Li Xing signaled to Lu Fei with his eyes. Lu Fei pushed open the door and walked in, closing the door behind him. Not far away, a man wearing a scholarly robe was sitting at a desk. He looked similar to Wang Heng, but was much older than Wang Heng. He looked to be in his thirties.
When Wang Jing saw Lu Fei, he immediately stood up and said, "Young Master Lu."
Lu Fei cupped his hands and said, "Lu Fei pays his respects to Young Master Wang."
Wang Jing smiled and said, "Sit, no need to be so courteous."
Lu Fei sat across from him. Wang Jing also sat down and said, "I've seen the poem Young Master Lu composed at Drunken Cloud Pavilion. It's truly wonderful. May I know where Brother Lu is from?"
Lu Fei said, "I'm from Ji Prefecture's Ye City."
Wang Jing said, "Brother Lu's background is truly tragic. A talented person like Brother Lu will be fought over wherever he goes. I, Wang Jing, am honored to have Young Master as my follower." He paused and said, "A few days ago, I made a painting. I was just worried that I didn't have a suitable poem for it. Brother Lu, please take a look at it."
Lu Fei smiled and said, "I'm happy to help."
However, he became nervous. He thought to himself that if this fellow were to draw a person, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?
Lu Fei followed him to the wall and stood still. He saw a landscape painting hanging on the wall, and only then did he feel relieved. Wang Jing said, "A few days ago, I climbed the nearby Yangyun Peak and happened to see this scene. Thus, I painted it."
Lu Fei saw that the painting was of a peak with a waterfall rushing down from the peak. It was truly a good painting. He pondered for a while and said, "The sun shines and the clouds give rise to purple smoke. The waterfall hangs in front of the river. The water flows down three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way descends from the Ninth Heaven. "
As soon as Lu Fei finished speaking, Wang Jing was immediately moved and said, "You have great literary talent." He then said happily, "I hope Young Master can bestow upon me a treasure of calligraphy."
Lu Fei awkwardly said, "Actually, my calligraphy is really too bad. I'm afraid it will damage Young Master's painting." He thought that as soon as he displayed his talent, Wang Jing even changed the way he addressed him, from Young Master to Teacher.
Wang Jing laughed and said, "It's alright. I plan to give this painting to you, sir. You must accept it."
Lu Fei pretended to be happy and immediately thanked him. Wang Jing took down the painting on the wall and walked to the table. "Brother Lu, please."
Lu Fei complained in his heart. Was Wang Jing trying to test his calligraphy skills? Although his handwriting wasn't bad, he hadn't written much with a brush. He picked up the brush and said, "My family was poor since I was young. I couldn't afford to buy calligraphy, so I didn't practice calligraphy often. I've made a fool of myself in front of young master."
As he finished speaking, he focused his mind and picked up the brush to write quickly. He first wrote the words "Ascending Cloud Sun Waterfall" on the side. When he finished writing the words, even he was surprised. Just now, when he was concentrating, the words he wrote were extremely smooth. Even he himself felt that writing these five words was really carefree. When he looked at the five words again, he saw that each word was thick and vigorous, full of masculine energy. Moreover, these few words were coherent and smooth, and the composition was reasonable. It was really a good set of words. The only flaw was that there were some burrs, but this was not a big deal.
Wang Jing said in surprise, "Mr. Lu, you're too modest. Your calligraphy is really very good."
Lu Fei continued to pick up the brush and finish writing the entire poem. Wang Jing sighed and said, "I almost didn't want to give this painting away."
Lu Fei immediately said, "Then young master, please keep it. If someone sees it in the future and knows that this calligraphy was written by me, won't I become even more famous?"
Wang Jing naturally knew what he meant. He laughed and didn't say anything. Lu Fei continued, "Young master, why don't you let me choose a painting here and give it to me as a gift?"
Wang Jing thought for a moment and said, "Alright. I really can't bear to part with Mr. Lu's calligraphy. I've made a fool of myself."
"You're too kind." Lu Fei immediately chose an extremely ordinary painting on the wall. Wang Jing chatted with him for a while, then asked the servants to bring Lu Fei to rest. Lu Fei followed the servant girl through a moon cave and a courtyard appeared in front of him. The servant girl opened a side room and said, "Young master Lu, this is your room. Do you like it?" The servant girl's beautiful eyes constantly looked at Lu Fei. Lu Fei nodded and said, "Very good." Seeing her looking at him, he smiled and said, "What's your name?"
The servant girl smiled and said, "My name is Yu Xin. If young master needs to be served, just call me." She then left with a red face. The servant girl knew that the distinguished guests in the Fu all had high statuses. If she could establish a relationship with them, she would be able to bask in the glory if one day this distinguished guest had a meteoric rise.
Lu Fei shook his head and walked into the room. He saw that the room was very clean and the lighting was also very good. He laid on the bed and stretched. He thought that since he had finally infiltrated the Fu, the next step would be to investigate the 'Thousand Trick Pearl'. Since he was still unfamiliar with the Fu, it would not be wise for him to act rashly. He decided to stay for a few days and investigate before doing anything else.
He laid on the bed and rested for a while. When he heard some movement outside, he walked to the window and saw that Li Xing had returned. He walked into the room beside him. Lu Fei thought that since he and Li Xing were neighbors, it would be good to have an acquaintance.
Li Xing also noticed that he had a new neighbor and walked over to greet him. When he saw Lu Fei, he happily said, "Brother Feng Qi, so you live next to me. This is great. In the future, I will need your guidance." To avoid being discovered, Lu Fei changed his courtesy name to Feng Qi.
Lu Fei smiled and said, "I still need to ask brother Yun Qi to take care of me."
Li Xing laughed and said, "Just now the young master summoned me and specially asked me to take good care of brother Feng Qi. At the same time, he also asked me to bring brother Feng Qi around the Fu."
Lu Fei happily said, "That's great. If brother Yun Qi is free, let's go."
Li Xing said, "Let me go to the room to get some things."
After a while, Li Xing came out and said, "Let's go."
The two of them used fifteen minutes to walk around the entire 'New Rain Garden'. Li Xing said, "There are a few places in the Fu that you cannot enter. Let me take you there."
The two of them immediately left the 'New Rain Garden'. After walking for a while, Li Xing pointed at a courtyard and said, "This is Master Situ's courtyard. If you are not summoned, you must not enter." After walking for a while with Lu Fei, they stopped in front of a moon cave. On top of the moon cave were the words' Mountain Gazing '. Li Xing said, "This is the third young master's' Mountain Gazing Garden '. This place is even more off-limits. Before this, there was someone who went in and was beaten up by a group of martial artists."
