Why marry someone when you are reborn?

On the day when Xu Yun was going to participate in the collection of essays, he specially asked for leave the day before, and got up early that day to take a bath and change clothes.

It's not that she's picky.

It's that these scholars pay attention to it - no matter if they are from aristocratic families or poor families, as long as they are scholars, they pay the most attention to these things. Character and manners are more important than life!

Even if Xu Yun didn't think so, if he wanted to blend into that environment, he couldn't think of going against others.

Xu Yun used an ordinary wooden hairpin to tie up her hair into a most fairy-like bun. The loose parts of her hair were also combed neatly. She then put on a wide-sleeved robe. Even though it was made of fine linen, she looked like a scholar.

Xie Wanqing looked it up and down several times, and then put an exquisite jade hairpin on Xu Yun.

This time, it feels like the finishing touch.

Xie Wanqing took a step back and nodded with satisfaction.

Hongyu immediately praised: "Our young lady is so pretty, she is one of the prettiest in the city of Beiping!"

Xu Yun raised his sleeves, afraid to face anyone because of Hongyu's exaggerated words.

However, then Xu Yun set off.

When he went out, he met Luo Zhan, who was riding a horse. When he saw Xu Yun dressed like this, he was shocked and almost dropped the pancake in his mouth.

He had never seen Xu Yun like this before.

It's not amazing, just pure shock.

Then Xu Yun heard Luo Zhan ask, "Are you going to meet your lover?"

Xu Yun: ...I suddenly felt disgusted with this face. How could such a pretty mouth say such ugly words?

So Xu Yun bowed solemnly and said, "I am just attending a gathering of scholars. Scholars naturally pay attention to their manners."

Then he gave Luo Zhan a look that said "you reckless people don't understand", letting him figure it out on his own, and then he went to get in the car leisurely.

When he arrived at the place, Zhao Mu was not surprised to see Xu Yun. He tugged at the clothes on his body that he only wore to gatherings, and once again felt delighted that "she and I are so similar."

Zhao Mu and Xu Yun went in together, paid for their tea and snacks, and then sat down in two adjacent seats.

When people who were familiar with Zhao Mu saw him coming, they came over to greet him. Seeing the unfamiliar Xu Yun, they couldn't help but be curious: "Who is this——"

Xu Yun took the initiative to greet him and introduced himself with a smile: "My surname is Xu, my given name is Yun, and I come from the Xu family of Wu County."

Others also introduced themselves, but no one mentioned Xu Yun's gender.

Of course, not saying anything is one thing, but what others think in their hearts is another.

In the end, no one stayed to sit and talk with them. After a few polite words, they all went to talk to others.

Zhao Mu looked at Xu Yun awkwardly, a little worried that Xu Yun would feel uncomfortable because of this.

But Xu Yun didn't look unhappy at all. Instead, he was still looking around with great interest, very curious and very contented.

Feeling Zhao Mu's gaze, Xu Yun retracted his gaze and smiled at Zhao Mu: "If you want to go talk to others, don't worry about me. I'll just sit here and watch."

Zhao Mu suddenly felt proud: "I'm here with you!"

So Xu Yun continued to look around, and Zhao Mu sat next to him, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Until a scholar named Zeng from a wealthy family came over and looked at Xu Yun and Zhao Mu curiously: "Has this young lady also studied?"

Zhao Mu quickly introduced: "I've read it! Miss Xu is amazing! She has a lot of books at home! She even lent me a book for free before!"

Zhao Mu's voice was loud because of his excitement.

In addition to the person in front of him, several other people were also attracted.

The words "large collection of books" are as attractive to fish as bait.

The scholar surnamed Zeng continued to smile and introduced himself: "My surname is Zeng, and my given name is Wuji. I have a collection of books at home. If there are any that you two haven't read, you can come and have a look."

When he said come and see, he meant you can see it at his house but you can't take it away.

Nowadays, most people have this attitude towards books. Not only are they very cautious when borrowing books, but even if they want to copy a book, they must ask the owner for his or her opinion. If the owner disagrees, then it won't work.

Books are wealth. Owning a unique copy is even greater wealth.

Xu Yun thought: I am pretty rich...

She smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have some books in my collection, and I want to exchange some books that I haven't read. Let's borrow from each other."

Zeng Wu Ji was deeply moved.

Not only him, many other people present were also moved.

But some people also doubt whether Xu Yun has the ability to do so.

Xu Yun accepted these stares calmly, always smiling gently, showing the style of a scholar.

Zeng Wuji's family was not short of money, but he did not have that many books, because many of them were not sold outside.

Especially the top books, which would only circulate among the nobles. Others would not even have the chance to take a look at the book cover!

Zeng Wuji wanted to make friends with Xu Yun, so he took the initiative to find topics to talk to him.

Xu Yun was naturally happy, and for a moment the atmosphere became unprecedentedly harmonious and lively.

Zhao Mu almost felt like he couldn't get a word in, but he didn't feel unhappy or lost about his friend being taken away. He just listened happily and tried hard to join in from time to time.

Just like that, we have arrived at one of the important parts of the literary gathering.

Since it is a gathering of literati, it is inevitable to write poetry or discuss current affairs.

Now, the city of Peking is undergoing massive construction, so naturally there are many things worth discussing.

Someone brought up the most discussed issue at the moment: "Before, the Spark Army was jointly decided by the two generals. Now that the capital has been established, I think General Zhou is the well-deserved king, and General Jiang is the queen. Will the king allow the queen to continue to lead the government together?"

This issue is indeed the most worthy thing to discuss at the moment.

At that moment, everyone spoke one after another, and some of them were so passionate that Xu Yun could even see the saliva flying.

She couldn't help but want to raise her sleeves to cover her face.

In fact, there are only two views on this matter, one is to allow it and the other is not to allow it.

Each concept had its supporters, and each group had its own arguments, but they soon came into conflict and almost quarreled with each other.

None of the three of Xu Yun said anything, but seeing that the two groups were about to fight, Zhao Mu couldn't help but ask Xu Yun: "What do you think?"

Zeng Wuji also looked at Xu Yun.

Xu Yun was being stared at by the two men and actually didn't want to talk much.

In this kind of situation, she felt that if she spoke too much, it would easily cause trouble. She didn't want to be attacked by everyone or attract other people's attention.

But Zhao Mu spoke up...Xu Yun finally spoke softly: "Don't you think that the two generals are not ordinary people?"

So, can we not use common sense to infer?

Xu Yun only said this one sentence. He didn't say anything else.

But Xu Yun's words made Zhao Mu and Zeng Wuji fall into deep thought.

The others in the distance were still arguing fiercely, but at this moment, they seemed to be so far away that Zhao Mu and Zeng Wuji could not hear them at all.

As for Xu Yun, the instigator, he went back to happily listen to other people's debates, without realizing what he had done.

After a long while, Zeng Wuji suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "It's really wonderful! Wonderful! A word awakens the dreamer! A word awakens the dreamer! Xu Yun, you really have a pair of good eyes!"

His mouth was not small to begin with, and now he was laughing with his mouth wide open, making Xu Yun feel like he could almost see his throat - his back teeth were also clearly visible.

Although Zhao Mu was startled, he was also excited. Looking at Xu Yun, he looked like he wanted to talk crazily but didn't know where to start.

This crazy scene naturally attracted the attention of others.

The corners of Xu Yun's mouth twitched, and for a moment, he wanted to stay away from the two of them: Don't come over here, don't look at me!

She doesn't want to be famous.

But things backfired.
