Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 263

Seeing the little gentlemen coming out of the moon gate one by one, the little ladies on the other side of the stream blushed quietly, and lowered their heads one by one, as if they wanted to see but dared not.

Although Lu Xingwan didn't have that much thought, seeing so many young gentlemen suddenly made him a little nervous. The most relaxed people at the scene were Wen Shu and Chu Hong.

Of the two of them, one made a special trip to watch people joke.One was to accompany someone and then find someone along the way, so I didn't put my mind on it at all.

When all the young ladies were paying attention to each other, the two of them scanned the audience, looking for the woman they met that day.One person is busy preparing to watch the play.

After all the young gentlemen on the opposite side came over, Princess Wei Guochang opened her eyes, and she smiled and asked the few people standing in front, "These gentlemen look a little strange, I don't know where they are from?"

Since it is a blind date meeting, it is natural to know the basics. The man standing at the front is the man who was tired just now, and he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted.

"I have seen the eldest princess and all the young ladies. I am Wang Zhen, whose name is Chongyi, and is a native of the county of Yuzhou. I just came to the capital a month ago. I was lucky to be invited by Mr. Duan to come to the poetry meeting. The eldest princess and all the little ladies, Haihan."

"I've met Wang Langjun." The little lady on the other side, Qi Qifu, returned the salute.

"Yuzhou? It's a good place." The Eldest Princess nodded slightly, and asked again: "I wonder if Mr. Xiao Lang is coming to Beijing this time to visit relatives or friends?"

"No, Xiaosheng came here this time to prepare for the next year's Chunwei exam."

Upon hearing Chunwei, the eldest princess' eyes brightened!
Although the person in front of me has never even entered the examination room, whether he will be able to pass the examination in the coming year remains to be seen, but since he dares to come to the capital to take the examination, he should be [-] to [-]% sure in his heart, and he can be regarded as a person with real talents and practical learning. Able to win laurel in the Toad Palace, but a proper noble son from a poor family.

It is very popular nowadays to catch a son-in-law under the list, and every time the list is released in Chunwei, people will be surrounded in front of Jinming Pond.

At this time, this Wang Langjun is a candidate for the Xinke Jinshi, and his appearance is not bad, so he can take a good look at it. If he really has good conduct and there is no mess in his family, he is really a good candidate.

The eldest princess went through it in her mind, and the smile on her face became more and more loving, "Okay, you are really young and promising. I think you are not very old, but you just became the crown?"

"Yes, the crowning ceremony was just held this spring."

The eldest princess was even more satisfied, and praised a few more words before looking at the next person.

"Xiaosheng Ning Yi, style name Zeen, from Qiantang, aged seventeen, from Bianjing last year."

"Mr. Xiao Lang is here in the capital?"

"Taking care of the business at home, Xiaosheng's home is Kaibuzhuang, and there are several stores in the capital."

"It's really scary to be in charge of several stores at such a young age."

"Xiaosheng Guo Yu, a native of Bianjing, lives in the north of the city."

The young gentlemen bowed their hands and introduced themselves one by one, while the young ladies on the opposite side listened quietly, and then returned the gift with blessings. A blind date banquet was held in full swing.

In the midst of this, Fan Sanlang, who hadn't yet had his turn to introduce himself, looked at the occasional heads poking out of the opposite crowd, and his heart suddenly missed a beat.

Today, Taixue is on vacation. He originally planned to go home and talk to his mother, but before he walked out of the courtyard, he was stopped by his classmate Zhao Xichun, saying that he was going to participate in a poetry meeting, and he might be able to compose a poem on the spot, so he asked him to help Runner.

He and Zhao Xichun were classmates and friends, seeing that he was really in a hurry, so he had no choice but to agree.

When he entered the garden earlier, everything was as usual. The young gentlemen chatted together, wrote poems and essays, and there were even two contemporary scholars commenting on it, so he still felt that it was coming.

But after the moon door opened, he realized that something was wrong, and suddenly realized something in his heart.
Seeing that the people in front of him had started to introduce themselves, he was extremely at a loss, wondering if he should follow along?While thinking about it, he inadvertently saw a familiar figure among the young ladies in brocade clothes.

She dressed up specially when she went out today. Not only did she wear a thin shirt and long skirt like an ordinary lady, but her hair was also neatly combed, and she even wore an expensive swing in her hair.

But as far as he knows, her family background is not good, and she is dressed like this. Could it be that she deliberately did it for the sake of climbing a high branch?
Thinking of this, a sense of loss suddenly surged in my heart.
wrong!This is the West Garden. If you don't have an invitation, you can't come in, even if you are rich.So. Who brought her here?
In order to clarify this question, Fan Zhengqing kept following Wen Shu.

But Wen Shu on the other side didn't notice this side at all. At this time, she was busy looking for someone, but after patrolling around, she didn't see the woman.

It shouldn't be, she clearly saw the carriage outside the garden just now, it doesn't make sense that the carriage came, but no one came.

After thinking about it, she turned around and asked Lu Xingwan next to her in a low voice, "Dare to ask the eldest girl, who is the young lady of the Zhao family?"

"The Zhao family?" Lu Xingwan was slightly taken aback, "Which Zhao family?"

"Ministry of Rites Zhao Shilang's home." Just now when Lu Liu outside the garden was helping her comb her hair, she had already asked Lu Liu, and Lu Liu told her that it should be Zhao Shilang's family.

"What are you doing with his little lady?"

"I want to inquire about some things." Wen Shu told the truth, but she didn't go into details about the details.

Fortunately, Lu Xingwan was not a troublesome person. Hearing this, he didn't say anything, but turned to the right helplessly.Following her gaze, Wen Shu was stunned.

Because the direction she pointed was exactly where Chu Hong was.

She recognized Chu Hong, so it couldn't be from Zhao Dailang's family, so only the round-faced girl beside her was left.And yesterday, Miss Chu Si said that her cousin invited her to the poetry meeting, which means that the round-faced girl is [-]% likely to be her cousin.

What a coincidence!

After sighing in his heart, and confirming with Ms. Lu that she was correct, Wen Shu put his hands together and waited quietly for the waiter, thinking that he would go up to inquire after the crowd dispersed.

At this time, half of the self-introductions on the other side have passed, dozens of young gentlemen, except for three or two unfamiliar faces who have not yet introduced, others such as "Qin Jingyang, Duan Qinying" are all familiar faces, Princess Wei and the wives are all familiar. So common that it needs no introduction.

"Xiaosheng Fan Zhengqing, a native of Bianjing, lives in Dongzi Street in the north of the city." Fan Zhengqing introduced, while stealthily looking at the opposite side.

However, the person he was paying attention to was lowering his head at the moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't even look this way.

After all the face-to-face gentlemen had been introduced, Princess Wei asked them to sit down on the mat next to them.

The brook went around the garden, and at this time, a long row of mats and tables were laid on both sides of the stream, and the young man and the young men sat across the bank under the eyes of the elders.It can not only inquire about the truth, but also not violate the etiquette.

Seeing that there were two quarters of an hour before leaving the banquet, Princess Wei Guochang began to compose poems again.At this time, pens, inks, papers and inkstones have already been laid on the tables on both sides, and it is only waiting for the eldest princess and the two great scholars who came to sit in the town to come up with the questions.
