The name of the main street in Jinling City was given by the current emperor to have a good meaning. It is Fengming Street.
Fengming Street is more than ten feet wide from left to right. There are many shops along the street, including tea shops and restaurants. It is one of the most prosperous places in Jinling City. The atmosphere of the Lantern Festival can be seen here.
Today, most literati have the habit of gathering together to hold poetry gatherings, so walking along the street, Shen Kuang saw scenes of impromptu poetry composing in several restaurants.
The Shangyuan Poetry Society attracted a lot of attention, and several gentlemen from official schools even participated in it every year. Firstly, it was to evaluate the poems of talented scholars, and secondly, it could also increase the reputation of the poetry society here.
Most talented people want to gain a good reputation in poetry societies. If they can write one or two good poems and the
In the capital city of Nanliang, there is an undercurrent hidden under the prosperity here.In the imperial city, at the highest point of the tower, Emperor Xiao Yan stood with his hands behind his hands and looked down at the entire capital. This was his world.It was late winter and the cool breeze was blowing. Although the eunuchs following behind Xiao Yan were very worried about Xiao Yan's health, it seemed that His Majesty was determined to take a look here today.In addition to several eunuchs who were accompanying them, there was also a gloomy-looking old man waiting on the side. The old man stood beside Xiao Yan and looked at the farthest point in the same direction as him.The gloomy old man had a cold expression from beginning to end and did not say a word.After a moment, Xiao Yan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, slowly said, "It's been quite lively in the capital these days, right?"After Xiao Yan finished speak
Jinling City, at the feet of the Emperor.There are countless wealthy families, royal relatives, and powerful families.Therefore, what is most abundant here is people of status, and the most common ones are the playboys from various families.When there are too many playboys, it is easy to breed groups of varying sizes, and Yu Xin and his four companions were one of them.Maybe they themselves do not think that they are just gathering small groups, but in the eyes of others, they and the families behind them are more or less of the same spirit, and they would not come together without the instruction of their elders.The Yu family, the Xie family, the Xiao family, and the Yan family.If we talk about truly prominent status, the Xiao family should be the highest, not only because they are a branch of the royal family, but also because the Xiao family itself has considerable influence in the court. Therefore, no matter in status or family af
The wing is not small, but if six people rush in at once , it will feel crowded.Yu Xin and others came in, they seemed to be relieved of their fatigue, and each found a seat and sat down lazily.Xie Si and Yan Qingshan leaned on the window sill and looked at the river view outside the window. The breeze was lingering outside the window, the blue waves were rippling, and the water smoke was blowing. Some girl was sitting on the bow of the boat, playing the piano and singing softly.The view from the wing is excellent, with panoramic views of both sides of the Taiwan Strait .On the other side, Yu Xin and Shen Kuang laughed and said, "Brother Jiang must have felt it from Mama Su just now. This place is not comparable to that tacky Rouge Cave."With that said, Yu Xin led Shen Kuang to another window sill. Looking from a distance, both sides of the Qinhuai River were filled with countless romantic scenes.After hearing this, Shen Kuang took ov
The sounds of the piano and the pipa started first, and Pei Muer's figure had not yet appeared. The chivalrous and unrestrained air began to envelop.Off the stage, Yu Xin and his companions were too lazy to argue with Duan Xuan and the others anymore. The truth about who was the mule and who was the horse would be revealed tonight.Duan Xuan threatened that he would beat them in poetry and prose tonight. Xiao Chengye sneered and felt that he had heard the funniest joke of the year.Duan Xuan didn't care when he saw this, he was quite confident.Shen Kuang also learned about Duan Xuan and the four people at the other table from Yu Xin . There was no deep hatred between the two parties. It was more like the competition between young masters. Each of them abided by certain rules, which they called euphemistically. A battle between gentlemen.The show has started, and the audience suddenly became quiet.At this moment, the sound of the piano b
Everyone was unexpected to see Pei Mu'er here today, let alone watch two of her performances.On the shore of Qinhuai River, most of the famous Qin Lou Chu Pavilion has several named Qing Guanmen, commonly known as the number one.The most famous person in Hongchen Pavilion is Pei Muer. Not only in the pavilion, but also in the entire Qinhuai River and even Jinling City, Pei Muer is extremely famous.In addition to her outstanding appearance, the girl's talent is also outstanding.Look, while waiting for Pei Muer to come on stage again, the audience were whispering to each other, most of them saying that they had made the right decision this time.On the other side, Duan Xuan and four others were also discussing.Among the four, a young man named Xue Pingchuan said with a smile, "Brothers, I heard that Miss Mu'er will also attend the poetry gathering tonight. We must perform well then."Duan Xuan picked up a glass of wine and drank it
Shen Kuang followed Qing Ning and quickly left the small building in the front yard. Afterwards, he walked through two hand-painted corridors and arrived outside an embroidery building.The embroidered building is located in a small courtyard with simple decoration. It seems that the embroidered building is Pei Muer's residence.After entering the small courtyard, Qing Ning planned to take Shen Kuang to the embroidery building, but Shen Kuang stopped."Miss Qingning, it's not appropriate to go any further inside. If you have any questions, please tell your lady here."Qing Ning was a little surprised at first when she saw Shen Kuang stop, but she was even more surprised when she heard Shen Kuang's words.Although there are only a handful of men who have been here, none of them dare to enter the embroidery building because of the etiquette between men and women.Qing Ning said slowly, "Mr. Jiang, it's a cold season and there's a cold wind in
After talking about the affairs of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the current situation that Shen Kuang wanted to know, the two of them had finished drinking the hot tea in the pot.Not long after, Qing Ning opened the door and came in to add tea.Pei Muer said, "It is also because of the current complicated situation in the world that Jinling has become a place of right and wrong. Under the cover of the prosperity of Shangyuan, there are also undercurrents and treacherous clouds. Mr. Shen should be aware of these things when he is here. "Shen Kuang nodded when he heard this , "Thank you, Miss Pei , for reminding me."Pei Mu'er added, "As far as I know, there are many forces currently entrenched in Jinling City. Many parties will benefit from the war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Nanliang, so more people are afraid that they will not be able to fight. And how can we use this fire? It’s time for them to consider it more.”Pei Muer's words we
In the Hongchen Pavilion, the meeting between Shen Kuang and Pei Muer was a minor episode. Yu Xin and the others had a few more glasses of wine to talk about.I am a little envious, but I am also happy for my brother.Xu Yanran and the maid Chang Qing quietly left the Hongchen Pavilion after watching Pei Muer's performance. They came out of hiding so there were no guards to follow them.Xu Yanran had heard of Pei Muer's name a long time ago, so she came here for Pei Muer.After leaving Hongchen Pavilion, the two of them put all the previous disturbing things such as Shen Kuang behind. Changqing followed Xu Yanran and said, "Miss, where are we going now?"After hearing this, Xu Yanran looked up at the sky, saw that the time was approaching noon, and said, "Let's go home and have lunch first, and then come out later."Upon hearing this, Chang Qing subconsciously looked at her and the young lady's outfits. She said with a slightly sad face, "M
