Chongren Square seemed to be isolated in a quiet part of Chang 'an. There were many oil paper lanterns hanging at the corners of the pavilion-like buildings, all of which were orange. Except for the Royal Palace, Chongren Square was the most brightly lit in Chang' an.
Curfews existed in ancient dynasties. Most of the ancients worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. It was a convention for many people, even in times of peace and prosperity.
The curfew of the Tang Dynasty started at the second watch. In the modern world where Bai Yu lived, it was from nine to eleven o'clock. As for places like Chongren Square, the curfew did not restrict it too much. To put it nicely, this was a place where celebrities gathered and communicated. Even if it was already curfew, these dignitaries could stay here temporarily. His size was extraordinary.
It was just past midnight, and there was still a lot of time before the curfew. The sky was gradually darkening. Many people were sitting on benches on the streets after dinner, or leaning on the windowsills at home. The capital was too far away for them, but they could admire the bright orange light of Chongren Square. This gorgeous light was a kind of desire, or perhaps a kind of hope.
The lights and the faint moonlight mixed together, and the people on the street did not know what had happened in Chongren Square tonight.
A series of exclamations reverberated in Chongren Lane, but it soon returned to silence. Other than the sound of light footsteps, there was no other sound.
Bai Yu walked step by step towards He Zhizhang, who had called out to him earlier. His sixteen-year-old body wasn't considered tall and straight, but when compared to his imposing appearance, he was simply more imposing. As the commander of the Nine Gates, his domineering side was revealed. Rather than calling it a threat, it was more like a kind of confidence.
"What a complicated praise!" It was naturally a joy to be praised. Bai Yu's overbearing manner seemed to be pressuring, but the people in the hall had such expressions. Perhaps it was because they had heard that the admiral was like this. They were used to it by word of mouth.
The purple girl upstairs smiled and admired her master's performance. On the other side, Li Lizhi pouted, but because of this good couplet, she waved her hand and cheered on herself. This gesture was also taught to her by Bai Yu.
He Zhizhang and the other two beauties were both stunned, but they immediately replied with a chuckle,""So it's the admiral. To show off in front of an expert like the admiral, I'm really ashamed!”
Bai Yu didn't respond to his praise. Instead, he smiled mockingly, as if he didn't care about the world."So, did my couplet pass?”
"Of course, but?" He Zhizhang seemed to be in a difficult position, as if he wanted to ask for something. Bai Yu looked straight at him and didn't move his mouth, waiting for him to continue.
This gaze was strange and terrifying. It was no wonder. As the Nine Gates Inspector, he had done too many bloody things in the past. The sharpness in his eyes was not something that any random person could withstand!
He Zhizhang's expression was a little difficult, but before he could speak, Gongsun Ruji took a step forward. There was a slight fluctuation in her eyes, but her voice was calm."Since the Four Absolutes have gathered, I would like to ask Young Master to show me that peerless cursive script!”
It was quiet all around. Rumor had it that the admiral would never do it again easily. The last time he had done so was in front of the current emperor, the former king of Qin, Li Shimin. For Gongsun Ruji, one of the Four Unique, to make such a request was a little too hasty in the eyes of others!
Then Gongsun Ruji added,"If I can get the book you wrote, I'm willing to have a long talk with you!"”
His words caused an uproar!
Bai Yu just smiled, looked around, and said loudly,""Tonight is the night of the gathering at Chongren Square. If you are so nervous because of the arrival, how can you be worthy of this beautiful wine! I think everyone has heard of the saying,'If you don't do anything wrong, you're not afraid of the Jinyiwei.' Today, I'll meet you with the four treasures of the study. How can you say the word 'wrong'?”
Although these words were still extremely domineering, it made the others feel as if they had been pardoned. Some bold people even raised their glasses to toast Bai Yu.
After adjusting the atmosphere, he turned to Gongsun Ruji and said,""Since Young Lady is like this, then this admiral will not stand on ceremony! Men, bring the four treasures!"
Everyone looked at this place in surprise. Among the Four Absolutes, Admiral Bai Yu hid the deepest and only made a few moves.
"Coming!" A stunning girl from Chongren Square was about to walk over with a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone when she was stopped by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Azure Dragon, who suddenly appeared.
The woman looked at the scene in front of her with trepidation. What a joke. Bai Yu's subordinates would not let outsiders approach without permission. This was the loyalty of the Brocade Guard.
Besides, as an admiral, how could he not have better Four Treasures of the Study? Just as Azure Dragon stopped the woman, a woman walked down from the VIP building where White Feather was. She was also holding the Four Treasures of the Study. It was Lou Lan. Her beauty completely surpassed that of the woman. How could a woman from Purple Orchid Pavilion not be beautiful?
Although she wasn't comparable to Gongsun Ruji and Qin Shuang, a maidservant like her was enough to make others envious!
Lou Lan walked to White Feather's side with a smile and bowed slightly. A high-quality Guandong Liao Wei hard brush was gently placed on the jade pen holder. This kind of brush was strong and suited White Feather's domineering style. Coupled with the cursive style, White Feather had always liked to use this kind of brush.
A piece of half-cooked Xuan paper was placed on the table. Xuan paper was a very precious thing since the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the paper in Bai Yu's hand was personally produced by Li Shiming. It could be said to be a treasure given by the emperor. A few knowledgeable people were secretly amazed!
A Duan inkstone once again amazed everyone's eyes. This black inkstone was made of a rare stone. It was solid, smooth, and delicate. When one pressed the inkstone's heart with one's hand, the inkstone's heart was blue and dark green. The water vapor did not dry for a long time, so there was a saying that it was used to grind ink. This Duan inkstone was specially found by Bai Yu after he exchanged for a famous cursive script. As a top scholar in liberal arts, he had a deep understanding of inkstones. This type of Duan inkstone was known as the four famous inkstones in the future!
As the saying goes: Duanxi ancient inkstone world strange, purple flowers in the middle of the night spit rainbow.
Lou Lan held a pine smoke ink stick that had been passed down from the Han Dynasty and gently rubbed the ink on the inkstone. He seemed to be a very proficient person in this field and did not disgrace the four treasures in his hands.
Violet Maiden was after all an intelligence agent, and White Feather had the idea of hiding a mistress in his golden house, so he naturally didn't let her out. However, Lou Lan had also made him look askance. This was the first time he had asked Lou Lan to deal with the Four Treasures of the Study, and he didn't expect them to be so compatible.
He thought that he would let this girl help him manage these things in the future. After all, he couldn't leave everything to his Sister Violet Girl!
This scene was really enviable. If there were such a treasure and such a beauty, many people would probably wake up laughing in their dreams.
After the grinding, Bai Yu lifted the brush. His movements were smooth and natural. The feeling of 'accidentally getting it' still rose, and his entire temperament changed slightly!
