Xiao Yu left with his two sons.
That night, Li Shimin summoned Xiao Yu to Taiji Palace.
"Your Majesty, today at noon…why were you in the Xiao Manor…that Xiao Fan? Could it be…"
Li Shimin waved his hand.”
What?
Xiao Yu was stunned.
"I need to get something out of this precious son," Li Shiming said."Don't mention my identity to anyone."”
"This…"
"There's a mountain on the outskirts of Chang 'an. I'll give it to you.”
"What else do you have to say?"
"I will keep my mouth shut for Your Majesty!" Xiao Yu said solemnly.”
……
Xiao Yu clicked his tongue in wonder as he returned to the mansion.
He shook his head and sighed." Mistaking out the wrong father…This really subverts my worldview.”
Xiao Rui and Xiao Kai came over.
"Father, why are you so cowardly today?”
"He's too cowardly. I'm so angry that my body is trembling!”
"That's right. You're the Duke and have such a high status. Why do you have that expression when you see Xiao Fan's father?”
Xiao Yu clenched his fists and looked at the two idiots angrily.
"Get lost!"
"Oh right, His Majesty has rewarded a mountain to our Xiao Manor. Go and check it.”
Xiao Yu waved his hand and sent his two sons away patiently.
……
Xiao Rui and Xiao Kai arrived at the outskirts of Chang 'an City with anticipation.
The two of them were dumbfounded when they saw the top of the mountain.
Salt Mountain!
Poisonous Salt Mountain!
What was the use?
The two of them were filled with righteous indignation.
His Majesty is too detestable! This was the reward? Wasn't this treating him like a monkey?
"Brother, I want to sell it!"
"Yes, we must sell it, but who should we scam?”
Xiao Rui fell into deep thought. Then, his eyes lit up."I see that little cousin is silly, so I think it's safe.”
"No way, right?" Xiao Kai said thoughtfully. Little cousin looks quite smart, will he buy it?”
Xiao Rui raised his head to look at the sky and said indifferently,"This is the art of conversation. When the time comes, don't talk. Just watch how your brother displays his wisdom.”
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you, big brother."
……
Jing River.
Li Xinlan looked at Xiao Fan and said with a smile,"I've finished 'Romance of the Western Chamber'. It was very good.”
"Do you think Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng can really get together with such a huge difference in status?”
Xiao Fan nodded.”
Li Xinlan tilted her head and thought for a while before saying,"But this is a story. Is this possible in reality?”
Xiao Fan said,"You have to work hard. The identity barrier is not considered an obstacle."”
Li Xinlan sighed and lowered her eyes.
"Oh right, Xiao Fan, Chang Le and the others invited me to Mount Li for a walk.”
Xiao Fan's expression changed.”
Puchi!
Li Xinlan rolled her eyes at Xiao Fan and said angrily,"No, no, I won't. I won't do it again. This time, many young masters will go for the outing."”
"Blind date?"
Xiao Fan understood that there was an unwritten rule in the Tang Dynasty. Every spring, a large group of scholars and poets would gather on Mount Li for a stroll.
The princesses of the royal family and the young masters of the country would also gather there. If they liked each other, they would go home and tell their father. This was how the marriage of the royal family was completed.
"Are you going?"
Xiao Fan thought for a moment and said,"Oh, then let's go and take a look."”
……
Xiao Fan returned home.
Li Shimin smiled at Xiao Fan and rubbed his hands."Xiao Fan."
"Yes."
"Tomorrow at Mount Li, quite a few people will gather there. You have to go and take a look.”
Xiao Fan lightly looked at Li Shimin,"Why?"”
"I heard that some princesses will be going there. You should go and take a look. Who knows, there might be a few that you like."”
Li Shi Min was also worried!
Such a treasure must not be chosen by the great clans.
If he took a fancy to the young lady of an aristocratic family, it would be a devastating blow to Li Shiming.
Li Shi Min was very wary of the Seven Sects and Five Families.
This was Li Shiming's biggest enemy.
They controlled a large number of scholars, a large number of Great Tang elites, and even the officials of the Imperial Court.
Therefore, no matter what, the most important thing now was for Li Shimin to matchmake his daughter with Xiao Fan.
He did not believe that none of the princesses of the imperial family could catch Xiao Fan's eye.
Xiao Fan pursed his lips,"Hehe, there are quite a few princesses. Do you think they can matchmake you?"”
"Why not?" Li Shiming smiled.”
"Please stop bragging, okay?"”
"I-"
Xiao Fan waved his hand and left.
……
The next day.
The spring light was bright and beautiful.
The Li River beside Mount Li was filled with scholars and poets.
The most eye-catching of them all was an open space in a garden surrounded by fences and guarded by Golden Guards.
Xiao Fan walked in.
Li Wan protected Li Xinlan by her side.
Seeing that Xiao Fan had arrived, Li Xinlan hurriedly came forward to welcome him. Li Wan followed behind him unwillingly.
"Brother, little cousin is indeed here!”
Xiao Kai's eyes lit up as he pointed to a spot not far away.
Xiao Rui's gaze met and he was instantly stunned, drooling.
"Second brother, who is that beside little cousin?”
"Li Wan."
"The one next to it!"
"Oh, Princess Xiang Cheng."
Xiao Rui smacked his lips," This can't be an affair with Little Cousin, right?”
Seeing Big Brother's lustful heart ripple, Xiao Rui immediately understood.
Eldest Brother has taken a fancy to Princess Xiang Cheng!
The two of them walked over.
"Xiao Fan!"
Xiao Rui greeted Xiao Fan very politely.
Xiao Fan nodded.”
"Little cousin, I came to find you on purpose." Xiao Rui said with a smile.”
Xiao Fan was puzzled and looked at Xiao Rui.”
"Yes!" Xiao Rui chuckled. Good news! It's a great thing!"
"What?" Xiao Fan frowned.
"Yesterday, His Majesty bestowed a mountain to my Xiao Manor." Xiao Rui hurriedly said. We're family. You're the first person I thought of.”
Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows,"Aiya, you're too polite. The two cousins are so generous. Are you giving it to me?"”
Xiao Rui was speechless.
Xiao Kai was speechless.
This little cousin was a little shameless!
Give it to you?
What was he thinking!
Xiao Rui hurriedly waved his hand." This is a gift from His Majesty. How can I give it away?"”
"Yes, it doesn't make sense!”
Xiao Rui smiled and said," But we'll spend a little money as compensation. This is considered a deal. In this way, His Majesty won't say anything."”
F * ck!
Big Brother's brain was still good.
This was going to fool Little Cousin until he was crippled!
Xiao Fan shook his head,"I don't lack mountains."
"Cousin, don't be anxious!" Xiao Rui waved his hand. You are now a county, how can you show the face of a county? Earth! The more land, the higher the cards! So! Little cousin, you must buy land and mountains. Don't say that cousin doesn't support you, it's all family.”
"Um, then where is the mountain you're selling? What's your name?" Xiao Fan asked.
Xiao Rui hurriedly said," On the outskirts of Chang 'an City, by the bank of the Wei River, facing the Imperial Palace and backed by the Jing River. This is Mount Jingdong!"”
Mount Jingdong?
It was inexplicably familiar!
Xiao Fan suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. He hurriedly said,"From the sound of it, this mountain is not bad. Is it expensive?”
The two brothers of the Xiao family heard this.
She was so excited that her body began to tremble.
This little cousin was really stupid!
Haha! It was guaranteed!
