Chapter Seventy-Five: Li Gang
When Li Jing returned to the Hongsheng Inn, he knew that Li Gang had sent someone to look for him, and he waited for half an hour before leaving. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Alas! I don't know what the outcome will be tomorrow. Will Li Gang, who has been strong and upright all his life, really treat himself. Li Jing looked at the Li Mansion not far away and thought silently.
At any time, civil officials look down on military generals, and civil officials look down on businessmen. Now that Li Jing has taken up all of both, if you add the matter of Li Ying's forced apprenticeship at the beginning, it is impossible to say that Li Gang has no opinion in his heart. However, at the moment, Master Li's side has already proceeded according to his plan, and I believe that it will soon be rewarded. As long as the good-natured Zhao Ji hears about his situation, he will definitely summon himself, and he is absolutely sure that he can find a strong backer, even if Li Gang doesn't wait to see him, it doesn't matter.
Not to mention that Li Jing slept very peacefully at night, the next morning, Li Jing cleaned up, and let people buy some gifts, in the middle of the morning, I went to Li's house, and it was the old man who opened the door, but this time I saw Li Jing was much more polite. Even if Li Jing brought some gifts, he didn't stop him, and let Li Daniu and others carry them in.
Li Jing saw Li Gang in the main hall, there is a kind of person, no matter what the appearance is, there is a temperament on the body, this temperament is formed for a long time, such as Li Gang in front of him, giving people the feeling of righteousness and awe-inspiring, such a person is born to be the material of the imperial history, even if Li Jing saw Li Gang, he did not dare to be presumptuous, and respectfully saluted Li Gang.
"When you come, you don't want to give any gifts to your family. Have a seat! Li Gang glanced at Li Jing, nodded with a little satisfaction, good looks, deferential and polite, maybe there are some shortcomings, but Li Jing's first impression still left a good side for Li Gang, pointed to the chair next to him, and said: "Although you and I are called master and apprentice, the old man didn't teach you anything, and I am ashamed to say it, all these years, only you wrote to me, and the old man didn't even give you a letter." ”
"It's the disciple's fault. The disciple has not served his knees for many years, and he is still worried about the teacher. Li Jing felt disgusted by his hypocrisy, but thinking about the old man in front of him was a national hero, when the Jin soldiers besieged Kaifeng, he would not support the crisis alone, unite the army and the people, and resist the invasion of the Jin soldiers. Li Jing's words also had some more sincerity.
"Your father is a martial artist, you?" Li Gang originally wanted to test Li Jing's homework, but when he thought of Li Ying's identity, his face suddenly showed a trace of dissatisfaction, and he sighed: "Forget it, I originally wanted to test your homework, but now that I think about it, you can't learn anything in Shandong, your father!" In this world, all the apprentices are willing by you and me, but your father is good, he saved me from others, and forced me to take you as an apprentice with a knife. Li Gang shook his head suddenly.
"My father may have some mistakes, but I also ask the teacher to forgive his previous mistakes for the sake of his father's love for his son." Li Jing was also a little embarrassed, holding a knife to force others to accept apprentices, it was indeed a bit excessive, probably only a person like Li Ying could do it.
"Hmph, if the old man still remembers the past, do you think you can still enter my house." Li Gang glared at Li Jing, although his tone was a little harsh, but it also made Li Jing feel good in his heart, and it can also be seen that Li Gang is awe-inspiring, but he is not a character who eats the ancients, and if he is a person who eats the ancients, it is impossible for so many righteous soldiers to be used by him in the future anti-gold cause, and after hearing Li Gang's banner, they gathered under his command to protect Kaifeng.
"The teacher is merciful." Li Jing hurriedly said.
"Seeing that you are physically strong, although I don't know how good your martial arts are, I think about it, you are also a person who practices martial arts. It's a pity, it's a pity. Li Gang glanced at Li Jing, shook his head and said, "If I had known that you were born like this, I should have brought you to Jingshi, and I might not be able to fight in the imperial examination." Li Gang is right, you must know that the appearance of the official is very important, the emphasis is on the appearance of the dignified, and the handsome people have a great advantage, such as the national character face, the Shen character face, etc., can add points in the officialdom. If a person like Li Jing takes the road of the imperial examination, he can also get a lot of benefits.
"Well, the student is still in business." Li Jing said with some embarrassment: "Teacher, you also know that Lijiazhuang is close to Liangshan Shuibo, thieves and thieves are rampant, Lijiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, and Zhujiazhuang are three joint defenses, but Zhujiazhuang is dominant, and he wants to destroy Lijiazhuang several times, and the disciples have no choice but to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, protect the territory and the people, but there are too many customers in the village, and the expenses in the village are very large, so they can only sell some goods and supply the people of Zhuang to practice martial arts." ”
"Liangshan thieves are so rampant?" Li Gang was originally about to reprimand Li Jing, but when he heard that the Liangshan thieves were so rampant, he suddenly became worried about state affairs in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.
"Zhujiazhuang has been destroyed, and the next step is Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang. The disciples came to Jingshi, on the one hand, to meet the teacher, and secondly, to sell the disciples' soaps, and to earn some money and strengthen my Lijiazhuang. Li Jing sighed and said: "There are already four or five thousand soldiers and horses in Liangshan, and there are only a thousand people around the disciples, which consumes a lot, and they are Zhuangke, not among the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, so they can only provide for themselves." Disciple, this is also something that there is no way to do. ”
"The official family has been addicted to pleasure all these years, and the six thieves in the court are in charge, the people are not happy, and the bandits are continuous, so it is difficult for you." Li Gang nodded, and did not pursue Li Jing's business and martial arts. It's just that he quickly thought of it and asked curiously: "I heard that you have written a good hand?" ”
"Where can a disciple write any good words, even if he wrote words before, it was just ordinary words, but not long ago, he was plotted by others, and after he woke up, he wrote a strange hand, and others said it was very good-looking." Li Jing hurriedly said what he said to Master Li at the moment, and finally said with a wry smile: "Zi Buyu is strange and confused, but this matter is very strange, and the disciple doesn't dare to take it seriously, but in fact, this is indeed the case, even the disciple doesn't know why?" ”
Li Gang was also curious when he heard it, this matter was too unbelievable, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he asked Li Jing to write a few words at the moment, and he found the letters written by Li Jing in the past from the study, compared with the two, there is nothing to say, the letters written by Li Jing in the past are extremely ordinary, but the current handwriting is very similar to Zhao Ji, but the temperament is different.
"Although Zi Bu is strange and confused, it is a good thing to be able to make you write a good hand, after all." Li Gang thought about it, and didn't know how to explain the matter, hesitated for a while and said: "You will stay here for the past few days, when you have nothing to do, follow the old man to study, as for martial arts, the old man knows a person, in a few days, he will also come to Kaifeng, and when the time comes, it will be good for your martial arts." Li Gang touched his beard and said. Obviously, he was very confident in the comer, which made Li Jing more interested.
