Ever since Chu Yunxi was the number one scholar in high school, the rumors about her have never stopped.From the orphan of the Huzhou tragedy, the 16-year-old Zhuangyuan Lang, who brought the dead back to life with acupuncture and thaumaturgy, to the Zhuangyuan Lang cooking and cooking radishes every day, the book "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" written by Zhuang Yuan Lang with an anonymous name, which has ghosts, gods and monsters, and Zhuang Yuan Lang and others. Who is the most beautiful Qin Jue, the head of the "Four Princes of the Capital", etc... How the Ren Zhuangyuan Mansion is closed, all kinds of news are still being talked about by people after dinner.

But now, Chu Yunxi talked the most, the moon-chanting poems at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and that strange letter of promise.As well as the marriage of the eldest princess who is all over the country and the city, she becomes the emperor's son-in-law of the Tian family and is promoted to three ranks.Fame, wealth, power and sex, all the good things that men in the world dream of are all taken by 'he' alone, which makes many people jealous.

"Tell me how many things the eldest princess has sent here?" Shi Ze looked at the brand-new Zhuangyuan Mansion, and joked to Chu Yunxi, with a smile on his face, and he looked happier than Chu Yunxi.

"Sixteen people plus a carriage." Chu Yunxi and Shi Ze sat opposite each other in the pavilion. On the table were tea, fruit, pen and ink, and a large stack of papers with poems written on them.

"That's all?" Shi Ze asked suspiciously, looking at the wisteria lounge chair covered with a whole bearskin, and then at the sapphire fruit bowl in the shape of a lotus leaf.

"There are two boxes in the car." Chu Yunxi held a piece of paper in his hand and looked at it for a while before looking up.

"How big is the box?" Shi Ze asked while peeling an orange.

"The kind that can pretend to be a person." Chu Yunxi flipped through and found another one, looked at it and said.

"Did you take it all?" Shi Ze asked after eating a piece of orange meat, feeling a little sour, looking at Chu Yunxi.

"That's right, it's impolite not to accept them after they've been delivered." Chu Yunxi sorted out the poems of those people at yesterday's banquet.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, she took a few days of sick leave to recuperate.Then go to Changle Palace to find Princess Chang to borrow something, and hold a "Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet" before the September [-]th Double Ninth Festival. Tai Jue, Li Tai, Bai Shaotang and others all attended the banquet.

Although it was a simple Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, there were a large number of people and the banquet was very lively. The people who assigned Shi Ze, Song Qiwen, Li Mo, Xiao Wei and Changle Palace to help were all too busy, and Chu Yunxi, the host of the banquet, The most lazy, invitations, dishes, drinks, seating, and moving chrysanthemums are all done by others. She hides in her study and writes stories about ghosts and goblins as usual.On the day of the banquet, she was very happy to show up to accompany the guests to drink, recite poems and admire the chrysanthemums. Who knew that she would shout to Shi Ze, Li Mo and others that she was tired and boring, and she would not do a second time.Hearing this, Shi Ze gritted his teeth and clenched his fists to stare at her fiercely, took a big gulp of the gourd on his waist before calming down.Li Mo almost burst into tears when he heard it, he didn't know whether he was moved or angry.Xiao Wei had the best attitude and just avoided her.

"You are so impolite!" Shi Ze squinted at her from the side.

"We're almost a family, why are you being polite?" Chu Yunxi replied confidently, but Shi Ze choked.

"Have you read the gift list I gave you after the banquet? Is there anything you want to say?" Shi Ze changed the subject.

"I've seen it, the gifts are quite expensive." Chu Yunxi said without thinking.

"I didn't mean this." Shi Ze couldn't help his forehead.

"Say it straight, I'll listen." Chu Yunxi said, still looking at the poem paper.

"Why didn't your cousin Xiao Yichen come?" Shi Ze asked clearly.

"The Queen's condition is repeated, so he has no time." Chu Yunxi said, looking at the history, he was noncommittal, and changed the subject stiffly.

"Look at Qiwen's "Reminiscence of Chrysanthemums": Looking at the west wind and thinking about it, when the red and white reeds are heartbroken. The empty fence and the old garden have no trace of autumn, and the thin moon is clear and the frost is dreaming. ?

Nian Nian's heart follows the goose far away, and a few sit and listen to the night anvil.Who pity me for the yellow flower disease, comfort words Chongyang will have a period. ?

There is also Li Tai's "Painting Chrysanthemums": I don't know how to write poems and dramas, so is it a competition for painting?The gathered leaves are splashed with thousands of dots of ink, and the gathered flowers are stained with a few traces of frost. ?

The light and strong spirit knows the shadow before the wind, and the fragrance that escapes Qiu Sheng's wrist.Don't admit that Dongli is idle, sticking to the screen and chatting to comfort Chongyang. ?

Look at Qin Jue's "Ode to the Chrysanthemum" again: the chrysanthemum dress is in the purple heart, and the autumn is in the small courtyard.Scattered thousands of red flames are exhausted, and the sleeves are swaying alone to the west wind.

If I were to comment, the poems of Qiwen and Li Tai are both better than that of Qin Jue. How are the "Four Young Masters of the Capital" ranked? "Chu Yunxi looked at the Yongju Ci in his hand and asked in confusion.

"The 'Four Princes of the Capital' are ranked based on talent, family background and appearance, but that was in the past, and now they are more famous. Qiwen is naturally better than Qin Jue. He can read at the age of three, write poetry at the age of seven, and is the first in the 12-year-old child test. When his grandfather was still there, who would have disapproved? Who knew Qin Jue at that time? Li Tai was just a latecomer, and he was just a concubine! There was also the child of the Bai family, the son of several generations of generals, who was out of line. He is a bastard, not as good as Qin Jue in papers, not as good as his deceased father and brother in martial arts, and just like that, he is ranked as one of the 'Four Young Masters', are you angry?" Shi Ze said, not eating oranges Yes, after meditating for a while, he sighed softly and touched the wine gourd on his waist to drink.

"It's just a false name, why are you angry? Besides, the six arts of a gentleman are both civil and military, so why is Bai Shaotang a jerk?" Chu Yunxi looked at him amusedly and said.

"That Bai guy is just a jerk. You can't go wrong if you stay away from him. And I'm not angry because of the ranking, I'm because Qiwen is not worth it. I resigned from the office and got into trouble with my family. Oh, let's not talk about him." I read "Chrysanthemum" by Li Mo: Three paths in the hometown spit out the secluded bushes, and the dark frost fell into the blue sky overnight.? How many people have not returned from the end of the world, and they all use the fence to watch the autumn wind. The writing is really good. What about others, why haven't I seen it today? To?" Shi Ze asked again.

"Li Mo's literary talents are good. It's a pity that this year's Spring Festival, otherwise Jinshi will be a certainty. But now he is here with me, and he has helped me a lot. I will definitely not treat him badly. Let him help me print books today. Well, the "Legend of the White Snake" that I just finished, would you like me to give you a copy? I can sign it for you! As for Qiwen, he is the father of the child. You should take care of yourself in everything, what? When will you marry a beautiful wife and treat me to a wedding?" Chu Yunxi smiled all over his face, and casually said to Shi Ze's pain.

"Mine? Just wait, it's almost time to finish your wedding wine and then your son's full moon wine. Why are you writing "Legend of the White Snake" again, isn't it just a snake spirit? Gentlemen don't say it's strange." God, you are good. You write ghosts and demons all day long. People outside say you are weird, that you are sure to become a rabbit monster, and you can cook radishes yourself. A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. It's all right now, I've turned into a demon. Don't write about it in the future. After marrying the eldest princess, you can live with peace of mind and spend more time with the princess when you have free time. By the way, when is the wedding date for you and the eldest princess? What does the Ministry of Rites say? Haven't you been notified yet?" Shi Ze kept nagging, but suddenly asked this.

"Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month next year." Chu Yunxi was taken aback when he heard the date of the wedding before replying. When he mentioned the word 'Lantern Festival', his tone slightly increased.

"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year? Who counts the days?" Shi Ze asked after a moment of thought.

"The abbot of Longhua Temple, whose Dharma name is Qingci, have you heard of it?" Chu Yunxi asked, also a little puzzled, why is this day so coincidental?

"Of course I've heard of it, it's quite famous, but Master Qingci seldom shows people the horoscope of marriage. Could it be that the eldest princess has been there in person?..." The two were talking, only to hear the hurried footsteps. come in a hurry.

"Something went wrong, go to the bridge to have a look, that Song Qiwen is drunk..." Li Mo ran in, panting.

"Are you drunk or something happened? Slow down, what's going on?" Chu Yunxi asked absently.

"I came back from work and passed by the Yongding Bridge. I saw many people surrounding him. Mr. Song was too drunk. He was so drunk that he wanted to jump with a woman who committed suicide by jumping into the river." Li Mo finally said calmly.

"Who is that woman?" Shi Ze asked confusedly.

"It seems that a woman who is forced to be a concubine is going to jump into the river. I just heard about it. Oh, it's Mr. Song who is going to jump into the river now. Hurry up and save her, otherwise there will be no rush. Don't look at the usual politeness. Yes, he beat the two servants black and blue when they played drunk." Li Mo took the tea Chu Yunxi handed over and drank it in one gulp before sighing.

"Go and have a look." Shi Ze said, looking at Chu Yunxi.

"Well, let Qingzhu arrange a car, and then take the two of them there." Chu Yunxi nodded and said to Li Mo.

"Isn't Qing He the person in charge in your mansion?" Shi Ze asked casually, walking out together.

"Qinghe is in charge of the mansion, and Qingzhu is in charge of going out. The eldest princess ordered it." Li Mo hurriedly said with a smile.

"Troubleshooting, why don't you hurry up?" Chu Yunxi felt a little uneasy, and urged Li Mo to call someone quickly, while walking out with Shi Ze.

A few of them arrived in front of Yongding Bridge, where crowds gathered, and they had to get out of the car and squeeze in quickly.All I saw was Song Qiwen hugging Qiaodun and laughing loudly, reeking of alcohol, as if insane.One of the two servants next to him hugged his thigh, and the other held his hand. His face was bruised and purple, his face was full of helplessness, and he tried hard to persuade him that Song Qiwen danced with his hands and feet and hurt others. Refers to his swearing, making a fuss.A few zhang away, there was a woman in a pink peach blossom embroidered dress, holding a pair of scissors to her neck, and the people nearby looked anxious, and none of them dared to approach.

"This wine is too bad, isn't it?" Chu Yunxi watched and sighed, and then signaled his followers to come forward to help. Five or six people supported Song Qiwen and carried them across the crowd into the carriage.

"You don't care about the things next to you?" Li Mo stopped Chu Yunxi who was about to leave and said with a stare.

"Didn't you listen to what others said? That woman is forcing her to be her cousin's concubine!" Chu Yunxi half-covered her face with a fan and wanted to leave. Qingzhu was quietly guarding her in a narrow-sleeved brocade dress.

"After all, it's a human life, how can it be regarded as nothing?" Li Mo said righteously.

"Then I'll help you." Chu Yunxi took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom as he spoke, and before Li Mo could react, he poured out some black medicinal paste and slapped Li Mo on the face , swipe up and down slightly, and after removing the hand, the half of the face is black and purple, and the left side of the face is white and the right is black, which looks extremely weird.

"What are you doing?" Li Mo glanced at the porcelain bottle, his expression changed, and he reached out to wipe it off.

"Don't move around." Chu Yunxi yelled anxiously, waved his hand and inserted a needle at him, Li Mo immediately drooled with his hands stiffened.Chu Yunxi smiled slyly, and pulled him towards the woman who was about to jump into the river.

"Girl, please wait a moment, can we discuss something?" Chu Yunxi stopped three feet away from the woman, her face flushed slightly, and she smiled shyly.All eyes were on her at once, and then they turned to the 'strange' looking person beside her, one beautiful and one ugly, one suave and suave, the other stupidly smiling.

"What's the matter?" The woman standing by the bridge, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with delicate and immature features, with a look of embarrassment on her face, the scissors in her hand still not loosened, glanced at the two of them, then turned her gaze Move to Chu Yunxi's face to watch for a while.Everyone also looked at it with puzzled faces.

"It's like this. My brother and I have a very good relationship. Although he is ugly and poor, he has a good temper. I want to arrange a marriage for him. He just fell in love with you, and you just want to die, girl. Why don't you marry him? Since he said what he wanted and did a good deed, the girl can also taste the pain worse than death, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Chu Yunxi asked with a smile in a discussing tone.

"Bah...you...you shameless person!" The woman was utterly ashamed and indignant, and everyone looked on in surprise.

"It's okay if you don't agree, girl. It's all up to your own wishes. We don't force you, but I hope you can let us wait here for you to dance. It doesn't matter if you die. My brother used to like to open new graves and sleep with dead people. .Look at how excited he was when I told him." Chu Yunxi said, looking at Li Mo beside him, Li Mo's hands and feet were stiff, his mouth was drooling and he couldn't speak, but he knew it in his heart, and he was trembling with anger.

"Shameless!" The woman scolded angrily with her eyes wide open, holding the scissors in front of her and waving wildly, as if she was afraid of the two of them approaching.After a while, there was another 'wow', and ran away crying.Several people followed anxiously.

Chu Yunxi looked back at Li Mo, who had a white face and a black face, couldn't hold back a smile and turned his head to meet a pair of green eyes.

"Qingzhu, take Li Mo back and let Xiaowei take care of him. I have something to do." After finishing speaking, I searched for an alley opposite the bridge. In the alley, there was indeed a blue-eyed white fox. With an appearance of not being afraid of people, he swaggered ahead and led Chu Yunxi along the alley.
