In the ancient city of Jixian County, a team of horses staggered to the bottom of this ancient city. Li Chongjiu rode a horse, dressed in a leather robe, and looked at the word Jixian on the head of the city, and couldn't help but smile. Not seeing the high-rise buildings and busy traffic 1,300 years later, the Celestial Empire, with a population of more than 20 million in later generations, is just a small county town with more than tens of thousands of people according to today's point of view.

Jicheng, known as Yandu or Yanjing in ancient times, is the ancient capital of Yan in the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Later, Murong Xianbei briefly established the capital here, and later moved to Longcheng. Jicheng has experienced it twice.

Tens of thousands of people, now is nothing, at that time was already an important town, the land of Jixian is the largest city in the ancient Youzhou, the first important town in the north, the people of the north are more accustomed to this place is called Youzhou City, not Jicheng. The large building in the north of the city is the Linshuo Palace, which is where the base camp of Yang Guang's expedition to Liao was located. The waterway in the south of the city is the terminus of the Grand Canal.

This trip started from Huaihuang Town, passed through the military capital of Taihang Bashan, bypassed the border pass of the Great Wall, and came to this Jixian County. Of course, Li Chongjiu is not here to be nostalgic. If it is best to win over the Fan Yang Lu family, Li Chongjiu can be reused in the future, if the negotiation with Fan Yang Lu fails, Li Chongjiu will have to be ruthless and erase it.

Anyway, it doesn't matter what kind of scholar you are, those who can stand with me are comrades-in-arms, and those who can't be with me as a party are enemies.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, the crescent moon was still hanging in the sky, and countless people and merchants who wanted to enter the city lined up, lined up in a long line, waiting patiently outside the city. This Jixian County is a border city, and there are the most traders, and many traders can enter the city directly without a certificate.

The guards at the city gate were very lax in their inspection, and after one glance, they let it in. Li Chongjiu glanced at the long queue behind him, if he checked them one by one, he really didn't know how long the city gate would be blocked. But the more so, the more you can see the prosperity of Jixian County.

When Li Chongjiu arrived, the city gate soldiers looked at Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo, who looked like a tent man on the side, and seemed suspicious, and at this time, Lin Dangfeng stepped forward and said a few words. When the city gate soldiers saw Lin Dangfeng, they immediately smiled happily and nodded to signal their caravan to enter.

Entering the city, the prosperity of Jixian County can be seen, all the way to the street, you can see the white rice line, the slaughter line, the oil line, the five ripe line, the fruit line, the charcoal line, the pig iron line, the grinding line, the silk line abounds. The pavements were crowded one after another, unaffected by the war.

Jicheng was besieged by Wang Xuba not long ago, and there was no war, although there were uprisings everywhere, but with Xue Shixiong and Fan Yang Lu's family, it was still in the north, so that the people had one more place to settle down.

Li Chongjiu lowered the brim of his hat and walked in the city, looking at the prosperity of Jixian County, and nodded secretly, and at this time, there was suddenly a commotion all around. Li Chongjiu saw that the people on the left and right avoided the road one after another. Li Chongjiu was secretly strange, only to see the Sui army wearing a spear and an earthy yellow robe walking in, lining up on both sides, separating the pedestrians and opening a road.

After that, a dozen servants, each with a basin of water, spread the road in front of them to pave the way, and then the servants pulled up a long yellow curtain on both sides of the road to cut off the view.

Li Chongjiu smiled at Wen Yanbo, and asked Wen knowingly: "Which family is beautiful, and can travel to have such a battle?" ”

The butcher-like man on the side said: "This guy, it's the first time you come to Youzhou City, where is there a second one besides Fan Yanglu's family?" ”

Wen Yanbo immediately said: "I heard that the Lu family has four daughters, and each country is beautiful, I don't know which one is traveling?" ”

The butcher smiled and said: "You are asking the right person, my junior is on an errand in the Lu Mansion, and yesterday I told us that we are the eldest lady, and we went to the Yaoshi Temple in the east of the city together with the second and fourth young ladies to make incense." ”

The butcher said, a long carriage ran over from the loess road, Li Chongjiu saw that although there was a layer of yellow curtains, he could still see the maids next to the car, all of them were dressed in beautiful clothes and walked with the car, as for the rough mother-in-law, the little girl, and the groom were more, and the curtains on the car were all opened, and it was possible to see a few pretty figures, but they could not see the other party's appearance.

Unable to see his face, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but secretly say that he was sorry, and when he turned his head to look at the salivating appearance of the slaughter, he couldn't help but shake his head.

The butcher saw Li Chongjiu's expression in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "Mo Xiao, Mo Xiao, alas, we have a saying in Jixian County, those who regret it in this life fail to marry the daughter of the Lu family." ”

Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard this: "The daughter of the Lu family, does my brother also have this heart?" ”

The butcher smiled and said: "Of course I didn't say this sentence, but it was said by a prime minister back then, but after a long time, everyone said so." ”

Wen Yanbo pinched his beard and nodded, and said with a smile: "I have also heard this." It was indeed said by the prime minister of Wei Shi, saying that not marrying the daughter of the Lu family was a regret in his life. ”

The butcher nodded, and said, "I'm right. ”

After the Lu family's car was driven, the yellow curtain was removed, and everyone on the street resumed walking. Li Chongjiu continued to walk, Wen Yanbo said: "The people cultivate marriages, regardless of official qualities, and the Fan Yang Lu clan is ashamed to marry the surnames, and the people of the Shi clan are well known. ”

On the side, Lin Dangfeng said: "Yes, not only marriage, but also treating others." When my father was there, my Lin family was also a large merchant in Youzhou, but when I arrived at the Lu family, I didn't even have the qualifications to go to the main hall, and even the servants bluntly said that we couldn't let the laity stain my family's mat. ”

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, although the identity of a businessman was already low, but the Lu family treated the Lin family like this.

At that moment, Lin Dangfeng and Li Chongjiu joked, and said: "The four young ladies of the Lu family are all in the boudoir, if the envoy wants to subdue the Fan Yang Lu family, it is better to choose one for marriage." Well, I still have to be a concubine, and then I will be angry to die like a child of a scholar clan who has a family background. ”

Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard this, but Wen Yanbo said seriously: "The Lu family only intermarries within the four major clans, even if it has been suppressed by the imperial court in recent years, and the momentum is not as good as before, it is still the Li family in Longxi as the in-law. ”

"Longxi Li Clan?" Li Chongjiu couldn't help asking.

Wen Yanbo nodded and said: "Exactly, Lu Yuanming, the head of the Lu family, had a good relationship with Li Ping in Longxi, and the relationship between the two families has always been good. But a few years ago, the Son of Heaven beheaded Li Hun and Li Min's family, the Li family in Longxi was hit, and several women in the Lu family were exiled and implicated. Therefore, the Lu family has changed to get very close to Li Yuan, even though he knows that Li Yuan is not the orthodox Li family in Longxi. ”

At that time, it was said that the Li family deserved the world, and at that time, the Li family in Longxi was the first wealthy family in Guanlong, so Yang Guang had a murderous intention to cut off this major disaster. However, the death of Li Hun and Li Min not only made the Guanlong clan more hostile to Emperor Yang of Sui, but also allowed Li Yuan to take advantage of the opportunity of Li's death to wantonly entrap the power of the Li clan in Longxi as his own family.

Lin Dangfeng is a businessman who doesn't know much about the internal struggle of the imperial court, and said at the moment: "The same surname is Li, why can the Li family in Longxi be too guarded, I think that in order to govern the Lu family, we must first strip away the arrogance on them, so as to subdue them." ”

At that moment, everyone was speechless, and went to Lin Dangfeng's business house to stay, and Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo went to the Lu family's mansion in person. Lu Mansion is located in the northwest of Jixian County, according to the layout of the city in the Sui and Tang dynasties, this is the honorable position.

Li Chongjiu went out of the fangmen, turned right along the street, walked for half an hour before arriving, heard that the Lu family's mansion was originally a lake, and then heard that the Lu Mingyuan mentioned above, because he liked the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, so he expanded the courtyard and built a mansion here. After bypassing a few big trees that hug each other, you can see the high-rise mansion compound from a distance, and the Lu Mansion actually occupies a whole two squares of land in Jixian County.

Wen Yanbo took Li Chongjiu to the side door from the side, and came to a black and gray tile hanging door, where several servant-like people were guarding the door.

Wen Yanbo immediately asked the little servant to step forward and handed the famous thorn, after the other party glanced at the famous thorn, his face immediately changed to a little respectful, and immediately turned around and handed it to a person who looked like a steward sitting behind the door. After the steward looked at the famous thorn, he immediately got up and came to Wen Yanbo to salute, and said, "It turned out to be the Wen Neishi of Taiyuan." ”

Wen Yanbo waved his hand and said, "It's long been out of place." Dare to ask if Da Lang-kun is there? ”

The steward asked, "Which Da Lang Jun dare to ask?" ”

Wen Yanbo said: "Of course, it's Ziyu Xian Brother. ”

The butler listened and suddenly said, "Wait, wait for me to enter and tell you." ”

After Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo waited in the ear room, and after drinking a cup of tea, the steward said respectfully: "Da Langjun entertained a few guests, saying that he had no time for a while today, and he said that there would be a banquet in Mingyue Tower the day after tomorrow, and then Brother Wen would be invited to join him, which would also be regarded as a reception for Your Excellency." ”

Wen Yanbo nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay, please go back to Da Langjun, and say that I will definitely go to the banquet the day after tomorrow." ”

After saying that, Wen Yanbo was about to leave, and the steward immediately ordered someone to send a carriage to send the two back to their residence. Wen Yanbo refused.

Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo returned to their residence together, Wen Yanbo looked unhappy, obviously still resentful of the other party's big fight.

The day after tomorrow, Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo, as well as a group of seven or eight entourages, went to Mingyue Tower for a banquet.

This Mingyue Tower is the most prosperous market in the city. Li Chongjiu came to the front of Mingyue Tower, the tethered horse stone was full, all kinds of carriages and horses were parked downstairs, and many Jiannu horsemen were outside the car in the absence of their masters, talking loudly with their sleeves cuffed, laughing and laughing.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "What kind of place is this Mingyue Tower, there are so many people here." ”

Wen Yanbo shook his head to show that he didn't know, and at this time, a carriage stopped beside him, and a person who looked like a second ancestor came down from it, and said with a sneer: "The famous Qu family of the Eastern Capital came here to perform, but I didn't know it, it was really a group of Tian Shehan who had never seen the world!" ”
