But Bai Shan still insisted and asked: "Why do you want so much money?"
Zhao Liulang then chuckled and said, "It doesn't hurt to tell you that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, ten actors from the south of the Yangtze River will come to Beijing to perform. I want to meet them."
Bai Erlang was shocked: "You are a prostitute!"
Zhao Liulang covered his mouth and said: "Shut up, is that called prostitution? What I call appreciation, and the Jiangnan Ten Dings are here to perform, do you know that they are not prostitutes?"
Bai Shan: "...Isn't this too expensive? One thousand taels for a meeting?"
Zhao Liulang glanced at him and said: "What are you thinking? It's not just a thousand taels. I just wanted to be more prepared and be prepared. And if you like it, don't you give some gold and silver jewelry to others?"
Bai Shan said: "Brother Zhao, you have a wife."
"It's okay, I'll take her with me later."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang:......
Zhao Liulang whispered: "Do you agree or not? It doesn't look good to stand on this step all the time."
Bai Shan calculated in his mind, and then said: "It's not difficult for us to put together a thousand taels, but Brother Zhao, you have to think clearly, this is a million dollars."
I didn't think that one thousand taels was much, but Zhao Liulang, who really didn't have the money, felt a little distressed when he heard that Bai Shan had converted it into money.
But it was only for a moment, and it was like an ant bite. He waved his hand generously and said: "It's only half the price of my father's horse."
When Bai Shan heard how heroic he was, he nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to write me an IOU. I don't want your interest, but you have to promise to pay me back within two years."
Zhao Liulang nodded with a smile and said: "Simple, simple."
So the three of them walked downstairs, arms around each other and smiling.
Bai Dalang got a jug of Zhuangyuanhong, and the waiter brought it to him. He was planning to pour wine for some of his close friends and classmates to have a good time, when he picked up the jug and saw his silly brother coming down from upstairs happily.
Then he asked for a drink.
"Brother, let's go up to the third floor and drink."
Zhao Liulang also said with a smile: "Brother Zhengjian, this jug of wine is also due to us. If it weren't for our instigation, you would not have written the poem, so you will get a drink from us."
Bai Dalang smiled and asked the waiter to bring them new wine glasses and pour them wine.
Zhao Liulang stopped him, "It's boring to drink down here. Let's go up and drink. How many juniors can we drink together?"
If everyone thinks about it carefully, although Zhao Liulang is now a classmate of Bai Shan and Baicheng, he entered the Imperial College earlier than them, so he is really their senior classmate.
So everyone agreed and went up to the third floor together with Bai Dalang.
Naturally, many people noticed what was going on here. When they went up to the second floor, they met many students from Guozixue. Everyone simply said hello and went straight to the third floor.
When they disappeared, someone lowered their voices and started talking in low voices, "Bai Zhengjian? I haven't heard of it before, but the people who came down from the third floor just now are Uncle Zhao Xiaoguo and the other seems to be Bai Shan."
"Bai Shan? Bai Shan from Longzhou?"
"Yes, Bai Shan, who sued the King of Yizhou to avenge his father, is now the prince's companion. I saw his papers and articles in Guozixue in the bookstore last time. There are some.
Character."
"That's it. I heard that his family went to Mianzhou a long time ago to join an uncle. This person should be his eldest cousin. Doesn't he also have a junior brother named Bai Cheng? I guess he is the eldest brother just now."
"The poem Bai Zhengjian wrote just now is not bad either."
"Three brothers from one school is a good story."
"I wonder what his name is?"
Someone who knew it interjected: "It's a single name with a straight character."
Someone thought for a while and said: "You will be able to correct your mistakes if you see it. It is a correct view. Although the person who named him simply took the word from "Shuowen", it was a good wish. I don't know what kind of person he is.
.”
Wei Chen, who was sitting next to him, couldn't hold it back anymore and interrupted: "A person lives up to his name."
People at the nearby tables couldn't help but look over and saw that the people at the same table with him were all young men of eighteen or nineteen years old, all dressed as scholars, so they clasped their fists and asked with a smile: "Where do you study, brother?"
Wei Chen said somewhat reservedly: "I'm just studying in the Imperial College."
He glanced at a few friends and said with a smile: "We are all from the Imperial College."
Everyone was pleasantly surprised. Although they knew that there were many students from the Imperial College in the Zhuangyuan Building, they did not expect that they actually struck up a conversation with each other, so they happily chatted with him.
Wei Chen talks a lot. He is not familiar with Bai Zhi, but he is familiar with Bai Cheng and Bai Shan, and since he is a friend's brother, it is always right to praise the good side.
So he praised Bai Zhi as having outstanding literary talent, being filial to friends, being upright and kind, and all the good words he could use were thrown at him.
Not to mention Ji Hao, even Wei Ting and others were extremely embarrassed. After he exchanged names and posts with the person, he found an excuse to drag the person to the backyard hut, "Don't praise people so exaggeratedly."
Well, haven’t you just met Bai Zhi once?”
"People flock together, and if Bai Zhi and Bai Shanzhou are in their company, how can they be bad people?"
Wei Ting: "...why didn't you go up and say hello to them just now?"
Wei Chen waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Didn't you see that they are busy? They are still with uncle Xiao Guo. It would be a bad idea for us to go up at this time. Let's go visit them later when we are free."
Wei Ting: "...Ji Hao said that since they entered the palace, they rarely interact with their classmates from the Imperial College, let alone us classmates from the Imperial College."
"That's because Ji Hao doesn't have a good relationship with them, but I have a very good relationship with them," he said: "And they are not people who hate the poor and love the rich. Could it be that they will not recognize their old friends because they have become rich?
You think too much."
Wei Ting couldn't resist him, so he could only say: "Okay, let's go to the toilet first."
Wei Chen held his breath and felt it for a moment, then turned around and said: "Forget it, I'll go back and drink two more cups of tea before coming back. This latrine smells so bad, it's a loss to go in now."
Wei Ting:......
He was so angry that he was speechless.
Bai Shan and the others gathered Bai Dalang and his three classmates up to the third floor. Everyone happily drank two glasses of wine and sat down to talk about poems and articles. They stayed there until the sun set and the sky gradually darkened.
, and then everyone crowded in the eight windows and watched the lanterns slowly lighting up Chang'an Avenue.
The lamp doors and lamp holders at the entrance to the inner city lit up little by little, and a phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly appeared in the dim night sky. Manbao followed the crowd and let out a "Wow" in amazement.
I feel that the moment when the lights are turned on in Chang'an is more shocking than the one in Yongzhou City.
Man Bao looked at the fire phoenix in the air with bright eyes, pointed out: "Look, its two eyes are red, and the rest are all yellow and other colors!"
Bai Shan nodded repeatedly, "Not only are they similar in appearance, they are also similar in spirit."
Even Zhao Liulang sighed: "The work done by the Ministry of Industry is much better than last year."
