Kaolin Flower Raiders Guide

Chang'an Street in Chang'an City leads directly to the imperial city.

Autumn is deep and the dew is heavy, the sky is full of moonlight, and the young man in a crimson brocade robe is walking slowly on the road.

It wasn't until standing in the magnificent hall that Lu Xiao came back to his senses.Emperor Yunkang was nearly half a hundred years old, and he still demanded himself with the daily life and rest of his youth, and he had to go to court every day before dawn.Older officials complained a lot at home, but outside they still acted like they were old and determined.Lu Xiao was lethargic, and no one at home asked him to settle down in the morning and dusk, and he would always fall asleep until the sun rose.At this moment, with his head slightly lowered, and a cloud of brocade brocade boots beside him, he took trivial matters to the court to express his views.

Lu Xiao barely straightened her back, feeling sleepy and helpless, until the people on top were as bored as him, closed the curtain on the stage, and went back home.

There was a neat row of guards standing in front of the hall, Lu Xiao looked up at the sky, and at some point, the bright sun shattered the dark blue night sky, and the clouds were piled up, and it was about ten o'clock.He walked quickly towards Fengtianmen, his crimson robes fluttering, completely ignoring all his colleagues who were also pretending to be false.Lu Xiao was thinking about something, so she didn't notice the person quietly following behind her.

"A Xiao, why are you walking so fast, I can hardly catch up with you!"

The visitor's complexion was reddish, he gasped before he finished speaking, and almost got the three big characters "wait for me" engraved on his forehead.With a round face and round eyes, black hair hanging down his shoulders like a crow's feathers, the young man can see everything at a glance.Lu Xiao stopped and said with a smile: "Ning Huai, why did you leave the palace at this hour today?"

The young man called Ning Huai rolled his eyes and said, "The second prince will be crowned in half a year, and he is very busy now."

Lu Xiao made up her mind and didn't want to talk to him.So he slowed down and followed Ning Huai's footsteps to chat with him all the way.

"Ah Xiao, you are about to be crowned as well." Ning Huai blinked, seemingly annoyed, "Why didn't my parents give birth to me a few years earlier so that you could call me brother too."

Lu Xiao raised her hand, pinched Ning Huai's cheek with thin knuckles, and said with a smile, "Yes, brother Xiao Huai." With obsession, he stretched out his fleshy palm to Lu Xiao's face.Lu Xiao is only nineteen this year, the same age as the second prince.Two half-year-old teenagers laughed wantonly on the streets of Chang'an. Passers-by only said that the two brothers had a good relationship.

"Stop making troubles, stop making troubles!" Ning Huai took the lead in quieting down the drums and bowing down to him.Lu Xiao's slightly cool hand flicked his forehead lightly, then hooked his fingers towards Ning Huai, and whispered, "It seems that there is another old volume of Mr. Wen Yu's work on the market, do you want to read it?"

Mr. Wen Yu, a poet of unknown age, loves to write strange stories about the market.A street literati who doesn't even know his real name, but he can't stand Ning Huai and loves to read the scattered stories written by him.

Without saying a word, Ning Huai obediently pulled up Lu Xiao's sleeve: "Ah Xiao, let's go, maybe Big Brother Lu is waiting for you at home."

A mocking sound suddenly sounded from behind.There was a lot of noise, Lu Xiao had excellent hearing, and looked towards the source of the sound without changing his expression.

The man was dressed in a black robe and official boots of brocade brocade, and his black hair was tied neatly behind his head.The exposed half of the face is well-defined, with a high bridge of nose.The man turned his face around, raised his phoenix eyes, and the red mole in front of his eyes was looking forward, and there was a little disdain on his cold face, and he swept towards Lu Xiao's waist.

Lu Xiao herself loves bright colors very much, and sometimes she still thinks that the person in front of her should be wearing the red dress.He lowered his eyelashes following the gaze of the person in front of him, Ning Huai's fleshy palm was still pulling on his sleeve.

In the previous dynasty, an idle prince didn't love women and men, and had been entangled with people from all corners of the country for many years, and even thought of getting married.The government and the public went from being shocked at the beginning to not being surprised, but they subtly made the latecomers acquiesce in the existence of male wives. There are also rich and powerful families who have raised one or two pets, but when they are old, they still want to marry wives and have children. .

Lu Xiao was not annoyed either, there were not a few people who misunderstood his relationship with Ning Huai, and he knew that most of the people in front of him were the same.Wanting to explain, but thinking that this person has always treated him like this, Lu Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth, turned Ning Huai's head to look around, and said casually, Xiao Huai, let's go.

Qi Jiansi saw it, and thought it was Lu Xiao who was so presumptuous that he turned a blind eye to other people's eyes, so he sneered and walked away.

Young Master Ning asked weakly: "Ah Xiao, what's wrong with Lord Qi?"

"Don't pay attention to him." Lu Xiao spat in her heart, what kind of temper, blinded that beautiful face like peaches and plums for nothing.

At the end of Chang'an Lane, Lu Xiao pushed open the courtyard door, and the fragrance of grass and trees among the forest leaves lingered around him.

He has read books in a daze for several years, and his views on the family, the country and the world and the way of being a person are all derived from one person's precepts and deeds. When he was 17 years old, he followed Li Shusheng next door to join in the fun to participate in Chunwei.Lu Xiao felt that she was just embedding that man's teachings into the article, not wanting to win Emperor Yunkang's favor, so Yubi Zhu Pian hand-picked a champion.

When he saw Lu Xiao in front of the hall, who was dressed plainly but did not hide his face, Emperor Yunkang abruptly changed his mind.The No. [-] Scholar is a title, and a romantic title like Tan Hua Lang is worthy of the handsome young man who has just turned seventeen in front of the hall.

The pie that fell from the sky fell on Lu Xiao's head impartially. He didn't care whether it was the number one scholar or the third scholar, he was going to be an official in the court after all.

The Tai Tu who stood aside was not happy, that Cui Tai Tu was the elder of the two dynasties, and had also taught Emperor Yunkang during the prince's time.Taifu Cui opened his mouth, and Emperor Yunkang still wanted to give him three points.As for Lu Xiao becoming a closed disciple under Cui Taifu's sect, that's all for later.So Lu Xiao's title of No. [-] scholar was muddled again.

Non-jinshi are not allowed to enter the Imperial Academy, and the number one scholar in the dynasty has no interest in this Imperial Academy.Taifu Cui beat him many times, but in the end, although he only got a job from the seventh rank, he fell in the household department with the most twists and turns.

I don't know whether to say that Lu Xiao's luck is too good or something. The Hubu Shangshu, who is deeply rooted in the court, begged for his bones and returned to his hometown the year he took office. The profit fell on an official with a mediocre background.In the two years when the various forces fought against each other, Lu Xiao, who had no background, picked up the leak. The speed of promotion was beyond the speed of others. In the bag.

There is a full five-level difference between the seventh rank and the fifth rank. From Lu Xiao's point of view, the biggest advantage is that he can finally change from the blue official uniform to his favorite red.

The person whose back is facing is trimming the excess branches and leaves, and the straight back under the plain white robe is like tough bamboo, and it is a little more handsome than bamboo.This person always looks like he is not surprised, he taught him like a brother like a father, always maintain himself, don't be foolish and loyal, and don't be influenced by others.He never talked about making Lu Xiao a good official, he only asked Lu Xiao to think twice before making any decisions, so as not to leave regrets in vain.Lu Xiao couldn't see through him, and didn't want to see through him.

Lu Xuehen didn't seem to realize that someone had entered the yard, until Ning Huai's voice sounded: "Brother Lu, I'm here to play with Ah Xiao."

He put down the trembling branches and leaves in his hands, and said: "Master Ning is visiting, Xiao'er, come here."

Ning Huai is the second son of Duke Ning's mansion, and he has become friends with Lu Xiao. Everyone knows that Lu Xiao has joined Ning Guogong's family, but they don't know that Lu Xiao has visited Ning's mansion very few times. The meeting is only in the court.Ning Huai often went to Lu Xiao's house, Lu Xuehen treated him like a junior, but he was always called Young Master Ning.

When Lu Xiao met Lu Xuehen, she had to be obedient.He walked quickly to Lu Xuehen's side, and heard his cold voice say: "Go inside, there are things you like, go in and talk with Young Master Ning."

Lu Xiao nodded, and Ning Huai followed him into the room.There was a gold-painted food box on the table. Lu Xiao's eyes lit up, and she lowered her eyebrows to uncover the food box, which was divided into three layers.

The top one is candied crabapple, the juice is clear and the skin is golden yellow; the inner layer is two-color water chestnut cake, which is soft and small; the bottom is a bowl of sugar-steamed crispy cheese.Lu Xiao didn't like to eat when he was a child, and he had a serious illness. Lu Xuehen often coaxed him with these little things, and Lu Xiao's sweetness took root from here.

Holding the thread-bound notebook, Ning Huai almost buried his head in it.Lu Xiao picked up a candied crabapple, the soft crabapple wrapped in icing sugar, sour and sweet, and stuffed another one into Ning Huai's mouth casually, receiving the other party's spared no effort in admiration and emotion.

Later, Ning Huai entrusted the servant to deliver the letter, and stayed in the small courtyard of the Lu family at night. The sleepiness of the 17-year-old boy came at the moment, Ning Huai rubbed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

As the night fell like water, Lu Xiao lightly closed the wooden door, brushed off a section of crimson clothes, and using three parts of her feet, she leaped over the tiled roof.The blue tiles were hard, and Lu Xiao slowly pressed her head on the pale and thin palms with her palms turned inward.With the other hand, the palm turned inward and rubbed the longevity lock hidden on the chest.

Looking at the dark night with his dark eyes, Ning Huai's careless words during the day surfaced in due course.

"Ah Xiao, Big Brother Lu is really kind to you. If only my brother was as attentive as Big Brother Lu."

...How did Ning Huai know that he was the son of Ning Guogong's direct relative, and the younger brother of the first son Ningdu's mother and compatriots.And he, Lu Xiao, has nothing to do with Lu Xuehen.

When she was younger, Lu Xiao called Big Brother Lu, and picked off the character Lu while shouting. When she was older, she would only call Brother Lu.After getting to know Ning Huai, Ning Huai picked up the title of Big Brother Lu for him.Lu Xiao had some indescribable subtle feelings hidden in her heart, and in the past two years, even she didn't even want to call her brother.Occasionally, he would call Lu Xuehen's name directly with his nose on his face, but Lu Xuehen didn't bother with him, and called him Xiao'er as always.

Lu Xiao took out the remaining two-color horseshoe cake from her sleeve. The delicate and small cake was hardened, but when she swallowed it, the core was still soft.

It's not completely unrelated, at least the word Lu Xiao is the name Lu Xuehen gave him.
