Chapter 413: Choosing a good person for Luo Feng

Three days later, in the back garden of the Dou mansion, the autumn sun was just right at this time.

A gathering called chrysanthemum appreciation, but actually a beauty pageant, was quietly underway.

Several banquet tables were set up in the garden, with seasonal fruits and exquisite tea snacks.

The seven or eight young women invited were all dressed up, accompanied by servants and maids, seemingly casually appreciating flowers, tasting tea, and whispering to each other, but in fact, the corners of their eyes were glancing at the direction of the pavilion from time to time, and there was some nervousness and speculation in their hearts.

They were told it was just an ordinary family gathering, but the elders of their fathers and brothers gathered in the pavilion, and let them come out to "play," which in itself was unusual.

There were few fools among the women born in such families. They had some speculation in their hearts, but they had no way to verify it!

Inside the Lanyue Pavilion, Dou Wen and several clan heads took in the scene in the garden through the gaps in the carefully designed bamboo curtains.

They spread paper and pens in front of them and exchanged opinions in low voices.

"The one wearing a goose-yellow shirt and playing the qin is the youngest daughter of my third brother, named Dou Yun. Her temperament is gentle and she is knowledgeable about music, especially good at the pipa, and her poetry and books are also good, but her temperament is a bit quiet." Dou Wen introduced.

The qin sound was not bad, the skill was proficient, but it always lacked the charm that moved people's hearts.

"The player, the heart has not reached."

The old man of the Yang clan shook his head slightly, "Luo Feng is afraid that he will not have the patience to listen to this elegant music."

After all, in their eyes, although Luo Feng is in a high position, he is a rough person in his bones, so naturally he does not like this kind of elegance.

"The one talking to the maid, wearing a water-green skirt, is my daughter Wei Pei. She knows a few words, has a lively temperament, likes to move, and is proficient in equestrianism, which ordinary men cannot match."

The head of the Wei family's tone carried a trace of helplessness. His daughter was used to being wild, and it was not easy for her to sit here quietly today.

I saw the girl in the green skirt with lively eyes, gesturing something with the maid, her smile bright, indeed different from ordinary boudoir ladies.

"This woman's temperament is special, perhaps it can cater to the martial artist's preferences. It's just... is it too jumping, lacking stability?" The head of the Zhang clan pondered.

At this time, a clear chanting sound came from a corner of the garden.

Everyone looked over and saw a woman in white standing alone beside the chrysanthemum bushes, holding a book, chanting a frontier poem by a predecessor in a low voice, the sound was not high, but every word was clear, carrying a rare cold and open charm.

"The beacon fire shines on the Western Capital, the heart is not flat. The tooth seal resigns from the Phoenix Palace, the iron cavalry circles the Dragon City. The snow darkens the flag painting, the wind mixes with the sound of drums. Better to be a centurion than a scholar."

"Who is this woman?" Dou Wen's eyes lit up.

The head of the Fu clan hurriedly said: "It is my niece, Fu Qingshuang. Her father died early, and she followed her mother to depend on my mansion. She likes reading, especially history and military strategy. She is usually quiet and speaks little, today it is..."

His tone was a bit complicated. This niece has talent, but her temperament is arrogant, and he is afraid that she is not easy to control.

Dou Wen carefully looked at Fu Qingshuang, and saw that her posture was straight, not as delicate as ordinary women, her face was beautiful, but she carried a clear air of books and a sense of alienation.

She had both the elegance of poetry and books, and a simple and neat temperament close to military life.

"This woman... is quite extraordinary."

Dou Wen muttered, "Luo Feng is a fierce general who fought in bloody battles, ordinary boudoir tenderness, perhaps he is tired of it.

This kind of woman who can chant frontier poems or has some heroic spirit may attract his attention.

And her family background is not obvious, depending on her uncle's family, just right for the choice of 'clean background, family background not high or low.'

Her temperament is cold, which makes her appear sincere, not like deliberate flattery."

The other clan heads also nodded one after another. Compared with the one playing the qin who was too weak, and the one who was too lively, Fu Qingshuang's unique temperament of coldness with bookishness and faint heroic spirit seemed to be more likely to attract martial generals like Luo Feng who were used to life and death and did not like affectation.

"How are her talents? Can she do needlework and cooking?" Someone asked.

Fu Qingshuang's aunt was a bit embarrassed: "She is proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but needlework and cooking... she knows a little, but is not proficient... her mind is mostly on books."

"No matter."

Dou Wen waved his hand, "Luo Feng has his own fire-head army in the army, why does he need his wife to cook?

Being able to read and write, understanding reason and righteousness, and being able to speak at critical moments is what matters. If her temperament is colder, it will lack the smell of fat and powder, and it will be more special."

He observed for a while, and saw that Fu Qingshuang finished chanting the poem, then walked away quietly, appreciating the chrysanthemums alone, not chatting with other women, that sense of independence and alienation, among the warblers and swallows in the garden, became more prominent.

"It is her."

Dou Wen made the final decision, "Fu Gong, you still need to teach your sister-in-law well, let her know the importance of this 'opportunity,' related to the family, and also related to her own future.

You need to teach her how to approach Luo Feng in an 'inadvertent' way, show her talent and temperament, but not be too active and lose her status.

Especially let her understand that Luo Feng is a hero of the world, Beijiang's new policy... has many biases, General Luo is in it, and also has unspeakable difficulties, needing people to understand and comfort."

A flash of light appeared in his eyes: "This woman's temperament is unique, if trained properly, it may not be impossible to become the excellent reins that tie Luo Feng, this wild horse.

Even if she cannot become his main wife in the end, if she can get Luo Feng's favor and accompany him often, it is also a huge success!"

A carefully planned beauty pageant ended in the secret room evaluation of several Guanzhong scholar-gentry clan heads.

Dou Wen and others need to plan the next step immediately.

How to create a "reasonable" opportunity for Fu Qingshuang to naturally enter Luo Feng's sight, and let Luo Feng become interested in her, this may be the most difficult.

After all, with the martial general's temperament, if he knew that this matter was deliberately planned, he would be afraid of being unhappy and ruining their big event.

They know deeply that Luo Feng is not an ordinary lecher, and is even more vigilant against the scholar-gentry, any deliberate arrangement may be counterproductive and arouse his suspicion or even resentment.

They must create a scene of meeting that looks accidental but is carefully designed, not only to let Luo Feng notice Fu Qingshuang's uniqueness, but also not to let him detect the handwriting behind it.

"Luo Feng's daily movements, according to Dou's knowledge, are quite regular."

Dou Wen spread out a simple map of Chang'an city and pointed, "Except for handling military affairs, patrolling city defenses, and pointing soldiers at the drill ground, he occasionally has leisure time and will go out of the city to inspect surrounding troops.

He does not like silk and bamboo, does not like banquets, the only thing that can be called a hobby is occasionally going to a few bookstores in the city to read military books and war strategies, or taking a walk around the Daci'en Temple in the south of the city, it is said he likes its quietness."

What Dou Wen didn't know was that this news was actually deliberately released by Luo Feng. He didn't like to go to any Buddhist holy places at all, but Wang Hou said that he was either in the military camp or in the mansion all day, and the other party had no chance to contact him.

So Luo Feng could only give the other party this opportunity and deliberately let the wind out.

Even in order to lure the snake out of the hole, Luo Feng would take time to specifically go to Daci'en Temple for a stroll. ===== CHAPTER 414 =====
