A month later, Li Xuan and his entourage came to Gaoling.

Gaoling is a small county town located in the north of the imperial capital of Chang'an. In the middle of the county is a wide and smooth stone road, and on both sides of the stone road are rows of two- and three-story small buildings with red bricks and green tiles. On the first floor of the small building, there are all kinds of storefronts, and there are all kinds of signboard flags hanging on the façade, some of them are very elegant, such as "gathering incense house" carved in seal style, and "drunken fairy building" written in official writing; Some are very straightforward, directly drawing on the flag to sell things, such as "scissors, iron pots" and the like.

On the stone road, there are cars and horses, and the flow of people is like weaving, and from time to time there is the penetrating shouting of the vendors, and occasionally there is a long neighing of horses.

Li Xuan and his entourage couldn't help but stop, savoring the bustling hustle and bustle of Gaoling County.

Zhao Meng exclaimed, "Oh my God! We have seen a lot of counties along the way, is this still a county seat? How can it be so prosperous? ”

When an elderly farmer on the street heard this, he said sadly and angrily: "Housheng, this Gaoling County is indeed prosperous." But this prosperity has nothing to do with the people of Gaoling County. The shops in Gaoling County are all Gaoling at home, not to mention the stupid and expensive items to buy, and the price is rising one day a day. Old man, I took the money to buy farm tools early in the morning, but the money that was enough two days ago has risen by nearly 30% today. I had no choice but to go to Fuping County to buy it. ”

"Fuping County? Is it at least thirty miles from here? Zhao Meng said in surprise.

The old farmer said helplessly: "Thirty miles away, then you have to go." At least the farm tools in Fuping County are half cheaper than those in Gaoling County, right? ”

After that, he hurried to Fuping County.

Sun Simiao said compassionately: "This old farmer, it seems that he is going to sleep in the wild tonight. ”

Looking at the back of the old farmer, Zhao Meng said indignantly: "Profiteers, for the rich is not benevolent. How could I, the Guanlong noble, have such a despicable family? Gao Ling is at home, and his ancestors are also famous, and he is one of the earliest and top eight wealthy families among the nobles of Guanlong, but he didn't expect to fall to this. ”

Xiong Kuohai asked, "The Gao Ling Yu family also belongs to the Guanlong aristocracy?" ”

Li Xuan continued: "Yes, they belong to the Guanlong nobles. Yuwentai, the minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, set up the "Eight Pillars State" to manage the whole team, and the Eight Pillars Country has Li Hu of my Longyou Li family, Yu Jin of Gaoling Yujia, Zhao Gui of Longyou Zhao Family, and other eight people, eight people joined forces, through in-laws, protégés, and generals, and finally became the largest political and military group today - Guanlong nobles. Gaoling Yujia is a descendant of Sikong Yujin in the Western Wei Dynasty, and I still have a certain relationship with their Gaoling Yujia. ”

"Do you have a relationship with them? What relationship? The crowd asked in surprise.

Li Xuan said lightly: "The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." After saying that, he patted his stomach.

"Doll pro." Everyone suddenly realized.

On the second day, Li Xuan said to Zhao Meng: "Mengzi, come with me to Gaoling Yu's house." ”

Zhao Meng replied, "What are you doing at their house?" No, I hate that family. ”

Li Xuan said: "I know you don't want to go, and I don't want to go. But we are subordinate to the Guanlong nobles with them, and we don't enter through their doors, so we lose our manners. Let's go together, go and go back, and never sit down soon. ”

After a stick of incense, Li Xuan and Zhao Meng came to Gaoling Yu's house together.

A palace-like building stood in front of Li Xuan and Zhao Meng, and the golden glazed tiles shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight. There is a pair of majestic stone lions in front of the building, the vermilion gate reveals the ancient charm, the white jade steps are spotless, the houses in the building, as many as the stars, but the rules are decent, and the discipline is not lost.

Entering the hall, Yu Xin, the head of the Gao Ling family, sat on the top Huanghuali high-backed chair. Yu Xin is about forty years old, smiling, radiant, with a pair of small eyes, but they are shining.

Under Yu Xin's left hand, there is a pair of young men and women, the man is about twenty years old, handsome appearance, with a tall figure, very charming, a pair of eyes are bright and transparent, when looking at people, like a tiger staring at a person, majestic, like a god, people know at a glance that he is superb in martial arts, fierce and abnormal, unfathomable. The girl is fourteen or five years old, with exquisite appearance, spring eyebrows and eyes, and an unusually mature and stylish figure, looking at the man with a face.

"Li Xuan of the Longyou Li clan and Zhao Meng of the Longyou Zhao clan visited Uncle Yu." Li Xuan and Zhao Meng walked forward quickly and saluted Yu Xin.

Yu Xin was very surprised when he heard Li Xuan's name, but he quickly adjusted, and said with a pleasant face: "Hehe, the two virtuous nephews are invited to get up quickly." I'm glad you came to see me. Please be seated. ”

After Li Xuan and Zhao Meng thanked him, they walked to the empty chair under Yu Xin's right hand and prepared to sit down.

Suddenly, the woman shouted in surprise: "Li Xuan of the Li clan of Longyou? The son of Lee Hyo-gi, King of Yong'an? Aren't you dead? How did you become a Taoist priest now and appear in my house? ”

Li Xuan and Zhao Meng looked at the woman in amazement, and secretly said in their hearts: "Who is this, why are you so uneducated?" ”

Yu Xin's originally smiling face sank, and said to the girl: "Mei'er must not be rude!" ”

Yu Meier? Your own fiancée? This unusually hot girl is her fiancée?

Li Xuan subconsciously looked at his hat, fortunately it was blue.

Yu Mei'er shouted at Yu Xin: "Dad, let him go." I don't like Taoist priests, I don't let him stay in our house, he can't stay at our house, he can't stay for a stick of incense. ”

Yu Xin hesitated and looked embarrassed.

Yu Meier shouted again: "Dad, when you and Li Xiaoji made a doll kiss, didn't you think that Li Xiaoji was the military advisor next to His Majesty?" But now, Li Xiaoji's dead ghost is dead, and his son has become the most useless Taoist priest. Dad, cancel the marriage contract, and then kick them out of our house. ”

Li Xuan, who was originally going to say goodbye, was furious when he heard Yu Mei'er insulting Li Xiaoji, walked quickly in front of Yu Mei'er, slapped Yu Mei'er in the face, and shouted: "Slut, what did you say?" If you dare to say it again, believe it or not, I'll cut out your vicious tongue. ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Yu Xin stood up, pointed at Li Xuan and said, "You? How dare you be so rude? ”

"Am I rude? Uncle Yu, you better take care of your daughter. Your daughter has no tutor, and I hereby declare that my marriage contract with her is hereby annulled. Leave. With that, he picked up Zhao Meng and walked out of the gate.

Yu Mei'er woke up from her shock, cried loudly, and shouted: "Dare to beat me, my father killed him, killed them." I want them to die. ”

"Want to kill us? Uncle Yu, this is your hospitality. I will tell my father what is happening today. I want to see how Gaoling Yu's family will gain a foothold in my Guanlong aristocracy in the future? Zhao Meng shouted fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

Li Xuan grabbed Zhao Meng, walked quickly to the outside of the mansion, and said to Zhao Meng in a low voice: "On other people's territory, don't be too arrogant, go quickly." ”

Yu Xin was so angry that his face turned red, his lips turned blue, and he pointed at Li Xuan and Zhao Meng, trembling all over.

The handsome man is Yu Meier's senior brother, named Yu Feihu. He saw that Yu Xin was very angry, but he didn't make a move, obviously because he was afraid. He should be afraid of Zhao Meng's father, Zhao Jingzhong, the head of the Zhao family in Longyou and the general of Huaihua, but Li Xuan is a fatherless child. He thought about it, stood up, and yelled: "Li Xuan, you beat my junior sister, do you want to leave like this?" ”
