Chapter XVIII
"This is He Haolin's home?"
With a small courtyard and four dilapidated houses, He Haolin is a fifth-grade official, and his grade is not low, so he lives in such a place?
A passer-by passed by, Li Xun grabbed him and asked, "This brother is Ren, this is the home of He Haolin, the doctor of Guozijian?" ”
"It's Dr. He's mansion."
Li Xun said with a look of disbelief: "Wupin officials live in such a broken place? ”
This passer-by was wearing a cyan brocade robe, with a pattern painted on it, and he was a low-level official of the government, he looked at Li Xun a few times, and saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, and he was accompanied by more than a dozen young and strong men, and he knew that the origin was not simple at a glance.
"Little brother, don't you know, this Dr. He is very honest and self-disciplined, and he has a very clean reputation in the court, he has served in the Guozijian for decades, and has educated thousands of scholars, many of whom are already high-ranking officials.
Li Xun looked at him suspiciously: "You are very familiar with He Haolin?" I know a lot about him. ”
"How can I be a villain, how can we have a relationship with Dr. He?"
The little official in Tsing Yi shook his head: "These things are known all over the court, if you ask any person, you will get such an answer, and there is no deception below." ”
After speaking, the little official in Tsing Yi arched his hand and left.
Li Xun still didn't believe it in his heart, the income of the officials of the Jin Dynasty was not low, he He Haolin was a five-grade official, and he had more than 30 taels of silver a month, even if he couldn't live a rich life, it would never be like this.
Walked in, there was no one in the yard, a room on the far left, there was a burst of aroma of vegetables, they should be eating, Li Xun walked to the rightmost house, pushed open the door and took a look, it was a living bedroom, the space was not large, the furnishings were simple, but it was very tidy, the house next to it was also a bedroom, these two houses should be the living place of He Haolin and his son, walked to the third house, pushed it open and looked inside, Li Xun sighed deeply, and silently closed the door again.
This third house, full of all kinds of calligraphy and painting books, is a Qing official, and likes to collect all kinds of calligraphy and painting books, Li Xun finally understands at this moment, why He Haolin, as a five-grade official, is so poor.
"Husband, there's a guest at home."
A woman in her thirties walked out with dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw Li Xun and others, she was stunned, and then shouted into the house, she thought that Li Xun and others were friends of Xianggong He Tingxuan.
"Who's going to come to me at this time?"
He Tingxuan answered, walked out of the house, and when he saw Li Xun and the others, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he let his wife enter the house, and then closed the door.
"When are you looking for me?"
He Tingxuan was fearless in the face of Li Xun's group of people, and with this courage alone, Li Xun already had a good impression of this person.
Li Xun looked at him and said lightly: "Who am I, can't you guess it?" ”
Although He Tingxuan had not met Li Xun, he had indeed guessed his origin.
Looking at Li Xun and the dozen or so menacing young men beside him, He Tingxuan's expression changed several times, and he turned his head to look at the kitchen, where his family members were inside.
"I He Tingxuan did it, since I dare to do it, I am not afraid of your retaliation, I just hope that you will not harm my family."
Li Xun stretched out his thumb and sneered: "I admire your courage Li Xun very much, but I really don't understand that damaging other people's property without authorization is illegal, and you are also a court official, can you know the law and break the law?" ”
He Tingxuan said with a straight face: "Since I am a court official, how can I know the law and break the law?" After leaving from you, I had already gone to Jingzhao Mansion to surrender myself, wrote the indictment document, signed and detained, and Lord Jingzhao Yin Cheng sentenced me to one month in prison, and allowed me to go home and bring my own clothes and bedding, and when I had dinner and I was done, I would go to Jingzhao Mansion. ”
Li Xun smiled bitterly twice, there was nothing to say, at this time, the anger in his heart was gone, although the two were only meeting for the first time, but Li Xun could see that He Tingxuan, like his father He Haolin, was a very upright person, and he must be a good official.
"Young master, let's do it?"
A family member approached Li Xun and asked in a low voice.
"Hit him, I don't agree here, let's go!"
Li Xun shook his head, raised his hand to touch his heart, said this, and then turned around and left silently.
The family members were a little stunned, and they were inexplicably confused by Li Xun, and they left with their young master without a head or brain.
He Tingxuan frowned, not understanding why Li Xun left suddenly.
"Husband, why are you doing this?"
He Tingxuan's wife walked out, and behind her, there stood several children, two boys and two girls, the eldest was eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old.
He Tingxuan shook his head, didn't want to reason with his wife, and looked at his children: "For a few days after your father leaves, you must listen to your mother at home, and you must not be lazy and forget your studies because of my departure." ”
"Yes, father."
It can be seen that He Tingxuan's family education is very strict, and several children listened to their father's advice, and they all bowed down and said yes.
"Go pack my clothes, I'll report to Jingzhao Mansion tonight."
The wife persuaded him: "Husband, it's getting late, let's go again tomorrow!" ”
He Tingxuan was originally in a bad mood, but now when he heard his wife say this, he suddenly became angry: "A manly man, how can you not believe what you say?" Nonsense Hugh said, go quickly. ”
The wife had no choice but to pack her clothes.
....................
Li Xun returned home, Li Mancang was sitting in the living room drinking tea, and when he saw his son coming back, he hurriedly came over to ask.
Li Xun said the matter again, Li Mancang pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "That's fine, more things are better than less." ”
The next day, Li Xun didn't have to go to the palace to attend classes, but he slept a lot, Wang Anjiao's leg was broken, this kind of internal disease, no month is not better, and he is so old, it is estimated that the recovery is slower, when he thinks of this, Li Xun is very happy.
Who knew that when it was almost noon, the eunuchs in the palace came, and Li Yi asked Li Mancang and his son to have lunch with her.
Li Mancang and Li Xun's father and son arrived at Li Yi's place, the meal was already set on the table, Zhao Xun was also there, everyone sat down to eat, Li Xun ate a few bites, and said with a smile: "Auntie, this meal is not as delicious as your cooking!" ”
Li Yi smiled: "If you want to eat the food cooked by your aunt, it's not easy." ”
Li Mancang spoke at this time, talked about yesterday's events, and then said in a low voice: "Eldest sister, whether you are knighted or not, I think it doesn't matter, eldest sister, you still have to talk to the emperor, forget about the knighthood!" ”
After listening to his younger brother's words, Li Yi put down the chopsticks in his hand and said extremely unhappily: "Third brother, what are you talking about?" The matter of knighthood, you think it's just your business? That Chen Guifei's younger brother, who has been defeated repeatedly, has a wine bag and rice bucket, and can also rely on her sister's relationship to be a waiter, you are my only relative, my only brother, and the worst county barony, isn't it okay? ”
Li Mancang was overwhelmed by Li Yi's momentum, lowered his head, and didn't dare to speak.
Li Yi glanced at Li Xun and said lightly: "Now the Li family is left with you and the dog, you are my mother's family, I not only want you to have a famous position, but also let you have the power in your hands, if you can't do it, let the dog come." ”
