The north of Wuling Creek in Wu County, is the location of the Gu family, and is called the North Guli by the people of Yangzhou, there is a Wuling Bridge on the stream, the bridge body of pure granite, which is extremely solid. After crossing the bridge, dozens of courtyards with Jiangnan characteristics constitute the foundation and luck of the Gu family's main vein for more than 100 years. Vertical and horizontal, is the Gu family of the remaining veins of the branches and reproduction of the village and town, divided into East Guli and West Guli, more than 1,000 people, can be regarded as a flourishing time.

Looking from afar, the Gu family's house is like a tiger with wings, lying on the bank of the stream, even people who don't understand feng shui can also feel the essence of heaven and earth contained in it. Approaching, the layers are tired, and the Danying is carved into the tree, although it is not extravagant, but it contains deep heritage. Xu You traveled all the way and saw countless guests who came to congratulate Gu Yun, bustling and lively. Waiting for the Zhumen, hundreds of children in silk clothes were divided into about the same age, the same height, the same delicate appearance, with a smile on their faces, generous behavior, articulate and orderly, bringing different guests to different places to rest and wait.

This is the unique style of the family, and it often makes people feel the prosperity and power of the gate valve in the casual details.

"Wow, what a magnificent house, much bigger than our Mingyu Mountain."

Since Fang Sinian entered the ninth grade, it has been like opening a hanging in the past two years, and his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and now he is already a master of the seventh grade. Not only that, but the body has gradually grown, the legs are slender and straight, the skin may have been affected by Bodhi Gong, from dark to white and transparent, and the sun shines with the luster of jade, which can be called slim and elegant, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. But his temperament is still simple and natural, and he has always maintained that little bit of his own heart, and he has not been tarnished by the world.

Su Xi Chounu took Xu You's hand and pouted: "What Sister said is not right, even the emperor's palace is not as good as Ming Yushan!" She is wearing a royal blue pleated skirt, her eyes are like blue, the bridge of her nose is high, and her exotic appearance is completely dressed as a girl from the Southern Dynasty.

Dong Solstice pinched her face and said, "You can't talk nonsense, beware of being listened to and causing trouble for Xiaolang." North Guli is the Gu family's main residence, of course, it is not too luxurious, but it is also one of the few mansions in Yangzhou. However, if it is compared to the style of Mingyu Mountain, it is not necessarily ......."

Xu You looked at the crowd in front of him and said with a smile: "The winter solstice is a good thing, you went up the mountain late, and you haven't seen the scenery of Guo Mian in Shiming Yushan." If it hadn't been banned by the imperial court later, valuable objects would have been looted, and many mansions would have been deserted and dilapidated, and the momentum of countless money piled up was not comparable to Gu's house. ”

"Hmph, that's not good!" Su Xi Chou Nu insisted: "Anyway, where there is Xiaolang, it is the best!" ”

Fang Sinian smiled and said: "The ugly slave has a sweet mouth, no wonder Xiaolang likes you the most." I don't like a stupid girl......"

This time the ugly slave was embarrassed, so he hurriedly hugged Fang Sinian, and said: "Good sister, how can there be, Xiaolang is obviously the same to us." ”

When laughing, a person hurriedly ran out of the main hall, went straight to Xu You, and said: "Weizhi, you can be regarded as waiting for you, the seventh brother told me to entertain you before I took over, and you just went back to the house to go around, and you came......

This person is Gu Xi, the word Shuangyu, is Gu Yun's cousin, known as a talent, when Qiantang Lake Yaji Fighting Poems, he was also one of the ten people who ended up, and Xu You is an old acquaintance.

"Brother Shuangyu!"

The two sides saluted, and Gu Xi led him to the lobby. Behind them, a few young scholars walked over, gorgeously dressed and looking forward to flying, one of them recognized Gu Xi, and even became curious about Xu You's identity - there are too many guests today, most of them are led by children, and only those with noble status can be personally received by the children of the Gu family.

"Who is this man? Let Gu Shuangyu greet him personally? ”

"Look at the wind god, it should be from a prestigious family, but I don't know if it's a ...... in the capital."

"You're from out of town, aren't you? This is Wei Zhilangjun, known as the light of the night, the world's talent is ten buckets, nine buckets are all in the abdomen, and his natural temperament is different from ordinary people! It was a local scholar in Yangzhou who spoke, and when he mentioned Xu You, his face was full of pride, and he couldn't hide it.

"Huh? It turns out that he is Xu You! ”

"Nine Bucket Talents?" Someone said disdainfully: "Hmph, a few years ago, I passed through Yixing, and I heard that Xu Younai was a vulgar and unliterate person, and he loved to make friends with chickens and dogs. ”

"From this, it can be seen that everyone in the world thinks that Jiangzuo is my Great Chu Maoyuan Wenhua Resort, but it is just a vain name!"

"That is, compared to Jinling, whether it is Wu County or Huiji, it is just a rural place, where can moral articles be born!"

When he got angry, the scholar said angrily: "The world's articles are out of Yangzhou, if Jinling doesn't occupy the scenery of the imperial capital, you don't have to learn and don't have skills, and you are worthy of talking about moral articles?" ”

Seeing that there was about to start a dispute, a young man who looked like a steward came over, folded his hands and bowed, smiled, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the wedding of my little man, the nobles have come from afar, and the whole house is grateful. ”

Everyone just sobered up, if it really made trouble, it would offend the Gu family heavily, snorted coldly at each other, and walked separately to the house, the two groups of people were like two rivers, traveling in parallel, each not blending.

This is the scholar race, although they are in the same class, they are not monolithic with each other, the difference between high and low, the difference between regions, the difference between relatives and relatives, and the difference between political opinions, as if a huge chasm begins to divide from the inside, and sooner or later it will be eliminated by history!

After the two courtyards, Gu Xi pointed to the hall in front and said, "This is the place where the wedding will be held, and as soon as the bride arrives, I will invite Weizhi to watch the ceremony." ”

"Good!"

Xu Youke followed the master and followed Gu Xi to the fifth room on the left side of the main hall, where there were eighteen carved beast-patterned mahogany tables, and behind each table stood two beautiful maids, elegantly arranged without losing joy. There are dozens of rooms like this, which are enough to arrange the guests who attend the wedding today, but the closer you get to the sides of the main hall, the more it represents status and dignity, if Xu You is not too close to Gu Yun, with his current status, he is actually not qualified to come to this house. In addition, there was also an open-air dining table in the courtyard at the back, densely packed for the retinue of nearly thousands of slaves to rest and eat.

Xu You entered the table, Gu Xi sat on the side to accompany him, Qingming declined Gu Xi's invitation and insisted on standing behind Xu You. Winter Solstice, Fang Sinian and Su Xi Chou Nu were arranged to another house and sit with the female guests, Xu You certainly didn't mind the same table between men and women, and he didn't mind being respectful and lowly, but this was Gu's place, there were other scholars in the room, more things were better than less, and told Dong Solstice two sentences, she was smart and clever, and she should take care of Fang Sinian and the ugly slave.

There were already thirteen or fourteen people sitting in the room, all of them young people, and the Gu family must have considered it when arranging the seats, and tried to arrange the official, the elderly, and the family friends together to avoid embarrassment and disputes. Gu Xi first introduced Xu You, and two of the eight people were known to Xu You, one was Zhang Tong of the Zhang family, and the other was Zhu Cong of the Zhu family.

Zhu Cong and Xu You had old grudges, kneeling on the futon and arching their hands lukewarmly. Zhang Tong was also unusual, standing up and acting politely, but he didn't talk much, which was inconsistent with his usual temperament.

"This is Zhang Yu, Zhang Tong's eldest brother."

Xu You looked over, Zhang Tong pursed his lips, and suddenly blinked. It turns out that this kid has learned a lot because of his brother.

"Zhang Langjun!"

Xu You saluted, Zhang Yu got up, and saluted back: "Xu Langjun!" He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a resolute expression, and at first glance, he is not smiling, no wonder Zhang Tong is afraid of him.

"This is the son of Xin'an Yang Taishou, Yang Gu ......"

Xin'an Taishou Yang Lu collects the authentic works of "Recommended Season Straight Table" and "He Jie Table", Gu Yun used "Luo Shen Futu" not long ago to exchange for "Recommended Season Straight Table" from Yang Lu, as the reason for Bo Li Xianji's smile to give it to Xu You, but later Li Xianji suddenly poisoned and assassinated, and the matter was temporarily put down.

"This is Zheng Langjun of Yidu County......"

"This is Huo Langjun of Yuzhang County......"

"This ...... Uh, this Lang Jun, I look at the face of the student, dare to ask? ”

When the last person was introduced, Gu Xi suddenly felt strange, the people in this house were all arranged by him according to the list, how could there be no one who didn't know?

The man's face was like a crown of jade, his body was slender, he sat upright, but he exuded a proud momentum, and said with a faint smile: "My surname is Xiao, and I am from Lanling." ”

Lanling Shaw?

Although the Lanling Xiao clan is one of the four top gate valves in the Chu State, after Xiao Xunqi took control of the Sili Mansion, he picketed hundreds of officials and killed too much, and the other surnamed gate lords had more respect for the Xiao clan than for various reasons, in order to avoid suspicion, they had very little contact with each other over the years. Gu Xi's face changed slightly, he never thought that the Xiao family would send someone to attend Gu Yun's wedding, I heard that the middle book ordered Liu Ning's son to get married, and the Xiao family only sent a congratulatory gift, but no one was present.

Gu's face, how can it compare to Liu's?

The uneasiness in his heart made Gu Xi sit like pins and needles, looking at this person's demeanor, he should be an important person in the Xiao family, with such fanfare, it is unknown if he chose to come to the door today, or there will be a big disaster.

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Xi was about to say goodbye immediately, at this moment, Qingming leaned over to Xu You's ear and said two words, Xu You's eyes flashed a sharp light, stretched out his hand to stop Gu Xi, and asked that Xiao Langjun: "It is said that the Lanling Xiao clan has five dragons, and the look is high under the feet, I don't know which of the five dragons?" ”

When the man smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if the bright moon was in the sky, and the color was beautiful, like a woman, but when he looked at Xu You, his eyes were like sharp blades, revealing a bit of might.

"In Xia Xiao Ling, not one of the five dragons, but the unproductive son of the Xiao family, compared with Xu Langjun's fame, it is no different from a candle in the moonlight, why bother?"
