Li Xuanba felt very embarrassed that he didn't go to Guozijian for some days, after all, the time he spent in Guozijian was not a good memory for the doctor of Guozijian.

Li Jiuzhi and Liang Xiao followed behind Li Xuanba, their eyes were looking straight ahead, their steps were steady, and they looked like guards. The expressions of the two were very serious, as if they were worried about losing Li Xuanba's face.

"You wait here for a moment." When he arrived at the Wine Sacrifice Mansion, Li Xuanba stopped and said to the two behind him: "I'll go and say a few words to Cai Sacrifice Wine, and I'll come out in a while." ”

Li Jiuzhi and the two of them bowed down behind Li Xuanba and clasped their fists, and then stood in the courtyard and waited.

"Lord Sacrificial Wine, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the students miss it very much." Li Xuanba knocked on the door and entered the house, put on a harmless smile, and saluted: "The adult's body is still so tough, and the students are relieved." ”

Although I haven't seen him for a long time, Cai Wei has never forgotten Li Xuanba. He beckoned Li Xuanba to sit down, and asked politely, "Isn't Lord Zhongyongwei in Xingyang?" How can I have time to go back to the Eastern Capital? ”

"The weather is getting colder, and the river is about to freeze, so Xuanba will take a trip back before the river freezes." Li Xuanba replied with a smile: "I didn't want to disturb Lord Sacrificial Wine, but when something happened in the house, I need Lord Sacrificial Wine to come forward to help." ”

Cai Wei squinted his eyes, smiled without a trace, and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Li Xuanba told Li Gou about it, and then bowed down and said: "Xuanba thought, if you say that you are highly respected, who in this Luoyang City can compare to the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine, and all the doctors in the Guozi Prison are also erudite people, if the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine is willing to come forward, Xuanba is really grateful." ”

Cai Wei stroked his beard, his face was flat, he didn't pay attention to Li Xuanba's compliments at all, and said lightly: "The prison is busy with official business, the old man really can't pull away, he doesn't hide from Lord Zhongyongwei, and he has made the old man's hair a lot grayer by asking questions for those students." ”

Li Xuanba secretly slandered: Your old man's hair seems to have always been white, right? However, Li Xuanba's face did not show the slightest displeasure, but smiled: "That's really a coincidence, Xuanba suddenly remembered some strange topics a few days ago, I don't know if I can help?" After speaking, he took out a neatly folded piece of rice paper from his arms and handed it to Cai Wei.

Cai Wei hadn't opened the rice paper yet, so he nodded with satisfaction, and then pretended to open it casually, and when he saw the content on the rice paper, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "These questions are indeed interesting, since Lord Zhongyongwei has solved the old man's urgent need, then the old man will come forward to help a group of Lord Zhongyongwei." ”

"Although the students haven't come to ask for peace for some days, the adults won't be so angry with Xuanba, right?" Li Xuanba pretended to be lost and said: "The adult is an elder, and he is also the sacrificial wine of the country's eunuch, so let's call Xuanba's name." ”

"If I don't help you, are you going to take this sentence back to the Tang State Mansion?" Cai Wei didn't save face for Li Xuanba at all, glanced at him, and then said: "Tomorrow is Xiumu, and the old man will definitely come to the door on time." ”

Li Xuanba was despised by Cai Wei, but he didn't take it to heart, and bowed down and thanked: "The adult is willing to come forward, it is really Li Gou's blessing, how dare you bother Mr. to go out by himself?" Early tomorrow morning, the student will send a carriage to pick you up. ”

After speaking, Li Xuanba glanced up at Cai Wei, and saw that he had no intention of refusing, so he continued: "Since you will be closed tomorrow, then the other gentlemen will not be used in the Guozijian, I wonder if the adults can intercede for Xuanba and invite a few more doctors to go with him?" After all, this matter is related to Li Gou's lifelong event, and it also involves the face of the Tang Mansion, and I hope that the adults will help. ”

Cai Xijiu looked a little embarrassed, after all, Guozijian only took a vacation once in ten days, and now for the sake of a subordinate of the Tang State Mansion, it is indeed a little inappropriate to let those doctors and teaching assistants give up rest.

"Lord Sacrificial Wine just help Xuanba talk, as for whether they go or not, it depends on whether the gentlemen are free." Li Xuanba also knew that Cai Xianjiu couldn't be the master of this matter, so he arched his hand and said: "If they are willing to help, the Tang State Mansion will naturally not treat you badly." ”

Cai Wei nodded and said, "Later, I will relay your words to them." ”

Bidding farewell to Cai Wei, Li Xuanba did not stop by to see Yang Ling, but left Guozijian directly and went to another place: Zhu Mansion. After the Zhu family moved to Luoyang, they bought a mansion in Yanqingfang, which was not as grand as the Zhu Mansion in Dongjun, but it was also enviable.

Li Xuanba can be regarded as half of the benefactor of the Zhu family, and soon after he handed over the post, Zhu Zhe went out to greet him with the support of his second son.

"The old man is late to greet him, and I hope that Lord Zhongyongwei will forgive his sins." Zhu Zhe said tremblingly: "I haven't seen you for many days, and the adults are getting more and more energetic." As he spoke, he turned sideways and invited Li Xuanba into the mansion.

"Mr. Zhu, there is no need to say polite words." Li Xuanba shook his head and said with a smile: "Xuanba came to the door rashly, because he wanted to ask for something. ”

"Your Excellency is serious." Zhu Zhe said in fear: "The Zhu Mansion is grateful for the kindness of the adults, and they don't know how to repay it. ”

Li Xuanba naturally didn't believe Zhu Zhe's set of rhetoric, but the thing he invited was extremely simple, so he no longer made false promises, and directly explained his intentions.

"Lord Zhongyongwei wants to personally help the subordinates in the mansion to propose?" After hearing this, Zhu Zhe said in surprise: "This is the first time I have heard of such a thing. ”

"I have always regarded him as a friend, and I asked Mr. Zhu to come forward to help." Li Xuanba looked unhappy and said lightly.

Zhu Zhe realized that he had said the wrong thing, accompanied by a smiling face, and said, "How dare you bother the adults to come to the door in person for this little thing?" As long as the lord sends someone to give an order, the old man will be ready to send at any time. ”

"Mr. Zhu is polite." Li Xuanba's face softened, and he said: "Most of the big families who moved from Dongjun have dealings with you, and Xuanba wants to ask Mr. Zhu to come forward and invite them to accompany Xuanba to come to the door to propose marriage." ”

"It's not difficult." Zhu Zhe agreed without hesitation, and said: "Please also tell me the time and whose house to go to." ”

"Before the time, go to Lixingfang Du Mansion to exchange money." Li Xuan thanked him domineeringly and said, "Time is a little rushed, there is Mr. Lao Zhu." ”

"Your Excellency is gracious." Zhu Zhe replied with a smile.

Li Xuanba stood in front of the door of Zhu's mansion, finished talking about the matter, and hurriedly said goodbye, Zhu Zhe repeatedly retained, but was pushed away by Li Xuanba, and in desperation, he could only let Li Xuanba leave.

In the middle of the carriage, Li Xuanba rubbed his head a little tiredly. Li Jiuzhi sat opposite Li Xuanba, looking a little restless, in stark contrast to Liang Xiao beside him.

"You followed Li Gou to learn martial arts, how did you even learn his temperament?" Li Xuanba rubbed it for a while, feeling a lot more relaxed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Jiuzhi's appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "Say whatever you want." ”

"Nine fingers admire Childe from the bottom of my heart." Li Jiuzhi sat up a little straighter, and said with a look of reverence: "The masters of those big families are arrogant on weekdays, but in front of the son, they are as well-behaved as quails. After a pause, he continued: "But there is something that Jiuzhi can't figure out, how can Master Zhu be sure that others are willing to help?" ”

Liang Xiao didn't say a word, but his head was slightly raised, obviously wanting to know the answer.

"In Luoyang City, there is no shortage of rich people." Li Xuanba replied: "No matter how rich the Zhu family and those big families are, it is impossible to compare with the big families in Luoyang, if they want to take root in Luoyang, they must find a support, what can be more in line with their hearts than Gongzi and me?" ”

"I understand, Childe wants to borrow their power, and they also want to touch Childe's light." Li Jiuzhi suddenly realized: "No wonder Master Zhu agreed without hesitation. Liang Xiao reacted a little slowly, and when he understood, he lowered his head in silence, as if he was not interested in these things at all.

"Remember, there is no such thing as a meal that does not cost money." Li Xuanba looked at Li Jiuzhi and Liang Xiao, and said in a flat tone: "It's like the Tang State Mansion to accommodate you, not because you have a poor background, but because I hope you can serve the Tang State Mansion and the imperial court in the future." ”

"Nine Fingers only works for Childe." Li Jiuzhi replied.

Liang Xiao tilted his head, seemed to think for a moment, and then said, "Liang Xiao is also willing to serve his son." ”
