Chapter 138 Promotion and Demotion (3)
"Old man, Xiaolian seems to have some emotions towards me, what's going on?"
Li Xun found Li Mancang and asked.
Li Mancang snorted twice and said angrily: "How dare you ask me about the good things you did yourself?"
"What on earth did I do? You all have a bad look on me. Old man, tell me clearly!" Li Xun spread his hands and said helplessly.
Li Mancang glanced at his son and saw that he didn't seem to be pretending to be confused, so he explained the matter in detail.
After listening to Li Mancang's explanation, Li Xun opened his mouth and looked dumbfounded.
After the Baihuayuan incident, Xia Zhi has been staying in Phoenix Tower and living with Chen Shishi. Some time ago, someone made trouble in Phoenix Tower. Wang Fan happened to be present and stopped the troublemaker. He took the opportunity to tease Xia Zhi and Chen Shishi. Someone immediately said
It was better not to say that the two of them were Li Xun's lovers and told Wang Fan not to be presumptuous. Once he said it, Wang Fan became furious and slapped Xia Zhi. The scene was in chaos. Several friends who were traveling with Wang Fan
, knowing that the backstage of Phoenix Tower was very tough, and fearing that he would make things worse and implicate himself, he forcibly pulled Wang Fan away, and the matter calmed down temporarily. However, after Wang Fan made such a fuss, the matter was quickly exposed, and Xia Zhi,
The relationship between Chen Shishi and Li Xun was also spread throughout Fengjing City. Some people were envious, while others were jealous and resentful.
Li Xun had a wry smile on his face: "So, I'm a celebrity now."
Li Mancang frowned and said displeased: "You think this is good? What is your relationship with those two brothel girls?"
Li Xun shook his head: "We're just ordinary friends. Old man, don't listen to the nonsense said by those people outside."
Li Mancang stared at Li Xun and warned: "I don't care what your relationship is with them, but I'm going to be ugly and say it in front of you. Girls from brothels like them will never be the wives of my Li family."
"Old man, don't say anything about brothel girls. There is nothing they can do about Xia Zhi and Chen Shishi falling into that kind of place. It is not what they want."
Li Xun said somewhat unhappily that although Chen Shishi and Xia Zhi ended up in a brothel, they were not just random women, and they were also very talented in literature. Li Xun had contacted them several times and felt that these two women were very good.
Li Mancang said in a deep voice: "Although our Li family is not a famous family, we, father and son, both have official titles now. We can be considered a family of officials. With your aunt here, your future will be boundless. Don't worry about it.
A woman has ruined her reputation and ruined her future."
"You've grown up too, and it bothers you if you talk too much, so I won't say more. You can figure it out yourself."
Li Mancang took one last look at his son and turned to leave.
Li Xun was really upset, and his originally good mood was gone.
This Wang Fan, whom I don’t even know, is provoking me again and again. Do you really think that I am easy to bully?
Li Xun clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with great hatred in his heart.
No wonder Xiaolian ignored her. It turned out to be like this. The incident between Xia Zhi and Chen Shishi must have also spread to her ears. At this moment, Xiaolian might not know how sad she was. Li Xun thought about it.
, just as he was about to go to Xiaolian to explain, the housekeeper Laosheng rushed over again.
"Young Master, His Highness Prince Qi sent someone to send a message, inviting the Young Master to have dinner at his palace tonight."
"I know, tell the person coming and I will go on time."
Li Xun nodded, gave instructions, and then searched around the house, but could not find Xiaolian. After asking around, he found out that Xiaolian had just gone out to the farm and was going to stay with her uncle for a few days.
Li Xun sighed and felt very tired, even more tired than when he was in Longyou.
Ignoring other things for the time being, Li Xun went back to his room and had a good sleep.
A knock on the door pulled Li Xun out of his sleep. He stood up and opened the door, only to see Jiang Daxiong standing outside.
"whats the matter?"
Jiang Daxiong said dullly: "Boss, Lao Sheng asked me to wake you up and said that he would go to King Qi's place for dinner tonight."
Li Xun glanced at the sky. It was already dusk and the sky was very dark. If he didn't leave, it would be too late.
Li Xun rubbed his groggy head, washed his face, and then hurried to Prince Qi's Mansion.
Prince Qi's Mansion is in Beicheng, which is quite far away from Li Xun's residence. When we got there, the sky was completely dark.
Li Xun got off the carriage and walked towards the gate.
"Boss, don't forget to ask someone to bring the food out. I didn't have enough to eat at noon."
Jiang Daxiong shouted loudly behind him. Although Li Xun treated him well and did not look down on him, in the eyes of others, Jiang Daxiong was actually Li Xun's servant. With this status, he could not enter Prince Qi's palace.
"I know, I can't make you hungry."
Li Xun waved his hand and came to the gate.
Li Xun had been to Zhao Xun's palace several times, and the soldiers guarding the gate knew him, so they did not stop him and allowed Li Xun to enter the palace directly.
Zhao Xun's palace does not occupy a large area, and the decoration style is relatively simple and simple, which is inferior to that of ordinary ministers. When Li Xun came for the first time, he was also very surprised. After Zhao Xun and Guan came of age, he had to follow the instructions
Moved out of the palace, built a palace and became king. As Zhao Zhi's favorite son, how could Zhao Zhi let him suffer? He gave Zhao Xun more than ten mansions and asked Zhao Xun to choose one as his palace, including many of them.
There were hundreds of acres of luxurious houses, but in the end, Zhao Xun chose the worst and most ordinary one. Li Xun asked Zhao Xun about it in confusion, but the latter just smiled and did not answer the question.
"General Li, you are finally here. His Highness Prince Qi has been waiting impatiently."
When Li Xun entered the palace, the housekeeper came towards him with some complaints on his face.
"Sorry, I overslept. Where is my cousin?"
Li Xun apologized.
"His Royal Highness is in the living room, discussing matters with several adults."
Li Xun nodded. It seemed that Zhao Xun's banquet tonight was not just for him to get rid of the dust.
When they arrived at the living room, Zhao Xun sat at the head of the table, with three officials sitting on both sides. Each of them had a separate desk with some food and wine on it. There were no servants around to wait on him. This was also Zhao Xun's style.
, is an easy-going man and lives a simple life. When Li Xun came to his place for dinner several times, he always served the food and picked up the dishes himself.
Zhao Xun was talking to them. When he saw Li Xun walking into the living room, he immediately looked at him, pointed at the food and wine on the table, and chuckled: "I thought you weren't coming, so I didn't wait for you."
Li Xun chuckled and said, "Cousin, I'm so sorry, I overslept."
"Hello, gentlemen."
Li Xun bowed his hands in greeting to several officials, who smiled and nodded, then stood up and returned the greetings.
These people were very strange and Li Xun didn't know any of them.
Li Xun found an empty seat and sat down, and soon someone brought drinks and food.
Zhao Xun pointed to the officials and introduced them one by one. They were all officials of the Sixth Ministry, but their ranks were not high. Two were in the sixth rank and one was in the seventh rank.
"Li Xun has heard of you all for a long time. It is a blessing to meet you today."
Li Xun smiled and said some polite words, and everyone was also humble and polite.
