Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Huichun Pavilion, a brothel that sells art but not women, also hosts poetry gatherings and sells books, making it a favorite among scholars. And Zhaoxue is the pavilion's mainstay.

Shen Jin changed into the appearance of a maid again, carrying a food box, and knocked on Zhaoxue's door: "Miss, I'm here to bring you food."

"Come in." Zhaoxue said.

Shen Jin pushed the door open and walked in. The first thing he saw was a guqin, and behind it stood a folding screen with a painting of a person searching for plum blossoms in the snow, but the painter had focused on the rising sun in the sky.

The white snow glows with golden light, which is more dazzling than the red plum blossoms, and is named Zhaoxue.

Shen Jin saw the painter next to him, Qi Ci.

It occurred to me that at least Qi Ci and Zhao Xue had a good relationship.

It was not the time to meet guests, so Zhaoxue did not put on any makeup on her face and only wore a light purple skirt.

Seeing Shen Jin, she smiled slightly: "Today, is this the first time I see you?"

Zhaoxue stopped her from setting the table.

"My dear, Sister Lan'er is not in the pavilion today because of something, so she sent me to bring you some food. She said that you have been longing for the peach blossom wine for a long time, so she asked me to bring it to you as well."

"I see." Zhaoxue withdrew her hand that was blocking the food box: "Serve the food."

She looked at the dish, and after confirming that it was Lan'er who had given the order, she breathed a sigh of relief and casually asked, "Did Lan'er say when she would be back?"

"Not yet."

After Shen Jin finished speaking, she quietly retreated to the corner. As for Lan Er, she must have found out something here before she came back.

This Zhaoxue seems to be more cautious than ordinary people.

Is it because you are afraid of being poisoned?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Zhaoxue say, "Go out first. I'll call you in after I finish eating."

"Yes."

Shen Jin left respectfully, but his consciousness was still locked on Zhaoxue.

The door was closed. Zhaoxue heard the sound and looked out a few more times before starting to eat.

She eats very carefully, not only slowly but also in small portions, just like a hamster.

However, Shen Jin discovered that she actually took out a piece of white paper from the wine jug.

The spiritual consciousness quickly followed and locked onto the white paper.

"Yin month eleven, Zi hour one quarter."

It's time. Who is she going to meet?

Shen Jin observed Zhaoxue carefully, his face tinged with pleasure and a slight frown, understanding but also a bit of shame and indignation. She hadn't mentioned the location, so it seemed like this had happened more than once, and Zhaoxue was already quite adept at it.

So, it was a secret meeting with a lover?

No, this expression wasn't as simple as a lover's. Anyway, the eleventh was three days later, and Shen Jin planned to follow and see. If it had nothing to do with Qi Ci and the others, she would leave.

......

"You should go to bed early today. You don't have to keep watch."

When the appointed time came, Zhaoxue attached great importance to it and did not even let Shen Jin sleep in the outer room. Instead, she arranged for him to sleep in a remote northern room near the toilet.

She looked like she needed Shen Jin to testify, but didn't want Shen Jin to know that she had left.

Never mind. It doesn’t matter.

Shen Jin thought to himself, silently reviewing the information of the past few days in his mind.

She did not see Qi Ci in Huichun Pavilion. Instead, it was Chen Jinbao who came several times and almost forgot that he was the magistrate of Qingtian County.

As for Xiao Jiangran, he has a close relationship with Qi Ci. I heard that their relationship is so good that they can talk late into the night.

He was a young and strong man, but he insisted on staying up late with a forty-year-old woman. It was really unethical. However, it did show that the two of them had similar interests.

Shen Jin thought about the image of Qi Ci in her mind: a down-to-earth, gentle, and goal-oriented official.

Well, even if she kept trying to label Qi Ci a corrupt official, she had to sincerely say that, judging from the current situation, Qi Ci and Xiao Jiangran were indeed of the same kind.

On the contrary, Qi Ci and Chen Jinbao have a neither-close nor-distant relationship, and there is no sign of the so-called fellow-disciple friendship.

The disaster isn't serious right now, but the course of events is irreversible, and casualties are inevitable.

This was what Shen Jin did when he tried to help deal with the disaster and reduce some of the damage, but was warned by the world's rules.

The system's conservative evaluations were truly a privilege for him. Shen Jin would describe him as an old stubborn man who couldn't adapt, only allowing the world to run along the lines he had set. If any variables arose, he would simply strangle them.

It is one of the world consciousnesses that Shen Jin dislikes the most.

But the situation was stronger than people, and there was indeed plenty of time, so Shen Jin pretended to admit his mistake and temporarily suppressed the idea of forcibly advancing the plot.

Zhaoxue got up from the bed. In the dark night, she skillfully changed into a narrow-sleeved nightgown and pushed open the door.

Just at this moment, Shen Jin, who was lying flat, opened his eyes and stood behind Zhaoxue.

The night outside was extremely dark. Zhaoxue did not light a lamp, but instead walked along the path in the moonlight, twisting and turning as if walking on flat ground.

Not long after, they arrived at a remote courtyard near the back door of Huichun Pavilion, which was very quiet.

Shen Jin knew this place, where Huichun Pavilion usually stored the daily ingredients.

The people delivering the food usually arrive at the hour of Mao.

It was a relief for her to find such a suitable place. It was remote and sparsely populated, and if she was discovered, she could escape directly through the back door and the alley.

It is indeed suitable for private meetings.

Shen Jin squatted on the treetop, next to an owl. The man and the bird stared at Zhaoxue with great interest.

Zhaoxue finally met the mysterious man.

Shen Jin's spiritual consciousness was always fixed on Zhaoxue. Although he was far away, he could see her clearly.

That man was actually Qi Ci!

Shen Jin was shocked, Shen Jin was amazed, and Shen Jin drove the owl away with a punch.

An owl suddenly flew up, scaring the two people who were hugging in the distance and separating them instantly.

Zhaoxue's cheeks flushed slightly: "Master Qi, it has been a long time since you came to see me."

"You know that my family is very strict." Qi Ci stroked her hair, with a frivolous tone in her voice.

His hand moved to her waist again, with an anxious look. Zhaoxue held his hand: "I came to see you with all my heart, and when you saw me, you only did this."

He actually shed tears and cried.

"You're going to break my heart." Qi Ci hurriedly comforted him, "I promised to marry you formally and bring you into the mansion. Just give me some more time."

Zhaoxue: "It's all about the wife being inferior to the concubine, and the concubine being inferior to... If I were to be discovered, Zhaoxue would probably have no chance of survival."

Qi Ci cried so hard that he promised on the spot, saying that he was the head of a state and the head of a family, so how could a man of his stature go back on his word? After finally comforting the beautiful woman, he took her out through the back door.

Shen Jin naturally followed.

Qi Ci was quite secretive. He went through many small alleys and finally came to a villa and brought the person inside.

Shen Jin withdrew his consciousness from what happened next. However, the two were too impatient, and Shen Jin, who originally thought they would start in bed, was forced to take a look at the naked body of a human.

......

resignedly.

She marked the spot and left, planning to return and investigate again after the day people had left.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have dared to recognize that this person was Qi Ci.

She was completely different from the Qi Ci she had met some time ago.
