Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 336: Poetry?!

"You want some?"

Huo Fei Li thought that Lin Xuan Qi and Sima Long, who were mortals, would be feeling cold in the autumn wind and a little wine would help.

But Lin Xuan Qi wasn’t feeling so, due to his cultivation with the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques.

He shook his head and rejected Huo Fei Li’s offer.

Sima Long held a wine cup in his hand while Huo Fei Li poured the wine from the wine gourd into the wine cup.

He downed the cup of wine in a mouthful and let out a satisfying ah.

"Great wine. Great food. Such scenery and good buddies. Nothing else could be better than this." Sima Long said while he glanced out into the distance.

It was autumn and the leaves of the trees along the road had turned red and yellow.

Some had fallen to the ground, creating a sea of red and yellow on the ground.

"I wish I could recite a poem worthy of this scene." Sima Long said and glanced at Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi waved his hand at Sima Long and said, "Not today."

"Brother Xuan Qi is a poet too?" Huo Fei Li asked with curiosity.

"You didn’t know that?" Sima Long said smugly and stood up with the wine cup raised.

He began to recite the poem that Lin Xuan Qi had made.

"How deep the sorrow hearts must know? As endless rivers eastward flow." Huo Fei Li mumbled to himself repeatedly and gazed out into the distance.

He couldn’t believe that it was so good, invoking a sense of melancholy in him.

And just then, a cold breeze swept the fallen leaves on the ground, making them dance in the air and slowly descend back to where they were.

Huo Fei Li turned around and took a quick glance at the horse carriage of Lu Ting.

But after a moment, he snapped out of it.

Huo Fei Li stood up with excitement and paced around.

He glanced at Lin Xuan Qi and said, "I didn’t know that you were so good with poetry on top of all the other things you know."

His respect for Lin Xuan Qi increased even more.

"I have a friend you must meet when we get to Bian Jing.

"He is an avid lover of poetry and he will be very happy to get to know you.

"And there are so many places you can showcase your talent in poetry."

Huo Fei Li said and he paced around with an increased pace.

He was thinking about all the people Lin Xuan Qi should meet and introduce to his poetry talent.

The emperor encouraged everyone to focus on the imperial exams and other arts like poetry.

It would be advantageous for Lin Xuan Qi and his business to be known for it in the young masters’ circles.

"Slow down, you are making me dizzy." Sima Long stretched out his hand and shook his head at Huo Fei Li.

"I’m sorry, brother Sima Long." Huo Fei Li stopped and glanced at Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi could only give them a sheepish smile and said, "We shall see when we get there.

"But there are no promises.

"After all, I might need to have the right mood and condition to come up with a good poem."

He gave an excuse so he would be able to have a way out if these meetings were not to his liking.

"That’s understood." Huo Fei Li nodded his head.

He sat back down with Lin Xuan Qi and Sima Long.

Liu Shi Shi, who was sitting by the side with Yue Xin, glanced at Lin Xuan Qi and Lin Xuan Qi gave her a frown gesturing for her to keep mum.

She knew that he was lying.

He could come up with one whenever he liked.

And that reminded her that it had been a while since she had heard something new from him.

She would be grateful for this trip if he would come up with a new poem for her again.

"Master Lin, eat the food before it gets too cold." Yue Xin pointed at the food that they hadn’t touched.

Sima Long slapped the back of his head and said, "Yeah, we better finish the food and get back on the move."

Huo Fei Li nodded his head, took a bite from the bun and closed his eyes.

It was delicious.

The meat in the bun, flavored with the Lin Clan Taste Transcendent Essence, was as good as he had remembered it to be.

Lin Xuan Qi also munched on the food and snacks that Auntie Sue had prepared.

It didn’t take long for them to finish up the food.

And after Yue Xin cleared everything up, they got back to their horse carriages to start moving again.

...

The rest of the day was a relatively uneventful affair.

It was a long and bumpy ride to Luo Xia village.

The monotonous gallop of the horse and the rocking of the horse carriage made everyone sleepy.

Yue Xin’s eyes slowly closed from it and she tilted her head to the side and slept with her head resting on the shoulder of Lin Xuan Qi.

Liu Shi Shi sitting on the other side of Lin Xuan Qi didn’t want to lose out and she did the same.

With their heads resting on his shoulders, he couldn’t do much but let out a sigh.

He closed his eyes and made use of the opportunity to cultivate instead.

His Five-Element Qi cycled through the organs in his body, making his use of the Five-Element Qi even better and also strengthening his body at the same time.

Crack.

He didn’t know how long it was before he heard the cracking of the coachman’s whip and the horse carriages stopped.

Yue Xin rubbed her eyes and mumbled softly, "Are we there yet?"

Liu Shi Shi also woke up from the nap and saw that it was starting to get dark.

"Brother Xuan Qi, we are at Luo Xia village now." Huo Fei Li’s voice sounded from outside the horse carriage.
