Chapter 537: Li Mansion Lunch

After Wu Fan took Luo Yang out of the grocery store, they went straight to Li Ziyang's house.

Ever since Li Ziyang recognized the jade pendant of the Seventh Princess, Li Ziyang became extremely enthusiastic towards Wu Fan. He invited Wu Fan to his house many times and even took the initiative to visit Wu Fan at the official post station. Wu Fan couldn't refuse such a generous invitation. Moreover, he also needed to make some connections in the imperial capital. This was his first time in Yanyang City, but it would definitely not be the last time. Making connections here would be very helpful for his future development. Moreover, Wu Fan wanted to open a store in the imperial capital.

Wu Fan was very confident about the things in his store. It was only a matter of time before they sold well. Once his store became famous and profitable, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be targeted by someone. After all, there were many big shots in the imperial capital. If those people wanted to rob his store and he was not here, it would always be good to have someone to help him look after these stores.

Therefore, Wu Fan also wanted to make friends with Li Ziyang. Compared with asking him to come to the official post station, Wu Fan naturally chose to take the initiative to visit him. First, he lowered his posture and was easy to get the other party's favor. Second, Wu Ya was still hiding in his residence. Li Ziyang frequently ran to his place. If he found anything, it would definitely be a trouble. Wu Fan didn't think that with the current relationship between him and Li Ziyang, if the other party found out that he was harboring an assassin, he would choose to help him conceal it.

"Sir Wu, please come in, please come in." Wu Fan lowered his posture, but who knew that Li Ziyang would lower his posture even more.

Wu Fan had just arrived at Li's house when he found that Li Ziyang was waiting at the door. Wu Fan only notified the other party that he would come to visit today, but did not say when he would arrive. Li Ziyang was able to greet him here, so he probably waited for a long time.

"I'm really sorry to bother Sir Li to wait for me here." Wu Fan said.

"Of course, of course. It's a great honor for Lord Wu to come. I've been excited all night and look forward to meeting Lord Wu as soon as possible." Li Ziyang said with a smile as he led Wu Fan into the mansion, "Don't say I've only waited for two hours. I'd be willing to wait for two days or two months. It's my honor."

"Lord Li is so polite. So polite." Wu Fan said.

While talking to Wu Fan, Li Ziyang took Wu Fan on a brief tour of his residence, and then took Wu Fan to the hall, where a banquet had been prepared and they were waiting for Wu Fan to come and eat.

It must be said that Li Ziyang's residence is much larger and more luxurious than Wu Fan's mansion in Qingyuan County. Wu Fan had always thought that his residence in Qingyuan County was very good. Now, the difference is obvious. However, considering that the other party is the chief official of one of the four major yamen of the Ministry of Personnel, he is also a well-known person in the imperial capital. It seems reasonable for him to live in such a house.

"Come, everyone, let me introduce you. This is the viscount personally conferred by His Majesty, Lord Wu Fan!" The hall was not empty. When Wu Fan and Li Ziyang came in, there were already several people sitting inside.

"Meet Lord Wu."

"Lord Wu bravely saved His Majesty in the hall before. He is really a role model for our generation."

"Lord Wu is already a viscount at such a young age. His future is limitless."

When those people saw Wu Fan and Li Ziyang coming in, they stood up quickly. After Li Ziyang introduced Wu Fan, they were even more respectful and polite to Wu Fan.

"Thank you for your praise, I don't deserve it." Wu Fan bowed.

"Come, please take a seat, Lord Wu!" Li Ziyang led Wu Fan to the table and said.

"This... is not appropriate. Lord Li and all the others are of higher rank than me. I should not be the one to sit in this position." Wu Fan said.

"Only Lord Wu can sit in this position today. Lord Wu, please don't be polite." Li Ziyang took Wu Fan to the top seat without saying anything.

The other people not only had no objection to this, but also persuaded Wu Fan to take a seat.

Wu Fan could see that Li Ziyang attached great importance to today's lunch. Not only did he wait at the door early, but he also specially called other officials to accompany him. These officials were obviously very close to Li Ziyang, or were from the same department, and were also very polite to him.

"I am really happy that Lord Wu can come. We must drink to our heart's content today." After everyone took their seats, Li Ziyang prepared to pour wine for Wu Fan himself.

Wu Fan stopped him and said, "Today is my first visit to Lord Li. I didn't bring anything good. I just brought some wine and tea that I brewed myself. I hope Lord Li doesn't think I'm stingy."

"Lord Wu, you just came, why are you so polite?" Li Ziyang took the "Cloud Peak" and refreshing tea handed over by Wu Fan, and said with a reproachful look on his face.

"You can't come empty-handed." Wu Fan smiled.

"Lord Wu, can you also brew wine and make tea?" an official asked.

"I know a little bit." Wu Fan said modestly.

However, everyone thought he was telling the truth. He should know a little bit, or even nothing at all. After all, Wu Fan is a viscount, which is an aristocrat. How can an aristocrat do these things that only subordinates do?

"Well, let's try the wine and tea brewed by Lord Li today." Li Ziyang said.

Then, an official poured a glass for everyone present. As soon as the wine entered the glass, everyone's eyes lit up.

Fragrant!

Very fragrant!

Just by sniffing, everyone smelled the strong aroma of wine, which shocked everyone present and made them look surprised.

You know, the literati of this era also like romance and drinking and writing poems. In the eyes of the literati, it is a kind of elegance. Although the literati may not be as good at drinking as those rough warriors, they basically drink, and they naturally know some ways of tasting wine after drinking more.

They have never smelled this kind of wine before!

"What kind of wine is this?" Li Ziyang picked up the cup and looked at the crystal white wine in the cup like amber, and couldn't help asking Wu Fan.

You know, although there is wine in this time and space, the wine brewed here is generally turbid. Even if some high-end wine is cleaner, it is definitely not as good-looking as the wine Wu Fan brought.

This is the first time Li Ziyang has seen this kind of wine. If it weren't for the strong smell of wine that kept filling his nose, he would even think that he was holding a glass of well water.

"Cloud Summit" Wu Fan said lightly.

Cloud Summit?

The people present tried hard to think about it, but they couldn't remember where they had heard this name before.
