The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 614 The Scholar
Xuan Shijing talked with him earlier, from the words of this scholar, it is not difficult to find his character, he is probably a person who is a dead reader, although the pair at the door of the elegant room is not difficult, but the second line of this scholar is indeed right. It is quite different from the temperament of this scholar, so Xuan Shijing is very skeptical about whether this couplet is made by this scholar.

"This couple is so tactful, and there is a hint of resentment between the lines. This couplet must be a woman." Jin Yang asked after thinking about the couplet at the door.

"Your Highness has good eyesight. I heard from Shopkeeper Qian that this pair was handmade by Miss Qin Bingyue from Yanlai Tower. It is hung at the door of this private room, and it is also a compliment to all the talented people who come and go." The boy replied. road.

The so-called lottery is Qin Bingyue. If you match this pair of couplets, let’s talk about it, a certain talent will have a good face if he matches Miss Qin’s pair. The reputation will definitely be higher than before, so it is also for this reason that the review of the couple at the entrance of this private room is much stricter than the other two rooms.

Xuan Shijing looked at the scholar and said with a smile: "Young master is a talented person, but I didn't expect his literary talent to be so outstanding. Now that we have met, this private room will naturally belong to you."

The scholar cupped his hands at Xuan Shijing, then turned his gaze to Jinyang, and said: "I have heard that, among the private rooms on the third floor of Xuanwu Building, this Xuanwu Pavilion is the most elegant. I don't know if I am lucky today." , please ask Her Royal Highness to enjoy the scenery of Xuanwu Lake together?"

Jin Yang was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect the scholar to send an invitation to her, and subconsciously looked at Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing squinted his eyes at the scholar, then looked at Jinyang, saw Jinyang's eyes fell on him, and then smiled: "No, the princess and I mainly look at the scenery of Xuanwu Lake, so naturally we will go to the fifth floor , don’t bother the young master to worry about it.”

View from the third floor?Hehe, there is a fifth floor where you can enjoy the scenery of Xuanwu Lake, why should you settle for the second best?

The scholar was slightly taken aback when he heard Xuan Shijing's words, the fifth floor?Who doesn't know that outsiders are not allowed to enter the fourth and fifth floors of Xuanwu, even the dignitaries of Chang'an City are no exception.
At this time, the man in brocade clothes who was standing beside him sneered and said, "Stupid, who do you think is standing in front of you? The Marquis of Dongshan, don't go out to inquire. This Xuanwu Tower is the territory of the Marquis of Dongshan."

Hearing the explanation from the brocade-clothed man, the scholar finally understood in his heart, and at the same time felt a little embarrassed, the Xuanwu Tower turned out to be the property of the Marquis.

"Since you know that this is the property of Benhou's mansion, you dare to make trouble here. You three seem to have no intention of giving Benhou face at all." Xuan Shijing looked at the three men with great interest.

Jin Yang also looked at the three men in fine clothes, frowning slightly. These three seemed to have met somewhere.

The three men shrank their heads when they saw Jinyang's eyes on themselves and the others, and dared not respond. Although Jinyang might not know them, they knew Jinyang. Father, all are subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace, they also went to the Eastern Palace with their father, participated in the banquet held by Li Chengqian in the Eastern Palace, and met Princess Jinyang once during the period.

The girl in front of her is none other than Princess Jinyang, whom His Majesty loves the most, and she must not be offended.

Princess Jinyang has a good relationship with Xuan Shijing, which is well known in the government and the public. After all, there was a lot of trouble when Princess Jinyang met an assassin in Xuanwu Lake.

"Forget it, Brother Jing." Jin Yang pulled Xuan Shijing's sleeve to beg for the three of them. Since the three looked familiar, they must be the sons of some ministers in the court. It's not a big deal, it's better to muddle along like this.

"Since Your Highness is pleading for you, Ben Hou will not pursue the matter, and the young masters are not acquainted with each other. According to Ben Hou, it is better to sit down together, drink and chat, and this meal will be handled by Ben Hou." It's my job." Xuan Shijing said out loud.

As far as the scholar is concerned, although the right to use the private room belongs to him, it does not include the money for food and drinks. Seeing how poor the scholar is, Xuan Shijing is happy to give him a favor.

However, Xuan Shijing was still somewhat curious about this scholar, or rather, he was somewhat curious about the person who matched Qin Bingyue.

"In this case, the student thanked Lord Hou." The scholar bowed his hands to Xuan Shijing to thank him, but there was still a bit of arrogance in his tone and attitude.

The scholar's demeanor and tone naturally fell into Jin Yang's eyes, but Jin Yang was very upset about it. Brother Jing helped the scholar out of the siege, but the scholar had no intention of sincerely thanking him at all, which was too much .

"I don't know if Lord Hou is interested, why don't you stay and sit for a while?" The scholar changed his words and invited Xuan Shijing to sit down with him.

Xuan Shijing smiled: "Okay, I just have nothing to do."

Anyone present with a discerning eye could see that this scholar was planning to climb Xuan Shijing or Jinyang. If the three young people next to him had just disdained this scholar before, by this time, they would have looked down upon him somewhat. .

After entering the private room, Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang took their seats first, and then the servants from the Xuanwu Tower went down to order the banquet.

Because Xuan Shijing was also at the banquet, the banquet was well organized, and various features of Xuanwu Tower were presented one after another.

"You've got everything by following Brother Jing." Jin Yang looked at the dishes on a table, and said to Xuan Shijing with a smile on his face.

"Si, you know how to joke. The cooks in the palace are no worse than those in the Xuanwu Tower. Besides, if you want, you can come to the Xuanwu Tower at any time. If you want to eat, ask the people below to give it to you. Just sit down." For Jinyang, Xuan Shijing has always been very generous.

"Then if I want to eat in the palace, what will Brother Jing do?" Jin Yang looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into a pair of crescent moons, very pretty.

"Send someone to send a message to send you into the palace, but you have to leave the token on your body, otherwise, when the food arrives at the gate of the palace, the guards have to stop you." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Just as Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang were talking, the dishes on the table were already served, and the drinks on the table were also the best in the whole Xuanwu Building. The mellow wine was placed in front of Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang, while the drink in front of the others was the famous strong wine of Xuanwu Tower.

The man in brocade clothes sitting opposite Xuan Shijing saw the wine being served, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "This wine is so fragrant, it smells so fascinating, this is the most precious wine in Xuanwu Tower. Can't burn the knife?"

Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "This young master knows the goods, exactly."
