Chapter 18: Lantern Festival Poetry Club: Lu Xifu!

Ning Jiang took his sister to the wooden platform.

The surrounding front is brightly lit, with square tables on high platforms and red carpets.

Although there are also talented and beautiful people from other counties and counties who come to the meeting, there are more young people from the three surrounding counties, and there are naturally many in Gaosuo County.

Along the way, Ningjiang also met a lot of people he knew, although he didn't know him too well, but because he was now one of the four major landowners in Gaosuo, of course there were many people who came to greet him.

On the opposite side, a young man walked in their direction, Ning Jiang smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Isn't this my brother?" Long time no see. ”

This young man is called Jie Zhengwen, he is one of the few local talents in Gaosuo County, Ning Jiang has met him a few times in the past, and when he meets him here at this moment, he naturally wants to say hello.

As soon as Jie Zhengwen looked up and saw that it was him, he let out a cold "um", just brushed his sleeves like this, and passed by him, as if he would get dirty if he said a word more.

"Why is this person so rude?" Little Dream Airway. My brother greeted him kindly, in this kind of festival, even people who are not very familiar with him will answer a salute and greet each other, but this person seems to owe him a few hundred taels of silver, and puts a stinky face on his brother, why is this person like this?

Ning Jiang himself was also stunned...... He doesn't remember that he had offended the text.

In fact, after observing the three-year ritual system, in the past few months, he basically didn't go out of one door, and he didn't step out of the second door, that is, he walked around a little during the New Year, and he didn't offend the text of the Jiejie text if he wanted to. What's more, although Jie Zhengwen is not a person from a big family in Gaosuo, he is now famous, although he is still just a showman, but even if he is a showman, he is also gentle.

In this world of Confucianism, it is not strange for a famous Xiucai to look down on a rich man like Ningjiang, or rather, even if he is born poor, as long as he is admitted to Xiucai, the rich man will rush to receive help...... In case someone wins in the future, maybe they can follow the light, even if they can't get the light, at least don't offend.

However, even if it is normal for Xiucai to look down on the rich man, he will not put on a face like this, not to mention, who in Gaosuo County does not know that Ningjiang intends to take the imperial examination, although he is not even a child now, but he is a scholar anyway. The word "scholar" alone can already distinguish him from ordinary landlords.

The Lu family is because of a few talents, directly from the rich man to the "scholarly door", although the wealth itself has not changed, but the lintel is much more beautiful than the other three...... Hmm, Lu Jia?

Ning Jiang began to vaguely guess what was going on...... But forget it, he loves what he does.

Ning Jiang took his sister and continued to walk inside.

On the other side, Jie Zhengwen met with several men and women and whispered a few words. One of the girls looked at Ning Jiang's back, and her eyes were annoyed: "This bastard is Ning Jiang?" ”

But it turned out that this girl was Lu Xifu, the daughter of Lu Tai's third aunt.

Lu Xifu is also a talented woman in several counties around Yuehu, and her brother Lu Zhiyuan is a famous talent in Gaosuo County. Because she had reached the age when she was almost time to get married, her father asked people to go to Ningfu to propose marriage a few days ago.

In fact, Lu Xifu herself doesn't look down on the son of the Ning family, although she relied on her parents to die early and inherited the family business at a young age, but in the end, the person surnamed Ning is just a rich man in the countryside.

It's just that the marriage of children has always been decided by their parents, and her mother herself is just a maid-turned-concubine, short-sighted, and only thinks that as long as her daughter marries Ning Jiang, at least she doesn't have to live a hard life, so she instigated Lu Tai to go and propose. Lu Xifu thinks very highly of herself, her Lu family is a scholarly family, and her brother is a famous person, because of her brother's relationship, all she knows are talented and famous, and one is just a bit of a stinky money, where is she worthy of her?

She even felt that if she was a swan in the sky, then this Ning Jiang was just a toad on the ground, marrying such a fool with no merit and fame, even with her own identity, no matter what, she was also one of the best talented women in Gaosuo County, and her brother would be lifted sooner or later, a little bit of stinky money in the countryside, if it wasn't for her mother who was anxious to marry her off, where would she be able to climb high?

When the matchmaker went to Ning's house to propose, she also complained angrily in front of several girlfriends, if it wasn't for her parents who had to help her make the decision, where would she look down on the guy surnamed Ning?

She even thought that even if the marriage was completed, she would have to make a big fuss in the future and withdraw from the marriage no matter what......

Then, the matchmaker came back and told his family when she returned...... The lord of the Ning family refused...... Refused...... Damn he refused.

To this day, she still remembers the matchmaker's long sigh: "That master of the Ning family...... He treats himself as a swan...... "Not only does he regard himself as a swan, but he simply thinks that the unmarried girls in Gaosuo County are all toads, and they all want to eat his swan meat." "Alas, don't be angry, don't be angry, your girl is not the first toad to be rejected...... Ah, bah, I mean, it's not the first girl's family to be rejected......""Reason? There's no reason, people just put on a face...... Not worthy of him! ”……

Although Lu Xifu didn't want to marry Ning Jiang in the first place, and even thought that even if the marriage was completed, she would have to withdraw from the marriage anyway, but this did not prevent her from being extremely annoyed in her heart, she didn't have time to dislike this guy, this guy didn't even look down on her? Especially when she said so many big things in front of her girlfriends, the other party rejected her first, which made her, who has always had a high opinion of herself and could even be said to be arrogant, feel extremely ashamed, and she was simply angry, and even her parents often put on a bad face with her.

Scholars are actually very grouped, and the scholars in the surrounding counties often get together, chant poems against each other, and carry out drinking orders, and only those in this circle will be recognized by them. Ning Jiang feels that he is a "scholar", but in the eyes of these people, it probably belongs to "you are also worthy of the surname Zhao"?

Lu Zhiyuan and these talents and talents around him made friends with each other, and even Lu Xifu was very mixed in this circle because of his brother's talent identity and the name of his talented woman, as soon as this matter spread, these talents were all upset for her, and naturally they would not give Ning Jiang a good look.

One of them was called Sheng Jiayi, he cranked the folding fan in his hand, and snorted coldly: "It's just a gentleman with a bit of stinky money at home, and he also came to participate in the Lantern Festival poetry meeting in Yuehu?" ”

The others also responded, Lu Xifu was a talented girl in their group, and she was looked down upon by a gentleman, and even they felt humiliated. Jie Zhengwen said with a smile: "Fu Xiaomei just rest assured, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come, he actually came, and he will be humiliated today." ”

The others followed suit with sneer......
