Xu Xian was going to Zhao Ji's banquet, Li Yuanhui frowned slightly when he saw this, and seemed to be a little surprised that Xu Xian and Duanwang had such a good relationship, but he naturally couldn't stop it.

As a great Confucian of the current dynasty, although even if the prince saw him, he was treated politely, but it does not mean that he can really despise the majesty of the royal family and ignore a prince who is deeply favored by the emperor!

"Hanwen, you go to the banquet with King Duan, and I will return to the country first. Li Yuanhui said.

However, he was secretly thinking in his heart: It seems that after Xu Hanwen comes back, he will have to talk to him about the current chaotic situation in the capital. He is now a celebrity in the eyes of His Majesty, and he is so valued at a young age before he comes out, not only has he become a teaching assistant doctor of Guozijian, but he can be called the first person in ancient times. He was even entrusted with a heavy task and became a special adviser to the Tea and Horse Division, and I don't know how many people were staring at him. This Duanwang is not simple, it's best not to have deep friendships......

"Master Li walks slowly. Zhao Ji smiled and watched Li Yuanhui get into the carriage and leave, before he made an inviting gesture to Xu Xian: "Brother Hanwen, please." ”

Duan Wang's carriage was gorgeous and comfortable, but he said that the place where Zhao Ji invited Xu Xian to eat was not an inn restaurant, but came to a rather remote and quiet manor in the west of the city.

The name of the manor here is so strange that it was named 'Wangjiang Tower' for some reason.

The carriage entered the manor and finally stopped in a wooded area with rockeries, gardens, and ponds.

Ying Tianfu just had a snow yesterday, and there is still a lot of snow in the forest that has not yet melted, and the scenery is particularly beautiful. At this time, there were several stoves burning beside the pond, and several pots of good wine were warmed on them, which made the surrounding temperature rise a lot, very warm, and the air was full of the crisp aroma of wine.

Not far from the stove, there is a pavilion, there are tables and stools in the pavilion, several maids are shuttling back and forth, all kinds of exquisite dishes have begun to be placed on the table, and there is a steaming mist, the cooking time is very accurate, Zhao Ji Xu Xian has just arrived, and the dishes have just come out of the pot.

"Hanwen, you have a good day today! To be honest, apart from my sixteenth sister, you are also the first guest I brought here to eat!" Zhao Ji led Xu Xian into the pavilion and said with a smile.

Xu Xian was a little curious in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Duanwang Gourd, and what kind of place this Wangjiang Tower was.

The table is full of delicacies, and every dish is full of color and flavor, just looking at the way the dishes look and smell the fragrance, people can't help but drool and move their index fingers. I'm afraid that even the imperial dining room in the palace will not be able to make better food than this.

Soon, the owner of Wangjiang Tower also appeared, a beautiful woman who looked like everyone's ladies.

He is not very old, about twenty years old, with a gentle and moving temperament, slim and elegant, with an extremely strong bookish atmosphere, and is obviously a person who reads poetry and books.

Moreover, what surprised Xu Xian after taking a closer look was that this woman still had a 'literary atmosphere'.

This means that she is not only full of poetry and books, but also brilliant in writing, if she can participate in the imperial examination, she will definitely not let her eyebrows be shaved, and she can make most men embarrassed!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to have no fame, but she has a literary atmosphere. This is already comparable to Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong at the beginning!

"Hanwen, I won't introduce you first, can you guess the identity of the beautiful woman in front of you?" Zhao Ji asked deliberately and suspiciously.

Xu Xian didn't pretend to be stupid, and asked tentatively: "The girl should be one of the three talented women in the capital, right?"

There are very few male scholars in the world who can be literate before taking the imperial examination, let alone women?

I'm afraid that there are only the three talented girls who are famous all over the world and have more than 100 poems, Yu Youwei, Liu Caichun, and Xue Tao!

"I really can't hide anything from you. Zhao Ji laughed, his expression was quite complacent, and said: "This is Xue Tao, one of the three talented women!"

"Xue Tao has seen Xu Gongzi. The gentle woman saluted.

Xu Xian also hurriedly saluted.

Even if he had already guessed that this woman was one of the three talented women, he couldn't help but be surprised after confirming it at this time.

Xue Tao, whose name is Hongdu, is a person from Shuzhong, and his family moved from Shuzhong to Yingtianfu in the capital at the age of twelve.

The name of this manor, 'Wangjiang Tower', was chosen by Xue Tao herself, to commemorate a place in her hometown of Shuzhong.

Xue Tao can be said to be the female version of Fang Zhongyong, who became famous at a young age, and when he was eight or nine years old, many high-quality poems had already flowed out, and he became even more famous after arriving in the capital.

However, as a daughter, she was congenitally restricted, and she could not participate in the imperial examination like Fang Zhongyong. In addition, less than two years after migrating from Shuzhong to the capital, her father fell seriously ill and died in Huangquan, and the family was in the middle of the road. Xue Tao was fourteen years old that year, and his life with his mother was immediately in trouble. Xue Tao had no choice but to join the music club at the age of 16 and become a prostitute who did not sell his body.

Perhaps because of the misfortunes of life, Xue Tao has more inspiration to tell in writing poetry. Over the years, she has written more than 300 poems, of which hundreds are excellent works and widely circulated.

As a result, Xue Tao's name as one of the three talented women is well deserved!

However, Xue Tao has broken away from the music and lives in this beautiful 'Wangjiang Tower' manor, which is hidden by Duan Wang Zhao Ji's golden house, and Xu Xian doesn't know.

Xu Xian and Zhao Ji sat down to eat, did not let the maid serve, Xue Tao personally helped the two pour wine, she said a little shyly: "I am from Shuzhong, most of my cooking skills are also Shu dishes, the taste is spicy, and I don't know if Xu Gongzi is used to eating as a Jiangnan person." ”

Xu Xian has tasted several dishes, although he will not gobble it up, but he has never stopped using chopsticks, and said without hesitation: "Although I am from Jiangnan, my wife is also from Shuzhong, so my taste is usually spicy." Moreover, these dishes are so delicious that they can be called 'only in the sky, and it is rare to smell them in the world', no one will not be used to eating them, right?"

When Zhao Ji heard this, he suddenly remembered and said: "Yes, the Hanwen lady is also from Shuzhong!" Speaking of this, Zhao Ji sighed a little: "Shuzhong is really a beauty! The Hanwen lady is a fairy-like appearance, if it is really compared, Hongdu is a few points worse than the three talented women in the capital......"

When people say that they are not as beautiful as other women in person, most women will probably be unhappy in their hearts, especially women who are extremely beautiful themselves.

Although, Bai Suzhen's appearance is indeed incomparable, even the three talented women cannot be compared.

However, Xue Tao was not dissatisfied at all, and said modestly: "If you can make a talented person like Xu Gongzi fall in love, naturally she will not be an ordinary woman, and my Pu Liu posture is naturally incomparable." ”

"Although it is inferior, Hongdu, you are not a willow. Zhao Ji laughed and said, took Xue Tao's hand and asked her to sit down to eat together, and then asked Xu Xian: "Hanwen, why didn't your lady follow you to the capital?"

"My mother is pregnant, so it's not appropriate to travel long distances. Xu Xian explained.

"I see. Zhao Ji nodded.

The weather outside is cold, and the snow is heavy and the pines are pressing, but here it is warm like spring, and the sound of talk and laughter continues.

Push the cup and change the lamp, the wine has passed three rounds, and the dish has five flavors.

Xu Xian saw that the timing was about the same, so he considered his words and begged Zhao Ji to help him find Xu Mu'e's whereabouts......
