In the Hou Mansion, in a spacious and gorgeous study in the West Garden, an old man was sitting in front of the bookcase.

The old man was gray, with a long beard, neatly trimmed, wearing a luxurious and high-grade bright yellow brocade robe, and his eyebrows revealed a noble atmosphere.

At this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, playing with a red sandalwood bracelet left and right, and holding an antique scroll in his right hand, looking at it intently.

At the bottom of the scroll are engraved three small characters:

Footsteps sounded outside the door, Yu Li walked in, and saw Yu Moshan saluting respectfully.

Jing Yuanhou hurriedly put the scroll in his hand into the drawer on the side, slowly raised his head and asked, "How is the dinner party prepared?"

Yu Li replied: "It is ready, and it is ready to open at any time." ”

glanced at the bookcase and continued: "I heard that a book written by a kite has been widely circulated in the market recently, can Master Hou buy one?"

"Huh?"

Jing Yuanhou frowned slightly and asked, "Is there a picture?"

"No. ”

"No picture, no look!"

Jing Yuanhou took a sip of tea, as if he remembered something, and after a little hesitation, he asked, "Is that kid named Gu Jiang here?"

"It should be almost there, and I have already told my subordinates to keep an eye on it. ”

Jing Yuanhou nodded, and asked again, "You have seen him, what do you think of this person?"

Yu Li was silent for a long time, and finally spit out four words from his mouth: "Despicable, shameless." ”

Jing Yuanhou laughed out loud, and then continued to ask, "Then what do you think of his cultivation?"

Yu Li said: "I have verified, when this person first came to Chongyun Academy half a year ago, he did only have the cultivation of a spirit scholar, but only a first-grade fire spirit vein, and I don't know why, it only took half a year, and he was able to break through to the Spirit Sect immediately." In my opinion, this man must have some secrets. ”

Jing Yuanhou was silent for a while, and then sighed lightly and said: "Since it is a secret, it is not so easy to know, I am afraid that it will take a lot of trouble." ”

Yu Li said: "After all, this person is young, and he seems to be a little greedy for money. ”

Jing Yuanhou said with a smug smile on his face: "It's good to be greedy for money, as long as it can be used for me, the few places that enter the Endless Land next year will save a lot of trouble." ”

Yu Li showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then said, "It turns out that Master Hou hit this idea. ”

Jing Yuanhou said proudly: "Then what do you think? Zhonggu Xinghai of Chongyun Academy is easy to talk to, and she can send it away by giving some benefits, but Kong Miaoling King has a special status, if she doesn't want to let go, this quota is really a bit troublesome." I heard that this kid has a good relationship with Kong Miao, if I can win him over, won't the matter be solved?"

Jing Yuanhou explained the matter very thoroughly, but Yu Li became confused.

"With Miss's current cultivation, it is not difficult to grab a place, why does Master Hou have to go to such great lengths?"

Jing Yuanhou snorted lightly and said, "What do you know? If Lan Yue enters the Endless Land, there is only one person's strength, even if you cultivate to a high level, you will not be able to reach the whip, how can it compare to holding all five places in your own hands?"

Yu Li knew what to say, and was about to say something more, when a subordinate suddenly ran in and reported: "Master Hou, the young man named Gu Jiang has arrived at the Hou Mansion. ”

"Bring him first, oh, wait a minute, let Miss bring him. Jing Yuanhou casually ordered.

A strange expression appeared on the face of the subordinate, and he hesitated for a while and said, "But...... But he didn't come alone. ”

Jing Yuanhou frowned slightly, and said with some puzzlement: "Then let the others in the front living room later." ”

"I can't sit down in the living room......"

"What?"

Jing Yuanhou sneered and said, "Can he still bring a dozen or twenty people?"

The subordinate shook his head and said, "I just counted, a total of two hundred and forty-six people. ”

"Poof!"

A mouthful of tea squirted out of Jing Yuanhou's mouth, and his whole face turned dark green.

Gu Jiang led a large group of people, followed the steward, and swaggered into the Hou Mansion.

The huge Jingyuan Marquis Mansion has been magnificent from the outside, but I didn't expect that after entering, there is a lot of things inside, with pavilions and pavilions carved beams and painted buildings, small bridges and flowing water are beautiful and pleasant.

Including Gu Jiang, most of the people have never seen such a scene, although Sun Xiaoyi kept waving his flag and shouting vigorously to maintain order, but everyone walked and looked around, turning heads and ears from time to time, making a mess.

Gu Jiang also felt funny when he saw it, he originally thought that Sun Xiaoyi looked like a tour guide, and there would be a large group of tourists, if he had a megaphone in his hand, it would be considered a good job.

They crossed a small bridge and came to a stop in a garden, but the steward stopped them and said, "You will be here for a while, and I will arrange for you to enter the banquet hall at once." ”

With a finger of his hand, a castle-like building not far in front of him looked particularly magnificent, but he didn't expect it to be the banquet hall that the steward said.

Gu Jiang was not in a hurry, so he simply accompanied Luan Su to enjoy the flowers and plants in the garden.

Although it has entered the cold winter, the flowers and plants in the garden are very different, and many are in full bloom, and the flowers are delicate and beautiful.

Luan Su loves flowers and plants the most, a pair of bright eyes linger among the flowers without blinking, and his bright smile is no less than the blooming flowers.

Gu Jiang saw that he liked these, and he was about to pick one casually, the steward hurriedly ran over to stop Gu Jiang, and said uncertainly: "You can't pick it, this flower is called Gu Panshengjin, but it is a precious variety of Sentang Kingdom, even if it is a leaf, you can't afford to pay for it." ”

Gu Jiang glanced at the man angrily, and then his gaze fell on a green vine beside him.

"You can't touch this, this vine is a dragon play green sunflower ......"

The steward Rory said a lot, in short, no plant in the garden can be touched, any plant is a precious variety, and no one can afford to pay for it.

Gu Jiang was very unhappy, but he didn't bother to worry about his subordinates, so he walked towards the banquet hall with people.

didn't go far, that senior sister Yu Lanyue suddenly appeared in the garden, looking at the back of Gu Jiang and the others leaving with cold eyes, her pretty face was cold and abnormal.

"Dad doesn't know what to think, so I have to invite this kid over!"

Secretly speaking, Yu Lanyue's palm suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, and a peanut-sized bead with a dazzling red brilliance suddenly appeared in his palm.

After thinking for a while, Yu Lanyue handed the bead to a subordinate on the side, and whispered in the other party's ear.

The man had a wicked smile on his face and nodded his head again and again.

Gu Jiang had already walked to the door of the banquet hall, and many people entered the banquet hall one after another, but when they arrived at Gu Jiang and Kong Miao, they were stopped by the doorman.

"This ...... This leopard can't be brought in. ”
