Chapter 16 Thinking about swan meat every day
Li Xuan took advantage of the time when everyone was boxing and drinking, and killed a full seven chicken wings, a roast chicken, and twelve hairy crabs, but he was still reluctant to put down the chopsticks in his hand.
The level of this chef of Xu Guogong's family is really superb, far better than the five-star chefs of later generations, which made Li Xuan regret his previous binge eating and drinking. It's just that the really good dishes, such as pig and dragon meat, wind feather birds, and other delicacies that only exist in this world, are served by servants at the end.
But at this time, Li Xuan's stomach was almost unable to hold on. He could only straighten up as much as he could, relieving the pressure on his stomach a little, and then slowly shoved the food into his mouth.
It wasn't until his mother Liu's personal maid came to him and whispered a few words that Li Xuan reluctantly left the table. His eyes were full of regret, and for a foodie, missing out on food was a great pain.
At this time, it was already dark, and the maid carried a lantern to lead the way, and Li Xuan followed closely behind, looking around at the same time.
In the large-scale, elegant and exquisite garden of the Xuguo Mansion, there are already many young girls playing and walking around in it. At a glance, it is really a warbler and a swallow, and the beauty is like a cloud.
Some bold girls even peeked over to him, and then commented on him with a clever smile.
However, Li Xuan's attention was quickly attracted by what the maid said: "Son, the person you went to see this time is a famous Confucian in Jiangnan, the second daughter of the imperial Shi Xiying, the left deputy capital of the dynasty, Fang name Xue'er." Her mother, Mrs. Xi, and Mrs. Xi have been handkerchiefs since childhood, and they have been friends for decades. So Madame still has something to say, son, you must not be abrupt and beautiful. Otherwise, Childe, you won't want to ask for any pocket money from her in the next few years. β
The Imperial History of the Left Vice-Capitalββ
Li Xuan couldn't help but wander, thinking that this was the so-called big thing planned by the Liu family? This was to want him to marry the daughter of the left deputy capital Yushi?
So is this move related to the attack and disappearance of the prince involved in his father's involvement? Is the family asking for help from this vice-constitutional?
Immediately, he thought of Liu's character, and then shook his head and smiled, realizing that he was thinking too much, where could his mother have such a calculation? This person should simply want to find him a long-term meal ticket to ensure income during drought and flood.
And the left deputy capital imperial history that Li Xuan knew was not only the deputy director of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who was responsible for supervising the hundred officials, but also an extremely powerful celebrity.
Here I have to mention Confucianism - the Confucian scholars of this world are not all weak scholars who have no power to restrain the chicken, and some of them have mastered the essence of Confucianism and collected Confucianism, and they also have extraordinary strength. Their strength is not inferior to high-level martial arts and martial arts, and even more powerful.
Therefore, many people think that the so-called Confucianism is actually one of the variants of the ancient qi practitioners.
Within their Six Dao Divisions, there are many Confucian scholars who have mastered extraordinary powers, and they have always been the main force in suppressing demons.
"So this marriage has already been decided?"
Li Xuan was a little entangled, he was very disgusted with this kind of marriage of his parents' orders and matchmakers' words, thinking that this marriage must come down, so what should he do?
People don't care about Li Xuan's original ridiculous straw bag, and they don't dislike their family is in trouble now, this refusal is really unspeakable.
What made him breathe a sigh of relief was that the maid shook her head slightly: "No, Mrs. Xi originally agreed." But recently, this lady said that Master Xi had promised his daughter in her early years to let her choose her own marriage, so the mistress arranged for you to meet her. β
Soon they walked to a pavilion, and when Li Xuan stepped inside, he saw a figure wearing a lake-colored dress standing on the side of the pavilion. After she heard the sound of the bead curtain, she also turned to look at Li Xuan.
This is a girl with a goose egg face and a slightly plump figure, and her facial features are delicate and lovely. After glancing at Li Xuan, a touch of strangeness flashed in her eyes, as if she was surprised by Li Xuan's appearance, but then her eyes became cold, and a trace of meaning floated: "You are the Li family Erlang?"
"It's Li Xuan!" Li Xuan hugged his fists according to the etiquette of this era: "I've seen Miss Xi-"
But just as he was about to say something, the girl pointed to the grass outside: "Do you recognize what it is?"
Li Xuan looked over, and then frowned: "Toad?"
"It's a toad. The girl corrected, and then sneered: "It's this kind of thing, I think about eating swan meat every day." β
Li Xuan's face instantly turned cold: "The girl's words are too much, even if the girl doesn't look down on Li, then there is no need to speak ill of her." β
Although he also felt that the original body was a bastard second ancestor before, it was indeed a girl who had spoiled others. But these words of the other party also crossed the line.
"I'm afraid that if I don't say that, some people will still pounce on them like skinless dogs. β
The girl squinted at Li Xuan, still in a hard tone: "You are sincere and want to blackmail Entu to repay you, so you are not allowed to say it? You are nothing more than for the sake of my mother's thin skin and soft heart, and you are bullying each other with the fact that the Xi family owes your family a little favor." But I, Xi Qiaoyun, am not easy to bully!"
Li Xuan's teeth bulged, and then he hugged his fists at the opposite Miss Xi: "It's still the same sentence, girl, you are reluctant, then there is no need to add bad words, farewell!"
Although there is anger in his chest, he can't beat this chick for this thing? Standing on the opposite side, it is not inappropriate to regard Li Xuan's original body and the current sincerity Bofu as a fire pit.
But just as Li Xuan turned his head and walked out of the pavilion, the girl behind him laughed again: "Evil words? Don't you look at what you are now? Your sincerity Bofu will fall sooner or later, you Li Xuan's gold and jade are ruined outside, what is it not a toad?"
Li Xuan's body paused, and then he lifted the bead curtain and walked out without any mud and water.
At this time, Liu's personal maid was still waiting outside, and her face was also pale. Although this person was outside the pavilion, he obviously heard the movement inside.
Li Xuan could only sigh: "You can go back to your mother, although this marriage is blown, you can't blame me." β
"The slaves and maids heard it. The maid bowed slightly, but still glared angrily in the direction of Tingxie: "The good godfather learned that it was not our wife who first mentioned this marriage, but two months ago, Xi Mansion first invited a matchmaker to come to the door to say goodbye. Moreover, nine years ago, Lord Xi offended the Minister of Power, was dismissed from office, and was sentenced to prison. It was also Mrs. Xi who came to ask Mrs. for help, and asked her uncle to come forward and help her be exonerated and reinstated! At the beginning, Mrs. Xi's words were sincere, but the slave and maid remembered it vividly, saying what kind of life and life, and the chain was tied to the grass to repayββ"
Her voice was as cold as jade, not particularly high-pitched, but it attracted the crowd of people passing around to look sideways.
Li Xuan also looked at the past dumbfounded, in the memory of the original body, the personal maid named Leng Yurou beside the Liu family has always been cold, silent, and has always been calm and calm, and there is almost nothing that can make her lose her temper.
But I didn't expect that today, this woman, who was nicknamed the ice beauty by her original body more than once, would actually speak out directly, and her words were spicy to this point.
