After dressing as a substitute princess

Chapter 23

Seeing that Chen Nuo was so surprised, Zhou Fenfen couldn't help but look at him curiously, "Mo Huai, didn't your family mention it before you came to the academy? Jialan Academy is close to the Imperial College, so the so-called closeness to the mansion comes first, so you must hold on to a good man." Take the chance."

Chen Nuo recalled that Lao Qu really asked him to pay attention to whether there was a suitable partner in the academy, but why did everyone seem to think so?

Zhu Yubao pursed his lips and said displeasedly: "What's the use of being close to the Imperial College? The Furong Book Pavilion opposite the Imperial College is full of beauties. I'm afraid those stinky men will be fooled."

Chen Nuo suddenly became interested, "That Furong Book Pavilion is a place for women to study, right? Are there really many beauties?"

"Of course, all the good girls in Zhaoye City go to school there, but why are you so interested in beauties?" Zhu Yubao looked at Chen Nuo suspiciously.

Chen Nuo touched his nose in embarrassment, secretly thinking that of course it's because he likes beautiful women. Although he doesn't want to fall in love at the moment, it's okay to see.

Seeing that Xu Mubai had been eating food slowly, Zhou Fenfen didn't even participate in their discussion at all. Seeing this slightly cold roommate, Zhou Fenfen opened her big round eyes and asked, "Mubai, what are you looking for in Jialan College?" What kind of husband and son-in-law?"

Xu Mubai glanced at Zhou Fenfen indifferently, and said coldly: "I want to defeat Ning Siyuan."

"Who is Ning Siyuan?" Chen Nuo asked curiously.

Zhou Yunfeng couldn't help frowning slightly, "Ning Siyuan is the most powerful swordsman among the students of the Imperial Academy. He is the youngest son of General Ning, and he is already a sixth-rank swordsmanship master."

Chen Nuo had read in a book that Dazhao's martial arts advocated swordsmanship. Swordsmanship ranks from [-]st to [-]th rank, and most people are already very good at [-]th rank, but this Ning Siyuan is a sixth-rank master at a young age , this talent is simply terrifying.

Chen Nuo couldn't help looking at Xu Mubai curiously, "Xu Mubai, how many swordsmanship masters are you now?"

A dimness flashed across Xu Mubai's eyes, "As long as I can defeat Ning Siyuan, I will be a sixth-rank master."

That means that Xu Mubai is now a fifth-rank swordsman, and everyone present couldn't help but look at him with admiration. A brother can practice swordsmanship to the fifth rank, which shows that Xu Mubai is also an extraordinary talent.

Sitting beside Xu Mubai, Chen Nuo seemed to have an unfamiliar floral fragrance lingering in his nostrils, cold and strong, that fragrance emanated from Xu Mubai's body, Chen Nuo understood that this fragrance indicated that Xu Mubai was full.

After dinner, Zhou Yunfeng took Zhou Fenfen to meet an elder, Zhu Yubao and his book boy Xiaopipa said they were going to meet a friend, and Xu Mubai wanted to go back to the small courtyard to practice swords.

Chen Nuo was also interested in learning swordsmanship, and asked Xu Mubai if he could teach him. Xu Mubai held his hand and looked carefully, frowning and shaking his head, "You have no talent."

Chen Nuo was so choked that he had nothing to say, he really didn't have the talent to learn martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't have practiced with his third uncle for three years before he only knew a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu.

After the four separated, Chen Nuo took Cuiping out of Jialan College. These three days were the freshmen's report day, and students were relatively free to come and go, but they had to register at the gate of the college and be informed of the specific time when they would come back.

In order not to attract attention, Chen Nuo used water to hide the red mole between her eyebrows, but even so Cuiping was still very vigilant, and whenever a strange man approached, she immediately pulled Chen Nuo away.

Chen Nuo looked funny, he was actually protected by a little girl, "Ping'er, relax, I know Kung Fu, it's fine."

"Young Master, Cuiping knows that Young Master used to go out on the street a lot, but now that you have a noble status, it's always right to be careful."

"Well, okay, but you remember to call me Young Master Chen when you are outside, and my full name is Chen Nuo, remember?"

"Young Master, don't worry, Cuiping will remember." Although Cuiping is relatively precocious, she is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and she is very happy to be able to go shopping.

Chen Nuo walked all the way to the bustling East Market, and he found a Da Zhuang furniture store that he had visited before. The furniture made by this store was not bad, and Chen Nuo planned to let them make the furniture he designed.

However, time was in a hurry, Chen Nuo only drew a few sketches of the furniture, and planned to show it to the master of the furniture store first, and ask the price by the way.

Chen Nuo walked into Da Zhuang Furniture Store, and there were no other customers in the store at this time, only a shopkeeper and two assistants, when Shopkeeper Wang saw Chen Nuo, he showed a kind smile, "Hey, what wind brought you here? "

Cuiping was surprised in her heart, she could see that the young master and the shopkeeper knew each other.

Chen Nuo returned shopkeeper Wang with a big smile, and walked to the counter very familiarly, then took out a few design drawings from his arms and put them on the counter, "Treasurer Wang, I want to order a set of furniture, please help me by the way." Is Master Zhao willing to do it?"

Master Zhao is the best carpenter in Da Zhuang Furniture Store, but he is a bit weird, he doesn't take carpentry work easily, and the price is more expensive than other carpenters.

But Chen Nuo is not short of money now, so he just wants to make the best set of furniture. After graduating from Jialan College, he plans to move back and continue to use it.

Shopkeeper Wang only glanced at the blueprints, and immediately became very interested. He stared at Chen Nuo with bright eyes, "Xiao Chen, old rules, sell me the blueprints, and give you a set of furniture for free, how about it?"

Chen Nuo had sold blueprints to shopkeeper Wang before, but at that time he didn't dare to design furniture that was too advanced. Although shopkeeper Wang was not stingy, at most he would give him 20 taels of silver to buy the drawings.

Now that Chen Nuo's status has changed, and he has money in his pocket, he naturally doesn't pay attention to 20 taels of silver, but he has come up with another way of cooperation.

After thinking silently for a while, Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, this is not a good place to discuss business, why don't you let me be the host, let's go to Chunhui Restaurant for a meal?"

Shopkeeper Wang was secretly surprised. He was Chen Nuo whom he met last year. At that time, Chen Nuo was wearing coarse clothes. According to Chen Nuo himself, his family had a large population and was very poor. But today, Chen Nuo not only wore a high-quality silk gown, but also had a hair on his head. The hairpin didn't look ordinary at first glance. Shopkeeper Wang was very curious about how Chen Nuo suddenly became rich, but he still held back and didn't ask any questions. He just nodded and followed Chen Nuo to Chunhui Restaurant.

Chunhui Restaurant is not the largest restaurant in Dongshi, but the dishes made by the cook taste very good and the prices are reasonable.

Shopkeeper Wang saw a beautiful girl following Chen Nuo all the time, so he asked, "Xiao Chen, who is this girl?"

"Oh, she is my younger sister Xiao Ping'er." Chen Nuo said naturally, but in his eyes Cuiping was indeed the same as his younger sister.

After hearing this, Cuiping couldn't help but mutter in her heart, she is obviously one year older than the young master, why is she the younger sister?

The three of them walked into Chunhui Restaurant, and a waiter immediately stepped forward to greet them enthusiastically, "Please come in, three guests."

"Xiao Er, is there a private room upstairs?" Chen Nuo asked.

The waiter wondered: "Guest officer, the private room upstairs is full, and there are still vacancies in the hall by the window, what does the guest officer think?"

Chen Nuo didn't care, and shopkeeper Wang didn't mind, but after the two sat down, Cuiping stood behind Chen Nuo without moving.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at Chen Nuo and Cuiping even more strangely, and Chen Nuo tugged Cuiping's sleeve helplessly, "My good sister, do yourself a favor and sit down, please?"

Cuiping couldn't bear the young master's coquettishness, and immediately sat down obediently with a troubled expression.

Chen Nuo ordered a table of dishes, and then formally began to discuss business with shopkeeper Wang.
