Wan Shengqun, with stubble on his sideburns, a tall figure and a brocade suit, looks like a wealthy man at first glance. He is also a man who has a family and is busy with various affairs. He usually doesn't have the leisure to wander around in a place like this. However,
The most important thing is to accompany my future brother-in-law today.
Seeing his future brother-in-law standing there in silence for a long time, he broke the silence with a smile and said, "Jizhen, have you ever missed this place in the capital?"
Yin Jizhen sighed, "It seems that I have never thought of it. In my dreams, I often wander by this lake. When I wake up, I feel as if I have lost it, only to realize that it is difficult to return to my homeland."
Wan Shengqun nodded slightly, understanding that as a Beijing official, it is not easy to come back all the way. Even if you are transferred or something, you may not be able to return to Ningzhou. Most of the time, you can't help yourself.
Similarly, my sister married a chicken, followed a chicken, married a dog, followed a dog, and then went to Beijing after the marriage. It would be difficult for her to go home.
Yin Jizhen turned around and waved to continue shopping. He didn't want to go to the literary competition venue so early. There was no point in dealing with those admiring visitors. It was tiring to deal with them, so it was better to relax here.
The best situation is to go to the cultural gathering when it starts and leave immediately after it is over to avoid entanglement.
The two pushed aside the weeping willows and returned to the road, continuing their stroll.
Looking at the people in front of him, Wan Shengqun, who was walking with his hands behind his back, answered: "How many people have spent their entire lives trapped in the same place, unable to walk a hundred miles. Compared with the poor people, I am so lucky. Road,
Maybe the farther you go, the better. As long as you can establish a foothold, you are home wherever you are. How can you and I, as men, be as greedy for the scenery and have fun as the groups of women in front of us. Jizhen, if you want to pursue a country, don’t be homesick.
.Take Xiaofen to the capital, as long as you can find your own way, there will be good scenery everywhere."
Yin Jizhen replied calmly, "It's difficult to travel."
Wan Shengqun: "How come there are so many emotions? I am crazy about how many years older you are. Listen to me, don't stop, just keep moving forward."
Yin Jizhen: "You are now very knowledgeable and well-versed in human affairs. Brother Wan, with all due respect, I have always thought that you should not give up writing and go into business. If you persist, you will achieve a lot."
Wan Shengqun laughed and said, "I have to fight for the family property. I don't want to let so much money fall into the hands of others. I think money is the most real thing."
Yin Jizhen shook his head after hearing this.
The two walked slowly side by side to the highest point of the Blue Bridge, looking at the sparkling lake view.
"The green bridge is horizontal, and the two are vast..."
A woman's gentle voice murmured slowly as if she was feeling something. Another impatient woman's voice immediately interrupted, "Oh, you're here again. I really can't stand you. Can you speak normally?"
Yin Jizhen and Wan Shengqun, who were leaning against the railing with both hands on their hands and looking into the distance, all turned around to look. There was no woman at the sound, only the backs of three thin men wearing felt hats.
"You can't tell the difference between male and female." Wan Shengqun laughed.
Yin Jizhen, on the other hand, stared blankly at each other with the three men wearing felt hats behind him. The latter was none other than Yu Qing.
Can this happen? Both of them thought they had recognized the wrong person, and then they both saw the truth from the other's reaction. Yes, it was him.
Hearing the comment that "you can't tell the difference between male and female", the three men in felt hats knew that they had been seen through, and they all looked back.
These three people are naturally Wen Xin, Song Pingping and Xiao Hong.
Yin Jizhen had already raised his hand and pointed at Yu Qing with a surprised look on his face.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, Yu Qing shouted, "Brother Wang, why are you here?" He strode over and winked at Yin Jizhen repeatedly.
Brother Wang and Wen Xin were a little surprised. They didn't expect Yu Qing to meet an acquaintance here. The important point is that this acquaintance looks quite impressive, and even the colleagues around him don't look like ordinary people.
Brother Wang? Wan Shengqun looked stunned. He naturally knew that Yin Jizhen's surname was not Wang, but seeing the way Yin Jizhen raised his finger, he seemed to know him again.
Before Yu Qing could get closer, a guard quickly walked over and stood in front of him, raising his hand to signal him not to come near.
There were guards. Seeing this scene, Wen Xin and the others became more and more certain that the group on the other side was unusual.
"Uh..." After Yin Jizhen's expression became dull for a moment, he finally reacted. The person opposite didn't want to reveal his identity and immediately responded loudly: "Brother Lin, why are you here?" Then he quickly said to the guard: "Get out of the way.
are friends."
Upon hearing that they were friends, Wan Shengqun immediately waved his hand to the guards to get out of the way.
Brother Lin, Wen Xin and the other three were confused. Isn’t A Qing’s surname Niu?
Yin Jizhen and Yu Qing had their arms wrapped around each other and kept patting each other's arms. It was truly an endless feeling of emotion after seeing each other again after a long separation.
After that, Yu Qing directly reached out and hooked Yin Jizhen's shoulder, and took a step forward by putting his arm around him.
Although Yin Jizhen was not used to this kind of action, he was still very happy at this time, even overjoyed. He really didn't expect that he could meet this outstanding person.
"..." Wan Shengqun looked stunned. His future brother-in-law's reaction was rare. It seemed like he was not an ordinary acquaintance.
Not wanting anything to happen to his future brother-in-law, he glanced at Wen Xin and the others, who were indistinguishable from male to female, and waved his hand, asking the guards in front and behind to follow them.
Wen Xin and Xiao Hong looked at each other.
Song Pingping, however, kept patting her forehead lightly and muttering, "It seems like it's him, it seems like it's him..."
Xiaohong tried to ask: "Sister Pingping, what's wrong with you?"
Song Pingping turned her head and looked at Yin Jizhen's leaving figure, "I seem to have seen the man who was with A Qing, but I don't know if I remembered it wrong. How could A Qing know him? It's strange, it seems to be him."
Wen Xin was confused, "Who is it?"
Song Pingping: "Xin'er, do you still remember Yu Wenyuan's last provincial examination? After the results of the provincial examination came out, I wanted to take you to see what Yu Wenyuan looked like. You were too embarrassed and refused to go, so I went alone. You
do you remember?"
After being reminded like this, Wen Xin nodded, it was indeed such a thing and asked: "So what?"
Song Pingping pointed to the retreating figure, "At that time, the state government held a celebration banquet, and a group of nobles attended the banquet. I was watching from outside. He seemed to be the leader Jie Yuanlang."
"Ah!" Xiaohong was shocked, "Sister Pingping, have you remembered wrongly? How did Ah Qing know Xie Yuanlang, and they were so close to each other?"
Song Pingping wondered: "When we went to the banquet, that man was walking in the front, with all the stars holding the moon in his arms. He was very grand. Even Yu Wenyuan could only serve as a foil. It was difficult for me not to stare at him. It felt so long.
It’s really similar.”
Xiaohong reminded: "Sister Pingping, Xie Yuanlang, who is in the same class as Mr. Yuwen, is Yin Jizhen, who is second on the capital's gold medal list. How could Aqing know Yin Jizhen and still have such a good relationship?"
Song Pingping rubbed her chin and muttered, "Maybe I really remembered it wrong. It's been a long time and I can't tell clearly. But what happened to A Qing? He abandoned us and ran away. Doesn't he still act like a servant?"
That person was Yin Jizhen? Wen Xin, who was standing next to her, was biting her lip with silver teeth and a strange look in her eyes. She knew why A Qing knew Yin Jizhen, who was second in the list.
If she was still a little unsure before, now, she can be 100% sure that Ah Qing is the legendary Tanhualang who can get perfect marks in four subjects, and he is the most talented person in the world!
I recognized the words in the utility room correctly. They were the calligraphy of the Tanhua Lang!
The vast seas are flowing, and a hundred years have passed!
Oh my god, the "son of a century-old man" praised by Mr. Yu Wen actually actually kept a low profile and lurked in the Wen Mansion as a servant.
Even though she had made a judgment before, after she was confirmed now, she was still excited and suddenly said: "Let's go and have a look."
She took the lead and rushed to where Yu Qing was going. She had no intention of accompanying the other two women.
On one side of the bridge, there were still rows of weeping willows. Two old friends from the capital stood under the trees, smiling at each other and shaking their heads, both looking deeply moved.
Seeing Wan Shengqun and others following him, Yu Qing muttered a few words to Yin Jizhen.
Yin Jizhen nodded, then walked away quickly, and said to Wan Shengqun: "We met an old friend. We have some things to talk about in private. It's inappropriate to ask your people not to get too close."
"Yeah." Wan Shengqun agreed, but looking at Yu Qing's look, he couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Jizhen, in Ningzhou, there are probably no friends who are familiar enough with you that I don't know you, right?
Who is this man? He is so vulgar and rude to the imperial officials."
Yin Jizhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "He really won't take the court officials seriously, just not observing etiquette. Everything varies from person to person, don't worry about it." He waved his hand and left without saying who it was, not even the key person.
Let say.
Back under the willow tree, the two old friends who met again after a long separation looked at each other and smiled again.
Wen Xin, who was walking on the bridge, saw it, stopped and looked at it from a distance.
"Why did you become Brother Lin? I'll go ask A Qing what's going on." Xiao Hong snorted and went to find Yu Qing.
"Xiaohong." Wen Xin called to her, shook her head, and signaled not to go.
Song Pingping glanced at the situation over there and said, "There's no need to go there. There are guards over there in uniform, so you can't get close."
Under the weeping willow, after his emotions calmed down, Yin Jizhen looked up and down, "Brother Shiheng, the scene of you resigning and running out of the Yushitai is still fresh in my memory. The last time we were in Shangwan Mansion for disaster relief, you made quite a scene.
Ah, the court was disgraced, and there was no news from you after that. I didn’t expect to meet you here, and then you lived in seclusion in Ningzhou?”
Yu Qing: "That's right. I don't have an official position and I'm young. How are you doing? You're not still looking at the warehouse at the Yushitai, right?"
Yin Jizhen said with a smile: "I am second in the list anyway. Even if I am shown to the world's scholars, I will not be asked to guard the warehouse all the time. I am appreciated by Master Zhongcheng, and I can be considered as doing something serious. Speaking of which, Master Zhongcheng will occasionally mention it.
You, you have betrayed Lord Zhongcheng's kindness. When I see Lord Zhongcheng again, I will definitely mention my encounter with you."
Knowing what Brother Shiheng was like, he was not so reserved in his words.
Yu Qing shook his head, "Why are you mentioning me? Everyone in the world has passed. By the way, how is Lin Chengdao? Are you still looking at the warehouse?"
Yin Jizhen laughed, "I guess I took advantage of you and was later transferred to the Ministry of Rites."
Yu Qing was suspicious, "What does his going to the Ministry of Rites have to do with me?"
Yin Jizhen: "Xiyuefang, you should be familiar with it, right? Your words of 'the world is good' make it difficult to find a seat in Xiyuefang. Knowing that it is easier for him to book a seat in Xiyuefang, the Ministry of Rites hired him
If you ask for it, it will come in handy for entertaining foreign guests and so on. He is now in charge of this aspect. As you know in Yushitai, you should discipline others first and discipline yourself first, so his relationship will not work in Yushitai."
