Section 32 Before the Feast

Although it was a time of peace, in view of the fact that the situation in the Five Lakes region to the south was not calm, the princes and nobles still carried a large number of guards. When Wu Feng and his entourage arrived at the open space in front of the residence of the Minister of Culture, Education and Health by carriage, all kinds of carriages were already parked outside the gate, some of them were unique in shape, some were small and exquisite, some were full of luxury, some were simple and generous, and there were many guards and royals standing next to the carriage, all chatting there.

Wufeng's carriage is still Angel'erSeeing that Wufeng didn't have a car in the capital, she chose a larger one from her two carriages and let Wufeng use it for the time being, of course, Wufeng also asked Song Tianxiong to order three carriages with different specifications from the largest carriage manufacturer in the capital, but that must not be obtained until after the Spring Festival, so now I have to take Angel's somewhat small carriage to use.

Originally, there was the emblem of the Huey family on the carriage, which had been taken down by Wu Feng, and Wu Feng, the mark representing his identity, had not yet thought about it, so he had to leave it empty, so when he arrived at the door, although the doorman was accustomed to seeing the world, he was also surprised by this vehicle that obviously belonged to the nobleman's private car but did not have the emblem that represented his identity, but seeing so many guards vigilantly protecting the carriage, he also knew that the identity of the person who came was extraordinary, and very politely placed the gorgeous cushion for the lady's feet next to the carriage.

The first to get out of the car were two young men in a strong suit, who looked a little nondescript on this occasion, but their faces were unusually delicate, which surprised the doorman and the butler who greeted them, but then the young man in a traditional Tang clan robe immediately made them understand that this was the real host and guest.

"May I ask your name, sir?" The middle-aged housekeeper who was full of everyone's spirit was extraordinarily calm, showing generosity but not making people feel distanced.

Wu Feng nodded secretly, just by the level of this housekeeper, you can see the bearing of a master, as the saying goes, it takes at least three generations for a nobleman to become a nobleman, this seems to be true, Wei Zhongxing has been a veteran of the empire for more than 20 years, and he is also from a scholar family, and he has considerable attainments in calligraphy and painting, and even a random housekeeper is so unusual.

"Li Wufeng. Gently spit out three words, Wu Feng motioned to Song Tianxiong to hand over his name sticker, and the three words "Li Wufeng" in his handwriting on a very ordinary-looking Huzhou fine plate paper looked extremely simple, even a little cold.

But it is precisely this name sticker made by Wu Feng himself at a black market auction of precious works of art a hundred years later at a sky-high price of 600,000 imperial gold coins, which was bought by an unknown wealthy businessman, and the reason why this name sticker will appear in the black market auction, it is said that a thief sneaked into the Wei family's old house and stole it, at first the thief did not know the precious surname of this object, and sold it to a calligraphy and painting dealer at a very low price, which can be regarded as saving a large family.

"Oh, Master Li is here, my master has been waiting for a long time, please. Although he was a little shocked, his tone was still neither humble nor arrogant, which fully showed the good quality of the middle-aged housekeeper.

The middle-aged butler waved lightly, and a servant trotted in front of him, took the post and ran quickly into the door to hand it to the doorman, and at the same time took a step forward with his right hand, leading the way for Wu Feng.

"Your Excellency Duke Li Wufeng, the military and political envoy of the Northwest County of the Empire and the governor of the Northern Luzon region, has arrived!" After a brief glance of the post in his hand, the melodious voice of the door official resounded in the warm and spacious hall.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixed on the purple-red gold velvet curtain in an instant, as the curtain was lifted, Li Wufeng, who was dressed in Tang costume, strode in, Wufeng, who was accustomed to seeing the big scene, was far from being comparable to the past, fully showing his good adaptability, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, a simple hairpin with a simple shape on the jade crown of his hair, a well-fitting oil yellow brocade Tang dress gown, an embroidered ribbon at the waist was tied obliquely at will, and a milky white jade pendant was hung on it, everything seemed so natural and graceful.

Sweeping the hall slightly, the smile full of joy seemed to infect everyone in the hall, and the atmosphere that was originally frozen at that moment returned to its original state for a while, and it naturally blended into the hall without hindrance.

"Master Li, why did you arrive? Could it be that you are blaming me, an old man, for not coming to the door to greet you?" One of the several gentry who came forward was naturally the host of the banquet, Duke Wei Zhongxing, and the few people behind him were definitely dressed at first glance, revealing a strong bookish atmosphere.

"Lord Wei, if you say this, you can kill the juniors. The younger generation is just a young boy, and it is already flattered to have the honor to participate in the banquet in the house, where can I dare to work hard for you?" Li Wufeng was sincere, and apologized again and again.

"Boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, but the more you learn, the more oily your mouth becomes. A familiar voice came from behind Wei Zhongxing.

As soon as these words came out, many people around them were stunned, who was so arrogant and bold, and actually dared to speak like this in front of His Majesty the Emperor's red man who held the military and political power in the two places? Who else could there be besides Dean Williams!

"Dean, you can do it, don't smoke my old bottom again, okay? Wu Feng's hearty laughter infected many people around him, and seeing that this young man, who was called the King of the Northwest by some people in China, was so funny and generous, several people standing behind Wei Zhongxing smiled.

"Come on, Lord Li, let me introduce you to some friends, I think although you are a native of Yanjing, you have been in the military for a long time, I'm afraid there are many celebrities in Yanjing that you don't necessarily know, right?" Wei Zhongxing smiled and took Wu Feng's hand, "Dean Williams doesn't need me to introduce you, this is Mr. Ju Zhen, the president of Imperial University." ”

The old man in front of him, with white hair and a ruddy face, was the famous university scholar Ju Zhen? Wufeng hurriedly stepped forward and clasped the other party's hands according to the etiquette of the Tang people and said, "The younger generation has heard the name of Mr. Jiuwen, and it is a lifelong blessing to see it today. ”

Although this Ju Zhen was not born in a scholar family, his attainments in history were unsurpassed in the empire, even famous scholars from various countries in the Western Continent often came from thousands of miles to seek advice, and won great honor for the empire in the academic world.

"Lord Li is too polite, the adult's name shocked the mainland, his merits are comparable to the previous dynasty's General Cao Ying, it is really a model for young people to learn from my dynasty, I don't know if the adult has read the newspaper in the past two days, then the evaluation of the adult is well deserved. The white-haired old man smiled and patted Wu Feng's shoulder affectionately, "If the old man has a granddaughter, she must marry a young hero like an adult." I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is very concerned about the marriage of adults, I wonder which family is lucky enough to have such a good son-in-law as Lord Li?"

The white-haired old man's last sentence immediately attracted the attention of many people around him, especially some people with a heart who pricked up their ears and wanted to wait for Wu Feng's answer.

"Ju Lao, you have an overreputation, how can Li Wufeng be virtuous, how can he be worthy of such praise from you? The younger generation is deeply ashamed. As for the marriage, the younger generation has not considered it, and His Majesty the Emperor asked about such a last matter, but he was just considering that the younger generation had been fighting the border for many years and cared about the subordinates, and it should not be taken seriously, it should not be taken seriously. Wufeng even dissolved and dissolved, dissolving the turmoil that Ju Zhen's words might have caused.

"Yes, Lord Li is still young, and there is still time to arrange these things, but this time Lord Li is in Yanjing, he needs to rest for a while, so that the celebrities and ladies in Yanjing will have more opportunities to get to know you, don't you say?" The middle-aged man next to Ju Zhen answered, soothing his cheeks for Wu Feng. Although this man is dark-skinned, he has an extraordinary bearing, and his gestures have a kind of elegance.

"This Master Li is not familiar with it, is it? My fellow countryman, Mr. Quan Shunnan, the owner of the famous Fenghua Poetry Garden in Yanjing. Wei Zhongxing saw that Wu Feng's gaze fell on the middle-aged man, and hurriedly introduced.

"Oh, but there is the Fenghua Poetry Garden, which is known as the 'Fenghua Poetry Garden, the peerless Fenghua'?" Wu Feng was also stunned when he heard this.

This Fenghua Poetry Garden was originally just a folk group in Yanjing, and it was nothing originally, but since fifty years ago, the Poetry Garden produced a genius poet Bai Mu, who traveled all his life in the world's famous mountains and rivers, and wrote countless moving poems that are popular among the people, not only the people of the Eastern Continent compete to recite, even in many places in the Central Continent and the Western Continent, they are also translated into Tianfang and Lania and widely circulated.

The famous contemporary critic Dubin once commented on Bai Mu with a classic sentence: "The pen falls into a storm, and the poem becomes a crying ghost and god." Bai Mu's influence can be seen from this, and Fenghua Shiyuan has since become a sacred place for Chinese and inkers in the upper class of the empire, and the noble children of Yanjing have also taken pride in studying Fenghua Shiyuan.

"My lord has also heard of the name of the Yuan?" the middle-aged man smiled and talked, his face rippled with a unique charm of a mature man, even Wu Feng, who had read a lot of people, secretly admired, "It seems that the rumors in the upper class of Yanjing that the adults are wise and courageous, both civil and military, are indeed true, and they are really heroes of our dynasty, no wonder the children of our society admire them." ”

"Bo Ming? Mr. Quan is too modest, if this Fenghua Poetry Garden can only be called Bo Ming, no one in this world will dare to call him a scholar. Wufeng laughed, "As for Li Wufeng's severity, I know that Mr. must not hold it too high, it hurts a lot when it falls." ”

The adult laughed. The middle-aged man answered with a smile, and naturally stretched out his hand and shook it with Wu Feng's outstretched hand, "Fortunately, it's a pleasure to meet you, if you have the opportunity to invite you to take a walk in our garden, the disciples of our garden are all looking forward to it." ”

"It must be certain, it is Li's honor to be a guest in Fenghua Poetry Garden, and after Li is busy for the past few days, he must visit Mr. Wu Feng hurriedly said.

Next, Wei Zhongxing introduced several famous people in the Yanjing cultural and art circles to Wufeng, and Wufeng greeted them one by one, and his modest and polite style made these people very satisfied.

"The three princesses of Yuejing Kingdom, Li Qingke, Li Qingshi, and Li Qingyun have arrived!" When the doorman's deep voice sounded again, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall once again focused on the purple-red velvet curtain.

Wu Feng is no exception, I have long heard that Li Deguang, the king of Yuejing Kingdom, is cowardly and incompetent, but he has given birth to several good daughters of Tianzi and the country, not only with a peerless appearance, but also has a very high talent in poetry and songs, and even a few poems in the empire are highly evaluated.

Today, if you have this opportunity, you have to take a good look, Wu Feng's restless heart couldn't help but flutter and jump again, "But don't let me down!" Wu Feng secretly prayed.
