"There are creeping grasses in the wild, and the dew is shining. There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. It is my wish to meet each other by chance."
In May of the fourth year of Chuping.
"Everyone is here, I think we should start!" Zhu Ao whispered to Fan Xian from the side.
"Okay." Fan Xian agreed readily and told Zhu Ao: "I wish you to go to the back room first. I will come to find you after entertaining these knights."
After saying that, he made a gesture to the old woman standing aside. After a while, a large group of musicians swarmed up and embraced Li Yi and others into the hall with a sweet voice. The seats had already been arranged in the hall, and there were gorgeous tables on them.
The brocade group, the close-knit banquet, the table with toothpaste lacquer plates, and every corner reveals wealth and extravagance.
Zhu Gongdao walked to the chief guest seat in a carefree manner. He fiddled with his loose clothes and sat down gracefully. Li Yi and Yan Qian were supposed to sit at the end, but Fan Xian deliberately sat down in order to show his closeness.
Let Li and Yi sit at the bottom of Zhu Gongdao.
Regardless of whether they were the host or the guest, each table was accompanied by two beautiful musicians. Before everyone could sit down and chat, a dissolute knight took their hands and caressed them wantonly, making fun of them. As the host, Mr. Fan
He was also hugging a concubine, and the others naturally imitated the same at the table. The audience was buzzing and couldn't calm down for a long time.
It was the first time for Li Yi and Yan Qian to come into contact with so many beauties and musicians, and they were a little at a loss, especially when a group of young girls lined up to go to the hall with food tables in their hands. After everyone toasted and started the banquet, all the knights showed their ugly faces and embraced the musicians.
The musician's slender waist caught the musician's bright wrist that was stretched out to pour the wine and kissed her. In an instant, the audience was filled with smiles, the cups and plates were in a mess, and there was no trace of chivalry at all.
"Your surname is Lang Jun? Are you also a knight?" A musician in green clothes beside Yan Qian asked diligently.
"My surname is Yan." Yan Gan looked at these knights who didn't care about their image and said contemptuously: "I'm not a knight, I'm just a scholar. I just read and grow melons on weekdays."
"Putting melon planting and reading together, it seems that Yan Jun is also a person with great ambitions." The musician smiled brightly, with two shallow dimples showing on her cheeks. She poured a glass of wine for Yan Qian and said with a smile.
: "My name is Guo Yu."
Yan Qian was surprised to see her good manners: "From your accent, you sound like someone from Guandong."
"Wei!" Guo Yu replied in a low voice, then lowered his head, with a sad look on his face.
Yan Qian didn't know how to touch the other person's sadness, so he asked gently: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, Mr. Yan, please don't disturb your drinking pleasure." Guo Yu had a complicated look in his eyes, frightened and aggrieved: "This matter is not worth making Mr. Yan sad."
She turned her head away, pretending to be so pitiful. Yan Gan was partly out of curiosity, partly out of chivalry, thinking that Guo Yu must be in trouble, and if possible, he might as well help her. So Yan Gan didn't
He kept encouraging Guo Yu and asked her to tell her the whole story.
Guo Yu couldn't stand it, so he had to speak reluctantly.
It turns out that Guo Yu's father Guo Yong was once the prefect of Nanjun, and his family was barely considered a powerful man in Jizhou. Later, due to the war, the family was destroyed and his brothers and sisters were separated. Guo Yu fled all the way to Shangdang, where he was treated as a musician and passed through many hands.
times until he lived in Fan Xian's home.
This is the tragic experience of Guo Yu. She should have lived in a boudoir like an ordinary daughter of a powerful noble family, unaware of the sorrows of the world, but now she is homeless and has become a trick for the guests to make fun of.
"My daughter's family's worries made the guests sad to hear about them. It's my fault." Guo Yu raised his eyes and saw Yan Qian's expression hesitant. He immediately took the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.
Only then did Yan Qian burst into laughter: "I didn't expect you have such a good drinking capacity."
Guo Yu smiled, pointed at the dimples on his cheeks, and replied with a smile: "Every guest who meets him for the first time will say this."
"What about your story? Do you tell every guest the same thing?" Yan Qian asked with a smile, holding the wine cup in his hand.
Guo Yu immediately put on his beautiful eyebrows, and inadvertently revealed a beauty-like frown, which deeply attracted Yan Qian: "There is no reason to spread this kind of thing everywhere, and they are not interested in asking about the affairs of their daughter's family.
There is only Yan Jun, a scholar..."
Yan Qian was a little distracted. He raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine cup, blurting out: "Since you said it, I have to find a way to help you."
"Really?" Guo Yu said immediately, then showed hesitation: "Yan Jun is a distinguished guest of the host's family, how can he do such a thing for me, a musician."
"If you didn't believe me, you wouldn't have told me so many things."
Guo Yu suddenly raised his head and met Yan Qian's piercing gaze, and his worldly heart suddenly palpitated.
It turned out that he had already seen through his trick.
Thinking like this, Guo Yu's frowned eyebrows slowly relaxed, as if he figured it out all at once: "Then Mr. Yan will have to drink enough of this wine before he can count his words."
"I'm a scholar, how can I coax you?" Yan Qian drank the wine quickly.
"Thank you, Mr. Yan." Guo Yu said with a smile.
Li Yi looked at her coldly for a long time, amazed in his heart. He didn't expect that Yan Qian, who usually looked so loyal, could get along so well with a strange woman.
He was secretly lamenting that he was alone and didn't know when a real man would get married and start a family. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a person walking up to Fan Xian in a hurry and saying a few words in his ear. Then Fan Xian
He followed the man out with a solemn expression.
Li Yi looked at Yan Qian and Guo Yu's inseparable state, sighed secretly, and decided to go out alone to see what happened.
He excused himself to go to the toilet and left, pretending to be drunk and running around, and followed Fan Xian to an exquisite house.
Fan Xian strode up to the main seat, followed by Wei Gu, Xu You, Zhu Ao and others.
"What did I say earlier? Du Ji, Yang Pei and those people came here with bad intentions. Not only did they want to take away our rights, but they also wanted to harm us." Fan Xian said with an unkind expression: "We should have been by the Yellow River at that time.
I pretended to be a water thief and killed him to avoid causing so much trouble like now!"
In less than a month after taking office, Jue Cao Yangpei and Hu Cao Liu Wan jointly launched an inventory of the farming villages, and uncovered several small families who had secretly occupied the fields and farming households, and planned to punish them with canonical punishment.
Establish prestige.
Fan Xian, the captain of Diannong School, had always been responsible for the farming affairs. Now, Yang Pei found out that he had misappropriated the farming households and fields. Although it was said that he was targeting those small families, in fact, Fan Xian was behind it.
Fan Xian felt that he had lost his face, and Gu Zi said angrily: "These two juniors dared to act recklessly in Hedong not long after they arrived. They simply didn't take us seriously and didn't show them how powerful they were. It really makes people feel...
I can’t wait to be deceived.”
Xu You frowned and asked: "There must be someone secretly instructing this matter. It is definitely not possible for people like Yang Pei to do it without permission. Where is Wang Yi?"
"These past few days, I have been patrolling the roads in various counties with the new postal supervisor and interviewing people's sentiments." Zhu Ao replied first. This time Yang Pei had obviously provoked Fan Xian. He took the opportunity to incite: "Since Wang Fujun is not here, the county will
It will be up to the Commander-in-Chief Weijun to take the decision. At this time, those families will be rescued from prison, and we will deal with them separately."
