0157. Self-Knowledge

To put it more carefully, the three of them committed suicide by themselves, and they chose to embarrass a poetic genius. With a casual sentence or two, they were easily nailed to the pillar of shame. In the future, no matter when and where, Whenever someone mentions the allusion of these two poems, these three people will inevitably be mentioned, and they will be regarded as stepping stones.

Of course, more people were shocked by Li Mu's poetic talent.

"Who is this young man? He is so talented in poetry. Why has he not been famous before?"

"Could he be an outsider?"

"Tonight, we may witness the birth of a poetry legend."

Some people started talking.

Lin Qiushui's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were full of resentment. He gritted his teeth and stood there for a while, and finally made a decision to recruit the short winter melon scholar. He whispered in his ear for a while and said: "Go back quickly. , you must do it and tell the teacher, this matter is related to the century-old reputation of Hanshan Academy."

The short winter melon scholar hurried away.

Liu Muyang, the chief of Fengming Academy on the side, also reacted.

He also immediately called a close classmate over and made some arrangements in a low voice.

Tonight, no matter what means are used, the situation must be reversed. Otherwise, once the news spreads, his reputation as the chief will be completely ruined, and it will also implicate Fengming Academy. This is no longer a trivial matter. It may even affect his future in the future when the empire opens a subject.

The scholar from Fengming Academy also left in a hurry.

The madman Song Qingfei had a gloomy look on his face. He stood there and didn't know what he was thinking. However, his eyes were vicious and his expression was gloomy. He was obviously not willing to accept it and was also brewing something.

Most people in the hall did not leave.

Because after seeing the performance of the chiefs of the two major academies, everyone knew that this scene was not over yet.

If the young man with the arrogant tone had no background, he would be in trouble tonight, and it would be big trouble.

…

…

The little maid opened the door and led Li Mu in.

There was a faint orchid scent in the room, which smelled very good and made people feel refreshed.

Li Mu looked around curiously.

The antique room is fully furnished, and they are all light-colored wooden utensils with extremely exquisite carvings and vivid carvings. There are no obvious feminine features. The only feature is that there are many books.

There are bookshelves on the left and right walls. They are filled with all kinds of books. You can even smell the faint scent of ink. Li Mu's eyes are so sharp. He can tell at a glance that those books are not just decorations. , but it has been read frequently. Although it is well protected, the edges of the pages are worn.

All this shows that the owner of the room is a good book, a book lover, and a person who loves reading.

In addition to the abundance of books, another characteristic of the room is the abundance of flowers.

It was a kind of lavender blue flower. There were dozens of pots of various sizes, placed in different locations in the room. Most of them had bloomed and sprouted. The flowers and leaves were slender, and the branches were soft and swaying gently, making it look so beautiful. People couldn't help but feel a sense of pity in their hearts. The faint floral scent in the room was emanating from the stamens of these blue flowers, and it had a unique smell.

Other than that, there are no obvious female objects.

If he hadn't already known that this was the boudoir of a brothel courtesan, Li Mu would have really thought that he was in the study of some elegant scholar who lived in seclusion.

The little maid led Li Mu through this room and into another connected room.

Here is a tea room, elegantly decorated and filled with the refreshing fragrance of tea.

A girl wearing a chest-length skirt is sitting quietly behind the tea table, making tea. Her movements are slow and flowing, and she has a unique beauty. Her hair is like clouds and as black as ink, sitting on a futon. When I went up, my ankle-length hair spread out layer by layer around me like a cloud of ink, forming a black circle.

Set against the black hair, the girl's skin is extremely white, as if it is emitting a faint fluorescent light. Her delicate oval face is as small as a piece of flawless jade, and her nose is as carved by an art master. Delicate and moist, the mouth is like a cherry...

For a moment, Li Mu felt like he was losing his mind.

How can I put it this way? This girl's facial features are all exquisite to the extreme. When combined together, they don't have the kind of sharp beauty that is as beautiful as a cold weapon, but a kind, gentle and peerless beauty. The elegance makes people feel close to her.

Not murderous beauty.

But the gentle beauty.

These two sentences suddenly popped up in Li Mu's mind.

"Miss, the young master has arrived." The maid said, then she sat down obediently and started boiling water to help the girl make tea.

Li Mu knew that the girl behind the tea table was Wen Shengzhai's number one, and she loved everyone.

"Master, please sit down. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine. I would like to thank you for writing this beautiful poem in Wenshengzhai today." Hua Xiangrong spoke, her voice was soft and waxy, very pleasant, just like the wind. Like the blue flowers in the flower, it is very cherished.

Li Mu smiled, sat down, took the tea cup, tasted it briefly, and then drank it all.

When he took the teacup, he touched it with his fingers, and Li Cong felt a touch of coldness on the girl's fingertips, like a piece of ice.

After drinking tea, the atmosphere became a little dull.

Li Mu had no experience in this area and didn't know what to say.

This is, on the other side, there are wisps of light fragrance that is different from the fragrance of blue flowers, coming slowly. Li Mu took a breath subconsciously, and was slightly startled. He immediately realized that this was Hua Xiangrong's virgin body fragrance, and he couldn't help but feel... A swing.

Before time travel, he was just an ordinary junior high school student in a village on the edge of a small city. How could he have ever faced such a bright and beautiful beauty at such a close distance?

Especially in the Western Qin Dynasty, the atmosphere is open-minded. The chest-high skirts worn by women are extremely low-cut, similar to the low-cut dresses on earth. Therefore, Hua Xiangrong's white chest and clear groove line are almost within reach. The look made Li Mu, who had been pretending to be calm, gradually became a little unable to hold on and was about to blush.

He felt that facing such a charming beauty was even more stressful than facing a master like Wei Chong.

"Young Master seems to be a little embarrassed?" Hua Xiangrong opened his mouth with a smile and a picturesque look on his face.

Li Mu smiled and had nothing to hide, saying, "It's my first time in a brothel."

A trace of surprise immediately appeared in Hua Xiangrong's eyes, which immediately turned into a sly smile, and said: "Young Master's poetry talent is astonishing. Tonight, I will write a [Beauty Poetry] for me that will be sung for thousands of years. I am I am extremely grateful and have nothing to repay, so I can only make tea for you, please."

Li Mu secretly thought in his heart, shouldn't the next sentence he said with no repayment be "I have no choice but to give my life to you"? Why did she become a tea maker? This girl is beautiful, but she doesn't act according to common sense.

He had no research on tea tasting, so when he drank it, it was like a cow chewing peonies. He just drank it all in one gulp.

The maid named Xin'er shook her head as she watched. This young master had an amazing talent for poetry, but he knew nothing about etiquette and tea ceremony. It seemed that he didn't have the high-pressure aura of a romantic celebrity in the legend, but instead Like a stupid goose, he doesn't understand the style.

Hua Xiangrong didn't mean any disdain. Instead, she found it interesting and sincere. She raised her wrist lightly, poured another cup of tea for Li Mu, and said, "I don't know the master's surname yet."

Li Mu opened his mouth and almost said it.

But then he thought about it, he was just here for a stroll to broaden his horizons, and he didn’t really want to do anything. It was probably just a one-on-one relationship with this beautiful woman in front of him. The chance of having a son or something is probably low, so knowing the name doesn't mean much.

So he smiled and said: "We are both fallen people in the world. How can we meet before? I am just a nobody. I got a few words tonight, and I am lucky enough to be able to meet everyone. You and I are people from different worlds. , the name has no meaning, it is just a code name." Li Mu means that he is from the earth and will definitely go back within twenty years, so he is a person from two different worlds and will not intersect for a long time. .

Hua Xiangrong was slightly startled, but she didn't expect to get such an answer.

The maid next to her, Xiner, raised her head, with a look of great surprise on her pretty face.

However, take a closer look at Li Mu's clothes. They are made of very ordinary fabrics and there are no valuable accessories on his body. He probably does not come from a big family, not even a wealthy family. He is probably just a passerby. He is just a poor scholar, so Xin'er thinks that the content of Li Mu's emotion is probably that he feels that he comes from a humble background, and it is just a fluke that he is able to go upstairs today. In fact, he does not have the status and financial resources to match his talent. In this way, he is naturally related to My young lady is a person from two worlds.

This should be a form of self-knowledge.

Xin'er felt a little sympathy for Li Mu.

However, this little maid felt that it was a good thing that Li Mu was so self-aware.

After all, although my lady has encountered some troubles recently and was forced to open the window, it should be able to be solved. With her talent, appearance, and fame, I don’t know how many powerful people are pursuing her, and how many talented people are pursuing her. It’s optional. There is a lot of leeway. It is impossible to commit oneself to a poor scholar with no power just because of a "Beauty Poetry". After all, one's livelihood does not depend on one's poetic talent. Even if this poor scholar has been working hard for a year, he may not be able to afford it. A box of rouge from my own lady.

Originally, the little maid Xiner was worried that after Li Mu came in, he would make some rude and excessive demands, causing embarrassment. Now it seems that this can be avoided. This poor scholar is quite self-aware.

"We are both fallen people at the end of the world..." Hua Xiangrong's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but taste this poem carefully.
