Except for Sheng Changbai who is a little older than Sheng Shulan, the others are all younger than Sheng Shulan.
So they are both considered Lu Xiao's younger brother and sister.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they entered the Sheng Mansion.
After entering the mansion, it was naturally inconvenient for the women to stay with the men.
Therefore, Sheng Shulan, Sheng Rulan and others dragged them to the inner house to play.
Originally, Lu Xiao also needed to go to the backyard to visit Old Madam Sheng.
But today's arrival was unfortunate, as Old Lady Sheng had the habit of going out to worship Buddha every year.
Each time it takes one to two months.
Just missed it this time.
But given the long run, Lu Xiao would be staying in Bianliang from today onwards, so a visit to Old Madam Sheng was only a matter of time.
The main hall of Sheng Mansion.
Sheng Quan sat upright on the imperial chair.
"My dear nephew, your cousin has already explained your purpose for coming. Studying is easy to discuss. If it's convenient for you, you can come to the mansion to attend classes starting tomorrow. I've already informed Master Zhuang, so there's no problem."
"Thank you, uncle." Lu Xiao said politely.
Sheng Quan continued, "Do you have a place to stay? If not, you and Shulan can stay at home. We're all family, so there's no need to be so formal."
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "My father-in-law has already purchased a property for us in Kyoto. We stayed there last night. It's not far from Jiying Lane. Uncle, please come visit us when you have time."
Although he didn't say it directly, everyone could tell that he refused.
To be honest, Sheng Quan was shocked when he heard that Sheng Wei had bought a yard in Kyoto specifically for Lu Xiao.
It's not easy to buy a yard in Kyoto.
Not only is the price high, but there is also a shortage of buyers.
Sheng Wei was able to purchase the yard in such a short time, so he must have paid several times higher than the market price.
Although he didn't know how much money he spent in the end, Sheng Quan knew it was definitely not something he could afford.
Don't assume Sheng Quan is rich just because his mansion is quite large.
Quite the opposite is true.
He is not that rich.
The Sheng Mansion was not his house, and the medical equipment was bought by Qi Si Wu Lu.
It was a reward from the current government after his father won the third place in the imperial examination.
Otherwise, with his financial resources, he would definitely not be able to afford such a courtyard.
"Cousin, do you really intend to raise him as your own son?"
Sheng Quan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Afterwards, the two continued chatting.
Lu Xiao told Sheng Quan about some things happening in Youyang.
Sheng Quan explained some of the rules of Bianliang City to Lu Xiao.
After the two met for the first time, they got along quite harmoniously, and nothing unexpected happened.
In this way, Lu Xiao stayed in Sheng Mansion until the afternoon.
After lunch, he sat for a while before taking Sheng Shulan and leaving.
the next day.
Lu Xiao came to the house again, and this was the official beginning of his study in the Sheng family.
It must be said that Zhuang Xuejiu was indeed a very learned scholar.
Even now, Lu Xiao can still learn a lot from him in daily classes.
In addition, he also gradually became familiar with several classmates.
Chapter 46 Beauty Manor
The world of lesser songs.
Three visits to the city.
This is the only way to get from Beili to Biluo City outside the Saiwai.
Every year, a large number of merchants pass through this place, so its prosperity is no less than that of other major cities in the Central Plains.
Among those merchants, there are many high rollers who spend lavishly.
In order to earn the money of these wealthy customers, San visited many places such as brothels and casinos in the city.
Among them, Meirenzhuang is the most famous.
"Wow, this is Meiren Manor, it's worthy of being the biggest den of money in Sangu City, it's so luxurious!"
As soon as he stepped into the Beauty Manor, Lu Xiao shouted loudly with a very unworldly look.
It's not his fault, there isn't a similar place in Xueyue City.
This was also the first time he had seen such a scene.
Tang Lian couldn't help but clench her fists when she saw her junior fellow apprentice in such a state.
He felt ashamed.
"What a pity that Lei Wujie has to guard the carriage, otherwise I should really bring him out to see the world."
Xiao Se beside him was thinking about his good friend.
Lu Xiao said nonchalantly, "Forget it. That kid wouldn't like this kind of place. He's obviously one of those clueless people."
After hearing this, Xiao Se smiled and nodded.
"That's right, this place is indeed not suitable for him. It is only suitable for a gentleman like me who is elegant and graceful."
Lu Xiao gave him a disdainful look. "Elegant? You've misunderstood the term. How dare you, a poor wretch with not a penny to spare, say such a thing?"
During the few days they came to Meirenzhuang, they got along well.
So on weekdays, I would also make some jokes with the Japanese scar of the 96th Division.
"Me? A poor bastard? Take a good look at me. The material of this suit of clothes alone is worth a fortune, not to mention my two great horses. How can the word poor even describe me?"
Xiao Se said unconvincedly.
Lu Xiao said, "You should wear the clothes no matter how valuable they are. If you have the guts, take them off and exchange them for silver. If you can pull out a copper coin from your pocket right now, I'll take back what I said."
Xiao Se was suddenly speechless.
He couldn't even come up with a copper coin.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Xiao turned to Tang Lian and suggested.
"Brother, since we're here, shouldn't we have a good bet here?"
Tang Lian said with a dark face, "I don't have any money. If you had money, I would definitely not stop you."
The two of them had all their travel expenses with Tang Lian, so he had the confidence to say this.
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "We still have a golden coffin, don't we? I see there are a lot of wealthy people here, so we can definitely sell it for a good price."
Seeing that Lu Xiao was still intent on selling the golden coffin, Tang Lian wanted to drive him back to Xueyue City right away.
At this moment, Tang Lian felt that if he was the only one to do this mission.
He wouldn't be so tired.
"Don't even think about stealing the golden coffin. We're here to find our contact, so we have to be inconspicuous." Tang Lian scolded.
Lu Xiao suddenly felt bored.
This eldest brother of his is good in every way, except that he is too rigid.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in Meirenzhuang.
"Look! Tiannvrui!"
As soon as the sound came out, petals began to rain from the sky.
Three red silk threads flew out from the highest attic in the Beauty Manor.
Accompanied by flower petals and red silk, a graceful beauty flew out.
She danced gracefully in the sky, then slowly landed on the ground. With a charming smile on her face, she looked at Lu Xiao and the others.
To be more precise, he should be looking at Tang Lian.
"Hey, isn't this Lian?"
The sound is as crisp as a yellow oriole, very pleasant to hear.
The person who came was none other than Tiannvrui, the owner of Meiren Manor.
"Hey, isn't this Lian?"
Another voice sounded, repeating what Tian Nurui had just said.
Tang Lian's face darkened even further, and she rolled her eyes at Lu Xiao, who was pinching his throat.
Lu Xiao immediately said sarcastically, "Hey, Senior Brother, you're so low-key."
Tang Lian's face began to turn from black to red.
Xiao Se added, "Now the people in Meiren Manor probably won't be able to avoid noticing us."
Tang Lian said helplessly to Tian Nurui: "Rui, you~~"
Tian Nurui didn't care at all, and walked forward step by step with a smile.
"Lian, it's been sixteen months and seven days since you last came here. Don't you miss me at all?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Se immediately interrupted.
"One of you is called Rui and the other is called Lian. What a perfect match!"
Tian Nurui really liked people saying she and Tang Lian were a good match, and she immediately had a good impression of Xiao Se.
"Haha, wouldn't it be even more fitting if they named their child 'Ou'?"
Lu Xiao continued to be sarcastic.
But after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and immediately looked at Tang Lian with wide eyes and shouted angrily.
"You are so good, Tang Lian. You usually look like a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn't expect you to be such a cunning guy."
Several people were a little confused by his attitude.
Why are you suddenly angry?
"Junior brother, what did you say?" Tang Lian was puzzled.
Lu Xiao said, "What did I say? You still have the nerve to ask? What did you say before? You said you haven't taken on Si Gucheng missions in years. So, your years are sixteen months and seven days. Hurry up and tell me how many times you've secretly come here?"
After hearing this, Tang Lian's face turned even redder.
"Damn it, how could I have forgotten this."
The disciples of Xueyue City rarely leave Xueyue City except when they are taking on missions. They basically practice martial arts diligently in the city.
As the eldest senior brother of Xueyue City, Tang Lian usually sets an example among them.
But every time he went on a mission, he would pay special attention.
If you find that the mission location is not far from Sigu City.
He would come here every time he passed by.
As for how far "not far" is, of course it is all determined by him.
I never expected that this secret would be discovered by Lu Xiao today.
Tang Lian could fully foresee that soon, all the disciples in Xueyue City would know this news.
After all, Lu Xiao was known among the disciples of Xueyue City for his loud mouth.
