Li Xuan took advantage of the time when everyone was drinking and punching, and ate a whole seven chicken wings, one roasted chicken, and twelve hairy crabs, but he still couldn't bear to put down his chopsticks.

The culinary skills of Xu Guogong's family are truly superb, far surpassing the five-star chefs of later generations, making Li Xuan deeply regret his previous reckless eating and drinking. Only because truly good dishes, such as pork dragon meat and wind feather bird, which are rare delicacies only found in this world, were finally served by servants.

But at this moment, Li Xuan's belly was almost unable to hold up. He could only straighten himself as much as possible, using this method to slightly relieve the pressure on his abdomen, and then slowly stuffed the food into his mouth.

Until his mother Liu's personal maid whispered a few words to him, Li Xuan reluctantly left the banquet. His eyes were filled with regret. For a foodie, missing out on delicious food is a great pain.

At this moment, it was already dark, and the maid carried a lantern and led the way. Li Xuan followed closely behind, while also looking around to observe.

In the grand and elegant garden of Xu Guogong Mansion, many young girls are already playing and walking around. At first glance, it is truly a flock of birds and swallows, with beautiful women like clouds.

Some bold girls even glanced over at him and gave him witty and humorous comments.

However, Li Xuan's attention was quickly drawn back by the words spoken by the maid: "Young master, the person you are going to see this time is a famous scholar from Jiangnan, the second daughter of the current Left Vice Censor Xi Ying, named Xue'er. Her mother, Lady Xi, has been friends with her for decades since she was young. Therefore, Lady also said that Young master, you must not be disrespectful to beautiful women. Otherwise, Young master, you will not be able to get any pocket money from her in the next few years

Left Deputy Imperial Censor——

Li Xuan couldn't help but daydream, thinking to himself, is this the so-called big event planned by the Liu family? Is this a marriage alliance between him and the daughter of the Left Vice Censor?

So, is this action related to the case of the prince's attack and disappearance that his father was involved in? Is the family requesting assistance from this Vice Constitutional?

Immediately he thought of Liu's character, then shook his head and smiled, realizing that he had overthinked it. How could his mother have such a calculation? This person probably just wants to find him a long-term meal ticket with guaranteed income during droughts and floods.

The left deputy censor known to Li Xuan is not only the deputy director of the Imperial Censorate responsible for supervising the officials, but also an extremely powerful scholar.

Here we have to mention Confucianism - not all Confucian scholars in this world are weak and powerless. Some of them have mastered the essence of Confucianism and have achieved great success in it, and they also possess extraordinary power. Their strength is not inferior to that of high-level martial arts and martial arts practitioners, and even stronger.

So many people believe that the so-called Confucianism is actually one of the variations of ancient Qi practitioners.

There are many Confucian scholars who possess extraordinary powers within their Six Dao Departments, and they have always been the main force in suppressing demons.

So this marriage has already been arranged

Li Xuan was a little conflicted. He felt very disgusted with this kind of marriage arranged by his parents and matchmakers. He thought to himself that the marriage must have come to an end, so what should he do? How should I reject this marriage proposal myself?

They don't care about Li Xuan's absurd appearance and don't mind that their family is in trouble now. It's really hard to refuse.

To his relief, the maid shook her head slightly and said, "No, Lady Xi originally agreed. But recently, this lady said that Lord Xi had promised his daughter in her early years to let her choose her own marriage, which is why the mistress arranged for you to meet her

Soon they arrived at a pavilion, and when Li Xuan stepped inside, he saw a figure wearing a water lake colored dress standing beside the pavilion railing. After hearing the sound of the pearl curtain, she also turned around to look at Li Xuan.

This is a girl with an oval face and a slightly plump figure, with delicate and charming facial features. After taking a glance at Li Xuan, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she was surprised by Li Xuan's appearance. But then her gaze became cold, with a hint of sarcasm: "Are you the second son of the Li family

It's Li Xuan! "Li Xuan clasped his fists according to the etiquette of this era," I've seen Miss Xi -

Just as he was about to say something, the girl pointed to the grass outside and said, "Do you recognize what that thing is

Li Xuan glanced over and then frowned, "Toad

It's a toad, "the girl corrected, then coldly smiled." It's this kind of thing that makes me want to eat swan meat every day

Li Xuan's face instantly turned cold: "Miss, this statement is too much? Even if Miss doesn't like Li, there's no need to curse her

Although he had previously felt that he was a bastard second generation ancestor, he had indeed mistreated someone else's girl. But the other party's words also crossed the line.

I'm afraid if I don't say that, some people will still have no face or skin, and will pounce on me like a mangy dog

The girl looked at Li Xuan with a slanted gaze and still spoke in a tough tone: "If you sincerely threaten to repay kindness, then won't you allow me to say it? You're just coming to bully your family because of my mother's thin skin and soft heart. But I, Xi Qiaoyun, am not easy to bully

Li Xuan's teeth bulged, and then he clasped his fists at Miss Xi across from him, saying, "As before, if you're unwilling, there's no need to add insult to injury. Goodbye

Although his chest was filled with anger, couldn't he beat up this little girl for this nonsense? Standing on the opposite side, it is not inappropriate to regard Li Xuan's original identity and the current sincerity mansion as a fire pit.

Just as Li Xuan turned his head and walked out of the pavilion, the girl behind him gave a cold smile and said, "Bad words? Don't even look at what you are now? Your sincerity is bound to fall sooner or later. You, Li Xuan, are only as valuable as gold and jade on the outside. What is it, not a toad

Li Xuan paused for a moment, then lifted the pearl curtain and walked out without any hesitation.

At this moment, Liu's personal maid was still waiting outside, and her face was also ashen. Although this person was outside the pavilion, he clearly heard the movements inside.

Li Xuan could only sigh and say, "You can go and report to your mother now. Although this marriage has been ruined, you can't blame me

I've heard it, maidservants. "The female attendant nodded slightly, but still glared angrily in the direction of the pavilion:" It's great to teach the young master that it wasn't our wife who first brought up this marriage, but two months ago, when the Xi family first invited a matchmaker to come and propose marriage. Where does this debt of gratitude begin? As for the little favor mentioned by a girl inside, it probably refers to the fact that 23 years ago, when Vice Xian's family was in decline and impoverished, I sincerely sponsored a thousand taels of silver by the Bo family to help him enter the Imperial Academy for education. In addition, nine years ago, Lord Xi offended the Prime Minister and was dismissed from office, imprisoned and punished. It was also Lady Xi's own fault. I came to seek help from Madam, and asked Uncle to come forward and help her escape punishment and return to office! At that time, Madam Xi's sincere words were vividly remembered by my servant, who said it was something that could be exchanged for life and death by wearing a ring and tying grass in return -

Her voice was as cold as jade, not particularly high pitched, but it attracted the passing crowd to glance sideways.

Li Xuan was also stunned and looked over. In his original memory, the personal maid named Leng Yurou beside Liu had always looked cold and reserved, and had always been calm and composed. There was hardly anything that could make her lose her composure.

Unexpectedly, today, this woman, who has been jokingly referred to as the Ice Beauty by her original self more than once, would directly speak out against others, and her words were so sharp.
