From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

The Fairy of Flowers Cai Ni is a hot potato. According to Ye Qingying, she is also a peerless master.

However, the goodwill shown by the other party is still worth Zhou Yuan's visit.

It is not Zhou Yuan's style to turn his face and disown someone after taking three hundred taels of silver.

Besides, he can't be a son-in-law for life. If he wants to live well in this world, he still needs connections and relationship networks.

When night fell, Zhou Yuan strode to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

It was more lively here than yesterday. Many scholars wore Confucian long gowns, held white fans, and sat in the hall, looking well-dressed.

He still carried a fan in this season. He was so pretentious, afraid that others would not know that he was a scholar.

However, it seems that the words from last night have been spread, which brought such a positive effect.

"Mr. Zhou, the Fairy of Flowers is waiting for you in the attic. Please follow me."

The nanny seemed to be more serious last night. She spoke respectfully and took Zhou Yuan upstairs.

After opening the door and passing through the entrance hall, the figure of Miss Cai Ni came into view.

She was concentrating on writing small characters, with graceful strokes and extraordinary spirit.

Seeing Zhou Yuan coming, she put down her pen, slightly lifted her skirt, and saluted Zhou Yuan.

"Sir, you haven't seen me for half a month, but you haven't missed Cai Ni?"

Her voice was tender and slightly resentful.

Although I knew that the other party was a peerless master and her status was not ordinary, for some reason, I felt very relaxed instead of feeling pressured when I was with her.

It seemed that there was no need for any disguise, just be yourself.

Zhou Yuan went over and bowed, chuckled and said, "I only miss Miss Cai Ni for two days."

Cai Ni was a little sad, lowered her head and said, "Just two days?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Daytime and nighttime."

"Puff!"

Miss Cai Ni couldn't help laughing, her pretty face flushed slightly, and said softly, "Young Master's words are always unexpected."

Zhou Yuan sat down and sighed, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Miss Cai Ni for showing mercy that night, otherwise Ye Qingying's life would be in danger, and my fate would not be good either."

Cai Ni was slightly startled, then whispered, "I don't want to let the head of the police go, but I don't want to embarrass you either."

Speaking of this, she raised her head, her bright eyes with a hint of uneasiness.

"Sir, Cai Ni's identity is complicated, don't you care?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Why should I care? Everyone has their own identity and secrets. I only know that Miss Cai Ni's calligraphy is very good and she is also very good to me."

Cai Ni smiled as if relieved of a heavy burden, and said softly, "Sir, please take a look at my calligraphy, how is it?"

Zhou Yuan looked down and said, "Although it has a majestic meaning, it is not free and easy. Miss, if you have something on your mind, you might as well tell me."

Cai Ni sighed, "Sir, you are still very smart, but it's a pity that you can't help Cai Ni's troubles."

But she still chose to say it out, and said faintly, "Cai Ni's identity is not bright, and it may have been exposed. The government is trying to find a way to investigate me. I'm afraid I have to leave here."

"It's a pity that I have just met you and we have to experience separation. It's really a pity."

Identity is not bright? That's nothing more than a wanted criminal, a gangster, and an evil sect.

The government did not arrest anyone directly, and they are still sending Ye Qingying to investigate, which means that even if there is evidence, it is not comprehensive and there are still no clues.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan said slowly: "Don't worry, the foundation of Baihua Pavilion lies in its patrons, and the execution of the law must also consider human relations and social stability."

"If Miss Cai Ni can win the hearts of all the talented men in Yunzhou, how could she be forced to move?"

Cai Ni's figure trembled, raised her head, and said in surprise: "Sir, you mean... the patrons of Baihua Pavilion will protect me?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "If the sons of all the major officials in Yunzhou like you, if there are still many admirers among the officials at all levels, then who dares to touch you without ironclad evidence?"

Cai Ni's eyes lit up, but she soon lowered her head: "It's a pity that Cai Ni is already eighteen years old, among the courtesans, but she is also old, and How can she become famous again in Yunzhou?"

Zhou Yuan knocked on the table gently and said, "The charm of the courtesan lies in her talent and color. Miss Cai Ni is extremely talented and has excellent acting skills, but her talent in calligraphy and painting is not easy to show."

"But don't forget that the Yunzhou Poetry Society's picnic activities are about to begin. Three days later, the song "Mantingfang" will spread throughout Yunzhou and even the entire Jiangnan."

"By then, Miss Cai Ni, a talented lyricist, will certainly become the object of everyone's attention."

Cai Ni smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, you are the lyricist."

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "I said it was you, who can refute it?"

But Cai Ni's face changed drastically, and she shook her head quickly and said, "No, no, sir, although Cai Ni is not talented,, but how can I plagiarize the young master's work and fill it with my own name. "

"This poem belongs to the young master, and the young master's name will also make a sensation in Yunzhou. How can I cut off the young master's future?"

"Don't persuade me, Cai Ni would rather leave than delay the young master."

These words are really touching. Zhou Yuan wanted to sigh that the other party was really in love, but he thought that this statement was insulting Cai Ni's sincerity.

So he chuckled and said, "It is said that talented men love beautiful women. I, Zhou Yuan, am alone. I don't have a luxury car and precious jade to give me, but I can still afford a small poem."

He gently held Cai Ni's hand, feeling the warmth and boneless slenderness, and whispered, "Don't you want to accept my love?"

Cai Ni's face flushed, shy, and murmured, "Young master, why are you so good to Cai Ni?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Because you deserve it. "

Cai Ni moaned and fell into Zhou Yuan's arms, trembling, "I thought tonight would be our final farewell, but I didn't expect that you would give me such a great gift. Even if Cai Ni were to be torn to pieces, it would be difficult to repay your kindness."

To be honest, this statement is too serious. It was just a gift exchange.

The infatuated courtesan really awakened my old heart.

Zhou Yuan was a little emotional, but said, "If Miss Cai Ni really feels unworthy of it, why not teach me a martial art? I am weak and need to strengthen my body."

At this point, he laughed, patted her back gently, and said, "Ye Qingying said that you are a peerless swordsman. I really want to learn your swordsmanship."

Cai Ni raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Everyone says that it is immoral for a girl to learn martial arts. ”

Zhou Yuan said: "I think this is an outstanding skill. Let those gossiping people go to hell."

"Puff!"

Cai Ni covered her mouth and laughed, saying: "Young Master is really different from others. Cai Ni will sort out the swordsmanship. When you come next time, you can get the sword manual."

Great!

This is what I care about most at the moment, and now it has been solved!

My oiran sister is so good to me!

Zhou Yuan was in a very happy mood. He chatted with Cai Ni until late at night before finally going downstairs and leaving.

It's not that he doesn't eat meat, but the meat is not cooked yet. It's not the right time.

It's just that Cai Ni's reluctant eyes made him linger.

Young oiran, it's so good!

"Don't laugh, your face is broken by laughter. "

The cold but familiar words suddenly sounded in Zhou Yuan's ears, startling him.

He turned around and saw that it was Ye Qingying in men's clothing.

Zhou Yuan frowned, but said: "Are you feeling better?"

Ye Qingying was obviously stunned.

Her face was no longer so cold, she just said lightly: "You don't need to care, just take care of your courtesan."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Don't say you are going again tonight, I can't save you this time."

Ye Qingying snorted coldly: "Don't mention it, I will remember to repay you, don't you want to learn martial arts? Three days later, I will wait for you in the pavilion by the Yunjiang River. "

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Zhou Yuan scratched his head and then laughed out loud.

Two gifts came at once, and he was a little confused.

Of course he wouldn't refuse, who would think he has too many skills?

Two girls, he wants them all!

Oh no, it's two kung fu, he wants them all.
