Liu Ertiao and Luo Binwang are not in the mansion. The provincial examination period is approaching. Now Liu Ertiao has handed over his full power to his mentor. Wang Zhihong stays in the Mansion of the Minister of Rites every day, listening to his mentor's teachings. If he is lucky, he can even hear Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites' personal guidance.

Wang Gui was a great scholar, and Wang Zhihong was also a Jinshi. His talent and learning were not within reach of ordinary people. There was a rare opportunity. Therefore, Luo Binwang also followed Liu Ertiao with shamelessness and took the opportunity to learn more. However, Wang Gui and his son saw that this kid were smart and studious, and knew etiquette and knowledgeable about teaching, so he did not shy away from him when teaching Liu Ertiao.

"That's the case, then there's no need to disturb them anymore." After hearing Liu Wuchen's report, Liu Yiwei waved his hand. It was their blessing to have a rare master and professor.

"Well, although that old man Wang Gui is a bit old-fashioned, his knowledge is famous in Chang'an City. Wang Zhihong is also good. When he was the county magistrate in Sanyuan, the old man in our family praised him a lot. Erzhao and Aman could be taught by him, and the province will be considered a bird in a few days." Gongsun Helan sat down beside Liu Yi without hesitation and said to Liu Yi Yi loudly.

"My brother, well, that's right," a drop of cold sweat flowed across Liu Yi's forehead. Gongsun Helan's words were still so bold.

"Okay, brother, since Erzhao and Aman are not here, let's not be here. Although the 'Qiubo Chamber of Commerce' has not opened yet, there should be a lot of people there. I think it's already lively at this moment. Let's go now." Before my butt was hot, Gongsun Helan stood up again, hugged Liu Yi's shoulder, and said, "And before this, I want to go to the shower and comb and change into beautiful clothes. I heard that many ladies will attend tonight. Maybe my Princess Yuzhang will also be there. I must show my most handsome and graceful side."

"Well, that, brother," Liu Yi looked at Gongsun Helan's red and swollen face with a little unbearable feeling, and said against his will: "Actually, my brother's dress is already very outstanding now, and there is no need to make any other decorations. For those bathing and changing clothes, let's forget it."

"Brother's words are good," Gongsun Helan touched his face beautifully and said, "Although I am already perfect now, it is not my most perfect state. I must fully show my most perfect and elegant side to my Princess Yuzhang. Let's go, take a shower, it won't take much time."

As he said that, Gongsun Helan hugged Liu Yi and said hello to Liu Wuchen, and then left the gate of Liu Mansion.

Gongsun Mansion, because of the matter of organizing the "Qiubo Chamber of Commerce", Gongsun Wuda, the left-level general, was also very busy, arranging troops to protect Chang'an and the security of the palace. He often was not in the mansion these days.

Under the service of several little maids, Gongsun Helan finally finished bathing and dressing, and showed what he thought was the most perfect side in front of Liu Yi.

He wore a scholar's hat, a scholar's uniform, and a long black leather boot. Yes, and the very eye-catching and conspicuous jade fracture fan in his hand.

It's a perfect suit, but how it feels so weird when worn on Gongsun Helan.

Yes, it was strange. Liu Yi walked around Gongsun Helan twice. Apart from this word, he really couldn't find any other words to describe it.

The scholar's hat is very good, but Gongsun Helan always takes it wrongly.

The literati uniform is very stylish, but he cannot take advantage of Gongsun Helan's slight elegance.

The black leather boots were very imposing, but they were completely covered by the hem of the scholar's uniform. They walked in the brocade clothes at night without anyone noticing.

The most important thing is the jade fracture fan, with white jade as the base and silk as the face, which is very noble, gorgeous and elegant. But when it comes to Gongsun Helan's hands, it seems like it has become a dagger that can be stabbed at any time, and it looks like a murder weapon.

"How is it, brother?" Gongsun Helan thought she was very casual and shook the folding fan, and asked Liu Yi gently on her chest, "Is this much better than the previous samurai suit?"

"Uh, that's OK, but Brother Wei still prefers you when you wear a warrior uniform." Looking at Gongsun Helan's stinky look, Liu Yi really didn't want to say anything too striking. Since he was so happy, let him go.

The venue of the 'Qiubo Chamber of Commerce' is on the western edge of Chang'an City. It is a vast street covering an area of ​​about 3,000 acres. It was funded by the court and specially transformed for the once-in-a-decade "Qiubo Chamber of Commerce". When Liu Yi and Gongsun Helan arrived in a carriage, it was already crowded with men, women, young and old. Liu Yi even saw a few yellow-haired white people in the crowd.

"Brother, follow me," after getting off the carriage, Gongsun Helan greeted Liu Yiyi, then pulled Liu Yiyi through the crowd, turned east and west, and came to a very grand and luxurious restaurant.

Lanyuelou, three large regular characters, are very elegant, and they should have been written by some famous artist.

Liu Yi looked up and saw that the entire restaurant had five floors, which was octagonal, covering an area of ​​about ten acres, which was as high as fifteen or sixteen meters. It was the only one that Liu Yi saw since he came to the Tang Dynasty. Such a tall wooden pavilion was so grand, but Liu Yi very doubted its safety.

"Lanyue Tower, the plaque that the emperor wrote in person has just been built less than a month ago. It will be officially opened tonight. It's so grand." Looking at the decoration of lights and lights on the Lanyue Tower, Gongsun Helan spoke to Liu Yi: "However, if there is no invitation from the Chamber of Commerce tonight, no one can get in."

As he said that, Gongsun Helan pointed to Liu Yiuan and pointed at the waiter dressed up by the waiter guarding the door of Lanyue Tower and said, "These servants in the store tonight are all formal and elegant palace guards. There are also a large number of soldiers guarding the Lanyue Tower in secret, and ordinary people can't get in at all."

Liu Yi's eyes glanced at Gongsun Helan's fingers and found that the waiters in the store were really different. They had steady steps, flexible bodies, and sharp eyes. When they received guests entering the restaurant, they were searching for something in their eyes.

It's just a chamber of commerce, is it so exaggerated?

"Brother doesn't know yet," Seeing that Liu Yi's face showed a little surprise, Gongsun Helan said, "Tonight, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to meet these foreign merchants in person. A large part of these people are here to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oh, no wonder." Liu Yi nodded lightly in a sudden light, and the prince came in person, and it was obvious that Li Shimin really attached enough importance to this chamber of commerce.

"Okay, let's go in." Seeing the waiter guarding the door sweeping around them with suspicious eyes, Liu Yi chuckled and pulled Gongsun Helan over.

"Young Master Gongsun, this...?" Before he reached the door, a man dressed up came first, bent over and urged Gongsun Helan, and looked at Gongsun Helan and Liu Yi with some embarrassment. It seemed that he knew that Gongsun Mansion had no invitations.

"Oh, it's Uncle Yan," Gongsun Helan rushed over and said, "I know the rules here, so it's not difficult for Uncle Yan. Well, I'll introduce Uncle Yan. This one is my elder brother, Liu Yiu, who was invited to join this year's 'Autumn Bo Chamber of Commerce'. Tonight I will accompany my elder brother to attend this banquet. If I remember well, an invitation would seem to bring three people in?"

"Uncle Yan," Liu Yiuan also called out with Gongsun Helan, reached into his arms with a calm expression, took out a golden post and handed it to Wu Yan, and said, "This is my invitation, please take a look at it."

"It turns out it's Mr. Liu. Wu Yan is polite here," Suiyan swept the post in Liu Yi's hand, but did not take it. Wu Yan smiled and said to Liu Yi: "Since Mr. Liu is here, it's okay to have an invitation or not. Mr. Liu and Mr. Gongsun, please come with Wu."

"The important guests are all on the fifth floor, and you can enter and exit freely with golden invitations. Mr. Liu and Young Master Gongsun invite you to help you, and Wu Yan also has to receive other distinguished guests." He led the two people to the middle of the restaurant, and Wu Yan attacked Liu Yi and Gongsun Helan, and then returned to the door of the restaurant.

"This Wu Yan is really more and more adept at being a human being." After glanced at Wu Yan, Gongsun Helan chuckled and said to Liu Yiuan: "Brother Yang put him at the door, but he would do his best."

"What? My brother is very familiar with him?" Liu Yi looked at Gongsun Helan unexpectedly, and rarely heard Gongsun Helan praise him like this.

"He is Brother Yang's right-hand man. I have fought with him several times. His martial arts skills are good." Gongsun Helan looked around in the hall for a long time, but did not find the person he was looking for, so she pulled Liu Yiu to the second floor again.

It's not too late yet, and it's still early to the banquet. There are not many people in Lanyue Tower, so soon, Liu Yiu led the somewhat listless Gongsun Helan to the top floor.

"Brother Liu!" As soon as he walked in, Liu Yi heard a cheerful shout. A 14 or 15-year-old boy trotted from inside and came up. He hugged Liu Yi's arm and shouted excitedly: "Brother Liu, it's really you! That's great, where is Wuhen? Did you ride Wuhen?"

Ren You and Liu recognized it one by one, the entangled boy who insisted on buying Liu Wuhen during the day.

"Xiao You! Don't be rude!" A clear voice came from behind Ren You. Ren Gu smiled at Liu Yi with apologies, and at the same time greeted Liu Yi. When he looked at Liu Yi, there was a little more surprise in his eyes. I wonder why Liu Yi could enter this fifth floor.

"It's okay, Mr. Ren is true, Mrs. Ren doesn't have to do this." Liu Yi smiled and nodded at Ren Gu, then patted the next Ren You's little head and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I came here in a carriage this time, and Wuhen is now at home. But if you have time later, I don't mind you going to my house to sit."

As he said that, Liu Yi sat down casually, Ren You pressed against him. Gongsun Helan ignored the people on the fifth floor and sat alone beside Liu Yi and drank a slutty wine. Liu Yi chuckled helplessly, knowing that Gongsun Helan, the kid, has always looked down on these merchants.

"Young Master Liu's family is in Chang'an?" Ren Gu asked softly when she heard the kindness in Liu Yi's words.

"Well, there is a house, but it won't last long," Liu Yiuan took a sip after taking the tea handed over by the waiter, and said, "My hometown is in Sanyuan, and everyone in his family is there. If Ren Fu and Mr. Ren have time, welcome to visit."

Liu Yi didn't hate Ren You and his mother and son.

"Thank you for your kindness. If you have the chance in the future, the little woman will definitely take the child to visit you." Ren Gu said politely, then pretended to be careless and asked Liu Yi: "Looking at the young and promising young master Liu, I don't know what kind of business he is doing?"

He was qualified to enter the fifth floor and had never heard of a big friend named Liu before, so Ren Gu naturally wanted to find out the details of Liu Yi.

"Oh, I used to be a farmer, and I had hundreds of hectares of land at home, so my life was quite acceptable." Liu Yi said the truth, but obviously, Ren Gu did not believe it. He was afraid that he would not even have the qualifications to enter Lanyue Tower, let alone get a gold stamp and enter the fifth floor. However, although he didn't believe it, Ren Gu didn't say much. He had been in the shopping mall for more than ten years and knew what it was.

"Mr. Liu! Oh, and Young Master Gongsun, Boss Ren! I don't expect that it has been so early. Sang is polite here." As soon as the door opened, Sang Zi, the president of the Dahong Chamber of Commerce, came in from outside with a smile. Seeing Liu Yi and Ren Gu, he hurriedly came up to greet him with a smile.

Behind him, a girl in plain clothes and delicate face followed. When she saw this girl, whether it was Liu Yi, Gongsun Helan, or Ren You, her eyes couldn't help but lit up.
