Xiaoqian took out a straw man from her arms. It looked like it was just made of ordinary straw, but its golden color was as dazzling as the ears of wheat in midsummer. Then she pulled out the ebony hairpin on her head.

It's the red light shining through the darkness.

The ginseng essence seemed to have noticed something, looked around, and wanted to leave. Xiaoqian smiled slightly, stabbed the hairpin down, and hit the grass man's chest. The ginseng essence was sluggish, and her originally rosy face turned pale.

Among the dense wormwood beside the pond, several black shadows pounced on them. However, they were the most agile ones selected by Xiaoqian. They were bound to capture the ginseng essence in one fell swoop.

Generally, the spirit monsters that become spirits from plants and trees practice very slowly and have very low fighting ability, but they can escape very quickly. Especially this ginseng spirit, the earth escape makes it even more smooth. As long as you give it a chance to breathe, it will turn into earth.

He ran away without a trace like a grandson.

Xiaoqian's spell was to win this chance. The ginseng spirit's face turned pale and he was obviously injured. Seeing that the black shadows were about to catch him, he still managed to use the earth escape method.

Escape into the rocks and soil. If you don't know this method, you have to dig in the soil to find it. How can you find it?

The dark underground made Ginseng Jing feel safe. He secretly said that it was dangerous and was going to dive deeper. As soon as he thought of this, he felt like someone was grabbing his head.

"How is that possible!" Thinking like this, it was taken out of the ground again. Xiaoqian smiled and lifted the thin old man and said, "Let's see where you run!" Her speed was not slow either. When she gave the order,

He rushed out from behind the tree!

Naturally, Xiaoqian cannot escape from the earth, but she is a spiritual being, between the physical body and the incorporeal body. However, she is able to pull out the ginseng essence without being affected by the earth.

The ginseng spirit begged for mercy for a while, but his eyes were looking around to see if he could find an opportunity to touch the soil. He must run faster this time.

Xiaoqian was unmoved. She tightly held the ginseng essence's neck and lifted it up in the air. As the yin energy continued to be injected, the ginseng essence's body slowly shrank, and finally shrank into a ginseng, but its image was different.

Just like that old man's appearance, not only the figure is complete, but also the expression can be seen, but at the moment he looks sad.

Then Xiaoqian wrapped the inner and outer three layers of the ginseng essence tightly, put it into her sleeve, smiled slightly, and said to her heart: Mr. Master, you are very lucky. This ginseng essence is really not young. Eat this.

, it will surely increase a lot of Taoism!

At this time, a strange bird croaked, and Xiaoqian tilted her head. The two rabbits were coming. Forget it, it’s more important to be husband and wife. Let’s find an opportunity to defeat them one by one! Then she waved her hand and said, “Let’s go!”

In the grass, two rabbits walked side by side. The white rabbit said to the gray rabbit: "What should we do, Caiyin. Shen Lao let the old Black Mountain demon kidnap her!"

Gray Rabbit's voice was full of affirmation: "Meiniang, we must rescue Old Shen!"

White Rabbit asked again: "But, but, how to save it? I heard that the old black mountain demon is so scary! His waist is thicker than the tree at the entrance of our cave, and he has to eat several cows in one meal. It's so scary.

!" Gray Rabbit also felt terrible.

Ertu looked at each other, hugged each other, and said: "It's over, it's over, Ginseng is going to be eaten!"

There were already several guests sitting in the hall of Xu Xian's home. Li Siming and Ning Caichen were naturally the first ones to arrive, and the others were also classmates and teachers from the academy.

Yun Yan and Qing Luan were serving tea on the side. Yun Yan was dressed in a red dress, radiant and bright. Qing Luan was still wearing the long water willow skirt, and her delicate waist made people want to step forward and hold her.

grip.

The appearance of the two girls couldn't help but make everyone in the hall stare. You must know that most of them have never seen Yun Yan's true face. Now when they see it, they can't help but sigh that there are such stunning beauties in the world. If it's just the appearance, that's it.

There is also an inexplicable noble temperament about him, which is heart-breaking.

After Yun Yan served the tea, she only smiled slightly and whispered, "Take it easy!" Then she came back behind Xu Xian and whispered something in Xu Xian's ear. Her intimate look made many people hate Xu Xian.

He became even more jealous.

Li Siming took the tea from Yun Yan and said to Xu Xiian with a smile: "What a blessing!" The only ones here who could maintain a normal state were Li Siming, the "crazy scholar", and Ning, who was sitting upright next to him, frowning and thinking.

Caichen. Although Ning Caichen is upright, he is definitely not stupid. He always feels that things are not easy to solve.

Xu Xian smiled, did not answer him, and lightly shook Yun Yan's hand. Yun Yan's face had already turned red because he was so intimate with so many people. She felt shy and happy at the same time, and wanted to take her hand away but did not dare.

.The appearance at that moment even stunned Li Siming, who was sitting next to her, and secretly sighed that beauty is a disaster, and what he said was true. It would be great if the red-sleeved girl could do this to herself.

But I heard the announcement from the door, "Master Zhang has arrived!" Everyone in the hall said that they were all under the management of the academic administration, so they quickly stood up to greet him. They welcomed the academic Zhang in, and after another round of greetings, they allowed everyone to go to the side hall.

among.

The waiters at Liuqinglou had already arranged the banquet. Zhang Xuezheng came to the hall to take a look, but his eyes first fell on Yun Yan, then turned around Qingluan, then pointed at Xu Xian and smiled at everyone:

"Okay, this is a rare talent from our Jingtian Academy, and it is also my joy as a scholar in Hangzhou. It is a great honor to be able to share the same table with him today!"

These words of praise made Ning Caichen frown even deeper. This is not what the academic master said a few days ago.

Xu Xian responded with a smile, then pulled Yun Yan over and whispered: "Yan'er, you go back to your room first! Just leave Luan'er here."

Yun Yan hesitated and said: "This?" She is the most accustomed to this kind of banquet. If she is here, it will naturally give Xu Xian a lot of points.

Xu Xian smiled and touched her cheek and said, "Is my husband still of use to you? Just go back and stay. If things work out today, I will reward you well tonight!" But one hand hugged her waist.

Yun Yan asked: "What if it doesn't work?" She was afraid that someone would come out and see the two of them at this moment, but she didn't dare to struggle.

Xu Xian pinched her buttocks and said, "Of course I have to punish you!"

Yun Yan pushed Xu Xiannai away and said: "It's not the same!" But she felt happy in her heart, knowing that Xu Xiannai loved her, so she left obediently. But she couldn't help but think about how he would reward herself and how he would punish herself?

The banquet started, with Li Siming making jokes, and the atmosphere was quite lively. Although Xu Xian didn't like this kind of banquet, he knew that it was just a matter of spectacle, so he just managed to deal with it.

But Zhang Xuezheng suddenly smiled and said: "Hanwen, I also have a restaurant by the West Lake. I wonder if you have ever been there?" That restaurant is the restaurant where Xu Xian first met Bai Suzhen. It has brought Zhang Xuezheng a lot of income.

, but since Xu Xian fought once, he immediately became famous. There were a lot more tourists coming and going, but few dared to go in. Although he was an official at that time and belonged to the Liang Wang faction, he had no way to deal with Xu Xian. To this day, he only hates him.

Waiting for revenge!

Xu Xian was stunned, and finally understood where this guy's hostility came from. It turned out that he had beaten him before. He couldn't help but be even more disdainful of him. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. If a dog like that could be raised, the owner would not be able to raise it.

It couldn't be a good thing. But he just smiled and said: "Do adults also run the business? Students will definitely come and patronize it in the future."

Zhang Xuezheng was even more angry when he saw Xu Xian pretending to be deaf and mute. Instead, he smiled and said: "A few days ago, a few servants came to talk about some lawsuit matters, but I heard that it had something to do with Chinese. It was really a flood.

Let’s go to the Dragon King Temple.”

The people next to him asked curiously, Zhang Xuezheng told everyone as if it was a joke. Everyone flattered him and said that Xu Xian was wrong, but they all wanted to watch the excitement in their hearts, thinking: It turns out that Xu Xian has been with this new guy for a long time.

The feud between academics and politics was called thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

Li Siming wanted to make a joke and wipe this moment out for Xu Xian, but Zhang Xuezheng just held a glass of wine and looked at Xu Xian, just waiting for Xu Xian to say something. Under normal circumstances, Xu Xian should have apologized.

.After all, the other party is an academic official who holds the future of every scholar in check.

Xu Xian made a look of realization and said with a smile: "So that's what happened, I really didn't take it to heart. Those servants of yours are extorting money and have bad intentions, so they need to be disciplined!" Because!

His ability to lie is very poor, so this "sudden realization" was performed as if it were an opera, and it was more of a mockery.

There was a sudden silence at the table, and Zhang Xuezheng's face turned red. Even his peers couldn't stand being lectured in front of so many people, not to mention that he thought he was a head above Xu Xian. He used all the officialdom and ghost tricks to calculate.

Xu Xian, but he didn't expect that Xu Xian would not accept his trick at all. He said angrily in his heart: You Xu Xian, after you have treated me with such contempt, you will not be able to cry even if I make you cry in the future.

Xu Xian just smiled and bowed his head to drink. He acted worthy of heaven and earth. He was not afraid of ghosts and gods, so he was not afraid of villains. If he was asked to give in a little bit, or even spend some money, big things would be reduced to trivial matters. Of course, there would be no problem, but if he was asked to succumb to

Under this villain, there is absolutely no way.

But Zhang Xuezheng had other desires in his heart. He didn't want to fall out with Xu Xian so quickly, so he laughed loudly and said: "The Chinese lesson is polite, but I have no way to control it. I will punish myself with three cups." In fact, he had already made up his mind.

He must embarrass Xu Xian, firstly to please King Liang, and secondly to avenge personal grudges.

It's just that while doing this "official business", he also wants to kill two birds with one stone and handle his own private affairs. As long as he is still a scholar and wants to ruin Xu Xian's reputation, no matter what the governor is, he can't do anything to him. He can only treat Xu Xian as Xu Xian's reputation.

Like a turtle in a urn, more of a desire to please.

Xu Xian also smiled and said: "I don't want to take the lesson seriously, I just said it bluntly. I will also drink three cups with you!"

The two drank three drinks together, and then the atmosphere at the table became lively again, and Li Siming breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone was slightly drunk, but Zhang Xuezheng finally couldn't help it and said: "Drinking dry is boring, why don't Hanwen invite Miss Cai Feng to sing and dance to cheer up the toast. Back then, I had a chance to see the "Feng Dancing Nine Heavens", and I still remember it today.

It’s unforgettable! If I can see you again, I’d like to thank Hanwen for his hospitality!”

He slightly hinted to Xu Xian that if you can just let her out, our grudges will be wiped out. Then he will push harder and harder and give him more pressure and temptation. I don't believe he will give up his future for a woman. Don't do anything then.

It's not impossible to have a kiss with Fangze, and it's not too late to take care of Xu Xian.

His thought-provoking gesture only made Xu Xian feel sick, and he realized what this guy's purpose was. But he also knew that these words were not actually a gift in this era, because Yun Yan was just a concubine, not to mention performing a dance.

Such trivial things, even if they are given as gifts, are nothing. Just like when Xu Xian was in Jinling, Jin Shengjie asked his concubine Su Jin to come out to perform a dance. It is the most natural thing.

But Xu Xianke never wanted to succumb to anything, whether it was someone's pressure or the concepts of this era. Just when he was about to refuse, he heard the announcement from the door: "Jin Shengjie, Mr. Jin is here!"

Everyone was stunned, but Jin Shengjie walked into the hall without waiting for anyone to greet him. He bowed to everyone first and then said to Xu Xian: "Brother Xu, don't blame me for coming uninvited. I'm here."

I've got an invitation for you." He took out a gold-wrapped invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Xian.

Xu Xian took it and took a look, and couldn't help but smile: "The old man's fleet is going to sea. Congratulations." As the fleet sets sail, it is natural to invite guests to watch the ceremony. Xu Xian also has shares in it, so naturally he is indispensable.

.

Everyone also came to congratulate Jin Shengjie, and Jin Shengjie also smiled and invited him to the table. Qingluan left the hall with the name of holding bowls and chopsticks, went to Yun Yan's room and said: "Miss, what kind of academic administration wants you?"

Go out and dance!”

Yun Yan frowned and asked, "What did your husband say?" She also sighed in her heart. How could a girl from a good family be willing to show her face and perform some kind of dance? But with her current status, it is not surprising to be asked like this.

Seeing that the young lady was unhappy, Qingluan said, "Brother hasn't agreed to them yet. Do you want me to talk to him secretly? I rejected them!" She also has the ability to transmit secret messages!

Yun Yan shook her head and said: "Help me dress up, and find out my dance clothes!" She looked at herself in the mirror, although there was sadness between her brows, but there was a smile on her lips. It was worth it for him!

Jin Shengjie sat down with a smile and said to Zhang Xuezheng: "I don't know that Mr. Zhang is here and didn't bring your invitation." In fact, this is just polite. Zhang Xuezheng has nothing to do with this matter. How can everyone be invited?

.But of course, a copy of it is indispensable on the table of the Hangzhou prefect.

Zhang Xuezheng waved his hand magnanimously, and after talking and laughing again, he pretended to mention the proposal casually. Jin Shengjie was also very interested and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone, so let's
To be continued...
