"The Mo Family's son is fond of men." When this news spread throughout the entire Vermillion Bird Avenue, everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it.
"That's impossible!" No one believed it at all.
Mo Jiazi's reputation had always been very good. From his family background, character, and talent, Mo Jiazi had always been the best choice. In addition, he was like the God of Wealth, so he was favored by many aristocratic families. If Meton agreed, countless matchmakers would definitely come to his door and would not let go of Mo Jiazi, this rich husband.
However, Meton's love life had always been a blank. Occasionally, there were rumors that Mo Jiazi was infatuated with Gong Sunyue, who was a master of swordsmanship and dancing. However, when the news came from the Mo Village that Gong Sunyue was invited to be the ambassador of Xie Qianchou, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was impossible for the two to be together.
After all, if Mo Jiazi really liked Gong Sunyue, how could he let her appear in public and travel a long distance to promote Xie Qianchou in the Tang dynasty?
Later, there were also rumors that Mo Jiazi was angry for a beauty and did not hesitate to offend the Tuyuhun for Princess Changle. In this Tuyuhun war, the Mo family had been actively promoting.
Who would have thought that at this time, there was a rumor that Mo Jiazi liked Long Yi. How could people accept it?
"I don't believe it either, but I saw it with my own eyes. The son of the Mo Family was right in front of the Golden Jade Tower. Mo Dun was very close with an extremely beautiful man, and even went to the extent of personally coming out to snatch enough gold jewelry for him to please him." Someone said solemnly.
Suddenly, there was an uproar. Jewelry and the like were women's things. Men liked jewelry, and perhaps only men who were gay would like it.
At the same time, the riddles and answers of the lantern riddles in Jinyu Tower were soon revealed. Among them, Mo Jiazi's wonderful method of solving riddles further confirmed the identity of Mo Jiazi and added some truth to the rumor.
For a moment, the whole street was in an uproar. Everyone spread the news by word of mouth. Even the wonderful lantern market suddenly became dull. The people who were watching the lanterns from nearby Jinyu Lou flocked to Jinyu Lou.
"Bullsh * t! You guys are the ones who love gay men! Meton isn't that kind of person!" In front of the western region platform, Qin Huaiyu and the other two, who were watching the beautiful dancing skills of the western region dancers with great interest, suddenly flew into a rage when they heard the rumor. They grabbed the neck of the rumor maker and roared.
They knew Meton very well. Meton was usually very self-disciplined. Although they always ridiculed him for having evil intentions but no guts, they didn't believe that Meton liked Long Yang.
"We also heard about it from others. Someone saw it with their own eyes." The rumor maker said in a trembling voice.
"They saw it with their own eyes!" Cheng Chumo roared. "Walking side by side with a man is considered Long Yang? Have you ever walked side by side with a man? "
"But, Mo Jiazi also fought for gold jewelry?" Someone was unconvinced.
"Who wouldn't want free gold placed in front of them?" Yuchi Bao Lin retorted. He found that he had never been so quick-witted and couldn't help but secretly admire himself.
Everyone suddenly fell silent. After the three people's interruption, everyone felt that the rumor about Mo Jiazi being Long Yang was not enough to be accepted.
Then, an even more shocking news came. Mo Jiazi actually innovated and created a new literary style in front of Jinyu Tower — — Ci.
"The east wind blossoms a thousand trees, blowing down stars like rain …" A Confucian scholar recited the Green Jade Desk's New Year's Eve. Looking around at the magnificent fireworks and silver flowers, the dots of lights, like a sky full of stars, he couldn't help but be touched by the scenery and lost in it.
Quite a few scholars were sighing. All along, they were unconvinced. Why was it that the Mohist's son was so talented that he could repeatedly write peerless poems? However, this time, in the same situation, almost all of the scholars who came to the Vermilion Bird Avenue had written poems before. However, compared to the Mohist's poem, it was simply like the difference between the clouds and mud.
At this moment, everyone was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of Vermilion Bird Avenue. They were all fascinated by Mo Jiazi's talent. Such a popular poem was even more intoxicating than the beautiful scenery tonight.
In an instant, countless people on Vermilion Bird Avenue were reciting the Green Jade Desk's New Year's Eve. The poem blended with the beautiful scenery in front of them, and everyone couldn't help but be reluctant to go back and forth.
Perhaps in the future, the lantern market of Vermilion Bird Avenue would be more prosperous, but the Zhenguan Eight Years' Lantern Market of Vermilion Bird Avenue would be forever passed down with this poem.
"Is this the poem?"
Countless scholars sighed in amazement. No one had thought that in addition to poetry, there could be such a beautiful poem. The form was more open, and the use of long and short sentences made it easy to read. The Green Jade Desk's New Year's Eve was an example. Even if people took the Green Jade Desk's New Year's Eve and pieced it together into a poem, it would not have such charm.
Compared with poetry, the poem was more unrestrained in form, breaking the strict definition of poetry, and more in line with the needs of the people's life. The strong atmosphere of the people's life in Chang 'an City was just in line with the living environment of the poem. Once it was spread, it immediately resonated with many people.
"There is no symmetry and rhyme. It is an insult to the poem and destroys the rhythm!" There were also many stubborn Confucian scholars who disdained it and thought that Mo Jiazi had destroyed the structure of the poem. More people slapped the table and applauded. However, no matter whether they agreed or disagreed, they couldn't deny the amazing talent of this poem.
"Moths in the snow and willows in the golden strands, laughing and talking with hidden fragrance …" Qin Huaiyu's eyes lit up and suddenly said excitedly, "So, the poem is about a woman, and Meton is not gay!"
"That's right!" Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuxian suddenly understood. Even if they weren't good at literature, they could still see that this poem was about a woman.
"But we clearly saw that she was dressed as a man," someone retorted.
"A woman dressed as a man!" Qin Huaiyu and the other two said in unison.
It was the Lantern Festival, and there were many women on the streets. However, there were also many young ladies dressed as men, so there were quite a few of them. Based on this analysis, it was very likely that the person around Mo Jiazi was a man dressed as a woman.
"If that's the case, then the son of the Mo Family isn't a homosexual. Instead, he's hanging out with a cross-dressing woman." Everyone suddenly understood.
With the addition of the poem, this theory quickly gained the upper hand. Although there were a few people who still firmly believed that Mo Jiazi was gay, they were quickly drowned out by the crowd.
"Pa!"
In a private room of a restaurant, Wei Sian angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand.
"Mo Jiazi, I didn't expect that you would escape again like this," Wei Sian said with an ugly expression.
"This little one is incompetent, please punish me, Young Master." A servant knelt on the ground and trembled.
Wei Sian sneered and said, "No, who said you were incompetent? You have done what you should have done!"
"Ah!" The kneeling servant looked up in confusion.
Wei Sian showed a hint of pride and said, "Whether the person around Mo Jiazi is a man or a woman, this poem has already proved that Mo Jiazi already has a sweetheart."
Since Mo Jiazi already had a sweetheart, it was almost impossible between him and Princess Changle. In this way, Wei Sian's opportunity had come.
The Wei family was a great aristocratic family in Chang 'an City, and they had Imperial Concubine Wei in the harem. They were the best choice for a royal marriage. The Ice Snow Princess had made Princess Changle famous, so how could Wei Sian not be moved?
However, no one doubted that this person was a woman dressed as a man. As the Grand Princess, Princess Changle's reputation had always been that of a virtuous and virtuous woman, gentle and kind-hearted. How could she possibly do such a shocking thing?
