The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 118
When the news of the spring outing came, Liu Wei was thinking about how to deal with Murong Bo, and how to help Zhang Qixian get a Jinshi.

There is no way to deal with Murong Bo and Liu Wei for the time being, but Liu Wei has an idea to help Zhang Qixian get a Jinshi, and he believes that as long as he can succeed, Liu Wei will benefit greatly from it, but helping Zhang Qixian to get a Jinshi has to wait The opportunity, and Liu Wei believes that this opportunity will come soon.

Before the time came, Liu Wei felt that it was not easy to act rashly.

Therefore, he readily agreed to things like the spring outing, and in his opinion, maybe during the spring outing, he may not be able to think of a way to deal with Murong Bo, after all, Murong Bo is very likely to participate in things like the spring outing.

Three days passed in a hurry, and Liu Wei didn't do anything, which surprised both Zhang Qixian and Zhao Chengxu, but they had promised Liu Wei before that everything would be arranged by him, so they didn't say much.

Therefore, when Liu Wei invited them to participate in the spring outing, they readily agreed.

On the day of the spring outing, the willows are green and the flowers are red on the outskirts of the capital, and there are even butterflies dancing. The whole world is full of colors, the fragrance of flowers, the soft wind, everything is so comfortable, so comfortable that people don't want to return to reality.

Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi came early. When they came to the suburbs, there were not many tourists. Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi walked in the fields and alleys. They held hands without saying a word, but But they can feel each other's heartbeat, and even feel each other's heart. In this warm spring season, they want to grow old forever like this.

The roadside is full of yellowish wild flowers, and Liu Wei leans over and picks one and inserts it in Princess Ruyi's hair. The yellow flowers and black-haired face complement each other, making Princess Ruyi more charming and beautiful.

Liu Wei couldn't help but want to kiss Princess Ruyi's forehead, but Princess Ruyi avoided it shyly, then pointed at the old farmer who was weeding in the field not far away, then turned her head shyly and pulled Liu Wei hurriedly. leave.

The beauty's shyness, in Liu Wei's view, is so out of place.

After walking through a section of fields, Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi came to a small stream, which was full of various willow trees, willows hanging down, willows green, greening the mountains and greening the water.

A fisherman is fishing by the stream, and a child is catching butterflies among flowers.

Several scholars who came earlier gathered in a circle and chatted with each other. After seeing Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi, they nodded, and Liu Wei also nodded, and then sat down with Princess Ruyi by the stream. Looking at the ripples in the stream from time to time on Liu Wei's shoulder, he said with a slight smile, "I didn't realize before that life can be so beautiful."

Liu Wei smiled, but didn't answer, because in his opinion, it doesn't matter whether life is bitter or happy, as long as you can be with the person you love, life is beautiful.

The two sat by the stream to enjoy the rare quietness, but after about half a stick of incense, this quietness was broken.

"Liu Concubine, Elder Sister Ruyi, you two came quite early!"

It was the voice of Princess Chai Feng, Princess Chai. Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi stood up, and saw Chai Feng, King Jin, Su Jiaokan and others walking towards them. Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi stepped forward to salute. King Jin said with a smile: "Today, this king wants to imitate Wei and Jin's wind and music, so Prince Consort Liu must be careful."

Liu Wei smiled. The so-called Qushui Liushang means putting wine glasses into the stream. Everyone sits by the stream, and the wine glasses flow down the stream. Whoever stops in front of them will compose a poem or word. , and if you can't make it, you will be fined to introduce the wine in the glass.

The allusion comes from Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Collection, and since the Preface to the Lanting Collection, Qushui Liushang has become an elegant event among literati.

Today the King of Jin wants to imitate this kind of elegant thing, no matter who the literati will refuse, not only will they not refuse, but they will even flock to it. Who is the King of Jin?He is the younger brother of the current Holy Majesty, and he is the heir to the throne. If he can impress him with his talent and reputation, then he will not have to worry about his career in the future.

"Please rest assured, my lord, if there are poems that cannot be composed, I am willing to double the penalty."

"Okay, this is what you said, don't forget it when the time comes."

While the few people were chatting here, the rest of the scholars, talented scholars from the capital, and learned people came one after another. Because Lu Meng was the number one scholar in Jinke, there were many scholars who wanted to make friends. He is upright, but he has no problem dealing with others. Among these scholars, he has a lot of opportunities, which makes all the scholars around him feel at ease.

And among the famous people from the capital who came one after another, there are two groups of people who are the most magnificent and powerful, one of them is from the Murongbo Academy, and there are many talented scholars in the Academy, and this kind of people may win glory for the Academy He, Murong Bo, would never let things go, so he brought all the talented and well-educated people from the academy, there were about 20 people.

After Murong Bo and others came, they first saluted King Jin, and then dispersed. At this time, another group of people came, and the other group of people was even more powerful than Murong Bo.

This group of people is also from the Academy, but they are from the Shenzhou Academy in the capital. The status of the Shenzhou Academy in the capital is second only to the Xuefu Academy. On the contrary, the Academy has one more Jinshi than the Xuefu Academy.

Although there is only one more Jinshi, it has allowed Shenzhou Academy to straighten up in front of Xuefu Academy, and even speak a lot harder. This year's imperial examination is the fairest year since the imperial examination system was implemented for hundreds of years. There are more Jinshi than Xuefu Academy, which means that their Shenzhou Academy is stronger than Xuefu Academy. There were not as many as them before, but it was because the imperial examination was unfair.

Linghu Qi, the dean of Shenzhou Academy, didn't publicize this point, but no matter who has contact with the people of Shenzhou Academy, they can feel the meaning of this unspoken point of view.

Linghu Qi led people towards King Jin, and when he saw Murong Bo, he showed a smug expression on his face: "Mr. Murong came very early."

Murong Bo frowned slightly, and snorted coldly: "It's not like someone who always has no sense of time and is lazy by nature."

In fact, Murong Bo was only a little earlier than Linghu Qi, but now he has a reason to say so.

But Linghu Qi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he smiled: "It doesn't matter if you are lazy or not, the important thing is that there are five Jinshi candidates in our Shenzhou Academy this year."

Linghu Qi doesn't need to say the following words anymore, he only needs to say a number, and then the meaning below can naturally be understood by the other party. There are five of us, and you only passed the exam for four, so what if we are lazy, we are better than you You are smarter than you, and you are not as hardworking as us.

People hate others to say that they are stupid, even if they are called lazy, they don't want to be called stupid.

Murong Bo blew his beard and stared at him in anger, but there was nothing he could do, what Linghu Qi said was the truth.

"Humph!"

Murong Bo snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and walked towards his students, Linghu Qi showed a smug smile, and then walked towards King Jin.

All of this was seen by Liu Wei, and when he understood the reason, he showed a strange smile.

When Liu Wei smiled, Linghu Qi had already arrived in front of King Jin.

"Meet King Jin Qiansui."

"Mr. Linghu's Shenzhou Academy has five senior high school scholars this year, ranking first among all the academies. In the future, we must do our best to train talents for the court."

Linghu Qi was overjoyed and said again and again: "Please don't worry Jin Wang Qiansui, my Shenzhou Academy will definitely continue to work hard."

After all, almost all the people have come, and among these people, there is also a woman who composes the music invited from the brothel. Later, if someone writes a good word, it will be regarded as composing the music It would be impossible to play and sing without them.

Liu Wei talked with Lu Mengzheng and others, but there was a trace of anxiety on his face, because he waited left and right, but Zhao Chengxu and Zhang Qixian were nowhere to be seen. He knew very well that in this situation, the two failed scholars It is very embarrassing to come here, but at this time Liu Wei wants them to come. Originally, Liu Wei invited them to show their talents in front of King Jin. There will be a lot less resistance when they ask for Jinshi places.

Moreover, after he saw the conflict between Murong Bo and Linghu Qi just now, he wanted Zhang Qixian to see how he humiliated Murong Bo later, he wanted to humiliate Murong Bo and let Zhang Qixian relieve his anger.

But he waited and waited, and when the game of Qushui Liushang was about to start, he still couldn't see Zhang Qixian.

Liu Wei sighed softly, thinking that Zhang Qixian might not come here, who would come here to be laughed at?
When thinking this way, Liu Wei turned and walked towards Princess Ruyi. It was time for them to sit by the stream and wait for the game of Qushui Liushang to start like everyone else, but just as Liu Wei turned around, a voice suddenly came from a distance: "Liu Wei Consort, sorry, we are late."

The people who came were Zhang Qixian and Zhao Chengxu. The two of them came in a hurry, but their expressions were very indifferent, as if they had stopped feeling sorry for themselves.

Liu Wei was a little overjoyed, and went forward: "I thought you guys wouldn't come."

Zhang Qixian smiled: "We trust Concubine Liu so much, why don't we come?"

Zhao Chengxu followed suit: "That's right, if you ask us to come, we will come."

The words of the two were very plain, but it was warm in my heart. In this world, do you have a friend who trusts you so much?They believe no matter what you say?No matter what you do, they all think it is right, and they will support you without hesitation?
Liu Wei has such friends, they are Zhang Qixian and Zhao Chengxu, and perhaps Cao Jue who is far away in the Southern Han Dynasty should be counted.

"Okay, if you are willing to come, I will not let you down today."

When the three of them were talking, King Jin, who was already sitting by the stream, smiled slightly, and asked Su, "Is he Zhang Qixian?"

　One more today.
