"Uncle, I have also heard about Liang Xiao's deeds. He is at odds with the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. If you invite him here, I'm afraid Miss Nangong will complain." A young man reminded.
Zhuge Hui frowned and said, "It's not a problem with Marquis Zhenyuan. What I'm worried about is that the two Duanmu family members will isolate Liang Xiao because of Nangong Ning's divorce from Liang Xiao."
Everyone was silent.
The Duanmu family plays a decisive role in the literary world of the capital. Every doctor who holds the Five Classics must be a member of the Duanmu family. More than half of the Confucian scholars in the capital are disciples of the Duanmu family.
"Why don't you ask Liang Xiao to come?" a girl from the Zhuge family suggested.
Hearing this, Mu Qinxue was angry.
Although she is Zhuge Hui's disciple, she is just a guest now and cannot be the master.
Moreover, she cannot show her obvious affection for Liang Xiao in front of others.
Zhuge Hui was about to respond when a cold voice came from behind him.
"Grandpa is a gentleman respected by everyone in the world. How can he do something that is not true because of a young man?"
Everyone followed the sound and their eyes lit up: "Xiaoyun is here!"
"Xiaoyun!" Mu Qinxue was surprised and happy.
The autumn wind is gradually picking up, and in front of me is a girl in white clothes fluttering.
Beautiful face, gentle eyes.
Although he is only 28 years old, he has an intellectual beauty that surpasses his peers.
It is none other than Zhuge Hui’s granddaughter and the second most talented woman in the capital, Zhuge Yun!
Among the talented women in the capital, Mu Qinxue and Zhuge Yun are the most talented, followed by Nangong Ning.
Zhuge Yun, who was originally qualified to be tied with Mu Qinxue as the most talented woman, took the initiative to take a back seat to second place, directly pushing Nangong Ning from second to third place.
"Grandpa, sister Qinxue, Xiaoyun is so polite."
After Zhuge Yun arrived, he saluted Zhuge Hui and Mu Qinxue respectively.
Zhuge Hui asked: "What do you think of Xiaoyun?"
Zhuge Yun suggested: "I have heard about the deeds of Marquis Lanling, and because of Marquis Lanling's heroic sacrifice for his country, grandpa should give Liang Xiao a chance. But I also understand grandpa's concerns. It's better to let Liang Xiao do it by then."
Sister Qinxue and I are hosting the banquet. Grandpa is working hard for the country and doesn’t have to worry about the personal grudges of a few descendants."
Mu Qinxue nodded and said, "Teacher, this is a good idea."
Zhuge Hui thought for a moment and finally agreed.
"With Xiaoyun and Qin Xue presiding over, those talented people have to work hard to perform, so who has the time to care about Liang Xiao!"
Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.
But Mu Qinxue became more and more uncomfortable the more she listened.
But she felt relieved when she thought that Liang Xiao had no social contacts in the capital's literary circles.
Zhuge Yun took Mu Qinxue back to her boudoir, and then she looked worried.
"Sister Qinxue, I'm actually not in the capital during this period and don't know much about the situation. I just don't want my grandpa to worry about such trivial matters. But Liang Xiao has offended the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion and the Duanmu family, yet he still has to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
, I’m afraid he’ll bring trouble on himself, he...is he really talented?”
Mu Qinxue replied: "I don't know this person very well, but he has written a few poems recently, which I think are pretty good."
After Zhuge Yun listened to Mu Qinxue reciting the poem, her beautiful eyes lit up: "Did he write it?"
"Not only that, he also came up with my 'Three Lights of Sun, Moon and Stars', four poems of elegance!"
"Four Poems on Elegance? It is indeed absolute. Why didn't I think of it? In this case, we should give him a chance." Zhuge Yun praised.
Mu Qinxue smiled and agreed, feeling secretly happy in her heart.
With Zhuge Yun's support, Liang Xiao should not be isolated!
But Mu Qinxue doesn't plan to tell Zhuge Yun about herself and Liang Xiao yet.
This most talented daughter of the Zhuge family was the most erudite and talented descendant in the history of the Zhuge family. She was knowledgeable about the past and present, extremely intelligent, and was deeply appreciated by the empress. However, she did not enter the palace as the head female official because she was still young.
Once Zhuge Yun knew about her affair with Liang Xiao, he would definitely not take care of Liang Xiao when he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in order to avoid suspicion.
Today, the Prime Minister's Mansion is crowded with guests.
All the well-known talents and talented women in the capital were present, and everyone was full of expectations.
It is already a great honor to be able to have a few words with Zhuge Hui.
If you can gain his favor and praise, your success in the future will be a sure thing!
Liang Xiao and Duan Yunxiu's carriages stopped outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Feiyun was responsible for entering the mansion to make contact.
After Duan Yunxiu got out of the car, he reminded Liang Xiao: "Our prime minister is an upright man, and he can also read faces."
Liang Xiao pouted and said, "How accurate is it?"
"Eight or nine are inseparable from ten." Duan Yunxiu replied.
Liang Xiao looked surprised.
Duan Yunxiu reminded me again: "My identity is sensitive and it is not convenient for me to show my face in front of others, as you know."
Liang Xiao said: "Thank you very much, Eunuch Lin. I will act according to circumstances. I will tell people what they say and tell ghosts when I see ghosts."
"No! You have to speak human language to everyone you meet!" Duan Yunxiu snorted.
Seeing Liang Xiao smile and nod, Duan Yunxiu added: "One more thing, don't tell anyone about your martial arts skills yet. I thought of a good idea, which may allow you to serve as a military attaché as a scholar in the future, so I agreed.
Your wish to serve the country by joining the army."
Liang Xiao nodded blankly and looked at Jiang Fuxue. The little girl looked innocent.
Feiyun soon came out with a scholar and winked at Duan Yunxiu.
"My Excellency, Zhuge Cheng, is Mr. Liang Xiaoliang? Nice to meet you!"
After the scholar bowed to Liang Xiao, he led everyone into the mansion.
Duan Yunxiu took Feiyun to say goodbye to Liang Xiao and went to the other corridor to find Mu Qinxue.
Zhuge Cheng reminded in a low voice: "Master Liang, the talented men and women from the Duanmu family and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion are also in our house. I hope you can take care of them."
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't like to make trouble."
Zhuge Cheng then reassured and said: "The conversation and banquet have not started yet. Mr. Liang can wander around here as he pleases. Someone will come to remind you later."
After Zhuge Cheng left, Liang Xiao took Jiang Fuxue to pick a stone chair and sit down.
"Brother, don't you want to get to know the talented people in the capital?" Jiang Fuxue asked.
Liang Xiao whispered: "Actually, my brother is not interested in this business at all, but I just can't bear to ruin Eunuch Lin's business."
"Brother always accommodates himself for the sake of his relatives and friends..."
Jiang Fuxue suddenly turned pale as she spoke.
Liang Xiao quickly noticed the changes in Jiang Fuxue and hurriedly asked: "Is Xueer feeling unwell?"
Jiang Fuxue shook her head, looking nervous.
It turned out to be a young man in black looking over here, his brows furrowed.
It is none other than Gongsun Wuji!
When Gongsun Wuji saw Jiang Fuxue sitting next to Liang Xiao, he immediately became furious.
Liang Xiao followed Jiang Fuxue's gaze and looked towards the west door. When he saw the person coming, he asked, "Xue'er? Do you know that person?"
"Brother, that person is a bad guy!"
"How bad?"
"It's extremely vicious..."
"Extremely vicious? Are they your parents' enemies?" Liang Xiao heard Jiang Fuxue's voice tremble a little, and immediately lowered his face and stared at Gongsun Wuji coldly.
Gongsun Wuji sensed Liang Xiao's hostility and was shocked and angry, cursing secretly in his heart.
"Damn it, this guy kidnapped my sister and he still has the nerve to look at me like that?"
The hostility between Jiang Fuxue's two "brothers" gradually heated up as they looked at each other.
