Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Wen Shichu took the sachet and muttered, "Brother, why didn't you bring me some hard-to-buy medicinal herbs? Sachets are for women, why did you give them to me?"

"Some are given to you and you pick them up. Do you want them? If not, I'll take them back."

"Then take it back."

Wen Xumo: ...

His cousin is such an honest man.

-----------------

At the end of last year, among the several people who proposed marriage with Yinzhen, Hongshi had basically confirmed that his wife would be Dong E.

Although Hongchang was stupid, several families expressed their willingness to marry their daughters to him.

Now, even the fourteenth prince, Yinzhen, has a princess from Tibet who has taken a fancy to him.

Only Yunli is still single and has become a thorn in Yinzhen's side.

Yunli felt that he was still young and could live a carefree life for a few more years.

Ah Jin said, "Seventeenth Master, there is a poetry gathering at Yuebin Tower today. They have invited many talented people in the capital, as well as candidates who are about to take exams. It's going to be very lively. Why don't we go and take a look?"

Yunli became interested after hearing this.

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

At this time, the second floor of Yuebin Building was full of people. Yunli dressed up as a scholar and blended in. He blended in very well and was not suspected at all.

But even if his identity was exposed, it wouldn't matter. These scholars would only want to make friends with Yunli even more.

Yunli's appearance and demeanor were very outstanding, and he was noticed by everyone as soon as he came in.

Soon, several of the most prominent scholars gathered around Yunli and began to ask about his background.

Yunli had already designed a fake identity, and his name was Chen Yun, following Shu Fei's surname.

Soon everyone started calling him Brother Chen affectionately.

Yunli received the most elite education since childhood and was very good at academics. Within a few rounds, he captured the hearts of these scholars.

Yunli is actually interested in making friends with some scholars. It is interesting to chat with them.

A Jin looked at Yunli's expression and wondered if he was working in the wrong direction. He should have taken Yunli to places where there were many women today.

He thought that even if the emperor was worried about the prince's marriage, he would not bother a servant like him.

He quietly walked aside and started chatting with other book boys.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the restaurant.

Yunli asked, "What's going on over there?"

A scholar who arrived later said that a few children wanted to join the poetry reading, but they didn't allow children, so there was a bit of a commotion.

Yunli had no intention of breaking the rules of the poetry gathering and withdrew his gaze.

However, he heard a voice saying, "We are here to attend the poetry reading."

He felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he walked over and saw that at the stairs, the waiter was stopping a few handsome little boys.

But what a coincidence, he knew these little boys - they were Zhen Yuhuan, Huanbi and Shen Meizhuang who were dressed as men.

Yun Li said, "Call them in. They are my three friends."

The waiter at the restaurant quickly let them go.

In order to prevent the three of them from revealing his identity, Yun Li spoke first: "Do you still remember me? I am Chen Yun."

Just as Huanbi was about to call him Prince, Zhen Yuhuan smiled happily and said, "So it's my big brother."

Yunli smiled and said, "You came to this poetry gathering, but did you sneak out?"

The three of them looked a little guilty and no one dared to speak.

Yunli laughed, "I'll ask my servant to tell your family that you and I are together, so they won't worry."

The three of them nodded in unison.

Being with Yunli, parents will feel relieved no matter what.

When everyone saw that the three children knew Yunli, they stopped talking about them and continued to communicate. Although today's poetry gathering was a poetry gathering, everyone was about to take the imperial examination, and they were all talking about the imperial examination.

Zhen Yuhuan listened very carefully.

A scholar laughed and said, "Little brother, can you understand it at your age?"

Zhen Yuhuan said crisply: "The questions in the imperial examinations generally include classics, policy questions, poetry and prose, etc.

The meaning of the classics is based on Confucian classics, and tests the scholars' understanding and interpretation of the words of the sages. This requires being familiar with the classics, having one's own opinions but not deviating from orthodoxy.

The purpose of the policy questions is to examine the opinions on current affairs and governance strategies. Scholars need to have the world in mind, understand the sufferings of the people and the pros and cons of officialdom, in order to give brilliant answers.

As for poetry, it is a test of the talent and literary accomplishment of scholars. Not only must the words be beautiful, but also they must have artistic conception and connotation. "

The scholar was very surprised. He didn't expect that this little brother, at such a young age, could explain the imperial examination questions so clearly.

An old man stroked his beard and asked, "In your opinion, what kind of answer sheet can stand out in the imperial examination?"

Zhen Yuhuan tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Answers to the classics should be based on classics and have strict logic. They should have both the wisdom of the ancients and their own thinking. Answers to policy questions should be relevant to current issues and practical, not just empty talk. Poems and essays must be sincere and have profound artistic conception in order to impress the examiner."

"I admire you. You are indeed someone Brother Chen knows."

Huanbi raised her chin and said proudly, "My brother is really amazing."

The scholars all smiled kindly.

Yunli withdrew his gaze from Zhen Yuhuan.

She became more and more curious about her father.

What kind of family can raise a daughter with the demeanor of a scholar-official?

If he has the chance someday, he will definitely visit.

There are many activities in this poetry meeting, such as writing poems on assigned topics.

The three people followed Yunli, and Huanbi just looked around to see if there were any delicious food, and then stopped to take a look.

Shen Meizhuang only read those related to poetry and prose, but her behavior was very dignified and she didn't do anything rash at all.

Zhen Yuhuan was lively and looked around everywhere, but her every move was very proper.

Yunli couldn't help but want to test her.

He smiled and said to Zhen Yuhuan, "Since you know so much about poetry, let me test you. How about writing a poem about this autumn scene?"

Zhen Yuhuan raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of confidence.

She thought for a moment, then began to chant: "Autumn frost gradually stains the maple forest, and fallen leaves dance against the blue sky. The sound of wild geese flying over the cold clouds gradually fades away, and the setting sun shines alone on the water like smoke."

Yun Li's eyes showed surprise and he said, "What a good poem! The artistic conception is beautiful and the words are precise. Then write another one with the theme of missing someone."

Zhen Yuhuan chanted slowly after a moment: "The bright moon shines through the window, and my longing for you comes back in my dreams. I can't see you anymore, and I am alone facing an empty cup."

Yun Li applauded and praised: "Excellent! In just a few words, the feeling of missing someone is expressed vividly. Even an elderly person like me is impressed."

Zhen Yuhuan was a little overwhelmed by the praise, "I'm young, and the number of poems I've written is insignificant."

Yunli couldn't help but think of the poem written by his nephew Hongli.

He is not much older than Zhen Yuhuan, but the poems he writes are so nonsense yet he still likes to write them.

It's actually not as good as a little girl.

If Zhen Yuhuan and Hongli were allowed to spend some time together someday, I'm afraid this kid would be embarrassed to death.

"My dear friend Yuhuan, you are so capable at such a young age. I really admire you."

Zhen Yuhuan frowned: "My name is Zhen Huan now."

Yunli was stunned for a moment and asked her, "Why do you want to change your name?"

"The word 'jade' is too vulgar. I don't like it."

"Zhen Huan, Zhen Yuhuan." Yun Li read her name twice, "She has really become much more elegant."

Although they were very happy at the poetry reading, the novelty wore off once the kids were bored.

"Let me take you out for a walk."

Yunli felt that the three of them were about to fall asleep. "Do you want to watch a play, or listen to storytelling? Or do you want to eat something good?"

Huanbi said, "Why don't we go to my noodle shop for dinner? My mother cooks delicious food."

Yunli was a little surprised. He thought that these three ladies were all from aristocratic families, but Huanbi was just a little more lively.

Unexpectedly, Huanbi was just the daughter of a small noodle shop owner.

-----------------

When we arrived at Huanbi's noodle shop, there were already quite a few people sitting inside.

He Mianmian knew from the beginning that the three of them were going out with the current Seventeenth Prince, so she was not worried at first.

Unexpectedly, Huanbi was brought back by someone, which made her nervous.

He Mianmian's noodle shop started out in the slums, and many of her former customers still come to her shop today.

She knew Yunli's identity and was afraid that he would feel that being in these places and with these people was an eyesore.

"I'll prepare a box for you."

He Mianmian's noodle shop is a small business and originally did not have any private rooms. But now the back is where they live, so there are a few vacant rooms, and they are very clean.

Sometimes it is to prevent this situation.

After all, Brother Chang Hai and his family often came to eat, and she would prepare a separate room for Old Madam Wang Jia every time.

Their maids and attendants were all sitting outside.

"Master Seventeen, what would you like to eat?"

Yunli said, "Boss, please serve as much as you like. Don't serve too much. Just enough for us to eat."

Yunli's request was quite down-to-earth, but He Mianmian didn't really serve them only four bowls of noodles.

Soon, He Mianmian brought them a table of food.

There are Huanbi’s favorite mutton noodles, Zhen Huan’s favorite chicken soup noodles, and Shen Meizhuang’s favorite vegetarian noodles.

What was served to Yunli was her family’s signature medicinal chicken noodle soup.

In addition, He Mianmian also served them a whole chicken stewed until soft, a plate of boiled lamb, a plate of various braised meats, a few side dishes and braised eggs.

He Mianmian didn't need to explain, Yun Li already knew that she was bringing out all the good things in the store.

Yun Li glanced at the somewhat nervous He Mian Mian, and his eyes lit up at the chicken noodle soup: "Boss, these noodles and dishes look very authentic and delicious. I must try them today."
