Chapter 303: The head of the Tan family
The old man looked at Li Luo and asked a little urgently, "What books does the son read and write on weekdays?" ”
"Well, I read a lot of books, and I read everything." Li Luo thought about it for a while, and replied helplessly.
"Moral endowment, peace of mind, and etiquette, self-remembering, old learning, the world's classics, have these scholars read it?"
Li Luo smiled and nodded slightly, these books were taught by Mr. Xixi when Li Luo was young.
The old man let out a sigh of relief, looked at Li Luo a little more pleasing to the eye, stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, good, can you read these books if you don't read these, what else do you read?" “
"This," Li Luo was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "I have also read the records of water conservancy laws, mountains and rivers, feng shui xingxue, five different aspirations, peace and national policies, and marching strategies......"
Before Li Luo could continue, he saw the old man's face surprised, smiled lightly, and stopped speaking: "That's almost it." ”
The old man was stunned, took a long breath, and continued: "Childe, the books you read are indeed messy, and there are a few old men who have only heard of them, but have never read them. ”
Li Luo's expression was as usual, but he was colorless, and he replied lightly when he heard the words.
The old man shook his head, quite hating each other, and pulled Li Luo's arm and said, "Old man He Yanchin, dare to ask the name of the son?" ”
Li Luo responded with a smile: "My surname is Li, and I have two characters in Xuanlou." ”
"Xuanlou, Xuanlou." He Yan read it twice, slapped his palms and said: "It is a little similar to the old man's name, there is fate, there is fate." ”
After that, he talked to Li Luo about the poems and sentences in the book, as if there was no one, a few people around him were not surprised, ignoring Li Luo and He Yanqi, and drinking tea freely.
Half an hour later, when the weather was a little cooler, everyone got up and prepared to hurry.
Li Luo said goodbye and was about to leave, He Yanjaw was a little reluctant, it was rare to meet a person with such a similar character as himself, he was very sorry, and said loudly: "Li Gongzi, it's better to go with us." ”
Li Luo paused slightly, and Han Liang, a middle-aged man who was traveling with He Yanchin, said in a low voice: "Mr. He, this is not appropriate, the lord and the lady don't know whether they agree or not." ”
He Yan waved his sleeves and shouted: "What's wrong with this, a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, Mrs. and the old man went to say." ”
The middle-aged man glanced at Li Luo, looked at Li Luo's beautiful face, thought about it, and no longer insisted, and said with a smile: "He Lao, then let him take a car with you?" ”
He Yanchin nodded, raised his hand and beckoned Li Luo and said, "Master Li, come here, ride with the old man, it is inconvenient for you to walk alone." ”
Li Luo thanked him and was about to excuse himself, when Han Liang next to him smiled and said: "It's rare to have a temper that suits Old He, and in a few states you will go to the border of Quanzhou, where it is not very peaceful, and it is better for the prince to go with us." ”
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked down at the horses that fell to the ground again, Mu Ran smiled, bowed, and said, "Xuanlou thanked you for your kindness." ”
He Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned: "Gongzi Li, come over here." ”
Li Luo took off the bag on the horse's body and walked over, this thin horse, Li Luo gave it to Han Liang, added it to the team of mules and horses, and could also carry some belongings, and there were still a few good horsemen among the crowd, I was not afraid that it would be so lazy.
He Yanqi has a lot of status among these people, and he has his own caravan, although it is very simple, but it is better than some of the rest of the people.
Li Luo is just a burden with him, and he doesn't occupy much space, after getting in the car, He Yanqi pulled Li Luo to discuss some knowledge, Li Luo was not pretentious, and answered one by one, and his insights were quite unique.
He Yanzhen was very happy, and he was a confidant, but he was old, and after talking to Li Luo for a long time, he was a little sleepy, and he couldn't hold on, so he offended, and lay down in the caravan and rested for a while.
Li Luo got out of the canopy curtain, sat on the wheel with the guy who was driving the car, chatted a few words, took out the medical book by himself, and began to study.
Everyone thought that Li Luo was studying hard to prepare for the exam after arriving in Zhuocheng, and they all smiled, although they despised the pedantic attitude of the two, but Li Luo seemed to study so hard, but no one spoke disrespectfully and mocked him.
It was getting late, the convoy entered the town, found an inn to stay, and the warrior of the courtyard saw that He Yanjaw had attracted a strange man, and he was quite unhappy, but seeing that Li Luo was just a scholar, he said a few words strictly, and endured He Yanjaw's face, so he didn't say anything.
At dinnertime, He Yanqian introduced Li Luo to the owner's wife, and he was very respectful in his words.
Li Luo knew from He Yan's words that he was the west seat of the Tan family in Xing'an Mansion, Quanzhou, the Tan family was quite wealthy, he was in business in his early years, and there were several local government officials in the family, and he was a small clan in Xing'an Mansion.
The head of the family, Tan Xiangru, is nearly fifty years old, with two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son used some means in the family in the early years to be an official in Zhuozhou, and it is said that the official position is not small.
A daughter has already married in a foreign country, and now Quanzhou lives with the youngest son, the youngest son inherits the ancestral business, marries the Yan family, a woman from the neighboring prefecture and county, and has a son, who has just turned ten years old, is very naughty, and He Yanjaw is also very headache.
Fortunately, this kid is still afraid of He Yanjaw, if He Yanjaw is angry, he can control him.
This time he left his hometown, it was the eldest son who defected to Zhuozhou, but He Yanjaw didn't know what the reason was.
Tan Xiangru's wife Xie saw He Yanzhen leading others to accompany her, she was a little displeased, Tan Xiangru did not have a different color, she was very polite to Li Luo, and chatted with Li Luo, Li Luo was neither humble nor arrogant, polite, and had a bookish atmosphere.
Tan Xiangru already valued scholars, and was even more pleased to see Li Luo like this, Xie gradually put his mind at ease, and saw Li Luo's half-sideburns and white hair, thinking that Li Luo was studying hard in the cold window, and he ended up in such a field, and he felt a little pity, not like the indifference when he first saw Li Luo.
Tan Qi, the son of Tan Xiangru in the same seat, accompanied him, was also quite polite to Li Luo, never arrogant, and had a very strict family style, but he didn't see his wife Yan and his young son, so it was inconvenient to show up and rest early.
Speechless all night. Three days later, Li Luo went to Gongzhou with the Tan family, and after Gongzhou, he arrived in Zhuozhou.
During the day, Li Luo either talked with He Yanqian about books and Taoism, or he studied medical books hard, it was rare to be idle, Tan Xiangru ordered someone to send some daily things to the two, which were very exquisite, Li Luo resigned again and again, and in the end, He Yanjaw was the master to accept it, and received Tan Xiangru's good intentions.
The carriage and horses marched into the border of Quanzhou, and then a few days can enter the territory of Gongzhou, the nursing hospital seemed to be nervous, the car in front of the car and the car ran from time to time, ordering everyone to hurry up, if not, not allowed to stop and rest, all see the solemn meaning.
