Chapter 10: The Hundred Flowers Society

The Hundred Flowers Club is a gathering inside the Vientiane School Palace, the location is still the same as the moon viewing on August 15, choosing the stargazing platform, according to legend, there were warlocks here to observe the stars and measure the general trend of the world, hence the name.

Not far from the stargazing platform is Hoshino Lake, between the mountains and lakes is a large open space, all kinds of flowers are planted, in addition to peonies, there are peach blossoms, narcissus, spring, primrose, Ruixiang, camellia, white magnolia, purple magnolia, junzi orchid, Qionghua, begonia, peony, rhododendron, rhododendron, at this time a hundred flowers bloom in one place, red like fire, pink like xia, white like snow, it is a grand view.

The students of the school palace called for friends and companions, and climbed the stargazing platform one after another to enjoy the flowers in full bloom. There is no place to sit on the stargazing platform, and the scholars and students either sit on the ground or bring their own blankets, and there are even students with thick backgrounds who prepare drinks and pastries and other things.

Today, nearly a thousand people go up the mountain, sitting in rows. But today is different from the past years, the best place to see the most open vision, according to the reason, it should be the school palace festival wine to sit at the table, and many students to enjoy the flowers, but today's big festival wine position is really empty, the three big sacrifice wine did not come.

Pei Yu sat next to Su Lianrong and said, "This Hundred Flowers Meeting, this is the first time I have seen it, I don't know if Su Sacrifice Wine can be taught?"

"But I'm going to disappoint Pei Gongzi. Su Lianrong said lightly, Pei Yu didn't know Su Lianrong's identity, and Su Lianrong didn't know Pei Yu's identity, so Su Lianrong only regarded Pei Yu as an ordinary disciple and didn't care much, "It's also the first time I've seen the Hundred Flowers Society, and there's nothing to teach." ”

Wen Li, who was sitting on the other side of Su Lianrong, was so embarrassed when she heard this, and said in her heart: "Lian Rong has never participated in the Hundred Flowers Fair before, and the reason why I made an exception this time is not because I took the initiative to invite me, this is to give me face, and I don't want to brush my mind, and I treat me differently." ”

Thinking of this, Wen Li looked at Pei Yu again, and there was a bit of contempt and disdain in his eyes, as if he was laughing at Pei Yu for not being able to do anything.

It's just that Wen Li didn't know that the reason why Su Lianrong made an exception and agreed to his invitation was because Wen Li revealed extremely crucial news to her, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she was suspected of taking advantage of Wen Li, and she was a little reluctant in her heart. The second is because Su Lianrong didn't want to be too entangled with Wen Li at that time, and she also had some intention of coping, after all, she was participating in the Hundred Flowers Meeting, not a tryst between the two.

Pei Yu noticed Wen Li's gaze, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, thinking: "You have a family, and you still go to the Su family, do you want the Su family to be your concubine? Or do you divorce the bad chaff wife and remarry? You can't be a white wolf with empty gloves, no name, let the Su family be your outer room, right? Then you can't help but think too beautifully, I'm afraid that my master doesn't dare to have such thoughts." ”

Thinking of the master, it is inevitable to think of the master, Pei Yu hurriedly confessed in his heart: "Don't blame the master, don't blame the master, I don't mean anything else, your second elder will definitely be able to grow old together, a couple for a lifetime, and the fairy couple is nothing more than that." ”

Although Li Xuandu has never officially recognized Pei Yu as his disciple, everyone in the inn thinks so, even Pei Yu thinks so, since Li Xuan is the master, then the master is naturally Qin Su.

Su Lianrong saw that Pei Yu suddenly stopped talking, but lost her mind slightly, and she didn't think deeply, and she didn't care about what Wen Li was thinking, but focused on watching the flowers all over the mountains.

After a while, Pei Yu came back to his senses

, said: "Su Saijiu, do you know Mr. Qingping?"

Su Lianrong was stunned, she was vigilant in her heart, and she didn't know if Pei Yu was deliberately tempting or what, but she thought about it, Li Xuandu and Qin Su came to Vientiane School Palace last time to visit Sikong Great Sacrifice Wine, so they pulled the strings from her, and Qin Su helped her escape from the imperial capital to come to Vientiane School Palace, and several Great Sacrifice Wine also knew, if she deliberately said that she didn't know, it would seem that she was weak-hearted, so she nodded and admitted: "There was a relationship." ”

Pei Yu was already shouldering the heavy responsibility of spying on the secrets of the Daomen from Li Xuandu, which was something that several great sacrificial wines in the Sheji School Palace and the Vientiane School Palace knew, so he was not afraid of being suspected, and said: "I heard that Mr. Qingping is coming to Longmen Mansion in the near future, I want to visit the door, I wonder if Su Sacrificial Wine should go with me?"

Su Lianrong showed a hesitant look on her face, "At this time, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." ”

Wen Li had long wanted to speak, but at this time, he seized the opportunity and said: "Pei Yu, that Mr. Qingping is at odds with my Confucianism, what is your intention in going to see him at this time?"

"This is not true. Pei Yu Zhengse said: "When my ancestors and I returned to our hometown from the imperial capital, we were intercepted and killed by Qingluanwei and Qingyang Sect on the way. My ancestor and my husband often taught me to repay my kindness, but is it also my fault to visit my life-saving benefactor?"

Wen Li snorted coldly: "Personal grievances are small sections, and maintaining the Confucian and Taoist systems is the great righteousness, if you want to choose from them, you must naturally put the righteousness first." ”

"No, no. Pei Yu shook his head and said: "It is precisely because of my selflessness in my heart that I want to visit the life-saving benefactor openly at this time." It is precisely because of this that I want to invite Su Saijiu to go with me, so as to be a witness. ”

Wen Li saw that he had brought the topic to Su Lianrong again, and he was very annoyed, not because he suspected that Pei Yu, this kid, would really collaborate with the enemy, but because he felt that this kid was full of flowers and intestines, which was really hateful, and said: "What is the matter with your life-saving benefactor Guan Su sacrificial wine?

Pei Yu pretended to be surprised and said: "Don't you know that Wen Saijiu didn't know that Su Saijiu also had a friendship with that Qin Sect Master back then." ”

Wen Li looked at Su Lianrong in surprise.

Su Lianrong nodded slightly, "Miss Qin is a person who likes music and rhythm, we were considered friends with the qin back then, and later became the king of Jin...... It is also thanks to the help of Miss Qin that I was able to escape from the imperial capital, otherwise I am a weak woman, how can I escape from the clutches of King Jin. Several of the great sacrificial wines also knew about this. ”

Wen Li heard that the three great sacrificial wines also knew about it, so he relieved all his suspicions, and secretly wondered why he was so careless, he didn't even inquire about how the Su family came to the Vientiane School Palace, and he was not as good as Pei Yu, a kid.

Su Lianrong hesitated for a moment and said: "Pei Gongzi is right about one thing, since it is an old friend and benefactor who came, if we deliberately avoid it, one is against the teachings of the sage, and the other is that we seem to be weak-minded, as if there is something unseemly." ”

Wen Li saw that the Su family was actually moved by Pei Yu's words, and hurriedly remedied: "After all, Mr. Qingping and Miss Qin are from the rivers and lakes, and there are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes who come with them. ”

Su Lianrong looked hesitant and said, "What Wen Sai Jiu said also makes sense

。 ”

Pei Yu suddenly smiled and said: "If you want me to say, it's better not to see each other like this, cowering, weighing the benefits and disadvantages, where is there any sincerity at all." ”

Wen Li's face suddenly sank, and he said, "What do you mean by this." ”

Pei Yu said-for-tat: "The big husband is in the world, he is upright, he is right, he sits upright, he is not afraid of others playing right and wrong, if he looks forward and backwards, calculates carefully, for fear that he will be criticized, then he must have a ghost in his heart, what kind of big husband is it?"

Wen Li's face couldn't hold back, and he said angrily: "Pei family boy, what did you say?"

Pei Yu smiled: "I didn't name names, who wants to sit in the right seat?"

Wen Li's face flushed, and she was about to speak, but Su Lianrong had already gotten up, showing impatience on her face, "The two of you should argue first, I'll go to the side for a walk, and I won't bother." ”

After that, Su Lianrong didn't wait for the two of them to respond, and went straight away. Only Wen Li and Pei Yu were still sitting in the distance, staring at each other angrily through an empty cushion. It's just that it's not good for the two of them to chase Su Lianrong in front of so many people, and with Su Lianrong's temperament, if anyone is entangled, it will definitely make her feel bad, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Su Lianrong left the place where everyone gathered and walked to a remote place, along the way, her life decreased, and the fragrance of flowers gradually became stronger, which made her feel relaxed and happy, but she felt that her mood was open, and many worries were also dispersed.

At the beginning, Qin Su sent someone to contact her and ask her to join the "Taiping Inn", she was so happy with Pei Yu that she was different, she hesitated, when she left the imperial capital, she was tired of these things, and just wanted to spend the rest of her life quietly, but there were two reasons for her, one is Qin Su's kindness, although Qin Su did not coerce herdures, but requested, to do or not to do it is all up to Su Lianrong, just ask Su Lianrong If she does not agree, don't leak the inn's affairs, but Su Lianrong is not a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and she has always kept this kindness in her heart. Another reason is that Su Lianrong also understands that with the intensification of the conflict between Confucianism and Taoism, the Vientiane School Palace is not a pure land after all, she is a lonely and weak woman, and if she wants to gain a foothold in the troubled times, she must always have a choice. She is not Lu Yanbing, and she has no ability and capital to sway with the wind.

For such reasons, Su Lianrong finally chose to join the Taiping Inn and became a Tianzi partner of the "owner" faction, which belonged directly to Qin Su, and Qin Su never took the initiative to ask her to do anything, only asked her to protect herself, and the rest was to act at the opportunity, and she would consider the pros and cons by herself. Previously, she passed the book to Taiping Mountain, which was her own decision, not Qin Su's request.

Now that she has joined the "Taiping Inn", Su Lianrong began to think about the problem from the standpoint of the inn, who is this Pei Yu? He kept saying that Li Xuan was his life-saving benefactor, and he was also a disciple of the Sheji Academy, and she had also heard about what Pei Yu had done, and it was not much different from those scholars who talked about it.

So why did Pei Yu have to go to see Li Xuandu at this juncture? Just for kindness? Su Lianrong didn't think Pei Yu was that kind of downright person. Immediately afterwards, Su Lianrong thought of a possibility, Pei Yu was a spy of Confucianism, and they wanted to use the relationship between Pei Yu and Li Xuandu to place Pei Yu by Li Xuandu's side.

Thinking of this, Su Lianrong was startled, and immediately thought of sending a message to Li Xuandu and asking him to be careful of Pei Yu, but when she was about to turn back, she found that an old man dressed in a black crane was standing not far behind her.
