This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 120: Becoming famous through writing a book, the thoughts of the Jia sisters

In the evening, the sun sets in the west.

After Luo Zijun finished his medicinal bath, he changed into new clothes and came to the front yard.

The kite brought a sumptuous dinner.

Today's dinner also includes a light red broth.

Before Luo Zijun got close, he smelled an alluring fragrance.

Zhiyuan explained, "This was specially sent by the Third Miss. I heard that it was a prey that the Second Young Master hunted in Cangyun Mountain outside the city. It's a very big one. The Third Miss said she sent it to the Young Master to replenish his body."

"Cangyun Mountain?"

Luo Zijun's heart moved, and he looked at the meat in the soup bowl, thinking secretly: Could it be monster meat?
If it is really monster meat, then the Bai family is really wealthy.

Many warriors in the city may not be able to eat monster meat, and even if they can, they are reluctant to eat it.

I didn't expect that a mere teacher in their house could have such a good meal.

Of course, the main reason was that the third young lady was particularly generous to him.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Zhiyuan, thank the Third Miss for me."

Zhiyuan nodded and asked, "Sir, are you free tomorrow night? Miss San said that a friend of hers is having a birthday tomorrow and invited her to a party. There will be many talented men and women there, and Miss San wants to invite you to go with her."

Luo Zijun hesitated for a moment after hearing this and asked, "In the inner city, or in the outer city? Or, outside the city?"

If he was outside the city, he would never go there again.

He went out of the city twice, and was fooled by the female thief both times. He was really scared.

Even if it wasn't a temple, he wouldn't dare go there again.

Zhiyuan said crisply, "She is in the inner city, in the mansion of Marquis Bowang. She is the eldest daughter of Marquis Bowang."

Inner city?
After Luo Zijun heard this, he was relieved and said, "Okay, then tell Miss Three that I will go with her tomorrow night."

"Well, I will go tell the Third Miss now."

After getting the reply, Zhiyuan left immediately.

Luo Zijun looked at the light red broth in the bowl and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Since you have received someone's kindness, you have to do some things even if you don't want to.

Favors are mutual.

Besides, the third young lady was really nice to him.

He, Xiaohuan, as well as his sister and brother-in-law, are now living under the same roof again.

Try to give face to others as much as you can.

Xiao Huan asked in confusion, "Sir, why did Miss Three invite you to her friend's party?"

Luo Zijun sat down at the stone table and said, "Since there are so many talented men and women participating, it is inevitable that we will add some fun and interest with poetry and songs. As a lady of the Bai Mansion, you represent the face of the Bai Mansion, so naturally you don't want to be outdone by others."

Xiao Huan understood immediately: "I know, no wonder many nobles have many powerful staff in their houses, just to give advice inside the house and help the master gain face outside."

Then he smiled and said, "Young Master is very powerful now. He is the staff of the third lady of the Duke's Mansion."

While eating, Luo Zijun said, "Xiao Huan is amazing too. She is the maidservant who accompanies the bed of the third lady's staff in the Duke's Mansion."

"Pfft..."

Xiao Huan chuckled and said happily, "Yeah, the young master is amazing, and so is this servant! Both the master and the mistress are amazing!"

"You are the only one who can talk and eat."

"I am not hungry."

"Why, do you want to steal the things I hid at night again?"

"Hehe...I won't eat secretly tonight, but I will eat secretly tomorrow night."

Luo Zijun ignored her and lowered his head to eat, thinking about the time when his soul left his body and possessed the white cat to practice tonight.

After dinner.

After washing up, I returned to the room.

After the little maid came in, she got on the bed, blinked her eyes, and was eager to try: "Sir, I don't seem to... it doesn't hurt anymore..."

"Go to sleep obediently. I have something else to do tonight."

"Oh, tomorrow night then."

The little girl didn't force it anymore, giggled, and got into the quilt.

Outside the window, the night is getting darker.

After the little girl fell asleep, Luo Zijun waited for a while before sitting on the bed and regaining consciousness.

This time, it was easier to leave the body.

With a thought, his soul instantly broke away and flew onto the roof.

After walking around the room, he walked out through the wall.

Unexpectedly, just as he arrived in the corridor, a gust of night wind blew, and he suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over his body. His whole body was shaking and he was almost blown away.

He was startled and hurriedly turned back into the house.

Only then did he remember what the book said, that in the early stages of the soul, it is very weak and vulnerable. If blown by a strong wind, it may even be shattered and difficult to condense.

He didn't dare to go out easily again, so he had to fly onto the beam and look everywhere for the thing that possessed him.

His eyes passed through the darkness, the walls, the windows, the bed, the table, searching everywhere.

Finally, he found another mouse.

"what?"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the stupid mouse from last night.

He didn't hesitate and pounced on him immediately.

The mouse was hiding in a dark corner, looking around with its pair of little fluorescent eyes open.

When Luo Zijun came in front of it, it didn't notice him either.

It seemed that I just felt a sudden chill.

"Whoosh!"

Luo Zijun quickly drilled into its body.

The mouse's body suddenly stiffened and it stood still, motionless, and its pupils quickly dilated.

After Luo Zijun entered, he knocked its soul out with one punch and took control of its body.

Then, crawl into the cave.

Following the cave, I crawled to the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a "squeaking" sound suddenly came from the grass next to it.

Luo Zijun turned around and saw that it was the female mouse that asked for mating last night.

At this time, the female mouse looked arrogant, squeaking at him and shaking her head.

"Boy, why are you in a daze? Come here quickly! Lick the poop from my ass first, and then mate with me properly! If you don't serve me well, hum, I will bite you like I did last night, until your skin is torn and you squeak for mercy!"

Luo Zijun heard her rat language clearly.

It turned out that the rat he possessed was severely retaliated last night.

"Squeak..."

"Dear Queen, here I come! Turn your butt towards me!"

Luo Zijun immediately moved his four short legs and ran over.

The female mouse was very proud. She grinned and squeaked a few times, then immediately turned around and turned her butt towards him, saying, "Lick it clean. If it hurts, hmm..."

"boom!"

Unexpectedly, before it could finish "speaking", Luo Zijun suddenly rushed over and bumped into it.

"squeak--"

The female mouse screamed and was knocked away.

As soon as it landed, Luo Zijun pounced on it again, waving his four little paws and starting punching and kicking it.

"Squeak... squeak..."

It screamed miserably.

At this moment, a larger female mouse rushed out from the bushes and pounced on Luo Zijun.

Luo Zijun suddenly jumped upwards and avoided its attack.

The large female rat pounced from under him, but immediately stopped. Just as she turned around, a claw suddenly came back and scratched her face with a "swish".

The big female mouse screamed and panicked.

Luo Zijun once again used all four limbs, transformed into a Kung Fu mouse, and punched, kicked, clawed and bit the animal.

Seeing how terrifying he was, the little female mouse dared not stay any longer and immediately fled back to the cave in fear with a whoosh.

The big female mouse couldn't resist, screamed, and turned around and fled in panic.

Luo Zijun chased it and pawed it a few more times before it stopped.

At this moment, he felt his whole soul was warm and comfortable, as if hot blood was flowing rapidly inside, and controlling the mouse's body became easier and easier.

It seems that this kind of possession and fighting can also hone and strengthen the soul.

He wandered around in the grass for a while, looking like a king. Seeing that no rat dared to challenge him again, he crawled out of the yard along the hole he made yesterday.

"Squeak..."

"Squeak..."

Out of the small courtyard.

He walked while shouting in a deliberately arrogant manner.

Sure enough, the little white cat, as elegant as a queen, appeared again!
The little white cat appeared on the courtyard wall in front of him, looking down at him with a pair of cold blue eyes.

Huh?
The pupil color of this little white cat last night seemed to be ordinary amber.

Why did it suddenly change tonight?
Isn't it the same cat?

However, with the mouse's keen perception of cats, he knew clearly that the little white cat tonight was the same one from last night.

"Squeak..."

Regardless, he continued to shout arrogantly and provocatively.

Then he immediately turned around, squeezed through the crack of the door, returned to the courtyard, and continued shouting in the courtyard.

"Whoosh!"

Sure enough, the little white cat soon chased to the wall of the courtyard.

Luo Zijun turned around in the courtyard, staring at it intently with his lively little eyes.

The little white cat suddenly jumped down from the courtyard wall.

A white shadow flashed and rushed towards him like lightning.

This is the moment!

Luo Zijun's soul immediately flew out of the mouse's body, and with a "swish", it pounced on the little white cat that was rushing towards it, and directly drilled into its body.

The little white cat's fluttering figure suddenly stopped and stood still.

Those dark blue eyes suddenly widened.

Luo Zijun suddenly entered into darkness and saw the shadow of the little white cat in front of him at a glance.

But that phantom seemed particularly solid.

The shadow of the mouse before was a real shadow, hazy and almost transparent.

But now the shadow of this little white cat is almost real.

Luo Zijun suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he had already entered and the arrow had been shot, so there was no way to turn back!

"Whoosh-"

He rushed towards the soul of the little white cat and punched it hard.

Unexpectedly, the little white cat reacted quickly, jumped up immediately, dodged his fist, and then rushed towards him with its teeth and claws bared.

The two souls, a man and a cat, immediately started fighting each other.

Although Luo Zijun was in a trance state, he was not afraid of a cat and started punching and kicking it immediately.

After being hit by several punches from him, the little white cat immediately began to dodge using its speed, and then he caught the cat off guard with its claws.

Luo Zijun chased after him with all his might and beat him in various ways.

But the little white cat was extremely tenacious. It still jumped around to avoid the attacks and even dared to fight back.

The man and the cat fought for nearly half an incense stick of time.

Luo Zijun began to feel tired and his movements started to slow down.

The little white cat took this opportunity and attacked with its claws.

Luo Zijun's soul was immediately pierced by the claws and almost split in half.

Pain comes.

Luo Zijun became furious and immediately rushed forward with all his strength, kicking the little white cat away.

The little white cat fell heavily to the ground, but then jumped up again.

Luo Zijun knew that he would not succeed tonight.

The spiritual power of this little white cat was obviously more powerful than he had imagined.

He didn't bother any more and flew out immediately.

The soul flew out from the top of the little white cat's head. When it was blown by the night wind, it immediately felt a bone-chilling chill and pain.

He staggered in a panic and flew up the corridor.

Then he walked through the window, returned to the room, and immediately came back to his senses.

The body sitting on the bed slowly opened its eyes and suddenly felt a splitting headache.

And at this time.

The little white cat stood in the yard for a while before gradually coming to its senses.

Its deep blue eyes glanced at the window, then it turned around and jumped onto the courtyard wall, then jumped down again and left.

Luo Zijun rested in bed for a while, and the headache gradually eased.

Damn it, my soul was scratched by a kitten!
He thought about it carefully.

With his current strength, it would be difficult to subdue the spirit of the little white cat. After all, it was the other person's physical body, and the other person's fighting power had increased many times, unless he was at least ten times stronger than the other person. So according to the previous method, it was impossible to possess the little white cat.

However, he had another solution.

The book said that when a living being was destroyed and tortured, sick, old, injured, or frightened, its soul would become weak. At this time, even if the soul strength of the cultivator was not several times that of the other party, he could easily control or kill the other party's soul and thus control the other party's body.

He decided to try again tomorrow night.

The spirit of this little white cat is so powerful, and its physique should be good as well. If I possess it to practice, I believe the progress of my spirit's practice will be faster.

Think about it again.

He took out the book "Soul Cultivation" and turned to the back.

The following few pages recorded a set of skills called: The Soul-shaking and Spirit-shattering Technique.

Whether it is the soul or the body, both can be cultivated.

With the cultivation of the soul, one can transmit sound through the soul. Without opening a word, one can frighten the opponent's soul and weaken it instantly. When one cultivates to a high level, one can even severely damage the opponent's soul in an instant, making him lose the power to resist immediately.

As for physical training, one needs to have one's own soul stronger than the opponent's, and then silently recite the soul spell in one's heart, using the thundering sound in one's throat to instantly shock and scare the opponent's soul, making the opponent instantly dazed and unconscious. However, this process can only last for a few seconds.

He is now cultivating his spirit and soul, so he can give this set of exercises a try.

After watching for a while, he suddenly felt a headache again.

The battle just now had obviously hurt his soul and mind.

He didn't dare to read or think about it anymore. He immediately put away the book, lay down and closed his eyes.

Soon, fatigue set in.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

The next day.

It was not until noon, when the sun was at its highest point in the sky, that he slowly woke up.

My head is still a little dizzy.

However, after a night's sleep, the headache symptoms disappeared.

But his spirit is still a little sluggish.

When Xiaohuan saw him get up, she hurriedly helped him wash up, and then went to the kitchen to heat up the food for him.

Luo Zijun sat down at the stone table in the yard.

Xiao Huan brought food, broth, and fruit, and looked at him with some concern, saying, "Sir, why did you sleep so late? I called you this morning, but you didn't wake up."

Luo Zijun took a piece of fruit to eat first, and said, "I practiced all night last night and fell asleep this morning."

"Oh, no wonder."

Xiao Huan handed the chopsticks to him and said, "Sister Zhi Yuan came this morning and said that Miss Three would come to see you in the evening. Sister Zhi Yuan also brought a new Confucian robe. I put it on the bed in the room. Did you see it?"

Luo Zijun said: "I didn't notice it, I'll try it later."

Xiao Huan smiled and said, "Sir, we live here and have everything we need, including new clothes to wear. I have also been learning how to sew clothes recently, so we won't bother others in the future."

Luo Zijun looked at her and asked, "Can you sew a bellyband?"

Xiao Huan was stunned when she heard that, then she said shyly: "Yes, I am learning it now."

Then she blinked and said, "Sir, what kind of clothes would you like me to wear?"

Luo Zijun said: "I am just asking casually. What you wear is your business. What does it have to do with me?"

"Oh."

"Come to my room later, I'll draw some pictures for you and make some things according to them."

"..."

Luo Zijun lowered his head to eat and ignored her.

After dinner.

After a short rest, I went to the backyard and continued practicing boxing.

While taking a medicinal bath in the evening, he suddenly felt the bronze mirror in his storage bag and someone had sent him a message.

Who else could it be except that psychopathic "Yaochi Fairy"? I didn't want to pay attention to her, but I thought that taking a bath would be boring anyway, so I just treated it as a clown show.

He took out the bronze mirror and looked at the mirror.

Yaochi Fairy: [Can’t Sleep]

Oriental handsome man: [Go away]

Yaochi Fairy: [I took a selfie of a fairy bathing, does anyone want to see it?]

Oriental handsome man: [roll, roll, roll]

Suddenly, a picture was sent to me.

The mist was hazy, the water was rippling, the flower petals were floating, and a long black hair was scattered in the water, revealing a delicate shoulder as white as jade.

This time it’s not a picture, but a real person!
Luo Zijun opened his eyes wide, looked carefully for a while, and quickly replied: [How can this not be seen as a fairy? Where is the face? Even if there is no face, what about other parts? ]

Yaochi Fairy: [Can’t Sleep]

Dongfang Junnan: [Fairy, if you can’t sleep, just keep posting pictures]

Yaochi Fairy: [I took a selfie of a fairy bathing, does anyone want to see it?]

Dongfang Junnan: [Stop talking nonsense, send it]

The other party did not reply and no pictures were sent.

Waited for a while longer.

Luo Zijun cursed and put away the bronze mirror.

I have something else tonight, so I can't soak in the water for too long.

After the medicinal bath, he rinsed his body thoroughly and then changed into the brand new Confucian robe that Zhiyuan had brought him in the morning.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Xiaohuan helped him comb his long hair, and occasionally stole a glance at his handsome face in the mirror.

"Sir, you are so handsome. I like you so much."

The little maid looked like she was infatuated with him.

Luo Zijun looked calm and taught seriously: "Beautiful appearances are all the same, but interesting souls are rare. Xiaohuan, when you look at people, you can't just look at their appearance, you have to look at their heart. The inner beauty is the real beauty."

Xiao Huan asked, "When the time comes for you to marry a bride, will you choose one with a pretty face but an ugly heart, or one with an ugly face but a beautiful heart?"

Luo Zijun said: "Of course I want to marry a woman with a pretty face and a beautiful heart. With my handsome appearance and unparalleled talent, isn't this the right thing to do? Which ugly girl is qualified and has the courage to marry me? My fist is not vegetarian, I can beat her to pieces with one punch!"

Xiao Huan suddenly remembered something and whispered in his ear, "Sir, I went to Suguo Mansion to see Madam today. Guess what Madam asked me to tell you?"

Luo Zijun asked: "What?"

Xiao Huan whispered, "Madam said that we should let the young master behave well here and try to curry favor with the Third Miss, hoping that the young master will take the initiative and marry into the Third Miss's family. Madam said that if that happens, she will die with peace of mind."

Luo Zijun's mouth twitched: "Marry into the wife's family? Are you sure you heard it right? Didn't my sister say that if I dare to marry into the wife's family, she would break my legs and cripple me?"

Xiao Huan smiled and said, "That's marrying into another place. If I marry into a place like this, my wife will be so happy that she won't be able to stop smiling every day."

"As expected, people are fickle. My sister has only lived here for a few days, and she wants to betray our ancestors."

Luo Zijun sighed.

Xiao Huan said, "Madam said that if the ancestors knew that the young master married into the family, they would definitely jump out of their coffins to congratulate the young master."

Luo Zijun: “…”

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

The clear voice of Zhiyuan came: "Mr. Luo, are you ready? The third lady is here."

Luo Zijun quickly got up and went out to open the door himself.

The courtyard door opens.

Bai Qingtong was standing outside the door in a long green dress, tall and graceful. When she saw him put on a new Confucian robe, she was slightly startled, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Sir, you are so handsome and suave when you dress so casually. I can't recognize you."

Luo Zijun bowed and said, "It seems that I was too sloppy before and polluted the eyes of Miss San. I'm sorry, sorry."

Bai Qingtong couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said, "That's not what I meant. Sir, you were also very elegant and handsome before."

Then he smiled and said, "If you are ready, sir, let's go."

Luo Zijun nodded and told Xiaohuan to stay at home.

It's already unsafe to go out of the house alone, and if he takes this little girl with him, if something unexpected happens, he may not be able to protect her.

Zhiyuan followed him.

The group, surrounded by maids and nannies, left the mansion through a side door.

Two carriages were already parked outside.

Two rows of guards, leading tall horses, stood on both sides of the carriage, which made people feel quite safe.

Bai Qingtong turned around and invited, "Sir, would you like to ride in the same carriage with me? There are no outsiders here today, so you don't have to worry too much."

When these words were spoken, the maids and nannies surrounding her were all stunned. They immediately frowned and prepared to speak.

Luo Zijun quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Third, but I'd better take the carriage at the back."

You should be grateful for other people's kindness, but you must understand the rules.

If he really sat in the same carriage with the third young lady today, the maids and nannies would definitely spread the news when he came back. If it got to the master and mistress of the Bai family, he would probably be kicked out immediately.

Even if the third young lady would protect him, what would be the use?

In an ordinary family, a girl's reputation is as important as her life, let alone in such a prominent aristocratic family.

Seeing how nervous he was, Bai Qingtong couldn't help but smile. She didn't force him anymore and got on the carriage first.

Luo Zijun and Zhiyuan walked to a carriage at the back and got on it with several maids and nannies.

Seeing that he was talented, good-looking, and well-mannered, several maids liked him very much.

A maid asked with a smile on her face, "Mr. Luo, have you got a wife? If not, I have a good match. My granddaughter just turned fifteen this year. She is as beautiful as a flower and praised by everyone. Moreover, she has been studying since she was young, well-educated, well-behaved and obedient. If Mr. Luo has time, I will take you to see her?"

Another maid smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Liu, what is the status of your granddaughter? Why would Mr. Luo be interested in her? Mr. Luo is a scholar, and he will take the examinations for Juren and Jinshi in the future. The young lady said that with Mr. Luo's talent, he will definitely pass the examinations in the future. By then, Mr. Luo will be an official noble, a literary star descended to the earth, and the woman he marries must be the daughter of some noble family. How could he be interested in your granddaughter?"

The maid of Liu Chang's family was not happy when she heard this. She glared and said, "I didn't ask Mr. Luo to marry my granddaughter as his wife or a concubine. Is that okay? Mr. Luo will definitely like the look of my granddaughter."

Another maid laughed and said, "Mrs. Liu, how does your granddaughter look compared to the kite?"

The kite laughed aside.

The maid of Liu Chang's family glanced at her, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Of course she can't compare to Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan grew up with the young lady in our Anguo Mansion. In terms of temperament alone, there are few young ladies who can compare with her."

"That's it."

The maid laughed and said, "Since she is not as good as a kite, why did Mr. Luo choose your granddaughter over someone close to him?"

After these words were spoken, everyone else came back to their senses.

Zhiyuan's fair face was immediately stained with two shades of red. There was still a smile in her eyes, but she did not speak.

The maid of Liu Chang's family also understood something at this time, and hurriedly laughed: "I am confused, but it doesn't matter. Young Master Luo will become a high-ranking official in the future, and it is reasonable for him to marry a few more wives and concubines to take care of him at home."

The others quickly changed the subject.

"We have to go to the Jia Mansion later. I heard that several girls from the Jia Mansion have also asked our young lady to go with them."

"I heard there is also Miss Tanchun. Tsk tsk, that girl is really pretty, with a good figure, good skin, good face, and even better temperament. I heard that she is truly well-educated, smart, and knows everything. No wonder she can become a good friend of our young lady."

"You don't know, there is actually another girl in the Jia family, who is even prettier. She is so delicate and pretty, so pitiful and charming."

"It's Miss Lin, right? I went there with the young lady last time and saw her. She was indeed very pretty, but she looked too weak. She kept coughing and her face didn't look very good."

"Do you know the little maid named Qingwen in the Song Mansion? She was the one who spoke up for Mr. Luo in Jinshan Temple last time. The little girl is young, but very brave. Moreover, she looks really pretty, and is quite similar to Miss Lin."

"Indeed, that little girl is pretty and likable, but I heard that she has a bad temper and likes to argue with people."

Luo Zijun couldn't help but interrupt, "In fact, I think that the maids in our Anguo Mansion are the prettiest, such as Zhiyuan, Yun'er, and Tao'er."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else in the car burst out laughing.

Zhiyuan, Yun'er and Tao'er, who were sitting next to them, also covered their mouths and laughed.

"It's still the scholars who know how to talk."

"Mr. Luo has such a sweet mouth."

The maids all smiled and praised.

The carriage moved slowly for about a quarter of an hour, turned into an alley, and then stopped.

Zhiyuan lifted the curtain and looked inside, saying, "There are so many people."

The alley was already filled with carriages, and many people began to get off the carriages, carrying gifts and accompanied by maids and servants, and walked in chatting and laughing.

Zhi Yuan also quickly opened the curtain, got off the carriage, and then stretched out her delicate hand and said, "Sir, be careful."

Luo Zijun held her soft little hand and jumped down.

At this time, Bai Qingtong also jumped off the carriage and was talking to several people who came out from the alley.

When the other guests saw this, they hurried over to greet them.

Bai Qingtong was unable to get away for the moment, so he could only wave to the people behind him and ask them to follow.

Luo Zijun and his group hurriedly followed behind and entered the alley.

The guests who came to the banquet to celebrate today lined up from the gate of the Marquis' Mansion to the street outside the alley.

The chief steward of Marquis Bowang's mansion, along with a group of people, came to greet them at the door.

When they heard that Miss Bai had arrived, the women in the Marquis's Mansion all came out to greet her. One of the girls was wearing a lavender dress, which was particularly eye-catching. She took Bai Qingtong's arm affectionately and led her in.

Luo Zijun and his group also followed into the mansion.

Zhi Yuan whispered, "Sir, the one holding Miss Three's arm is the birthday girl of the Marquis' Mansion tonight, Miss Qian Zi. That one is her sister, Miss Qian Hong... and that one is the eldest daughter of the Wang family..."

Luo Zijun listened to her introduction in a low voice and nodded slightly.

A group of people stood outside the corridor for a while before being led by a maid from the Marquis's Mansion to the garden pavilion at the back, where they had some snacks and rested while waiting for other guests to arrive.

After a while.

After exchanging greetings with other nobles, Bai Qingtong also came to the garden. Just as she was about to walk towards Luo Zijun and her group, she was suddenly stopped by other girls. After chatting and laughing for a while, they went to the pavilion on the other side near the pond to talk.

Then another group of people entered the garden.

Several of the men and women were wearing Confucian robes and skirts, and looked like scholars.

Fortunately, this mansion is big enough and there are other places to rest besides this garden.

Luo Zijun sat in the pavilion, chatting with the maids and nannies while observing the other guests in the garden.

The young men and women I met today are probably people of status and position, otherwise they would not be able to enter this marquisate.

Of course, a staff member like him can't be considered a gentleman or a lady.

Can only be considered a servant.

Although he did not sell himself to the Bai family as a servant, when others mentioned it, they would definitely say that he was the Bai family's teacher and that he was a servant of the Anguo Mansion.

Because the only people living in the mansion, besides the master, are the servants.

At this time, a group of young men and women wearing Confucian robes and skirts passed by the path nearby, seemingly discussing something with great interest.

Luo Zijun listened carefully and found out that they were discussing the books he had published.

"I made an appointment for a long time before I bought the book Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. I even paid extra for it, but after reading the book, I felt it was totally worth it. I wonder who that person was who could write such a tortuous, interesting, and lingering love story."

"I prefer the book Romance of the West Chamber..."

"A Chinese Ghost Story was just published these past two days. I wonder if you have heard of it? It is said to be written by Jun Chujian, and it tells the story of a love between a human and a ghost..."

"Tsk tsk, a love story between a human and a ghost? Is it so outrageous? I just went to the bookstore this morning, but I didn't see it."

"I heard it has just been printed. I guess the first few dozen copies have been given to those noble people with connections. If we want to buy it, we probably have to wait a few more days."

"I heard that someone in the Jia Mansion has already finished reading it. That young master Baoyu praised it highly and said that he wished he could meet that Jun Chujian right away and become sworn brothers with him..."

"What if the other person is a woman?"

"Haha, then she will probably be married to Mr. Jia right away."

A few people walked away while chatting.

When Luo Zijun was thinking about something, Zhiyuan whispered, "Sir, have you read those books they mentioned? I heard in the mansion that the books "Romance of the Western Chamber" and "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" are very good and famous. The third lady also bought two copies to read. Madam also took them to read and praised the young master for his talent. She guessed that he must be a great literary master."

Luo Zijun could only say, "I've read it too, it's really well written. From those words, I can feel the other person's gushing talent. I guess if he were a man, his looks would be on par with mine."

"Pfft..."

Yun'er and Tao'er beside them both laughed out loud.

Zhi Yuan smiled and said, "If the other person's looks are really on par with yours, that would be incredible. With his talent and current popularity, it would be easy for him to enter any aristocratic family."

At this time, a maid said, "I went to the Jia Mansion with the third young lady two days ago. I heard that the imperial concubine of the Jia Mansion also liked to read those two books in the palace. She even sent people out to ask Mr. Baoyu and other girls if they knew the authors of the two books. When the old lady of the Jia Mansion found out, she immediately ordered the first and second masters of the Jia Mansion, as well as others, to send people out to inquire."

Yun'er said with envy, "That person is so talented, why does he use a pseudonym? If he used his real name, he would be extremely wealthy."

Luo Zijun listened silently and didn't say anything else.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked out from the gate of the courtyard, surrounded by two young girls.

A tall girl with narrow shoulders and a thin waist stood out in the crowd.

"Ms. Tanchun and Miss Yingchun from the Jia Mansion are here."

A maid saw the two girls and whispered.

At this time, Bai Qingtong and several girls in the pavilion over there immediately stood up and went to the round gate to greet them.

A group of girls were chatting and laughing together, while the maids and nannies gathered around them.

After a while.

Bai Qingtong looked towards the pavilion on Luo Zijun's side.

Then, the two young ladies from the Jia family also looked over.

Jia Yingchun took a look and lowered her head.

Jia Tanchun, on the other hand, looked at the young man in the pavilion with a burning gaze, a smile on her face, and seemed to be saying something.

At this time, Bai Qingtong smiled and led the two of them towards the pavilion.

The others stopped where they were, looking at the pavilion, talking in low voices, their faces full of curiosity.

"The third young lady is here."

The maids and nannies sitting in the pavilion stood up immediately.

Luo Zijun naturally stood up as well.

"Mr. Luo, Tanchun heard that you are here too, so she came over to say hello to you."

Bai Qingtong came to the pavilion and said with a smile.

Luo Zijun quickly bowed her head and bowed to the two girls behind her: "Greetings, ladies."

Jia Tanchun smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, you look so different. You were not this charming and graceful when you were in the Taoyuan Restaurant in the Peach Blossom Land."

Jia Yingchun, who was standing aside, looked at the handsome young man in front of her. She didn't know what she remembered. Her cheeks suddenly flushed. She lowered her head, shy and timid, not daring to speak.

Luo Zijun said calmly, "We were traveling in the suburbs at the beginning, making friends through literature, and I don't know the girl's true identity."

Jia Tanchun laughed and said, "But judging from Mr. Luo's arrogant and arrogant character, I'm afraid that if he knew my identity, he would still be the same and ruthlessly drive me out of the second floor."

When these words were spoken, everyone around was surprised.

Bai Qingtong was also hearing about this for the first time and was surprised, "Tanchun, did Mr. Luo chase you away?"

Jia Tanchun smiled and said, "It's nothing. Mr. Luo didn't know my identity at that time. And with Mr. Luo's talent and the three poems he wrote there, I can bear it even if he scolds me on the spot, let alone chase me downstairs. Of course, if Mr. Luo really wants to scold me, he must write another poem for me."

Luo Zijun lowered his head and said, "Miss Jia, you are joking. I dare not do that."

Jia Tanchun smiled and said, "Just call me Miss Tanchun. There's no need to call me Miss Jia or Miss Real. I am Miss Jia, Yingchun is also Miss Jia, Xichun is also Miss Jia, and all the young ladies in the Jia family are Miss Jia. If they all come in the future, what should Master Luo call them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other maids and nannies in the pavilion all laughed.

Luo Zijun could only say, "Miss Tanchun."

Jia Tanchun smiled, looked behind her and said, "There's another one, why don't you call him?"

Luo Zijun could only bow his head and say, "Miss Yingchun."

Jia Yingchun raised her head, glanced at him, and quickly saluted with a blushing face: "Mr. Luo."

When Jia Tanchun was about to speak, someone suddenly waved and shouted, "Tanchun, Tanchun, come here quickly! I'll introduce you to some talented men and women! Qingtong, come here too!"

Jia Tanchun had no choice but to say, "Mr. Luo, I'll come talk to you later when I have time. Qingtong, let's go over there."

Bai Qingtong agreed, and when she was about to leave, she glanced at her expression, and immediately said to the maid in the pavilion: "Let Zhiyuan stay here to accompany Master Luo, and you all follow me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Maids and nannies, follow him out immediately.

When Jia Yingchun was about to turn around and leave, Jia Tanchun suddenly held her shoulders, pushed her towards the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Second sister, wait for me here, I will come over later. There are too many people there, and you don't like it."

As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at the young man in the pavilion and said with a smile, "Master Luo, come and talk to my second sister. Ever since she came back from the Anguo Mansion Academy that day, she has been praising and admiring you in our ears for being so great."

"Tanchun..."

Jia Yingchun was suddenly flustered and anxious, and wanted to leave, but was pushed in by Jia Tanchun, who said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? Young Master Luo will not eat you."

Having said that, he left with Bai Qingtong with a smile.

So, the only three people left in the pavilion were Luo Zijun, the second young lady of the Jia family, and Zhiyuan.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

Jia Yingchun lowered her head, her face flushed. She wanted to run away, but felt embarrassed.

Luo Zijun took the initiative to say: "Miss Yingchun, please sit down. It just so happens that I have something to say to you alone."

The future fate of this young lady from the Duke's Mansion is extremely miserable. Now that he has seen her today, he naturally has to remind her.

Jia Yingchun was startled when she heard this and sat down with her head down.

The sunset is slightly drunk in the sky.

at the same time.

When I first saw the bookstore, there was a carriage parked in front of it with the logo of Marquis Bowang's Mansion on it.

After a while.

Liu Chujian, wearing a pink long dress and a veil, holding a guqin, came out of the shop with Bier and got on the carriage.

She received an invitation a few days ago that there would be a banquet at the Marquis Bowang's Mansion tonight.

She is a guest and also a pianist.

When her father had not been dismissed from office, the relationship between the two families was very good, and she and the daughter of Marquis Bowang were also good friends.

So the other party had his birthday tonight and specially invited her.

At the same time, the other party knew that she was an excellent musician, so he hoped that she could play a piece in the mansion tonight to add to the fun.

But for some reason, she suddenly felt uneasy.
