Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 393

393 The two brothers are both good-looking (1)

“Is fuxiang your lover in the Academy?” Zhong Li asked.

“How did you know?” Xu Qi ‘an asked in surprise.

Zhong Li nodded, lowered her head slightly, and walked slowly, ” if they weren’t close, why would they ask me to see a doctor? ” And you’re a person with great luck, you won’t be like those men who are the subject of a courtesan’s skirt.”

Fifth Senior Sister, you still have the potential to be a detective ... hmm, ” Xu Qi ‘an replied. Fu Xiang is my confidante. I was talented when I was young and had a photographic memory. I was born to study.

“However, second uncle had planned my life long ago, causing Da Feng to lose a great master in poetry ... That year, I was 14 years old. I brought my cousin to attend a cultural meeting organized by the Imperial College’s scholars. That day, it was raining and snowing ... It’s a gathering for Academic Exchange. Some girls from the Imperial Academy will be invited to play music to liven things up, and Fu Xiang is one of them.

“I amazed the world at the cultural gathering, and everyone praised me for my good poems. Fu Xiang also had deep feelings for me at that cultural gathering. From then on, we often wrote to each other, and a platonic love began. Platonic relationships are about spiritual love, and definitely not about physical relationships ...”

“Why are you telling me all this?” Zhong Li interrupted him.

“Promise me, don’t tell Caiwei.”

“Oh.”

Zhong Li turned her head and looked at him for a moment, then she retracted her gaze and continued to walk forward. As she approached the small pavilion in yingmei, she said, “”I know the aura observation technique.”

“.........”

Xu Qi ‘an heard the sound of brass music before he reached the yingmei Pavilion.

Eh, yingmei Pavilion is having a tea gathering so early today? He brought Zhong Li to the entrance of the courtyard and saw that the two black doors were closed, and the sound of drums could be heard from inside.

Bang Bang Bang ... Xu Qi ‘an knocked on the door.

“Yingmei Pavilion has been reserved.” The voice of a green-robed servant came from inside the door.

“It’s me,” he said. Xu Qi ‘an said.

The courtyard door opened and the green-robed servant boy’s face was filled with joy as he repeatedly said,”Young master Xu, you’re finally here. An extraordinary guest has come to the Academy tonight and is in the room.”

Xu Qi ‘an frowned. an extraordinary guest? ”

From Xu Qi ‘an’s point of view, only those above rank three were considered impressive. However, an official of this identity and position would basically not come to the Imperial Academy.

The court officials had their own style.

“Yes, as soon as he came to the Academy Square, he went straight to the yingmei Pavilion, saying that he wanted to see our wife’s zither skills. Our wife originally didn’t intend to accompany him to drink, so she politely refused.” The green-robed manservant laughed and pretended to be mysterious, ”

“What do you think?”

Xu Qi ‘an glared at him, and he answered honestly, “”Mother personally came out and talked to Fu Xiang behind closed doors for a long time. I don’t know what she said, but it actually made wifey helplessly accept it and unwillingly come out to present the song.

“The most inconceivable thing is that twelve of the courtesans from the Academy’s workshop came uninvited.”

Xu Qi ‘an was taken aback. He thought to himself, ” even that old man, chief advisor Wang, doesn’t have this kind of treatment.

Of course, old Wang was old and probably did not have the mood and energy to seek pleasure in the Imperial Academy.

“Sure, I didn’t think that there would be such a person in the capital. No, the Imperial Academy must be a place where I stand out. I have to go and meet this guy.”

At the thought of this, Xu Qi ‘an nodded without changing his expression.”Take me to him.”

..........

At this moment, in the main hall where the guests were drinking, Fu Xiang was sitting in the middle of the hall, playing the zither with her head lowered. She was gentle, beautiful, and full of life.

When she played the zither, she had a special temperament, not like a courtesan of the Academy, but like a young lady of a noble family.

The customers sat in a row at their tables. Other than the green-robed man with a strand of white hair on his forehead, the other guests were accompanied by a courtesan.

After the song ended, Fu Xiang stood up and saluted, “”I’m embarrassed.”

“Lady Fu Xiang is too modest. In this capital’s education workshop, there is almost no one who can compete with you in zither skills.” A man with a goatee and casual clothes laughed.

“Quickly take a seat, our great swordsman Chu is waiting.” Another man with a big belly chimed in.

The customers present started to make a fuss.

There were even people who directly said the word dead and teased, “”Ever since that poem about the plum blossoms, Lady Fu Xiang no longer accompanied you to drink, but since brother Chu has returned, there’s another matter. Lady Fu Xiang, don’t let brother Chu wait too long.”

Fu Xiang’s eyes glistened as she swept her gaze over the guests. The identities of these people were not simple. They were either officials with real power in the six ministries, officials of the Hanlin Academy, imperial censors of the Imperial Censorate, or other noble families.

As for the man in the green robe, his status was even more extraordinary. He was the top scholar in the 27th year of yuan jing and the number one swordsman in the capital.

He not only satisfied the passion of the girls in the Imperial Academy, but also their fantasy of being a Jianghu swordsman. Thus, when the news of his arrival at the Academy Square spread, twelve courtesans came uninvited and took the initiative to drink with him.

“Masters, please forgive me. This little girl is not feeling well, so it is not suitable for her to drink wine today.” Fu Xiang smiled reservedly and turned to an empty table.

The officials furrowed their brows in displeasure.

Although Fu Xiang’s reputation had spread far and wide, and was no longer limited to the capital’s education workshop, she was too arrogant. He only asked her to accompany him to drink, and did not want to do anything to her.

On the contrary, the green-robed swordsman laughed in a carefree manner and did not take it to heart.

The guests present were all Jinshi who had been born in the 27th year of yuan jing’s reign and had a very good relationship with him. This time, they had come to the Imperial Academy to drink, firstly to reminisce about the past, and secondly to meet Fu Xiang, the famous courtesan.
