Yang Zheng said in his heart: "If you don't have some skills, how dare you make this banquet, do you think that the talented girl is the cabbage on this street, and she sells it by the pound?" ”

Although Yang Shiqi felt that going to Zhuolu as the prince to such a banquet was a bit of a loss of identity, he had to say that such a banquet was indeed very beneficial to the current prince, and it was also the most effective way to pass on the news of the prince's arrival in Hangzhou as soon as possible, nodded and said: "There is nothing wrong with Brother Yang participating in this banquet as the prince, but these rules, I don't think it's simple. Hangzhou has been a place of humanities since ancient times, and it is inevitable that there will be some masters, in case of losing, but the face of the prince will be lost. ”

Yang Zheng scolded secretly, and said in his heart: "Okay, you Yang Shiqi, I sincerely hope that I will be embarrassed, right, master, I won't follow your wishes?" He said loudly: "Lord Yang, please rest assured, a mere banquet is not difficult for me, if I can't take this daughter of the Li family, I am also sorry for the name of the prince's talent?" “

Yang Shiqi admired his talent very much, and the reason why he said this was that he was afraid that he was just trying to make a name for the prince to come to Hangzhou to recruit relatives, but he forgot the name of the prince's talent and learning, and deliberately said so.

Seeing that Yang Zheng was deceived, he was overjoyed and said, "With Brother Yang's words, I am relieved!" “

The group talked and laughed, and soon arrived outside the Li family's mansion, Yang Zheng accompanied the eldest lady to the Li family's mansion several times, at this time looked at the front of a qiē, although it was only two months, but it was so familiar, I don't know if it was because of the reason for posting the notice, the Li family's mansion was already crowded with cars and horses, many sons and brothers, literati or gently shook the paper fan, or sang high-pitched, or stroked the qin, and many merchants were waiting outside the door, some small merchants took the opportunity to transport seasonal vegetables and fruits and delicacies from all over the world, Loaded on a flatbed carriage, he pushed it to the outside of the Li family's mansion and shouted loudly, and it was not lively outside the Li family's mansion for a while.

The major merchants on the street also showed their signature fruits and foods, and those small merchants and hawkers began to shout in pain, dozens of liquor stores, got the news early in the morning, and opened their doors two hours earlier than in the past, and the arresters of the yamen are also closed today, and they want to maintain order in the house for their county commanders today, and they can't make any jokes.

In short, today's Li family's mansion recruits relatives, the streets outside the Li family's mansion, wine shops, small merchants and hawkers have gathered, just dawn, with the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums in the Li family's mansion, dozens of people dressed in public service walked back and forth in front of the Li family's door, these wine shops, merchants began to help shout: "Today is the eldest lady of the Li family's family to recruit relatives, and I also invite all the sons and talents who come and go to enjoy the light to see!" “

After some rendering by the street vendors, coupled with the notice of the official family, now the eldest lady of the Li family has become the focus of discussion on the streets and alleys, I heard that the eldest lady of the Li family is literary and talented, saying that she is the reincarnation of Su Xiaomei, and those who have seen her appearance say that she is Xi Shi reborn, in short, the eldest lady of the Li family is a talented woman who combines wisdom and beauty, who can marry her home, that is the marriage given by God.

Such rumors did not wait for the rumors to spread, and they attracted countless sons, literati, wealthy businessmen, and many sons and brothers in Huzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo and other places also came inexplicably, with the purpose of winning the beauty from this banquet.

Therefore, the sky has just dawned, and there are a lot of sons and daughters gathered outside the Li family's mansion, but at this time, it has not yet reached the time when the Li family opens the door to let guests enter, these sons have to wait outside the door, although it is now April, but the morning in Jiangnan is still a little cool, poor these sons in order to maintain their demeanor to leave a good impression on the eldest lady of the Li family, these sons only wore a Confucian dress, and at this time they were blown by the morning wind, and suddenly shivered, and outside the door of the Li family's mansion, there was immediately a sound of sneezing, The ups and downs of each other are not spectacular.

It was almost noon when the door of the Li family's mansion opened, and for a while, those literati who were so cold that they didn't care about their status and status, they sighed, rubbed their hands and rushed in from the main entrance.

There is a small attic in the backyard of the Li family, the attic is hidden in a piece of green bamboo, the attic is two floors, not high, but it is rare to be exquisite, chic, the space inside and outside the building circulates and penetrates, there are corridors around each floor, for people to climb and look; The horizontal layers of eaves, corridors and railings surrounding each floor greatly weaken the momentum of the overall vertical body shape blindly rising, so that it always looks back on the earth; The concave roof and the curved corners of the roof avoid the stiffness and coldness of the shape, and are beautifully inlaid in a piece of green bamboo.

At this time, a wooden window on the top floor was pushed open, and there was a beautiful woman sitting next to the windowsill, the woman's eyebrows were like Yuandai, her face was like a full moon, and she was wearing a long emerald green dress, which was as quiet as the pool water outside the window.

This woman is none other than Li Yan'er, since Li Zhuo arranged this banquet, her heart has not settled down, the shadow of the bad guy is always rippling in front of her eyes, although he promised that he will come back, but as the days are approaching, he still does not see him come back, if it is not for her father to watch closely, she can't wait to fly to Nanjing immediately, find the bad guy and never come back, as long as she follows him, she is satisfied.

It's a pity that her thoughts have long been seen through by Li Zhuo, and she has been ordering people to look at her since a month ago, and told her that her father is doing this for her good, she is an innocent official lady, and if she wants to marry someone, she will marry a loving and righteous person, if Yang Zheng really has her in his heart, he will definitely rush back, if he can't rush back, it is enough to show that there is no her in his heart, like such a ruthless and unrighteous person, don't marry? ”

She knew that her father's words were right, so in the past month, she had never thought of running away, she believed that he still had her in his heart, so he would definitely rush back.

It's a pity that the two-month period agreed upon has passed, and today is the last day, she sent her younger brother to Peng's house early in the morning to inquire, and got the result that the bad guy didn't come back, and after hearing the news, she was so disappointed, but the tone of the bad guy who promised her when he left made her secretly have a trace of luck in her heart: "Maybe he won't show up until the last moment, this is his style?" Thinking of this, her face was filled with a smile, which was like a peach blossom in March, extremely beautiful, but unfortunately no one saw it.

Since the door of the Li family was opened, for a whole morning, the sons who came to participate in the recruitment of relatives, literati and scholars, wealthy businessmen, and even official officials also came, looking at the full house of guests, Li Zhuo was both happy and disappointed in his heart, and said in his heart: "Could it be that the kid really doesn't care about my daughter?" “

"Daddy—?" Li Jun hurriedly rushed in.

Li Zhuo hurriedly greeted him and said in a low voice, "How is it, are you back?" ”

Li Jun and the Peng family had been running around all morning, and at this time his throat was already smoking, and he didn't care about losing his courtesy, he reached out and grabbed the tea soup on the table, raised his head and drank a bowl of tea soup with a few grunts, only wiped his mouth, and exhaled: "You haven't come back yet?" "I haven't come back yet, isn't this surnamed Yang really displeasing to your sister?" Li Zhuo said anxiously.

Li Jun said: "I don't think so, then Yang Zheng is also a kind and righteous person, not necessarily such a person, I think something is delayed, right?" ”

"Hmph, you don't say good things to him, count me blind this time?" Li Zhuo said hatefully.

Since he met Yang Zheng in the Peng family, he learned that the Peng family's family banquet was from his handwriting, and he looked at this Peng family's subordinates differently, and later he helped himself set up a plan, recaptured the official seal, and thwarted Wang Bin's conspiracy in one fell swoop, but they Li family has a great favor, but he did not ask for half a return, it seems that such a smart and witty, and affectionate and righteous young man, now rare, this is the thought, will be his daughter Xu to him, for which their Li family specially held this recruitment banquet, he believes in Yang Zheng's talent, It is not difficult to win this banquet, in order to match this matter, he released the news in advance to let Yan'er know, and then through her mouth, he sent the news to Yang Zheng, so as to complete this beautiful thing, originally a qiē is under control, but the sky is not as good as people, after all, it is still a strange trick, I didn't expect this kid to come back.

"Daddy, what are we going to do now?" It was about his sister's lifelong happiness, and Li Jun was also a little panicked.

Li Zhuo looked at the full hall of guests, as well as the endless stream of guests pouring into the house outside the door, and sighed lightly: "Now I just hope that kid can rush back when he remembers your sister's affection for him on weekdays?" ”

"But—?" Li Jun still wanted to speak, Li Zhuo's face sank, and he interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said: "It's better not to think about your little thoughts, although I, Li Zhuo, am a seven-grade official, but I am also a man who promises a thousand gold, and now the notice has been posted, if someone wins the heavy checkpoints set by Yan'er, our Li family can't really lose its trust to others!" ”

"But sister, she—?"

Li Zhuo sighed lightly and said: "The marriage is a major event, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders cannot be violated, and she can't be justified in this matter!" ”

Li Jun sighed lightly, shook his head, and stopped talking.

In the small attic, Li Yan'er took out a brocade bag from her arms, gently pulled open the rope wrapped around her mouth, and immediately revealed a yellowed letterhead inside.

She poured it out gently, and a few lines of familiar handwriting immediately came into view.
