The next day, it was already seven o'clock, Jingkou, Anping Town, Jiang Family Courtyard.
This is a typical Jiangnan house, covering an area of more than ten acres, and is divided into two floors: an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard. The high walls of the inner courtyard are faintly visible. In case of emergency, such as attacks by thieves, family members can retreat to the inner courtyard.
, guard against the high wall.
This principle is the same as the outer city and the inner city. Only nobles like the Jiang family who have seen the world and have been high officials would settle down in a place like Jingkou.
It’s just that the outer courtyard is obviously much more lively now. The inside and outside of the courtyard are decorated with lanterns and streamers, hung with red silks and satins. Even the trees are draped in red and gold, giving a festive look. Although it is not announced publicly, people just pass by.
You will know that today is a day of great joy for the Jiang family!
Liu Yu was dressed in a clean and tidy sky blue cloth, his hair was neatly combed, and he tied it with a tangible wooden hairpin. He also put on a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, and stood at a big banyan tree outside the Jiang family courtyard.
Get down and look at the door of the compound opposite.
There was a lot of traffic outside the Jiang Family Courtyard. From time to time, well-dressed and wealthy-looking people came here in carriages, escorted and followed by servants. Those who got off the car looked either rich or noble.
Many people greeted me directly outside the hospital and were polite.
Two young men in their twenties, wearing brocade robes and silk clothes, stood at the door, constantly bowing and saluting the guests who came to the Jiang family. The Jiang family servants, who were uniformly dressed in khaki servant uniforms, looked like ants and
Worker bees were busy coming in and out, leading guests into the courtyard.
Liu Muzhi's voice rang urgently behind Liu Yu: "Send the slave, send the slave!"
Liu Yu turned his head and looked at Liu Muzhi, who was sweating profusely and wearing a clean white gown and a Confucian scarf, and smiled slightly: "Why are you here just now? According to my understanding of you, there is
It's delicious, you should have arrived an hour ago."
Liu Muzhi laughed and patted his big belly: "What's the rush? As long as you run more on the road and consume more, you will be hungrier in a while and you can eat more."
Liu Yu shook his head: "You are really a starving ghost reincarnated. By the way, why didn't Madam come?"
Liu Muzhi's expression changed slightly, and he sighed: "She refuses to come, and no matter how much you try to persuade her, it's useless. To tell you the truth, the main reason why I delayed coming here today is because of her."
Liu Yu felt bright and nodded: "You came uninvited today, right?"
Liu Muzhi looked at the door opposite and the bustling visitors, and gritted his teeth: "Now that things have happened, I won't hide it from you, slave. Yes, I am coming today on my own, and the Jiang family brothers did not invite me. In fact,
My father-in-law asked someone to secretly bring a message to my house, saying that there will be many opportunities to meet dignitaries today, and he asked me to seize them. As for his son, he has no good solution."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "It turns out that this wedding banquet is an opportunity for you to make friends with noble people. I understand, then you should perform better today and not be too greedy."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "It's natural. With wealth, you can't eat anything you want. Let's go, slave, let's go in." He said, straightened his clothes, adjusted his breathing, raised his head and went to
Go forward.
A fine birch carriage slowly stopped at the door of Jiang's house. The driver jumped off the front shaft, picked up an exquisite small wooden document, and put it in the back of the carriage. The varnished back door opened, and a thirty-year-old man
A scribe in Tsing Yi who was many years old, with fair complexion and a few wisps of beard, stepped out of the carriage.
The Jiang brothers' eyes lit up and they rushed to greet him. Jiang Bo, who was dressed in blue, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Farewell and He Ken are here to come. My Jiang family is really flourishing."
The scribe in blue also smiled and said in return: "How can I not come to participate in the happy event of my mentor's family?"
Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi, who were walking past, stopped and looked at the three people chatting in the distance. Liu Yu frowned: "Don't drive? This is not a very high official position, right? The county guard and chief historian in front also have it."
There are a few, but none of them are as enthusiastic as the Jiang brothers."
Liu Muzhi nodded thoughtfully: "This Zhang Biejia's accent sounds like he is from the Kuaiji area in the south. Is he from the local Wuxing wealthy family like the Shen family?"
A familiar voice sounded behind the two of them: "This Zhang Fashun from Lujiang is a popular figure in the court recently. If you two intend to have an official career in the future, you should pay attention to the situation of these people."
Liu Yu's expression changed, and he turned to look back, only to see that Liu Linzong was still dressed as he was that day, but today, standing next to him was a young scribe in flowing white clothes, with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel, and he had begun to grow a beard.
, a pair of bright eyes, looking up and down at Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Here you are, Mr. Liu. Are you also here to attend the Jiang family's wedding today?"
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips: "Among the officials in the court, I have never heard of anyone with the surname Liu who has a high position. Since the death of the famous scholar Liu Tan, only today's minister Liu Tan has shot Liu Dan. May I ask, sir, but Liu Tan
Where’s the pseudonym?”
Liu Linzong smiled and waved his hand: "My little friend, there is no need to speculate so much. We are just passers-by who meet by chance. We can just let it happen. The name is just a code name, so what does it mean? Isn't it good now? If there is fate,
Our identities will naturally be made public."
Liu Muzhi's fat face blushed slightly, and he cupped his hands and said: "It's the junior who is being rude, senior, please don't mind."
Liu Linzong looked at Liu Yu: "Liu Lizheng, last time I saw your performance at the martial arts conference, it was really wonderful. This time I revisited my old place and brought a new friend here. This is mine.
I have an acquaintance for many years, my surname is Li and my given name is Zhizhi. This time I am traveling to Jingkou with me. I never expected to meet you here."
The white-clothed scribe named Li Zhizhi saluted Liu Yu: "I've heard about Liu Lizheng's heroism for a long time, and I'm fascinated by it. I didn't expect to see him in person today. I'm really lucky."
Liu Yu quickly replied: "Brother, I think highly of Liu too much. He is just a village martial artist. He has nothing to boast about. Besides, I am no longer upright."
Liu Linzong was a little surprised and said curiously: "Oh, isn't it correct? What's the reason? Could it be that he offended Governor Diao that day and he took revenge afterwards?"
Liu Yu sighed: "Not really, it's just that Governor Diao used the Emperor's Scepter to order the people of Jingkou to contribute to the country, impose heavy taxes, and asked the younger generation to supervise the matter. The younger generation did not agree with Governor Diao's approach, so he resigned from Li Zhengzhi.
Recruited."
Liu Linzong nodded and stroked his long beard: "So that's it. It's good. You and Governor Diao are not on the same page after all. It's unlikely that you'll be happy working under him in the future. A manly man has ambitions in all directions and has great skills.
Why worry about having nothing to do?”
Having said this, Liu Linzong looked at Zhang Biejia, who had been led to the door by Jiang Lang himself, and smiled slightly: "Just like this, who would take his sister seriously before she married into the palace?"
Woolen cloth?"
