"The two of you are old, and you have both lived to the belly of a dog!" Li Daozong saw the appearance of the two of them in front of him, and he was angry.

Qu Tushou and Zhang Daxiang are both in their thirties and forties, and they are usually high-ranking and powerful, and they can only be submissive in front of Li Daozong, nodding their heads and making a difference.

"Uncle Li taught me a lesson! It's the nephew who has no eyes, and he blames Brother Mo! Zhang Daxiang was very single-minded.

The name Zhang Daxiang is powerful, not only that, but his two younger brothers, one is named Zhang Dasu and the other is Zhang Da'an, which is estimated to be above the family tree and ranked in the big characters, so it is really difficult to name it.

Qu Tushou also made amends again and again, Li Daozong is not only a royal family, but also a great military achievement, his status is too high, Qu Tushou can only listen.

"Merton, these two stupid old men have already scolded them, and the old man has the cheekiness to ask them for a favor! Don't give them general knowledge! Li Daozong glared at them hatefully and pleaded with Merton.

"Lord Mo, my father and my ancestor share the love of robes, and I also ask Lord Mo to forgive me for the sake of the ancestors' past affection." Zhang Daxiang said earnestly.

"Just talking!" Li Daozong snorted coldly.

Qu Tushou was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly took out a yellowed document from his arms and handed it over.

"Title deeds?" Li Daozong took it and looked at it, and raised his eyebrows.

"We know that the Mo family test field is testing new crops, and even His Majesty is full of praise, but one hundred acres is too small, I am afraid that it will delay Your Majesty's big event, and the two of us happen to have four hundred acres of land adjacent to the Mo family test field, and we specially gave it to the Mo family test field, and we have a little bit of heart, which can be regarded as a great kindness to our Majesty." Qu Tushou is very open-minded, obviously he is apologizing to Merton, but he does not take any responsibility for Merton.

To be honest, four hundred acres of land is nothing to the two national mansions, but these fields are all land close to Chang'an City, which is particularly rare, not to mention that the two of them can get a field adjacent to the Mo family's experimental field, which makes the sincerity of the two even more obvious.

The two princes personally came to the door to serve the softness, which can be said to have given Morton enough face, plus Li Daozong personally interceded, and Merton was not easy to handle.

"The two princes are polite, the two princes dedicate their lives to the country, and it is the responsibility and obligation to paint the two old princes below, as for these generous gifts, Mo is really ashamed to accept them." Merton excused.

"Collect, why don't you accept it! If you don't accept it, how can you let these two fools have a long memory, and besides, the Mo family's experimental field will cultivate high-yield seeds one day earlier, which is the greatest blessing for the people of my Tang Dynasty. Li Daozong didn't wait for Merton to refuse, and took the title deed.

"Don't worry, this is the apology you deserve, it's not a bribe, and the old man guarantees that you don't have anything to do." Li Daozong assured in a low voice.

Merton suddenly smiled bitterly, he only now remembered the evaluation of this prince in history, that is quite a love of money, since Li Daozong has already taken over, Merton is not good to refuse anymore.

Seeing that Merton did not refuse again, Zhang Daxiang and Qu Tushou were also relieved.

"I don't know when Marquis Mo will have time, I'll come to the door to ask for advice in person." Zhang Dashou's posture was very low.

"What time are you waiting, I think it's right now," Li Daozong said dryly.

"I wonder if it's convenient for Brother Mo?" Qu Tushou asked, he was also anxious, the sooner this matter was resolved, the sooner the reputation of the Jiang Zhong Mansion would be saved.

Morton thought about it, he came to help the criminal department paint a portrait this time, and the brush painter and paper were all complete, so he nodded and said, "There is nothing down there?" It's just that I need several oral descriptions from people close to the two old fathers to paint. ”

"Brother Mo, don't worry, we have already arrived!" Zhang Daxiang pointed to the carriages that were already waiting not far away, they had already learned about the conditions for Merton's painting from Mrs. Yin, and they had prepared in advance.

"This king is also very familiar with the two old friends, and he should be able to help!" Li Daozong said.

In this case, what else could Merton say, he immediately borrowed the land of the Criminal Department and started work directly.

When Zhang Daxiang and Qu Tushou took the portraits of Qu Tutong and Zhang Gongjin, thanked Merton again and again, and left with tears, the entire Chang'an City focused its attention on the Laiguo Mansion.

So far, twenty-three portraits of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion have been completed, leaving the portrait of Du Ruhui, the Duke of Laiguo, unfinished. Everyone is watching to see what Du Fu is going to do.

"Rebel!"

In the Lai Guo Mansion, the Du clan with an angry face hated Du He, who was kneeling in front of Du Ruhuiling.

At this time, Du He's face was defeated, and there was no longer yesterday's arrogance, and bad news came one after another, first Yin Yuan, who he thought was a fool, personally went to the court to prove the innocence of the Mo family, and then Yan Liben refused to paint, cutting off his last trace of back road, coupled with the backlash of Jiang Zhong's Mansion and Zou Guo's Mansion, which directly put Lai's Mansion on the cusp.

"I don't believe that the Mo family dares not to paint a portrait of his father!" Du He still said stiffly.

"The Mo family doesn't dare, but every day he drags on, my Du Mansion will become the laughing stock of Chang'an City for one more day, and he will lose an emperor's heart, and your father's reputation for hard work will be ruined." Du Shi said sadly.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, the top priority now is to get Mo Jiazi's forgiveness as soon as possible and draw the portrait of the second brother as soon as possible. In this way, the reputation of Du Fu can be restored. On the side, Du Chuke comforted, he was Du Ruhui's younger brother, and there was such a big matter in the Laiguo Mansion, and the Du family invited him to discuss it as soon as possible.

"It's all up to the uncle!" Du Shi said helplessly.

Du Chuke thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, Qu Tushou and Zhang Daxiang interceded with King Jiangxia and took out 400 acres of land adjacent to the Mojia experimental field, and this matter was settled. ”

"Four hundred acres of land is simple, and my Du Mansion family can take it out." Du Shi hurriedly said.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, since you want to show the sincerity of my Du Mansion, naturally it can't be the same as the apology of the two of them, I remember that Du Mansion still has a house near Guozijian, and the Mo family's Mo Hospital is preparing for a women's medical school for the queen's illness, so it is better to use this house as an apology, so that the Mo family can't refuse."

The land near Guozijian was worth a lot of money, but at this moment, Du Shi didn't feel distressed at all, and directly asked the housekeeper to take out the title deed and hand it to Du Chuke.

"The cause of this incident lies in He'er, I'm afraid it's ......"

Du Shi glanced at Du He, closed his eyes sadly and said, "Please tell Lord Mo, just say that He'er will return to the old mansion to keep filial piety for her deceased husband for three years from now on." ”

"Mother!" Du He looked at his mother in amazement, and went back to the old mansion to guard his filial piety for three years, doesn't that mean that he will never be able to come to Chang'an City again in three years. is used to the prosperity of Chang'an City, so that his hometown lives those boring days of filial piety, and it is uncomfortable to kill him with a pen.

Looking at his mother's determined expression, knowing that his mother was serious, he lowered his head in a gloomy manner, and the jealousy of Merton in his heart reached its peak.

Du Chuke opened his mouth, he originally wanted to say that Du He would come to the door in person to make amends, but he didn't expect Du Shi to make such a heavy hand.

However, looking at Du He, who was still unconvinced, Du Chuke still felt that Du Shi's approach was right, otherwise this kid might not know what moths would come out in the future.

It's a pity that if Du Shi and Du Chuke knew that Du He would instigate Li Chengqian to rebel in the future, which would almost wipe out the Du family, I am afraid that they would have the heart to strangle him now.

That night, Du Chuke personally came to the door to make amends, and after learning of Du Fu's apology and Du He's punishment, Merton knew Du Fu's sincerity.

Merton also wanted to solve this turmoil as soon as possible, and used Du Chuke as a template overnight to draw a portrait of Du Ruhui.

At this point, the portraits of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion have all been completed.
