Chapter 133 Poetry Immortal
At the end of the year, Chang'an City became lively again.Tomorrow is the year of the big exam, and students from all over the world are rushing to Beijing at the end of the year, in order to grab a suitable residence and earn some fame in advance.Zhuhua, who has never made an appointment for a marriage, is also considering whether to find one of these people?It's just that none of them are locals, and it's too troublesome to check their backgrounds, and they come all the way, even if they are in good spirits, they don't look very good, and Zhuhua doesn't have much interest in watching them.

One day, when she came back from errands, she stopped by a restaurant to order wine.At the end of the year, the family must treat guests. The old wine shop on Zhuque Street has released a new wine, which is very fragrant and refreshing.Zhuhua wanted to change the wine for the banquet at home to this, and also took the opportunity to see the autumn scenery on Zhuque Street.

It is the season when ginkgo leaves are yellow, and the two rows of ginkgo trees are singing brisk songs under the autumn breeze.Sniffing the dry air lightly, Zhuhua can still smell the smell of autumn.The ginkgo with the nameplate she wrote is just opposite the wine shop, and she has also seen the nameplates on the trees next to it, and silently feels that it is not as good as her writing, even though she copied it.Just as he was thinking, he heard someone beside him stretching exaggeratedly.

"This is Chang'an, it can be regarded as arriving."

Zhuhua took a look, and saw that he was a literati with dirty clothes, who seemed to have just arrived in Chang'an today after a long journey.Next to the wine shop is a restaurant that only serves home-made wine, and there are often drinkers hanging around here. There are no serious dishes in the wine shop, only some salted beans, peanuts, etc., but it is always full of seats.Among them, there was a good person, seeing that the other party was a scholar who was going to Beijing to rush for the exam, so he started talking to him, Zhuhua listened to a few words, and when she heard that this person was called "Bai Yizhi", she immediately turned her head and stared at him several times .

Bai Yizhi, this is a well-known poet in the Kang Dynasty. Later generations call him a Poetry Immortal. She memorized many of his poems in the high school entrance examination back then. Why did he look like this? The noble ladies of Chang'an are competing to invite?Is it the same name and surname, she misunderstood?It just so happened that someone in the restaurant left to vacate a seat, and Bai Yizhi immediately stepped forward and sat down.

"The wine in this restaurant smells good, Xiaoer, bring me a jar." He waved his big hand in greeting.

The regular customers next to him laughed.There is a rule in this wine shop. When guests come to drink, they pay first, and pay as much as they can drink. If they feel that they are not satisfied and want to add another bowl, it is not allowed. This is because they are afraid that someone will drink too much and cause trouble. The restaurant is too small to accommodate too many guests, hoping that the guests will leave after finishing their drink.

After Bai Yizhi heard the explanation from the regular customers next to him, he took out something from his pocket, but he didn't take out anything for a long while.He froze for a moment, then smiled.

"It turns out that the little brother I bumped into at the city gate was a thief..."

The people around looked at him dubiously, seeing that he wasn't annoyed at all, he didn't look like someone had stolen his money, could it be that he wanted to sympathize with Bo Restaurant?

Regardless of what others think, Bai Yizhi smiled, took out a gold-plated Pegasus pendant from his sleeve, and put it on the table, "Little brother, let's see, how many jars of wine can I exchange?"

Seeing this, Zhuhua already believed that this person was Bai Yizhi, who was known as both the Immortal of Poetry and the Immortal of Wine in history.The only waiter in the restaurant frowned when he saw the gold-plated Pegasus pendant. There is a rule in the shop that only accepts money but not goods.

Without waiting for Xiaoer to explain, Bai Yizhi already sniffed expectantly, "Today, I must drink a lot, so I won't waste my time in Chang'an."

Zhuhua laughed, waved at Qiuchu, asked for a purse from her, and threw it into Xiaoer's arms.

"Second brother, serve wine to this master."

Xiao Er got the purse, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, untied it and counted it, and said: "It's the top ten jars of Taibai wine. If you want to drink more jars, you should buy the middle-grade wine..."

"Here comes the fine wine." Bai Yizhi said, he got up and bowed to Zhuhua, then picked up the gold-plated Pegasus pendant on the table and wanted to go forward to Zhuhua.

It's just that Xiao Er has already moved over to the wine jar at this time, Bai Yizhi stopped in his tracks smelling the aroma of the wine, and bent towards the wine jar, Zhuhua couldn't help but find it funny, and when Bai Yizhi looked over, he turned towards the wine jar. He made a gesture of invitation, and then left with Qiu Chu.When she left, she felt very distressed. This bag of silver was only exchanged for ten jars of wine, which was too profitable.

"White horse carvings and chariots are all over the road, and blue stone painting buildings are embroidered in piles. This feeling is like drinking a pot of wine, throwing gold and red makeup." Bai Yizhi read loudly.

Zhuhua smiled when she heard the words, turned her head and nodded to Bai Yizhi before getting into the carriage.Bai Yizhi glanced at the sign on the carriage, then sat down, and waited until he was satisfied after drinking three jars of wine in one go, before talking to the people next to him.The people sitting next to them were all seventy to eighty percent drunk, and when they talked a lot, they talked about Zhuhua after a few words.

"The third daughter of General Cheng who is in charge of the Chinese army just now is staying in her boudoir. I heard that she hates to marry. I see that she has fallen in love with you."

Bai Yizhi laughed loudly when he heard the words, patted the drinking buddy on the shoulder and said, "Vulgar~ Talking about the affairs of the world, the turbid air does not enter the cup."

The one who was patted on the shoulder by him nodded ignorantly, clinked glasses with him, drank a jug of wine, and soon passed out.Bai Yizhi watched and clapped his hands and laughed, and chatted with the person on the other side. While drinking to his heart's content, someone yelled outside the wine shop.

"Young master, it's been hard waiting for you, little one."

Bai Yizhi frowned, looked up and saw the young servant Shuxiang he had abandoned halfway, and couldn't help complaining, "I have to listen to your noise again."

"Young master..." Shuxiang said with a bitter face, "Young master, fortunately, you don't have anything to do. When I went out, my wife told me to take care of you and take care of you to take the exam in Beijing. Who would have thought of it?" In the land of Sichuan, my son, you left the little Guzi and ran away. The little one arrived in the capital alone, and waited outside the famous restaurant every day for the young master to enter the capital, hoping that the young master will be safe and sound. That’s all right now, young master Finally arrived, the little one has found a place to live..."

As he said that, he glanced at Yin Xi beside him, and said, "Sister Yin Xi, this is the worthless young master of our family. Madam said that I should thank the master of your family for discipline."

Yin Xi smiled and nodded, but took a look at Bai Yi and sighed secretly: Like, really like.

To say that the Bai family and the Wu family have only a little karma, Wu Xiangxiang's fiancé is the second master Bai of the Bai family, and Bai Yizhi's biological second uncle.There were always three brothers in Bai Yizhi's father's generation. When they encountered soldiers from the previous dynasty, the Bai family, who was not rich at the time, reported the second master Bai to him.Bai Erye later joined the Wu family army, eventually rose steadily and became Wu Xiangxiang's fiancé.

This was supposed to be a story of a grassroots counterattack, but because the former emperor was fatuous and ruthless, Second Master Bai and many members of the Wu family eventually fought to the death in Border Town.After the establishment of the Kang Dynasty, Wu Xiangxiang asked people to find the Bai family and returned all of Bai Erye's assets to them.With this money, the Bai family, whose life was better, became a local gentry.This time when Bai Yizhi entered Beijing, his family naturally sent a letter to Wufu.In previous years, there was an exchange of annual gifts between the two governments, and Wu Xiangxiang also mentioned that if the Bai family came to Beijing for the exam, everything would be arranged by her.

Who would have thought that before this Bai Wulang, the Gonggong Mansion waited for his personal servant Shuxiang first.Scholar cried and told about Bai Yizhi's suspicion that he was nagging and abandoned him halfway, and also said that if his young master arrived in the capital safely, he would go for a drink first. Yes, I read it every day in major restaurants.Wu Xiangxiang laughed a lot when she heard about this, and became a little curious about this nephew who had no fate. She never thought that the honest man would have such a nephew. Sure enough, what her elder brother said was right, that man might be a fake honesty.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiangxiang couldn't help showing a wry smile, and immediately called Shen Shui to ask: "Have all the remnants of the previous dynasty been eradicated?"

Shen Shui lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "If we search again, maybe we can find a few more."

"Then go find it, I haven't played enough."

"Yes, master." Shen Shui replied, and took another careful look at Wu Xiangxiang.

"It's not a big deal, just let the people below do it. As long as things are done well, you can take care of your children at home."

"Thank you master." Shen Shui smiled, bowed and retreated.

After a few days, Shuxiang finally got her master, and Yinxi also met Bai Yizhi, who was known as a child prodigy since she was a child. She remembered that the day that this one was born was the "Seven Seventh" day of Second Master Bai, Moreover, Mrs. Bai was in pain for a whole day before giving birth to the child near midnight. People who were present at the time also said that when Bai Yizi was born, there were gusts of wind blowing in the house. When Bai Yizhi became a well-known child prodigy, what was originally a bad omen became a good omen.

Yinxi heard about it from the person she sent to deliver property to the Bai family, but she didn't tell Wu Xiangxiang.Such ghosts and gods, even Wu Xiangxiang didn't believe it.

Bai Yizhi, who finally had his fill of wine after drinking, obediently followed the servant and Yin Xi back to the Gonggong Mansion.Seeing that his face was covered in dust and smelled of alcohol, Yinxi asked someone to take him down to wash up before going to meet Wu Xiangxiang. Who would have thought that Wu Xiangxiang would just go out and meet him in front of the side door.

"You are somewhat similar to your second uncle." Wu Xiangxiang stared at him for a moment, then smiled, and said: "Greetings, don't come to salute in the front yard if you have nothing to do. If you want to drink, you can come here , I have enough drinks in my house."

"Thank you, Lord Wu." Bai Yizhi made a big bow with a smile, watched Wu Xiangxiang get on the horse and left, turned around and joked with Yin Xi: "The women in Chang'an City are all chic and neat."

Yin Xixu responded with a smile, and took the opportunity to ask: "How about the women in Shuzhou?"

"Tenderness is like water, and loyalty is uncompromising."

"There are women like this in Chang'an."

"Naturally, there are all kinds of women in Chang'an City."

Yin Xi smiled, but did not answer.She has checked about Bai Yizhi, and he has no shortage of fans and confidants in Shuzhou. There are rumors that he once had a banquet with a local official, and after getting drunk, he made a good deed with the official with a dancer. It was given to Bai Yizhi, and it is still a good story in the local area.It's just that this dancer doesn't know what to do now, if Bai Yizhi falls in love with the prosperity of Chang'an, she's afraid that she will spend her time in Shuzhou.

The maid sent to take care of Bai Yizhi is also outstanding in appearance. The Wuguo Mansion has no shortage of beautiful maidservants, and there will be stunning beauties to serve the banquets, even Wu Xiangxiang has beauties to serve the wine.The few times Zhuhua came, she was served by a beautiful woman, and Wu Xiangxiang was still teasing her at that time.

"If you change to a handsome young man, there are also some in my house."

"No, beauty is very good." Zhuhua said and touched the tender white hand of the beauty serving wine, which made Wu Xiangxiang laugh.

Now Yin Xi only hoped that this Bai Yizhi would know how to behave even if he was flirtatious, so as not to harm everyone in the whole family.

Zhuhua sat on the carriage home, regretting that she had just given up her private house because of her generosity.There is also a limit to chasing stars. Besides, her natal life is not Shi Xian, but Wu Xiangxiang, so it is worth spending a little more money for Wu Xiangxiang.Recently, she has seen her idol more and more pleasing to the eye. Looking at the capital, whoever is fighting for the top is still a little less beautiful around her. Those young generals have no sense of fun, so how can they be worthy of Wu Xiangxiang.

After a few days, when she saw Bai Yizhi at the banquet held by Duke Wuguo's mansion, her eyes suddenly lit up.Yes, there are some fictional stories about Shixian and Wu Xiangxiang, but the age difference between the two is nearly twenty, and many people say it is not credible.But Bai Yizhi did often appear in the residence of Mrs. Wu Guo, and I heard that he still lives in the residence. Could it be that the two are really together?

My goddess is a cow!Zhuhua shouted in her heart, even after she heard the reason behind it, she silently expected the two of them to have a spark.It's rare for two historical celebrities to stay under the same roof without causing some scandals, so she doesn't believe it!
It's a pity that her occasional slanting eyes have another meaning in Wu Xiangxiang's eyes. Could it be that this little girl has taken a fancy to Bai Yizhi?When she mentioned this matter to Yin Xi, Yin Xi was stunned.

"No wonder. I heard that Ms. Azhu once paid for Mr. Bai's drinks at the wine shop. That's Miss Cheng San, who has always been frugal."

Even though Zhuhua thinks she spends more money now, the frugal image of the Cheng family is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if she becomes a third-rank official, the servants in the mansion still use cloth. They were left to be selected by the people of Cheng's mansion before they were released for sale.Several of Zhuhua's clothes were also made of processed cloth. Of course, the clothes she went out were all made of high-quality materials, but even so, it didn't restore her stingy reputation.But someone really saw that she had killed a peddler on the street for a quarter of an hour in order to save a penny. I heard that the girls around her couldn't stand it anymore.

Bargaining is the joy of buying things for women. Whenever you know that you can make the other party a little cheaper with your eloquence, even if it is a little bit, you will not hesitate to talk about this little bit of discount, and you must bring the price to your heart. No.

Thinking that Zhuhua was moved by Bai Yizhi, Yin Xi felt a little worried, "Mr. Bai already has a wife at home."

Hearing this, Wu Xiangxiang became even more worried.
