Li Xiu personally sent Xiao Yu out, and there were many officials who came to visit outside the palace gate at this time, and when they saw Li Xiu go out in person, the people around him were also taken aback, and soon when someone recognized that it was Xiao Yu who was sent out, many people were even more surprised, because they had heard that Xiao Yu and Li Xiu had a discord due to the attack on Buddhism, but now seeing that the two of them are talking and laughing, it really does not match the rumors.

"Please go back, the old man has to go to the academy, so I will leave!" Xiao Yu bowed his hand to Li Xiu at this time, and his coachman also drove the carriage over at this time, and the officials who came to visit around him were also quite knowledgeable, and did not come forward to disturb him.

"Gong Xiao go slowly, let's talk about it in detail later!" Li Xiu also returned the salute at this time, and then personally helped the other party to get into the car, after all, Xiao Yu's age is not young, although the old man is in good spirits, but his body is far inferior to that of a young man, and it is a big deal to bump into it.

"Huh?" However, just as Xiao Yu was about to get into the car, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes also looked at the crowd next to him, as if he had seen some acquaintance, which made Li Xiu also look curiously, and saw a dignified middle-aged man in the crowd at a glance.

If it's just this middle-aged man, it's nothing, but there is a child standing next to this middle-aged man, probably less than ten years old, but his long lips are red and his teeth are white, and he is very handsome, especially those eyes are extremely bright, and he knows that he is an extremely smart child at a glance.

"Zhixun, you're here too?" Xiao Yu also showed a rare bright smile when he saw the middle-aged man and said, it seems that this middle-aged man should be his close junior, after all, with Xiao Yu's character, he rarely shows such a kind expression to people.

The middle-aged man may have been embarrassed to step forward at first, but now that he saw Xiao Yu taking the initiative to greet him, he took the children around him to come forward and salute: "Zhixun to meet Uncle Xiao!" ”

"No need to be polite, is your father's health okay?" Xiao Yu was also very happy at this time, and asked about the other party's father in the first sentence, which also confirmed Li Xiu's guess.

"My father's health is fine, but he had an illness this summer, but fortunately it is not serious, and now he has been nursing in his hometown in Taiyuan." I saw that the middle-aged man replied again, with a humble smile on his face, but the child beside him kept looking at Li Xiu, and it was estimated that he also knew Li Xiu's identity.

Xiao Yu still wanted to ask about his old friend's situation, but at this time, he suddenly patted his head, and apologized to Li Xiu at the moment: "Forgive me, I'm old and confused, this is my old friend's son, surnamed Di Zhixun, his father Di Xiaoxu, who used to serve as Shangshu Zuocheng, resigned and returned to his hometown due to illness two years ago. ”

"Meet the Duke of the Kingdom at Lower Dickson!" Di Zhixun also took the opportunity to salute Li Xiu at this time, he originally came to visit Li Xiu's mansion, but he didn't expect to meet his father's old friend Xiao Yu here, and he didn't expect Xiao Yu to help introduce him, so he was also secretly happy at this time, after all, not everyone is qualified to talk to Li Xiu.

"It turns out that Ling Zun is Di Zuocheng, and Di Zuocheng and I are also old acquaintances, so you don't have to be polite!" Li Xiu also said with a smile at this time, Di Xiaoxu he knew, but he didn't have any friendship, and the other party was old, and he resigned two years ago and returned to his hometown, if it wasn't for Xiao Yu to mention it, Li Xiu would almost not remember this person.

"Zhixun, where are you working now, is this your son next to you?" Xiao Yu asked Di Zhixun again at this time, he and Di Xiaoxu hadn't seen each other for a few years, and Di Zhixun seemed to have been working outside, so he didn't know much about Di Zhixun's situation.

"Uncle Qiyu, I am now in Zhengzhou as a soldier to join the army, and Zheng Wangfu soldier Cao is in the army, and this one next to me is my son." When Di Zhixun said this, he also turned his head to the boy next to him who was looking at Li Xiu and said, "Renjie, come and meet Song Guogong!" ”

"Di Renjie meets Song Guogong and Yan Guogong!" Hearing his father's words, the boy immediately stepped forward, first saluted Xiao Yu, and then saluted Li Xiu, although he was young, he was well-mannered, and Li Xiu did not have the slightest timidity when he was two, which is also very rare for a child.

"Di Renjie?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the name of this child, and then he reacted, and he was also taken aback at the moment, he never expected that the child in front of him was the famous Di Renjie in history!

"No need to be polite!" When Li Xiu reacted, he hurriedly spoke, and then carefully looked at Di Renjie when he was a child, only to see that the other party looked very similar to Di Zhixun, and it is estimated that he will also be a handsome man in the future, especially his eyes, which are bright and smart, with Li Xiu's many years of experience in educating children, such children are generally extremely smart, such as Wu Mingkong and Qi Niang, Li Chengdao and others have the same pair of eyes.

Xiao Yu also noticed Li Xiu's abnormality at this time, and glanced at him strangely at the moment, and then kindly asked about Di Renjie's reading, after all, he is a learned Confucian, and now he is in charge of Zhongnan Academy, so he is also most concerned about the child's reading situation, and finally even encouraged Di Renjie a few words, let him study hard, and go to Zhongnan Academy to study in the future.

Xiao Yu did have something, so after helping Li Xiu and Di Zhixun introduce him, he chatted a few words and left, Li Xiu and Di Zhixun personally sent him to the carriage, and then watched the carriage leave, and at this time Li Xiu invited Di Zhixun with a smile: "Di joins the army, I don't know if I can go to the house?" ”

"Huh?" Di Zhixun didn't expect Li Xiu to take the initiative to invite him into the mansion, after all, Xiao Yu just helped him introduce him, originally he just thought that it would be enough to be able to say a few words to Li Xiu, but he didn't expect Li Xiu to be so enthusiastic, but he quickly reacted, and even thought that Li Xiu was looking at Xiao Yu's face, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you, the lower officials can't ask for it!" ”

At that moment, Li Xiu invited Di Zhixun's father and son into the mansion, and the people around him also showed envious expressions one by one, but it was useless to envy this kind of thing, after all, Di Zhixun was originally a high-ranking official, even if his father left the court, but the connections were still there, after all, Xiao Yu is not a character that anyone can climb high.

Li Xiu was also very enthusiastic about Didicon and his son, and specially invited them into his reception hall, and then asked someone to bring new tea, and then chatted with Didicon and his son.

At first, Di Zhixun thought that Li Xiu invited him in for Xiao Yu's sake, but after chatting a few words, he found that Li Xiu's interest in his son was far greater than his interest in himself, for example, Li Xiu not only asked about Di Renjie's study, but also asked about his usual hobbies and even his living situation, which made Di Zhixun also very surprised.

Li Xiu's attention at this time was also on Di Renjie, and after questioning him, he learned that Di Renjie was only eight years old this year, but his personality was very stable, and he was not stage frightened at all, and he chatted very happily with Li Xiu about questions and answers.

"Guogong, I heard others say that you are the smartest person in the world, and no kind of problem will be difficult for you, so can I ask you a question?" After answering some of Li Xiu's questions, Di Renjie suddenly took the initiative to say at this time.

"Oh? What questions do you want to ask? Li Xiu couldn't help but smile with interest when he heard this, smart children generally like to think, and there are often some strange thoughts in their heads, Li Xiu also wants to know what Di Renjie was thinking about when he was a child?

"During this time, I was reading "Liezi", and I happened to see the chapter of the two children arguing about the sun, so I want to ask Guogong, I don't know if you think the sun is close to us in the morning or near us at noon?" Di Renjie asked Li Xiu with his little brain crooked at this time.

"Nonsense, this kind of question can't even be answered by Confucius, how can you use this kind of question to embarrass the country!" As soon as Di Renjie's words fell, Di Zhixun next to him immediately reprimanded, and even glanced at Li Xiu nervously, for fear that he would be angry because of this, after all, Di Renjie's question is too embarrassing, I am afraid that this question cannot be answered at all in this world.

"Haha~ Don't scare Renjie when Di joins the army, in fact, he can take this problem into account, which also proves that he really read the book, and I can really answer this question!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing at this time, and stopped Di Zhixun Dao, if spade Renjie asked him some questions in Confucianism, he would probably not be able to answer them, but for this kind of astronomical and geographical questions, I am afraid that no one in the entire Tang Dynasty can compare with him.

"Can Guogong really help me solve my doubts?" Di Renjie was not affected by his father, and at this time he also shouted in surprise, he was already at the age when he was most eager to learn, and there were countless questions in his little brain, most of which could not be answered from books, and he wanted to ask his father and husband, but they reprimanded him for being cranky, which made him usually quite depressed.

"Of course, this kind of question is actually not difficult, if you want to know, I can also tell you how big the earth is that we live in, where is the end of the ocean, what is on the moon, what the sun looks like, but I have one condition, I wonder if you are willing to agree?" When Li Xiu said the end, he couldn't help but show a smiling expression, his old mistake was made again.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Di Zhixun next to him had vaguely guessed what Li Xiu meant, but he couldn't believe it, his eyes widened at the moment, and his breathing became short, but Di Renjie was still very naïve and asked: "As your identity as the Duke of the Kingdom, do you still need me to agree to your conditions?" ”

"Haha~, it can't be said to be a condition, but I think you're smart, so I want to ask you, would you like to be my student?" Li Xiu also laughed again and asked, for a character like Di Renjie, he also loved talent again.
