"Both of us have no parents to protect us... Sanlang, don't you feel any sympathy for Madam Luo? Madam Luo is not as good as you were back then... After all, you are of the orthodox Lu family bloodline, but Madam Luo has nothing in our family."

"My dear, my dear..."

Lu Yun: "What about calling the soul?"

Jinyue's face turned red, she blinked and looked at Sanlang expectantly.

After a long while, Lu Yun curled his lips and said, "Go find out what happened to her little banquet."

With Sanlang's support, Jinyue immediately showed joy, responded and went out to ask someone to go to "Xuesuyuan" to inquire about the situation. After returning, Jinyue stood on tiptoe at the window of the corridor and looked at Lu Sanlang who was still calmly flipping through a book in the room. She thought Sanlang was used to it, but as long as she found clothes for Sanlang to go out, Sanlang would definitely go out in a while.

Thanks to Luo Lingyu's usual "scheming", she was able to cast a good spell on Jinyue.

Jin Yue turned around and was about to go to the compartment to prepare San Lang's robes, when she suddenly took a deep breath and saw the young man in the cloak standing in the yard. Jin Yue was speechless: "Sir, Sir, why are you here? Why didn't you let me know?"

The young man had a delicate face and stood in the courtyard. The servants lowered their heads in fear and dared not look. He didn't know how long they stood there and watched. The young man saw Jinyue and said a few words softly: "Sanlang, I am sick. Come and see me."

He spoke softly and slowly, using few words.

Jinyue led him in to meet someone——

This is the fifth son of the current Southern Kingdom's Majesty, Prince Chen Liu Chu (pronounced the same as Chu). He is also the son that Lu Erlang Lu Xian does not like Sanlang to be friends with.

The reason why Liu Chu spoke so little was not for any other reason, but because this young man was a stutterer.

Chapter 12

At night, sheep-horn lanterns and red gauze lanterns were hung under the window sills. When the wind blew, the lights mixed with the sound of the iron horses colliding, making a clanging sound. Through several green and moon-colored curtains, the sound of music and the laughter of men and women inside followed the seams of the curtains and floated out.

The banquet was set up, and the servants and maids were waiting outside. The sound of the stringed instruments in the room was not played by the musicians, but by the noble men and women in the room. The noble men and women of this era were talented and considered it "elegant" to play the music they composed. The music was not allowed to be watched by the servants, but they appreciated and evaluated each other for fun.

Besides the musicians, there were also people playing pot-tossing and cover-shooting, painting, talking about poetry, playing double-sixes and playing go. The young men and women were either sitting or standing, either together or alone, all enjoying themselves.

The Han daughter returned home and a banquet was held to see her off. The men and women had a great time that night. The Han daughter talked to Lady Wang for a few words, and the topic turned to Luo Lingyu. The two women unconsciously scanned the figure of the girl in the crowd. When they saw a brocade chessboard on a table, Luo daughter and another girl sat opposite each other, with a white elephant and a black rhinoceros in their hands. Perhaps because the chess game was exciting, there were quite a few men and women standing by to watch.

Luo Lingyu's eyebrows were slightly lowered, her hair was tied up, and the soft light of the lamp fell on her body.

The eyes of the Lu family gentlemen and the attention of the girls around her were all on her.

Han's daughter said with a slightly sour tone: "This sister Luo is beautiful, but she knows too many things."

The daughter of the Wang family said with mixed feelings: "I heard that she was born in Ruyang, and her family was once a wealthy family. Ruyang is close to the North Country, and the skills of the Northern nobles have always been better than those of our South Country. I think she must have learned a lot when she was young. We are not as good as her."

The trend of extravagance in the South gradually took shape after the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, in terms of the foundation of the aristocracy, the South could not compare with the North. However, in recent years, as the trend of extravagance prevailed, the foundation of the aristocratic families in the South who built the business has gradually caught up with the North, and is even steadily surpassing the North.

The Han daughter said sourly, "Yes, I am not as good as her. She has only shown her charm in the Lu family today, and has already made the gentlemen fascinated. It's because the Lu family has no girls, so few people go out to play... Otherwise, if she left the Lu family and filled Jianye, it wouldn't be long before the Luo daughter's good name would spread."

"Could it be possible that a lady from a noble family in Jianye would lose to a country bumpkin?"

Wang's daughter was slightly absent-minded and said, "Mrs. Chen from the residence of Mr. Chen may be able to compete with this girl."

Hearing what Wang said, Han's mind conjured up a figure of a young lady. She curled her lips and turned her head away in displeasure. Mrs. Chen from Chen Daru's house... She thought to herself that Lu Sanlang was so charming, and Mrs. Chen had clearly admired cousin Lu Yun for many years, but she still pretended to be noble and looked down on them, the cousins ​​living in Lu's house, as if she was waiting for cousin Lu Yun to come over and please her. How could it be possible for the third cousin?

Instead of choosing Madam Chen, I might as well choose this... Luo Lingyu, whose face says "I just want to defeat you all".

Figures overlapped, the shadows of men and women intertwined, and gentlemen like Lu Erlang and Lu Xian stood behind Luo Lingyu at this time, watching Luo Lingyu play chess. Lu Erlang's eyes flickered, and he cast a look of surprise at Luo Lingyu. Lu Xian was very quiet and liked to collect famous chess games in the world. He could see that Luo Lingyu's chess was not about how amazing and brilliant she was, but that she had a lot of ideas in her mind and obviously had her own layout...

Judging people by their chess skills, Lu Xian pondered: This cousin seems to have a lot on her mind...

Luo Lingyu, who was being watched by Lu Xian, twisted Bai Zi in his hands, smiling at the corner of his lips, but actually felt a little bitter in his heart. She hesitated in her heart, thinking about what Lu Sanlang said to her before, which made her sway back and forth. She wondered whether she should hide her clumsiness and not get too much limelight. However, the girl from the other family had time to hide her clumsiness and slowly run the business in the Lu family... Where did she get the time? She didn't expect that Jianye's famous family could spend money like this. She couldn't even hold on for half a year.

If she can't marry a man of good family within six months, her and her sister's life will be miserable.

While playing chess, Luo Lingyu was absentmindedly thinking: Should she secretly ask her maid to sell the gifts she received in exchange for some money? But the items she used were all affordable for the rich and powerful, so how could ordinary people use them? If she failed to sell them well and someone discovered her predicament, how could she still have the face to stay in the Lu family?

So annoying.

Luo Lingyu frowned: It’s all Lu Sanlang’s fault.
