Xu Qingnian did not know who Yongping Shizi was.
However, Xu Qingnian knew who the Prince of Yongping was.
If there had not been the shame of Jingcheng, there was a high probability that Yongping’s father would have been the emperor.
It was a pity that after the Shame of Jingkang, the Great Wei no longer needed an Emperor of Wenjing, but a great Emperor of Martial Expedition.
So the county prince’s father, lost the supreme imperial throne.
As to why this Prince was able to endure, it has always been a mystery, perhaps open-minded.
But when the Sheriff King was mentioned, Xu Qingnian’s first a*sociation was not with the Shizi, but with the Sheriff.
The person who had entered the dream yesterday seemed to call himself the Sheriff, right?
“Is the Sheriff King here?”
After thinking about it, Xu Qingnian spoke first and asked.
“Sheriff Lord Yongping? These two came to the South Yufu some days ago, on a trip to the greenery, and happened to pa*s by, and now they have learned of Brother Qingnian’s great name, so they want to meet.”
“Brother Qingnian, Yongping Shizi is as gentle as a jade and also a scholar, plus his royal status will be helpful to Brother Qingnian in the future, so my humble brother thinks that we can meet.”
Li Xin did not understand Xu Qingnian’s meaning and replied in a rather archaic manner.
“How does County Princess Yongping look like?”
Xu Qingnian asked.
“Uh …… The beauty of the county princess is definitely stunning, after all, the Yongping County King would definitely not look for an ordinary woman.”
Li Xin was a little embarra*sed, he hadn’t seen County Lord Yongping before, he didn’t know if it was good looking or not.
But think about it differently, if he were the county king, he would certainly be surrounded by beautiful women, and the child he would have would naturally not be ugly.
Whether they were pretty or not was another matter, but one could not say they were not pretty anyway.
Li Xin’s answer made Xu Qingnian also a little helpless, indeed the descendants of the royal family were certainly not bad looking, the first generation of the fund was even worse, and generation after generation was pa*sed on.
How bad could it be?
“Brother Qingnian, shall we meet or not meet?”
Li Xin asked.
“See you.”
Xu Qingnian gave his answer, Yongping Shizi, well at least he was the eldest son of a county king, if he didn’t see him wouldn’t he get into trouble for no reason?
“That’s fine, the Yongping Shizi has already booked an elegant room at the Moon Watch Tower, let’s go together.”
Li Xin smiled.
In fact, he had already known that Prince Yongping was coming, and he had even said that he would come to his banquet before, but in the end he didn’t come, for reasons he knew in his heart, and it was just a polite remark that he took seriously.
But now the Yongping Prince has taken the initiative to invite Xu Qingnian, this status is different.
“I’m not going to see Prince Yongping, some friends are still waiting for me, I’m going to Wenxuan House.”
It was not that he really did not want to meet the Prince of Yongping, after the County King, it would be good for him to make any kind of connection.
However, Wang Ru understood that he was only inviting Xu Qingnian, so maybe Li Xin was also just going to go there in pa*sing.
It would be a bit of a hard sell to drag himself along again.
It would be better to go to the Wenxuan Building to have fun and be at ease.
“That’s fine, brother Wang Ru, I’ll come find you after the banquet.”
Li Xin said, we all understood each other, so a few polite words would be fine.
Xu Qingnian nodded and didn’t say anything, so he followed Li Xin and left.
The three of them went their separate ways.
This was the difference between status and position.
As one’s status continued to rise, the circles one entered would also gradually change.
Half a month ago, he himself wanted to fit into Wang Ru’s circle, while Wang Ru wanted to fit into Li Xin’s circle, and Li Xin wanted to fit into Yongping Shizi’s circle.
Half a month later, however, Yongping Shizi took the initiative to invite himself.
What Wang Ru did, Xu Qingnian felt quite good, at least forcing himself to fit in, instead of being uncomfortable, if he were Wang Ru, he would have made the same choice.
There was no need to feel so much emotion.
Xu Qingnian followed Li Xin on foot.
About a quarter of an hour later.
He arrived in front of a restaurant.
The Moon Watching Tower was a famous restaurant in South Yu Province. On top of the restaurant stood a jade stone that looked like the moon, and whenever night fell, the stone would emit a faint silver light, so it was called the Moon Watching Tower.
When he entered the Moon Watch Tower, the waiter immediately greeted him warmly, especially after seeing Li Xin, he looked flattering.
Li Xin had nothing to say, he casually threw a piece of silver as a reward money, said the name of the elegant room, and the junior immediately led them upstairs with enthusiasm.
There were four floors in the Moonlight Tower.
The first and first floors are for ordinary people to dine.
The third floor was for the old employers of the Moonlight Tower.
The fourth floor could only be reserved by some of the more distinguished people in the South Yu Mansion.
The elegant room where Yongping Shizi was located was on the fourth floor.
Compared to the first and first floors, the fourth floor was very quiet, with sandalwood incense placed in many places and some women playing the zither, making it look very elegant.
Follow the junior to the front.
He soon arrived inside one of the elegant rooms.
[Meditation Pavilion]
When I pushed open the door of the elegant room, I was greeted by the delicacies, but there were not many dishes, only four.
Inside the elegant room, a man in a light green brocade coat sat in it, and a woman, wearing a long light red coat, stood outside the window with her back to herself.
The man was in his early twenties, similar to his own age, with clear eyebrows and a refined and easy-going manner, aristocratic while not losing his elegance, and also surrounded by a vast aura of righteousness, a Confucian scholar who had entered the cla*s.
Clearly this is the Prince of Yongping.
The woman could not see her face, but could only look at her back, her figure was exquisite, and just a back was reminiscent, especially because she looked inexplicably familiar.
With the door of the room opened.
Yongping Shizi instantly cast his gaze and landed directly on Xu Qingnian.
With just a glance, Yongping Shizi immediately got up, full of smiles.
“This is Xu Qingnian, Xu Wangu, right? I, Mu Nanping, have met Mr. Xu.”
Yongping Shizi Mu Nanping was very joyful and even a little excited as he came from his seat and saluted in person.
“You are welcome, Shizi, Brother Mu is the son of the County King, calling Mister Xu as sir is somewhat unworthy.”
Xu Qingnian also immediately returned the salute.
“No, I am also a scholar, I have entered the rank, the name of Shishu is just the glory of my father’s generation, but you have already advanced to the eighth rank, and you have written a great article, you are the admiration of my generation of readers.”
“The word “sir” is worthy of the title, worthy of the title.”
Mu Nanping was extraordinarily excited and seemed to have an inexplicable fondness for Xu Qingnian.
“Shizi is more than polite.”
Xu Qingnian continued to speak, the other party calling himself sir was really a bit heavy-handed.
“No, no.”
“You are only twenty this evening, you have been enrolled in school for less than a month, yet you have been able to advance in rank, you have a thousand famous words in the past, and you have a thousand ancient articles in the future, how can you not deserve the title of sir?”
Mu Nanping said with a persistent face.
“I am not worthy of the word “sir” because of my average talent.”
Xu Qingnian’s words were half polite and half serious.
There was definitely an element of courtesy, and Mu Nanping was definitely polite, but the remaining half was serious.
After all, if you could be called a gentleman, not only did you have talent, but more importantly you had to have virtue and character to be expected.
The same is true for other scholars who call themselves “sir”, Xu Qingnian would just acknowledge it, knowing that it was an honorific.
But if Yongping Shizi called himself sir, it would be bad if he took it for granted.
“The two of you should not be stagnant.”
“Since we are all the same age, let’s be more casual and address each other as brother.”
Li Xin on the side rounded up the situation, everyone was polite to each other, you pushed me, it was almost the same.
“If Mr Xu doesn’t mind, I’ll be a taller brother.”
Yongping Shizi nodded, but remained modest as ever.
“The Shizi is slightly younger than me, so I am the one who has climbed higher than my Xiandi.”
Xu Qingnian returned the compliment.
“Haha, Brother Xu is indeed as gentle as jade and a modest gentleman, come, come, come, have a seat, Brother Li, you sit too.”
Yongping Shizi was worthy of the Beijing circle, being a man of words was simply dripping with water, making people comfortable without making them feel cosseted.
Xu Qingnian and Li Xin took their seats.
And at this moment, Yongping Shizi’s gaze fell on the woman outside the window.
He frowned slightly and could not help but speak.
“Sister, the guests are all here, and you are still standing outside the window without a bit of etiquette.”
Mu Nanping’s voice rang out, angrily scolding his sister, while immediately changing his face again and looking at the two of them, Xu Qingnian.
“You two are really laughing, this younger sister of mine has been spoiled by my father since she was young, she doesn’t know manners and is capricious and presumptuous, so I hope you two will forgive me if I have been inconsiderate.”
Mu Nanping was really a little unpleasant.
He had read the books of the saints and regarded Zhu Sheng as the ultimate ideal in life since he was young.
However, he had such a willful and presumptuous sister who did not show any courtesy outside and often made him half dead.
But he could not help it, his father spoiled his sister too much and could not beat or scold her.
When he was leaving, Mu Nanping vaguely remembered his father’s explanation that he had to keep an eye on his sister no matter what.
So when he came to see Xu Qingnian, he had to bring her with him.
“If you’re here, you’re here. You guys eat what you want, I’ll watch what I want.”
A pleasant, melodious voice rang out.
The tone seemed very casual, standing outside the window not knowing what she was looking at.
Bang.
The next moment, Mu Nanping was a little angry, he slapped the table, the sound wasn’t very loud, not really hard, it just made a little rattle.
“Mu Nan Lime!”
“If you are so insolent, don’t blame my brother for grounding you, my brother is true to his word.”
Mu Nanping got a little huffy.
It’s fine to fool around during the day, but now that Xu Qingnian is here, you don’t even give your brother any face?
Do you really think I don’t have a temper?
Mu Nanping thought in his mind.
“Spoilsport.”
A pleasant voice rang out again.
At that moment, the delicately shaped woman turned around.
Mu Nan lei slowly turned around.
Three thousand green threads were bound in her hair with a wooden hairpin, and her exquisite and incomparable features appeared in Xu Qingnian and Li Xin’s eyes.
The fairy-like face was deeply imprinted in Li Xin’s heart in this instant.
The two of them froze for a moment.
Li Xin froze because he had never seen such a stunningly beautiful person before.
Xu Qingnian froze because …… This world is really big, oh, no, it is really small.
The beauty of Mu Nan Lime, full of a spiritual beauty, beautiful eyes flashing between, both some cute, but also some spiritual, but when the wooden hairpin bundle hair, but also slightly seems to be a different kind of beauty.
This kind of beauty, it is impossible to say.
But just one glance.
It is a beauty that one will never forget.
A moment.
The scene quieted down.
However, Mu Nan Lime’s gaze, too, fell on Xu Qingnian.
