first minister

Chapter 104

The handsome scholar's face turned red almost when he sensed where this gaze was pointing at.

"Ahem, brother, why don't you talk?"

Xia Jingyun quickly reacted, and bowed his hands, "Your Majesty has indeed come from a long way, and I came here just because of the name, so I feel like I'm unfamiliar."

A hint of cunning flashed in the handsome scholar's eyes, the corners of his mouth curled into a very shallow arc, and he became more and more charming without knowing it, "Come here for the name, what is the name for?"

"Naturally, it is the century-old family tradition of the Su family, accumulated for generations, what else can there be?"

Xia Jingyun smiled, and before the maid behind the handsome scholar had an angry look in her eyes but had no time to speak, she continued: "After all, that Pearl of Dongting is waiting to see no outsiders. How dare we have such extravagant expectations when we wait for unknown people to come here."

The handsome scholar smiled slightly, "It's just a girl with a name, so what if you see it or not? Why don't you find an old farmer, ask about farming, find a merchant, and talk about money and food."

"That's a bad word."

Xia Jingyun shook his head, "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good. In this world, whether you are chasing fame and fortune, or devoting yourself to managing the world and benefiting the people, they are all pursuits of personal ideals. However, the love between men and women comes from nature. It is an instinct hidden in the depths of our consciousness that has been evolved for thousands of years since the birth of human beings in order to reproduce. If I can see it, I still hope to see it."

The handsome scholar smiled and said: "This statement sounds quite deviant, but when you think about it carefully, it is a bit novel."

He looked at Xia Jingyun, "Then what do you want to say after seeing him? You can't just stare, can you?"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, and added without any haste, "I am a direct descendant of the Su family, and we met by fate. If possible, I might be able to introduce you to my brother."

Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "That's a lot to talk about, astronomy and geography, poetry and songs, strange words of wisdom and strange words, techniques of wealth, money and food, and methods of strange obscenities, it depends on what the Pearl of Dongting wants to hear."

The handsome scholar smiled and said: "I heard that the number one son of Yunmeng State, Mr. Bai, is here today. Brother, you speak so loudly. Could it be that Mr. Bai?"

"Am I loud?" Xia Jingyun frowned, breathed into his palm, and smelled it.

The handsome scholar and the maid behind him were taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Even Xie Yanzhi and Chen Fugui were speechless for a while, what kind of temperament is this son!Always showing a little tired and lazy from time to time.

"Mr. Bai's talent is outstanding, how can I compare with it. It's just that he has learned a lot, and he knows a little bit about it, so he can have more conversations with people."

"That's like astronomy and geography. What can I say?"

"Brother, do you know why this Yueyang City is called Yueyang?"

"The mountains, the south, and the water to the north are called yang, this is common sense."

"Then why are mountains south and river north called Yang?"

"This"

"When I was young, I liked to look up at the sky. I found that although the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it mostly rises from the south, that is, it rises from the southeast and sets in the southwest. If this house is not located in the south of the mountain, it will not be sunny, bright and transparent. Therefore, the south of the mountain is yang, and the north of the mountain is yin. I also pay more attention to the water system. The rivers and rivers in my summer all run from west to east. Whenever the water washes the south bank more often, the silt that is entrained tends to accumulate in the north. And the south bank is not conducive to building cities near the water, so most of the cities are in the north of the water."

"What about the weird tales?"

"I once heard a story told by a Taoist from Youfang, it was called A Chinese Ghost Story"

"What about the strange and ingenious skills? I heard that the concubine De concubine once obtained a precious mirror. Do you know the skill of waiting for a second?"

"Ahem, I can try."

After a long talk, before I knew it, the sun was already setting in the west.

The handsome scholar bowed, "Young Master, you have learned so much and so much novelty, and you have learned a lot from the chat. I will definitely ask you a question or two when I go back. Maybe the young miss is willing to meet you."

A meaningful smile hung on Xia Jingyun's face, "No need, it's a worthwhile trip to come here and see Brother Taiwan. See you in the future."

"Farewell."

"Walk slowly."

"Miss, this Mr. Xia is really handsome, fair and not weak, thin but handsome, gentle and jade-like, just like walking out of a painting."

After leaving Xia Jingyun, the maid immediately opened her mouth excitedly.

Su Yanyan, who was pretending to be a scholar, turned his head and glanced at this spring-loving girl, "You have been with me for so many years, and you only know how to look at skins. You really let me down."

The maid was not afraid either, "I'm not a young lady, I don't need to be so powerful, just look at my skin and keep my eyes peeled!"

Su Yanyan walked steadily, with a calm demeanor, and said slowly: "This Mr. Xia is indeed not an ordinary scholar, he has a real talent and learning, coupled with his amazing poetic talent, this aspect really does not disappoint."

The maid laughed and said: "Then miss, should you think about it, maybe she is a good match for the miss!"

Su Yanyan rolled her eyes lightly, "When we meet, we will talk about marriage, and you are the only one who recommends himself as a pillow."

When the words came to his lips, he felt that they were quite vulgar, so he swallowed them back.

"It's ridiculous that Mr. Xia doesn't know the identity of Miss, and still feels that the trip is worthwhile, which is a bit funny."

"He has recognized me a long time ago. He is not as shallow as you said."

"Huh?" The maid looked surprised.

When Xia Jingyun returned to the small courtyard, Bai Yunbian was still there listlessly sighing.

"Hey, Yanzu, do you think we really left like this?"

Xia Jingyun poured himself a cup of tea, "What else do you want to do if you don't leave? Do you want to stay here for a long time?"

"You, you know what to ask! Of course you want to see the famous Dongting Pearl!"

Bai Yunbian had a look of emotion on his face, "I can finally understand the pain in the hearts of those who came to see me but couldn't get it. I decided to put down my figure after I go back, show respect to the corporals, and share the joy with the people."

After getting along for a long time, Xia Jingyun didn't even bother to talk to him, so he took a sip of his teacup, "Actually, there's nothing to look at, it's just more beautiful, fairer skin, thinner waist, softer legs, longer and straighter legs, more graceful figure, one nose and two eyes, nothing different."

Bai Yunbian's eyes widened, with an unbelievable expression on his face, as if to say: Do you want to listen to what nonsense you are talking about?
"According to what you say, all the women in the world are not the same! Why don't your majesty just find a few servants who sell tofu and wash clothes to serve in the palace?"

"Your Majesty, the king of a country, it is understandable to eat more carefully."

Baiyunbian:
"No!" He suddenly looked at Xia Jingyun, "You were very enthusiastic about going to see Miss Su's family before, and that's what you said when you came back after going out."

He pressed down on the table, propped it up with both hands, leaned forward, and looked at Xia Jingyun with burning eyes, "Have you met Miss Su Family?"

Xia Jingyun didn't panic at all, "Is it possible for me to be someone you don't even see?"

Bai Yunbian vented his aura, "That's right, how can you do things that this young master can't do."

The maid on the side wanted to remind in a low voice that there were already many cases along the way, but she wisely didn't say anything.

Xia Jingyun stood up slowly, cupped his hands towards the white clouds, "Master Bai, keep thinking, I'll go to rest for a while."

After returning to the room, Xie Yanzhi rushed up and said in a low voice with excitement; "Master, is that really the legendary Miss Su family just now?"

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Nine out of ten."

Xie Yanzhi was amazed, and said that even though it was men's clothing, she could still see its beauty. She really had a peerless appearance, which was not inferior to that of a concubine or empress.

Xia Jingyun looked at her, and couldn't help but tease, "Why are you so happy when I meet other women, and you don't see any displeasure?"

"Fortunately, the young master valued Yan Zhi, and she kept it by her side. She knew how to behave, and she didn't dare to have unreasonable thoughts. How could someone like the young miss of the Su family be unhappy because of it?"

Xie Yanzhi explained seriously, and then smiled slyly, "Besides, I'm not useless, at least Miss Su's is still inferior to me."

Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows, his eyes moved down quietly.

He nodded fairly.

In the evening, Bai Yunbian took Xia Jingyun together to visit the second master of the Su family.

In an ordinary meeting, Xia Jingyun didn't have any chance to show off, and at the same time, he didn't have any desire to show off, so he just silently served as an accompanying guest.

The second master of the Su family also carefully arranged for his own son, and hosted a banquet for everyone.

Satisfied with food and drink, they each went home. They thought that this day would pass peacefully but not peacefully, but a thunderstorm blew up the Sujiawu who was about to fall asleep.

A group of clan soldiers directly broke into the small courtyard where Xia Jingyun and others lived temporarily, and surrounded them.

"What are you doing! This son is the son of the governor of the state, so you should retreat quickly!"

Xia Jingyun also stretched out his hand to stop Chen Fugui, who was about to strike, and looked at the field solemnly.

"Mr. Bai, I'm sorry, please come with us tonight. As long as you cooperate with us, we promise not to hurt you! The rest of the guests in Sujiawu are also like this, and they are not deliberately targeting Mr. Bai and his party."

Bai Yun thought for a while with a sullen face, then nodded.

Taking advantage of the time when they were "escorted" by the soldiers of the Su family, Bai Yun whispered, "They know my identity, and if they want to do this, they will not be afraid of offending others. Either they have gone crazy, or something big has happened to the Su family, and they have to go crazy."

Xia Jingyun also nodded in agreement. Obviously, something happened to the Su family.

But when they arrived at the place where they were collectively detained and heard the truth from well-informed bystanders, they were also dumbfounded.

While there was a sudden realization in my heart, I was also dumbfounded.

The Patriarch of the Su family was poisoned and left unconscious, with no clue of life or death!
