Chapter 19 The Protagonist

Looking back at the Hou Mansion, and then at the streets and alleys not far away, Li Huai deeply realized the gap between the rich and the poor.

The continuous gate towers and arched bridges of Dingxianghou Mansion are exactly the scene of a wealthy family.

This can also be clearly seen outside the courtyard. Looking at the other side, although there are many large courtyards, they are obviously inferior. Each courtyard is not very big, but most of these mansions are occupied by officials in the court.

, can be called a powerful person.

"Xinghuofang, where the Hou Mansion is located, is actually not the busiest place in Chang'an. Because it is far away from the imperial city and close to the city's periphery, many official residences gather here, so it is considered a wealthy place. From this, you can see the gap between the rich and the poor.

,but……"

"What does this have to do with me? This is definitely not my fault, it is the world that makes up for it!"

But then a narration sounded: "When you first wrote about Chang'an, you didn't check the information at all! What a drawback!"

Li Huai said "cut" and walked away without paying much attention.

"Master, where are we going?" Li Wu followed quickly and asked, and Qiao Qi and others followed closely behind.

"Where to go?" Li Huai said without looking back, "Of course it's Yuyu Tower!"

Then, his steps paused.

"...the tea house next to it."

Li Huai realized that he needed to find a place to wait for a while. He could not just go on stage directly. As a supporting role, if he took over the spotlight from the beginning, the situation might be completely chaotic.

"We have to wait for the two main supporting characters to come over first."

——————

The Yuyu Tower in Zhengmingfang is a famous luxury place in Chang'an. Every day there are endless cars and horses, all of which are wealthy people.

As soon as it was daybreak, many wealthy young men and scholars gathered and filled the pavilion on the first floor. They began to recite poetry, talk and drink, and soon there was a charming woman walking among them, and there was a sudden burst of laughter.

Today seems to be like usual again.

"As expected of Chang'an, it is indeed magnificent!"

A young man walked in, with a bookish look on his face, handsome and elegant. Looking at the furnishings and carved decorations in the building, he couldn't help but praise it.

In front of the young man, a middle-aged scribe in dark clothes smiled and said: "This is a place where scholars of humanities and literature gather. I brought you here today to let you meet more great talents."

There was a heroic young man beside the young man. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Yes, I have taken advantage of you, Brother Zheng. Otherwise, with my little salary, I would not dare to come to a place like this once in a month."

"No more words, come with me." The middle-aged scribe walked a few steps inside, greeted several similarly dressed men and bowed his hands, then called the young man over and introduced him one by one.

After seeing the ceremony one after another, the young man sat in a booth, listened to everyone's words, and saw the prosperity of the room, he couldn't help but praise again.

The heroic young man beside him said: "What will amaze you is yet to come. You are the one who surprises us on weekdays. I will surprise you today so that we can feel comfortable."

"I look forward to it." The young scholar smiled slightly.

The table immediately broke into lively conversation, and it didn't take long for everyone at the table to praise the young scholar.

Da da da!

But not long after, amidst the stamping of heavy boots, a dozen men in fine clothes filed in, all dressed as servants, and lined up on both sides of the street.

These men were full of muscles and strong in blood. Wherever they stood, the evil spirit of blood and courage spread, stirring up the joyful atmosphere in the pavilion. Many people put down their wine glasses and frowned.

"Who is so majestic and has such a battle?" The young scholar was talking eloquently. He stopped talking and whispered to the young man next to him, "Is this what Brother Luo said that surprised me?"

"Of course not." The young man next to him shook his head.

A middle-aged scribe who led the two people in said: "Just looking at the sect and the body and bones of this guard, you can tell that he is definitely not an ordinary person. If you think about it, if you can do this in Zhengmingfang, I'm afraid that little

My father-in-law is here. He is a handsome man and his actions are legendary. If his story is recorded, he will be the protagonist in the novels of future generations."

The young scholar's face changed and he asked, "Could he be the legitimate son of Duke Rong who had just made great achievements in northern Xinjiang?" His voice unconsciously became a little lower.

"Can there be others?" The middle-aged scribe chuckled, "Most of the people in Chang'an City who dare to act like this are noble children, and those who can summon such warriors can be counted on one hand. Rongguo

The Duke's Mansion is located in Zhengmingfang. The young Duke entered the city not long ago. He must have returned from the palace and met the Duke again. According to past customs, he wanted to have some friends. This is not the first time.

Once.”

Someone at the same table whispered again: "I heard that this little prince will have to save his country in the near future!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged scribe reminded: "Xingye, you have to remember that person's face later. You have always been lucky. You may have the opportunity to get close to him in the future. It will be good for your future."

As soon as the words fell, three people walked in from the door.

The young scholar looked over and saw the leader with a resolute face and sharp edges. He was dressed in military uniform and looked very heroic. He was wearing a bright red robe and walked in at the lead.

As soon as he came in, women all over the room couldn't help but exclaim with surprise.

"Is this Mr. Rong Guo?" he murmured.

"It is this man," the middle-aged scribe said in a low voice. "He is of noble birth and has good martial arts skills. Although he is a bit domineering, he has real abilities. During his trip to the northern border, he killed tens of thousands of Hulu. It was really bloody.

It flows like a river!”

"You have an extraordinary bearing!" the scholar praised, with a hint of yearning.

"Don't be self-effacing," the scribe laughed. "Three years ago, you turned back as a prodigal son and rose to prominence as a concubine. You came first in the imperial examinations. If you are also ranked among the top three in this examination, you will definitely be the story of a talented and beautiful woman in the future.

He’s also a protagonist!”

"Uncle Thirteen is ridiculous. I just got lucky for a while. I came to Beijing this time just to hope that everything goes well, and then..." As he said that, he lowered his head slightly.

"Are you consummated your engagement with the Liu family girl again?" the middle-aged scribe joked with a smile, "I'm afraid the ladies who came with you will have something to say."

The young scholar suddenly blushed, so he quickly changed the subject, pointed at the two people behind the young master and said, "Who are those behind? They look unusual."

He wasn't just talking nonsense, the two people who came with him were equally extraordinary.

Especially the second person, who is dressed in Confucian clothes, has a fair face, elegant demeanor, and a smile, which makes people feel like spring breeze at first sight.

"The second place is a great talent from Chang'an, named Zhang Kun, who is a member of the Chenliu Zhang family..."

"Chen Liu Zhang family?" The young man was surprised, "That is a big family with heirloom knowledge! Many high-ranking officials in the court are from the Zhang family, or their disciples. Since Zhang Kun comes from a rich family, no wonder there are

Such magnanimity!”

The young man next to him grinned and said: "This man's experience is also legendary. In my opinion, he is no weaker than that little prince, and he can also be the master of commentary!"
