After Xu Xian left the Zhilan Poetry Club in a carriage, he did not go home directly, but got off the carriage halfway.

Walking on the streets with a strong festive atmosphere, Xu Xian was full of interest.

This is the time when he has encountered the strongest ancient characteristics since he crossed over, hanging red lanterns, guessing charades, putting lotus lanterns, etc., children happily chased and played in the streets, and adults laughed and laughed.

In an open field on the edge of the street, a bonfire was blazing, and from time to time there was a deafening sound of firecrackers, which caused children to scream and adults to discuss the sound.

At this time, the gunpowder has not yet appeared, and the so-called firecrackers are the real primitive firecrackers, and the bamboo joints are put into the fire to burn, and the bamboo joints burst and make a deafening sound.

However, when he looked up and saw the jade plate hanging high in the sky, his mood involuntarily became depressed.

"The people of today do not see the ancient times and the moon, but this month used to shine on the ancients." He looked up at the bright moon and whispered to himself, he really missed "home", and an indescribable sense of loneliness enveloped him.

However, at this moment, countless people are searching for him all over the city.

It turned out that after the Liao family steward went to the Zhilan Poetry Club to ask Xu Xian to fight in the air, he immediately changed his route to Li Gongfu's house, but Xu Xian did not go home.

The housekeeper of the Liao family had no choice but to return to Shoushan Garden in an empty carriage and enter the banquet to report to Lord Liao.

When Lord Xiao Liao learned that Xu Xian was "missing", he was a little worried that Xu Xian would encounter an accident at night, and Lord Xuezheng Lu next to him wanted to please Lord Xiao Liao, so he had to find Xu Xian.

So, the Liao Mansion sent a family member to find Xu Xian, and Lord Xuezheng Lu repaired a letter and sent it to the yamen, asking Yang Zhixian to help send the official to find Xu Xian.

In order to let Yang Zhixian help find someone, Lord Xuezheng Lu deliberately made Xu Xian's "disappearance" more important, as if Xu Xian had been kidnapped by the bandits who had infiltrated the city.

Yang Zhixian also wanted to pat Xiao Liao's ass, and Xu Xian was Zhang Jingming's disciple, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the city to find people.

In addition, when Li Gongfu learned that Xu Xian was "missing", he was even more anxious, and he couldn't wait to turn the entire county over.

He constantly used the favors he had accumulated on weekdays to let the other officials mobilize their greatest strength to find Xu Xian.

Li Gongfu and the other officials mobilized their true energy, in addition to themselves being ordered to find people on the streets, they also secretly mobilized all the ruffians and gangsters to find Xu Xian.

For a while, everyone in the city was looking for Xu Xian, and everyone was shocked.

"Ah, Xu Xian is here!"

Xu Xian was looking at a lantern riddle and thinking about the answer to the riddle, when suddenly someone next to him yelled excitedly.

Before he could react, a large group of people nearby quickly surrounded him, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded him tightly in three layers and three layers outside, as if they were afraid that he would escape, and they all stared at him with eyes that seemed to eat people, and many people still rushed over when they heard the news.

"Y-What are you going to do?" Xu Xian was calm and calm, and his face couldn't help but change at this moment, thinking that he had committed some heinous crime.

Finally, a young man dressed in the costume of a servant squeezed in from the crowd and said to Xu Xian, "Young Master Xu, we have finally found you." ”

"I don't know what Brother Tolerance is looking for me?" Xu Xian's gaze swept over the matching knife on the officer's body.

The young official showed a kind smile and said, "Young Master Xu doesn't need to be nervous, we don't have any malicious intent. Legend has it that you are missing, and our lord ordered you to be found. Now that you're safe and sound, we're relieved. Speaking of which, I usually get a lot of care from Li Zhutou. Xu Gongzi, please come back to the yamen with me, and meet my lords. ”

After speaking, the young official made a gesture of please.

Xu Xian's heart was a little fixed, and he nodded in response and made a gesture of please: "Brother tolerance, please first." ”

Then he left with the young servant and walked towards the yamen.

Halfway through, he met Li Gongfu, who was sweating profusely and leading people to look for him.

"Hanwen, where did you go just now?" Seeing Xu Xian, Li Gongfu rushed up and asked.

He stretched out his hands and touched Xu Xian's body and patted it, making sure that Xu Xian was okay, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xian could only say apologetically: "I'm wandering around the street. I'm sorry brother-in-law, I should go home and talk to my sister first. ”

When Li Gongfu heard this, he couldn't help but tilt his head and pat his forehead, but he didn't know what to say.

"Well, it's fine. Let's go to the Yamen first. Li Gongfu could only say this.

On the way, Xu Xian said with a little weakness: "Brother-in-law, am I in trouble?" ”

"Not really. However, in order to find you, everyone was alarmed, and even Lord Yang was waiting for your news in the county office. Li Gongfu was a little speechless.

When he arrived at the Yamen, after Li Gongfu truthfully reported to Yang Zhixian with some trepidation, Yang Zhixian looked at Xu Xian and said with a smile: "Xu Xian, you really make it easy for this official to find for a while." ”

"My lord, this kid is young and ignorant, and he is a little playful, but he is unintentional...... "Li Gongfu hurriedly defended Xu Xian.

Yang Zhixian waved his hand, interrupted Li Gongfu's words, and said with a smile: "How can this official blame him? ”

He then said to Xu Xian amiably: "Xu Xian, Lord Liao is waiting for you at the Shoushan Poetry Club, why don't you hurry over?" ”

"Yes, sir." Xu Xian bowed his hand, and then left the hall with Li Gongfu.

Before sending Xu Xian to the carriage, Li Gongfu solemnly told Xu Xian in his ear: "Lord Xiao Liao is a big man in the sky, after you see him, you should wait carefully." Even if you can't please him, don't annoy him, you know? ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I know how to do it." Xu Xian had no choice but to nod and reply.

Seeing Xu Xian away, the officials around Li Gongfu congratulated him with a smile and said, "Li Zhutou, congratulations." made his wife and brother become the characters that Lord Xiao Liao pointed out to see, and in order to find him, he alarmed the entire county. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. I hope that Lord Xiao Liao will be angry after waiting for a long time. Li Gongfu was modest, but his face was red and full of pride, "I have worked hard tonight, brothers, tomorrow Gongfu will hold a banquet in Yuzhen Restaurant to thank you, no one is allowed to come!" ”

Yuzhen Restaurant is one of the few high-end restaurants in Qiantang County, where a banquet is held, and it is not possible to have dozens of taels of silver without a few hundred taels of silver.

If it was usual, Li Gongfu was resolutely reluctant, but now Xu Xian earned at least 1,500 taels of silver on a Mid-Autumn Festival night, so it was rare for him to be arrogant once.

When all the officials heard this, they all cheered excitedly.

Xu Xian finally arrived at Shoushan Garden in a carriage.

After getting out of the carriage, the housekeeper of Liao Mansion personally went out to greet him and invited Xu Xian all the way to the poetry meeting.

At this time, the atmosphere of the poetry meeting was strong, but as Xu Xian appeared, everyone stopped and turned their heads to watch Xu Xian walk in under the guidance of the big housekeeper of Liao Mansion, and there was silence.

was in the spotlight, Xu Xian had no stage fright, held his head high, and calmly followed the big housekeeper of Liao Mansion all the way to Lord Xiao Liao.
