For the sake of their children's future, parents can endure hardships, eat chaff, and even give everything, and Xu Gai is the same for Xu Maogong's future. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Li saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, I was going to kidnap Xu Maogong. If he really wants to worship his cheap father as a teacher, Liu Li is his senior brother, and Xu Maogong dares not to help him? If Xu Maogong dares not to help him, let the cheap father remove him from the door wall.
Ha ha! So beautiful! Liu Li really wanted to laugh out loud.
However, this matter also had to make Xu Gai realize that it was not easy, so he appreciated it even more.
"What? Uncle is not satisfied? Liu Li asked knowingly.
"No, no, no." Xu Gai shook his hands wildly, very excited, and said: "Liu Da's talent is extraordinary, the first emperor held the imperial examination, and he was selected by the first emperor with his own talent, which is admirable." The most admirable thing is that Lord Liu is an honest official, does not accept bribes, and does not embezzle. There are not many Qing officials like Lord Liu, looking at the entire Great Sui. If the world can worship under him, it will be a blessing that he has cultivated for eight lifetimes. ”
Liu Yu is both talented and a Qing official, his official reputation is very good, whether it is in the court or the people, he has a group of fans, and Xu Gai is also one of them. When he thought that Xu Maogong wanted to worship Liu Yu as his teacher, he was excited.
"Having said that, my father's vision is too high, and ordinary people really can't get into his eyes, but I don't know if Ling Gongzi can be favored by him." Liu Li began to sell well.
This guy is really shameless, obviously he wants to do this, and use Liu Yu to kidnap Xu Maogong to his side, but he still has to take care of it, and let Xu Gai beg him.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the eagerness in Xu Gai's eyes began to fade, and he said with some regret: "Yes, yes, yes." Although Shiyun is good, after all, he is a child in a small place, and he may not be able to enter the eyes of Lord Liu. ”
If Xu Maogong can't get into the eyes of a cheap father, who else can? If that's the case, it's because the cheap daddy has a problem with his vision, and it's going to be thunderous.
Although Xu Gai is a good person, after all, he is a businessman, and he is from a small place in Caozhou, how can he compare with Chang'an. Besides, Liu Yu was a famous minister in the Sui Dynasty, and his requirements for accepting apprentices would be very high, even with Xu Gai's confidence in Xu Maogong, he had to beat the drum in his heart.
"My father is now idle at home, with nothing to do, and all day long except for cultivation is to visit friends, if he can accept disciples, it may not be a good thing." Liu Li's words changed, and he left hope for Xu Gai, and said: "Uncle Xu, we fell in love, and we hit it off at first sight, or I will help you talk about it." ”
This guy is full of running trains, what kind of fate, what is the same at first sight, it is all nonsense, he made friends with Xu Gai for Xu Maogong, and he took the strategy of saving the country with a curve.
"If Liu Gongzi can really do this, there will be a good reward." Xu Gai stood up and wanted to pay a big salute.
Xu Maogong is such a genius, if he can worship Liu Yu, he will be carefully trained, and his future is extremely wonderful, as a father, Xu Gai can't help but be grateful.
Liu Li hurriedly stopped, smiled very kindly, and said, "Uncle Xu, don't do it, don't do it." If Shiyun can really worship my father, he and I will be brothers, and you will become my uncle. If you give such a big gift, it will be my birthday. ”
"Please also ask Liu Gongzi Yucheng to do this." Xu Gai looked at Liu Li blankly, for fear that he would not agree.
"Although the little nephew is not talented, he still has the heart of adult beauty. Since my uncle has so much confidence in the world, then I will tell my father. Liu Li said with a smile: "When you get home, your uncle has to be closer to your father, so that your father has a good impression of you, and this matter will be easy to do." ”
As long as Xu Gai and Liu Yu are more cordial, they have to curry favor with Liu Yu, and the final result is not only that Xu Maogong will be kidnapped by Liu Li, but that the Xu family in Caozhou will also be kidnapped by him. This fight is a good calculation.
"Definitely, definitely." Xu Gai was overjoyed.
Being able to deal with an official like Liu Yu who is talented, learned, famous, and has a very good reputation is something he can't ask for.
In this way, Xu Gai followed Liu Li to Liu's mansion with hope.
Liu Li asked, Liu Yu was out of the customs and was in the pavilion. So, Liu Li took Xu Gai upside down and found that the cheap dad was pouring himself a drink, looking like he was happy and taoran, his face was full of joy, and it seemed that there was something big.
"Daddy, why are you so happy?" Liu Li asked.
"Huh." Liu Yu smiled before he said a word, and said, "Li'er, my father will break through in the near future and become a wise man." ”
Becoming a wise man has been Liu Yu's wish for decades. A scholar is only one step away from a magi, however, his strength is far apart, and it can be said that ten scholars are not as good as one magi. Correspondingly, the social status of the Magi was much higher, and both their fortune and fame would soar.
"Congratulations to Dad." Liu Li thought that Liu Yu was in a good mood, and he could take this opportunity to get Xu Maogong done.
"Huh." Liu Yu waved his hand, looked at Liu Li with a smile and said, "If it weren't for Li'er, my father wouldn't have broken through so quickly." ”
Liu Yuka has been a scholar for many years, and the reason why he has not broken through is because he has no cultivation treasures. Last time, Liu Li played the autumn wind with Yang Su, and the harvest was huge, and he couldn't use it because he had that strange stone. gave these cultivation resources to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu was about to break through.
"Dad, we are a family, what do you share with mine." Liu Li smiled: "Dad, there is a question, have you ever thought about it?" ”
"What's the problem? You mean what I did when I became a Magi, right? Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll talk about this later." ”
Liu Yu is now idle at home, and after becoming a wise man, his social status will rise sharply, whether to return to the court to be an official or do something else, he really hasn't thought about it. It is not impossible to return to the DPRK to become an official, and with the lofty status of a wise man, it is completely possible. However, the last time Li resigned from Sui, it hurt his heart too much, and with Liu Li training from it, he was not very enthusiastic about returning to the court to be an official.
"Dad, your learning is good, and you are about to become a Magi, and you don't have a disciple yet, isn't it a pity?" Liu Li reminded.
"yes." Liu Yu patted his forehead and said suddenly: "In the past, I have been busy with official business, and now it's time to consider accepting a disciple." ”
His eyes looked at Liu Li, and said with a smile: "Li'er, Dad will accept you as an apprentice." Dad doesn't have any other skills, this poetry book is passable, everyone doesn't dare to say it, as long as you learn it thoroughly, the future is immeasurable. ”
This is really not a boast, Liu Yu relied on his talent and learning, achieved fame, and became a doctor from the third grade.
Liu Li thought angrily, if I learn those poetry books of yours, I won't become a nerd? It's not impossible to be loyal to the monarch and love the country, it depends on who is loyal, if you are loyal to others, you can't be loyal to others, and it's good to be loyal to me. You should train more disciples for me.
When Xu Gai heard this, he was very nervous, for fear that Liu Li would agree, in that case, there would be nothing to do with Xu Maogong.
"Dad, you know, I'm not interested in the art of poetry and calligraphy, so you might as well choose another disciple." Liu Li refused.
If modern people want to learn poetry and books, is it possible to be loyal to the king? Patriotism is not a problem, but it is not a country of love and one surname, but China.
Xu Gai listened, and his hanging heart relaxed, fortunately, Liu Li didn't rob Xu Maogong.
"Hey." Liu Yu sighed, very sorry, and said: "Li'er, you are extraordinary, far-reaching, and thorough, if you add poetry and books, you will become a great tool, and you will be a famous minister of the Great Sui generation." ”
Famous ministers!
How many more years can the Sui Dynasty exist? This cheap dad is still full of loyal thoughts, this is unacceptable, I will find time to brainwash you again, so that you can emancipate your mind.
"Dad, this is Uncle Xu Gai Xu of Caozhou." Liu Li introduced Xu Gai.
Xu Gai hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted: "Xu Gai has seen Lord Liu." ”
"Adults don't dare to be, I'm white now." Liu Yu replied: "Liu Yu has seen Brother Xu. ”
The words were very cordial, without the slightest official pretension, which made Xu Gai feel relaxed for a while. A person like Liu Yu has an official frame and arrogance, which is what he should be, but he doesn't, which is rare, which makes Xu Gaida happy from the bottom of his heart. If you really want Xu Maogong to worship under his door, it must be a beautiful thing.
"Brother Xu, please take a seat." Liu Yu asked sideways.
"Lord Liu, please." Xu Gai returned the salute and sat opposite Liu Yu.
Liu Li also sat down, picked up the wine jug, poured wine for Liu Yu, and then poured it for Xu Gai, and said with a smile: "Dad, what kind of disciples do you want to accept, I will look for you." ”
As soon as he heard this, Xu Gai's heart that he had just put down rose again, could Xu Mao become Liu Yu's disciple?
"Conduct is the first priority." Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and said: "Since ancient times, there have been many talented and unvirtuous people, and the disaster is very serious. The king of the Emperor is not talentless, but has great talent, and his intelligence is difficult for people to reach. But there is not enough character to control his talents, which is the disaster of the country. Therefore, my disciples, must be led by virtue. ”
"Lord Liu is high-minded, and Xu Gai admires." Liu Yu's remarks are indeed correct, no matter what era they are, they cannot be denied, and they can be said to be a universal truth.
Throughout the ages, there have been many talented people, but there are many fewer talented and virtuous people. A person who is talented but not virtuous will cause great disaster. This kind of person is endless.
Brother Xu smiled. Liu Yu continued: "Secondly, you must be smart, otherwise, you are not worthy of being my disciple." ”
He requires both ability and political integrity, which is really difficult.
"Dad, you're too harsh." Liu Lixin said that this would scare Xu Gai.
Sure enough, Xu Gai's face was nervous, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and he must have thought in his heart that Xu Maogong's talisman did not meet Liu Yu's requirements.
"Not harsh, not harsh at all." Liu Yu was very proud and said: "Looking at the world, my poetry and calligraphy art can also be counted, if I am not smart enough, I can't pass on my mantle." ”
After Emperor Wen of Sui ascended the throne, he abolished the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng" official selection system implemented during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and conducted the imperial examination. He has been an emperor for more than 20 years, and the number of imperial examinations held is not much, and those who can pass the examination are the elite of the elite. Liu Yu's words are really not blowing, they are the truth.
"Dad, Uncle Xu has a son, who is very smart, although Caozhou is a small place, there are many famous teachers and Confucians, but no one can teach him, what do you think?" Liu Li got down to business.
Xu Gai was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, staring at Liu Yu, eager to know what he thought.
"Oh?" Liu Yu was a little surprised and said, "There is such an extraordinary boy in the world? ”
"Lord Liu doesn't know that although my son is young, he is very smart. I invited famous teachers and Confucians in Caozhou, a total of thirteen, and no one could teach him for more than two months. Xu Gai was particularly proud and said, "In less than two months, my son has finished all the mathematics they have learned." ”
"Caozhou is a small place, and the so-called famous teachers and Confucians are just like that, and it is not difficult to learn what they have learned. It is not enough for such a person to want to be my disciple. Liu Yu shook his head and said.
Xu Gai's face was disappointed, and his eyes were full of loss.
He came with hope, and sincerely hoped that Liu Yu could accept Xu Maogong as a disciple, but he didn't expect that Liu Yu's vision was too high to be able to. At this time, Xu Gai only felt that the whole world was gray.
