Chapter 31: One Day

Matsuma Academy is not a rootless mountain, but on the second day, Bai Nanxiang still followed her usual habits, and woke up from her meditation to wash.

After a brief breakfast, the little girl climbed back into bed and meditated.

At noon, Lin Sheng and Lin Jin took the little girl to Tingfeng Lou for a banquet.

Because of the relationship between the two factions, Bai Nanxiang naturally received a lot of meeting gifts, and also recognized several brothers and sisters who could not be called relatives.

When they came out of Tingfeng Tower and returned to Songjian Academy, Cun Derong and the four of them had already arrived at Songjian Academy from home.

As soon as they met, Cun Derong took out a lot of food and drinks, saying that they were specially appointed to buy famous snacks from all over the capital, so that Bai Nanxiang could eat fresh.

Wang Nianlu, Chen Peng and Zhao Bo also brought some small gifts from home.

After two months of getting along, several people were already very familiar, so they were not polite, and accepted each other's small gifts.

Zhao Bo didn't know what stimulated him when he went back this time, so he came back and put the gift on the table, said hello to a few people in a muffled voice, and returned to the room with a cold face.

It will take a day before the meeting officially starts, and a few people have nothing to do today, except for Zhao Bo, a few people got together to gossip.

The one who is in charge of talking is Cun Derong, who is the most chatty.

He shook a small fan and sat with Bai Nanxiang at a stone table next to the rockery in the courtyard, and counted the delicious and fun places inside and outside the capital with Bai Nanxiang and Wang Nianlu.

Although Wang Nianlu is one of the four major families in the capital, the eldest daughter of the Wang family is the eldest daughter of the Wang family, she has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, and she rarely has the opportunity to go out, and she is far less familiar with the capital than Cun Derong.

Listening to Cun Derong, he counted with his fingers, "The vegetarian food of the longevity concept outside the city is very good...... Half a pond of cold smoke and half a pond of willows in the wind building to the early spring...... The violinist who lives in Ansu Lane...... "Born in the capital, Wang Nianlu, who grew up in the capital, actually showed a yearning look like Bai Nanxiang.

Even Chen Peng, who was used to messing around in the capital, opened his mouth half-open, and only interjected in the interval between Cun Derong's words.

"I've been to the places you mentioned, and they're not as interesting as you say."

Cun Derong shook a fan in the wind.

"That's when you don't know when and where to do what's fun."

"For example, in the current season, outside the city by the Lotus Lake Xianyun Villa, the new lotus has already produced young leaves, fragrant vines, peonies, chrysanthemums and moon seasons are blooming just right."

"When the weather is clear for a day, make an appointment with three or five confidants, set up a table under the newly fruited plum tree by the lake, blow the cool breeze by the lake, enjoy the blooming flowers, and come to a pot of bamboo leaves brewed in the villa, isn't it beautiful."

Bai Nanxiang listened to Cun Derong's words, imagining that such a scene was already moved by Cun Derong's words.

"It's a pity, tomorrow is the Qing Talks, and I don't think I have any leisure lately."

Chen Peng also yearned for it.

The meeting lasts for 10 days, with a daytime competition and a nighttime market, so there is really no time to participate in the whole process.

But Cuiwei Academy did not sign up for the students, and the daytime competition can be seen or not, so they are free, if they want to take a day to go to the idle cloud village to take a walk, it may not be free to do so.

However, Chen Peng and Wang Nianlu may not be willing to give up that day, these two people are very obsessed with cultivation, and they are probably unwilling to give up such an opportunity to go to the villa.

Cun Derong did not mention this stubble. Chen Peng thought of a rumor he heard when he went home last night from the events of the Qing Talks.

"In a few days it will be Zhao Guifei's birthday, and it is said that the reason why this time the Qing Tan will be advanced is that Zhao Guifei missed His Royal Highness and begged His Majesty to move the time of the Qing Tan meeting forward."

For such a reason, Bai Nanxiang didn't understand it.

Since His Royal Highness is the flesh and blood of Zhao Guifei, if you want to see each other on your birthday, you can just recall it, why bother going around in such a big circle.

Cun Derong and Wang Nianlu also seemed to know about this matter, and knew the reason, and the two of them were not surprised at all when they heard it.

Cun Derong glanced at Bai Nanxiang's expression and explained to her with a smile.

"Penglai Xiandao is thousands of miles away from the capital, if the concubine returns once on her birthday, should she also return again on the birthday of the queen mother, and when the Qing Conference comes again, His Royal Highness will not need to practice this year."

Bai Nanxiang understood after listening to Cun Derong's explanation, but she still had some doubts in her heart.

"Why did you change the time this year?"

This is not easy to explain, Cun Derong shook his fan and coughed lightly.

"The concubine Niangniang entered the palace in the year of her life, and it has been seventeen years now, Your Majesty is upright and prosperous, and the concubine has been favored again recently."

As soon as she said this, Bai Nanxiang understood that she had been favored recently, which meant that she had not been favored in previous years, no wonder she could ask for such grace this year.

Bai Nanxiang thought of the heavenly man she saw yesterday, and felt that even if she was born in a heavenly family, she might not be able to do everything well.

A few people sat by the rockery, chatted for a long time, and only at dinner time did they eat dinner and go back to the house.

The second day was the meeting.

Early in the morning, Chen Peng cleaned up and sat in the front hall, scratching his ears and cheeks, waiting for Bai Nanxiang and the others to get up.

Bai Nanxiang packed up and came to the living room, Chen Peng had already walked back and forth in the living room several times with his hands behind his back.

Cun Derong had already been shouted by Chen Peng, and was sitting on a chair in the living room, watching Chen Peng sway in front of him while drinking morning tea.

Zhao Bo and Wang Nianlu got up earlier than Cun Derong, and they were already waiting in the living room, Lin Sheng and Lin Jin had already said hello last night, and they didn't have something to do with them this morning.

Therefore, Bai Nanxiang became the last person.

Seeing her, Chen Peng immediately walked out of the courtyard with steps.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go."

Cun Derong also stood up and beckoned Bai Nanxiang together.

"Sister Bai, you are here, if you don't come again, my eyes will be turned by Senior Brother Chen."

Bai Nanxiang nodded with a smile on his face, sped up his steps and walked to Wang Nianlu's side, and followed the attendant who led the way towards the Qing Talk.

Although this meeting is held every year, it is very strict, even the son of a dignitary in Beijing like Chen Peng is not allowed to enter without an invitation.

Therefore, although Chen Peng longed for this Qing Talk Conference very much, he had never had the opportunity to participate in it at this age.

Among the four, only Zhao Bo had followed his father and advanced once in two years, but he was not interested here, and that time he watched with the prime minister for a long time, and never came back since.

Today, Zhao Bo also looked like he was lacking in interest, but he still got up early in the morning and decided to take a look.

Matsuma Shoin does not have a grand space like Mt. Rootless.

But they also have their own methods, creating a small world separated from the outside world.

The competition venue of the Symposium is in a small world.

The entrance to the small world is on the courtyard wall between the inner and outer courtyards of the college, guarded by the students of the college, and during the meeting, this door is open, and invitees can come and go at will.

Under the guidance of the subordinates, Bai Nanxiang and the others raised their feet in order and stepped into that small world.
