At this time, Rong Si was only accompanied by Nian Xia, who was eating happily with a bunch of food in her arms. Lian Qiu and Fu Dong were both from the capital. Although they grew up with Rong Si, they often went back to visit their families. Now they have been in the palace for almost half a year. As soon as they came out, they asked Rong Si for a favor and went back to see their families. Xu Chun followed Rong Si's instructions and went to help her with her work.
I saw that the man opposite me had a frown on his face.
Rong Si put down the small thing in her hand very naturally, patted Nian Xia beside her, leaned over to her ear and whispered something, and the little girl immediately walked to the other end with the food in her arms.
Rong Si, wearing a mask, walked straight towards the direction of Rong Feizhou, looked at the things on the surrounding stalls, and then walked around slowly.
He is so greedy for money. Rong Feizhou and the original owner should be considered as siblings. Why is he also one of the characters that can be conquered? Is there another past story here? I know you are not so shameless. Could it be that Rong Si is not the daughter of the Rong family, or Rong Feizhou is not the son of the Rong family
The two are the biological children of General Rong and his wife.
But...wait, you typed that well...
Rong Si's eyes lit up under the mask.
Did you miss two words? The two are the flesh and blood of General Rong and his wife. For example, Rong Si was born to General Rong and a woman, while Rong Feizhou was born to the general's wife and another man. So the two of them will not have any blood relationship. So it seems that the general's wife was also a powerful character, but it's a pity that she died too early.
Rong Si raised her eyebrows.
Does Rong Feizhou know about this
…
If you don't answer, it means he doesn't know. This is interesting.
Rong Si's mind suddenly started to move.
When they passed each other, her shoulder brushed Rong Feizhou's gently. She turned her head and glanced at him gently. Her slightly warm hand brushed the back of his hand. Her lips slightly raised outside the mask, and she walked forward.
Rong Feizhou, who was left there by her, paused for a moment and subconsciously touched the back of his hand. Why did he always feel that the masked man was familiar? It seemed that he looked very much like his sister...
Rong Feizhou frowned, then relaxed. It couldn't be her. The two had a bad relationship since childhood. They always quarreled and made a scene when they met. She couldn't stand him and he also hated her. If it was really his sister, it would be good enough if she didn't rush up to him and make sarcastic remarks when she saw him. How could she walk past him so calmly
However, since his sister entered the palace, he went to the military camp. If you think carefully, the two of them probably haven't seen each other for two years. Who knows what she has become now, how... It has nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, Rong Feizhou wiped the back of his hand and continued forward.
Rong Si walked to the big banyan tree on one side of the market before she gently lifted her mask. She was about to turn over a riddle hanging in front of her, but she didn't expect that at this moment another hand also reached out to the riddle.
Rong Si turned her head, only to see that the person standing in front of her was also a man in white. The mask he wore was even tighter than hers, and nothing else could be seen except a pair of eyes.
When he saw Rong Si turning her head to look at him in surprise, he immediately retracted his hand, "Sorry..."
The voice was very low, but Rong Si, who had the system by her side, recognized it immediately.
Mu Yichen.
Why is he here? Shouldn't he be in Canghai Tower
On this side, Mu Yichen had not expected that he would meet the unruly and willful imperial concubine in the palace here. He came here only because he heard from his subordinates that Rong Feizhou had been here. Who would have thought that Rong Feizhou was not there, but he met his sister instead.
If his mother had not been the old villain Rong Tianpu, she would not have been killed by the then Imperial Concubine Wan, and he himself was poisoned and lived a stupid life. However, every grievance has its perpetrator, and he knows who his enemy is better than anyone else. It would be fine if the Imperial Concubine did not come to provoke him. If she really came to provoke him, he did not know what he would do. In fact, the two of them did not have much intersection in the palace, and the last meeting was just an accident. On weekdays, he deliberately avoided the places where the other party appeared, because he was afraid that he would be angry and kill the Imperial Concubine with a palm, which would make him the most hated person in his mind. He could not live up to his master's teachings.
Thinking of this, Mu Yichen took a step back and was about to leave.
Rong Si smiled, "Don't go, I'll give it to you. I can't solve it anyway. But do you know how to solve this puzzle? Two rows of distant trees stand sideways on the mountain, and a small boat floats on the water. If you know how to solve it, can you help me solve it? I like that lotus lantern, I can pay you for it, okay?"
She suggested this with a smile, and looked very willing to talk to someone. Mu Yichen began to doubt whether the person in front of him was the domineering Concubine Rong in the palace, who could piss off a large number of concubines with just one word.
"Neither can I." He refused coldly.
"Well, okay then." Rong Si looked at the lotus lantern hanging high up with nostalgia, "Sorry..."
The loneliness and politeness in the other person's eyes still made Mu Yichen frown slightly, and then he unexpectedly said, "... It's the word Hui."
After he finished speaking, he was slightly surprised himself, but Rong Si looked at him with shining eyes, "Hey, really? Is it the word Hui? Boss, is he right? If he guessed it right, can I take the lantern?"
"That... I'm afraid not. The rule here is that the lotus lantern can only be taken away by this young man if he can guess my nine riddles. Guessing the riddles requires silver, five cents for each guess. Young man, you can let the young man next to you have a try." The stall owner introduced with a smile as soon as he saw that there was a chance.
Almost as soon as the introduction was finished, Rong Si turned her head and looked at Mu Yichen eagerly. She didn't say anything to embarrass him, but the desire in her eyes when she looked at him was self-evident, just like the tabby cat with a broken hind leg that he picked up in the palace. No one knew which concubine had raised it before, but she threw it away when she saw that its leg was broken. Every time she asked him for food, she had this little expression, and her eyes were moist, as if soaked in spring water.
Mu Yichen was about to say no, but he didn't expect it to come true the next second, "I don't know if I can do it, but let's give it a try..."
After saying this, he immediately saw Rong Si's whole person seemed to have received a great surprise. She took two steps forward, grabbed his sleeve, and pulled him forward, "You try, you try, don't be afraid, I brought silver, a lot of silver, it's no problem for you to try it!"
Rong Si was so happy that she couldn't help herself. Mu Yichen was surprised to see that she took down the riddle diligently, read it word by word, then turned and looked at him seriously and trustingly, as if she was sure that he could win the lotus lantern for her.
He had already promised someone, so Mu Yichen couldn't go back on his word. Besides, Rong Si didn't seem as annoying as he imagined, and as far as he knew, she had no idea about the past. After thinking for a while, Mu Yichen said the correct answer to the riddle. As soon as the boss was sure that he was right, Rong Si immediately cheered with a smile on her face.
When nine questions were answered correctly, the boss took down the lotus lantern with a bitter face and handed it to Rong Si. The other party was already so excited that her little face had turned red. She looked even more beautiful than when she was heavily made up in the palace.
Mu Yichen was stunned at first when this thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and then his mind immediately calmed down.
No matter how beautiful this woman is, it has nothing to do with him. She is the concubine of his "good brother" and her father is the enemy who killed his mother. Forget it, he was just bewildered tonight.
When Mu Yichen was about to turn around and walk away, his sleeve was unexpectedly grabbed by a tender little hand. He turned around and saw Rong Si's reluctant expression, "No...why not give it to you? After all, you worked so hard to answer the questions to win it. I just paid the money. Why not..."
Before Rong Si could finish her words, the other party gently pulled away her sleeve and said, "No need. I have something important to do. Goodbye."
"Hey, I don't know your name yet..."
Before Rong Si could finish her words, the other party had already strode forward and disappeared into the crowd. The anxious expression on Rong Si's face gradually faded away as she stood there. She then chuckled and shook the lotus lantern in her hand.
The current favorability of the general target Mu Yichen is: -10, which has suddenly broken away from the arithmetic progression trash combination.
Rong Si smiled, and Nian Xia, who was holding food, walked around and came to Rong Si. As soon as she came to her, Rong Si stuffed a lotus lantern into her hand.
"Mother... Sir, Sir, it's really beautiful. Did you win it? Sir, you are amazing. Where are we going next? Didn't Sir say that he had something important to do tonight?"
Hearing this, Rong Si glanced at her and said, "Of course, the time is just right now. Xuchun should be ready. Let's go, Nianxia, follow the young master to Canghai Tower and kill everyone together!"
"oh!"
The little girl didn't understand anything and yelled in a rough voice.
At the same time, Shao Qingwei had followed Mu Yuanxiu into Canghai Tower, the largest and most lively building in Shangjing City. Hearing that there would be a poetry gathering here tonight and the imperial examination was approaching, many students from the Wei Dynasty gathered here, waiting to make a splash and make themselves famous. It would be best if he was famous enough that the chief examiner had heard of his name, and famous enough that countless people would sigh and lament if he failed to pass the exam.
For the ancient talented scholars, the management of this kind of fame was extremely important. It was not just about studying hard, but also required all kinds of interpersonal interactions, unless you did not want to be an official, or did not want to be a high-ranking official.
Today, Mu Yuanxiu went out mainly to see the candidates who were about to take the exam, so as to meet them in advance, get to know them, and relax himself.
As soon as I stepped into the hall of Canghai Building, I heard everyone exclaiming "good things" in unison. I wondered which student had written a good poem.
Mu Yuanxiu turned around and glanced at Shao Qingwei, preparing to take her upstairs.
Who would have thought that at this moment, a group of people were walking down from the upstairs. A young man with unsteady steps and puffy and dark eyes suddenly widened his eyes as soon as he met Shao Qingwei, as if he didn't see Mu Yuanxiu standing in front of her, and walked forward to touch Shao Qingwei's little face.
Mu Yichen, who had already returned to his private room, saw the young man and raised his eyebrows.
Liu Ge, the eldest son of Pingnan Marquis, was born to Pingnan Marquis's favorite concubine. Because Pingnan Marquis favored his concubine over his wife, he was arrogant and domineering in his daily life. The key point was that he especially liked boys, especially those with red lips and white teeth, and who were delicate and weak. Once he saw them, they would be unable to walk. It is unknown how many children he had harmed in private.
Thinking of this, Mu Yichen frowned.
The most important thing is that the Pingnan Marquis is Mu Yuanxiu's man, and now he is using his beloved son to tease Mu Yuanxiu's woman. Yes, a woman. He saw at a glance that the one dressed as a child was a woman, even worse than the imperial concubine. The other party at least knew not to put on makeup, and her face was clean. Unlike this one, not only was the ear piercing very obvious, but also the eyebrows and lips were painted with makeup, as if she was afraid that others would not recognize her.
But that has nothing to do with him. Mu Yuanxiu is a conceited and arrogant person, and he will definitely not let his woman be humiliated. But if Liu Ge really lacks something, Pingnan Hou will definitely have a rift with him. This is a vicious move!
Mu Yichen looked in the opposite direction through the bamboo curtain. Anyway, his good second brother probably liked to use his jade-like skin to cover up his cruel and ruthless heart in private.
And below, as expected, before Liu Ge's hand could touch the face of the woman with red lips and white teeth, he was immediately kicked by the men beside Mu Yuanxiu and flew backwards, howling on the spot.
"Where did you come from, you bastard? Do you think you can touch our young master?"
His men shouted, and Mu Yuanxiu narrowed his eyes, held Shao Qingwei's hand, stepped back, and frowned.
With this loud bang, the entire Canghai Tower suddenly became quiet.
"That's why I want to ask you guys where you came from? There is nothing I can't get if I set my eyes on someone..."
"How dare you!" This time it was Mu Yuanxiu who spoke.
"I am presumptuous, and I want to say you are presumptuous. Do you know who I am? Pah... My teeth, my teeth have fallen out. All right, one, two, three, four, all of you come at me, except for that little one, break your legs one by one!"
"yes."
Looking at this scene and the shouting young man, Mu Yuanxiu inexplicably felt that he might have fallen into someone's trap. He mistook Qingwei for a man. There were only a few young men from wealthy families who were so unscrupulous in their 15-year-old sexual habits in the entire Shangjing City. This was bad...
Mu Yuanxiu's face darkened, and he stood in front of Shao Qingwei. Just as he was about to speak, a man in blue came down from upstairs and said with a smile, "My Canghai Tower is a place for making friends through literature. Why are you all so interested in making friends through martial arts today? It's okay to smash my building, but it's my fault for hurting the distinguished guests with fists and feet. How about I do justice and avoid the fists and feet? I think the young master of Pingnan Marquis's family and this young master who has never met should write two poems on the theme of the Lantern Festival to resolve the grudge with words and avoid hurting the harmony between the two sides."
The person who came was the owner of Canghai Tower, Qi Canghai, who was also a famous romantic and talented man in Shangjing City.
"Okay!" Liu Ge gritted his teeth and shouted. He had just received a Lantern Festival poem this morning, which he could use to dampen this guy's prestige. Hehe.
"But if I win, I want that guy to stay with me for two days, hehe!"
"How insolent!" He didn't care about other people, but the son of Prince Pingnan actually asked for Qingwei by name. How could he tolerate this? He was a man, and an emperor. It was not the time for others to defile his woman.
"Brother Liu, you are going too far..."
"how do I… "
"Hey, I heard that Brother Liu has been looking for Wang Youjun's calligraphy. Unfortunately, I just happen to have one here. How about using it as a bet? If you win, you can take the calligraphy and painting. If you lose, you have to admit defeat. How do you think?"
The man in blue walked down slowly.
When he heard about calligraphy, Liu Ge's expression was in a state of struggle. He had a beauty and calligraphy. He had been looking for Wang Youjun's calligraphy for several years, but unfortunately, his influence was not strong enough. Even if he found it, the old officials treasured it like a treasure and would not sell it to him. And now this calligraphy was in front of him...
Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at Shao Qingwei again. Forget it, forget it. He had seen too many people like this. Let him be. At most, after winning the calligraphy, he would send someone to snatch the child back. Hehe.
"Okay, I agree."
Mu Yuanxiu, who didn't want to make things worse, had to nod his head and agree. However, he had already stepped into someone's trap the moment he entered Canghai Tower tonight. Who was it? Who else could it be except his good brother? He schemed against him like this, which, on the one hand, ruined his reputation, on the other hand, caused a rift between him and the King of Pingnan, and also insulted his woman. What a good plot, what a good plot!
Mu Yuanxiu raised his head with a sullen face and looked towards the private room upstairs. He knew that his good brother might be in some room watching his joke right now!
Mu Lianxuan!
Liu Ge, who felt that the copybook was a sure thing, looked at Mu Yuanxiu triumphantly, but one look at the man's face revealed that he had no idea what was going on.
"I let you go first!" He waved his hand, and laughed wantonly despite his two missing front teeth.
Lian Qi Canghai and all the students in the building turned and looked at Mu Yuanxiu with a smile, as if he was a monkey being fooled.
"Tsk..."
Inside the private room, Mu Lianxuan sneered. He lost all his dignity whether winning or losing. Mu Yuanxiu, you are nothing but this!
Although Mu Yuanxiu was angry, he quickly calmed down. His mind moved quickly and a poem immediately appeared in his mind. When he was about to step forward, Shao Qingwei, who had finally come to her senses after the shock, immediately pulled his arm.
I will not offend others unless they offend me. When it comes to Yuan poetry, I believe that no other poem can compare to the one in her mind. They have been forced to this point, there is no reason not to fight back, and of course the more beautiful the counterattack, the better.
"I'll do it." Shao Qingwei smiled confidently at Mu Yuanxiu.
Recalling the song "When Will the Spring Flowers and Autumn Moons End" when they first met, Mu Yuanxiu looked at Shao Qingwei, smiled, and stepped back.
Qingwei must have come up with amazing words. There is no need for outsiders to doubt Qingwei's poetry talent. She often speaks quatrains spontaneously. He should believe her!
"My young master is so skilled in both literature and martial arts that he doesn't even bother to fight you, so he sent a little boy like me to fight. Well, since you told us to go first, then we'll go first. This is a poem of mine, and the name of the poem is Qingyu'an."
As she spoke, Shao Qingwei took two steps forward. The entire Canghai Tower seemed to be her stage, and the first line of the lyrics came out of her mouth, "The east wind blows thousands of flowers at night..."
Just as I paused to keep the secret, a crisp voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"… The night falls, and the stars rain down. The road is filled with the fragrance of the BMW and carved carriages. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragons dance all night. The moth is covered with golden threads of snow willow. The smile and the fragrance are gone. I searched for him among the crowd for a thousand times. Suddenly I turned around and he was there, in the dim light."
Listening to the other party reading without any emotion, Shao Qingwei turned around in shock, and heard the other party say with a smile again, "Hey, brother, did you also buy this book of Song Lian's poems? It's very cheap. I heard from my child that you can buy a book for only two cents of silver. It contains all the poems written by that gentleman throughout his life. Mr. Song Lian is really a great talent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in white walked into the building with a smile on his face. When he saw everyone in the building turned around and came towards him, he coquettishly opened his fan and fanned himself twice.
"What? Why are you all looking at me? Do you want to buy it too? Well, it's on the east side of the market!" He raised the poetry collection in his hand, "The poems in it are all excellent, such as 'When will the spring flowers and autumn moon end', 'How much do we know about the past', 'May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands miles apart'. If you want to buy it, go quickly. I see there are a lot of people there. If you go too late, it will be gone." He tried his best to sell it.
"Hey, that's not right, what are you guys doing? Can you play one with me? Although I can't write poems, I can recite them. I can recite a lot of them. I just recited that one, so I should have recited it correctly! So, um, what are you doing?"
He looked around curiously.
At this moment, Shao Qingwei's face turned pale and blue as she glared at Rong Si who was pretending to be innocent. Mu Yuanxiu, who was standing behind her, had already been stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.
The students around were completely silent, except for Liu Ge, who was missing a front tooth, who pointed at the opposite side and suddenly burst into laughter.
It can be said that the scene was very embarrassing at one point.
