Feng Zhong has been reviewing his lessons at home during this period. Feng Jiu is really bored, so she asks her elder brother to take her out for a walk.
Since my elder brother came to the capital, he has been reading at home and has not gone anywhere.
Feng Jiu also wanted her older brother to make some friends. Feng Zhong doted on his younger sister, so when he saw that his sister wanted to go out and play, he agreed.
Fengjiu heard that there was a Nan'an Temple outside the capital. The scenery there was very beautiful, and there was a hundred-acre plum forest in the temple. Fengjiu wanted to go and see it.
The other brothers were at home writing invitations, so the brother and sister drove out with a little boy named Si.
An hour later, the car stopped at the foot of Nan'an Temple Mountain, and the brother and sister got out and went up the mountain.
There was still thick snow on the mountain. Feng Zhong held his sister in his arms and used his Qinggong skills to reach the temple gate in just one cup of tea.
There was a young novice monk at the door. Seeing the two people, he asked: "Are you here to pray for blessings?"
Feng Zhong nodded: "Please lead the way, little master."
The young monk led the two into the main hall. Feng Zhong put down the Fengjiu, took the incense and candles from the young monk's hand, knelt on the cushion and kowtowed three times.
He also added ten taels of silver for incense and oil. Not many people came to the temple today. The whole temple was empty, and only a few monks were seen occasionally.
The young monk said that the plum blossoms on the back mountain were in full bloom, and the donor could go there for a walk.
The brother and sister went to the back mountain. The plum forest on the back mountain was very large, with no end in sight. Clusters of red plums were in full bloom, which looked very artistic against the white snow.
Fengjiu was attracted by the beautiful scenery. When they walked into the plum forest, the fragrance of plum blossoms hit their noses, and they felt their body and mind were open.
The brother and sister found an open space and set up a table. Fengjiu also took out the plum blossom tea made by Nangong Beichen, which Nangong Beichen found in the tea room.
After trying it, he found it very delicious and fragrant, so he made some for Fengjiu himself.
In today's situation, it is just right to drink plum blossom tea. Feng Zhong saw that the water was boiling, so he heated the tea set. As soon as the tea leaves were opened, a pleasant floral fragrance came.
Fengjiu also brought out some cakes and snacks. Fengzhong poured a cup of tea for his sister. They both took a sip and their eyes lit up. It was just right with the cake.
Feng Zhong couldn't help but think of a poem about plum blossoms written by Wang Anshi in a book in his sister's space.
Feng Zhong looked at the beautiful scene and recited, "A few plum blossoms stand alone in the corner, braving the cold. I know from afar that it is not snow because of the subtle fragrance."
The brother and sister looked at the scenery, not realizing that they had also become a beautiful sight in the eyes of others.
A man dressed in men's clothes not far away was looking at the two people not far ahead.
The man had a smooth, fair face, with sharp edges and a cold handsomeness. His eyes were as bright as stars, blinking with charming colors. His thick eyebrows, high nose, and beautiful lips all showed his nobility and elegance.
Wearing a white dress today, he looks even more elegant and refined, more like a fairy walking out of a painting.
The girl next to her has curved willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of charming eyes, a straight nose, slightly rosy cheeks, and skin as white as ice and snow. Although there is still a little baby fat on her face, it is not difficult to tell what kind of peerless beauty she will be when she grows up.
It was only when the snow from the plum tree fell into her collar that she came to her senses.
He walked over unconsciously. Seeing someone coming, Feng Zhong smiled at the person and said, "Sir, are you here to enjoy the flowers as well?"
Nangong Meng was startled by the man's smile, and her heart couldn't help but beat rapidly.
When Fengjiu turned around, she saw the man's cheeks flushed, staring blankly at her elder brother.
Fengjiu looked up and down at the visitor. Haha, this is a beautiful girl. Didn’t big brother see that?
The person who came was Nangong Beichen’s biological sister, Nangong Meng.
The visitor realized his own impoliteness and said, "I heard that the plum blossoms in Nan'an Temple are unique, so I came to see them. I'm sorry to disturb your elegant enjoyment."
Feng Zhong waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm here to accompany my younger sister. If you don't mind, please sit down and have a cup of tea."
Feng Zhong wiped the stool where Fengjiu had placed the fruit with a tissue and handed it to the man.
The man thanked him and sat down.
"I just heard your poem. You are also a scholar. I wonder what your name is?"
"My name is Feng Zhong, and I'm also a scholar. The poem I just recited wasn't written by me. I stumbled across it in a book and only read it out loud when I saw this beautiful scene. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, young master!"
"Are you from the capital? Which academy do you study in?"
Feng Zhong: "I have just arrived in the capital and have not yet entered the academy."
"My name is Nan Meng. I'm from the capital, and I'm studying at Lushan Academy. Young Master, your literary talent is so great, have you ever thought about coming to Lushan Academy?"
Feng Zhong: "I will listen to the arrangements made by my family elders. I may also enter Lushan Academy in the future."
Feng Zhong pushed the tea in front of Nan Meng and said, "Sir, try this tea and see if it suits your taste."
Nan Meng picked up the teacup, sniffed it, took a sip, and her eyes lit up.
Brother Feng's tea is a treasure. It has an elegant and rich aroma and a long-lasting fragrance. It gives you a sense of pleasure at the first sniff.
Fengjiu: "Brother, do you feel pleasure from drinking tea or from seeing people?"
Nangong Meng almost choked when she heard this. Looking into the eyes of the little one in front of her, she felt as if she was seen through by her.
Nangong Meng touched his nose and said, "Both. I'm very happy to meet you two today."
Feng Zhong also had a good impression of the person in front of him: "Don't be naughty, Nannan."
Feng Jiu stuck out her tongue at her elder brother, and Feng Zhong invited Nangong Meng to have some snacks. Both of them were very knowledgeable and felt that they had met too late.
Fengjiu couldn't get a word in at the side. She never knew her brother was so eloquent.
When they returned home, the three of them went together. Nangong Meng came in a carriage, but went back in Feng Zhong's carriage.
Nangong Meng just returned to the capital yesterday and had already seen her father driving this car in the palace.
At this time, she also knew that Feng Zhong should be the son of the Marquis of Anping.
Feng Zhong sent her to the outside of the general's mansion, and the two agreed to go to Wangyue Tower for tea the next day. Then he took his sister back to the mansion.
Fengjiu said, "Big brother, do you like this little brother very much?"
Feng Zhong: "What do you mean by like? We just have similar interests. We are both men, how can we use the word like?"
Fengjiu: "She doesn't want to talk anymore, so let this silly brother be tricked by the little sister back to her nest."
Fengjiu just felt that this young lady looked very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
If Fengjiu sees the prince, she will remember who the young lady looks like.
As soon as the two returned home, they saw several pairs of resentful eyes looking at them.
Feng Zhan: "Sister really loves big brother the most. She never takes us with her when she goes out to play."
The other brothers also looked at the two with resentful eyes.
Feng Jiu touched her nose guiltily: "My brothers are busy, I am alone in the mansion and no one is playing with me, so I had to ask my big brother to take me out. Brothers, please don't be angry, can we go out together next time?"
The brothers said: "Big brother also has to write invitations. My sister just likes big brother more, so she takes him out to play. My sister is so mean."
