Liu Zhigu's mansion is in the northernmost part of the southern city, there are more than a dozen squares in the southern city, among which Wangfeng Fang is the most famous, including the Yang family, many noble families, their main family mansions, are in this square.
Li Xun followed Li Xiao to Wangfeng Fang, looking around, the environment here is beautiful, the trees are shady, and the square is full of courtyards of the official eunuch family, most of which are small and exquisite, elegant and chic.
Now is the time to go to the Yamen for work, and a large part of the pedestrians on the streets in Wangfengfang are wearing official uniforms, and the others are also dressed in brocade and jade, and they look like they are from rich and noble families.
"Boss Li, haven't you been here?"
Looking at Li Xun looking around there, Li Xiao couldn't help but ask strangely.
Wangfengfang is still very famous in the capital, it is a tourist attraction, some outsiders come to the capital, hear about this place, will come here, go around, feel the power and wealth here.
"This place is not bad."
Li Xun's face turned slightly red, he didn't answer positively, it was embarrassing to say it, he had lived in Fengjing for six or seven years, and Li Xun really hadn't been to many places.
Li Xiao smiled, didn't ask more, and continued to lead the way in front.
After a while, the two came to a huge mansion covering a very wide area, in front of the gate, two majestic stone lions that are more than one zhang high, and at the height of the gate, a horizontal plaque, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing read, 'Sui State Mansion.' ’
Liu Zhigu's family is also an old famous family, but the most glorious period, or Liu Zhigu's great-grandfather Liu Qu's generation, that period, the Liu family, which has always been a document heirloom, is a famous general who can fight well, in the Wuzong Dynasty made great achievements, when the Hu people invaded, Liu Qu turned the tide, with weak soldiers to defend the gateway to Huizhou, to win precious time for the imperial court, is the biggest hero of the complete turn of the whole war, although Liu did finally coexist with the city, died on the battlefield, but Wuzong did not forget his merits, Posthumously named him the Duke of Sui and passed on for three generations.
In front of Liu's Mansion, it is quite lively, people come and go, from time to time there are handsome sons, riding tall horses, and the famous lady is riding a carriage.
Li Xun asked in a low voice, "These people came early?" ”
"Of course, the Minglan Poetry Conference is in the capital, in the circle of Miss Gongzi, but it is very famous, the time is uncertain, sometimes once a month, sometimes once every three or five months, the last poetry meeting, four months ago, was in the Yang family."
Li Xiao smiled, then approached Li Xun and said mysteriously: "Talented and beautiful, it is said that it is a poetry meeting, in my opinion, it is a blind date meeting, look at the right eye, good things come in pairs, hehe." ”
Li Xun nodded, that is, a party like a party, but in appearance, it should be more literary.
"Why is it called the Minglan Poetry Club?"
"This poetry club was first initiated by Princess Minglan and has existed for many years, although Princess Minglan is no longer there, the poetry club will continue."
The two did not rush in, and stood not far away, talking.
With the passage of time, there are more and more people, and there are nearly a hundred carriages parked densely in the open space in front of the gate at this time, many brightly dressed coachmen and subordinates are gathering together to talk to each other, and there are many guards in military uniforms, anyone can guess that a grand party is being held in the house.
"Third brother, come here."
At this time, not far away, someone saw Li Xiao, hurriedly waved his hand, and shouted loudly.
Li Xiao said to Li Xun: "Boss Li, let's go over." ”
Li Xun nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
The entrance of the house is quite lively, more than a dozen handsome young men and women are standing on the side of the door, and they are not in a hurry to enter, they should be waiting for someone, they are gathered together, they are whispering something, most of the men are in their early twenties, dressed in gorgeous brocade robes, everyone has red lips and white faces, and they are graceful.
There are also a lot of women, all of them are very young, many people wear high-waisted long skirts, shoulder draped with colored silks, headbands with gold hairpins and jade shakes, red makeup on the face, holding light Luo small fans, looking left and right, looking gorgeous and colorful.
On either side of the stairs stood a dozen tall servants, led by a butler, who greeted the guests.
"Third brother, when did you come back?"
A group of seven or eight people greeted them, five men and three women, the leader of the man, a little older, twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed extraordinarily, with a proud face.
Li Xiao smiled: "I just came back yesterday, and I haven't had time to look for you." ”
Li Xiao has an elder brother and a sister, who are the third in the family, and in his circle of friends, everyone calls him the third brother.
"Boss Li, his name is Gao Feng, his father is the history of Hezhou Thorn, and the third uncle is the transfer envoy of Lingnan Dao, in my circle, his background is average."
Li Xiao whispered to Li Xun, and then said loudly to Gao Feng: "This is the famous Li Xun Li Boss, now the governor of Wuzhou, the deputy envoy of Longyou West Dao, my eldest brother, you kid must not be rude." ”
Li Xun?
The faces of the people present changed slightly, they had never dealt with Li Xun, but they had already heard of Li Xun's reputation, and the eldest brother among several famous sons in the capital was planted in the hands of this person.
"It turned out to be Brother Li Xun Li, and the younger brother is polite here."
Gao Feng hurriedly bowed and saluted, and several other young ladies also called Brother Li one after another.
Li Xun stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "You are Li Xiao's friend and brother, that is, my Li Xun's friend and brother, between brothers, you don't need to be so polite." ”
Hearing Li Xun say this, Li Xiao suddenly smiled and laughed: "Boss Li is right, everyone is brothers, there is no need to be so polite." ”
A few people chatted politely, and a good-looking girl on the side kept staring at Li Xiao, with a strong love in her eyes, at this time she interjected and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Li Xiao, you promised to take me to Wangfeng Pond for rowing, it's been more than a year, when will you honor this promise?" ”
Li Xiao coughed dryly twice, and said with a haha: "Isn't this always in Longyou, there is no chance, after a while, when you are free, I will definitely take you to Wangfeng Pond to row." ”
The girl reluctantly said, "When, give a definite time?" ”
"This... Let me think. ”
Li Xiao pretended to be confused, Gao Feng, as a good brother, knew that Li Xiao had no meaning to this girl, so he interrupted and led everyone into Liu's mansion.
Li Xiao deliberately kept his distance from the girl, Li Xun saw it on the side, and joked with a low smile: "People like you, there are also people who like them?" ”
Li Xiao said with a smile: "There are many people who like me, Boss Li, I am not as good as you in the war, in that regard, you are far worse than me." ”
Li Xun smiled and didn't say these bastard words to him. 2k reading web
