Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

There are many tourists in front of the Confucius Temple, mainly literati and Confucian scholars. Most of them pray for the success of the scientific examination.The Confucius Temple is located next to Gongyuan Street. It was first built in the Song Dynasty.

Among the temples, the most lively one is the Juxing Pavilion, an ancient pavilion with eight sides and two stories. "Juxing" means gathering Kuixing to gain fame and fame.Kuixing is one of the 28 constellations and the first star of the Big Dipper.The so-called "Kuizhu article", so scholars who are about to take the provincial examination again often come here to worship Kuixing and pray for auspiciousness in order to get high school in one fell swoop.

When he came here, Kangxi also stopped to look at the scholar in the pavilion, talking loudly, standing with his hands behind his back, but he didn't enter.Wen Xi followed him, listening to the scholars' poems and discussions, and occasionally heard some radical Confucian scholar yelling at the current affairs, seeing Kangxi frowning immediately, and then listening to the rabid man clapping his hands and saying that there is the Holy Son of Heaven , Zuo Zifan, Gali and his ilk will definitely not end well.Kangxi's complexion just improved a little.

People came and went in and out of the Kuixing Pavilion, Kangxi waited and watched for a while, and then took Wen Xi to the Sile Pavilion surrounded by the shadows of beautiful trees on one side.It's quite quiet here, as soon as you enter the pavilion, there are guards in disguise at the four corners of the pavilion, and when they see someone approaching, they kindly ask them to leave.Wen Xi also noticed that there were several times more people guarding in the dark than in the light, and there were even some disguised as scholars and scholars, wandering around to check for suspicious people.

Li Dequan quickly took out the jasmine sparrow tongue that he brought out, the soup was mellow and fragrant, Wen Xi tasted it slowly, and the surrounding scenery was also nice, Wen Xi said casually: "The Confucius Temple seems to have been newly renovated."

Kangxi kept shaking his eyes and looked at the Kuixing Pavilion on the east side. "Cao Yin called on the local gentry to raise funds for repairs, and they did a good job." The tone was a little appreciative, and Cao Yin could be regarded as Kangxi's confidant, so he trusted him very much.

After chatting for half an hour, Wen Xi felt his mouth dry, so he drank two more cups of tea, and continued chatting...

An hour later, seeing that Kangxi didn't seem to have the slightest intention to move the dragon's hip, Wen Xi couldn't help pointing to the Kuixing Pavilion.With a flattering smile on his face: "Husband, why don't we go and have a look?" After finally coming to the Confucius Temple once, it is natural to go to a lively place, what's the point of staying here all the time.

Kangxi held a cup of tea in his hand, but he didn't intend to drink tea, so he gave Wen Xi a sideways look.The eyes were clear and he said, "No way!"

"Eh..." Wen Xi's face froze for a while, and he lowered his head and took another two sips of tea.

"It's convenient for me to go." Wen Xi stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth.

Kangxi was taken aback, but he couldn't refuse, and raised his face and said: "Li Dequan—"

Li Dequan hurriedly smiled and said, "Madam, I know where it is. Come here——"

Wen Xi snorted, her face a little sullen.I had no choice but to move the lotus steps, and let Li Dequan lead the way to "conveniently" pass.Wen Xi now knows why Kangxi chose Sile Ting. This place is hidden, and it is only a cup of tea away from a "convenient" place. Kangxi even thought of urination!

After being "convenient", Wen Xi took the powder from Zhu'er and sprinkled it on herself.After removing the smell, he took out a small mirror painted with gold and chiseled flowers from his sleeve.According to the rationale cloud sideburns.

Li Dequan licked his face and came closer, said with a smile: "Madam, let's go back, or the master is in a hurry and will send someone to look for it."

Wen Xi hummed depressingly, what was the purpose of coming out?Is it just to come out and find a place to drink tea and chat with Lao Kang?If I had known earlier, I might as well not have come out!

Suddenly, there was a faintly familiar voice from the opposite bushes, "You little thief! Stop!" Then it seemed that the "little thief" she was talking about was caught. Hearing the voice of a young man, he eagerly argued: "I'm not a thief!" Another soft and gentle female voice said, "Sixth sister, this is not good..."

Then, there was a ripping sound, the sound of silk and satin being torn.

The corner of Wen Xi's mouth twitched twice, what a coincidence!He hastily pushed aside the willow branches and went to have a look.Under a strong willow tree, Yu Ludai, who was dressed in a dark blue curly grass pattern men's clothing, was grabbing the sleeve of a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the sleeve was forcibly torn from his shoulder.Fortunately, the young man wore more than one piece of clothing, and there was also a water-blue soft silk undershirt with dark patterns inside, so that his body would not be exposed.

Qi Buchen pulled Yuludai's clothes from behind, persuading him frowningly: "It's just similar, Sixth Sister may have misread it."

"I'm definitely not mistaken, the white jade pendant with auspicious patterns is exactly the same as my mother's! And the style is still commonly used in the palace! He must have stolen my mother's things!" Yu Ludai said with great certainty.

Qi Buchen hurriedly said: "Your... how could Er Niang's things be stolen?!" Which thief in the world would dare to steal from the palace?

Yu Ludai clenched his fists and threatened: "You better recruit me, how did you steal my mother's things?!"

Wen Xi looked at the young man, feeling more and more familiar, and shouted: "Bi'er, don't be rude!"

Yu Ludai saw that it turned out to be gentle, but he didn't let go, and hurriedly shouted: "Er Niang, I caught a thief, and he stole your jade pendant!" As he spoke, he handed over the suet white jade auspicious pattern pendant Show Wen Xi.

The boy became anxious, "That thing was a gift from an old friend of my mother! It was definitely not stolen!"

Looking at the jade pendant, Wen Xi couldn't remember it for a while, but seeing the young man's face becoming more and more familiar, she asked, "Is Lingtang—"

The young man paused, looked at the gentle and kind-faced Yuludai, and then said, "My mother's surname is Li."

Surname Li?Wen Xi pondered for a long time, and suddenly the long-lost memory came out, and suddenly remembered a person, and exclaimed: "You are Cao Yong?!"

Cao Yong was stunned for a moment, "How does this lady know her name?"

Wen Xi took a deep breath, looked at Yu Ludai and said, "Bi'er, let go! He's not a thief!"

Yu Ludai looked at Cao Yong suspiciously, and still obeyed Wen Xi's words, but still looked defensive.Cao Yong bowed his hands to Wen Xi, "Thank you Madam for your trust."

Wen Xi and Yan Yuese returned the jade pendant to him, and said, "Is your mother okay?"

Cao Yong was courteous and polite, neither humble nor overbearing: "Mrs. Lao is concerned, my mother is well." Then there was doubt in his eyes, "Madam knows my mother?"

Wen Xi frowned and smiled, "I met once in ten years, but..." But at that time, she was pretending to be a man, and she might not recognize her if she saw her now, so she didn't want to say anything more.

Yu Ludai was thinking about something, and suddenly screamed, "Cao Yong? Your father is Cao Yin?!"

As soon as the words came out, deep displeasure surfaced on Cao Yong's face, calling someone's father by his name was indeed disrespectful, but seeing such a "kind" person as Wen Xi, he had no choice but to bear it for now, cupped his hands slightly and said: "Girl, please be more reserved."

Yu Ludai raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and was about to explode, but was stared down by Wen Xi.Wen Xi smiled and said to Cao Yong: "Are you also going to worship Kuixing when you come to Confucius Temple?"

Cao Yong shook his head, "The student is a martial arts scholar, not a literary scholar! Besides, my father said that there is no need to take the exam again, so he can find a job for me."

"Oh?" Wen Xi was slightly puzzled, but then she understood, "Yes, your father was also a martial artist back then, so you must also be a royal guard."

Although Cao Yong didn't know how the lady in front of him knew about his family's situation, he didn't want to ask too many questions. He only said, "Father means that he hopes that I will go to the capital after I get married."

"You..." Wen Xi glanced at Yu Ludai's fair cheeks, she was curious about Cao Yong's marriage, and asked, "Are you engaged?"

Cao Yong said: "Not yet, but my father has taken a fancy to the daughter of Mr. Ma's family, the chief minister, but my mother wants me to marry my cousin. I haven't made a decision yet. It's just that I probably have to follow my father's wishes. This year, my father wants me to go to the capital earlier."

Yu Ludai snorted, quite disdainful, "I think you can't succeed in literature, I'm afraid you can't do martial arts either! You can't do it without a little skill as an imperial guard!"

Hearing Yu Ludai's contemptuous words, Cao Yong couldn't help but feel angry, but he also figured out that the person who dared to speak like this must have an unusual status, so he endured it and said: "Success or failure has nothing to do with Miss! "

Yu Ludai held his head high, pinched his waist and said, "Believe it or not, my aunt can decide whether you succeed or not?!"

Cao Yong looked unbelievable, and cupped his hands and said: "Then miss, just do what you want!" The arrogance in his bones was so vigorous. The Cao family is also one of the best families in the south of the Yangtze River. If Cao Yong hadn't raised him well, he would have started to do it long ago.

After finishing speaking, Cao Yong cupped his hands towards Wen Xi, "Madam, please let the student take his leave."

Wen Xi nodded and said with a smile: "Don't take what my little girl says to heart."

Cao Yong also smiled back, and said very tolerantly: "Students will not take Qianyuan's words to heart, Madam, please rest assured!"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Ludai immediately puffed up her cheeks with anger, but seeing Wen Xi's displeased eyes with warning eyes, she could only hang her head angrily, and crushed a leaf on the ground with one foot, as if What he stepped on was Cao Yong's self-righteous smelly face.

After giving Cao Yong a few words, he took Yuludai and Qi Buchen and said goodbye.Back at Sileting, the two maids, Kangxi, the "father", greeted him with blessings, and Li Dequan naturally recounted what happened just now.Kangxi didn't see any displeasure, but instead asked Wen Xi why he recognized Cao Yong.Wen Xi had no choice but to briefly tell Kangxi about leaving the palace in the early years and being in the same boat with Cao Yin and his wife who were going to the funeral. Naturally, she never mentioned such things as getting married and sleeping on the same bed with two big men. Wen Xi still hopes that she can live a good life, and she doesn't want Comrade Cao Yin to have a good life for the rest of her life, she just said that she once gave Cao Yin's son a jade pendant.Fortunately, Kangxi didn't ask in detail, and the matter was finally fooled.
