Zhou Tong secretly asked Lin Hu about Zhao Yan's identity, but Lin Hu smiled and said, "It is not convenient to introduce our yamen now, but my brother will give Brother Zhou a briefing here. Our yamen surname is Zhao!"

"Zhao!" Zhou Tong widened his eyes in surprise when he heard this. Most of the people named Zhao in the capital were royal families, and with the demeanor shown by Zhao Yan, he was definitely an important figure in the royal family. Although the royal family of the Song Dynasty was not as powerful as in the Han and Tang dynasties, it was not comparable to ordinary people. Even as long as he performed well in the future, it was not impossible to be recommended to serve in the army in the future. Thinking of this, Zhou Tong was even happier. He entered Beijing this time to seek a background in the imperial guards, and now he finally had a way out.

Zhao Yan, who was walking in front, did not pay attention to the surprise expression on Zhou Tong's face behind him. He walked downstairs quickly. As soon as he left the restaurant, he happened to see a group of women coming from the opposite side of the building, including girls and young women, and most of them looked good. After all, aristocratic women have been strictly educated since childhood, and dressing up is also one of the compulsory courses. Therefore, as long as they are not too ugly, they usually look bad when they are dressed up. Of course, there are also very few who don't look very good. After all, aristocrats are also human beings. As long as they are human beings, they will definitely be beautiful and ugly.

Soon Zhao Yan saw Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang and the others walking out side by side. The other Ouyang Wanling, who made Zhao Yan feel guilty every time he saw him, was also there. Several women were talking and laughing, looking very happy.

At that moment, Zhao Yan walked up to greet him with a smile. In fact, there are quite a few noble men like him who come to pick up people. Most of them are the father and brother of these noble girls. Of course, the young women naturally have their husbands to greet him. Zhao Yan, a husband and younger brother, is not very conspicuous in the crowd.

When Ouyang Wanling saw Zhao Yan coming, she smiled and said to Cao Ying: "Sister Ying'er is such a blessing. Can you have such a caring husband as the prince!"

Hearing Ouyang Wanling's words, Cao Ying also showed a happy smile on his face, but then she thought of Ouyang Wanling's words and hurriedly said: "My husband did a lot of wrong things before, but now he has finally regretted reforming himself. Sister Wanling will definitely find her wish-honored husband in the future!"

"Hehe~. Sister Ying'er doesn't need to comfort me. Actually, I have already figured out that it is not very important for me to get married. At worst, I can build a Taoist temple in the future and then become a monk to practice Taoism. I heard that the old god Cao has returned and lives in the prince's courtyard. If I have time in the future, my sister wants to ask for advice. It would be even better if I can get the guidance of the old god." Ouyang Wanling said openly. Her words are indeed sincere. She has completely opened up about marriage, and she has even planned her life in the future.

"Sister Wanling said it well. Sister Wanling doesn't want to get married. In the future, let's be the right Taoist nun together and then worship the old god Cao as his teacher?" When Princess Shoukang heard Ouyang Wanling's words, her eyes lit up and said. She suddenly felt that it was a good idea to become a Taoist nun in the future. Anyway, there were many princesses in the Tang Dynasty who became monks and practiced, so she could do it naturally.

When Princess Bao'an heard her sister making trouble, she immediately scolded Princess Shoukang, and like Cao Ying, she first apologized to Ouyang Wanling, and then comforted her that she would definitely find her husband Ruyi in the future. However, Ouyang Wanling smiled and said nothing about Princess Bao'an's words.

Next, Cao Ying and the others bid farewell to Ouyang Wanling, and then met with Zhao Yan who had just approached. However, Zhao Yan did not hear the conversation between Ouyang Wanling and Cao Ying and the others, otherwise he would feel even more guilty. Ouyang Wanling is different from Zhao Yingning. Zhao Yingning can't get married just because she is fat, but Ouyang Wanling's reputation was ruined by him. This is much more serious than fat. Although Zhao Yan wanted to help the other party, he could not think of any feasible solution.

Originally, Zhao Yan thought that Cao Ying and the others would go back to rest after attending a party, but he obviously underestimated the endurance of these women. Cao Ying and Ouyang Wanling and the others had already discussed before coming out. Several people wanted to enjoy the lanterns for a while. This made Zhao Yan sigh and had to drag his tired body to follow.

Because Ouyang Wanling and other girls were there, Zhao Yan could only follow him. Xue Ning'er also didn't want to get together with those noble girls, so she walked behind with Zhao Yan. Seeing Cao Ying and his group of women moving from the end of the Yu Street to the Yu Street, and even sold a lot of snacks under Aoshan to eat and play. It seemed that these women were not going back tonight.

Since Cao Ying and the others came out, Xue Ning'er seemed to have become very quiet. She no longer liked to talk to Zhao Yan as before, but just walked quietly beside him. Seeing this, Zhao Yan suddenly felt that Xue Ning'er was a little pitiful, so she took the initiative to speak: "Xue Xingshou, how did you celebrate the Lantern Festival in previous years?"

When he heard Zhao Yan's question, Xue Ning'er smiled and said, "The little girl is like duckweed. Others can have fun during festivals, but for women like me, every festival is the busiest time. They are not only playing the piano or singing music, and they hurry up and make money for their mothers."

When he talked about this, Xue Ning'er suddenly showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile, and then said: "It was said that during the Lantern Festival in the past few years, it was only a little leisurely year ago. At that time, a group of leisurely scholars invited me to come. After playing a song, they began to listen to them talking about poetry and songs. At that time, I was in a good mood and randomly wrote a few small lyrics. As a result, these people were shocked. Since then, my talent and reputation have quickly spread throughout the capital, and no one has ever said that my literary talent is not as good as Yan Yuru."

"Haha, Xue Xingshou's talent is naturally not inferior to anyone. If he hadn't been helping the Prime Minister, I'm afraid I would have to forcefully cross the bridge, and it would be even more impossible for people like Wang Shu to learn a lesson." When Zhao Yan heard this, he smiled and mentioned the scene when he first met Xue Ning'er.

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Xue Ning'er also showed a look of nostalgia on her face, but then she said with some anger: "The prince knows to bully me. With the prince's talent, how can she still need the help of a little girl? For example, the poem about plum blossoms written by the prince when she painted the portrait of my family last time was not something that ordinary people could write. The prince's talent did not need the help of a little girl at the beginning? I guess you would still laugh at the little girl for being ignorant in your heart, and show off your skills in front of everyone's poetry?"

"Uh? This..." Zhao Yan didn't expect that Xue Ning'er mentioned the poem he had accidentally recited last time, and misunderstood what kind of literary talent he had. This made him smile helplessly. It seemed that Cao Ying was right at the beginning. He shouldn't have written poems casually, such as causing such a thing today.

"Don't blame Xue Xingshou for saying that poem about plum blossoms is not written by me, but I heard it from other places!" In order to avoid such misunderstandings again, Zhao Yan decided to tell the truth. Anyway, he is not a scholar who makes a living by poetry, so it doesn't matter whether he has such a talent or not.

"Oh, is that?" Xue Ning'er looked at Zhao Yan's words with some suspicion, but the expression in her eyes seemed to believe Zhao Yan's words very much.

"What are your husband and Xue Xingshou talking about? Why are you so lively?" At this moment, Cao Ying, who was walking in front of him, stopped at some point. He looked at Zhao Yan and Xue Ning'er and asked with a smile, just looking at her, it seemed that there was another meaning in her smile.

"You are the princess. I was discussing the poem about the plum blossoms before the prince, but the prince said that his poem was actually heard from other places." At this time, Xue Ning'er smiled and said. She had actually seen that Cao Ying didn't like to get close to Zhao Yan very much, so whenever Cao Ying was there, she would deliberately keep a distance from Zhao Yan. However, the situation today was special, so she said a few more words to Zhao Yan.

When Cao Ying heard that it was Zhao Yan copying the poem again, he couldn't help but glared at Zhao Yan in anger and said deliberately: "Xue Xingshou should not listen to his husband's words. His writing skills are not inferior, so Su Zizhan and others. Today is the Lantern Festival. Why not let your husband use the festival as the theme and make another masterpiece?"

Cao Ying was also angry that Zhao Yan did not listen to his advice and always liked to show off his poems that he got from somewhere. Especially the poem about plum blossoms he wrote last time when he painted Xue Ning'er, which made her feel very jealous. So today when Xue Ning'er mentioned this incident again, Cao Ying felt sad again. Then he deliberately said that Zhao Yan would write poems. If Zhao Yan couldn't write them, he would also remember the lesson he had learned today.

"Hey, does the prince want to write poetry? That's great. I only know that the prince is very proficient in painting, but I didn't expect to write poetry!" As soon as Cao Ying finished speaking, he heard a girl happily say. Zhao Yan and the others turned their heads and saw that it was the big-eyed girl with Ouyang Wanling. Zhao Yan had promised to paint her before.

Originally, Zhao Yan, Cao Ying, Xue Ning'er and others were behind everyone in front, so there was no need to worry about the people in front of them hearing their conversation. But now, the big-eyed girl stopped at some point, and just heard Cao Ying's words, so she shouted loudly, attracting the attention of Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang in front of her, especially Ouyang Wanling, staring at Zhao Yan with curiosity. Last time, Zhao Yan made a big splash with paintings, she is now looking forward to Zhao Yan's performance in literary talent.

Cao Ying didn't expect that his angry words would attract Princess Bao'an and the others, especially outsiders such as Ouyang Wanling. If Zhao Yan couldn't write them out, he would definitely be a little embarrassed. But if he did, and it was as classic as the previous poems, it would probably spread throughout the capital again soon. At that time, Zhao Yan's reputation for poetry and talent can't be shaken off.

In contrast, Zhao Yan is also worried about this problem. Should I do it or not? This is a question? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
