Chapter Eighty-Five: The Horse Storm (I)
Unconsciously, Li Yanqing has been studying in the county school for a month, and his daily life is tense and busy, he has to practice riding and archery with Zhou Tong during the day, and he has to study scriptures at night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This afternoon, Li Yanqing finished his riding and archery training as usual and was rushing to the school, where he had a poetry lecture today, which was the class he was most looking forward to.
After Wang Anshi changed the law, the imperial examination no longer examines poetry, and in the past few decades, including the local liberation examination, it no longer involves poetry examinations, resulting in Li Yanqing basically not working poetry in the past five years, which has become his weakest link.
So once there is a poetry lecture in the school, Li Yanqing will not let it go, and try to rush to listen to the class.
He walked through a forest*** and suddenly heard a familiar voice, Li Yanqing turned around, only to see a man standing in the distance, waving to him.
Li Yanqing was surprised and delighted, it turned out to be his father, Li Yanqing hurriedly ran over, "Daddy, why are you here?" ”
Li Daqi is still as thin as before, his skin is darker, but he is full of energy, and the sadness on his face has been swept away, and his years of business career have made him more shrewd in his eyes.
He smiled slightly: "Daddy can't go back home?" ”
"Last time, my father said in his letter that he would not be back until a few months later."
"I'll come back and see if there's something going on temporarily."
Li Daqi saw that his son was still holding a book in his hand, so he asked with a smile, "Does Qing'er still want to study?" ”
"No, I'm getting back to my accommodation!" Li Yanqing said casually.
"Okay, let's go to dinner first, and talk while eating, what do you think?"
Maybe it's because his son grew up, or maybe it's because he often deals with people in business, Li Daqi talks to his son, and there is a trace of respect in his tone.
"Then let's go to Qingfu Building! We go there a lot. ”
Li Daqi nodded, he was already very familiar with Anyang County, but he was not very familiar with Tangyin County.
The father and son came to Qingfu Building, sat down in front of the window on the second floor, Li Yanqing ordered a few dishes, and ordered a pot for his father.
Li Daqi smiled and poured a glass of wine for his son, "You can drink some too!" ”
"Daddy, did the batch of grain arrive in the capital last month?" Li Yanqing was extremely concerned about the incident that made the patriarch anxious last time.
Li Daqi nodded, "Last time, thanks to you, that batch of grain only arrived in Bianjing one day earlier, and the patriarch has always been worried about this matter, and he always praised you in front of us." ”
The father and son chatted a few more words, and Li Daqi gradually talked about the matter.
"This time I came to Tangyin County, in fact, I came specifically for your business."
"Does Daddy mean my imperial examination?"
Li Daqi shook his head, "Master Yao said that it is not a big problem for you to be admitted to the imperial examination, but I am not worried about your imperial examination, but other more important things." ”
Li Yanqing was stunned, there was actually something else that was more important in his father's eyes than the imperial examination, he was really confused, "What's that?" ”
"I'm here for the matter of the two patriarchs."
The second patriarch is Li Wengui, the anger in Li Yanqing's heart is burning, it has been quite calm for more than a month, Li Wengui has never looked for himself again, Li Yanqing thought that Li Wengui was afraid of face and no longer pestered himself, but he didn't expect him to find his father's head.
Li Yanqing suddenly said with hatred: "It's a shame that he is still the elder of a family, and it is just a matter of benefiting himself regardless of his shame, he still has the face to make things bigger?" ”
Li Daqi's face sank and said, "Qing'er, don't say this about the elders!" ”
"Does Daddy know what happened between me and Li Wengui?"
Li Daqi received a letter from Li Wengui to him, severely criticizing his son for being disrespectful, which made Li Daqi really surprised, such criticism was already very serious in the family, and he didn't know what was going on, so he hurried back.
"Tell me about it! What's going on? ”
Li Yanqing told him in detail about the day before the county exam, Li Wengui asked him to exchange papers with his young grandson, and said that in the examination room, Li Baoer asked him to take the papers for him to plagiarize.
Li Yanqing took out the note that Li Bao'er gave him from his book bag, he never threw it away, kept it as evidence, and handed the note to his father, "This is the note that Song Bao'er wrote to me in the examination room." ”
Li Daqi looked at the note, and there was a look of shock in his eyes, the second patriarch actually wanted to destroy his son for his young grandson, he couldn't believe it was true, but his son would not deceive himself, and there was evidence.
Li Daqi's heart suddenly became angry, he remembered that Li Wengui had always been prejudiced against him, and every time he met, he was either indifferent or sneering, and never gave himself a good face.
Now the wicked person sued first, criticizing his son for being disrespectful, which is simply unbearable, 'Bang! With a punch, Li Daqi slammed it on the table, and he was a little angry.
"You did the right thing, Daddy supports you, I will explain this matter clearly to the patriarch, if he wants to retaliate, we will not give in!"
Li Yanqing was deeply pleased with his father's attitude, and his father was much stronger than before, and he was no longer blindly weak and compromised like before.
Li Daqi groaned and said, "He also mentioned another thing in his letter to me, that is, about the horse you are riding, it seems to be called Snow Sword, right?" ”
Li Yanqing's face was as gloomy as water, why did Li Wengui mention his horses? An intuition told him that Li Wengui was afraid that he was going to beat his own horse.
"What does Li Wengui want to do, Daddy will say it directly!"
Li Daqi didn't know what to say, he hesitated for a long time, and finally felt that he should tell the truth, "Your horse, the second patriarch said that it should be given to his grandson Li Feng, and said that the patriarch agreed last year, and he asked you to return the horse to him." ”
Without waiting for Li Yanqing to speak, Li Daqi hurriedly said: "Of course, I didn't want you to really give him the horse, but I didn't know that the county exam happened at the time, and now it seems that he is not just targeting a horse, I guess he wants to save face." ”
Li Yanqing didn't respond immediately, he felt that this matter was not as simple as his father said, could a horse save his Li Wengui's face?
Besides, Li Wengui knew that he could not return the horses to him, and he was deliberately provoking trouble.
"When Daddy came, didn't the patriarch talk about it?"
Li Daqi shook his head, "The patriarch has gone to Zhending Mansion, recently the military has also been purchasing grain from the people, and our grain purchase can only be suspended, the patriarch wants to go to see the fur business, he happens to have an old friend over there, originally he wrote to me to go with me, but I can only rush back because of your business." ”
"Then this matter will be easy to do!"
Li Yanqing said lightly: "The horse was given to me by the patriarch, what does he Li Wengui think, ask him to talk to the patriarch, if the patriarch wants to take the horse back, I have nothing to say, but if he wants to snatch the horse back from me, then he can only bring humiliation on himself." ”
Li Daqi originally wanted to buy another horse for his son, and this horse was returned to Li Wengui, adopting an attitude of calming things down.
But now he knows that things are not as simple as he thinks, and he knows his son very well, who has not been a person to accept humiliation since he was a child.
I'm afraid this matter can't be settled so easily, Li Daqi only felt that his head was big for a while.
