To the north of Wuling River in Wu County is the location of the Gu family, and is also called Beiguli by Yangzhou people. The Wuling Bridge is built on the stream water. It is a pure granite bridge body, which is extremely strong. After crossing the bridge, dozens of courtyards with Jiangnan characteristics formed the foundation and fortune of the Gu family's main vein for more than a hundred years. It is a village and town with branches and leaves that are scattered and reproduced. It is divided into Dongguli and Xiguli. More than a thousand people are considered to be prosperous.

From a distance, the Gu family house is like a tiger with wings, lying on the bank of the stream. Even those who do not understand Feng Shui can feel the essence of heaven and earth hidden inside. When they walk closer, there are pavilions and pavilions and carved elixirs. Although they are not extravagant, they are deeply rooted in the background. Xu You walked along the way and saw countless guests coming to present to Gu Yun, bustling and lively. When he entered the rich door, hundreds of boys in red clothes served the left and right, almost the same age and height, they looked the same pretty, with a smile on their faces, were generous in their actions, and were eloquent in their mouths, and they brought different guests to different places to rest and wait in an orderly manner.

This is the unique style of aristocratic families. It often makes people feel the prosperity and power of the family inadvertent details.

"Wow, what a grand house, it's much bigger than our Mingyu Mountain."

After Fang Sinian entered the ninth grade, he had been like a cheat in the past two years, and his cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds. Now he is a master of the seventh grade. Not only that, his body has gradually grown, his legs are slender and straight, and his skin may have been influenced by the Bodhi Kung Fu. He gradually became white and transparent from darkness. The radiance of jade radiates under the sunlight, which can be called graceful and elegant, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. But his temperament is still simple and natural, and he always maintains that little heart is immortal and has not been defiled by the world.

Hexi Chounu took Xu You's hand and curled his lips, "Sister is wrong. Even the emperor's palace is not as good as Mingyu Mountain!" She was wearing a royal blue pleated skirt, her eyes were as green as a tall nose, and her exotic appearance was completely dressed as a girl from the Southern Dynasty. The contrast was cute and her big eyes were flashing. She was so cute.

Dong Xie pinched her face and said, "You can't say this nonsense. Be careful to be heard and cause trouble for Xiaolang. Beiguli is Gu's main house, of course it is not too luxurious, but it is also a large house in Yangzhou. However, if you say that it is comparable to Mingyu Mountain, it may not be..."

Xu You looked at the crowd in front of him and smiled, "The Winter Solstice is right. You went up the mountain late and you have never seen the scenery of Guo Mian in Shiming Yu Mountain. If it weren't for the ban on the court later, the valuable items would have been plundered and many houses were abandoned and dilapidated. The momentum of countless money piled up is not comparable to that of Gu Zhai."

"Hmph, that's not good either!" Hexi Chounu insisted: "Anyway, where there is a Xiaolang, it's the best!"

Fang Sinian smiled and said, "The ugly slave is sweet-mouthed, no wonder Xiaolang likes you the most. I am not pleased with a stupid girl like me..."

Now the ugly slave was embarrassed and hurriedly hugged Fang Sinian and said, "Good sister, how can you do that? Xiaolang obviously treats us the same way."

While laughing, a man hurried out from the main hall, headed straight to Xu You, and bowed, "Weizhi, you have been waiting for you. Brother Seven has repeatedly told me to treat you well before taking the bride. I asked me to treat you well. Just as I had something to do, you came here..."

This person is Gu Xi, whose courtesy name is Shuangyu, and he is Gu Yun's cousin. He is famous for his talent. When Qiantang Lake was playing poetry in a beautiful group, he was also one of the ten people who ended up in the end. He was considered an old acquaintance with Xu You.

"Brother Shuangyu!"

When both sides saw the ceremony, Gu Xi took him to the lobby. Behind them, a few young scholars were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked flying. One of them recognized Gu Xi and became curious about Xu You's identity. There were too many guests today, most of them were led by boys, and only those with valuable identities were personally received by Gu's children.

"Who is this person? I asked Gu Shuangyu to greet him in person?"

"Look at Feng Shen, he must be from a prominent family, but I don't know which families in the capital..."

"Are you from other places? This is Weizhi's husband, known as Youye Yiguang. He has ten talents in the world, nine out of nine are in his belly, and his natural temperament is different from ordinary people!" The person who spoke was a local scholar in Yangzhou. When he mentioned Xu You, his face full of pride could not be covered.

"Ah? It turns out that he is Xu You!"

"Jiu Doucai?" Someone said disdainfully: "Hmph, I went through Yixing a few years ago. I heard that Xu You was a vulgar and unspoken person. He loved to make friends with roosters and dog thieves. He went around with rampant people and showed off his courage and ruthlessness. Unexpectedly, he was exiled to Yangzhou and became such a famous person."

"From this, we can see that everyone in the world thinks that Jiangzuo is the Wenhua Scenic Spot of Maoyuan, my Great Chu, but it is just a false reputation!"

"That is, compared to Jinling, Wujun or Kuaiji, they are just rural areas, so where can moral articles be produced!"

It immediately caused a burst of angrily scolding, and the scholar said angrily: "If the articles in the world come from Yangzhou, if Jinling had not occupied the glory of the imperial capital, would he be worthy of talking about moral articles if you were ignorant?"

Seeing that the dispute was about to arise, a young man who looked like a manager came over, folded his hands and bowed, smiled, and said, "My husbands, today is the joy of my husband's wedding. The nobles came from afar, and the whole house was grateful. The hall had already prepared fine wine and delicacies. Please go to the table early."

Everyone woke up. If they really started to make trouble, they would offend Gu. They snorted coldly and walked into the house separately. Two groups of people were like two rivers, moving in parallel, without merging.

This is the gentry. Although they are in the same class, they are not a monolithic part. The difference between high and low, the difference between regions, the difference between closeness and political views is as if a huge gap begins to differentiate from the inside and will sooner or later be eliminated by history!

After passing two courtyards, Gu Xi pointed to the main hall in front and said, "This is the place to hold the wedding later. When the bride arrives, I will invite Weizhi to come and watch the ceremony."

"good!"

Xu Youke followed Gu Xi to the fifth house on the left side of the main hall, where there were eighteen carved animal-patterned mahogany food cases. After each table, there were two beautiful maids standing, which were elegant and joyful. There were dozens of houses like this, which were enough to arrange guests to attend the wedding today. However, the closer they were to both sides of the main hall, the more they represented status and dignity. If Xu You had not had too close relationship with Gu Yun, in his current identity, he would not have been qualified to come to this house. In addition, there were also open-air food cases in the yard behind, which were dense for nearly thousands of followers to rest and eat and drink.

Xu You entered the table, and Gu Xi sat aside to accompany him. Qingming politely rejected Gu Xi's invitation and insisted on standing behind Xu You. In the Winter Solstice, Fang Sinian and He Xi Chou Nu were arranged to another house to sit with the female guests. Although Xu You did not mind the same seat as men and women, nor did he mind the noble and humbleness, but this is the Gu family's place. There are other gentry in the room. It is better to have less things than more. He advised the Winter Solstice that she was smart and smart and should be able to take good care of Fang Sinian and Chou Nu.

There were already thirteen or fourteen people sitting in the room, all of whom were young. I believe Gu had also considered it when arranging the seats, trying to arrange the old, old, and family-friendly ones together to avoid embarrassment and disputes. Gu Xixian introduced Xu You first. Among the eight people, two of them knew Xu You, one was Zhang Tong from Zhang, and the other was Zhu Cong from Zhu.

Zhu Cong and Xu You had old grudges, so they knelt on the cushion and bowed lukewarmly. Zhang Tong was also abnormal and stood up and bowed politely, but did not speak much, which was inconsistent with his usual offensive temperament.

"This is Zhang Yu, Zhang Tong's eldest brother."

Xu You looked over, Zhang Tong curled his lips and suddenly blinked. It turned out that this kid had learned a lot because of his brother.

"Langjun Zhang!"

Xu You gave a gift, Zhang Yu stood up and replied, "Langjun Xu!" He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his expression was firm. He looked like he was serious. No wonder Zhang Tong was afraid of him.

"This is Yang Gu, the son of the prefect of Xin'an Yang..."

The prefect of Xin'an, Yang Feng, has the original works of "Recommendation of Ji Zhibing" and "He Jiebing". Gu Yun recently exchanged "Recommendation of Ji Zhibing" from Yang Feng with "Recommendation of Ji Zhibing" as a reason to give Li Xianji a smile to Xu You, but later Li Xianji suddenly poisoned and assassinated, the matter was temporarily put aside.

"This is Zheng Langjun, Yidu County..."

"This is Huo Langjun, Yuzhang County..."

"This...uh, this gentleman, I look at him, dare you ask for advice?"

When introducing the last person, Gu Xi suddenly felt strange that the people in this house were arranged by him on the list, so how could anyone not know?

The man looked like a jade-like face, slender figure, and could not sit upright, but exuded a proud aura, and smiled faintly: "My surname is Xiao, and I came from Lanling."

Lanling Xiao family?

Although the Xiao family in Lanling was one of the four top clans in Chu, after Xiao Xunqi took control of the Sili Mansion, he inspected all officials and killed too much. Other clans of the surnames had more respect than respect for the Xiao family. In addition, in order to avoid suspicion, they had very little contact with each other in recent years. Gu Xi's face changed slightly, and he never expected that Xiao would send someone to attend Gu Yun's wedding. He heard that the son of the Secretariat Ling Liu Ning had a grand wedding that year, but Xiao just gave a gift, but no one was present.

How can Gu’s face be compared to Liu’s?

The uneasiness in his heart made Gu Xi feel uncomfortable. Judging from the person's posture, he should be an important figure in the Xiao family. With such a big fanfare, it is unknown whether he chooses to visit the door today or there may be a big disaster.

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Xi was about to say goodbye. At this moment, Qingming leaned over to Xu You's ear and said a few words. A sharp light flashed in Xu You's eyes. He reached out to stop Gu Xi and asked Xiao Langjun: "It is said that the Xiao family in Lanling has five dragons. Look at the magic posture under his feet, I wonder which of the five dragons is it?"

The man narrowed his eyes slightly when he smiled, as if the bright moon was in the sky, and the color was as beautiful as a woman. But when he looked at Xu You, his eyes were like sharp blades, revealing some power.

"Xiao Ling is not one of the five dragons, but is a child of Xiao's inexpensive family. Compared with Xu Langjun's reputation, the candlelight is nothing different from the moonlight, so what's the point?"
