The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 63 63. Bookboy

"Okay, don't worry. With my fourth uncle and cousin here, who dares to touch me? Even if it doesn't work, won't the second brother go? With him here, who dares to cause trouble with the Feng family, don't you think?"

As soon as he said this, Yun Xu relaxed his little face. The second young master of their family was a ruthless man. Anyone who dared to offend him was probably not born yet or had already been reincarnated as a human being.

 Only then did he send Feng Jinyao out with peace of mind.

Getting on the carriage, only Uncle Bai and Bai Siruo were sitting inside.

Uncle Bai looked helpless, but Bai Siruo was full of excitement, pulling her and talking non-stop.

“Hey, I really fell into this girl’s trap and insisted on joining in the fun.”

Uncle Bai had no time to regret it at this moment. Looking at the two little book boys in front of him, he was really afraid that others would suspect that he had some other hobbies, and he felt miserable for a while.

Bai Siruo was bolder, "Father, don't worry, we promise not to say anything but to say nothing, and no one will discover our identities."

"Thank you for remembering it, but don't forget it. You can't be negligent for a moment, you know?"

 “Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”

The carriage headed in the direction of Changchun Tower, stopping in front of the door just in time for two cups of tea.

As soon as the restaurant owner saw the word "白" on the carriage, he immediately understood that it was Fourth Master Bai's carriage, and he immediately greeted him with a smile.

“Master came early, and the other academicians have not arrived yet, but everything is ready in Dengyun Pavilion. Would you like to go directly and take a look, or go to Yajie to rest for a while?”

 “Let’s go to Dengyun Pavilion.”

As a junior, it is appropriate for him to go and wait for the other three academicians.

"yes."

 The shopkeeper respectfully greeted the three of them into Dengyun Pavilion.

Dengyun Pavilion has the same name. As soon as you enter the building, there is a cloud-patterned ladder that goes straight up. It is made of yellow pear wood. It is thick but has a rich heritage. The pattern of a carp leaping over a dragon gate is carved on it, which has a very good meaning.

There are thirty-six steps in total, like a road to the clouds, with plain curtains hanging around it, making it look elegant and out of the ordinary.

After getting up to the attic, I saw at a glance all the masterpieces by famous artists. Even people like Bai Chaohe, who came from an aristocratic family and had seen many masterpieces in Yunqi Academy for a long time, were slightly stunned.

 It can be seen that Dengyun Pavilion was built with a lot of money, and it was nothing more than buying these unique masterpieces.

Three steps for furnishings, five steps for treasures, which allowed Bai Siruo and Feng Jinyao to see what the preferences of literati and elegant guests were.

 Huizhou’s ink, Yuzhou’s paper, Xuanzhou’s pens, and Wanzhou’s shelves are all the best among the best.

Bai Chaohe looked at the noble-dressed shopkeeper. It was obvious that this place would never be furnished by a layman like him, so he asked curiously, "Is there only one shopkeeper in Changchun Tower?"

“Master has promoted me, and the younger one is just a steward. This Dengyun Pavilion was also decorated by my master’s personal order.”

This is not surprising. The business in Dongdu City is naturally inextricably linked with the powerful people. It’s just that if ordinary people don’t take the initiative to mention it, no one will know who is behind it.

Bai Chaohe was not the one who wanted to get to the bottom of things. He just said lightly, "Your master has good taste." He didn't say much more.

The shopkeeper is also a good person. After serving the good tea, he excused himself and left, leaving the three of them to enjoy the tea.

Bai Siruo has never been interested in calligraphy and painting, but Feng Jinyao's eyes lit up when she saw a picture of "An Old Farmer Enjoying the Coolness Under the Bananas". In her previous life, she had seen this picture in Wen Mengsheng's study and heard him say that it was made by the wise monk from the previous dynasty.

This great monk was a famous wandering monk. Although he was ordained, he did not stick to the monastery to adhere to the Buddha. Instead, he traveled all over the great rivers and mountains. He also liked farming and left many masterpieces.

It is a pity that the previous emperor was bewitched and insisted on arresting and killing the great monk, and burned countless of his paintings. Today, no more than ten authentic paintings have been handed down.

There is this authentic relic in Dengyun Pavilion, and the people behind it are really powerful.

Feng Jinyao looked at the painting in a trance. After a while, Bai Siruo pulled her sleeves, signaling with her eyes that another person was coming.

The two of them quickly stood behind Uncle Bai's fourth uncle, lowering their heads and pretending to be well-behaved.

There were many people, including academicians from other academies. After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down.

The leader and the eldest is Academician Lu from Shanlu Academy, who is over seventy years old. Sitting on the left is Academician Xing from Hanhai Academy. He is in his early fifties, slightly fat, and sitting on the right The other one is Academician Wang from Wenjin Academy, but she is a female concubine, and her cold temperament is unforgettable.

Bai Siruo looked at her back and seemed to see her best friend Xu Mingyue, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Feng Jinyao frowned and pulled her sleeves. Bai Siruo quickly lowered her head again, not daring to let anyone see the clues.

As for Bai Chaohe, although he is not an academician, his background is there. He is also the husband of the princess, and his knowledge is praised by several people, so he sits next to the academician of Hanhai Academy.

“Academician Lu, can you invite those students to come in?”

 The shopkeeper cautiously asked for instructions after seeing the four people sitting down.

 Academician Lu is the capital academician of Foothill College. He has the longest qualifications and is also the oldest. Being able to invite him to Dengyun Pavilion this year is a supreme honor, so one must pay special attention to his attitude.

Academician Lu is not a pedantic person, nor does he have much of the sourness of a scholar. He looked at the shopkeeper peacefully and said, "The shopkeeper doesn't need to be polite. They are the protagonists today, so naturally I have to invite them."

“Yes. The academician is right.”

After saying this, the literati who had been waiting for a long time entered the Dengyun Pavilion under the guidance of the clerks.

Thousands of people gathered here, and the scene was grand. Many literati wore moon-white gowns and cloud-green brocade gowns to show their noble character.

Today's Feng Jinlin's attire is similar to that of others, except that the moon-white gown on his body is embroidered with some auspicious cloud patterns with silver silk thread, which makes him look more noble.

Feng Jinyao immediately saw her second brother, who was high-spirited and chatting and laughing.

The man standing next to him looked plainly dressed, slightly thinner than his second brother. He was wearing an ordinary gown. Although the style was a bit old, he was very clean and tidy, and had a faint scholarly atmosphere.

The eyebrows were very calm and generous, and there was no trace of embarrassment at all. Feng Jinyao thought to herself, this person is probably the friend mentioned by the second brother last time, Yin Canwen.

 The famous number one scholar in his previous life was indeed extraordinary.

Feng Jinlin had known for a long time that his fourth uncle would be today's judge. He looked over with a smile, but when he saw the two people behind him, the smile on his face froze, and the astonishment in his eyes soon dissipated.

The two girls are so bold that they really dare to come anywhere.

It must be the cousin of the Bai family who came up with the bad idea, otherwise with A Yao's temperament, how could she join in the fun.
