Mr. Yangui

Chapter 17
Kaihuafang, the Guo family.

Guo Yunlei looked at the invitation that the housekeeper had just sent, and smiled slightly, heh, it was this kind of boring invitation again.

Put the invitation on the stone table aside, ignore it, and continue to practice swordsmanship.

The Martial Arts Conference is approaching.

The Guo family has been in business for three generations, from Guo Yunlei's great-grandfather to Guo Yunlei's father, Guo Hongyi. After years of hard work, they have accumulated a huge family business.

Since ancient times, it has been said that "scholars, farmers, businessmen" have low status as merchants. Although Guo's parents, Ancheng, have a lot of face, they are also attached to the powerful families. How can they be compared with Lin, Li, Han, Zhang and other big families.

Guo Hongyi inherited a huge family business when he was less than twenty years old. He has been trembling for decades, fearing that he would offend the powerful and affect the family.

He wanted to change his school style, and pinned his hopes on his son Guo Yunlei. He hoped that Guo Yunlei would shine in the martial arts conference and attract attention.

You must know that Tang Feihu, the current governor of Yangzhou, was the personal guard of the current emperor in his early years. He was sent to Jiujiang as a general in the early years, and now he has become the governor of Yangzhou.

Dayan implements the state and county system. The world is divided into Kyushu, and there are [-] counties under Kyushu.

The governor of the state is a vassal with great power. Not long ago, when Tang Feihu came to Beijing to report on his duties, many officials went to visit him. During the grand court meeting, even Lin Taifu was very polite to him, and he was in the limelight like no other for a while.

Guo Hongyi's eyes became hotter, and he looked forward to his son Guo Yunlei even more.

Under such circumstances, Guo Yunlei seized the time to practice martial arts hard. Although he is one of the "Five Young Masters of Chang'an", his martial arts are strong and have reached the peak of the sixth rank, but recently many young masters have come to Chang'an City, pointing their swords at the Martial Arts Conference , which made him quite stressed.

So he can push for general banquets as soon as he can.

Brush brush!
He swung three swords in a row, with strong sword energy, and split the wooden stake in front of him into several sections.

"it is good."

Someone clapped their hands and applauded.

Father Guo Hongyi and younger sister Guo Yunling came, Guo Yunlei put his sword back into its sheath and greeted them.

Guo Hongyi looked at his son with relief, and said, "It's great that the Yunlei swordsmanship has improved again... That, is it still at the peak of the sixth rank?"

"Yes, father. My son feels a little irritable these days, unable to do what he wants, and I don't know what's going on, but he can't break through." Guo Yunlei was quite annoyed, and he had stayed at the peak of the sixth rank for some time.

"Then go out for a walk to change your mood. I heard that the second son of the Zhang family sent you an invitation card. You can go to the banquet. There is no need to push it away." Guo Hongyi said.

Guo Yunlei frowned, he really didn't want to go.

The princes in Chang'an City can be roughly divided into two categories, the progressive group and the dandy group.

The progressive faction is headed by the "Five Young Masters of Chang'an", most of them are the eldest sons of the family. They have been trained by the family since childhood. Most of them are proficient in civil and martial arts. They shoulder the important responsibilities of the family. Poetry and essays, learning martial arts and other elegant things.

And the dandies are mostly the sons of the family, lacking discipline since childhood, and most of them have no ambitions. The third prince Lu Xuanming is the leader, and there are people like "Han Dasha", "Li Erleng", the scum of the scum, and these Zhang Yanbo, the second son of the Zhang family who issued the invitation for the second time, is Lu Xuanming's number one buddy, and he is not a good guy either.

The invitation on the stone table was sent by Zhang Yanbo, saying that he was making peace with Lu Xuanming, Han Dazhi and Li Wuchang, and asked the young masters to come over and be a witness, chat and drink in Fenghua Building, and enjoy the wind and moon together.

Guo Yunlei had heard about the conflict between Lu Xuanming and Li Wuchang, and he was quite disdainful in his heart.

For such invitations from the dandy faction, he usually directly rejects them, and sends the butler to explain afterwards. He only said that he was unable to go because of mundane affairs, and apologized. This kind of superficial etiquette is still in place.

Now father wants to go to the banquet by himself?Guo Yunlei couldn't understand.

Guo Yunling asked: "Zhang Yanbo wants to ask the third prince, that idiot Li Er, and Han Dasha to make peace for them?"

Guo Yunlei nodded.

"Father is right, brother, you should go to the banquet, practice martial arts every day, don't train your body badly, just take a rest, take me to experience it by the way." Guo Yunling blinked, thinking of Li Wuchang, these few days She always went to Dongshi for a walk every day, but she didn't meet Li Wuchang.

Guo Yunlei looked at his little sister strangely, feeling very surprised.

What my little girl hates the most are those gangsters, and she has taught them a lesson, why did she suddenly want to go to a banquet today, and said to see it, see what?That's going to brothels.

"No, even if I'm going, you can't come with me. Fenghualou is a brothel. You're a girl from every family. What are you going to do?" Guo Yunlei immediately objected.

"Father, look at him...he never takes me to play, what's wrong with the brothel, isn't it just drinking, I just pretend to be a boy like usual." Guo Yunling shook his father's arm, acting coquettishly.

"Uh... It's not impossible. Let's set up a private room and let everyone drink and drink, just like in a restaurant. Anyway, everyone knows each other." Guo Hongyi loves his precious daughter very much, and he is not willing to refute.

Guo Yunlei smiled wryly, feeling quite helpless.

……

The brothers and sisters of the Guo family got into the carriage and drove slowly towards Pingkangfang. Guo Yunlei looked at the excited younger sister beside him, and felt very awkward. What is this called, taking his younger sister to the brothel?
When approaching Fenghua Building.

"Hey, stop for a second." Guo Yunling had been looking out of the small window, and she seemed to see something at this moment.

The carriage stopped, and Guo Yunlei looked outside curiously.

I saw the protagonist of the banquet.

Lu Xuanming, Zhang Yanbo, Li Wuchang, and Han Dazhi were all there, as well as the sons and brothers of other families, all of them were playboys, and they also brought a lot of followers.

"You stinky beggar, you dare to bump into a nobleman, I think you are tired of work." Zhang Yanbo yelled at a beggar disaster victim in front of him.

It turned out that when they walked to the street next to Fenghua Building, as soon as they got off the carriage, they encountered a group of stinky beggars, and one of them dared to come up and ask for money.

The third prince frowned tightly, quite displeased, Zhang Yanbo couldn't bear it any longer.

"Break his legs for me." After Zhang Yanbo cursed, he waved his hands and ordered his subordinates.

Guo Yunling in the carriage was filled with righteous indignation, and was about to go down to stop it, but Guo Yunlei held him back, and the third prince was present, so it was better not to meddle in other people's business, just treat that beggar as unlucky, there are too many disaster victims this year, and there is no shortage of him.

Guo Yunlei made up his mind not to intervene or get involved in this matter, and wanted to wait until they were done before getting out of the carriage.

There was a scream, and the young beggar was trampled on his right leg, his scalp was numb from the pain. There were many people watching the excitement, and Zhang Yanbo stared at him, and immediately dispersed.

Only then did Lu Xuanming nod his head in satisfaction, he lifted his foot and walked towards Fenghua Tower first, and the younger brothers followed.

"Leng Shao, let's go, what are you doing?" Han Dazhi looked at Li Wuchang, seeing his angry face, he didn't know why.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Wuchang was indeed very angry and very helpless. Seeing that Lu Xuanming and the others had already entered Fenghua Building, he smiled lightly: "Silly young man, you go up first, and I will teach this pariah a lesson."

Han Dazhi frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this is also a gesture of favor to His Highness the Third Highness, it's rare to have a chance to reconcile." Then he walked away.

Li Wuchang and the poor beggar were left at the scene.

Of course, there were also the brothers and sisters of the Guo family who were watching all this in the carriage.

Li Wuchang looked at the terrified beggar lying on the ground, sighed silently, feeling quite helpless, in this era, people with no identity and strength are destined to be bullied.

What did this beggar do wrong?

He was just killed by natural disasters, his home was destroyed, and he came to the city to seek a living, but he suffered this bad luck.

"Do you know what mistake you made?" Li Wuchang squatted down and looked at the beggar's ankle. It seemed that it was dislocated. Fortunately, it was healed.

The beggar was very frightened, unable to speak, and bowed his head.

"Ah..." With a scream, cold sweat broke out on the beggar's forehead, and the son in front of him pinched his ankle and twisted it. After a burst of severe pain, he found that his foot didn't hurt anymore.

Are your legs ready?
Li Wuchang took out a piece of broken silver and slipped it into his hand secretly, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Hurry up, if you meet a second-generation ancestor dressed like me in the future, you'd better stay away."

Oh, my heart is soft.

Only then did the beggar realize that the elder brother in front of him was a good man. This elder brother first helped him set his bones and healed his feet, and then gave him a piece of silver.

Who the hell is he? Someone called him Leng Shao just now. What's his name?
The beggar looked at the silver in his hand, stared blankly at Li Wuchang's back, couldn't say a word, stood up and gave Li Wuchang a deep bow, then turned around and left, his legs were quick, and he couldn't see what happened to him just now. Was trampled on.

The Guo brothers and sisters in the carriage watched this scene with different expressions.

Guo Yunlei had a serious face and remained silent.

"It turns out that he is really good at medicine. He can not only perform acupuncture, but also set bones... Huh, he said a few days ago that he just learned a few random tricks, how dare he lie to me." Guo Yunling Nannan said to himself.

"What... What acupuncture?" Guo Yunlei asked.

"Ah, it's nothing... Oh, let's go up too." Guo Yunling concealed it a bit, and stopped talking about this issue. When asked by his brother, it was like a secret about to be discovered.

In my heart, I was even more curious about Li Wuchang.

In Fenghua Building, more than a dozen young masters gathered in the private room. Everyone was very enthusiastic about Guo Yunlei's ability to come, but they were not surprised by Guo Yunlei's ability to come.

Good wine and good food, and Liu Ruxiu, the top girl in Fenghualou, played the piano to add to the fun. Since Guo Yunling was present, it was difficult for everyone to ask more girls to accompany the wine.

As the host of the banquet, Zhang Yanbo is not only Lu Xuanming's number one buddy, but also Li Wuchang's cousin. He invited all the princes to witness and help Lu Xuanming and Han Dazhi and Li Wuchang make peace.

Yes, Zhang's family is Aunt Li Wuchang's natal family, and Zhang Yanbo is Zhang's nephew, Li Wuchang's cheap cousin, the kind who is usually on friendly terms with Li Wuchang, the kind who just meet at home and say hello.

"Ms. Zhang invited everyone to a banquet today. It is a great honor to have His Highness the Third Highness, Young Master Guo, Ms. Guo and all the friends here, and Master Liu to accompany you. Now let's toast the Third Highness first." Zhang Yanbo picked up the wine glass and said. prologue.

Everyone toasted to the third prince.

After drinking, Zhang Yanbo winked at Li Wuchang, and said softly: "Cousin..." Then he pouted in Lu Xuanming's direction, meaning to ask Li Wuchang to apologize.

Grandma is a bear, Li Wuchang sneered, it's really funny, he was beaten half to death, and he had to apologize first.

Under the eaves of others, I have to bow my head.

The banquet was hosted by Zhang Yanbo, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was ordered by the third prince, and the purpose was to make Li Wuchang and Han Dazhi bow their heads and admit their mistakes in front of everyone.

Only in this way can the momentum of the third prince be displayed.
