54 Chapter 54-cutting off the beard (1)

Xu Erlang was silent. Xu Pingzhi stared at the middle-aged man and shook his head.”It was just a Limerick. I heard that the young master said that his calligraphy is rusty and he can’t write well, so I asked this young master to help me write it.”

Second uncle Xu was an experienced man. He acted like a bystander and drew a clear line between him and his nephew and son.

Everyone immediately looked at Xu niannian. Xu Erlang snorted coldly and didn’t bother to answer them.

His attitude made the middle-aged man who asked the question feel angry and embarrassed, and he returned to his original position.

Xu Pingzhi, who had originally wanted to stay the night, secretly gave his son a look, and the two of them left the yingmei Pavilion one after another.

“It’s not good to stay in there. It won’t be good if people find out that the three of us have a relationship.” Xu Pingzhi was teaching his son.

“I understand,” Xu niannian nodded and shivered in the cold wind.

There was a charcoal fire in the house to keep warm, and once it came out, the temperature difference was huge, making people shiver.

Xu Pingzhi looked at his son and said, “”If we were to stay in the small pavilion of yingmei, those servants … One tael of silver would be enough.

‘I can only go to the courtyard to find other women now …’ If you’re not a maid, the base price is five taels of silver, including the money for the tea stall.”

At this point, Xu Pingzhi paused. He saw that his son didn’t ask him why he knew so much.

While he found it strange, he also heaved a sigh of relief.

Second uncle Xu took out an ingot of official silver from his pocket. It was standard silver, and each ingot was five taels.

“Erlang, you can take the silver.”

The Xu family had gone bankrupt because of the tax money case. Even though a month had passed and Xu Pingzhi had managed to get some silver through shady channels, they were still relatively short of money.

Second uncle Xu didn’t think that his son would be able to take out five taels of silver.

Xu niannian was slightly moved and said in a low voice, “”Father, what about you?”

Second uncle Xu smiled nonchalantly and said, ” when father was in the essence refinement realm, he was not afraid of the cold or the heat. Even if he slept by the roadside for a night, it would not be a problem. Your body can’t stand the cold wind at night.”

Xu niannian’s hands were hidden in his sleeves, and his back was slightly bent. He endured the cold night wind and stared at the five taels of silver in a daze. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, ”

“I don’t want to.”

Second uncle Xu insisted that his son accept it.

Between the pulling and pulling, with a clatter, an official silver ingot fell out of Xu nianxin’s pocket. It was exactly five taels.

….. The father and son looked at the silver on the ground and fell into silence.

On the other side, the servant girl pushed open the door of the master bedroom and motioned for Xu Qi ‘an to enter, but she did not intend to go in.

“Young master yang, please enter!”

The moment the barrier door opened, a warm fragrance hit his face. The ground was covered with an expensive silk robe. Not only was it expensive, but it also consumed a lot of manpower.

The robe was embroidered with Green Lotus flowers and auspicious clouds.

The woman walked on it, each step like a lotus. The official walked on it, and it was a meteoric rise.

She was very thoughtful.

A triple-layered screen that was a copy of the famous painting ” painting of rain hitting the banana leaves ” separated the sleeping area and the brocade Hall. A beautiful young woman knelt on a small bed in front of the screen, and a Phoenix-tailed zither was placed on the small bed.

She was wearing a thin chiffon dress, and her Jade-like skin was faintly visible. She was looking at the door with a smile.

Their eyes met, and she lowered her head slightly, a shy smile on her lips.

The gentleness when she lowered her head was like the shyness of a lotus flower that could not stand the cold wind … This line appeared in Xu Qi ‘an’s mind.

When drinking, she was as elegant as a lady from a noble family, but when she was by the side of the bed, she was charming and seductive.

This was a bewitching technique that only the women of the Imperial Academy could cultivate.

Xu Qi ‘an had two heads, one big.

“Young master?” “Why are you looking at me like that, young master?” Hua kui laughed foolishly.

Xu Qi ‘an sighed. I’ve long heard that miss Fu Xiang is a rare beauty. I didn’t believe it before, but now I do. Even if you say that lady floating fragrance is the number one beauty in the world, I would believe you.”

“Young master yang, please don’t make fun of this servant.” Fu Xiang pursed her lips and lowered her head shyly. Her eyes were full of smiles, clearly very happy.

……

In the tea room next door, young master Zhao drank an entire pot of tea. His bladder protested twice, and on the third time, he finally couldn’t take it anymore.

Was he here to drink tea?

Young master Zhao left the teahouse with a belly full of complaints and walked towards the master bedroom. However, he was stopped by a maidservant at the door.

“I’ve been waiting in the tea room for a long time, why hasn’t miss fuxiang seen me yet?” Young master Zhao questioned the maidservant.

“Young master Zhao, please don’t blame me. Wifey has already chosen someone else.” The servant girl replied.

“!!!”Young master Zhao felt as if his head was struck by lightning, and he was filled with anger as he shouted, ”

“Lady Fu Xiang has clearly chosen me, so why did you suddenly change your mind? are you just making fun of me? If you don’t give me an explanation, don’t blame this young master for being impolite.”

His fierce tone and sinister words made the maidservant a little scared, and she subconsciously wanted to call for the servants in the courtyard.

“Ping ‘er, since young master Zhao isn’t convinced, you can take Shi out and let him see.”

The courtesan’s charming voice came from inside the house.

The maidservant cautiously looked at young master Zhao, then opened the door to a gap that could only allow one person to pass through, and flashed in.

A few seconds later, she flashed out again and handed the paper to young master Zhao.

The latter took it and glanced at it. The angry expression on his face froze and slowly melted away. It was replaced by shock, shock, and disbelief.

He stood there for a long time before he loosened his fingers and the paper fell to the ground.

……

The guests outside were shocked to find that young master Zhao had actually come out.

Finished?

Young master Zhao’s expression made them realize that something was wrong. He had been chased out.

“Brother Zhao, what’s wrong with you?” A young man of the same age, dressed like a scholar, immediately stepped forward. He looked concerned, but was actually gossiping.

Not long after the maidservant had called that yang guy away, young master Zhao came out in a daze.

It was obvious that someone had stolen the peony flower.

Young master Zhao, who was wearing a green robe, slowly scanned the crowd and muttered, “”I lost. I’m convinced of my loss.”

“What happened? lost? Where did you start?”

“Brother Zhao, that person wrote a poem, right? what kind of poem could make lady floating fragrance break the rules?”

“Hurry up and tell me, I’m so anxious.”

The customers all gathered around.

Young master Zhao acted as if he didn’t hear anything, and as he walked out, he muttered:”All the beauties shake down du xuyan …”

Everyone’s hearts trembled, knowing that he was reciting the poem just now.

“….. Full of amorous feelings towards the little garden.”

At this moment, young master Zhao had already walked into the courtyard. The guests couldn’t help but follow behind him and listen.

“The water is clear and shallow, and the fragrance is floating in the evening …”

The customers didn’t follow and stayed where they were. The air fell into a brief silence.

For a long time, no one spoke.

After an unknown period of time, a student’s eyes were filled with tears, and his lips trembled. once this poem is out, it will embarrass all those who sing about plum blossoms for thousands of years … Everyone, this little one will take his leave first, this little one will go to other places to have tea and spread the poem.”

“This one will also take his leave. How can I miss out on making a name for myself in the poetry world?”

The guests dispersed in a hubbub, and they couldn’t wait to participate in the tea competition in the courtyard. Then, they would throw out this poem to amaze the world.
