People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

A gust of cold wind passed by, creaking the windows and blowing away some of Xu Xilu's alcoholism.He looked at the empty wine glass, then at the gentle and jade-like man in front of him, as if waking up from a dream, only then did he realize that he had accidentally said something secret that shouldn't be said after drinking.He is not unsuspecting, but the moonlight and the people who accompany him are so beautiful tonight, and he drank so much wine, it is inevitable that he will be impulsive and self-willed.

Xu Xilu didn't expect that not only did he fail to get to the bottom of this Mr. Lu, but he was drawn in by him, and he couldn't take back what he had said. Since the two met by chance, they talked casually, Lu Xiangrong wouldn't care if he thought about it.

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Xu's younger sister, and who was the victim?"

Lu Xiangrong continued the topic just now, but Xu Xilu smiled and said: "Then Mr. Lu, can you guess who I am?"

Xu Xilu turned the topic abruptly, but his tone was very natural. Lu Xiangrong followed the trend and said, "In my opinion, Mr. Xu must be a fox demon?"

Xu Xilu was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Why is it a fox demon?"

Lu Xiangrong looked at him with twinkling eyes, "It is rumored that the fox demon is beautiful and graceful, and can seduce people's hearts—isn't Mr. Xu like this?"

Xu Xilu smiled heartily: "Since I am a fox demon, will Lord Jiang Shen accept me?"

Lu Xiangrong bent his lips and smiled, "That depends on whether the fox is obedient or not."

Lu Xiangrong looks like a gentleman like jade, with an elegant demeanor, talking with him makes people feel like a spring breeze, and he also admires Xu Xilu quite a lot.Xu Xilu resisted not to continue drinking, maintaining the last trace of sobriety.The two chatted very happily, until there were only a few painting boats left on the Xunjiang River, and Xu Xilu got up to say goodbye.

Lu Xiangrong didn't leave him behind, and personally sent him to the shore.Xu Xilu said goodbye to him, and just after taking two steps, he couldn't help turning around and said, "Young Master Lu, you... are very special."

Lu Xiangrong smiled again, the surrounding moonlight turned into autumn water in his eyes, "You too."

"Can we still meet?"

Lu Xiangrong lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Maybe."

Xu Xilu didn't say anything more, wrapped himself tightly in the fox fur, and walked slowly into the night.Lu Xiangrong looked at his back, his eyes turned cold little by little, the moment Xu Xilu disappeared from his sight, Liu Jinzhong appeared out of nowhere, and respectfully said: "My lord, it's time for us to go back too?"

Song Yanche said "En", and looked sideways at the last painting boat on the Xunjiang River.This painting boat is very gorgeous. Compared with it, other boats are flat boats.When approaching Zizi, the lights on the boat are still brightly lit, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly, and the laughter and singing of warblers can be vaguely heard mixed in.

"Jin Zhong."

"The slave is here."

"Compared with the dragon boat that my father took when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, which one do you think is more magnificent?"

Liu Jinzhong shuddered, bowed his waist and looked at the big boat in the river, with cold sweat on his forehead, "The dragon boat of the first emperor is naturally incomparable to other boats."

"Oh, that's right." Song Yanche said, "Go and find out who owns that boat and who is in it."

After Liu Jinzhong received the order, he immediately called the shadow guard who was hiding in the dark, and the shadow guard sneaked into the boat without a sound, and gave Liu Jinzhong a list within the time of a stick of incense. "Your Majesty, this boat is the private boat of Shen Zixian, the youngest son of Shen Guogong. Tonight, Shen Zixian invited the young sons of the honorable family in Beijing to drink and enjoy the moon on the boat. He also called a lot of teachers. The red card came as a companion."

Song Yanche took Liu Jinzhong's list and glanced at it. There were at least [-] or [-] names. He had heard of many of them, and some of them were even young talents who had already entered the court as officials. "Xu Xuanying...is he still there?"

"Yes," Liu Jinzhong said, "According to the news from Tianjiying, the last time Shen Guogong held a symposium at the Guogong Mansion, Xu Xuanying was present, and after that he had contacts with everyone in the Shen Party."

"Xu Xuanying...it's a pity." Song Yanche said so, but there was no sign of regret on his face. "One more thing, go and check, what happened to the Xu residence recently. If I guessed correctly, it should be Concubine Yuan's younger sister, Miss Xu San."

The time has passed, and there is only one boat left in the Xunjiang River, but the people inside have no intention of dispersing. For them, the night has just begun.

Shen Zixian put one arm around a girl, his crooked nose was reddened by wine.The two girls in his arms were only wearing semi-transparent thin shirts in winter, they didn't seem to feel the cold at all, and they were smiling and persuading them to drink.Ever since Jiang Zhiyuan of Pingxihou's family fell insane, Duan Lian, the second son of Duan Changfeng, the Minister of the Household Department, succeeded in taking the position and became Shen Zixian's follower.At this moment, he was sitting opposite Shen Zixian. He had just finished playing a game of mouth-to-mouth drinking with a girl, so he moved to Shen Zixian's side, pouted his mouth to the side, "Zixian, look over there."

Shen Zixian looked in the direction he said, and saw that at the table next to him, everyone else was having fun, except Xu Xiying who was sitting upright, and the beauty who served him wanted to throw herself into her arms several times, but he Pushed away without a trace.That beauty is also the red card of Jiaofang Secretary, how many people are coaxing her, but now she loses face in front of such a calm young man, she is very unhappy, so she just quit her job and turned to another person at the same table. Grandpa's embrace.

Seeing this, Shen Zixian couldn't help frowning.Duan Lian took the opportunity and said: "Zixian, you invited Xu Xuanying here today to give him face. But look, did he give you face? If you can't let go, don't come to play. You don't know this rule. Just sitting there with a straight face, as if the girl owes him money, it's boring."

Shen Zixian rolled his eyes, "Do you think I want to invite him? It's not because my father asked me to walk around with him a lot, so I posted him. What do you care about him? Come, come, drink, drink. I Is this wine much better than Qinghui Tower's?"

"Where is Zixian talking! Can Qinghuilou's wine be called wine?! It's like water in your mouth. I don't even want it for free!"

What did Duan Lian think about Xu Xuanying's displeasure, obviously everyone came to play together, but he was fine, he put on a look like everyone was drunk and I was sober, getting out of the mud but not stained, isn't this just slapping them in the face?Duan Lian thought for a while, then smiled narrowly: "Zi Xian, do you want to play big?"

Shen Zi has been immersed in Fengyuechang for a long time, he has played with everything, and he is tired of playing with common things.Hearing what Duan Lian said, he also became interested, "What do you want to play?"

Duan Lian said to the girl in Shen Zixian's arms: "My lord heard that Fanlou girl is both talented and beautiful. There is no man in the world who does not bow down under the girl's pomegranate skirt. When I saw her today, she really deserves her reputation."

The girl named Fan Lou pursed her lips and smiled, "Young Master Duan has won the prize."

"I just don't know, Miss Fanlou, is there any way to deal with Mr. Xu?"

Fan Lou turned his head and glanced at Xu Xuanying, winking like silk, and said, "Young Master Xu, he looks very refined and refined. It's a pity, as long as he is a man, he looks the same on the bed."

Everyone present laughed loudly when they heard the words, Duan Lian said: "In this way, Miss Fanlou is very sure."

"If the slave family is successful, what reward will Mr. Duan give the slave family?"

Duan Lian shined brightly, "If you can really seduce Mr. Xu, I will cover all the money for your rouge, gouache, and jewelry this year!"

Several people clapped their hands and cheered, "Okay, Brother Duan is really straightforward!" Fan Lou's eyes lit up, "Mr. Duan must keep his word."

Shen Zi said leisurely: "With my young master sitting in charge for you, why are you so worried? Go quickly!"

A prince who was at the same table with them said: "This Xu Xuanying's wife seems to be the granddaughter of Lord Jingguo, if she finds out about this..."

As soon as Fanlou stood up, he immediately sat down when he heard the words, and said coquettishly: "Mr. Duan, the wife of the Xu family won't really come to the door, right? The Xu family, the Lin family, and the slave family can't afford to offend any of them."

Duan Lian said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of! A wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief. Don't look at Xu Xuanying's seriousness, maybe he just wants us to send a beauty there!"

"Duke Jingguo, huh." Shen Zixian sneered, "Will I, Shen Zixian, be afraid of him?" The Duke of Jingguo's mansion has always been friendly with Xie's mansion. After Xie Ji's death, the Xie party gradually declined, and many people turned to Shen's mansion. Fortunately, Lord Yasukuni not only ran around for Xie Dang, but also openly spoke for them in front of the Holy One.Shen Xiuming had always been scruples about him, so Shen Zixian naturally disliked the people in the Lin family.

With the assurance of Shen Duan and his sons, Fanlou stood up again, "So, let's invite you to watch the show."

Xu Xuanying was born as a serious Jinshi. She has read poetry and books since she was a child, so she naturally knows what a gentleman should do and what a gentleman should not do.Since he became an official, he only went to some chatting banquets, and his close friends and friends are all scholars who are self-denying and respectful like him.He also knew that there were quite a few dandies like Shen Zixian, who loved to set up some low-level games and ignored the defenses of men and women at all, saying that they were reciting poems and drinking, but they were just playing tricks with prostitutes.Xu Xuanying would never come to this kind of situation.Today, the reason why he went to the banquet was also because of Mrs. Zhang's wishes.

Since Xie Dang fell behind, although Xu Taihe did not turn around and show favor to Shen Shi like some people, but he would act more or less in favor of Shen Shi; and his mother Zhang Shi, because of Xie Yao's relationship, never looked down upon Shen Shi. Shang Xie.In the past, she made Xu Xuanying stick close to the big tree of Prince Duan, but Prince Duan alienated Xu Xuanying for no reason.Now, she asked her son to curry favor with the Shen family, and heard that Shen Zixian had posted a post for him, asking him to come to the banquet.For this kind of thing, Xu Xuanying has long been numb.He knew that his mother would let him go only if he obeyed.That being the case, he was obedient, so why bother to make unnecessary struggles.

The crowd next door burst into bursts of laughter from time to time, Xu Xuanying only felt it was extremely harsh, and didn't know when he would be able to leave this place.

Just as Xu Xuanying was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a wonderful fragrance lingering in her nose, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a woman wearing makeup walking towards her. "Fanlou from the slave family, I have met Mr. Xu."

Shen Zixian and Duan Lian stopped dating prostitutes, and secretly observed the movement around them.Xu Xuanying at Fanlou station sat down slowly and poured him a glass of wine.Xu Xuanying shook his head first, Fan Lou didn't know what he had said to him, but he actually took Jiu Shang, raised his head and drank the glass of wine.

Duan Lian was amazed: "Unexpectedly, this fanlou is really capable, and can persuade that piece of wood?"

"Otherwise, how can I say that it is Jiaofang Division's number one card." Shen Zi smiled slyly, "It seems that brother Duan will have to spend a lot of money."

Another girl from the Jiaofang Division leaned on Duan Lian's thigh and said with a smile, "The reason why Sister Fanlou is the best in Beijing is because of her beauty."

"Oh?" Duan Lian raised her chin frivolously, "Then tell me, what is the main thing? Could it be a trick in the house?"

The girl pinched Duan Lian gently, and said coquettishly: "Sister Fanlou has been in the business for many years, and she has never seen any guests. If you want to win a man's heart, the most important thing is to see his weaknesses. Don't say it is Fanlou. My sister, and even I, can tell that Mr. Xu is frowning, and that he has something on his mind, and it is a family matter. In this case, it is nothing more than two situations, mother-child discord or husband and wife discord, as long as we grasp these two Points, coupled with my sister's unique incense, a man like Mr. Xu who has no taste for romance, is easy to catch."

Duan Lian suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Fanlou drank a lot of wine with Xu Xuanying, the latter was a little drunk, she thoughtfully helped him up, sent him to the inner room to rest, when passing by Shen Zixian and others, she still did not forget to cast a smug wink.

Xu Xilu returned home before Choushi, Jiudong and Xingnong were waiting for him.He took a bath first to wash off the smell of alcohol on his body, and he became more sober.He has been drinking tonight, and there is nothing in his stomach, and now he feels a little hungry.

Xing Nong smiled and said: "It's just right, Mrs. Xie brought some Lantern Festival, and I put it on the small stove to warm it up, do you want Er Ye to eat some?"

"How can you not eat Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival?" Xu Xilu said, "Twenty of them for my father!"

The Lantern Festival sent by Mrs. Xie is stuffed with sesame seeds and peanuts. It is round and round, very cute. It's okay to eat one or two, but it will get greasy if you eat too much.Xu Xilu boasted that he would have to eat twenty of them in Haikou, but he frowned at the end of the meal and barely finished it.After drinking and eating, he inquired about Xu Anning's situation today before going to sleep with his clothes on.

Presumably because of drinking, he soon fell into a dream.He felt that he had only slept for less than half an hour, when he heard someone calling him, "Second Master Xu, Second Master Xu..."

Xu Xilu closed his eyes, frowned, and murmured, "Xuan Mo, I'm so sleepy, let me sleep a little longer, and I'll go with you..."

Xuan Mo was quiet, and continued: "Second Master Xu, wake up first."

Xu Xilu opened his eyes reluctantly. He covered his face with the quilt, only showing a pair of sad eyes looking at him, "What's wrong with the little prince? Why does he have so many things?"

Xuan Mo looked at him with pity, and then he walked aside silently.Xu Xilu saw the person behind him clearly, and suddenly all sleepiness disappeared.
