At noon in spring, the bright sunshine shines obliquely into the courtyard.

It also fell on Zhuo Donglai's face.

He had been sitting here quietly for half an hour, but there was no trace of the anxiety and impatience of a young man on his face.

He sat there calmly, as if his heart was as still as water.

But he was not at peace in his heart - Princess Taiping actually took Fu Xiaoguan to Guanyuntai early in the morning!

This was very bad news, and when a series of pieces of information came together at this moment, he understood Princess Taiping's intentions.

She took her women's army to the Qishan Corridor!

She rushed back to Guanyun City with her female army, intending to capture Bei Wangchuan, simply because Bei Wangchuan shot Fu Xiaoguan with two arrows in the border town of Yu Dynasty... Unfortunately, she didn't kill the guy!

Could it be that Bei Wangchuan is old too?

Not only did he fail to shoot Fu Xiaoguan to death, he was also said to have been seriously injured!

Then Princess Taiping took the women's army to Fanning City and said: I will support you!

These words were like a sharp dagger piercing Zhuo Donglai's chest, making him feel the pain from the wound even when he breathed.

Today was only the second day since Fu Xiaoguan arrived in Guanyun City, and she took Fu Xiaoguan to Guanyun Terrace again.

Will she come here with Fu Xiaoguan?

Zhuo Donglai was very nervous. If he saw her, how would he face her?

Fu Xiaoguan walked over and stood opposite Zhuo Donglai, just blocking the ray of sunlight falling on Zhuo Donglai's face.

Zhuo Donglai withdrew his thoughts and looked at Fu Xiaoguan.

Fu Xiaoguan smiled and looked at Zhuo Donglai - he was a handsome young man with a cold and unruly look in his eyes, sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, and a face as sculpted as a sculpture, with sharp edges and corners.

In terms of appearance, Fu Xiaoguan felt inferior and thought that if a man like him were in his previous life, he would be the best choice to play the role of Li Xunhuan.

Facing Zhuo Donglai's gaze, Fu Xiaoguan sat down opposite him.

Chunxiu brought the tea set and looked up at Zhuo Donglai. She was also extremely amazed in her heart - this man was comparable to Su Mo, but he was a little sharper than Su Mo and was difficult to approach.

Fu Xiaoguan started to make tea and asked, "Master Zhuo, what brings you here?"

"Come to see you."

"What do you think after watching it?"

"Fine."

Fu Xiaoguan nodded, seeming quite satisfied with Shangke's comment.

"What do you feel after watching the clouds?" Zhuo Donglai asked.

“Its momentum is magnificent, its changes are unpredictable, and it is extremely beautiful.”

Fu Xiaoguan spoke casually as he picked up the tea leaves and put them into the teapot, only to find that the quality of the tea was not very good.

"I'm not here for tea..." Zhuo Donglai stood up and said to Fu Xiaoguan, "I'm here to tell you that many students from the Wu Dynasty will come to ask for advice. It won't be poetry or prose, but fists, kicks, and swords. Don't misunderstand me, this is not my instigation. I can tell you directly that I like Princess Taiping, but I won't use this method to defeat you, because it's boring."

"They have their reasons for coming to you for advice, and I don't have the ability to stop them, so you must handle it well. Don't get seriously injured and miss the literary gathering. That would be disastrous."

"Also, there are many beautiful sights in Guanyun City. You can go and see them when you have time."

He then walked towards the door, but paused before adding, "The cloud mist sold at Piaoxiang Pavilion in Guanyun City is quite good. You can go buy some to try, or I can give you some as a gift."

Fu Xiaoguan laughed and said, "How about we have a drink before we go?"

"Thank you. I will defeat you in the area you are best at. Don't take it lightly!"

Zhuo Donglai walked out of the embassy gate. Fu Xiaoguan raised his eyebrows and poured himself a cup of tea. This kid talked so much - in Fu Xiaoguan's opinion, this was an immature behavior.

There was no need for him to come and remind himself of this, and there was no need for him to come here to express his feelings for Princess Taiping. This seemed to show that he was upright, but Fu Xiaoguan believed that this was just because he was unsure.

Fu Xiaoguan certainly had no resentment towards Zhuo Donglai. The two people who had nothing in common had an intersection because of Wu Linger, and he was the innocent party. This made him a little distressed, especially after he knew that Xianqingju was actually sold for one million taels of silver. His heart was bleeding!

What on earth is this unreliable dad thinking?

I remember when my father came to Nanjing, he said that our family had 1.2 million taels of silver in savings. I thought it was a huge sum of money, but in the blink of an eye, the first 1 was gone.

What's even more outrageous is that this contract is actually linked to this poetry competition - could it be that the fat man Fu Daguan is so sure that his son can win the first prize?

He suddenly frowned. The fat man was very shrewd. He wondered if he had deliberately included that clause in the contract just to force himself to win the championship.

If he wins the championship, he must marry Wu Linger - this is what the fat guy is thinking!

Fu Xiaoguan suddenly woke up, the fat man hoped that he would marry Wu Linger!

The fat man knew that when he saw the one million taels of silver about to sink into the water, Fu Xiaoguan, the money-grubber, would definitely risk his life to fish it out!

Therefore, the fat man is probably secretly happy at this moment. He certainly doesn't care how many women Fu Xiaoguan marries. In the fat man's opinion, his son will naturally marry better and better women, not to mention that the object of this marriage is the only Princess Taiping of the Wu Dynasty!

What the hell! Fu Xiaoguan took a breath of cold air. The fat guy is so insidious that he actually set up the trap here!

Since Xianqingju is already under his name, of course he has to go and take a look to see what one million taels of silver looks like.

Or, take Wenyun and the others to live there?

Stayed for eight days, and then it was gone, worth one hundred and twenty-five thousand taels of silver a day!

This is probably the most expensive inn in the world!

Fu Xiaoguan couldn't sit still anymore. Move, move, I want to live in Xianqingzhu!

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Fu Xiaoguan shouted to Deng Xiu, "Call Xu Huaishu over."

Xu Huaishu thought Fu Xiaoguan wanted to have tea with him to discuss something, but he didn't expect to hear these words:

"I've thought about it and decided this isn't a suitable place for the Ninth Princess to live. I'm planning to take them to Xianqingju to live—don't look at me like that, Xianqingju is my property. If anything happens, just come to Xianqingju to let us know. If I have anything to do, I'll naturally come here too... It's settled!"

Xu Huaishu opened his mouth in astonishment, wondering when did this kid acquire property in the Wu Dynasty?

"When are we moving there?"

"Right now!"

Fu Xiaoguan stood up anxiously and was about to go to the backyard to inform Dong Shulan and Yu Wenjun, but suddenly turned around and looked outside the door.

There was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the embassy, ​​as well as various shouts:

"Master Fu, do you dare to come out and fight us?"

I'll fight your sister!

I'm moving and going to stay in an inn that costs 125,000 taels of silver a day!

Do you guys know how much money it costs every minute?
