Chapter 303: Bringing Closer Together
Jiang Tao's eyes turned, looked Su Chen up and down, and showed an incredulous look: "You are Su Yixuan, the first talent of Jiangzuo?" β
Su Chen replied with a smile: "Don't dare to be, what is the first talent in Jiangzuo, it's just a false name." β
Liu Dong was a little stumbling when he spoke, and said excitedly: "No, no, no...... False name, the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers", the clothes and ribbons are gradually ...... Kuan will not regret it, and everyone will be ..... haggard for Yixiao, which can definitely be passed down through the ages! β
Xia Baosong was also a little excited, and said: "It's not just words, that peach blossom poem, most of the talents in Jinling City have memorized it backwards, the peach blossom nunnery in the peach blossom dock, the peach blossom fairy under the peach blossom hermitage, the peach blossom fairy planted peach trees, and folded flower branches as wine money, and the writing was too free and natural." β
Jiang Tao asked again with confirmation: "Young Master Su, are you really Su Chen and Su Yixuan's son?" β
Su Chen smiled bitterly and said, "If it's fake, it's indeed me." β
Jiang Tao clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Great, we finally met Su Gongzi." β
Xia Baosong sighed: "Yes, since I turned over Su Gongzi's poetry collection, I was really amazed, and some people even commented on Su Gongzi's words, jumping out of the words between the flowers and the five pronouns, set graceful, bold, natural in one, unpredictable, every word has surpassed the predecessors, no one can match, some people even evaluate you as the fairy in the words!" β
"Yes, yes, Xiao Su...... Words and words immortals! Liu Dong added.
Su Chen almost burst out laughing, Xiao Su Cixian, this nickname is too weird, not as smooth as Jiang Zuo Sulang.
"After all, writing words is to cultivate sentiment, and it is just a small way, so it should not be called like this." Su Chen is very modest, because those poems are not original to him, so he deserves it.
But the three of them didn't know these things, and when they saw him so vain, humble and decent, they admired him even more.
This kind of mentality of honor and disgrace and maintaining a modest character at all times is even more rare!
Su Chen politely invited: "Three sons, please get on the bus, let's go to the house for a talk." β
Jiang Tao pushed his hand and refused: "No, no, no, this is the royal car, non-ordinary people can board it, I will wait for ordinary people, just follow the car." β
Xia Baosong nodded and said: "Yes, it is a special honor for the official family to give the escort, and Prince Su can only enjoy it when he enters the palace to treat the queen." The three of us really couldn't cross the rules, so we followed behind the forbidden army and went to the house with Su Gongzi's team as guests, and we were satisfied. β
Liu Dong added: "This is what I said...... Makes sense! β
Su Chen sincerely invited, but the three of them felt that it was not in accordance with the rules, and they did not dare to despise the royal family, for fear that it would spread and bring trouble to their reputation, maybe they would be caught by someone with a heart to sue and ruin their future, so they didn't dare to board the car.
"Okay, then Miss Peng and I will sit back in the car, this is also close to Peng's mansion, the three of us will follow behind the team, let's go to the mansion and have a good talk." Su Chen could only obey the wishes of the three of them.
"Very good, very good!"
Jiang Tao and others did not feel aggrieved, but took it for granted.
In feudal society, the concept of hierarchy is deep-rooted, even if they are scholars, they have always regarded themselves as high, but in the face of imperial power and the imperial court, they have a kind of respect and obedience in their bones, believing that loyalty to the monarch and the court is the foundation of the scholar's foothold.
Su Chen didn't force it, so he pulled Peng Jingqing back to the carriage, and the team continued to move forward.
Peng Jingqing asked, "Su Chen, why are you so eager to make friends with the three of them?" β
Su Chen said seriously: "I'm also a scholar, so isn't it normal to make friends with peers?" β
Peng Jingqing shook his head and said: "No, when you were in Runzhou, you disdained the invitations of those scholars, and didn't go to the gathering of talented people at all, and didn't want to integrate into that circle." β
Su Chen was exposed on the spot, slightly embarrassed, he was really reluctant to participate in Runzhou, because there were few like-minded people, and he was pulled over to let him write poems, etc., of course he was unwilling.
But now that he has come to Jinling, he will mix in the capital in the future, and he needs some friends, whether he enters Hanlin or enters the career of the Sixth Division, he always needs the support of some scholars of the same age to be available.
Therefore, Su Chen's mentality is different now, and he is willing to contact these readers, especially those who have some reputation in history books and have a pure character.
This Xia Baosong and Liu Dong fit this type of person.
"They are different, I can feel it, it's worth getting acquainted. Besides, I am about to come to Jinling to live, and I will have more contact with some colleagues, my generation of scholars, and I will have a care in the future. β
When Peng Jingqing heard this, he also understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and said no more.
Su Chen asked: "Recently, is it convenient to live in Peng Mansion?" β
Peng Jingqing nodded and said: "Of course it's convenient, my father is frugal on weekdays, but I didn't expect to save a lot of silver, and I came to Jinling to buy a big mansion directly, there are not many people in our Peng Mansion, and there are some empty rooms." When I got home, I asked the servants to clean up an empty side yard and clean it up for you to live in temporarily, and to receive visitors. β
Su Chen touched his chin with his hand, and asked again: "Will it make the people in your house think that I am a worthless son-in-law?" β
Peng Jingqing's eyes were bright, and he chuckled and said, "Hehe, if you are a son-in-law, my father will definitely be crazy." However, I know you don't want to, because the old man of the Bai family used Sister Su Su and Wan Guan's wealth to lure you, but you didn't agree, so you know that you are still very repulsed by the identity of a son-in-law. Don't worry, show your identity as Jiang Zuo Sulang, the servants of the Peng Mansion are estimated to feel honored to see you, who will chew the root of their tongue and say that gossip! β
Su Chen nodded slightly, looking at Peng Jingqing's eyes, full of affection, this girl has been separated for a while, and it seems that her mind has become more flexible.
After about a stick of incense, the convoy arrived at Gufeng Lane, named after the fact that some maple trees were planted in this alley.
The mansions where you live, most of them are above the fifth or sixth grade, below the third grade, the real royal relatives, and the big people above the third grade, often live in Jingui Lane and Wuyi Lane.
The escort Praetorian Guards completed the task, led the team leader to say goodbye to Su Chen, and led the people to leave, leaving only Su Chen and the other five people.
Su Chen said to Liu Xiajiang and the others: "The three sons of Lao are accompanying them on foot." β
"Yes, Master Su doesn't have to be polite." Jiang Tao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
Xia Baosong looked at the noble mansion in front of him and asked softly, "Which Peng Mansion is this?" β
Su Chen smiled faintly and said: "This is the newly appointed Jiangning Mansion Yin, Lord Peng's mansion, this Peng girl is the daughter of the Peng Mansion, and she is also the fiancΓ©e of the next generation." β
"Lord Yin Peng of Jiangning Mansion." All three were dumbfounded.
They didn't expect that the mansion where Su Chen took them to talk turned out to be the mansion of Master Peng of Jiangning Mansion, and they also knew for the first time that Su Chen was originally in a relationship with Governor Peng, and it was a quasi-Weng son-in-law.
