The corner of Luo Chengyang's mouth moved, and he finally swallowed the words back.

The book boy went out to reply.

But for a moment, he ran back with an unnatural look on his face.

"How? Has her letter really been made public?" Cao Xiang asked.

"yes."

"Ha, I'm really not afraid of shame." Cao Xiang sneered, "Tell me, what did she write?"

The book boy hesitated and said: "Master, you should go out and have a look."

Cao Xiang frowned and was in doubt when he heard a commotion outside.

He and the others looked at each other, and at the same time got up and walked out.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the academy, arguing around the wall of the outer courtyard.

As soon as Cao Xiang came out, he immediately ushered in a strange look.

His scalp went numb, and he walked through the crowd towards the outer wall.

The people around gave way consciously, and Cao Xiang soon came to the wall. Looking up, saw blood red, and saw a poem written in bright red blood on the white silk:

The blossoms are not a hundred flowers, and the independent sparse fence is not exhausted.

I'd rather die with the incense sticks on the branches, never blowing into the north wind. (Excerpted from "Painted Chrysanthemum" by Zheng Sixiao)

"It's better to hold the fragrance on the branches to death, why did it blow into the north wind." Cao Xiang murmured with a blue face.

In just a few dozen words, he expressed his noble and unyielding determination.

Rather Stick to your guns. The daughter of an aristocratic family is never a concubine.

Whether it is a literati or a famous family, the most important festival. They do not speak, do not mean default. If the Qi family did not respond, they would naturally not be too busy, but as soon as this poem came out, it immediately won the support of many high scholars.

In the face of gossip, Miss Qi uses her poetry to express her ambition and her blood to defend the festival. The bright red writing is shocking.

"Brother Cao, do you still dare to take this woman as a concubine?" Someone asked with a smile.

Cao Xiang was speechless.

If he dares, I am afraid that the day he takes his concubine will be the time when his blood will be spattered on the spot.

He regrets it too much now, why didn't he come out to receive the letter in person just now. Now that this poem is made public, it is not Qi Surong who is embarrassed, but Cao Xiang.

The remarks that were originally in his favor were reversed because of this poem.

As Su Rong said, the name of the family is not just talking.

There is a popular saying in the capital: the family is famous, and the new rich are in power.

The famous family has a long history and deep roots, but if several generations of talents wither, they will gradually move away from the center of power. The Qi family is one of them. In the three generations of the Qi family, only Qi's father entered the court, and he was a highly feared military officer. After the Qi Mansion was sealed this time, the Qi family was already dead in name only. However, although the real power is lost, the reputation depends on it, and the famous family who has quite a personal relationship with the Qi family, even if they dare not support them openly, but they always have a steel scale in their hearts.

The upstarts are absolute power families. They have a short time to rise, but they are full of talents, determined to innovate, and have an unlimited future. If they can maintain the prosperity of the three generations, they will also enter the ranks of the aristocratic family. The most famous representative of the Dangchao Taiwei.

The first people to attack this matter are the major families that have a lot of ties to the Qi family.

Although the Qi family was defeated, their dignity remained. This is not only the humiliation of his family, but also the humiliation of all the aristocratic families.

The so-called one is prosperous, and one is destroyed. To the death of the family, all must adhere to the integrity.

To a famous family, Cao Xiang is just a small person who can't stand on the stage. If he wants to marry Miss Qi as his wife, that's all, he dares to humiliate her with a concubine. So arrogant, where do you put the name of the family?

The Cao family's move seemed calm at first, and they were allowed to act indiscriminately, and no one stopped them. But in fact, they have offended many aristocratic families, but the Qi family did not express their position, and they were inconvenienced to say more. And Qi Surong counterattacked with a poem, which was brilliant in writing, light in weight, striking in blood, and expressed his will, and instantly gained solidarity.

Four of the seven famous sects in the capital expressed dissatisfaction with the Cao family.

Gu Jinyun's father also had some connections in the capital, secretly reminding the Cao family.

As a result, Wu Run, a court official of the Cao family's in-laws, was impeached by the minister. It was a small matter, but it tarnished its reputation.

The Cao family's industry has also been suppressed a lot, and Gu Jinyun is the most serious. Several shops of the Cao family were embezzled by him without a trace.

Cao Xiang lost his face and was almost expelled from the academy.

One day not long after, he had his hair shaved unwittingly in his sleep. So far hidden, for a long time did not dare to appear in front of people.

The aristocratic family may have lost their rights, but they have a reputation and influence that ordinary people can't imagine, even the unpopular Qi's father.

In the last life, the Qi family did not realize the power of the family and did not know how to deal with the insults of others. Qi's father only knew how to be brave, while Su Rong only knew how to stand alone and did not dare to fight back. In the end, he lost his support and became an unknown loess.

The emperor can seal up the Qi family's mansion, but he cannot erase the name of the family. It is precisely because of this that Qi Surong dares to survive and gain fame in the turbulent flow.

As long as rights are not involved, the emperor will not interfere.

Before this, probably no one would have thought that a poem could play such a big role.

That bloody poem, hence the name, was sung by the world.

Qi family.

"Miss, you write poetry with chicken blood, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Ping'er asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, who has nothing to do to get a blood test?" Qi Surong said calmly, "Besides, isn't chicken blood blood? As long as it can scare people, it is good blood."

"..."

☆、Chapter 23 See you tomorrow

The aftermath of the concubine turmoil has not passed, but Qi Surong no longer pays attention. To her, Cao Xiang is just a small person, and there will be no place for him on Qingyun Road in the future. This incident gave Qi Surong an unyielding reputation, and it also confirmed that the name of the family really matters. The Qi family is not alone, at least when it comes to the righteousness of reputation, the famous family will never ignore it.

With Cao Xiang's lessons learned, believe that no one will dare to insult the Qi family at will in the future.
