Seventy-five,
After the night banquet, King Xu Mian of Wei sent the carriage of the royal mansion to deliver the two boxes of silver to the Marquis of Xinzhou. Zhou Xuan rewarded the manager of the Wei royal mansion and the coachman in front of the Marquis of Wei, and asked Lai Fu to ask four servants to carry two large silver boxes to the "Furong Garden".
Zhou Xuan was in a very comfortable mood. His three-game chess with Huang Xingjian was considered a top-notch confrontation. He should win a 10,000 taels of lottery. The Yingshi Cup champion also has 400,000 US dollars, but Huang Xingjian, the runner-up, isn't it embarrassing to have a twelve of silver? Didn't the emperor grant him the title of the eighth-rank chess and wait for him? He also ate imperial grain, which is also a reward.
Zhou Xuan took Sanchi to visit Huang Xingjian with peace of mind. The day before yesterday, Gu Liuquan also moved to Xinzhou Hou Mansion and lived in "Lingxiang Shuixie". In the evening, Gu Changshi sent someone to the inn to move Huang Xingjian's luggage to "Lingxiang Shuixie" and live with Gu Liuquan.
Zhou Xuan and Sanchi walked through the Jiuqu corridor and came to the "Lingxiang Shuixi Pavilion". Huang Xingjian and Gu Liuquan were playing against each other. The game of chess was played in the daytime, and the three of them were reviewing the game.
When he saw Zhou Xuan, Huang Xingjian was very embarrassed and said, "The Shanren did not play chess with others, he just played chess and played chess and exchanged ideas."
Zhou Xuan laughed in his heart and said, "It was just a private bet between you and me for three years. Now the people of Huangshan are chess and waiters. They are chess and are chess and are chess. The public is more than private. The private agreement is cancelled. Huangshan people, no, Huangshan people play chess even though they play chess, they are chess."
Huang Xingjian said stubbornly: "Losing means losing. The mountain man vowed not to play chess for three years and would never go back on his word."
Zhou Xuan said: "It's easy to say, let's study those three games of chess first. Playing chess is not considered a breaking promise." He thought to himself: "Old Huang is stubborn, my buddy doesn't believe you can withstand the addiction to chess!"
Five people gathered around the chess table to discuss Zhou enthusiastically. Huang Sanfan's gains and losses. Huang Xingjian admired Zhou Xuan's various changes in the casual "big slant" and asked for advice humbly. Zhou Xuan was not stingy and made more than ten changes in the "big slant" pattern. Of course, Zhou Xuan still kept several moves, and there were more than 30 changes he didn't say. If Huang Xingjian dared to fight with him again, he would still suffer.
Huang Xingjian was moved by Zhou Xuan's sincerity and patiently gave Zhou Xuan the second half of the plate. Some officials made Zhou Xuan scream, which really benefited a lot.
Five people talked about chess until late at night. Zhou Xuan straightened his waist and smiled and said, "Today, I was guided by the people of Huangshan, and I suddenly realized that I was in peace. The people of the mountain rested. I would like to ask the people of the mountain again."
Zhou Xuan went to Tongque Pavilion with a lantern alone. Although it was very late, he couldn't change this habit. He always had to come and have a look. It was already past midnight. The Lin sisters might have already gone to bed. As soon as they knocked on the gate of the courtyard, the voice of the maid Mingfeng came from inside: "Is it Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Xuan has too many names, some are called son-in-law, some are called young masters, marquis, grand sir, Zhou Qicha, and the two maids of Fairy Jingyi are used to being called "June Zhou".
Zhou Xuanxi said: "It's me, has the fairy gone to bed?"
Mingfeng said, "The fairy is not sleeping, the second lady is asleep." As he said, he opened the courtyard gate and carried a small lantern to Zhao Zhou's road.
Zhou Xuan said: "I have a lantern - Miss Mingfeng didn't have a rest?"
The beautiful maid Mingfeng whispered: "The fairy knows that the young master will come no matter how late he is, so let the little maid wait for the door."
Zhou Xuan felt warm and followed Mingfeng upstairs.
Fairy Jingyi had already heard Zhou Xuan's footsteps. The quiet night was clear and calm. When she heard the footsteps, Fairy Jingyi's heart suddenly became calm and a little resentful: "This brother Xuan came so late, which made me copy "Baopuzi" all night, and my hands were so sore." I thought of her seasickness on the boat from Jiangzhou to Jinling. Zhou Xuan led the "Dou Tai" and "Li Du" on her toes. The feeling of blood rushing into her forehead and almost fainting is still fresh in memory.
Fairy Jingyi blushed.
As soon as Zhou Xuan entered the door, he bowed repeatedly: "Sister Daoyun, I'm late. I forgot the time when talking about chess with people from Huangshan, so I rushed over. Sister Xi hasn't rested yet, otherwise I'll be turned away."
Fairy Jingyi said, "The female path is about to go and rest."
Zhou Xuan said: "I will leave immediately. I will tell my sister that I will accompany my sister to visit Zhongshan tomorrow morning." After that, he bowed and retreated.
Fairy Jingyi said in surprise: "Brother Xuan, are you leaving now?"
Zhou Xuan turned around and said, "It's very late, don't disturb my sister's rest. Come and pick me up tomorrow morning." He took the lantern from Mingfeng, walked down the steps and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Mingfeng followed behind and said, "Young Master sent someone to inform me, but you have to run away and say something in person."
Zhou Xuan said as he walked: "If you don't look at Sister Daoyun, you always feel like you have nothing to do. It's a habit. Okay, Miss Mingfeng, please close the door, I'll go."
Fairy Jingyi stood in the shadow of the lamp, listening to the familiar footsteps away, thinking about the two sentences just now, I couldn't help but become confused.
Mingfeng came back with a small lantern. Seeing Fairy Jingyi's trance, he didn't dare to disturb her. After waiting for a while, he still didn't move. He whispered: "Fairy, let's rest sooner, I'm going to visit Zhongshan tomorrow."
Fairy Jingyi then woke up like a dream. She entered the embroidery room with her hands. Hanyun still lived in the same room with her, but she no longer had the same bed, and had two embroidery couches.
Lin Hanyun was sleeping soundly. She secretly pleaded Zhou Xuan for 1,000 taels of silver today and won more than 400 taels. Lai Fu and the others followed Zhou Xuan's instructions and no one was bet, and they lost a lot.
Lin Hanyun was laughing in her sleep: "Hehe, the courageous ones are to death, and the timid ones are starved to death. This is what Brother Zhou Xuan said."
Fairy Jingyi looked at her sister's sweet sleeping appearance and couldn't help but lean over to kiss her little mouth, then tucked the corner of the quilt, returned to her bed, hugged the pillow for a while, and sighed in her heart: "In the future, Hanyun will marry Brother Xuan, I will come to visit them once a year." I don't know when I fell asleep, and I was sleeping in a daze, but suddenly I heard Mingfeng's voice: "Fairy, Mr. Zhou is here to pick you up to travel to Zhongshan."
Fairy Jingyi stood up in a panic and hurriedly put on her dress. She thought about putting on her pink silk breeches and washed up. She saw Zhou Xuan riding a black horse under the courtyard. Fairy Jingyi had seen this horse, called "Black Rose", which was given to Xuan Di by the Empress. Hanyun also had a big green horse, and Xuan Di named it "Yun Zhonghe".
"Sister Daoyun, the weather is so good today. Let's ride a horse to Zhongshan."
Fairy Jingyi looked up at Zhou Xuan riding on a tall horse with her eyes and teeth flashing, and her eyebrows were as black as ink. She shook her head and said, "The female doctrine can't ride a horse."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I'll take my sister, come--" He leaned over from the horse's back, reached out to grab her wrist, and actually lifted her up on the horse's back. Before she could speak, the "Black Rose" had spread its four hooves and ran out of Xinzhou Marquis Mansion like a cloud of mist. Countless people in Xiangluanfang looked at them. Fairy Jingyi was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head, and she had no time to put her veil out in a hurry. There was no way, so she had to cover her face with her hands, feeling her waist was hugged. Xuan's voice said in her ear: "Running the horse, I want to hold my sister so that I won't fall."
Fairy Jingyi was so embarrassed that she couldn't say anything. This brother Xuan was too shocked. How could he treat her like this? It was so embarrassing.
I don’t know how far I ran, but I heard the voice of Brother Xuan say, “Okay, sister don’t have to cover her face anymore. There is no one else, there is only the two of us—well, there is Black Rose.”
Fairy Jingyi slowly moved her palm away. In front of her, there was a plain field with green grass and fragrant peaches and plums. The spring breeze blew over and was lazy. She leaned against Xuan Di's arms and didn't want to sit up straight.
She could feel her face was very hot, and it must be even more reddish and brighter than the peach blossoms blooming on the roadside.
Because there was no one around, she became more courageous and asked softly: "Brother Xuan, where is this?"
Zhou Xuan said: "Black Rose ran away hard, and I don't know where I ran. I haven't seen the particularly beautiful mountains yet."
Fairy Jingyi said: "It doesn't matter if you don't go to Zhongshan. Brother Xuan, just run in the sparsely populated areas."
Zhou Xuanying said: "Okay." It's great that he ran away, and he didn't meet anyone along the way.
Fairy Jingyi suddenly felt a little dizzy. As soon as she held her cheeks in her hands, she looked dizzy. The understanding brother Xuan immediately asked: "Is Sister Daoyun dizzy? Is it motion sickness, seasickness, and even horse dizzy, so I can be dizzy."
Fairy Jingyi said "um", and Brother Xuan immediately hugged her and sat face to face without saying a word. He grabbed her ankle and raised her left leg, rolled her skirt, quickly took off her embroidered shoes, peeled her white socks, and said, "Sister is so stunning, I'll give my sister a hand."
Fairy Jingyi felt soft all over and wanted to make a sound to stop Xuan Di, but a delicate moan came from her throat.
Brother Xuan was pinching her toes. Her toes were white and slender, like jade carvings, but how did Brother Xuan pinch her calves?
"Brother Xuan, you--"
Before he finished speaking, Xuan suddenly kissed her mouth and said vaguely: "Sister Daoyun, I like you, I want to kiss you--"
Fairy Jingyi used her white and tender palms to block Zhou Xuan's big mouth and struggled and said, "No, Brother Xuan, no, the female Taoist has asked the Queen to give you Hanyun a marriage--"
Brother Xuan said, "But I like Sister Daoyun!"
With the sound of horse hooves, a big green horse ran towards him, which was Hanyun and her "Crane in the Cloud".
Lin Hanyun ran to her and said loudly: "Sister, why are you robbing Brother Zhou Xuan with me? I refuse to be the crown princess. I just want to marry Brother Zhou Xuan? But you robbed me, wuwu-"
Fairy Jingyi was so anxious that she could not tell the difference. When she was anxious, tears flowed down her eyes.
At this time, I heard someone say in my ear: "Sister, it's time to get up. Brother Zhou Xuan has come to pick us up."
Fairy Jingyi sat up suddenly, the boudoir was as sharp as a flower in front of her.
