At the beginning of the lanterns, Li Xuan rode to the mansion of Xu Guo. Needless to say, there was a lot of traffic here, and the carriages outside had already stopped three blocks away.

When Li Xuan entered the door, he saw his two little friends Zhang Taishan and Peng Fulai from a distance, and then he was stunned.

At this time, Peng Fulai was wearing a snow-white Confucian shirt, a bachelor's scarf on his head, and a folding fan in his hand, looking polite. It's a pity that his tonnage is too big, and he doesn't wear that kind of elegant and dusty temperament.

Zhang Taishan is also about the same as wearing, only the clothes are royal blue, and the effect can be imagined according to Dian Wei Zhang Fei wearing a Confucian shirt.

Annoyingly, this guy also wears a flower on his sideburns.

Li Xuan only felt a burst of tooth soreness: "You two took the wrong medicine, why do you dress up like this?"

"You just took the wrong medicine!" Peng Fulai subconsciously replied first, and then covered his lips with a fan, and his small eyes were bone-lining: "Gaffe! Gaffe! Sorry brother, you are also full of wealth, how can your words be so rude?"

Zhang Taishan also shook the folding fan: "Exactly! As the poor brother said, we are all cultural people, and we should respect each other as guests." ”

"! After Peng Fu finished saying this, he exploded again: "Zhang Yue! If you dare to call me poor again, I will turn my face against you! You are poor, your whole family is poor!"

Li Xuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he knew that 'Zi Poor' was Peng Fulai's word, which was given by a great Confucian.

That Confucian probably looked down on a businessman like Peng Fulai, so when the Peng family begged to come to the door, he took the word 'poor child' to make a joke.

In fact, fortunately, most of the names and words of the ancients have the same meaning, similar, conformity, extension or opposite.

Peng Fulai's father was very happy, and it is said that he gave the Confucian a thousand gold on the spot, but Peng Fulai regarded this word as a lifelong shame.

Zhang Taishan was stunned: "So rich brother?"

Peng Fulai couldn't help but be entangled, he felt like he was calling an old farmer in the countryside.

"Yes, you still call my son poor, and I will make a special case for you today. ”

"What's going on?" Li Xuan asked impatiently, "Why are you dressed like a peacock, showing off your flowers, and pretending to be Sven?"

"Sorry, you don't know?" Peng Fulai was very surprised: "Today's garden party in the Duke of Xu's Mansion is actually the Duchess of Xu Guo entrusted by Concubine Zhang Guifei in the palace to choose a horse for Princess Changle. ”

Li Xuan couldn't help frowning: "Isn't Princess Changle missing?"

As far as he knew, this one was traveling with the second prince, and now his whereabouts are unknown.

In fact, he was very surprised before, when the prince and princess of the dynasty disappeared, this garden party was still held as usual, and the famous nobles in Nanjing City did not take imperial power too seriously, right?

"It's because this princess doesn't participate, otherwise I wouldn't like to come. Who wants to be a colt? If you can't be an official, you have to be in charge of the office, and when you go to bed, you have to respectfully say, 'Your Highness, the minister has given you wide clothes,' 'Your Highness, the minister has come in,' how aggrieved is this life?"

Zhang Tailai sneered, and then found that Li Xuan and Peng Fulai were both looking at him thoughtfully, and he was stunned: "What do you think I do?"

"We're looking at how long your face is. Peng Fulai smiled, then turned to Li Xuan and said: "What he said is right, it is precisely because the princess is not here that there will be so many people attending the banquet today, and the legendary twelve hairpins of Jinling, this time there are nine." But the one I want to ask to marry is Miss Xue Yunrou Xue from the capital. ”

In Li Xuan's mind, information about this Miss Xue was swept over in an instant—it was said that her father died early, leaving her with thousands of family fortunes, and her uncle was a master in the top five today, and his cultivation had broken through the twelve-story floor and entered the realm of heaven.

What is rare is that this woman is not only beautiful and peerless, but also gentle and versatile. The cultivation is also very good, and it is the outflow of the Daomen Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Thinking about it like this, Li Xuan was a little moved, this can save people from fighting for decades, and they can also climb a big backer.

"But what does it have to do with the way you look now?"

Peng Fulai couldn't help but 'hey': "It is said that Miss Xue's mother and daughter are both literary scholars, haven't you seen so many people pretending to be elegant?"

Only then did Li Xuan notice that a large group of martial arts nobles here were dressed as literati today. Several guys who usually open their mouths are gan and closed their mouths are grass, but today they have changed to a polite appearance.

Li Xuan hesitated, but put aside the idea of changing clothes, and followed Peng Fulai and the two to the backyard of Xu Guogong's mansion.

This is the time when the dinner party begins, and the garden party does not start until after dark.

What makes Li Xuan regret is that although the folk customs of this world are relatively open, similar to the Tang Dynasty in another world, there are still basic male and female defenses, so the male and female guests of the garden party cannot sit at the same table.

In addition, Nanjing's scholarly family and martial arts nobles are not mixed together, don't look at this group of nobles and nobles are dressed up in a gentle and elegant manner, but when the banquet is entered, it is once again clear.

Xu Guogong's mansion may also be worried about a fight or bullying between the two parties, so it arranged an attic for each side.

- Li Xuan's predecessor did this kind of bastard, he once teamed up with a group of gentlemen to beat a group of Confucian students to cry and cry for their mothers.

When everyone was seated, the situation became awkward, and in another attic across a field of flowers, from time to time someone chanted against each other, and there was a high-pitched chanting, but the atmosphere here was extremely dull, and no one spoke for half a moment after the feast began.

After a long time, the son of the Changwenbo family may not be able to stand it, and after coughing, he took the initiative to raise his wine glass: "Gentlemen, don't drink stuffy wine, I might as well wait for a wine order to help the wine?"

"That's what we mean!" Someone immediately responded eagerly: "What rules do you dare to ask?"

Changwen Bo Shizi groaned slightly: "How about an elegant order today?

But once again, the whole attic could hear a pin drop, and everyone fell silent, and scraped the proposer with a knife-like gaze.

Peng Fulai leaned into Li Xuan's ear: "Isn't it difficult for us? He will have no friends in the future." ”

On the forehead of Changwen Bo Shizi, cold sweat was already oozing: "If the poetry order is not good, then the couplet?

The atmosphere in the building was getting colder and colder, and when a cold wind blew from here, Zhang Taishan couldn't help but interject: "Or, you can still draw your fists?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes shifted from Changwen Bo Shizi's side to Zhang Taishan's body, and most of them were full of disdain and disdain.

About a moment later, Duchess Xu Guo and several ladies walked into the attic called 'Listening to the Rain Building' through the back door.

"Mrs. Xue, if you don't look down on those handsome people who are from scholarly families, you can also consider our noble families in Nanjing City. The literary style in Jiangnan is prosperous, so even the children of the martial arts family are mostly bandit gentlemen. ”

But when she opened the curtain and looked into the hall through the screen, she was stunned.

I saw that most of the people here were shirtless, and waved their hands with red faces: "Sanyuanlang!
