Chapter 766: The Generals Come to the Door (Part II)
Li Su has always been more hospitable, he likes to deal with all kinds of people, never mind the identity of the other party, up to the emperor and prince, down to the peddler and pawn, Li Su is willing to come and go, from the spring and white snow to the lower Riba people, Li Su can chat with others very happily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
But only if it ...... It's best to be polite to each other, whether it's sincerity or hypocrisy, the word "politeness" is originally an appearance, respect each other is like a group of harmony, whether it's sincerity or hypocrisy, Li Su likes it.
Obviously, several generals who came to the door today did not know how to read, at least they did not know how to write the word "politeness", especially the old hooligan surnamed Cheng.
Seeing Li Suying coming out, Cheng bit Jinle, and without waiting for Li Su to salute, he stepped forward and slapped him fiercely, landing on Li Su's shoulder, Li Su only felt a numb shoulder, and then half of his body lost consciousness, and instantly became a disabled and beautiful young man.
"Hahaha, the baby is good, the county is a prince, and I know that I will go out to greet the old man in person, I am a sensible and filial person, and it is not in vain that the old man has loved you all these years......"
Niu Jinda on the side snorted coldly: "Just welcome you?" When we're all dead? β
Li Ji also frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The old horseman is light!" Didn't you see the old man's nephew crying in pain? β
Li Su's eyes were filled with tears, he struggled to squeeze out a trace of an ugly smile, and struggled to bow down: "Uncles are here, the humble house is full of glory, and the little nephew is crying with joy, crying with joy......"
Cheng Biting Jin laughed: "Open your eyes and talk nonsense, but your face will not change, in the end, it is the kind of your Li family, and Li Ji Lao Pifu has a virtue, go!" Enter the house, today we are here to congratulate you on your promotion, good wine and good food are just served, and the baby will not wait for me. β
After speaking, without waiting for Li Su to say, Cheng Yanjin actually strode into the door, and the old horse looked more master than the master.
Li Jiniu Jinda and other veterans laughed and scolded a few words in the back, and also followed into the house. Li Su was the only one left alone outside the door in a daze.
ββI wonder if it's too late to hang a sign on the door that says "Closed Doors"?
The backs of the veterans were very majestic, but in Li Su's eyes, they flew into his house like a group of hungry locusts, Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then he was full of excitement and hurriedly chased after him.
More than a dozen generals, in addition to Cheng Biting Taurus Jinda and Li Ji, there are a few even Li Su who feel that they are face-to-face, two of them look particularly eye-catching, one is in his fifties, a few years younger than Cheng Biting Jin, he is not tall, but he was born Kongwu, wearing an ordinary Tuanhua silk shirt, his face is as heavy as water, he is not smiling, and he looks very low-key.
The other was relatively young, in his thirties, tall, with a humble and polite smile on his face at all times, and he always maintained a half-step distance from the old man in front of him, and it was obvious that the relationship between the two was either relatives or superiors.
After everyone entered the door, Li Su led them to the front hall, and when Li Su glanced at him curiously, the corner of the old man's mouth in his fifties twitched slightly, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was like a bell.
"The old man's surname is Su, his name is Dingfang, Jizhou people's name, the current general Zuo Xiaowei, I have heard for a long time that Li Xiangong is young and promising, famous all over the world, he is a once-in-a-century young hero, Su admires it, today by the light of several veterans, the old man is cheeky to look at the demeanor of Li County, and I hope that Li County's father will not blame the old man for being abrupt and presumptuous."
Li Su was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked.
Su Dingfang, another Tang Dynasty general, didn't expect even him to come to the door today, which shows ...... I'm really awesome.
"Brother Fierce General! β¦β¦ Ah no, the kid met Uncle Su, the kid has heard Uncle Su's name for a long time, and he didn't have the opportunity to see it, and today he can see Uncle Su's demeanor, and the kid is fortunate to have three lives. β
Su Dingfang doesn't look like a very easy-going person, maybe he has been governing the army all the year round, and his personality looks very serious, Li Su is so courteous, Su Dingfang just pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled politely.
Turning around and pointing behind him, Su Dingfang said lightly: "The old man is stained with the light of the veterans today, but this kid is stained with the light of the old man, I heard that the old man is going to visit Li County Gong today, this kid also admires Li County Gong for a long time, and he has to follow the old man, but the old man is reluctant to him, so he has to bring it, oh, by the way, his surname is Pei, his name is thrifty, he was born in the Pei clan in Hedong, and the current Zuotun Wei Cangcao joined the army. β
Li Su was shocked again.
Pei Xingjian is another fierce man! Both civil and military, with both ability and political integrity, the mainstay of the future of the Tang Dynasty, can be described as a pillar of the famous minister.
Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian...... The two generals and ministers actually had a master-apprentice relationship, and they came to visit him together, which made Li Su really a little surprised.
Without saying a word, Li Su hurriedly saluted.
"Foolish brother to meet Brother Pei, the name of Brother Pei, foolish brother has been famous for a long time, and today you can see the style, it is really the dragon and phoenix among the people......"
Pei Xingjian was obviously a little honest, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted back, looking frightened and not daring, and then showed a look of doubt, and said puzzledly: "Li Xiangong has heard of the last general? Where did you hear about it? β
Li Su is sluggish, a famous minister, naturally born with extraordinary, such as the roof of the roof of Ganoderma lucidum when he was born, purple light is all over the sky, the room is full of fragrance, Pei Xingjian is famous, but his fame was earned in the later Gaozong period, and now in the Zhenguan period, he is still just an unknown Cangcao joined the army, such a small person in Chang'an City grabbed a lot of money, Li Su is cheap, and when he opens his mouth, he is "a big name for a long time", which is a big truth for Li Su himself, but it is really a bit hypocritical for others.
Seeing that Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian were staring at him curiously, Li Su's cheeks twitched a few times, and he looked up to the sky and snorted.
"I look at Brother Pei's majestic and extraordinary bearing, it must not be a thing in the pool, even if he is in the abyss now, there will be a day of Tengda in the future."
Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian glanced at each other quickly, and after a long time, Su Dingfang stroked his long beard and said slowly: "Xing Jian, Kong Sheng said: 'Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good', you admire the talent of Li County Gong, but no one is perfect, Li County Gong's talent of opening his eyes and talking nonsense must not be effective, otherwise you will be driven out of the wall." β
Li Su: "............"
Pei Xingjian glanced at Li Su, couldn't help but smile and said respectfully: "Yes, Xingjian understands." β
Li Su sighed, among the group of old killers who came today, they thought that Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian were good people, but at this moment, it seemed that they were too naΓ―ve.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The guests and hosts in the front hall sat down, and Li Daozheng also came out to greet Li Jicheng and other veterans.
Although Li Ji and Li Daozheng have recognized each other, they are not close, and the grievances of the year are obviously not so easy to reveal, and they still have a knot in each other's hearts, and this knot cannot be untied or uncovered by the two at present.
Therefore, Li Daozheng and Li Ji's expressions were very calm when they saw each other, without the slightest sense of intimacy from their own family, but they seemed a little detached, and after a faint salute, the two of them turned their eyes away at the same time.
Cheng Yanjin admired Li Daozheng very much, and without waiting for Li Daozheng to salute, Cheng Yanjin grabbed Li Daozheng's arm and laughed: "The old man has known you for many years, but I didn't expect to be out of sight at the beginning, I never found out that you were also a well-known hero back then, my favorite friend in Lao Cheng's life is Haojie talent, don't talk about those false courtesies between you and me, come on, drink three cups with Lao Cheng before talking!" β
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several veterans in the hall looked at Li Daozheng.
Li Su's fame is naturally heard in Chang'an, and the later recognition of Li Ji's relatives is also known all over the city, but not everyone knows the inside story, seeing Cheng Biting Jin's enthusiastic attitude towards Li Su's father, everyone immediately looked at the two with interest.
Li Daozheng usually wilts like a sick cat, and the image of honest and honest wood can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but today the people sitting in the hall are all famous generals in the world, Li Daozheng somehow seems to have aroused the pride of the long-standing stuck, and laughed when he heard the words, and he was not pretentious, and he really drank three cups with Cheng Yanjin in the lacquer ear cup on the case, and the liquor entered his throat, not a drop leaked, and the heroic state suddenly attracted a burst of applause from the generals in the hall.
Cheng Biting Jin was crazy, and he was so happy after drinking that he couldn't do it, but then he glanced at Li Su with disdain.
"Dad is a good man, but his son is a coward, every time he drinks with the old man, he cheats and cheats, and secretly pours wine into his sleeve, thinking that the old man is blind and doesn't see, baby, you are different from your father, you can see from drinking that you are not a sincere person."
The words made the generals laugh, and even Li Daozheng laughed.
Li Su is full of black lines.
Today must not be an auspicious day for the zodiac, otherwise there would not be a group of old killers who ran to the door to block themselves without greeting them......
Still the uncle felt sorry for his nephew, Li Ji glared at Cheng Biting Jin fiercely, and scolded with a smile: "Zizheng doesn't pay attention to him, the old dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, if you don't talk to him, he will feel bored and no longer noisy." Today, the old man and others came to the door, and a congratulatory son is the county duke, as for the gossip in Chang'an City, Zizheng doesn't take it to heart, hehe, what is wrong with His Majesty's reward and punishment? Zizheng's contributions to the Tang Dynasty over the years are well known to the world, and a few civil servants are like clowns jumping off the beam, so they can jump up, and it won't be long before they stop......"
Niu Jinda nodded and said in a deep voice: "What Mao Gong said is good, my Datang knighthood has always been fair, Zizheng is trying to override public opinion, and the power of one person to introduce real rice seeds, since then my Datang's grain yield per mu has increased by nearly thirty percent, and the poor people in the world have the grace of life, this merit is much better than opening up the territory, and the people of the whole world should kowtow to Zizheng, not to mention that in the past, Zizheng made earth-shaking thunder, stubbornly defended Xizhou, Jinyang quelled the chaos and many other merits, Your Majesty named you the county prince is not an exaggeration, but those civil servants in the court are red-eyed and jealous, Zizheng doesn't have to pay attention, His Majesty has his own Sacred Heart to decide. β
Li Su hurriedly bowed down and was taught.
Li Ji then smiled and said: "Congratulations to you for being promoted to the county prince for one, and the other is for you, but we are here to thank you for your advice......
Li Su blinked: "Affection? β
"Not bad." Li Ji smiled, his expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, you gave advice to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to set up a portrait of the founding hero, which is offered on the pavilion, for Your Majesty to recall the past war years, and to use the deceased robes to mourn the deceased. β
After speaking, Li Ji suddenly got up and bowed to Li Suchang solemnly, and Cheng Biting the Golden Bull Jinda and other generals also stood up and saluted.
Li Su was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but he didn't dare to say in his mouth.
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Don't push the baby, you can afford this gift!" Back then, we followed His Majesty to destroy the Sui Dynasty, level the world, fight in the south and the north, Jin Ge Iron Horse, how many old brothers who had fought side by side died one by one, some died on the battlefield, some died of illness, Qin Qiong, Zhang Gongjin, Lao Duan...... Every year when His Majesty and our generals and old ministers have a banquet, Your Majesty will mention them, and then tears will not stop, baby, you will advise Your Majesty to make a portrait of meritorious heroes, for eternal worship, I and other old brothers are full of affection, and thank you on behalf of those old brothers who have passed away. β
Li Su smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle don't torture the boy, the portrait of the meritorious hero is indeed the boy's advice, but at that time I just tried to say that the boy is a junior, I only hate to be born too late, and I didn't see the demeanor of the elders who fought on the battlefield back then. β
Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "Okay, the old man and the others are just saying thank you, didn't you see that we all came to the door empty-handed?" If the baby is bullied in the future, our old guys have a bit of weight in talking, but I want to help you weigh his catties and ......"
Li Su was stunned and hurriedly bowed down to thank him.
He knew that Cheng Biting Jin said these words in front of everyone, obviously with good intentions, in the past, Li Su and the military had always had a good relationship, but the scope of this "good" was relatively narrow, at best, Cheng Biting Jin, Li Ji, Niu Jinda, Hou Junji, but today Cheng Biting Jin let go of these words, which is considered to be on behalf of the entire Tang Dynasty The military recognized and accepted Li Su, and Li Su's backstage in the future will not be only these few, simply put, Li Su will not travel around the world with a penny in the future, as long as he finds the location of the military camp, Basically, you can eat and drink for nothing, and you can pick and choose.
Of course, if he gets into trouble in the future, there will be more people who can cover him.
Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but be flattered, and then began to think about it......
What level of catastrophe do you have to break out in the future, so as to be worthy of the protective umbrella provided by the military, and you are embarrassed to open your mouth to the military to ask for support and hug......
****************************************************
According to the usual practice, when guests come to the door, a wine banquet is indispensable, especially if the guests belong to the category of unreasonable, and they should be treated carefully, so as not to give them any excuse to demolish the house if they are unhappy.
Li Su immediately ordered a banquet to be held in the house, and soon hot wine and food were brought into the front hall.
The Li family's cuisine is as famous as Li Su, in this era when the way of cooking is monotonous, only knowing how to cook and bake, the Li family's steaming, frying, stir-frying, stewing and frying and other various cooking methods have been unanimously praised by the whole dynasty, even Li Shimin can not avoid vulgarity, as the emperor forcibly sent several imperial chefs to come to the Li family to learn the arts.
When a plate of delicacies with full color and fragrance was served, these veterans who were usually pampered suddenly turned red-eyed, and devoured them completely regardless of their identity and image, Li Su and Li Daozheng were dumbfounded, seriously doubting the purpose of this group of killings, what to celebrate Jin Jue, what to thank, all excuses are all routines, most of them have been hungry at home for three days and specially waited for this meal......
Li Su sighed silently.
I didn't bring a gift when I came to the door, and I was eating and drinking, and I was drinking five or six, today is really a bad day for everything, and I am destined to be a foodie.
The elegant and tranquil front hall turned into a pigsty in seconds, only to hear the sound of pigs eating swill, the generals were very shocked to eat and drink, and they picked up the plate and pulled it into their mouths, and the whole dish was in the stomach, and then calmly picked up another plate......
Soon, the dishes served were swept away by everyone, looking at the appearance of everyone smacking their mouths unsatisfied, Li Suqing knew that he couldn't be good today, wiped the sweat on his forehead, turned his head and ordered his subordinates to give everyone another one as it was.
The generals were very satisfied with Li Su's performance of knowing and interest, and they all showed a smile of approval, Cheng gritted his teeth, glanced at his eyebrows, and hummed: "Your wine and food are not bad, but unfortunately the amount is too small, knowing that the amount of food we are waiting for is not small, this amount of stuffed teeth is served, do you want to fool the old man?" β
Li Su said with a bitter face, and didn't dare.
Distinguished guests come to the door, all of them are famous generals in the world, everyone has a strong stroke in the history books, obviously should be honored and excited, but at this moment, the inexplicable mood of being robbed by the strong beam bandits is swollen......
In the interval between the intermission and other dishes, everyone chatted in the front hall, the topic was not too noble, in addition to boasting about how heroic he was back then, how much credit he made, how to get the head of the general in the million army, etc., and then the style of painting changed abruptly, and without any foreshadowing, he began to talk about the girl in a green building in Chang'an City who was good, and the breasts, buttocks, and all the product comments, and then showed each other a hehey lewd smile that could only be understood, of course, this kind of topic of immorality and vulgarity was undoubtedly provoked by Cheng Yanjin, an old rascal.
Fortunately, Li Sugang's uncle was relatively noble and did not participate in such a lewd topic, while they were discussing, Li Ji got up and summoned Li Su out of the front hall, and the uncle and nephew walked along the corridor outside the front hall, until they came to a remote corner where no one was around, and Li Ji turned around and looked at Li Su.
"Jin Jue's turmoil, you don't have to worry too much, there is still discussion in the court at the moment, but it will eventually subside in a short time, Jin Jue's will has been made, His Majesty cannot take back his fate, and besides, your credit is here, the blind can see it, those red-eyed ministers just shouted a few words, in fact, they have no confidence in their hearts, and they will soon shut up."
Li Su's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Thank you uncle for mentioning it, my nephew is not worried, to be honest, Your Majesty was not willing to promote me to the lordship, if Your Majesty really wants to take it back, I can't ask for it......"
Li Ji frowned when he heard this: "A man's husband, born in the world, you should stand up for morality, and achieve fame in the world to shine in the history of the ages, you are young, why do you often have a dull atmosphere?" β
Li Su thought for a while, bowed, and said: "Zhongding mountains and forests are all dreams, and the world is not shocked. For the nephew, the fame is not as good as a cup of tea offered by the wife of the family. β
Looking up and looking directly at Li Ji's gaze, Li Su smiled and said, "Fame is cold, and Qingming is hot." β
