Lin Yanchao, Chen Xinggui and Huang Biyou squatted in a Zen room for a night.↑,

When I woke up the next day, Chen Xinggui and Huang Biyou both talked to Lin Yanchao with relish and talked about the dreams I had last night.

Chen Xinggui said first: "I dreamed of a man wearing a straw raincoat fishing by the river last night."

Chen Xinggui was just halfway through his words, and Huang Biyou clapped his hands and said, "Agency fisherman must be Jiang Shang! He wants to tell you that the way to fame and fortune is better than to seek in the song."

Chen Xinggui said angrily: "Can you let me finish your words?"

Huang Biyou laughed and said with a grudge: "Maybe I was wrong? It's neither Jiang Taigong nor Yan Ziling. Look at the fisherman's white hair or black hair, Jiang Taigong, and Yan Ziling's black hair. Okay, Brother Chen, you say, I won't say it."

Chen Xinggui said disdainfully: "I didn't know that I had white and black hair. I only remember that old man I dreamed of twice in one night!"

"It actually happened twice!" Lin Yanchao and Huang Biyou were both surprised.

Chen Xinggui recalled: "Once it was night. When the fisherman saw me, he took out a fishing rod and gave it to me. I thought he would say that it would be better to teach him how to fish than to teach him. But he said, "You will definitely take the provincial examination next year!"

Huang Biyou said in surprise: "This is so good, you must win the provincial examination, which means that you will win the county examination this year!"

Lin Yanchao also clasped his fists and said, "Brother Chen, congratulations! This is Ji Meng!"

Chen Xinggui smiled and waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

Huang Biyou asked anxiously: "Yes, what did the fisherman say to you in the night?"

"At the next night, I dreamed of the fisherman again, but the fisherman immediately reached out and shouted at me and returned the fishing rod to me. I'm telling you the preface!"

After Chen Xinggui finished speaking, Lin Yanchao and Huang Biyou both laughed loudly. Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you should hold the fishing rod and say the opposite. You play with me, your dream is true!"

Then the two asked Huang Biyou what dream he had last night.

Huang Biyou was stunned for a while and said, "My dream is strange. I dreamed that one day, I was wearing a green shirt and long robe, round neck and straight sleeves, with a student's sword on my waist. I rode a big blue and white mule..."

"Brother Huang, please tell me the key points!" Lin Yanchao immediately interrupted.

Huang Biyou nodded and said, "I'm not going to say that I was walking on a small road, with no big trees on both sides of the road, so I walked for a long time. But I saw a very strange scene at the end of the road, which made me puzzled."

"Biyou, do you know that you have been talking nonsense so far? Tell me what you saw directly?" Chen Xinggui couldn't help it.

Huang Biyou said, "You know what I'm looking at. I saw two locust trees sandwich an old well at the end of the road! Do you think this is weird or not!"

Lin Yanchao and Chen Xinggui both looked at each other, and then said in unison: "It's not strange at all!"

Huang Biyou said: "No. You don't know. This dream must have any meaning, indicating how I pass the test!"

What did Lin Yanchao and Chen Xinggui say? Huang Biyou didn’t believe it either. At that moment, the two asked Lin Yanchao, “You slept in the Zen room all night last night, but did you have any dreams?

Lin Yanchao glanced at the two of them and said, "Two, you snored all night last night, one in the first and the other in the second half of the night, one in the second. Do you think I might have a good dream?"

Huang Biyou and Chen Xinggui looked embarrassed when they heard this.

Chen Xinggui said, "Brother Lin. I kindly dragged you here. I didn't expect that when I encountered this, I wouldn't sleep all night. You should really wake us up."

Lin Yanchao spread his hands and said, "Wake up, you can't dream anymore. Besides, when you encounter this, you must either bear it or get out of it, but you can't be cruel!"

Chen Xinggui and Huang Biyou were moved when they heard this and said, "Brother Lin is such a kind person!"

Lin Yanchao said intimately, I can say that this is the experience I have summarized in my dormitory life back then.

After the three of them stayed in the temple for one night, they took the Chen family's carriage and went back to the city and went straight to Nanyuan. Today, Chen Xinggui's cousin Chen Zhenlong asked the scholars to visit the garden. Lin Yanchao had heard that this Nanyuan is a famous garden spot in the provincial capital.

After hearing what Chen Xinggui said, Lin Yanchao also wanted to see him and have acquaintance with his peers at the same time.

The carriage left the south gate of the provincial capital, which was the tea pavilion.

There was a monk who set up a pavilion here because of the heat of summer, so his later generations named it the Tea Pavilion.

This is the only way to the south gate of the provincial capital. From the south gate to Jixiang Mountain, the street is the main road to and from the city. Anyone who takes office, takes the exam, passes and passers-by must go through this to enter and exit the city. Lin Yanchao looked outside the curtain of the car, and the prosperity of this street was even more than that of Hongtang Market.

However, Lin Yanchao just took a look from a distance, and the carriage immediately carried them across the Xima Bridge. It is said that this place was where officials washed their horses before entering the city. The Nanyuan built in Xima Bridge was an industry purchased by Chen Jin, the top scholar in Changle County, Fuzhou Prefecture, 32nd year of Jiajing.

The Nanyuan is built along the river, winding around the corner, and looks like lush trees and countless pavilions.

The top scholar Chen Jin had already passed away. The guards demanded wages and plundered officials from the city and Taiwan, which also disturbed Chen Jin's mansion. At that time, Chen Jin stayed at home and went out to persuade him. Because of his rebelliousness and lack of majesty, he was injured by the rioters in the chaos and died of illness for a month. The top scholar died at the hands of the soldiers. This incident caused a great sensation at the time. Wang Daokun, the governor of Fujian Province, was impeached by the censors.

After Chen Jin passed away, only one son, Chen Yiyu. Chen Yiyu was young and could not keep such a big property and was about to sell it. His fellow villager Chen Zhenlong was willing to buy the garden.

Chen Zhenlong was not only willing to buy this Nanyuan, but also willing to continue to lend it to Chen Yiyu's family to live.

Currently, Chen Yiyu, the son of the top scholar, is welcoming guests in front of the garden.

When he saw Chen Xinggui arrive, he smiled and said, "Isn't this brother Xinggui?"

Chen Yiyu was the second in Changle County exam last year, but the mansion exam failed. He studied at home for two years this year, and he consciously made great progress in writing and also participated in the mansion exam. In order to thank Chen Zhenlong, Chen Yiyu continued his story and called him brothers. Chen Xinggui, as Chen Zhenlong's cousin, also called him his brother.

Chen Xinggui smiled and said, "Brother Yiyu, I will introduce you to you. These two are friends who participated in this palace examination with me."

Lin Yanchao, Huang Biyou and Chen Yiyu met with the names. Chen Xinggui smiled and said, "Brother Yiyu, I'm welcome to us today. I wonder if there is anything fun?"

Chen Yiyu smiled and said, "Of course there is, but you don't hurry to raft the garden first. There will be a poem meeting chief minister, and Dong Xiaoshuang will come to see the style of our mansion. You have to pay me a lot of money. After the poem meeting, you will watch Kunqu Opera and play chess with you."

Shi Changjun? Dong Xiaoshuang?

Chen Xinggui couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Chen is really amazing. Even Shi Changjun, a famous female school book in the provincial capital, has been invited. Today is a great time."

As they said that, everyone walked into the garden, but saw the well-ruled servants leading them through the long water-side corridor.

The scenery on the Linshui corridor is very good. There is a pool of blue bells under your feet. There are carved beams and painted buildings in front of you. But halfway through, the servant who led the way lowered his head and said, "The uncle is here!"

Lin Yanchao turned his head and saw a man wearing a Confucian robe strode towards him, and there were more than a dozen literati wearing two-winged hats and folding fans surrounded by him.

The elegant man came to Chen Xinggui and laughed loudly, "You are here."

Lin Yanchao remembered that Chen Xinggui was at ease when he met anyone in the past, but when he saw this person, he said respectfully: "Brother, how dare I absent from you?"

Lin Yanchao suddenly realized that this person was Chen Xinggui's cousin Chen Zhenlong.

Chen Zhenlong smiled, turned around and said to the literati behind him, "The scenery here is very good. You each write a poem that pleases your emotions and nature. If you write it well, choose a poem that will be ordered by the painter to carry it on the corridor."

It turned out that those literati were the legendary Qingke Gugongs, and Lin Yanchao had a little bit of their goal at the beginning.

But after hearing Chen Zhenlong's words, these Qinggu said timidly: "Where can we have good poems? Nowadays, the men are here, and they dare not show their ugly words. This poem is to invite a few men to come and mention it."

Chen Zhenlong smiled and said, "I'm going to give you a waste. It's okay, so please ask the guests to write a poem."

Huang Biyou was willing to show off and mentioned it first.

Chen Xinggui also smiled and mentioned a poem.

Lin Yanchao thought for a long time and wrote a poem. He thought for the longest time, but his poem was mediocre.

When Chen Zhenlong saw Lin Yanchao's poem, he shook his head and thought to himself, these two people's poems are mediocre, why do I call them brothers? However, the Qing Gu's guest on the side praised him for a while, and praised Chen Xinggui's poems as literary talent.

Lin Yanchao read Chen Xinggui's poems and immediately realized that to be a good guest, one must first learn to flatter!

After leaving on both sides, Chen Xinggui couldn't help but say to Lin Yanchao: "Brother Lin, you don't know the origin of my eldest brother. The richest man in the entire provincial capital is not among the five fingers. Why don't you seize the opportunity!"

Lin Yanchao suddenly realized that Chen Xinggui wanted to recommend him to Chen Zhenlong. Lin Yanchao said, "Brother Chen misunderstood. I am really not good at poetry."

Chen Xinggui clapped his legs and said, "I forgot this. Brother Lin's strengths lie in the classics, but now scholars have to recite poems and sing together when they are in friendship. Brother Lin can't write a essay in the classroom, which will attract attention!"

Lin Yanchao said, "I can't do anything about this, let alone I don't like chanting poems and singing. Why don't you say hello to us, I won't go to this poem meeting and let me go boating alone in the garden."

Chen Xinggui hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, don't do this. Brother, I want you to come here to fulfill your friendship as a landlord. Come with me, Shi Changjun and Dong Xiaoshuang are all wonderful people! There is also the palace trial coming soon. Do you even want to see the heroes of each county?"
