Chapter 7 Old man, do you still want a son?
The disdain in Li Ran's eyes flashed, in front of the master, there is no need to be hard-hitting, civilized people, you have to slap your face artistically.
"What the master said is reasonable, this bird is indeed dangerous, so ...... Specially build an aviary to raise, Xian Hui'er, and then pay thirty taels of silver from the account, give a message to the housekeeper Laifu, let him direct the repaired craftsmen to hurry up, and within a few days, the aviary will be built, we are not short of money. ”
"In addition, go to the county to buy books, what are the four books and five classics, hundreds of schools, but all those who have words, all come to one, expand the study room, and fill the collection of books...... Master, I heard that before you left the cabinet, you were also a famous talented woman in Jingzhao Mansion, and the article Huacai was not under the master, and the apprentice still wanted to invite the master to come to the study more, so as to ask for advice and homework, what do you think? ”
The smile on Wei's face couldn't help but stiffen, how could she be interested in discussing any article, in the past ten years of exile in Luling, the number of times she has held a pen can be counted on one hand.
"It's so good, there must be my teacher in the threesome, Ran'er, you should ask others for more advice."
Li Xian looked overjoyed, and when he heard that Li Ran was going to overhaul the study, his eyes were full of affirmation, as for the aviary or something...... The child's plaything, just fix it, it's not bad.
What's more, after looking at this Hai Dongqing a few more times, he also became interested.
"Apprentice, you said that this bird can be raised as a pet?"
"Hey, master, it's not just a pet, it's very useful, and if it's well trained, it's better than a hundred scouts."
Li Ran bragged, that is a good hand, besides, this Hai Dongqing originally had such skills, and when he talked about it, not only Li Xian's father and daughter were amazed again and again, but even the craftsmen who were doing the work at home gathered to listen attentively, Wei Shi was alone in place, not leaving, not staying, so angry that his nose was about to crooked.
Three days later, the aviary was built, and a Haidongqing, a female and a male, were tamed extremely obediently, Li Xian became the most loyal breeder, and every meal of meat must be fed by himself, more than raising a daughter.
Men, who doesn't like cool pets?
So much so that when he heard that Li Ran was going to give them away, his head shook like a rattle.
"No, absolutely not, these two birds, I'm going to keep them for hunting."
Tsk, after this life is comfortable, Li Xian's childishness has come up, and it seems that Wu Zetian's beatings are still less......
"Master, if you want to hunt, I'll get you a few good hounds tomorrow, that thing is more exciting, these two Hai Dongqing, I have a lot of use...... This year is the triennial day for the royal family from other places to return to Beijing to face the saint, calculate the time, there is only half a month left to return, you have to prepare early? ”
Li Xian's face changed drastically, and he said in horror, "Disciple, you are confused!" What did you do when you went back to Beijing? The queen mother finally let go and I didn't mention it, I went back to Beijing this time, didn't I feel uncomfortable for myself? ”
“…… Master, the wealth is in danger, you stay in Luling for a few more years, those people in the court are about to forget about you, besides, if you don't return to Luoyang this year, the next chance to see Brother Chongrun, you will have to wait until the day of his crown......"
Li Ran had to remind Li Xian that there was still a son in the capital, and the flesh and blood were separated, so there was no reason not to worry about it.
Whether it is to pave the way for the future or to enjoy pedestrians, it is imperative to return to Luoyang to report on work this time.
"However, if the queen mother ......", Li Xian understands the reason, but Wu Zetian's prestige has long been a thorn in his heart, and this time he wants to take the initiative to return to Beijing, in his opinion, it is tantamount to a lamb running into the tiger's mouth, how can he not be afraid?
"Master, don't worry, isn't this me? After you return to Beijing, you will not go out of the door, you can only routinely face the saint, and the rest will be on me. ”
Li Ran's chest slapped loudly, so that Li Xian finally made up his mind.
The carriage and horses set off, as soon as the supplies were ready, dozens of servants followed, the mighty and mighty, from Luling to Luoyang the road is far away, can only set off in advance, fortunately, Li Ran has already prepared for the boring journey of entertainment, along the way to eat, drink and have fun, but there is no lack of fun, more than ten days later, has seen the magnificent city wall of Luoyang City.
“…… Alas, ten years. ”
Before entering the city, Li Xian stopped and looked into the distance, and sighed a long sigh.
"Master, now is not the time to complain, don't you think, we should think more about the question of where to live after entering Luoyang City?"
Li Ran rolled his eyes, the Luling Palace, in Luling, Luoyang City, naturally there is no mansion, either stay at the house of relatives and friends, or ...... Staying at a carnavanserais?
Phew, is the inn inhabited? Brother Jiaodi's little lady has to sleep in the big silk bed room, it looks like she has fled and lost face.
"Hmm, why don't you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to borrow it?" , Li Xian pondered for a moment and had a plan, obviously not without thinking about this problem along the way.
Unfortunately, the answer was incorrect.
“…… Master, are you going to harm others? ”
Li Ran rolled his eyes even harder, shook his head helplessly, and said, "That's right, the Xiangwang Mansion is in Luoyang, and the territory is big enough, so it is okay for dozens of us to live, but master, you have been **** by Emperor Wu, and then Xiangwang has to enter the palace for at least two hundred days a year to ask for peace, do you think he is under great pressure?" ”
Xiangwang Li Dan, Li Xian's own brother, suffered better than him, but he was also one of the members of the Li royal family who were being targeted.
“…… So, what can I do? Li Xian was at a loss.
"I recommend one person, General Zuo Wuwei, Wang Xiaojie, he has an old relationship with your master, and he can speak well in front of Emperor Wu, and the weight of the court is not low, so it is suitable."
In fact, the choice of this foothold had already been considered by Li Ran before leaving Fangling.
This Wang Xiaoming was poor, he was conscripted into the army at a young age, and his military exploits were very stable.
He has been repeatedly promoted by Gaozong Li Zhi, and has always been grateful to the Li family, although he obeyed the orders of Emperor Wu, he disdained the children of the Wu family and properly wooed the object.
“…… Wang Xiaojie? I have had a few encounters with him, but I rushed to stay in the dormitory, this is ......", Li Xian was quite moved, and he was afraid of being rejected and losing face.
"It's okay, master, let's give gifts first, and then talk about the rest."
Li Ran pointed to Hai Dongqing, a good stepping stone.
Walking to the Wang's mansion, the servant sent a post, and after a while, Wang Xiaojie actually came to pick it up in person, "The prince of Luling has lost his distance, please come in for a while." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, there is General Lao Wang." , Li Xian was flattered, in terms of status, his status as a prince is not low, but how dare he compare with Wang Xiaojie, a popular fried chicken.
The two sat down together, recounting the old friendship, Li Ran found the right time, presented Hai Dongqing, bluntly said his reconnaissance use, and said with a smile, "The old general has been riding horses all his life, and he must know the importance of passing on military information, and with this bird, he should be like a tiger with wings." ”
"Is it really that amazing?" , Wang Xiaojie clearly didn't believe it.
“…… How about we make a bet? Li Ran pointed in the direction of the south of the city, "General Wang can order a quick ride to the outskirts of the southern city, with two pillars of incense as the limit, to see if they can fly back." ”
"Okay, I'll bet with you, how do you say if you win or lose?" , Wang Xiaojie raised his eyebrows and immediately agreed.
