Need for a Guard

You Lan is Shi Yue's book boy and maid, so she naturally wants to serve Shi Yue, so she stands behind Shi Yue as a matter of course.

Hong Xing smiled and poured a glass of wine for everyone one by one. Staring with bright eyes, she found that there was a kiln from the Charming Pavilion beside these talented scholars, but there was no one behind Shi Yue.

With an excited smile on Hong Xing's face, she stood coquettishly behind Shi Yue.

Bai Su knew this group of old guys well, pretended to be refined, and greeted all the great scholars.

In the end, he happened to be standing behind Shi Yue!

However, these three women were so beautiful that they charmed all sentient beings. They all stood behind Shi Yue and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Especially those young scholars, their faces were full of surprise: Is this kid smeared with honey?Why is it so attracting bees and butterflies?

Shi Yue was surrounded by three women, and he felt comfortable smelling the feminine fragrance from them.

However, the feeling of being stared at by these talents like prey is not very good-as the saying goes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will blow it.

Shi Yue whispered to Hong Xing: "Just serve them, don't worry about me."

Red apricot's pink cheeks were full of smiles, her eyes were like water, and she was just staring at him pitifully, neither speaking nor moving.

Shi Yue was of course softened by the shock of the red apricot.

Turning her head to You Lan, she said softly, "Stand over there, don't get too close to me, be careful that I'll become lustful and touch your ass secretly."

You Lan pushed Shi Yue's back with her knee, pouted and said, "I won't leave, I'm your maid, I won't let you touch it, who will touch it?"

Shi Yue was pushed back by You Lan, and looked at Bai Su as if asking for help.

"Susu, go to Uncle Bai's side, you are father and daughter!"

Bai Su bent down and whispered in Shi Yue's ear, "Why do you care about me? I can stand wherever I like! Don't tell me what to do."

Shi Yue felt aggrieved: Three women play a show, these three women should get through it, let's play with me together.

Everyone's eyes were sharp, and they couldn't help feeling deeply jealous when they saw the three beautiful girls standing obediently behind Shi Yue.

In particular, Bai Su was so generous, whispering to Shi Yue, which really made all the talented people very depressed.

Who is this guy?

Seeing that there is no gentle and refined appearance of a talented person, why do you drink happily with us talented people who can read and write?

Tender is not ashamed!

All the people present here are talented people, and it is inevitable to talk about some poems, songs, calligraphy and painting skills during the banquet. All the talented people can speak freely and talk freely, and they all want to leave a deep impression in front of the great Confucianism.

Shi Yue showed little interest in this, but just chatted wittily with Zhu Yan on the left and Kong Liren on the right.

Zhu Yan is a knowledgeable person, of course it can be seen that his father Zhu Chao thinks highly of Shi Yue, so naturally he put aside his social status and chatted with Shi Yue.

Although Kong Liren is a talented man, he is a businessman at heart.

In particular, Shi Yue's words were funny, eclectic, and not nerdy, which made Kong Liren feel comfortable.

Moreover, Kong Liren also knew that although this guy didn't look like a literati, since he was able to sit on this table without feeling awkward, it meant that this guy had extreme self-confidence, and he definitely wasn't an ordinary man who judged people by their appearance .

Shi Yue chatted with the two of them, You Lan and Bai Su were knowledgeable, and occasionally made jokes, the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

Hong Xing didn't interrupt, she just stood behind Shi Yue idyllicly, listening to what they said.

It's just that there are gentle light waves in the eyes, which are firmly locked on Shi Yue's Yingwei's cheeks, and the appearance is like looking at his beloved lover, full of tenderness and sweetness.

The six of them formed a small circle of ingenuity. They talked and laughed sweetly and were very funny. Those talented people next to them didn't even have a chance to intervene.

Through the conversation, Shi Yue also deepened his understanding of Zhu Yan and Kong Liren.

In their speech and demeanor, it was also found that both of them were shrewd guys.

Zhu Yan is the kind of scholar who doesn't talk much but is good at listening. Every time she says something, it's sobering and very reasonable.

Kong Liren, on the other hand, has the natural talkativeness of a businessman, his conversation is easy-going and funny, neither high-key nor low-key, and he protects himself very moderately.

In this small circle, Shi Yue is like a screenwriter, Kong Liren is like a joker, and Zhu Yan is like a joker.

And Hongxing, Youlan, and Baisu are like three curious audiences, who are often amused by the three comedians.

All the talents were drooling when they were seduced by the three beautiful women, but they suffered from not having the opportunity to participate in it.

At the same time, Shi Yue clearly felt a sharp light, and shot towards this side without any scruples.

Looking up, it was Meng Chen!

Shi Yue clearly found that although Meng Chen's hostile eyes were related to him, most of the sharpness still fell on Kong Liren.

Everyone present noticed this interesting phenomenon, but Kong Liren seemed to be unable to see it, and only cared about talking freely with Shi Yue and the others.

Now, even Shi Yue admired Kong Liren's toughness!

The deep hostility between the two is definitely not groundless.

One of the reasons put on the table is that the Meng family and the Kong family are both members of the Four Great Families in Hangzhou and enjoy the honor of the Four Great Merchants.

Moreover, the businesses and industries of the Confucius and Mencius families were so similar, which led to the two families often fighting openly and secretly in pursuit of business resources.

Based on this relationship between competitors, the relationship between Confucius and Mencius is much better than possible.

However, Shi Yue believes that the conflict between the two families definitely does not only exist on this well-known reason—otherwise, they would never be naive enough to show such hostility on important occasions where many great Confucians gather.

Hangzhou is a place that neither the little emperor nor Kang Shanzhen can control. It is the territory controlled by the little emperor's uncle Yan Jun.

That is the place where Ninth Lady Jiaoniang hides.

With foresight, Shi Yue naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with these wealthy businessmen who supported Hangzhou's economic lifeline.

But he also knows that the four major families can only choose one or two, and step on three boats, unless they grow a third leg-although there are third legs, they are definitely not used to step on boats.

The Meng family and the Kong family are the top two big merchants, and I can only choose one.

And after investigating for a long time, he also knew that the Kong family was his choice, but this Meng Chen from the Meng family was out of tune with him.

Seeing Meng Chen's sharp gaze, Shi Yue smiled at Kong Liren: "Brother Kong, someone is very interested in you."

Kong Liren smiled, and said humorously, "Unfortunately, I'm not manly."

You Lan, Hong Xing and Bai Su, why don't they smile so much.

But Zhu Yan was able to hold back her smile.

Kong Liren asked Shi Yue again: "Brother Shi, are you interested?"

Shi Yue frowned, pointed to the three pretty beauties who were smiling and trembling behind him, and said aggrievedly: "I really want to, but they won't let me..."

When the three girls heard the words, their faces flushed, their pink lips parted slightly, and they spat in unison: "I'm..."
