Chapter 268 Lu Zheng's Vigilance!
The days of the Qinhuai River Courtesan Competition are approaching!
There are more and more talented people in Jinling, including Biyun Pavilion, Haimiang Pavilion, Liancheng Pavilion, and Tianshui Pavilion.
The annual Courtesan Competition is a major event on the Qinhuai River, and this year's situation is even more special. First of all, next year, there will be many talented people gathered in Jinling. The chief examiner of the Zhili Provincial Examination is the romantic and unruly Lord Guo Songguo. The Courtesan Competition is said to be a warm-up for the provincial examination by good people!
In addition, new forces have been added to the Qinhuai River this year, and His Highness Pu’s Mirage Pavilion is no longer willing to be second. There are even rumors that the master behind the Mirage Pavilion has become His Highness the King of Qin.
This time, the dispute between Biyun Pavilion and Haixiong Pavilion became exciting. Li Qianqian, the newly emerging top girl in Haixiong Pavilion, is said to be as talented as Fan Duoduo, the top girl in Biyun Pavilion.
Who of these two beautiful women can become the number one courtesan in the Qinhuai River has long been looking forward to it!
For these reasons, the atmosphere has been hyped before the courtesan competition has begun. The Qinhuai River has been decorated with lights and colors, and the darkness is even more surging. The competition between various forces in the dark has already begun.
Biyun Pavilion is decorated with new inside and outside. The Gu family has resources from several provinces in Jiangnan and can be called a wealthy family in Jiangnan. Just from the style and pattern, Biyun Pavilion is the well-deserved first painting boat in the Qinhuai River.
The Biyun Pavilion is so big that it can be said to be a river that stretches across the entire river. The pleasure boats surrounding the Biyun Pavilion are as dense as a sea of clouds. From a distance, the pleasure boats are staggered in height, just like a beautiful city.
Duoduo's boudoir has also been redecorated. The azaleas in the roof garden are all grown from the greenhouse. It is already very cold, but Duoduo's yard is still full of azaleas, with a rich fragrance of flowers and a beautiful spring scenery.
Aunt Zhou personally helped Duoduo comb her hair today. In fact, combing her hair is just a cover, and talking about things is the key point: "Duoduo, I tell you, you must not take it lightly!
Li Qianqian is a woman with a deep scheming and has a big background behind her. She is determined to win this courtesan competition! Although the Gu family behind us is strong, the Gu family is just a family in Jiangnan after all, and the world is royal. Duoduo, tell me, can Li Qianqian underestimate it?"
"I know Aunt Zhou, Li Qianqian cannot be underestimated, but there are always people who don't take it seriously! Have Aunt Zhou heard of "Ding Fengbo"?
I changed my singing style yesterday, Aunt Zhou, listen..."
After Fan Duoduo finished speaking, he set off a tone and immediately sang: "Don't listen to the sound of leaves hitting through the forest, why not sing and walk slowly..."
Fan Duoduo's voice was very beautiful and he sang very enthusiastically, but Aunt Zhou frowned and said, "Duoduo, if you sing it again, Isn't it just a lyric? You sing this lyrics every day, and with this lyrics, you can win the first place in the courtesan competition?"
Fan Duoduo's lips curled up slightly and said, "It's so disappointing. I haven't finished singing this lyrics yet!" Fan Duoduo pursed his lips and suddenly became interested again, saying, "Aunt Zhou, have you heard that many people outside now say that King Pu's banquet that day, and Mr. Lu Zheng couldn't get out of the stage at the banquet. The scene at that time was very interesting.
The so-called genius young master of the Ruan family, Ruan Shaolin, wanted to save the beauty, and challenged Mr. Lu Zheng with the lyrics of "Ding Fengbo". As a result, Mr. Lu Zheng also responded to a song "Ding Fengbo". Although Ruan Shaolin was defeated, the banquet could not continue. Li Qianqian was so angry that she was almost vomiting blood!"
"Okay, Duoduo, don't ask about this news, okay? I've told you a long time ago that you asked Mr. Lu Zheng. In the current situation, your appearance and talent should be incomparable to Li Qianqian. If you want to compete for the best, you still have to rely on talent to learn.
Su Qing, Li Mu and others on Li Qianqian are all top talents in Jinling. Although the rookies hired by Mr. Gu are not talented but have good knowledge, their reputation is not as good as others after all.
Duoduo, if you can get the help of Mr. Lu Zheng..."
"Aunt Zhou, can you please stop talking about this topic? I have already said that I will never invite Mr. Lu to the courtesan competition. Mr. Lu is focused on next year's autumn examination. Time is tight. The courtesan competition is ultimately a matter of chaos. How can I invite him?" Fan Duoduo said.
When she spoke, she looked out the window and felt extremely admiration on her face. She could clearly remember the day of the Biyun Poetry Meeting, the "misunderstanding" between her and Lu Zheng, and Li Mu also had a misunderstanding of Lu Zheng because of her.
As a result, Lu Zheng wrote two poems that day, and these two poems have been circulated as classics of the Qinhuai River.
What made her most unforgettable was the banquet of King Pu that day. On the day of King Pu’s banquet, the entire Biyun Tower was in extreme depression, and Fan Duoduo’s intestines felt even more uncomfortable as if they were stained with dust.
Fan Duoduo's ears were filled with countless blame, and it was probably said that Fan Duoduo did not take action first to win over Lu Zheng to the Biyun Pavilion.
Now that Lu Zheng is being attracted by the Mirage Pavilion, with His Royal Highness Pu in the middle to coordinate, what is the result? Moreover, according to legend, Li Qianqian is also extremely talented, so how can Lu Zheng not be addicted to her beauty?
Others don’t mention it, just talk about Li Mu. How much did Li Mu like Fan Duoduo before? However, since Li Mu met Li Qianqian, he has never been to Biyun Pavilion again!
Nowadays, men are fickle. Not to mention that Lu Zheng has no feelings for Fan Duoduo at all, even Lu Zheng is like Li Mu and loves Fan Duoduo very much. With a banquet for King Pu, everything may have changed.
Once Lu Zheng turns to Li Qianqian, the attack on Biyun Pavilion and Fan Duoduo will be fatal.
Lu Zheng’s talent, it is hard to find a person who can compete with him in Jinling at the moment. There is no name among the seven talents in Jinling, but in everyone’s hearts, Lu Zheng’s talent is already above the seven talents!
Fan Duoduo also regretted it. She felt that she might have really missed the opportunity. She still clearly remembered the situation at that time. She was really living like a year, suffering and extremely desperate. That night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.
The next morning, news about the banquet of King Pu came over. There was no word about Lu Zheng in all the news. At that moment, Fan Duoduo felt that the whole world had turned from darkness to light again.
In the next few days, Lu Zheng's lyrics "Ding Fengbo" began to be sung on the Qinhuai River, and the story about "Ding Fengbo" began to be spread from various channels.
At that time, Fan Duoduo realized that an extremely wonderful story happened at the banquet of King Pu that day! At that time, all the talents gave Li Qianqian a gift, but Lu Zheng was indifferent and refused politely.
Lu Zheng's refusal angered many people, among which Ruan Shaolin jumped out and challenged Lu Zheng openly. Lu Zheng's lyrics "Ding Fengbo" were made in that situation!
Fan Duoduo has been inexplicably feeling good recently. She suddenly felt that Li Qianqian was not scary at all. Although Li Qianqian on the Qinhuai River has been praised to a very high position, Fan Duoduo still has inexplicable confidence.
She knew that almost all of her confidence came from Lu Zheng. Li Qianqian was not worth mentioning in Lu Zheng's eyes. How could Fan Duoduo regard her as her opponent?
Aunt Zhou didn't understand Fan Duoduo's thinking. Seeing that today's topic was dead again, she could only shake her head and see that the day of the courtesan competition was approaching. The anxiety made her sleepless all night, but she could not do anything about it.
...
The night was very deep, Lu Zheng was lying on the recliner, and Ying'er pinched his shoulders.
Since King Pu invited him, Lu Zheng kept his door to thank the guests after he went home. Of course, he knew everything that happened in Jinling recently. He could not ignore such an important matter as the Qinhuai River Courtesan Competition.
A courtesan competition can almost change the pattern of the entire Jiangnan. There have been countless bloody storms under the calm surface.
He chose to be a bystander and an outsider very smartly. He wanted to do his best to see the situation in Jiangnan more clearly.
By looking at Jiangnan, he needs to know more information. All of this information is precious to him and he can use it in the future.
"Young Master..." The boy stood in the dark and lowered his voice.
"Um!" Lu Zheng snorted softly: "Speak, I'll listen!"
The boy said, "In Jiangning, the second master personally arranged Uncle Biao's marriage, and Uncle Biao's new wife will be leaving the house in just a few days! Aunt Qi has received the approval of the old man and has returned to her parents' home to Uncle Zhang Luo Biao's marriage!"
Lu Zheng's smile appeared on his face and said, "Give another thousand taels of silver to my uncle and ask him to do the wedding more decent. When you look back, tell him that I will definitely go to drink his wedding!"
The boy said again: "There is an old man in white beside Li Qianqian. His name is Zhongfuming. It is said that he has studied Yin-Yang power and conspiracy throughout his life, and is an extremely difficult character to deal with.
His Highness Qin has spent a huge price to invite him. This time, this person is the one who helps Li Qianqian control the situation!"
"Zhongfuming?" Lu Zheng suddenly sat up from the chair: "The people from Zhongfu's family?"
"Boy, you have to focus on this person for me! Use all resources to search for this person's information! The people from Zhongfu's family are very good. If this person is an enemy of us, he will definitely be a great enemy!"
Lu Zheng stood up, carried his hands on his back and began to pace the room. The Zhongfu family that Mr. Yan repeatedly mentioned repeatedly was a family that inherited Yin-Yang studies and power and ingenuity. It was very mysterious. Mr. Yan repeatedly reminded Lu Zheng that he would not provoke people from the Zhongfu family unless he had no choice.
Lu Zheng didn't care at that time. He never expected that a man named Zhong Fuming suddenly appeared in Jinling, and this person was also mixed with Duanmu Wanrong.
"Young Master, we are not enemies with Mirage Pavilion now, you..."
"What do you know? From the moment I left the Mirage Pavilion, they regarded me as an enemy in their hearts! Zhongfuming is definitely not a good person, he will definitely use means..."
