Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

But she really didn't expect that Lu Xiao would be so capable of doing things.

Seeing that she liked these things, I immediately asked to send some more.

This way, her tea party can go on as usual.

By then, I will envy those guys who usually call her vulgar in private...

Chapter 90 Gu Tingye Arrives

Seeing Lu Xiaoru being so sensible, Madam Wang couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, what a pity! If only you were my son-in-law, Brother Xiao! The eldest wife is so lucky to have found such an outstanding son-in-law like you."

Only a simple-minded person like Madam Wang would say such a thing to Lu Xiao's face.

But she could say this, but Lu Xiao couldn't admit it.

He immediately replied, "Aunt, you're too kind. My sisters are all beautiful and intelligent, and now they've all reached the age of coming of age. They'll surely find husbands no worse than mine. After a while, I expect the line of relatives seeking favors will stretch from the Sheng family's gate to the South City Gate."

Madam Wang smiled even more happily.

"Hahaha, Xiao brother, you are really good at talking. I will lend you my good wishes."

Sheng Quan was not here today, so Lu Xiao could not stay at the mansion for long.

After chatting with Madam Wang for a while, he took his leave.

But the next day, another guest came to Sheng Mansion.

Or a classmate.

The next day, at the gate of Sheng Mansion.

Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng were waiting at the door early in the morning, looking eagerly awaiting someone.

Lu Xiao had just gotten off the carriage when he saw this scene.

"Hey, what are you two doing at the gate today? Are you waiting for me?"

Lu Xiao said jokingly.

Sheng Changbai immediately explained, "No, it's a good friend of mine who is coming to my house today to attend Zhuang Xuejiu's lecture, and we're here to welcome him."

Lu Xiao asked curiously, "Oh? Who is this person? Do I know him?"

Sheng Changbai shook his head and said, "You probably don't know him. He's been studying at the White Deer Grotto Academy for the past two years and isn't in Bianjing. He's the second son of the Ningyuan Marquisate, Gu Tingye."

Lu Xiao suddenly realized: "So it's him!"

Sheng Changbai asked in surprise, "Tuizhi, do you know him?"

Lu Xiao said, "That's not the case, but I've heard that the pioneer of the romantic formation, Zhao Zilong beneath the peony flowers, and the second son of the Gu family are well-known in the major restaurants and brothels in Bianjing City. It's impossible not to hear about them."

Sheng Changbai immediately said, "Alas, Zhong Huai was indeed a bit of a playboy in the past two years, but he has reformed in recent years and is now solely focused on the imperial examinations. I've known him for many years and know that's not his true nature. He's actually quite talented, and a master of both civil and military skills."

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "I know. I trust the people you've made friends with. No need to explain. You two can just wait. I'll go in first."

Sheng Changbai nodded.

But just as Lu Xiao stepped into the courtyard, Sheng Changfeng's surprised cry came from behind him.

"Second Brother Gu!"

Lu Xiao didn't turn around to look, but continued walking straight inside.

After passing the front hall, we soon arrived at the back garden.

At this moment, next to the small lake in the back garden, Sheng Xiaoliu was leaning against Xiaotao, sleeping soundly under a big tree.

At this moment, a sneaky figure appeared not far behind her.

The person who came was Qi Heng.

He was standing by the roadside, and when he saw Sheng Xiaoliu, he subconsciously wanted to go over and say hello.

But then he seemed to think of something.

After finally sighing, he continued walking towards the private school with his servant.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao nodded slightly.

It seems that Qi Heng did listen to some of what he said yesterday.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have hesitated just now.

No matter how long he can hold out from disturbing Sheng Xiaoliu this time.

It's good news anyway.

Lu Xiao then walked forward, and when he passed Sheng Xiaoliu and the other man, he deliberately raised his voice.

"Cough cough!"

Sheng Xiaoliu was suddenly awakened and stood up like a frightened bird.

Then she turned around and saw that only Lu Xiao was standing on the side of the road, and then she spoke angrily.

"Brother-in-law, why are you scaring me?"

Lu Xiao asked, "Who scared you? Mr. Zhuang's class is about to start, and you're still sleeping here. I kindly reminded you, and you're blaming me?"

Sheng Xiaoliu said aggrievedly, "I didn't want to be late, but those moves you taught me yesterday were so tiring that I accidentally fell asleep."

Lu Xiao nodded. "You're tired, that's right. It means you've really practiced hard, but it's unavoidable. You'll get used to it after a few days of practice."

"Oh." Sheng Xiaoliu nodded obediently.

At this moment, not far behind them, the two Changbai brothers came over with a person, their faces filled with joy.

When the visitor saw Sheng Xiaoliu, he immediately spoke in a familiar manner.

"Oh, this is the Sixth Miss, right? I didn't expect you to have grown so big in just a blink of an eye after not seeing you for so many years."

Sheng Xiaoliu blinked and then recognized Gu Tingye.

"Are you the second brother of the Gu family?"

The two had some interactions when they were young, so they knew each other.

And because of Lu Xiao, Qi Heng wasn't present when the two met this time, so Sheng Xiaoliu didn't call Gu Tingye "Second Uncle."

The Gu and Qi families were related in their ancestral family. In their generation, Gu Tingye was just one generation older than Qi Heng.

The name "Second Uncle" was given because Sheng Xiaoliu and Qi Heng were classmates.

But now, other people don't know this.

Therefore, Sheng Xiaoliu is called by the same generational name as her brother Changbai.

After all, Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai are close friends.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Gu Tingye looked at Lu Xiao beside him curiously.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes at this moment.

Logically, the Sheng family's upbringing would never allow a man from outside the family to be intimate with their daughter in private.

Although the behavior between the two of them just now could not be considered close, it was definitely not unfamiliar.

But Sheng Changbai beside him didn't say a word from beginning to end.

In Gu Tingye's eyes, this is indeed not right.

So he was very curious about Lu Xiao's identity.

"Who is this?"

Before Lu Xiao could speak, Sheng Changfeng beside him immediately introduced himself anxiously.

"Second Brother Gu, let me introduce you. This is my cousin's brother-in-law from the Sheng family back home in Youyang. Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is this year's top scholar in Suzhou Prefecture. Even Zhuang Xuejiu admires his talent. He's truly amazing."

Sheng Changfeng is much younger than Sheng Changbai, so his personality is much more lively.

Young people love to worship idols the most.

At this moment, Lu Xiao was the person Sheng Changfeng admired the most.

After hearing this explanation, Gu Tingye finally understood.

Since he is Sheng Changfeng's brother-in-law, he is naturally Sheng Minglan's brother-in-law as well.

They are all relatives, so it is not really rude for them to say something to each other in broad daylight.

No wonder Changbai didn't stop him just now.

At this time, Lu Xiao also introduced himself: "Hello, Brother Zhong Huai. My name is Lu Xiao, and my courtesy name is Tuizhi."

Gu Tingye politely replied, "Hello, Brother Tuizhi."

Lu Xiao was a top scholar in a prefecture, and his bachelorhood was also recognized by Master Zhuang, so he naturally wanted to make friends with him.

After getting to know each other, they walked towards the academy together.

But what happened in the academy today was bound to shock Gu Tingye...

Chapter 91 Guangyuntai

After a morning of classes, Gu Tingye benefited greatly from Zhuang Xuejiu's erudition.

But what surprised him even more was Lu Xiao's talent.

In class, if others could answer Zhuang Xuejiu's questions correctly, it would be considered excellent.

But whenever he came to Lu Xiao's place, he would always say something shocking and outrageous.

This forced Zhuang Xuejiu to engage in a debate with Lu Xiao in class.

But in the end, Zhuang Xuejiu almost always admitted defeat.

How can this be classmates?

He is clearly a scholar whose talent and learning are in no way inferior to that of Zhuang Xuejiu.

Today, Gu Tingye was shocked.

At the same time, after the class, his admiration for Lu Xiao also increased several levels.

He even thought to himself that if even Lu Xiao couldn't pass the imperial examination in a few months, then no student in the world would be qualified to become a Jinshi.

After noon, today's class is over.

Today, Master Zhuang rarely let Lu Xiao stay in the classroom alone.

This gave Changbai an opportunity to invite Lu Xiao.

"Tuizhi, Zhong Huai just arrived today, and we're planning to give him a welcome dinner. Would you like to come along?"

Gu Tingye and Lu Xiao were meeting for the first time, so they were not very familiar with each other.

However, as a good friend of both parties, Changbai really wanted the two of them to get in touch.

This is a good thing for both Gu Tingye and Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao naturally wouldn't refuse this.

So he agreed immediately.

"Okay, set the time. I'll go home and tell my wife that I'll be there on time."

Hearing this, Gu Ye looked at Lu Xiao in surprise.

"Brother Tuizhi is already married?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Second Brother Gu, have you damaged your brain by studying at the White Deer Cave Academy? I've already told you that this is my brother-in-law, brother-in-law. How can you be my brother-in-law if we don't get married?"

Gu Tingye immediately slapped his forehead.

"Oh, look at my brain. I was so engrossed in the lecture just now that I forgot about this matter. I was thinking that since Brother Tuizhi is such a talented person, I would introduce him to Wei Xingshou tonight. Now I think I was confused."

Wei Xingshou, a famous talented woman in Kyoto, was not only beautiful but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing. She was the top performer at Guangyuntai, and her clients in Bianliang City were either wealthy or noble.

And Gu Tingye is the confidant of this Wei Xingtou.

There was no brothel in Bianjing City, big or small, that Gu Tingye was not familiar with.

"No, Second Brother Gu, my brother-in-law doesn't need it, but I do. I've wanted to get to know Chief Wei for a long time."
