The Bai family's back garden "Lantian Garden" is also very famous among the major mansions in Yushunfang.
"When the sun warms in Lantian, jade produces smoke." In ancient mythology, Lantian is a treasure land where gods plant and raise jade.
And "a gentleman is as good as jade" is the praise given to himself by the disciples of Dayin Cultural Religion.
Bai Changkong's twenty-some grandsons usually live together in the "Lantian Garden".
His more than twenty grandsons are also very famous as 'young talents' in the literati circle of Haojing. They can be called 'everyone is like a dragon', and they are all 'young gentlemen' who are as beautiful as jade.
This garden is named "Lantian", which means that this is where the Bai family "raises jade", "plants jade" and "cultivates the virtues of gentlemen in future generations".
There are dense streams in Lantian Garden, and the monasteries are scattered among the streams and rockeries.
It's freezing cold, and the flowers and plants everywhere have withered.
But the yard is densely covered with green bamboos and green pines. The cold wind blows, and the pines and bamboos sway and make a rustling sound. Clumps of snow keep falling, and they fall on the backs of several big dogs shivering.
.
These big dogs are completely black except for a little bit of silver on their noses.
This is the exotic hunting dog "Star Dog" from the sandbanks of the West Pole. It is the favorite of the wealthy princes in Xiyouzhou. A puppy can be sold for a sky-high price of one thousand gold in Xiyouzhou.
In a sense, these "Xingxing Dog" puppies are as valuable as the "gentlemen" whom Lu Qian calls "a promise worth a thousand gold."
Of course, these star dogs in Bai Changkong's mansion didn't cost him a single copper.
In the Imperial Academy of Haojing, there was a prince and prince from Xiyouzhou who were studying. As a student, it was natural for him to give his master some hounds as pets, and there was no such thing as 'bribery'.
The white mist loomed, and Lu Qian walked slowly through Lan Tianyuan.
Several star dogs with extremely sensitive sense of smell, which could smell the scent of scorpions and poisonous snakes even though they were more than ten miles apart in the desert, raised their heads and twitched their silver-white noses vigorously.
They smelled a very faint scent of strangers.
They bared their teeth and were about to roar.
A few yellow dog hairs were exposed from the gaps between Lu Qian's fingers.
He shook his fingers gently, and the scent of the big yellow dog spread with the cold wind.
The bodies of several star dogs suddenly tensed up, then their limbs relaxed, and they crawled on the ground obediently.
Lu Qian walked past several star dogs and patted the head of one of them affectionately: "Good boy, you are such a good boy."
He passed by a monastery.
Candles are lit in the monastery.
One of Bai Changkong's grandchildren was fighting with a pretty maid goblin in the study.
Lu Qian overheard some movement in the monastery, curled his lips, and walked forward quickly.
In another monastery, one of Bai Changkong's grandsons was fighting with two maids and goblins.
In a monastery a little further away, Bai Changkong's two grandchildren were fighting with two maid fairies at the same time.
A little further away, Lu Qian passed by a monastery. In the study, Bai Changkong, a childish-looking grandson who had not yet been assigned a maid because he was still young, was mingling with his book boy. He was also in the study room.
Goblins fight.
"This, the family background is really amazing!"
Lu Qian was so shocked that he ran across the entire Lantian Garden as if running away.
"A gentleman is like jade, these are the humble gentlemen of the third generation of the Bai family!"
However, it's understandable.
This is the current atmosphere in the Dayin Dynasty.
‘If you are a true celebrity, you should be a romantic’!
Among the great sages, wise men, handsome men and talented people inside and outside the court of Dayin, which one is not a debt of romance?
Or even, romantic disease?
It was cold and windy outside, with light snow falling from the clouds.
There was a violent storm indoors, with the sound of wind and rain coming and going.
Lu Qian crossed the Lantian Garden and came to the sixth courtyard of the Bai family, where there was a beautiful five-story building.
In this beautiful building, the first floor is the residence of servants and mothers, the second floor is the maid's room, the third floor is the study room and the lady's boudoir, the fourth floor is the studio, embroidery room, chess room, tea room, and the fifth floor is a huge space.
, there are pieces of guqin, guzheng, jade flute, bamboo flute and other musical instruments hanging on the walls, mixed with some swords in colorful ancient sharkskin sheaths.
In the middle of the fifth floor stands a guqin that is full of green and jade-like clouds, almost flying out of the air.
Wearing a long white dress, with long hair hanging loose, her pretty face is not painted with makeup, and there is no rouge on her lips. Her face is a bit too white. With the white dress and long hair, Bai Lu has a "female ghost" style.
, sitting upright next to the piano platform, lightly hooking his jade fingers, waving the sound of the piano as clear as the gurgling mountain spring.
Lu Qian walked up the stairs.
A light white mist enveloped the entire show building, blocking his figure and isolating the creaking sound of the stairs under his feet.
He was like a ghost, standing quietly outside the piano room on the fifth floor.
It's freezing outside, but there are two three-legged brass stoves in the piano room on the fifth floor. Each stove is filled with hundreds of kilograms of top-quality animal charcoal. The fragrance is overflowing and the firepower is full.
The piano room is as warm as a summer day.
Bai Lu only wore a long gauze skirt, but she still felt hot.
Several windows in the piano room were slightly opened, allowing the cold wind to pass through gently, taking away the heat in the room and lowering the temperature to a comfortable level as warm as spring.
Bai Lu closed her eyes slightly and played the guqin intoxicatedly.
The sound of the piano is clear and pleasant to the ear.
Lu Qian didn't understand what the music was, but it was really nice.
He stood quietly outside the window, listening to the sound of Bai Lu's piano, and at the same time, he unscrupulously looked at the other person in the piano room through the gap in the window, a young man in a brocade robe with a graceful bearing.
Bai Lu is a girl who is not yet married.
At this moment, it is already late at night.
In her beautiful boudoir, there was actually a young man staying.
In Dayin, even in the home of ordinary civilians and the home of a eldest girl who has not left the court, her family cannot tolerate such a thing.
In a country with conservative folk customs, an unmarried girl who has a secret meeting with a man in the middle of the night will be put in a pig cage.
Not to mention the family of a great sage like Bai Changkong.
Bai Changkong is famous for his "rituals" in culture and education, and he governs "ancient rituals", which are the most stringent and rigid "ancient rituals".
In the 'ancient rituals', let alone such ridiculous things as a big girl meeting a man in the middle of the night, such as 'men and women do not sit together for seven years', 'my sister-in-law is about to drown and my brother-in-law cannot help', and all kinds of harsh 'etiquette'
It's terrifying.
But Bai Changkong's granddaughter was alone with a man in the room in the middle of the night!
Tsk tsk!
Lu Qian kept shaking his head, looking at the man.
I have to admit that this young man's 'appearance' is excellent.
If Lu Qian feels like a solid and towering mountain, then this young man is like a piece of beautiful jade.
Moreover, this young man is a piece of ‘city-linking jade’ that has been carefully crafted by a master craftsman!
The acquired good training has made this young man graceful, dignified, and perfect in every move and smile, giving him a "priceless" beauty!
At this moment, the young man sat quietly opposite Bai Shuang, with his hands gently placed on his legs, smiling, squinting his eyes slightly, and listening intently to Bai Shuang's piano music.
He has an excellent demeanor, and he sits there quietly, giving people a sense of "flawless" dignity.
He even makes people feel that he can sit here and listen to someone's performance. This is the highest evaluation of someone's musical skills!
After the song was played, the sound of the piano was still echoing in the piano room. Bai Lu opened her eyes and sighed softly.
The young man smiled, raised his hands, clapped softly and praised: "Weishuang's piano skills have improved again. Alas, with such heavenly and fairy music, there are only three or five people in Haojing who can compete with Weishuang."
"
Bai Lu sighed softly. She looked at the young man and pulled out a small pure gold dagger from somewhere. With a "choking" sound, she cut the strings of the piano in one stroke.
The taut strings played and hit Bai Lu on the back of her hand, and soon a bloody red mark appeared on the back of her hand.
"Why, my music will be listened to by such useless people in the future?"
Bai Lu looked at the young man with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I would rather break my fingers, then..."
The young man stood up, walked slowly to Bai Lu with a perfect smile, and gently pressed his hands on Bai Lu's shoulders.
Lu Qian immediately shook his head.
Darling, Bai Luhe, according to your grandfather's 'ancient etiquette', if you are not married yet, but this strange man touches your body, both of your arms will be cut off!
Moreover, what did Bai Lu say?
Would she rather break ten of her fingers than let some loser listen to her play the piano?
Lu Qian touched his nose.
That piece of shit couldn't be you, could it?
If both parties are married, then the wife plays the piano for her husband. Isn't this a very elegant and normal daily life between husband and wife?
Ha, ha ha!
The young man's actions became even more excessive. He gently stroked Bai Lu's long hair, and his voice became gentler: "Weishuang, you also know that this is just a temporary measure."
"It was my fault, Zhu Yu, that I accidentally made you pregnant."
"You know, I, the Zhu family, are descendants of Miao people who are cultural saints. I have a strict family tradition, and all the elders in the clan are selfless and selfless. You have been pregnant for nearly three months. If you and I get married, given my status in Dayin, the Zhu family will
, the wedding etiquette alone cannot be completed in less than eight months."
"It's impossible for you not to see people before you get married. If you show your ambition..."
"When the time comes, if your reputation is flawless, the elders in the clan will definitely be unfavorable to you, and even my status in the clan will be greatly affected."
"But as long as you marry the lucky guy who is engaged to you...he is engaged to you, and in a small family, the marriage is hasty, and no one can gossip. Haha, he will be drunk in a few days at most.
Then he fell into the river and died unfortunately."
"You're a shabby boy, you can't handle your good fortune, and you died unexpectedly after your marriage. Who can say you're wrong? The emperor's eldest princess, the princesses three generations ago, and even a few princesses
,Aren’t they all like this?”
"Don't mention that the current Queen Mother remarried the Emperor after her three husbands died!"
"Tsk, tsk, three consecutive husbands couldn't handle her blessings, so she married the queen. Within a few years, the current queen mother was in charge of politics behind the curtain, holding the power of the court. tsk, tsk, who wouldn't be amazed by this blessing?"
"He's dead, you're pregnant, you're sad, you're staying at home, and you're raising your baby with peace of mind, who can pick the one who's not?"
"A few months later, you were in an unstable mood and the fetus was born prematurely, but you worked hard to raise the child. Moreover, this child Yuxue is smart and has been known as a 'child prodigy' since he was a child. This only shows your difficulty and hard work!"
"In three years, I, as well as your elders, will build momentum for you. You will definitely have a reputation as a 'loyal' and 'virtuous' person."
Zhu Yu smiled leisurely and gently stroked Bai Lu's long hair.
"A 'virtuous' and 'virtuous' widow with a 'child prodigy' son and the granddaughter of Chief Bai Shan... is more than enough to be my equal wife!"
Zhu Yu gently comforted Bai Lu: "Don't worry, my father already knows about you and me, and he is extremely happy. After all, my family has been passed down by the same family for five consecutive generations. Now that you and I have a child, I
If father hadn't been in the way of those elders, he would have wished to take you home in person."
"My father asked me to tell you, don't worry, everything is arranged properly. I, my Zhu family, will definitely not let you suffer any injustice!"
"After your cheap husband falls into the river, it will be easy and convenient for me to go to your place. What's the difference between you and me and a real couple?"
Outside the window, Lu Chen exhaled a cloud of cold air from his heart.
That’s all, ‘happy to be a father’.
Just a few days after getting married, he fell into a river and died after drinking?
It’s enough to die, but also to be taken over by others?
