There are countless restaurants in Chaoge who are famous far and wide. But among them, only the Moon Tower is the most special.

Because this restaurant does not accept civilians, even if it is rich, people without official positions in the family are still not eligible to enter.

Unless it is brought by someone, like Wen Yantong.

She stood at the door with a ghost and a ghost, causing Fu Zixian to become nervous involuntarily, and whispered, "What's the matter? Why don't you go in?"

Wen Yantong turned his head and said, "I don't know the people inside."

Fu Zixian said, "Xu is Xiaohou's friend..."

"What are you doing standing at the door?" Mu Yang greeted the two people who were whispering at the door, "Quickly come in."

Wen Yantong stiffened his head and entered the room. After a cursory glance, he saw five strange men on the seat, all of them handsome and handsome.

Cheng Xin was among them, smiling, "Why did Jing Xi bring them?"

Wen Yantong sat down with the door behind his back under the guidance of Mu Yang, with Chi Jingxi on the left and Fu Zixian on the right. She laughed dryly, "I just ran into Master Xiaohou on the side of the road, and Master Xiaohou came to his rescue. I wanted to invite him to a meal to thank him, but I didn't want Master Xiaohou to have an appointment."

As she said, she swept across the table, there were scattered snacks, which seemed to have not started to eat. However, there is only one carved porcelain jug on a large table, and it is hard to say whether it contains wine or not.

Don’t you drink at these personal gatherings?

The man sitting on the top smiled gently, and gave Chi Jingxi a helpless look, "Xiao Xi brought this to you on purpose. It's okay. Sit and eat together."

Chi Jingxi said, "They are all classmates of the academy."

Several people suddenly laughed, and some of them said in a convenient way, "I really didn't expect Xiaohouye to come here with his classmates one day."

The upper man said, "Classmate, is it from the same school?"

Wen Yantong glanced at Fu Zixian sideways. He wanted him to answer, but he didn’t expect that the man’s face was flushed and he was too nervous. The two hands hidden under the table curtain were twisted together, and he probably knocked as soon as he opened his mouth. bar.

She grinned embarrassedly, "Master Xiaohou is in Jiayi, and we are in Dingliu."

A top class, a crane tail.

The table was quiet for a moment, and several people seemed to get stuck at this moment, not knowing what to say. Cheng Xin relieved, "Don't look at these two people's literature, but the martial arts is still quite powerful."

Mu Yang chewed on the peanuts and followed him, "Yes, yes, Fu Zixian's archery skills are very good, and Brother Xi is better than him in the academy."

Several people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

Fu Zixian was so embarrassed that he wanted to get under the table, and he didn't even dare to say anything about being self-effacing. Wen Yantong saw that something was wrong with him and pinched him secretly. Fu Zixian shook his thigh in surprise, and said hurriedly, "I have won the prize, but my head is a little higher. There are still many great people in the academy..."

The high-ranking man said, "Are you from the Fu family? Prime Minister Fu's son?"

Fu Zixian quickly said, "Yes."

"I have dealt with Prime Minister Fu a few times. I didn't expect that the majestic Prime Minister would have such a shy son." He smiled.

Fu Zixian didn't dare to show up even more, lowered his head and said nothing.

Wen Yantong looked up and saw that the man had a gentle face, a small mole on the tip of his nose, and beautiful eyebrows. She was secretly startled in her heart. When she was in doubt, she heard Cheng Xin say, "Second brother, Fu Zixian is shy, don't scare him anymore, otherwise Yang'er is unwilling."

"Yes, Brother Shezhao, he is timid, don't frighten him." Mu Yang followed.

Wen Yantong now understood why Fu Zixian was so nervous and afraid. Because the gentle man sitting on the opposite side is the current prince.

Cheng Xin's elder brother. Cheng Yanchuan, the word She Zhao.

Wen Yantong suddenly realized that this may not be an ordinary gathering. Since the prince is sitting on the table, the identities of the remaining few people must be extraordinary.

Cheng Yanchuan had a very good temper. He laughed and said a few good times, then turned to Wen Yantong, "Where is this little boy? No one introduced me."

"This is Wen Yantong. There is no official position in the family. He is the son of a wealthy businessman in Chang'an." Chi Jingxi briefly introduced her.

A confused look appeared on the faces of several people, and they obviously didn't know Wen Yantong.

Chi Jingxi added, "It's the one who was crippled by the Fu's carriage a few days ago."

"Oh, that's how it is." Cheng Yanchuan was clear.

Wait, does this thing become her exclusive label?

Cheng Yanchuan said, "Since Xiaoxi brought you here, they are all friends, and you must not be cautious."

Wen Yantong nodded repeatedly. Can you not be cautious? Look at Fu Zixian, his limbs are almost constricted.

"Yu Lin, why is Xiao Xi so unhappy today? Is there something on my mind?" Cheng Yanchuan turned to ask the people around him.

Wen Yantong immediately cast his gaze, and saw that this person’s eyes were somewhat similar to those of Chi Jingxi. When he laughed, his eyes were narrowed into a slit, “I don’t know, I don’t know what this kid is thinking all day long, anyway. Trying to hold back bad ideas."

This is Chi Jingxi's half-brother, Chi Zhongjian, whose name is Yu Lin.

It was clearly stated in the book that there were many children in the Hou Mansion, but Chi Jingxi was the only one who was born. Chi Zhongjian's mother died early and was brought up by Mrs. Hou, so Chi Jingxi had a very good relationship with this second child.

Wen Yantong only recognized two people, and he already knew what the purpose of the banquet was. This damn thing is a party of princes, meeting in private!

It is estimated that there is something to discuss, but Chi Jingxi doesn't know why he brought the two outsiders. This is a complete blow to the party. With the two of them, these individuals can only gossiping and talking about trivial things.

Wen Yantong didn't hold back a glance at Chi Jingxi: What a ruthless method, do you have to deal with it like this?

Chi Jingxi smiled slightly after hearing Chi Zhongjian's words, but did not refute.

There were still two people on the table that she didn't know, but she vaguely remembered that among the few people who had a strong relationship with Cheng Yanchuan, one of them was Du Yuan, who had a higher official position, who was born by the number one scholar and was appointed by the emperor.

There is another named Jiang Musheng with the word Xuwen. It was Cheng Yanchuan's playmate in childhood, and his father was Zhongshu Shangshu, who separated power from the prime minister. Among the civil servants, he was the only official with the same weight as Fu Cheng.

If you guessed right, the two remaining people should be these two. These are Cheng Yanchuan's right-hand men.

But it was useless, because Cheng Yanchuan died early, and he didn't even have the chance to participate in the subsequent war for the throne.

According to the plot trend in the book, Cheng Xin will also sacrifice after the throne struggle begins. These people will later become Chi Jingxi's comrades, and they will be killed one by one in the war.

But at this moment, these unknowing people are all gathered on a table, talking, laughing and laughing. Wen Yantong, who knew everyone's ending, had a very strange feeling.

After a few people chatted for a while, Cheng Yanchuan saw that the atmosphere on the table was a little embarrassing, so he proposed to play a small game to adjust the atmosphere.

Wen Yantong instinctively felt a little bad. When a group of learners propose to play a game, they don't expect it to be a simple game at the level of fun. In this case, learners should choose to quit very wisely.

So she said, "I don't know how to play games, or I still..."

Cheng Yanchuan persuaded, "They are all simple games. Since you are sitting on the table, how can there be any reason not to participate?"

"That's right, before I say what game it is, you just retreat." Du Yuan, who was sitting on the side, provocatively said, "You are the person brought by Xiao Hou, so you can't break Xiao Hou's face."

Wen Yantongxin said that you don't understand at all, and it was when I joined Chi Jingxi's noodles.

She turned to look at Chi Jingxi, and said in a low voice, "Master Xiaohou, will this game be very difficult?"

Chi Jingxi turned his face to the side, "For you, what game is not that difficult?"

As a typical online bargaining talent for contemporary young people, Wen Yantong replied, "I am quite good at lifting bars."

Chi Jingxi glanced at her and didn't argue with her.

Cheng Yanchuan poured a glass of wine and said with a smile, "There are three people from Ding Liutang present today, so let's play a simpler game, lest it spread out that we are bullying people."

He put the wine glass on the table a little bit, "I said something, you come to guess, the wine glass will be extended from the right side, and whoever reaches it will describe the thing in a vague manner. If anyone can't describe it, tell the answer to the guess. If it’s right, it’s a mistake. If it’s wrong, drink up the glass of wine and continue to pass the glass."

Wen Yantong is a little worried, this is not a simple game!

Cheng Yanchuan said again, "You can't spill the wine during the delivery of the cup. Whoever spills it will drink it up, and then fill it up."

Jiang Mu grinned, "Sure, this game is good, it sounds interesting."

Several Xueba seemed to be eager to try, but Wen Yantong was shivering. She turned her head and glanced at Mu Yang. Seeing that Mu Yang was calm and calm, she was a little excited.

Wen Yantong is like shaking his shoulders crazily: Don't you worry? Aren’t you from Dingliutang? !

Cheng Yanchuan took the lead and said, "It is as light as a feather, and as heavy as a mountain." Then he gave the cup to Chi Zhongjian who was sitting on the right.

Wen Yantong looked confused. Could it be that Cheng Yanchuan was talking about a spirit?

People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather? ?

Chi Zhongjian took the cup and smiled, "There are four in one, and one in four."

Wait wait, what's this?

The cup passed to Du Yuan's hands, and he thought for a while and said, "Sometimes it is visible, sometimes it is invisible."

The more Wen Yantong listened, the more he felt like a certain spirit, but he couldn't guess what kind of spirit it was.

When he arrived at Chi Jingxi, he said, "When it is raining down the mountain, there is both heaven and earth."

As soon as these words came out, several people sighed for a while, and Chi Zhong simply said, "Xiao Xi, this is too much water, it is so obvious."

Wen Yantong: "???" Is this obvious?

Can be ruled out, not spirit.

The cup was handed over by Chi Jingxi, but Wen Yantong was still clueless, and suddenly reached out and pressed Chi Jingxi's wrist.

Chi Jingxi looked at her.

Wen Yantong said shamelessly, "I didn't hear what you said just now."

"It's raining down the mountain, there's both heaven and earth." Chi Jingxi repeated it slowly, and handed the cup to her, "take the cup."

Everyone on the table was watching her, and she had to reach out to pick up the glass. When she was about to touch it, she suddenly yelled and shouted, "I have cramps in my fingers and fingers. I can't answer them. You can pass them directly to Fu Zixian."

I'm sorry, brother.

Chi Jingxi frowned in surprise. The people at the table laughed out at the same time, knowing that Wen Yantong was playing tricks for not picking up the glass.

Mu Yang said from the side, "It's really time for you to twitch your fingers."

Wen Yantong made a strange look on his finger, "It's true, look at it, it's all chicken feet!"

Chi Jingxi was angry and said, "Then don't guess at all, just drink this glass of wine, even if you have passed it."

Wen Yantong honestly took the wine glass over, thought about it, and casually said, "It's something I don't have."

Cheng Yanchuan laughed and leaned back. Wen Yantong was unsure, and asked Fu Zixian, "Am I right?"

Fu Zixian blushed and hesitated, "I don't know if you are right or wrong."

Wen Yantong passed the wine glass to him, implying, "Surely you wouldn't say it's that difficult, would you?"

Fu Zixian took the wine glass and said, "The sunrise melts, and the moon dew freezes."

She gave it to Mu Yang, and Mu Yang said, "The cleanest and the most dirty."

Wen Yantong cursed secretly, why even Mu Yang, this silly critic, seemed to have guessed it.

Cheng Xin took the cup, "Gentle and violent, with uncertain temperament."

The last one is Jiang Musheng, he said, "Different gestures, different."

The cup fell into Cheng Yanchuan's hands again, and he smiled, "Then I will order someone to explain. If the guess is wrong, I will drink this glass of wine. If it is correct, then I will drink it."

After Cheng Yanchuan finished speaking, he clicked Wen Yantong's Mao, "Say it."

Wen Yantong was dumbfounded, and suffocated for a long time before suffocating a sentence, "Anyway, it's what I don't have."

"What are you talking about?" Mu Yang urged.

Chi Jingxi interjected slowly at this moment, "What are you so anxious about? Is it possible that you are also guessing, eager to find someone to commit the crime?"

Mu Yang was completely unaware of the trap Chi Jingxi had dug, so he jumped into the pit unsuspectingly, and said anxiously, "I guess it's not snow? When it came down, it was the cleanest and fell on the ground. Will it be the dirtiest if you step on it? Brother Xi, don't talk nonsense."

Wen Yantong immediately took the case, "It is snow or snow, I guess it is snow."

Only then did Mu Yang realize that he had been fooled, and stared, "Brother Xi, you are too much, how can you be so partial?"

Chi Jingxi curled her eyes and smiled, a pair of beautiful smiling eyes that instantly made people shine, "You said this by yourself, and I didn't ask you."

"You deliberately aroused me!" Mu Yang said.

Cheng Yanchuan passed the wine glass to Mu Yang, "You broke the rules, this glass belongs to you."

In the end, Jiang Mu said that Mu Yang was young and the family discipline was strict, so he drank it on his behalf.

Wen Yantong breathed a sigh of relief, anyhow he was fooled.

Just as a few people were about to start the next round, someone knocked on the door, and there were reports from the outside, "Master, Prime Minister Fu, Secretariat Shangshu, and other adults are asking to see you."

Wen Yantong was shocked. He looked up and saw that the faces of several people on the table changed at the same time. Obviously, he did not expect that the Prime Minister Monk would find him at this time.

Cheng Yanchuan said with a smile, "please come in quickly."

As soon as the door opened, everyone stood up and faced the door.

Several people walked into the room one after another, and the leader was Fu Zixian's father, Fu Sheng. He brought a few people to Cheng Yanchuan and gave a simple salute to Cheng Yanchuan, "The ministers have met His Royal Highness."

Cheng Yanchuan smiled like a spring breeze, "Masters don't have to be polite, I didn't expect to see a few people here."

Fu Sheng also said, "It's really a coincidence. When I just walked in, I heard that His Royal Highness was also there, so the ministers came over to see him."

Jiang Musheng and Fu Zixian bowed their heads, and shouted at the people, "Father."

Zhongshu Shangshu Jiang Wu is the father of Jiang Musheng. After seeing Jiang Musheng, his face was very ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here with His Royal Highness at this time?"

Cheng Yanchuan replied, "The emperor, Xiaoxi and Yang'er will rest tomorrow, so I want to call them out to have a meal and have fun together."

Fu Sheng said, "There are a lot of places to play in Chaoge. The Moon Tower is too deserted and not lively enough. Isn't His Royal Highness afraid of not having fun?"

He didn't even look at Fu Zixian at all, and Fu Zixian also stood aside wisely.

Cheng Yanchuan replied, "It just so happens that we are crowded and lively enough. The classmate Xiaoxi brought today is a very interesting person, and it made us laugh."

He rushed to hear Yantong and beckoned, "Come, and see you all."

Hearing Yantong's understanding, he limped forward and said, "I have seen all the adults, and the grassroots have seen all the pillars of the imperial court today. It is really fortunate for Sansheng to go back tonight. I am so happy that I can't sleep all night."

Several high-ranking officials knew her identity as soon as she heard that she called herself a Caomin. Jiang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed a lot, and smiled, "Master Xiao Hou, this classmate is a sweet-mouthed child."

Fu Sheng's face was stinky, and he didn't say any more. After a casual greeting or two with Cheng Yanchuan, he left. Before leaving, Jiang Wu patted Jiang Musheng on the shoulder, "Go home early, don't play too late."

After the few people left, the rest of them all smiled without speaking, and slowly returned to their seats.

The appearance of Fu Sheng and Jiang Wu made everyone at the table understand Chi Jingxi's intention to bring the two of them today.

Originally Wen Yantong only thought that he was simply trying to mess up this secret meeting, but Chi Jingxi is Chi Jingxi after all, and he will not do such boring things.

He probably knew it in advance, or noticed Fu Sheng's movements, and brought Wen Yantong and Fu Zixian on the way to the party. Let the party go on normally, and then attracted Fu Sheng and others, but when they entered the door, there was still a commoner inside, so the prince's case for forming a party for private purposes was not settled.

Fu Sheng also ran for nothing. He also called Jiang Wu and others. Cheng Yanchuan thought that these people would testify, but Cheng Yanchuan was indisputable, but he didn't expect it to be a bamboo basket to fetch water.

The intrigue above the court, just opened a corner in this understatement of calm, let Wen Yantong get a glimpse of it.

It was also because of the presence of Yantong and Fu Zixian that several of them were not easy to talk clearly, so after a few chattering, the banquet broke off.

After leaving the Shuoyue Tower, Wen Yantong tremblingly saluted the prince and the others, and finally got on Chi Jingxi's carriage and returned to the academy.

Early the next morning, Wen Yantong went to Zhao Yu and told him that Feng Chuzi was the murderer. When Zhao Yu heard that there was some truth, he immediately informed Sun Qi, and then sent someone to investigate.

It happened that Old Feng didn't return to the academy last night among the nephrite jade in Qin Mo Building, missing a bit of Mao. After Sun Kui found out the clues, he sent someone to find a box of white and flowery silver ingots from his room, and then preliminarily convicted Feng Chuzi.

This box of silver ingots was hidden by Wen Yantong.

Chef Feng was arrested immediately after returning to the academy. After a torture, he was all recruited. He admitted that he killed the chicken himself, so he was confiscated and sent to the government.

But Chef Feng didn't confess Wu Yutian. He was not a fool. Even if he was sent to the government, he was only charged with killing a chicken. But if Wu Yutian was confessed, even a mere seven-rank official would be enough to kill him in prison.

Wen Yantong also didn't tell the master about Wu Yutian. The crime of killing a chicken is impossible to completely bring down Wu Yutian, and at most he will be severely punished by the college. But what Wen Yantong wants is to drive him out of the academy completely, so that he doesn't have to be secretly framed by him again.

She collected the bank note, and began to figure out what crimes would cause a seventh-rank official's son to be expelled from the college and be cast aside.

After the fact that there were no lazy chickens came to the ground, no one in the academy was talking about Wen Yantong's right or wrong. Every morning, literature and afternoon martial arts classes were suspended when it snowed. After ten days or so, new news came from the academy.

Wen Yantong felt very lively early in the morning, as if everyone was very excited, constantly discussing something. But she didn't know what she was talking about.

She sat and waited for a while. After morning class, Fu Zixian and Mu Yang stepped into the academy at the same time. She couldn't wait to ask, "Do you think the academy is particularly lively today?"

Fu Zixian rubbed frozen red hands and said with a sigh of relief, "Perhaps it's because the Snow Festival is coming."

"Snow Festival?" Wen Yantong was surprised, "Is it so fast?"

The Snow Sweeping Festival is a unique festival of Songhai Academy. Every winter, before the New Year, students of Songhai Academy are assigned to sweep snow at the temple outside Chaoge City, to remove the old and welcome the new, and to pray for the coming of the New Year.

There are four main roads outside Chaoge City, which are in the four directions of Zhengdong, Zhengxi, Zhengnan, and Zhengbei. There is a temple for Buddha beside each road, which is called "Four Seas and Peace".

Fu Zixian said, "Every snow sweeping day is allocated by officials of the Ministry of Courtesy. It is said that after the increase of female students this time, everyone will decide to go to the temple for snow sweeping by drawing lots. I really hope not to go. Nian An Temple."

The Nian'an Temple in his mouth is the "four" among the four temples. This temple is the least popular among the four temples, and there are very few incenses on weekdays. It is said that it was because a pregnant woman went to the temple to beg. The husband was able to return safely when he went out for business. As a result, her husband met a robber on the road, separated from his head, and died miserably.

This woman may have been mentally abnormal after being stimulated, and felt that it was the fault of the gods and Buddhas in the temple, so in order to retaliate, she was hanged in front of the gods in a dark night.

After the news spread, many people were afraid to go to the temple again. don't know if someone deliberately wanted to ruin the reputation of the temple. Later, three people also committed suicide in the temple. How to sneak in is still a stery.

Since then, few people have visited Nian'an Temple again, and it is rumored that there are women and children crying at night, so it is also called a ghost temple.

The emperor wanted to demolish the temple and rebuild it, but the national teacher did not let it. He said that it would be better if the temple was defeated. As long as the incense kept burning, it was placed in the Feng Shui that could suppress the song of the Chao Dynasty. It still offers incense at this point.

Wen Yantong doesn't care about those. What she cares about is that this snow sweeping is a point of advancement, and several important figures in the book will be selected to read An Temple.

The relationship between Chi Jingxi and Fu Tanghuan, the heroine in the book, began to sprout after this incident.
