Xu Qingxiao put down her luggage and lay directly on the bed.
Living in a carriage for several days in a row was naturally uncomfortable, and I had to curl up with my legs when sleeping. There was no bed where I could sleep peacefully.
After resting for a while, Xu Qingxiao got up and started practicing.
For five days in a row, Xu Qingxiao did not practice.
Now that she is finally alone, Xu Qingxiao will naturally not be lazy.
Twenty days have passed before and after, and there are only two months left to enter the ninth level after three months.
Urgent, Xu Qingxiao is not particularly anxious.
Relying on the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, it can be said that it is more than enough to reach the ninth level in the remaining two months.
inside the room.
Xu Qingxiao's physical body once again showed a faint golden light.
Qi and blood boiled and surged, and streams of Golden Crow Qi and blood condensed out. There were also hundreds of streams of Golden Crow Qi and blood in the body.
There are two ways to go now.
Gathers the Qi and blood of Golden Crow to nourish the physical body.
Use the Qi and blood of the Golden Crow to open up the muscles and veins and complete the coagulation of the veins.
Xu Qingxiao chose the first option for the time being. He planned to wait until some time later before making a breakthrough. It would be better if it was later.
There is no need to rush.
An hour later, Xu Qingxiao finished her work.
With this period of practice, Xu Qingxiao also felt the transformation of her physique more and more.
It can be said that there are different changes every day, whether it is physical fitness or reaction ability, all-round improvement.
Xu Qingxiao didn't know exactly how strong it was, but for example, if he met the two brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu.
Xu Qingxiao felt that she could defeat the two of them with one hand.
Both of them are also tenth-level warriors, but Xu Qingxiao is confident that he can defeat them with one hand.
"Brother Bao said that there is something called a drum in the government office, which can test the strength of warriors."
"If you have a chance, you can go and test it."
Xu Qingxiao thought in his mind that he was also confused about the warrior system. After all, he still lacked knowledge.
"If you want to read a book, there is an academy in Nanyu Mansion with a collection of millions of books."
"Forget it about the government examination, it's just a futile thing. Read more books. After the government examination is over, leave Nanyu Mansion and go to other houses anonymously."
"It's troublesome if Cheng Lidong dies. There's no guarantee that the higher-ups won't make wild guesses."
"It would be even more troublesome if he wasn't dead. This guy probably has a problem with me."
One thing after another appeared in Xu Qingxiao's mind as he planned for the future.
Nanyu Mansion is just a place to stay.
The main purpose of coming here was not for the government examination, but mainly to get rid of suspicion and give Wu Yan a chance to take action.
The second is to read books. My biggest problem is that the amount of information is too little. I must read more to make up for my blind spots in knowledge.
Want to read a book.
Read more books.
Xu Qingxiao was already a little impatient.
"Oh, no, I still have to attend the feast."
Xu Qingxiao, who was almost ready to leave directly, suddenly remembered that there would be a banquet in the evening.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but sigh, but she had nothing to say.
In ancient times, when there was a lack of entertainment, the biggest hobby was hosting banquets and gathering friends. Literati had their own ways of playing, rough people had their own way of playing, and even children and the elderly had their own ways of playing.
After all, at night, apart from going to the flower house, you can't find any other entertainment options. It's just a gamble until you die.
Xu Qingxiao thought very clearly about the banquet in the evening.
The method to expand your social network is also very simple. Compliment people when you meet them. If you are good at literary talent, praise your literary talent. If you are good at painting, praise your painting. If your literary talent is average, praise you for your good looks.
Let me ask, who would think that they are not handsome?
Xu Qingxiao is not very skilled in this kind of social skills. In her previous life, she accompanied her boss on business trips and relied on her good eloquence.
Just like that, another half hour passed without realizing it.
A knock on the door made Xu Qingxiao put down the book in her hand.
"coming."
After responding, Xu Qingxiao stood up, opened the door and saw Wang Ru and a woman dressed as a maid appearing.
"I've met brother Wang Ru."
Xu Qingxiao was very polite, but at the same time there was a little confusion in her eyes.
"Brother Qingxiao, your senior brother said that he would attend the banquet later, so he asked me to take you there first. Your senior brother specially asked me to prepare this set of clothes. You should change your clothes first."
Wang Ru was very polite to Xu Qingxiao.
"Change clothes?"
Xu Qingxiao took a look at her plain clothes. They were quite clean, but they did not look like a scholar.
"Okay, please excuse me, brother Wang Ru."
Xu Qingxiao took the tray from the maid's hand.
"Brother Qingxiao, you change your clothes first, I'll wait for you downstairs."
Wang Ru said this and helped Xu Qingxiao close the door.
After the door is closed.
Xu Qingxiao started to change clothes.
The robe Chen Xinghe prepared for himself was a silk and brocade robe. It was white as a whole. The top was spotless, and the lower skirt had a bit of cyan lace on the corners. The overall look was simple yet elegant.
After changing her clothes, Xu Qingxiao tied her hair casually with a hairpin.
There were no mirrors in ancient times, and even ordinary brass mirrors were not cheap. Fortunately, upper-class guest rooms all had brass mirrors.
You can't see the whole picture, you can only take a look at your own appearance.
Not bad, quite handsome.
After a brief tidying up, Xu Qingxiao opened the door and walked downstairs.
Arriving on the first floor, Wang Ru was drinking tea and waiting for him.
"Brother Wang Ru."
Xu Qingxiao shouted.
The latter immediately turned around, and when he saw Xu Qingxiao, Wang Ru couldn't help but look surprised.
"Brother Qingxiao?"
Wang Ru was a little shocked.
The impression Xu Qingxiao gave him before was that she was just a little delicate.
But after putting on this suit of clothes, she looked extremely elegant and delicate, and her appearance had undergone an earth-shaking change.
It makes people feel extremely handsome.
In fact, literati care about appearance very much. After all, wouldn’t it seem inconsistent for a person with a sinister face to speak the words of a saint?
After Xu Qingxiao changed her clothes, she really changed a lot, not only in appearance, but mainly in temperament.
The saying that people rely on their clothes and Buddhas rely on their gold attire does make sense.
After Xu Qingxiao changed her clothes, she was full of elegance, which made her face look very handsome.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little confused, and the latter waved his hand and said with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's just that my dear brother has changed his clothes. It's like changing someone. He looks much more handsome."
"But think about it, if you can come with Brother Chen, Brother Qingxiao is certainly not bad."
"Brother, it's getting late, shall we go together?"
Wang Ru said a few words in succession, glanced at the sky, and looked slightly anxious.
"Okay, brother, please lead the way."
Xu Qingxiao nodded and followed Wang Ru.
The banquet place is not far from the restaurant.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the banquet venue.
【Mingxinzhai】
It is a large house. There are white jade statues of ancient beasts outside the door, one on the left and one on the left.
The gate of the house is very impressive, and is guarded by dozens of warriors, all of whom are high-level warriors.
A high-level martial artist can work as a police officer in Ping'an County, but in Nanyu Mansion, he can only serve as a gatekeeper. This is a big city.
"I have met Mr. Wang, may I ask who this is?"
The servant who greeted guests at the door of the house came and looked at Wang Ru with a smile on his face.
"This is my good friend, Chen Xinghe's junior brother, named Xu Qingxiao."
Wang Ru opened his mouth and informed the other party of Xu Qingxiao's identity.
"Understood, please come in, two gentlemen."
"Prince Wang Ru and his son have arrived."
"Xu Qingxiao, Mr. Xu is here."
The latter was just a routine inquiry. After they were sure, they shouted loudly to inform them.
Soon, a maid came out of the house and led Wang Ru and Xu Qingxiao inside.
"Brother Qingxiao, this must be your first time attending such a banquet."
"Brother Yu, let me remind you a few points. If you have any insights later, it's best to think about it before you talk."
"This is your first time here. Make as many friends as possible. The people who can come here are all well-known people in Nanyu Mansion."
"If we get along well, we will have smooth sailing in Nanyu Mansion from now on. Even if we go to Changping County, we will have some connections."
Wang Ru and Xu Qingxiao walked side by side and told Xu Qingxiao some precautions in a low voice.
"Understood, thank you brother for reminding me, I will keep it in mind."
Xu Qingxiao nodded.
The house is very big. Beyond the front hall, there is a rockery and a small bridge and flowing water. It is the so-called big villa in the previous life and a real garden.
Just after crossing a small bridge, several figures appeared in front.
"Brother Zhiyuan, is this Brother Zhiyuan?"
Wang Ru looked happy and shouted loudly.
The people walking forward stopped immediately, then turned around and saw Wang Ru, and they smiled immediately.
"Brother Wang Ru, I haven't seen you for a while."
With a smile on his face, the man saluted Wang Ru, and Wang Ru quickly returned the salute.
"Yes, I missed you so much when we said goodbye to Yunling last time. I miss you so much."
"Oh, by the way, Brother Zhiyuan, this is Xu Qingxiao, Chen Xinghe's fellow junior."
"Brother Qingxiao, this is Zhao Zhiyuan, from Bailu Academy, Master Xu's favorite student."
Wang Ru introduced the two of them.
Xu Qingxiao immediately made a ceremony.
"I have met Brother Zhiyuan, and I have always heard that my senior brother mentioned Brother Zhiyuan. I never thought that being famous would be better than meeting him. Meeting him is worse than being famous."
Xu Qingxiao's social skills are at the top level.
As soon as he spoke, Wang Ru couldn't help but be shocked, and Zhao Zhiyuan was even more stunned, followed by joy.
Moreover, it is not straightforward in any way. It is literary and elegant but not direct.
This is a good man.
"Brother Qingxiao, you are too polite. If you are too polite, it is all in vain. It is all in vain."
Zhao Zhiyuan couldn't hide the smile on his face, so he could only respond with false claims, but his affection for Xu Qingxiao doubled.
"Oh, by the way, these two are also my friends. This is Lin Ning from Jinyun County, and this is Wang Zhao from Yongling County."
Zhao Zhiyuan opened his mouth and introduced Wang Ru and Chen Xinghe to them.
"It turns out that these two are Lin Ning and Wang Zhao. These days, I hear my master mentioning their names from time to time."
"They are said to be talented and knowledgeable, so I will definitely make good friends with them when we meet them in the future. I met these two brothers in Qingxiao."
After Xu Qingxiao returned the gift, she showed excitement and said to the two of them.
As soon as these words were said, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned.
They can be regarded as talented people in various places, but when they come to Nanyu Mansion, they are just average. Maybe Qingxiao's words are too sincere to be false.
For a moment, the two of them became inexplicably happy.
"Brother Qingxiao, you are serious. The two of us just studied for a few more years. We are very knowledgeable and talented. We dare not take it. We don't dare to take it."
The two of them were humble and polite, but they said they didn't dare to take it seriously, and the smiles on their faces were so big that they didn't look like they didn't take it seriously.
"Brother Qingxiao, you are really humble and polite. You must have a few drinks later."
Zhao Zhiyuan smiled.
After just a simple meeting, several people's affection for Xu Qingxiao doubled, which surprised Wang Ru on the side.
However, everyone did not delay and walked together.
Just walking on the road, Wang Ru was a little curious and asked in a low voice.
