The next day, news of Nan Wusi beating numerous suitors to a pulp spread throughout the capital, further cementing his reputation as the "Demon of the Capital." Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhirou was so enraged that she smashed several pieces of porcelain.
"Madam, please don't be angry." Nan Tianba comforted her from the side, "Our Sisi has not done anything wrong. Those good-for-nothings can't even beat Sisi, and they are not worthy of being my son-in-law."
"You make it sound so easy. Tell me, how many people in the capital can beat Wusi?" Jiang Zhirou snorted coldly and sat down on the wooden chair in a huff.
“This…” Nan Tianba had no idea that he had little contact with these younger generations in the capital.
"Her actions this time have completely damaged her reputation. How can a young woman marry into a good family if she loses her good reputation?" Jiang Zhirou slammed her hand on the table again.
"Yes, yes, Madam is absolutely right," Nan Tianba said gently. "Madam, please be careful with your hands."
"Let Wufeng take Wusi to meet his good friend tomorrow. Wusi can't very well beat up her brother's friend too." Jiang Zhirou rubbed her temples.
“Good, good, good.” Nan Tianba naturally agreed repeatedly.
And now Namo Si is with Namo Yu.
"Hehe, Second Brother, your method is really effective. You beat these young masters so badly they don't dare to come back." Nan Wusi grinned from ear to ear. She really enjoyed beating people up this time. She wished there would be more opportunities like this in the future.
"This method cannot be used frequently, and it will eventually damage your reputation." Nan Wuyu had also heard about the rumors circulating outside.
"What's there to be afraid of? I don't care about these empty titles. At worst, I'll never get married." Nan Wusi was completely unconcerned.
In the past few days, she converted all the dividends sent by Prince Yi into beauty points to pay off the debt she owed the system. She also upgraded her martial arts to intermediate level, otherwise she wouldn't have won so easily yesterday. After sparring with her eldest and second brothers, she estimated that there were probably few people in the younger generation who could beat her, so she and her second brother came up with this method together.
“Your mother will probably continue to look for suitable men for you. You should also keep an eye on things. There are still some men in the capital who are quite good in all aspects,” Nan Wuyu advised.
"We'll see when the time comes. It's all up to fate." On the surface, she still planned to go on the blind date her mother arranged, as Nan Wusi didn't want to strain her relationship with her mother too much.
But when it comes to blind dates, it all comes down to fate, and she really isn't interested right now.
As a result, during dinner that evening, Jiang Zhirou suggested that Nan Wusi go out and have some fun with Nan Wufeng the next day.
Nan Wusi looked at Nan Wufeng with a suspicious gaze, but the latter just kept grinning foolishly.
The next day, after Nan Wusi finished washing up, Ye Zi asked, "Miss, would you like to dress up nicely today?"
"No need, just act as usual." Nan Wusi didn't take these blind dates to heart, so she naturally wouldn't dress up specially, lest others think she was desperate to get married.
As they were leaving, Nan Wusi nudged Nan Wufeng beside him: "Brother, it's getting late, you should tell me who you're going to see."
“It is time to tell you.” Nan Wufeng thought for a moment and said, “Today I went to see your older brother’s childhood friend, named Xia Ziqian, who is the current Hanlin Academy Academician.”
"Brother Ziqian is a man of exceptional literary talent, humble and polite, and from a respectable family. He is a man worthy of trust."
"Brother, it's a pity you're not going to play matchmaker, haha." Nan Wusi joked, but in his heart he was thinking that he had been his brother's playmate since childhood, and was also a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. He must be a cultured man. He shouldn't go too far today. What if he ruined the brother's brotherly relationship with the other party?
Although Nan Wufeng didn't know what Nan Wusi was thinking, he also felt quite embarrassed today. He remembered the strange expression Ziqian had given him when he told him yesterday that he wanted to introduce his sister to him.
"Is this what Brother Wufeng means?" Xia Ziqian asked.
"This is my mother's wish," Nan Wufeng answered honestly.
"Have you chosen a time and place to meet?"
"Not yet." Nan Wufeng was being forced into this situation, and besides, how would he know anything about places for entertainment? "Brother Ziqian, do you have any recommendations?"
“There is a teahouse called Tingfeng Shuixie by Qingyu Lake. The environment is beautiful and it should be suitable.”
“Alright, let’s choose this place then.” Nan Wufeng agreed immediately, feeling it was a good fit.
"Then tomorrow at 1-3 PM, Ziqian will be waiting for you both at Tingfeng Water Pavilion." Xia Ziqian nodded.
Nan Wusi had also heard of Tingfeng Water Pavilion, built on Qingyu Lake. Each floor had a private room with a large terrace, offering beautiful scenery and daily performances, making it perfect for leisure and entertainment. However, it was extremely difficult to make a reservation. She had been in this dynasty for so long without ever visiting, and she never expected to be able to benefit from Young Master Xia's presence today.
Nan Wusi walked towards Tingfeng Water Pavilion in a very relaxed mood, not taking the blind date seriously at all. On the contrary, she thought that since she finally had the chance to go to Tingfeng Water Pavilion, she should definitely have a good time.
But she noticed that her older brother seemed even more nervous than she was. "Brother, why are you more nervous than me? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going on a blind date," Nan Wusi joked.
"Third sister, please stop making fun of me. This is the first time I've experienced something like this before." Nan Wufeng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was genuinely afraid that his sister might do something outrageous.
As if knowing what his elder brother was thinking, Nan Wusi patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, elder brother, I won't embarrass your friend today. I don't want to be the culprit who ruins your friendship."
"It's good that you know." Although Nan Wusi assured him repeatedly, Nan Wufeng was still uneasy, hoping that nothing would go wrong today.
