Chapter 348: Talented scholars and beautiful ladies, greetings, Young Master!

A place in the D-grade area of the Flowers Banquet.】

There is a case table.】

In the seats, there are melon fruits and snacks, and several pots of fine wine.】

Six or seven people are gathering here, three women and four men.】

Talking and laughing, watching the square stage of the Flowers Banquet.】

He Xiao is also among them, he read books for Xie Guan that year.】

He Xiao's face is rosy today, he drank a few cups, and he slowly puts down the wine glass.】

He is thin, wearing a crown, his features are quite good, wearing a white moon-colored robe.】

Today he is specially dressed up, his face is powdered, and he drank some wine, with two groups of wine red on his face.】

Especially facing the beauties of the Moon Splendor Pavilion who are like "winding fingers," his face is even more proud.】

This time he didn't have gold and silver to come to the Flowers Banquet, it was also thanks to "Yaya" for help.】

He had the opportunity to come here.】

Accompanied by beauties, drinking and making merry, it is naturally a scholar.】

It's just that the few Confucian scholars beside the top courtesans of the Moon Splendor Pavilion are a bit of an eyesore.】

He Xiao witnesses several Confucian scholars surrounding a golden-clothed woman, she is graceful and luxurious.】

These guys who call themselves students of the Chongshan Academy are actually relying on their family's wealth to enter this kind of academy because they have no chance to enter.】

He Xiao thinks secretly, what's so great.】

At this time!】

One of the white-clothed women in her twenties, dignified and gentle, seems to notice He Xiao's embarrassment, so she raises her glass with a smile:】

"Master He, please drink wine."】

"Thank you, Miss Yaya."】

He Xiao responds politely, raising his glass and sipping lightly.】

He knows deeply that this Miss Feng Yaya is the confidante of his friend Zhang Yuanlai, and also the gold master this time, so he dare not be presumptuous.】

Zhang Yuanlai is one of the few good friends he has.】

Don't bully a friend's wife, this is morality.】

Except for Yaya, the other two women, the most eye-catching is the golden-clothed woman surrounded by everyone.】

However!】

She supports her chin with one hand, a trace of boredom flowing between her eyebrows.】

It is said that this woman was once the head of the Moon Splendor Pavilion, and during the top courtesan selection that year, she almost won.】

And now, she can only watch the new top courtesans of the Moon Splendor Pavilion compete for beauty at the Flowers Banquet, the taste in her heart is probably hard to express.】

He Xiao has the best impression of her, but the woman doesn't like to talk to people.】

Besides Yaya and the golden-clothed woman, there is also a woman wearing an open-chested shirt, half of the snow-white is looming.】

Her eyebrows are charming, and a black mole at the corner of her mouth adds to the style.】

This woman is talking and laughing with the Confucian scholars, laughing from time to time, swaying, the gorgeous color on her chest makes people imagine, making He Xiao and others "dare not look directly."】

This woman is a dancer of the Moon Splendor Pavilion, especially good at Hu Xuan dance, and is also another head of the top courtesans, named Zhou Yuner.】

The three women are of similar age, like sisters, gathering today, actually to send Yaya off, and go to this Flowers Banquet together.】

Zhou Yuner looks at Feng Yaya, joking: "Sister Yaya, why hasn't your man come back yet?"】

Feng Yaya is the oldest among the three women, and usually takes care of the two.】

"Could it be that he met an old lover again, looking for a quiet place, dry wood and fire?"】

Zhou Yuner's language is bold, her tone is soft and sweet, making the men present can't help but pay attention.】

Feng Yaya knows deeply that this sister has a straightforward temperament, although she likes to "open her mouth," she has no malice.】

He Xiao sees this, hurriedly taking the conversation: "Miss Yuner doesn't know, Brother Zhang is upright, can be called a true gentleman. Among the many guests in the Xie residence, he is the most honest, thick, and dutiful."】

Zhou Yuner hears this, covering her mouth and laughing, her wonderful eyes flowing, looking straight at He Xiao, spitting out fragrance like an orchid:】

"Honest... thick? Then I don't know if Master He is also so honest?"】

He Xiao is looked at by her until his mouth is dry, thinking secretly in his heart.】

Although he has been mixing in the West Wing Pavilion for many years, he is considered a veteran of the love scene, but the gold and silver in his hands are shy, and he has never had the opportunity to approach the top courtesans of the Moon Splendor Pavilion like Zhou Yuner.】

He Xiao settles his mind, saying seriously: "He naturally also adheres to the gentleman's way, not bullying the dark room, walking straight and sitting straight."】

Zhou Yuner hears this, a flower-like smile blooms on her face, "Honest men, although good, but what kind of fun do they understand?"】

He Xiao hears this, looking at Zhou Yuner's "looking at the ridge from the side and the peak from the side" figure, can't help but miss a beat, his expression dazed.】

Feng Yaya sees this, shaking her head lightly.】

Although Yuner sister is young, she has been sought after by countless men because of her outstanding figure.】

Over the years, she has kept herself clean and has her own unique way of dealing with the world, knowing all kinds of means of men.】

Scholars like He Xiao are probably already held firmly by her.】

This Yuner sister has a very high spirit, and most ordinary men have not been put in her eyes.】

She has a belief in her heart, "If there is no phoenix branch, the person in her heart, she would rather all the men in the world die."】

Zhou Yuner laughs: "The one in your house said it is looking for a handsome youth."】

"Don't come, not as handsome as Master He."】

Feng Yaya ponders slightly before opening her mouth: "Brother Zhang, is not a person who boasts, this Xie family young master he mentioned to me many times, language has a lot of admiration, absolutely extraordinary."】

"A few months ago, that sentence, Peng to the North Sea, Phoenix to the morning sun, carrying books and swords on a vast and uncertain road, was made by this person."】

The golden-clothed woman then slowly raises her head, thoughtful.】

He Xiao is just about to speak, he has a complex impression of this Xie Guan, but he can't deny that his person has talent, and the youth's demeanor is extraordinary.】

At this time!】

A slightly mocking voice rings out.】

"Xie family young master!"】

"Isn't it that Xie family concubine-born son, not favored in the Xie family, it is said that he hasn't been enlightened yet, let alone a scholar, not even a student status."】

Feng Yaya looks in the direction of the voice, only to see a white-clothed Confucian scholar standing beside the golden-clothed woman, with a cold smile on his mouth.】

"I have a good friend teaching in the Xie residence school, this Xie Guan can't even enter the school door, and was driven to the Li family to study, among them..."】

The white-clothed Confucian scholar deliberately lengthened his tone, the words were not finished, but the meaning of ridicule and reckless speculation was already overflowing.】

The cold smile on his face was even more obvious: "As the saying goes, a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken. This kind of concubine-born son of a big mansion is not as comfortable as an ordinary family."】

The white-clothed Confucian scholar is named Jia Yu, his father is the Commander of the Golden Guard in Above Bianjing, and he himself is a student of the Chongshan Academy.】

The Chongshan Academy is famous in Above Bianjing, second only to the Academy, and after completion, one can directly enter the Imperial Academy for further study, and then enter the court as an official.】

Even!】

The best among them also have the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven, advise on state affairs, and are known as "Disciples of the Son of Heaven."】

Zhou Yuner sees this, laughs, "It seems that Jia Yu young master has a lot of complaints about this Xie Guan young master."】

Jia Yu stands straight, his eyebrows are delicate, and a bit of pride flows in his eyes, seemingly not caring about Zhou Yuner's teasing.】

Jia Yu's expression is light: "I just hate those who have no name, have no real talent, but are fishing for fame."】

Zhou Yuner laughs: "Jia Yu young master, how do you determine that this Xie Guan young master has no name and no real talent?"】

"Jia young master, have you ever written an article with him, or compared knowledge?"】

Zhou Yuner asks slowly:】

"Or rather, Jia young master, have you seen Xie Guan with your own eyes and understand his true talent?"】

Jia Yu is short of breath, then waves his sleeves.】

"Jia has never seen this person."】

His dissatisfaction with Xie Guan mainly stems from Xie Guan's identity, a concubine-born son of the Xie family, but he can have such a big reputation in the West Wing Pavilion.】

In Jia Yu's view, this person has never entered the academy, unlike them, these scholars who have studied hard.】

Not a proper origin.】

The two Confucian scholars beside Jia Yu, also classmates of the Chongshan Academy, see Jia Yu being asked, hurriedly echoing: "Yes, we haven't heard of this person either, he hasn't written any articles, and doesn't even have a teacher."】

"Moreover, Xie Guan is still a member of the Grass Hall Poetry Society, isn't this enough to show that this person is not worth using? A little knowledgeable person would have long ago taken refuge in the poetry societies under the names of several princes or the Academy."】

One of them adds.】

"That's right, Brother Jia is a member of the Hanmo Poetry Society."】

The Hanmo Poetry Society was founded by the Second Prince, and the students inside are all people who have recently become famous.】

To join, one must be recommended by three members of the poetry society, must have a scholar's merit, and must have written famous poems.】

Whether it is the official career or connections, they are all the gatekeepers of the Second Prince.】

The Second Prince is one of the princes who has the most hope of seizing the throne, joining the Hanmo Poetry Society is equivalent to the Second Prince's gatekeeper.】

Among the three of them, only Jia Yu has the fortune to enter it.】

Jia Yu hears this, can't help but puff out his chest a few more times, although his face reveals a humble expression, his eyes can't help but look at the golden-clothed woman sitting on the imperial concubine chair looking at the stage.】

The golden-clothed woman seems not to have heard.】

He Xiao is just about to open his mouth, but finally remains silent.】

Feng Yaya frowns slightly, the few seem to be very unwelcoming to this Xie Guan.】

If later!】

Zhang Yuanlai brings Xie Guan and is squeezed by the three of them, with Zhang Yuanlai's temperament, he will mostly protect him.】

I'm afraid it will be unpleasant.】

Feng Yaya thinks for a moment and says: "This Xie Guan, although we don't know his talent yet, he is a rare filial son. When his mother passed away, he was heartbroken, and even cried blind for his mother, and it took a full year to recover."】

"Great Qi governs the world with Confucian filial piety, so you can see his character and conduct."】

The three don't commit, not caring at all.】

Zhou Yuner praises, "Filial piety is the first of all virtues."】

She changes the subject and mentions something.】

"It is said that Hu Yunniang and Chenxiang didn't go to the Flowers Banquet to prepare for the stage this afternoon, but went to..."】

The golden-clothed woman's low-hanging eyes flow slightly.】

Zhou Yuner says slowly:】

"These two people went to find this Xie family concubine-born son Xie Guan."】

"In the end, it was unhappy!"】

Jia Yu is surprised, Chenxiang and Hu Yunniang are both among the eight top courtesans of the Moon Splendor Pavilion.】

What did they go to find Xie Guan for.】

While everyone is thinking!】

Zhang Yuanlai's happy voice rings out.】

"Young Master Guan, please here."】

Everyone's eyes look involuntarily at the path left between the seats.】

Even Feng Yaya turns around, curious about this person whom her Zhang Lang praises endlessly.】

The golden-clothed woman takes her hand off her chin and looks at the person following Zhang Yuanlai seriously.】

Jia Yu frowns.】

The area behind the Flowers Banquet is just an open space, with case tables placed, and a few people gathered together.】

The clear moonlight is tilted down like fine gauze, plus the brightness of the stage lights.】

Making this place bright.】

Zhang Yuanlai walks in front, his face full of joy.】

Following behind him is a youth pacing over.】

The youth is wearing a plain robe, his figure is slender.】

He walks and talks with Zhang Yuanlai, his mouth gentle, nodding lightly.】

～

～

【You follow Zhang Yuanlai all the way.】

【You hear Zhang Yuanlai tell a lot of interesting things. This singing girl of the Moon Splendor Pavilion, Miss Feng Yaya, their acquaintance actually originated from a drunken incident. A male guest was drunk and moved his hands and feet towards Feng Yaya.】

【Zhang Yuanlai usually sees this, mostly afraid in his heart. He is used to being careful in this place of power struggles in Above Bianjing.】

【Zhang Yuanlai smiles bitterly, shaking his head: "Isn't it because I drank a few more cups, wine strengthens the coward's courage! I couldn't hold back, so I rushed up."】

【Rushing for a beauty, broke someone's head.】

【Finally, the male guest was also afraid, so it was left unsettled.】

【You laugh: "Hero saves beauty, it has existed since ancient times."】

【Zhang Yuanlai only sighs: "It seems that drinking is not a bad thing, otherwise there would be no fate between me and Yaya."】

【Zhang Yuanlai also introduced the few people who came today. The other two women are both top courtesans of the Moon Splendor Pavilion, one of whom almost became a top courtesan last year, but was defeated by Hu Yunniang as a dark horse.】

【You nod slowly, the competition for top courtesans among brothel women is probably a common thing.】

【Unknowingly, arrived at the seat!】

【Zhang Yuanlai enthusiastically points the way: "Young Master Guan, please here."】

【You step into the seat, in front of you are Feng Yaya and the others.】

【Zhang Yuanlai hurriedly introduces: "This is Xie Guan, Young Master Guan."】

【You greet with a smile: "Xie Guan, greetings to everyone."】

【They finally come to their senses.】

【Zhou Yuner's eyes brighten suddenly, "Master Zhang, it is really true."】

【"Young Master Guan, it is really a handsome demeanor."】

【Her eyes flow, "If the slave doesn't dislike it, call me Yuner."】

【You just nod with a smile.】

【Feng Yaya's gaze falls on Xie Guan, can't help but be slightly stunned. This Xie Guan, just looking at his temperament and appearance, is definitely outstanding among the many male guests of the Moon Splendor Pavilion, a top choice.】

【He has neither the humble aura of a Xie family concubine-born son, nor the rich vulgarity of those young masters of the Nine Great Clans, but a temperament as warm as jade, making people feel good.】

【Zhang Yuanlai's evaluation of him is very high, "Xie Guan, mature for his age, with mountains and rivers in his chest, is definitely not a person who lives in the mundane world for a long time." Women value appearance, at least Feng Yaya has believed six or seven points.】

【He Xiao also greets, his expression quite unnatural, the friendship of reading in the small courtyard has long since disappeared, and meeting again now, burning the cold stove behind is quite awkward.】

【Several Confucian scholars in the seat are silent, their expressions unkind, seemingly unwelcoming to Xie Guan's arrival. Zhang Yuanlai introduces them one by one, and Xie Guan returns the salute one by one, behaving appropriately, without losing etiquette.】

【Until the last person, only the golden-clothed woman sitting on the imperial concubine chair remains.】

【Zhang Yuanlai is somewhat afraid of this woman, at least the woman has never given him a good face, and he is used to it.】

【The woman only talked to Feng Yaya and Zhou Yuner today, and was cold to others.】

【Strangely!】

【The golden-clothed woman slowly gets up, bows gracefully, and takes the initiative to speak: "Li Xiangjun, greetings to Young Master."】
