Great Blue Night Watchman

Qu Jiahui was deeply touched when he heard this and said, Second brother, you are right. You should take it easy for a while. Don't go to Jialiang for the time being. I asked Jin'er to go to him. If you have done something wrong, you need to bear the responsibility yourself...

That night, Qu Jin put down his body and came to Qu Xiu's yard, apologized to Lin Jialiang for his earlier neglect, and admitted his mistake for this incident...

After he left, Lin Jialiang was embarrassed and stood in front of the window for a long time looking into the distance.

It was still late at night, and a piece of clothing was gently draped on his body. Lin Jialiang turned sideways and saw his wife Qu Xiu.

Madam, what do you think I should do?

The third brother left the Qu family in anger. If he begged him for mercy, it wouldn't be a mistake for the third brother to buy it or not. Wouldn't it embarrass him?

Qu Xiu smiled softly: Husband, I still don't know my uncle very well. Every step he takes has a purpose. Maybe he was waiting for you to speak!

Lin Jialiang was slightly surprised...

Qu Xiu said: The Qu family is facing a dilemma and needs to work together. The previous Qu family was divided into two factions. Before the danger came, they themselves became chaotic. Such a Qu family cannot deal with external crises. Uncle is After seeing this, I took action on Qu Jin and used this matter to help the Qu family unite!

Lin Jialiang's head jumped, is it really?

Have you not seen how affectionate uncle and dad have been in the past two days? How much respect do Qu Jin and Qu Wu have for us? Qu Xiu said: Uncle wanted us to be good people by being a bad person, and finally made it happen. A fusion of composers.”

Then...then should I contact him?

Let's give it a few days, so that their memory will be more profound, and at the same time, it will not disrupt uncle's deployment arrangements...

…

On the Qingming Festival, at the foot of the Western Mountains, although the mist and rain were misty, it still could not stop the talented and beautiful people from all walks of life.

It must be said that people in this world are still full of literary and artistic atmosphere in their hearts. As long as anything that is a bit literary and artistic can be done, it really does not distinguish between men, women, old and young.

The road to the northwest leads to Green Willow Villa. Zhang Haoran, Huo Qi, and Li Yangxin came side by side. They didn't just happen to run into each other. Huo Qi and Li Yangxin were acquaintances with Zhang Haoran. Because they were in the same camp in Zhaixinglou , deepened the friendship between the two parties. Two days ago, Huo Qi and Li Yangxin made an appointment to go to Green Willow Villa, where they gathered with Zhang Haoran for two days. They also saw with their own eyes the song Jiugong Mountain written by Lin Su at Green Willow Villa, A thousand mottled bamboos. Teardrops, red clouds with hundreds of flowers and thousands of clothes. These two eternal quatrains were carefully carved on his flute by Huo Qi, who played with it all the time. It was a sign of extreme love.

Brother Zhang, do you think he will really come today? Huo Qi patted the flute gently in his hand and asked a question that most people would ask.

Yes, Li Yangxin asked.

Three days ago, they made an appointment with Lin Su to go to Xishan during the Qingming Festival. At that time, they did not expect that the turmoil that followed would be so great. Five talented students were cut off from the imperial examination. Every family is looking for Lin Su. It is said that Lin Su can no longer stay in the Qu family. He lives in seclusion away from home and does not meet anyone at all. In this case, will he keep the appointment?

You need to know that the agreement between them is purely for fun and has no real meaning.

Zhang Haoran smiled softly: If he didn't plan to come, Hongyan would have told me in a letter long ago. Since he didn't inform me, he would naturally keep the appointment.

Li Yangxin looked around: If he goes to the appointment, Xishan will probably be very lively today. Look, the butler of the Lu Mansion! Over there, is that the butler of the Zuo Mansion?

Zhang Haoran smiled faintly: Not just Lu Mansion and Zuo Mansion? People from the Zhao family and Zhang family also came here, but they are hidden in the dark and it is not convenient for them to show up in public.

Lin Su cast a net, and there were five big fish in the net. The conditions of these five fish were also different.

The Qu family is the most promising to escape, after all, they are relatives.

The Lu family and the Zuo family come second, because on the surface, the Lu family and the Zuo family have no major conflicts with the Lin family and the Qu family.

The Zhao family and Lin Su had basically broken up with each other. Their direct descendant Zhao Ji had bet with Lin Su three times in a row. But it's not a life-or-death feud.

The Zhang family is the real life and death enemy.

Therefore, Zhang Haoran and the others analyzed for two or three days and came to the conclusion that these five people will have different results. Qu Jin, Lu Yujing, and Zuo Chunlang may escape, while the possibility of Zhao Yuanxiong and Zhang Hong escape is very slim. .

This result made them quite excited.

Why? Because Zhao Yuanxiong and Zhang Hong are both very popular holy Jinshi candidates for this palace examination.

Zhao Yuanxiong, Jingfu Huixi Huiyuan, Jingfu Huixi, the gold content is far higher than that of other state examinations, and its Huiyuan is one step away from the dazzling Holy Jinshi.

As for Zhang Hong, Jiyuan, who was in the last Beijing Examination, because of his marriage to the Holy Family, had withheld it for three years and settled down for three years. He was determined to win the Holy Jinshi this time.

Such two super popular candidates were sniped out of the palace examination by Lin Su in this way. For everyone in this palace examination, it was a big joy event.

But precisely because these two people are popular candidates for the palace examination, the Zhao and Zhang families will never accept their fate. They will definitely use all means to compete with Lin Su and force Lin Su to remove these two people from the blacklist Release it.

On the official road, there were many carriages and people coming and going in an endless stream. About a quarter of an hour later, a figure in blue strolled past the roadside. In the mist of drizzle, his figure floated out of the dust.

Here he comes! Huo Qi smiled softly: He didn't actually ride in a carriage. It seems that his hiding place is not far away.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Su appeared in front of him: Brother Huo said this, what does hiding mean? Do I need to hide?

Zhang Haoran smoothed things over: Brother Huo's main point is not to hide or not, but because he didn't see your carriage. He is a little suspicious... Where are your wine and perfume hidden?

Ha ha……

Lin Su laughed loudly: You really don't know how to be polite... Come! Three of you, one for each person!

Hands together, three bags were handed to the three of them. As soon as the three opened it, they were all overjoyed. This is the demon clan storage bag. It contains ten bottles of spring tears, ten altars of white clouds, and they are all Grade A, not to mention The market value of the contents inside is at least two thousand taels, and this bag alone is worth more than one hundred taels.

I was preparing to go to Gongyuan tomorrow to visit my mentor. I was worried that I didn't have any good gifts. Now I'm fine. Next to a jar of Grade A white clouds, my custodian has a tall beard. Huo Qi smiled happily.

Zhang Haoran smiled: The happiest person is Brother Li. Brother Li has made a new confidante in Xinghualou. This Spring Tears perfume will probably be his wedding gift tonight...

Lin Su smiled and said: One of them respects teachers and the other values ​​affection. What about you? What tricks are you going to play?

Zhang Haoran said: After my imperial examination, I will leave the ancient Nanyang Kingdom. I am afraid this gift is not enough. When the time comes, can you give me more support?

The ancient country of Nanyang? Why go?

Huo Qi introduced the situation to him. Brother Zhang told him about a marriage. She was the legitimate daughter of a great scholar from the ancient Nanyang Kingdom. After the imperial examination, he needed to visit...

Congratulations! Lin Su expressed his position directly: Beside a hundred altars of white clouds, there are a hundred bottles of spring tears. I will ask them to bring them over next time they purchase goods. When the goods arrive, I will ask people from the Qu family to deliver them to you.

Zhang Haoran was so surprised, Baitan? Hundred bottles? Are you serious?

Lin Sudao: Brother Huo, Brother Li, the same goes for you two. As long as you marry a real wife, tell me. But the ugly words are ahead. Don't marry a bunch of real wives just to order wine and perfume. …”

Hahahaha, several people laughed at the same time.

After a conversation about perfume and wine, the friendship between the four of them skyrocketed. When they first met, they were just friends, but when they got to the bottom of the mountain, they were like old friends.

Lin Su never liked calling friends, but that didn't mean he wasn't good at making friends.

He comes from modern society and still has emotional intelligence.

He knows whom to make friends with and how to make them.

The three people in front of him had the same interests as him, and they were all young and talented people, so they were naturally suitable for making friends, and the power behind them was also very important.

He could have brought the gift directly to Green Willow Villa, but instead he asked someone from the Qu family to deliver it, and his purpose became even more obvious.

The Qu family may be about to face a dilemma. He created conditions for the Qu family to establish contact with these three families, and also paved the way for the Qu family.

The Qu family and the Lin family are currently a community of interests, and can even be regarded as a line of defense for the Lin family in the capital.

The three young people in front of them did not understand these arrangements. They only had one feeling, that is, this new friend was unparalleled in his generosity.

They went up Xishan in the crowd, and in a simple and elegant carriage, three pairs of beautiful eyes intertwined, it was Xie Xiaoyan, Bi Xuanji and Lu Youwei.

Xie Xiaoyan said: Mystery, how many Baiyunbian and Spring Tears are in that bag?

Ten altars, ten bottles! Just say it! Bi Xuanji said. Although she was also sitting in the carriage, she seemed to have the same ability as Dark Night. She could accurately see what was inside through the carriage and the demon clan's treasure bag.

Are you really trying to win over someone by placing such a heavy bet?

Bi Xuanji's eyes showed a hint of thinking.

Lu Youwei smiled softly: Whether it's a big bet or not varies from person to person. For him, it may not be a big bet.

Xie Xiaoyan nodded: That's true! I heard that when he sold Baiyunbian wine to Haining Lou, it was only one tael of silver per catty, and it was obviously very profitable. As for Chunlei, the cost is not too high, and the real value is What makes Liancheng famous is not his wine or perfume, but his talent and knowledge that are like a human being... Xuanji, keep an eye on him. The four great talents are out on their spring outing. Today there should be new poems and new words coming out, so don’t miss it.

The carriage started moving, following the flow of people up the mountain...

The beauty of the West Mountain is truly indescribable. It’s truly a scene at every step. There are pavilions and pavilions everywhere, and peach blossoms are blooming freely, blooming on the cliffs, in the valleys, on the hillsides, on the sides of the pavilions, and even in an ancient building. A peach tree also grew on the wall of the pavilion, and it still bloomed.

Lin Su sighed: This Western Mountain is really strange. The mountain is full of peach blossoms, with only one variety, and there are no other flowers. Why?

Zhang Haoran said: People are rumoring that it is because there is a peach mother in this mountain. The peach blossoms all over the mountain are actually the descendants of that peach mother.

He raised his finger and pointed at the bright red above.

Lin Su was shocked. The direction Zhang Haoran pointed at was bright red, like a dense peach forest. Could this peach forest be one plant?

Take a closer look, it’s true!

This peach tree is so huge that it occupies an entire hillside, but there is clearly only one main trunk below. Ten people cannot hold the main trunk, and the canopy above covers half of the Lingyin Temple behind it.

A single tree forms a forest, it's a wonder in the world! Lin Su said: Go and have a look!

Soon, they arrived under the tree and looked up. The crown of the tree above was even more ridiculously large. The tallest peach branch was at least a hundred feet away from below. The soft peach blossoms bloomed here with overwhelming momentum.

How old is this peach tree? Three thousand years? Two thousand years? It must be more than a thousand years!

Zhang Haoran smiled: Speaking of this peach tree, there is a legend, but no matter how I hear it, it doesn't seem to be true...

Legend? You have to listen to it! Huo Qidao said: The legend of the Jiugong Mountain fairy descending to the earth has made Brother Lin's famous story The Emperor's Son Rides the Wind and Descends the Green Wei through the ages. Let's also listen to the legend. Maybe we can write one too. Colorful poems...

Judging from these words, Huo Qi is quite persistent in writing colorful poems.

Zhang Haoran said...

It is said that thousands of years ago, Xishan was not as beautiful as the one before us, but an ordinary barren mountain. A group of extremely ferocious bandits turned into bandits here, robbing passers-by and killing passing merchants. The mountains were filled with bones, and the river , all the blood has been shed for years. At that time, Da Cang had not yet established a country, and there was no capital there, and no one could control them. Within a thousand miles, this mountain was regarded as a restricted area.

On a stormy night, a Buddhist temple suddenly fell from the sky and hit the bandits' headquarters. Thousands of bandits were killed.

A few months later, a group of traveling merchants passed by and were surprised to find that Xishan, which had not been there for a few months, had undergone earth-shaking changes. There was an ancient Buddhist temple and this huge peach blossom in front of the temple.

From then on, there were no more thieves in Xishan, and there were more peach blossoms every day, covering the entire mountain...

Lingyin Temple claims that it is the power of Buddha that protects this world.

Lin Su, Huo Qi, and Li Yangxin burst into laughter.

Isn't this legend clearly a trick used by Buddhists to attract believers? Making up a story to attract people to worship Buddha is an old trick of Buddhism. This story is not well crafted at all, it is dry and has no twist or charm...

Zhang Haoran himself also laughed: Thousands of years ago, this place was just a desolate place, and few people came here. No one can tell what the situation is, and it is most suitable to make it up at will. The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have been competing for believers for many years. No matter how extreme it is, it is very possible to make up a story to attract believers... The other side of this peach tree is an elegant place, we must go.

What's on the other side?

It is the wonderful realm of flowers falling and flowing prose.

What is Hua Luo Liu Wen? Similar to the Qu Shui Shang in China's Jin and Tang dynasties, it is a game played among literati. They dig a small ditch around where they sit, place wine glasses and the like upstream, and let the wine glasses flow along the water. Whoever has it can pick it up and drink. Later, it gradually evolved into another way for literati to compete with each other. For example, let the wine glass float naturally, and the person next to you beats the drum. When the drum stops, whoever has the wine glass closest to him will sing. A poem - this is the combination of beating drums to spread flowers and meandering water to drink wine.

Ancient literati were very good at playing.

And people in this world are better at playing.
