If Yun Zhong is living in fire and water, then Tang Bufeng is living like a god.
After waking up from the hangover, several maids came not long after and brought some exquisite snacks and jade basins full of water. Then they were about to bow and leave, but they were stopped by Tang Bufeng who didn't know why. He said in confusion, "Girls, may I ask where this is?"
One of the maids with a cinnabar mole on her forehead laughed when she heard this and said: "Young Master is not from Mocheng, so naturally he doesn't know where this place is. In this city, there is only one family other than the city lord who can serve as a maid. Bai Qiu of the Ruan family. As for why the young master is here, I can’t say much. I just need to wash up and have some snacks. When the time comes, the young master will naturally know the secret."
The maids didn't stay too long. After they finished speaking, they bowed and left, leaving Tang Bufeng alone in the large room.
"This is a big deal." He had no choice but to go back to sleep and wake up.
Anyway, it had only been two days since they arrived in the city, and they had not caused any trouble, and there were no enemies in the desert city. Even if the city was a bit weird, in Tang Bufeng's opinion, it was not really a dangerous situation.
How could he drown in this place after crossing big rivers?
What's more, the purple-sheathed long sword was still lying beside the pillow.
"Master, this person is so casual. He fell asleep again after just two bites of snacks. If he really entered the Ruan family, why should he treat the family rules as nothing?" The maid with the cinnabar mole on her forehead complained quite a bit. His lips were pursed, feeling vaguely impatient, but he still rolled up the bead curtain and stepped into the main hall.
This house is extremely spacious, with five entrances and five exits, and is divided into three floors. It is full of grandeur. The pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard are scattered at different heights, and the flowers, plants, fish and insects are gradually charming, and they are all included in the house.
Among them, the main hall is the most charming, with bead curtains, gum damask and furnishings, and dotted emerald screens and jade bells embellishing it. Although the object alone looks a bit extravagant, the fine pen and ink on the desk and the beautiful handwriting on the top of the paper give off a lot of writing and ink atmosphere, which makes the smell of powder much lighter.
A compromise between the two creates some nobility that complements each other.
"Zhu Ling, don't talk nonsense. I never told him to join the Ruan family. It's a good thing for you. Before you even polished off the ink, you've already started thinking about how to frame the calligraphy and painting. It's time to do it." In the main hall, a young woman stood up and quickly Walk to Zhu Ling's back and prepare to fight.
The woman was born with a pair of phoenix eyes, a nose like a hanging gallbladder, and a very beautiful face. She should have a bright and cheerful temperament, but for some reason, there is a trace of bright and heroic spirit in the subtleties.
"Master, please spare my life. This slave has no intention of speaking. I have offended someone close to my heart. I really deserve death. I hope that the master will spare my life. For the sake of taking care of my children in the future, I will spare my life." Zhu Lingzui He kept begging for mercy, but his smiling face was still bright, and there was no hint of begging for mercy. The beautiful woman rushed forward and slapped her forehead with a light palm. She couldn't help but cry out in pain.
It was obvious that although the two people in front of them were master and servant, there were no clear rules between master and slave.
"But having said that, Patriarch, do you really want to recruit that person into the house? If this is really the case, then wouldn't it mean that the Ruan family's great fortune will be given away to others? Ling'er thinks that this person's temperament and absurd temperament , I’m afraid there’s no chance of getting married.” After the two of them had fun, the woman and Zhu Ling sat down one after another, and the latter frowned. The head of my family is good at everything, but he is too stubborn. Perhaps because he has been fond of practicing martial arts since he was a child, he also has a very straightforward temperament.
"But it's boring to be bored in the city all day long. Besides, I am the head of the Ruan family. The city lord will definitely not allow me to leave the city, let alone go outside to see the magnificent scenery of the world. I have to make this decision." The woman's pink lips slightly curled up. , seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the old city lord.
There was no way, no one else in the city wanted to go to the outside world. Only the head of the Ruan family, who had just taken over the post, was special. He wanted to see the scenery outside since he was a child. Everyone of her age likes the female singer Qin Se, but this woman only loves practicing martial arts.
The head of the old family had no children and only had this daughter whom he loved so much. He couldn't resist it, so he had to find a few people in the city who knew a little about martial arts and teach him. To be able to barely rest for a few days, in the eyes of the old family master, he was already blessed by the gods, and he was very happy. He could also take advantage of the fact that his daughter had no time to pay attention to him, secretly took out a jar of sake from the cellar, and drank a cup of it.
The mistress of the Ruan family had always been weak and had passed away when she gave birth to a daughter. Therefore, the head of the family, Ruan Ding, often drank to drown his sorrows. Until he raised his daughter to the age of his elders, he never had any intention of renewing his relationship.
Ruan Ding's daughter has a sharp ear and eyesight, which is known to everyone in Mocheng. The Ruan family is the leading family in the city, and there are often visitors here on weekdays, which is understandable. Since there are guests here, if they have a good conversation, come and go, talk from early in the morning until noon, the host must be polite and always keep someone. Let’s talk after lunch.
There are many guests and friends, and chatting around can also relieve Ruan Ding's depression, so there are often banquets in Ruan Mansion, and there are many people coming and going.
However, the little girl was not happy.
Across the courtyard two or three steps away, the little girl could always smell the smell of alcohol, which made her very angry. So one time, he followed the smell of alcohol and, in front of all the guests and friends, listed twenty-four bad things about drinking. The words were all elegant, but they were extremely offensive, and they reduced the scholars and their fathers present to nothing. .
The surroundings were silent, but Ruan Ding, who was sitting in the middle, was holding his hands and laughing.
There is a daughter in the Ruan family who is talented in both civil and military affairs.
The head of the family that Zhu Ling was talking about was the current head of the Ruan family. She was also the little girl who was sixty-seven years old but scolded all the guests, Ruan Qiubai.
"Ever since my father passed away, I don't want to stay in this city for even a day. My father's knowledge is well-known throughout the city, but it's a pity that he only wants to live in a corner." Ruan Qiubai folded her black hair and was lost in thought for a moment, "Maybe It is a time of war and chaos outside, and it is far from the peace and tranquility of Mocheng now, but I always want to go to Mocheng and have a look at the outside world. After living in one place for twenty years, even though Mocheng is extremely spacious , If you walk with your eyes closed, it’s hard to go wrong.”
"As long as he can look after the Ruan family for me and not do anything disgraceful, it doesn't matter if he gets half of the family fortune. After all the money is gone, he can always get it back." Ruan Qiubai smiled. The graceful posture almost stunned Zhu Ling beside him.
Zhu Ling held Ruan Qiubai's arm in her arms and said with a lonely look, "It's a pity that my young lady has such a beautiful appearance, but she has to take advantage of a tough warrior from a foreign country. Those handsome young men in the city would like to chop him into pieces to relieve their hatred." .”
