Chapter 154 Yihonglou Ecstasy Cave

When Chang Jin and the others returned to the inn, they saw a scholar sitting under the plum tree holding a folding fan in their hands to cool off. The scholar heard footsteps coming and looked up immediately. Seeing the two of them clearly, he greeted them with a smile and saluted, "The two brothers are polite. Their surname is Ding, their name is Yue, and their name is Chengwen. They are from Linhe County. I heard the waiter say that two scholars were staying in the inn, so Chengwen wanted to visit them. I never thought that the two of them would go out."

Chang Jin had already wanted to make friends, and he hurriedly returned the gift and introduced himself and Wang Qinian.

"Chang Jin, Chang Yunsheng, why does this name sound familiar?" After hearing their introduction, Ding Yue was a little confused. Then he became excited: "Brother, I left a thousand miles of sight on the immortal building in Wanshan Mansion, and went to a higher level, Chang Yunsheng?"

"If there was no second Chang Yunsheng here, then Chengwen would not admit his mistake." Chang Jin smiled bitterly. It seemed that he was really famous, although that was not his original intention.

The three of them are scholars, so there are naturally many topics to talk about.

When it comes to age, Ding Yue is the youngest. But he is active in thinking and is not a person who studies hard. When talking about Confucianism, he has his own opinions.

Chang Jin was not surprised by this. He checked this person's fortune in the afternoon, and his literary talent was brilliant, so it was normal to have such knowledge.

After chatting for a while, they became familiar with each other. Ding Yue asked, "Wanshan Huyang's two palaces are nearly a thousand miles apart. The two brothers are not at home to prepare for the hospital examination. What are they doing here?"

"Haha, there is still some time before the examination in the hospital. We want to take this opportunity to travel to the states of the Great Yan Dynasty and gain a better understanding." Chang Jin answered.

After hearing the two of them traveling here, Ding Yue was a little envious: "Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is what Confucian scholars should do. Chengwen has always had this plan, but he didn't have the chance..."

As the three of them were talking, they suddenly heard a hoarse voice coming from outside: "Chengwen, I haven't gone out to make friends. I thought I wouldn't see you today."

Chang Jin turned his head and found that the person who came was dressed in a scholar, but his face was pale and his eyes were covered with bloodshots. His every move gave people a sense of frivolity.

Looking at its luck, it has two parts red, but it is shaky and declining.

"Brother Ziyou, you are here." Ding Yue was also surprised when he saw the visitor and stood up and said, "Two brothers, I'll introduce you to you. This is my friend Li Shunchang, whose name is Ziyou. Brother Ziyou, this person is Chang Jin Chang Yunsheng..."

Li Shunchang had something in his mind. When he heard Ding Yue introduce them, he just smiled reluctantly and said, "Hello, two."

Seeing that the visitor looked negligent, Chang Jin and Wang Qinian were displeased and their expressions were slightly lighter and returned the courtesy.

Ding Yue certainly knew that he didn't listen to his words in his heart. He nodded apologetically at Chang Jin and the others, and then asked: "Brother Ziyou, you are not staying in the rich and gentle country, why do you have free time to come to me today?"

Li Shunchang looked at the two people next to him with a little embarrassed look and said, "I want to trouble Chengwen for some private matters, let's talk about it in your room."

"Okay, my brothers, let's lose your companion." Ding Yue bowed to them with apologies with a look of apology.

"Chengwen please let me do it." Knowing that the other party had something important, the two of them were inconvenient to disturb them, so they sat on the stone bench in the yard to rest.

Soon, a loud shout came from the room: "Ding Chengwen, I'm wrong about you. I just don't borrow money, so I'll leave you here."

After saying that, Li Shunchang slammed the door out in anger.

"Brother Ziyou, wait." Ding Yue chased out of the door and grabbed the other party's sleeve, "Listen to my advice, don't go to Yihonglou again. Think about it carefully, then Huo Wanniang is the first prostitute. If you really want to be a good man, it is impossible to do without tens of thousands of taels of silver as a betrothal gift. How could the madam only cost three hundred taels of silver?

It must be that you have no money on you now and you have occupied her daughter for nothing, so you want to send you out. It’s just that you spent a lot of money in Yihonglou before and it’s hard to drive it away directly, so you came up with such a trick, which is limited to you to make up 300 taels of silver in half a month. If you don’t get it in half a month, you will naturally be embarrassed to come to the door again.”

"Chengwen, Brother Yu will ask you one thing, just say whether to borrow this money or not? Don't tell me so much useless." Li Shunchang asked in a little shame when he saw outsiders in the courtyard.

Ding Yue shook his head slowly: "Brother Ziyou, if you plan to return to your hometown, I can lend you a few taels of silver as a means of money. As for three hundred taels of silver, I will not lend it even if I have one."

"If you don't lend it, I'll borrow it from someone else. I'll admit your mistake as a friend," said Li Shunchang, shook his sleeves and left with great strides.

"Let the two laugh at each other" and sent Li Shunchang away, Ding Yue shook his head with a wry smile.

Seeing that he was frowning, Wang Qinian asked curiously: "Chengwen, what are the difficulties encountered?"

"I have nothing to do, but my friend is in trouble..." Ding Yue sighed and said, "We came to Huyang Mansion together to participate in the mansion examination. I never thought that he was obsessed with a woman named Huo Wanniang in the Jiaofangsi and stayed in Yihong Building every day. Now he is stranded in the mansion for several months, and his waist has been exhausted... I just asked me to borrow 500 taels of silver, saying that the madam wanted to sell Huo Wanniang to him.

I have asked someone to inquire about Huo Wanniang, but it is not a good-looking lamp at all. Since I was thirteen years old, I am now 19 years old. In these seven years, I have experienced so many princes and grandchildren. They are all confused and have lost their family and are willing to lose their family without hesitation.

I advised him to give up just now, but unfortunately my friend seemed to be crazy and refused at all. He even said that Huo Wanniang treated him sincerely... Now he wants to break off diplomatic relations with me."

"It's not wrong to Chengwen do this." After hearing his narrative, Chang Jin and Wang Qinian shook their heads one after another. In this world, Confucian scholar Zuma Zhangtai is a common thing, but the key is to have self-knowledge. Those who give everything to Li Shunchang but don't repent, are really shameful.

It’s just that both of them are outsiders and are not familiar with Li Shunchang, so it’s not convenient to say anything more.

Immediately, the topic was staggered, the customs and customs of various parts of the Great Yan Dynasty.

It was summer long, and the three of them sat in the yard for nearly two hours before the surroundings gradually became darker.

The weather was still hot and the three of them were unwilling to go back to their room to rest, so they simply asked the waiter to send some wine and food, raise their glasses to enjoy the moon, and then continue to talk about the topic just now.

When talking about the excitement, Ding Yue suddenly spoke: "Tonight, the moon is in the sky. Why don't Brother Yunsheng write a poem? It can be regarded as helping me and Brother Qingyuan to enjoy the wine?"

"Yes, Yunsheng, I haven't heard you write poems for a long time since I met the Immortal Tower." Wang Qinian also advised.

"Okay," Chang Jin did not refuse, thought for a moment, pointed to the bright moon in the sky and said, "Last night is not full tonight, but I suspect that the beauty of the moon is reduced. How many times can I get when a twelve degrees of a year be?

Although no one tells the various stories of the Heavenly Palace in this world, there are also stories about the Summer Palace. There is nothing wrong with Chang Jin's poems.

After reading a few sentences, Ding Yue and Wang Qinian savored them carefully. This poem, like the poem "Climbing into the Immortal Tower", seems simple, but is thought-provoking.

"How many times can you get when you have a twelve degrees in a year? Brother Yunsheng is indeed a talented person. I wish you a cup for this poem." Ding Yue reacted for a moment and hurriedly raised his glass.

"Chengwen mischievously praised it." Chang Jin hurriedly picked up his wine glass.

After drinking, Ding Yue said loudly: "Brother Yunsheng's poem talks about my heart. Now the Great Yan Dynasty is full of vast worlds, and gods and demons are coming. We Confucians should live up to the young, and even know that they cannot do it. If I enter the court in the next year, I will definitely return the world to this world."

"Yes" Wang Qinian was excited to hear this: "We should encourage each other with this poem."

"Encourage with you" the three of them cried a cup heavily.

They were in a state of great enthusiasm, but two coughs came from the gate of the yard, but Li Shunchang left and returned.

"Brother Ziyou, why are you back?" Seeing the person coming clearly, Ding Yue stood up from the table.

Li Shunchang said embarrassedly: "Chengwen, I was not lucky when I said money. Brother Yu finally understood this sentence. He ran for half a day in the afternoon and didn't borrow a penny. Brother Yu was penniless and had all the valuable things pawned. Now he has no place to go, and I wonder if Chengwen can do it for a convenience. How many days will he take me in?"

"No problem." Ding Yue knew that the other party had said something angry before, so he did not blame him. Then he introduced to Li Shunchang: "Brother Ziyou, these two are friends I just made, and I introduced them to you in the afternoon."

"Oh, oh, hello." Li Shunchang was not thinking about it and said hello in a daze.

"Meeting is fate. If Brother Ziyou is fine, how about sitting down and having a drink?" Chang Jin invited politely. I really don't know how Ding Yue would make friends with this person. When he remembered Pu Yukai, he knew it again. Nowadays, who have few bad friends?

Wang Qinian over there was the same, and he returned the favor with coldness.

With Li Shunchang joining, there is no longer the lively atmosphere on the table.

Several people drank a few more glasses of wine. Chang Jin didn't want to stay too long, so he spoke, "The heat has disappeared now, and it's getting late, so let's go back to the room to rest."

"Okay," Wang Qinian agreed.

Seeing Ding Yue nodding, Chang Jin immediately called the waiter, tidy up the table, and then went back to his room to rest.

I had a great conversation with Ding Yue and the others before, but Chang Jin forgot to encounter the incident in front of the City God Temple during the day. Now I calmed down and remembered that it was not too late, so why not go outside the government office to take a look?

After a few breaths, the Yin Spirit floated out and jumped above the inn.

When he pressed the sword and looked around, the evil spirit was strong and there was a faint pressure around him. This pressure was born from the human fortune of Huyang Prefecture. Chang Jin did not care about it. After distinguishing the direction, he quickly rushed to one place.

After a moment, he had already arrived in front of the government office. After checking the luck above from afar, Chang Jin was a little stunned.

Previously, when he saw the head of the prefect Shang in Chenghuang Temple, he knew that the order in the Wanshan Mansion had collapsed, but he never thought that the luck above the government office had declined to such a level. He could barely have a little blue color, and the remaining red and white aura was constantly eroded by resentment.

This kind of place is probably free to enter and exit ordinary ghosts.

Chang Jin sighed a little in his heart and fell towards the government office. As soon as he approached, the seal of the government that was nourished by his luck fell down and smashed violently against the Yin God.
