Wu Meiniang felt a little big.

This Gu Panpan, how can the ghost not go away.

If it weren't for the fact that she looks really beautiful and refined, I would probably be mad.

"Miss Gu, Wu Langjun has no arrangements for a while, it just so happens that he has worked hard all day today, and Miss Gu has already prepared a dinner, so let him stay."

After Li Kuan finished speaking, he playfully gave Wu Meiniang a look.

This long-legged girl, if you want to say that the cafeteria is big and has no brains, forget it, but the front and back look the same, and there are no brains?

Hey, Wu Meiniang, a woman dressed as a man, is it because she stands from God's perspective, so she can see it?

Are everyone else face blind?

"Lord Wang, I have to go back to sort out these files at night."

Wu Meiniang has no interest in eating with Gu Panpan, and she is not a real man.

"It's okay, just let Xuan Ce sort it out, you've worked hard all day, just take a break."

It's rare to see Wu Meiniang's liveliness, Li Kuan naturally won't let her escape so easily.

I just don't know if Gu Panpan will continue to like her if she knows that Wu Meiniang is actually a beauty like her?

Adding some joy to the boring journey, Li Kuan rarely raised a hint of bad taste.

"Lord Wang!"

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Kuan with a resentful expression.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Kuan is now on business, and having a female dependent by his side will affect his image, Wu Meiniang would have wanted to directly tell Gu Panpan that I am a mother like you!

"Xuan Ce, I've been in Yangzhou for a few days, we haven't seen Yangzhong in the night, let's go, let's go around today."

……

In the backyard of Jiangdu County, Wu Meiniang sat there very awkwardly.

"Wu Langjun, our Yangzhou dishes, strict selection of materials, fine knife work, clear soup and mellow taste, thick but not greasy, light and tender, suitable for both north and south, will definitely not be worse than Chang'an. These dishes are all famous dishes in Yangzhou City, you can try them quickly. ”

Gu Panpan didn't think there was anything wrong with eating at the same table with Wu Zhao, a "man".

Datang was originally a relatively open era, and the Huaiyang area has a developed economy, and the people are relatively more enlightened.

In addition, as Gu Countyling's only daughter, she has been very arrogant since she was a child, and she is not comparable to ordinary women at all.

"Wu Langjun became the left arm and right arm of His Royal Highness the King of Chu at a young age, which is really admirable. This time following His Royal Highness the King of Chu to inspect the world, the wife and children at home must be very proud, right? ”

Mrs. Gu was also very interested in Wu Langjun, who fascinated her daughter, and personally accompanied her to dine.

On the contrary, Gu Lian sat on the main seat a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

My wife and daughter are here, if I say something they don't want to listen to, and I can't get off the stage directly, it will be very embarrassing.

However, I just watched my wife and daughter there......

Hey, it's so hard to be a man.

"Mrs. Gu, she was not married in her later life, and she has no wife or children at home. Thanks to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he is willing to follow His Royal Highness to walk the world in this life. ”

Wu Meiniang ate a few bites of food with chewing wax.

These dishes are not unpalatable.

If you don't compare it with the food of the Chu Palace, this is definitely a rare delicacy.

I heard that there are a few dishes that Gu Panpan cooked by himself, but I didn't expect this long leg to have this craft, which is really surprising.

However, following Li Kuan's side, her mouth has been raised, and with the current atmosphere, she really has no appetite.

"Wu Langjun is still not married? I don't know if there are brothers and sisters in the family? ”

Mrs. Gu heard that Wu Meiniang was still single, so she was even more interested.

And Gu Panpan saw that his mother asked a question that he wanted to ask, but was embarrassed to ask, and his eyes looked at Wu Meiniang motionlessly.

"There are only my mother and sister in the family, and there are no other relatives."

Mrs. Gu was even more satisfied.

In this case, if your daughter marries, it is not easy to suffer.

There are no brothers to compete for the family property, and there is no father-in-law to hinder the family, basically the family can have the final say.

As for whether the martial family has money or not, Mrs. Gu is not very worried.

No matter how rich you are, you don't have any money at home, right?

Since this Wu Langjun is deeply trusted by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he should not be in poverty.

As long as the person is good, that's enough.

Now it seems that except for Chang'an City, which is a little farther away from Yangzhou, the others are perfect.

This daughter of her own, who has been a master for so many years, has missed many young talents, and now she is fifteen years old, and she is about to become an old girl, so she finally takes a fancy to a reliable one.

"Wu Langjun, how long will you stay in Yangzhou?"

Gu Panpan looked at Wu Meiniang expectantly.

"This is still inconclusive, maybe two or three days, maybe ten days and a half months."

Wu Meiniang didn't lie, she really didn't know how long Li Kuan would stay here.

Although this question is probably what many officials in Yangzhou City want to know, no one has an answer.

Gu Panpan then asked, "Then your next step is to go to Suzhou, right?" ”

"If nothing else, the next stop is Suzhou."

"Great, my family also has some industries in Suzhou, it just so happened that my Aya asked me to inspect the property at home with the housekeeper to understand the situation, and then I will set off with you, and it can be regarded as a companion."

Wu Meiniang: ......

This Gu Panpan, the ghost will not go away.

I have to torture myself in Yangzhou, and I have to follow when I go to Suzhou, and it's endless.

"Miss Gu, are you only going to Suzhou this time?"

After Wu Meiniang asked this, she immediately had a bad premonition.

According to Murphy's Law, if a bad situation exists, then it will eventually occur.

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Meiniang's words were finished, Gu Panpan said a little shyly: "Suzhou is just one of the stations, our Gu family has industries in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, and when the time comes, after going to Suzhou, where will you go again, it depends on your itinerary Wu Langjun." ”

Gu Panpan almost didn't say this, wherever you go, I will follow you.

Gu Lian listened, his face full of black lines.

Wu Meiniang was also speechless for a while.

"Come, Wu Langjun, try the crucian carp in the Yangtze River, the meat is very delicious."

Mrs. Gu felt that the atmosphere in the air seemed to be a little subtle, and quickly transferred her words to the dining table.

Wu Meiniang ate a few bites hastily, but in the end she couldn't sit still and found an excuse to leave.

As soon as she left the county office with her front foot, Gu Panpan excitedly hugged Mrs. Gu's arm, "Auntie, how is it, I didn't say anything wrong, right?" Compared with this Wu Langjun, are those romantic talents in Yangzhou City all scum? ”

"Everything else is fine, but the people are not in Yangzhou. Moreover, with Wu Langjun's current status by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he would not agree to be a son-in-law no matter what. ”

As the only daughter of the Gu family, she has never been married, in addition to Gu Panpan's high vision, there is another very important reason, that is, Mrs. Gu has always had the idea of finding a son-in-law.

Although, her idea is not particularly firm, if after her daughter marries, one of the sons can be surnamed Gu, she can accept it.

However, after all, it still had some impact on Gu Panpan's marriage.

You must know that this son-in-law, in the Qin and Han dynasties, was equivalent to a slave.

What does that mean?

There is such a passage in "Liutao Lianshi": There are sons-in-law and captives, and those who want to hide their traces and become famous, gather as a pawn, and they are called dull people.

The general meaning is that there are people who have been recruited and captured, and those who ask to make a name for themselves and cover up their ugliness, they are organized into a team, called "people who are dull and obtuse".

At this time, the official treatment of sons-in-law was equal to criminals, fugitives, and merchants, and they were often sent to remote areas to serve hard labor or guard the frontier.

Li Bai, who everyone is familiar with, has a bad career in his life.

This is not only related to his arrogance, but also related to the fact that he once served as a son-in-law.

Even if Li Bai's wife Xu was an official eunuch, he didn't have the opportunity to get an official position.

It is conceivable how unreliable it is for the Gu family to recruit a son-in-law with outstanding words.

"A-Niang, you still mention this stubble, if you want to recruit a son-in-law again, your daughter will have to live alone."

"Okay, okay, if you don't mention it, you won't mention it. There is a Grand Canal from Yangzhou to Chang'an, but it is not really that far away. If you really fall in love with this Wu Langjun, A-Niang supports this family business. ”

……

Li Kuan's impression of Yangzhou City is still in the Lichun Courtyard where Wei Xiaobao grew up in "The Legend of Deer and Ding".

Now that I have arrived in Yangzhou City, I naturally want to see and see what is so extraordinary about the Qinglou that has been inherited for thousands of years in Yangzhou City.

"A few Lang Jun, please inside."

Li Kuo followed Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Wang Xuanwu to a famous local Qunfang Courtyard.

The eyes of these bustards are very poisonous, and at a glance you can see that a big fat sheep has come.

"The Jiangnan Water Pavilion, the pavilions and pavilions, are really extraordinary. The buildings of this group of Fangyuan are no worse than Tianxiang Pavilion. ”

Wang Xuance followed behind Li Kuan and entered the building.

Li Kuan didn't look for any private rooms, so he found a window seat in the lobby and sat down with Wang Xuance.

As for Xi Junmai and Wang Xuanwu, when they were outside, they were diligently guarding Li Kuan's side and would not participate in other things.

Safety first, Li Kuan didn't have to let Xi Jun buy them to sit down.

"Lang Jun, the Min Min girl in our Qunfang Courtyard, happened to hold a poetry meeting in the courtyard next to her today, and there were a lot of young talents from Yangzhou. The talented man who won the first place tonight has the opportunity to stay in Miss Minmin's building to stay overnight, do you want to move to the courtyard to have a look? ”

Qunfangyuan is very good at coming to things, and there will be some activities every once in a while.

It's a bit like a fan meeting for future stars.

Of course, in order to make the style appear more high-end, these activities are often based on elegant things such as poetry meetings or calligraphy and painting appreciation.

"Yes, then I'm going to see the young talents of Yangzhou City, what's extraordinary."

The influence of the imperial examination in Datang is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more scholars from the Jiangnan region, Li Kuan really wants to see what the so-called young talents in Yangzhou City look like.

In this era, going to the Qinglou is not a shameful thing.

It can even be said to be one of the daily lives of readers, and tonight's poetry meeting may really be a grand gathering of talented people in Yangzhou.

"Xuan Ce, let's go, let's go see this poetry club."

……

"Okay, Miss Minmin's song is really good, and it conveys everything that Zhang Langjun wants to express in the poem just now."

Li Kuan, led by the old bustard, came to the backyard.

The lights are brilliant here, and red lanterns made of whale oil candles are everywhere.

There were already dozens of personable-looking Lang Jun standing or sitting at tables everywhere.

And there was a small stage in front of the courtyard, and on the stage, a gorgeous woman was getting up and giving a salute to everyone.

"Min Min is ugly, Zhang Langjun is the leading talent in Yangzhou City, and it is also Min Min's luck to be able to compile his poems into tunes."

"Lord Wang, this Minmin girl is one of the four top names in Qunfang Courtyard, and she is known for playing the piano and dancing."

Wang Xuance was really a qualified subordinate, and Li Kuan had just sat down in the courtyard, so he inquired about some of the situation.

Of course, maybe it was the old bustard who looked at this extraordinary fat sheep and took the initiative to tell him.

"Born with such a flower and moon appearance, it is really a fairy descending to earth, if you come to the Buddha to see it, you have to be tempted. Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Li Kuan didn't have much interest in this Minmin girl, but when he came to this group of Fangyuan, he naturally wanted to see how beautiful the Jiangnan women were, so that the trip was in vain.

"You guy, you're so rude. Miss Minmin's poetry club, how could someone like you get involved? ”

As soon as Li Kuan's words fell, a dissatisfied voice sounded next to him.

Obviously, Li Kuan's words just now did not have any respect for Miss Minmin, which obviously made one of her fans dissatisfied.

Xi Junmai and Wang Xuanwu glanced at each other, and saw that Li Kuan didn't say anything, and stood there without saying anything.

Everyone has seen a lot of bodyguards in the TV series, and the scene of stepping forward to make decisions for their own Langjun at every turn is unlikely to happen in Datang.

Of course, there are exceptions to this case, where danger arises.

At this time, everyone's swords have been chopped over, is it possible to wait for the order to come forward to defend their master?

"What, is it wrong for me to say that Miss Minmin is pretty? Don't you think Miss Min Min is not beautiful? ”

In a war of words, who was Li Kuan afraid of?

With the scolding level of these literati in Datang, he can deal with everyone in the courtyard by himself.

To paraphrase, it's not that I look down on anyone! I look down on all of you!

"You...... When did I say that allergy girls are not pretty? ”

"Isn't that what you just meant?"

"I'm not!"

There were not many people in the courtyard, and Li Kuan quarreled with the Lang Jun next to him, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"Yulu, what's wrong?"

Soon, someone came over to ask.

"Brother Zhang, this guy was disrespectful to Miss Minmin just now, I said a word to him, but he hit him back."

Only then did Li Kuan know that the handsome boy who looked personable just now, but in fact estimated that he had no ability, was called Yu Lu.

"This Lang Jun looks a little blind, shouldn't he be from Yangzhou?"

Li Kuan's accent is a standard Guanzhong accent, which is still significantly different from what people in Yangzhou say.

Therefore, these people can easily tell that Li Kuan is from other places.

A scholar from other places dared to be presumptuous here, and many people immediately felt a little dissatisfied with Li Kuan in their hearts.

"That's right, I was originally from Dengzhou, and now I come to Yangzhou to purchase supplies."

After so many years in the Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan is now lying, and his face has not changed.

"I heard that the Dengju Prefecture has relied on the trade with the Wa Kingdom, Silla, Baekje, etc., in recent years, and it is very prosperous, and it has the title of Little Yangzhou in the Northland.

"yes, the nouveau riche, I think I'm amazing."

Yangzhou, as one of the few prosperous ports in the south of the Yangtze River, travels from south to north, and many goods have to be transferred here, and Yangzhou's local industry and commerce are also relatively developed.

Therefore, there are many businessmen in Dengzhou who come here to buy goods, and this situation is also well known.

"Yangzhou's young talents, that's the pattern?"

Li Kuan saw several scholars insinuating there, and immediately went back.

"A few Lang Jun, it's better to give Min Min a thin face, everyone who comes is a guest, I will play another song "West Lake Beauty" for everyone, the right is to throw bricks and lead jade, and Min Min still wants to see your masterpieces for a while."

Although this Zhao Minmin is in Qunfang Courtyard, he has a dignified atmosphere.

The scene in the courtyard, she naturally saw it.

This is not to talk about what is right or wrong, as long as everyone doesn't make trouble and opens this poetry meeting peacefully, for her, it will be over.

So she stood up and sludge.

"Hmph, for Miss Minmin's sake, I don't have the same knowledge as you."

Na Yu Lu threw down a sentence and ran to a table far away from Li Kuan and sat down.

And the young man known as Zhang Langjun was Zhang Fan, the author of the poem that Zhao Minmin sang just now, and he also snorted arrogantly and found a seat to sit down.

"Lord Wang, the pattern of this Jiangnan genius is really a little worse."

Wang Xuance couldn't help but whisper.

"It's normal to linger in the land of Qinglou, and to be fascinated by a few so-called top brands, and the pattern is almost there. However, after all, Jiangnan is an outstanding person, and he should still be some extraordinary characters. ”

Since the introduction of the imperial examination, the number of jinshi from the south has far exceeded that from the north.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was even a matter of simply releasing the list from the north and south separately and selecting the Jinshi separately.

This is because if they are put together to compete, there will be a situation where no one in the north will be lifted.

This made Li Kuan think of the college entrance examination in later generations, if there is no regional difference in the number of students enrolled in the national unified examination, then it seems that there are some weak provinces in the college entrance examination, and it is estimated that few people can enter Qingbei.

"The beautiful scenery of the West Lake in March ......"

With the beautiful singing voice of Miss Minmin coming from the stage, the courtyard finally quieted down.

But who knows if a moment of silence will be a sign before a storm?
