“But Beibei, you can’t say that. You two are just two different types.” Sheng Jingchen shook his head. “Moreover, because he almost never appears in front of the world, his appearance is so stunning.”
Shen Bei'an's face was alluring yet not seductive, and her captivating peach blossom eyes appeared even more pure because of her kind heart.
Wei Shengxi's appearance is alluring and captivating, her mesmerizing fox-like eyes even more alluring because of her temperament. She can draw people in without them even moving.
Therefore, upon first meeting Wei Shengxi, one cannot help but fall into those seemingly tender yet clear eyes.
Shen Bei'an could only say that this was indeed a world of novels, there were so many beauties!
So far, he really hasn't seen an ugly one.
As mentioned before, once Wei Shengxi arrived, the wedding banquet immediately began.
The food is served.
Shen Beian asked with great interest, "There should be dessert after the meal, right?"
“Of course there are,” Ye Lin nodded. She had taken a look earlier and they were all good. “But Bei Bei, I’m afraid you can’t eat too much, right?” She raised an eyebrow at Shen Bei’an.
Baiweiju's culinary skills are beyond question, and since this was originally a wedding banquet, the main focus was on eating, in addition to watching the performances.
"She's not here, so it doesn't matter." Shen Bei'an pouted, picked up a piece of sunflower-shaped minced pork, which was soft and tender, and not greasy.
Delicious!
Sheng Jingchen poured tea for Shen Beian and quietly said, "Young Master Fu, Young Master Fu and the eldest son are good friends."
Shen Bei'an was taken aback. He looked up and saw a young man sitting at a small table behind the screen nodding slightly to him.
The hand that was about to pick up the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish turned around and picked up a piece of broccoli instead, putting it in its mouth.
She thought to herself: "That bastard Gu Nanyan, didn't he say he didn't have many friends? Why does it feel like he has her spies everywhere?"
So my plan to have a good meal tonight is off the table again.
"Brother Chen, tell me the truth, how many friends does A-Yan actually have in the capital? It seems like they're everywhere," Shen Bei'an asked quietly.
Sheng Jingchen returned a gentle smile, "That's more or less true. Does Beibei know that there's a Jingning Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing?"
Shen Bei'an nodded, "I understand."
Jingning Mountain isn't very high, but it boasts beautiful scenery. Although it's in the suburbs, it's not far from the city center. As a result, it's a popular weekend destination for many people.
“There is an elite academy on Jingning Mountain,” Sheng Jingchen said, his eyes slightly lowered, his tone unchanged. “The headmaster of the academy is an old Taoist priest. According to the established rules, anyone who has not yet reached adulthood and meets his requirements can enter the academy. The eldest son, Young Master Fu, Young Master Hua, Young Master Ziya, and others are all scholars in the academy. They are classmates, so their relationship is naturally quite close.”
The students at that academy were different from those elsewhere.
"So Young Master Fu and Young Master Ziya know each other?!" It seems like these two have absolutely no connection.
One was a wine maker, the other a medical student.
“Of course we know each other, we’re good friends.” Ye Lin chewed on a piece of squirrel-shaped mandarin fish. “My husband also graduated from that college, and they all know each other and are good friends. It’s just that some of them are closer.”
Of course, there are also those who respond in kind.
We were classmates after all.
"It's a pity I didn't know this before I was twenty, let alone had ever been there." Shen Bei'an shook his head helplessly and went to pick up other dishes.
Ye Lin spoke frankly, "Beibei, it's not that I'm being blunt, it's just the truth. Brother Chen went there once, there were nine levels in total, and he only managed to get to the fourth one."
Shen Bei'an looked at Sheng Jingchen in surprise, only to see Sheng Jingchen holding a wine glass and taking a sip, "Once young and in a thin blue robe, I took a step up to Jingning, drinking fine wine, only to be defeated by the weeping willows."
Sheng Jingchen is the second son of the eldest branch of the Sheng family. Although he appears to be worldly and entertaining, the expectations placed on him by his family are self-evident.
This is especially true when choosing the character "琛" for a name.
Nine levels, and I barely made it to the fourth level.
It is conceivable
"It seems that no one from the Wei family has ever been there, but I know..." Ye Lin had quite a few inside stories, "The fifth madam of the Wei family, who is also the aunt of the young master and eldest son of the Wei family, seems to have gone there before, but I don't know how. Moreover, this fifth madam of the Wei family has become a taboo in the Wei family, and almost no one mentions her."
The three of them were gossiping.
"How are you feeling now?" Because of Wei Shengxi's special condition, a screen was specially placed behind him to separate him from the others. Only Fu Muqian sat next to him and poured him a cup of warm water. He didn't dare to let him drink tea, let alone wine.
The frail beauty had slender fingers as she held the jade cup, took a small sip, and held the hand warmer in her other hand. Her eyes and brows were full of charm as she spoke, "The same as always." Her voice was as clear and melodious as the clinking of jade pendants.
With her eyes lowered and a few strands of silver hair falling across her chest, she appeared even more frail.
Men in the empire had varying hair lengths, depending on their personal mood.
During their studies, boys with long hair often adopted the hairstyles of ancient times, or tied them up like girls.
When the girls were in school, their hairstyles were not too complicated.
It is not uncommon for young men in the capital to have long hair.
“How can you still be the same? I went to the He Shou Wu Research Institute to look for Ice Face. That fifth-generation cell repair device is no exaggeration. It’s not a problem to cure your albinism, and it should also help with your cold constitution. Besides, you’ve been taking herbal decoctions all these years. How can you still be the same as before?” Fu Muqian said anxiously.
Almost no one has ever seen the young master of Weisheng, but they were once classmates.
How could I not have seen it before?
Wei Shengxi smiled as her eyes curved, but with this slight movement, she couldn't help but cough lightly, and Fu Muqian quickly helped her up.
"It's been a long time since I've seen him. How come Taibai's personality is somewhat similar to that of a proud and arrogant person?"
Fu Muqian scoffed coldly, but with a hint of amusement, "I can't help it, you sickly beauty. Your own medical skills are quite good. Even without that cell repair device, you wouldn't be in this state." His tone grew increasingly cold.
