"Ahem."

"Miss Shen, is your throat uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine, why don't I see peach blossoms? Could it be that I caught a cold?"

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. Taohua is indeed feeling a little uncomfortable, but it's nothing serious. She'll be fine if she sleeps for another two hours."

"Oh, that's good."

This conversation took place at the breakfast table the next day. Shen Danmo spoke solemnly, seemingly with a normal expression, but Pei Yue always felt that she had another deep meaning.

Could it be that there was too much movement last night?

However, Shen Danmo is not good at martial arts, and it is impossible for him to have as sharp five senses as Ye Qi. In addition, the movement last night was not big, so it should not disturb others. Although he is now considered to be extremely talented and has practiced Even Lin Shuyue's mature body could not satisfy the blessings brought by martial arts, but Taohua was a newbie after all, so he only had a taste of it and did not work too hard.

Taohua was not so weak that she couldn't even get out of bed, but Pei Yue took pity on her and specifically let her rest for a while.

Fortunately, Shen Danmo didn't say anything weird, and instead talked about the Xianyun Review that was going to be held in the afternoon: "Don't blame me for acting on my own and ruining your possibility of shocking the literary world."

Pei Yue ate a piece of pickled cucumber, drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and asked curiously: "What do you mean by this?"

Shen Danmo said: "You wrote those two poems in Lingzhou, and then used them in the name of peach blossoms. You can't deceive me, not even those literati. The poem "Red Lotus Root Fragrance Remains in the Jade Mat Autumn" Let’s not mention it for the moment, the Su Muzhe you recited in front of Xue Tao and others is definitely not something that could have been written by Taohua. Do you know that when they heard that you were going to participate in this cultural gathering, how many people were waiting to see you make a fool of yourself? "

Pei Ning, who was diagonally across from him, frowned slightly and said, "If the third brother doesn't want to write lyrics, who can force him to do it?"

She is not an ordinary person with shallow knowledge, and she understands the principle of beauty in the forest, and Pei Yue, as a martial artist, does not need the reputation of poetry.

Shen Danmo smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Ning, some things in this world are unreasonable. Pei Yue is not a civil servant, and he does not need poetry to become famous. Of course, he does not need to care about those rotten literati. But in an occasion like Xianyun Ping, even if Even the Duke of Wei cannot use force to subjugate those scholars, because the world will ultimately be governed by scholars. I know that he does not need the praise of those scholars, but he does not need to push all scholars to the opposite side, right?"

This truth is not complicated. Pei Ning quickly understood it, nodded and said: "That's right."

Pei Yue looked at Shen Danmo, who didn't have a worried look on his face, and said with a smile: "I think Miss Shen played the drum for me yesterday."

Shen Danmo snorted lightly, without deliberately showing off, and said calmly: "You are too murderous, and I don't want to see a good Xianyunwen become a blood-soaked Shura field. I visited a few people yesterday. A big figure in the literary world talked about this matter tactfully, and they all agreed. These gentlemen are the reviewers of this year's Xianyun Review. They are all great scholars specially invited by the fourth prince. With them in charge of the overall situation, it is unlikely that this will happen. There are some blind idiots trying to tease you."

Pei Ning immediately felt relieved and praised: "Mo'er is really attentive."

Pei Yue also smiled and said, "Thank you very much, girl, for your kindness."

Shen Danmo pretended not to hear and turned to talk to Peining, but the smile on her lips betrayed her true mood.

After breakfast, Pei Yue took them to continue touring the manor. King Yan did not show up today, presumably because he was preparing for the afternoon's free speech, but the chief minister Feng Jing came specifically to pay his respects to Pei Yue and others. He was extremely respectful, and the reserve he had when they first met yesterday disappeared. Pei Yue knew the reason for this change very well, not only because he and King Yan reached a cooperation, but also because the other party wanted to use this low profile to eliminate yesterday That little thought.

In the afternoon, Peach Blossom finally appeared in front of everyone. Even though there was no abnormality in her body, the shyness and spring in her eyebrows could not be hidden from these people's eyes.

Shen Danmo glanced at Pei Yue strangely, making him a little confused about her thoughts.

Of course Pei Yue didn't know. What's strange to Shen Danmo is that Pei Yue has just taken this step now. After all, for a marquis, it's unusual to have so few talents in the house. Thinking of this, Shen Danmo's evaluation of Pei Yue became even more intense. A little higher, because it can be seen from this incident that Pei Yue is not the kind of man who indulges in wine and sex, even though he already has enough power to make many people envious.

Pei Ning's reaction was completely different. After discovering Tao Hua's abnormality, she did not look at Pei Yue. Instead, she deliberately stayed a few steps behind and pulled Tao Hua to whisper, all of which were words of concern and advice.

Under the personal guidance of Chief Shi Feng Jing, the group walked along the tree-lined path to the main building of Xianyun Village.

Qingyun Pavilion.

Putting aside the gorgeous appearance of this building, the interior is more like a banquet hall that Pei Yue had seen in his previous life.

Of course it's not a closed banquet hall.

Qingyun Pavilion is built on a gentle hill, with rolled-up windows on all sides. There are eight carved and relief columns inside, and seventy-six standing tables are placed in them. Each standing table houses a distinguished guest.

This is the infield that Shen Danmo mentioned before.

Only distinguished guests approved by King Yan and those famous scholars can enter the inner court, only a few per person.

There is a high platform to the north, where the Wenhui Commentary will be located.

Being in Qingyun Pavilion, you can not only review poems and articles, but also enjoy the mountain scenery. You can have good wine and delicious food one after another. It can be said that you are extremely elegant and romantic. If you can get the approval of the great scholars in the literary world, it will take only two or three days to spread the word. Throughout Kyoto, whether it is to become famous or to participate in the imperial examination, it can be regarded as a shortcut for most people.

Pei Yue quickly figured out the details and couldn't help but admire the King of Yan. If this literary meeting was only held by chance, it might not mean much. But as far as he knew, Xianyun Ping was held once a year and had been held for more than ten years. Years, how many literati got opportunities from King Yan?

As long as these people grow up in the officialdom, what a profound foundation will they have?

Perhaps they will not be able to provide much support to King Yan in a short period of time, but as long as this conference is carried out persistently, there will definitely be more and more civil servants in the court who are kind and grateful to King Yan in the future.

After Pei Yue and his entourage came in, they left, attracting the attention of the crowd.

Some people stared at him, while others looked at Shen Danmo and Pei Ning.

Among the crowd, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes tilted his head slightly, and his followers immediately came over.

"That is Pei Yue, the Marquis of Zhongshan?"

"Yes, Master."

"The one on his left is Lord Shen's daughter?"

"Yes, Master."

"Where's the one on the right?"

"Back to the young master, it is said that she is the eldest lady of Dingguo Mansion, that is, the eldest sister of Marquis Pei. Although Marquis Pei has renounced the Pei family and has nothing to do with Dingguo Mansion, he is very close to that Miss Pei and even took the initiative to help her.

She rejected the favor of the imperial concubine."

The attendant spoke very vaguely, but the young man already understood.

He glanced at Pei Ning, his eyes were pure and gentle, nodded slowly, then withdrew his gaze and sat quietly and calmly.
