Yi Xiao Chuan

Chapter 37
When Yixiao and Lanyue arrived at Qinyaotang, they saw Qi Fei and the other three were already waiting.Hearing Jian look up and down at Yixiao and Lanyue who came in, he nodded and praised: "Not bad, not bad, you really look like a scholar."

Lanyue raised her head proudly, "That is, if the master didn't let me learn martial arts, you might not be my opponent!"

"Yes, Moon Lancer, please come forward!" Ting Jian made a gesture of invitation, and led the two of them outside the door.

A carriage had already been prepared at the gate, Yixiao and Lanyue took the carriage, and the other three rode horses, guarding the carriage and moving forward.

I felt that the carriage hadn't traveled very far, and stopped after turning a few blocks.

Tingjian picked up the curtain of the car, and asked Yixiao and Lanyue to get out of the car. "Here we are, two young masters, please get out of the car!"

Lanyue jumped down by herself, looked around again, and then looked at the plaque in front of her, and said in surprise: "Isn't this an academy?"

When Yi Xiao took a closer look, he found that this place was indeed different from the place he had been to before, but there was clearly a large inscription "Qunfang Building" written on the plaque here. Looking at the handwriting, it is free and easy, with profound skills. It should be a famous official. question.

Seeing Yi Xiao's puzzled look, Qi Fei smiled and said, "Go in, this is the real Qunfang Building!"

The inside of the building is really like an academy. In the central hall, small long dark red tables are placed neatly. There are not many wines and food on the tables, but there are pens and ink on them.Guests take off their shoes and sit on the floor.There are elegant rooms on both sides.

Yi Xiao was curious: "Is this eating or reading, which is neither fish nor fowl!"

The melodious sound of the piano came, and directly in front of the hall, a woman in red was bowing her head, playing a piece of "Xijiang Moon" by You'an.The crisp sound of the piano flowed out from the woman's hands, caressing the surrounding table walls, like a trickle, flowing straight into the eardrums of Yi Xiao and the others, nourishing the heart.The sound of the piano is so beautiful, the girl's piano is really wonderful.This place is indeed elegant and quiet, but it is too confusing.

A young man came here a long time ago, "Young master brought friends here today, but it's still the same place?"

Qi Fei nodded, "Please follow me." After the young man finished speaking, he walked to the front and led the way.

Everyone followed the young man to the second floor and turned into an Accord.Yi Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at the signboard at the door: Jingyuexuan, beside the three words there is a crescent moon and two or three whirling bamboo shadows.It is said to be an Accord, but it is clearly a study.Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are all available, and there are literati calligraphy and paintings on the walls.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Ting Jian said with a smile: "You really think that our master went to the Qunfang Building, the Beauty's Nest! No, no."

"Why is such a good academy called Qunfang Building?" Yi Xiao expressed his doubts.

Qi Fei asked everyone to sit down, and then he said calmly: "There was a Tanhua from Huju City, surnamed Wang, who is now the prince and grand teacher in the court. The villagers built this Tanhua Building to show their glory. Many sons come here, firstly, to admire the glory of the sages, secondly, to find a way to go to Beijing for refuge. Thirdly, if they show their talents here and have good poems, they will be recorded by the shopkeeper and assembled into a book If you are appreciated, you may be recommended as an official in the next year. Therefore, not only the students from Huju City come here, but also the officials from other places who have traveled thousands of miles to come here."

Yi Xiao nodded, and then asked: "Since it is Tanhualou, why did you change its name? Qunfanglou?"

Ting Jian answered first: "It's not that simple. Tanhua refers to Taishi Wang alone. There is more than one Tanhua who walked out of this building? Naturally, a hundred schools of thought are contending, and the crowd is competing for beauty, so it was renamed Qunfang Building."

So it was so, Yi Xiao nodded silently.Who is the woman playing the piano downstairs?

Ting Jian smiled mysteriously: "This is exactly the original intention of my master to invite you here."

Qi Fei smiled and said: "The girls playing the piano here are girls from Jiaosifang, most of them are the daughters of criminal officials who have been deprived of their official positions. To be able to come here, they must be skilled in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Then Miss Ling Xiao is also a family member of the guilty minister?"

"She played the piano here before, but she has no chance to come here to play the piano after going to another Qunfang Tower. Do you understand?" Qi Fei continued to explain.

In this way, Yi Xiao seemed to understand Qi Fei's intentions.I felt the doubts in Yi Xiao and Qi Zhao's hearts, so let's dispel their worries before returning to Beijing!
"Good intentions!" Yi Xiao said silently in his heart.

"Moon on the West River" downstairs is still going on.I saw a poorly dressed official come in and sit directly on the farthest seat.The waiter came forward to bring a jug of sake, and there were no other dishes.But seeing that this person didn't talk to anyone else, he started drinking on his own.

"Is the wine here free of charge? Can such a down-and-out official come here?" Lanyue asked curiously.

"Hehe, how can there be a free lunch in the world? This one is just self-confident, and he wants to leave his poems after drinking. If the boss thinks that the poems are mediocre and not worth the wine, he still needs to pay for it!" Qi Fei explained.

Right now, the official has a bitter look on his face, it seems that he has encountered some difficulties.Could it be that you are underappreciated?
Seeing Yi Xiao's curiosity, Qi Zhao picked up his wine glass, drank it down, stared at the glass and said, "Don't look at the surface in everything, and don't show sympathy. You don't know who is really down and who has other ideas. Picture! The morals of the world are sinister, be careful!"

Yixiao and Lanyue sound reasonable, after all, they have just left the mountain, so it is always right to be more careful in everything.Isn't the Qunfang Building that I thought was just superficial?Who knew that this place used to be a gathering place for literati and officials. Qi Fei came here mostly to complete the night reading requirements of the patriarch!
Thinking of this, several people toasted together.The sound of the piano downstairs stopped, and the officials rushed to compose poems, singing and drinking, so lively!

The wine is slightly drunk, and the moon has already set to the west.Five people came out and slowly returned to Qinyaotang.Ting Jian took the opportunity to say a few words in Lanyue's ear, and Lanyue nodded slightly.

Thoughts of parting are still vaguely lingering between the eyebrows, but at this time there are no words to describe it.

Early the next morning, Qi Zhao, Qi Fei and Ting Jian went out.The old shopkeeper sent it to the door, carefully instructing: "Three sons, be careful on the road, the merchants who come and go say that the road is not safe. Just take the official road, don't be greedy and take the remote path."

Qi Zhao smiled slightly: "The old shopkeeper is too worried, I'm afraid those robbers won't show up, otherwise we can just eliminate harm for the people!"

The old shopkeeper withdrew the smile on his face, "Don't be too troublesome, so I can take care of your uncle, he doesn't know martial arts."

Qi Zhao secretly wanted to laugh, Master uncle doesn't know martial arts?You are joking, I, Qi Zhao and Ting Jian, combined, are not equal to one or two of him. If we really want to fight, it is uncertain who will protect whom!But when he returned to Beijing, he had to become a useless scholar.

"Don't worry, old shopkeeper, I've made a note!" Qi Zhao still agreed to the old shopkeeper, lest the old man make any more nagging.

The patient brother prepared the carriage and waited at the door.

Yixiao and Lanyue took a small package and walked into Qinyao Hall.Seeing the two of them, Qi Zhao turned his head to Qi Fei and said, "Hey, you're here for the snacks, so you can set off with peace of mind!"

Yi Xiao put the small package in Qi Fei's hands, "I wish the uncle and the two senior brothers a safe journey!"

Qi Fei received the package, his eyes bent into crescent moons, "You guys also take care, and discuss things with the old shopkeeper. Wait for me to come back and test your experience results!"

"It's getting late, let's go!" The old shopkeeper urged everyone.

The horse's hooves clicked, the carriage slipped away, and in the sky far above the carriage, a falcon spread its wings and flew!
"Ling'er." Qi Fei's voice came from behind the car.

Yi Xiao remembered that he seemed to see Ling'er in front of the window in the morning, but he was busy preparing something for the uncle in white, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Lanyue came back and grabbed the little carrier pigeon, "Good boy, let me see what message that weird uncle left for sister!"

A small note was handed to Yi Xiao, "Sister, read it for yourself!"

Yi Xiao unfolded the small note, and saw that it read:

Dawn rises from the sky,
Don't have egrets fly.

Yizi thought in my heart,
Xiaohan should keep it.

It turned out to be a farewell poem by the uncle in white!
Lanyue's little head also came up, "Sister, it seems to be a poem with a hidden beginning and a hidden tail. When it is combined, it is Xiaobie Yixiao, Qi Fei read it. Could it be that the name of the uncle in white is Qi Fei? It's a very nice name! "

"Qi Fei, this name really fits with Master Uncle Bai." Yi Xiao felt sweet in his heart.Doesn't this poem say it all?It's rare that he left a letter to himself before he left!
The identity of the white-clothed uncle is definitely not ordinary, either rich or noble around Xiao Han!Or after the important officials in the court!
In the car, Qi Fei opened the package, which was preserved fruit made by Yi Xiao himself.Qi Fei picked one up and put it in his mouth.Squint your eyes and enjoy the deliciousness in your mouth.

The car drove out of the city.

　The prince's teachers are divided into civil and military, with civil as a teacher and martial as a teacher.Therefore, Liberal Arts Tanhua is the prince's master. It should be the prince's master. I accidentally wrote it as Taifu before, so I made a special revision.
