My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 133
[Chapter 133 Wuxian Garden]
Chenyi Palace.
“Did he agree?”
Su Mochen asked, sitting at the table and pouring Kung Fu tea.
“Yes, His Majesty just sent someone to ask. They came back and told me immediately. The third prince of Southern Qi agreed on the spot!”
“Well, just agree!”
Su Mochen continued without stopping. Pouring the tea, not much emotion can be seen.
Guizhi continued: “I heard that the third prince of the Southern Qi Dynasty is also very good at literary and military strategies. As a prince, he must be very conceited, so it is normal for him to agree.”
After speaking, he glanced at Su Mochen and said, Seeing that she was still concentrating on pouring tea, as if she hadn’t heard what she said, he said worriedly: “Your Highness, did you hear it? Guizhi can guess what you are thinking, but you can be sure that Mr. Jing will definitely attend. Mid-Autumn Poetry Party?”
After being exposed, Su Mochen’s cheeks turned red, but he still bit his lip and said, “Of course!”
Then he explained, “Guizhi, we have been with him for more than half a month, don’t you see? Does it mean he likes to watch the excitement?”
Guizhi tilted his head and thought about it. That’s true. The first time they met was at a place like Chunshui Tower. Logically speaking, when he came to Jingzhou, he met something like the Mid-Autumn Poetry Club again. This is a huge event once a year, there is no reason not to attend.
But the key question now is –
“But Your Highness, we are not sure whether he has come to Jingzhou now, so how can we guarantee that he can participate in the poetry meeting? If he doesn’t participate, wouldn’t he be putting himself on the line?”
Su Mo Chen shook his head and analyzed, “He has always wanted to come to Jingzhou to take the imperial examination in order to gain fame. But after delaying in Yongzhou for so long, the imperial examination has already ended. If he wants to gain fame again, he can only pass the poetry competition! Mid-Autumn Poetry Competition Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he has such talent, why not participate?”
After saying that, he didn’t forget to ask: “By the way, I asked you to ask someone, have you asked?”
Guizhi shook his head repeatedly: ” Guizhi is worried just because he didn’t ask! I sent people to not only check all the inns in Jingzhou City, but also the brothels, but they haven’t seen him yet. “
Did you ask about Jing Zhe’s name? He is very cunning. He would not dare to enter the palace if he escaped in the middle. If he sneaked into Jingzhou, he would not dare to use his real name – you asked them A Kun. “
Your Highness, I asked too, but no!”
“…”
At this time, Su Mochen was a little confused.
It has been three or four days since they returned to Jingzhou. Logically speaking, even if he was slower, he should have arrived in these two days, right? Why can’t it be found?
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He pouted and said angrily: “If you can’t find it, you can’t find it. In the worst case, I’ll marry to Nan Qi! Anyway, he said that he won’t miss me if he doesn’t see me!”
“…”

“If you want to truly understand a city, the fastest way is to understand its nightlife!”
Walking on the streets of Jingzhou, Jing Zhe imparted his experience to Hanhan in a serious manner.
Hanhan looked at the vendors’ stalls on both sides of the street and nodded frequently.
“Young village leader is right, I understand!”
You know nothing!
Jing Zhe chuckled in his heart, then asked around, and led Hanhan to a door called “Wuxianyuan”.
It is said that Wuxianyuan is a property opened in Jingzhou by Wuxian Pavilion, one of the four major sects, and is very different from Xunchang brothel.
Most of the people who come here to spend money are literati. They make friends with each other through literature and exchange poems.
Although there are many beautiful women in Wuxian Garden, they do not engage in flesh-and-blood transactions. They only play the piano and sing music in the garden, adding to the interest of writing poems and lyrics.
Logically speaking, Jing Zhe would disdain to come to a place like this. Compared to a brothel, it was too elegant and not interesting.
He would rather go to a place where girls stand outside the door waving pink handkerchiefs and shouting “Young Master, come in and have fun” with fireworks. It’s better to enjoy the experience than to listen to some mountain cannon bragging here.
Yes, in his eyes, the scholars of this era are at the level of mountain cannons…
But I came out today not to look for flowers or to satisfy my eyes, but to have something serious to do.
So he and Hanhan walked in.
Wuxian Garden is indeed the property of Wuxian Pavilion. It is not as low-end as Jing Zhe imagined, just like an ordinary brothel with only one flower building. The main building has three floors and is exquisitely decorated. The courtyard behind the main building is amazing, it is the size of four or five main buildings.
There are rows of pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, the garden rockery and running water are faint, and there are many sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the middle of the courtyard. The golden flowers exude a refreshing fragrance in the night, which makes people relaxed and happy.
If it weren’t for the fact that this was Goulan, Jing Zhe, who came here for the first time, would probably have thought it was some prince’s mansion.
There are many people in the lobby of the main building, but it is not noisy.
The people in the hall were well-dressed and talked elegantly. When passing by them, from time to time, they could hear conversations such as poetry. Jing Zhe felt that it was not interesting, so he came to sit down in the corner, stared at the crowds of people in the hall, and began to think about what to do next. Actions.
“Sir, please pay the seat fee.”
Not long after we sat down, a waiter came over.
Different from the waiters Jing Zhe had seen in Yongzhou who could tell he was a servant just by looking at his clothes, this man was wearing a white stand-up robe with the word “immortal” embroidered on his chest, which made people look a little weird.
But after thinking about it for a moment, it becomes clear.
Because Wuxian Garden is the property of Wuxian Pavilion, the clerks in the garden are naturally the disciples of Wuxian Pavilion, and they should wear the uniforms of Wuxian Pavilion.
But Jing Zhe doesn’t understand what the “seat fee” means?
Is it possible that you need money just to come in and sit down?
Isn’t this too dark?
In his time, let alone sitting down, no one dared to care about the uncle or aunt sleeping in the home furnishing hall. Someone came to charge him as soon as his butt was seated, so he had to ask carefully.
After listening to Jing Zhe’s question, the waiter was not angry: “This must be your first time to come to Wuxian Garden, right? Everyone who enters the garden has to pay a seat fee regardless of whether they sit or not. Every inch of land in Jingzhou is precious, and we have no money.” Xian Pavilion has opened such a large elegant garden here. If everyone comes in and sits without paying, what can they eat and drink in the huge Wuxian Pavilion? “
Jing Zhe thought about it right. There are no girls here, and they only make money. He could rely on selling some tea, wine and seating fees, and he didn’t want to embarrass him any more, so he asked, “How much is the seating fee?”
“One tael of silver.”
“One tael of silver?”
Jing Zhe exclaimed in surprise.
Wherever he looked, there were more than a hundred people coming, and each person had one tael. He could earn hundreds of taels in a day without selling anything. This store was really dark!
“Sir, the one tael of silver is just for payment in advance. We will register you in the register. If the master wants drinks later, the money will be deducted from it. The remaining silver can be collected from us when the master leaves!”
The guy said calmly.
