A lush locust forest in front of Zhuangzi exudes a refreshing fragrance, and in the lush locust forest, you can see a straight avenue, and if you walk along this avenue, you can see a two-story building hidden in the green trees and grass. This is today's Xujiazhuang.

Xujiazhuang door to door have been transformed, there is no grass house, yellow mud house in the past, instead, all are two-story small buildings built with red bricks and tiles, the house has changed, but the folk customs have not changed, walking on the road in the village, you can also see many old men squatting in the corner of the wall to eat, a slightly better family is to place a table directly outside the gate, a few people sit around the table to eat, from time to time with the neighbors to visit each other, send each other some of their own cooked food.

Li Er took Fang Xuanling and walked on the straight road in Zhuangzhong step by step, looking at all kinds of novel changes in Zhuangzi with curiosity.

Li Er still clearly remembers that when he came to Xujiazhuang two years ago, the scenery was completely different from today, two years ago, Xujiazhuang did not have a stone mill turned by the wind, a runner pushed by the water, and this asphalt Zhuangzhong Avenue, even the two-story small building was rare at that time. But I haven't seen it for just two years, it seems to have changed to a Zhuangzi, under the rule of Guigu, it is really the same every year, and I haven't seen it for a few years, and when I say goodbye, it will be a earth-shaking change.

The owner's mansion of Xujiazhuang has been quite lively in the past two days, and the gate house is still the gate house, but the plaque of 'Xu Mansion' hanging high on the gate is surrounded by red long cloth, and the red lights hanging high reveal a sense of festivity.

Li Er stopped at the front of the gate and carefully looked at the decoration in front of the Xu Mansion, the two-inch-high staircase. There are four levels in total. Both sides of the staircase. It is the red lacquer pillar of the gate, next to the pillar, there is a set of two or seven zhang sword halberd shelf, declaring the master of the house once in the army to make contributions, at the same time in the bronze tile of the bird-shaped cornices are also engraved with the brand that only civil officials can have, such a civil and military gate, in the current dynasty real number is rare, but only Guiguzi. can generously show his superb level of both civil and military training.

The shadow guard on the side had already walked under the gate, pulled the gilded tiger handle on the door, and after knocking a few times, a dark grid suddenly opened from the door, startling the shadow guard.

I saw that behind the dark grid was a piece of glass, and a pair of big eyes looked out through the glass, and I saw that when the originally somewhat casual eyes saw Li Er, they instantly stared bigger than the copper bell, and the door was quickly pushed open, and I saw Liu Qiyi kneeling at the gate in a housekeeper suit. The mouth shouted: "Long live the saints, long live, long live!" ”

Li Er looked at this little guy with a smile on his face, he was indeed a clever person. I remember that when I came to Xujiazhuang two years ago, it seemed that he also opened the door.

"Excuse me, what about Xu Guigu? I heard that he had built several villas in the village to keep some retired lecturers of the academy as a place to live in his old age, and invited all the virtuous people of the academy to come to the village for a banquet and drink, I just wanted to ask, why didn't I, the dean of Nanshan Academy, invite me? Could it be that my position in the academy is useless, so I simply don't invite it? ”

Liu Qi's forehead was full of beads of sweat in a few words, although the weather in September was hot, but Liu Qi felt that the sweat on his back was all cold sweat, and he held his head hard, Liu Qi almost rolled his Adam's apple, and then said word by word: "Holy ...... What did the saint say, the owner of the village was just worried about His Majesty...... There are many opportunities for such trivial matters...... Don't bother the Holy One......"

Li Er looked at Liu Qi with a smile, a subordinate in the village, when facing something extremely awe-inspiring, he can also guarantee to say an explanation that barely passes, Guiguzi is not only outstanding personally, but also can teach his subordinates well, which is really rare.

"I won't embarrass you, lead the way, I want to meet this Guiguzi in person, and I want to give me an explanation in person."

When Liu Qi heard this, he said with a relieved 'promise', as long as the matter is in the hands of the owner, it will not be a matter......

High walls and red tiles, deep house compound, Xujiazhuang's house has been widened a lot in the past two years, the house of the three entrances has been changed to six entrances, and the courtyard connected by the east and west corridors has been changed to a large courtyard, the length and width of the north and south are more than ten zhang, and it is more than enough to be used as a martial arts field, but Xu Yang has built this place into an open-air banquet platform, where some drinking parties and celebrations are often held, and over time, this courtyard is also named 'Banquet Courtyard'.

Today's banquet courtyard is crowded, full of friends, Xu Yang holds the wine and the guests who come and go one by one, holding the wine glass, chatting with some parents.

Today's guests are a little unusual, such as Qin Qiong, professor of the Military Academy of Nanshan Academy, Li Chunfeng, professor of astronomical addressology, Yuan Tiangang, dean of the School of Chemistry, as well as Sun Simiao and Du Ruhui, who are all in the courtyard, chatting with everyone at will, and the atmosphere is quite eager.

"Bang Bang~ You're dead, the bullet from my pistol has hit you!" Suddenly running in from outside the corridor, three or four children were chasing with pistols carved in wood, and a boy in the front rushed so hard that he hit Qin Qiong's body headfirst.

Qin Qiong turned her head and looked at the child who bumped into her, who was only about four or five years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, sharp eyes and sword eyebrows, and his appearance was very similar to Xu Yang.

"Guanghua, why are you naughty everywhere again, your mother." Xu Yang asked the child with a frown.

I saw that the child was extremely cute and stuck out his tongue and said: "Daddy, my mother is chatting with Aunt Qin and Aunt Cheng in the backyard with my eldest mother and Sanniang. After that, he also showed an extremely pitiful look.

Seeing this scene, everyone talking beside Xu Yang laughed in unison, Yuan Tiangang was dressed in a Taoist robe, his beard was all white, and he looked a little more immortal, I saw him wiping his beard and laughing: "The son of Guigu has always been full of aura, Xu Xingtang, who is now in middle school in Nanshan Academy, was regarded as a personal disciple by Yan Ru at the age of nine, that Xu Jingshi has always been called a talented woman by many teachers in the women's college, and now I see this son of Guigu, Tianling Purple Qi, Jiyun Guanzhong, Meiyu Duofu, looks talented and intelligent, The old man dared to assert that in less than ten years, this kid would definitely be another active figure in Nanshan Academy. ”

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's praise, Xu Yang, who was already in his middle of the year, hurriedly said a few words of modesty, but the pride on his face couldn't be hidden, after all, the child was his proudest work in the world.

When everyone wanted to continue to greet each other, a shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ……”…… (To be continued......)
