Li Xue Yan's Birthday
Li Lizhi couldn't argue with him, so she had no choice but to let him be and buy a new set of clothes.
Actually, although she said she didn't want it, when Fang Jun said he would buy him new clothes, she felt sweet in her heart.
Nothing happened that night.
The next day, Fang Jun specially finished his work in the county office early and returned home early.
This was because he had to follow his wife to Ren Cheng Wang Fu to attend Li Xue Yan's 14th birthday banquet.
According to what he knew, in ancient times, when a woman turned 14, it was called the age of coming of age. To put it bluntly, it meant that she was about to reach adulthood and could get married. The purpose of holding a birthday banquet was to tell those unmarried officials 'children," My daughter is an adult. My daughter is as beautiful as a flower. My daughter can get married. Hurry up and come to Prince Ren Cheng's mansion to propose marriage."
Therefore, most of the people who attended the banquet that day were the second generation of the top officials in Chang 'an. It was a banquet for the upper class.
However, not all of them were unmarried. Some who had married and had children were on good terms with Ren Chengwang, and those who were on good terms with Li Xue Yan also came to congratulate.
Moreover, the City Lord Li Daozong and Li Shiming were cousins. Li Xue Yan had been close to Li Lizhi since she was young, like a biological sister. Therefore, Li Lizhi had carefully prepared and spent a lot of time to leave the residence with Fang Jun.
By the time they arrived at the residence of King Ren Cheng, there were already many dignitaries gathered in the residence.
Fang Jun helped Li Lizhi down from the carriage. He was afraid that she would get lost, so he held her hand tightly and walked into the residence.
"Sigh! Fang Jun! You value sex over friends. Ever since we got married, you haven't come to play with me anymore. Have you forgotten me?”
After a few steps, Fang Jun was suddenly stopped by a voice.
He was stunned. He looked at the man who was walking towards him with a woman not far away. He searched his mind for a long time before he found information about this man in the original owner's memories.
That person was called Du He, the son of Du Ruhui. He married Princess Chengyang and was the good brother of the original owner. Previously, the two of them always agreed to go to the brothels to have fun, but after Fang Jun transmigrated, they really didn't contact each other.
He quickly pulled Li Lizhi forward and teased,""Du He, long time no see, there's more spring on your face!”
Du He waved her hand." There's no such thing as spring light. As for you, I've heard that the newly appointed county magistrate of Chang 'an City is talented in poetry and painting. He is also very intelligent."”
As he spoke, he clenched his fist and lightly hit Fang Jun's shoulder."Good kid, you're really capable. You've been pretending in front of me for so long, but I didn't realize that you actually have such literary talent after so many years.”
Hearing this, Fang Jun couldn't help but feel a little awkward. He smiled embarrassedly and changed the topic,"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. Since His Majesty betrothed Princess Changle to me and made me the magistrate of Chang 'an, I naturally can't let His Majesty down.”
"That's true."
As they spoke, the two of them exchanged pleasantries and led the ladies to the banquet.
Princess Cheng Yang was Princess Chang Le's younger sister and they could not meet often after she got married. Now, she had taken advantage of Li Xue Yan's blessing to gather at this birthday banquet, and she could not help but have many things to say like Du He and Fang Jun.
However, no matter where Li Lizhi was or what Princess Tongyang was sitting on, Fang Jun's gaze never left Li Lizhi.
Du He finally couldn't stand it anymore. The words she had said were stuck in her throat.
He followed Fang Jun's line of sight, and his affectionate gaze was fixed on the person who was sitting next to Princess Chengyang. It was unknown how gentle he was.
"Hey, hey, hey, have you seen enough? She was right there and wouldn't run away, so why did she keep looking over there?”
Only then did Fang Jun retract his gaze.
"Brother Du, you must be laughing at me. My heart aches for my Furen, so I naturally want to look at her every moment.”
" Eh?" Du He looked like a modern single dog who had smelled the sour smell of love. It was as if she found it hard to believe that these words came from Fang Jun.
"I say, Brother Fang, according to my understanding of you, you weren't such an affectionate person in the past.”
Fang Jun lowered his head and smiled faintly. It was unknown what he was thinking, but his smile was very sweet."In the past, I just hadn't met someone worthy of my deep affection for her. Now that I've met her, it's naturally different.”
Du He clicked her tongue. However, when he looked at Princess Cheng Yang who was covering her face and laughing with Princess Chang Le, a trace of gentleness still rose in his heart.
However, that was only a trace of gentleness in his heart. It could not stop him from longing for those places.
After an unknown amount of time, the guests entered the banquet one after another. The musicians played a pleasant melody, and the dancers danced along.
Du He was mesmerized by what she saw. Just like before, she used her hand to turn Fang Jun, who was sitting at the side peeling oranges for Li Lizhi.
"Brother Fang, what do you think of the dancer in the middle?”
Fang Jun merely raised his eyes to take a look. Even if the dancer was as beautiful as a fairy, it did not affect his mood to peel oranges for his wife.
"Mm, not bad, not bad. Brother Du has good taste."
Du He immediately rolled her eyes at him when she heard that. Anyone could hear the perfunctory tone in his words. Moreover, he did not even raise his head when he spoke.
Could it be that this person had really lost interest in beauty for the sake of Princess Chang Le?
Du He pondered.
He just didn't believe this. After all, Fang Jun was more interested than anyone else when he said he was going to have fun.
So after he looked at Princess Chang Le who was concentrating on enjoying the song and dance, he quietly whispered into Fang Jun's ear,"I know that it's not good for Princess Chang Le to show it in front of you.”
"Come with me after the banquet is over. I'll take you to a good place."”
Fang Jun showed a disapproving look again, tilting his head and looking up to meet Du He's gaze: "I say, Brother Du, I really didn't do it because…"
Du He, who thought she knew him like the back of her hand, interrupted him."Sigh, Brother Fang, you don't have to say anything. I know all the inconveniences.”
"Brother Du, are you sure you know everything and not think you know?”
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows and asked.
Du He didn't turn around when she heard this, looking at Fang Jun with a puzzled expression.
"Forget it." Fang Jun looked at him and smiled."Brother Du said he would bring me to have fun. Where are we going?”
Only then did Du He say,"Naturally, it's Brother Fang's favorite place."”
"I heard that a new brothel has opened in Chang 'an recently. There are all foreign women and the wine tastes of foreign countries. Do you want to go?"
"Sounds good, but I'm afraid I won't have time after today's banquet." When I have the time, I will definitely ask Brother Du to go with me.”
Du He pointed at Fang Jun with an expression of 'See, I knew it'.
However, it was naturally clear if he didn't say it in depth.
So Du He didn't say much.
