Yan Shifang knew that Jing Yi liked poetry, so he presented it to him with the three-volume "Qianshantang Poetry Collection". This is a newly engraved collection of poems by Yan Song, the chief minister of the dynasty. Jing Yi followed Zeng Yu to visit the scenic spots of Fenyi while reciting Yan Song's poems. Zeng Yu read this poem. Yan Song's poems in his early years were beautiful and melodious, and they were quiet and leisurely. Li Mengyang, the leader of the "First Seven Sons", all praised Yan Song's poems. However, after Yan Song became bigger and he had more social works, there were no good poems. After entering the cabinet, he was even more mediocre and inexplicable. Poetry must be poor before he could work. The greater the official position, the worse the poetry. The success of his career is, the opposite is the level of poetry.

The poem is like the person, although it can be concealed, but after careful study, you can see the author's temperament. Zeng Yu discovered Yan Song's feminine character from Yan Song's poems. Yan Song's poems are rarely bold, generous and upright, and later poems are full of charming and flattering spirit. The stubborn and self-righteous Emperor Jiajing needed such a prime minister, so it is very debatable to later generations to describe Yan Song as a treacherous minister. In Zeng Yu's view, Yan Song was dragged down by his son Yan Shifan-

Jing Yi stayed in Jieqiao Village for three days. Zeng Yu invited the old man Yan Dai as his guide to accompany Jing Yi to visit Qianshan and visit Hongyang Cave where Yan Song was studying when he was a teenager. The old man Yan Dai sincerely admired Yan Song, and talked about the miracles and strange things in his early years.

Hongyang Cave is located on the western foot of the seven peaks of Yuanling. It is known as "Seventeen Stone Room and Seventy Two Stone Caves". The strange stone walls in the cave are standing and the stalactites are rugged. The stone wall at the entrance of the cave is engraved with five simple and vigorous characters "Hongyang Ancient Cave Heaven". There is also a statue of Ge Hong's god. Old Man Yan pointed to a black stone like a stove in the cave and said, "This is the alchemy stove that Ge Xianweng refines. The two husbands stretched their hands to the top of the alchemy stove to try."

Zeng Yu and Jing Yi put their palms on the black stone as they said. Old Man Yan asked mysteriously: "Did you feel a surge of heat rushing upward?"

Zeng Yu and Jing Yi looked at each other. There was no heat in the cave, but Old Man Yan's expectant eyes made them nod. Old Man Yan, with wrinkles on his face, suddenly smiled and said loudly: "This is the heat that Ge Xianweng had not dissipated after he refined the alchemy. It has not dissipated in thousands of years. Isn't it magic?"

Zeng Yu, Jing Yi laughed, Ge Hong is thousands of years old

When he arrived at Yan Song's reading desk in Hongyang Cave, there was a stone table, two stone benches, and there were incense and spirit cards on the stone table. It is said that local scholars prayed to the fox fairy to bless the high school entrance examination here. Old Man Yan said: "When he was a young man, he studied poetry and books here. Once, heavy snow fell from the sky and the servants could not deliver food. Old Ge was so hungry that his stomach was roaring and dizzy when he read the book. At this time, the fox fairy appeared and spitted a colorful bead for him to swallow it.

After swallowing the bead, Master Yan was not hungry at all, and he was more than ten times smarter than before. He never remembered his words, and he was a scholar, Juren, Jinshi, and Hanlin high school. Master Yan lived in his 81 year old this year, twenty years older than the old man, but his body was stronger than the old man. This is why he swallowed the Fox Fairy Pearl back then. Master Yan was already a half-immortal body--the two ministers worshiped the Fox Fairy, and the Fox Fairy will definitely bless the two of them to the Golden List."

Zeng Yu and Jing Yi bowed to the fox fairy spirit card on the stone table. Zeng Yu thought to himself: "In ancient times, great people have always been accompanied by various miracles by the world. Yan Song has become a semi-immortal body. It's really funny. After Yan Song fell, he must have said that Yan Song was deceived by the fox fairy and was infected with demonic energy, so he would behave inappropriately."

On the morning of September 25, Jing Yi said goodbye to Yan Shifang and asked to return to Yichun. Yan Shifang said, "I won't send you there anymore. Please Zeng Sheng send you to Jichang Garden, have lunch in the garden, and then take a boat to Yichun at the pier."

At the end of the Chen period, Zeng Yu and Jing Yi walked away from Jieqiao Village and talked all the way. A servant of Yan followed him. On the way, he met a man who was carrying a basket and took a second man to Fengshuwan to deliver rice, grain, meat and vegetables. A grass carp that was more than half a foot long was hung on his shoulder. In a flash, Yan Shifan offered Lu Miaoxiang and Yingzi very much.

When the manager Rao saw Zeng Yu, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Zeng, where are you going?"

Zeng Yudao: "Send the student of Jing to the Dongmen Wharf to board the boat."

The Yan servant who accompanied him added: "Mr. Zeng must go to the garden for lunch first."

Manager Rao's expression was a little weird and he whispered: "Mr. Zeng doesn't know yet. The garden is in chaos, and the two concubines of Master Donglou are gone."

The first thing Zeng Yu thought of was Pei Lin. Pei Lin ran away with someone and asked, "What's going on?"

Manager Rao said, "Two concubines, one of whom is Wei and the other is Gong. They fled with jewelry last night and found out that they were gone this morning. Mrs. Cao was extremely angry and sent someone to report to the officials. She was chasing them everywhere and was determined to catch the two bitches back."

Zeng Yuxin said, "It's not Pei Lin who escaped. It seems that there are many bold and arrogant concubines among Yan Shifan's concubines. Yan Shifan has too many women and can't even serve him every night. Naturally, he is dissatisfied with desire. Now Yan Shifan is going to Beijing again, and he is lonely in his empty bedroom, so he wants to elope for a small life." He also thought, "Why didn't Pei Lin run away? That beautiful woman is obviously restless?"

Because of this incident in Jichang Garden, Zeng Yu did not plan to enter the garden. He asked the Yan servant to go to the garden for food. He and Jing Yi ordered a pound of Magu wine and four dishes in a restaurant outside the east gate, namely a bowl of Xiaoqiao stewed white duck, a plate of steamed rice noodles, a plate of green vegetables, and a plate of peeled eggs. The two of them ate and chatted, enjoying the scenery of Yuanhe outside the window, which was more comfortable and comfortable than eating in Jichang Garden.

While drinking and eating, Jing Yi asked: "My dear brother went back to school and returned home last time. Has the matchmaker stepped on the threshold?"

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "No one cares about this matter - I forgot to tell Brother Yuanzhi that I am now moving outside the north gate of Shangrao County. I have time to go to Shangrao in the future and ask Zeng Xiucai who can read Feng Shui outside the north gate. Someone will give you some advice."

Jing Yi said: "It's great. Shangrao is closer to Yichun. I'll come to have a wedding when my brother gets married."

Zeng Yu poured wine and toasted Jing Yi, drank it all, and said, "Okay, if you welcome the bride, you will definitely send a letter to Brother Yuanzhi." He was holding some words in his heart and wanted to tell him, but he was worried that he would scare Jing Yi. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Lu Miaoxiang was Yan Shifan's concubine. He was obsessed with Yan Shifan's concubine, but there were many people in this world who didn't know how to live or die. Last night, there were two Yan concubines in Jichang Garden. The man who seduced or was tempted to elope with Yan's concubine was so terrible. Or was it time for Yan Shifan to be poached?

But Jing Yi stretched his neck and whispered: "I know my brother's thoughts. That Miss Yingzi is indeed smart and beautiful. Hehe, I wish you good things as soon as possible."

Zeng Yu said in surprise: "Where did Brother Yuanzhi start?"

Jing Yi smiled and said, "Young brother, don't hide it from me. The eyes of that young lady Yingzi looked at her with affection.

Zeng Yuxin said, "Oh no, even Jing Yuanzhi, who was just a newcomer, can't Mr. Fang Tang have suspicions, right?" There is nothing to argue about, just laughing and drinking.

After drinking and eating, the store owner had already told a boatman that it was easy to take Jing Yi back to Yichun. These merchant ships were very convenient for scholars who took boats, without any money, and had refreshments to serve.

He went to the dock to send Jing Yi on board and made an appointment to see him next month. Seeing the merchant ship slowly flowing away, Zeng Yu returned to Jieqiao Village alone, but was called by the Yan servant on Xigang Road. The servant said that Mrs. Cao asked Mr. Zeng to meet in the garden and asked about Mr. Shaoqing's study and life situation-

Zeng Yu followed the servant to Jichang Garden. The garden's supervisor was ordered by Yan Shaoqing's mother Cao to welcome him in front of the door, and asked Zeng Yu to go to the west hall to meet him. Zeng Yu saw that there were also clerks and yamen runners in the garden. He must have been chasing the two concubines of Yan who had elopement. They were convenient for water and land transportation. They went south to Lingnan and north to Jianghuai. It was really difficult to catch them if they had to elope.

When he arrived at the West Hall, he sat for a while. Cao was 36 years old. Because he gave birth to Yan Shaoqing, his mother was noble. In addition to his wife Liu, he was the most famous. Last year, Yan Shifan returned to his hometown to mourn. Liu did not accompany him because of his illness, so he respected Cao. Cao was also very decent and dignified, and refused to show up. He talked to Zeng Yu through the pearl curtain in the West Hall. Because Yan Shaoqing praised Zeng Yu several times in front of his mother Cao, Cao respected Zeng Yu very much. Thanks to Zeng Yu for his teachings to Yan Shaoqing, and gave Zeng Yu a piece of jade-colored and brocade, a piece of Goryeo cloth, a white jade inkstone, a piece of Song Tuan "Preface to the Holy Teachings", a box of tiger tea, and two boxes of snacks. The servant carried it to Zeng Yu in a long basket and sent it to Zeng Yu's residence.

Zeng Yutui was not allowed, so he had to accept it. He had to praise Yan Shaoqing for a few words, so that his mother's joy would be happy. After drinking half a cup of tea, he left the hall. The servant followed with a gift from a long basket and said, "Mr. Zeng, are you going back to the village now?"

Zeng Yu was a little anxious and said, "Wait a minute, I want to go to the toilet, where is it?"

The servant led Zeng Yu to the cottage in the northeast corner of the west garden. Zeng Yuxiao took it out and washed his hands in the small pond beside the garden. The water in the small pond flowed down from the back mountain, clear and clear. There were a few red carp in the pond, swimming around. Zeng Yu squatted by the pond for a while and looked at the fish. He was about to get up and go back. Suddenly, dozens of red leaves floated with the water. The water flowed down from the back mountain and flowed into the small pond through the inner courtyard of the west garden. Could it be that there were red leaves writing poems, Yan Shifan's concubine was so romantic?

There is no poem on the red leaves, but a small stone suddenly flew into the pool water, splashing a few splashes. Then he heard a woman laughing on the inside wall. Zeng Yu looked up and saw a swing swaying high. A beautiful woman in a lotus-colored satin dress was smiling at him from a high place. The swing fell down and then flew up again after a moment. The beautiful woman's eyes were flowing under the bright autumn sun, and her skirt was floating, like a figure in the Dunhuang murals, which made Zeng Yu stunned for a moment.

The beautiful woman on the swing was Pei Lin. Seeing Zeng Yu fascinated by her, she couldn't help but feel proud. She was about to show off her charming figure. Unexpectedly, when the buttocks slipped, she couldn't grasp the rope of the swing with both hands, and she fell to the ground. The empty swing was still swaying above the inner wall. Zeng Yu heard it and was filled with surprise.

"Sister Lin fell down."

"Hold up quickly, help up quickly-"
