Chapter 101 The place where the talented young man and the wind and moon
Xu Baiyan is indeed worthy of his reputation as handsome.
He was dressed in cloud satin and brocade, with a picturesque appearance and extremely handsome features. He was sitting casually in the banquet hall, looking indescribably graceful and elegant, and his every move could not conceal his noble and elegant appearance.
Even compared to Su Zhaoshi and Xu Baiyan, who were both equally handsome, they were still far behind.
If others didn't know better, they might think that the real owner of this luxurious banquet hall was Xu Baiyan, who came from an ordinary background.
Princess Anqing didn't seem to be too interested in the affairs of the Duke of Nanguo Mansion, and just said casually: "Nan Xuehu? Is that Nan Heyu's concubine brother?"
Sheng Zi raised her head and asked curiously: "Nan Xuehu usually walks alone, and does not take any followers with him when he goes out. His martial arts talent is not bad, so where can he go if he disappears?"
Su Zhaoshi said while copying: "Perhaps he left Taixuanjing and rode his horse across the Dragon Mountain to hunt the wild beasts and monsters in the mountains. It is said that there are many more monsters on Jiaoshen Mountain, and many hunters in Taixuanjing do not dare to
Went in.
It is normal for a strong young man like him to go to the Horned Mountain to gain experience, and it is not worthy of our discussion..."
When he said this, he suddenly frowned, rolled up a piece of gold-leaf paper into a ball in frustration, and threw it on the ground.
I guess I copied a word wrong.
When Xu Baiyan heard Sheng Zi and Su Zhaoshi's words, he thought for a while and nodded: "Nan Xuehu has a good talent in martial arts. A long time ago, I followed my teacher to visit Nanguo Duke's Mansion, and I saw him handling all the affairs in Nanfu now.
Master Nan Tinggui, Nan Xuehu was also there at that time. At that time, Nan Xuehu's cultivation level had already reached the level of snow mountain.
It has been so long, and I think that even if Nan Xuehu has not achieved the fifth level of martial arts, Qi and Blood Yang, he is probably just a short step away, and nothing should happen to him.
However... Nanfu's reaction was a little nervous."
Princess Anqing waved her hands in boredom and said: "I don't know this guy named Nan Xuehu either, but I am very interested in his Yuelongshan. Besides, Nan Guo Gongfu now has Nan Fengmian and Nan He.
Yu, even the adopted son Nan Yue Xiang can take charge of his role on his own. Whether there is a Nan Xuehu is actually not important, and indeed it is not worthy of our discussion."
Princess Anqing said these words.
Sheng Zi and Su Zhaoshi also looked normal and did not feel rude.
At that time, Princess Anqing bluntly said that Lu Jing was just an unfavored concubine and a surrogate son-in-law. Sheng Zi and Su Zhaoshi were quite displeased.
The reason was that Lu Jing at that time was entrusted by Shengzi because of Su Zhaoshi, and the guest he invited had a good relationship with Shengzi, and made a good impression on Su Zhaoshi.
Because of this, Princess Anqing's rudeness that day embarrassed Sheng Zi and made Su Zhaoshi feel a little guilty, so the two of them scolded Princess Anqing harshly.
But neither Shengzi nor Su Zhaoshi knew much about Nan Xuehu, so naturally they wouldn't say anything for him.
In the hearts of Sheng Zi and Su Zhaoshi, what Princess Anqing said at this moment was also true.
Since Nan Fengmian brought back the body of the Yuelao Protector from Northern Qin, even though Nan Fengmian has been silent since then, not much news has come out.
However, many court officials who had old connections with the Duke of Nanguo were promoted one after another, and the industry of the Duke of Nanguo in Xuandu became more and more prosperous. Many Taoist authorities also opened the door to the Duke of Nanguo!
This is the influence of Nanfengmian!
Currently, there is a Nanfengmian in the Nanguo Duke's Mansion who has made great achievements at a young age and avenged the murder of dozens of millions of innocent souls.
There is another Nan Heyu who studied under a famous family and is known as the genius of swordsmanship!
Nan Xuehu, who would be regarded as extremely outstanding in an ordinary wealthy mansion, was instead found to be mediocre.
It is precisely because of this that Princess Anqing said what she just said.
Xu Baiyan was the only one who had a different opinion from the three of them.
Xu Baiyan still had a smile on his face, shook his head and said: "Nan Xuehu is indeed not as important to the current Nanguo Duke's Mansion as Nan Fengmian and Nan Heyu, but he is still of Nan Tinggui's bloodline, and he has also made meritorious deeds in his youth.
, which adds a lot to the Nanguo Duke's mansion. In terms of importance, it is still much more important than Nanyue Xiang, even though Nanyue Xiang is a famous martial arts monk.
If Nan Xuehu's disappearance is nothing, it is indeed not worthy of our discussion, but if something really goes wrong, even in Taixuan Capital, it will definitely cause quite a stir."
Princess Anqing is not interested in these trivial matters in Kyoto.
She smiled flatteringly at Sheng Zi and asked: "Sister Sheng, if Lu Jing doesn't want to come to the Dazhu Palace, I can also send someone to deliver the gifts I prepared to Changning Street.
The gift is also of some value, and it can also add some reputation to Lu Jing in the Jiuhu Lu family."
Seeing the flattering look on Princess Anqing's eyebrows, Sheng Zi sighed, then turned around and said sternly to Princess Anqing: "Princess, there is no need to remember this matter anymore. Although what happened that day was rude,
, but Lu Jing is also smart and understands that you are having a bad temper with me, so he never bothers with me.
Let's let this matter go. I know you are a sharp-tongued person, but the words you spit out from this mouth often hurt people with bad words, but you don't have the kind words to say three winter warms. It's only rude to act like a little girl at every turn, but it's just rude.
No countertop."
Shengzi persuaded Princess Anqing. Princess Anqing bit her lip, but did not refute, just lowered her head.
Xu Baiyan, who was on the side, seemed to be tasting the grapes on the table casually, and said casually: "Shengzi, don't blame the princess too much. The princess's status is noble even in Taixuanjing.
In fact, many truths cannot be applied to noble people.
Regardless of other things, I don’t know how many people want to be scolded by the princess just for this one."
At this point, Xu Baiyan picked another grape but did not put it into his mouth. He just played with it in his hand: "The princess was indeed rude that day, but it was because she did not take into account the appearance of you and Zhao Shi. As for Lu Jing
...It actually doesn’t matter.”
Su Zhaoshi lowered his head to copy the book and did not respond to Xu Baiyan's words.
However, Shengzi thought about it carefully and nodded first: "Anqing has a distinguished status and does not need to pay attention to ordinary people. However, I feel that although Lu Jing is of ordinary origin, he has many talents and a martial arts talent that can be called extraordinary.
Such a dark quagmire can still shine with light, and it deserves our special attention."
Sheng Zi glanced at Xu Baiyan again and said seriously: "When I see Lu Jing these days, I can't help but think of Bai Yan. We have all seen Bai Yan along the way. As the saying goes, a noble son comes from a poor family, but Bai Yan is not
The poor family originally only lived in a thatched house, but now it is becoming more and more noble. The name of "Natural Nature Xu Baiyan" has become famous in such a big Xuan City. I don't know how many ladies in the boudoir, and the girl in the Red Mansion cares about you, the soul.
The extremely talented Xuanyin Xielulang!"
"I always feel that maybe after a few years, Lu Jing's talent and virtue can shine like a white flame in the capital."
Even Su Zhaoshi was a little surprised to hear that Sheng Zi spoke so highly of Lu Jing.
He thought for a while and said to Xu Baiyan: "Bai Yan has a famous teacher to take care of him, and he is a noble person at heart. Naturally, his achievements will be extremely high, and he will get higher and higher in the future.
Even if this Lu Jing is not as good as Bai Yan, I still think that given time, he will be able to gain some fame. I don't know about the other things, but just his cursive handwriting and calm demeanor are not something that ordinary young people can compare with."
The princess of Anqing was not interested in Lu Jing from beginning to end. When she heard Sheng Zi and Su Zhaoshi's comments about Lu Jing, Xu smiled in order to cater to Sheng Zi and said, "Sister Sheng said the same, she can do it at such a young age."
The person who becomes Mr. Library is naturally not an ordinary person."
Xu Baiyan listened quietly to the words of the three people.
His expression remained unchanged and he was still smiling, but when he heard Sheng Zi comparing the concubine of the Lu family and the son-in-law of the Nan family to him, for some reason, the smile on his face became even wider.
He wiped his hands, with more curiosity in his eyes, nodded and said: "This Lu Jing does have the air of a famous person. I met Mr. Wang who lives on the same street as my master early this morning. He told me
, Two or three days ago, he saw Lu Jing from the Lu family in Jiuhu staying overnight on Liuhua Street, getting extremely drunk, and some fishermen sent him back to Changning Street."
"Among the literati and elegant people in the world, there are also those who like to hang out in romantic places, which can be regarded as young and romantic, and have the style of celebrities.
And I also think he is quite brave. Even though he is already the son-in-law of Duke Nanguo, he still dares to go to Liuhua Street, which makes me admire him."
As soon as this statement came out.
Even Su Zhaoshi, who had been concentrating on excerpting the original copy, raised his head.
There was curiosity in his eyes, and he asked doubtfully: "Did I see it wrong? That Lu Jing was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Shengzi told me that the government disciplined him severely, and there were not even many monthly reports. He was told to go to Liuhua
Street, it makes me a little suspicious."
Sheng Zi frowned and asked: "Lu Jing stayed in a brothel overnight? This surprised me. As for the monthly salary mentioned at the time, it is also a problem... But he is now a library gentleman, so he should also have a monthly salary.
Going to Shihua Pavilion and Heyue Tower is naturally a bit reluctant, but it would be enough to go to an ordinary brothel..."
When Sheng Zi said this, she suddenly remembered that there are many types of brothels on Liuhua Street, some are vulgar and cheap, and some are real romantic places, so she asked Xu Baiyan: "Did Mr. Wang ever say that Lu Jingye
Which brothel are you staying at?"
Xu Baiyan remained calm, but shook his head seemingly casually: "The prince wanted to tell me in detail, but I was still busy with my studies and entered the master's residence. Besides, I didn't know Lu Jing well, so how could I ask more questions?
?On the contrary, it’s rude.”
Princess Anqing glanced at Sheng Zi while snickering, and thought to herself: "Sister Sheng has always said that Lu Jing is a talented and virtuous young man. I think Lu Jing is the real one. As for whether he is virtuous or not..."
Sheng Zi frowned all the time after hearing Xu Baiyan's words.
She really didn't expect that a young man like Lu Jing would have the habit of drinking all night and staying in brothels.
"Moreover, Lu Jing has always been poor, but now he has to spend his salary on a brothel?"
Shengzi couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this.
But even at this moment, Sheng Zi still had doubts about Xu Baiyan's words.
She turned her head and thought for a while, and then said to herself: "There are many kinds of romantic places. If he goes to Shihua Pavilion, Heguang Residence, Hefeng Pavilion, just to drink wine and listen to music, it actually doesn't matter.
"
"It's just that... as a son-in-law, I'm afraid he will be severely punished just for going to the Shihua Pavilion."
