The emperor, empress and the eldest princess disguised themselves and left the palace to head to Zhengnan Street.
It was a day when the government offices were closed. According to the portrait, Lan Heling spent his free time at the Fulin Poetry and Painting Society on Zhengnan Street.
The Fulin Poetry Society was founded by Lan Heling. It is a place specifically for literati who love poetry and painting to recite poems and paint together.
You can join this poetry club for free, but if you want to become a member, you must create a good poem or a good painting.
The most important thing is that the Poetry and Painting Society does not consider family background or wealth, but only talent.
Therefore, there are many poor literati in this poetry society, and most of them can get help from the Lan family, such as helping them publish books for free, so that they can make a living with poetry and painting.
In modern terms, this poetry society is a public welfare organization founded by Lan Heling.
From this we can see that Lan Heling is a kind-hearted person.
Such a man will definitely treat his wife well.
Yu Jinshu dressed up as a man and even stuck a beard under his nose, so no one could recognize him.
Feng Yu even had a beard sticking close to his chin and his eyebrows were drawn thicker, making him look a lot more rugged. He met a few acquaintances on the road, but no one noticed.
Feng Chan rarely appeared in public, so she did not disguise herself. She just dressed simply, like a girl in the boudoir.
When they arrived at the door of Fulin Poetry Society, the little servant boy guarding the door stopped them.
The book boy bowed to them politely and respectfully: "If you want to join the Fulin Poetry Society, you must recite poetry and paint, or write an article."
"I'll go first." Yu Jinshu stepped forward and went to the desk in front of the door. He picked up the brush that had been prepared long ago, dipped it in ink, and wrote a poem by Nalan Xingde called "Huatangchun" on the white paper: A pair for a lifetime.
As she wrote, she silently said to herself: Brother Nalan, don’t blame me for using your poem a century in advance!
Feng Yu looked at the poem with a look of amazement and recited it silently: "A lifetime, a generation, a pair, yet they strive to be apart. Longing for each other, yet unable to meet, for whom does the spring come? It's easy to beg for water at the Blue Bridge, but it's hard to run to the blue sea. If only I could visit you and drink at Oxford, we'd forget our poverty when we were together."
Feng Chan can also write poetry. Looking at this poem, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law..." Suddenly remembering that her sister-in-law was in disguise, she quickly changed her words, "Second brother, this poem is amazing."
Feng Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have such talent."
Yu Jinshu looked at Feng Yu with embarrassment and smiled. She was plagiarizing, okay? But she couldn't say it!
The book boy's eyes widened as he looked at it. He carefully picked up the poem written by Yu Jinshu and handed it to another book boy beside him, asking him to invite the teacher.
Lan Heling was called Mr. Lan in the poetry society.
The servant spread out another piece of white paper.
Feng Chan was well versed in music. She remembered that she had composed a piece of music before and later wrote lyrics for it, so she wrote the lyrics and sang them while she wrote.
At this time, a handsome young man in a gray brocade robe walked out of the poetry club.
Feng Chan was writing lyrics and reciting them with her head down, very focused. After she finished singing the last word, she put the brush on the pen holder and raised her head. Looking at the young man in front of her, she thought of Lan Heling's portrait and her face turned red instantly.
Lan Heling looked at Feng Chan, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "Excellent, wonderful, wonderful... Miss, not only did you write a beautiful lyric, but you also sing beautifully. I wonder who composed this piece of music."
Feng Chan blushed and said, "I made it up myself."
Lan Heling opened his eyes wide and looked at Feng Chan with admiration.
Feng Yu said, "It's my turn."
The servant hurriedly took the lyrics written by Feng Chan, and another servant spread out a new piece of white paper.
Feng Yu picked up his brush and started painting.
Lan Heling looked at Feng Yu's painting and just as he drew a face, he said, "Is this the girl you are painting?" He glanced at Feng Chan.
On the way here, Feng Yu said that he wanted to paint Yu Jinshu, but Yu Jinshu said that they came for Feng Chan's wedding, so if they were to paint, they must paint Feng Chan.
In order to avoid disaster, Feng Yu has been painting pictures of beauties at home every day over the years, and he has become a master at it.
With just a few strokes, Feng Chan was painted vividly and beautifully.
Lan Heling looked at the painting and then glanced at Feng Chan's shy face.
The two looked into each other's eyes, Feng Chan expressed her feelings with her eyebrows, and then hurriedly avoided his gaze.
Lan Heling felt that this girl was both talented and lovely.
After Feng Chan's portrait was finished, Lan Heling praised it again and again.
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "Mr. Lan, can we join the poetry club now?"
Lan Heling bowed to the three of them and said, "I am deeply impressed by your talents."
He stood up, stepped aside, and extended his hand, "Please, three of you!"
The poetry club was simple and elegant, with works written and painted by poets and painters hung everywhere. Yu Jinshu gained some knowledge there.
After strolling for a while, Yu Jinshu suddenly said, "Oh! I remembered I have an urgent matter to attend to."
Feng Yu said, "I'll go with you."
Yu Jinshu said, "Of course you have to accompany me."
Feng Chan hurriedly asked, "What about me?" She had just arrived and had just fallen in love with Lan Heling, and she didn't want to leave now.
Yu Jinshu said, "It's not a good place for women to go. You can stay here for a while. I'll come pick you up after your elder brother and I finish our business."
She bowed to Lan Heling and said, "Mr. Lan, my sister rarely goes out. This time, we finally brought her out to relax, but unexpectedly, we had something urgent to deal with."
Lan Heling smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your sister."
Yu Jinshu hurriedly pulled Feng Yu away, leaving Feng Chan and Lan Heling alone.
After leaving Fulin Poetry and Painting Society, the two went to a restaurant and ordered some signature dishes.
Unfortunately, sitting at the table next to them were Zhu Jiangnan, Yan Fengyang, Mo Ruoli, and Yingge.
The four of them did not recognize Feng Yu and Yu Jinshu, and didn't even look at them.
Yu Jinshu ate meat and drank wine while watching them and listening to them talk.
"Miss Yingge finally has a home and doesn't have to stay in Baihua Tower anymore." Zhu Jiangnan looked at Yingge and Mo Ruoli with a smile.
Yan Fengyang raised his glass and said, "Ruoli, you must be kind to Miss Yingge from now on. She was sold to Baihua Tower when she was young and suffered a lot. Now she has finally found happiness after all the hardships. You must not let her down."
Noila Mo picked up the wine glass: “I have admired Yingge for a long time. At the beginning, I always thought that Prince Liang, no…” He whispered three words, “It was the emperor. I thought he liked Yingge, so I didn’t dare to confess to Yingge.”
He looked at Yingge tenderly, "Yingge and I are together now, but it's a pity that Yingge can't be the main wife."
Yingge hurriedly said, "Sir, I am lucky to be your concubine. I have no complaints."
The Mo family is a prominent family, and it is already the best thing for her to become the concubine of the legitimate prince.
Yu Jinshu listened to what they said and turned to look at Feng Yu, but saw that he was only busy eating a few side dishes on the table.
He had been tired of eating the dishes in the palace these days, and these folk dishes were appetizing and nostalgic.
But just when he was enjoying his meal, a strong wind suddenly blew over.
