Regarding the matter of Li Shishi, it was ultimately decided that a spring outing would be held in the suburbs of Jiangning City two days before the Qingming Festival.

The gathering was nominally not hosted by Li Shishi, but initiated by a great Confucian scholar in Jiangning named Chen Luoyuan, who invited a group of talented scholars and beautiful ladies to Jiangning to enjoy a spring outing, sing songs, and express their ambitions. It is said that Chen Luoyuan is a friend of Zhou Bangyan, a great talent from the capital, and therefore found Li Shishi through this relationship.

That's the story, but the underlying reasons are hard to say. In any case, as the first debut of Li Shishi, the most famous courtesan in the capital, in Jiangning, the invitation for this spring outing attracted considerable attention in Jiangning. Qin Shaohe moved quickly. Two days after talking with Ning Yi, the news was announced and he obtained several invitation cards. However, at this time, Ning Yi had also received the first invitation from Pu Yangyi.

Ning Yi intends to participate in this gathering. The main reason is not because of other people's invitations, but because, under the influence of Yun Zhu, he has also developed a lot of interest in the music of this era. Since that classmate Li Shishi can leave her name in the annals of time, her artistic skills in this area must be quite outstanding. It's worth joining in the fun. In this era, good songs can only be heard once at the right time, which is indeed quite boring sometimes.

Such invitations usually allow you to bring friends or family members. Ning Yi, with the mood of going to a concert, invited Su Tan'er to go with him, but recently Su Tan'er has been arranging things for going to Hangzhou in the summer. It’s not that she can’t spare the time, but she shook her head and refused. Because of this, they had a conversation while chatting on the second-floor corridor.

"These kinds of gatherings are all for talented scholars to show off in front of those unmarried girls. What's the point of the husband planning to bring a hag?"

"You're calling yourself a hag at this time? Aren't you ashamed?"

"I'm not ashamed... Husband, let's think about it this way. If you take your concubine with you to the spring outing, when our Miss Qilan, Miss Luo Miaomiao, and Miss Li Shishi are showing their favor to you in the crowd, will you still be able to write poems for them?"

Ning Yi looked at her for a long time, then reached out and put his arm around her shoulders and laughed: "Just bring a normal heart, wife. We'll just go and listen to singing and dancing. If Pu Yangyi really wants me to write a poem for him, I'll secretly give it to him, and the rest can go to hell."

"Eh, I don't want to." Su Tan'er shook her head and smiled, "What's the point of singing and dancing? Husband doesn't know, your concubine has recently liked chatting with the daughters and wives of those shopkeepers. I just like listening to them talk about your husband's poetry and lyrics, and I can show off. I used to hear them talk about the affairs of Cao Guan and Li Pin, and I always thought, wow, they are really amazing. Now I like to chat with others about these things. I talk about Cao Guan and those people, and then those gossipy women will say that your husband is no worse than them, and some even say, what are they? I will pretend to be very humble and say: 'My husband doesn't really like doing these things, he only occasionally writes a few poems and lyrics.' But I'm happy in my heart."

She pursed her lips, proudly clapped her hands, and was content, but she refused to go with him no matter what. Ning Yi also knew that this was the norm. These kinds of poetry gatherings are actually used by talented scholars to make a name for themselves, and this kind of fame is associated with imperial examinations for most people. If there are really family members present, how many people can truly be romantic and unrestrained, and write good poetry?

Although Ning Yi's situation is different, Su Tan'er knows the situation at such gatherings. If she went, it would only be a buzzkill.

In fact, they had already had two outings this spring. Ning Yi mixed spices and took food to set up a barbecue in the wild, showing off his skills. Su Tan'er got angry at the time and said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, saying that this was a woman's business. She bared her teeth and claws to grab the things in Ning Yi's hands. The two wrestled for a while, and Su Tan'er was pinned to the ground by Ning Yi, blushing with embarrassment. After all, doing this kind of thing in the wild was a little too bold. As a result, Ning Yi forced her to say "I dare not" before he was willing to let her go. Fortunately, the place they chose was quiet and deserted, and no one saw them.

Later, Chan'er and others, their faces red, also came over to make food together. Su Tan'er was initially sulky and refused to eat anything Ning Yi made. Later, she ate some, and although the skills were about the same, she ultimately felt that what her husband grilled had a special flavor. Now, in her heart, this kind of spring outing is what she calls a spring outing, and she definitely wants to go. As for those poetry gatherings, her husband can show off, and the rest are backstabbing each other and acting. She sees enough of it on weekdays and has now lost interest in it and doesn't want to participate.

Since his wife wasn't going, Ning Yi thought about giving an invitation to Yun Zhu and Jin'er. Having heard Yun Zhu's singing a lot on weekdays, he felt that she would probably also be interested in that Li Shishi. Because it rained the day before, he only met Yun Zhu in front of the small building the next morning. When talking about this matter, Yun Zhu tilted her head and hesitated slightly.

"Li Heng... do you want me to accompany you?"

What she was hesitating about was the issue of identity. Women like Li Shishi, Qilan, and Luo Miaomiao would participate in the spring outing before Qingming, and perhaps even more women from brothels would go along. If she accompanied Ning Yi there, and dressed as a woman, it was likely that someone would recognize her as Nie Yunzhu from Jin Feng Lou, especially since Jin'er had an even higher chance of being recognized. If she was still in Jin Feng Lou, accompanying her loved one to participate in this kind of gathering would naturally make a name for him. If Li Heng asked her to show her face at this time, she... might not refuse, but she would feel pain in her heart.

However, this thought only flashed through her mind slightly. She knew that Ning Yi probably wouldn't ask her to do this kind of thing. Sure enough, she then heard him say: "Of course you can't dress up as a woman to go. You can dress up as a man or something. My barbecue skills are good. We'll eat barbecue next to them and watch them recite poetry and write poems, and Li Shishi and the others sing and dance. Actually, I've mainly been influenced by you recently and want to see how powerful this Li Shishi really is. If she's a complete mess and dares to call herself the best in the capital, I'll write a doggerel poem to scold her, haha..."

Yun Zhu sat there and chuckled. She was happy that Ning Yi said she had influenced him: "I haven't heard her yet, so it's hard to say. But since she can be called the best in the capital, she must have amazing artistic skills, but I'm not afraid of her in these things..." She was naturally indifferent, and after hesitating for a long time, she softly said the sentence "not afraid of her," which also carried a little pride and confidence.

Ning Yi smiled and shook his head: "I don't plan to compete with her... Um, is it settled?"

"If Li Heng says to go, then I'll go." She thought for a while, "I actually want to see Miss Li's performance too."

"Heh."

The two discussed this matter and were sitting on the steps talking when the door behind them opened. Usually, there was only one person who would come out at this time. Without looking back, Yuan Jin'er, dressed in men's clothing today, sat down next to Yun Zhu, and across Yun Zhu, glanced over here. Her expression... was not good.

Although her expression was usually not very good, today's feeling was different. Ning Yi was stunned, and said across Yun Zhu: "You don't look too good today."

Jin'er gave him a chin, then looked at the person next to her: "Sister Yunzhu, can you go inside for a while? I have something to say to him alone!"

"Uh..." Yun Zhu was stunned, and then, not knowing what she remembered, her face turned slightly red and she looked at Jin'er with some confusion. Jin'er pursed her lips and whispered: "Sister Yunzhu, don't worry, I won't tell him about what happened yesterday morning. I have something important to say to him alone."

Yun Zhu thought for a while, and seeing her resolute look, she finally got up and walked towards the room with some worry, and then smiled: "Don't you two fight."

"We won't fight." Ning Yi couldn't help laughing, "At most it's a one-sided beating."

"Tch." Jin'er sneered dismissively. After Yun Zhu went in and closed the door, the two looked at each other for a long time. Ning Yi smiled: "Okay, what's wrong today? What have I done that is harmful to nature and reason?"

Jin'er moved her butt a few times towards Ning Yi's side, sat in Yun Zhu's original position, glanced at Ning Yi, then turned her head to look ahead: "I have something to say to you."

She was serious, so Ning Yi restrained his smile and nodded: "Um, I'm listening."

"It's no use even if you smile."

"Psychological examples show that when you say this, it's mostly useful for others to laugh at you."

"...I've fallen in love with Sister Yunzhu."

"Uh..."

Ning Yi was stunned. Although she had said that she liked Sister Yunzhu or something in the past, this time the feeling was different. Jin'er didn't hear his answer, and after a moment, turned her head to look at him and repeated: "I've fallen in love with Sister Yunzhu."

"Um, is it a different kind of love than before?"

"It's easy to talk to smart people..." Jin'er grumbled unhappily, but was also puzzled as to why the other party would act so normal, "Anyway, I've fallen in love."

"...I don't have any prejudice about this kind of thing, but... I have to admit that my feeling is quite complicated when you say it so seriously." Ning Yi laughed, but not with a mocking smile.

"I discovered it yesterday because Sister Yunzhu said some things to me, said your words, and then I felt that I had fallen in love with Sister Yunzhu." She rested her chin on her hands, looking at the road ahead with some melancholy, looking like a melancholy little boy, and then turned her head and said, "I know you'll think it's strange, but this kind of thing also exists in... in the kind of place we used to be, who made you men all bad things!"

"I don't think it's strange..." Ning Yi curled his lips. In his previous life, he had been in a high position and had seen many strange people. What's so strange about female homosexuality? Lesbians, showing off in front of him. Of course, thousands of years later, those homosexuals are often very firm, but not now. Jin'er seems to have some self-doubt, and she probably isn't very sure herself, and she dares to say it so arrogantly...

"Do you know? You're not worthy of Sister Yunzhu..." Jin'er didn't look at him, and said to herself, "Although you're not bad if you're singled out, you can't even marry Sister Yunzhu home. You also know, and Sister Yunzhu herself knows, but you're very shamelessly don't hide it at all. You don't cover up your faults, so Sister Yunzhu has to take the responsibility. You're the most despicable person... Do you know, we talked about you yesterday morning."

"Um."

Ning Yi nodded without arguing. He wanted to say that even if you are a lesbian, you can't give Yunzhu a home, but seeing that she was emotionally unstable, he let her go.

"I asked Sister Yunzhu, what will you do in the future? Sister Yunzhu said one sentence at the time..." She pointed to the road ahead. At this time, the sky had turned white, willows extended along the river, and white mist was vast, obscuring the road in the unknown distance, "Sister Yunzhu said... when I'm sixty years old, and become an old woman, I can also get up early, and then before dawn, he comes over from there for a walk, and I'm still waiting for him here..."

Ning Yi was completely silent, and Jin'er looked at him: "That's what she said, did you hear clearly?"
