The man was wearing a crescent-colored gown, which looked very soft and smooth. Under the morning light, the white light of the moon seemed to flow between his sleeves. He wore a warm jade crown on his head, which was inlaid with several crystal clear gems, flashing a faint but charming light. Looking down, the man had a pair of white and slender hands, gently holding a folding fan.
The breeze blew gently, and the man's clothes fluttered in the wind, giving people a sense of lightness and elegance, and there was a unique rhythm in his movements. Such a demeanor can be described as "the man on the street is like jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world."
The servant followed his master, holding a heavy gift. When they arrived at the third house, Nangong Jingzhi raised his eyes and carefully examined the house in front of him which was decorated very festively.
At this time, the host was already entertaining guests in the house, and he did not expect that someone would come to celebrate.
The concierge Qu Da hurried forward to greet him. Nangong Jingzhi asked, "Is this the Su family?"
"Our family head's surname is Su."
That's right.
Nangong Jingzhi walked into the courtyard, and the servant handed the gift to Mo Yu who was standing at the door to register.
Mo Yu was very surprised when he saw the gift list, and shouted loudly to the courtyard: "Nangong Jingzhi sent a gift, a pair of jade ruyi, ten pieces of brocade, and one hundred taels of gold."
When the guests who were chatting happily in twos and threes in the courtyard heard the gift list, they were so shocked that they stopped talking.
Nangong Jingzhi, this name is both unfamiliar and familiar to the people of Xinghua Village and Lijia Village.
They knew a person named Nan Jingzhi, but they didn't know Nangong Jingzhi. However, the smart ones quickly realized that this Nangong Jingzhi was Nan Jingzhi.
As for the neighbors in Qingshi Lane, they did not know Nangong Jingzhi, but the generous gift really opened their eyes and they began to discuss the identity of the visitor.
"Who is this person and why is he so generous?"
"Maybe it's some wealthy businessman!"
As Nangong Jingzhi passed through the screen wall and came into view of everyone, his image of a handsome and elegant gentleman with an air of elegance and grace attracted everyone's attention.
When everyone was impressed by Nangong Jingzhi's natural nobility, the head of the Zhao family noticed a pattern underneath Nangong Jingzhi's moon-white gown. After seeing the pattern clearly, his eyes widened.
"This man is so handsome." Zhao exclaimed.
"Stop talking nonsense." The head of the Zhao family immediately scolded his wife.
Zhao noticed that her husband looked strange, as if he knew the other person, and asked curiously, "Do you know this person?"
The people standing around the Zhao couple were all neighbors in Qingshi Lane. Upon hearing this, they all looked at the head of the Zhao family.
"Old Zhao, who is this person?"
"Tell us quickly, who is this person and what does he do?"
Patriarch Zhao did not keep the secret and explained directly to everyone, "How can someone of my status know someone of his status?"
As soon as these words were spoken, others became more curious.
The head of the Zhao family is quite famous in the Qingshi Lane area. He is the chief clerk in the yamen and has certain power. The neighbors around him usually try to curry favor with him.
But now the other person says that he is not worthy of knowing the other person, which shows that the person who comes is not an ordinary person.
"Master Zhao, please tell us quickly."
"Yeah yeah."
Patriarch Zhao lowered his voice and said, "I don't know that person, but I know the family emblem on his clothes."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked up and down for the clan emblem on Nangong Jingzhi's body. After a closer look, they actually saw a pattern. If you don't look closely, you will really miss it.
"Do you know which family the emblem belongs to?"
In fact, at this point, everyone present had more or less guessed something.
After all, they are people who have lived in Shangjing City for many years and know more about some powerful people and noble families than outsiders.
A family with a family crest must not be a small family.
"Whose?" They couldn't recognize it and could only ask the head of the Zhao family to answer their questions.
Without waiting for Patriarch Zhao to speak, Liu Yunzhou, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up, "Didn't we say during the ceremony just now that we are from the Nangong family?"
Everyone suddenly realized.
"Oh, look at my memory." The head of the Jiang family slapped his forehead, wondering how could he have forgotten this.
Not to mention the head of the Jiang family, the same goes for other families. They all forgot about this.
Patriarch Zhao nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it is the emblem of the Nangong family."
"Oh my god! He's actually from the Nangong family."
You should know that the Nangong family is well-known throughout the Dayong Dynasty and is highly valued by the emperor.
The reason is simple. The Nangong family has many skilled craftsmen and many magical weapons, and the people in the Ministry of War are on good terms with the Nangong family.
In the court, the Nangong family even has a first-rank official in charge.
"Who do you think this Su family member is? How could they know someone from the Nangong family?"
“I don’t know.”
It is precisely because of this unclear information that the Su family appears even more extraordinary.
The neighbors in Qingshi Lane noticed that Nangong Jingzhi was chatting happily with those people whom they looked down upon and seemed a little shabby. This made them unconsciously put away their contempt and start to look at this group of people in a new light.
These people actually knew people from the Nangong family, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other.
No matter who they are, these people are not easy to offend.
Knowing the Nangong family, at least they have this network of connections, but ordinary people like them don’t have that ability.
With the arrival of Nangong Jingzhi, the scene became more lively.
After greeting Su Xiaozhong, the head of the family, Nangong Jingzhi started to have a lively conversation with Su Yin.
Nangong Jingzhi spoke with a slightly dissatisfied tone of questioning, "Miss Su Yin, you are really not kind. You came to Shangjing City and didn't come to look for me. If Nan Wu hadn't seen you, would you not have informed me of such a happy event as moving to a new house?"
Su Yin apologized repeatedly, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I just came here not long ago, and everything is not settled yet. I'm busy with too many things and have no time to spare, so I didn't visit you. How can you, a pregnant woman, care about a little girl like me?"
When saying the last sentence, Su Yin glared at Nangong Jingzhi, giving him a look that said "you are petty-minded", letting him figure it out for himself.
Nangong Jingzhi laughed angrily, "If you were a little girl, many men in this world would kneel down to you."
The two of them laughed and joked with each other, as if they had only been apart for a few hours and there was no trace of strangeness at all.
"Didn't you say before that you wouldn't come to the capital? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"After arriving at Linzhou Prefecture, I heard the news that there were continuous heavy rains in the south of the Yangtze River, and I was afraid there would be a disaster. So, I had no choice but to change my route and go north, and finally come to the capital."
Nangong Jingzhi frowned. "I've heard that it's been raining in the south for days. Do you think there will be floods in the Jiangnan area?"
