"I don't know, what bet does Xu Xiang want to make??" Li Shizhi asked.

"Bet you won't go to Xiuchuan Academy!!" Xu Yushi said to Li Shizhi with a smile.

At this moment, one of Xu Yushi's attendants walked in and whispered a few words in Xu Yushi's ear, Xu Yushi nodded to indicate that he knew, and the attendant quietly retreated, and then Xu Yushi looked at Li Shiyi and continued: "Xiaoyou, do you dare to bet?" ”

After listening to Master Xu's words, Li Shizhi was stunned in place, and he couldn't go to Xiuchuan Academy by himself?? This is not a big deal, and he has been named Wenlin Lang because of his grandfather, whether he goes to Xiuchuan Academy or not does not hinder the overall situation, why does Xu Yushi want to make this bet with himself? ?

Li Shiyi, who couldn't figure it out, didn't dare to speak rashly, thinking about countermeasures in his heart, and Xu Yushi didn't chase after him, standing in place and waiting for Li Shiyi's answer.

Li Shizhi thought for a while, and never understood Xu Yushi's intentions, Li Shizhi looked up at Xu Yushi and said; "Xu Xiang, do you think I'm betting that I'll go to Xiuchuan Academy?"

After listening to Li Shiyi's answer, Xu Yushi scolded with a smile: "Since it's a bet, why ask the old man's opinion, okay, the old man won't be difficult for you!" ”

When Li Shiyi heard Xu Yushi's words, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, but just after relaxing, Li Shiyi heard Xu Yushi say again: "The old man has something that you need to do, and the old man will give you a big gift!" Would you like to? ”

Li Shiyi hurriedly replied: "Prime Minister Zuo is as good as he wants, and the juniors will do their best." Don't dare to slack off!!"

Master Xu nodded and said: "I want you to go to Jinling alone, capture a sparrow, take it to my mansion in Yangzhou, find someone named Xu Tiantian, and hand over the sparrow to him, and then the old man will make his own arrangements!! ”

"The junior takes the order!!" Although Li Shiyi explained to Xu Yushi what he had done, he couldn't figure it out, but he still bowed down to receive the order.

Master Xu Yuan helped Li Shiyi up, took Li Shiyi's arm and walked back to the patio and asked, "You don't have any doubts at all, why does the old man want you to do something ridiculous??" ”

Li Shizhi helped Xu Yushi to sit down, and then stood beside Xu Yushi and said: "Xu Xiangzhi's City Mansion, how can it be guessed by a younger generation with a hatching child?" But Xu Xiangcai is quick to think, and what he does must have deep meaning, the younger generation is not good at guessing, but the younger generation has a reluctant request, and I hope that Xu Xiang will be successful!! ”

Xu Yushi looked at Li Shizhi curiously, and motioned for Li Shizhi to continue, Li Shizhi glanced at Xu Yushi, and saw that Xu Yushi was not displeased, so he immediately continued: "The younger generation is afraid of the elders in the family, and I don't know that Xu Xiang's drive is unprepared, and he neglects Xu Xiang, and the younger generation takes someone back to Changming immediately and cleans the house. ”

Xu Yushi clapped his hands, looked into the distance and said, "Don't bother, your father should see that the time should be up, don't bother Li Gongzi to go home and prepare!" ”

His careful thinking was exposed, Li Shiyi's face turned red, and he no longer spoke and sat on the ground, but he was very puzzled in his heart, his father knew that Xu Yushi was coming, but when he left the house, he was not stopped by his father, and he was very generous to give himself a large amount of money.

Just when Li Shiyi was thinking nonsense, the entourage appeared again and said to Xu Yushi: "Master, Li Ke, the lieutenant of Changming County, is asking to see him outside the door!! ”

Li Shizhi immediately stood up and looked out of the main hall, Li Yu, who was sitting on the ground and crying, also immediately stopped crying and got up, jumped to look out of the door, Li Shiyi walked in front of Xu Yushi and said: "Xu Xiang, when my father arrives, the younger generation will immediately go to greet him, and then I will come in with my father to meet Xu Xiang!! ”

Xu Yushi didn't speak, just nodded and motioned for Li to take care of himself.

Li Shizhi immediately got up and pulled Li Yu to run out of the door, and when he got to the door, Li Shiyi saw his father Li Ke who came from Changming in a hurry, Li Ke was very surprised to see his son, but there was nothing on his face, it was raining heavily, Li Shiyi immediately helped his father into the hall, and took off the coat and hat on his father's body.

Li Ke looked at his son and found that it was no different from before he left home, that is, he was tanned because he was in a hurry, Li Ke nodded with satisfaction and said, "Rhino, have you seen Xu Xiang??" ”

Li Shiyi immediately bowed to the ground and reported: "Back to my father, my son has seen Xu Xiang, this time Xu Xiang took the will of the saint to rehabilitate his grandfather!" The son congratulates his father on the fulfillment of his wish for many years!! ”

Li Ke nodded excitedly, helped Li Shiyi up, patted the dust on Li Shiyi's body and said: "I know, your grandfather's nickname, for my father has always been in my heart, a few days ago your uncle also wrote from Chang'an that things have taken a turn for the better, let me go to Shenjing for activities, for my father to wait for you to go out to study, take your mother to Chang'an together, but after you left, you got the news, saying that the sage changed your grandfather's name, and sent Xu Xiang to come to issue an edict, saying that there is a corresponding title reward, for the father to come to greet him, And asked your mother to send someone to Xiuchuan Academy to pick you up, I didn't want to see you here?? ”

Li Shizhi responded embarrassedly: "My son is greedy for fun, and he didn't go to the academy as soon as possible, and he played with his classmates in Mianzhou for a few days, which delayed some time, so he walked to Dakuang Mountain, and asked his father to punish him!" With that, he knelt on the ground again and begged for his father's help.

Li Ke looked at Li Shizhi who was kneeling on the ground with a headache, he was just this one son, he couldn't beat or scold on weekdays, plus the tigress in the family was very doting on this only child, and he was also busy with things in the yamen and couldn't get out, so he neglected to discipline, but although Li Shizhi was absurd, he was famous in Mianzhou, and countless scholars were proud to make friends with Li Shiyi, plus he had a bold and chivalrous personality, and was invited to study by Xiuchuan Academy, which ranked first in Shu.

Li Ke sighed, pulled Li Shiyi up and taught him a lesson: "You can't be greedy for fun in the future, you have to concentrate on your studies, you know?" ”

"Son, it's all up to my father!!" Li Shiyi immediately swore on the donkey.

Li Ke nodded with satisfaction, and saluted to the disciples and entourage of Master Xu Yu in the main hall and said: "Contemptible Changming County Lieutenant Li Ke, I ask to see Xu Gong of Pingzhang under the Tongzhong Shumen, and please go in to report, Li Thank you!" ”

The disciple entourage of the Xu family did not speak, but a young man walked out of the crowd and said to Li Ke in return: "In the rest of the rest, it is Xu Xiang's disciple, and I also ask Li County Lieutenant to go with me to meet the teacher, Li County Lieutenant is here, please."

Li Ke looked at Yu Xiu and said, "Yu Gongzi is very high, he will definitely be extraordinary in the future, and it will trouble Yu Gongzi!! ”

Yu Xiu hurriedly replied: "County Lieutenant Li Mizan, the student will take the county lieutenant and the noble son to meet the teacher" After speaking, he guided Li Ke, and Li Shizhi walked to the back hall.
