Chapter 522
The shopkeeper immediately turned pale, "This poem will kill people!"

After speaking, the shopkeeper looked around.

He sent away the guests in the outer hall under the pretext, and closed the door tightly in a panic.

Glancing at me solemnly, the shopkeeper took out a piece of paper and wrote down the words 'Qiao Wanru' in block letters stroke by stroke.

"Qiao Wanru?"

As soon as Lu Pianpang blurted out, the shopkeeper covered his mouth.

"This name is the same as that forbidden poem, which can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words!" Seeing Lu Pianpian nodded hastily, the shopkeeper let go of his hand. "For the sake of convenience, let me replace it with Talented Woman Qiao."

"Okay!" Lu just nodded again.

"These things are passed down from the older generation. I can't guarantee whether they are true or not. More than 400 years ago, a member of the Qiao family had a daughter at the age of fifty. A lot of money is paid to invite teachers to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, etc."

The shopkeeper paused when he said this, "You must know that since ancient times, women who have no talent are virtues, but Qiao Yuanwai raised this only daughter as a man. This talented Qiao girl is also born with intelligence. The Five Classics. At the age of seven, he was able to compose poetry in five steps."

"Isn't this a child prodigy!" Lu Pianpian exclaimed.

"Fortune tellers say that this talented girl Qiao is a star of Wenqu. If she is a daughter, she will definitely win the first prize!" The shopkeeper shook his head, "It's a pity!"

"What happened next?" I thought for a while.

"Talented girl Qiao not only knows people well, but also looks dignified and beautiful. There are countless people who admire her. But she is arrogant and arrogant, and she looks down on people without talent, let alone those who are bitter and powerful."

"He has the arrogance of a literati!" I chuckled lightly.

"But it's this arrogance that hurt her!" The shopkeeper's face was serious. "The county magistrate next door fell in love with the talented woman Qiao and wanted to marry her. After the talented woman Qiao refused in every possible way, she wrote the name of the talented woman Qiao on the waiting list. The list of beautiful women was presented to the imperial court. And the artist was specially instructed to make the paintings of Qiao talented women as beautiful as possible. As a result..."

"Did you get selected?" Lu asked hurriedly.

"En!" The shopkeeper nodded, "If you become a beautiful girl and enter the palace, if you can't become a concubine, you will also become a palace maid, and you will not be allowed to leave the palace for life. Qiao Yuan knew that she was anxious to prepare to run away with her family, but the talented woman Qiao knew that the whole world belonged to the king's land." Reason, knowing that there is no way to escape, so she compromised. Anyway, she only loves books and poetry all her life, and is not interested in other things at all. Wherever she goes, it's the same."

"So... she went?" I asked tentatively.

"If she really enters the palace smoothly, according to Qiao's appearance and talent, she will definitely be favored! But just one month before she was due to enter the palace, she met Jian Kong."

"Jie Kong? Listen to the name, is he a monk?" I frowned slightly.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "Jie Kong is an eminent monk of Jiming Temple, and he became the master at the age of double ten. It is said that he is the reincarnation of a living Buddha, and he will become a Buddha in the future! And his relics can suppress the dragon veins of the royal family. !"

"Speak quickly! What happened next?" Lu Pianpian shook the shopkeeper's hand vigorously, "Don't tell me, they fell in love!"

"That's right! One is a noble and arrogant talented woman, and the other is a monk who has nothing to do with everything. Two people who seem to never communicate with each other actually agree with each other! But this matter is outrageous!" The shopkeeper stomped his feet, "What happened later, the old people didn't say anything, they only knew that the emperor's imperial car came and burned her to death, and the talented woman Qiao was also missing from now on!"
