Chapter 73 (2/2)

“Sir Guibai, do you know how to write?” Ji Man brightly smiled at the expressionless servant.

Guibai paused before saying, “Mistress Sang, you don’t know how to write?”

“Of course, I can. It's just that I haven’t recovered from my cold yet and my hand feels weak.” Ji Man held her forehead and pretended to be frail, “Come on, you can write it out while I speak.”

Guibai saw that she truly looked weak, so he kindly took the brush from her.

”Master Mingjie, Scholar Qingyun,

Drink up. Don't neglect your wine cup.

Let me sing you a song,

Lend me your ears as I sing.

Bells, drums, delicacies, and jade aren’t precious enough,

I rather fall into intoxication and never awake.

Since ancient times, wise and holy men have always been alone,

Only drinkers leave behind a reputation.

In the past, Cao Zhi had held a banquet at the Pingle,

And provided ten thousand cups of wine for his guests to indulge and enjoy.

As the host, I won’t excuse myself from drinking by claiming lack of money,

I’ll straightforwardly buy as much wine as we want to drink.

A fine steed with a five-color pattern like a five-petal flower.

Its skin is worth a thousand gold.

Call my boy over and have him exchange this horse for more wine,

I’ll share this wine with you as we drink away worries that have existed since ancient times.”

As Ji Man guilty recited the

guilty recited the poem, she changed the two names of Li Bai’s friends that were mentioned in the original poem to Ning Mingjie and Nie Qingyun. This way, it would make it seem more like she had composed this poem. Otherwise, how would she be able to answer Marquis Moyu if he asked her who was Master Cen and Scholar Danqiu?

After Guibai finished writing, the look in his eyes was very complicated. He stared at Nie Sangyu for a long time. He seemed as if he couldn’t believe that she would able to compose verses like these.

Ji Man held her forehead as she returned to her bed to rest. Naturally, Nie Sangyu shouldn’t be this broad-minded. But, in this world, she was the only one that knew Li Bai’s poems. There was no one that would be able to take out evidence to show that she had plagiarized.

However, she hadn't figured out yet what method the novel’s formerly kind-hearted and lovely female lead would use to recover the Marquis Moyu’s heart.

“Marquis, Madam went to the garden to walk around after eating.” Liu Mamacontinued to act as a spy, but this time, Wen Wan was her target that she kept a close watch over.

Marquis Moyu was sitting in Mu Shuqing’s courtyard. Hearing these words, he pursed his lips and asked, “She didn’t ask you to pa.s.s on any messages?”

“To respond to the marquis, she didn’t.” Liu Mama honestly said.

Translator Ramblings: Even though Ji Man believes that she’s let go of most of the grievances in her heart, her instinctive response toward Ning Yuxuan is still “go away” and “leave me alone”.
