"Master Xing has admitted the wrong person. This is Liang Xiao, the son of the late Lanling Marquis of Great Zhou Dynasty."
Zhuge Cheng quickly explained.
"Liang Xiao?"
Xing Feng was quite surprised. He looked at Liang Xiao who was smiling at him and said, "Sorry, I thought you were Mr. Jiang Zuozhuo because of your extraordinary bearing."
When everyone heard this, they were surprised again.
Extraordinary bearing?
Nangong Ning looked at Xing Feng, then at his lover Duanmu Yunqing, with dissatisfaction written all over his face.
"Yun Qing has a dignified appearance and a graceful demeanor. How different is he from a philistine like Liang Xiao!"
When Duanmu Yunqing heard Nangong Ning's words, his face was also unhappy, and he was a little more suspicious of Mr. Xing's eyes in front of him.
However, Xing Feng's reputation was too great, and he was sent as an envoy to Dazhou on the orders of the Emperor of Chu. Even the Duanmu family had to give him some slack. Duanmu Yunqing, like his brother Duanmu Yuncheng, did not dare to speak out for a while.
.
Duanmu Yuncheng's eyes flickered, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
That song "Autumn Poems" is now full of controversy.
He finally arranged rumors and made people doubt that the first two lines of this poem were actually written by him and not by Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao was just a follower of the dog's tail.
"Young Master Xing is so complimentary." Liang Xiao bowed and said in return.
Xing Feng was about to say something more when the attendant beside him suddenly whispered a few words.
"I hope to visit you someday."
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Xing Feng hurriedly left a sentence, turned around and left with his entourage.
Duanmu Yuncheng stared at Liang Xiao and sneered: "Some people just have a lookable face, but in essence they are just ordinary people in the market, and it is difficult to be elegant!"
Everyone around agreed.
Zhuge Cheng frowned and was about to say something fair, but was stopped by Liang Xiao.
"Master Liang?" Zhuge Cheng was stunned and looked at Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao just smiled, glanced at everyone, and pulled Jiang Fuxue to sit back down.
Zhuge Cheng understood and looked at him with admiration. He also sat down and chatted with him.
Liang Xiao's indifference made Duanmu Yuncheng, who was making insinuations about him in public, feel like he had punched cotton wool, and lost his temper for a moment.
"He was just lucky enough to get Mr. Xing to admit his mistake. Don't ignore it!"
Duanmu Yunqing said and led everyone to the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhuge Cheng glanced at them, feeling a little uneasy, but did not pursue them.
"Sorry for causing trouble to Brother Zhuge." Liang Xiao said.
Zhuge Cheng shook his head repeatedly: "I don't care, and I can see that your character is not bad, and you are definitely not as bad as the rumors. Mr. Xing can mistake you for Mr. Cheng Zhuo, which means that he recognizes your extraordinaryness.
But I don’t understand why you want to go into business?”
Seeing Liang Xiao hesitate to speak, Zhuge Cheng smiled and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, so don't worry about it. In fact, businessmen are not all profit-seeking. If you can reach the level of an imperial merchant in the future, you will also serve the country."
Liang Xiao thanked Zhuge Cheng with his hands, and he also looked at Zhuge Cheng with admiration. The three of them just chatted and waited.
Jiang Fuxue was the happiest.
The number one prodigy in Da Chu can tell how extraordinary his brother is at a glance!
Xing Feng returned to his seat in the inner courtyard. After sitting down, he saw that there were no outsiders around, so he asked his entourage: "Why did you ask me to leave just now?"
The entourage replied: "This Liang Xiao has a bad reputation in the literary circles of the capital. There is no need for the young marquis to go through this troubled water for him."
Xing Feng frowned and said seriously: "In addition to Zhuo Mingfeng, there are such heroes in the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are indifferent to joy and anger, and have a calm demeanor. They are not inferior to my emperor."
The two attendants were surprised.
"Not under my emperor? I heard that this person's late father was wronged, so why don't we recruit this person?"
Xing Feng shook his head and said: "If he was outside the capital, the recruitment would be a matter of course. But here is the emperor's feet. His father was wronged and his house was confiscated, but he returned to the capital. At present, the relationship between the two countries is a top priority. In any case, it cannot be done
Mention the solicitation again to avoid damaging the relationship between the two countries."
"The young Marquis is worried that the Empress of Zhou has taken him for her own use?" the entourage suddenly wondered.
Xing Feng just nodded, his eyes full of regret.
Gongsun Wuji, who was resting with Zhuo Mingfeng, also heard that Xing Feng mistook Liang Xiao for Zhuo Mingfeng and was amazed.
"Sure enough, heroes think alike. He can mistake Liang Xiao for you, which shows that he also thinks Liang Xiao is a hero..."
Zhuo Mingfeng said: "Even your fourth sister can follow him wholeheartedly. According to your family, this son can be regarded as inheriting destiny."
Gongsun Wuji nodded slightly and did not refute.
Zhuo Mingfeng reminded: "As I said before, call your third sister over to take care of this son's affairs. While Liang Xiao is still white, you can think about it again."
"No!" Gongsun Wuji couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Zhuo Mingfeng fell into silence, his face seemed to be full of helplessness.
Gongsun Wuji saw it and was equally helpless.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters and do not care about small profits, but his little sister is already willing to die for Liang Xiao. If he takes advantage of his precious third sister again...
"Young Master, Mr. Zhuo, Xing Feng, son of the Marquis Dingguo of Chu, is here to visit."
After hearing the report from their subordinates, Gongsun Wuji and Zhuo Mingfeng immediately stood up to greet them.
"Nice to meet you! Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times!"
Heroes from both countries gather here.
But strictly speaking, Zhuo Mingfeng joined the Gongsun family. As the local emperor of Bashu, the Gongsun family only belonged to the Zhou Dynasty in name, but was actually an independent political power.
The three of them had a great time talking to each other, especially Zhuo Mingfeng and Xing Feng, who seemed to regret meeting each other so late.
"I mistakenly identified Liang Xiao as Your Excellency earlier. I'm really sorry." Xing Feng apologized.
Zhuo Mingfeng waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I also think this boy is extraordinary."
Xing Feng smiled and nodded, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.
Gongsun Wuji, who was on the side, felt a sense of crisis in his heart: his little sister seemed to be following the person who should least be following him.
Mu Qinxue was chatting in Zhuge Yun's boudoir when Lin'er quietly sent a message, informing Liang Xiao about Xing Feng's incident.
"Mr. Xing admitted the wrong person?" Zhuge Yun was a little surprised.
Duan Yunxiu's eyebrows were filled with joy, and cute dimples appeared on his face.
"You see, heroes cherish heroes. The Prime Minister must also know about this!"
Mu Qinxue suppressed the joy and excitement in her heart, pretended to be calm, and reminded: "Your Highness, Princess, please remind Your Majesty to be careful. Our talents in Great Zhou cannot be recruited by Great Chu!"
"That's natural!" Duan Yunxiu raised his eyebrows in anticipation.
Only Zhuge Yun had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Sister Qin Xue, should we go and meet Liang Xiao first? I'm very curious."
Mu Qinxue said quickly: "The banquet is about to start. If you go to him alone now, let the talented people at the scene know that Liang Xiao is the target of public criticism..."
Zhuge Yun thought it right, but he was still a little anxious and said: "Go and inform my grandfather to advance the banquet time. I can't wait to see how many outstanding people there will be this year."
Zhuge Hui, who was recuperating, received Zhuge Yun's request and did not object.
As the bell of the Prime Minister's Mansion rang, the banquet began.
