"Sima Xiangru was an official at the beginning when he went to Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty. He was talented, handsome, confident and conceited. He wanted to show his ambitions, but was appointed as an official who was riding a horse and hunting by Emperor Jing of Han. This naturally made Sima Xiangru's appetite very bad, just like a phoenix catching a deer and a sheep."

Hua Nong looked up and saw that the master did not notice them. He was still talking from Sima Yuanji from a distance, and whispered: "I have heard of Sima Xiangru, but I know his name, so I know the story. You guy, tell me quickly."

Zhu Qingsheng continued: "When Sima Xiangru was depressed and unsuccessful, the noble man in his life appeared. He was King Xiao of Liang from Liang State, the younger brother of Emperor Jing of Han. He was also very talented. He heard that Sima Xiangru was famous for a long time, so he strongly invited Sima Xiangru to his subordinates. Sima Xiangru met his confidant and was already sick as an excuse to resign from his official position and went to Liang State to find King Xiao of Liang."

"At that time, the Liang Kingdom was very literary and good at writing and literati. Sima Xiangru was like a fish in water there, and they made friends with people of all knowledgeable people. How could that be said? There were great scholars in talking and laughing, but no white dicks in contact with each other. Sima Xiangru soon wrote a masterpiece like "Zixu Fu". When King Liang was happy, he even gave him the famous "Lu Qiqin".

"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. King Xiao of Liang died of illness. Sima Xiangru lost this confidant and backer and returned to his hometown. However, he was a literati, without an official position, no title, and no other skills. He only had a lot of talent."

Hua Nong said, "Yes, all literati are like this. They all respect themselves as noble and look down on each other. But once they lose their official position, they will be unable to do anything, and even supporting themselves will become a problem."

Zhu Qingsheng hurriedly said, "You can't say that you can't say that you are not lucky enough and you haven't met a noble person. Sima Xiangru was poor and miserable during that time, and happened to have a friend who was a county magistrate, so he enthusiastically invited Sima Xiangru to visit him. Sima Xiangru was worried about his family's situation and went there immediately."

"After Sima Xiangru went, that friend was very happy. After all, there were too few scholars like Sima Xiangru. He invited him to visit his home every now and then, but what he said was all about the officialdom. Sima Xiangru was very happy at first, and the corresponding sentences were like you said, but as you said, he was self-righteous and pretentious, so how could he be interested in the officialdom? He became annoyed soon."

"That friend knew his friend's temper. Instead of being angry, he praised Sima Xiangru even more. This incident spread to the local wealthy prince Zhuo... Well, it's a bit like your grandfather, they are all very rich."

Hua Nong blew Zhu Qingsheng's head hard and whispered: "You guy, you dare to talk about my grandfather."

Zhu Qingsheng rubbed his head and said helplessly: "It's true, your grandfather is indeed very rich." He remembered what he said just now and then said: "When Kingsun Zhuo heard that there was such a noble and talented scholar, he immediately invited him to visit his home, and wanted to see him as if he had heard of it."

"In theory, Sima Xiangru is even more reluctant to come for such business matters and businessmen..." Before Zhu Qingsheng finished speaking, Hua Leng knocked on the forehead hard and smiled bitterly: "Miss Second, what's wrong with me?"

Hua Nong said angrily: "Who told you to say my grandfather again, what's wrong with the merchants, what's wrong with the businessmen? If it weren't for my grandfather, you might still be crowding in the inn."

Facing this tricky and weird second lady, Zhu Qingsheng really had no choice but to say, "I mean Sima Xiangru thinks so, didn't you say that he is very noble." Seeing that the flower was not knocking on his forehead, she continued, "In fact, Sima Xiangru heard that Zhuo Wangsun has a very beautiful daughter, Zhuo Wenjun. She had a marriage once, but unfortunately, her husband died of illness not long after she got married, so she had to go back to her parents' home."

"Zhuo Wenjun is also very famous. According to legend, she looks beautiful and unparalleled, like a lotus, proficient in music, and good at playing the piano. She is the kind of woman Sima Xiangru likes. She has long wanted to meet her for a long time. When she saw Zhuo Wangsun invite him, she agreed without saying a word and set off for the banquet."

Hua Nong tilted his head and looked at him, and asked, "Are you men so lustful? The noble literati are lustful, the heavy-weight emperor is lustful, and even the farmers who are content with farming are lustful."

Zhu Qingsheng never expected that she would say such words. Her personality was refreshing and clear, and she was really different from other girls. But she didn't know what to say, and she stammered: "Some people are like this, some people aren't like this."

Hua Nong laughed: "Boy, do you think I'm pretty?"

She smiled with a smile, her skin was tender and smooth, her eyes were like stars in the dark, and the moon reflected in her eyes emitted two sparkling lights. Smelling the faint jasmine fragrance, Zhu Qingsheng's heart thumped twice, and he couldn't help but say, "It looks so good, so beautiful." As soon as he said it, he immediately regretted it. Combined with what Hua Nong said just now, isn't he a lustful person?

Hua Nong laughed and said, "That's right. My father said that if a man doesn't even coax a woman, he is the stupidest fool. Then you continue, Sima Xiangru goes to the banquet, and then what?"

"Then, I naturally drank and had a lot of fun. Other guests also heard that Sima Xiangru had been very talented for a long time. After drinking, they suggested that Sima Xiangru write a poem, which was to help the wine, and to see if Sima Xiangru was really like the rumored one."

"Sima Xiangru was not easy to refuse. As he stood up and thought, he happened to see a beautiful figure behind the screen, as if a beautiful woman was hiding and eavesdropping on their conversation. Sima Yuan and his thoughts were that the maids and servants in the mansion would not have such courage to hide behind the screen. The only possibility was Miss Zhuo Wenjun Zhuo, whom he had long admired."

"Actually, it is Zhuo Wenjun who is hiding behind the screen. She is arrogant and talented, has a high vision, and looks down on ordinary people. But after reading Sima Xiangru's poems, she has dissolved like a glacier, and she has developed a bit of love for him. Today, I heard that Sima Xiangru has come and is curious to hide behind the screen to see what kind of person he is."

Hua Nongxi smiled and said, "I will know what happened next. Is it "The Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"? Only people like Sima Xiangru can do it."

"Yes, yes, Sima Xiangru's two sentences: There is a beautiful lady in the boudoir, and the room is close to the house and the people are poisoning my heart. Why do you meet the mandarin ducks? Hu Jie is flying together! He even confessed his feelings directly to Zhuo Wenjun. Although Zhuo Wenjun knew that Sima Xiangru was outstanding and unrestrained, he did not expect that he was so straightforward and bold. His heart was beating like a bumpy heart and joy, and he knew that he would not miss the opportunity. He would not come again. He met Sima Xiangru tonight. He would not know when he would meet again next day. At that time, he might have sent a little maid to pour wine and serve food, and secretly gave his feelings."

"That's it, while other guests were still drinking and singing, they gathered in the back garden late at night. They fell in love with each other at first sight, and they were unforgettable. Zhuo Wenjun couldn't help but elope with Sima Xiangru that night, just like our master..." Speaking of this, I suddenly felt something was wrong. How could I arrange the master like this? But I thought to myself: In ancient times, Sima Xiangru secretly met Zhuo Wenjun in the back garden late at night. Now, my master Sima Yuan and my master met Nanyao Fairy in the pavilion in the middle of the night. It was two good stories, but it was really a coincidence for them to have the same surname.

"You think so too. I'll tell you another secret," Hua Nong lowered his voice and said, "In our master's sect, such a secret is often circulated, related to your master, and it's... "

When Zhu Qingsheng saw that her voice was getting lower and lower, he gradually became unheard in the end, and he listened to her involuntarily, and only heard her whisper: "Boy, this secret is, I won't tell you."

Zhu Qingsheng was stunned and then looked at his master. They were still talking in the pavilion, but they were both sitting down behind the stone table, one east and the other west, far apart.

Seeing him looking confused, Hua Nong couldn't help but feel funny and said, "You little brat, it's not difficult to know this secret. Go out with me tomorrow and look for a trip to Foshan."

Zhu Qingsheng said strangely: "Looking at Foshan? What are you going there to do?"

Hua Nong said, "Isn't it my grandfather's 60th birthday in a few days? I was about to prepare some gifts for him, including gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and treasures. I thought he was tired of seeing it. I heard that there are rare flowers and plants in Foshan and auspicious beasts. I wanted to find two rare objects as birthday gifts, but I was embarrassed to bother my master, so I had to find you. Tonight I saw that you have good skills in receiving pastries. It turns out that there are no weak soldiers in front of the famous general. Although it is not as good as your master or as good as me, it is enough."

Zhu Qingsheng was given a sweet date by her, and then he made another blow. He smiled bitterly, thinking that his master and apprentice could not live in the house for free here, so looking for two rare flowers and plants was a blessing.

He agreed immediately: "Okay, when will you set out tomorrow morning?"

Hua Nong laughed and said, "Of course, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. Let's leave before dawn, so that others will not be able to see it, and we will not be able to go. Go back and prepare quickly and don't oversleep."

"This is natural," Zhu Qingsheng was about to turn around and leave, but saw Hua Lan erecting his right palm in front of him, and couldn't help but say wonderingly: "What are you doing?"

"It's a swearing to swear by the ancients."

"Well, I'm never late."

As the two of them slapped their palms, their danger came quietly.
