Escape after crossing

The young scholar continued, "When will the spring flowers and autumn moons end? How much do we know about the past?"

Jiang Ziluo also said, "When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon empty."

The two of them exchanged their talents, neither of them giving in. Their poems were like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, and there was a sense of ambition between the lines, which attracted cheers and praises from the people present.

Finally, after a fierce competition, Jiang Ziluo defeated his opponent with excellent results and won thunderous applause from the audience.

Her face was filled with the joy of victory, but she was secretly glad in her heart: "Luckily I was forced to read so many poems in my previous life, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself today!"

Although these poems were learned in her previous life, they have been deeply engraved in her mind and now they are finally useful.

Mingyue and Mingxi were of course very happy, especially Mingxi. She loved this kind of lively scene the most. At this moment, she was so excited that she danced and cheered.

After the game, Jiang Ziluo and the other two left the stadium. Walking on the busy street, Jiang Ziluo was still immersed in the joy of victory.

"Young Master is so great!" Mingxi jumped and followed Jiang Ziluo.

Jiang Ziluo had a smile on his face and reminded Mingxi from time to time to slow down and not bump into anyone.

Suddenly I saw a familiar figure in front of me. When I got closer, I found that it was the young scholar I met at the stadium before.

The young man took the initiative to greet him, saying, "What a wonderful game. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable."

Jiang Ziluo smiled modestly: "Thank you for the compliment. It just happened that I have read some poems before."

The young scholar's eyes flashed with admiration, and he smiled and said, "You are truly knowledgeable and talented! It is truly admirable that you have such knowledge and talent at such a young age."

Jiang Ziluo quickly waved her hands and said with a smile: "Brother Shang, you are too kind. I have just read a few more books." She secretly sighed in her heart that this young man was indeed a rare talent. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was also humble and polite, which made people feel good about him.

"My name is Shang Wenjie. May I know where you are from?" Shang Wenjie introduced himself.

Jiang Ziluo glanced at Mingyue and Mingxi, then replied with a smile: "My name is Guyue, this is Mingyue and Mingxi, they are all my family. We are also out for fun, and happened to walk into Linzhou City. We knew there was an Ink Paper Festival, so we stayed to take a look."

Shang Wenjie was slightly stunned, then he burst into laughter: "What a good name! What a good name!"

Jiang Ziluo looked at Shang Wenjie with some confusion, wondering why he suddenly laughed.

Shang Wenjie seemed to realize his own gaffe and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I was a little rude just now. I just think the name 'Gu Yue' is very meaningful, and it reminds me of a poem: 'The ancients did not see the moon of today, but the moon of today once shone on the ancients.'"

Jiang Ziluo suddenly realized that Shang Wenjie thought of this poem because of the name he said, and he couldn't help but admire his talent even more.

The two chatted for a while and found that they both liked literature and got along better and better. After chatting for a while, Jiang Ziluo saw that it was getting late and said goodbye and went back to the inn.

At this time, Shang Wenjie directly invited Jiang Ziluo and others to his home and promised to treat them well.

Jiang Ziluo was worried that it would be inconvenient, so he declined. Finally, Shang Wenjie told him his identity, and Jiang Ziluo agreed.

It turned out that the merchant was one of the four major families of merchants in Linzhou City, and the merchant sold cloth and rouge and powder. The other three were food, restaurants, teahouses, and various daily necessities.

The group arrived at Shang's house. Shang Wenjie enthusiastically took them to visit his garden, where all kinds of flowers competed with each other in beauty.

Jiang Ziluo was amazed, and then the two of them came to the pavilion in the garden and sat down, tasting the cakes and drinking tea.

During the pleasant conversation, Jiang Ziluo learned that although Shang Wenjie was a businessman, he was a famous talent in Linzhou City and often participated in various literary gatherings. Moreover, he also achieved quite outstanding results in this Ink and Paper Festival.

"It is my honor to meet such a talented person like Brother Gu today!" Shang Wenjie said sincerely.

"Brother Shang, you are too kind. I have only a little knowledge of these things." Jiang Ziluo replied modestly. The two of them talked freely and seemed to have forgotten the passage of time.

As night fell, the maids and servants placed the sumptuous dinner on the table one after another. Shang Wenjie warmly invited Jiang Ziluo to enjoy it together.

After dinner, Shang Wenjie asked the housekeeper to take Jiang Ziluo to the guest room to rest, and told him that he could take him to visit Linzhou City tomorrow.

"Thank you, Brother Shang, for your hospitality. I am very grateful." Jiang Ziluo stood up and thanked him.

"You're welcome. Please rest assured tonight." Shang Wenjie responded with a smile.

Jiang Ziluo followed the housekeeper to the guest room, secretly looking forward to tomorrow's trip to Linzhou City.

The next morning, when the sky in the east was just beginning to turn pale, Jiang Ziluo had already gotten out of bed. He dressed and washed up quickly, then opened the door and walked into the yard.

The sun had not yet risen, and the morning breeze was cool and pleasant, blowing on his face. Jiang Ziluo took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air, and felt particularly relaxed.

He walked slowly along the path in the yard, admiring the surrounding flowers, plants and trees. Although the yard was small, it was very delicately decorated, and every detail revealed the owner's care.

Just as Jiang Ziluo was immersed in the peaceful atmosphere, a voice suddenly came: "Brother Gu, you're here so early!" He turned around and saw Shang Wenjie walking towards him with a smile.

Jiang Ziluo smiled and responded, "Brother Shang, good morning! I am used to getting up early and like to enjoy the tranquility of the early morning."

Shang Wenjie walked up to Jiang Ziluo and walked side by side with him, saying as they walked: "How did you sleep last night? Are you getting used to it?"

Jiang Ziluo replied gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Shang. I slept very well and comfortably last night."

Shang Wenjie laughed and said, "That's good! I have nothing to do today, why don't we go out for a walk together and take a look at the scenery of Linzhou City."
