As for the growing gathering outside the city gates, no one paid any attention to it after Song Guanzi left Hangzhou for Guangling. Wei Nanlu, www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion, may have known the trend of the situation, but he didn't publicize it much, but secretly deployed it. As for Li Lanting and Zhang Xun, they didn't seem to care about the movements outside the city, and buried the inside story and impact of this incident in their hearts.

As for the scholars who seek pleasure, drinking and having fun, they don't care at all about the life or death of the homeless people outside the city, the green buildings on the banks of the Hangzhou River, the painting boats shuttling at night, and the sound of pipa and silk bamboo plucking the piano and the tattered homeless people gathering outside the city form a stark contrast.

After Song Guanzi left, Chen Zhongqing lived his simple life step by step, filling the courtyard with bottles and cans every morning, or chatting with Lao Jia, or going out, occasionally visiting Song Wanwan or Li Xiangjun.

The latter thanked Chen Zhongqing for everything he had done for him, and the Qin family never sent anyone to harass him again, although the entire city of Hangzhou knew that Nangong Hua was about to become the canary of the Chen family, but it was much better than forcing him to marry an old man who was about to enter the ground with half a foot.

And every time Li Xiangjun mentioned this matter, the other party just smiled and waved his hand, and did not make any requests.

In the fire in July, there were all kinds of scandals about the appearance of Bianliang City, which were still fermenting step by step. When I go out from home, I will also hear the neighbors talk about the movements outside the city, and most of the rumors are just picking people's teeth and wisdom, and do not touch the real inside core. Although it seems that everything is slowly developing in a casual situation, in fact, for Chen Zhongqing, and even for the whole body, this is a hidden situation, and all the things are constantly developing under the impetus of all forces.

Nangong Hua's piano skills are second only to Li Tang Bazhao's Chen Ruyu, but after the rouge list, she rarely unexpectedly closed the door and no longer saw people, but made her business better, even when the old bustard met the talents who came in and out, the smile on her face was so exaggerated that she squeezed her eyes together.

Occasionally, at night when fireflies flying, Nangong Hua saw Chen Zhongqing standing along the riverbank, performing tricks for the children nearby, only to see him raise his hand to the sky, and countless green "ghost fires" appeared floating around, and the people around him were stunned. Even the Qinglou woman standing upstairs was attracted by this interesting scene, and they all stood up and whispered about what tricks the talented people of Hangzhou who did not play cards according to common sense were playing.

He did the feat of saving Ye Guozhu from Heming Tower, and won the top spot in the Pearl Ten Hu with one enemy and one hundred, but Fengyue was a place with little whereabouts and never showed up, not to mention a group of young poets who wanted to make things difficult for each other with articles and poems, even Nangong Hua himself had some regrets.

"Sister Nangong, what kind of character is the great talent of Hangzhou? Why do you mention him every time you hear a guest coming? ”

Occasionally, a little girl who couldn't resist her curiosity came to ask her questions with a red face, and she was full of expectations for the talented people in Hangzhou.

"Hmm...... Probably a very powerful person. ”

It is not appropriate to compare the rich and the five cars or the knowledgeable, Chen Zhongqing is like a talented immortal, but he never cares about his knowledge, he is loose and free, and he is unrestrained.

The little girl smiled evilly and said, "Sister Nangong likes it......"

"Hurry up, the little girl loves to chew the root of her tongue."

After waving his hand to drive away the bouncing girl, Nangong Hua also calmed down and thought about what this young man was doing in this lively city full of fireworks, and he didn't need to nest in this square well pool at all. With the background power behind him, being an official or returning to Bianliang has a future than living in the city of Hangzhou, saying that he is a lonely and elegant man hidden in the market, but he is tough in the poetry club, saying that he is ruthless in killing people with a knife, but there is no ruthlessness of a murderer all over his body. said that his pen fell into the storm, but he did not have the solitary height of arrogance, and it was difficult to find him even in Fengyue Field.

A strange genius......

This is Nangong Hua's judgment of Chen Zhongqing, and the next move deepened her judgment of the other party.

Once Nangong Hua curiously asked the other party what the trick was, Chen Zhongqing just took out a thin crystal and told her that this kind of thing is called phosphorus, which is obtained by the vapor produced by cooling with water when human body fluids, sand and charcoal are heated in the furnace, and he has not yet thought about the specific use.

"Prince Zhongqing likes alchemy?"

Nangong Hua's first thought was the actions of the ancient alchemist, and she expressed surprise at his extensive involvement.

Leaning on the railing, with his chin resting on his two hands, Chen Zhongqing looked at the ghost fire in the far suburbs of Hangzhou, heard Nangong Hua's answer, turned around and said with a smile, "Alchemy? Nothing, just a hobby in my spare time. ”

She remembered this great talent who tinkered with some strange things, and liked the hobby of alchemy.

When Mingzhu Shihu met Li Lanting, he also explained to himself like this, nine times out of ten, the great Hongru in Hangzhou City is a frequent visitor to Mingzhu Shihu, and the literati are not obscene, so it is not surprising that Nangong Hua met him.

When talking about Chen Zhongqing, Li Lanting did not show embarrassment, but like an elder who talks eloquently, he does not have the slightest bias when discussing Chen Zhongqing.

"There are very few scholars in Hangzhou City who will dabble in a wide range of fields like Zhongqing's son, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even alchemy, and the great talents only know how to have fun in Fengyue places, or drill camp officialdom, except for Chen Zhongqing."

Nangong Hua was a little surprised, originally he thought that Li Lanting would say that the other party was not doing his job, and everything was inferior, only in the era of high reading, some of Chen Zhongqing's actions really seemed to be out of place, but Li Lanting showed an appreciative attitude, which made him unexpected.

Li Lanting saw through the little girl's mind at a glance, and said happily, "He is very special, Miss Nangong may not believe it, even if he puts aside his background and background, he can rise to the top, he was originally a talented Honghu, unlike those mud that can't support the wall." Maybe you've heard rumors about him, but he's even more incredible than the rumors. ”

Li Lanting had heard a lot of gossip about this young man, among which about Nangong Hua, he and Zhang Xun only smiled heartily, and did not point it out. The veterans on the Fengyue field often have seven tricks and exquisite hearts, and they can see through each other's paths at a glance.

So when talking to Nangong Oiran, he didn't break a layer of window screen, "Nangong girl, Zhongqing is a good talent, and he will also step into the court in the future, don't miss it." ”

The other party said this, but it made Nangong Hua's heart a little swaying.

However, the next changes in Hangzhou City were a little unexpected.
