Chapter 464 The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)

The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)

Lance was very quick and sincere, and Xue Chen soon got the poem that Lance promised.

"hiss."

Xue Chen was shocked and a little hesitant after reading it, "You really want to give this to me?"

He had no impression of this gift, which meant that Lance had definitely not used it yet. He was just going to take it out, and was afraid that the boy wouldn't be able to defeat him?

Lance: "Of course. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

It is better to have less trouble today. Now he still needs to control the Marquis of Zhennan. If he offends either the Marquis of Zhennan or Xue Chen today, it will not be a good thing for him.

The smile returned to Xue Chen. He looked at Lance with satisfaction and suddenly found that this man was actually quite pleasing to the eye.

"Your name is Lance, right? I like your personality. No wonder the Marquis is willing to bring you here. You are indeed a wonderful person."

With Lan Si's clever plan to resolve the situation, Xue Chen spoke a few more words to the Marquis of Zhennan, and the two of them returned to their previous friendly relationship as everyone knew.

Although many people were in the spotlight at the gathering today, the one who attracted the most attention until the end was naturally Lance.

After all, the ability to cause trouble by one's own strength and then immediately resolve it to zero is something that is rare.

Since then, Lance's reputation has spread among this group of talented people.

After the elegant gathering was over, Xue Chen immediately took the newly-acquired poem and hurried off to look for someone.

Within two days, rumors spread that Miss Chen had met a very talented scholar by chance while on an outing and that the two of them had hit it off immediately and that the two families would become relatives and would be getting married soon.

Some people saw that after the talented Xue got engaged, he invited his cousin Xue Chen to have a meal at the most famous Xianhe Tower in Beijing, but no one knew why.

Lance and Marquis Zhennan returned to the mansion, and Marquis Zhennan's attitude towards him was obviously much better than before.

"How did you solve it today?"

He was a little curious.

Xue Chen didn't even give him face. Later, his attitude changed drastically after what Lance said. When they left, he even asked someone to send a valuable gift as an apology. Something must have happened.

Lance briefly explained what he had heard, "Since it was caused by me, I gave Master Xue a poem so that the Xue and Chen families can continue to be friends."

Fu is outshined by him, right?

Then he can just help to cheat. If the marriage still doesn't happen, then we can't continue to cause trouble for him.

"It is so."

Marquis Zhennan thought this was a good idea, but he was a little surprised when he thought about it again.

"How did you write the poem? Can you guarantee that there will be no mistakes?"

Is it really that simple to compose a fu?

Where does Lance get the confidence that Xue Chen will definitely let him go?

Lance recited it casually, and after he finished, the Marquis of Zhennan had a complicated expression on his face.

"You...this poem is good."

The poem is very good, but it is a pity to give it to Xue Chen.

Although the Marquis of Zhennan is not very talented, he is not so stupid as to be unable to distinguish between good and evil.

This poem is obviously better than the Peach Blossom Poem. If he had known that Lance could reach this level, he would not have come to Xue Chen's elegant gathering today. He would have to organize a gathering of his own and take this opportunity to spread Lance's reputation.

Marquis Zhennan felt a little regretful for missing such a good opportunity.

Although he had tested Lance before, he thought that Lance's talent was just average.

I didn't expect Lance to be so talented.

"Your Majesty, don't feel sorry."

Lance heard his complaints and quickly subdued the man.

"My Lord, don't forget that the prince doesn't know my identity. If you create too much hype, won't the prince become suspicious?"

He looked like I didn't want to cause any trouble.

"If the prince becomes suspicious and becomes estranged from the marquis, wouldn't that be Lance's fault?"

"I have no intention of disturbing the prince. I just want to prepare well for the imperial examination and stand out without losing face for the marquis."

Who doesn’t know how to say nice things?

Lance's attitude of not competing or fighting but trying to save face for the Marquis made Marquis Zhennan feel more comfortable.

Although this child did not grow up in the mansion, he was much less worried than those useless bastards.

Marquis Zhennan thought about it and happened to remember something.

"Since you are willing, then do it. However, Hong'er's birthday will be in a few days. Then you can prepare a song similar to this one for Hong'er. It will also help to spread the reputation of our Zhennan Marquis Mansion."

This old Deng is really shameless. Lance lowered his eyebrows and responded softly.

But this is exactly what he wants.

"It's the prince's birthday. Do you need me to avoid him on that day?"

"This……"

Marquis Zhennan was a little hesitant.

He thought so, but he also felt that it would be a bit of a waste to hide Lance.

But after thinking it over again and again, he nodded.

"Then you can stay away from it. I will have someone send you a few rare books to read. Playing the zither can also relieve your boredom. If you need anything, just ask the servants to get it from the accounting office."

To relieve boredom? Lance just pretended not to hear this.

"Yes, Lance knows."

It was impossible to relieve the boredom, so as soon as Lance came back, he called Fuqin over for questioning.

"How is he?"

He played the piano and bowed.

"Young Master has been eating, drinking and sleeping well these past few days, and his complexion has improved significantly."

"It's just that the young master has been asking about you these past two days."

"Ok?"

Lance came out through the screen, wearing a changed robe, and Fuqin's eyes lit up.

"Master will look much better in this outfit."

After saying this, her eyes lit up.

"Master, are you going to see the young master?"

Otherwise, why would Lan Te change his clothes?

"You are smart. Don't worry, go make him something to eat."

Lance naturally moved to the back of the house - the Marquis of Zhennan probably didn't want him to be too conspicuous in the mansion, so he had a small kitchen built for him here. He could just go out the back door when he went to buy groceries, which was a lot more convenient for Lance.

Fuqin hurried to follow.

"Then I'll help you."

He picked a pumpkin and steamed it to make the golden soup base, and picked half a chicken, deboned it, and stewed it to make the soup. Lance thought about it, tore the chicken meat, fried an egg, and cooked a bowl of noodles.

"It's late today, so let's not make it complicated."

Lance took two bowls and Fuqin hurried over to help carry them.

She looked at it and smiled.

"Master, are you going to have dinner with the young master?"

"Well, isn't he asking me? It's a good time to go over and take a look. There's still some left in the pot, you can share it."

"Thank you, Master, for your grace."

Lance stepped out of the door, playing the piano in small steps to catch up, feeling ecstatic.

She has been a little greedy for the past few days since she delivered meals to the young master.

It is true that although the dishes made by the master are simple every time, they are all delicious and tasty. Not to mention that the young master always eats them all, which shows that he likes the taste very much.
