After seeing off Li Er, it was already noon. Xia Yu felt a little hungry and was just about to ask Yinping for lunch when the housekeeper Xia Hong came in a hurry.
"My lord, Prince Yong is here to visit."
Lee Do Hyun?
Xia Yu was stunned: The Eastern Expedition has just ended. After more than half a year of hard work, this guy is not at home to rest and wait for the New Year. Why is he wandering around?
However, the two of them are both teachers and friends, and their friendship is irreversible and never goes away.
Xia Yu immediately said: "Please come quickly. Also, tell the cook to prepare lunch for the prince."
"Yes, sir."
Xia Hong hurried away, and after a while, Li Daoxuan, who was swaggering and proud, walked in.
"Military advisor, I'm here to see you."
Li Daoxuan's loud military voice made Xia Yu's eardrums roar, as if there was a thunder on the ground.
"My dear prince, could you speak softer?" Xia Yu rolled her eyes and signaled Xia Hong to get ready quickly.
"Your Highness, please take a seat." Su Dingfang, who had just turned around after seeing off Li Er, hurriedly greeted him.
"Thank you, Xiao Su." Li Daoxuan was not polite, patted Su Dingfang's shoulder carelessly, and sat down next to Xia Yu.
Su Dingfang's face twitched, but he felt helpless.
Although he and Li Daoxuan are about the same age, he is a disciple of Xia Yu, while Li Daoxuan is on equal terms with Xia Yu, so he is naturally a generation younger.
"By the way, the prince is not at home to rest, so why did he come to me?"
"Hehe!" Li Daoxuan smiled and winked: "Commander, I'm in Chang'an this time. How about I treat you to a drink of wine?"
"Ah!?" Xia Yu was stunned, thinking she heard wrongly.
"Ah, what! Military advisor, as the saying goes: After three years in the army, a sow competes with Diaochan. Now that you are back in Chang'an, why don't you have some fun?"
"Let's go, I'm here to treat you, be quick."
Without saying a word, Li Daoxuan took Xia Yu and started to leave.
"Wait a minute." When Xia Yu heard this, he was a little panicked. He had never been to a brothel. He was a standard young man. He couldn't help but said hurriedly: "Well, do I and other court officials go in and out of such romantic places?
Something is wrong?"
"Isn't it appropriate?" Li Daoxuan said with a puzzled look on his face: "Military advisor, this is an elegant matter and the court does not prohibit it. What's wrong with it?"
Only then did Xia Yu remember that the people of the Tang Dynasty were open and open, and both literati and talented people, as well as officials and merchants, regarded gatherings in brothels and Chu houses as an elegant event, and the court did not prohibit them.
Obviously, Li Daoxuan must be a frequent visitor here.
"This is still inappropriate." Xia Yu felt a little homesick and refused to take a step forward: "I'm about to get married, so don't let others gossip."
"What's the point? Don't say we're not married, even if we're married, our eldest man is visiting a brothel, and the ladies at home dare to gossip?"
Li Daoxuan's domineering face revealed his true character as an old pervert.
"Wait a minute." Xia Yu suddenly felt a little suspicious, looked Li Daoxuan up and down and said, "You must be cheating if you are so impatient. Even if you visit a brothel, you don't go there in the middle of the day. It's basically in the evening. Don't you
Make it clear, I don't dare to let you go."
Li Daoxuan suddenly looked embarrassed. He never expected that Xia Yu was so smart that even with his little tricks, he couldn't hide it from the other party.
Sure enough, it was a scam! Xia Yu immediately knew that she had guessed correctly.
There was no other way, so Li Daoxuan could only smile dryly and said truthfully: "That's it. Miss Su from Cuihonglou asked Tuogu to meet the military advisor."
"Meet me?" Xia Yu said inexplicably: "I have never met this girl Su. What does she want to see me for?"
"God!" Li Daoxuan said with a speechless face: "Military advisor, your poems are outstanding and your name is famous all over the world. Which famous prostitute has not admired you for a long time?"
"As far as I know, in addition to Su Xiaoxiao, there are also Miss Aman, Pei Xingnu, Xue Xiaoyu, etc. Almost all the famous prostitutes in Chang'an are looking for connections and hope to meet you."
"As long as you can write a poem for them, they will become famous all over the world and become more beautiful than anyone else."
"..."
Su Dingfang was stunned. He didn't expect that his teacher was so popular. He was envious for a while and couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Xia Yu was stunned. Now he had become an idol star. For a moment, he felt a little proud in his heart.
However, although some men know how to feel itchy, literati have always had a common problem: false reserve!
"Well, that's not good. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my family is very busy." Xia Yu refused a little falsely, and her tone was very unfirm.
"Pull him down." Li Daoxuan saw through someone's disguise at a glance, and curled his lips and said: "If you want to be busy, it's your turn. Don't refuse anymore. Let's go! Let's go!" He grabbed Xia Yu and dragged him out of the door.
.
"Okay, okay, why don't I leave?" Xia Yu seemed helpless: "Dingfang, you go with my master."
Well, bring a strong general to strengthen your courage!
"Disciple is going too?" Su Dingfang was stunned. It seemed inconvenient for the master and disciple to go drink wine together.
"Then let's go together, it just so happens that there are more people and it's fun." Li Daoxuan felt it didn't matter.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, they saw Ling Jing leading his consort Chai Shao to greet him with a smile: "Military advisor, Chai Shao is here to visit. He is not an outsider, so I brought him in directly."
On the way back, Chai Shaoke often chatted and drank with Xia Yu, and Ling Jing knew that they were very familiar with each other.
Hey, it’s so crowded! Xia Yu is a little ignorant.
Then he saw Chai Shao greeting him with a smile: "Military advisor, you have nothing to do, how about we go drink wine together? Hey, Brother Daoxuan is also here, so let's come together."
Xia Yu, Su Dingfang, and Li Daoxuan all said at the same time: "..."
Chai Shao couldn't help but be startled when he saw the weird expressions of the three of them: "Uh, what's wrong with you?"
Li Daoxuan said with an annoyed look on his face: "Come on, brother-in-law, who did you ask for help? I'm not afraid that the second sister will find out about you."
"Haha, man, socializing is unavoidable, it's okay, it's okay." Chai Shao laughed and suddenly was stunned: "What? Why, my dear brother is also invited by others."
Li Daoxuan nodded speechlessly.
Chai Shao collapsed a little. He thought it was early enough to come to the door, but he didn't expect someone to come earlier than him. He said helplessly: "Who are you asking for?"
"Little Miss Su from Cuihonglou. Brother-in-law, what about you?"
"Well, thanks to Miss Aman from Jinfenglou."
"Puch!" Ling Jing understood and was happy: "It seems that military advisors are really popular! However, it is not surprising that talented people and beautiful women have been around since ancient times."
"It's just that there is only one military advisor, but you have two. What should we do?"
Li Dao
"That won't work. I also promised Miss Ah Ma. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I broke the promise?" Chai Shao shook his head like a rattle and refused to give in.
Obviously, one of these two people admired Su Xiaoxiao and the other admired Xie Aman, and they were unwilling to break their trust in front of the beautiful woman.
"Brother-in-law, there must be a first-come, first-served basis." Li Daoxuan was anxious.
"Then there's a difference between age and age." Chai Shao immediately took advantage of his age.
Seeing that the two of them were cross-eyed and about to quarrel, Xia Yu felt a headache and hurriedly advised: "Don't quarrel, please let me think about this."
Li Daoxuan and Chai Shao had no choice but to give up and wait eagerly for Xia Yu to make a decision.
Before Xia Yu's clever little mind could come up with an idea, Xia Hong left and returned, followed by a fat man with a big belly.
It turned out to be Changsun Wuji!
"My lord, the eldest grandson is here to visit."
Xia Hong looked helpless. He wanted to report it first, but he didn't want Changsun Wuji to ignore him as an outsider and march in without hesitation.
Xia Yu waved her hand, indicating that it was okay.
After getting along with him for a long time, he also knew that Changsun Wuji was such a lazy person, a rogue among literati, who didn't stick to trivial matters.
Moreover, Changsun Wuji felt that everyone was a die-hard member of the Qin royal family, and they would not be friends with Xia Yu.
"Well, why are everyone here?" Changsun Wuji was just about to say hello to Xia Yu when he saw Li Daoxuan and Chai Shao and was startled.
"Stop talking." Li Daoxuan said with an annoyed look on his face: "Let me guess, but are you here to invite the military advisor to drink wine?"
"Who asked you to do this?" Chai Shao immediately added.
Changsun Wuji's fat face had the word "stunned" written all over it, and he said in astonishment: "You two are crazy. You all know this? It's the person who was entrusted by Mr. Xue from Tingfeng Tower."
Ling Jing almost laughed out loud and slapped his forehead speechlessly: This is so lively!
Su Dingfang's face turned red from holding back the pain, and he looked at his teacher sympathetically.
Changsun Wuji was also a very smart man. He immediately woke up and said with shame: "You are here to invite people too? What should I do?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu had a look of collapse on her face. It would be bad for anyone to agree to this. She smiled bitterly and said, "This is the only way for now."
"Either I don't go anywhere, or I just hold a poetry party in my house and invite three girls to come over."
"Choose for yourself!"
Xia Yu spread his hands and felt very lonely. Anyway, he was alone and couldn't break him open.
Li Daoxuan and the three of them looked at each other in shock.
For now, it seems that the only way is to let the three girls come to the door. Although the promise is discounted, it is better than breaking one's promise.
At that moment, Li Daoxuan said angrily: "Then let's hold a poetry party, and then I'll have someone notify the little girl."
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji had no choice but to arrange for people to communicate.
"Okay, Lao Hong, let's arrange for someone to prepare for the poetry meeting." Seeing that the three of them had reached an agreement, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly arranged for Xia Hong to prepare.
"Yes, sir. But where is the poetry meeting?" People in the Tang Dynasty loved poetry, and poetry meetings were often held, and Xia Honglu was very familiar with it.
Xia Yu looked up and suddenly saw snowflakes floating in the sky again. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's put it in this courtyard. Clean up the pavilion and see the snowy plum blossoms in the cold. Wouldn't it be indecent?"
"What a great idea!" Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up and he praised: "And prepare good wine and delicious food."
"I can't do without you." Xia Yu looked annoyed. This guy really didn't regard himself as an outsider. He turned to Ling Jing and said, "Mr. Ling, please join us later. It's going to be lively."
"You're welcome then." Ling Jing is also an elegant person. How could he miss such a grand event?
