Chapter 310: Xu Sheng's Promise, The Sound of Pipa
Subconsciously, Wang Qiong was about to retort.
Although Jia Lan's words were indeed beautiful, Wang Qiong had known his position for a long time, so he had already prepared sharp words to counterattack.
But the moment Wang Qiong met Jia Lan's eyes, her heart palpitations reappeared, as if her throat was being pinched and she couldn't speak.
"Okay, well said!"
The noble husband said hello, raised his hands to Jia Lan, and said: "I am Xu Wu of the Marquis of Yongping Mansion. The words of Jie Yuanlang just now really touched my heart!"
"It's actually the Xu family!"
"Didn't you say that people from the Xu family never participate in cultural gatherings?"
Everyone in Xiuzhu Pavilion was surprised, even Wang Qiong was stunned on the spot.
The appearance of the fifth master of the Xu family was obviously beyond his expectation.
After his investigation, it was found that only the people from the Sheng family here could be called friends of Jia Lan. He had researched the rest. They were all scholars from surrounding states who came to participate in cultural gatherings and had nothing to do with Jia Lan.
.
Although Jia Lan, the Jieyuan, is famous all over the world, in fact, because he rarely shows up, except for the students of Diecui Academy, people are not familiar with him.
This is why Wang Qiong chose Jia Lan to attack.
But now that the fifth master of the Xu family has spoken, the situation is different.
Sheng Changbai on the side said in surprise: "It turns out to be the fifth master of the Xu family! I'm Sheng Changbai of the Sheng family!"
"Sheng family?" The fifth master of the Xu family showed a somewhat incomprehensible expression, or the wife beside him thought of something and said something in his husband's ear. Then he suddenly realized and said: "Turns out they are relatives!"
Wang Qiong was shocked again after hearing this.
Relatives, how is this possible!?
Jia Lan also followed Chang Bai and saluted Xu Wuye and his wife, and information about Xu Wuye passed through his mind.
The fifth master of Xu, whose name is Lingkuan, is the fifth brother of Xu Lingyi, the current Marquis of Yongping. He holds the title of Dragon Guard General and married the adopted daughter of King Nan'an years ago.
Jia Lan's eyes wandered, and the person sitting next to Xu Wuye must be his wife, the head of Danyang County who was personally named by the Supreme Emperor.
"I have met the Lord of Danyang County." Jia Lan bowed his hands and saluted.
The county head was not related by blood to the King of Nan'an. His father was a military general who guarded Nanguan. During the Jiayou period, the chieftains rebelled. In order to cope with the increasingly severe situation in the north, the court had no time to look south. The King of Nan'an worked hard to quell the rebellion. Finally,
The father of the county lord of Lun Gong used the isolated city to withstand the siege of the rebels for half a year. As a result, he martyred the city and killed all his children. Only the county lord was left as an orphan. The emperor felt her loyalty and summoned her to the palace to raise her.
He personally issued an edict to select the fifth master of the Xu family, Marquis of Yongping, as the husband-in-law of the county lord.
The Sheng family and the Xu family are indeed relatives.
The old lady of the Sheng family is the legitimate daughter of the first Yongping Marquis. In terms of seniority, Changbai and others are the nephews of Xu Lingkuan's son.
Since the death of Sheng Hong's father, Mrs. Sheng has been staying in the south, and the Sheng family has even cut off private contact with the Yongping Marquis Xu family.
Danyang once heard from the old lady of the Xu family that when he was old, the old marquis always thought about the young girl who was married to the Sheng family, and asked his descendants to take good care of her. However, the Xu family also had a lot of chaos later, but he had no time to take care of it.<
/p>
Unexpectedly, two relatives would meet here by chance today.
Now that they have met, they cannot be rude. Changbai is leading a group of brothers and sisters to greet Xu Lingkuan and his wife.
Having so many nieces all at once made the somewhat careless fifth master of the Xu family obviously uncomfortable.
It was the Lord of Danyang County who came to the rescue for her husband: "Today's poetry gathering, I am just accompanying my husband. There is no need for Xie Yuanlang and you to be polite."
The county leader's voice is very soft, his behavior is dignified and generous, and there is no sense of arrogance at all, which gives people a very deep impression.
As expected, he is worthy of being the county master who was raised by the Supreme Lord. His every frown and smile show off his demeanor.
Among the three girls from the Sheng family, Mo Lan showed undisguised envy in her eyes and kept saying flattering words in an attempt to win the favor of the county lord. Ru Lan was also happy to see her new relatives, but when she saw Mo Lan
He jumped up and started scrambling again, and his face suddenly froze. Only Minglan looked as usual, and her attitude was natural and smooth.
Wang Qiong has completely restrained her voice at this time.
If it were just Jia Lan, he wouldn't be embarrassed even if the Sheng family was included.
But if the Yongping Marquis Mansion is added, it will be different.
If we say that the first among the military was the first in the founding of the People's Republic of China, then Duke Ning Rong certainly deserved it. Now, after the death of Xian Rongguo, Marquis Yongping is recognized as the first among the military.
When Chun Zhi moved to the southeast, civil unrest in the southwest, and the Japanese rebellion in Sanyang were all put down by this man who led his troops.
It was when Sengge Khan entered the army a few years ago. If Yongpinghou hadn't been stationed in Liaodong to intimidate Beidi and threaten the flanks of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the casualties in Beidi would have been even worse.
The Yongping Marquis Mansion can now be said to have won the favor of the Holy Family, and more importantly, the Xu family's reputation among scholars.
There was an incident in the Xu family and the family was almost ransacked. Xu Lingyi came out of the blue to revive the Xu family. From then on, the Xu family acted cautiously from beginning to end. They were particularly strict with the children in the family and were willing to do good. For more than ten years, they continued to
He funded a group of poor scholars to fight fiercely in the examination room, which greatly improved his reputation among scholars.
Compared to the Rongguo Mansion, which has mixed reputations, compared with the Xu family of Yongping Hou, which has a very good reputation, coupled with Jia Lan's seemingly invisible gaze...
Wang Qiong could only keep silent.
A burst of silk and bamboo orchestral sounds came, and the fifth master of the Xu family changed his expression. He turned around, stared at the lake with bright eyes, and murmured: "Coming, coming! It's about to start!" Xu Wuye closed his eyes and listened, moving his fingers along the melody. At this time, he no longer looked like the commander of the Dragon Guard, nor like the young master of the Hou Mansion, but a man intoxicated in the melodious music.
Enthusiasts.
The three orchid expressions behind Changbai suddenly became embarrassed, and even Changbai was a little stunned.
Seeing Jia Lan and others staring at Xu Lingkuan with an incomprehensible expression, the head of Danyang County smiled and explained: "My master loves listening to opera the most. On weekdays, he is not even willing to go to Daying Dianmao. He only likes to bump into each other.
Entering the pear garden..."
Jia Lan showed an expression of "I see" and hurriedly said a few words of apology.
"It's okay!" The Lord of Danyang County had just said half a sentence when a burst of pipa sounds came like jade beads on a disk.

Xu Lingkuan shouted: "It's the Song family's pipa!"
The whole person looked so drunk.
After hearing this, everyone calmed down and listened carefully.
Jia Lan also calmed down and listened carefully to the sound of pipa playing from the lake.
A layer of light mist appeared on the lake, and under the illumination of countless lanterns, it was decorated like a veil, making it dreamlike.
The Song master held the pipa in her hand, closed her eyes and played attentively. Her fingers jumped lightly on the pipa strings, like butterflies dancing among the flowers, playing a beautiful melody.
The sound of the pipa rises and falls, sometimes passionately, sometimes deeply, like a wonderful symphony.
After the song was played, everyone was still intoxicated and unable to recover for a long time.
"Madam, the Song family's pipa is truly well-deserved!" Xu Lingkuan turned around and held the county master's hand and said.
Although his voice was deliberately kept low, anyone could hear the excitement in it.
The county lord smiled at her husband and nodded obediently: "You are indeed very good at playing, even more so than the palace."
Jia Lan looked at the fifth master of the Xu family and his wife, but his eyes were far away.
Unexpectedly, the brother of Yongping Hou Xu Lingyi, who is now regarded as the first general in the army, is actually a person who loves Liyuan art.
As a wife, the Danyang County Lord did not seem to be dissatisfied with her husband's "not doing his job properly". Jia Lan could see that the eyes of the County Lord when he looked at Xu Lingkuan were full of doting.
For a moment, Xu Lingkuan's whole body made Jia Lan think of Jia Baoyu unconsciously.
Whether it's in the original book or in reality.
They are all very similar.
From the fifth master of the Xu family in front of him, Jia Lan seemed to see Jia Baoyu in the future.
Boys are always growing up.
Although Jia Baoyu still looks like a child at heart and has never matured, he has never stopped growing.
And sometimes, growth happens in the blink of an eye and happens inadvertently.
Seeing the harmonious appearance of the fifth master of the Xu family and the lord of Danyang County, Jia Lan couldn't help but admire Mrs. Shi's unique discernment.
With Jia Baoyu's family background, appearance and talent, even if he is just a wealthy and idle person, it is certainly not difficult to discuss marriage.
The hard part is finding the right person.
It has to be said that the old lady really doted on Baoyu, and she withstood a lot of pressure for him in the marriage, and kept Daiyu with Baoyu. You must know that there are many people in Shenjing who have ideas about Baoyu's marriage, even the emperor's relatives.
The "Great Fantasy Immortal" Zhang Taoist came forward to inquire about Baoyu's marriage.
The old lady knew in her heart that Jia Baoyu would not worry about finding a wife, but among the many candidates, only Daiyu and Baoyu were the most suitable.
