Chapter 316 Love with a Sword (1)

Liu Zhigu's mansion is located in the northernmost part of the Nancheng. There are more than a dozen yards in the south city, among which Wangfeng yard is the most famous. Many noble families, including the Yang family, have their owner's mansions in this yard.

Li Xun followed Li Xiao to Wangfengfang and looked around. The environment was beautiful and the trees were covered with villas of officials and aristocratic families. Most of them were small and exquisite, elegant and unique.

Now it is time to attend the yamen. A large number of pedestrians on the streets in Wangfengfang are wearing official uniforms, while others are also boutique clothes and jade faces. At first glance, they are born in wealthy families.

"Boss Li, have you never been here?"

Seeing Li Xun looking around there, Li Xiao couldn't help but ask strangely.

Wangfengfang is still very famous in the capital and is considered a tourist attraction. When some outsiders come to the capital, they will come to see the name of this place and wander around to feel the power and wealth here.

“This place is pretty good.”

Li Xun's face turned slightly red, and there was no positive answer. It was embarrassing to say it. He has lived in Fengjing for six or seven years, and Li Xun has never been to many places.

Li Xiao smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to lead the way.

After a while, the two of them came to a huge house covering an area of ​​vast land. In front of the gate, there were two mighty and majestic stone lions more than ten feet high. At the height of the gate, there was a horizontal plaque with dragons and phoenixes saying "The Duke of Sui State."

Liu Zhigu's family is also considered a famous family, but the most glorious period is the generation of Liu Zhigu's great-grandfather Liu Que. At that time, the Liu family, which had always passed down through documents, had a famous general who was good at fighting. When the Wuzong Dynasty made great achievements and the Hu clan invaded a large number of invasions, Liu Que turned the tide and defended Huizhou, the gateway of the inner gate of the pass with weak troops, and bought precious time for the court. He was the greatest hero of the complete turning point of the entire war. Although Liu Que eventually survived and died in the battle, Wuzong did not forget his merits and posthumously named him Duke of Sui and passed on for three generations.

In front of the Liu Mansion, there were quite lively people coming and going. From time to time, handsome young men came on a tall horse, while the famous lady was riding a carriage.

Li Xun whispered from the side: "Did these people come early?"

"That's of course, the Minglan Poetry Festival is in the capital, and the circle of young ladies is very famous. It is held at a constant time, sometimes once a month, sometimes once every three or five months. The last Poetry Festival was four months ago at the Yang family."

Li Xiao smiled, then approached Li Xun and said mysteriously: "A talented man and beautiful woman, it is a poetry meeting. In my opinion, it is a blind date meeting. If you see each other, good things will come together, hehe."

Li Xun nodded, which means a party like a party, but it is more literary and artistic on the outside.

"Why is it called Minglan Poetry Club?"

"This poetry meeting was first initiated by Princess Minglan. It has been around for many years. Although Princess Minglan is no longer there, the poetry meeting will continue."

The two of them did not rush to go in, stood not far away, talking.

As time passed, more and more people were coming. Nearly a hundred carriages were parked in the open space in front of the gate. Many coachmen with fresh clothes and servants were gathered together to whisper, and many guards in military uniforms could guess that a grand gathering was held in the mansion.

"Stern brother, come here quickly."

At this time, someone saw Li Xiao not far away, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Li Xiao said to Li Xun: "Boss Li, let's go over."

Li Xun nodded and said, "Let's go."

The gate of the mansion was quite lively. More than a dozen handsome young men and women stood on the side of the gate and did not rush in. They were waiting for others. They were gathering together in three or two, whispering something. Most of the men were in their early twenties, wearing gorgeous brocade robes, with red lips and white faces, and graceful demeanor. They looked like they were dressed up in front of the door.

There are also many women, all of whom are very young. Many people wear high-waisted long skirts, colorful silk on their shoulders, golden hairpins, jade shaking on their heads, red makeup on their faces, and light silk fan in their hands, looking around, looking around, looking gorgeous and colorful.

There were more than a dozen tall servants standing on both sides of the steps, led by a butler, who were greeting guests.

"San brother, when will I come back?"

A group of seven or eight people came over, five men and three women. The man in the lead was a little older, twenty-five or six years old, dressed extraordinaryly and looked arrogant.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "I just came back yesterday and I haven't had time to find you."

There is an older brother and an older sister on Li Xiao, who is ranked third in the family. In his circle of friends, everyone calls him third brother.

"Boss Li, his name is Gao Feng, his father is the governor of Hezhou, and his third uncle is the transshipment envoy of Lingnan Road. In my circle, his origin is considered ordinary."

Li Xiao whispered to Li Xun, then said loudly to Gao Feng: "This is the famous Li Xun and Li Boss Li, currently the governor of Wuzhou and the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi of Longyou West Road. He is my eldest brother. You must not be rude."

Li Xun?

The faces of the people present changed slightly. They had never dealt with Li Xun, but they had long heard of Li Xun's reputation. The elder brothers among the several famous young men in the capital were all trapped in the hands of this person.

"It turns out it's Brother Li Xun and Li, I'm polite here."

Gao Feng hurriedly bowed and the other young ladies also called out Brother Li.

Li Xun stretched out his hand and raised it with a smile, "You are now Li Xiao's friends and brothers, that is, my friends and brothers, you don't have to be so polite among brothers."

Hearing Li Xun say this, Li Xiao immediately smiled and laughed: "Boss Li is right. Everyone is brother, so there is no need to be so polite."

Several people chatted politely. A girl with good looks on the side was staring at Li Xiao, with a strong love in her eyes. At this time, she interrupted and said in a tender voice: "Brother Li Xiao, you promised to take me to Wangfengchi to row a boat. It's been more than a year since this promise. When will you fulfill this promise?"

Li Xiao coughed twice and said, "Isn't this always in Longyou? I don't have a chance? After a while, when I'm free, I will definitely take you to Fengchi to row."

The girl refused to give in and said, "When should I give you a certain time?"

"This...let me think about it."

Li Xiao pretended to be confused. Gao Feng, as a good brother, knew that Li Xiao had no intention of this girl, so he interrupted and led everyone into the Liu Mansion.

Li Xiao intentionally kept a distance from the girl. Li Xun saw it from the side and laughed and joking, "Where do people like you like?"

Li Xiao laughed and said, "There are so many people who like me. Boss Li, I am not as good as you in wars. In that regard, you are far worse than me."

Li Xun smiled and didn't say these bastards to him.
