Chapter Fifty-Six: The Day Ahead
Lao Xu has also completely turned over recently, not only the official position has been restored but also rising, even the biggest shortcoming in the past, reputation, has also been famous in the two capitals, it is said that in Luoyang City, some people have begun to openly embrace, for Lao Xu these years of depression and grievances, by the way praise my emperor's wisdom! Of course, the secret contempt for the eldest grandson to suppress the virtuous sometimes comes out.
Among them, it is still unknown whether someone is contributing to the trouble, but Li Zhi only laughed when he heard it, such a small turmoil, even if there is, I believe that with the golden signboard of Xu Jingzong's eternal Yin people, it will be calmed down, and it can even be used.
The Xu family is no longer deserted today, and has resumed its former doorways, feasting and drinking, but this person is not useless, at least every few days, let the housekeeper come over to contact the feelings, there is already an unbreakable secret bond between the two, even Sun Simiao's temporary residence in Li Zhizhuang and other things are also known to him, let his housekeeper come over and ask if he needs to do something?
A dignified three-grade ritual department book, doing this, even the most basic letters such as the blind method are saved, and tell everyone straightforwardly that the relationship with Li Zhi is extraordinary! This is very Xu Jingzong, which is completely in line with his style of acting, although Li Zhi understands that there is still some element of doing it for him, but he still receives this friendship.
replied solemnly, told him about Wu Mei, and explained the relationship between him and Wu Mei's sister and brother, for people like Xu Jingzong, words do not need to be explained, until the point is reached, if you understand, you understand, if you don't understand, you pretend not to understand, and it's meaningless to say it.
Sure enough, when the housekeeper arrived for the second time, he only said that the two would meet in Lijiazhuang today.
When I hurried to the outside of Zhuangzi, an ox cart had been waiting for a long time, and the ox cart that Sun Simiao was riding was completely different, the ox was a carefully selected big green ox, and the car was also made of pear wood to make an ancient appearance, the car was soft, surrounded by fences, and the roof was a pole, but he didn't pick any pergola or anything, and Li Zhi didn't understand what it meant.
It is estimated that Lao Xu changed his shotgun and jumped off the horse from afar, Li Zhi strode in front of Lao Xu, who had already gotten off the car, and looked carefully at the old man who had obviously rejuvenated the second spring, even his hair was a lot darker, and he didn't know if it was dyed? In a green shirt and robe, the old man in his fifties also had a ruddy and shiny face, still holding a scroll in his hand, and also looked at Li Zhi, with a gentle smile, a standard literati style.
This is the first time the two have met since that separation, although the encounters are different, but the feeling of the same kind of people is still there, they are not serious and good people, so don't pretend, tired!
Li Zhi suddenly laughed, stepped out, and gave Lao Xu a big bear hug, his intention Li Zhi could guess, it was because he guessed it, so he seemed very happy, the situation in the palace He is completely helpless now, especially the news in the palace is extremely lacking, but these news are not uncommon for those princes and ministers, which family does not have a familiar palace person in the harem to do the insider? I am embarrassed to say that I am worried about the society and have the emperor in my heart......
Lao Xu was obviously not very accustomed to Li Zhi's bold way of welcome, and he couldn't break free, so he had to say again and again: "Shame on the old man, shame on the old man!" ”
Li Zhi laughed, climbed on Lao Xu's shoulder and walked home: "Let's go, let's go home." ”
Xu Jingzong gestured to Gao Jing apologetically, obviously the two also knew each other, and Gao Jing also got off the horse and arched his hand, and was very surprised by the relationship between Li Zhi and Xu Jingzong, not only because of the disparity in age and status between the two, but also because of the enthusiasm of the two.
Xu Jingzong is now the Manchu Dynasty who does not know who does not know, there are surprises and secret praises, there are also conspiracy theories, remove the part of human character, but the ability of this person is recognized by everyone, can make such an old fox really befriend, then his high vision is naturally impeccable!
The three of them worked together, talking and laughing all the way, after arriving at Li Zhi's house, Gao Xun naturally excused himself to go to the wine shop to have a look, the two met in private, there must be something to discuss, can not avoid him to meet, he has not regarded him as an outsider, but he should avoid suspicion, this is a good habit of him.
After Xu Jingzong entered the door, there were more people in the family, all of whom helped to boil medicine, Sun Simiao was not at home, and only after asking did he know that he had personally gone into the mountain to pick a few rare medicinal materials yesterday accompanied by Zhuang Buyi, which made Lao Xu very regretful, after all, he was a well-known old immortal, and he also had the honor to get acquainted with him.
"Uncle, the coming day is long, why not be afraid of the car and the horse!"
The two sat down, Li Zhi sent fragrant tea, and said with relief, after all, there is a hospital here, and Lao Sun has acquiesced to the temporary stop here, there is really no need to worry, there are many opportunities to meet later.
Xu Jingzong smiled and nodded, he was also the first time to come to the village, he had already sighed about this clean, tidy and wealthy village, and this entry into the house was even more amazing: the Tang people did not have stools and chairs, and usually the guests were in the hall to set up a few soft seats or brocade couches for people to kneel and sit (for details, you can refer to later Japan, in fact, most of the habits and etiquette were learned at this time, but our own things were lost, and others kept them), and here there is a thing that Li Zhi called tables and chairs for people to use, Even sitting for a long time will not cause discomfort such as numbness in the legs, which is truly ingenious.
"The virtuous nephew has a splendid belly, there is always a blockbuster word, when the uncle is looking forward to your phoenix for nine days, I believe it will not be too far! It's also a shame to say that my uncle is ashamed of his great reputation, and he has to waste his time in human contacts, so he didn't meet you for the first time! ”
Xu Jingzong's words ordinary people need to listen to three points, leave seven points, when you get to Li Zhi, it's a little better, listen to seven points and leave three points, whether it is true or false, Li Zhi doesn't care, waved his hand and said: "It's still that sentence, Li Zhi is not afraid of the car and the horse, he would rather do it and cherish it!" ”
Xu Jingzong smiled and bowed his head again and again: "Uncle is hypocritical today, he won't be in the future, you are right, do it and cherish it!" Back to business, virtuous nephew, my uncle has inquired about some things in the palace, but before that, my uncle still wants to ask more, you and the talented man of the first emperor, Wu Mei, in the end? ”
Li Zhi shook his head, his eyes were clear and firm, and said: "It's just a sister who I just recognized, and I talked about it, and, in my opinion, this Wu Meiniang is very likely to have won the favor of today's saints, and soon, she will definitely be taken back to the palace, and, with my understanding of it, she will definitely not be ignored!" ”
