Wang Shou is still wearing a tight-fitting robe of bright silk and milky white, with a jade crown on his head. Although he is a son of a scholar family, he has a unique temperament that makes him an extremely dazzling presence no matter where he is. This temperament
Warm as jade, as clear as water, and as strong as iron, people will naturally respect him when they see him. If Qu Gao had seen those great Confucian scholars, he would know that this kind of temperament is the aura of awe-inspiring people who have cultivated their virtues all year round.
While Qu Gao was looking at him, Wang Shou suddenly looked directly over. Seeing Qu Gao, his face showed joy and he said loudly: "It's a worthwhile trip for me to meet Qu Lang."
Qu Gao stood up hurriedly and took two steps forward. Suddenly he didn't know what to say, so he just bowed and said, "I have met Wang Lang."
As soon as the two said this, the boys and girls in the car also gathered over. Seeing that Wang Shou took the initiative to greet Qu Gao, they all started talking and sizing up Qu Gao.
"Wang Lang, is this the husband of the Qu family who is as famous as you?" A girl with a delicate green robe stared at Qu Gao for a long time, then looked back at the king and asked: "Ms. Lu is puzzled. Apart from his appearance, this Qu Lang
Skin, wealth, status, knowledge, appearance, which one can compare with Wang Lang?" When she looked at Qu Gao, there was a bit of condescending contempt in her eyes, but when she looked at the king's head again, her eyes were full of eyes and affection.
Mianmian.
Originally, there were some people who were surprised by Qu Gao's appearance. After hearing what the Lu girl said, everyone felt that Qu Gao only had a beautiful appearance, and compared with the king's head, it was still much inferior. Qu Gao didn't say anything.
, and did not pay attention to the opinions of the people. He and Wang Shou were as good as clouds and mud, so why should he humiliate himself by comparing with him? Besides, Wang Shou treated him with courtesy, and Qu Gao regarded him as a friend in his heart.
"Ah! Qu Lang's horse is exactly the same as Wang Lang's horse." Someone screamed. Everyone looked at it and saw that the two white horses looked very similar and had the same saddles and saddles. They were instantly shocked.
When the pot was opened, there were all whispers of surprise and suspicion. Wang Shou still had a smile on his face and looked at Qu Gao, as if waiting to see how he would argue.
Qu Gao understood it in his heart and couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. He vaguely felt that Wang Shou was deliberately trying to cultivate him, and it was not the friendship Qu Gao had in mind. He allowed the sarcasm of his friends beside him to go unchecked.
He wants to use this to stimulate Qu Gao's potential and tap out the side he wants to see. In other words, Wang Shou seems to be cultivating himself as a wing. This is an equal relationship with Qu Gao's friends.
There are some differences.
With a faint smile, Qu Gao said: "It's always lively around Wang Lang. I'm with you, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, he turned around and returned to his seat.
"How could this person be so rude? A low-class person from a poor family dares to sit down before me! After all, he comes from a poor background and has poor cultivation!" the Lu family's daughter cursed angrily.
"An Ning doesn't know, Qu Lang's car was a gift from Brother Wang." A man said loudly. When Qu Gao heard the voice, he knew it was Chen Xuan, Chen Jiawulang, who had embarrassed him in the horse market that day.
How could Chen Xuan not hold a grudge when Qu Gao scolded him for being a shallow tutor in front of everyone last time? It was only because Wang Shou was protecting Qu Gao that he could not bear it. Today he was worried that Qu Gao would bully him, so
He had been hiding behind everyone, but when he saw that Qu Gao was being made difficult by the Lu family, and Wang Shou did not say anything to protect him, he dared to stand up and wanted to avenge his shame. He also said: "A few months ago in Ma Market, Qu Lang wanted to buy something.
He has a horse, but he is short of money. Brother Wang was so generous that he gave him one as a gift. Otherwise, with his family background, how could he be worthy of this snow-white horse?"
Wang Shou looked at Qu Gao with an unclear expression, and saw that he seemed not to have heard anything. He was talking and laughing with his two friends at the table. His brows were slightly wrinkled, and he secretly wondered: How could he swallow so many words today without being distracted?
Attack? When I looked carefully, I found that Qu Gao seemed to have changed a little. His face was a little less childish than when we first met him, but a little more. It was an aura that he had never seen in all the friendships he had. This kind of
The momentum reminded Wang Shou of a person he met with the head of the Wang clan when he was in the new capital of Jiankang, General Zu Ti, the hero of the Northern Expedition!
Almost in an instant, Wang Shou immediately understood that Qu Gao knew that he was waiting for him to show his cleverness to save the siege, but did not bother to do so. After three days apart, Wang Shou couldn't help but re-examine the man who was as famous as himself just by his appearance.
young man.
Feeling the different look in the king's eyes, Qu Gao raised his head and smiled, and replied: "Your Majesty, why don't you take your seat yet?" The king nodded and was instructing everyone to stop the carriage when Lu Aning's sharp voice came out.
Passed it over again.
"Chen Wulang, I heard that that day in Dongshi, you were humiliated because of Wang Lang's face. Today, my family is fair here and Wang Lang is not allowed to be partial. You must compete with Qu Lang.
?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's interest was naturally aroused. Qu Gao also raised his head and saw that the usually peaceful Wang Shou showed a rare trace of panic. He turned back and asked Zhu Yan and Zhong Lijun.
: "Have you finished your tea? You can go up the mountain now."
Zhu Yan and Zhong Lijun were already feeling uncomfortable. After hearing this, they immediately stood up and prepared to go up the mountain, but Chen Wulang rushed in front of them and stopped them.
"Qu, you scolded Chen for having a shallow tutor that day. Chen is here to talk to you about tutoring today!" With the support of Lu's daughter, Chen Xuan knew that Wang Shou would never stand up for Qu Gao again.
The anger that had been accumulated for more than a month suddenly burst out. "My Chen family is a branch of the Chen family in Yingchuan. It has been a prominent family in the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, and has been a minister for generations. What is your Qu family? The three generations of your ancestors were just gatekeepers.
Untouchable, why are you talking about tutoring? I heard that your old master even asked Prefect Zhang for a chance to protect you, otherwise an unlearned and unskilled person like you would not even be able to retain the position of captain of the city that your family has inherited.
, Qu Gao, how can you stand up in this world?"
Chen Xuan cursed so much in one breath, and most of the anger in his heart was relieved. Seeing that there was a dispute here, hundreds of people gathered around. In front of so many people, he cursed the late grandfather again, Qu Gaoye
Angry, he wanted to smash Chen Xuan's head with a palm, but that would really make the Qu family reviled. Seeing this, Zhu Yan was about to speak, but was stopped by Qu Gao.
"Mr. Chen, our Qu family is indeed insignificant, but we have guarded Xiangyang for generations and have never failed in the slightest. We also deserve the name given by the prefect to be loyal to the country. Although Gao is not as brave as his father and grandfather, he has been practicing Sanjiu in the winter and practicing in the summer since he was a child.
Sanfu never dares to waste his martial arts. With a weak and sick body like Chen Lang, even if ten of them fight together, Gao will not take him seriously." Qu Gao stared at Chen Xuan with contempt on his face.
Smiling, seeing his anger, he added: "The Chen family of Yingchuan is indeed a famous family for a century, and has been a minister for generations. Changwen Gong founded Zhongzheng, revised the law, and it is still in use today. His descendants have all been granted the title of marquis and general, and the Chen family is well-deserved.
He is the first-class high-ranking family in Yingchuan. However, it seems that no one of the Chen family in Xiangyang has left a name in the court for a century." The topic changed, and Qu Gao said again: "Mr. Chen is twenty-one this year, right? Have you ever thought about entering the imperial court?
Do you want to shine with your official career? Or do you have other plans to benefit the Yin family? The ancestors of the Chen family, Gao also looked up to him, but the husband was just a commoner, and he still needed the support of the Lu family to confront Gao. He really lost the dignity of his ancestors. Even though Gao was from a humble family, he didn't bother to look at him.
