Fengluo Pingyang

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the season has officially entered midsummer.

This day is Mr. Fu's birthday, Ling Ji and Lord Fang Hou passed a letter and agreed that he would pick up Fang Yuesheng and go to Mr. Fu's house together.

This was the first meeting after a month, and Fang Yuesheng was sitting in his study waiting for him.

Fang Yuesheng was wearing a silver-gray summer shirt, and the servant was fanning the wind beside him, but he was still too hot to fidget, his fine white skin was soaked with sweat, and a few strands of hair were wet and stuck to his cheeks side.

Ling Ji walked in quickly, took the fan from the boy's hand, and fanned him personally.

"You're here, let's set off quickly. Why is it so hot in this damn weather?" Fang Yuesheng held his skirt and fanned it in with his hands.

The delicate collarbone and a large piece of skin were exposed at the hem of the clothes pulled up by him. Ling Ji lowered his eyelashes, pulled his hand down calmly, and straightened his clothes for him.

"I know that the young master is always afraid of heat, I have prepared crushed ice in the carriage, and it will be cool later." He said, leading Fang Yuesheng to walk outside.

The birthday gifts prepared by Lord Fang Hou have been properly packed and loaded into the carriage, Ling Ji only needs to settle Fang Yuesheng.

As soon as Fang Yuesheng got into the carriage, he cooled down immediately. He couldn't help but let out a comfortable breath, pressed his face against the cool wall of the carriage, and waved his hands lazily: "Let's go. I'll take a break, and call me when I get there." .”

Ling Ji took out a clean silk handkerchief, and went to Fang Yuesheng to wipe off the thin sweat on his forehead and neck.He took out another piece and put it on the glass bottle filled with ice cubes to freeze for a while, then supported Fang Yuesheng by the shoulder and let him fall on his lap.

"There are a lot of people going to Fu's mansion to celebrate his birthday today, and the road is congested, so I'm afraid there will be some delay. Young master, lie down and rest for a while." Ling Ji advised softly.

A cold silk handkerchief was placed on his forehead, and Fang Yuesheng felt very comfortable, so Lingji waited for him to lie down, and closed his eyes to rest.

He has really worked hard this month, he didn't go out to fool around, and he sat in the study for a long time.It's just that only he knows how much time is spent reading and how much time is spent sleeping.But no matter what, he was still very tired mentally, after all Fang Shizi had never been so serious since he was born.

He was half asleep and half awake in a daze, and after an unknown amount of time, a gentle shaking woke him up.

"Master, we are here, wake up and wake up."

Ling Ji handed him a wet handkerchief and asked him to wipe his face.

Ling Ji waited on Fang Yuesheng to tidy up, then opened the curtain of the car, jumped down first, and reached out to help him.

Fang Yuesheng stretched out his hand as a matter of course, and let Lingji help him out of the carriage.As soon as he landed, he saw three strange young men standing in front of him, looking at the two of them strangely.

This is at the main entrance of Fu's mansion. These three young men obviously came out to welcome guests, presumably they are the children of Fu's family.It was reasonable that he didn't know each other, but Fang Yuesheng was a little displeased by the way they looked at him.

The one who looked bigger among the three said: "Ling Ji, who is this?"

"Let me introduce you." Ling Ji smiled, "This is Fang Yuesheng, the eldest son of the Fang Mansion of the Duke of Pingguo. My son, these three are the young master of the Fu family, Fu Jinyu the eldest master Fu, Fu Jinwen the second master Fu, and Fu Jinqing Fu Third Master."

These three people are close ministers of the emperor, and their official positions are not big, but they are all the emperor's confidantes.It's just that Lingji didn't say anything, I'm afraid Fang Yuesheng wouldn't like to hear it either.

"It turns out that this is Fang Shizi. It is better to meet him than to be famous. Fang Shizi is really a real person, and he has admired him for a long time." Fu Jinyu bowed his hands politely.

Although Fang Yuesheng knew that he was speaking politely, he was very happy.Although he was never ashamed of his dandyish habits, he still shy away from the scholarly family.It's also because Fang Houye pushed him too hard since he was a child, and Lingji's friends belittled him openly and secretly. Fang Yuesheng has a delicate mind, so how could he not be affected.

Now that the eldest young master of a well-known and noble family in the capital pays him such a compliment, it is still comfortable for his ears to hear.

It's just that Fu Jinwen and Fu Jinqing didn't speak, they glanced at each other, and then both looked at Ling Ji with a clear look.

Ling Ji pretended not to notice the gazes of the two of them, and took Fang Yuesheng and Fu Jinyu to exchange greetings, then walked inside under the leadership of the guide boy arranged by the Fu family.

The Fu family set aside an open space in their garden to receive distinguished guests.There are lakes on both sides here, shaded by green trees everywhere, and the breeze blows gently, blowing away the scorching heat, making people feel cool and pleasant.

Another stage was set up on the lake, and some people were juggling and having fun on it at this time, which was not noisy, but also more lively.Before all the guests were seated, they greeted each other and greeted each other politely.

Fang Yuesheng looked around, but he didn't have any acquaintances. Occasionally, there were a few familiar people, but they had conflicts with him, Xu Ruxin and others.Although he knew that the person Mr. Fu invited would not be the same as him, at this moment he was alone among these strangers, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Ling Ji has been following him step by step, seeing his slightly uncomfortable expression after glancing around, he bent down and said: "Master, don't be nervous, I'm here for everything."

"Who's nervous. It's just a group of sour scholars. I'm afraid they won't succeed." Fang Yuesheng glared at him and said bravely, but deliberately lowered his voice, as if afraid that the people next to him would hear it.

Ling Ji smiled, and said in a low voice: "Of course I know that the young master is not afraid, it's just that sour scholars sometimes prefer to make things difficult, and the young master doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as them. There are a few good young people, and I will recommend them to the young master. of."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people next to him happily linked poems to match, and immediately became lyrical.Fang Yuesheng walked to the side in disgust. He hated these literary scholars who pretended to be romantic.

Ling Ji led him to a secluded corner, and stood with him outside the crowd, looking at the guests who were still rushing over.

Fang Yuesheng saw that he agreed with him just now, so he gave Ling Ji a lot of face, and said along with his words: "Since you think it's good, I think those people have some advantages. I can also meet them."

Ling Ji smiled lowly and said: "Young master is right, if someone is not good, I wouldn't bring them here to stain the young master's eyes."

The two of them were whispering here, Ling Ji was still searching for the few people he was looking for with his eyes.

Two people came from the other side, greeted the surrounding guests one by one along the way, but walked straight towards Lingji.

"Lingji, why are you hiding here and not going out to say hello to everyone?" Fu Jinwen and Fu Jinqing came along, and Fu Jinqing held Lingji's hand and said, "I asked you to go over the house last time, and you still pushed me?" Said that there is no time, the old man had to save face to invite you here. Come on, I have a few friends to introduce you to, and you were the only one that was missing when we got together last time. "

Ling Ji pressed his hand, looked back at Fang Yuesheng, wondering: "Master Fu, I'm really sorry, I can't leave now."

Fu Jinwen looked at Fang Yuesheng, smiled and said, "I've heard about Fang Shizi's name a long time ago, and seeing him today is really extraordinary. I know you are worried that Fang Shizi will be inconvenient here alone, so don't worry, I will take care of Fang Shizi for you for a while, and I will never let you Fang Shizi was wronged. You missed the appointment last time, but this time you didn't meet everyone when everyone arrived, you are too shameless."

Fu Jinwen spoke to Ling Ji, but he looked at Fang Yuesheng with a smile on his eyes.Hearing what he said, Fang Yuesheng seemed to be dragging Lingji down, so he felt a little displeased, and said to Lingji: "You don't need to serve here, if you have something to do, just do your own thing."

"Young master is new here, how can I let young master here alone." Ling Ji did not listen to his words and left, Fu Jinqing was a little unhappy, but Fang Yuesheng was relieved.

He is out of place with everyone else here, if Ling Ji is not by his side, he would still feel a little uncomfortable.Fang Yuesheng felt a little regretful. If he had known that he had cheated Master Fang by pretending to be ill, it would have been better than running over to attend the banquet.

"Lingji, you are too mean." Fu Jinqing said with displeasure, "Let's not talk about how many times you pushed back my invitation, even if Fang Shizi is left here, what else can happen to him? Are you Do you look down on my Fu family?"

What he said was a bit harsh, Ling Ji knew that because Fu Jinqing was the youngest of the Fu family brothers, he was a little willful because of being spoiled, so it would be a bad end for him to be stubborn this time.

Fu Jinwen was also beating and drumming. When several people were in a stalemate, another person came over.

"Ling Ji, Jin Qing, what are you doing?"

The person who came was Lin Xuanying who just arrived.Ling Ji was so entangled by Fu Jinqing that this young master Fu had a tough temper. Ling Ji had rejected his invitation before, but he knew that today would be a bad day to offend him. Seeing Lin Xuanying arrived, he felt like seeing a savior.

Not to mention that Lin Xuanying is a prudent person, he also knows what happened between him and Fang Yuesheng, Ling Ji is relieved to ask him to take care of Fang Yuesheng for a while.

He said to Lin Xuanying: "Brother Xuanying, I have something to do with Mr. Fu and I will leave for a while. You can take care of Mr. Fang for me. Mr. Fu is the master, and there are many guests to entertain. I dare not trouble Mr. Fu. "He felt that Fu Jinwen and Fu Jinqing didn't seem very friendly to Fang Yuesheng, so he was naturally worried about letting them be alone with Fang Yuesheng.

He brought Fang Yuesheng here to meet beneficial people for him, not to make him feel wronged.

Lin Xuanying frowned.He was thrown such a heavy burden when he first arrived, and Ling Ji entrusted all his treasures to him. Such trust really put him under some pressure.

Fang Yuesheng was watching coldly from the sidelines as the two brothers of the Fu family and Ling Ji were in a stalemate.Ling Ji had never let go of his mouth, but now he changed his mind when he said he would change his mind, and he was going to leave like this? !Fang Yuesheng frowned and looked at him, feeling very unhappy.
