Chapter 106

Since he came to visit Wei Jiansu in his private name, Li Cangyu had to take some effort.

Famous families like the Wei family in Jingzhao generally advocate Confucianism and pay special attention to the word "ritual". It is not a gift, but a kind of ritual in the Book of Rites.

First of all, Li Cangyu prepared a humble and humble reply, saying that he was a junior from a poor family and was quite uneasy when he came to disturb him. There was really something very important that he asked to listen to Mr. Wei’s teachings in person.

The gift presented together with the prayer post is also carefully prepared.

Li Cangyu also got off the carriage, stood outside the mansion with a straight look without looking sideways, and patiently waited for the owner's response.

Wei Jiansu and Wei Youniang were in the study and read the greetings and gifts presented by Li Cangyu.

Wei Jiansu took the bow and looked carefully, "Young mom, you're right. Look, the bow and post written by Li Cangyu himself did not use thin gold style, but the regular Chu style small calligraphy."

"Father, the gift he presented was considered to be heart-warming," said Wei Youniang. "There is a box of Gu Zhuzisans from Huzhou, which is a famous tea that is popular among celebrities in the capital; and a set of exquisite white porcelain tea sets produced by Quyang Famous Kiln."

Wei Jiansu nodded and smiled, "This kind of gift is neither cheap nor shabby, nor is it aroused by the excessive luxury. Drinking tea is a favored by nobles. It seems that this young man is not only knowledgeable, smart and capable, but also very polite. It is indeed very good. It's just a pity..."

"Father, what a pity?" Wei Youniang asked.

Wei Jiansu showed the greeting post to Wei Youniang, "A junior in the poor family!... a poor family!"

"Father, what's wrong with the poor family?" Wei Youniang said disapprovingly, "In my daughter's opinion, the most important thing in this capital is the nobles of famous families, but there are really few who have real talents and knowledge, and they have no ability to do anything. They all know how to eat, drink, and have fun."

"You child!" Wei Jiansu shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, I won't tell you in detail now. You can't let others wait for a long time. For your father, you have to go and entertain guests."

"Father, I'll go too!" Wei Youniang regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, and quickly lowered her head and her cheeks were filled with clouds.

"No." Wei Jiansu, who has always doted on his daughter, became serious at this moment, "How can a famous lady come to meet a male guest in the middle of the night?"

"My father taught me a lesson, my daughter knew she was wrong..." Wei Youniang hurriedly bowed to the ground, "The daughter will go back to her room and copy "The Little Rule"."

"I miss you for a moment, and I'll just punish you." Wei immediately softened his heart again, "Waiting here is here, reading a book. When I'm going to see Li Cangyu for a while, I'll talk to you later when I come back."

"Daughter obeys the order." Wei Youniang promised well, "Father, go quickly, don't let the guests wait for a long time."

Wei Jiansu laughed and said, "Come here, Xiang Xiang change her clothes!"

Li Cangyu stood outside the gate without moving for a long time, and the arrow wounds hurt. Xiao Jinxuan came forward and whispered: "Wait for the middle-aged man, why not get in the car and rest for a while?"

"Do you think I'm willing to stand like this?" Li Cangyu smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "There is no way. Such a wealthy family is the most important thing. I am a poor official to visit a famous official. The most important thing is to be humble and have good etiquette. Otherwise, I may be rejected. Wouldn't that be a waste of time and cause a big deal to happen?"

Xiao Jinxuan was a little angry and whispered: "The little old man hasn't come out for so long, may he still be dressing up?"

Li Cangyu laughed inwardly, "Don't say it, it's really possible!"

After waiting for a long time, the Wei family finally sent an old housekeeper to formally receive Li Cangyu and welcome him into the mansion. After walking through several deep courtyards of the Wei family, Li Cangyu saw Wei Jiansu sitting upright in the living room.

Li Cangyu had known for a long time that Wei Jiansu never deliberately entrusted himself as an easy-going person, but after returning home, he could not break the etiquette and rules that wealthy families had always been. He did not go out to greet him in person and waited in the living room, which was in line with the way of hospitality between famous families and poor families, and fourth-rank officials and seven-rank officials.

Li Cangyu stopped outside the living room door and bowed, "Li Cangyu paid homage to Wei Shaoqing. It is so offensive to disturb him late at night. Please forgive me!"

Wei saw Su coming up with a smile and bowed her back, "My little friend Cang Yu, there is no need to be so polite in private. Please enter the hall and talk."

Li Cangyu smelled a scent of sandalwood on his body. There were no wrinkles on his newly changed clothes, and his hair and beard were combed neatly. It can be seen that the little old man was really dressing up just now.

"Mr. Wei, you are so elegant and glorious!" Li Cangyu couldn't help but smile and praise, "Who is the next poor minor official, who is worthy of Mr. Wei treating each other so kindly?"

"Hey, this is beyond your opinion." Wei Jiansu said with a smile, "I don't care about your origin and title, but respect you for your character. Please take a seat."

The two sat down in the living room, incense was lit in the copper stove, the servant presented good tea, and the melodious song of silk and bamboo was played behind the screen.

"My friend Cang Yu, there are only a few old musicians in my house and have never raised a singer." Wei Jiansu said, "If there is any inappropriateness, I would like to ask you to forgive me!"

The officials and nobles of the Tang Dynasty made friends, and the singular music came to the table to cheer them up, which was almost the "standard". Wei Jiansu had always had a reputation of being "not good at women", but Li Cangyu clearly remembered the scene when he met him at Niannuzhai that day, and couldn't help but feel funny... The little old man, he is quite capable of pretending.

Well, that's not the focus today at all.

Li Cangyu said: "Wei Gongrong, it is best to spare even the silk and bamboo. Here we come here to discuss important matters."

Wei Jiansu was slightly stunned, remembering the scene when Li Cangyu visited him at the official office that day, and nodded, "Since that's the case, please move to the study room. We will talk to each other in a secret manner."

"Please, Mr. Wei."

The two of them came to the study. As soon as they entered the door, Wei saw Su was stunned and slapped his forehead again... Forgot that his daughter was still here!

Wei Youniang was sitting there reading a book when she suddenly saw Wei Jiansu bringing a man in and was slightly surprised, and then she looked at Li Cangyu.

Although Li Cangyu knew how to respect the etiquette of famous families, she was a modern person after all. She didn't feel anything unusual at the moment. She nodded and smiled politely at her, and couldn't help but think of Chanjuan in her heart.

Both of them were beautiful and had the bookish temperament of a lady from a noble family. The difference is that Chanjuan is delicate and graceful like a gentle and restrained porcelain doll; this girl has clear facial features, relatively high spirits, and a relatively tall and plump figure. In addition, this gorgeous and colorful aristocratic costume makes her look more like a typical Tang Dynasty beauty, full of the atmosphere of the prosperous empire.

Wei Youniang blushed in an instant, and quickly lowered her head and moved her gaze away. Then she put down the book, turned around and gave Li Cangyu a bow, "I've seen the husband."

"I'm polite." Li Cangyu also bowed and replied.

Wei Jiansu saw that since the two had met, there was nothing to worry about, so he generously recommended it: "My friend Cang Yu, this is the young girl. Daughter, this is Zhang Gong's high-level soccer, Li Langjun, the middle-aged man in Jinwu, and his name is Cang Yu."

The two of them gave each other a politely gift, and Wei Youniang asked to say goodbye and leave. Although she was a little shy and surprised, she was still neither humble nor arrogant nor panic. When she walked out of the study and passed by Li Cangyu, she stopped deliberately and turned her head to look at Li Cangyu.

Li Cangyu discovered that the girl's eyes were full of curiosity and judgment, and there seemed to be some strange heat?...Okay, the little girl who has been hiding in the boudoir for many years suddenly saw a strange man. It was normal for her to react like this!
