"Please, Mr. Gao." An Shaohua walked in with Gao Xinli, and said in a low voice, "Many people came to the Li family, but I didn't recognize them all. But there was one last night..." An Shaohua exchanged glances with Gao Xinli, and Gao Xinli nodded. nod.

"Help me find it." An Shaohua whispered.

"Master An, please." Gao Xinli nodded as if giving way. "What kind of person?"

An Shaohua described to Gao Xinli the appearance of the Li family boy who stood with folded arms and looked at Lu Zhongyuan coldly when everyone was making a fuss last night.

Gao Xinli thought for a while, and said, "I've heard about the son you mentioned, but he probably isn't from the Queen Mother's Li family. people."

"Liu Guang?" Since he is a relative in the family, if he doesn't recognize him, maybe Gu Cheng does.

After listening to An Shaohua's words, Gu Li couldn't remember having such a number one relative in his family.It was only after Gao Xinli made a point that he remembered: "The person you mentioned should be my fifth aunt's family."

"Why did he walk with the Li family?"

"The fifth aunt's surname is Li, but she is not from the Li family. Even if it is a pretentious attachment, it may not really be able to climb up to the Li family in Yonganjing." Gu Cheng thought for a while and said.

Grandma Gu Wu was born in a side branch of the Li family in Longxi, and the family of the Empress Dowager Li in Yong'an Jing belonged to the Li family of Zhaojun.Although it has been traced upwards, it is true that the ancestors used to be a family, but that was too long ago.It is generally said that the two Li families were also spoken separately, but Gu Li didn't care about these, so he didn't know.Gao Xinli showed a hesitant expression, but Gu Li didn't see it.An Shaohua glared at him, Gao Xinli swallowed his words.

"What happened to that man?"

An Shaohua then said that when everyone made fun of Lu Zhongyuan's character Huanlang last night, the boy surnamed Li just watched with folded arms, neither participating in the teasing nor going back to his room to rest.He just looked at Lu Zhongyuan's situation description coldly for everyone to listen to.

Halfway through, Mao Zhou also came over.Hearing the words, he said that it is better to come and ask.

Not long after, the Li family boy was invited over by several guards.

I saw that the man was wearing a long gown, without any accessories, and came very neatly.After entering the room, he greeted the magistrate and everyone in the Ministry of Punishment first, then said a few words on the occasion, expressed his respect to Lu Quan, and finally let the Lu family mourn.The words are sincere and the tone is sad, and there is no major fault in the actions.If he didn't know that his family had been defeated, and the whole family came to Yonganjing to join his aunt's house, just looking at how this person treats others, he would think that he was a son of a wealthy family in Yonganjing with strict rules.

"Li Cun has met General Xianwu." Perhaps because he noticed that An Shaohua and his wife were indifferent to him, Li Cun did not rush forward to marry him.After saying this, Gu Li felt a little embarrassed.

"You are Aunt Wu's natal nephew, logically I should call you cousin."

"If you can't do it, you can't be a cousin. If you don't give up, you can call me Li Cun."

"Cousin Li Cun," An Shaohua took over the conversation, "I want to ask you, have you seen or heard anything about the Lu family?"

"To be honest, this is the first time in Li's life that he has seen such a matter of life and death." After speaking, he comforted Lu Zhongyuan again.Lu Zhongyuan returned the gift, but Li Cun looked at the crowd but hesitated to speak.

Seeing his expression, An Shaohua knew that something must be wrong with him. "Cousin can just say it straight, human life is at stake, and there is no secret greater than the grievance of the deceased."

Li Cun looked at Lu Zhongyuan, and saw Lu Zhongyuan confused. "Please Mr. Li, but it's okay to say."

"It's not a big deal." Seeing that everyone asked Li Cun to say it, he no longer concealed it.

It turned out that he was ordered by the elders in his family to come here to congratulate Lu Zhongyuan, and of course he wanted to make friends with the new rich.It's just that after coming here, I found that there was an unexpected person among the maids of the Lu family.

"Who?" Lu Zhongyuan's voice suddenly rose when he heard that there was an unexpected person at home.

Li Cun didn't show off, he just pointed with his finger.Everyone looked at the past, and Chu Jiu looked at Li Cun with a look of surprise, resentment, grievance, and embarrassment.Li Cun didn't feel sorry for her, and said in a very straightforward tone, "This girl, I am in Yong'an Jingchun..."

"Please stop talking, my lord!" Chu Jiu rushed forward all of a sudden, trying to hug Li Cun's feet.

Li Cun quickly stood up and hid to the side, "Girl respect yourself!"

"Chun what?" Lu Zhongyuan heard something wrong, pushed Chu Jiu away, and grabbed Li Cun to ask.

When Chu Jiu was crying, he was pushed to the ground and could only cry on the ground.Lu Xiamiao came forward to help Chu Jiu up.An Shaohua frowned and looked at the two of them thoughtfully.

"Chunyilou, this is the celebrity of Chunyilou, Liu Xiaoxiao."

Speaking of Chunyi Building, there are not many people in Yonganjing who don't know it.If Hongyu Pavilion ranks first in Chu Pavilion, then Chunyi Pavilion is the leader in brothels.Different from the shyness of the Chu Pavilion, which only looks half hidden inside the blue brick wall, the Hongyu Pavilion occupies an entire street by itself, and there are girls in thin clothes looking out of the window on both sides.Those princes and grandchildren in Yonganjing love to linger here when they have time, and it is really the rich who support the money market and the poor who do not have the money to support the individual.Even if you are a poor scholar, you can walk back and forth on this street a few times, just to listen to the girl's teasing, and if you are lucky, you can match two poems and touch your hands.

And that Liu Xiaoxiao was even more popular a year or two earlier.

It is rumored that Liu Xiaoxiao is naturally charming, with beautiful people, beautiful songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.For a period of time, there was really no one in the limelight, but it was a pity that many princes and grandsons lost their wealth and could not spend a good night with the beautiful woman.why?Liu Xiaoxiao is one of the few elegant prostitutes in Chunyi Building.The so-called elegant prostitutes are those who perform art but do not sell themselves.Whether to pick up or not, to accompany or not to accompany, to stay or not all depends on the girl's mood.If the girl likes it, she can become the guest of honor even if she doesn't receive a penny.If the girl doesn't like her, even if the heavenly king Laozi comes, you can't see her face, let alone even think about kissing her.

"You..." Lu Zhongyuan had also heard of Liu Xiaoxiao's name, first he turned his head and pointed at Chu Jiu, but found that he had nothing to say.Even if Chu Jiu is Liu Xiaoxiao, it is still a maid bought by his father.Real gold and silver are spent, and big living people buy them back. There is no credit due to payment of money and goods, and there is nothing to criticize.

"You..." Lu Zhongyuan pointed at Li Cun again, but couldn't say anything either.There is a saying that there is nothing wrong with telling people that since father bought a prostitute, he bought it.Whether it's a big deal or something else, it's already bought.

"Does father know?" Jolie asked in a low voice.

"I guess I know it." Li Cun said.After speaking, he frowned again, as if he had thought of something bad: "In this way, Master Lu's attitude is really weird. I didn't see Miss Xiaoxiao at Lu's house before yesterday. When I saw her at the wedding banquet, I didn't recognize her at first. Come out. Later, I heard Miss Xiaoxiao talking, so I was sure. I told Master Lu about it, but Master Lu actually took me aside, gave me the bank note, and asked me to keep silent."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, what does Master Lu mean by this?

"Of course I didn't ask for the money. But I also promised Master Lu not to tell others about it." After speaking, he glanced at Chu Jiu, "I'm sorry, Miss Xiaoxiao, I didn't intend to expose your scars, but..."

Lu Xiamiao helped Chu Jiu to sit down.Chu Jiu sobbed and said, "I don't blame the young master, it's Chu Jiu who has a low life, it's hard... and..."

"Cousin, when you talked to Master Lu, did anyone hear you?"

Li Cun thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "Master Lu led me to a secluded place, where no one should have seen me. But..." Li Cun glanced at Lu Zhongyuan, and then at Chu Jiu, "When we were welcoming my relatives yesterday morning, I saw that Master Lu was wearing a purple gold crown. But at night, I saw Qi Ran wearing an identical crown. But Master Lu was wearing a gold inlaid jade crown."

Purple gold crown, another purple gold crown.An Shaohua thought to himself, Gu Yu saw that in the morning——An Shaohua's heart shuddered, and when Gu Ling saw Qi Ran in the morning, he asked himself if Qi Ran was wearing a purple gold crown, and now Li Cun talked about Qi Ran It seems that it is not a coincidence with Zijinguan.

"Yesterday, when I came back from welcoming my relatives, my father did wear a purple gold crown when he visited the hall. The purple gold crown is worth tens of gold, and my father loves it very much. But at the banquet last night, I saw my father wearing a golden jade crown. A jade crown. Although it is not ordinary, it is still not as good as that purple gold crown."

An Shaohua looked back at Mao Zhou, and Mao Zhou immediately sent someone to find Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran came over, still wearing the purple gold crown.Not only that, he bowed his hands before entering the door, and performed peer salute with Mao Zhou, An Shaohua and others.After entering the door, he tried his best to greet and kiss, his mouth was so broken that it was annoying.

An Shaohua was impatient to argue with him, and asked him the origin of the purple gold crown straight to the point.

"To be honest, this is a gift from the master of the Lu family to Qiao." Qiao Ran admitted it straightforwardly.It's a pity that after that, no matter what people asked, he insisted that it was the master of the Lu family who thought Qiao Ranyushu Linfeng was too suitable for this purple gold crown, and he insisted on giving it to him regardless of his various excuses.

Knowing that he opened his eyes and told nonsense, people can't stand him.An Shaohua decided to take a risky move, and asked him straightforwardly: "But I heard that Master Lu gave you the purple gold crown to keep you from talking about Miss Liu Xiaoxiao."

Sure enough, when Qiao Ran heard the word Liu Xiaoxiao, his eyes immediately turned to Chu Jiu.It seems that Li Cun is not lying.It's just that Qiao Ran obviously knew something, but he refused to say it.

"Ninth day," An Shaohua asked, "Why do you think Lu Quan would be willing to be blackmailed in order to conceal your past?"

"Maybe..." Chu Jiu took out a seal from her bosom, "It's because the surname the master is going to marry is me."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.An Shaohua frowned even tighter.

Lu Zhongyuan took the square seal, looked at it carefully, and turned pale with shock: "Weiqing! This seal is the seal of the head of the Lu family. To put it bluntly, with this square seal, Lu family's business and wealth are all outside by her! "
