Xu is because the royal family has not held a marriage for many years, and even the saint is very concerned about Li Ju's marriage, and at the same time, he also feels that Li Hui and Li Jing are indeed not young. The saint has always been concerned about the marriage of his children, and has a penchant for early marriage, and longs for his children and grandchildren to become a family when they are thirteen or fourteen years old. At that time, the four brothers of Li Song all married the princess early, and even the three sisters of Princess Linchuan were married when they were just thirteen years old.

Perhaps because both the princess and the concubine were personally appointed, the saint who had always loved his children did not feel reluctant at all. In addition to expressing her opinions when deciding on the candidate, Empress Qin did not obviously reveal any affection. And except for Li Song tossing for a while, and Princess Anxing occasionally had some rumors, the children seem to have been doing well.

However, when it was the turn of the grandchildren, the saint did not interfere. As a result, Li Xin and Li Wei were both fifteen years old before getting married. It's just that there are too few people who are not married at Li Ju's age, and even he, who is a grandfather, feels distressed. Li Song is a person who can't be helped, and he is weird all day long, and he is lazy to summon him over to reprimand, so he took Li Heng, Li Tai and Li Kun to him and scolded him.

The core idea is: how can a father leave all the marriage of his children to his wife? How can you not care about the marriage of your children? Our Li family can't have a son who is over 18 years old and is not married, and a little lady who is 15 years old and not married!

After being scolded, the three Li Heng brothers looked at each other. The most direct result was that Li Tai returned home leisurely, looked at his young son, and ordered the Yan family to stuff Li Hui with four good-looking maids, and then went back to the room to sleep with trembling flesh. Li Hui was really helpless, so he had to take these maids back to the West Road and ordered Mother Zhang to find some work for them.

Mother Zhang looked at the four graceful maids, and then glanced at the little county king, who was not interested in the warm fragrance of nephrite, and sighed: "San Lang, there are enough people in the courtyard. They were all pampered and raised, and looking at their soft appearance, they didn't look like they could do rough work. Saburo might as well let them serve in the main room. ”

"There are enough people serving in the main house." Li Hui said lightly, "If they don't want to work in my yard, they will go and clean the courtyard next door." He has always disliked close contact with others, but now several personal servants around him have served since childhood, so they have not sent out. Rao is like this, one or two of them have been moved by bad intentions, and he has been ruthlessly driven out. The rest of them are already in their twenties, and they don't think anything wrong about him, and they behave in a disciplined manner, so he stays by his side.

The four maids were quietly raising their eyes to look at the handsome little county king, and when they heard this, their eyes immediately turned red, and they cried a little pear blossom rain. But the little county king never pity the jade, and with a twist of his brows, he ordered the servants and maids to drag them down: "When will the rules be practiced, and when will you come to serve me again." ”

The next day, Zhang's mother told Yan about it. Li Tai also listened to it next to him, and was very surprised: "San Lang doesn't like the person we picked?" Then let him pick his own, just pick in the house! "If the son is not fully enlightened and married, Grandpa will always carry them a lesson, and it is very rare for him to be a grandfather!

Yan Shi shook his head: "I said that he is still a childish mess, and it is still early to know the personnel." Anyway, there is no need to force him for the time being. Today, the crown princess will hold a banquet in the Peony Garden of Furong Garden, with the intention of choosing a suitable little lady for Aju, so let San Lang go with her. I can't say, he doesn't like this kind of maid, but he can look at the little lady of a famous family. ”

An hour or two later, Li Hui came to the Furong Garden with his mother Yan. In the vicinity of the Peony Garden, where the banquet was held, I happened to meet Li Jing, who accompanied the Wang family. Speaking of which, he ranked fifth among his cousins, only half a year older than Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, who ranked sixth. In this situation, it seems that the elders have made up their minds to quickly settle the marriage of the three cousins of the right age.

Li Hui suddenly felt that the road ahead was a little bleak, glanced at Li Jing, and found that he was also a little depressed. The two little brothers looked at each other with affection, and they felt a little sympathy. Yan and Wang looked at it in their eyes, feeling both interesting and a little helpless: "Cheer up, what is it like?" ”

After a short time, the two pairs of mother and son walked to the pavilion of the Peony Garden. It is a terrace with no four walls, and the bamboo curtain that blocks the sun is half-hanging, revealing the tulle tent inside. There are many shadows in the gauze tent, as if there is laughter, and the maids and maids around the pavilion behave demure and elegant, just bowing and standing like a picture scroll. Around the cool platform, there are clusters of peony and peony in full bloom, and occasionally a few curling shadows linger in it, as if they are concentrating on playing.

Li Hui came to Qingliang Taizhong without squinting and sat with Li Ju, who was already here. Li Jing looked around and found that there were only three of them, so he had to lean over in a depressed manner: "Ah Yi is two months older than me, why don't you see him coming?" What he said was the eldest son of Princess Linchuan, Zhou Yi, the eldest brother of the Zhou family.

"Don't worry about him, he won't be there in a while." Li Hui continued, looking at everyone in the banquet, "Aunt Linchuan hasn't come over yet." Of course, it is also possible that Zhou Yi will not come, so as not to steal the limelight of the three cousins and prevent them from seeing the little lady. Carefully speaking, although he is the son of a princess, he still can't be compared with the identity of their group of royal grandchildren.

Li Jing responded weakly, took a cherry and ate it, and said with a frowning face: "This cherry is clearly not ripe, astringent and sour, why is it all presented?" ”

After being reminded by him, Li Hui suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up slightly, and he lowered his voice and said: "Ah Jing, count the days, it should be the time to hold the Hibiscus Banquet for the new Jinshi?" When we entered the Peony Garden, I always felt that the apricot garden next door was very lively, should it be a hibiscus banquet today? "Although the sour cherries are not ripe, they are only edible in April, so they are often eaten with cheese. And when it comes to cherry feasts, we have to mention the hibiscus banquet of the new scholars.

It has become a tradition for new scholars to enter the Hibiscus Garden to hold a hibiscus banquet. The first banquet is usually held in the observation tower of the apricot garden, so it is also called the "apricot garden banquet". In this feast, the most famous game is to send a young and handsome flower explorer to visit the gardens and temples of Qujiang Pond and even the whole Chang'an, looking for flowers for everyone to see. At that time, the young flower explorers were busy exploring the flowers, while the people of Chang'an were busy admiring their handsome and heroic appearance, throwing flowers and fruits, and did not delay.

Li Jing thought about it carefully, slapped his palm and smiled: "Isn't that the case? I vaguely saw a lot of scholars in the country school lingering around, and they all seemed to want to see the new jinshi in this subject. I didn't expect that today was the day of the Hibiscus Feast, how could we miss this kind of excitement? ”

Hearing the words "Guozixue", Li Hui couldn't help but think of his friend who had not seen him for two or three days, and his heart was even more interested: "Why don't we go out and have a look later?" Peony and peony have been seen too much, it is better to take a look at what good flowers can be detected by exploring flowers. ”

Li Jing shook his head again and again, Li Ju swept the two cousins, and sighed: "Today's banquet is to see the future wife, how can you treat it as child's play?" Look at the new jinshi than this feast or not? You don't have to be unclear about the priorities and make the two uncles unhappy. ”

"Today's banquet is mainly for my cousin, and Ah Jing and I are just accompanying guests." Li Hui Zhengse said, "It's still early for the two of us to get married, and this kind of banquet can be held at any time." But the new Jinshi Hibiscus Banquet only has one time a year, and if you miss this time, the next time you will see this group of Jinshi, of course, you have to take a look at the Hibiscus Banquet. ”

He said it so reasonably, Li Ju was speechless. Li Jing slapped his palms again, and begged in a low voice: "Cousin, help us, as long as we can get out of the Peony Garden." We promise to come back to accompany my cousin after watching the new jinshi! ”

Li Ju had a gentle temperament and couldn't bear to refuse them, so he had to nod his head and agree. Then, he took his two cousins to see the elders, and after saluting the elders, he smiled and said: "The peonies and peonies outside are blooming very well, and the brothers want to go to enjoy the flowers, so I will take them and come back." ”

Su Shi and the others were just cousins, and the three of them wanted to take a closer look at those little ladies, so they agreed with a smile. In order to avoid their abrupt beauty, they also let the county lord of Changning and Qin Yun go together, so that they could accompany their sisters to enjoy the flowers.

The county lord of Changning took Qin Yun by the hand, ran to Li Hui's side with a smile, and whispered: "Later, if Brother Ace falls in love with someone, I'll go and see it for you!" ”

Li Hui raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: "You can take a look at your cousin's life first, I'm still early." ”

The county lord of Changning thought for a while, nodded and said: "A-Niang said that the vision of seeing people is also experienced. Brother is right, I'll look at my cousin first, and after accumulating experience, I'll help you see it! ”

Li Ju listened to it next to him, and couldn't help laughing: "Then there is Lao Yueniang." ”

A few people came out of the cool platform and shuttled among the flowers. Many little ladies who were admiring the flowers saw them from afar, and they all covered half of their hibiscus faces with fans, and looked at them tactfully. Li Hui and Li Jing don't squint and don't pay attention to it at all; Li Ju only glanced at it lightly, and did not show any nervousness.

However, the county lord of Changning and Qin Yun were extremely serious, carefully looking at the people, not to mention, but also whispering to comment on their clothes and demeanor, and they were picky from head to toe. But when they are young, no matter how picky they are, it is difficult for them to say anything, so they can only say things such as "I have inserted so many hairpins and hairpins, are you not afraid that they will fall down if you move", or "The golden light is so terrible that I can't open my eyes", or "I wear any color on my body, thinking it comes out of the dyeing house".

In this way, the group passed through the flowers, and soon crossed the cloister on the left. Behind the cloister is the place where the ladies of high-ranking officials and families have a banquet, and many little ladies are laughing inside. The other end of the cloister leads to the outside of the Peony Garden. Li Hui and Li Jing turned outside almost without hesitation, and Li Juzi stopped slightly and followed. The county lord of Changning and Qin Yun were stunned, and called softly: "Brother, you are wrong...... Gone wrong......"

Li Hui and Li Jing just didn't hear it, and continued to bury their heads and walk forward.

At this time, a few little ladies came in front of them, and they were startled by the three Langjun. As Li Ju passed by them, he gently confessed to his cousins. He has been a concubine for a long time, and his gestures are more polite and courteous, unlike the two little cousins, who are self-assured and will not notice this kind of detail. The little ladies stepped aside, and one of them raised his eyes slightly, looking at his back. He seemed to feel the gaze falling on him, and glanced back quickly.

Only then did the county lord of Changning and Qin Yun understand that the brothers did not come to see the little lady at all, but to sneak away. Qin Yun was still a little worried, but the county lord of Changning had already followed with great interest: "Just follow Brother A, it must be very interesting!" ”

So, before the feast of seeing each other had fully begun, one protagonist and two supporting characters all left. At this time, the Yan family and the other concubines on the Qingliang platform had not yet noticed, and they were still laughing and guessing what preferences the three Li Ju brothers had.
