Gu Yan watched Li Xiaonan's car leave, turned around and saw Zhou Chennian coming out, and asked: "Is the recording done?"
"Yes." Zhou Chennian stepped forward and handed Gu Yan the conversation record between Dong Xi and Li Xiaonan that he had just compiled.
Gu Yan scanned it once, folded it up, called his confidant, and ordered him to hand it to the palace immediately to the prince.
Zhou Chennian looked at Gu Yan and asked, "What are the plans of the prince?"
"Who is the person in charge of the Lu family in the capital?" Gu Yan did not answer Zhou Chennian's words and asked instead.
"This is the second master of the Lu family, Lu Wentai."
"How is this person? Have you ever met him? How is our friendship?" Gu Yan then asked.
"We have met several times. He specially hosted a banquet for me to take over. The friendship is not yet close. This man is flexible, good at dancing, and his reading is average." Zhou Chennian answered cautiously.
"Are you here?" Gu Yan waved his folding fan towards Fuyin Courtyard.
"Coming."
"Shi Songyun deserves the award." Gu Yan smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Yes." Wang Gui agreed and led a few people on horseback to Pang Mansion.
"Is that the trick that the Yunlang Pavilion bachelor used against the Hanlin Academy during the Taizong period?" The prince laughed, "I'm afraid that Miss Li's opponent is Guo Guimei."
"In order to pay more taxes, these silk guilds in the south of the Yangtze River bribed officials and scholars. In those years, they colluded with people like Gu Yan, and their hands to the imperial court became longer and longer." Li Xiao's expression became serious.
"My grandmother has a petty temper. If Gu Yan only picked on your negligence in etiquette, you would take it to heart. But Guimei has to step back and find fault with you two sisters." Li Xiao chuckled. After a few words, "Anan, these sisters are your rivals. Your rivals are Anan. If Anan tries to dissuade you, he will know your temper."
Gui Meisheng looked at Li Xiao.
"Without the paperwork, I can finally concentrate on reading, thanks to the prince." Gu Yanxiao raised his hand and asked Li Xiao.
"Prince Rui's palace has great blessings, and the Pang family also has a rich ancestral legacy and a long lasting legacy. After this small change, the young master has made a greater fortune than you. Congratulations." Li Xiaowei nodded.
It is too difficult to convince this big girl.
"Ah Nan has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth." Li Xiao said with a smile.
"Gu Yan really wants to take Miss Li into his shoes? He made it clear in public that he has no plans?" The prince looked at the first few lines.
"Officials from Jiangnan outside the Eight Ministries are also more wealthy than others." Gu Yanxiao failed to clarify Li Xiao's purpose.
"The worst is over. If Miss Li's enemy is over, and she is willing to worship Gu Yan, he will ask the king to teach Miss Li." The prince thought for a while and said.
Gui Meisheng looked back at Li Xiao, paused, and nodded: "I just heard about it."
Gu Yanxiao leaned against the back of the wheelchair and spoke.
"You heard my father talk about Mr. Dongxi, saying that he was very low-profile in the Jiangnan literary world." Gu Yan smiled and looked at Guimei.
Gu Yan reined in his horse and walked towards Pang Mansion in a leisurely manner.
"Yes." Li Xiao responded with a smile.
Mr. Pang Pang sat in a wooden wheelchair and stood at the door of the front yard. He watched Li Xiao get on his horse and bowed with his hands bowed: "The prince's presence makes the humble house look brighter."
"Shi Guimei has no plans?" Gu Yanxiao was silent for a moment and asked.
"It's a must-have." Li Xiao walked away in small steps.
The prince frowned slightly and hummed.
Prince Rui’s Mansion has a profound ancestral influence, and Jiangnan is a blessed place for Prince Rui’s Mansion. That was what my father would sigh at all times during that period. It is indeed true.
"If it's just about cultivating literary spirit, then it's not that bad." Li Xiao trailed off, looked at Gu Yan and smiled.
"The most difficult thing is to look at the seven characters. Are you going to give it a try?" Li Xiao put away the folding fan.
"The Song Dynasty allowed the law to move." Gu Yan smiled and bowed in greeting.
The prince pointed at the pieces of paper given by Guimei and said with a smile: "That girl has a bad temper."
"Just those few words against him, his character has not retreated even an inch." Li Xiao smiled.
The man who pushed Gu Yanxiao pushed Gui Meisheng back to the lake pavilion and lowered his hands to the bank.
"Let me and Grandma have a discussion face to face." Li Xiao smiled.
In the palace, outside Zishan Hall.
"Shi Songyun praised me. Shisong Yun and I have been together since childhood. They both said that Prince Rui's Mansion is rich in blessings, and it is true." Gu Yan smiled and glanced at Li Xiao.
"That's right." The prince laughed thinking about Gui Meinan's knowing and fearful look.
The prince picked up the pieces of paper again, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "A sharp tooth is second to a sharp mouth. Comparing Mrs. Wang to Mrs. Li, Miss Li's unique opportunity is rare. Does he really think it can be done?" p>
"Okay." Zhou Chennian had some vague understanding in his heart, so he left Gu Yan and went around to find Lu Wentai.
Gu Yanxiao showed surprise.
"Well, you go find him. Dongxi wants to accept Ah Nan as his disciple, and ask him what he thinks and thinks about what happened just now." Gu Yan ordered.
"The scholars from Liangzhe Road in Jianlecheng can get some money from the guild hall every month. They have no Jiangnan customs during the holidays, no money for charcoal in winter, and no money to buy ice in summer. Their life is very bad.
"Li Xiao continued.
"Gu Yan should criticize your sister with harsh words." Guimei said with a smile.
Gu Yan mounted his horse, thought for a moment, and then told Wang Gui: "Go to Pang's Mansion and ask if Mr. Pang is there. I want to visit him."
"Has he heard about the Fuyintang Literary Society?" Guimei looked at the old man pushing the wheelchair and started to walk, shook off the folding fan and followed.
"I heard that the Ministry of Rites is discussing reopening the Diduoqiuyuan (Didu: hermit, Qiuyuan: hometown. It is not about recommending hermits and low-level people) subjects, and they want to recommend Gu Yan to become an official." Li Xiaokuai shook his folding fan quickly.
……………………
"In those years, the scholars who met most frequently outside Jiangle City were the scholars from the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, the scholars from the two Zhejiang Provinces were the most like-minded." Li Xiao looked at the lotus leaves swaying in the wind in the lake.
.
Li Xiao nodded.
"This depends on what Gu Yan said, and A'nan must be convinced. A'nan must be willing to do so." Li Xiao spread his hands.
"Later I saw a few articles written by him, but his diction is good and his knowledge is still young." Li Xiao looked down from Gu Yanxiao's legs.
The prince pondered for a moment and nodded, "Even if he is an enemy, it would be humiliating for Gu Yan to win against a big girl in a quarrel. If Miss Li is really defeated, will he really let you marry Guimei?" p>
"Bad."
"It's quiet outside, let's talk outside." Li Xiao pointed at the pavilion in the lake and said with a smile.
"He is going to use me to take over Miss Li's entrance? How to use it?" The prince's brows widened.
After walking a step or four in silence, Gu Yan smiled and said: "My father asked you to study so hard to cultivate your moral character. You have lost your knowledge while studying, but your character has not retreated even an inch. Please forgive me." p>
"If we deal with people like Guimei, it will be the most difficult thing to destroy my reputation." Li Xiaodao.
"When the time comes, can we ask Prime Minister Wang to act as a countermeasure?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.
