Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 342 Talented man and beautiful woman, meet the young master!
A place in the Qunfangyanding area.

There is a desk.

During the banquet, there were fruits, snacks and several pots of fine wine.

Six or seven people gathered here, three women and four men.

They watched the square stage of the Banquet of Flowers with laughter and conversation.

Among them was He Xiao, who had once been a student to Xie Guan.

He Xiao's face was rosy today, he had a few drinks, and he slowly put down the glass.

He was thin, had his hair tied up and wore a crown, had good-looking facial features, and was wearing a moon-white robe.

She dressed up specially today, put some powder on her face, drank some wine, and had two red spots on her face.

Especially when facing the several gentle and graceful beauties of Yuehuaxuan, his face looked even more proud.

This time he didn't have any gold or silver to attend the banquet, and it was thanks to the help of "Yaya".

He had the chance to come here.

With beauties by his side, drinking and having fun, he is truly a man of letters and elegance.

However, the Confucian scholars sitting next to the top stars of Yuehuaxuan were a bit of an eyesore.

He Xiao saw several Confucian scholars surrounding a woman dressed in gold, who was graceful and elegant.

These guys who claim to be students of Chongshan Academy, in fact, just rely on their family's wealth to enter this kind of academy because they have no chance to be admitted.

He Xiao thought to himself, what’s so great about that.

at this time!

Among them was a 20-year-old lady in white, dignified and gentle. She seemed to notice He Xiaozhi's embarrassment, so she raised her glass with a smile and said:

"Mr. He, please drink."

"Thank you Miss Yaya."

He Xiao responded politely and raised his glass to take a sip.

He knew very well that this Miss Feng Yaya was the confidante of his friend Zhang Yuanlai and also the financial sponsor of this project, so he did not dare to act presumptuously.

Zhang Yuanlai is one of his few good friends.

It is not right to cheat on a friend's wife; this is a moral obligation.

Apart from Yaya, the remaining two women, the one that particularly caught people's attention was the woman in gold clothes who was surrounded by everyone.

however!
She held her chin with one hand, a trace of boredom in her brow.

It is reported that this woman was once the top performer in Yuehuaxuan and she almost won the title of the most beautiful courtesan that year.

But now, he can only watch the new courtesans of Yuehuaxuan competing with each other for beauty in the banquet. The feeling in his heart is probably hard to describe.

He Xiao had the best impression of her, but the woman didn't want to talk to him.

In addition to Yaya and the woman in gold, there is also a woman in an open-fronted bra, half of her snow-white skin is faintly visible.

There is a charm between her eyebrows and eyes, and a black mole at the corner of her mouth adds to her charm.

The woman was chatting and laughing with the Confucian scholars, and she smiled and raised her finger from time to time. Her body swayed, and the brilliant color of her chest aroused people's imagination, making He Xiao and others "dare not look directly at her."

This girl is a dancer at Yuehuaxuan, and is particularly good at the Huxuan dance. She is also another top girl under the oiran, and her name is Zhou Yuner.

The three girls are of similar age and are as close as sisters. They gather together today to see Yaya off and attend this banquet together.

Zhou Yuner looked at Feng Yaya and jokingly asked, "Sister Yaya, why did your boyfriend never come back?"

Feng Yaya is the eldest of the three girls and she usually takes good care of the two of them.

"Could it be that he met his old lover again and found a quiet place to get passionate about it?"

Zhou Yuner's words were bold and her tone was soft and coquettish, which attracted the attention of all the men present.

Feng Yaya knew very well that this sister had a straightforward personality. Although she liked to talk, she did not mean any harm.

Seeing this, He Xiao quickly took over the conversation: "Miss Yun'er, you don't know that Brother Zhang is a decent man and a true gentleman. Among the many guests in Xie's house, he is the most honest and upright."

Zhou Yuner heard this, covered her mouth and chuckled, her beautiful eyes moved, staring straight at He Xiao, her breath was as sweet as orchid:
"Honest... Honest? I wonder if Mr. He is also so honest?"

He Xiao felt his mouth dry with thirst after being looked at by her, and he thought secretly in his heart.

Although he has been in the West Chamber for many years and can be considered a veteran in the love field, the gold and silver in his hands are shy, which has never given him the opportunity to get close to Zhou Yuner, the top girl in Yuehuaxuan.

He Xiao calmed down and said in a serious tone: "He is naturally a gentleman who abides by the way of a gentleman, does not deceive in secret, and acts uprightly and uprightly."

Zhou Yuner heard this and a smile bloomed on her face. "Honest men are good, but they don't know how to have fun."

He Xiao heard this and looked at Zhou Yuner's figure, which looked like a mountain from the front and a peak from the side. His heart skipped a beat and he looked dazed.

Seeing this, Feng Yaya shook her head slightly.

Although Yoona is still young, her outstanding figure has already attracted countless men.

Over the years, she has remained a virgin, has her own unique way of dealing with things, and is well aware of all the methods used by men.

A scholar like He Xiao must have been completely controlled by her.

This sister Yoona is very proud and she doesn't take most ordinary men seriously.

She had a belief in her heart long ago, "If there is no Phoenix Branch, the man she loves, she would rather all men in the world die."

Zhou Yuner smiled and said, "The one in your family is looking for a handsome young man."

"Don't come, you're not even half as good as Mr. He."

Feng Yaya pondered for a moment before speaking: "Zhang Lang is not a boastful person. He has mentioned this young master of the Xie family to me many times, and his words are full of admiration. He is definitely extraordinary."

"The words a few months ago, Peng Beihai, Feng Chaoyang and the endless journey with books and swords, were said by this person."

The woman in gold then slowly raised her head, as if thinking about something.

He Xiao was about to speak. His influence on Xie Guan was quite complicated, but it was undeniable that he was talented and had extraordinary bearing as a young man.

This time!

A slightly sarcastic voice sounded.

"Young Master Xie!"

"Could it be that Xie's bastard is not well-received in the Xie family? It is said that he has not yet begun to learn, let alone become a scholar, he does not even have the status of a student."

Feng Yaya looked in the direction of the voice and saw a scholar in white standing next to the woman in gold at the banquet with a sneer on his face.

"I have a good friend who teaches at the Xie Mansion School. This Xie Guan couldn't even enter the school and was forced to study at the Li Family. Among them..."

The scholar in white deliberately dragged out his tone and did not finish his words, but the ridicule and presumptuous speculation in his words were obvious.

The sneer on his face became more obvious: "As the saying goes, a phoenix that has fallen to the ground is no better than a chicken. The bastard son of such a big family is not as comfortable as an ordinary family."

The Confucian scholar in white is named Jia Yu. His father is the commander of the Jinwu Guard in Bianliang, and he himself is a student of Chongshan Academy.

Chongshan Academy was famous in Bian Jing, second only to the Academy. After graduation, students could directly enter the Imperial College for further studies and then become officials in the court.

even!

The best among them also have the opportunity to meet the emperor and advise him on state affairs, and are known as "the emperor's disciples."

Seeing this, Zhou Yuner chuckled and said, "It seems that Master Jia Yu has some complaints about Master Xie Guan."

Jia Yu stood straight, with delicate features and a hint of pride in his eyes. He seemed not to care about Zhou Yuner's teasing.

Jia Yu said calmly, "I just hate those people who seek fame without any real talent or knowledge."

Zhou Yuner smiled and said, "Master Jia Yu, how did you conclude that Master Xie Guan is not worthy of his reputation and has no real talent or knowledge?"

"Master Jia, have you ever written or discussed academic matters with him?"

Zhou Yuner asked slowly:
"Or, Master Jia, have you seen Xie Guan in person and understand his true talent?"

After hearing this, Jia Yu felt short of breath for a moment, then waved his sleeves.

"Jia has never seen this person." His inner dissatisfaction with Xie Guan mainly stems from Xie Guan's identity. He is a bastard of the Xie family, but he can have such a great reputation in the West Wing.

In Jia Yu's opinion, this person had never been to college, unlike them, the scholars who had studied very hard.

Not from a decent background.

The two Confucian scholars beside Jia Yu, who were also his classmates at Chongshan Academy, saw that Jia Yu was stumped by the question and quickly agreed: "Yes, we haven't heard of this person either. He has not written any articles and he doesn't even have a teacher."

"Moreover, Xie Guan is also a member of the Caotang Poetry Society. Isn't this enough to prove that he is not worthy of being promoted? Anyone with a little knowledge would have already joined the poetry societies under the names of several princes or academies."

One of them added.

"That's right, Brother Jia is a member of the Hanmo Poetry Society."

The Hanmo Poetry Club was founded by the Second Prince, and the students in it are all people who have recently become famous. To join, one must be recommended by three members of the poetry club, must have the title of scholar, and must have written famous poems.

Whether in career or personal connections, they are all on the side of the Second Prince.

The Second Prince is one of the princes who has the greatest hope of becoming the crown prince. Joining the Hanmo Poetry Society is equivalent to being the Second Prince's retainer.

Among the three of them, only Jia Yu was lucky enough to enter.

After hearing this, Jia Yu couldn't help but straighten his chest and raise his head a little. Although his face showed humility, his eyes couldn't help but look at the woman in gold clothes who was sitting on the chaise longue, holding her chin with one hand and looking at the stage.

The woman in gold seemed not to have heard it.

He Xiao wanted to speak, but in the end he remained silent.

Feng Yaya frowned slightly, and several people seemed to dislike Xie Guan.

If it's later!

Zhang Yuanlai brought Xie Guan with him, who was being bullied by the three of them. Given Zhang Yuanlai's personality, he wanted to protect him.

I'm afraid it will cause unpleasantness.

Feng Yaya thought for a moment and said, "Although we don't know the talent of this Xie Guan, he is a rare filial son. When his mother died, he was so grief-stricken that he even cried until his eyes went blind. It took him a whole year to recover."

"The Great Qi ruled the world with Confucianism and filial piety, and this shows the character and virtue of its people."

The three of them remained silent and didn't care.

Zhou Yuner praised him, "Filial piety comes first among all virtues."

She changed the subject and mentioned something.

"It is said that Hu Yunniang and Chenxiang did not go to the banquet this afternoon to prepare for the performance, but went to..."

The golden-dressed woman's lowered eyes moved slightly.

Zhou Yuner said slowly: "These two people went to find Xie Guan, the illegitimate son of the Xie family."

"In the end, it ended in a bad mood!"

Jia Yu was a little surprised, because Chenxiang and Hu Yunniang were both among the eight courtesans of Yuehuaxuan.

Why did he go to find Xie Guan?

While everyone is thinking!
Zhang Yuanlai's laughing voice came.

"Master Guan, please come here."

Everyone looked at the path left between the seats.

Even Feng Yaya turned around, curious about the person that Zhang Lang praised so highly.

The woman in gold took her slender hand from her chin and looked sternly at the person following Zhang Yuanlai.

Jia Yu couldn't help but frown.

The area behind the Banquet Hall was just an open space with a table where several people gathered.

The cold moonlight poured down like fine gauze, coupled with the brilliant lights on the stage.

The light here is bright and clear.

Zhang Yuanlai walked in front with a happy look on his face.

A young man was walking behind him.

The young man was wearing an elegant plain robe and had a tall figure.

He walked over with Zhang Yuanlai, chatting and laughing, with a gentle smile on his face and a slight nod.

【You followed Zhang Yuan all the way. 】

[I heard Zhang Yuan tell a lot of interesting stories. The two of them met after drinking because of a male guest who had been drinking for three rounds and made advances towards Feng Yaya.]

[Zhang Yuanlai often saw this, and was probably afraid. He was used to being cautious in Bianjing, a place where the children of the rich and powerful fought against each other.]

[Zhang Yuanlai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's because I drank a few too many glasses. Alcohol makes people brave! I was so angry that I rushed forward."]

[He risked his life for the love of his beloved, and got his head broken. 】

[In the end, the male guest was also scared, so the matter was left unresolved.]

【You laughed and said: "Heroes saving beauties has been a tradition since ancient times."】

【Zhang Yuanlai only sighed: "It seems that drinking is not a bad thing, otherwise there would be no fate between me and Yaya."】

[Zhang Yuanlai also briefly introduced the people who came today. The other two women were the top girls in Yuehuaxuan. One of them almost became the oiran last year, but was defeated by Hu Yunniang as a dark horse.]

[You nodded slowly. The competition for the top flower is common among the women in the brothel.]

[Before I knew it, we were already at the table! ]

【Zhang Yuanlai enthusiastically guided: "Master Guan, please come this way."】

[You two walk into the table, and in front of you are Feng Yaya and the others.]

【Zhang Yuanlai hurriedly introduced: "This is Xie Guan, Master Guan."】

[You greeted with a smile: "Xie Guan, nice to meet you all."]

【They suddenly came to their senses.】

[Zhou Yuner's eyes suddenly lit up, "Mr. Zhang, what you said is indeed true."]

[“Look at the young master, he is indeed very charming.”]

[His eyes flickered, "My name is Zhou Yun'er. If you don't mind, you can just call me Yun'er."]

【You just smiled and nodded. 】

[Feng Yaya's eyes fell on Xie Guan, and she couldn't help but be slightly startled. This Xie Guan, judging from his temperament and appearance, was definitely outstanding and the best choice among the many male guests in Yuehuaxuan.]

[He has neither the humble air of the Xie family's bastard, nor the rich and vulgar air of the young masters of the nine major families. Instead, his temperament is as gentle as jade, which makes people feel good about him.]

【Zhang Yuanlai spoke highly of him, "Xie Guan is a mature young man with mountains and rivers in his mind. He is definitely not someone who will stay in the secular world for long." Women all value appearance, at least Feng Yaya already believed it to be about 60%.】

[He Xiao also greeted him, his expression was rather unnatural. The friendship he had with his classmates in the courtyard was long gone, and now that they were meeting again, it was rather awkward to be in a cold relationship.]

[Several Confucian scholars at the banquet were silent and looked unhappy, as if they were not welcoming Xie Guan's arrival. Zhang Yuanlai introduced them one by one, and Xie Guan also responded with courtesy, behaving properly and politely.]

[Until the last person, only the woman in gold sitting on the chaise longue was left.]

[Zhang Yuanlai was a little timid towards this woman. At least she had never given him a good look, and he was used to it.]

[The woman only spoke a few words to Feng Yaya and Zhou Yuner today, and was cold to others.]

【Strange thing is! 】

[The woman in gold clothes slowly stood up, bowed gracefully, and took the initiative to say: "Li Xiangjun, meet you, sir."]

[Everyone was surprised.]
