Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Dugu Xiude does have this self-confidence, his father Dugu Ji is the fourth rank of the Zhao Dynasty, and can impeach the state and county officials, and his grandfather Dugu Zang is the Taishou of Longshan, and Dugu Zang is the fourth son of Dugu Xin. It can be described as a family origin and a profound heritage.
And Dugu Xiude also boasts of his extraordinary appearance, and is often said by his grandmother that he has a bit of Dugu Xin's appearance back then. You must know that Dugu Xin single-handedly founded the Dugu Valve, which is the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and is even more handsome and chic, known as Dugu Lang back then.
Dugu Xiude runs his own family, and he is also a talent, but his family style is usually very strict, and he is not allowed to go to Mazhangtai in the eastern capital, and he simply can't look down on the Qinglou woman. Now that he has come to Zhuo County, Qu Yanran is just a good talent, how can he not buy the face of the Dugu family.
At that moment, after Dugu Xiude reported his name, he glanced at Yun Niang and said, "Why don't you even want to see each other?" ”
Yun Niang covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, since Qu Yanran became famous, she didn't know such a scene, but she hadn't seen such a noble son who held his net worth to oppress people for a while.
Yun Niang pulled Xue Wanshu over at the moment, and said with a smile: "Xue Gongzi, this friend of yours is the first time to come to Mingyue Tower, and I don't know the rules of everyone Qu, so you can persuade him." ”
Xue Wanshu did say: "Brother Dugu, it's true, Qu is different from ordinary ......."
Dugu Xiude said: "Brother Xue, Mo Yan." At that moment, Dugu Xiude looked at Yun Niang and said: "This is Brother Xue of the Xue family in Hedong, this is Brother Lu of the Lu family in Fanyang, plus me, the face of the three of them is here today, if everyone Qu doesn't come to see us, they don't take the three of us in their eyes." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chengqing and Xue Wanshu both felt a great loss of face, although they were born in the scholar clan, but their family education was very strict, and when they went out, the elders had a lot of explanations, and they could not hold the background of the children of the scholar clan to oppress people. But Dugu Xiude said this, and they also knew that when they spoke at this time, they were sweeping Dugu Xiude's face, so they simply remained silent.
Yun Niang secretly despised in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she said: "Dugu Gongzi, I really want to see you, so please move." ”
Dugu Xiude felt a big face, and glanced back at Lu Chengqing and Xue Wanshu. At that moment, Yun Niang made a gesture of please, Dugu Xiude took a step at the moment, glanced back at Li Chongjiu and said: "Everyone Qu is sick, it's not good for too many people to disturb it, Brother Xu might as well have a drink here." ”
Lu Chengqing can go, Xue Wanshu can go, Lu Qi can go to Germany, Wen Yanbo can also go, but Li Chongjiu can't go. This is undoubtedly a naked slap in the face on the spot.
Li Chongjiu's eyes narrowed, and Lu Qi frowned and said: "Dugu Sanlang, this person is my brother's guest of honor, and everyone is also Brother Xue's intention, what did you send him for?" ”
Lu Qi has always been accustomed to raising the bar with Dugu Xiude, so he is not afraid of him. Dugu Xiude was slightly annoyed, looked at Lu Chengqing, and wanted him to restrain his sister, but Lu Chengqing was also in a dilemma at the moment.
At this time, Yun Niang on the side said: "Slow, this Brother Xu is so familiar." ”
At that moment, it was everyone's turn to be surprised, and Dugu Xiude said disdainfully: "Why Yun Niang, this person is just a cloth cloth, and he has also been a famous flower under the moon back then?" ”
Yun Niang chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, I have really seen it in Dongdu." Well, I remembered that he had come with King Qi and his guests. ”
This time it was Dugu Xiude's turn to be shocked, and he said in his heart who this person was, Li Mi valued him, and he could accompany King Qi. And Lu Chengqing was also secretly suspicious, and said in his heart, isn't this person a general of Shanggu County? How could he not only see Li Mi, but also King Qi. Could it be that Li Chongjiu stood on his own in Shanggu, and behind him was the support of King Qi and one of Li Mi?
Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "A few years ago, I was in a hurry, but I didn't expect Yun Niang to remember. ”
Yun Niang smiled at the moment, took Li Chongjiu's hand, and said: "The happiness of life is nothing more than meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country, since you have come to Mingyue Tower, let me Yun Niang be a host." ”
Dugu Xiude saw that Yun Niang valued Li Chongjiu so much, he tasted it at the moment, snorted lightly, and walked away. On the side, Lu Qi saw that Li Chongjiu was so close to Yun Niang, but he was jealous.
Immediately, thanks to the blessing of Dugu Xiude, everyone came to a Yaxuan on the third floor.
Everyone saw Qu Yanran who was making tea in a silk veil, which was a kind of life that the southern scholars liked, called tasting tea, but the northern scholars rarely saw it, and some people even grabbed the roots of the tree to drink medicine. Everyone was worried that with Dugu Xiude becoming a villain this time, Qu Yanran would be displeased. didn't expect Qu Yanran's expression to be as usual, and she gave them a look at the slightest because they came uninvited.
Seeing this, Lu Chengqing couldn't help but secretly praise, Qu Yanran deserves to be called everyone, not to mention his appearance and talent, just by virtue of this bearing, he is worthy of the word everyone.
As the so-called guests and hosts treat each other, Qu Yanran treats each other with the courtesy of the host, and everyone cannot be negligent. On this high-level social occasion of the Great Sui, everyone was sitting on the reed mat, with their hands on their knees, and their eyes were not squinting, all of them were very well-behaved, and they were worried about being looked down upon by the beauties.
And Qu Yanran focused on boiling tea, without raising his head to look at everyone, at this moment the copper kettle on the charcoal fire was already faintly sounding, Qu Yanran lightly lifted the yarn sleeve, took out a silver spoon, and picked the snow-white refined salt into the copper kettle. Li Chongjiu looked at this scene like a lady studying ink, and it instantly entered the painting.
After a while, the water in the pot boiled like falling beads. Qu Yanran lifted the lid of the pot again, gently stirred it in the water with a bamboo tong, and while stirring, she scooped some tea powder as fine as broken rice from the porcelain bottle with a silver spoon and slowly threw it into the boiling water.
At this moment, the house was full of the fragrance of tea, and everyone had never seen someone so attentive to boiling a pot of tea. Qu Yanran slowly got up at this time, poured half a cup into the tea bowl in front of everyone, and then poured half a cup for herself, and then raised the cup between her eyebrows to invite, and lightly opened her lips and said a please.
Halfway into the house, Qu Yanran said a word.
When a cup of tea enters the stomach, everyone is full of comfort, but compared with the pleasing tea ceremony, this full of comfort is secondary, and the real intoxication is to create an atmosphere.
On the side, Lu Qi was already convinced, Qu Yanran's every movement seemed to contain rhythm and elegance, and she was more like a scholar than a woman from the scholar clan.
I heard that the Jiangnan scholars were inherited from the Qin and Han dynasties, and after crossing to the south, they accumulated for hundreds of years, and they were far closer to the orthodoxy of the Han family than the northern scholars. She knows that the women of the Jiangnan Shi clan have been taught and learned a set of tea ceremonies since they were children, and they have a family background of a hundred years of condensation and their own set of rules. It's a pity that when the Sui Dynasty broke the Southern Dynasty, countless Jiangnan Shi clans were wiped out, and now the tea ceremony is far from what it used to be.
But today it actually reappeared from the other party.,Hey,I haven't heard her pipa yet.。
Unlike Lu Qi's inner tremor, Dugu Xiude, Xue Wanshu, and Lu Chengqing do not have the delicate feeling of a woman. When men look at women, there has always been only one constant standard, and that is face.
After a bowl of tea, Dugu Xiude glanced at Qu Yanran's face, and said in his heart, this is a real woman, compared with her in the past, it was like chewing wax, no wonder Brother Xue is usually a handsome person, and he doesn't want to think about her.
And Xue Wanshu was like a gentleman, talking and laughing with Qu Yanran about the tea ceremony. In front of the beauty, Xue Wanshu put on the best state of being suave, and the conversation was quite speculative. As for Lu Chengqing, he already has a good wife in the room, and he is very affectionate, but he acts as a foil on the side. As the host, Qu Yanran smiled and talked to everyone, making everyone feel at home.
When Wen Yanbo was asked, and when he learned that the other party was a celebrity today, Qu Yanran couldn't help but have blue eyes, and chatted with him a few more words, and he was quite respectful in his words. In the end, Li Chongjiu also chatted a few words, but Qu Yanran seemed to him as if he had known him for the first time, and after talking a few words, there was no topic.
Seeing Qu Yanran's cold attitude, as if he had never seen himself, Li Chongjiu sat on the reed mat, spared his nose, thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
During the banquet, others didn't care too much, Qu Yanran's attitude towards Li Chongjiu, only Lu Qi and Dugu Xiude took it to heart.
Looking at Li Chongjiu's appearance, Dugu Xiude's heart was very happy, and he said in his heart, what kind of old man, it was clear that Qu Yanran didn't even remember it. It seems that the Qu family also dislikes the poor and loves the rich, this kid is dressed so shabbyly, at first glance, he knows that he is a child of a poor family, so he doesn't pay much attention to it. Hmph, if I were him, I wouldn't come in and lose this face.
At the moment, Dugu cultivated virtue and joy, and chatted loudly.
After a while, Qu Yanran said that she was unwell, everyone knew how to be measured, and even Dugu Xiude was not good enough to be old and cheeky, so she said goodbye immediately.
In the Lujia Mansion in the northwest of the city.
Lu Chengqing, who had returned from Mingyue Tower, was standing behind a middle-aged man with his hands down, and said: "Uncle, this is the way it is, the little nephew wants to think that Li Chongjiu has been outside the North Land recently, and the momentum is very big, and it is indeed not to be underestimated. ”
The middle-aged man put his hands behind his back, frowned and said, "Why is it so coincidental, this Xue Shixiong has just had the intention of going south, and this Li Chongjiu plans to enter Zhuo County." Can this Li Chongjiu be a prophet? ”
"What do you mean, uncle?"
The middle-aged man stopped his hand and said, "Today in Mingyue Tower, Xue Shixiong has made it clear that he will go south in the near future, so I asked him to win over my Lu family and how many scholars can recruit troops in Zhuo County to protect themselves, and he has nodded and agreed." ”
"Uncle, Xue Shixiong even agreed to this, in the past, the Yang family was very jealous of us like the Hebei scholars who had taken refuge in Gaoqi back then, which shows how far the current situation in the court has reached."
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "In the past, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court did not support it, so it recruited troops on its own with local heroes, leveled the Yellow Turbans, and finally divided the heroes. The world is in turmoil right now, and this scene is so similar to the end of the Han Dynasty. ”
Lu Chengqing trembled and asked, "Uncle, do you have the intention of letting the Lu family deer the world, this is absolutely not good!" ”
