Chapter 144: The Nine Yin True Scriptures

“Is this Mr. Xu?”

Xu Qi’an heard someone behind him call out his name.

Crap, being recognized by an acquaintance for strolling through a greenhouse? He cursed in his heart while turning back, then let out a sigh of relief.

Behind him was a young man with a clear appearance, wearing a small green-colored coat, the same dress as the young man standing at the entrance of the Shadow Plum Pavilion.

“Mr. Xu, my family’s Miss Ming Yan would like to invite you for tea.” The clean-cut youngster bowed, his smile fawning.

Ming Yan …. Xu Qi’an searched his mind for a moment and knew who this Ming Yan girl was, also a flower girl, a great flower girl who was famous for her dance, the same level as the previous Floating Fragrance.

Of course, Floating Fragrance is now a wave of successful hype, has long been different from the past, the force of the Church Department of all the flower girl.

Learn to dance ah …. It was well known that the effects of dance and yoga were the same! Xu Qi’an’s eyes brightened slightly as she smiled and said, “Lead the way.”

The smile on the face of the clean-cut teenager bloomed all of a sudden, and he kept bowing, “Mr. Xu come with me, this way please, this way please ….”

Being able to invite Xu Qi’an over there, Lady Ming Yan would surely be ecstatic, and would never be stingy with her rewards. And if she returned empty-handed, she would be reprimanded.

At the entrance of the Shadow Plum Pavilion, the small concierge who was about to come out to greet Xu Qi’an, seeing this scene, his face changed slightly, and he opened his mouth, originally wanting to salvage Duke Xu and chastise his fellow diggers.

On second thought, his status was not enough to intervene in this matter, and he might not be able to cause Duke Xu to be disliked.

He gritted his teeth, slammed the door, and ran into the yard in a flurry.

“Several sisters, something big is wrong.” He entered the wine house and stood at the door position, signaling loudly towards the maids inside who were wiping down the tables and arranging cold dishes.

A tall, clean-cut maid, frowned and looked over, her voice softly moistening, “Panicking, what happened?”

The small concierge was full of anxiety, indignation: “Xu Gongzi let people snatch away, just outside the courtyard door, to Ming Yan courtyard boy to halfway snatched over.”

“What?”

“This little slutty hoof, dares to steal our lady’s man.”

The maids were alarmed, and the tall maid violently threw off the wet cloth, lifted the hem of her skirt, and rushed to the master bedroom as if reporting a military situation.

….

In the master bedroom, Floating Fragrance, wearing a long plum blossom dress, sat on the collapse with a lazy posture, holding a volume in her hand, savoring the purple grapes while concentrating on reading the lousy storybook of the talented man.

The fruit plate is full of seasonal fruits, grapes, sugar cane, bananas, dates, etc.

The maid who served her sat squatting by the side of the bed, holding Floating Fragrance’s white and delicate little feet in her hands, pressing and pinching the acupoints on the soles of her feet.

“Your mother has been in a trance lately and not too happy, is she thinking of Mr. Xu?”

“A stinky man, what do I want him for.” Fuuka shook her head.

“Then why do you hit the tea rounds every night and always have me go outside and ask: has Mr. Xu come yet.” The maid snickered.

Fuuka frowned and pointed to the fruit plate, “All men under the sky are the same, just like sugar cane.”

“Sugar cane?”

“At the very beginning it is sweet, so sweet that it calls for one’s heart and liver to melt, and as one eats it, one will realize that it is a mouthful of crumbs at the end.” Floating Fragrance skimmed her mouth.

Taking off her dignified and gentle frame, her brow and eyes and demeanor are more vibrant and vivid.

The maid smiled and said, “Even when it’s crumbs, when it’s sweet, it’s really sweet, and when you stay with him every night, the grunts are a sound one.

Floating fragrance was originally good, by the maid opened the box of words, the heart is difficult to calm down, pursed lips:

“What do you think of Hsu Lang?”

The maid hemmed and hawed, “Extraordinary ……”

Floating Fragrance’s face reddened, gently kicked the maid, and with infinite flavor, she pouted and glared, saying, “Don’t you think he’s different from other men.”

The maid made a reminiscence and agreed, “It is milder than other men, without the arrogant attitude of looking down on us, but when staring at the breasts of the lady, it is no cleaner than those men outside.”

“All men are horny,” Fu Xiang did not care about this, pinched a grape and stuffed it into her mouth:

“Recently, the Education Department has circulated a half-song of seven lines, not less stunning than “The water is clear and shallow with sparse shadows, and the dark fragrance floats in the moon’s yellow dusk”, which is said to have been passed down from the palace.”

The maid nodded, “I heard from the guests who came to play tea rounds that it was made by the royal princes and princesses when they were practicing their drinking orders, I just don’t know which one of the royal princes is the one who has such poetic talent.”

At this time, the tall bodied maid ran close, slightly panting, with some anxious eyes, and said, “Mother, Mr. Xu just came to the Education Department …..”

At that, she paused for a few seconds to calm her breath.

Floating Fragrance let out a “hmm”, not really caring, “Wine and food to entertain, let him wait outside.”

This man, almost a decade did not see, flower before the moon when she called her little sweet, the excitement over, then she will be cold.

Solely one man, no need to get hung up on him.

The maid shook her head repeatedly, “Duke Xu was snatched away halfway by Lady Ming Yan’s people, and has now gone to someone else’s courtyard.”

“What?!”

Floating Fragrance “miso” stood up, her willow eyebrows raised, gritted her teeth and said: “Change, go to the green pool courtyard.”

….

In the elegantly decorated Jin Hall, Xu Qi’an was smiling as he admired the posture of the Dancing Flower Leader.

She wore a goose-yellow saree, dressed neither conservative nor gaudy and vulgar, with clear eyes, pointed jaw, the reason for practicing dance for many years, so that she has a jittery spirit that is not found in other women in the Department of Education.

In addition, her body is not exactly hot, but it is extremely well proportioned.

“Slave attention Xu Gongzi for a period of time ah, unfortunately Xu Gongzi every time to come to the Department of Education, will go straight to the Shadow Plum Pavilion.” Ming Yan’s voice was gentle, like a grudge or a joke, the corner of her mouth smiling:

“Today, I can finally catch a break.”

Xu Qi’an smiled and said “afraid to surprise a good person well”, the heart is calculating, this flower girl and floating incense is a level, when the price of floating incense is 30 taels of silver a night, this should be about the same, not counting the silver to play tea surroundings.

I don’t have that much silver with me today. There’s plenty of gold, but it just doesn’t work as circulating currency.

After the two chatted for a few moments, a maid hurriedly ran in, her head lowered, “Mother, Fu Xiang is here, I, we can’t stop her.”

Ming Yan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “It seems that Floating Fragrance is deeply in love with Gongzi and regards him as a forbidden person.”

Xu Qi’an similarly raised an eyebrow, the words seemed complimentary at first glance, but if he scrutinized the words, he was actually stirring up trouble.

Being regarded as forbidden by a windswept woman is not something honorable in the eyes of men in this era.

Heh, bitchy …. Xu Qi’an drank a mouthful of wine, did not feel unhappy or bored, different people have different attitudes, the women of the Church Department bitchy is not a normal thing.

How do you survive in a place like this without a few tricks.

When it comes to where the bitchiness is at its worst, the emperor’s harem is a deserved industry leader.

Just thinking, floating incense has brought the maid in, the flower queen lady sullen face, wonderful eyes flashing harsh light, the moment she entered the room, her eyebrows without warning changed to warm, pitifully said:

“I’ve heard that Xu Lang has come to the Churchyard Department, and I’d like to come and join in the fun and serve alongside Miss Ming Yan.”

This level of speech is awesome, come to the Green Pond Academy not to rise up and tear down, but come together to serve.

Not only did he declare his sovereignty and knocked out the Ming Yan Flower Leader; he could also please Xu Qi An, so which man would not want to be served by two Flower Leaders at the same time.

Ming Yan pulled up a warm smile, “How good to trouble sister specially come over, I and Xu Gongzi say some whispers, sister a come …. On the contrary, I’m too embarrassed to say it.”

Floating Fragrance acted as if she hadn’t heard, lifting her skirt and naturally sitting beside Xu Qi’an, carefully pouring him wine, pinching his food, and tidying up his disheveled hair.

“Hsu Lang has been busy with his official duties lately?”

“Uh-huh.” Xu Qi’an saw Hua Kui snuggle over and smoothly wrapped his arms around the small slender waist.

“Then come to the Shadow Plum Little Pavilion later in the evening, and slave will rub your shoulders and press your acupoints.” Floating Fragrance softly said.

Ming Yan silver teeth clenched, hate to take a broom to drive this stinking woman out the door, she herself got a big bargain, become a famous prostitute with a far-reaching reputation, should also be content.

There’s no sense in keeping a man on a dead leash and not giving the sisters in the rectory a piece of the action.

The sound of footsteps came hurriedly again, it was still the same maid from earlier, her face was odd as she glanced at Xu Qi’an and whispered:

“Mistress, several Flower Leaders are here ….”

“What?” Ming Yan and Floating Fragrance exclaimed in disbelief.

Xu Qi’an’s ears twitched as he heard the sound of warbling laughter and conversation, and then after a while, a group of high-quality beauties dressed in flamboyant but not demonic dresses fished their way in.

Some of them are charming and affectionate, some of them are sultry and passionate, some of them are as subtle as a lady of the house, and some of them are as soft as Daiyu’s sister.

There are a variety of styles, seven in all.

But both her body and her looks were described as plucky beauties.

“Good day, Mr. Xu!” The Flower Leaders stood in a row and owed their bodies, their voices pleasant and melodious.

Xu Qi’an’s mind was left with four words: clubhouse tender.

Floating Fragrance and Ming Yan were furious in their hearts, but they still had to entertain a few flower girls with false hospitality.

The Jin Hall could not accommodate so many people, so the Ming Yan Flower Girl invited all of them to go to the hall outside and arranged for the maids to serve them with fine wines and food.

The nine Flower Leaders talked and laughed easily and freely as if they were really good sisters, but the gazes they cast at Xu Qi’an from time to time revealed the fact that they were secretly competing with each other.

All of them were human, craving Xu Qi’an’s body, but not showing it. Maintaining the status and demeanor of a flower girl.

However, Xu Qi’an smelled the seemingly unidentifiable smell of gunpowder, especially Floating Fragrance, who would always show a bit of levity between her brows and eyes.

What’s up, you guys want to have a Jiu Yin Jing Jing …. It’s a pity there’s no cell phone, otherwise you can send a friend circle to show off …. Xu Qi’an spat in his heart as he frowned at the flower queens.

A rather talented flower girl suggested a game of jousting.

After three rounds of drinking, Xu Qi’an’s performance was mediocre, with no popular poems coming out, which made the few flower queens who came because of him quite disappointed.

The talented flower girl who proposed to play the drinking game smiled and said, “Do you know the phrase “I don’t know where the sky is when I’m drunk, but the boat is full of dreams and stars”?”

The flower leaders came alive at once, warbling, “Since I know, what a beautiful sentence.”

Floating Fragrance smiled and spoke, “It’s said to have been rumored to have circulated in the Imperial Palace.”

The talented flower girl nodded slightly, “Then do you know who made it?”

The Flower Leaders’ eyes lit up and they looked at her in unison, “Aya knows?”

Xu Qi’an bowed his head and drank.

The talented flower girl shook her head, “I don’t know, but I know something else that’s not in the Church Department ….”

She paused deliberately, sipping her drink slowly.

“Speak quickly.” The Flower Leaders anxiously urged.

Fu Xiang’s attention was also attracted over, her eyes shining brightly, the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked into a smile.

Xu Qi’an had seen this kind of expression before, and in her last life, when her girlfriend and her best friend talked about luxury bags, it was almost the same gesture.

Aya was satisfied with the attitude of the ladies and laughed, “This poem was also born during the wine ceremony, and those who participated in the banquet at that time were all royal daughters and princesses.”

“Is it the Rapunzel?” The flower girls guessed.

If anyone of the royal sons and daughters can write these superb seven words, it must be the famously talented eldest princess Huaiqing.

“I don’t know about that.” Aya shook her head, bitchily glanced at Xu Qi’an, and laughed:

“Although it’s only half a poem, the level is not inferior to Mr. Xu’s Winged Plum. However, my slave feels that Mr. Xu’s poetic talent is unique, and that half of the poem was thought to be a flash of insight, not as talented as Mr. Xu.”

“Yes, yes, yes, has Mr. Xu produced any masterpieces recently? I’ve admired you for a long time.” Another sultry and amorous flower girl threw winks.

The other flower girls didn’t speak, but smiled and looked at him fondly.

They were both competitors and collaborators, attempting to join forces to extract something valuable from Xu Qi’an.

Xu Qi’an sipped his wine and let out a light laugh, “Recently, my talent has dried up and I have no new works, after all, this official is unable to compose a poem every three or four days.”

Hearing him say that, the women were first disappointed and revealed gloominess, then they noticed that it was not right.

After three or four days? Isn’t Mr. Xu’s latest work the plum blossom song that he gave to Floating Fragrance, and then the one he gave to Ziyang Jushi, “Who in the world doesn’t know you”?

The persuasive poems are unknown to them.

Both poems have been around for some time and are widely sung, but the heat is slowly coming down. What is the explanation for the three or four days gap …. This is to say that he had a new work three or four days ago.

Aya remembered the half of the seven words that came out of the palace, it was the day before yesterday, the poetry of the palace, the transmission into the Department of Education is naturally to point out the time, so counting, the time is almost coincident.

Her beautiful eyes widened, her slender fingers tugged the brocade handkerchief tightly, and at this moment, even excitedly, her delicate body trembled gently, looking straight at Xu Qi’an, her voice trembling a little:

“Mr. Xu …. Gongzi’s new work is ….”

Floating Fragrance reacted the fastest, twisting her head around openly, her watery eyes reflecting Xu Qi’an’s appearance.

It was a mixture of excitement and nervousness, like the joy, the anticipation of suddenly realizing that the thing you love so much is right next to you.

The sound of laughter abruptly stopped, the hall quieted down, the intelligent and clever flower girls realized something and turned their heads, casting complicated and inexplicable gazes.

Or expectant, or amazed, or bewildered.
