Records of the King of Xin'an County

Early the next morning, Wang Zixian and Wang Zimu had a meal together.Due to the festival, Ah Liu tried his best to cook a lot of chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum soup, steamed chrysanthemum dumpling, etc., which won the praise of the two brothers.While eating, Wang Zimu looked at the emerald green, golden or red chrysanthemum dumplings, and suddenly asked: "There is not even a pot of chrysanthemums in our courtyard. Where do these chrysanthemum petals of various colors come from?"

Wang Zixian glanced at A Liu lightly, and A Liu smiled calmly: "The lady in charge of the house next door heard that the pastries made by the servant are good, so she exchanged the cut chrysanthemums for some pastry recipes for the festival. Sanlang And take a closer look, these chrysanthemums are not very expensive. Otherwise, slaves would not dare to use them to make cakes, it would be better to just wear them as hairpins for gentlemen."

Wang Zimu nodded suddenly, and said to the prince: "Brother, speaking of it, we have lived here for so long, and we have never visited our neighbors. Should we visit each other one by one and give them gifts? "He is still young, and he doesn't know much about this kind of worldly relationship. After coming to Chang'an, Fang became more sensible.

"When I moved here, I have already visited. The left neighbor is another courtyard, and the main house is not often there; the right neighbor is a barbarian merchant, and it is not easy to come and go frequently." During the New Year's Eve, just give some small gifts, and you don't have to take it too seriously."

He had asked Qingsou to carefully prepare the ceremony for the Double Ninth Festival, and the officials, friends, and "neighbors" of the Guozi School never missed it.It's just that Prince Pu's Mansion got some pastries specially purchased from restaurants in Xishi.Courtesy is light on affection, and everyone's gift in return is also something of commensurate value, which is quite a sense of friendship between gentlemen.Only Prince Pu's mansion sent two gifts in return, and the second time should have been given by Li Hui alone, and it was also some food and drink such as chrysanthemum wine and cornel chrysanthemum cake.

After eating the court food, the two brothers ordered the trilogy to prepare their horses and planned to go out.Wang Zimu was very excited when he learned last night that his elder brother was the host and invited Guozixue students to Nanshan to hold the Qushui Liucup Party.Finally, it was his family's turn to hold this kind of party, and he was able to go out with his elder brother in a proper manner.However, Wang Ziling has not returned home for two or three days, such an opportunity has not been caught up, it has to be said that fate has not arrived.

As soon as the two brothers rode out of the street, they ran into Wang Ziling who was surrounded by a group of people.Wang Zixian glanced lightly, and found that Wang Ziling seemed quite drunk, and the dozen or so people around him either behaved extremely courteously, or showed admiration in their eyes, as if they were following him Deliberately please him.As for those beautiful servant girls, they were even more coquettish, or proud, as if they wished to let everyone around them know that this young man who stole the limelight was their master.

"Big brother, third brother, where are you going?" Wang Ziling asked with a smile in his drunken eyes.Presumably because there are others around, his words and deeds are quite chic, and there is no disrespect.

"I have an appointment with my classmates, and I will go to Nanshan to attend the meeting of Qushui Liushang." The prince offered, "These are the friends you met in the literary meeting recently?" Perhaps the diligent person knows the identity of his family, what does he want to get? The benefits are hard to hide the flattery, but it's a pity that I don't know that the Wang family has already fallen, and I can't find anything for them; the admirers may be scholars with ordinary qualifications, who are attracted by his appearance and flashy words, but it's a pity that I don't know his failure Among them, the xinxing is low.

Sure enough, Wang Ziling refused to study at ease, and was often annoyed that he hadn't recommended any literary clubs, so he searched everywhere by himself, and in the end the people he met were nothing more than that.However, like their grandpa, he enjoys such false flattery the most.A little praise makes my heart flutter, and at the same time, it becomes more arrogant and conceited, and the more I can't recognize my own qualifications and abilities.

"No, these brothers and sisters are all rare young talents. I went to the literary fair with them, and I gained a lot!" Wang Ziling is not completely unaware that these people around him are the sons of the prince Xian. It's true that students can't talk in a day.But he has developed an arrogant temperament since he was a child, and no matter how willing he is to admit that he is inferior, he must praise everyone together.And the people around him naturally beamed with joy when they heard his praise, and they humbly said "exaggerated", but in fact they were quite useful.

Wang Zimu frowned - he naturally felt that these people were difficult to get along with, but he was kind-hearted, and it was impossible for him to embarrass Wang Ziling in front of others, so he had to remain silent.The joy that had just been caused by the grand event of Qushui Liushang also subsided a lot involuntarily.

But Wang Zixian just smiled slightly: "In that case, treat them well." After saying that, he rode his horse and left.Wang Zimu did not hesitate and followed closely behind him.Instead of wasting time with this group of people, it would be better to meet those real heroes in Guozixue earlier!

In an instant, Wang Ziling woke up completely from his drunkenness, his face turning green and pale.Only then did he suddenly remember, how could he possibly entertain guests in such a simple and crude yard?After finally shaping himself as the dignified son of Langya Wang, he regards money as dung, his family background is extremely rich, and his reputation has just spread, how can he teach this dilapidated courtyard to be demolished right now? !

So, he had no choice but to immediately find an excuse to send all the people around him away.After racking his brains, he suddenly remembered——Just now what Wang Zixian said was the meeting of classmates!Those are all outstanding talents in Guozixue, and the father and grandfather in the family are at least third-rank Zifu officials!How could he miss such a good opportunity? !

However, when he sternly asked Bu Qu to find the prince and present the two, they had already gone far.Still not reconciled, he called Aliu, who was alone in the courtyard, to inquire, but she didn't know what to ask, and only said that the two gentlemen said they were going to visit Nanshan.

Because of some mediocrity, I missed the opportunity to make friends with good talents and beautiful jade, which made Wang Ziling almost spit out his heart.Of course he became more and more resentful towards Wang Zixian, even towards Wang Zimu, he was quite dissatisfied and jealous.If it wasn't for this younger brother who didn't give any hints just now, how could he miss such an opportunity? !

Not to mention how envious and jealous Wang Ziling was at home, after Wang Zixian reunited with his friends, he introduced his younger brother Wang Zimu to them.Wang Zimu's heart is rare, it can be said that he is the only child in the Wang family.Even though he was born of the Xiao Yang family, Wang Zixian never took his anger out on him, on the contrary he took good care of him.Of course, this move will inevitably have the intention of dividing and estranged, and it will also be suspected of wooing, but after all, I want to train this son well as a help in the future.

Sure enough, after getting acquainted with the real talents of Guozixue, Wang Zimu completely forgot his previous worries and displeasure.Together they climbed high and looked far, planted dogwood, and then had an archery competition. Everyone became more and more excited, so they found a suitable water canal and held a meeting of Qushui Liushang.Whoever stops the cup in front of him will have to recite poems and compose Fu, or at worst write and paint.Because we are all friends, we don't want to compete for superiority, but we have more fun.

Wang Zimu was immersed in it, fascinated, not only memorized all the poems and poems they chanted casually, but even felt that everyone's comments were enough to recollect from time to time.Seeing so many heroes, Fang Fang clearly realized the extraordinaryness of his elder brother—whether he wrote poems or poems, his connotations were higher than others, and even simple writing and painting attracted everyone's praise.As a result, he respected his elder brother more and more in his heart.

When the brothers of the Wang family went to visit Nanshan Mountain, Li Hui was also called by his grandfather to come to the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace to watch the archery competition among the ministers.I don't know when the custom of Double Ninth Shooting started, but the palace has always attached great importance to it.Early in the morning, Qianniuwei set up a big shooting field in front of Liangyi Hall.And a group of high-ranking officials in purple clothes had already changed into the hakama pleats that military officers often wear at home, holding their love bows, and came to the venue one after another.

The sage was also dressed in hakama folds, holding a bow and arrow with a smile, and shot the first arrow.As Qianniuwei shouted "Zhong", the officials also congratulated and praised one after another.The saint stroked his long beard quite contentedly, and went back to the high platform behind to watch the battle.Today's big shooter is a group of officials, he only needs to shoot one arrow.

On the high platform, all the royal families were also present, and Li Hui and Princess Changning accompanied the saint, which was quite eye-catching.Just when Li Hui suddenly felt that someone was watching him, and couldn't help but want to find out that person, ten important ministers were already standing in the arena holding arrows.I saw them all raising their bows in different postures, and then let go of the bowstring to shoot arrows.Shoot ten arrows in a row, don't rest until you finish shooting, and then shoot with another person.

All of a sudden, the arrows shot out.Some of them went crookedly, some of them didn't know where to go, and some even happened to knock down other arrows, and both sides suffered losses.

"..." Li Hui, who thought that these important ministers should be both civil and military, was stunned—if he hadn't misread just now, one of them missed ten shots?I'm afraid this must have never been practiced in archery, nor does it have any talent for archery, to achieve such a level!However, in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, how rare are those who have never practiced archery?I'm afraid it's even rarer than the one who hits ten shots out of ten! !

Qian Niuwei loudly reported the results of the group of officials, and sure enough, one or two missed ten shots, and one or two hits in ten shots.The sage couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "The two lovers are really like this! Year after year, year after year, there is no progress! Anyway, I will reward each of you with ten gold as a consolation, so that you will not come back due to illness in the future." Already!"

The two important ministers came over to express their thanks without changing their expressions, and there was extremely joyful laughter among the ministers.I don't know who laughed and joked a few words, which made everyone laugh out loud.After one or two hours, the shooting of the officials was almost over, and the clan members were all eager to try.So, after the sage rewarded several important ministers who scored nine out of ten shots, he said: "I don't care about you anymore, let's all go to the field! Whoever shoots the best, I will reward you five times the reward just now!!"

With such a promise from him, King Jing, King Lu, and King Peng Xu were the BMWs obtained by the courtiers who were eager to win, so they all left the stage, and Li Kun and Li Heng also went to join in the fun.Not to mention the juniors, they went down with enthusiasm.Li Hui took Changning Princess and helped the saint into the shooting range.The two of them shot ten arrows in turn, Li Hui hit eight out of ten arrows, and Princess Changning hit four out of ten arrows.

"Okay! It's not in vain for me to teach you these days." The sage said, "However, the posture of Caiyue Niang just now is not right. Come on, grandpa will show you how to shoot!" After finishing speaking, he picked up the bow again and shot vigorously. Shoot two or three arrows, all hit.Li Hui and Princess Changning cheered and cheered for their grandfather without hesitation.

The sage continued to shoot with all his strength, but when the shot reached the back, he was already a bit exhausted, and in the end he hit seven out of ten shots.With a sigh, he stuffed the bow and arrow into his grandson's arms, and patted his shoulder casually: "Sure enough, I'm old..." After saying that, it was inevitable that he felt a bit desolate.

Li Hui sighed in his heart, and said earnestly: "Grandfather is always strong and strong, and he has scored seven out of ten shots."

Princess Changning also echoed: "My son only hits four out of ten shots, so my grandfather is much better than my son!"

The sage smiled and looked at them: "You don't need to be relieved any more. How can I admit defeat? Sooner or later I must win against A Hui! Come on, come on, you two shoot well, and there is no need to compare with others. Let's say Say, what do you want as a reward? Grandfather will give it to you!"

Li Hui and Princess Changning didn't say any more, and asked for a horizontal knife and a barrier knife respectively.The sage gave them his usual horizontal knife and barrier knife: "Ah Hui wants another Mo knife, and he can go out and kill the enemy. Yue Niang, this barrier knife is really sharp, don't hurt yourself."

"It's worth it." Princess Changning couldn't put it down, and replied with a smile.

Not long after, the competition among the clan members also ended, and finally Li Wei won with ten shots and ten hits.The saint rewarded him with five BMWs in one fell swoop, and Li Jing and Li Hui couldn't help being extremely envious, watching him excitedly to pick horses.When the saint saw it, his heart softened, and he asked all the juniors to go to the stable to pick a horse.As a result, a group of young teenagers and young ladies immediately smiled.

After the shooting, a banquet was held in the palace, which lasted until the sunset.Whether it is a saint, a clan or a group of officials, everyone is happy to see it.

The author has something to say: Wang Ziling: Master has a family background!Lord is rich!Master is talented!Wahahahahahaha!You mortals, kneel and lick your master! !

Everyone: As expected of Wang Langjun! !Wang Langjun Saigao! ! (Idiot, pay for it! Idiot, hurry up and introduce someone to me!!)

Wang Ziling: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Wang Zimu: These are a group of people recruited from somewhere.

Wang Zixian: Hehe, don't pay attention to him, it will break if you poke it.

Wang Ziling: Ahahahahaha...you are jealous!envy!

Wang Zixian: ^^, what about the living expenses this month?

Wang Ziling: _(:3」∠)_Do you want money, or die! !
