Chapter 273: Trio
Li Xiluan is not an ordinary person, as soon as he heard the old man's words, he chuckled and took the gift list, and said with a smile: "The old man is invited, and the younger generation serves a cup of tea." ”
When the old man saw Li Xiluan accept the gift list, he seemed to be relieved, smiled and waved his hand: "The old man is just a subordinate, licking his old face and giving gifts, and he is not qualified to drink tea." ”
After speaking, the old man seemed to be muddy, but in fact, his brilliant gaze kept rolling on Li Xiluan's face, especially when he saw the heroic spirit between her eyebrows, he smiled quietly, and was about to turn around and leave.
Li Xiluan couldn't do something foolish, so he hurriedly chased after him, smiled with a pretty face but quietly blocked the old man's way, and said: "The old man is polite, drink a cup of tea and sit down, otherwise Liyuan will say that I neglect the elders." In fact, before she chased down, she had asked Yu'er to inform Wei Qiao to go. This matter is strange everywhere, and it is a sensitive period, so Li Xiluan has to be cautious.
The old man showed a knowing smile on his face, turned his head to look at Li Xiluan and said, "There is no need to interrogate, it doesn't hurt to tell you, it was sent by an old friend of your father in the past, and you will understand when he arrives." ”
Li Xiluan's pretty face changed slightly, and her heart wandered, she naturally knew that her father was coming, but how could the people in front of her know, she hadn't heard her father mention that there were any other prominent 'old friends' in Jinling?
Facing the old man's sharp eyes, Li Xiluan smiled lightly, glanced at the fish that hurriedly ran back, and said with an impassive smile: "Then you should come in and sit, otherwise my father will blame me for not staying to serve the elders." ”
The old man looked very old, but he was deaf and clear-sighted, and he listened to the hurried steps of the fish, and smiled and did not speak.
Yu'er quietly glanced at the old man, pulled Li Xiluan aside, and whispered cautiously with a small face: "Miss, I saw Chang Ge's carriage outside. ”
Li Xiluan's pretty face suddenly changed when she heard this, she glanced at the old man, and said in a low voice: "Are you right?" ”
Yu'er nodded hurriedly and said, "It's right." ”
Li Xiluan frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think in her heart, this relationship between Chang Ge Lao should be in Chu Shan, but with Chu Shan's face, she can't let Chang Ge Lao prepare a gift for her, right? Could it be Liyuan, but if it was Liyuan, wouldn't there be no greeting?
Li Xiluan instinctively felt that there was a problem here, and thought about it, turned around and walked towards the old man with a smile, and said, "Old man, ......"
"Madam, Master Fu Mingli is here." Before Li Xiluan finished speaking, a little maid outside the courtyard hurriedly ran in and whispered in front of Li Xiluan.
Obviously, the little girl who can run in so calmly and panickedly must be Li Xiluan's henchman.
Fu Mingli? Li Xiluan's pretty face changed immediately, she naturally didn't know Fu Mingli, but what made her strange was that Fu Mingli, who had never dealt with her, came here?
Li Xiluan smiled apologetically at the old man, and said to the fish: "Please sit down for a while, and I'll invite Master Fu to come in." "After all, Fu Mingli is the son of Shoufu, and he has also been an official, and few people call him the fourth young master of Fu Gongzi and the like, most of them call him Master Fu, although this title is thousands of miles away from the actual role of his younger brother's father.
The old man frowned, seemed to groan, and nodded at Li Xiluan.
When Li Xiluan saw that the old man agreed, he exhaled quietly in his heart, and while walking out of the courtyard, he thought - today seems to be very abnormal.
But before Li Xiluan walked out of the yard, Fu Mingli swaggered in, and when he saw Li Xiluan, he immediately shouted, "Oh, brother and sister, it's better to see than to hear, and it's even more famous to meet, my Liyuan brother is really a good eye." As he spoke, Master Fu, who was in his early forties, walked in like a young man in his twenties.
Listening to this man who could be her father calling her younger siblings, Li Xiluan felt awkward for a while, but said with a smile on her face: "Master Fu's visit to the cold house is really full of brilliance, which makes the Wei family infinitely glorious. She was comfortable with this kind of hypocrisy and politeness, but in the face of Fu Mingli, she was a little nervous.
Fu Mingli looked up, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Brother and sister said this, I have a deep friendship with Brother Wei, and it is normal to move around from time to time." As he said this, his eyes drifted in the courtyard.
Everywhere is full of red flowers, full of red stripes, and the whole yard is full of all kinds of boxes and boxes, just like a posture of proposing.
Fu Ming was thinking about the words confessed by his father who specially called him over early this morning, and his heart was full of strangeness. Before he came, he muttered in his heart, how could Wei Qiao's marriage be so face-saving, and when he saw the Chang Song carriage outside the Wei Mansion Courtyard, he was shocked in his heart.
In Daqi, there are only a handful of people who can send heavy gifts to the two elders!
Li Cheng, Li Xiluan?
Fu Mingli is a straw bag, but he is not stupid, he quickly contacted these two names, vaguely familiar, and regretted that he didn't check it carefully before he came, and then estimated in his heart that the fifth child must have known something and didn't tell him. Fu Mingli's face changed, and his eyes flashed with resentment.
Li Xiluan looked at Fu Mingli's strange expression, his heart was full of doubts, and he still smiled and said: "Lord Fu, please, I have sent someone to call Liyuan, you can sit down and have a cup of tea." ”
Fu Mingli couldn't think of a reason in his heart, glanced at Li Xiluan, and said with a laugh: "Okay, my brother and sister will accept the gift first and then drink tea." With that, he raised his hands and slapped them in the air. Soon, from the courtyard gate behind him, several people in subordinate costumes carried all kinds of boxes and bags into the door, and then filled the only remaining steps in front of Li Xiluan's small building, and Li Xiluan and Yu'er were forced to stand at the door.
Fu Mingli's face was full of smugness that he couldn't hide, looked at Li Xiluan, who was a little stunned beside him, handed over the gift list in his hand, and said loudly: "Two pairs of finely carved jade bracelets, East China Sea agate, Jiangnan pearl, Western Regions spice ......"
Fu Mingli didn't look at the gift list, and said more than a dozen extremely precious rare things in one breath.
In the surprised gaze of everyone, Fu Mingli pretended to be reserved with a smug face, "Brother and sister, you take it first." ”
Li Xiluan was already surprised in her heart, but listening to Fu Mingli's words this time, it seemed that this was not all, and she was shocked again.
What is Fu Mingli's identity, few people in Jinling don't know, his current appearance is obviously not his own will, and it is obvious that he can be instructed like this. First of all, Chang Song Chang Ge sent gifts from the courtyard, and then Fu Shoufu sent more than a dozen extremely precious and rare things.
Li Xiluan is not the kind of ignorant woman, although this old man gives a gift of great face, but you have to have the ability to follow the face given to you! Li Xiluan was shocked in his heart and secretly dike at the same time, looking at the gift list in front of him, he hesitated and didn't dare to reach out to take it.
Fu Mingli was very satisfied with Li Xiluan's expression, and glanced at the people around him who were also stunned, Fu Mingli was very proud in his heart, and said loudly: "Even if my brother and sister accept it, Liyuan and I are also ......."
"Madame, Madam......" Before Fu Mingli finished speaking, another little girl stumbled in at the door.
If it was usual, Li Xiluan would not have taught a lesson, but at this moment, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at the little girl who ran in a panic with a calm expression, frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
The little girl ignored Li Xiluan's frowning brows, hurriedly walked up to her, and whispered in her ear.
Li Xiluan's pretty face changed when she heard this, and there was a rare hint of horror in her eyes.
But then, Li Xiluan estimated the time, calmed down a little, looked at Fu Mingli with a smile and said, "Master Fu, please sit in the house for a while, there are distinguished guests outside." ”
Master Fu frowned when he heard this, is there a more distinguished guest than me in the entire Jinling?
However, Master Fu was feeling happy at this moment, and he didn't care about this little thing, nodded with a smile, threw the gift list towards the fish, and strode towards the living room inside.
When Yu'er saw it, her face was anxious, and she hurriedly looked at Li Xiluan.
Li Xiluan frowned slightly, groaned, and whispered to the fish: "You are guarding the door, and the young master will come back later, and then come in after explaining the matter." ”
When the fish heard this, he nodded quickly and ran to the door.
Li Xiluan ordered a word of tea, then got up and walked out of the courtyard.
Not long after, a white-haired old man was waiting in the outer courtyard, waiting respectfully.
Li Xiluan's footsteps were a little faster, he walked in front of the old man, bowed slightly, and said with a solemn expression: "Li Xiluan has seen Mr. Gao. ”
Mr. Gao has white hair, a kind smile on his face, a slightly chubby body, and a thick and elegant air all over his body. With this heavy bookish atmosphere, you don't need to distinguish to know that this is a contemporary Confucian who has read poetry and books.
Gao Lianshan, Gao Qi's younger brother, a contemporary Confucian master, a generation of Confucianism.
Of course, if it is just like this, it may not make Li Xiluan so respectful. Gao Lianshan's father was also a generation of Confucian masters, and he had been an emperor several times, and Gao Lianshan was the emperor's brother and respected him very much. Gao Lianshan was once the prince's teacher, and later became the exclusive royal gentleman. When it comes to influence, I'm afraid it's even better than Takasaki.
What Li Xiluan respects the most is that this Mr. Lianshan has sheltered the Wei family several times, although many outsiders can't see it, but Li Xiluan understands it very well.
Gao Lianshan smiled kindly, looked at Li Xiluan, and said with a smile: "Li Cheng's knowledge is actually good, but it's a pity that he is too persistent, and he is one step behind." ”
Li Xiluan pursed her lips, and said with a pretty face: "Mr. Gao taught a lesson." ”
Li Cheng is Li Xiluan's father, and he is Wei Shan's best friend, and when he was young, he once said, 'If the Li family has a daughter, it will be allowed to Wei Jia', and then it was really in one sentence.
Gao Lianshan looked at Li Xiluan's restrained expression, smiled, and sighed a lot, and said, "You don't have to be nervous, this time I came to give my old friend face." If he is a scholar, I will definitely not be as good, but it's a pity that he left the officialdom, hey, the Great Qi literary world is really too dark if he loses him. ”
Listening to Gao Lianshan's emotion, although Li Xiluan was confused, his heart moved, could it be that these three people were all coming for Mr. Gao's 'old friend', not Liyuan or Wu Shuai?
This thought made Li Xiluan's heart feel relieved, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Gao, please, let the younger generation serve tea." ”
