Invincible son

Chapter 247 246 [Unpredictable people]

Lin Shuyue looked sad.

Since she came to Xingyang three years ago, she has become the oiran of Qiujiang Tower in a very short period of time, and she is very popular wherever she goes. Not to mention Pei Yue's indifferent and contemptuous words, even a slightly cold attitude. .

Pei Yue's guess is correct, Lin Shuyue's life experience is her most eye-catching place.

The Lin family was originally a family of officials in the Western Wu Dynasty. Lin Shuyue's father, Lin Zhongting, was the Minister of the Military Department of the Western Wu Dynasty. He was dismissed and investigated for an arms corruption case, and later he was involved in a bigger case that harmed his family.No one knows how Lin Shuyue crossed the vast Gaoyang Plain, escaped the pursuit of Western Wu cavalry, and came to the city of Xingyang in Daliang.But the case of the Lin family is not top secret in Western Wu. Lin Shuyue's age, appearance, talent and character are all worthy of the name of that Lin Shilang's daughter, and no one has doubted it since then.

The blood feud between Lingzhou and Xiwu is beyond description. If the descendant of the Lin family living in Lingzhou is a man, he would not dare to reveal his identity.

But Lin Shuyue is different after all.

With some people secretly fueling the flames, not only was her identity not kept secret, but it was well known in Xingyang City.

It has to be said that this is a peculiar psychology that is difficult to describe clearly.

After Lin Shuyue's identity was exposed, she did not usher in any verbal criticism against her. Instead, in a slightly weird atmosphere, she became the most popular nobleman in Xingyang, and swept away other competitors in the oiran competition. Became the top card of Qiujiang Building, and has been recognized as the top of the nine masters since last year.

For such an oiran with a bizarre background, there are many dignitaries in Lingzhou who want to be the guest of honor, and it seems that by doing so, they can get rid of the deep hatred brought to Lingzhou and even Daliang by Xiwu cavalry.It's just that so far, no one has been able to do this, which makes Lin Shuyue's worth even more expensive. Usually, if you want to chat with her for half an hour, you have to spend hundreds of taels of silver.

After all, she came from a family of officials and officials, and she was slightly different from the oirans cultivated by the brothel according to the rules. The inner charm soaked in the poems and books could easily arouse the indescribable desires in men's hearts.Just like she was standing in front of Pei Yue at the moment, she didn't put on a delicate and pitiful posture on purpose, but the doubt and sadness in her eyebrows and eyes were enough to move people's hearts.

It's a pity that her demeanor in front of Pei Yue is a bit ridiculous for Niu playing the piano.

If a person's life is compared with the four seasons, for Lin Shuyue, it has been a severe winter since three years ago.

She used to be a lady from an official family who had no worries about food and clothing, and even though she was famous in the capital of Xiwu for her talent, she had never met a strange man, let alone heard all kinds of unbearable words.However, from the day she stepped into Qiujiang Tower, she has to face all kinds of gazes every day, and many of them will not hide the desire in their eyes.

She couldn't remember how long she hadn't seen Pei Yue's eyes like this.

Calm, sharp and straightforward, as if she is not a beautiful woman, but just an insignificant passerby.

"My lord, tonight is the Hibiscus Banquet, and you are one of the most distinguished guests here. If you leave the banquet early, the world will only say that we brothel girls do not know the etiquette, and that the Furong Banquet is not worthy of the name. Of course, our reputation It is not worth mentioning, but the Hibiscus Banquet has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is the most concerned ceremony in Xingyang and even the entire Lingzhou. If the nobleman leaves here, I am afraid it will be inappropriate for the Furong Banquet and even for you."

Lin Shuyue's voice was cold, her logic was complete, and she did not exaggerate or use beauty to move people.

According to her, if Pei Yue walks away at this moment, if it spreads out, people in Lingzhou may misunderstand, that is, the imperial envoy looks down on the hibiscus banquet, and the possible consequence of this is that he wants to promote briquette in the future There will be great resistance.

Pei Yue looked at her with great interest, and realized in his heart that maybe this was the surprise that the woman had prepared?
Seeing that he didn't push Lin Shuyue away roughly, the tense Lingzhou officials behind him breathed a sigh of relief. After appeasing Xue Tao, Liu Renji immediately followed, taking advantage of his age, he stretched out his hand to hold Pei Yue's arm , with a smile on his face: "Master Pei, this matter is just a misunderstanding, Fang Bo has absolutely no intention of disobedience, otherwise, how can His Majesty trust you like a day for 20 years? We in Lingzhou are looking forward to honeycomb coal, That's why I'm a little impatient, your lord has a lot, so don't take it to heart."

Biejia is the second official in the state, second only to the governor, and Liu Renji is an old man with white beard and hair. Pei Yue doesn't seem to be easy to push back, so he can only grunt to express his dissatisfaction.

Qin Xu on the side was full of Lin Shuyue's frowns and smiles, and when he saw this, he also persuaded: "Brother Pei, Xue Fangbo will definitely not have such thoughts, why should the verbal misunderstanding be taken seriously? Why don't you sit down and have a drink first?" Have a glass of wine, appreciate the skills of the Nine Great Masters, and then go back, isn't it too late?"

Although Pei Yue hadn't said yes yet, his eyes had softened a lot.

Liu Renji had been a second official for decades, and his ability to observe words and demeanor had reached the peak, so he stopped persuading him immediately, and hurriedly pulled Pei Yue back, and when he turned around, he gave Lin Shuyue a look of approval without a trace.

After sitting down again, the atmosphere was naturally a little awkward, but everyone in the banquet was full of veterans from the officialdom. Even Zhao Xianhong, the prefect of Xingyang, who had shown unwillingness before, put aside all the past for the time being, and tried his best to activate the atmosphere to resolve the conflict between Xue Tao and Pei Yue. contradiction.

After several rounds of drinking, the topic unknowingly shifted to the Nine Great Masters. After Liu Renji's witty remarks, Pei Yue finally understood that the Furong Banquet had the finale.

After the banquet, the nine masters will perform on the same stage. At the same time, they will select one of the 24 distinguished guests on the top floor in turn to talk about life all night long.Of course, this is not a rule of death. The Nine Families can choose freely, or not at the same time.Even if you really choose someone, it's not just for a spring night, most of the time it's just a real chat about romance.

Take last year's Hibiscus Banquet as an example. Lin Shuyue made her debut on the stage, and she didn't choose anyone. Afterwards, no one used it to make things difficult for her. On the contrary, it made her reputation even better.It is said that there is also a gambling shop that is not afraid of death, and specially opened a novel game, just to see who can guess who will be the first guest of the Lin family, attracting many sluts to place bets.

After Liu Renji finished speaking, Pei Yue smiled faintly, looked to the side and said, "Master Xue is here, don't these courtesans still dare to be arrogant?"

Xue Tao seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment of being exposed by Pei Yue on the spot just now, and said with a gentle face: "I have never participated in the hibiscus banquet before, and Liu Biejia has been doing it for me."

Liu Renji quickly smiled and said: "This is also the arrival of two imperial envoys, so Fang Bo will condescend to come here, so that he can show his respect."

Pei Yue was stunned when he heard the words, and his attitude towards Xue Tao was more kind.

There was a happy atmosphere at the banquet, but it was unknown what everyone was thinking.
