The son-in-law is a thief

Chapter 101

Gu Ruyang saw that Li Tuo was also dressed in military uniform today, with a brand new saber at his waist, and the silver light on his breastplate. In addition, he had a good skin, and he was not inferior to the princes and nobles at the banquet. Gu Ruyang knew that Li Tuo had never given up on Zhaoyang, so he hated him so much that he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"I'm going to talk about him." Zeng Shi continued: "He is quite respected by the ministers of the court, and now the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials all hope that he can receive Zhaoyang in this moon festival... Bah! Received the mistress..."

Zeng Shi thought about it for a long time, but still changed his nickname: "I hope he can win the heart of the little fox."

"Ministry of Rites?" Gu Ruyang couldn't help but cast his eyes on Huang Yuan. This so-called Humerus Veteran of the Great Zhou Dynasty was drinking wine with his colleague, and that colleague was none other than Li Tuo's father, the Ministry of Officials. Shangshu Li Yan.

"Isn't the Ministry of Rites from the Zhaoyang school?" Gu Ruyang asked.

"You can't help the little fox." Zeng Shidao.

Gu Ruyang thought about it for a second, he couldn't help himself in Wanshigang. At the beginning Zhaoyang left obviously because he was persecuted by his subordinates. , It may not be Zhaoyang's original intention to try to collect taxes from Wanshigang.

"The so-called loyalty, there is also time for mistakes." Gu Ruyang put away the dagger on the table and said to Zeng Shi.

"Isn't it?" Zeng Shi naturally agreed: "It's all wrong."

"I'm talking about you." Gu Ruyang didn't forget to stab Zeng Shi's skirt with a knife. They are all gangsters.

Zeng Shi smiled awkwardly, and sent Gu Ruyang's knife back, pointing at Qin Wuyong's place again: "I'm afraid the Moon Festival is about to start, I don't think the little fox has arrived yet, but the master, you But you still have to do well.”

Sure enough, not long after Zeng Shi finished talking, a team entered each of the four sides of the venue, each team had no more than five or six people, and they were dressed gorgeously, not very well. With the melodious sound of drums hidden somewhere, the girls of the four teams followed suit. Stepping on the beat to the rhythm, these are all maikos in the court.Although Gu Ruyang has never lived in the palace, but from Zhaoyang's words and deeds, he knows that life in the palace is strict and self-disciplined, but looking at the movements of today's maiko, there is a bit of dusty appearance, and there is nothing that a palace courtesan should have. atmosphere.Looking at Zeng Shi beside him, he really looked straight at him.

Gu Ruyang pinched Zeng Shi's thigh hard, and asked, "But it looks good?"

Zeng Shi touched his leg and replied: "Looks good, the girl in this palace is indeed beautiful."

Gu Ruyang looked to the right again, and the eyes of those guests were clearly revealed, except for Li Tuo and Li Sui, most of them had the same eyes as Zeng Shi, after all, these maikos were once the most beautiful girls in Hokuriku.This is quite attractive to men. Gu Ruyang was originally a woman, and if she said that she could only give her love to Zhaoyang, she would naturally deal with it calmly.

After finishing the two songs, the maikos retreated together, and the drum music fell silent for a while. Zeng Shi still had something to say, and there are not a few people who are like Zeng Shi, and then Huang Yuan will appear on the stage immediately. Wearing a court uniform, he looks like the person in charge of the overall situation today. If he wants to supervise this matter, it must be the Ministry of Etiquette.

Huang Yuan walked to the middle of the meeting place, first he held the imperial decree to express Qin Wuyong's intention to choose a son-in-law, Gu Ruyang listened carefully, Qin Wuyong's imperial decree was written in a very tactful way, Zhaoyang and his marriage were roughly the same He mentioned it, but he didn't say anything bad about himself. In the end, he even brought it up to his loving father, who had no companion for his eldest daughter, and wished to seek a son-in-law among the wise men in the world. The meaning of Zhaoyang.

Gu Ruyang heard the imperial decree and was so angry that his teeth itch but he had nowhere to attack. Although it was up to Zhaoyang in the end, the existence of the Moon Festival itself was enough to question the relationship between the two of them.

Gu Ruyang suppressed his temper and continued to read. Huang Yuan stepped back and said a few words to a waiter beside him. After a while, he saw a group of small servants filing in. They each held a plate, and on the plate was a Scrolls, they handed them one by one to the guests, and Gu Ruyang also placed one in front of him.

Zeng Shi took the scroll and handed it to Gu Ruyang. Gu Ruyang raised his eyebrows and opened the scroll, only two words were written inside: Haiyue.

Gu Ruyang looked at Zeng Shi, then to the right, and at the other guests, as if they didn't understand the words on the scroll.

"What does this mean?" Zeng Shi asked.

Gu Ruyang shook his head: "I don't know, let's listen to what Huang Yuan has to say."

"This girl?"

A man sitting on Gu Ruyang's right side suddenly got up from his seat and squatted beside Gu Ruyang.

"Who are you?" Before Zeng Shi could speak, Lang Xianning spoke first. He had been on Taiping Island for many years, but his accent was still full of nonsense.

"I'm at the next table, oh...no, I'm Li Chang, the son of Prime Minister Ruan Nan."

Gu Ruyang looked at Ruan Nan, this is not a man, it is clearly a boy, he looks about the same size as Qin Huan'an, and he doesn't know why Ruan Nan sent this man over.

"You, what's the matter!" Zeng Shi said viciously, Ruan Nan was originally a small country, Zeng Shi went to Ruan Nan many times and was received by the Ruan Nan King. Although this place is called a country, it is incomparable to Wanshi Port.

The child shook his head, handed out his scroll, and asked Gu Ruyang, "Girl, what is written on this scroll?"

Gu Ruyang murmured in her heart, could it be that everyone’s content is different? She handed the scroll to the boy, and sure enough, the content was different. Gu Ruyang’s own was Haiyue, but the child’s scroll said Huayue .

"It's really different." Then Li Chang said to Gu Ruyang again: "Girl, are you also here to invite relatives?"

"Call me aunt!" Zeng Shi threw his fist on Li Chang's head, attracting the child's attendants.

Gu Ruyang didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he dismissed Zeng Shi, and asked Li Chang: "I'm here to recruit relatives, do you know what this scroll means?"

Li Chang sized up Gu Ruyang, and asked curiously, "Why are you a woman here to recruit?"

"Speak up!" Zeng Shi threatened Gu Ruyang behind his back: "Answer what you ask."

After all, Li Chang was young, and he was a little afraid of being in a foreign country, so he answered honestly: "There is a title on this scroll. Let us use the title to compose a poem. Didn't they tell you?"

"Who?" Gu Ruyang asked.

"Master Huang, Huang Yuan." Li Chang replied: "Yesterday at noon, the members of the Ministry of Rites sent the news over, did you not receive it?"

Gu Ruyang did not receive it, but she could guess that it must be what Huang Yuan meant.

"Thank you, little brother." Gu Ruyang still bowed his hands habitually, and Lang Xianning wisely sent the boy back to his place.

"Then this is a poem?" Zeng Shi asked.

Gu Ruyang looked to the right again. Some people were shaking their heads, some were thinking hard, and some were confident. She looked at her topic again. If she was writing poetry, she would have learned a little, but if she really wanted to be with these princes and grandchildren Comparing the young master, I'm afraid I still won't get the sweetness.

"Yeah." Gu Ruyang replied, "If it's compared to this, I'm really embarrassed."

"Then I'll ask that boy Ruan Nan at the next table to write for you?" Zeng Shi said as he was about to pull Li Chang over.

"You don't know what level he is, why don't you just be quiet and let me think about it." Gu Ruyang looked at the guests all the way to the right again. enough time to cope.

Zeng Shi saw that Gu Ruyang closed his eyes and began to think hard, so he didn't dare to disturb him any more. He and You Erniang grew up with Gu Ruyang, and Du Yong personally taught dancing, writing and ink, and many children were the best in middle school. The most important one is Gu Ruyang, who can memorize the art of war and tricks fluently. Even the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is Gu Ruyang's fastest answer. However, Du Yong doesn't seem to have taught it deeply. He just mentioned Li Taibai and Du Shaoling roughly. No matter how good Gu Ruyang's background is, it seems a little difficult for her to compose poetry on the spot.

Gu Ruyang tried her best to recall what Du Yong taught. Poetry must be neat and smooth. It is important to have enough imagination. She herself never tires of seeing the sea and the moon. There are moons on the sea and moons in the sea. The moon on the sea is real, and the moon in the sea is empty. If you paint this scene, you can paint its style, but if you write poetry, Gu Ruyang only feels that his brain is empty, and he can't even come up with a useful word. His literary talents are top-notch among a group of pirates, but he doesn't seem to be very good.

Gu Ruyang clenched his fist and hit his head, but he couldn't figure out the answer to this question.

"Sleeping on a horse's back in a hazy state, with residual dreams accompanied by the moon and the sky far away."

The person sitting on the other side of the corner has already begun to sit and answer. The person is dressed in Japanese clothes, but unlike Dong Sulang, he must be a visitor from another country in Dongying.Afterwards, he raised his hands to Huang Yuan and said: "Echizen Kingdom Yijing, the title is the waning moon."

Huang Yuan heard about Dongying's scarlet sentence earlier, and Yijing's answer was not poetry, but Dongying's scarlet sentence.

"Although it lacks some neatness, it's still a good scene." Huang Yuan replied, and he asked Yi Jing Zuo Ze, "I don't know what the Ryukyu Prince is about."

The Ryukyu prince whom Huang Yuan asked was Shang Xuan, who seemed to be over forty years old, he said to Huang Yuan, "My topic is Crescent Moon: Mid-autumn night has passed, and the lack of the moon is like hanging a curtain."

After Shang Xuan finished speaking, it caused a lot of laughter. This poem is really too common and has no poetic artistic conception at all.

Gu Ruyang frowned at the side, she closed her eyes tightly to prevent herself from being distracted, those sneers at Shang Xuan could not affect her thoughts at all, she worked hard to assemble all the words in her brain, hoping to piece together a perfect Answer.

"Seeing the moon in the dust, the heart is also idle, and the situation is in the fairy mansion in Qingqiu. The light is lingering and the cold dew is falling, and it is standing on the highest mountain at this time."

"Good poetry."

"As expected of Mr. Li, he is really talented, talented!"

Gu Ruyang saw that he had already seen Li Tuo, and everyone seemed to approve of Li Tuo very high, so he felt a little annoyed, but now he felt that people around him had entered his table.

"The old man wants to sail a boat, but he can't bear to be disturbed by the waves, so he sits on a canopy to enjoy the moon and Chang'e's music, leaving the heart of the river alone in the autumn moon." The man smiled softly: "What do you think?"

Gu Ruyang opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a girl in a different dress sitting beside her, wearing a veil like her, and Gu Ruyang knew who it was without guessing.

"You... why are you here?" Gu Ruyang wanted to hug him again, but he could only restrain his excitement at this moment.

"I was afraid that you would lose me because you didn't know how to write poems, so I came to you first." Zhaoyang said and grabbed Gu Ruyang's hand: "I don't have much time, you should cherish it."
