Chapter 97: Stand up for your father
Xiao Chen's father-in-law's eyes widened, and his smile became more and more kind. This is the prelude to the anger of the 'Gao Eunuch', and the more angry he is, the more smiles he has on his face.
Out of the palace wall, Xiao Chen's father-in-law himself also wants to start a new life, otherwise he wouldn't ask Li Yuan to give him the name Chen Guan, doesn't he want to get rid of the identity of a eunuch? He just compared Wei Yingluo to Kong Yingda's concubine, and Wei Yingluo immediately pointed out his identity as a eunuch, which shows that this is a master who refuses to suffer.
"It turned out to be the daughter of Duke Wei, and she was really talented. Why didn't Wei Gong come today? ”
"My father was slandered by the villain, and he was worried about the major affairs of the family and the country, and he was worried about the disease, and he was recuperating at home."
"Oh," Xiao Chen Gonggong nodded in understanding, and asked again: "I don't know where Wei Gong's congratulatory gift is, please give me the gift list, I can record it." ”
"The family has no money to spare, only a congratulatory note written by my father." As he spoke, Wei Yingluo took a painting scroll from the person behind him and unfolded it halfway, which was Wei Zheng's handwritten congratulatory note. For such a big event, only a congratulatory note was sent, which is really a bit unreasonable. But Wei Yingluo's face was not ashamed. The gaze is still clear, as if 'poor' is glorious.
What a sharp-toothed girl!
Xiao Chen's father-in-law secretly remembered Wei Yingluo in his heart, and accepted the congratulatory post with a smile. called a waiter and asked her to take Kong Yingda and her party to sit down.
At this time, Li Mu came down from the upper floor, because the Emperor Taishang had arrived, and the Emperor Taishang had already learned the machine in this building. And this conspicuous thing, Li Yuan likes it the most, of course Li Mu can't rob him. It just so happened that Gonggong Gao had also arranged for the escort to accompany him, so Li Mu took the opportunity to withdraw.
When Xiao Chen's father-in-law saw Li Mu, he hurriedly walked up and talked about what happened just now. Li Mu followed the direction of Xiao Chen's father-in-law's finger and saw the table where Kong Yingda was, and at a glance saw Wei Yingluo dressed as a man. Wei Yingluo also seemed to have discovered him, and was talking to Chen Danqiu, when she suddenly turned around and saw Li Mu looking at her, she nodded very politely.
"Manager, this girl's mouth is sharp, I don't think it's under her father."
"I know, the Emperor Taishang has arrived, you go and get busy, I'll deal with it here."
Xiao Chen's father-in-law answered and went to Li Yuan's place to serve. Li Mu smiled, ignored Wei Yingluo's provocative gaze, and turned around to continue to receive the newly arrived guests.
Kong Yingda looked at Li Mu's back hatefully, and said to Wei Yingluo: "See, what a nobody, don't say anything about placing the old man here, don't even say hello, it's really inappropriate!" ”
"Uncle Kong is angry, you are not here for him today."
"That's just as well!" Kong Yingda got a step and went down the way, otherwise how could he reason with Li Mu? suffered two losses in the hands of Li Mu in a row, and his face was all lost, there were so many guests today, he didn't dare to make trouble anymore.
Wei Yingluo smiled, but she didn't think so. She came here today, although she also stood on Li Mu's hostile position, but in terms of facts, Wei Yingluo didn't think that Li Mu had the intention of treating Kong Yingda slowly. First, others were not present just now, and besides, she also observed for a while, the people sitting on the first floor were indeed officials of the fourth or fifth grades, Kong Yingda talked about the products, and it was normal to sit here.
Although Kong Yingda has the title of 'Descendant of Kong Sheng', everyone respects three points. But isn't it wrong that people don't want to respect your name? If you want to force theories, you can only make a fool of yourself.
Actually, Wei Yingluo lied just now. She is here today, not Wei Zheng's meaning. Wei Zheng has three sons, and even if he is ill, he will not let his daughter pretend to be a man to do it for him. The real situation is that Wei Zheng, like the Shandong scholars, chose not to participate. Wei Yingluo came by herself, and the congratulatory note was also written by her imitating Wei Zheng's handwriting. And the purpose of her coming here is to meet Li Mu.
In the past few days, Wei Zheng and Li Mu's fighting methods have been well known to everyone in Chang'an. Wei Yingluo, as Wei Zheng's daughter, is naturally very clear. At the beginning, Wei Zheng had the upper hand, and she even felt a little pity for Li Mu, but then, Li Mu even used clever tricks to put him to death and survive, and even fought back, making Wei Zheng suffer the biggest shame since he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, which Wei Yingluo never expected.
As Wei Zheng's daughter, even if she knew that Wei Zheng was disgraceful in this matter, she couldn't blame her father. On the contrary, when Li Mu counterattacked, Wei Zheng was slapped and was so angry that she vomited blood, and she was deeply ashamed as a daughter.
She came today to observe Li Mu and see if she could find an opportunity to make Li Mu make a fool of herself and vent her anger for her father, so she came. But after seeing Li Mu, he was a little unexpected. The Li Mu she imagined should be a sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed monkey gill, but the Li Mu she saw was not the same as she imagined. He is neither a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, nor a reckless man, nor a handsome scholar, if I have to describe it, this person gives her the feeling of 'spirit', but other than that, it is not anything special.
Suddenly, Wei Yingluo saw a veiled woman coming. Li Mu saw her and hurriedly greeted her. The two talked for a few words, and Li Mu personally sent the woman to the second floor. Wei Yingluo frowned slightly, the father-in-law just now said that those who can go to the second floor must be above the third grade of the prince. Who is this woman, who is worthy to go up to the second floor?
"How can it be!"
Kong Yingda has also been looking at Li Mu, seeing that he is so attentive to a woman, and he can only sit on the first floor, his face is really unbearable, he slapped the table, got up and went straight to Li Mu. Seeing this, Wei Yingluo hurriedly followed, Chen Danqiu just picked up the teacup and was about to taste the 'new tea' made by Li Mu, when he saw such a scene, he had to put it down first and chased after him.
Li Mu arranged Wang Ou in his private room, explained a few words, turned around and went downstairs, just in time to see Kong Yingda coming over angrily. Thinking that he would become half of the old man's disciple tomorrow, Li Mu's mood instantly collapsed, speaking of the festival between the two, Li Mu actually didn't suffer a loss, but made Kong Yingda angry enough, he couldn't talk about dislike for Kong Yingda, he just felt that this old man was very stubborn, and he always wanted to preach others, which was a little annoying.
I'm going to school soon, so it's better to have a good relationship with the principal. Thinking like this, Li Mu cheered up and greeted him with a smile.
"Kong sacrificial wine, I haven't seen you for many days, and your body is better?"
As soon as the words came out, Li Mu regretted it a little. What is this called, last time in the Liangyi Palace, he fainted Kong Yingda again, and now how about lifting his body, isn't it like slapping his face?
Sure enough, Kong Yingda's face instantly darkened, and he said angrily: "Don't bother the marquis, the old man doesn't dare to be it!" The old man came to you just to ask, who is that woman? Isn't it your daughter-in-law? Just now, the old man was blocked and not allowed to go upstairs, but you settled your daughter upstairs, what is the reason? ”
Li Mu somehow, seeing that this old man was excited, he wanted to trick him. Holding back a smile, as if he had been caught in pigtails, he showed an embarrassed look, glanced at Kong Yingda carefully, and said, "Oh, this...... Let's not talk about it. ”
"You have to make it clear to the old man!"
"Do you really want to say it?"
"It must be said!"
"Alas, Kong sacrificial wine, why do you bother me? This is ...... It's really hard to say, if I do, I can't save face. ”
Wei Yingluo had been standing behind Kong Yingda and peeking at Li Mu's expression, seeing that he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, although he made an embarrassed expression, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he noticed that something was wrong, so he quickly reached out and pulled Kong Yingda's sleeve, and whispered: "Uncle Kong, forget it." ”
"No way!" Kong Yingda broke away from Wei Yingluo's hand and said, "Zhuluhou, you have to make it clear, why can the woman go upstairs just now, is she a princess or a third grade?" Why are you a head taller than me? ”
Shepherd Li sighed and said, "Then I'll say it." Just now, when the Yellow River flooded in the first year of Zhenguan, Mrs. Peony donated 100,000 yuan to help the victims. She is a first-class edict personally enshrined by His Majesty, not a prince who is better than a prince, not a third-grade, but a first-class. She sat upstairs, as she should. If you are not convinced, you can go to His Majesty to theorize, or donate 100,000 yuan, and when the money arrives, you can go upstairs immediately. ”
"You!"
Kong Yingda's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, just now Xiao Chen's father-in-law compared him with Li Ji, saying that his title is low, his official position is low, and he can still bear it. After all, the person who compares is Li Ji, which is not very embarrassing. But now, Li Mu compares him with a woman, and he compares it to such vulgar things as money, which makes Kong Yingda, who has read poetry and books all his life, feel angry in his heart.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Mu say: "Kong sacrifice wine, I didn't say you, your temper has to be changed." It's not good for your health to be so old and so hot. I said it just now, I can't hold my face, you don't believe it, alas...... Why bother? ”
"Old man, old man...... Too lazy to pay attention to you! ”
Kong Yingda really didn't have any words, so he turned around and left. Chen Danqiu arched his hand to Li Mu in embarrassment, and he was about to go back. But Li Mu stopped him and said, "Master Chen, I will go to Chongwen Hall to study tomorrow, and I will have to deal with it in the future, please take care of it." ”
"Ah, that's easy to say, that's easy to say. Hou Ye's talent, everyone knows, teaching this word is not daring, you can discuss, discuss. ”
Chen Danqiu is a smart person, last time he impeached Li Mu with the three imperial historians, stood up for Kong Yingda, did not please him, and was not punished in time. Later, Kong Yingda was deflated again, and he already knew that Li Mu was the person he couldn't afford to provoke, and after that, he never said a bad word about Li Mu, even when he was talking behind his back, he didn't participate. Now that he has really been rewarded, Li Mu actually greeted him, which made him feel honored.
Chen Danqiu turned to leave, Li Mu put his eyes on Wei Yingluo, who was staring at him, and said with a smile: "You are the daughter of Duke Wei, have you come to me for revenge?" ”
