Harm others and harm yourself.

What Cui Xuan said was serious, but it was not unreasonable.

"It's my brother's fault to hit you." Cui Xuan stood up and raised his hand to caress Cui Shexi's head, "Next time I will tell you carefully and you can reflect on it, okay?"

Cui Xuan said sincerely. Cui Shexi looked up at him with a gentle expression on his face, tilted his head awkwardly and said: "Well, then it's settled."

"Tell me carefully from now on and don't hit me again!"

He is already eighteen years old, so he also wants to save face, okay?

Cui Xuan chuckled and said: "Okay."

Hearing this, the corners of Cui Shexi's lips raised slightly. He put his fist to his lips and coughed, "That's it, I'm hungry."

"I've prepared food for you."

"And money..."

"I'll give you some more."

"What about going to Beijing?"

"Other things are easy to talk about. There is no need to discuss the matter of going to Beijing."

"you--"

"When wading into streams, you must know when enough is enough and no more bargaining."

"……oh."

The wind blows again, and the catkins move with the wind, rising and falling, but they swing higher each time. The catkins circle upward, overlooking the world. Outside the wall, there are crowds of people rushing and making noise, and all living beings are in various forms. Inside the wall, there is order, peace and tranquility.

In the open space, two figures, one tall and one short, one calm and leisurely, the other with strange postures, walked in the same pace, slowly and slowly, slowly moving away.

Diligent people like to gossip when they have solved the problem of food and clothing, while most people in the capital have no problem of food and clothing and have a relatively rich spiritual life, but they also like gossip.

You know your own affairs tacitly, but you always like to gossip about other people's affairs. As long as you think about it, no matter how tightly you cover it up, there will always be rumors. Even if there are legends, legendary stories can be publicized by storytellers in restaurants.

Another scene, passed around, either gone too far, or derived into many versions, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

Rumors about the disease "Ember" have come. Yes, after the ceremony of "Ji Ji", "Ember" has officially appeared in front of people, so there are all kinds of greetings and posts about friendship, but "Ember" doesn't accept any of them.

Firstly, because they were not familiar with each other, Yan Yan had no intention of making friends, and secondly, because his body did not allow it, he was recuperating in the hospital.

In short, he stayed behind closed doors, and disappeared from the public after receiving the Hairpin Ceremony.

"The rumors are true. This young lady is really delicate. She fell ill after being frightened by Wei Guanlan."

"Hey, what are you talking about? It's obvious that Miss Duan is physically weak, and this time she collapsed from the exhaustion of Ji Xili."

"How could it be because of the gift of haircut? It's obvious that I spent a lot of time dealing with Wei Guanlan."

"Why did I hear that he was injured?"

"Are you injured? Don't you mean you have a fever?"

"The doctor in charge said that he had a fever, but Miss Duan was afraid of the pain and refused to take medicine."

"..."

Oh, it turns out that the Miss Duan I saw at the ceremony was dignified and elegant. She was reasonable and well-founded when facing Wei Guanlan. She was still decent and showed no fear. I thought she was an extremely mature and steady boudoir lady, but did she actually have such a daughter-in-law side?

?

My little daughter’s family is afraid of suffering and doesn’t like to take medicine!

In addition to the gossip about this mysterious lady of the Duan family, the people in the capital also like to discuss the poetry meeting held by Dengxianlou and Lang Tingxuan.

"Poetry party?"

Under the skylight, next to the pond and the low table, Yi Yan was dressed in a light spring dress of celestial color. Her hair was lightly held up by a hairband of the same color. Her skin was tinged with blood under the light, and the spring light looked softer to her eyes.

Yan Yan is holding the chess pieces and playing chess with Duan Chang.

On the chessboard, two characters, black and white, are facing each other, and they are evenly matched, with neither color giving in to the other.

"The Poetry Fair is a matter for literati and scholars, and I am not one of them. How could my brother think of taking me there?"

Ember was a little surprised.

Duan Li replied: "I want to take the young lady out to relax. There will be a small lantern festival tonight. I heard that there are also lantern riddles to guess. Girls from the capital and even ordinary people can join in the fun."

When it was the turn of the ember to fall, she found the right position and placed it slowly without thinking too much.

As soon as the black piece fell, the originally evenly matched pattern on the chessboard changed, with the black piece taking the advantage.

Duan Chang couldn't help but frown. He held the white piece in his hand and rubbed it repeatedly. He looked at the chessboard and fell into thought.

"I……"

"Go if I tell you to. Don't stay at home all day. It's good to go out for a walk and be lively."

Before Yu Yan could say his words of rejection, he was interrupted by Duan Chang.

Duan Chang glanced at Yu Ember, then continued to frown at the chessboard. He snorted, "You are weak, but you are not as delicate as the rumors say."

Yu Yan smiled and reminded: "Grandpa, it's your turn."

Duan Chang waved his hand to indicate to the ember not to urge it, "I have no regrets about it. I have to think carefully about what to urge."

"Miss, are you going? If you go, the master will be very happy."

Yi Jin looked at Duan Li's expectant eyes, and then at Duan Chang who was still frowning as he considered where to make his move. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed.

Ember asked, "When?"

Duan Li said: "Young time tonight."

"I understand. Go and talk to your brother. I will be on time."

Duan Li responded and left, but Duan Chang also chased them away.

Duan Chang first glanced at the sky, then rolled up his sleeves and threw the chess pieces in his hands into the chess box, saying: "It's getting late, so I have to prepare in advance for going to the lantern festival at night."

As he spoke, Duan Chang got up from the futon, swept his sleeves, straightened his robe, and left leisurely.

She turned around again in the middle and saw the embers still in the same place. His eyes couldn't help but fall on her left shoulder, but they left immediately.

The injuries should be all healed now, right?

Thinking of Yu Yanfang approaching him to discuss terms soon after he returned, he couldn't help but sigh.

Why bother? Isn't it better to be a carefree boudoir lady at home? If you have to intervene in dangerous things, you won't say anything even if you get hurt during the assessment, for fear that he won't agree.

Why force yourself?

"Grandpa, do you have anything else to tell me?"

After thinking for a while, Duan Chang said: "Your brother..."

"I know that my grandfather is worried about my brother's safety, and is afraid that Wei Guanlan will take advantage of the chaos to harm us again." Yu Jin assured Duan Chang, "I will protect my brother well."

Duan Chang opened his mouth, swallowed again, and finally just hummed, added "You should be more careful yourself," and then went to the study to continue reviewing the memorial.

After Duan Chang left, Yi Yan sat on the futon, raised her hand to disrupt the unfinished chess game, and then picked up the chess pieces one by one. She lowered her eyes, making it difficult for people to see her expression, and her movements were very fast.

Slowly, it looks very serious.

Dengxianlou and Langtingxuan are the largest restaurant and the largest clothing store in the capital respectively. They have always been popular. The poetry meeting was held this time because Cui Daru of the Cui family in Qinghe will soon come to give lectures with his disciples.

, Mr. Qingyi and other well-known literati in the world came to debate and seek advice. As a result, the world's literati heard the news and came to the capital together. Dengxianlou and Langtingxuan decided to hold poetry gatherings to meet friends through literature, so as to increase their reputation.

.

Dengxianlou gave out the venue, Langtingxuan gave out prizes, and held a poetry meeting to entertain the world's literati, pleasing others and enjoying themselves.

Moreover, literati and poets, if they wrote any famous works in their restaurant, then their restaurant would also become a famous restaurant, right?
