Chapter 654: Many fake smiles in front of you, but all the sneers behind you

Xu Zhihu lived in the Freehand Garden in the northwest corner. The courtyard was not small, but the number of maids was pitiful, and it was a little deserted. The Fengzi camp was arranged in two courtyards not far apart. At the gate of the courtyard, Lu Baijie bowed again before leaving. go.

After entering the courtyard, Xu Zhihu asked his personal maid Erqiao to bring some iced plum soup. After sitting down, he asked: "What happened on the road?"

Only then did the blue bird truthfully report everything that happened in the reed marsh.

The blue bird spoke in a calm tone, but the thrills involved cannot be described as simple twists and turns!

Xu Zhihu's expression fluctuated as Qingniao explained. When he finally heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was safe and sound, he held his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Zhihu turned to look at Pei Nanwei, who had not been able to sit down yet, with strange eyes. Her lawless brother was really promising. He had become more capable. Even Princess Jing'an dared to rob him!

But this is not an important matter. In Xu Zhihu's eyes, even if his brother does something outrageous and absurd, it is not something out of the ordinary.

Xu Zhihu looked at Xu Zongjia at this time, her eyes were flowing and radiant, making people dare not look directly at her. She had been curious about Xu Zongjia's identity just now, and now after hearing the story of Xu Fengnian's turmoil, she naturally Wanting to answer the doubts in his heart, he bowed to Xu Zongjia and asked softly.

"I don't know what to call this gentleman. Zhihu has never seen him in the house. He was just a little too worried about his brother's safety, so I am meeting him now. It is really rude. Please forgive me!"

Xu Zongjia's eyesight is pure and clear. He has seen countless beautiful women in his many lives. What's more, every one of his wives is extremely beautiful, especially Qingqiu Baiqian. Known as the most beautiful woman in the world, Xu Zongjia was not rude, he just returned the salute lightly before speaking.

"I am just a casual scholar in Beiliang Prince's Mansion. I only entered Beiliang Prince's Mansion last year. On weekdays, I just study in Tingchao Pavilion when I have nothing to do. I am very idle. How dare I trouble the princess to be so polite!"

When Xu Zhihu heard the words "Tingchao Pavilion", his eyes were thoughtful. She was the princess of Beiliang Prince's Palace. How could she not know the importance of Tingchao Pavilion? Master, only Li Yishan can walk around the Tingchao Pavilion at will. The handsome man in front of him, who looks no older than his age, can actually let Xu Xiao open the Tingchao Pavilion to him. He is definitely an unparalleled national scholar that Xu Xiao attaches great importance to.

Seeing that Xu Zongjia was so humble, Qingniao was worried that Xu Zhihu didn't know the details of Xu Zongjia and had neglected Xu Zongjia, so he quickly explained.

"Miss, this is Mr. Xu Zongjia, the prince's guest. The prince respects him very much. Thanks to the protection of Mr. Xu and Senior Li, the prince has no danger!"

Xu Zhihu reached out his hand to stop Qingniao from continuing. She is also a smart woman, so she naturally knows what Qingniao means. Naturally, she will not neglect Xu Zongjia. However, if Qingniao continues to talk, it will be a bit overwhelming, and she needs herself as the master. You can show more sincerity by asking in person.

Xu Zhihu stood up again, bowed slightly and thanked him.

"My younger brother has always been a troublemaker since he was a child. He must have caused trouble to you two along the way. If you have troubled me sir and senior, Zhihu would like to express my gratitude to you two on behalf of my younger brother!"

Xu Zongjia raised his hand slightly to show politeness, but did not shy away and accepted the gift calmly.

Li Chungang said angrily because his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

"That brother of yours is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is simply a troublemaker. He even dares to rob other people's princesses!"

Li Chungang glanced at the silent Pei Nanwei. He was complaining for his young apprentice Jiang Ni. Since Pei Nanwei followed everyone, Jiang Ni has been unhappy every day. Even his favorite activity of studying and making money has been lost. No longer enthusiastic. Although Li Chungang didn't like Jiang Ni every day for reading to Xu Fengnian for a few taels of silver, and felt that it was beneath his status as a disciple of the Sword God, but he couldn't help but like the little maid. Now Jiang Ni really She quit her job and was unhappy all day long, which made Li Chungang quite unhappy. Instead, she hoped that the little maid could go to study for Xu Fengnian again for a few taels of silver.

Xu Zhihu smiled awkwardly and pretended to turn a deaf ear. After sitting down, he continued to chat with Xu Zongjia. He showed off the demeanor of a well-known lady. There was no hint of the dissolute and shameless style rumored in Jiangnan Dao. It made people feel comfortable and like a spring breeze. This shows that Xu Zhihu is far from being as useless as he seems.

The reason why Xu Zhihu's life in Jiangnan Dao was so messy was due to the following reasons. First, her husband Lu Qinquan died before she got married, leaving her with the reputation of being a hard-charging husband. Became a pretty widow.

The second is that Xu Zhihu did not keep a low profile, but deliberately acted boldly. He dressed up every day and often went to famous mountains and temples to listen to debates by celebrities. She was slandered and criticized. She didn't even care. She just liked to watch. Those self-proclaimed romantic celebrities, Junyan, were as excited as chicken blood when they saw him sitting at the table. Therefore, when he was slapped by his wife named Liu in Baoguo Temple, she just smiled. God knows who pitied whom.

Thirdly, Xu Zhihu’s parents-in-law also deliberately ruined Xu Zhihu’s reputation behind the scenes in order to vent their dissatisfaction with Xu Zhihu. However, Xu Zhihu still went her own way and did not change her original intention. She behaved as a daughter-in-law should. She still did a good job of etiquette, but her heart was full of disdain for her parents-in-law.

The last point is that Xu Zhihu is Xu Xiao's daughter after all. Xu Xiao's horse riding in the Spring and Autumn Period made the whole world silent and offended the scholars all over the world. In addition, Xu Zhihu is quite beautiful and is a natural beauty. , there were many disputes in front of the widow's house, and those scholars who had no balls did not dare to curse Xu Xiao, so they could only talk about Xu Zhihu's rumors to satisfy their needs.

The whole afternoon to dusk was calm in the Freehand Garden. Xu Zhihu was asking several women about Xu Fengnian, and he especially liked to hear embarrassing stories. Xu Zhihu didn't care at all about the turmoil in Lu's family.

After dinner, Lu Baijie's bookboy came to knock on the door politely. The door was opened by the maid Er Qiao. For some reason, the two peers looked very different, which seemed to mean that they were not enemies.

The book boy said coldly and bluntly: "My master wants to see your young lady."

The atmosphere was already weird, but after these words were spoken, the atmosphere became even colder.

Er Qiao snorted coldly, said "I know" and turned around to leave.

Looking at her back, the book boy secretly showed a trace of annoyance.

Lu Baijie, who was sitting in the pavilion by the lake, smiled slightly and said, "Young people know what it feels like to be sad."

Xu Zhihu walked out of the garden, came to the pavilion and sat down, feeling guilty.

"This time I caused trouble for my uncle."

Lu Jianxian, who looked quite like a celebrity, shook his head and said calmly.

"It's not trouble. It's just that it will make it harder for you to behave in the Lu Mansion in the future."

Xu Zhihu didn't care and said without caring.

"This is nothing. It's just that they smile more fakely in front of me and smile colder behind me."
