"Young Master Qin, I hope you can forgive me for offending you previously! I apologize to you here. Please don't take it to heart.”Liu Shaoshi bent his back and apologized to Qin Fang apologetically.
In fact, Liu Shaoshi was just a good-for-nothing. He usually drank tea, strolled around, and fought cocks. He did not really do anything to bully people. If his horse really kicked someone that day, he would still compensate them properly so that his father would not cripple him. The conflict with Xue Rengui was purely because his beloved horse was injured. He felt sorry for it, so he was angry and did not let Xue Rengui off.
"Instead of apologizing to me, why don't you apologize to Rengui? As long as Rengui accepts it, I'll forgive you.”Qin Fang said lightly.
Qin Fang didn't directly say whether he would forgive or not. Instead, he asked him to apologize to Xue Rengui.
When Xue Rengui heard that Qin Fang wanted Liu Shaoshi to apologize to him, he couldn't help but feel touched. Although he was only a guard in the Qin Manor, Qin Fang had never treated him as a servant. Instead, he treated him as a friend or even a family member.
Just the fact that Qin Fang had reminded the cook to cook for Mother Xue with less oil and salt and to make warm meals for her was enough to move Xue Rengui.
When Liu Shaoshi heard Qin Fang say that he would apologize to Xue Rengui, he did not show any displeasure. The scene of Xue Rengui capturing Hu Ma with one arm made him admire Xue Rengui. Therefore, he felt that apologizing to Xue Rengui was not shameful, although it was a little embarrassing for him to apologize to a guard. But what was face? Was it edible? If he could cling onto Qin Fang's thigh, he would have no problem kneeling down and apologizing to Xue Rengui.
"Brother Rengui, before this, we would have become friends if we had not fought. Your ability to single-handedly capture a Hu horse has made me admire you very much, so I had the idea of recruiting you. It's just that my words were a little too extreme and it was a little unpleasant. I hope Brother Rengui will not blame me and forgive my recklessness.”Liu Shaoshi turned around and bowed 90 degrees to apologize to Xue Rengui.
"Who are these people? They actually made Liu Shaoshi apologize.”
"Liu Shaoshi has lost a lot of face this time. He actually apologized to a guard. In the future, it will be difficult for him to raise his head in the Beijing circle.”
"This Liu Shaoshi is usually arrogant and despotic. Finally, someone can teach him a lesson.”
……
Liu Shaoshi did not get angry when he heard the whispers of the onlookers. Instead, he bent down even more. He had the thought that if he did not forgive him, he would not get up. Now, he only wanted to hug Qin Fang's thigh.
"Liu Shaoshi, I will forgive you this time. In the future, don't let your horses run wild in the capital. If you hurt the people, that won't be good.”Xue Rengui didn't want to forgive Liu Shaoshi so easily. After all, Liu Shaoshi had been aggressive to him back then. However, after thinking about it, the two of them didn't have any deep hatred. He temporarily forgave Liu Shaoshi based on the principle that it was better to have one less enemy than one more enemy.
"Haha, thank you for your forgiveness, Brother Ren. I won't do anything bad in the future.”
"Although I, Liu Shaoshi, am just a useless playboy, I am still familiar with Chang 'an. If you need my help in the future, feel free to ask.”After Xue Rengui forgave him, Liu Shaoshi suddenly felt much more relaxed and said happily.
"Xue Rengui is indeed the War God of the Great Tang in history.”Qin Fang silently praised Xue Rengui's magnanimity in his heart. If this matter were to happen to an ordinary person, they would at least have to control Liu Shaoshi.
As for Liu Shaoshi saying that he could look for him if there was anything in the future, Qin Fang only nodded slightly and did not take it to heart.
Wei Qingrou didn't understand what was going on between them. She just watched from the side. However, seeing that their grudges had been resolved, she didn't say anything.
Seeing that it was almost time, Wei Qingrou said to Qin Fang,""Young Master Qin, the Garden Poetry Festival is about to begin. Why don't we go now?”
"Alright, let's go then." Qin Fang nodded.
They followed Wei Qingrou to the Purple Bamboo Plum Garden in the north of Chang 'an City.
Seeing that Qin Fang and the others were going to the garden poetry party today, Liu Shaoshi wanted to go with Qin Fang. However, the relationship between the two sides had just eased, so it was a little awkward to mention it rashly. After Qin Fang and the others left, Liu Shaoshi also went to the Purple Bamboo Plum Garden with a few followers.
The Purple Bamboo Plum Garden was a relatively large garden in the Tang Empire. It was filled with purple bamboos and plum blossoms. When the plum blossoms bloomed in winter, the plum blossoms and the purple bamboo forest complemented each other, creating a unique charm. It was also a place where scholars often gathered.
At this moment, many people had already gathered in the Purple Bamboo Plum Garden.
"How strange. I don't know why Princess Xiang Cheng asked us not to expose her identity.”
"That's right. In the past, there were very few princesses who participated in the poetry meet. Why is the princess of Xiang City here this year?”
"Aiya, don't worry about it. Perhaps Princess Xiang Cheng just doesn't want others to pay too much attention to her.”
A few people who knew Princess Xiang Cheng whispered to each other.
Princess Xiang Cheng was Li Shimin's eldest daughter. Because her birth mother was not the Empress, few people paid attention to her. Only the descendants of the five surnames, Seven Wangs, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Zhangsun Wuji, and the other leaders of the Tang Empire knew her.
Therefore, it was very simple to hide the identity of Princess Xiang Cheng. She only needed to tell those who knew her.
"Young Master Qin, the Purple Bamboo Plum Garden is just ahead.”Wei Qingrou and Qin Fang walked side by side, attracting the attention of passersby from time to time.
Qin Fang was indifferent to these gazes. Others could look at him however they liked.
However, Wei Qingrou was different. Her face was flushed red. She had never walked side by side with a man like this before. Seeing that Qin Fang did not care about the gazes of the passersby, Wei Qingrou slowly relaxed.
The few of them walked to the courtyard at the side. There was a group of scholars and poets there, as well as some women. They were dressed very luxuriously.
There were pavilions and pavilions with purple bamboo and plum blossoms. It was very elegant and quiet.
Qin Fang walked over and saw a group of scholars composing poems.
The woman presided over the banquet and played with the winding water of the flowing wine cup.
More than ten scholars sat beside the winding stream. The woman who presided over the event placed plum blossoms on the upper reaches of the stream and let them flow down. Whoever saw the plum blossoms would compose a poem, which was called "Flowing Winding Stream".
Qin Fang listened for a while, shook his head and smiled."These people don't know anything. It's fine if you don't want to listen. Let's go somewhere else.”
Wei Qingrou was surprised." Young Master Qin, it can't be. These people are famous scholars in Chang 'an. Why do you say they don't know anything?"”
These people could indeed be regarded as the outstanding talents of the younger generation in the literary world of Chang 'an, but they knew that it was only temporary.
Qin Fang only recognized Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi as poets of the Tang Empire…
Compared to these great poets who had been passed down for generations, Qin Fang was already being polite by not calling these people trash.
A passing courtesan heard this and snorted coldly," Young Master, you're so arrogant. The best scholars in Chang 'an are gathered here. How dare you say that our poems are nonsense?"”
When the other scholars heard the commotion, they gradually came over, including Princess Xiang Cheng.
He looked at Wei Qingrou who was standing beside Qin Fang and Qin Fang's natural and unrestrained temperament.
Princess Xiang Cheng concluded that this man was the person Li Shi Min had asked him to get in touch with.
When they heard Qin Fang say that their poems were nonsense, the surrounding scholars were instantly furious.
Scholars were thin-skinned and cared about their reputation.
A group of prostitutes surrounded Qin Fangwei, looking as if they wouldn't let him go if he didn't apologize.
