Taiping Inn

The Hundred Flowers Club is a gathering within the Vientiane Academy. The location is just like watching the moon on August 15th. I chose to be on the observatory. According to legend, there was a sorcerer who was observing the stars here to calculate the general trend of the world, which was named after it.

Not far from the observatory is Hoshino Lake. There is a large open space between the mountains and lakes, full of flowers and flowers. In addition to peonies, there are also peach blossoms, daffodils, welcoming spring, spring, auspicious fragrance, camellia, and white magnolia. Purple magnolia, Clivia, Eunuch, Begonia, Peony, Azalea, and Azalea. At this time, all flowers bloom in one place, red like fire, pink like clouds, and white like snow, which is a grand view.

The students of the academy called their friends and climbed to the observatory one after another to appreciate the blooming of flowers together. There is no place to sit on the observatory, and scholars or students either sit on the ground or bring their own blankets. There are even students with rich family backgrounds who prepare wine, pastries and other things.

Today, there are nearly a thousand people who are climbing the mountain, and they are sitting in a row. But today is different from previous years. The perfect viewing place with the widest viewing area. According to principles, it should be the Grand Priest of the Academy and sit in the audience and enjoy the flowers with many students. However, the location of the Grand Priest of the National Priest today is indeed empty. None of the three high-ranking priests came.

Pei Yu sat next to Su Lianrong and said, "This is the first time I have seen this Hundred Flowers Club. I wonder if Su Jijiu has any advice?"

"But I want to disappoint Mr. Pei." Su Lianrong said lightly. Pei Yu did not know Su Lianrong's identity, and Su Lianrong did not know Pei Yu's identity, so Su Lianrong only regarded Pei Yu as an ordinary playboy disciple, and I don't care much, "It's the first time I've been to the Hundred Flowers Club, and there's nothing to teach."

Wen Li, who was sitting on the other side of Su Lianrong, was very proud when she heard this, and said to herself, "Liangrong never attended the Hundred Flowers Conference before. The reason why she made an exception this time was not because I took the initiative to invite her. This was to give me face and I was unwilling to do so. I was distorted by my will and treated me differently."

Thinking of this, Wen Li looked at Pei Yu again, and his eyes showed a little contempt and disdain, as if he was mocking Pei Yu for overestimating his abilities.

But Wen Li didn't know that the reason why Su Lianrong made an exception and agreed to his invitation was because Wen Li revealed extremely critical news to her. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she was suspected of using Wen Li and felt a little disgusted. . The second reason is that Su Lianrong didn't want to get too involved with Wen Li at that time, and she also had some intention of dealing with it. After all, she was attending the Hundred Flowers Conference, not the two of them had a tryst.

Pei Yu noticed Wen Li's gaze, felt a little uncomfortable, and thought to himself: "You have a family, and you are still coming to Su everyone. Do you want Su everyone to be your concubine? Or are you divorced again after you're married? Marry? You can't just make a fuss and have no status. Let everyone in Su be your outdoor room? Then you are too beautiful, I'm afraid that my master will not dare to have such an idea."

Thinking of the master, it is inevitable that he will remember the master's wife. Pei Yu hurriedly claimed the crime in his heart: "Master, don't blame me, don't blame me, I have no other intentions. You two elders will definitely grow old together, and you will be a pair of people in your life, and you will be like this even if your fairy couple is just like this."

Although Li Xuan never officially admitted that Pei Yu was his disciple, everyone in the inn thought so, and even Pei Yu thought so. Since Li Xuan was both a master, then the master's wife was naturally Qin Su.

When Su Lianrong saw that Pei Yu suddenly stopped talking, she was slightly lost and did not think deeply, and did not care about what Wen Li was thinking, but focused on watching the flowers all over the mountains.

After a moment, Pei Yu came to his senses and said, "Su Jijiu, do you know Mr. Qingping?"

Su Lianrong was stunned, alert in her heart. She didn't know whether Pei Yu was deliberately trying or what. However, she thought about it. Li Xuandu and Qin Su visited Sikong Priest last time to visit the Vientiane Palace, so she made connections with her. The senior priests also knew about Qin Su helping her escape from the imperial capital and coming to the Wanxiang Academy. If she deliberately said she didn't know each other, she would seem guilty, so she nodded and admitted, "I met once."

Pei Yu is already responsible for spying on the secrets of Taoism from Li Xuandu. This is something that several high-ranking priests of the Sheji Academy and the Wanxiang Academy know about it, so he is not afraid of being suspected and said, "I heard that Mr. Qingping is coming soon." I am about to come to Longmen Mansion. I want to visit me. I wonder if Su Jijiu wants to go with me?"

Su Lianrong showed a hesitant look on her face, "It's probably inappropriate at this time."

Wen Li had already wanted to speak, so he seized the opportunity and said, "Pei Yu, Mr. Qingping is incompatible with my Confucian school. What is your intention to see him at this time?"

"Wen Jijiu's words are wrong." Pei Yu said seriously: "My ancestor and I returned to our hometown from the imperial capital, but were intercepted and killed by Qingluanwei and Qingyang Sect on the way. Thanks to Mr. Qingping's actions, we were able to escape danger. Zu You’s husband often teaches me to be grateful. Is it a mistake for me to visit my life-savior?”

Wen Li snorted coldly: "Personal grievances are trivial matters, and maintaining the Confucian tradition is the great righteousness. If you want to choose from it, you naturally have to be great righteousness first."

"No, no." Pei Yu shook his head and said, "It is precisely because I, Pei Yu, have to go to pay homage to my life-savior openly at this time. It is precisely because of this that I want to invite Su Jijiu to go with me. Be a testimony.”

Wen Li was very upset when he saw him bringing the topic to Su Lianrong again. He was not suspicious that Pei Yu was really good at coping with enemies, but he felt that this boy was full of colorful things and was really hateful, and said, "Your life-savior is at ease." What's wrong with Su Jijiu? Why do you need to get Su Jijiu?"

Pei Yu pretended to be surprised and said, "Don't you know that Su Jijiu had a friendship with the Sect Master Qin back then."

Wen Li looked at Su Lianrong in surprise.

Su Lianrong nodded slightly, "Miss Qin is a person who likes music. We made friends with piano back then, but later, King Jin... Thanks to Miss Qin's help, I was able to escape from the imperial capital. Otherwise, I would be a weak woman, how about He could escape the devil's claws of King Jin. Several high-ranking priests also knew about this. "

Wen Li heard that the three high priests were also aware of the situation, so he relieved all his suspicions, secretly annoyed why he was so careless. He didn't even know how Su came to the Wanxiang Academy clearly, and he was not as good as Pei Yu.

Su Lianrong hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master Pei is right. Since it is an old friend and benefactor coming, if we deliberately avoid it, it is contrary to the teachings of the saints, and it is a shame that we feel guilty, as if there is something. Shameful things."

Wen Li saw that everyone Su was moved by the boy Pei Yu, so he hurriedly remedy: "Mr. Qingping and Miss Qin are people in the world after all, and there are many people in the world who come with them, and they are mixed with each other, so there are no rush. For a moment, it would be not too late to meet again after the situation was clear."

Su Lianrong looked hesitant and said, "Wen Jijiu said something makes sense."

Pei Yu suddenly laughed and said, "If you want me to say that it is better to not see each other than to meet like this, to shrink back and weigh the pros and cons, and there is no point in sincerity."

Wen Li's face suddenly darkened and she said, "What do you mean?"

Pei Yu said tit-for-tat: "A real man is open and upright, behaves well, and sits upright, not afraid of others making trouble. If he is careful, plots carefully, and is afraid that he will be criticized, then he must be a ghost in his heart. What a real man?"

Wen Li couldn't hold back her face and said angrily: "Boy Pei, what did you say?"

Pei Yu smiled and said, "I didn't name it. Who wants to get the right name?"

Wen Li blushed and was about to speak, Su Lianrong had already stood up and looked impatient. "You two should argue first. I'll go for a walk next door and I won't bother you."

After saying that, Su Lianrong went straight without waiting for the two of them to respond. Only Wen Li and Pei Yu were still sitting in the distance, staring at each other through an empty cushion. But it was not good for both of them to chase Su Lianrong in front of so many people. Moreover, with Su Lianrong's temperament, if anyone is entangled, she will definitely make her feel disgusted, and it will be worth it.

Su Lianrong left the place where everyone gathered and walked towards the remote place. Her life decreased along the way and the fragrance of flowers became stronger, which made her feel relaxed and happy. She felt that her mood was wide open and many troubles were dissipated.

When Qin Su sent someone to contact her and asked her to join the "Taiping Inn". She was very happy with Pei Yu. She had hesitated. When she left the imperial capital, she was tired of these things and wanted to spend the rest of her life quietly. , but there are two reasons for her. One is Qin Su's kindness. Although Qin Su did not force her to be favored, she requested, or did not do it all because of Su Lianrong, and only asked Su Lianrong if she did not agree. , don’t leak the inn matters, but Su Lianrong is not a person who knows her kindness but does not repay her. She always remembers this kindness in her heart. Another reason is that Su Lianrong also understands that with the intensification of the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, the Wanxiang Academy is not a pure land after all. She is a lonely and weak woman. If she wants to gain a foothold in troubled times, she must have a choice. She is not Lu Yanbing, and she does not have the ability and capital to sway with the wind.

For this reason, Su Lianrong finally chose to join Taiping Inn and became a Tianzi clerk of the "join" group. She belonged to Qin Su, and Qin Su never took the initiative to ask her to do anything, but only asked her to protect herself. The rest is just a matter of opportunity and she can consider the pros and cons by herself. She had previously sent a letter to Taiping Mountain, which was her own decision, not Qin Su's request.

Since she joined the "Taiping Inn", Su Lianrong began to think about the problem from the inn's standpoint. Who is this Pei Yu? He kept saying that Li Xuan was his life-saving benefactor and a disciple of the Sheji Academy. She also heard about Pei Yu’s actions, which was not much different from those scholars who talked about them.

So why did Pei Yu have to meet Li Xuandu at this pass? Just for kindness? Su Lianrong didn't think Pei Yu had that kind of open-mindedness. Then Su Lianrong thought of a possibility that Pei Yu was a spy from the Confucian sect, and they wanted to use the relationship between Pei Yu and Li Xuandu to put Pei Yu next to Li Xuandu.

Thinking of this, Su Lianrong was shocked and immediately thought of sending a message to Li Xuandu to ask him to be careful of Pei Yu, but when she was about to turn around and go back, she found that there was a body standing not far behind her. The old man wearing a black crane buckle.
