Chapter 145: Return to Gongsun Mansion
Your Majesty, how are you going to settle Mr. Liu? You can't let him stay in Chang'an City for nothing, right? Empress Eldest Sun sat up straight and looked at Li Shimin.
If it weren't for Liu Yiyi's identity as a businessman, the imperial doctor's decree that was just vacated today would be a good position, but it's a pity.
"That's what I'm worried about." Li Shimin stood up, took two steps back and forth, and said to Empress Changsun: "Didn't the queen see it? This Liu Yiyi has a somewhat loose temperament, and he doesn't like to be restrained, so he doesn't have the intention of serving the court for the official at all. Otherwise, how could he suddenly put on a businessman's hat on himself five days ago? ”
Just last night, Li Zhide of Sanyuan County had truthfully reported all the details of the establishment of the 'Liu's Plough Fang', and Li Shimin naturally knew some of the ways and saw some things here.
This Yanagi Ichijo doesn't want to be an official, but he seems to want his younger brother Yanagi Nijo to be an official. This must also be the main reason why he first covered up his identity as the owner of the 'Liu's Plough Workshop'.
It's a strange idea, but it's quite in line with Yanagichi's temperament.
He is a little slippery, this is the last time Liu Yiyi bargained with him and cried and complained about poverty, Li Shimin's evaluation of Liu Yiyi in his heart.
"Since he doesn't have the intention of being an official, and he has a businessman's hat on his body, I can only give him some more rewards and beat him back to Sanyuan." Li Shimin took a step and said lightly: "But I heard that Mr. Liu also has a younger brother. What is the name of Liu Ertiao, it is the three original talents, quite talented, it happens that he is a disciple of the earth this year, and he has also worshiped under Wang Zhihong, if he does well in the exam, he can also be reused. ”
"Well, the emperor Shengming!" Empress Eldest Sun knew it in her heart.
That's a good way to do it. Even if he repays Liu Yiyi's kindness, he can indirectly involve Liu Yiyi's talent.
"Young Master Liu, you can be regarded as coming back, it's been seven or eight days, and you don't come back with a letter, the eldest master and the young master have to ask you once almost every day these days." Gongsun Li respectfully helped Liu Yiyi out of the carriage, took the package in Liu Yiyi's hand, and chattered affectionately: "You go in with the little one, if the eldest and young master see you, maybe they will be happy?" ”
"Young Master? Could it be that my Helan brother is here? Liu Yiyi was overjoyed. However, thinking that Gongsun Helan's kid's legs and feet should not be good, Liu Yiyi asked Gongsun Li with some uncertainty. Because he knew that Gongsun Wuda seemed to have a righteous son named Gongsun Hannan.
"Young Master Helan came here three days ago." Gongsun Li said to Liu Yiyi as he walked: "I've been clamoring to see you, but you have been in the palace and have never come out, and the young master's legs and feet are not very dexterous, and it is not easy to enter." I had to wait at home. ”
"But that crutch you made for Young Master Helan is really a good thing, Young Master Liu. When the eldest master saw it, he was overjoyed, and directly ordered someone to build hundreds of pairs according to the young master Helan's, all of which were given to the old subordinates who had been injured in the previous war. Gongsun Li glanced at Liu Yiyi with admiration and said, "Although Young Master Liu's things are simple, they give those who lack legs and feet a strong support. The lord still praises you. ”
"Young Master Liu, please. The eldest master and the young master Helan must be playing chess at the guest university now. Chess, let's talk about it, it's also Master Liu's masterpiece. Gongsun Li's eyes began to have little stars. Well, there's some adoration in there.
Seeing that he walked to the living room, Liu Yi smiled, patted Gongsun Li's head and said, "Okay, I'll just go in by myself, you can go and do something else." ”
"Well, the little one will retire first, Young Master Liu, please!" Gongsun Li bent down and saluted Liu Yiyi, then turned back again.
Liu Yiyi stepped into the living room and saw an old man and a young man sitting there playing a game, but it was not Gongsun Wuda and Gongsun Helan's kid.
"General!" Gongsun Helan shouted at the top of her voice, still as arrogant as before, looking like she was underbeaten.
"Corporal!" Gongsun Wuda's voice was no less than that of Gongsun Helan, and it shook the entire living room. I saw him proudly say to Gongsun Helan: "You stinky boy, you just have a little advantage and want to checkmate the old man to death, so it's so easy?" Nor does it weigh your land? Your uncle and I have also led soldiers and fought in battles. How can it be so easy to lose? ”
"Again!" Gongsun Helan's face remained unchanged, and he took another step, and then he burst into laughter, looked at Gongsun Wuda and said, "Uncle, hehe, you didn't have a trick this time, right?" The rook and the horse are the same generals, where do I see you running? Hahaha"
"Uncle Gongsun
Brother Xian is really interested! Liu Yiyi interjected at the right time, stepped forward, and Wu Da and Gongsun Helan saluted.
"A virtuous nephew?" "Big brother?!" An old man and a young man shouted at the same time, which seemed very unexpected, and of course, more of a surprise.
"Hehe, Uncle Gongsun is polite, and Brother Helan is polite." Liu Yiyi smiled and arched his hand at them.
"Okay, okay, a virtuous nephew doesn't need so much courtesy, it's good to come back, sit down." Gongsun Wuda got up and pulled Liu Yiyi to sit down, looked at Liu Yiyi and said with a smile: "The old man and Xiao Lan'er are looking forward to the return of the virtuous nephew every day, I don't want to, the virtuous nephew is really coming back." Without notifying him in advance, the old man could send someone to pick up the virtuous nephew. ”
"Uncle Lao Gongsun and Brother Helan are worried." Liu Yiyi chuckled and said: "This time, with the emperor's permission, the little nephew is allowed to leave the palace temporarily, and in the future, the little nephew is afraid that he will have to harass his uncle's general's mansion for a while." ”
"Big brother, where is this, we are brothers, like brothers, let alone a period of time, the eldest brother has lived here for ten or eight years, who dares to say anything?" Gongsun Helan said very proudly: "The eldest brother just lives here, well, he lives next door to the younger brother, and the younger brother can ask the eldest brother directly for advice if there is anything." ”
"Xiao Lan'er is reasonable," Gongsun Wuda said: "What a virtuous nephew said just now was too outward, and the old man felt very awkward to hear it, everyone is a family, how can you be so polite?" And the old man is still waiting for the virtuous nephew to teach the old man chess, just now the virtuous nephew also saw it, and now even Xiao Lan'er, a little cub, can ride on the old man's head, how can this be done? If this continues, how can the old man have face again? The virtuous nephew must teach the old man. ”
"Hehe, if Uncle Gongsun doesn't give up, the little nephew is very willing to learn from his uncle." Yanagichichi smiled and nodded. I didn't expect this old man Gongsun Wuda to be a chess idiot. However, his chess skills are inevitable, well, too bad, and he can't even play the stinky chess basket of Gongsun Helan. It seems that if you want to train him in the future, it will be really difficult.
"Well, that's a good idea." Gongsun Wuda nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed the underground man next to him: "Ah Qi, you go to the stove room and give an order, and prepare a table of local wine for the old man in a while, and the old man will give a virtuous nephew a wind and dust, and drink a few cups." ”
"Yes, sir." Gongsun bent down in response, and then turned to leave.
"Come on, come on, a virtuous nephew, let's go to the next game first." Gongsun Wuda pushed the chessboard in front of Liu Yiyi and said, "Let's start now, shall we?" ”
"Uncle Gongsun, please." Liu Yiyi set up the chessboard and stretched out his hand to signal to Gongsun Wuda. This is his usual rule of chess, let the opponent move first.
"Big brother, I heard that you live in the left guard army in the palace," Gongsun Helan watched the two of them play chess, came to Liu Yiyi with a cane, and asked, "Then big brother, have you ever met Feng Xiaoyi's kid?" ”
"Oh, Commander Feng?" Liu Yiyi took a step on the chessboard casually, and said lightly: "I have learned twice, but I also have some friendships, just before leaving the palace, I drank with him for my brother." ”
"Oh?" Gongsun Wuda was also interested, and after carefully arching the pawn, he asked, "Then what is the result of your discussion?" Feng Xiaoyi's little cub and old man also knew that it was trained by Old Man Qin, and there was no ambiguity at all under his hands, quite a bit of Old Man Qin's demeanor back then, and the virtuous nephew didn't suffer his loss, right? ”
"Cut!" Gongsun Helan snorted disdainfully, his eyes were almost in the sky, and said, "Although Feng Xiaoyi's kid's strength is good, at best, it is on par with me, how can it be my eldest brother's opponent?" ”
"You stinky boy!" Gongsun Wuda unceremoniously patted Gongsun Helan on the head and scolded: "On par with you? People are making you not know, and you still have the face to say it, and you will be ashamed of our general's mansion! ”
This is not bad, Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, and when he fought with Feng Xiaoyi, it was obviously more difficult than when he fought with Gongsun Helan.
"Uncle, how can you talk like that? Grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige, that Feng Xiaoyi was really stronger than me before, but he will never be my eldest brother's opponent. Gongsun Helan's face was a little red, but his mouth was still not to be outdone: "And after these months of hard training, and with the teaching of my eldest brother on the side, I believe that after I am healed from my injury, I will never lose to Feng Xiaoyi next time." ”
