After being choked to death by a copper coin, she became a demon Jin Ji in the other world

Everyone spread mats in the small courtyard of the Taoist temple, sat on the ground around the rack of roasted whole lamb, roasted the bonfire, drank wine, played finger-guessing games, talked about everything under the sun, and recited poems.

【Come on, everyone, look at me. I suggest that we follow the Song Dynasty’s custom and play a drinking game to have some fun together. How do you think?】

[I don't ask you to write poems. As long as you can recite a poem related to the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will give her a Qin Wang Fu. Otherwise, you have to drink three cups as punishment. How do you think? ]

【it is good! 】

【Can! 】

Everyone responded after hearing what he said. As the proposer, Shen Yuelan was naturally the first. She recited the line "The bright moon rises over the sea, and we share this moment across the world" from Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Thinking of the Distant" as her opening line.

Gan Yuelong used the couplet "This life and this night will not last long, where can I see the bright moon next year" from Su Shi's "Yangguan Qu·Written on Mid-Autumn Festival" as the second couplet.

Meng Anran stumbled over and recited the line "Tonight the moon is bright and everyone is gazing at it, but I wonder whose house the autumn thoughts fall on" from Wang Jian's "Looking at the Moon on the 15th Night and Sending a Letter to Doctor Du" and only then did he barely escape the disaster.

For a while, people were chanting poems one after another. If they could recite them, they would be given a talisman, and if they couldn't, they would have to drink three cups of wine. It was okay at the beginning, as everyone had some knowledge.

But in the later period, the women had run out of food and had to punish themselves with drinking, including Shen Yuelan. Most of the Mid-Autumn Festival poems they recited were about separation, especially in the Song Dynasty.

This is because the official avoidance system was prevalent in ancient China. In the Song Dynasty, the system was further refined, among which the avoidance of native place was the most common and had the longest history.

Therefore, most officials in ancient times had to leave their hometowns to take up their posts, and were generally not allowed to bring their families with them. Therefore, when Song Dynasty scholars admired the moon, they often felt sad because they could not reunite with their families.

Su Shi's words, "People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions; the moon waxes and wanes; it is difficult to have everything in life. I wish you long life, so that we can share the beauty of the moon even though we are thousands of miles apart," express the feeling of separation, which is based on this historical background.

However, Shen Yuelan and others are not high-ranking officials, so they don't care about this. At most, they can simply empathize when reciting poems at night.

In this way, everyone drank and toasted in the yard all night long, and there was music and revelry every night, but this was actually a Mid-Autumn Festival custom in the Song Dynasty.

According to the "Dongjing Menghualu", "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rich families decorated their terraces and pavilions, while the common people competed to occupy the restaurants to enjoy the moon, and the place was bustling with people. The residents near the inner court could hear the sound of the sheng in the distance, as if it was from beyond the clouds. The children in the neighborhood played all night long. The night market was crowded until dawn."

This shows the lively atmosphere in which the Song people celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, compared to the crowded restaurants and busy streets, Shen Yuelan and others preferred to drink tea and wine in a quiet and elegant courtyard.

Chapter 101: I'm really drunk

The happy days passed quickly, and the Mid-Autumn Festival ended in such an atmosphere of reunion.

Shen Yuelan and others soon experienced the aftereffects of excessive indulgence. Even if the alcohol content of ancient liquor was low, it was still liquor and could not be drunk like water.

Therefore, everyone who drank low-alcohol liquor all night, still felt dizzy and drunk when they woke up the next night. Only Shen Huanyan and Gan Wanchuan, who were forbidden to drink, were still lively after waking up.

They were very sensible and made sobering soup for everyone to help them get rid of the influence of alcohol as quickly as possible. Even so, it still took everyone about two days to recover.

After Shen Yuelan sobered up, she swore that she would never look down on low-alcohol liquor again, because drinking too much would really make you drunk.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, most of the demon sword girls in the team chose to continue staying in the Taoist temple. Shen Yuelan had tried to persuade them, but most of the time, she would be pulled into their bed, pressed under them, and used as a pillow to sink with them.

As time went by, Shen Yuelan gave up. She decided to stay wherever she wanted. It was someone else's vacation anyway. Struggle was a way of life, and lying down and doing nothing was another way of life.

The most thing Shen Yuelan does now is to go out for free medical treatment, and dig holes to bury wine on weekdays. The batch of wine buried in the early years has been dug out by Shen Yuelan and stuffed into her own dimensional pendant.

Although it would be nice to throw it directly into his own core space or Huanyan and the others' storage space, both of these spaces have the effect of stopping time, and alcohol is something that tastes better the longer it is stored, so it naturally cannot be put there.

Speaking of storage space, Shen Yuelan had placed a lot of antiques dug out from the Swallow Cave in Guangwu Mountain in Mi Yuan's storage space. Originally, they thought they had been taken away by Mi Yuan as well.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, when Shen Huanyan was cleaning in the core space, she found these antiques in a large warehouse in the space.

Shen Yuelan suddenly became curious about how big her core space was. Shen Huanyan thought for a moment and described to Shen Yuelan that Shen Yuelan's initial core space was actually an ordinary building with three bedrooms and a living room.

After Shen Yuelan signed Shen Sushang, the house was expanded into a three-story villa. After Mi Yuan joined, it was further expanded and upgraded to a garden mansion.

Afterwards, with the continuous promotion of Shen Sushang and Shen Huanyan, the boundaries of the core space have also expanded outward little by little. Now it has become a large space on the scale of a manor. It would not be a big problem for Shen Yuelan to move a mountain of gold in.

Shen Huanyan also complained to Shen Yuelan about her works. Shen Yuelan's paintings and wood carvings are now piled up in the core space, and the warehouse can no longer hold them.

Therefore, most of Shen Yuelan's works are now thrown by Shen Huanyan on the open space in the space and piled up randomly. Anyway, there is no rain and no dust in the space, so it doesn't matter if they are left there.

Shen Yuelan didn't care about this, because just as Shen Huanyan said, she had created a lot of "garbage" over the years. If she wanted to throw it away, it would be a pity. If she wanted to sell it, she was afraid of interfering with the historical process. She could only pile it up in space to collect dust for the time being.

A few days later, Liu E sent people from the palace to deliver some tribute items from various vassal states to Shen Yuelan, such as ginseng and sulfur from Goryeo, tortoise shells and pearls from Jiaozhi, crystal and spices from Daqin, jade and frankincense from Kucha, etc.

The quantity of each item is not large, and they should be the ones that Liu E divided from the share that Zhao Heng gave her. Because they are Liu E's love, Shen Yuelan can't give them away to random people, for fear that Liu E would see them and hurt her feelings.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan only gave the Korean ginseng to Gan Yuelong in the name of Liu E, and asked Shen Huanyan to put the rest into the core space and organize them for storage. These things might be useful in the future.

Playing with the pearls in her hand, Shen Yuelan realized that she should sneak into the palace to see Liu E and bring her some gifts in the next two days.

During festivals, people never forget to share some good things with their old lover, so how can I not express my gratitude? The question is what should I give?

Well, how is the credit of Zhang the fat man in Jiangling Mansion? He seemed to have written me a letter some time ago and asked me to throw it there? Shen Yuelan searched on her desk and finally found a letter that looked a bit fancy.

[Found it, let me see what this sultry old man wrote? ]

Well, it turns out that he was reporting on his recent situation. This guy seems to be doing pretty well now. Not only has he been transferred to another place to continue serving as a prefect, he was also appointed as the Minister of Justice some time ago.

After this old fox finished talking about his own affairs in the letter, he was still asking about Shen Yuelan's identity in both open and covert ways. This guy really wouldn't give up. But it's good too. Such an ambitious person is suitable for Liu E to control.

[Oh, by the way, I still don't know the name of this old man, where is the signature? Let me find it, ok? Zhang Shiliang, oh my god, isn't this Zhang Qixian's handwriting? Does this fat guy have such a background? ]

Shen Yuelan once again realized the wisdom of the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover, don't judge the depth of the sea by its depth". However, this made the letter of surrender in Shen Yuelan's hand even more valuable.

After choosing the gift, Shen Yuelan quietly entered the palace. Because she really didn't want to encounter any scenes that were not suitable for children at night, she deliberately chose to go to find Liu E during the day.

Although there were people who committed prostitution in broad daylight in the palace, it was generally quiet. Shen Yuelan easily found Liu E who was making clothes. Shen Yuelan took a look at the clothes and saw that they should be women's clothing.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Yuelan quietly hugged Liu E from behind, which scared Liu E who was measuring clothes. She thought that she was secretly making clothes and was discovered by Zhao Heng.

When he turned around and saw that it was Shen Yuelan who was hugging him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After giving Shen Yuelan a coquettish look, he began to measure Shen Yuelan's size in a virtuous manner.

Looking at Liu E who was diligently taking measurements for him, Shen Yuelan sighed slightly. If he were still that ordinary young man from a small town, being able to marry a virtuous wife like Liu E would probably be the happiest thing in his life.

Liu E looked at her lover who was obediently letting her measure her body, and she lamented in her heart, if she had not been blinded by power and insisted on entering the Prince of Han's mansion, but chose to stay in the Taoist temple, would she be happier than she is now?

It’s a pity that there is no “if” in this world. You are not an ordinary person, and you are not an ordinary woman. There is no turning back in this world, and the hatred between us will last forever in the deep palace.

Shen Yuelan's hand unconsciously touched Liu E's face, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and kissed her lightly, but only briefly, and then separated bitterly.

Chapter 102: Grand Vision and Dream

The two touched and then separated, staring at each other in silence. After a while, the two seemed to have nothing happened, and returned to their original state, and no one mentioned what had just happened.

After Liu E finished measuring, Shen Yuelan turned around and admired the fabric Liu E had prepared for her. Seeing that Shen Yuelan was interested, Liu E introduced it to her:

[This is a special product from Goryeo this year. I saw that the material is good, so I thought of making a new dress for A-lan. A-lan, please don't despise it.]

Shen Yuelan smiled and said that this was the first time in her life that someone was willing to make clothes for her. She was so happy that she couldn't wait to be disgusted.

[However, I heard that the imperial gifts in the palace are all limited. For the spices and ginseng, you can still make excuses, but if you haven't made new clothes for yourself and the cloth disappears, what will you say when Zhao Heng asks about it?]

[This... I haven't thought about it that much, but if this thing is not acceptable, I will have no more fabric that is more worthy of Alan. ]

When Liu E spoke, there was a hint of sadness in her expression. Seeing that she was determined to buy herself a new dress, Shen Yuelan thought for a moment, then took out two pieces of Yue Liuli that Mi Yuan had left for her and gave them to Liu E.

Before Mi Yuan left, she told herself to find a better tailor to make clothes for her. And isn't Liu E, who is in front of her and has her in her heart and eyes, the best tailor?

Liu E gently stroked the jade-like cloth surface of Yue Liuli, feeling the silky touch, and revealed a look of amazement.

Should I say that it is worthy of what A-Lan brought out? This thing is indeed worthy of her A-Lan, but Liu E feels that she needs to reconsider what kind of clothes to make with this cloth.

After Liu E carefully put away the cloth, she took Shen Yuelan to her bedroom for tea. In Liu E's impression, Shen Yuelan would not approach the palace unless necessary. She might have something important to discuss here today.

Seeing Liu E so serious, Shen Yuelan couldn't help laughing for a moment. After drinking a sip of tea, she spoke softly to comfort her:

[Xiao E, don't be so nervous. It's not a big deal. I just heard that you have started to help Zhao Heng handle some government affairs, and suddenly I remembered that there is another person who may be of use to you.]

Upon learning that Shen Yuelan was actually here to provide her with connections, Liu E immediately dropped her airs and happily jumped to Shen Yuelan's side like a little girl, eagerly waiting for Shen Yuelan's next words.

Shen Yuelan did not make trouble and directly handed the two letters from Zhang Qixian to Liu E, allowing Liu E to judge for herself whether this person was useful.

Liu E read the two letters over and over again for more than ten times, and paced back and forth in the room for a long time. Then she put the letters down with some excitement. How could Liu E not be excited? This was a fierce man who dared to confront the Liao army head-on.

As early as the second year of Chunhua, this man had served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Central Secretariat. His surrender did not represent his personal preferences, but the common will of the entire political force behind him.

This was undoubtedly a blessing from heaven for Liu E, who had always suffered from the lack of supporters from the previous dynasty. Liu E's hidden desire to become emperor began to beat again.

However, Liu E did not tell Shen Yuelan about this, and Shen Yuelan didn't care whether Liu E said it or not.

Because for Shen Yuelan, the difference was not that big. Shen Yuelan knew Liu E's desire to become emperor very clearly.

The reason why Shen Yuelan was willing to push Zhang Qixian into Liu E's vision was because she knew that Liu E would eventually take this path.

It is clearly recorded in history books that Zhangxian Mingsu was in power and consulted Empress Wu in the court and wore imperial robes to offer sacrifices.

After achieving the purpose of her trip, Shen Yuelan had no intention of staying in the palace any longer. God have mercy on her, Liu E was so excited that her eyes were almost glowing green, as if the throne was already beckoning to her.

Shen Yuelan was speechless upon seeing this. She thought that she should be more sensible and leave here quickly instead of hindering Liu E from realizing her grand dream.

After leaving the palace, Shen Yuelan had nothing to do, so she went to the taverns in the city to hang out, trying to find some good wine. This time, Shen Yuelan didn't plan to just buy two bottles to try.

Not to mention that there was still a lot of gold and silver left from the previous business in Jingxiang, even after Fu Xi's casino was reported, the amount of copper coins they transferred back overnight was also huge.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan was quite generous in her purchases this time. She would not even look at any wine that was not more than ten years old.

Moreover, when Shen Yuelan bought the wine, she considered that this batch of wine was for her own collection rather than for entertaining guests, so she gave up the mixed wines that were a little younger and tasted slightly worse.

She specializes in purchasing the original aged liquors collected by various stores. She will never let go of a wine that is over a hundred years old. Price is not an issue, and even the most stubborn store owners will never go against money.

In five days, Shen Yuelan visited all the wine shops in Tokyo City, even Zhao Heng's private wine cellar. After all, the best wines in the Song Dynasty were the tribute from the Western Regions.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan had to perform a trick of replacing the prince with a cat in Zhao Heng's wine cellar and replaced all of Zhao Heng's wine with fruit wine she brewed herself, and the original Western Region wine in the wine jars was all packed up and taken away by Shen Yuelan.

To be honest, Shen Yuelan felt that the wine she brewed was much better than the tribute from the Western Regions. However, everyone said that the wine from the Western Regions was the most delicious, so Shen Yuelan could only collect it reluctantly.

Within a week, the wealthy and powerful people in Tokyo suddenly discovered that the expensive liquor they bought from taverns was not as delicious as before, and this was true for everyone.

After careful inquiries, I found out that all the raw liquor in the entire Tokyo city was bought by a young woman who looked the same, and it was said that the total value of this batch of raw liquor was far more than two million strings of cash.

However, no one knew which wealthy and powerful family this man belonged to, a prodigal son who dared to squander his ancestral fortune. After the news spread in Tokyo City, he was immediately cursed by the wealthy and powerful.

However, Shen Yuelan didn't care what they thought, because at this moment, she had already returned to the Taoist temple contentedly, and was happily sorting out her harvest in the room.

Just when she was about to finish, her attention was suddenly attracted by a strange jar of wine. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was a bottle of turbid wine produced by Inaguchi.

Why did you buy it at that time?

Oh, by the way, I didn’t buy it myself. The store owner gave it to me as a gift when I bought lamb wine. He said that he took a lot of effort to ship this wine from Daoguang by sea.

The wine itself is not expensive, but the shipping cost is ridiculously high. In addition, the taste is not that good, so most people buy one or two bottles to try it out and then never buy it again.

The store owner had no choice but to give it as a gift to buyers who purchased bulk goods. However, due to the quality issues of Daoguang wine, the store owner was often criticized by buyers, who said that the store owner was stingy and was only willing to give away some unpalatable foreign wine.

Shen Yuelan squatted on the ground and knocked on the strange jar produced by Daoguang. She couldn't help but think of Daoguang, which was contemporary with the Song Dynasty. It seemed that it was still the Heian period over there now.

The legendary great onmyoji Ampere Haruaki seems to be a figure of this era. Calculating the time, he seems to still be alive. If there is time in the future, Shen Yuelan would like to take the time to meet this person.

I also want to see what Heian-kyo, where a hundred demons parade at night, looked like in real history.

Chapter 103: Imported Monsters

Shen Yuelan was holding a jar of wine, recalling the spooky Heian-kyō in her memory.

The jar in her arms suddenly shook at this moment, and then with a snap, the jar shattered. Two small phantoms fell out of the jar, and the wine in the jar splashed all over Shen Yuelan.

Because she was in her own room, Shen Yuelan was only wearing a thin undershirt. After it was soaked by the wine, her beautiful figure was gradually highlighted by the transparent undershirt. Shen Yuelan hurriedly protected her vital parts.

You know, she is not the only one in the room now. Even if Shen Yuelan was a man in her life, she is unwilling to show her naked body at this moment.

Shen Yuelan reacted quickly and put on a set of clothes. In a hurry, Shen Yuelan did not carefully identify which clothes she was putting on.

If you look at it from other people's perspective, it would be that majestic, evil and seductive young demon girl who has once again come to the world.

After Shen Yuelan had tidied herself up, she finally had time to observe the two little things opposite her. When she looked closely, she found that they were a furry golden fox and a girl doll with horns on its head.

Well, although there are still some doubts, it is basically certain that these two guys must be imported monsters who smuggled in.

Although it was not within Shen Yuelan's business scope, she could take charge and kill him. The two little fairies curled up in the corner instantly felt the murderous intent from Shen Yuelan.

The golden fox was so frightened that her fur instantly stood up. She hastily explained in a charming voice that was totally inconsistent with her appearance:

[Sir, please spare my life. I am a local demon. I have an ID card issued by the Animal Management Bureau. Please take a look.]

Shen Yuelan took the ID from the little fox and looked at it. Hmm? Tamamonomae? The golden fox immediately said that she had taken the wrong ID. That was a passport.

Then he took out a certificate that looked like a pass. Shen Yuelan twitched her lips when she saw it. The little thing had quite a complete set of documents.

[Well, Su Daji, the family address is Xuanyuan Ancient Tomb, and the supervisor is Ningchen Pavilion, huh? Ningchen Pavilion? ]

Wait, there seems to be nothing wrong. Ning Chen Ge has indeed done Nuwa's work. Okay, I'll just hand this fox over to Ning Chen Ge to deal with it later.

Seeing that she had passed the inspection, the little fox visibly relaxed, but the girl next to her was visibly scared. She was not as cunning as the stinky fox who went back to Central Plains to get all the necessary documents.

[Little demon, little demon is also a local demon, it's just... it's just that I didn't bring all the documents. In the Central Plains, little demon is called Jiuchong, and in Daoguang, his flower name is Shuten-doji. His hometown is in... in the current Daming Prefecture, and his supervisor is Shangguan Xi.]

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuelan was almost irritated to death by these two little guys. Wow, they are all doing pretty well in Daoguang and have even become famous.

You know what, Tamamonomae and Shuten-doji are still big demons over there.

Shen Yuelan carefully observed the cultivation base of the two guys. They were both Demon King-level monsters with an equivalent of over 600,000, and they truly lived up to the title of monsters.
