Changan?

Du He and Li Shimin were surprised. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Du He couldn't remember that there was such a play in history, and Li Shimin couldn't imagine that Zhiyong would send it to the door at this time, thinking that the "Lanting Collection Preface" was close at hand, and that heart was almost jumping out of his mouth, and it was difficult to control himself. It's not that Li Shimin's self-control ability is poor, but that "Lanting Collection Preface" is really attractive to him who loves calligraphy.

"Do you know their whereabouts? The two monks came from the south, so there wouldn't be any news, right? Li Shimin was thoughtful and derived many ideas. Zhiyong is a monk, some monks like to practice on foot, if Monk Zhiyong after dealing with Chang'an, come to an aimless travel, the Tang Dynasty is big, how to find it? When I think about it like this, I can't help but feel anxious.

Li Ke replied: "Along the way, Erchen has been investigating the whereabouts of Master Zhiyong and his apprentice Debate, but to no avail. Before arriving in Chang'an, Erchen suddenly wondered if it would be Zhiyong and them who were walking together with others, so they lost their trace. I also followed this aspect of the investigation, and sure enough, it was not true. For some reason, Master Zhiyong converged with the Xu family caravan from Jiangnan on the way. This made Erchen pursue all the way to no avail. Speaking of this, he looked helpless. Li Shimin is in the prime of life, and he has at least ten or twenty years to live, and in this long time, the prince's ownership is a mystery. He has the heart to take this opportunity and perform well. Along the way, they tried to find out the whereabouts of the two monks, but they didn't expect that the two would walk with the caravan, and they lost their target, making them think like blind cats, scurrying around and finding nothing.

"Jiangnan Xu family?" Du He's mind came to Xu Hui's beautiful shadow, a beautiful woman, always impressive, especially Xu Hui, a beautiful but talented woman, couldn't help asking: "Is it the Xu family in Suzhou?" ”

Li Ke smiled back and said: "It is the Xu family in Suzhou." ”

Li Shimin asked, "You have dealings with this Xu family." ”

Du He said: "When the son-in-law was in Suzhou to control the plague, the Xu family helped each other and had dealings with each other. He also knew that the Xu family in history was still a royal prince. Xu Hui is Li Shimin's concubine, and the concubine Xu recorded in history is Xu Hui. In his memory, Xu Hui was the only concubine who was treated sincerely by Li Shimin after the death of Empress Changsun, and she was also a harem woman who could be compared with Empress Changsun in terms of virtue. However, it seems that his appearance and butterfly effect have had an impact, the eldest grandson queen is now alive and well, and Xu Hui has not been able to enter the palace, and the Xu family is naturally not a member of the imperial family.

Digressing, Li Shimin didn't ask here, and asked: "Then do you know where the Xu family caravan is now?" ”

Li Ke replied: "Erchen asked the city defense soldiers outside the city, and got the exact news that the head of the Xu family entered Chang'an City with a caravan and an hour ago. There were indeed two monks in the entourage, and now they have entered Chang'an and are in the city. ”

"Good!" Li Shimin patted the case, stood up and said: "Since you are in Chang'an, there is no reason to let it go." Ke'er, this matter is still left to you, don't miss it again......" paused, and said to Du He: "You accompany Ke'er, you are familiar with Chang'an, and you know the Xu family, and it is easy to talk when you meet, so be sure to find Zhiyong before leaving Chang'an." ”

Li Kexi said: "With my sister-in-law going with me, this trip will be smooth." ”

Du He also did not want to miss the opportunity to read the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface", and readily agreed.

Out of the palace, Li Ke enthusiastically approached Du He.

Du He didn't say a word in reply, he didn't show too much enthusiasm, and of course he didn't deal with it coldly, but coped with it with the attitude of talking to ordinary people.

Li Ke was not surprised, nor did he have any disgust, and his attitude was the same.

Coming to the outside of the palace, Li Ke saw Du He's mount "Snow Without Shadow", his eyes exuded a look of interest, and said: "What a heavenly horse and a divine horse, it is a great honor to be able to ride such a divine horse and cross the field." It's a pity that I'm in the royal family, so I can only hunt for my own amusement. If you are lucky enough to be on the battlefield and fight side by side with your sister-in-law in the future, it will be a great joy in life. ”

Du He replied humbly, with a strange look on his face. When Li Ke said this, he had the intention of wooing himself, but the yearning for meritorious deeds in that look was fully revealed. He seems to yearn for the battlefield and hopes to achieve something on the battlefield, rather than wearing the title of King Wu and being a prince of peace in the south.

But it seems unlikely.

Li Shimin went to the battlefield to kill the enemy because it was necessary in troubled times. Now there are countless generals in the Tang Dynasty, and in terms of the ability to lead the troops to fight, Li Ji, Hou Junji, and Su Dingfang, which of these are not the talents of the generals who are powerful for a while, and it is not Li Ke's turn to command the troops.

What's more, it is definitely not a wise decision for the prince to take charge of the army, which has long been settled in history.

Li Ke shook his head, knowing that he was a little whimsical, but this was his innate yearning.

As Li Shimin's son, Li Ke admires his father very much, and whenever he hears about his father's deeds of leading troops to fight, he will feel his blood boiling, and hate himself for being born at the wrong time. When I was a child, I didn't understand anything, I just wanted to be able to go into battle and kill the enemy like my father, and since I was a child, I practiced archery and horse riding hard, and studied military books and strategies. When I grew up and was crowned the throne, I realized that it was impossible for me to go into battle to kill the enemy, but I always had a trace of expectation in my heart and practiced tirelessly. Every time I talk about this, there is inevitably some yearning in my tone.

He shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts and asked, "Li Kejiu is in the south, and he is not familiar with Chang'an, so he doesn't know where to start, what does his sister-in-law think?" ”

"Go to the Welcome Guest Inn...... Du He smiled indifferently, his eyes flashed with confidence: "If I guess correctly, the Xu family should live in the Welcome Guest Inn." ”

Li Ke looked at Du He in surprise.

Du He said: "Everything is traceable, His Royal Highness said that the head of the Xu family came with the caravan." This means that the Xu family's coming to Chang'an is definitely not an ordinary business. Either took over a big business, or wanted to gain a foothold in Chang'an. In short, it will not leave in a short time. Businessman, go out by friends, the Xu family has no other friends in Chang'an, only the Helan family, a business partner. It was unlikely that he would find an inn he didn't know, and the Welcome Guest Inn was his only option. ”

Because of Li Jiancheng's remnants, he has an in-depth understanding of all the famous families in Jiangnan, and the Xu family is no exception.

He knew that the Xu family lived in Jiangnan and had no foundation in Chang'an. This came from afar, and there was no reason why he didn't connect with the Helan family.

The Welcome Guest Inn is named after the Welcome Building, Wu Meiniang is a genius, and in the twenty-first century, she is definitely a financial queen. After she acquired Binloulou, she felt that the value of this time-honored brand had not been fully developed, so she opened a welcoming inn next door, and also set up a bathhouse, which implemented one-stop service for meals and accommodation.

This was not pointed out by Du He, it was completely figured out by the beautiful little head itself.

Some truths are simple, but they are easy to ignore and imagine.

After this point, Li Ke suddenly realized: "Let's go, let's go to the guest inn quickly......"

As Du He said, Xu Xiaode is a very successful businessman, he has long been interested in expanding the foundation, and he deliberately got closer to the Helan family as early as when he was in Jiangnan. They get along very well with each other, and this is the first time they have arrived, Xu Xiaode naturally has to rely on this line. When he entered Chang'an City, he immediately took Wu Shun's letter of introduction to the Welcome Guest Inn to check in, and personally visited the steward of Helan's family in Chang'an, intending to learn about the market in Chang'an, so as to sell his daughter for wealth.

The steward of the Helan family is Jiang Yuxu, the housekeeper of the original martial family, Wu Tutong was once a wealthy businessman in the world, and Jiang Yuxu was a down-and-out scholar he saved. Wu Tutong unexpectedly discovered that Jiang Yuxu had a talent for business, promoted him, and finally became the steward of the martial family, loyal to the martial family.

After Wu Tutong's death, the Wu family relied on Jiang Yuxu to support him, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang treated Wu Meiniang's mother and daughter badly in every way, Jiang Yuxu secretly helped, so that Wu Yuanqing drove out of the Wu family, and the Wu family was defeated.

After Wu Meiniang's achievements, she naturally would not miss such a loyal and capable talent, and sent people back to her hometown many times to find it, and came to Chang'an a year ago. Wu Meiniang entrusted all the burdens, and she was a military advisor behind the scenes, taking care of everything.

Xu Xiaode and Jiang Yuxu talked in the living room, Xu Hui never asked about things at home, and dined alone in the house accompanied by the maid, planning to visit the flower world of Chang'an in the afternoon.

"Miss, Miss, Chang'an is really big, much bigger than Suzhou. This street is just like the square in our hometown, it's so grand, where are we going in the afternoon......"

Xu Hui wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "Go to Longjing Tea House, it is a gathering place for the literati of Beijing, and it is said that Chang'an is full of talents, just take a look......" She said as she said that a person couldn't help but appear in her mind...... Duhe.

Xu Hui is talented and has excellent literary talents, and there are few comparable people in the Jiangnan generation, so she naturally has a literati arrogance. But this arrogance has nothing to hide in front of Du He, the ghostly Du Ti characters, the poem "First Moon" that allegorizes the scene, the heroic posture when the Japanese are fighting, the fight with the sky in Suzhou, and the means to turn the tide. And also...... And the embrace when you save yourself......

Thinking of this, Xu Huiqiao's face turned crimson, and women had this inexplicable affection for the first man in close contact, not to mention that Du He was still her and her father's savior. If it weren't for Duhe, she would have fallen to her death on the deck of the ship, and if it weren't for Duhe, her father would have died at the hands of the plague.

With these two layers of relationship, how could Xu Hui forget the existence of Du He.

Of course, I can't talk about liking, let alone love, but I'm just full of gratitude and admiration for him.

"He is also a famous man in Chang'an, I don't know if he will go to Longjing Tea House...... Probably not, he is an important minister in the court, how can he have time to spend time in the tea house? ”

At this moment, Xu Hui overheard Wu Wang Li Ke and Du He asking to meet.
