Chapter 90: Traveling Together
After Su Chen got up in the morning, he practiced martial arts and boxing, and insisted on physical training, obviously feeling that his physical strength was much better than half a month ago, and his fists had a sense of strength.
Ling'er came out of the kitchen, she had already made breakfast, and she had already finished practicing the boxing routine, and she was stronger than Su Chen in terms of hardship.
"Brother Su Chen has breakfast."
"It's so early today?" Su Chen asked.
Ling'er replied: "Before Sister Qinqing left last night, she told me to cook early, so that my brother could finish eating earlier, because the eldest lady of the Bai family will come to pick you up early this morning and go to the Xufu Poetry Club together." ”
When Su Chen heard this, he suddenly remembered, a few days ago, Bai Susu invited him and asked him to accompany him to attend, using Su Yixuan's identity to pretend to be a great talent, giving Bai Jia's face and blocking the trouble of some suitors for her. In return, Bai Susu promised to renovate the Su house for him, and then the furniture in the master bedroom and the wing room in the front and back yards were all included.
The two had their own needs, and it was easy to reach this verbal agreement.
Although the Bai family is a wealthy businessman in Jiangzuo, rich in the world, and one of the nine major families in Runzhou, its financial resources can also rank in the top 20 in the Tang Kingdom. But the merchant had a low status, was despised by the officials, the powerful, the literati and the writers, and could easily become a lamb to the slaughter. Therefore, after the big family became rich, the more eager the family was to lean in the direction of the literati, and also wanted to cultivate a few talented people to take the imperial examination, enter the official career to take care of it, or add some talents and elegance to the family, and less copper smell.
It's a pity that ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, to convert into a scholarly door, how easy is it? It's not something that can be done in more than ten years, and some people from the Bai family's side clan have also studied in these years, but the highest is to enter the end of the top three in the imperial examination, and the Bai family needs to spend money to make up for it, so that they can barely go out and get a county or a master to fill the vacancies. In the court, there are no big backers and clansmen at all.
Now that the Bai family is in crisis, Bai Susu has always wanted to reverse the situation, change some of the outsiders' views of the Bai family, and try to make friends with the talented women of Runzhou City, the children of eunuchs, and the relatives of wealthy merchants, and expand contacts. Therefore, Bai Susu also has some expectations for the performance of the Xufu Poetry Society.
It just so happened that Su Chen was talented, Bai Su was wealthy, and they each paid some, which was very refreshing to promote this strong cooperation.
At the end of the day, a delicate carriage stopped at the door of the Su house, Bai Susu, Peng Jingqing, and Xiaotong walked into the Su family, and Yingying came to the courtyard.
Su Chen was strolling around the courtyard after dinner, when he heard footsteps, looked up, and saw the peerless sister flowers that came together, which was pleasing to the eye, his heart moved slightly, and he opened his mouth to say hello: "You are here." ”
The two daughters' dressing has its own characteristics, Bai Susu is dressed in a plain white neon dress, which is embellished with pearls and jade pendants, and the green silk thread is embroidered with green bamboo patterns, which complement each other, plus the beautiful face, the abundance of Qingfu, and the charm of autumn water...... It's really beautiful, no wonder some people praise her as the first beauty in Runzhou.
Peng Jingqing is dressed in a black clothes, similar to a man's scholar's clothes, easy to hairpin and Ben, a woman dressed as a man, her skin is white like new snow, her pretty face is peachy, her eyebrows are picturesque, and the contrast with the blue color makes her skin more beautiful. At the same time, she has a bit of heroism, and she is more handsome than a suave talent.
Su Chen was stunned when he saw Bai Susu's appearance, and he felt a little like praising the city; And when I saw Peng Jingqing, I was a little ashamed, this girl was much more handsome than him when she wore men's clothes.
Bai Susu rarely showed a soft voice and said: "Master Su, the new clothes and shoes we brought, let Xiaotong dress up for you." ”
"Do you want makeup?" Su Chen was a little stunned.
Bai Susu chuckled: "Because you want to use Su Yixuan's identity, you have to be simple and easy to look at, at least it looks like there are some similarities and differences with you now." ”
"Is it so troublesome?" Su Chen didn't expect to attend a Xufu poetry meeting and prepare for these.
Bai Susu nodded, met his gaze and said, "Unless you plan to announce it to the public now, Su Chen is Su Yixuan, so you can swagger out like this." ”
When Su Chen heard this, he felt that it made sense, and it was not appropriate to disclose his identity for the time being, which would bring endless trouble, so he obediently cooperated.
Half an hour later, Su Chen was dressed up by Xiaotong, and put a little foundation on his face, making his skin even fairer.
The eyebrows are thickened and thickened, like sword eyebrows.
The hairstyle was also combed and changed, and a Confucian scarf was worn, which is a kind of scarf popular among scholars.
Coupled with a light white shirt sewn from high-quality silk materials, it is cut and fitted, and after the upper body, it suddenly looks tall, and the jade tree is in the wind.
People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Su Chen faced the bronze mirror, looking at the appearance of a little fresh meat, he felt that he was handsome and cool, and finally raised his eyebrows!
When Su Chen walked out of the room, he was standing in the courtyard, patiently waiting for his daughters, after seeing his face and figure, they were all stunned, obviously they didn't expect Su Chen to change, he really had the temperament of a carefree scholar, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and graceful and suave.
Ling'er clasped her hands together and said with a look of surprise: "Wow, Brother Su Chen, you are so handsome in this outfit!" ”
"Hahaha, my brother has always been very handsome, but he usually eats by his talent, not by his face. Therefore, I didn't care about the appearance of this skin, but due to the needs of the world, I was reluctant to make it difficult today, so I went to the Xufu Poetry Club with this jade tree in the wind, handsome and majestic, and blinded the eyes of those talented women and talented women! Su Chen put one hand behind his back and stood there coquettishly.
Bai Susu has gradually become accustomed to the sometimes 'naughty' temperament of this Su Chen Gongzi, and he didn't say anything about it, but just said lightly: "It's not too early, let's go." ”
Peng Jingqing was not so knowledgeable, and muttered as he walked: "A little white face!" ”
Su Chen was stunned when he heard this, looked at Peng Jingqing's distant Qianying, and gestured his fist, if he hadn't been able to beat her, now he really wanted to go up and kick her ass, so that she wouldn't be angry with herself.
The carriage moved, and the wheels of the car crushed against the bluestone street, making a "squeak" sound. The roadside market outside the car has become bustling, and the vendors are noisy, but the inside of the car is quiet and eerie.
Su Chen, Bai Susu, Peng Jingqing, and Xiaotong sat in a carriage, although the car was luxurious and exquisite, and it was quite spacious inside, but it was a little crowded when there were four people.
Su Chen sat opposite Bai Susu and Peng Jingqing, and their eyes would collide with each other from time to time, and one look would often touch some other nerves.
Handsome men and beautiful women, at such a close distance, smelling the faint smell of each other's bodies, there is a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.
"It's awkward for me to look at, and you still don't have to pretend to be a genius in the future." Peng Jingqing looked at Su Chen, who had red lips and white teeth and was dressed as a scholar, who was too feminine and creamy, lacking the masculine and rough beauty of a man, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Su Chen was not happy, and retorted: "Did you ask me to pretend to be good, thinking that I was so good!" ”
Bai Susu said softly: "Qinqing, this is a play, you have to adapt as soon as possible, so as not to get the Xu Mansion and show your feet!" ”
"Got it." Peng Jingqing listened to Su Su's words very much, and after glaring at Su Chen, he retracted his gaze, ignored him, and began to take Su Su's hand and chat.
