Chapter 83 How can ordinary teenagers enter the second floor?
)
In the small pavilion, a heater has been set up.
What was burned in the furnace was not the high-quality Huizhou charcoal commonly used by luxurious people, and the smoke produced had no aroma.
But at this moment, the other four people in the small pavilion had different expressions.
When Princess Anqing asked this question, her eyes briefly looked at Sheng Zi beside her, with some girlish complaints in her eyes.
Sheng Zi glanced at Lu Jing apologetically, only frowning and not looking at Princess Anqing.
Xu Baiyan was thoughtful and looked at Lu Jing quietly, as if waiting to see how he would answer.
Su Zhaoshi may have felt that Princess Anqing's words were rude, so he was about to say a few words to smooth things over.
Lu Jing nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Nan Heyu to be so famous that I am even famous for it."
He seemed to be retreating in order to advance, but there was no change in his face, and he was very calm when he spoke.
When Princess Anqing heard these words, her eyes still fell on Shengzi: "Shengzi, if there were other people at the banquet today, why didn't you know that they would be with me? I thought there would be only the four of us today, but now there are more
Come alone."
Sheng Zi's brows were still furrowed. Although Princess Anqing was usually a bit unruly, she was not so rude. I don't know what happened today, but she exposed someone's shortcomings in public.
And she didn't give in, and said casually: "As my host, I can invite whoever I want. Anqing, next time you are the host, don't invite anyone else."
Princess Anqing's eyes became more and more angry, but she did not refute Sheng Zi. She walked into the pavilion and sat on the main seat with her back to the garden.
Sheng Zi quietly smiled apologetically at Lu Jing and invited everyone to sit down.
At this moment, a moth, perhaps attracted by the charcoal fire, spread its wings and flew slowly over.
Anqing Princess Xu was angry, and waved her hand in annoyance.
Xu Baiyan looked calm and glanced at the moth gently.
In an instant, the moth disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
A breeze blew by, bringing with it a lot of cool air. Lu Jing was keenly aware of this scene, and he immediately understood that this extremely handsome Xu Baiyan was actually a Yuanshen monk with good cultivation.
Su Zhaoshi saw that there was some silence in the small pavilion.
I also saw that the maids waiting behind me had already heated up the sake and poured more for everyone.
He picked up the wine glass, his expression as warm as ever.
"Today's opportunity is too rare. Bai Yan has successfully entered the official career. In the future, he may be able to soar into the sky and live up to his ambitions."
Everyone toasted.
Su Zhaoshi drank it all in one gulp, and the maid standing behind him immediately presented him with a handkerchief.
Every move he made was noble. He took the towel and gently wiped the corners of his lips.
Then he looked at Xu Baiyan with some emotion and said, "I remember at that time, Princess Anqing and I were still neighbors, and we still lived on Tongyuan Street, which no longer exists."
Su Zhaoshi seems to be very good at taking care of other people's emotions.
Halfway through, he looked at Lu Jing again, and said in a slightly introducing tone: "At that time, Sheng Cifu had not yet set foot on the blue clouds. He was a censor Zhongcheng. Bai Yan also lived in the house of Anqing Princess and I.
In the alley behind the mansion.
Later, by chance, we gathered at the junction of four houses. An Qing and I both put up ladders on the wall, and they chatted with us in the corner of their own house.
This conversation lasted four or five years.
Unexpectedly, time flies so fast, and the naughty boys at that time have already grown up, each with their own shackles and their own ups and downs.
It's great that we can gather here together today and that the house can let me out."
When Su Zhaoshi spoke, his tone was so gentle, with nostalgia in his eyes.
As he spoke, Princess Anqing's eyes became even more filled with complaints about Sheng Zi.
The corners of Xu Baiyan's mouth were slightly raised, and his face was slightly glowing with silvery white light.
He also said with emotion: "At that time, under that thatched house, I always looked at the high west wall of the princess and Brother Zhaoshi. I didn't know why the house could be built so tall. When I stood under the wall, I always looked at it.
I have to raise my head to the limit to see you."
"Later, Uncle Ruzhou also rose to prominence, and his grand appearance moved to Changning Street, leaving Tongyuan Street only a ruined ashes.
And my mother, sister, and I built another thatched house among the ashes, and so on for another four or five years.
Now that I think about it, although those days were harder, they had their own fun, and I really miss them."
Xu Baiyan smiled softly, and Lu Jing also looked at him.
Only now did he realize that this handsome young man did not come from a wealthy family, and was not even a member of a poor family.
But for some reason, when Xu Baiyan said these words, Lu Jing felt that there was no smile in his eyes, only ice coldness.
It's like... he doesn't miss those hard days, he even hates them and hates them very much.
When everyone heard what he said, they were silent for two or three breaths.
Sheng Zi took the lead and said with a smile: "Bai Yan, not only have you become a famous teacher, but you have also been able to become an official. It can be regarded as a blessing after all the hardships.
With your talent, maybe one day, the genius in Taixuan Capital will also have your name."
Xu Baiyan smiled and shook his head, his face full of humility: "It's just good luck. I don't know how to go on in the future."
At this time, Princess Anqing may have heard the word "Tianjiao" from Sheng Zi. She glanced at Sheng Zi, then turned her head and asked Lu Jing, who had been listening carefully without saying a word: "Speaking of Tianjiao, when I come back this time
However, in just three days, I heard Nan Heyu's name no less than three times.
Even my elder brother, who has a cold personality, praised me many times.
Is Nan Heyu really that outstanding?"
Perhaps he was afraid that Lu Jing would be in trouble.
As soon as Princess Anqing finished speaking, Su Zhaoshi hurriedly said: "This Nan Heyu is less than nineteen years old now. Her spiritual cultivation is already extraordinary, and her swordsmanship is even more outstanding. In addition, she studied under Yuxingdao Luo
Mingyue, still a young girl, has already become famous all over the world.
Now, although her fame in the capital is not as good as that of several princes, not as good as Shaozhu Kingdom, not as good as Jing Wushuang, who was made a noble due to her military exploits, she can still be said to have an unparalleled future."
Xu Baiyan also nodded and smiled: "She is two years younger than me, but with such cultivation, she is truly a genius. Even my teacher often praises her."
Princess Anqing curled her lips, glanced at Shengzi, and said: "Since she is so extraordinary and wants to recruit someone, why not recruit Jing Wushuang, who once rode a horse for her to Fengsuhai? Why recruit..."
"Anqing!"
Just now, An Qing was suddenly interrupted by her already angry appearance. She frowned and her heroic spirit gathered together, making her a bit intimidating.
Princess Anqing's speech was interrupted by Sheng Zi's angry shouting, but her eyes became even more aggrieved. She curled her lips and snorted, and even had some tears in her eyes, but she blinked her eyes and did not shed any tears.
Look up at the sky.
Shengzi ignored her and said to Lu Jing apologetically: "Anqing, she usually..."
Lu Jing's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became deeper. He thought about it, shook his head towards Sheng Zi and said softly, "It doesn't matter."
Based on Lu Jing's character, he had already realized that Princess Anqing's repeated rude remarks were not directed at him... She looked at Sheng Zi frequently with complaints in her eyes, presumably because she was angry with Sheng Zi.
And she, the guest invited by Shengzi, became the tool for her to pour out her emotions.
Even so, Lu Jing already disliked the princess of Anqing very much. Now he stayed here, but he still wanted to save Sheng Zi's face.
Xu Baiyan had a smile on his face but said nothing.
Su Zhaoshi sighed in his heart and took the initiative to ask Lu Jing with a smile: "Shengzi came to my house as a guest a few days ago and said that Mr. Jing had already entered the library. I was still studying in the library when I was last year.
, now we can be considered in the same building."
"Mr. Jing, which courtyard of the library are you in? Which gentleman are you studying with?"
Princess Anqing did not react when she heard Lu Jing entering the library, but Xu Baiyan's eyes changed slightly when she looked at Lu Jing.
Sheng Zi also looked at Lu Jing and said with a smile: "After you went to the library, we rarely saw each other. Now that I think about it, even I don't know which gentleman you followed?"
Lu Jing was still sitting on the stone bench and did not hide anything. He replied: "I am not studying with you now. I am just excerpting classics in the Self-cultivation Tower."
"Slim tower?"
The others didn't react, but Su Zhaoshi's eyes lit up, he nodded quickly and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Jing to be so extraordinary at such a young age."
At this point, he added: "I told Sheng Zi a few days ago that my father is about to celebrate his birthday and I would like to trouble Mr. Jing to copy an orphan copy of cursive script for me."
"This unique copy comes from Taoshan. Taoist Shoushan is not willing to give it to me. He only allows me to copy one copy and return it after copying it. Mr. Jing's cursive writing is very extraordinary. If I can..."
Su Zhaoshi hadn't finished speaking yet.
At this time, Princess Anqing felt really strange. She was still holding the warm jade in her hand. She glanced at Sheng Zi and then at Su Zhaoshi, shook her head and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, you are getting more and more strange.
If you want to copy the book, just let me know. There are many gentlemen in my house, all of them are famous people with great reputations, but Su Zhaoshi still asked a young man to copy it for you?"
Sheng Zi took a deep breath, and even Su Zhaoshi, who always looked warm, frowned slightly.
At this time, Lu Jing smiled and slowly stood up.
Shengzi looked ugly and her eyes were a little anxious, so she stood up as well.
She was about to apologize to Lu Jing when she saw Lu Jing looking at her with soft eyes and shaking his head slowly.
For a moment, Shengzi didn't know what to say, so she could only stand where she was.
Lu Jing still maintained his grace, and the smile on his face was still full of spring breeze: "The wind in this small pavilion is too strong today, and Lu Jing's body is a little thin, so I have to say goodbye."
Su Zhaoshi no longer had the shame to ask Lu Jing to excerpt the original copy, so he just stood up and nodded to Lu Jing apologetically.
Princess Anqing was still unaware, lowering her head and playing with the warm jade in her hand.
Xu Baiyan casually nodded to Lu Ding, then went over to talk to Princess Anqing.
Lu Jing then left the pavilion and walked back the same way.
Sheng Zi followed Lu Jing without saying a word and sent him out.
Halfway out, Lu Jing turned around with a smile on his face and said something to Sheng Zi.
Shengzi stopped from a distance and looked at Lu Jing's back.
In the small pavilion, Su Zhaoshi still frowned and said: "Anqing, it's okay for you to be a bit unruly at ordinary times. It's because of your noble status.
But today, Lu Jing is Shengzi’s specially invited guest. If you are so rude, how will Shengzi handle herself?"
Princess Anqing didn't care: "I originally wanted to make Sheng Zi look embarrassed. It has been three days since I came back, but I have only seen her once.
On weekdays, she is busy going out and in and out with that little girl from the Lu family, and when she comes to visit my house, I take her with me, which is really annoying."
Su Zhaoshi shook his head and said: "If you have any complaints, just ask for permission. Besides, the princess in your house is ill, so how can she be so beautiful?"
"You took advantage of Lu Jing to vent your anger today. Once your anger is released, Shengzi loses all her dignity. Please invite Lu Jing again in the future..."
Princess Anqing was probably tired of Su Zhaoshi's remarks. She waved her hands and said with a frown on her face: "Why are you teaching me a lesson too? That Lu Jing is just the concubine of the Lu family. Now, even the eldest son cannot enter the Lu family.
Our circle, and he is a bride-in-law."
When Su Zhaoshi heard what Princess Anqing said, he became even more angry. He glanced at Xu Baiyan's eyes and said angrily: "Family status is naturally important, but it is not absolute. What did your words just now cause Bai Yan?"
Earth? Baiyan was not born in a noble house, and hasn’t he been playing with us for so many years now?”
Princess Anqing spoke harshly when she saw Su Zhao, and recalled the frosty look on her face when Sheng Zi went to see Lu Jing off. She felt a little unreasonable and timid in her heart.
But as a princess, she was used to being domineering and unruly, so she still refused to bow her head and said harshly: "Then Lu Jing is worthy of being compared with Bai Yan?
Bai Yan is an extraordinary Yuanshen monk who studied under famous masters. Now he has become an official at a young age. Where is he, Lu Jing?"
Su Zhaoshi said: "Lu Jing is a disciple of the library!"
Princess Anqing snorted coldly: "There are many disciples in the library. The one we should respect is the library, but not an ordinary library disciple."
Su Zhaoshi glanced at her: "Lu Jing is studying in the self-cultivation tower, and the self-cultivation tower..."
"On the second floor of the library."
"He is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he has already entered the second floor of the library. Can't he be called extraordinary?"
Princess Anqing raised her head and looked at Su Zhaoshi.
Xu Baiyan, who always looked calm and seemed unwilling to pay attention to Lu Jing's matter, also had a look of surprise on his face.
When he looked at Su Zhao carefully, he asked softly: "It's a bit rude to say this. I know about the recruitment of new members of the Duke of Nanguo Mansion, but the concubine of the Lu family that I heard about doesn't seem to have ever entered the library.
I just joined not long ago.
How can we enter the second floor in such a short time?"
"Brother Terutoki...this matter is a bit strange."
