Chapter Seven: The Book is as Lovely as Jade

  "Master Feng, from now on you will be the tutor of the Lu family. Miss Lu will come to listen to your lectures every other day for a period of time. As for the rules of the mansion, you will understand them when the time comes. I hope you will take care of yourself."

  The chief steward was named Lu Fu, and he made proper arrangements for Hao Feng Lou.

  "Also, your residence is in the east wing of the outer house, I've already had someone tidy it up for you. However, remember that the inner courtyard is off-limits and you can't enter or exit at will. The Lu family's rules are strict, if you break them, Master and Mistress will punish you severely. Of course, as a gentleman, you're different from us servants, so feel free to move around in the outer house. If you need anything, just call out to Wu, he lives next door and will take care of you."

  Hao Feng Lou said: "I have a maid who usually takes care of my daily life. Can she also move in?"

  Lu Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright, but I don't know where the person is. It just so happens that our household needs to send someone to bring you gifts, we'll invite him over at the same time."

  Hao Feng Lou nodded and said, "Thank you."

  Lu Fujun was in a hurry to go back and report to his wife, so he chatted with Hao Fenglou for a few sentences, probed into the bottom of Hao Fenglou's affairs, saw that there was no problem, and then hastily left.

  Hao Feng Lou's residence was quite good, after all, it was the treatment of a gentleman, so he was specially arranged in a suite with one entrance and one exit. The outer room could be used as a small hall, while the inner room was a bedroom. As for the furnishings, the Lu family had also taken this into consideration, finding some calligraphy and paintings to decorate the place, and even providing writing materials such as brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

  Hao Fenglou was very satisfied with this arrangement. He got free food and accommodation, and his teaching tasks were also very simple. He only had to teach one class every two days, which was easy and relaxing.

  Hao Fenglou had been in the house for half a watch, when Xiao Xiangxiang came with her bundle on her back. Although they had only been apart for a few watches, Xiao Xiangxiang rushed towards Hao Fenglou excitedly, tears welling up in her eyes: "I was scared to death! I thought you'd abandoned me, Master! You really became a teacher?"

  Hao Feng Lou said in a low voice, "I don't dare, I don't dare. You're too outstanding and exceptional, the Lu family values me highly, it's hard to decline their kindness... Alright, tomorrow I'll have to teach Miss Lu to read, but you, young master, don't even have one book on hand, what can be done about this?"

  Most people on Lu's side thought that Hao Fenglou was a bookworm, and since he was a bookworm, he would definitely bring his own books, so they didn't prepare any courses for him, nor did they send him any books.

  But now, Hao Fenglou's tragic discovery is that he can't seem to find any books to prepare lessons for tomorrow. So... what will he teach tomorrow?

  As soon as the book was mentioned, Xiaoxiang's eyes lit up and she hastily said: "I have some, I have some. When Madam instructed me to follow Young Master, I brought some books with me, which were found under Young Master's pillow. I had hoped that Young Master would reform his ways and read more books, but I didn't expect them to come in handy now."

  It really does exist...

  Hao Feng Lou couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiang Xiang with new eyes, thinking that she was really considerate, and was simply a model for all the young ladies out there. Not only did she send money and warmth, but also books.

  Xiao Xiang untied her bundle and indeed found a few books, as a little servant girl, she looked very serious about the books and said: "Young master, you must read books, quickly read books."

  Hao Feng Lou took the book and saw Xiao Xiang Xiang's very sacred look, couldn't help but feel amused. However, in this era, those who read books are all literati, and literati are high and unapproachable figures in the eyes of ordinary people. The two words "reading" themselves symbolize elegance.

  It's just...

  The First Book "Scholar's Wind and Flow"

  The Second Book "The Wife is Like Cloud"

  The third book "Martial Maiden Secret History"

  Hao Feng Lou was shocked.

  That's the book that scum reads... He turned to a page of Shi Zi's romantic affairs and saw unbearable words: 'This student is extremely fond of doing things during the day, likes to look at obscene objects to help with lust, does things at night...'

  Damn it! As expected, it's indeed a treasured collection of a prodigal son.

  Go back to "Fragrant Wife Like Cloud" and "Secret History of Wu Niang", they are also so-called "obscene secret books" of the unofficial history. It must be that Hao Feng Lou had brought them from somewhere every day and placed them beside his pillow, but Xiao Xiang didn't know how to read, for her, all books were sacred objects, so she carefully collected them and brought them along.

  Hao Fenglou felt that he was really going to have a tragic ending, using this kind of book for lesson preparation. Not to mention whether he could sleep tonight or not, reading too much would make his blood vessels burst and might even cause him to explode to death.

  Hao Fenglou put down the book and said, "Mmm, they're all good books, but I'm not in a hurry now. I'll take a nap first and read them slowly later."

  Xiao Xiangxiang thought the young master was going to slack off, so she immediately said: "It's still early, Young Master is clearly trying to slack off." Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued: "Madam instructed me, I must..."

  Hao Feng Lou's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. Seeing Xiao Xiang Xiang on the verge of tears, Hao Feng Lou's heart softened and he said, "Alright, alright, I'll take a look."

  Hao Feng Lou sat in the small hall, holding his wife Yu Yun's letter and reading it with a serious expression. The words inside were unbearable to look at. Hao Feng Lou thought to himself: "After being influenced for so long, will I become a beast instead of a romantic?"

  Xiao Xiang Xiang was fluttering about like a butterfly, flitting between the inner and outer halls, sometimes curtsying to pay respects, and sometimes sneaking out to take a peek, checking if Young Master was slacking off. Apparently, Young Master had become a teacher and was now reading books again, which made her feel joyful, but she didn't dare make any noise, fearing that it would disturb the study of Hao Feng Lou, so she tiptoed around quietly.

  This night was really unbearable, Hao Feng Lou thought of putting down the book several times, but seeing the happy little Xiangxiang, he couldn't bear to, and so read until he didn't know what time it was. He lifted his head to see that there was no sound in the room, Hao Feng Lou put down the book, tiptoed over to lift the curtain of the inner room, and saw that Little Xiangxiang had already fallen asleep on the table, emitting a faint snoring sound.

  "This lass..." Hao Feng Lou shook his head, having read too many books just now, his mood was hard to calm down, so he decided to go out for a walk and blow some cold wind.

  The moonlight outside is bright and clear, the silver moon is like a glowing jade stone. A little moonlight spills into the courtyard, the trees sway gently, revealing some light through the gaps, and a slight cold wind blows, finally calming down the body of Hao Feng Lou.

  He walked with his hands behind him, in high spirits, pacing around the courtyard, using the hazy moonlight to take in the scenery around him. In his heart, he couldn't help but think about tomorrow's lesson with Miss Lu, feeling both a bit anxious and excited.

  Suddenly, the sound of metal clashing and faint moaning came from not far away. Hao Fenglou's interest was piqued, and he quickened his pace.

  In front was a vacant piece of land, this vacant land... seemed to be a sandy arena, but the Lu family being a martial arts household, it was reasonable for them to set up an arena in the outer courtyard.

  On the school grounds, under the moonlight, a woman held a treasured sword and danced wildly like a storm, her skirt fluttering in the wind along with the sword's glow, as if performing a dance. However, the treasured sword flying through the air was not as gentle and beautiful as a dance, its sharp blade shining brightly under the moonlight, piercing through the void, swift as lightning.

  Hao Feng Lou's eyes widened in shock, he found that his own eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of the treasure sword. Just how fast was this sword dancer?

  This is martial arts... Martial arts actually exist in this era!

  Hao Feng Lou was shocked once again, but what he saw was real. The woman in front of him, whose face was almost invisible due to her speed, was using martial arts.

  The woman seemed to have discovered Hao Feng Lou, her speed suddenly paused, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then with extremely fast speed, as if a gust of wind, she borrowed force to 'fly' over, the sword tip shining like a star. The next moment, the sword blade steadily stopped at Hao Feng Lou's throat.

  The woman's voice was cold and detached, with a nasal tone, saying "Get out!"

  "How violent! How savage! However, this young master specializes in dealing with all kinds of disobedience and problem girls!" This thought flashed through Hao Fenglou's mind.

  With the moonlight, Hao Feng Lou finally saw the woman's appearance clearly. Her black silky hair was flying in the gentle breeze, sometimes sticking to her white and shiny skin, and sometimes brushing against her thin and slightly raised beautiful lips. Her narrow nose bridge was like snow on a mountain, set off by a faint light, standing tall and straight. The eyes under her willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows were deep and unfathomable. She grasped the hilt of her sword tightly, the tip of which remained still at Hao Feng Lou's throat. Her expression was cold and beautiful, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

  Are all beautiful women in the morning so fierce?

  However, under the pressure of the sword's edge, Hao Feng Lou couldn't help but admire the beauty of the woman. A chill ran down his spine, but his expression was relaxed, and with a rather arrogant tone, he said: "This young master has never rolled over before, why not ask sister to teach me?"

  "You..." The woman's beautiful eyebrows twitched, and her cold demeanor intensified.

  Hao Feng Lou sighed and said, "Beautiful sister, as a woman, it's not good to be so violent. Can you please move your sword away?"

  The woman, however, moved the sword tip forward by half an inch, and the sword tip almost touched Hao Feng Lou's skin.

  That's her answer!

  Hao Fenglou's heart was racing, but he lightly pursed his lips and maintained a calm demeanor.

  Finally, the woman let out a soft breath, clearly not expecting Hao Feng Lou to be so bold, and said in a low voice: "Are you the new teacher?"

  Hao Feng Lou smiled and said: "The student is polite." Polite your head, Hao Feng Lou cursed in his heart.

  The woman glanced at him with disdain, sheathed her sword and said lightly: "The Lu family is not as simple as you think, it's better for a scholar like you to stay out of this muddy water."

  Having said that, he coldly smiled towards Hao Feng Lou and floated away.

  "Isn't it easy? This young master has already crossed over, what's more difficult than this young master finding a wife?" Hao Feng Lou yawned, thinking carelessly.

  On the other side, the woman returned to her boudoir, where a maid came forward and wiped away the fine sweat on her forehead with warm water. The woman said faintly, "That new teacher who has just arrived at the mansion is a bit strange, try every means to find out more about him, don't let it delay the important matters of Prince Yan's palace."
