Chapter 36 The Yu Family's Birthday Banquet

"Who is this handsome scholar?" "It seems to be the son of Mr. Li Jingzhi." "I heard that he cured the poison of the red-tailed snake, could it be that he was invited because of his fame?"

"Not only that, it is said that Lord Shi's daughter has been infected with the disease for many days, and many famous doctors in Suzhou Mansion are helpless, and even Liu Wuye cannot be cured, but two days ago, the news came out that the disease has been cured. It is rumored that Li Xiaolangjun was invited to be cured at that time. The crowd was silent, looking at each other without saying a word.

Shen Yuanwai said: "Could this be the Li family's unicorn?" "How is it possible?" It must be Liu Wuye's wonderful rejuvenation, he was once the chief imperial doctor in the capital, although this disease has plagued him for a while, it can't be difficult for him. This Li Xiaolangjun must have happened to go to Master Cui's mansion, and it happened to be the right time. "What's more...... Then Li Xiaolangjun is young, and he may not have such high medical skills. ”

The rest of the people guessed and answered like this, which was amazing. But Shen Yuanwai asked, "Then how did he come to the banquet?" Just by curing the poison of the red-tailed snake, although the reputation in this apricot forest is not low, it will not be invited into the hall. When he said this, he made people quiet again. The few people who denied Li Qingxuan's cure of Miss Cui's illness were consciously answering skillfully, and they were suddenly a little annoyed when he asked this.

People are always curious, so there are a few more discussions. At this moment, a deep voice said: "I heard that the Li family and the Yu family had a great relationship back then, and the two families once had a marriage contract. The audience fell silent. "Perhaps...... Maybe it's not the Miss Yu family in the capital...... It is also possible that the other two young ladies of the Yu family ......" snapped, and someone slipped the wine glass and shattered it.

On the main table, Old Lady Yu was full of red light, and his gray hair seemed to be shiny, and he was about to speak. Beside him, a person suddenly said: "It's too early to start the table at this time." Old Lady Yu frowned slightly. The person who spoke was surnamed Zhu, the eldest son of Zhu County Ling of Haiyan County. This Zhu Gongzi was dressed in a lilac Confucian shirt, holding a folding fan lightly in his left hand, and said lightly: "It seems that the time has not yet arrived, and the hour has not yet arrived." ”

There are still many guests who have not arrived, but who dares to let the supervising imperial history wait? A chill passed through the eyes of the old lady Yu. That Liu Yushi didn't seem to care, and was talking and laughing with Liu Wuye in a low voice. The eyes of most people in the audience were not actually focused on Old Lady Yu, but on this Liu Yushi and Liu Wuye.

Liu Wuye still looks like he does everything casually, but he is much more energetic than the rumors, and he is not as depressed as that. As for this lowly and powerful Liu Yushi, although he is dressed plainly, he still can't help but be a little heavy. It's not some kind of power in hand, it's just the thick bookish atmosphere accumulated after decades of studying, just like an old gentleman in a college.

But no one dares to underestimate this seemingly ordinary old gentleman. Zhu Gongzi put down the folding fan and said to Liu Yushi: "It is said that Lord Liu is here, and you should not be waited, but the two who have not arrived are indispensable figures. At this time, it is really a little inappropriate. Hearing this, he seemed to want to make Liu Yushi wait, and everyone was surprised.

What is the identity of the two people who have not yet arrived? What is the origin of the two who have not yet arrived? Why is it so rude that Zhu Gongzi is so rude? If it is not handled well, it will offend this Lord who oversees the imperial history. Liu Yushi was having a good conversation with his friend Liu Wuye, and he didn't pay much attention to this banquet, so it was better to chat with an old friend who had not seen him for many years after eating a meal of wine and food. When people are old, I don't know if I will be able to see them again next time, and I don't know how many words I can say.

Hearing Zhu Gongzi speak, Liu Yushi waved his hand and said: "According to the number of etiquette, since some people have not arrived, wait for them, if they have not yet arrived after the original hour, they will start the banquet again." Liu Wuye seemed to smile and said, "Brother Liu, don't ask which two made you wait?"

Liu Yushi said: "Do you know?" Liu Wuye said: "I naturally know, but since this is the beginning of Zhu Gongzi, please ask him to say it." Zhu Gongzi gave a salute to Liu Wuye, and then said with a smile: "This first one, naturally, is Lord Assassin Shi, the Xiangbi Yu family has already prepared an invitation, even if Lord Assassin Shi does not come in person, I believe someone will be sent to come." But the time has not yet come, and it is inappropriate not to wait for Lord Shi to be assassinated. ”

Liu Yushi nodded and said, "Yes, Master Cui has a lot of opportunities and has little leisure, so I should respect it." Who is the other one?" Zhu Gongzi said: "This person's surname is Li, and he is a Jianghu Langzhong. Liu Wuye suddenly sneered. Jianghu Langzhong, and the doctor in the medicine hall, is a completely different identity.

Jianghu Langzhong has no fixed place, does not know the details, does not know good and evil, although he is also named as a doctor, treating diseases and saving people, but how many medical skills are not clear, and there are also cases of Jianghu Langzhong treating people to death and turning them away.

"Surname Li?" Liu Yushi was slightly surprised, and said: "I have heard that there is a brilliant Mr. Baiyun in Suzhou Mansion, and he is also surnamed Li. Isn't this the one you are talking about?" Li Jingzhi was invited to Beijing?

Many people looked at each other. Old lady Yu sighed. Zhu Gongzi was also slightly stunned, but finally smiled: "My lord is talking about Mr. Baiyun Li Jingzhi, he died of illness a few years ago, and what I am talking about is his only son, Li Qingxuan." "Gone?" Liu Yushi sighed slightly, and said with a smile: "Then how can this son of Mr. Baiyun be an indispensable figure alongside Lord Cui?"

Hearing Liu Yushi's words, it can be seen that Zhu Gongzi's trick of killing is extremely obvious, and the old lady Yu, who knows the inner middle and the bottom carefully, has a darker and darker face. Zhu Gongzi said with a smile: "I heard that this Li Qingxuan has worshiped Zhang Zhicheng, the Taoist head of Qionglong Mountain, as his teacher since he was a child, and he has learned some things like gods and ghosts, and he doesn't know how much medical skills he has, but he is a disciple of Taoism." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yushi was already a little displeased, and those who read the book were most disgusted with the nonsense of these bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods. Zhu Gongzi was secretly happy in his heart, if Liu Yushi had a bad feeling for that Li Qingxuan, it would be a great weight to say two words at a critical time. Thinking like this, Zhu Gongzi said again: "Actually, this person is insignificant, that is, he has ......."

I was about to talk about the marriage contract. At this moment, the old butler came in. Behind him, there was another person. Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a young man in white walking into the hall. Seeing this person, the smile on Zhu Gongzi's face became brighter and brighter, he shook the folding fan lightly, and said with a smile: "It's here." ”

Originally, the son of a famous scholar in the mountains and a young doctor was indeed insignificant, but after what Zhu Gongzi said before, everyone had already become interested. The characters at the wine table are all big names in Suzhou Mansion and even other state capitals, either celebrities in a certain aspect, or high-powered officials, or giants on the rich side.

These characters are all of extremely high status, and any look can make ordinary people palpitate. Many big people turned their heads and looked at it, and when they fell on ordinary people, it was like Mount Tai pressing on the top. Even the chief butler of the Yu family was breathless, but he had been a slave for decades, and he knew the way of being a slave, and he still looked very calm when he lowered his head.

But the most impressive thing is this young doctor dressed as a weak scholar. The person who came was only a young man, dressed in white clothes, with a face like a crown of jade, and his eyes were like stars, quite a bit of scholarly spirit, but he seemed to be weak, and he was a little fresh and handsome, and his demeanor was graceful. The young scholar looked at the big people in the hall, and he walked leisurely, showing an indifferent smile. Like the breeze and the moon, like the breeze coming. Thousands of pressures, just a flick away.

"Are you Li Qingxuan?" Liu Yushi looked at him, and couldn't help but be a little happy, although this young man was dressed plainly, he was full of culture, but he looked like an elegant scholar, and looking at his pure and dusty temperament, he was really a material that could be made. The previous displeasure with the identity of a Taoist disciple has long been thrown out of the clouds. Li Qingxuan bowed slightly and said, "It's down there." ”

Liu Yushi said with a smile: "What a little Langjun, you can make everyone present wait for you." Li Qingxuan confessed twice to everyone. The old butler led him to the table. "Wait!" Zhu Gongzi said slowly: "Since you came to the banquet, there should always be a congratulatory gift." ”

After Zhu Gongzi said that, he put down the folding fan, took out an object, offered it with both hands, and said to the old lady Yu: "Shicai only gave me a congratulatory gift from the Zhu family, and I forgot that I had another gift as a junior." At this time, although it is rude, it is rude, but please ask the old lady to accept it. ”

Old lady Yu glanced at it and raised her brows slightly. Even Liu Yushi showed a look of surprise. It was a wooden box, made of rosewood. Huanghua rosewood out of Annam and the South China Sea, like red sandalwood and red color, similar to the true fragrance, extremely precious. This wooden box alone costs dozens of taels of silver, which is comparable to the food and clothing of ordinary people for several years. What kind of treasure is such a precious wooden box?

As everyone watched, the wooden box slowly opened. It's autumn, and it's the season of autumn. As the wooden box slowly opened, a warmth slowly spread, very warm. At that time, an object the size of a fist, with a lilac body, was angular but had been smoothed. The surface is covered with folds, like tree bark. At first glance, it looks like a tree root.
