The courtyard of the Mingxu Palace has already built a Zhuliang Liuwa viewing building, this is the first time since the founding of the Central Plains to hold a son-in-law selection competition, the specifications of the competition are naturally very luxurious and extravagant.

As early as half a month ago, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Works to send skilled craftsmen to build a high platform on the square in front of the viewing tower, and built a circle of five-color brocade sheds around the high platform. The brocade canopy was used for the royal family and nobles to sit up, and officials of other ranks and other invited celebrities and scholars sat outside the tent.

The high platform in the Mingxu Palace sits in the north and faces south, the high platform is in front of Lu Guogong, Cui Guogong Cui Hao, Xue Bai of the Ministry of Households, Fang Yan of the Ministry of Rites, Gu Ye of the Ministry of Works, Jiang Li, the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Ouyang Ran, and An Hao, the Secretary of the Criminal Department, gradually sit in the seat of the brocade according to the etiquette system and the official position; In the brocade shed on the east side of the high platform, the concubines and princes and grandsons of the harem are sitting; In the brocade shed on the west side of the high platform sat the envoys of various countries.

Jinghua and Wang Han and others stood on the periphery of the brocade shed, and they naturally couldn't miss the lively three crazy and Jia Yifan and others, and everyone pretended not to know Jinghua and others in order to avoid trouble.

On this morning, inside and outside the Mingxu Palace, there was already a flow of people, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Luoyang City gathered here, and for a time relatives and friends, colleagues in the government, noisily saluted each other, so it was not lively.

At the beginning of the time, the Ming Su Palace suddenly ran out of bells, nine long and five short, announcing the arrival of the emperor, and the Ming Su Palace was silent all of a sudden, leaving only the loud voice of the celebrant officer, commanding everyone to salute and worship.

Under the cover of the palace fan, a man in a beaded crown brocade robe sat on the viewing tower, and Jia Yifan thought to himself that this must be Emperor Yuanjue.

Yuan Jue was accompanied by two women with phoenix crowns, needless to say that they must be Queen Lu and Wu Guifei, and the three of them condescended to accept the admiration of thousands of people.

At this time, the celebrant has led the participants from all over the world who are scheduled to compete today on the platform, and after everyone has visited the emperor, they went to the registration office to register and draw lots, and according to the order of the lottery decision and matching, the competition officially began.

Nai Chenglong and Princess Jingya each brought five masters to come, and Akari came to compete, but in fact, he was just making fun and stirring up the situation. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it depends on how Jia Yifan decides.

Southern Qi and Northern Lu are different, they are both in an inevitable posture.

Jia Yifan and the others were watching the fight on the stage, and chatting with each other. Everyone knows that the first day of the game is all unpopular characters, and the important roles must be behind.

On the first day of the competition, several contestants from Tatar and Sanssouci were unsuccessful. The players of Southern Qi and Northern Lu each had their own wins and losses, and the players from the Central Plains also won one, Jiang Chenyang, the eldest son of Shangshu Jiangli of the Ministry of War.

When the game was about to end, Mo Xuan suddenly came to the outside of the brocade shed where Jia Yifan was, and bowed his hand and said, "I didn't expect that the Lord of the Wind Alliance also came here, I don't know who invited me?" ”

"Xue Bai, Xue Shangshu, you also know that most of the Jianghu sects have abandoned martial arts and engaged in business recently, and we have to rely on Xue Shangshu's support, so I naturally have to make friends with Xue Shangshu." Jia Yifan replied.

Xue Bai's hanging heart fell to the ground suddenly, Mo Xuan knew very well that Xue Bai was treacherous and good at both left and right, but he had no position, did not participate in the party and government, and was more respectful to the Duke of Ludalu.

"Did everyone have fun today?" Mo Xuan saluted Sanbu and the others one by one, and said with a smile.

"But it's all three-legged cat kung fu, and the fights are all showy, and it's very boring." Three are not crazy and disdainful.

"Martial arts masters like you have retired to the rivers and lakes to do business, and the only ones who can jump out are not in the stream." Mo Xuan complimented.

Three, don't be crazy, laugh noncommittal.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Colorless took over the words on the side and said, "Who is Mo Daxia here?" ”

"Lu Hongwen, the eldest son of Lu Guogong, admires all the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, and specially sends villains to come to invite you." Since Mo Xuan followed Lu Guogong, he has spoken less arrogantly and more hypocrisy in officialdom.

"Thanks to the love of Mr. Lu, but I am not a person who covets wealth and likes publicity." Jia Yifan politely refused.

"Childe is also a heart of love, so you don't have to worry too much about listening to the wind alliance master." Mo Xuan continued to invite warmly.

Jia Yifan couldn't excuse himself anymore, thinking of the itchy teeth that Lu Hongwen and Jiang Haodou had long hated, but he pretended to be smiling, and said politely: "Then thank you for your son's love, it's better to be respectful." ”

Mo Xuan said "please" and led the way in front, followed by Jia Yifan with the three non-crazy people.

Out of the east gate of the Ming Palace, four or five carriages were parked outside the east gate, and the coachman saw that everyone came out and pulled up the curtain early, and Mo Xuan beckoned everyone to get into the carriage separately. The coachman flicked his whip, and the wheels of the carriage made a gurgling sound against the green bricks in the ground.

Jia Yifan sat in the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, Mo Xuan had the heart to talk a few words, and when he saw Jia Yifan's appearance, he couldn't help it. But he was still not rude: "There is a labor league leader who has suffered from the bumps." ”

Jia Yifan smiled slightly and didn't speak.

The carriage traveled for half an hour and came to a halt outside a mansion gate.

Mo Xuan jumped out of the carriage and raised the curtain and said respectfully, "Please." ”

Jia Yifan jumped out of the carriage and looked at the courtyard in front of him, it turned out that Mo Xuan had brought everyone to the Red Mansion.

Mo Xuan sent someone in to report to Lu Hongwen, and at the same time beckoned Jia Yifan and the others to walk towards the mansion.

Although Jia Yifan has been to the Red Mansion several times, each time it is at night, and it is the first time for Jia Yifan to walk in the courtyard of the Red Mansion during the day.

Jia Yifan was still stunned by the golden splendor of the Red Mansion, the building craftsmanship was ingenious, the jade carved railings were magnificent, and the palaces and pavilions were criss-crossed.

Sanbu and the others couldn't help but smack their tongues.

Mo Xuan led everyone to stop in front of the Siyu Pavilion in the Red Mansion, and turned back to Jia Yifan and the others: "Everyone, wait a minute, I'll go back to Gongzi." ”

After Mo Xuan finished speaking, he walked quickly towards Siyu Pavilion.

After a while, the sound of chaotic footsteps came out of the Siyu Pavilion, and a group of people walked out of it surrounded by a boy in brocade clothes.

Jia Yifan saw Lu Hongwen's crippled ears and forcibly held back his laughter.

Jia Yifan still took a few steps forward and said, "Say hello to Gongzi Lu." ”

After Lu Hongwen squinted his eyes and looked at Jia Yifan for a few moments, he forced out a sacrificial smile and said: "I have long heard of the name of the alliance leader, and I am fortunate to meet you today, please join the alliance leader." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Jia Yifan's eyes tried not to look at Lu Hongwen's nose and ears, Jia Yifan knew that it would be too rude to laugh at such a time.

"Inside, please!" Jiang Haodou wasted no time in leaning forward and said.

Seeing Jiang Haodou, Jia Yifan was angry, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "There is labor, there is labor." ”
