The red invitation is tied with a bright yellow necklace, and gold foil is used to paste the auspicious cloud pattern on the inside. It is a little more heroic, but a little less elegance of a scholar.

This prince really loves to entertain guests and friends. He just held a cultural party yesterday and is holding one again today.

Chen Ji returned to the hospital with the invitation, and Liu Quxing came over and said, "What a beautiful invitation... But the invitation Chunhua gave you, it's best not to go."

As he said that, he glanced at She Dengke subconsciously and muttered in a low voice: "I have no other intention, I just want to remind Chen Ji that he may be in danger."

She Dengke lowered his head and said nothing.

At this time, Liang Gouer also came over, smelling of alcohol as he got closer: "It's the cultural gathering this afternoon... Why did I only send you an invitation this morning?"

She Dengke asked angrily: "Is there any problem?"

Liang Gouer explained triumphantly: "Of course there is a problem. There are three invitations to the banquet. The first invitation must be sent three days before the banquet; the second invitation must be sent on the morning of the banquet.

The second invitation; the third invitation, the last invitation should be issued an hour before the banquet starts. Invitations issued three days in advance are called "invitations", and invitations made on the same day are called "grabbing guests", which means that you are just a literary party

The foil inside!"

"Oh," Chen Ji nodded, but didn't care.

Liang Gouer immediately added: "This kind of temporary 'catching guests' banquet will make people look down upon you if you go there, so why don't I go for you?"

Chen Ji: "...your abacus is so rubbish on my face."

He looked at Liu Quxing and She Dengke: "As Brother Liu said, I offended Concubine Jing during the consultation at Wanxingyuan. This time I want to clear up the misunderstanding with her. You don't want to go, I will go alone."

.”

The backyard became quiet, and Liu Quxing wanted to quit, but She Dengke took a step forward: "I'll go with you, so I can help you if you need anything."

After saying that, She Dengke turned to look at Liu Quxing: "Are you going?"

Liu Quxing's eyes wandered: "Why are you looking at me like that...I will definitely go, as if you are the only one who is upright. But we don't have decent clothes suitable for attending the banquet. They are all literati and dignitaries.

, it’s so shabby that we just went there...I’m not making excuses, I’m saying that we should go buy some clothes first in the morning, and we should go there in a decent manner.”

She Dengke said dullly: "I have no money."

Liu Quxing gritted his teeth: "I'll lend it to you first, and you'll pay it back to me next month!"

Liang Gou'er clicked his tongue and marveled: "Three brothers advanced and retreated together. I actually saw the Jianghu spirit in you, which is rare and rare."

Liang Mao'er was only worried that Chen Ji would not want to learn the sword, so she quickly added: "Practice your sword well with my brother, and you may become a legend in the world in the future."

However, Liang Gouer laughed and tried to make trouble: "Mao'er, what you said is unlucky. How can there be any living legends in the world? Only when they are dead can they become legends. Young man, the chivalry in this world has been broken. You guys

Don't listen to my brother's nonsense."

Liang Mao'er pushed Liang Gou'er into the house: "Brother, please stop saying a few words!"

…

…

In the afternoon, Liu Quxing was dressed in a neat blue gown, her hair was tied with a net scarf to keep it in order, she was wearing a cherry corrugated hat and Chenqiao shoes.

Chen Ji looked at the other party, and the outfit was actually worn by Liu Quxing, who had a sinister look on his face, and looked like an official, especially the black gauze on the top of his head.

She Dengke's clothes were simpler, just like Chen Ji, with only a hairpin on her head, and her clothes were just newly bought commoners.

The three of them came to the side door of the palace to hand over the post. When the servant saw the post, he immediately led the way respectfully to Feibai Pond in the back garden.

On the way, the servant warned: "I hope the guests will only stay in the back garden, and don't break into the rear house of the female family without permission."

Liu Quxing quickly responded: "Don't worry, Mom, it won't happen."

Walking further into the garden, the three of them could hear the literati talking loudly amidst the sounds of silk and bamboo.

One person said loudly: "Let me tell you, the Jing Dynasty cavalry is nothing to be afraid of. It is already autumn. They have not been able to break through the Chongli Pass until now. They are already exhausted and will retreat soon. If we really want to break through, we, Daning Artillery

With firearms, it will definitely make them unable to eat and carry them around."

"Yes, it is not the Jing Dynasty that is most harmful to the country, but the Eunuch Party! If I take the imperial examination for high school this time, I will explain to Your Majesty the shortcomings of the Eunuch Party's interference in politics when I get to the palace!"

"With Brother Lin's great talent, he will definitely be able to get the top prize in the provincial examination and win the top prize in the palace examination!"

The previous voice hurriedly said modestly: "This year's Xie Yuan is none other than Chen Wenzong. In the past three years at Donglin Academy, he has been the treasure in the hands of gentlemen."

Liu Quxing murmured in a low voice: "You are so fucking awesome. Each one of them is either the first scholar or the first scholar. Is that enough for you to share?"

But there were dozens of desks and desks placed beside Feibai Pond. Bamboo mats were spread on the ground, and the literati were sitting on the ground.

Not far away, there were six small wooden pavilions set up. Curtains were hung on the pavilions to block the eyes of everyone. It seemed that there were female family members sitting in them.

Liu Quxing asked the healthy servant who was leading the way in a low voice: "May I ask, mama, is there any young lady coming today?"

Jian's servant replied: "I want you to know that there are seven or eight noble girls here."

Liu Quxing was called 'Sir', he straightened his back immediately, straightened his clothes, and then sat down in front of an empty table.

He whispered: "My mother told me that usually when holding this kind of cultural gathering, the adults of each family will ask their wives to bring their daughters of appropriate age and see through the curtain to see if there is anyone they like. If they are really chosen by others,

If you are selected, you will avoid ten years of detours."

Chen Ji sighed: "Senior Brother Liu, you really don't want to take any detours."

The desks were arranged in three rows, and it seemed that they decided who would sit in the middle and who would sit in the back according to their status.

The three of them sat side by side at the back. She Dengke looked around, looking for Chunhua's figure, while Liu Quxing quietly poked the traces with his finger: "Look at the first row opposite, your two biological brothers."

Chen Ji looked around, and was shocked to see Chen Wenzong sitting upright and talking to everyone about his ideas, hoping that the court would open up a wider space of speech and revitalize the government.

The other party is sitting in the crowd, even if he is surrounded by talented people, he is like a pearl that can be picked out by others at a glance.

Looking at the pavilion, there seemed to be several girls looking at Chen Wenzong through the curtains.

Looking at the other brother-in-law, Chen Wenxiao was sitting crookedly, his eyes drifting to nowhere. He didn't feel anything when he was riding on the horse before, but now he was outdone by Chen Wenzong.

While they were looking at each other, Chen Wenzong's eyes met with Chen Ji's. The other party smiled and nodded. He just regarded him as an ordinary guest who came to attend the cultural gathering and didn't pay much attention to it.
