Rêve de Jiangshan

Chapitre 52

Sure enough, Bai Shaojun smiled and said, "Young Master Wuyou, why don't you sit with our famous talented scholar Yuchi Rufeng from Yuezhou City?"

Wuyou smiled at Rufeng. It was just a smile, but it had endless feminine charm. After smiling, she prepared to sit down next to Rufeng without any hesitation.

It should be noted that in feudal society, class consciousness was still very conservative. The Yuchi family was a nationally renowned "General's Mansion," having produced six generals who were loyal to the country and made great contributions to the stability of the Zilu Kingdom. Therefore, the Yuchi family held great prestige in the hearts of the people.

Ru Feng comes from a military family. Although the Yuchi family is currently small, Ru Feng is the only grandson of the mighty General, making him a scion of a prominent family. Wu You, on the other hand, despite his widespread fame, is still an actor of low status. Therefore, Bai Shaojun's decision to have Ru Feng and Wu You sit side-by-side was a humiliation. Everyone present stared wide-eyed at how Ru Feng would handle the situation, some whispering amongst themselves, their eyes revealing amusement.

Ru Feng hadn't thought of this at first, but after noticing Bai Shaojun's provocative gaze, she suddenly realized what it meant.

However, if Bai Shaojun wanted to see her get angry or uncomfortable, he was wasting his time. Ru Feng came from modern society and didn't care about those hierarchical rules. Moreover, in her eyes, the Carefree Young Master was equivalent to a modern entertainment star, so she was actually very excited.

"Come, come, sit here," Ru Feng said hurriedly, pulling Wu You's hand.

Wuyou was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and sat down with a smile. As soon as she sat down, Rufeng turned around and said with a smile, "I am Yuchi Rufeng, you can call me Rufeng, Wuyou, may I call you that? I just heard your name a few days ago. I heard that you are very good at singing opera. I admire opera singers the most because I think it is very difficult to learn. Moreover, I am tone-deaf and have a terrible voice, so I can't learn even if I wanted to."

Upon hearing this, Wuyou's first reaction was that Rufeng was mocking him. However, seeing Rufeng's excited eyes and sincere expression, he began to doubt his judgment. Before he could think of what to say, he heard Rufeng exclaim again, "Oh dear, it's so cold. How can you only wear a thin shirt? No wonder your hands are so cold!"

Before the words were even finished, Ru Feng took off his thick blue cotton coat, revealing a large blue sweater underneath, and draped it over Wu You, covering up any exposed skin. Then he poured a cup of hot tea, handed it to Wu You, and said with a smile, "Drink this, it's to warm you up."

Everyone was stunned. When did things turn out like this?

Wuyou was also stunned. He had grown up with the opera troupe since he was a child, constantly learning everything he was supposed to learn. He had begun to show his talent since he was five years old, and his appearance was beginning to reveal his stunning beauty. Under the troupe leader's tutelage, he began to sing and perform on stage at the age of thirteen, and now at sixteen, he was already a famous opera singer.

During his performance tour of Yuezhou City, he achieved great success upon arrival and quickly made a name for himself. However, a few days later, someone compared his prized appearance to that of a man named "Yuchi Rufeng." He was indignant and, after some investigation, learned of Yuchi Rufeng's exploits. At the time, he was filled with disdain, thinking, "Isn't it just that Yuchi Rufeng has a better background? If I had such a family background, then I..."

So when Bai Shaojun came to see me, I was prepared to give him a hard time, which is why I dressed up in red and made a good impression. Seeing everyone's attention on me made me even more confident.

Upon closer inspection, one could finally see what the so-called "Yuchi Rufeng" looked like.

He appeared to be of medium height, wearing a blue cotton coat that was different from the others. Upon closer inspection of his face, I was struck by how handsome he was!

His face, which could be both male and female, was most striking for its large, dark eyes, a red mole on his forehead, and a smile as gentle as a spring breeze. It was a pure and spirited face, without the arrogance of a noble young master. Although it had a touch of childishness, it only added to his charm.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't deny that the man in front of him was indeed an outstanding person. No wonder many young women in Yuezhou City regarded him as their ideal husband.

Watching him take off his cotton coat and put it on me, and then seeing the hot tea he handed me, the coldness in my heart seemed to warm up along with my body.

Volume 1, Chapter 65: Night Temptation - A Young Man's Unfamiliarity with Love

"Thank you." Wuyou took the hot tea from Rufeng and said blankly.

Ru Feng smiled and shook his head, staring intently at Wu You's face, his eyes shining: "Wu You, you are so beautiful."

Wuyou quickly calmed down, smiled brightly, and became even more radiant: "Hehe, Rufeng, I am a man."

"Men are attractive too, good-looking is good, huh?" Ru Feng casually agreed, glancing at Bai Shaojun before subtly looking at the others, noticing that many were captivated by Wu You. Tsk tsk, their expressions were definitely more lewd than his own.

Bai Shaojun, sitting in the seat of honor, said loudly, "Ru Feng, you are truly blessed with good fortune today. I am so envious to have such a handsome and carefree young master by your side! And you are so tender and gentle with women."

Ru Feng toyed with the small blue-and-white porcelain cup on the table, looked up at Bai Shaojun, and smiled, "As long as you, Young Master Bai, are willing, you can be like me." Ru Feng suddenly felt disgusted with everything in front of him. What was the point of all this? It was a waste of time. He might as well go back and learn swordsmanship, and then examine his own martial arts skills.

With this in mind, Ru Feng smiled casually and responded casually in the days that followed. When he went out to admire the plum blossoms with everyone, Ru Feng recited several poems, which caused Bai Shaojun's plan to fail and shocked the other arrogant people.

"Young Master Rufeng speaks poetry fluently and has a quick wit; his reputation is truly well-deserved!" Xiang Jingbo, whom he had just met on the road, said with a cupped-fist salute and a smile of admiration.

Wearing his own cotton-padded coat, Ru Feng looked up at the sky, wishing he could go back right now, so he simply replied, "Hehe, you flatter me."

After that, anyone who tried to make things difficult for Ru Feng was easily bypassed by him. Everyone was bored, and Bai Shaojun even glared at Ru Feng, wishing he could boil this arrogant kid and eat him.

As dusk fell, Ru Feng approached Bai Shaojun and said, "Young Master Bai, it's getting late, and I'd like to go back so my family won't worry."

Bai Shaojun glared at her: "Ru Feng, do you still hold a grudge against us for our past grievances? I genuinely want to make up with you this time, and you won't even give me that much face?"

Ru Feng carefully observed Bai Shaojun's forced smile and sighed inwardly. It seemed that today was not going to work out. He really regretted coming to this place; it was so boring.

But she still had to reply, "How could that be? We were just joking before. We're both from Yuezhou, so of course we should be one family." As she said this, Ru Feng felt disgusted with herself.

Bai Shaojun was indeed disgusted. He stared at Ru Feng with wide eyes and said, "That's right, that's right. Ru Feng, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Anyway, you have Young Master Wuyou by your side, which is something we can't even dream of."

Some people laughed. Ru Feng smiled and glanced at Wu You's beautiful face, saying, "Wu You and I hit it off immediately, so we chatted for a while."

Now, Wuyou, dressed in the red gauze robe brought by Bai Shaojun and covered with a silver fox fur jacket, looked even more beautiful against the backdrop of plum blossoms swaying gently in the wind throughout the forest. Although it was inappropriate to use "beautiful" to describe a man, Rufeng couldn't think of any other words to describe the beauty before him.

Although Ru Feng was a woman, she couldn't help but admire Wu You. If Wu You were a woman, how stunningly beautiful she would be! But he was a man, so from a man's perspective, Wu You looked rather effeminate. Ru Feng felt that she was more masculine than him. Thinking of this, Ru Feng smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Wuyou asked.

Ten steps away from Ru Feng, under the plum tree in full bloom, a beautiful woman stood gracefully, her jade-like hand gently stroking the plum branch, turning back to smile at Ru Feng.

Everyone was captivated and stunned.

Ru Feng also laughed and said, "'A smile can topple a city, a glance can topple a nation,' with such charm, Ru Feng has no words to praise Wu You."

"Hehehe... Ru Feng is really the sweetest. Who doesn't know how amazing Yu Chi Ru Feng is? Now she's speechless. Isn't she trying to embarrass me, Wu You?" Her demeanor even showed a bit of girlish charm. Some people were already drooling and staring blankly at her.

A tall, handsome young man with a face like jade, eyes like clear springs, and a gentle smile on his lips, and a beautiful woman laughing sweetly, with a white plum blossom in full bloom behind them. Such a beautiful scene and a beautiful woman made everyone around them utterly captivated.

Ru Feng suddenly felt a chill. Ugh, how come I'm only seeing this side of Wuyou now? I thought he just looked effeminate, but I didn't expect his mannerisms to be a bit feminine as well. But Wuyou's writing skills are truly remarkable, and we get along quite well.

So everyone teased Rufeng and Wuyou again. Rufeng shook his head repeatedly, while Wuyou just smiled. Even as evening approached, Rufeng still couldn't get away and had to stay for dinner. By the end of the meal, Rufeng had gotten to know most of the people. When he wanted to leave after dinner, the others wouldn't let him go and insisted on a late-night chat. Fortunately, everyone present was quite knowledgeable and they talked about things Rufeng had never heard before, or discussed politics. So Rufeng found it quite interesting and didn't insist on leaving.

"Sigh, I heard that the Spring Vine Kingdom and the String Kingdom are dissatisfied with our country, and now they seem to be stirring up trouble on the border again. I wonder if a war will break out?" Xiang Jingbo shook his head and sighed.
