Yun Mansion.

Hong Jiao ran so hard that her heart almost beat out of her chest, and her mouth was full of the taste of blood. Finally, she ran to the main courtyard and found Madam Yun.

"Madam." Hong Jiao called out before she could even catch her breath, "Second Young Master, quickly ask him to go to the Lin Mansion. Imperial Tutor Mo Yun is about to arrive."

"What?" Yun An was so shocked that she accidentally knocked over the teacup.

Hong Jiao looked at her in confusion. Imperial Teacher Mo Yun going to the Lin Mansion should be a good thing, but why was Madam Yun so panicked?

How can I not panic?

Yunnan Sang was supposed to accompany Lin Xiner back home today, but somehow, Liu'er used some kind of seductive magic to trick Yunnan Sang into taking her to Jingci Temple, thirty miles south of the city. She claimed that an immortal had appeared in her dream the previous night, telling her that her unborn child would have great fortune in the future and that she must go to Jingci Temple in person to burn incense and pray for blessings.

Yun'an didn't believe in such supernatural talk, but the old lady did. Early in the morning, the old lady sent a servant to find an excuse to call Yunnan Sang over, and then she personally took the two of them out of the city in a carriage.

"Bitch! Truly a bitch!" Yun An's teeth itched in hatred. She had tried countless times to get close to the Imperial Tutor, spending countless sums of money and giving away precious treasures to try to get him in touch, but to no avail.

Imperial Tutor Mo Yun was known for his peculiar temper, so it was a great fortune to have him here in person. Such a great opportunity had been presented to him, but Yunnan Sang wasn't there, and wouldn't be back for more.

Even if he set out to look for someone now, it would be dark when he returned. Would Yun Mo be waiting for him? Even if he raised his pillow higher, he wouldn't dare to dream about it.

Hong Jiao's heart sank. She had originally thought Yunnan Sang wouldn't go far, but now it looked like he wouldn't be able to make it back in time. Thinking about how her daughter had painstakingly planned things for so long, only to be thwarted every time by this son-in-law, Hong Jiao felt bad.

Hong Jiao returned to the Lin Mansion dejectedly. Just as she told Lin Xiner the news, Mo Yun came to visit.

Lin Qiqi also met Mo Yun for the first time. He was completely different from the majestic imperial teacher she had imagined. This Mo Yun looked more like a free and easy immortal cultivator.

Mo Yun, looking about fifty, wore a pea-green robe, loosely held together by a belt adorned with a thumb-sized pearl. His waist-length gray hair was untied, only partially tied with a navy blue headband. He exuded an indescribable air of elegance and grace.

There were few wrinkles on his face, his beard was neatly trimmed, his complexion was rosy, and when he spoke, his voice was as loud as a bell: "Young friend Yun, I am not too late."

Lin Qiqi looked at Yun Qing in surprise: "Do you know him?"

Yun Qing chuckled and whispered, "He's a frequent visitor to Zuixianfang. He has a private room on the fourth floor, so of course I've seen him before."

There are twelve private rooms on the fourth floor of Zuixianfang, four of which are fixed, and Mo Yun is one of them.

When Zuixianfang was first established, these four private rooms were auctioned off, granting the purchaser permanent access to the new wine. Mo Yun, a wine lover, would not miss this opportunity. Due to his high status in the capital, no one competed with him, so he secured the use of the rooms at a very low price.

As for the other three boxes, they were bought by the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the King of Qi respectively.

"Mo Yun knows that A Qing is the owner of Zuixianfang?" Lin Qiqi asked quietly. The fact that Yun Qing was the owner of Zuixianfang was probably unknown in the capital. If Mo Yun knew about it, it seemed that this person was not ordinary.

"I know. Mo Yun and my grandfather are deeply involved. There are many things that we don't need to hide from him."

No need to hide it from him? Lin Qiqi looked at her handsome husband in surprise. It seemed that her husband was quite secretive. Even someone as difficult to approach as Mo Yun was so familiar with him.

When Lin Xiu De saw Mo Yun coming, he immediately put on a smile and went out to greet him in person.

Lin Xin'er was behind, her face dark. Hong Jiao's report had nearly made her faint. Not to mention how much of a shame it was to miss meeting Mo Yun. On the day of his legitimate wife's return, Yunnan Sang actually took a lowly concubine out to pay respects? Even if the concubine was pregnant, one day wouldn't matter, right?

Lin Xiner felt that her face was hurting, and she had to use all her strength to suppress the tears in her eyes.

Seeing that Lin Xiner's face was getting uglier, Lin Qiqi walked up to her with a look of concern, held her hand and asked, "Sister, why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Xiner moved her lips and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

Before she could open her mouth, the gate of the Lin Mansion suddenly became bustling.

When everyone in the Lin Mansion arrived at the door, they saw that the outside was already crowded with famous scholars and students.

News of the Imperial Preceptor's arrival at the Lin Residence had somehow spread, and upon hearing the news, the teachers from the academy left their classrooms and rushed to the Lin Residence. Several great scholars from the Imperial Academy also rushed over, partly to see Mo Yun, and partly because most of them were also wine lovers and wanted to see the Imperial Preceptor savor the legendary Yuehua Qionglu with their own eyes.

Seeing the bustling crowd at the entrance, including many renowned teachers and scholars, Lin Xiude was overjoyed. The Lin family had truly gained glory today.

Lin Xiner clenched her hands tightly. The Lin family gained face, but she lost all her face.

The news that Yunnan Sang was absent from her home today would surely spread among the students very soon, and she would become the talk of the women in Beijing.

Why was this happening? Lin Xiner's heart was sinking. Many things were completely out of her control, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond. She looked at Lin Qiqi with resentment. It was her meddling that had attracted so many people. It was all Lin Qiqi's fault.

Lin Qiqi saw the resentment in Lin Xiner's eyes and pretended to apologize to her, "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to get so serious. I originally invited Mo Yun to the mansion today to add color to your homecoming banquet. I thought it would be good for you if the Imperial Preceptor came. I really wanted to support you and make you look good. But I didn't expect that my second brother would be absent. Look..."

Lin Qiqi pretended that she couldn't continue speaking and lowered her head to wipe away her non-existent tears.

Yun Qing was heartbroken and quickly came over to hug him. "This isn't Qiqi's fault. I didn't expect my second brother to be so rude. I must report this to father when I get home and have him severely punished."

"But there are so many people outside, how do we accommodate them?" Lin Qiqi asked in a tearful voice.

Lin Xiner was also confused. Yeah, with so many people here, how could they accommodate them? Whose homecoming banquet would have such a grand scene of students blocking the door? Kick them all out? That definitely wouldn't work. They probably wouldn't leave even if they were kicked out. As long as Mo Yun was there, they would definitely not leave.

Who is Mo Yun? He is not only the Imperial Teacher, but also the ideal of the students. How many students are proud to have met him? Even if they can't receive Mo Yun's guidance, just seeing him from afar is a kind of spiritual cleansing.

Lin Qiqi felt that the students' enthusiasm for Mo Yun was comparable to that of a cult. It was a plot straight out of a bad book; it made no sense at all. Lin Qiqi suddenly wanted to laugh, but the current situation wouldn't allow it, so she had to hold it in.

Old Madam Lin and Second Madam Lin were looking around not far away, not knowing what to do for a moment.

No one expected Mo Yun to have such a great influence. Almost all the famous scholars were present. Even the Luming Banquet was not as grand as this.

Lin Xiu De was also dumbfounded. He had never encountered such a situation before. Closing the door was not an option, and opening it was even less of an option. He looked at Mo Yun eagerly, hoping that Mo Yun could give him a solution, but Mo Yun didn't even look at him. He just looked at Yun Qing with a fanatical look on his face.

Actually looking at Yunqing? Lin Xiude felt bad. But when he thought about it, it made sense. The wine was found by Yunqing and now stored in the wine cellar in the main room. Only Yunqing and Lin Qiqi knew which jars they were.

Yun Qing was comforting his little wife: "Don't worry, they're coming soon. Soon these people will be properly accommodated."

Then he lowered his head and whispered a few words in Lin Qiqi's ear. Lin Qiqi raised her wet eyes and looked at him: "Really?"

Yun Qing smiled and nodded.

Lin Qiqi then walked up to Lin Xiner, continuing her good sister demeanor as she spoke softly, "Sister, please send someone to welcome the great scholars and teachers in first. Those students will be well taken care of. However, I'm afraid that the family banquet that was originally meant for me will have to be given to these great scholars and imperial teachers. I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Emma, ​​the smell of tea was so strong that Lin Qiqi almost burst out laughing.

If she were a bystander, she would probably sympathize with Lin Xiner. A perfect homecoming banquet had been ruined like this. But from the perspective of the victim, thinking about Liu Anyu in the space, she couldn't feel any pity for Lin Xiner.

Lin Xiner no longer cared about the family dinner. She was already in a mess and didn't care about continuing to resent anyone. She just wanted to end this farce quickly.

Lin Xiner quickly conveyed Lin Qiqi's words to Lin Xiu De. Lin Xiu De had no better idea, so he invited the master and the great scholars in one by one.

The seats originally in the main hall were moved to the courtyard. There were so many people that two large tables needed to be put together to accommodate everyone. The main hall could not accommodate everyone at all.

Mo Yun didn't care. As long as he could drink the wine he wanted, he would accept any arrangement.

The sound of a carriage was heard not far away, and the students turned around to see a line of carriages with the Baiweilou logo slowly approaching.

The fat shopkeeper of Baiweilou was holding a roll of red silk cloth, followed by twelve waiters, each holding a tray with a lid.

The fat shopkeeper struggled to squeeze through the students and entered the Lin Mansion, shouting as he squeezed: "Baiweilou, add more dishes to the wine tasting banquet for Imperial Tutor Mo Yun~"

"Bai Xiang Lou has added twelve new dishes: smoked chicken belly, glutinous rice stuffed duck, soft fried shrimp kidneys, stir-fried pig's trotter tendons, braised duck feet, stir-fried mushrooms, stir-fried fish maw, stir-fried pork slices with vinegar, pan-fried meatballs, cherry meat, three stir-fried dishes, pressed duck and chicken in a bucket! Please accept them, Imperial Master." After the fat shopkeeper finished announcing the names of the dishes, his head was already covered in sweat. He held up the menu written on red silk in both hands and handed it to Mo Yun.

Lin Qiqi covered her mouth and laughed. She had been worried that the shopkeeper would start to list the dishes, but luckily it wasn't that outrageous.

"Also," the shopkeeper turned to look at the students gathered outside the Lin Mansion, "Baiweilou has specially arranged a buffet for all the students to add a touch of luck to the Imperial Tutor. Please join us."

After saying that, the waiters moved the tables and chairs from the carriage. Soon, food boxes were brought out and hot meals were placed on the table.

Mo Yun smiled and stroked his beard, then took out a jade pendant from his waist. "I would like to thank the owner of Baiweilou. Take this jade pendant and tell your owner that you can recommend a student to me with this jade pendant. As long as the student's qualifications are not bad, I will definitely not refuse him."

The whole audience was in an uproar. The owner of Baiweilou had made a fortune by receiving Mo Yun's promise. The onlookers began to ask who the owner of Baiweilou was.

Lin Xiner felt even worse. It seemed her homecoming banquet had given others an opportunity to connect with the Imperial Tutor. As for herself, forget it. She couldn't even think about it. The thought made her heart ache even more. But thinking about the dowry, Lin Xiner's heart gradually calmed down.

Even if Mo Yun came today just for her wine, Lin Xiuyuan would be finished. After today, Grandmother would expel the entire Lin family from the first branch. Then, the second branch would be in charge. Once Lin Xiuyuan fell, what would Lin Qiqi be? She wasn't anxious. It was just wine, wasn't it? Today was Yuehua Qionglu, and tomorrow there was Zuixifeng. Yes! And Zuixifeng! She had to get Zuixianfang quickly. With Zuixifeng, she would have another chance.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiner slowly calmed down, walked to the side of Old Madam Lin, slowly sat down, and looked at the lively scene at the table with cold eyes.

Lin Qiqi had already sent someone to bring out several jars of wine, along with the accompanying wineware. One set was made of pure glass, one was made of white porcelain, and one was made of celadon. Putting aside the wine, these three sets of wineware alone were impressive enough. The glassware, in particular, seemed especially precious in this glassless world.

"Is that crystal?" someone asked quietly.

"No, it looks more like glass. But how can there be such pure glass?" As expected, as the wine utensils came out, discussions broke out.

Lin Xiner was jealous again. She had never even seen such good stuff before, yet Lin Qiqi grabbed three sets! Why? When all the first wives died, she would take all these things!

"Open the wine!" Yunshan, acting as the wine-opening waiter, called out. He then picked up the first jar of wine and opened the lid. The moment the lid opened, the rich aroma of the wine spread.

Everyone smelled the aroma of the wine and showed intoxicated expressions.

"What kind of wine is this? Why does it smell so good?" someone asked. "I've never smelled such a rich aroma."

Yunshan slowly poured the wine into the glass. The crystal clear wine swayed in the glass, emitting a charming luster.

"Wow, this wine looks so beautiful!" exclamations of praise rang out.

"Yeah, just looking at it makes people want to take a sip." Someone agreed.

Everyone stared at the wine glass eagerly. They didn't even dare to imagine how good the wine would taste. Just smelling it was the greatest privilege for them.

Yun Qing walked over, picked up the wine glass and handed it to Mo Yun respectfully. Mo Yun took the wine glass and immediately took a sip.

"This wine is amazing! It has a mellow taste and rich aroma, leaving a lasting aftertaste." Mo Yun's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "What a great wine!"

Everyone greedily sniffed the aroma of the wine, but no one dared to ask for more. Just kidding, who would dare to snatch wine from the Imperial Master? But the food at Baiweilou was also incredibly delicious. Smelling the wine and eating the meat was a satisfying experience.

Yunshan then opened the second jar of wine. He had thought the aroma of the first jar was already quite strong, but after opening this one, the aroma of the first jar seemed much weaker.

"The wine in front was fragrant enough, just like suddenly passing by a wine-making corridor, with a gentle breeze blowing and the aroma of wine blowing on your face. There is nowhere to hide. But this jar, the aroma of wine comes down with a drizzle, soaking your whole body, making you bathe in it and unable to control yourself." Wu Daru sighed.

Yun Qing had already handed the wine in a white porcelain bowl to Mo Yun.

Mo Yun took a sip. "It's mellow on the palate, lingering on the lips and teeth, refreshing to the lungs." Mo Yun sipped again and again intoxicatedly. "But this wine is still not Yuehua Qionglu."

Yun Qing smiled and said, "The Imperial Master is right." After that, he personally opened the third jar of wine.

As soon as the seal is opened, the aroma of wine begins to seep out.

When Mo Yun smelled the fragrance, he was stunned. He felt as if he was in a forest in an instant, with wisps of white mist lingering around him. The most secret happiness deep in his heart was slowly expanding, and an indescribable feeling of pleasure instantly filled his whole body.

Just the aroma of the wine made him feel this way! He could hardly imagine what it would be like to drink it.

"Don't open it!" Mo Yun held Yun Qing's hand and slowly sealed the jar. "Please give this jar to me. I won't taste it in public."

"Please open the other two jars, Young Master Yun, and share them with everyone." Mo Yun held the last jar tightly in his arms. He didn't want to share this wine, even if it was fragrant.

Everyone at the table was buzzing with excitement. How could they possibly be so lucky as to get a sip of the fine wine the Imperial Master had tasted? Even before the aroma had even begun to spread, they were already salivating with cravings. They'd thought it was a blessing to be able to smell such a fine wine, but now the Imperial Master was actually willing to share it with them. Oh my god, this was truly a moment of honor for the family.

Lin Qiqi smiled like a fox. How could it not be delicious? There was no such thing as Yuehua Qionglu. This was a treasure from her mustard seed space. The Feitian platform was fine.

Even in later generations it would be difficult to snatch it.

She also occasionally got a few bottles from the wine cellar of a rich second-generation friend, and later used the new technology in the bureau to copy a lot of them.

Mo Yun didn't wait for the banquet to end and slipped out the back door with the wine.

The rest of the people, whether inside or outside the palace, ate to their heart's content until sunset.

The waiters at Baiweilou were very responsible. After the banquet, they cleaned up the place themselves before leaving.

Baiweilou once again became the talk of the town, not only because of its delicious dishes, but also because of a promise Mo Yun had made.

Lin Xiner's homecoming banquet ended in such an absurd way.

As dusk fell, Lin Xiner dragged her exhausted body back to the Yun Mansion. Yunnan Sang and the old lady also returned with Liu'er.

Lin Xiner didn't even look at Yunnan Sang. This idiot would know what he had missed. He didn't need to say anything, Madam Yun would tell him everything that happened today.
