Chapter 16: The Young Man of the Li Family

"Hello uncle, good aunt!" Shi said vaguely, his mouth was full of rice, and he didn't even raise his eyes, just holding the bowl of braised elbow in front of him.

He didn't like this uncle since he was a child, and he always felt that his uncle didn't seem to be a good person, and he looked down on his father even more for his flattering appearance.

Li Chengyi was willing to be close to him, but the stone always rejected him thousands of miles away.

Ignoring his uncle, when Shi was the friendliest to his uncle, sometimes he would insinuate and sarcastically mock his uncle, and if his uncle still pretended to be stupid and stunned, and hid a knife in his smile, he simply counted him down with a single knife.

"Put down your chopsticks!" Li Shanchang suddenly slapped the table, and the wine in the bottle jumped out to show the master's obscenity, and the chopsticks and dishes that were a foot away from it writhed their bodies to be outdone.

Li Chengyi and his wife looked at each other. Mrs. Li was anxious and racked her brains to think about how to appease her husband's emotions.

Stone didn't know why his father was so angry, but he wasn't worried. His mother was always his best shield, and his father's sword could not hurt him.

He put down his chopsticks unhurriedly and waited for his mother to come and relieve him.

"Oh, what are you doing with such a big fire? Don't let sincerity and younger siblings see jokes! "Mrs. Li was unsurprisingly helpful.

"Look at what he is dressed up in, our family is still afraid of others watching jokes?" Li Shanchang turned his head and couldn't bear to look directly at the stone.

Stone panicked: Oops! Worst! Just now, I was joking with the red leaves and green willows, and I forgot to change out of the women's clothes. It doesn't matter if there are no guests, at most I will be reprimanded by my father, but now it is good, I am afraid that if I don't lift this table, he will not be able to prove to outsiders that he has been strict with me.

"Stone, hurry, hurry up and change your clothes!" Mrs. Li found that as long as the appearance of the stone appeared in front of Li Shanchang's eyes, no matter how clever the method she came up with, there was no way to calm her husband's anger.

"Oh!" Stone put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the hall door. Green Willow was already waiting for him at the door, holding a jade-colored narrow-sleeved shirt in his hand. She was panting, red-faced, and obviously had come all the way.

"Miss, oh no, Childe, just now I, I didn't hold you, you went into the hall. How can you dress like this to meet the master? Green Willow said as she changed the stone's clothes.

The straight jacket is wide and straight, the tie is simple, and it is easy to change clothes, which is the most important reason why the stone likes to wear the straight jacket.

He never wasted a little time on clothes and other outfits, and although he didn't have a serious job, those games were more important to him than food and clothing.

"Childe, tie it yourself, I'll help you comb your hair!" Green Willow was anxious, but he still did things in an orderly manner.

She removed the wig, the golden hairpin, and the phoenix hairpin, put it in her pocket, took out another hair rope, and put a hair bun on the top of the stone head, and fixed it with a hair rope.

By the time he returned to the hall, the stone had taken on a new look, and he had become a handsome young man with clear eyebrows.

Mrs. Li was relieved a lot, and Li Shanchang's anger was about to subside, but when she saw that the stone didn't care, she burned again.

"When you're so old, you know how to play, and you mix with your maidservants all day long, are you going to ruin the lintel of my house?"

"Dad, don't be angry, I am learning the Four Books and Five Classics, Tang poems and Song Ci from Master Shangguan every day, and I only play with it occasionally. Doesn't Li Bai Dufu also often drink for fun? They can make even better poems when they drink! ”

In the first half of the sentence, the stone said righteous words, and in the second half of the sentence, he also knew that he was arguing with his father, and his voice became lower and lower.

"You kid, not only do you learn well, but you don't have any respect for your superiors! Tomorrow I will send you to Taoguang Temple to shave and become a monk. My Li family can't teach you, let's see if the Buddha can teach you! ”

Seeing that the fighting was spreading again, Mrs. Li decided to use her nirvana to turn the situation around.

She teary-eyed, sobbing and accommodating: "Xiangye, if you want to send your son to Taoguang Temple, then send me to the nunnery." Without us at home, you can be idle! ”

Li Shanchang and Mrs. Li usually respect each other like guests, but they often have disputes over the issue of educating stones. Lady Lee, like a chick, does not allow anyone to harm the stone for any motive, even if Lee Sun-chang, as a father, disciplines his son.

Li Shanchang was helpless, grabbed the half bottle of wine on the table, and drank it all. Li Chengyi hurriedly poured his brother more wine, and comforted him with a smile: "Big brother, the stone is still a child, it's normal to play, don't be angry." In another two years, he will understand everything. ”

"Yes, big brother," Mrs. Li Chengyi echoed, "Shi is smart and clever, and he will definitely have a future in the future!" ”

"Did Xiangye hear that? You are so fierce to the stone every day, do you want to scare him into a coward? In the future, he will go out and be timid, can he become a big weapon? Mrs. Li saw that someone was supporting her, and seized the opportunity to persuade Li Shanchang.

"Something big? He can't even memorize a poem, and you still expect him to be a great man? ”

"Poetry? How could he not memorize a single song? The book of poems that the queen mother gave him was all ruined by him! "Mrs. Li didn't know that the poetry collection was swatted by stones and flies.

The stones staggered their hands and pinched each other, weighing the gratitude in their hearts for their mother's trust and the pride in having the ability to hide from the world, which one had the upper hand.

"Hmph, you ask him to recite a song to listen to!" Li Shanchang scoffed, there is a kind of stone that can recite a poem, and he can be the posture of the emperor.

"Stone, give your mother a long face, recite a poem to your father, it's difficult!" Mrs. Li is full of confidence and is sure to win.

Li Shanchang stuffed a piece of fried tripe into his mouth, waiting to watch a good show. If the stone can't be recited, the lady naturally has nothing to say.

"Back, back......" Stone tilted his head, half-squinted his eyes, pondering what words were written in the torn and almost falling apart book of poems.

"Stone, back to Lu You's "Jianmen Road Encounters Light Rain". This poem is widely recited, but the artistic conception is very deep, and it is a good poem. Li Chengyi reminded on the side.

"Okay, just memorize this poem, let's go!" Li Shan said.

The stone glared at Li Chengyi fiercely, and secretly cursed him for being insidious and cunning, and he didn't dare to reprimand him in person, so he would only fall into the well.

"Oh, the name of this poem is quite long, it should be difficult, stone, memorize quickly!" Mrs. Li was impatient, she had already waited for Li Shanchang to regret it.

It's not that Stone never reads poetry books, and when he has nothing to do, he will sing the poems in them as little songs for fun. The stone thought about it, and he had an impression of the poem.

"Dust on the clothes......" Stone cleared his throat and blinked, "Uh, uh......" Only a few blank boxes appeared in his mind.

He glanced at his mother, and saw that the expectation in her eyes was replaced by regret and anxiety, regretting that she herself could not recite this poem and could not help her son, and was anxiously in a situation where there was nothing to be done.

Li Chengyi secretly pointed to the wine bottle in front of him, and the stone suddenly realized.

Although the words in the poetry collection were not clearly and completely presented in his mind, he felt that the poem must be like this: "How can I be a scholar when I fight the god of wine in the dust on my clothes, and I have friends everywhere I travel? The drizzle knows that my heart is burning. ”

After reciting, in order to respond to the scene in the poem, the stone looked beside him and wanted to drink a bottle of wine. Helplessly, the wine bottles were all in front of his father and Li Chengyi, so he had to raise his head and make a drinking posture to express his chest.

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, clapped her hands, and hurriedly sandwiched a big chicken leg for her son. Li Shanchang gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his face was gloomy.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Xiangye, how is it?" Son, it's okay, don't be angry anymore! ”

"Okay? This is the good son you taught, called Zhong Qian! Li Shanchang's face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water, and his two thick eyebrows were fierce like saber-rattling fighting dogs.

Lu Zhongqian is a scholar of the Li family, mainly responsible for accompanying his son to read and write. Unlike stones, he is very fond of reading. Li Shanchang asked Shi Shi to read the book, but Shi didn't want to read it, but Lu Zhongqian memorized the book backwards.

Mrs. Li felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't stop it.

Lu Zhongqian soon came to the hall, and Li Shanchang said to him: "Zhongqian, you recite "Encountering Light Rain in the Sword Gate Road" to the lady and the young master. ”

"Yes, sir! The clothes are covered with dust and wine marks, and the soul is lost everywhere when traveling. Is this fit a poet? Drizzle rides a donkey into the sword gate. ”

"This, this doesn't seem to sound as good as the one with the back of the stone." Mrs. Li knew that the stone was made up by herself, so she panicked, so she had to find some reason to show that the stone's literary style was acceptable.

", if you want to talk to your son like this again, your son will be ruined by you!"

"Ouch, how can the lord be so serious? Isn't it just a poem? Can't you live if you can't memorize poems? Xu, doesn't General Xu also know how to recite poems? The weight of people in the eyes of the emperor is not lower than you......"

"General Xu rode a horse at the age of five, shot arrows at the age of seven, and went into battle at the age of twelve to kill the enemy. Your son is sixteen years old, and he doesn't dare to ride a horse, or shoot arrows, let alone kill an enemy! Do you always think of him as a three-year-old! ”

Li Shanchang had never been so angry with Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly said: "Stone, don't eat it, go study!" ”

"Good knows its evil, evil knows its beauty. You don't blindly pamper the stone......" Li Shanchang's words followed him out of the door like a mosquito behind the stone.

The stone slipped away and returned to the study in frustration. His father's rebuke was accustomed to him, and he was annoyed that his uncle Li Chengyi was present.

At that time, he had tried his best to hide his embarrassment and embarrassment, acting as if he didn't care. However, he knew that Li Chengyi must have smiled in his heart. He also gave him false hints and led him astray.

When will this nasty guy disappear from their house? He was so attentive, what did he want from his father?
