Chapter 18 Complicity
As soon as the song "Bamboo Horse" was played, the study fell silent for a long time.
Zhu Zhao'er raised her head but saw that she was sitting on a chair with her head tilted, and she had fallen asleep, and suddenly she had a feeling of depression that she had nowhere to find her soulmate, and she was slightly annoyed in her heart, and secretly said that she would never sing to you again in the future.
got up, suddenly smiled gracefully, stretched out her hands a few times, Runqun's skirt fluttered, and a pale cyan lotus bloomed in the study.
Caressing his cheeks, he sighed with self-pity, the flowers are lonely, who knows the courtyard?
walked to the desk, ready to wake up the gentleman and let him go to bed to rest, stretched out his hand but was stunned there, so look at the gentleman is so good-looking, long eyelashes, the bridge of the nose is quite straight, a typical melon seed face...... There are no particularly stunning facial features, but they are put together like this.
Those lips are really in line with his temperament, and the lips of those who are thin are thin.
After looking at it in a daze for a long time, Zhu Zhao'er couldn't bear to wake up Li Fengwu, but unexpectedly, Li Fengwu woke up by himself, and Zhu Zhao'er retracted his hand in a panic.
Li Fengwu yawned, "When?" ”
Zhu Zhao'er returned to the stove, lowered her eyebrows and replied, "When I first arrived." ”
The second day of the ancient sub-hour.
Li Fengwu frowned, "It's a new day again." "I'm a little anxious, why haven't I heard any news yet, it stands to reason that I should have dispersed at this moment.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and a soap-clothed servant knocked on the door and came in, "The big official is back, and he is in the sedan hall at the moment." ”
Li Fengwu waved his hand to signal him to step back first, got up and said to Zhu Zhao'er, "You go back and rest." ”
Dressed in a big coat, he got up and walked into the night.
Zhu Zhao'er was contemplating in the room, in recent days, the two fathers and sons and the three ladies of the Li family have always been worried, and Li Fengwu is even more energetic in reading, is something big going to happen to the Li family.
The sedan hall was bustling with people, and several servants surrounded his father, Li Fengwu walked over quickly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The servant automatically got out of the way, Li Laosan was leaning on the wall and vomiting, Li Fengwu immediately said to the servant: "Let the kitchen prepare some ginger soup." The mother, Erniang and Sanniang, who rushed to hear the news, helped Li Laosan into the hall and sat down.
After a while, the servant brought the ginger soup that had been prepared in the kitchen, Li Laosan drank a few sips, and finally relieved himself, and after being stunned, he suddenly became angry, picked up the porcelain bowl and smashed it, and the male duck's voice was deafening, "It's too much to deceive, too much to deceive!" ”
Zhang Yousu waved his hand to signal the servants to retreat, and only when there were only the five members of the Li family and Li Bo in the hall, he asked, "Official, what's the matter?" ”
Li Laosan sat down in the chair and stared at the thriving stove for a long time before he said, "It's okay, don't worry, madam, I'm on top of it when the sky falls." ”
Several ladies burst into tears when they heard this, this is why the three ladies of the Li family can be harmonious, no matter how big the difficulty, Li Laosan will not let the three ladies suffer a little.
Li Fengwu also comforted him: "Sanniang, don't worry too much, the sky can't fall." ”
Li Bo served sobering tea at the right time, Li Laosan drank a few sips, regained his composure, and said to Ye Hui and the others: "Madies, go back and rest, I'll talk to Da Lang for a while." ”
The male protagonist and the female protagonist are inside, Ye Hui and the others are not good at saying anything, and they go back to their rooms worriedly.
Li Fengwu then asked, "What's going on?" ”
It stands to reason that Zhu Wenxiu will not be too strong when he first arrives, there is a way that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although his father Li Laosan is not as good as the official of Dongguo in Jiankang, but he is also a figure with a head and face in Jiankang City, no matter how stupid Zhu Wenxiu is, it is impossible to embarrass his father at the reception banquet.
Li Laosan did not answer his son's question, but said calmly: "You Laozi and I have experienced a lot of winds and waves, some small things, Fengwu, don't worry about it, but you have been studying recently, how is it?" ”
Li Fengwu warmed his heart for a while, his father didn't say that it didn't mean that it was okay, but he didn't want to worry about himself, so he barely squeezed out a smile, "Fortunately, I guess I can get a jinshi in the big exam the year after tomorrow." ”
It's not that Li Fengwu is arrogant, but these days I have found that I really have the ability to remember when I read a book, a book of about 10,000 words, I can write down four or five percent after reading it, and I can write down two or three percent in a few days, if I can review it from time to time, it only takes a few days to memorize it.
With this ability, in the period of filial piety when talents are withering, it is not easy to participate in the scientific examination and win the Jinshi?
Li Laosan nodded, he didn't care too much, thinking that it was just his son's young and frivolous overconfidence, how could Jinshi be so good, who didn't know that in this dynasty, as long as the ability and relationship are not too bad, he can become a member of the dynasty for one or two decades.
Halfway through the child's time, although there was a heater, Li Laosan still felt cold, tightened his cotton clothes, and said to Li Fengwu: "If my old Li family can survive these two years, after you inherit the family business, you must beware of Guo Bald in the east of the city, I can see it, this guy also wants to put his hand in." ”
Li Fengwu gasped when he heard this.
Guo Bald in the east of the city is naturally Guo Jin, the richest man in Jiankang, this guy is not an ordinary person, it is rumored that Guo Jin is the mother of the Guo family of Queen Chengmu who has died in the world, and he is the cousin of Queen Chengmu, and his parents are members of the Guo family. The Guo family was originally in Lin'an, but after Guo Jin got the rich talisman of the salt and iron merchants, he came to Jiankang to settle down and became a Guo official on the rich side.
The princes of Xiaozong, including Zhao Zhen, who has not yet become the prince of Zhuangwen, and Zhao Dan, the future Guangzong, are all from Empress Chengmu, and the Guo family is simply expensive in this dynasty.
There was Jiankang Tongju in the front, Zhu Wenxiu, the prefect of Jiankang, and Guo Jin, a relative of the emperor, the Li family is about to exhaust the rhythm, is Lao Tzu's career about to end before it begins?
Li Fengwu sat down on the chair dejectedly, the pressure was great, even if he was a Jinshi, his life would not be easy.
Li Laosan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't plan to hide it from his son, and said: "Actually, Guo Bald is rich and healthy, and he is not worried about our old Li family's family property, I heard Wu Lao Er say that at the banquet where the old lady of the Guo family died half a month ago, Guo Bald said that there are no grapes that he can't eat, and he is bound to board Zhu Zhao'er's hibiscus tent." ”
In fact, with his financial resources, he could buy Zuile Fang in minutes, but he didn't put it into practice because the old man of the Guo family in Lin'an was pressed, and the old lady of the Guo family died half a month ago, and Guo Jin was no longer afraid.
Filial piety, even with the Guo family.
Li Fengwu sneered a few times, "That can't make him satisfied." ”
Li Laosan chatted with his son for another half an hour, and then got up and said, "I have to go and rest, so that your mother and them don't worry." ”
Seeing his father return to the East Courtyard, Li Fengwu also wanted to return to the West Courtyard, and Li Bo, who had been serving in the hall, suddenly said loudly: "Brother Wu, the big official vomited as soon as he left Qingxiang Building. ”
Isn't it unusual to vomit while drunk?
But Li Bo quickly added: "Blood, the big officials vomited blood when they came out of Qingxiang Building, don't take it to heart when you say a word, Brother Wu'er, when I was waiting outside, I heard someone in the hall barking at a dog, and the sound was...... It's ......"
After all, Li Bo was reluctant to say the word "big official".
Li Fengwu froze in place.
Li Laosan, you idiot, even you have to hide this from me, is you the only man in this old Li family, you can afford the Li family, and I, Li Fengwu, can't support it?
At such a dinner, who can force his father to grovel and bark at everyone and vomit blood when he hugs him, except for the new Jiankang prefect Zhu Wenxiu and the emperor's relative Guo Jin, who else can do it, no matter which dynasty is more powerful than wealth.
Zhu Wenxiu, Guo Jin, you guys are really good!
Li Fengwu's heart is as cold as ice, this cold winter is really surprisingly cold.
