Chapter 71: Weird Information (Added for ally “Shixiu”)

Handed over the silver for playing tea surroundings, entered the courtyard, burning charcoal fire indoor sitting seven or eight guests, drinking tea and chatting, the elegance is strong.

Six colorfully clad dancing girls draped in light gauze skirts danced, twisting their slender waists and plump hips.

Xu Qi’an swept around and didn’t see the flower girl who was a great lady outside and a charming and flirtatious woman inside the bed.

The tea ceremony was not all about drinking, but also about listening to songs and enjoying dances. And the flower girl does not always come out to accompany the guests.

Similarly, guests need “free space”, and a drinking game is fun, but not conducive to personal exchanges.

Some of the guests are here in groups, drinking flowery drinks and bonding. That’s when a little freedom is needed to let them play on their own.

As the three of them took their seats, Song Tingfeng shrugged his shoulders and smiled with narrowed eyes, “It seems that Miss Floating Fragrance doesn’t intend to come out to accompany her guests tonight.”

Xu Qi’an asked, “Why do you say that?”

Song Tingfeng explained, “The time to play tea round is limited, usually, a group of guests will stay here for up to an hour, and either renew the next table or leave.

And it takes almost an hour to have a good time when you want to have a good time with a line of wine.”

That is to say, our batch is not to play the line wine order, then of course the floating incense will not appear ….. Why do you know so much about the rules of the Department of Education, you haven’t patronized it much, have you?…. Xu Qi An nodded, indicating that he had learned something new.

A dance ends with a short break for the dance prostitutes.

A young man in a light green Confucian shirt got up, raised his cup, and looked around, “Is Mr. Yang Ling Yang in?”

He asked three times in a row, no one answered, and sat down in disappointment.

At the neighboring table, a middle-aged man dressed as a rich man asked curiously, “Brother, who is this Yang Ling?”

“Sparse shadows across the water are clear and shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon.” The young man in the light green Confucian shirt, slightly raised his chin, “Ever heard of it?”

“Somewhat impressive.” The middle-aged man dressed as a rich man recalled for a moment.

“Of course, once this poem came out, it was called by the current readers as the best poem about plums since the ancient times. Even you people should have heard of it.” The young man in the Confucian shirt proudly raised his head, “Only we readers can make the best lines.”

The middle-aged man dressed as a rich man wondered, “Then why is the gentleman looking for someone here?”

In the midst of the two men’s conversation, the drinkers on the side also stopped climbing and listened with their ears.

“Because this song of the ages came out in the Shadow Plum Pavilion, and this poem was given to Miss Floating Fragrance by Mr. Yang Ling Yang, using the plum as a metaphor for a person, and interplaying, which is really an embroidered mind.”

“No wonder the Shadow Plum Pavilion has been graced with guests lately, and no wonder Miss Floating Fragrance always stays out of the way.”

“Yes, I heard that Miss Floating Fragrance has easily stopped accompanying guests.”

“Sparse shadow across the water is clear and shallow, dark fragrance floating moon dusk ….. What a beautiful poem, I really want to meet Miss Floating Fragrance, and that talented man.”

Upon hearing this, the young man in the light green Confucian shirt stifled a sigh of relief, “That Mr. Yang only appeared once in the Department of Education, and was nowhere to be found, and the State Scholarship Academy sent someone to the Changle County School to look for him, but the result was that there was no trace of this person.”

“There is such a strange thing!” The crowd was alarmed.

The young man in the light green Confucian shirt said helplessly, “I come to Shadow Plum Little Pavilion every day just to wait for him. It’s not just me, all the scholars in the capital want to befriend this person.”

Song Tingfeng tsked, “This is great, Miss Fuxiang is no longer a woman we can covet.”

Zhu Guangxiao also sighed.

Do I count this as invariably inflating the price of ac ….. Xu Qi’an dipped his head in vain and sipped his tea.

Song Tingfeng looked at his new colleague and said, “It’s a pity that you’re good at solving crimes, but not at writing poems, if you can be the same as that Yang Ling, and write a poem for the ages, Miss Floating Fragrance would be willing to do it even if she was upside down.”

“Backwards?!” Xu Qi’an discovered Hua Dot.

“Do you think that the rumors of the affair between the dusty woman and the poor scholar are made up out of thin air? The poor scholar can occasionally come up with a good sentence, gifted to the dusty woman, she will be worth a lot. This is a mutually beneficial good thing, and those who are young and famous readers, but also the dusty woman to tout the object.

“Do not say do not silver, or even upside down is also willing. Yunlu Academy’s Ziyang Jushi, back in the day, was quite talented in poetry, and after winning the Scholarship, he lingered in the Education Department for three months without paying a penny of silver.” Song Tingfeng said.

Zhu Guangxiao nodded his head in affirmation.

Song Tingfeng’s breath caught as he noticed his new colleague’s jaw drop, as if he was in great shock, and as if he had heard inspiring news.

A maid who was serving the guests with drinks, hurriedly left the table and stared at Xu Qi’an for a few seconds, revealing a look of ecstasy, and actually skipped the drinkers and ran out of the house without any regard for her image.

Shortly after that, the fully dressed flower girl came out, her long skirt trailing on the ground, the gorgeous jewelry between her green silk and her pretty face.

The thickness of the bodice is just right, not too bulky to emphasize a luscious, buoyant, mature figure; nor is it too much of a show-off.

This was significantly more elaborate in terms of dress than when Xu Qi’an had first met her. It was not like a flower girl from the Department of Education, but a socialite with a certain status and a far-reaching reputation for voluptuousness.

Lady Floating Fragrance swept a pair of surly, wonderful eyes over the guests and paused for a moment on Xu Qi’an.

“Huh, Fuuka just looked at me.” Song Tingfeng was slightly shocked.

Zhu Guangxiao glanced at him, straightened his back, and said defiantly, “It’s looking at me.”

After saluting the guests, Floating Fragrance said in a soft, moist voice, “My slave will offer a dance to help the guests with their pleasure.”

The guests were pleasantly surprised, not expecting that the most popular flower girl of the Education Department would be willing to show up for a meeting.

Sharp-minded guests, think a little deeper, Floating Fragrance Flower Leader is known as the qin and poetry, not known for the dance, why today is dancing.

“With this body, it would be great if I could dance a song of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss for me…” floated Xu Qi’an as he admired the graceful dance.

When the song ended, Fu Xiang drank a glass of wine and retired with a flushed face.

Song Tingfeng laughed, “It’s worth it.”

Zhu Guangxiao nodded.

Song Tingfeng picked up his wine glass and gestured towards Xu Qi’an, “Miss Fuxiang seldom dances, but plays the qin quite often, and for you to be able to see her dance when you first come to the Department of Education, it’s worth the silver spent.”

Xu Qi’an raised his glass in return, “It would be nice to stay at her house tonight.”

Song Tingfeng laughed out loud.

Zhu Guangxiao shook his head slightly.

Song Tingfeng had just finished laughing when he saw a maid walk over and say, “Mr. Yang, my maiden invites you to enter the house for tea.”

…. Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked at Xu Qi’an blankly, their faces stiffening a little.

Xu Qi’an patted him on the shoulder, “Tomorrow at dawn, I won’t see you at the courtyard entrance.”

Clang… The scholar wearing a light green Confucian shirt, fiercely stood up from in front of the case, revealing a look of shock and ecstasy, shouting: ”Mr. Yang, you are Yang Ling? You are Yang Ling? Brother Yang, brother Yang …. My name is Du Ying ….”

Xu Qi’an stopped, arched his hand toward him, and followed the maid away.

Yang Ling …. The room full of drinkers stared wide-eyed, and a few readers in Confucian shirts were ecstatic.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked at each other wordlessly, “???”

……

Warm spring-like bedroom with a tub behind a screen.

Xu Qi’an soaked in the hot water floating with flower petals and exhaled comfortably.

Draped in a light veil, with fair skin and a remarkable figure, Floating Fragrance sat on her knees by the tub to serve, her soft little hands rubbing over his body.

“After not seeing you for a few days, Your Excellency has become more and more handsome.” The Flower Quarter Maiden admired Xu Qi’an’s strong body, her bright eyes almost unable to move away.

Before, Xu Qi’an’s handsome features were considered good, and today when they were reunited, it was clear that there was no change in their appearance, but they gave off an indescribable aura.

“As long as you like it, my change is worth it.” Xu Qi’an raised an eyebrow.

Floating Fragrance’s pretty face flushed with some shy delight.

She looked grumpy and said, “Net will say some good-sounding coaxing slaves, Gongzi obviously does not look at me.”

What kind of man can hold her all night and do nothing?

The flower girl wakes up the next day with great doubts about her charms.

“I was more tired that day …..” Xu Qi Min said, which sounded like the excuse of a forty or fifty year old man.

He instantly digressed and asked, “Is it cold.”

The flower girl immediately nodded her head and said in a resigned manner, “Cold~”

Xu Qi’an pulled her into the bath tub.

Plop…

Caught off guard by the screaming.

Floating Fragrance flopped down in Xu Qi’an’s arms and pouted, “Nasty.”

She sat on Xu Qi’an’s stomach, hooked her hands around his neck, and talked in a conversation like he was asking for poems.

Although Xu Qi’an was a waterboy, he had a lot of poems memorized in his stomach, and occasionally popping out a few lines made the flower girl blush with excitement.

“By the way, has Mr. Yang heard about Servant Zhou’s dismissal and exile?”

Her seemingly casual remark put Xu Qi Min on guard.

“I heard about it, it seems to have been impeached by the Marquis of Might.” Xu Qi’an said.

The Flower Lady raised her charming and amorous pretty face, gazed at him, and laughed softly, “It seems that it is because that Duke Zhou’s thieving heart is not dead, and he hijacked the Marquis of Weiwu’s concubine daughter.”

“So beauty is a bone scraper.” Xu Qi’an said, half-surprised and half-emotional.

As a criminal investigation veteran, no one could easily extract information from him. However, Fuuka might be suspicious in his mind.

Which is so coincidental, that day just finished the old story, Zhou Li really took a shot at the concubine daughter of the Marquis of Weiwu …. Well, it may not be suspicion, but there is definitely curiosity.

I have to enhance this woman’s favorable impression of me, so that she tends to me from the bottom of her heart, so that she won’t talk about me to some official one day ….

“Just now, watching the girl dance, my heart was suddenly touched, and I occasionally got a few lines…” Xu Qi’an wrapped his arms around the beauty’s fragrant shoulders and chanted, “This year’s laughter will be repeated in the next year, and the autumn moon and spring breeze will be spent idly.”

Laughter this year to repeat next year, the autumn moon and spring wind idle degree …. The flower girl’s eyes pooled tears and cried in a low voice: “Is the gentleman poking at the slave’s heart, the gentleman is so hard-hearted.”

That night, the flower girl’s bed rocked until midnight.

…..

At dawn the next day, Xu Qi’an dressed under the service of a slightly haggard beauty, took his morning meal, and bid farewell to the imploring Floating Fragrance.

The big maid who served Floating Fragrance, when she looked at him this morning, the worshipful look in her eyes made Xu Qi’an spring into action.

When he exited the courtyard of the Shadow Plum Pavilion, he saw his two spirited colleagues at the door.

Sure enough, I didn’t ask for silver …. Ai, nay, the grace of beauty is heavy …. Xu Qi’an said in a light tone, “Good morning, both of you.”

The three of them left the hutong of the Department of Education side by side, and when they were saying goodbye, Song Tingfeng squinted his eyes and couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Floating Fragrance …. How is it?”

The silent Zhu Guangxiao also looked over.

Xu Qi’an gazed forward with a three-times arrogant, three-times gangly look, the corner of his mouth lifting, “Call me Runjushi from now on.”

……

He bought a few silks in the inner city and rented a carriage to rush back to the Xu Mansion.

Uncle Xu took a vacation today and stayed home to wait for his news. Xu New Year also did not read and was not in the mood.

It wasn’t until Xu Qi’an had his subordinates return with the silks that the family was relieved.

Xu Qi’an didn’t explain too much, pointing to the silk and smiling, “For aunt and sisters to make clothes.”

The aunt, who was holding her breath inside, raised her snow-white, sharp jaw and grunted.

Little DouDing pulled on his pants leg to climb up, yelling, “Big brother big brother, I saw my sister secretly hiding and crying yesterday.”

The melon faced Xu Ling Yue blushed.

In front of his family, it was not good to show too much intimacy, Xu Qi’an smiled at the beautiful young girl before kicking the little dudin in the air like a shuttlecock and probing his hand to hold it.

The aunt gave a start, while the little beaner giggled heartlessly.

Second Uncle froze, “You stepped into the Qi Practicing Realm.”

After receiving Xu Qi’an’s affirmation, Second Uncle revealed an old fatherly smile of relief.

In the study, Xu Qi’an briefly explained what had happened to Second Uncle and Er Lang.

There was a pang of fear in both father and son.

Xu New Year scrutinized his cousin, “Why would the Eldest Princess send someone to follow you?”

I also want to know …. Xu Qi’an gives a guess: “Perhaps I was the only one among the outsiders who were at the academy that day?”

On the day that the vision occurred in the Sub-Saint Academy Palace, the Rapunzel was also in the academy, and it was impossible for her not to pay attention to the matter, so it was reasonable to keep an eye on the only outsider on that day.

Xu New Year said in a deep voice: “The Rapunzel’s mind is very deep, she not only studied for many years in Yunlu Academy, and Wei Yuan is half of the master-disciple relationship. Her chess skills are superb, recommending you as a night watchman is by no means a spur-of-the-moment casual game.

“Big brother need not be surprised if he is summoned by her in the future, remember to be careful and cautious.”

Xu Qi’an let out a ‘hmm’.

Being able to be so valued and scorned by the high-minded Xu Ru Lao showed that this Elder Princess was not a simple character.

When Xu New Year finished, he suddenly raised his chin and said, “I stepped into the Body Cultivation Realm.”

I’ve also become a master of the 8th rank of Confucianism!

Xu Qi’an was pleasantly surprised, “What’s so divine about a Confucian in the Body Cultivation realm?”

The corner of Xu New Year’s mouth picked up, “Where righteousness is concerned, though millions of people are there, I will go.”

In this moment, Xu Qi’an’s heart surged with grandeur, bursting with the courage to face thousands of troops alone.

This inexplicable courage lasted for a quarter of an hour before it slowly dissipated.

“Cultivation is the process of sharpening one’s literary guts, and Confucians in this realm are convincing in every word and action. For example, big brother just now felt that what I said made sense, so unconsciously he would follow it. In the future, when I join the court as an official, I will not be any worse than you in deciding cases.”

No, I rely on real skill, you rely on cheating! Xu Qi Xin said.

This is equivalent to a Courage Buff, the prototype of Words Follow Law ….. Xu Qi’an’s eyes lit up as he and his second uncle exchanged glances, the former saying, “Resignation, big brother has treated you well…”

“Scram!” Xu New Year didn’t wait for him to finish and whisked his sleeve away.

Crude martial artists.

…..

Xu Qi’an went back to his own small courtyard and caught up on his sleep.

Suddenly, he awoke inexplicably, and the source of his alarm was the small jade mirror hidden under his pillow.

On the jade mirror, a small line appeared:

[Nine: Where are you?
