Chapter XVIII Requirements

Xiao Qian took out a straw figure from her arms, which looked like it was just an ordinary straw tie, but the golden color was dazzling like an ear of wheat in midsummer. Then he pulled off the ebony hairpin on his head, and it was dark and red.

The ginseng essence seemed to sense something, looked back left and right, and wanted to leave. Xiao Qian smiled slightly, and the hairpin stabbed down, hitting the straw man's chest. Ginseng Jing was sluggish, and his originally ruddy face became pale.

In the dense artemisia grass by the pond, several black shadows swooped down. But it was Xiao Qian's most agile selection from his subordinates, and he was bound to capture that ginseng essence in one fell swoop.

Generally, the cultivation speed of the spirits is extremely slow, and the combat surname is extremely low, but the escape is extremely fast. Especially this ginseng essence, the earth escape makes it even smoother, as long as it is given a chance to breathe, it will run away without a trace like the earth sun.

Xiao Qian's spell was to fight for this opportunity, the ginseng essence was pale, obviously injured, seeing that those black shadows were about to catch him, but he reluctantly made a way to escape into the rocks and mud. If you don't know this method, you have to dig up the soil to find it, how can you find it?

The pitch-black underground made the ginseng spirit feel safe, and secretly said that it was dangerous, and he was going to dive deeper. As soon as I thought about it, I felt like my head was being caught.

"How is that possible!" thought it, and it was pulled out of the soil again. Xiao Qian smiled and carried the thin old man, and said, "Look where you run!" Her speed was also not slow, and at the same time as she gave the order, she rushed out from behind the tree!

Xiao Qian naturally won't escape, but she is a spiritual substance, between the physical and the imaginary. But it was able to pull out the ginseng essence without being affected by the soil.

The ginseng essence was forgiven for a while, but a pair of eyes were looking around, to see if he could find a chance to touch the soil, and this time he must run faster.

Xiao Qian was unmoved, tightly stuck the neck of the ginseng essence, and lifted it in the air. The yin qi continued to be injected, and the body of the ginseng essence was slowly shrinking, and finally shrunk into a ginseng, but the image was just like the old man, not only was the body complete, but even the expression could be seen, but it was just a sad face at the moment.

Then Xiaoqian wrapped the three layers inside and three layers of the ginseng essence tightly, put it in her sleeve, smiled slightly, and said in her heart: Xianggong, you are blessed. The age of this ginseng is really not short. If you eat this, you will definitely be able to increase your Taoism!

At this time, a strange bird croaked, and Xiao Qian tilted her head. The two rabbits are here, forget it, it's still important to be fair, find a chance to break them all again!

In the grass, the two rabbits were parallel, and the white rabbit said to the gray rabbit: "What should I do, Caiyin." Sam Lao let the old demon of Montenegro take him away!"

The gray rabbit's voice was full of affirmation: "Mei Niang, we must rescue the old man!"

The white rabbit asked again: "But, but, how can we save it? I heard that the old demon of the Black Mountain is so terrible! His waist is thicker than the tree at the entrance of our cave, and he has to eat several cows at a meal, which is terrible!"

The two rabbits glanced at each other, hugged each other, and said, "It's over, the old man is going to be eaten!"

In Xu Xian's home, there were already a few guests in the hall, Li Siming and Ning Caichen were naturally the first to come, and the others were also classmates and teachers in the academy.

Yun Yan and Qingluan served tea on the side. Yun Yan wore a red dress, radiant, bright and moving. And Qingluan is still wearing the water willow long skirt, and her delicate waist makes people want to step forward and shake it.

The appearance of the second daughter couldn't help but make everyone in the hall look straight, you must know that most of them have never seen Yun Yan's true face, and now they can't help but sigh when they see it, there is such a stunning appearance in the world. If it's just the appearance, there is still an inexplicable luxurious temperament on the body, which is heartbreaking.

After Yun Yan served the tea, she only smiled slightly, and whispered, "Use it slowly!" and returned to Xu Xian's back, whispering something in Xu Xian's ear. The intimate appearance made many people even more jealous of Xu Xian.

Li Siming took the tea handed by Yun Yan, and said to Xu Xian with a smile: "Yanfu is not shallow!" The one who can maintain normalcy among the people present is probably Li Siming, a "madman", and Ning Caichen, who was sitting next to him, frowning and thinking. Although Ning Caichen is upright, he is definitely not stupid, he always feels that things are not so easy to solve.

Xu Xian smiled, didn't answer him, and shook Yun Yan's hand lightly, Yun Yan was so intimate with him that his face was already red. I was shy and happy in my heart, and I wanted to withdraw my hand but didn't dare. At that moment, even Li Siming, who was sitting next to him, was stunned, and secretly sighed that what he said was true. If only the girl in the red sleeves could do this to herself, it would be fine.

But I heard a report from the door, "Lord Zhang is here!" The people in the hall said that they were all under the management of the school administration, and hurriedly got up to greet them. welcomed that Zhang Xuezheng in, and after another greeting, he let everyone into the side hall.

The guys in Liuqinglou had already arranged a banquet, Zhang Xuezheng came to the hall to take a look, but his eyes fell on Yun Yan first, and then turned around on Qingluan, before pointing at Xu Xian and smiling at everyone: "Okay, this is a rare genius in my Hajto Academy, and it is also my joy in Hangzhou Shilin, it is really a great honor to be able to eat at the same table today!"

These words of praise made Ning Caichen's brows furrow even deeper, this Xuezheng didn't say that a few days ago.

Xu Xian also responded with a smile, then pulled Yun Yan over and whispered, "Yan'er, you go back to the room first! ”

Yun Yan hesitated: "This?" This kind of banquet is the most customary for her, if she is there, she can naturally add a lot of points to Xu Xian.

Xu Xian touched her cheek with a smile and said, "Can I still use you for my husband?" If it is done today, I will reward you well in the evening!" a hand wrapped around her waist.

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

Xu Xian twisted her buttocks and said, "Naturally, I want to punish you well!"

Yun Yan pushed Xu Xian away and said, "It's not the same!" But her heart was beautiful, knowing that Xu Xian loved herself, so she left obediently. I just can't help but think, how will he reward himself, and how will he punish himself?

The banquet was opened, with Li Siming's gags, and the atmosphere was quite warm. Although Xu Xian didn't like this kind of banquet, he also knew that it was something on the scene, so he could barely cope with it.

Zhang Xuezheng suddenly smiled and said: "Hanwen, this official also has a restaurant on the edge of the West Lake, I don't know if you have ever been there?" That restaurant is the restaurant where Xu Xian first met Bai Suzhen. It once brought a lot of income to Zhang Xuezheng, but since Xu Xian fought once, he immediately became famous in one fell swoop, and there were a lot more tourists, but few dared to enter. At that time, although he was an official eunuch and a faction of King Liang, he had no way to deal with Xu Xian. Hate so far, just waiting for revenge!

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, and finally knew where this guy's hostility came from, it turned out to be the person he had beaten him. I can't help but be even more disdainful of it, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and it will not be a good thing to be able to raise such a dog. But he only smiled and said, "Do you have a business for adults?" ”

Zhang Xuezheng saw Xu Xian pretending to be deaf and dumb, and he was even more angry in his heart. On the contrary, he smiled and said: "A few days ago, a few people came to talk about the lawsuit, but I heard that it has something to do with Hanwen, and it is really a big flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple." ”

The people next to him asked curiously, Zhang Xuezheng told everyone as a joke, and everyone greeted him, and they all said that Xu Xian's was not, but they all had the idea of watching the excitement in their hearts, and said in their hearts: It turns out that this Xu Xian has already made a feud with this new Xuezheng, which is called Thirty Years of Hedong and Thirty Years of Hexi.

Li Siming wanted to gag and wipe Xu Xian at this time, but Zhang Xuezheng only held a glass of wine, looked at Xu Xian, and just waited for Xu Xian to say something. If it was under normal circumstances, Xu Xian should apologize. After all, the other party is a scholar who is stuck in the future of every scholar.

Xu Xian made an expression of sudden realization, and said with a smile: "It turned out that was the case, I really didn't take it to heart." Your subordinates are blackmailing and have bad intentions, so you have to discipline them well!" Because his lying skills are too poor, this "sudden realization" is like singing, and it has more of a bit of ridicule.

There was a sudden silence at the table, Zhang Xuezheng's face turned red, and he couldn't stand being taught in front of so many people, not to mention that he thought he was going to be higher than Xu Xian. He used all those officialdom and ghost tricks to calculate Xu Xian, but he didn't want Xu Xian to eat him at all. said angrily in his heart: Okay, you Xu Xian, after being so contemptuous of me, you can't cry if I want to make you cry.

Xu Xian just smiled and lowered his head to drink, he acted worthy of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods were not afraid, and he was afraid of villains. If you want him to be humble and wronged, or even spend some money, and turn big things into small things, it is naturally no problem, but if you want him to succumb to this villain, it is absolutely impossible.

But that Zhang Xuezheng had something else in his heart, and he didn't want to turn his face with Xu Xian so quickly, so he laughed and said: "The Chinese language is polite, I have no way to do it, and I should punish myself for three cups." In fact, he had already made up his mind in his heart that he must be embarrassed by Xu Xian, one is to please King Liang, and the other is to repay personal grievances.

It's just that while doing this "official business", he also wants to do his own private affairs with one stone. As long as he is still in charge of studying politics, he wants to ruin Xu Xian's reputation, no matter what the governor can't do with him, he is only like a turtle in Xu Xian's urn, more of a desire to please.

Xu Xian also smiled: "I don't dare to teach a lesson, I just say it bluntly, and I will also drink three cups with adults!"

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

Everyone was slightly drunk, Zhang Xuezheng finally couldn't help it, and said: "Dry drinking is boring, why don't you invite the Caifeng girl to come out and sing and dance to toast." I had a glimpse of the "Phoenix Dance for Nine Days" back then, and it is still unforgettable! If I can see it again, I would like to thank Hanwen for his hospitality!"

He hinted to Xu Xian slightly, only if you can let her come out, our grudge will be wiped out. and then step by step, give him some pressure and temptation, I don't believe that he will not even want a future for a woman. When the time comes, don't say that you will be in the bag, and it is not impossible to get it in your pocket. And then it's not too late to clean up Xu Xian.

His evocative gesture only made Xu Xian feel sick for a while, and he knew what this guy's purpose was. But I also know that these words are actually not a gift in this era, because Yun Yan is just a concubine, not to mention such trivial things as dancing, even if they are given away, it is nothing. Just like when Xu Xian was in Jinling, Jin Shengjie asked his concubine Su Jin to come out to dance, which was the most natural thing.

But Xu Xianke never wanted to succumb to anything, whether it was the pressure of someone or the concepts of this era. was about to refuse, but he heard a report from the door, "Jin Shengjie, Jin Gongzi has arrived!"

Everyone was in the same place, but seeing that Jin Shengjie didn't wait for anyone to greet him, he walked into the hall, first saluted everyone, and then said to Xu Xian: "Brother Xu, don't blame the little brother for coming uninvited, I'm here to send you an invitation." As he spoke, he took out a gold-wrapped invitation card from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Xian.

Xu Xian took it and couldn't help laughing: "The old man's fleet is going to sea, congratulations." "When the fleet set sail, it was natural to invite guests to watch the ceremony. There are also Xu Xian's shares in this, so he is naturally indispensable.

Everyone also came to congratulate Jin Shengjie, and Jin Shengjie also smiled and invited him to the table. Qingluan withdrew from the hall with the name of taking the dishes and chopsticks, and said in Yun Yan's room: "Miss, what Xuezheng wants you to go out and dance!"

Yun Yan frowned and asked, "What did the husband say?" There was also a little sigh in her heart, which woman from a good family was willing to show her face and perform a dance! It's just that her current identity is not strange to be asked for so.

Qingluan saw that the young lady was unhappy, so she said: "My brother hasn't promised them yet, do you want me to talk to my brother secretly and reject them!"

Yun Yan shook her head and said, "Help me make up, and find out the dance clothes!" Looking at himself in the mirror, although there was sadness between his eyebrows, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. It's worth it for him!

Jin Shengjie smiled and said to Zhang Xuezheng: "I didn't know that Lord Zhang was here, so I didn't bring your invitation with me." "Actually, this is just polite, Zhang Xuezheng has nothing to do with this matter, how can everyone be invited. But of course, of course, the Hangzhou prefect is indispensable on the table.

Zhang Xuezheng waved his hand generously, and after some talk and laughter, he pretended to inadvertently mention the proposal just now, Jin Shengjie was also very interested, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, so I will ask Miss Caifeng to dance a song for everyone." In his opinion, this was just a natural request.

The people at the banquet saw Yun Yan's stunning face just now, and they were even more coaxed at this moment, Xu Xianyi frowned, and was about to shirk it. But after hearing the screen, a laugh came: "Gentlemen, Caifeng'an dares not to obey!"

Under the golden phoenix crown, a delicate and uncast face, with a little red mole in the center of the eyebrows, like a phoenix head. The close-fitting dance robe is lined with long sleeves woven of light yarn on both sides, and a pair of slender jade arms are faintly visible inside, like phoenix wings. The legs tightly wrapped in silk trousers spread out at the knees, decorated with gold flowers and white velvet, which is the phoenix tail.

At this moment, it seems that another horny phoenix appears in front of everyone, making people wonder about her posture when she dances and cries. Zhang Xuezheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good!" A pair of eyes were nailed to Yun Yan's body, lingering on the waist and jade neck exposed in the dance clothes. There was a raging fire burning in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow her in one gulp.

Zhang Xuezhengyin said with a smile: "With the help of this beautiful woman, you will definitely be famous in the gold list!

With a loud "snap", Xu Xian slapped the case and said, "Fart!"

The atmosphere in the hall froze, Zhang Xuezheng's heart suddenly fell silent, his face sank like water, and said, "What did you say?"

Xu Xian didn't look at him, walked up to the stunned Yun Yan, pulled her out, and said angrily, "What are you running out for?"

Yun Yan had never seen Xu Xian look like this, her face was pale, and she stammered, "I want to help you!"

Xu Xian said: "Do you think you are going to dance to help me?" It wasn't the same as she said, and she turned back into the hall.

Zhang Xuezheng asked in a cold voice: "Xu Xian, what did you just say? Do you know what kind of crime it is to insult Shangguan? Do you still want your fame?" If the students next to him were stared at and asked by him like this, I was afraid that they would be scared to the bottom of the urine.

Xu Xian smiled and said, "I said that you talk like a fart, and it stinks!" Now that I see this bastard's wolf ambition, where can I still have good things to say to him.

Zhang Xuezheng trembled with anger, and a student from the academy next to him looked at the void and said, "Xu Xian, you are so bold, how dare you talk like this, why don't you hurry up and make amends with the adults...... " He said while glancing at Xu Xian. He was willing to behave in front of Xuezheng, but he didn't want to tear his face with Xu Xian, so he became a mellow and good person.

The person next to him chimed in and said that Xu Xian was not, and asked him to make amends quickly. Only Jin Shengjie sat on the side with an interesting face, Ning Caichen's brows were twisted, and Li Siming smiled bitterly and was speechless.

"Shut up!" Xu Xian said. He has seen a lot of this kind of good people, the better ones are the-stirring sticks, and the worse ones are the wrong ones. often thinks of himself as a good person, and he is the most boring.

Everyone was shocked, and even condemned Xu Xian: "We are all for your good, how can you not know what is good or bad!" This is against the will of the people.

Xu Xian sneered: "If you want me to be like you, I will be like you, and I will wag my tail and beg for mercy for the sake of some fame and fortune, but I don't know where to put my belly of sage books? Everyone, please go back, the Hajj Academy will expel me, and we will no longer be classmates. ”

The so-called wall stands ten thousand, and no desire is rigid. Xu Xian didn't want anything at the moment, and naturally hardened. Zhang Xuezheng wanted to say a few more cruel words, Xu Xian said: "This lord, please form a group, and slowly leave my house in a relatively mellow posture!"

Jin Shengjie burst out laughing, and Zhang Xuezheng said a few more words "you" to Xu Xianlian, but he was speechless angrily. He was surrounded and left.

The hall fell cold all of a sudden, and only Ning Caichen, Li Siming, and Jin Shengjie were still sitting in place. Xu Xian smiled: "Are the three of you still interested? If you have, you can stay and drink a few more cups, but there is no singing and dancing!"

Jin Shengjie personally poured a glass of wine and saluted Xu Xian, "This, I'm not as good as you!" I don't know what he said.

Ning Caichen sighed and said, "It's just a woman, so why bother?" He couldn't understand why Xu Xian had a sudden seizure.

Xu Xian said: "If you shouldn't say something, if someone asks Sister-in-law Ning to come out and dance something, what should Brother Ning do?"

Ning Caichen frowned and said, "How can this be the same, it's just a ......"

The so-called hatred of taking a wife, but there is no such thing as hatred of taking a concubine. During the Jin Dynasty, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, was autocratic, and Sun Xiu, a henchman of Lun, coveted the green beads and poured the country's beauty, so that people asked Shi Chong for it, but Shi Chong refused. Later Sun Xiu harmed Shi Chong in front of Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and led the troops to besiege Jingu Garden, wanting to forcibly seize the green pearl, so she fell off the building and committed suicide. Shi Chong was also killed.

But the main public opinion at that time was not to condemn Sun Xiu, but that Dao Shichong should not be greedy for beauty, regardless of his family name, which is a very unwise behavior. Although it may seem strange to people today, it is certainly the way it looks.

Xu Xian interrupted: "That's it, although Yun Yan is called a concubine, I also treat her as if she were my wife." Xu Xianke couldn't tell the difference between wives and concubines, he only knew that letting his wife dance for others was either looking for a green hat to wear, or her head was disabled.

Ning Caichen sighed: "Then naturally you want to scold him for being a bloody dog, but it's just your fame?"

Xu Xian said with a smile: "I'd rather go in Zhizhong than ask for Quzhong!" What he put down was far from what the three people in front of him could imagine.

After a few more drinks, Xu Xian saw that the three of them were finally with something on their minds, so he sent them away. I know in my heart that even they can't fully understand themselves, and they may even think that they are greedy for beauty and machismo.

Xu Xian also does not deny that he is a bit machismo. It's just that if a big man can't even protect a little woman, what face can he call "big"? In such an era, if you have the right that you can't have in that era, to get all of a woman's whole and decide all her fate, and at the same time you can't even fulfill this obligation, then you will be in vain.

Xu Xian thought about it for a while, and didn't take this matter to heart, just thinking about whether he should leave Hangzhou and go to Suzhou. Because his medical skills have already been learned, after studying for a period of time, he can really start compiling books.

Compiling a book is not just a matter of copying, and the manpower, material and financial resources required are unimaginable to outsiders. If there is a way to talk about material and financial resources, then manpower is really helpless. Because there is a need for many professionals who are proficient in medical skills. There is a way to do this in Hangzhou, but it is by no means easy.

And Xu Xian clearly remembered that the organization called the "Three Emperors Patriarch Association" located in Suzhou, with a history of nearly 100 years and a combination of dozens of doctors, was exactly the resources that Xu Xian needed now.

As long as Xu Xian becomes the leader of the "Three Emperors Patriarch Association", he will be able to save a lot of time and money for his great cause of compiling books. It's just that he has been lacking a good excuse to explain to the teacher, and the current situation may be an opportunity. I guess the teacher can understand his own difficulties!

As for fame, Xu Xian has always had no desire for power, and he has a lot of money now. As for the woman, the way Yun Yan wore a dance dress made him feel amazing, and he was about to think about letting her dance for himself later.

Therefore, his biggest motivation for the current imperial examination is to meet Pan Yu in the spring of the coming year. But with his ability to fly to the capital in a few days now, it will be a big deal for us to be the best family, and mix into Pan's Mansion to have a "Xu Hanwen Mingyu", be a personal scholar, accompany reading and sleeping, that is called joyful.

He thought about "Yinxiao": When the time comes, he will let Mingyu comfort his lovesickness.

Xu Xian thought so, turned the hall, and wanted to go to Yun Yan's room, but saw Yun Yan standing behind the screen, and when he saw Xu Xian coming, his phoenix eyes were full of tears, and he shouted: "Husband!" and threw himself into Xu Xian's arms.

Yun Yan's pear blossom with rain is really pitiful, Xu Xian only said that he spoke too heavily just now, which hurt her heart, and he clearly understood that although she looked strong, in fact, the woman's mind in front of her was extremely weak. hugged her gently and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't rush at you just now!" while wiping away the tears from her face.

Yun Yan lay in Xu Xian's arms, shook her head gently, and said, "I'm happy!" There was a sound of dispute in the hall, and she stood behind the screen, listening to Xu Xian put aside his fame for her. Say the phrase "I treat her as if she were my wife." At that moment, she really felt that she was the happiest woman in the world, and there was no one else in her heart, only his shadow remained.

Xu Xian knew that she was fine, so she put her mind at ease, but her hand couldn't help rubbing along her light dance clothes, Yun Yan protested: "When people are moving, husband, you will only think about this!"

Xu Xian kneaded her soft buttocks with his hands, and said with a smile: "There should be some performance of moving! It's all your bad idea, ruining the good future of this son, what are you going to compensate for?" Finally, he patted her extremely elastic buttocks, and then slowly felt the tremor.

Yun Yan groaned, looked at Xu Xian with silky eyes and said, "But it's up to the husband!" is no longer for the status of husband and wife, or even for gratitude. When he said that, her heart melted into water, and she wanted to surround the man. A slight thought flashed that he had lost to him after all! But he had no regrets.

Xu Xian's heart moved, attached to her ear, and said softly: "I want you ......"

Yun Yan was a little surprised at first, and then her face turned red, how could her husband have such a strange thought, biting her lip lightly, hesitating for a moment, but finally nodded softly in agreement.

Xu Xian couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but he was suddenly stunned: Shouldn't I ask to eat her?

He was thinking about the interesting things he did when he was with Pan Yu just now, but it seemed that he made the wrong request.

"That, can it still be changed?"

(To be continued)
