Records of the King of Xin'an County

For three days before and after the Shangyuan Festival, Chang'an canceled the curfew and celebrated all night long. People watched lanterns, sang songs, and visited all night long. It can be said to be the most lively time of the year.Also because there is no curfew, the Lantern Festival is even more exciting than New Year's Eve and Yuan Day.Almost no one will miss such a good time, whether it is ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they all want to go to the middle of the market.No matter how crowded it is, it cannot stop the enthusiasm and excitement of the crowd.

It was also the night of Shangyuan, but Wang Zixian lived quite peacefully.Wang Ziling and Wang Zimu were busy attending the Yang family's banquet, so they had no time to pay attention to him, and he was also happy to spend the festival with Mr. Song, his mentor and his apprentice.Li Da and A Liu's couple had already carefully decorated the vine garden, bought a lot of lanterns, and tied them up to look like lamp trees and lighthouses, making this exquisite small courtyard brightly lit and adding a bit of vitality.

Wang Zixian accompanied Mr. Song for a walk under the lantern tree, admiring these ordinary lanterns, without any intention of going out to watch the excitement.Moreover, enjoying the scenery under the lights seems to be quite a bit of fun that is rarely seen in ordinary times.At the beginning, Mr. Song was still supporting his long beard, feeling happy for his filial piety, but as the time got later and later, he couldn't help but look at his disciples frequently.

The din outside became more and more noisy, but Wang Zixian remained unmoved, as if he didn't feel curious and novel at all.Mr. Song finally couldn't help but said: "The rare Shangyuan Festival, you actually plan to spend it here? You don't go out to visit Dongshi, or take a walk in front of the imperial city? The lantern wheel, which is tens of feet high, is like a real city tower I'm afraid you've never seen such a majestic lantern tower or a tree full of jeweled lanterns?"

"I have never seen it before. Just by listening to the words of the master, I can imagine how magnificent and majestic it must be." Wang Zixian's reaction was still very flat, "However, I have heard about 10 people. People would flock to the streets of Chang’an to watch the lanterns, bustling with people. It’s too crowded, and I don’t know whether to watch the lanterns or the people.

Mr. Song couldn't help laughing: "Your temperament, how can you look like a young man? A good day like the Lantern Festival is also a good time. If you don't go out for a walk, what will you do if you miss the little lady you like? Okay? It's just that you have high eyesight, and you can't wait for the little lady to look down on it, maybe you can still meet a lady from a high-ranking official family and have a good relationship?"

The more he talked, the more he felt that his disciple was not enlightened, and shook his head: "How can such a fate be missed? If you regret it in the future, don't blame the teacher for not reminding you! Accompanying an old man like the teacher to spend the Shangyuan, I am afraid that if it is spread You are ridiculed! Sigh, if the little prince can take you to a banquet...you don't have to worry if you can't be a teacher..." As a gentleman, he not only has to instruct his disciples in their studies, but also has to consider his marriage. , how busy?

When Li Hui was mentioned, Wang Zixian's expression moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Ah Hui is going to the palace for a banquet, how can I take me with him?" With a certain status and status, it is absolutely impossible to enter it.Only at this time can he realize more clearly that he is too far away from his best friend.Only by taking the imperial examination as soon as possible can we gradually approach it.

"Forget it, it's a good thing if you don't miss the glory, wealth and wealth." Mr. Song suddenly seemed to think about it, and said, "In this way, as a teacher, I can resign with peace of mind and take you out of Chang'an to travel around. Before that Although you have traveled before, your thoughts and thoughts are still superficial. If you want to truly understand the people's conditions and people's livelihood, you still have to travel thousands of miles, look carefully, and think seriously."

Wang Zixian couldn't help being startled: "Sir...want to resign?" He clearly knew in his heart that Mr. Song's move was not only to restore his freedom, but more importantly, to hone him, improve his knowledge, expand his horizons.Only with a broad vision and an understanding of people's conditions and livelihoods can policy and theory be made with flesh and blood and stand out among the flowers.However, after the surprise, what followed was a deep sense of reluctance.

Without thinking about it, he already knew very well that he was reluctant to leave Chang'an—just because he was reluctant to leave his best friend Li Hui.

"Since we have already accepted the disciples we like, what's the use of forcing ourselves to stay in the Imperial College?" Mr. Song said leisurely, "I should do whatever I want, and if I don't fit in the officialdom, I don't have to force them to stay." Then, he glanced at his disciples One glance: "Fortunately, the king of Xiaojun awakened me as a teacher. Otherwise, I would still be trapped in those red tapes and rules. The more I struggle, the deeper I get trapped. Although the king of Xiaojun is a golden branch and jade leaf, he is a person with a clear spirituality. "

"...Ah Hui also knows about this?" Wang Zixian's voice was somewhat deep, but he didn't seem to notice it.

"Of course, he also agrees that our master and apprentice go out to travel." Mr. Song said, and then squinted at his disciple, "You two are close friends and close friends, but it's just been three or two years apart, and the time to get together will be long in the future. Why bother? Act like a child! If someone who doesn’t know you thinks you’re a little girl who can’t bear to be happy, you’re worried that she’ll choose a husband and marry another one!! What are you thinking about so much? Cheer up your spirits as a teacher !!"

"..." Wang Zixian seemed to have never heard of it. After a long time, Fang whispered, "Sir, A Hui is my only... best friend. I am really very sad to leave him..." Just said "Leave" He already found the two words extremely difficult.After all, this trip is definitely not ten days and a half months, but a long thousand days.Not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns, how can he endure such a long separation?

Seeing that he was so devastated, Mr. Song couldn't help laughing: "Even if you don't give up, sooner or later you will start your own families! By then, how can it be possible to get together like this every day? When you return to Junzhou fiefdom, you will stay in Chang'an, how could you stay by your side all the time—but, even if you are separated by the ends of the earth, you are still close friends!! A life and death friendship is no better than a husband and wife, no matter how long the separation is, it will not affect you. Your mutual friendship!"

"..." Wang Zixian's heart twitched slightly, but he couldn't help thinking: Why is Mr. so sure?He couldn't imagine that after he left Chang'an, A Hui frequently met many strangers and had a close relationship with them.The more people he got acquainted with, the less thought and attention he had to give him.We haven't seen each other for many years, we have changed each other, but we don't know anything, how can we not become unfamiliar?At that time, will he still be the only true friend in A Hui's heart? !Is his position still unassailable? !

No, he is absolutely unwilling to accept, even the slightest possibility of losing his best friend! !

Seeing the change in the disciple's expression, how could Mr. Song not know that he was still on the tip of his horns and couldn't extricate himself no matter what?Considering his family background and experience, it is not difficult to understand why he values ​​his only true friend so much.Therefore, Mr. Song had no choice but to sigh: "Since you are so reluctant, let's give it up for now. Let's talk about this matter after you are able to leave. You should also think a little bit more for the little county king—if you can become an official as soon as possible , we can gather people to help him, it’s better than having almost nowhere to do anything now!”

Wang Zixian suddenly thought of Princess Anxing and Li Qianniang again, his eyes were cold: "Sir, you are right. However, some things must be carefully arranged so that this disciple can leave with peace of mind." At least one arm of Princess Anxing must be cut off, After removing Li Qianniang, and cultivating some available people, he can leave Chang'an temporarily with peace of mind.Otherwise, leaving Li Hui alone surrounded by wolves, he would worry about his safety all the time.

Obviously, at this moment, Wang Langjun never thought of His Royal Highness Sipu King, let alone other members of the royal family.

"It's so lively outside, but you and my master and apprentice are all talking about serious things..." Mr. Song looked at the direction of the West Market, where the night sky was almost white by the lights, "you can go shopping with Master Wei for a while. Let's go to the Lantern Market!" His disciple looked open-minded, but he was extremely persistent in certain things, maybe it was because his vision was not broad enough?Perhaps, if we join in the fun and make more friends, we can get better.

"Since the master is interested, then the disciple will follow his orders." The prince replied, and then ordered without haste.It's good to go to the Lantern Market, at least to be able to explain it carefully to A Hui who has never seen such a scene, so that he can follow suit.Not to mention, you can also bring him an interesting lamp as a gift.

At this time, the night had gotten a little darker, but the city of Chang'an was still buzzing with people, as if no one felt tired, and no one was willing to withdraw from the celebration.The banquet in the palace has also temporarily ended, and the officials and imperial orders left the palace city on horseback.Some were returning home in a hurry, while others went straight to the front of the imperial city to watch the lanterns.The most majestic lamp wheel, lamp tree and lamp tower stand just outside the south gate of the imperial city.There is also a group of pretty jesters playing and singing, dancing and dancing, or singing songs, which is enough to feast your eyes.

After playing with a group of clan children for several hours, Li Hui already felt a little tired.Seeing that Li Jing was busy discussing with them about where to go to watch the lanterns, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: he is no longer a young man, so he is not keen on these fun.They don't know where their energies come from, they seem to plan to travel all over the city of Chang'an without sleep for a few days.

Li Jing noticed that he was a little absent-minded, and asked: "Cousin, don't you want to visit the Lantern Market? There are new tricks every year, and there are many juggling performances, which are very interesting."

"You guys go." Li Hui shook his head, "I'm so sleepy that I want to fall asleep. Besides, I'm still a little worried about grandpa and grandma. It's time to send them back home."

"Nowadays the streets are crowded with people, and returning home is as difficult as wading through mountains and rivers. Why is it so?" Li Jing said, "It's better to let the third uncle and the third aunt live in the palace. Didn't the fifth aunt (Du Shi) arrange the palace? It must be everything That's right, you don't have to worry about it either. As for sleepiness—hehe, at our age, as long as we have fun, we won't feel sleepy anymore!"

Compared with them, Li Hui is of course more willing to travel with his good friend Wang Zixian, which is more leisurely and comfortable.It is inconvenient to explain such a reason clearly, so he could only say: "After you have discussed where to go, send someone to inform me. I will go find you after a short rest."

Li Jing couldn't force him, so he had to leave with regret.The rest of the clan's children didn't know him too well, so they smiled and rounded up a few words, and didn't make much fun.

After Li Hui watched them leave, he went to the palace seeker to inquire about Li Tai and Yan.Hearing that they had already rested in the palace, he thought about it for a while, and still planned to say hello.Halfway through the journey, they met the emperor's chariot.The sage leaning on the chariot smiled slightly and said, "Where is A Hui going? How about accompanying me back to the Temple of Manna to rest?"

The author has something to say: Mr. Song: Rebel, I want to resign as a teacher, and I will take you to travel around the world!Are you excited?

Wang Langjun: ==...

Mr. Song: (⊙o⊙) What expression do you have?

Wang Langjun: Disciple is reluctant to part with A Hui...

Mr. Song: What do you think you look like? !For someone who didn't know, I thought you were a little girl who couldn't bear to be happy, and worried that she would choose her husband to marry another!

Wang Langjun: ==...

Mr. Song: Friends and husband and wife are different, do you understand?Friendship never fades!

Wang Langjun: ==... (Impossible, any relationship will diminish if it is not maintained! Moreover, we must not tolerate any other friends around A Hui!!)

Mr. Song: _(:3」∠)_, I always feel that something is not right.

Today, the Emperor of Truth revealed the truth again~~
