Chapter 241 - 117: I am Li Guanyi from Jiangzhou!
Gongsun Meng saw Li Zhaowen’s lips curve into a smile and leaned forward to take a look.
She saw a group of young men with military merit facing off against a group of noble sons from civil servant families. She was confused for a moment before Li Zhaowen, with a smile, said, "It seems I’ll have to stay a while longer today. I’ve seen this gentleman before at the Taoist Temple east of the city. I’ve been busy visiting people everywhere for several days and haven’t seen him again."
"I didn’t expect to see him here."
"I didn’t expect that this gentleman, who doesn’t wear jade, comes from no mean background."
"Miss Meng truly has unparalleled charm."
Gongsun Meng was surprised; she blinked and caught sight of the most distinctive among the group of young men with military merit. He was clad in a crimson robe with a round collar, his waist circled by a white jade belt, exuding an air of both valor and nobility. At this moment, the young men of military merit and the sons of civil servant families were getting heated with each other.
Yan Daiqing, with a few words, infuriated Zhou Liuying, who was gnashing his teeth but couldn’t utter a word. He looked towards Li Guanyi and said in a mocking tone, "Why isn’t the esteemed military advisor speaking?"
Li Guanyi was slowly sipping the fine wine here.
At his age during this era, he was permitted to drink, and the wine was a rich yellow wine, mellow in taste and not very strong. Just as Li Guanyi was realizing that sitting down to drink here required fifty taels of silver, he couldn’t help but feel that the owner behind this establishment was truly a profiteer.
Fifty taels!
He was no longer in poverty at this moment, but his mindset was still that of his past eleven years.
