After the two had breakfast, the housekeeper sent an invitation to Xiao Chengzhou, saying: "It's from the eldest son of the Li family."

Xiao Chengzhou took it over to take a look, and said to Xie Yan who came over curiously: "Li Wenhua, the eldest son of the Li family, invited me to talk about things in Qingfeng Tower today."

"Ah? That's it." Xie Yan sighed in disappointment. It seems that today his plan to deepen brotherhood with Xiao Chengzhou will be suspended temporarily.

Xiao Chengzhou put down the invitation card, curled his lips and said, "It's not a big deal, if you are idle and bored, you can go with me."

Xie Yan revived instantly, his eyes brightened, "Is that okay? I can go too, and I won't disturb you?"

"Of course not." Xiao Chengzhou smiled.

"Then, then I have to go." Xie Yan slid to Xiao Chengzhou's side, as if afraid of Xiao Chengzhou's repentance.

Xiao Chengzhou lowered his head, met Xie Yan's obedient smiling face, raised his fingertips, and finally resisted the urge to pinch his cheek.

Xie Yan hasn't been to Qingfeng Building for a long time.

Qingfeng Building is a place that scholars love to go to. Xie Yan and Zheng Peng have been there before, but most of the scholars seem to have a natural prejudice against these dudes like them.Zheng Peng beat up a scholar who spoke badly because of this before, and as a result, his father was impeached, and Zheng Peng was also locked up at home for half a month.

If you can't provoke me, can you still hide?The brothers went to other places after that, and never came to Qingfeng Building again.

Xie Yan followed Xiao Chengzhou, went straight to the second floor of Qingfeng Tower, and entered one of the boxes.Li Wenhua arrived early in the morning and waited inside alone. When he saw Xiao Chengzhou, he warmly greeted him and greeted Xie Yan.

The officials in Li's family, although their position is not obvious, but the family branch is huge, there are many officials, and their power in the court should not be underestimated.Xie Yan was not familiar with Li Wenhua, but he and Li Wenhua had met many times at various banquets, so they were no strangers to each other.Li Wenhua was well-mannered, but he was not at all like the sour Confucian scholars in Xie Yan's eyes, and the two sides could talk a little bit.

Xie Yan knew that Xiao Chengzhou and Li Wenhua had something to talk about, so he asked Nan Xing to bring some snacks and snacks, and wisely found a seat by the window in the private room to sit, not to listen to what they said.

The Qingfeng Building is right next to the Queqiao Lake. It is built by the water and has a wide view. At this time, their box is on a high place, and they can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery below with a glance. Those who didn't have much ink, suddenly became poetic, and wanted to sing poems and sing songs.

"Ah!" He opened his mouth, stuck for a long time, smashed his mouth, touched the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth... let's eat.

He got up too early these two days, Xie Yan lay on his stomach with the window railing open, watching the boats passing by in the lake, listening to the indistinct murmurs in his ears, blowing the cool wind from the lake, unconsciously He fell asleep, and when Nan Xing found out, Xie Yan had already snorted.

"Young Master, let's sleep on the other side." Nan Xing gently pushed Xie Yan twice, worried that he would twist his neck after sleeping like this for a while.

Xiao Chengzhou, who was talking to Li Wenhua over there, had been paying attention to Xie Yan at all times, but when he saw this, he suddenly stopped talking and got up, came to Xie Yan's side, and hugged Xie Yan up.

"My lord!" Nan Xing exclaimed in fear, and Li Wenhua also looked at Xiao Chengzhou in surprise.

Xiao Chengzhou glanced at Nan Xing lightly, motioning him not to wake Xie Yan up, then he walked around the screen, put Xie Yan on the arhat bed in the inner room for people to take a nap, combed Xie Yan's hair, came out with a normal expression, and sat back at the table side.

Li Wenhua poured a cup of tea, handed it over with both hands, and said, "This is not like you."

Xiao Chengzhou took it, took a sip, and said with a smile: "In your heart, what is this king like?"

Li Wenhua was stunned, then laughed twice, and under Xiao Chengzhou's warning eyes, lowered his voice, "What the lord said is that what we see with our naked eyes is just what you want to show."

In Li Wenhua's eyes, Xiao Chengzhou was decisive and cold-hearted, but when he faced Xie Yan, he was gentle, humble and extremely tolerant.A multi-faceted individual, in fact, only depends on who he faces.

Xiao Chengzhou walked to the window and stood still. He stood gracefully with his hands behind his back, tall and straight, with a handsome face and curved eyebrows.There was a smile on the corner of his lips, but at this moment, that smile was no longer just on the surface, but filled with some kind of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

Li Wenhua patted the folding fan and stood beside him, glanced sideways at him, and said in a low voice, "We will stop the clues of the poisoner when we find Prince Hui."

Prince Hui is the eldest prince Xiao Chenghao, the second prince Xiao Chenghan is Prince Duan, and the fourth prince Xiao Chengrui is Prince Yu.

Thinking of the red mole on his chest, Xiao Chengzhou twitched the corners of his eyes, curled the corners of his mouth, and said calmly: "Continue to investigate, it may not be King Hui."

Xiao Chengzhou knew that his brothers were very contradictory to him. He wanted to win him over, but he was also afraid of his current strength.The corruption case he was ordered to investigate before was located in a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. The local officials and businessmen colluded, and the officials and officials protected each other, which nourished a large number of officials.The evidence he found pointed to King Hui on the surface, but Xiao Chengzhou peeked out from some details inside that the matter was not as simple as he understood. It is still unknown who is behind this.

Li Wenhua heard what Xiao Chengzhou meant, and wanted to stare at him and not let go, so he said, "I understand."

There was a commotion downstairs, Li Wenhua looked over, and saw a group of literati coming hand in hand with one of them at the center.

Li Wenhua sneered, "This second child of the Fan family is quite respected among this group of scholars."

Li Wenhua doesn't think much of these literati and scholars who only know how to socialize in various places all day long. They have too few real talents and practical learning. Hanging on the lips, it seems that he is not a scholar.

Among the aristocratic family, it is not uncommon for Fan Junyuan to enter the official career by relying on his own scientific research. However, he hangs around with these folk students all day long. To put it bluntly, he is approachable and has no airs. In fact, he is not trying to gain a good reputation for himself , By the way, recruit desirable talents.

Xiao Chengzhou looked at Fan Er who followed everyone into the Qingfeng Tower, and looked into the distance, "Today is the third day of July?"

"That's right." Li Wenhua said, looking at the lake in the distance, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Tonight, all the flower shops will hold a competition in the middle of the lake. Are you interested in watching?"

Xiao Chengzhou smiled inexplicably, and agreed, "It's okay to have a look."

Li Wenhua looked at him strangely, and then happily said: "Then I'll let someone prepare for it, get a good position, and let the prince return home with all his heart."

Xiao Chengzhou said: "It doesn't have to be so good, just be next to the flower boat in Ruyifang."

"Tsk..." Li Wenhua patted his forehead with a folding fan with a headache, it doesn't need to be so good, do you know how difficult it is to occupy a place next to Ruyifang?Helplessly, Xiao Chengzhou had already spoken, and it was Li Wenhua who asked to keep him, so he had to deal with the headache.

Xie Yan went back to the cage and slept until noon. This sleep made him very satisfied, and he woke up very refreshed.It's just that after learning that he actually threw Xiao Chengzhou aside and fell asleep, he couldn't help feeling annoyed, and murmured to Nan Xing: "Why didn't you call me when I fell asleep, my lord?"

Nan Xing put on shoes for him, "Play chess with Mr. Li outside."

Xie Yan felt relieved, when he walked around the screen, he was about to call out to Xiao Chengzhou, but he saw Xiao Chengzhou looking up.

Xiao Chengzhou smiled, "Did you sleep well?"

Xie Yan nodded in embarrassment, walked over, and just sat down beside Xiao Chengzhou, a few servants who had been waiting at the side put the food box on the table, took out the plates of snacks inside and placed it on Xie Yan's body forward.

Xiao Chengzhou inquired: "We won't go back to eat at noon, and there is a flower shop next to it in the evening, stay and have a look before going back?"

Xie Yan hesitated and said, "I have to ask my parents about this."

Don't look at Xie Yan running around all day long, but there are some places that his family expressly prohibits him from going, such as the gambling houses in the city and those romantic places, if he goes, his legs will be broken when he goes home.Xie Yan and Zheng Peng have been staring at this flower shop for a long time. They have long wanted to learn more and see the sisters' skills competition in each flower boat shop, but their family members have no choice. They are not allowed to go. If they go, they will break their legs when they go home.

Another one, because the place where the flower workshop is held is close to the Qingfeng Building, the students and literati who go in and out of the Qingfeng Building also like to participate in this kind of excitement. The fame of those flower workshop sisters is often accompanied by poems written by literati to praise them praise.Xie Yan and the others had always avoided these scholars, and their family didn't allow them, so they haven't been there yet.

Li Wenhua was very surprised that Xie Yan was such an honest child. He hadn't seen such a child for many years, so he laughed and said, "Master Xie, I heard that you died because of fighting for a beautiful woman in the street when you were 13 years old." Spend a lot of money, why, how..." It's just a visit to the flower shop, why is it like a three-year-old buying candy, and you have to go back and ask your parents?

Xie Yan's cheeks flushed red from Li Wenhua's laughter, he said urgently: "What kind of fights in the street, what kind of spending a lot of money, what do you sound like a mess!"

Seeing him like this, Li Wenhua laughed even louder.

"Brother Zhou, don't listen to his nonsense." Xie Yan turned his head to look at Xiao Chengzhou, "It must be another bastard who doesn't like me who is arranging me behind the scenes. I have never done such a thing!"

Xie Yan is so old, he has never even touched the hands of the little maids in the mansion, so how could he go out to touch strange women, and even spend a lot of money to fight for them in the street.He was not used to women who were obsessed with women, so he took it for granted that Xiao Chengzhou didn't like such people, so naturally he didn't want Xiao Chengzhou to think that he was such a person.

Xiao Chengzhou looked at Xie Yan who tried his best to explain to himself, but finally couldn't hold back, he pinched his cheek with a smile, "I know you haven't done it, I believe you."

Li Wenhua's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at Xiao Chengzhou as if he had seen a ghost. When Xiao Chengzhou looked over, he hurriedly restrained his expression, and pushed a plate of dim sum towards Xie Yan in a flattering way, "Master Xie, don't be angry. I'm just with you Just kidding, your lord has a lot, don't worry about it with me."

Xie Yan glanced at him coldly, snorted, took a bite of the snack he pushed over, and generously expressed that he didn't care about it, but he still didn't forget to explain for himself, "I really haven't done such a thing, I'm sure Someone deliberately made it up to disgust me, you believe me."

Li Wenhua nodded, looking at Xie Yan's serious appearance, he really believed it in his heart.
