"Brother! Princess!"
Seeing Lu Ze's ear, Lu Baoshuang ran to Lu Ze and said, "Brother, you are finally here. We have been worried about you these days!"
Lu Ze said, "I came here yesterday. I heard that you also participated in the training between the Zhong family and the Dragon and Tiger Army last night?"
Lu Baoshuang smiled and said, "Yes, let me tell you, this young general in charge of the Dragon and Tiger Army is really stupid. I pretended to be a commoner and called him brother softly a few times, and he really fell for my beauty trap and was knocked unconscious by me.
Haha, I stole his military token, and winning was effortless. It's no wonder that the Qi family's army praised the two major generals of the Zhu family, but that's all!"
"It's you?!" Zhu Feng gritted his teeth as he walked up to Lu Baoshuang and said, "It really is you. Your victory was unfair. You are so insidious and treacherous!"
Lu Baoshuang looked at Zhu Feng. There were no lights on the mountain last night, and the only illumination was the moonlight. She could not see Zhu Feng's appearance last night. It was only after she knocked Zhu Feng unconscious and touched the unfamiliar material of his clothes and the military token of the Dragon and Tiger Army in his hand that she knew his identity.
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "You won the competition last night dishonorably. If you're brave enough, let's compete again."
Lu Baoshuang said, "Let's compete!"
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze looked at each other. They learned from Lingling that the two would be husband and wife in the future. Now it seems that their journey to becoming husband and wife is still very bumpy.
Lu Ze asked Lu Baoshuang, "Why aren't Baoxue and Lu Yun here?"
Lu Baoshuang said, "Lu Yun fell and injured his leg last night. Baoxue took him back to Prince Qi's mansion."
Qi Yuning asked, "Is it serious?"
Lu Ze sneered and said, "How serious can he be? He must be trying to take advantage of the opportunity to slack off."
Qi Yu'an rehearsed last night's battle and realized that the two brothers, Zhu Yang and Zhu Feng, had indeed lost miserably because they trusted Lu Baoshuang.
Qi Yu'an had no choice but to lecture Zhu Feng and told him not to trust others easily, then he found Zhong Xin and Zhu Ling to discuss going to Shengjing.
Qi Yuanan handed the task of preparing food and fodder to Qi Yuning. Qi Yuning was in charge of the Qi family's money, so Qi Yuning gladly accepted the task.
…
Lu Baohua brought Lingling to the door of the Zhong family and told the doorman the purpose of their visit.
Not long after, Lu Baohua saw Zhong Ming coming out holding Zhong You's hand.
When Lu Baohua saw that it was Zhong Ming, his face flushed slightly and he said, "Second Young Master Zhong."
Zhong Ming said, "Miss Lu, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Zhong Ming."
Lu Baohua said calmly, "Lingling wants to study with Young Master Ayou..."
Zhong Ming said, "Ayou usually has a teacher to teach him. It would be great if Princess Lingling could study with him. I was going to take Ayou to see his teacher."
Lu Baohua said repeatedly, "Lingling is too young. I'm afraid she won't understand what the old man is saying. I'm planning to teach her a few random words first."
Zhong Ming smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Lu could teach. Ah You, do you want to follow Lingling and ask Miss Lu to teach you?"
Without waiting for little Ayou to say anything, Lingling stepped forward, took Ayou's hand and said, "Brother Ayou, let's study together!"
Zhong Ming said to Lu Baohua, "Then I'll take you back to Prince Qi's Mansion. Second Miss Lu is a teacher, so I guess she's well-read. I wonder what kind of books she reads?"
Lu Baohua said calmly, "I've been reading the book 'Diao Wen Tan' recently."
Zhong Ming asked, "Is it the Diaowen Tan compiled by a great scholar in the court, which contains many excellent fu poems since the Great Prosperity?"
Lu Baohua said, "This book has only just been published in Shengjing. I didn't expect you to know about it?"
Zhong Ming said softly, "I love books, but unfortunately I was born into a military family. Since I was a child, martial arts training has been more important than studying. However, I am good friends with Prince Xu. Prince Xu appreciates talents and will send me some new books from Shengjing City."
Lu Baohua said, "Prince Xu is obsessed with literature. Not long ago, I heard him mention at a literary gathering that he wanted to invite Xianchu Jushi to Shengjing City. I also admire Xianchu Jushi's prose, but now I don't have the chance to see him. I have to wait until the situation stabilizes."
When little Ayou heard the four words "Xianchu Jushi", he looked up at Zhong Ming, and Zhong Ming shook his head at him.
Zhong Ming smiled faintly and asked, "I wonder which of Mr. Xianchu's poems is Miss Lu's favorite?"
Lu Baohua said, "That poem, 'Smoke on the Frontier,' is so majestic. When I read it in the capital, I felt as if the desert scenery was right before my eyes. Coming to the north city, seeing the vast expanse of yellow sand, it was even more stunning. That fu is so well written. Mr. Xianchu is truly a genius of his time."
"Miss Lu, you are too kind."
Lu Baohua looked at Zhong Ming and said, "I'm not praising him, it's really good. You can't underestimate Mr. Xianchu's article."
Little Ayou looked up at Lu Baohua and said, "Aunt Lingling, my uncle is the lay Buddhist Xianchu..."
