But Bai Shan insisted on asking, "Why do you want so much money?"
Zhao Liulang smiled and said: "It's okay to tell you, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival there will be ten actresses from Jiangnan coming to Beijing to perform. I want to meet them."
Bai Erlang exclaimed in surprise, "You whore whoring!"
Zhao Liulang covered his mouth and said, "Shut up, you, is that called prostitution? I call it appreciative, and Jiangnan Shiling is here to perform, do you know if you don't sell yourself?"
Bai Shan: "... Isn't this too expensive? One thousand taels for a meeting?"
Zhao Liulang glanced at him and said, "What are you thinking? It's not one thousand taels. I'm more prepared to be prepared, and if you like it, don't you give some gold and silver jewelry to others?"
Bai Shan said: "Brother Zhao, you have a wife."
"It's okay, I'll take her with me later."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang: ...
Zhao Liulang whispered: "Do you agree or not? It doesn't look good to stand on this step all the time."
Bai Shan calculated in his mind, and then said: "It's not difficult for us to scrape together one thousand taels, but Brother Zhao, you have to think clearly, this is a million dollars."
I didn't think one thousand taels was much, but Zhao Liulang, who really didn't want to get it together, felt distressed when he heard that Bai Shan had converted it into money.
But it was only for a moment, and as if bitten by an ant, he waved his hand generously and said, "It's only my father's half a horse's money."
Hearing his arrogance, Bai Shan nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to write me an IOU. I don't want your interest, but you also have to promise to pay me back within two years."
Zhao Liulang nodded with a smile and said, "Simple, simple."
So the three of them hooked their shoulders and went downstairs smiling.
Bai Dalang got a jug of champion red, and the waiter just brought it up. He was planning to pour wine for a few good friends and classmates to have fun, when he picked up the jug, he saw his silly brother coming down the stairs cheerfully, pulling Then he will beg for a drink.
"Brother, let's go to the third floor to drink."
Zhao Liulang also smiled and said: "Brother Zhengjian, this pot of wine is also due to our contribution. If we hadn't pushed you, you would not have written poems, so you will share a cup with us."
Bai Dalang smiled and asked the buddy to serve them new wine glasses and pour them wine.
Zhao Liulang stopped him, "Drinking down here is boring, let's go up and drink, how many students will come together?"
Think about it carefully, everyone, although Zhao Liulang is Bai Shan Baicheng's classmate now, but he entered the Imperial College earlier than them, so he is really their senior brother.
So everyone agreed, surrounded Bai Dalang and went up to the third floor.
Naturally, many people noticed the movement here. When they went up to the second floor, they met many Guozixue students. Everyone simply said hello and went straight to the third floor.
When they disappeared, someone lowered their voices and began to discuss in a low voice, "Bai Zhengjian? I haven't heard of it much before, but they came down from the third floor just now. One is Uncle Zhao Xiaoguo, and the other seems to be Bai Shan."
"Bai Shan? Bai Shan from Longzhou?"
"That's right, it's Bai Shan who told the king of Yizhou to avenge his father before the imperial court. He is now accompanying the prince to read. I saw his papers and articles in Guozixue in the bookstore last time. Strength."
"That's it. I heard that his family went to Mianzhou a long time ago to seek refuge with an uncle. This person should be his eldest cousin. Doesn't he have a younger brother named Bai Cheng? It is probably the one called the eldest brother just now."
"The poems written by Bai Zhengjian just now are not bad."
"Three brothers from one family is a good story."
"I don't know what his name is?"
Someone who knew it interjected, "Single name is a straight word."
Someone thought about it for a while and said: "The trial of seeing him will surely correct him, and he is correct. Although the person who named him simply took the words from "Shuowen", it is a good wish. I don't know how to behave. .”
Wei Chen, who was sitting beside him, couldn't hold back, and interjected, "A person lives up to his name."
The people at the nearby tables couldn't help but look, and saw that the people at the same table with him were all young people of eighteen or nineteen years old, both dressed as scholars, so they clasped their fists and asked with a smile, "Where does Xiongtai study?"
Wei Chen said somewhat reservedly: "Just study in the Imperial College."
He glanced at his friends and said with a smile, "We are all from the Imperial College."
Everyone was pleasantly surprised. Although they knew that there were many Guozijian students in the Zhuangyuan Building, they didn't expect that they would actually talk to each other, so they happily chatted with him.
Wei Chen has a lot to say, he is not familiar with Bai Zhi, but he is familiar with Bai Cheng and Bai Shan, and a friend's brother, it is always right to praise the good side.
So he praised Bai Zhi for his outstanding literary talents, filial piety and friendship, integrity and kindness, anyway, all the good words that could be used were thrown at him.
Not to mention Ji Hao on the side, even Wei Ting and the others were too embarrassed. After exchanging names and posts with him, he found an excuse and dragged him to the hut in the backyard, "Don't exaggerate so much Well, haven't you only met Bai Zhi once?"
"People flock together, Bai Zhi and Bai Shanzhouman are their companions, how can they still be bad people?"
Wei Ting: "... why didn't you go up and say hello to them just now?"
Wei Chen waved his hand indifferently and said, "Didn't you see that they are busy? They are still with Uncle Xiaoguo. It's not good for us to go up at this time. Let's visit when we are free."
Wei Ting: "...Ji Hao said that since they entered the palace, they have rarely interacted with their classmates from the Imperial College, let alone our classmates from the Imperial College."
"That's because Ji Hao doesn't have a good relationship with them, but I have a very good relationship with them," he said, "And they are not people who dislike the poor and love the rich, so don't they think they don't recognize their old friends just because they are prosperous? You think too much."
Wei Ting couldn't talk to him, so he could only say, "Okay, let's go to the toilet first."
Wei Chen held his breath and felt it for a while, then turned around and said, "Forget it, I'll drink two more cups of tea when I go back, this hut smells so bad, it's a loss to go in now."
Wei Ting: ...
He was so angry that he was speechless.
The three of Bai Shan surrounded Bai Dalang and his three classmates to the third floor. Everyone happily drank two glasses of wine, sat down and talked about poems and essays, and stayed there until the sun set and the sky gradually darkened. , and then everyone huddled in the eight windows condescendingly watching the lanterns slowly lighting up on Chang'an Avenue.
The lamp gates and lamp holders at the gate of the inner city lit up little by little, and a phoenix with wings spread out appeared in the dark night sky. Man Bao let out a "wow" along with everyone, amazed.
I feel that the moment when Chang'an's lights are turned on is even more shocking than that of Yongzhou City.
Man Bao stared at the fire phoenix in midair with sparkling eyes, stretched out his finger and said, "Look, its two eyes are red, and the rest are all yellow and other colors!"
Bai Shan nodded again and again, "Not only are they similar in appearance, but they are also similar in spirit."
Even Zhao Liulang sighed: "The work done by the Ministry of Industry is much better than last year."
