Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 204 Ask Him

When I get up early in the morning and open the window, I feel...

"Ah Xuan, A Xuan, come and see what's going on outside!"

The summer morning was already a little hot, and although Gao Jingming was not affected, he still changed into thin clothes.

When he woke up, he opened the window and saw the scene outside. He was stunned for a moment, then habitually called out to Chen Xuan.

"What happened, Master?"

Xiao Cai put on her clothes and went behind Gao Jingming, looking outside and asking. Her hair was a little messy as she hadn't done her makeup yet, her eyes were sleepy, and her pretty face looked lazy and charming.

As she grew older, her height stopped at about 1.6 meters. It was unknown whether she would grow taller in the future. She had a round and petite figure, but her capital was becoming more and more abundant.

Rubbing his eyes and looking outside, Xiao Cai blinked and said dumbly: "Why are there so many people on the street outside? The road is blocked by cars and horses."

Yes, early in the morning, the streets outside were bustling with people and traffic. There were so many people, dozens of times more than usual, and most of them were dressed appropriately. They were looking in a certain direction and urging people to hurry up. Some even got out of the car and ran towards the front.

Being so close, Gao Jingming was bumped on the back. Smelling the fragrance coming from Xiao Cai beside him, Gao Jingming turned around and almost met Xiao Cai's mouth. He simply took a bite, licked his lips, and shook his head, saying, "How should I know?"

As he spoke, he habitually reached out to Xiao Cai...

"Hey, Master has bad breath. Master, stop it, it's itchy," Xiao Caijiao said with a smile, but did not avoid it.

Xiao Ye watched them play helplessly, but still spoke up to remind them: "Young Master, please stop now. It's not the right time yet. If you do something out of line again, we will be beaten to death if the Madam finds out."

Hearing this, Gao Jingming smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand. He continued to look outside and said, "It's strange. Why are there so many people today? It seems that they are all going to the Wenxiang Pavilion."

"Young Master, you can continue to bully Xiao Cai. You can bully me too, but we can't go to that kind of place," Xiao Ye said after hesitating.

Gao Jingming turned around speechlessly and said, "Xiao Ye, what are you thinking? It seems that those people are really swarming towards the Wenxiang Pavilion. I don't know what happened."

At this moment, Geng Hong, Zhao Erhe and others came to the door to watch, and they were also surprised. It seemed that something big happened in that direction, but it didn't look like a bad thing.

By the river behind the house, Chen Xuan got up early in the morning as usual to practice calming and health-preserving exercises, as if nothing had happened and everything was still the same as usual.

Ronggui, who was across the river, was sitting on the steps eating melon seeds with a relaxed look on his face. Occasionally he glanced in the direction of Wenxiang Pavilion, muttering that the tigress didn't come home last night, so it was a lot quieter. It was just that it was a bit difficult to prepare meals for the kids in the morning, otherwise they could just go out to eat.

He was not worried at all when his wife did not come home overnight. After all, his wife's physique was his own fault. It was not like this in the past.

Glancing across the river, Ronggui secretly curled his lips. That young man is seducing young girls and wives again. It's annoying to watch. He's so handsome, so stay home and don't go out. I'll have to let my wife stay away from him from now on...

Hearing Xiao Gao's call, Chen Xuan of course knew what was going on outside, and roughly understood the cause. He completed his morning exercises slowly, said hello to Ronggui on the other side, and then went outside.

During this period of time, Chen Xuan also understood that the noble Rong across the river was not a bad person, but he was neither high nor low. Most people in the world were like this.

Because of this, his wife always slanders him, but the relationship between the couple is really good. Although they quarrel and fight all the time, and Ronggui is occasionally scolded by his wife like a grandson, they actually get along well with each other. Once, Ronggui was bullied, but nothing serious happened. His wife picked up a kitchen knife and was ready to fight with the person, and no one could stop her.

He dislikes me purely out of jealousy, and he doesn't have any bad intentions.

Coming to the yard outside, Chen Xuan glanced at the street, turned around and smiled at Gao Jingming upstairs: "It's quite lively, huh?"

As she said this, she curled her lips to signal Xiao Gao to be careful. He got up early in the morning to bully Xiao Cai and the others, and he was not afraid of any accidental shooting.

Even so, Chen Xuan was shocked. Was yesterday's incident such a big deal? Not only did it not calm down after a night, but it actually got worse.

My goodness, judging from the situation, it seems like half of the people in the city are rushing in this direction.

Although the description is a bit exaggerated, the fact is that countless people are heading towards Wenxiang Pavilion in groups, and it is still early in the morning.

Chen Xuan was happy to see this happen. The bigger the fuss, the better the effect, which was exactly what he wanted.

From then on, he didn't believe that the man surnamed Wu would have the time to deal with Gao Jingming, and given that guy's personality, his life would probably be ruined!

It is said that scholars kill without shedding blood. Chen Xuan knew this very well, so he said that this method was dirty and classified such a strategy as a bad one.

The so-called killing is not the end of the world, and ruining other people's future is too cruel.

However, since it was Xiao Gao's choice, he had no choice but to do it. They didn't get along anyway, and Gao Jingyu would have a fight with the queen sooner or later. It would be better to deal with Xiao Wu in advance to prevent that guy from becoming a nuisance in the future.

Xiao Gao looked at Chen Xuan suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a moment, until he heard clearly the discussion of those people outside.

Wu Junyao, an untitled masterpiece, the incomplete poem, "Last night's stars, last night's wind...", a telepathic connection..., caused a sensation in the city, and all the brothels heard the news and invited Wu Junyao to have fun, free of charge, with signs as a sign. Ning Guiliang learned that everyone said the poem was good, and the teacher at the academy praised it highly.

After hearing this, Xiao Gao suddenly felt his scalp tingling and his back chilled. Is it such a big deal?

Without caring about bullying Xiao Ye, Xiao Cai and the others, Xiao Gao turned over and went straight to the yard. He looked outside beside Chen Xuan and whispered fearfully, "A Xuan, this... is not good, right?" "Master, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Chen Xuan blinked at him.

Xiao Gao's mouth twitched and he felt numb.

The two grew up together and have been together for many years, so they are very familiar with each other. Of course, he thought that this was Chen Xuan's doing, but isn't the aftereffect too great?

It’s scary to think about it. I just made a picture and I was almost annoyed to death during this period. I had to take time out to treat a few people to shut others up, but Wu Junyao just exploded. How can I live a peaceful life in the future?
If it was just the fact that he was the most popular, that was the key point. If Wu Junyao had a bad character, his life would probably be over!

Without strong accumulation, if you fly directly into the sky, you will fall badly.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Gao murmured in a voice heard only by the two of them: "Last night's stars, last night's wind..., ahem, isn't that too easy for him?"

"Young master, please be careful with your words. Mr. Wu's talent is obvious to all. Don't be jealous of him. You should strive to catch up with him," Chen Xuan said seriously.

Xiao Gao almost rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "A Xuan, just pretend," but he did listen to what he said.

Of course he knew what Chen Xuan meant by that. Firstly, his fame had passed, and with Wu Junyao as an example, fewer people would come to him in the future, so he could focus on his studies. Secondly, Chen Xuan was reminding him not to focus on these unorthodox things, and that the right thing to do was to focus on studying. Becoming famous overnight was good, but it was just a castle in the air.

There is also a third meaning. Xiao Gao understood that if he came up with such a name, Ah Xuan would have such a 'means' if it was really necessary!
hiss~!

Did Ah Xuan really just come up with a fragment of a poem by chance?
Putting his thoughts aside, Gao Jingming agreed and said, "A Xuan is right. Brother Wu's talent is far inferior to ours. We should work hard and strive to catch up."

Well, the boy is teachable, Chen Xuan nodded secretly.

Gao Jingming then turned and walked towards the study and said, "Read, study. Instead of envying others, it's better to learn more."

To be honest, Xiao Gao felt a little sad. It would have been great if the poem was written by himself. It's just human nature.

The prerequisite is to have real talent and knowledge, otherwise no matter how good the things are, they will become a sharp blade that destroys yourself!

Fortunately, he had a positive attitude and soon put the bitterness behind him. He felt more refreshed. From then on, Wu Junyao was no longer a concern. Based on his understanding of Wu Junyao, the other party had such a little knowledge, but he was so popular now. He just had to wish him good luck in the future.

Since Xiao Gao was studying, Chen Xuan naturally had to accompany him and didn't care about the noise outside.

When it was almost time for dinner, Xiao Gao couldn't hold back any longer, so he put down his book and asked, "Xuan, how do you think we should continue this telepathic connection?"

"Young Master, how would I know? You should ask Wu Junyao. I am not well-educated and have no qualifications or ability to complete his poems. Let's avoid making a fool of ourselves," Chen Xuan said, shaking his head.

Gao Jingming hesitated to speak, his face filled with pain as he said, "Ah Xuan, I... Hey, do you know how cruel it is for us scholars to have such a masterpiece turned out to be just a broken poem?"

He almost said, "I beg you, just tell me, otherwise I will lose my appetite."

Chen Xuan understood this. After all, scholars pursued "perfection" in all aspects of learning. It was like having a table of delicious food in front of you but not giving you chopsticks. Isn't that intentional torture?

However, there are some things that cannot be said after being done, and can only be kept in the heart, so Xiao Gao only hinted at wanting to know the complete next verse, but did not ask directly.

Smiling, Chen Xuan said, "Master, only Wu Junyao knows what happened next. Go ask him."

"A Xuan, are you serious?" Gao Jingming glared slightly, thinking that it was too cruel. He was going to make him 'finish the job', no, it should be said that he was going to add a tiny fuel to the fire.

Nodding, Chen Xuan said seriously, "Of course I am serious, Master. Countless people are flocking to this event, how can you remain indifferent? Besides, you are relatives, so it is reasonable for you to participate in this excitement."

After hearing his reminder, Gao Jingming also reacted. Indeed, if he remained indifferent, he would appear too different and would not arouse any suspicion. But what if he was misunderstood as being jealous of others and pretending to be noble?

So he nodded and said, "That's right, let's go join in the fun after dinner."

That's right, Xiao Gao still understands the ways of the world.

Then he asked Chen Xuan pitifully, "Ah Xuan, after we've connected, can't you really figure it out?"

Chen Xuan was a bit overwhelmed. "Why are you scholars so obsessed with this?" No wonder so many people are flocking to it.

However, he still said: "Master, please don't make things difficult for me."

Anyway, I can't tell it even if I kill myself. Once I tell it, Xiao Gao's mentality will change, and he won't be as natural as he is now. If I satisfy his curiosity now, it will backfire.

Think about it, everyone is looking forward to it, and the author Wu Junyao himself is also racking his brains to complete the sequel. Only Gao Jingming knows the answer. People have different mindsets, and some people with sharp eyes will see some clues. Don't treat everyone as fools.

I'll tell him when I have the chance in the future, at least after this matter has completely faded. Chen Xuan has already made a plan. If there is a suitable opportunity, I will let Xiao Gao make a sequel naturally. I won't force him anyway, just to take advantage of his kiss (and step on him again).

Listening to the increasingly crowded discussions outside, Chen Xuan thought that Ning Guiliang was indeed a talented poet. He only praised the incomplete poem but never mentioned Wu Junyao himself.

There are many smart people everywhere...
