The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, that is, the day before the Hangzhou Mansion Oiran Competition, Li Pan sent someone to send an invitation card to invite Xu Xian's 'Deyue Tower' to the banquet. Xu Xian didn't close the door to thank the guests, and happily took it, saying that he would definitely go.

Since the other party had already sent invitations, it was definitely impossible for Xu Xian to dodge over.

This kind of thing can't hide from the first day of junior high school, and the monk can't run away from the temple, even if Xu Xian refuses an invitation, there will inevitably be a second and third.

In this case, it is better to accept the invitation as soon as possible and understand the matter as soon as possible.

Anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and Xu Xian also wants to meet this former No. 1 talent in Jiangnan.

He was also very curious about Li Pan in his heart, and wanted to see how talented this person was, and whether he was as powerful as the legend.

Deyue Tower, is a famous place in Hangzhou, and is also quite famous in the whole Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and is one of the three green buildings.

The cost here is extremely high, and even just drinking a glass of sake is a price that ordinary people can't imagine.

Of course, if it is a very famous talent, not to mention a world-famous talent like Xu Xian and Li Pan, even if it is just a very famous talent in Hangzhou Mansion, and can do good poetry, generally speaking, when you come to this kind of place, in fact, most of them can be done without spending money!

Because there will be famous prostitutes who will take the initiative to pay for you, and if you can make a poem for her, they will give you silver.

In the Dali Dynasty, there was no shortage of talented but very down-and-out scholars, who relied on the women of the Qinglou to support their studies.

Xu Xian looked up at the three gilded signboards in Deyue Tower, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There is no worry or fear in my heart, some are just curious, and I am ready to have a literary battle with Li Pan to divide the victory and defeat.

But who knows, his guess was completely wrong......

......

Walking into Deyue Tower, there was no need for Xu Xian to introduce himself, and someone immediately greeted him respectfully and said to him: "Xu Gongzi, you are here." Li Pan Gongzi has already prepared good wine on the third floor, waiting for you. ”

Xu Xian is already famous in the entire Hangzhou Mansion, and if you ask a random person, they don't know who the prefect of Hangzhou Mansion is, but they must know who Xu Xian is. Even if Xu Xian's portrait is passed on by many people, it is not because the little guy in Deyuelou knows Xu Xian.

Even when Xu Xian walked into this green building full of rouge fragrance and full of warblers and swallows, he immediately became the focus of the most attention, and countless prostitutes cast warm eyes on him. It looked like a hungry wolf had seen its prey, and it was eager to pull Xu Xian over.

There is no way, Xu Xian is famous, and a great talent like Xu Xian is too attractive to them. If an ordinary prostitute can get Xu Xian's favor and make a poem at will, her status will be improved by I don't know how many times in an instant.

It's a pity that they know that Xu Xian was specially invited today, not for them.

Following behind the little guy, he came to the third floor of the Deyue Building.

There are very few private rooms, and general customers are not allowed to enter, and only VIPs can enter.

Pushing open the door and walking into a very wide box, one of them laughed loudly: "Brother Xu, you are finally here." Over the past year, I've heard your name I don't know how many times, and my ears are almost out of a cocoon. ”

The speaker was dressed in a white cloth robe, with his hair untied behind his back, a typical cloth coat and a scholar who had not achieved fame.

Obviously, there is no doubt that it is Li Pan.

Li Pan's figure looks quite thin under the slightly wide robe, but his appearance is good, even if he stands up, he still holds a bottle of wine in his hand, looking like a wanderer, and his behavior is not much stereotypical of a scholar, but looks relaxed and freehand. Talking to Xu Xian, he also has a bit of familiarity, not arrogant or informal.

Seeing Li Pan's appearance, Xu Xian was a little surprised to be honest.

It is rumored that Li Pan has already won the Jinshi, and it is very likely that he will win the top position in the palace examination, but for some unknown reasons, he was directly disqualified from the palace examination, and he was also stripped of his fame, and he could no longer participate in the scientific examination for the rest of his life, nor could he become an official.

Therefore, Li Pan is nostalgic for the flowers all day long, drunk and dreaming of death, and borrowing wine to kill his sorrows. Although the talent is still there, and sometimes there are popular classic poems circulating, they are all poems of children's affection, and they have long lost the fighting spirit of the past.

When I saw it today, Li Pan's appearance as a merry and talented man was true, but where did he seem to be a drunk and dreaming of death, and borrowing wine to kill his sorrows?

Obviously very optimistic, there is no attack at all because he can't become an official!

It seemed that he was somewhat satisfied with his current state.

And what made Xu Xian even more cautious was that Li Pan seemed to be very weak and weak, but Xu Xian felt a trace of danger from him!

It is not surprising that Li Pan, as the former No. 1 talent in Jiangnan, has already entered the Tao and cultivated, Xu Xian had already guessed it. But Li Pan's cultivation was so powerful that Xu Xian couldn't see through it at all, and when he felt threatened, it was completely unexpected.

You must know that now Xu Xianke has become a Yuan Baby, and he is already a rare master in the Dali Dynasty.

This Li Pan has also become a baby?

According to Xu Xian, although Li Pan also achieved the first three faces of the Jiangnan Genius Literary Association, he did not worship Confucianism like him and Fang Zhongyong.

What is the background of this person?

Could it be that the slightest uneasiness that the lady sensed was really because of Li Pan?

Although Xu Xian was surprised in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face, and he also nodded and said, "I have also heard of Brother Li's name a long time ago, and it is like thunder. ”

Li Pan laughed and said, "Come on, come on, please take a seat!"

After Xu Xian sat down, there was a woman wearing a long green dress next to him, pouring wine for Xu Xian. This woman should be a famous prostitute in Deyuelou, her appearance is very good, and her temperament is extremely good, with a sense of delicateness, but she is not the kind of deliberately pretended, so that men can't help but want to care for it after seeing it.

Li Pan introduced: "Come, let me introduce Brother Xu, this is the green pothos girl of Deyue Tower, and she will participate in this Hangzhou Mansion Oiran Competition tomorrow." Speaking of this, Li Pan paused, and asked Luluo again: "Lupoth, who is Brother Xu, I don't need to introduce it to you, right?"

The green pothos saluted to Xu Xian Shi Ran, and said with a slight opening of her lips: "Xu Xian Xu Gongzi, I have been longing for a long time, so naturally I don't need to introduce it." ”

Li Pan nodded, and then he didn't beat around the bush, looked at Xu Xian with a smile on his face, and said straight to the point: "Brother Xu should have a lot of guesses in his heart about my coming to Hangzhou Mansion this time, suspecting that I came with an unkind purpose, right?"

Xu Xian was puzzled in his heart, and he couldn't figure out the origin of this former No. 1 talent in Jiangnan.

But since the other party was so straightforward, Xu Xian didn't hide it, nodded and said, "That's how I guessed." But after going to the banquet today, I felt that I seemed to be thinking wrong. ”

Li Pan laughed and said: "It's not a secret, it's true that someone is sowing discord and wants to invite me to come to Brother Xu for your bad luck, but I refused." I came to Hangzhou this time for two purposes, but I didn't think about making trouble for you, Brother Xu. ”

Xu Xian remained silent and asked, "I don't know which two purposes?"

Li Pan glanced at the pothos and said, "First, it is to help the pothos compete for the position of the Oiran of Hangzhou Mansion. ”

"As for the second...... It's to help Brother Xu!"
