Guangling City’s annual Dragon Boat Festival Festival kicked off on Taohua Island.

On this day, there were an endless stream of ferries on Huaping Lake, and the pier by the lakeside was even more crowded.

Of course, the largest number of them are the literati in Guangling City, followed by the beauties hiding in boudoir.

This scene was more lively than the one on March 3rd when the third lady of Zhongli Mansion came to choose her son-in-law Yiwen——

After all, the status of the third lady of the Zhongli Mansion is too high, and there are still many literati who understand the difference.

And those beauties also know that this is the home court of Miss Zhongli, and they will look too dim under the brilliance of Miss Zhongli.

But today it's different.

Guangling City holds several cultural gatherings every year. This Dragon Boat Festival literary gathering is second only to the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is the best opportunity for all talented people to show off their talents, and it is also an excellent opportunity for beauties to choose their favorite people.

Especially after hearing that this year's literary event was held on Peach Blossom Island, it aroused the eager anticipation of the talented and beautiful people.

The most famous merchants in the world live on Peach Blossom Island!

He is also one of the judges of this literary conference!

I think that the top-ranked poems produced by this cultural fair can be personally composed by the Shang family to a wonderful piece of music.

Huo Shufan, Shen Qiaodie and others also arrived at this pier early in the morning, but unexpectedly the boatman said that the Peach Blossom Island side was not open yet.

So they waited until nearly noon before the first batch boarded the ferry and arrived at Peach Blossom Island.

The moment they set foot on Peach Blossom Island...

Huo Shufan suddenly stood still and looked forward.

The nearly a hundred teenagers who crowded the boat stopped and looked ahead!

Just three feet in front of them, on the bluestone corridor in front of the peach garden, there was a door!

There is a line of large characters written on the lintel:

“Welcome everyone to come and participate in the Dragon Boat Festival Gala named Peach Blossom Brewing!”

There is also a message hanging on the door frame:

“Guangling fine wine peach blossom wine,

The jade bowl holds amber light!"

Just behind that door, flags of five colors were erected on both sides of the road as far as the eye could see.

It was a small triangular flag that was not too big. There were only three words on the flag: Peach Blossom Stuffed Rice!

"…What does this mean?"

Huo Shufan took a breath and asked this question.

Wen Huan, who was on his right, pondered for a moment, then suddenly frowned: "Didn't that fool Li Chenan let out the news and say that the name of the wine brewed in his brewing workshop is Peach Blossom Niang!"

Huo Shufan frowned, "So... he is using this literary party to promote his wine?"

Shen Qiaodie on the side said: "Of course it is! It seems that this person has a close relationship with the Shang family!"

She pondered for a moment and then said doubtfully: "This idea is really wonderful! In this way, everyone in Guangling City will know about it before his peach blossom wine has even been brewed half a drop!"

"He would never have such a whimsical idea... Could it be that Mr. Hua gave him the idea? Could it be that Mr. Hua connected him with the Shang family and built a bridge?"

Huo Shufan shook his head: "At that time, no one knew that this literary event would be held on Peach Blossom Island. Now that Mr. Hua has arrived in Kyoto for many days, it is too late to even exchange letters."

"But there is really an expert behind this kid. It seems like we need to ask grandpa to send someone to check it out."

"Yeah!" Shen Qiaodie nodded and suddenly laughed again, "But this is also a good thing!"

Huo Shufan glanced at her in surprise: "How can this be a good thing?"

"Shu Fan, think about it, he made this wine famous, but later he went on stage and wrote poems, and we revealed his dirty heart..."

Shen Qiaodie's eyes narrowed, but the smile on her face did not disappear, "His reputation will definitely stink at that moment! Then his peach blossom stuffed wine... will of course stink as well!"

"As long as all the literati hate him and are criticized verbally and writtenly, no matter how good his peach blossom wine is, not many people will be willing to buy it!"

"He thought he could fly very high with this momentum, but he didn't know that once he fell... he would fall into a situation of eternal destruction!"

Huo Shufan understood, and he also showed a smile, "Qiaodie is really thinking about Linglong, then let's put on a good show with him and Li Chenan later!"

…

…

The handsome men and women who landed on Peach Blossom Island were obviously shocked by this door.

When they heard that peach blossom wine was the wine that Li Chenan was about to introduce to the world, some were amazed, some were ridiculing, and some were smiling.

Wen Xiaowan, the oiran of Ningxiang Tower who was invited to Peach Blossom Island, just pursed her lips and smiled.

She had never drank Huapingchun in the tavern in Erjinggou Alley, but the customers who came to her place praised it very much, so she heard the name Li Chenan.

I also know some of Li Chenan’s past stories.

But this person and his story had nothing to do with her, so she was just curious about it.

I didn't expect that when I arrived at Peach Blossom Island today, I would see him doing something like this again.

This guy is quite interesting.

I heard that the song "Die Lian Hua" that appeared on March 3rd was written by him. This fool... is actually a bit different in his stupidity.

I heard that he is also one of the invitees to today's Literary Society. Let's see what other poems he can produce.

Wen Xiaowan took several of her maids, followed by several musicians holding musical instruments. She walked into the door, stepped onto the bluestone corridor, and looked at the flags fluttering in the wind. Those three words "peach blossom stuffing" are like this all the way.

She turned a corner in front of a lotus pond and walked in the other direction of Peach Blossom Island.

This is not the road leading to the square, so we gradually move towards a quiet place.

She came to a five-story flat tower and left her entourage outside the tower. She climbed the tower alone and reached the fifth floor.

The layout upstairs is still extremely elegant.

There is a faint hint of sandalwood lingering in the nose.

There is a sandalwood coffee table under a window, and sitting next to the coffee table is an old man wearing gray and white linen clothes.

He is a businessman.

He was not drinking tea.

There was a small bowl in front of him, and he held a small copper hammer in his hand. He was tapping the small bowl gently and rhythmically with his eyes closed.

Wen Xiaowan lowered her steps and stood in front of the Shang family with her head bowed.

Master Shang still didn't open his eyes, and before the hammer fell again, his brows suddenly frowned, and he sighed softly after a moment.

"sit!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Do you have any clues about the Ichthyosaurus Club?"

"Returning to your venerable sir, there is something fishy about that matter."

"What's strange?"

"That night, I met a young man on the second floor of Zhuoyu Xiaozhu. But he was masked and I don't know what he looked like... But he said that he was going to kill Song Yuanping, so I didn't do anything to him."

"Then Song Yuanping came back, and the slave led Lu Lianying away. Then a master wearing a bamboo hat came, and he killed Lu Lianying with a sword. When the slave returned to the second floor... Song Yuanping was already dead.

That young man is nowhere to be found, and that list of names... the slaves are dead, and that list of names is also missing!"

Shang Di opened his eyes, "So that boy has the list?"

"As it should be!"

"If you see him, can you recognize him?"

"...Yes! His eyes left a deep impression on this slave."

"Okay, today you just have to see if he is among these teenagers!"

"In addition, the position of the embroiderer of the Lijing Department in Guangling City has been vacant for a long time. The fourth princess, Ning Chuchu, came to Guangling City once before. Is there an embroiderer now?"

"Replying to your lord, this servant has not been summoned by the embroidery order yet."
