The war in the northwest has also become the topic that ordinary people talk most recently after dinner. The battle on the Yunshan Plank Road was so evident. Especially the people in the northwest, they are closely related to their interests and are always paying attention to the war in the northwest. The wise kings fought a great victory in the front, so they were naturally happy and all hoped to relieve the wars earlier, drive away the enemy, and return to their homes.

In Ziyu Pass, the Yucheng, the streets are bustling, with crowds of people and bustling, and it is very lively. The shouts of vendors coming and going, the rhythmic sound of shaking bells and drums in the hands of peddlers, the long whimpering horses, the hustle and bustle of people, etc. The bustle is mixed with seven emotions and six desires, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the various life in a region.

The carriage Liu Li and Qingsi were riding slowly through this bustling and bustling street market. Qingsi sat against the window, lifted the curtain of the car, biting half of the honeydew melon, looking at the largest city in the northwest with curiosity, from time to time, pointing at something I had never seen before and asked.

"Young Master, look at that, what are they selling?"

Liu Li's gentleman look dressed up. The tall black is straightened with an ebony hairpin. He is wearing a clear water blue double-breasted Confucian robe, with a crescent white silver flower carved silk gauze on the outside, and a white wide-edged vine flower belt with a simple and low-end dress, with an elegant temperament and handsome appearance. He held the book and leaned lazily on the cushion. His doubts about the black hair were either agreed to a few words or leisurely flipped through a few pages of the book.

Qingsi answered the novelty he described, Liu Li, without looking at it, turned around curiously and asked, "Young Master, how did you know that you have been to the northwest before?"

Liu Li rolled his eyes secretly and pointed to the thick stack of Tianshu that he had seen on the small table in the car box and said, "It's all written in the book, I don't know what to check it myself."

Qingshi stuck out her tongue, scratched her ears and cheeks, and she smiled embarrassedly. When she mentioned the book, she felt a headache. Apart from medical books, she had never read all the books seriously.

"Young Master, forget it, you don't know me yet, you can barely recognize a few words, and you just wrote them down with the name of the medicine." Qingsi said.

The carriage was moving forward swayingly. Suddenly, a group of soldiers riding fast horses rushed out of the alley next to it. For a moment, the streets became chaotic. As the brigade of soldiers rode by, the streets were filled with chaos.

In order to avoid this rude team of horses, Liu Li's carriage stopped and turned rapidly, almost revitalizing Liu Li from his seat.

"What's going on?"

"Go back to the young master, look at the horse team marked like the fifth master of the Chang family." The coachman said.

The streets were messy, and the carriage could not move forward and retreat for a while. Looking at the situation in the street market, it would take some time to resume normal traffic, so he simply didn't get far from his destination. Liu Ziyue decided to get off the carriage and walk over with Qingshi. He asked the coachman about the specific location on the first floor of Yucheng Tian. The two of them were holding a folding fan that young scholars often matched, and leisurely took the alleyway and road to the lane.

The first floor of the northwest, because Liu Li had planned his most likely trip to the northwest early in the morning, Liu Li did not adopt the form of external franchise, but appointed appropriate people to take care of it. Important cities in the northwest including Yucheng, Jicheng, Shancheng, Micheng, Jingcheng and other important cities have their first floor sections.

Similar to Tianyilou, Jingcheng, because of its unique spice recipes and the processing and improvement of dishes, Tianyilou in Yucheng is also very good business.

People in wartime were always in a hurry. Behind the bustling and bustling street markets, you could always see pedestrians rushing on the street markets, soldiers whistling by the street markets from time to time, and officials patrolling in groups with swords and guns. However, Tianyifang in Yucheng is a bit like a temporary refuge harbor for people during the war. Here, guests gathered from all over the world, and in the bright and spacious hall, the waiter's loud and penetrating voice sounded from time to time, and the reputation of the fire planners rising and falling in the food, the buzzing sound of the guests talking, and everything was similar to that of peacetime, including the similar fragrant food here.

As they rushed along the way, Liu Li and Qingsi were hungry now. They decided to have a meal in the hall and find the shopkeeper to reveal their identity later. While Liu Li was having a meal, he listened to a scholar with red lips and white teeth from the table talking about the most hot topic in the northwest. The wise king on the Yunshan Plank Road was the beautiful victory battle.

"You have seen it like you said it really?" A young and strong man at the table interrupted the scholar's endless talk.

"Why didn't there? I just came from Jicheng." The scholar said.

An old man at another table smiled and said, "So you have seen the wise king?"

"I've seen it. She is so tall and so big, and she's wearing a scary gray on her face. It's not white. Oh, right? I remember it's a silver mask." The scholar stroked a few times.

The old man dug up and said sarcastically: "Okay, when you see the true Buddha, you don't even see whether the Buddha's skin is black or white. Who are you coaxing me? Let's go home and tease my wife and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf."

Everyone burst into laughter. The scholar was a little upset by the old man's aroused. He blushed, as if to prove that he had not lie, he said loudly: "I am far away and I don't see it. But I am lucky to see the beauty of the wise king. It is so beautiful that the country is so beautiful that the whole country is so beautiful, and the whole country is so beautiful...." The scholar began to chew the words again, shaking his head and saying, like a storyteller, and wishing to use all the words he knew on the woman who was not as beautiful as a woman.

Everyone didn't believe it, so they all used the scholar's words as a joke. Seeing this, the scholar put a sip of wine, lifted up his sleeves and said to others, "I haven't seen what color of mask I wear, but I heard that it's scary. But don't look at the wise king's appearance, they are very arrogant. Except for such a beauty, the Chang family sent several big carts of beauties to Jicheng for several days in a row."

“Really or not.”

"You can't be wrong." The scholar counted his fingers and ralled his distant relatives who were ten miles apart. "He was the client who delivered vegetables to Pingxi Army. He told me in person. That beauty..." The sound of the book was evil and evil, and his long face, which was already thin and sharp, was a little scary and hideous under his ugly and lustful expression.

Liu Li stopped eating, looked at the black hair, and carefully looked at the scholar. The gray coarse cloth clothes and round robe, cuffs, back hem and black cloth shoes were covered with several patches of the same color of clothing. The poor scholar dressed up, and looked at whether he was a local.

Liu Li used the remaining rice boringly, but he was randomly filled in to cope with his hungry belly. Well, he was disgusted by the beauties mentioned by the scholar. Although reason told her that what the scholar said was mostly untrue, the emotional matters were often unreasonable. Besides, the groundlessness may not be without cause, and her master is so excellent. For various purposes, the Chang family is very likely to ease the relationship with her master.

After the meal, Liu Li took the token to find the shopkeeper and showed his identity. In the backyard study room, the shopkeeper greeted and greeted him, Liu Li began to review the management in the store, check the accounts, etc. Because he was in a normal state of being indifferent to him, even he felt a little unnecessary and ridiculous, Liu Li deliberately delayed the time to meet him in Jicheng. He rushed to see him in a hurry, but he thought she could not leave him. She refused to see him, and she had serious matters when she came to the northwest.

Although the operation of Yucheng Tianyi Building is still good, Liu Li, who is good at managing the business, pointed out many mistakes. Liu Li himself also worked hard for several days.

That day, the shopkeeper took out a post and handed it to Liu Li.

"This is?"

Liu Li sat by the window and came to his senses, looked at the shopkeeper, and opened the post.

"On the birthday of Mr. Chang Wu, young master, do you see if you will go tomorrow or your subordinate?"

"Our small businessman, how can you post to us on Chang Wuye's birthday?" Liu Li was puzzled.

"Young Master doesn't know that not only us, but all the merchants with names in the northwest have posted posts." The shopkeeper showed a faint sarcastic smile. With his thin eyebrows and small eyes, his eyes were gone, leaving only a long slit of eyes hidden among several deep wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"How much is this kind of banquet for the Chang family in one year?" Liu Li stood up, gently pressed his chin with a post, and paced back and forth in the study thoughtfully.

"Many, old lady, the birthday party, birthday party for the grandfather of the Chang family. Born a boy, full moon banquet, victory and celebration banquet, and the Chang family's wedding and funerals are banquets. There are three generations of families in the Chang family, and there are dozens of such banquets in a year." The shopkeeper said without any concealment and disgust.

"They all invite them, we're going?"

"The strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The Chang family is recognized as the uncrowned king in the northwest. How can you do business on other people's land without worshiping the mountain gate?" The shopkeeper sighed helplessly. He counted his fingers and listed the merchants who had suffered losses in this area for nearly a year.

"The government doesn't care?"

"How to deal with it? We don't count the Chang family's banquet, but the official family also wants to go there. They are going to support the scene." said the shopkeeper.

Liu Li took the post and took over the banquet on behalf of Tianyilou. The shopkeeper shook his head and muttered in a low voice like the world wind and sunset, and then retreated from the study.

The next morning, Liu Li got up early in the morning and took the "filial piety" prepared by the shopkeeper to attend Chang Wuye's birthday banquet with Qingsi. The banquet was set at noon. Liu Li thought that he was coming early, and the carriages and horses drove into Yong'an Road near Changtai Street, and felt that the wide road was congested. The whole street was paved to the corner of the street, and countless colorful carriages, horses and sedan chairs were chased by.

"My goodness, it's already like this before I reach the mountain gate. The Chang family's pomp is much bigger than the so-called high gates in Beijing." Qingsi lifted the curtain of the car and said in a daze.

After walking a step, the carriage stopped for half a cup of tea. After a cup of tea, Liu Li slowly brewed a cup of plum tea for himself, and pounded the chess record to read.

Yong'an Road was slow to move the carriage from time to time, and when he arrived at Changtai Street in front of the Chang'an Mansion, the carriage was not moved for a long time. Liu Li and Qingsi had just entered the door almost noon, and they had seen the scene of a high-powered, high-ranking banquet and large banquet.

The Chang family is very big, with courtyards connected to courtyards, pavilions and towers next to each other. Compared with the Beijing courtyard, the layout of the houses is very different, and it is majestic and exotic.

Liu Li was a male guest, and he entered the male guest. The merchants were entertained by several concubines of the Chang family. Of course, the legitimate young masters also had more important officials to receive them. However, the fifth masters of Chang family and other senior officials were the senior officials who attended the banquet. As for the old master, unless the prince and grandson arrived in person, they would usually not be able to escape because of their old age or illness, and they usually did not meet the guests in person.

When he first came, Liu Li was not familiar with everyone. He briefly represented the Tianyilou and everyone being polite. He then withdrew from the hall and went to the back garden to relax. What surprised Liu Li was that he met an acquaintance in the capital in a foreign land.

"Why are you here?" Liu Li looked at the noble young master in front of him in surprise, dressed in graceful and elegant, as elegant as an immortal.

"I am in the same county. I should ask you, why did you come to the northwest?" Yan Qingyuan said the words, and felt regretful, for fear that she would make it boring for her to say that she came to the northwest for that person. Fortunately, Liu Li did not mention the person, and only said that there were important matters to deal with on the Tianyilou.

Yan Qingyuan smiled, and this smile was like a breeze and bright moon, and it dazzled Liu Li's eyes. Yan Qingyuan's smile on his face was even brighter. He always hated women looking at him straight, except for Liu Li. Her eyes looked at him were pure, clean, without distractions, and without blasphemy. It was a completely appreciation and cherishment of beautiful things.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, in a strange environment, makes people unconsciously want to cherish a kind of nostalgic feeling of being familiar with friends. Liu Li felt this way about Yan Qingyuan at this time. Because of the capital, Qingyun Temple, past friendship, etc., she and Yan Qingyuan had many common topics in their conversations.

"Long time no see you when you are away from the young master."

When Liu Li heard this, his voice froze, his heart beat more and more, and his face turned red with discomfort. Liu Li pretended to be calm, covered the joy at the corner of his mouth, turned around calmly and saluted the people with Yan Qingyuan seriously.

"The grass people have met the wise king." Liu Li said.

"waived."

Mr. Mr.'s word "no" was very serious. I didn't need to read it anymore. Mr. Mr. Mr. was angry and very angry. Liu Li lowered his head and shrank his neck, trying his best to reduce his presence. Well, she was wrong. She ran away from home privately and was caught by Mr. Mr. himself.

A tall and thin old man stood beside him. Seeing this, he asked with a smile: "The wise king knows them?"

A great master glanced at his honest and stupid wife and snorted faintly. Yan Qingyuan learned from the introduction of Mr. Chang Wu who came with him that the old man was the famous old man of the Chang family and the serious father-in-law of Donghua Kingdom, and then knelt down to salute Mr. Chang. Seeing this, Liu Li had a headache. Did she salute in front of Mr. Chang, or was she not polite?
