The waiter led three men in fine clothes up to the second floor and sat on the other side by the window. After the three sat down, they ordered some side dishes and chatted animatedly.
Liu Yun noticed that the man in purple glanced back and forth, as if he was looking for something. When she touched the man's elegant and handsome face, she frowned slightly. As she expected, some things were destined, even if she was reborn.
It can't be changed either.
They were chatting enthusiastically, and the three people at the table were also chatting enthusiastically. One of them clapped the table and said plausibly: "When using troops to fight, we should pay attention to pre-emption and quick victory. Soldiers are more valuable to win than long. This is the principle of quick victory.
.I have only heard of people who prefer to be clumsy and seek quick victory, but I have never seen people who resorted to tricks and procrastinated for a long time."
From this sentence alone, we can know that they are talking about the war being fought in the north.
Speaking of this battle, it is strange. The Liang Kingdom repeatedly provoked the border. Weiyuan General Ling Wangye led his troops to drive away the enemy and won three games in a row. He should have driven the Liang Kingdom out of the country in one go, but General Weiyuan did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it.
Instead, they set up camp at the border, not knowing what the inexplicable intermission of the battle meant.
Liu Yun thought of the news she asked Zi Qian to go out to inquire about yesterday. If General Weiyuan suddenly stopped his troops, something must have happened to the military camp or something happened to the court. But except for the plague, she really couldn't think of the north.
What big things happened during the war?
"When the two countries are at war, the people will inevitably be displaced. The lives of the people on the border are extremely poor. Perhaps General Weiyuan does not want to bring the flames of war to the people on the border again, so he does not pursue the victory." A steady voice sounded, and this person continued
There was a sense of wisdom in his back. He stretched out his hand to pour a glass of wine, and then said, "Never war is the life that the people want."
His voice was not loud, but it penetrated into the hearts of everyone, including Liu Yun. Everyone looked at him with admiration in their eyes. They were all scholars, but this person's achievements were beyond everyone's reach.
of.
"It's well said. One general's success will lead to thousands of bones. The country wins the battle, but the people will always lose." Mr. Chen suddenly stood up, raised his tea cup, and said to the three people over there: "Young Master has the heart of the world.
, Chen Mou admires him greatly."
The man in purple clothes who spoke suddenly turned around, with a pair of deep and wise eyes on his ordinary appearance. He just waved his hand towards Chen Yi: "Sir, you are ridiculous. I just said a few words from my heart. How can I say that?"
You have to have the world in mind."
"Young Master, please do not be modest. Chen heard what the Young Master just said clearly and admired him very much. It's just that he didn't know the Young Master's name." Chen Yi has always cherished talents. It was rare to see a person with such a smart mind. Naturally, he was busy making friends.
"I'm at Gu Lixuan." The man in purple stood up and bowed slightly, showing good etiquette.
"It turns out to be Mr. Gu. I'm so glad to meet you." Gu Lixuan's name is well known in Linyang City. The concubines of Mr. Gu are like stars in the sky. He has more descendants from the Gu family, but only two of them are known to everyone.
It is known to everyone that one is Gu Yantao, the eldest son who inherited the Gu family business, and the other is Gu Lixuan, who was born from a lowly brothel girl. These two sons of the Gu family are the only ones with outstanding talents. Unfortunately, Gu Lixuan's background is too low, and he is the superior after all.
A bastard who can't stand up to the challenge.
When everyone heard that it was Gu Li
The prodigal sons of the Gu family could humiliate him at will. Supposedly, he was a son after all, but his status in the Gu family was not even as good as that of a favored concubine.
Liu Yun noticed the sympathy in Jin Han's eyes and frowned slightly. She knew Gu Lixuan's character better than anyone else. This man's deep thoughts and forbearance were on par with Shen Yi's. He was so humiliated and oppressed.
As a person, all his patience is just looking for an opportunity to explode, and his gentleness and cowardice are all protective colors.
"It's better to meet by chance than to invite Mr. Gu to come and sit with us. Liuyun, what do you think?" Liuyun is always the host, so naturally Chen Yi wants to ask her, but she also believes that Liuyun won't
Rejected.
"Even Mr. Gu is full of praise for Mr. Gu. He is naturally a role model for us to learn from. Liu Yun will not miss this opportunity to get to know a talented man." Liu Yun's smile was very superficial, but everyone already felt that he was against such a domineering person like Liu Yun.
Said, this is already a very honorable thing.
Gu Lixuan and his two friends were not polite and sat down at Liu Yun Chen Yi's table. The waiter came to add a few more dishes, and everyone started chatting again.
"Were you talking about the war in the north just now?" Scholars have no chance to go to the battlefield, but everyone has a patriotism in their hearts. Naturally, they hope that General Weiyuan can win every battle, expel the enemy from the country, and restore peace to the people of Daying.
A world of joy.
"Yes, the Liang Kingdom has repeatedly invaded the country, and the people who have suffered are the common people. It's a pity that Bai Yiyi is a scholar. He can't carry his shoulders and resist, and he can't go to the battlefield to serve the country." Gu Lixuan's eyes showed that he was a scholar.
The look of disappointment and the tight lips revealed a little bit of disappointment.
Because of his words, everyone felt the scholar's powerlessness and lowered their heads one after another. Jin Han, on the other hand, looked up at Gu Lixuan curiously. She rarely went out except for the academy, so she rarely came into contact with men. In addition,
She is introverted and quiet by nature. Even in the academy, she always stays in a corner and rarely interacts with others.
But this ancient young master gave her a very different feeling. He was different from those young men in the academy who claimed to be talented. He was humble and polite, and his gestures did not have the slightest humility of a concubine. Instead, he was as gentle as jade.
What surprised her the most was that Gu Lixuan noticed that her sizing was not frivolous like that of an ordinary man. Instead, he smiled at her politely, making her lower her head shyly.
Sometimes, it only takes one glance to make your heart flutter, just like Liuyun in the past and Jinhan now.
Just looking at Jin Han's expression, Liu Yun couldn't help but hold the brocade handkerchief in her sleeve tightly. Jin Han was shy by nature, but she had the aloofness and stubbornness of her mother, Xia, in her bones.
I still remember the past life, on the day Jin Han got married, Gu Lixuan came to ask for Jin Han's hand in marriage. The Xia family did not agree with the marriage, thinking that the Gu family was too complicated and Gu Lixuan's palace was too deep, but Jin Han insisted on marrying him.
I had no choice but to agree to my daughter’s marriage.
The biggest reason why Gu Lixuan asked to marry Jin Han was because of the power of the Mu family. After Jin Han passed away, Mr. Mu became the backing of Gu Lixuan's struggle for power. After becoming the head of the Gu family, he married a side wife, that person's natal family.
She is also very famous. She has been in love with Gu Lixuan for a long time and is desperate to marry him.
But what impressed her the most was that Gu Lixuan later fell in love with a brothel girl and favored her, wishing to give her the best. Later, Jin Han and that person had a conflict, and Gu Lixuan unexpectedly
He allowed that man to torment Jin Han so hard that she, the mistress, was no more than a mere figure and was placed under house arrest in the backyard.
Liu Yun couldn't remember much about what happened after that. She only remembered that Xia often cried secretly and that Jin Han never returned to her parents' home. She only sent two letters to report that she was safe. However, with the power of Mu Mansion, she wanted to know where Jin Han was.
How could he not find out the situation of the Gu family, so Liu Yun expected that Jin Han would be wronged in the Gu family.
"Hey, I wonder who is so ambitious here? It turns out to be a great talent from our Gu family." A man who looks somewhat similar to Gu Lixuan waved the folding fan in his hand and swaggered with several people.
The man, who looked like a dandy, walked up together.
