Records of the King of Xin'an County

Before you know it, it is already the end of late spring.The bustling and beautiful scenery is still there. In the bright spring, people continue to invite friends and friends to go out and play, feasting and singing and dancing everywhere.No matter what kind of stories of joys and sorrows, they are all annihilated in the hustle and bustle.However, with the holding of the Xinke Hibiscus Banquet, this year-old boy Jiadi Zhuangtou once again aroused the enthusiasm of the people in Chang'an City.

What does this rumored handsome and unrestrained young man look like?In the end, which family can capture him and become his new son-in-law?Can you see his heroic appearance riding a horse and exploring flowers all over Chang'an?Full of anticipation and curiosity, men, women and children poured out of the streets and alleys, heading to the Furong Garden by the Qujiang Pool as if they were celebrating a festival.Ordinary people can't enter the Furong Garden at this time, but if they can take a look at Xinke Jiadi from a distance, maybe they can also get a taste of his literary spirit?

Not only were the common people very lively, but even the children of officials and aristocratic families came to the Furong Garden for fun.Among them are the students of Guozixue and Taixue, who came here because of their reputation, hoping to get to know this new leader of the first class; there are also playboys who come just to satisfy their own interests, and take a look at this young man from a declining family What's so special about it; what's more, the charming little lady came here full of longing, secretly calculating in her heart, not knowing who can win this wishful gentleman.

In the Peony Garden, Prince Xin'an leaned on the railing of the small building, looking casually at the apricot garden next door.Now the apricot blossoms are about to fall. The apricot forest that used to be full of clouds and rosy clouds, but now it is like snow waves surging, as if thousands of pear trees are blooming in the pear orchard next door, which has a special charm.In the depths of the apricot forest, there is a quaint small building looming, with a few corners of cornices exposed, and copper bells hanging on the corners of the cornices, gently ringing with the wind.

The breeze rushed towards the face with the ringing of the bell, and it seemed that bursts of talking and laughing could be vaguely heard.From such a distance, it is reasonable to say that these voices should not be distinguished clearly, but the Xin'an County King seems to be able to hear the familiar magnetic voice among them.Realizing that he was listening to the laughter in the wind, King Xin'an narrowed his eyes, unconsciously lost in thought.

There is only one person who can make him stunned.And since that person expressed his intentions, he has become much stronger.Although he couldn't be regarded as being aggressive all the time, he still approached him step by step calmly.Every advance must be followed by a retreat, and he gradually realized that in the face of such passionate affection, he might have no way out.

"This hibiscus banquet is nothing more than that." Princess Changning, who was sitting beside him, said lazily, "Pushing cups and changing glasses is no different from ordinary banquets. Looking at it from a distance, it's not interesting. I really don't know those people outside Where did the excitement come from, just waiting, but also laughing and laughing, it was so lively everywhere."

"They came here to see the first-ranked head of the new department, not the hibiscus feast. Just the demeanor of the first-ranked head is enough for them to talk about it for a year and a half, and they will naturally be able to calm down." Li Hui Glancing at her, she smiled but said, "Only you, because you are neither doing the Furong Banquet nor the Xinke Zhuangtou, naturally you find it extremely boring. It's really hard for you, since you don't want to watch the Furong Banquet and Xinke Zhuangtou, why bother?" How about a trip out of the palace?"

Hearing this, Princess Changning couldn't help blushing, and looked at Wang Zimu who was sitting not far away: "Brother, didn't you also look drowsy just now? Even I came here specially for Xinke's appearance. You are so lacking in interest, how can I be an exception?" After that, she hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you know what happened to the Wang family recently?"

As an astonishingly intelligent little lady, she has already been keenly aware that since Wang Zimu returned to Shangzhou twice, she has become much more melancholy.The young man with a warm smile in the past seems to have all kinds of sorrow in his eyes, and even his smile is not as pure and moving as before.Although his affection for her was still strong, and he did not ignore her because of this, but she vaguely felt that he must not be allowed to continue to fall into these emotions.Otherwise, he might not be able to come out one day.

Li Hui followed her line of sight, pondered for a while, and said, "Since something happened to the Wang family, why didn't you ask him?" Tell him what happened afterwards.He not only knew the current fate of Wang Chang and Xiao Yang, but also knew their future fate.Even the matter of solving Prince Ling by the way, and temporarily entrusting the two younger sisters and concubine Zeng to the care of the patriarch, he is clear about the cause and effect.

"..." Princess Changning remained silent. After hesitating for a moment, she replied with some annoyance, "He doesn't want to tell me, if I insist on asking him, wouldn't it annoy him even more? I always feel that if I ask Yes, he will definitely tell me, but there will be hidden worries in his heart, and something will happen in the future."

"If you don't dare to ask, then you don't have to ask him, and you don't have to ask me." Li Hui shook his head lightly, "Just wait. When he is willing to talk, he will naturally talk to you." Comparing with them Bi, the young couple is obviously only immersed in their love affairs for the time being, even if they are aware of each other's changes, they can only carefully insinuate, or even remain silent.The relationship between them was too short and fragile, and it took a long time to form an unshakable trust between them.

Princess Changning puffed up her cheeks slightly, looked at him with anger and resentment, and then led Princess Yong'an: "Come on, let's go outside to see the flower envoy. Ignore brother, let him sit here and watch from a distance."

Princess Yong'an was fiddling with the peony buds she had picked. After hearing her words, she smiled brightly: "Zhuangtou promised me that he would give me a flower hairpin to wear!" The little guy's memory is very good.

Seeing the two nobles coming downstairs, Wang Zimu recovered from his stupefaction and hurried to follow.However, when he got up, Li Hui's gaze stopped him.For some reason, whenever he sees the king of Xin'an County, he can't help but feel self-blaming thoughts like "my parents want to kill his father", and then he will immediately become stiff, and his behavior and demeanor can no longer be as usual.

Li Hui didn't notice the guilt and entanglement in his heart, but said lightly: "You can go with me." Nowadays, the Furong Garden is full of people, and if you are a little careless, the matter between him and Princess Changning will teach anyone who cares to find out .When this kind of crowd is surging, it is even more necessary to pay attention.

Wang Zimu nodded slightly, knowing that his behavior was a bit reckless.So, he followed Li Hui step by step, sometimes in a daze, sometimes in a daze.In Princess Changning's eyes, she looked so out of her mind, as if she had been severely taught by the Prince of Xin'an.

She frowned, and was about to defend her lover, when she heard shouts and laughter suddenly outside.Li Hui also vaguely heard people calling "Xinke Zhuangtou" and "That's Xinke Zhuangtou", so he couldn't help speeding up his pace and boarded the corridor at the corner of Peony Garden.

This promenade is built on the side of the wall adjacent to the Peony Garden and the Apricot Garden, like an air bridge, spanning the two gardens.If you stand on the promenade and look down, you can see the scenes inside and outside the two gardens and even outside the Furong Garden.In fact, this is the best place to "watch" the apricot banquet of the new academicians, but they didn't come here in the first place to avoid suspicion.Now that the "Tian Hua Envoy" has come out, attracting people to watch, they naturally don't have to be shy about anything.

Li Hui picked up Princess Yong'an, leaned on the railing and looked down, and saw that the people surrounding the gate of the apricot garden gave way to a small path in the middle like diverted river water.Wang Zixian chatted and laughed with another young new Jinshi, walked out Yanyan, and bowed to everyone.

His face was exquisitely handsome, gentle and jade-like, with a calm demeanor, and his mannerisms carried the unique elegance of a family member, which made many people who had just seen the first-time Xinke first-class head couldn't help cheering loudly.Moreover, this young boy was not as pale and thin as people imagined. He was tall and tall. He was wearing a white and blue long-sleeved gown with cross-breasted and wide-sleeved sleeves.

Almost instantly, countless sachets and flowers fell from the sky, accompanied by the laughter of the little ladies, and fell on him.He didn't dodge, didn't show shyness, and didn't have a romantic gesture of catching anyone casually. He still walked through the rain of sachets and flowers calmly.

Moreover, what is even more strange is that no matter what hit him, it did not damage his demeanor at all.On the contrary, the young Jinshi who was with him, even after being hit a few times, his head was a little crooked, so he could only adjust his clothes with a wry smile.However, if this is the case, he is still at ease, with a smile on his handsome face all the time, which is not concealed by Wang Zhuangtou's demeanor, which makes many scholars and young ladies think highly of him.

As a result, there were voices of inquiry one after another in the crowd: "Who is this person? Wang Zhuangtou doesn't seem to be married yet, what about him? Does he have an engagement? If he can't be listed as a son-in-law to catch Wang Zhuangtou, this new Jinshi will also be married." Very good. Judging by the age, it is just a championship."

The two flower hunters struggled through the crowd, and finally joined their servants, took the reins of the horse and turned up, their crisp movements caused the crowd to surge again.It seems that no matter what they are doing at this moment, someone is cheering for them.In Li Hui's eyes, the two of them were like monkeys playing all kinds of tricks, and the sachets and flowers thrown were their rewards?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Wang Zixian seemed to be aware of his gaze, and looked back suddenly, his eyebrows were flying, and the light in his eyes was flowing.

The eyes of the two met in the air, but for a moment, they seemed to understand each other's thoughts.Wang Zixian shook his head helplessly, and galloped away, and the back view attracted admiration from many people.Li Hui's smile deepened a little, which made Princess Yong'an feel curious, and couldn't help stretching out her fat fingers to pinch his face: "Brother, what are you laughing at? Is there anything interesting?"

"It's nothing." Li Hui said with a smile, "Look, does the Tanhua Envoy look like a fish swimming against the current?"

"Fish?" The little guy turned his head and took a closer look—the two envoys, who were supposed to be galloping like horses, were still struggling in the crowded crowd, and every time they went, there were bursts of exclamations. , Even the horse shook its head and tail impatiently, doesn't it look like a fish in a stream?

She opened her eyes wide, clapped her hands happily and said with a smile, "Like! Like! It's a fish!"

Princess Changning couldn't help laughing out loud, and squinted at her elder brother: "Brother, are you watching Tanhuashi or Baixi?"

"Traveling flowers is like a show, you can watch it all." Li Hui replied.

Hearing this, the smiles of the two noble lords became cuter and more charming.Even Wang Zimu showed a rare two-point smile.

This situation fell into the eyes of some people in the Furong Garden, and each had their own considerations.
