Records of the King of Xin'an County

When Li Hui found Zhou Yi and Qin Cheng on the bank of the lotus pond, he saw that they were talking happily with Wang Zixian.Wang Yushi, who was wearing a glass-colored gown with wide sleeves, was smiling with a high-spirited demeanor, which made his already handsome face even more inexplicably attractive.If you listen closely, you can see that one moment he was discussing romantic poems and poems with Zhou Yi, and the next moment he mentioned to Qin Cheng the recent events in the court.

There are probably only a handful of people in the entire city of Chang'an who can hold down two cousins ​​at the same time.Li Hui couldn't help bending his lips and smiling: "It seems that Zixian, Ayi and Acheng hit it off, and they really are destined." He and his cousins ​​are not close, so the relationship between them is not like that of Li Jing. so close.Because of this, Prince Xian, who is his best friend, is also a little strange to them.

"Wang Yushi deserves to be the youngest No. [-] leader in the country." Zhou Yi sighed with burning eyes, "It's a pity that he failed to enter the Hongwen Library as a school secretary. Otherwise, why would he be rejected by some so-called outstanding talents?" Whose generation has all the fame? How can people belittle them in secret from time to time, or even be slandered for no reason?" Although he resembles his father, he is obsessed with poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. "Things, but it is not a person who does not understand the world.The practice of some people in the Hongwen Museum vying for fame for years is indeed a bit embarrassing.

"Wouldn't it be a pity that Wang Yushi is full of talent if he is only a school secretary?" Qin Cheng glanced at him. This impeachment has brought shame to the face and cleared the atmosphere of the court, even a bystander like me feels extremely happy watching it!" Not to mention, he just uprooted the accomplices involved in King Peng's treason case, and bravely and fearlessly fought with him. When they debated at court, it was enough for him to applaud.

The two stubborn young men insisted on their own opinions. Where their eyes met, there seemed to be sparks of sword light and sword shadow splashing invisible.Wang Zixian smiled helplessly: "Wang is ashamed to accept the praise of the two gentlemen. In terms of talent, loyalty, and courage, there are many talented people in the court, and Wang is just one of them. .”

Zhou Yi and Qin Cheng were stunned, waiting to praise him again, Li Hui said: "You don't have to do this, if you want to have more contact with Zixian in the future, just go find him while he is resting. Or you can go and listen to the literary meetings hosted by his friends. After all, it is different from other literary meetings, and I think you will definitely like it."

"Then Wang Yushi, don't forget to send us a post." Zhou Yi smiled, "Every day, I either go to Yang Zhuantou's literary meeting, or to Zheng Zhuantou's literary meeting. This Zhuangtou, that Zhuangtou, This literary society, that literary society is nothing more than flattery, pretending to write poems and prose, it doesn’t make much difference whether you go or not.”

"It's been a few days since I went out to the cultural conferences." Qin Cheng's eyes lighted up slightly, "Grandpa and Auntie held me tightly, and I have no interest in those literary conferences. However, if the literary conferences hosted by Wang Yushi Yes, I think they will definitely let me go out." The status of the Qin family is too sensitive, and he is also very strict with him as the eldest grandson.You can't go where you shouldn't go, you have to go where you should go, and his preferences are almost negligible.However, Wang Zixian is an out-and-out imperial party, so it should be no problem to associate with him.

"Don't worry, gentlemen." Wang Zixian took out two jade postcards from his sleeve, "As long as you show these two postcards, you can come and go to the Wenhui of Wang and his friends at will. As for when and where it will be held, Wang will Send another servant to deliver the post." These two jade stones are muddy and rough, almost worthless, but the scene of the curved water flowing cup carved on them is quite vivid, which makes one can't help but want to take a closer look.

Zhou Yi and Qin Cheng took it over and looked at it carefully, identifying the scene of Ci'en Temple from it.

"The post is also taken, and the appointment of the literary meeting is also set. Now you finally have time to go to Shuixuan with me?" Li Hui said with a smile: "If I can't bring you there, I'm afraid I won't be good with my cousin." Sister-in-law explain."

"..." Zhou Yi and Qin Cheng glanced at the group of young ladies from a distance, one seemed to be a little eager to try, and the other was quite indifferent.There is not much difference in age between the two of them, Zhou Yi is slightly older by one year, and Qin Cheng is only a few months older than Princess Changning.However, with only one year difference, there is a difference between those who have just begun to fall in love and those who have not yet fallen in love, and the reactions are also completely different.From Li Hui and Wang Zixian's point of view, it is quite interesting.

"Why don't Wang Yushi go with us?" Qin Cheng said suddenly, "Otherwise, it would be boring just for us to be bored in the water pavilion. Cousin is also not allowed to leave us alone."

Wang Zixian pretended to think for a moment, and readily agreed - he originally wanted to use these two young gentlemen to get close to Li Hui openly.Who taught him that the frankness of the past few days seemed to make Princess Pu Yan feel a little alienated?These two days, Li Hui didn't even want him to go to Prince Pu's Mansion, so the two could only meet in the Vine Garden.If Yan Shi deliberately separated them and kept Li Hui by his side, what excuse could he find to stay among the female relatives?

Fortunately, Li Hui appeared without him continuing to make countless twists and turns.Now that he has appeared, he must naturally follow him everywhere—maybe, Yan Shi gradually got used to it after seeing them accompany each other a lot?Maybe after getting used to it, you will be able to see it without seeing it?Even if these "maybes" are just guesses in his heart, in any case, he has to appear in front of his future mother (mother-in-law) as often as possible "invisible".

When the four of them walked through the plank road, many young gentlemen on the shore all showed envy.Although there were no young ladies on the plank road they passed by, the water pavilion they were about to go to was full of well-known high-ranking officials and aristocratic daughters in Chang'an City!That is a living future marriage!

Xu was to avoid suspicion, when the four of them came to Shuixuan, they saw that there were only Yan Shi, Princess Qinghe, Princess Changning and sisters, a strange lady and Mrs. Du sitting inside, and there was no one else.The Du family's mother and daughter are still in filial piety, their dress is relatively plain, and there is nothing eye-catching about them, like a touch of plain color among the colorful, which makes people look sideways, and is very easy to be drowned in the crowd.

Both Zhou Yi and Qin Cheng were extremely astute people. After guessing the identities of Du's mother and daughter, they saluted Yan and Princess Qinghe and asked to leave elsewhere.Princess Linchuan and Xiao Shi are entertaining guests in other water pavilions, whether they like it or not, they have to go to those places full of little ladies.

Li Hui and Wang Zixian stayed where they were, and after gracefully nodding to the Du family's mother and daughter, they sat beside Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an.Compared with the lively sound of silk and bamboo and talking and laughing not far away, this place is extraordinarily quiet, only Yan Shi, Princess Qinghe and Liu Shi are exchanging greetings back and forth.Princess Yong'an probably felt bored and couldn't help leaning on her cousin's arm, pouted her tender mouth and complained in a low voice that Shou Niang had gone elsewhere.

Mrs. Liu looked at the two surviving gentlemen without any trace, trying to identify which one was the king of Xin'an County.Although she had heard that the county king was born extremely outstanding, and his talent and character were rare, but she had never seen it before, so she was naturally a little worried.And the two young men in front of her, no matter which one is the king of Xin'an County, are enough to make her extremely happy - which mother-in-law would not like such a good son-in-law?

"Reckoning, Madam Du should be filial piety at the beginning of next year?" Yan Shi said, "I've been thinking that the marriage between the two of them should not be delayed any longer. After you have performed the funeral ceremony, immediately ask the sage to come down." The decree officially celebrates the sixth ceremony. If everything is properly prepared, we can get married at the end of next year. What do you think, Ah Liu?"

Compared with Yan Shi and Princess Qinghe, who are all graceful and luxurious, Liu Shi is like a little family jade, and there is inevitably a little nervousness in her seemingly calm demeanor.However, after mentioning the marriage, she seemed to be vaguely relieved, with a smile in her eyes: "Everything can be decided by Her Royal Highness. Jialan's dowry has already been prepared in our family, and we just wait for my son-in-law to welcome her on the right day Yes. As for the others—" She paused, seeming to hesitate to speak.

"A Liu, just make preparations, and don't worry about the rest." Yan said flatly, "It's just gossip, and no one in the Pu Palace will care about it. Mrs. Du... Jialan is gentle and peaceful, she is my favorite daughter-in-law, Don't worry." Seeing the gratitude in Liu's eyes, her eyes moved slightly, she glanced at Li Hui and Wang Zixian who seemed to be calm but frowning beside her, and then looked at Du Niangzi who had always lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"Jialan, what do you want to say? Xuanqi's county palace has not yet been built. If you want to adjust the layout of the house, or want to see some scenery, just say so. If you have any likes and taboos, don't worry about it." hide."

"..." Lady Du raised her eyes slightly, looked at the always gentle Yan Shi, and quietly glanced at Li Hui, who had a slightly strange expression.Almost instantly, she knew that Li Hui's actions were not going well, and that there was a high possibility of a complete failure.So, her expression turned cold, and she said softly: "I..."

However, before she could finish her words, Liu Shi who was next to her was holding her soft hand tightly, with a look of pain, fear and anger on her face.Madam Du stared at her blankly, her emotions gradually subsided into silence, and her face instantly became dark, as if she was here but her heart was not.

"Jialan is probably a little tired." Princess Qinghe smiled slightly, "Let's stay here and rest for a while. We also happened to go to the front to meet the guests." After finishing speaking, she looked at Yan Shi.Yan Shi stared at Lady Du fixedly, and after a long while, she smiled and said: "Alright, Wanniang should also miss Shouniang, let's go."

Princess Changning then smiled and took the two elders' arms, and told them the latest interesting things.Li Hui took Princess Yong'an by the hand and followed them slowly.Wang Zixian beside him glanced sideways at Du's mother and daughter who were sitting stiff in the water pavilion, and then looked at Yan's back, frowned and sighed almost inaudibly.

The mother and daughter of the Du family who stayed in the water pavilion were still in the same posture just now, as if they were in a stalemate.After a long time, the Liu family burst into tears like rain: "Jialan, after meeting the Prince of Xin'an, what are you still dissatisfied with? Can you find a better marriage in Chang'an City? The lady is secretly envious of you, why are you so stubborn?"

Madam Du let out a long sigh, and said in a harsh voice: "Aniang, no matter how good the King of Xin'an County is, he is not my beloved. I have said countless times that I have no intention of getting married. Why does Aniang always misinterpret it and think that my son Are you worried that you won't meet a good husband?"
