Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

Ji Yunlin nodded, and the two of them held hands tightly, closed their eyes, and made a wish together under the moonlight.

After a moment, they opened their eyes and smiled at each other, as if they had seen the day when their wish would come true.

"Madam, where do you think we should go to spend this wonderful night?" Ji Yunlin asked.

Lu Yundi thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to the backyard to enjoy the moon? There are osmanthus flowers that I planted myself. Now is the time when osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance is fragrant. I believe it will be a good choice."

Ji Yunlin readily agreed, and the two of them went to the backyard. Sure enough, the osmanthus tree there was in full bloom, and the fragrance was intoxicating. They found a stone bench to sit down, admiring the bright moonlight, tasting fine wine, and talking about each other's past, present, and future.

As the night deepened, the two were still reluctant to leave. Ji Yunlin said, "Madam, do you know? I always feel that life is like the moon, sometimes full, sometimes crescent, sometimes bright, sometimes dark. All we can do is cherish every moment and make life more beautiful."

Lu Yundi nodded and said, "Yes, Yunlin. We must learn to cherish, not only for ourselves, but also for each other. Only in this way can our lives be more fulfilling."

At this moment, a breeze blew, causing the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers to fall one after another, and sprinkled on the two of them like snowflakes. They smiled at each other.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed. During this time, Ji Yunlin and Lu Yundi's feelings have become deeper. One day, Ji Yunlin invited Lu Yundi to go to the temple outside the city to pray. The two came to the temple, knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, put their hands together, and prayed silently.

After the prayer, they came to the temple courtyard, where there was an ancient ginkgo tree with lush branches and leaves that blocked out the sun. There was a stone table under the tree, and Ji Yunlin and Lu Yundi sat down at the stone table and tasted the temple's tea.

……

Xiaoxiang Pavilion was particularly lively today. It was his good friend Xu Zimo's birthday, and he specially chose the best private room in Xiaoxiang Pavilion to host a banquet for all his friends. Yan Canglan, wearing a light blue gown, stepped into the private room and saw laughter and joy. Both the host and the guests were having a great time.

In the private room, red candles were shining brightly, and the antique table was filled with fine wine and delicacies. As soon as Yan Canglan entered the room, he was enthusiastically pulled to a seat by his friends. Xu Zimo personally poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, it is your honor today. Many heroes in the world have gathered at my birthday banquet."

Yan Canglan smiled slightly, raised his glass, and clinked it with Xu Zimo's: "Congratulations on your birthday, Brother Zimo. I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains."

After hearing this, everyone followed suit and wished him a happy birthday. For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room became more harmonious. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Yan Canglan found that today's banquet seemed different from the past. It turned out that Xu Zimo specially invited a woman named Bai Luomei, who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had a beautiful appearance, which was quite appreciated by everyone.

Bai Luomei sat in front of the piano table, gently plucking the strings, and a piece of music "High Mountains and Flowing Water" flowed out from her fingertips. Everyone was fascinated by the music and praised Bai Luomei's superb skills. Yan Canglan secretly praised her in his heart and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

At this time, Xu Zimo suddenly suggested: "Why don't we play a game to liven up the atmosphere?" Everyone agreed, so Xu Zimo explained the rules of the game: "We will be divided into two teams, one for the literati team and the other for the warrior team. The literati team will be responsible for reciting poems and composing couplets, while the warrior team will be responsible for competing in martial arts. The loser will be punished."

Everyone was immediately excited when they heard this. Yan Canglan was assigned to the warrior team. In the same team with Xu Zimo was another good friend of his named Yue Lin. Yue Lin was highly skilled in martial arts and had a deep friendship with Yan Canglan. The two of them cooperated well and were full of confidence.

When the game started, the members of the literati team recited poems and wrote couplets, winning rounds of applause. The warrior team was not to be outdone, Yan Canglan and Yue Lin teamed up to show their superb martial arts. For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room reached a climax.

However, in a fierce competition, Yan Canglan made a mistake, causing the Warrior Team to lose the game. Xu Zimo announced the punishment with a smile: "The Warrior Team lost a game, so Yan Canglan and Yue Lin will each perform a talent show for us."

Everyone started to make a noise, and Yan Canglan had no choice but to agree. He stood up, walked to the piano table, and gently played a song "Fisherman's Song at Dusk". The sound of the piano was melodious, like a complaint and a song, and everyone was fascinated by it.

Then, Yue Lin performed a sword dance. The long sword in his hand danced like a dragon, with great momentum, which was breathtaking. After the performance, everyone applauded and praised Yan Canglan and Yue Lin for their outstanding talents.

At this time, Bai Luomei stood up, walked to Yan Canglan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yan, your piano skills are really superb and admirable. How about we play a song together?"

Yan Canglan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Miss Bai, you are too kind. It is my honor to work with you." After that, Yan Canglan and Bai Luomei sat together at the piano table and played a piece of "Three Variations on Plum Blossom" together.

The sound of the piano was melodious and the plum blossoms were fragrant. Everyone was immersed in the wonderful music, as if they were in a fairyland. When the song ended, everyone praised it and said it was an audio-visual feast.

After the banquet, Yan Canglan left with Xu Zimo and Yue Lin. On the way, Yan Canglan couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zimo, who is that Miss Bai?"

Xu Zimo smiled slightly and said, "Bai Luomei is a talented woman. She is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also in medicine. She happened to pass by Luoyang this time, so I invited her to the banquet."

Yan Canglan nodded, secretly admiring Xu Zimo's eyesight.

Not long after, Yan Canglan stood up and flipped the table in front of him. With a crash, a table of dishes was overturned to the ground. Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, wondering why he suddenly got angry.

Yan Canglan's face turned pale and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He looked around coldly, his eyes fell on his friends, and said in a cold tone: "What happened today, I, Yan Canglan, will never tolerate it!"

After saying that, he turned and walked out, and his friends followed him, wanting to comfort him. As soon as he walked out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he saw a young man in blue clothes coming towards him. It was one of Yan Canglan's good friends, the Jiangnan talent Lin Zixuan.

Seeing this, Lin Zixuan hurried forward to stop Yan Canglan and asked with concern: "Brother Yan, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

Yan Canglan sighed and told Lin Zixuan the whole story. It turned out that Yan Canglan had hosted a banquet for his friends at Xiaoxiang Pavilion today, but was insulted by a frivolous young man named Wang Zhiyuan, who spoke rudely to Yan Canglan.

After hearing this, Lin Zixuan was furious and slammed the table and stood up: "Wang Zhiyuan dared to be so presumptuous, we must make him pay the price!"

Yan Canglan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This matter involves a lot of people, I don't want to make a big deal out of it. I'm just feeling very angry and want to find a place to vent."
