Chapter 175 It Was You

The Han Mansion was built magnificently. Due to the wealth of Runzhou, Han Shilang used to be the servant of the household department. He was an official in Li Tang and became a veteran of the three dynasties. One of them is that the attics and terraces of the halls everywhere are resplendent and resplendent, which is comparable to Xu's mansion.

The nine big families like the Bai family are merchants after all, and they dare not be too ostentatious. They are ultimately inferior to the palaces of princes and nobles.

It's not the first time for Su Chen to come to the Han Mansion, but it's the first time to the back garden.

This garden is very characteristic of the south of the Yangtze River, exquisite and beautiful, with small bridges and flowing water, rockery and bitan pools, curved corridors and pavilions, vines and vines everywhere, and bamboo forests.

It was mid-April in the south of the Yangtze River. On the lake that was excavated by manpower, lotus flowers bloomed, the green water was long, and when the wind blew, there was a fresh fragrance of flowers.

Today's luncheon was not held in the hall, but was requested by Han Xizai to be held in the stone pavilion by the lake. The scenery is suitable and it looks extraordinarily elegant.

Su Chen stepped into the garden and walked through the large courtyard with nine winding corridors, white walls and black tiles. The scenery is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. He should be in a relaxed mood, but for some reason, he always feels restless.

As he approached Shiting, he found that there seemed to be several figures at the banquet, not Han Xizai and Gao Yuan, but a woman in a light yellow gown playing the piano, and she heard the elegant sound of the piano dozens of steps away.

"There are others, why didn't you say it earlier!" Su Chen complained to Han Xiaopang in a low voice while walking.

Han Yunpeng said bitterly: "My father didn't tell me who he invited, he just asked me to invite you. Hey, isn't that Uncle Xu and Talented Xu?"

His eyes are very sharp, and he has already recognized the stunning beauty who plays the piano, it is Xu Qingwan, a talented woman.

"Okay." Su Chen turned around to leave, but was held by Han Yunpeng's arm.

Han Yunpeng exclaimed inappropriately: "Brother, where are you going?"

Su Chen hurriedly swung his arms and said, "I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first, just say I haven't been here."

Han Yunpeng was puzzled and said: "It's already here, how can I leave!"

"Let go, don't pull me!" Su Chen wanted to leave in a hurry, but Han Yunpeng didn't want to let go.

The two entangled here, but they attracted the attention of Han Xizai, Gao Yuan and others at Shiting.

The sound of the piano also stopped at this time, and everyone looked over.

Su Chen stopped struggling, brushed off the front of his clothes, forced a smile on his face, and stepped forward with the image of a well-educated scholar.

Han Yunpeng stood where he was, admiring secretly: My brother Su can also perform well!

Su Chen walked up to the stone pavilion, cupped his hands politely and said, "Mr. Han, you sent Yunpeng to invite this junior over, what advice do you have?"

Han Xizai's status is unusual, so he didn't stand up to greet the junior, but just stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Su Chen, the old man's house is hosting a banquet today, there are no outsiders, come and sit down, the old man will introduce some old friends of mine to you. .”

Su Chen took a look at the six seats on the table, and there was one seat vacant, which should be reserved for him. As for Han Yunpeng, Han Xizai waved his sleeve to make him avoid it.

He sat down with agitation in his heart, and that seat, unfortunately, happened to be next to that of talented girl Xu.

Su Chen turned his face sideways, he didn't dare to look at Xu Qingwan, worried that he would be recognized, he just looked at Han Xizai, waiting for him to introduce everyone.

Among the seats, besides him, there were four men and one woman. Among them, Han Xizai, Han Pei, and Xu Qingwan, he knew these three, but he had never seen the other two men. They should be Uncle Xu that Gao Yuan and Han Yunpeng were talking about. .

Han Xizai introduced at this time: "This is the Patriarch of the Xu family in Runzhou, Duke Ning, who was conferred by the imperial court. You can call him Lord Hou!"

"Junior Su Chen, I have met Lord Hou!" Su Chen vaguely guessed that this person might be Xu Qingwan's father.

Ning Guogong nodded slightly, looked at Su Chen, not sure why his elder brother Han Shilang invited such a young son to the banquet.

"This is the transfer envoy of the capital, member of the household department Wailang, and Mr. Gao Yuangao!" Han Xizai continued to introduce.

Su Chen cupped his hands and said: "Junior Su Chen, I have met Mr. Gao."

"Young Master Su, you don't need to be too polite!" Gao Yuan was unexpectedly pleasant and polite to Su Chen, which made Su Chen himself a little puzzled.

On the other hand, Xu Qingwan kept sizing up Su Chen with her eyes, and when she looked at it from the side, she felt that this person's appearance was very similar to that Su Yixuan whose supernatural powers were endless.

Han Xizai continued: "I don't know if you have seen Su Chen, this talented girl. She is known as the number one talented girl among the younger generation in Runzhou."

Xu Qingwan's eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were full of autumn water, she was very charming, her cheeks were slightly red and she said: "Mr. Han also came to make fun of Qingwan, so I won't come to play the piano for you next time."

Han Xizai smiled and said: "Haha, this is not just a joke, but it deserves its name. Not to mention poetry and songs, this piano skill alone is much better than those luthiers hired by my family with a lot of money."

Su Chen looked at Xu Qingwan, with that stunning appearance, Qiushui was like a god and his bones, every frown and smile, every word and every line carried the innocence and gentleness unique to women from water villages.

"I once met Xu Cainv under the stage of "The Story of the West Chamber" performed in the Xiangyun Pavilion."

Xu Qingwan smiled lightly and said: "Qingwan feels that Mr. Su gives me the illusion of familiarity, as if he has met more than just once. Could it be that we have met before?"

"This..." Su Chen was hesitating in his heart, it was obvious that talented Xu was doubting whether he should lie or not.

However, he was a little uncertain about the way Han Xizai planned today's banquet. If he denies it now and talks nonsense, he will be stabbed by Han Shilang later, but he will not be able to justify himself, and he will be so embarrassed that he will die.

Sure enough, without waiting for Su Chen to find an excuse to answer, Han Xizai laughed and said, "Xu Xiandi, Wan'er, maybe you have never heard of Su Chen's name, but you must have heard of his name!"

"His name?" Ning Guogong Xu Yonghua showed suspicion, but his daughter, a talented woman Xu Qingwan's eyes flickered, she was a little surprised, and even looked a little unsure, as if she had guessed something.

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he finally understood why he felt a little uneasy when he just entered the garden. Today, Han Xizai's banquet was probably trying to trick him on purpose.

Han Xizai smiled and said, "His name is Su Chen, and his name is Yixuan. He is a Jiangzuo talented scholar who has become a hot topic recently. Those popular new poems and the lyrics of The West Chamber are all written by him!"

"You are... Su Yixuan!" Patriarch Xu became excited first, his eyes lit up. He himself was obsessed with calligraphy and painting all his life, and practiced calligraphy at home all day long. The handwriting of the two poems by Su Chen that Xu Qingwan took home that day, except for the talented woman In addition to copying, her father, the duke, also copied it many times.

Especially the handwriting of the "Peach Blossom Poem", whether it is the font or the poem, made Ning Guogong admire him so much, he watched it all day long, and couldn't put it down.

At this time, the distinguished Ning Guogong seemed to be a little fanboy, staring at Su Chen with fiery eyes, which was very different from the lukewarm expression just now.

"Su Yixuan, so it's you!" Xu Qingwan lost her voice in surprise, her eyes were also fixed on Su Chen, no wonder she looked so familiar with him, no wonder Peng Qingqing had a close relationship with him, no wonder Su Yixuan had been invisible and never appeared.

The reason is this, he never claimed to the outside world that Su Yixuan is actually Su Chen's name!

"Good, Su Chen, Su Yixuan, it's hard for Wan'er to hide it!" At this time, Xu Qingwan was annoyed in her heart, like a resentful woman, looking at Su Chen's eyes, it was a resentment.
