Today, I still remember the miserable situation when Lu Ying, a married girl from the Lu family, came to her mother's home with her son in a shabby state...

Jinyue lowered her eyelids: Calculating the time, my cousin should have been about ten years old at that time... A ten-year-old girl encountered such a thing, but she never mentioned it to anyone later... It is not easy for my cousin to hide such a big thing in her heart.

…

Since she couldn't see Lu Yun, Luo Lingyu got an invitation to the tea party. This time was unusual, as the invitation was given to her by Chen Wang Liu Chu. Chen Wang Liu Chu wanted her to bring Zhou Lang into the circle, as he saw that she had a good relationship with Zhou Lang and that she was now well-known in the aristocratic circle of Jianye. Although Zhou Lang was born in a poor family, after knowing each other for a few months, Chen Wang admired Zhou Lang very much because he was a private schoolmaster and a book editor. Chen Wang could bring Zhou Lang into the court, but as for the aristocratic circle, Chen Wang himself didn't speak and didn't know anyone, and Lu Sanlang had long since left the circle and had no connections, so Chen Wang thought of Lu Sanlang's powerful cousin.

Luo Lingyu was very happy to lead Zhou Lang to make friends with the men and women.

She always had a good impression of Zhou Yangling, because he was the most gentle man she had ever met. Even if she didn't want to marry Zhou Lang, she hoped to do something for Zhou Yang. Your Highness Prince Chen was really worrying too much. For a man like Zhou Yang, why would Luo Lingyu be needed? Zhou Lang would definitely make everyone happy.

But on the day of the tea party, Luo Lingyu learned the reason why King Chen asked her to bring Zhou Lang. The southern country has good tea, and the tea party is to let the men and women build relationships under the name of tea tasting, tea selection and tea fighting. Luo Lingyu got along easily with these young ladies and men that day, and now she brought Zhou Yangling to introduce them. At first, everyone was normal when they saw the handsome man.

Until one of the gentlemen said with a half-smile, "Zhou Lang... I have heard something. Recently, a poor disciple came to Jianye to ask for an official position. King Chen did a lot of work to negotiate. Zhou Lang's name has been known to many people in Jianye for the past few months."

The atmosphere of the conversation was just right, but as soon as this young man finished speaking, the atmosphere became a little stagnant.

Luo Lingyu was puzzled: "What's going on?"

Zhou Yangling tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to say more. As soon as Luo Lingyu asked the question, the man who was speaking was frightened by her beauty and blushed on the spot. He couldn't say anything unpleasant in front of a beauty, but seeing Zhou Yangling following the beauty, he rolled his eyes at Zhou Yangling in dissatisfaction, spat, and turned away: "Humph, poor family!"

After Zhou Yangling pulled the angry-looking Luo Lingyu away and the two sat down, Zhou Yangling carefully explained to Luo Lingyu: "Sister Luo, don't you know the difference between the gentry and the common people? People from the gentry naturally look down on people from humble backgrounds. This is normal. Sister, don't be angry. Not everyone is as open-minded as you are and is willing to befriend me."

Luo Lingyu blushed immediately after hearing what she said: No... She also has a prejudice against family background. If she didn't, she would have found a way to marry Zhou Lang a long time ago.

However, in Zhou Yangling's eyes, her sister Luo is a little bit temperamental, but very lively and lovely girl. She would save a stranger when they first met, cry when Lian Qiniang couldn't dance, and climb mountains to have a talk with Mr. Wang. Luo Lingyu is an interesting person, at least she is on Zhou Yangling's side.

Luo Lingyu said ashamedly: "No, no, no..."

She did all these for a reason. She was not such a good person in Zhou Lang's eyes, but when Zhou Lang looked at her with a gentle smile... Luo Lingyu calmed down and smiled: "Yes, I am the sincere, kind and beautiful girl in Zhou Lang's eyes."

Zhou Yangling was amused by her: This was the first time I saw someone bragging about themselves so shamelessly.

Luo Lingyu made up her mind: "Don't be afraid, Zhou Lang. King Chen entrusted you to me, and I will live up to his trust. Don't think that these gentlemen and ladies look down on people from humble backgrounds, but there are also famous people who come from humble backgrounds. Chen Xiu was even a disciple of the famous scholar Zhou Tan, and it is well known that Zhou Tan also came from a humble background. As long as you have talent, these people can all stand out."

Zhou Yangling didn't care that much: "That's all King Chen's idea, I don't..."

Luo Lingyu was about to cry, and looked at her dimly: "Don't you believe me?"

Zhou Yangling: “Uh…”

Unable to bear seeing the beautiful girl cry, Zhou Yangling sighed and asked resignedly, "What do you want me to do?"

Luo Lingyu then laughed, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Let's take out your set of chimes and shake them. Humph, they haven't seen what court music is for many years... I want to let them know that the chimes used in the dance "Running to the Moon" were made for me by Zhou Lang."

Zhou Yangling thought for a moment, nodded, and said softly: "Sister, you only need to say that you asked me to help you, and you don't need to say that I rearranged the music. Sister, your reputation as the 'Goddess of Flowers' is unquestionable."

Luo Lingyu stared at the man in front of her for a long time. She didn't want to let people know that the most outstanding chimes in the dance music didn't belong to her. She didn't intend to tell everyone. She just wanted everyone to know Zhou Yangling. But Zhou Yangling took the initiative to do this, to help her... Luo Lingyu's eyes were red, she reached out, held her sleeve, and murmured: "My man, you are so good to me, I..."

I have no way to repay you, I really want to repay you with my body!

When Prince Chen felt uneasy and left the court affairs to see if Zhou Zibo was well taken care of by Luo Lingyu, he stood under the flowers and trees behind the lake in the garden and heard the solemn and magnificent sound of the chimes with his own ears. He stood on this side of the water and saw that the other side was surrounded by young men and women. The one surrounded in the middle was Zhou Zibo, whom Luo Lingyu had introduced to him. The girl and the man struck the chimes together, and the majestic rhythm vibrated under the hammer...

The crowd was watching, all with astonishment in their eyes, staring at Luo Lingyu and Zhou Yangling who were playing the chimes. Zhou was handsome, Luo was elegant, their eyes flickered, they were in perfect harmony, and everyone was praising them.

"I heard the chimes again... This gentleman can actually play the chimes?"

"Isn't this the music that Sister Luo played the other day? It turns out that Sister Luo has known Zhou Lang for a long time."

"Zhou Lang, you are a man of great talent."

Liu Chu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the young man intently. Sitting next to Luo Lingyu, he would take care of her quietly from time to time. When Luo Lingyu sometimes forgot about the music and looked at him secretly, he would naturally help her fill in the gaps.
