Chapter 8 Qujiang Poetry Banquet (3)

Chapter 009 Qujiang Poetry Banquet (3)

Zhang Xuan silently raised his head to the sky, the scorching hot summer sun hung high above his head, and the brilliant sunlight cast down on him, dazzled him for a while.However, after all, he was not the ignorant dandy before the Zhang family. He was resolute and unruffled in the face of danger. He quickly changed his plan temporarily and made up his mind again.

Can't bear to let go of the child and can't catch the wolf, so he simply does one thing... A stern look flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes.

"Zhang Xiang, I still have something to do. Go back to the mansion and tell the old lady that I will come whenever I go, and I will never cause trouble outside. Go." Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Xiang hesitated and refused to leave, Zhang Xuan scolded impatiently, "God, didn't you hear what I said? Hurry back home!"

"Yes, Third Young Master." Zhang Xiang faltered a bit, not daring to say anything more, bowed and left in dismay.

Watching Zhang Xiang leave, Zhang Xuan immediately turned around to soothe his slightly messy mood, and instantly became calm and relaxed again.

It's useless to panic, it can only be a joke for the world, so why bother.

Smiling, Zhang Xuan was ready to enter the park.However, when I looked back, I saw a few acquaintances not far away.

One of his former "close friends"—Xu Wenbin, the second son of Dali Temple Minister Xu Qiao, arrogantly led a few Chang'an dudes, walked unsteadily from behind Zhang Xuan, talking and laughing.

Xu Wenbin had actually seen Zhang Xuan a long time ago, but he just pretended not to.

Zhang Huan was involved in the case, and even if the Zhang family escaped, they would be devastated.His father Xu Qiao repeatedly warned him not to associate with Zhang Xuan again.It was a relationship of wine and meat without any real friendship. Hearing that the Zhang family was in trouble, Xu Wenbin naturally changed his attitude and resolutely drew a clear line with Zhang Xuan.

Of course, Xu Wenbin is not alone in harboring such thoughts.

Xu Wenbin didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Xuan at first, but when he got close, looking at Zhang Xuan's face that was far more handsome than his own, he couldn't help feeling a little bit jealous, and this bit of jealousy immediately turned into a teasing and provocation that made things worse.

So he stopped and stared at Zhang Xuan domineeringly, swinging the exquisite folding fan in his hand, and said indifferently to his servant, "Let the person in front get out of the way, someone is going to enter the garden."

The few officials and eunuchs who surrounded Xu Wenbin also pretended to be ignorant and looked down at Zhang Xuan condescendingly, with malicious sneers floating around their mouths.

The two servants of Xu's mansion rushed forward and shouted, "Get out of the way, the second son of our Xu family and all the sons want to enter the garden, don't get in the way!"

Standing behind Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan was a little annoyed. He glared at the two servants of Xu's mansion, and was about to say something, but saw his third son shook his head indifferently, and stepped aside.

Zhang Xuan was helpless, glanced at Zhang Xuan with complicated eyes, and avoided it dejectedly.

This guy has withered, and this stinky skin was born in vain.Xu Wenbin walked past Zhang Xuan triumphantly, and the group of people laughed unpredictably.

Looking at the backs of a group of dandy teenagers entering the garden, Zhang Xuan had a different state of mind, he was not angry, only sighed.

Although it is said that the friends of dudes are unreliable, and birds and beasts disperse when danger comes, but they are like strangers and do not communicate with each other. In fact, people like Xu Wenbin who make trouble when they are in trouble are rare.

Now it is not appropriate to have the same knowledge as this kind of dandy, in the future——

Zhang Xuan shook his head secretly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He was about to enter the garden, but he felt a look of disdain from behind.

He turned back suddenly, and found not far behind him a refined young man with a medium build and a face like a crown jade, walking with a book in his hand.Behind him, followed by two handsome servants.

Cui Huan.The leader of the younger generation of scholars in Chang'an City, with the most literary and romantic talent today, the eldest grandson of Cui Xuanwei, the king of Boling County, was born in the Cui family, one of the eight great noble families.

Cui Huan and Zhang Xuan, in the current city of Chang'an, are two extreme figures, one is the leader of young talents, and the other is the dandy among the rich.It is reasonable for Cui Huan to look down on Zhang Xuan.

If it was the contempt of others, Zhang Xuan would turn a blind eye to it, and would definitely walk alone calmly and calmly.Because no one would have guessed that this unbearable body actually contains a mature soul that can stand out from the crowd—since the "prodigal son turns back" or "rebirth" has become inevitable, why should he care about the temporary "gains and losses"?
The battle of spirits is too naive to make any sense.

But facing Cui Huan, he couldn't stop to say hello.

Without him, this Cui Huan can be regarded as his "big uncle".When Zhang Jiuling was alive, he made a marriage for his youngest son, Zhang Xuan, Cui Ying, the granddaughter of the Cui family and Cui Huan's sister of the same mother.

It is normal for the two families to have a good relationship for generations, and it is normal for them to have children and relatives.Although Zhang Jiuling died of illness later, Cui Jianian still wanted to maintain the marriage because of Zhang Jiuling's old relationship.It's just that Zhang Xuan's reputation as a dude came out later, and the Cui family felt a little regretful about the marriage, but they haven't put it into action yet.

Zhang Xuan made up his mind, walked over and lowered his bow, and said loudly, "Brother Bowen has been away for a long time."

Although Cui Huan looked down on Zhang Xuan, a dude like Zhang Xuan, he was a gentle gentleman, well-educated and personable. Zhang Xuan offered to say hello and salute, and he would definitely not be rude.

"Okay... let's talk in the garden again." Cui Huan returned the gift, although his expression was not very cold, but there was no sense of intimacy.Then he glanced at Zhang Xuan, nodded and strode over, and walked into the garden together with a scholar not far in front of him, chatting and laughing happily.

"Brother Bowen, is Lingmei really going to marry that kind of ignorant dude? What a pity..."

"The Zhang family is facing a catastrophe, and he still has the heart to come to the Qujiang banquet to join in the fun... Hey, Zhang Xiang's generation of famous ministers and his innocence have been completely destroyed by the hands of this prodigal son. It's really sad and lamentable! "

"My parents' order, I and other juniors dare not talk about it. Ziji, let alone this, do you think the Holy Majesty and the imperial concubine will be present at Mrs. Guo's poetry and wine banquet today..."

Zhang Xuan strolled forward and entered the garden with the invitation from Mrs. Guo Guo.The whispers of Cui Huan and others in the forward direction could be vaguely heard in his ears, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The dandyism is worse, the scholar dismisses it, the two sides are not "coordinated", and the crisis is imminent. This is the environment he is in now.

……

……

The corridor is three-fold, and the winding path leads to seclusion.

Ahead was a huge empty field, near the water's edge.At this time, the desks had already been filled according to certain rules, and dozens of desks formed an arc shape. Many people with status were seated under the guidance of servants.

A red carpet is laid in the middle, and on the carpet is a large desk with a complete set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Dozens of maids in neon dresses and feather skirts shuttle back and forth like butterflies on strings of flowers, transporting all kinds of drinks, refreshments and fruits.

Zhang Xuan stood in a corner of the surrounding crowd and did not go in.He is very savvy, he is not qualified to sit there, the only dignitaries who can sit there are the leaders of scholars.
