Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 163

At the prince's wedding celebration, Liang Shicheng was beside Cai Jing, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations."

Cai Jing narrowed his old eyes slightly, and said with a faint smile: "This is the prince's wedding, if you want to congratulate you, you should also congratulate the prince. The official made a mistake."

He has a different feeling in his heart, Wang Xiu's voluntary withdrawal, so as not to ruin his relationship, but Zhao Ji's preference for Wang Xiu still makes him feel in danger, especially Wang Xiu seems to be favored by Lin Lingsu.

Wang Xiu's voluntary withdrawal does not mean that he is unwilling, it may also be due to assessing the situation. In his life motto, he has never really believed in anyone. If Wang Xiu and Lin Lingsu get together, it will definitely be a threat to him.

Although Wang Xiu saved Cai Tao, fulfilled Cai Wei, and was Cai Yi's good friend, he also pinned his hopes on this young man, but now there are vague factors of instability, and he hesitated whether to use some means.

How old is Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing's filth can't escape his vision, he half-smiles and said: "That day the official and Brother Thirteen discussed harmony in detail, how can this old slave not congratulate Mr. Xianggong."

Cai Jing was told by Liang Shicheng that he had a toothache, but what happened in the palace could not be hidden from Liang Shicheng, so instead of trying to cover it up, he should be open-minded, and smiled immediately: "I also ask the senior officials to say a few words of kindness for that kid in front of the officials."

"Msister-in-law is too modest, this is our duty as slaves." Liang Shicheng smiled like a chrysanthemum, and whispered: "By the way, that Wang Xiu, I hope that Mr. Wang will supervise more, and don't worry about the wind and snow. , let’s get down to business first, otherwise the officials won’t be able to talk.”

If others heard this, they would definitely feel dissatisfied, but Cai Jing is such a seasoned fox, he tasted several tastes from Liang Shicheng's urging, at least he was sure that the eunuch in front of him valued Wang Xiu, which made him even more Be cautious.

The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and the eyes of Wang Fu, Cai You and others were attracted. The two of them stopped talking resolutely. Very rude.

The grand ceremony was still going on in an orderly manner, the crown prince stood at the door to welcome the bride, Geng Nan loyally held the jade osmanthus, and followed each other with a red face.

There is a wedding ceremony in the palace, and the whole city of Kaifeng in Tokyo celebrates it, but the citizens are not very interested, and they go about their own affairs in the evening.When it was time to seal again, Wang Xiu stretched his body, and there were still about ten days before he could complete the Prime Minister's Office of State Affairs, how did he feel?He was going to pack up and go back to sleep. The news of Zhu Lian becoming the princess shocked him too much. It would be nonsense to say that he didn't feel it. As for Fan Lou, he really didn't want to go.

Unexpectedly, Cai Yi came in again with a smile, and he asked in surprise: "Yi Zhi, why are you here if you don't go home?"

"Go to Fanlou with you to play around." Cai Yi grinned.

"I'm too tired today, I'm going back to rest." Wang Xiu said lightly.

Cai Yi didn't respond and wanted to come over, and said in surprise: "Go back and rest?"

"What's the matter, can't you?" Wang Xiu rolled his eyes. He felt very uncomfortable. He once had a woman whom he had always dreamed of, but today he became someone else's bride, and no one would feel better.Perhaps, it is a little bit reluctant to say that it is love at first sight, and it is a little bit to say that it is worrying, but Zhu Lian is definitely the woman he cares about. Sometimes he thinks that falling in love with Youqin and Moyan is a matter of course, but he has a faint curiosity and expectation for Zhu Lian.

"Okay, you are tired enough these days." Cai Yi pouted.

Maybe, Wang Xiu felt his attitude was blunt. He whispered: "These days I have been busy during the day, and at night. I really can't take it anymore. I prescribed a by-product medicine yesterday, and I fried it to make me sweat."

"So it's because you're not feeling well. No wonder you've been depressed all day. You should take good care of yourself so that you don't get sick." Cai Yi nodded and said.

Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing bitterly, Cai Yi thought he was in a trance, drinking and having fun day and night, forget it, people thought he was unruly and unruly, anyway, his reputation had already gone out, so go back at night to quiet down and think about it.

"Today I asked Fan Juemin and Zhao Yuanzhen to meet Qin Huizhi, and I kindly invited you. Forget it, forget it, I can go by myself." Cai Yi shook his head and was about to turn around.

"Wait, you're talking about Zhao Ding and Qin Hui?" Wang Xiu hurriedly called to Cai Yi. These two guys impressed him too much. He definitely puts more emphasis on them than Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng. !
"That's right! The top of Qinhui, Ke Dengdi, is the professor of Mizhou. He just came back to report on his work yesterday." Cai Yi smiled, and said: "Zhao Yuanzhen and Mr. Yuanmiao are very close, if I didn't personally Go, he still wants to hear the sermon."

Wang Xiu knew that Zhao Ding was born as a Jinshi in Chongning for five years. He was transferred from Luoyang Ling to Kaifeng last year. close relationship.

"How do you know Qin Huizhi?"

Cai Yi looked at Wang Xiu in astonishment, and said with a smile, "Qin Hui was a petty official before he became the emperor, and we met by chance. Why, brother Wen Shi knows him?"

Wang Xiu blinked, changed the subject, and said, "Zhao Yuanzhen has a relationship once, but Qin Huizhi has never met him. He just heard about it when he was staying in the Imperial College."

This explanation is reasonable. After all, Qin Hui was not a Jinshi before he became an official of the junior imperial school. This is rare among previous imperial scholars. Cai Yi didn't think much about it. You can't work hard to climb the yellow armor."

"When you say that, I really want to know this young brother." Wang Xiu said with a half-smile.He is really interested, whether it is Fan Zongyin, Zhao Ding or Qin Hui, who is not the elite in the future, if he can establish a good relationship with these people in advance and establish intertwined interests, he will be able to win at the next starting line.

Cai Yi's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Why did you become interested after hearing about Qin Huizhi? Could it be? His wife is the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Wen Gonggong, Wen Shi..."

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes, stretched her arms and legs tiredly, and said with a smile: "I have no relatives, I'm just interested, if you don't agree with me, bite me!"

At nightfall, Zhen'an Square next to the Royal Street has just begun to become lively. Half of the highest-standard brothels in the capital are here. .

Still in Shuiyun Pavilion, Wang Xiu sat at separate tables with Cai Yi, Fan Zongyin, Zhao Ding, Qin Hui, Mo Mo, and others. Their respective tables were filled with seasonal fruits, meat and vegetable delicacies. The five of them respected each other alternately, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Wang Xiu is very familiar with Cai Yi and Fan Zongyin. He has a relationship with Zhao Ding once, and he knows a lot of words, but he is really humble to Qin Hui, and it is very interesting that Zhao Ding and Qin Hui can get together. .

In history textbooks, Zhao Ding is famous as a loyal and virtuous minister, while Qin Hui is an eternal treacherous minister. The entanglement between the two aroused his great interest, and he even had the idea that the two of them could join hands and wonder what the world would be like.

Cai Yi has a casual temperament, and he enjoys being among the crowd. Silence is also a businessman's nature, and it is their principle to make friends all over the world. As soon as he comes up, he talks passionately with Zhao Ding and Qin Hui. Seeing the posture, he can't wait to burn incense and worship immediately.

Wang Xiu is more cautious, he needs to observe Zhao Ding and Qin Hui again, these two are heroes of the moment!His attitude is enthusiastic, but deep down he is still guarded.

He raised his glass to Qin Hui and Zhao Ding and said, "Brother Yuan Zhen and Brother Hui, I would like to respect you both."

"Wenshi, please." Qin Hui laughed for a while, drank the contents of the cup, smacked his lips and said: "Today, Cai Wenjin came to me to say that he was a catch-up, but I didn't expect Wenshi to come. Wenshi has been friends with God for a long time."

Zhao Ding took a deep look at Wang Xiu, and said with a smile, "Wen Shi is the reincarnation of an immortal, and it's too late to meet him."

Qin Hui frowned, and said with a smile, "I never thought Brother Yuan Zhen would still believe in that set of ghosts."

Wang Xiu can tell from Qin Hui's attitude that quite a few scholars are not interested in gods and Buddhas, and even have a repulsive mentality. The reason is that Zhao Ji has gone too far in recent years. People get bored.

That's right, if you fool the Taoist master, people will get it, and use it as a ruling tool for the elite, so that people can rely on illusory things to reduce the harm to the ruling class.This will be great, those people who should be used by them, instead climb on top of them, everyone wants to worship the gods, and they are playing too much.

Zhao Ding smiled lightly, didn't take Qin Hui's words seriously, and said: "Hui Zhi, you have been away for many years, and you don't know the magic of Shen Xiao Bao Jian, Mr. Yuan Miao is a learned man."

Wang Xiu could hear Zhao Ding's contradictory psychology. Zhao Ding regarded Lin Lingsu as a learned man, and he obviously didn't fully believe in the nonsense of the Taoist school of God, but it cannot be denied that Lin Lingsu's Taoism was very high, and Zhao Ding received Zhao Ding's attention. Ding agrees, it seems that some scholars who support Lin Lingsu, many of them are interested in Taoism, not believe in gods and Buddhas, and there are still a small number of diehards.

"Please, both of you." He smiled and drank another gulp, and said, "It's fortunate that Second Young Master Cai and First Young Master Shen are the hosts, otherwise I'll be exhausted in one meal. Let's not talk about the affairs of the Immortal Buddha. If you only comment on beauty, you are a beauty." As she spoke, her eyes turned to the glamorous wine girl with a blushing face.

Cai Yi pointed at Wang Xiu with his chopsticks, and scolded with a smile: "Wen Shi is so mean, you have to grit your teeth and spend money when you come to Fanlou, Li Ganniang can't wait to invite you here every day, good wine and good food are served by the first-class lady, now Kaifeng Who in the city doesn't know, needless to say Li Xingshou will come in person in a while."

"There is such a good thing." Qin Hui put down his glass and looked at Cai Yi in surprise.

Silence looked at Wang Xiu with a grin.Jokingly said: "It's no wonder that Wenshi splashes ink and even writes amazing pens. Those are all wonderful articles. Of course, we can win the favor of the little lady. How can we have such a blessing."

Fan Zongyin nodded. Wang Xiu's love affair in Fanlou had long been talked about by scholars. Although he thought it was disheartening, he was also very envious of Wang Xiu's affair.

Wang Xiu smiled awkwardly: "Brother Hui, they are making fun of me again, and I can only write one or two romantic poems, how can I compare with Brother Hui and Brother Yuan Zhen who are so experienced in the world? Didn't you scold me?"

　The new year of the Gregorian calendar begins, I would like to congratulate you all, and the update will definitely enter the normal state.
