Chapter 38: The Secret
"Old man Han, you are wrong, the kid didn't come to talk to you about the conditions when he said these words, but he came to listen to Ling Qianjin. If you always think that the kid can abandon the person in his heart in the past for the sake of Ling Qianjin today, then you don't worry that one day the kid will be able to meet a better lady than Ling Qianjin, and he will also abandon Ling Qianjin. Oh, I'm just making an analogy, we Datang definitely won't have many women who can beat Ling Qianjin. Besides, Old Man Han, this Confucian saint has never implemented monogamy, oh, by the way, I ask you an old digression, dare to ask how many wives and concubines you have? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you still need to take care of the old man's life problems. It's a pity that my little girl's mother died early, leaving the old man and the little girl to rely on each other. Over the years, although my little daughter has never said anything, she has never suffered less in her heart. You say, how can you let the old man hand her over to someone who can't treat her wholeheartedly? ”
Banana that Bara, this old guy turns out to be a daughter-in-law for the rest of his life, what do I say? But then he can't ask Lao Tzu to follow this just because he is like this. Besides, my family's Meng Yao is not necessarily worse than you, the daughter of the scholarly Han family. Hey, how impermanent this world is, it's obviously a feudal society, but Lao Tzu still has a headache for these polygamy problems.
"This, I think it's better to ask Ling Qianjin's opinion in person, anyway, boy, I didn't say anything about my character. At the very least, the kid will never let the person he likes be hurt in the slightest, not at all. And the kid thinks that in fact, a teapot does need several teacups to match. ”
"Hehe, you kid will make comparisons with things. The old man asked you, if my little girl had a conflict with other confidantes around you, which side would you help? But seeing that our old man Han didn't laugh angrily, he asked Li Tianyu with interest.
"This, to be honest, Old Man Han, I really didn't expect you to ask such a question today." It's noisy, Lao Tzu is now a little suspicious of how this old guy's scholarly Han family deceived him? Judging from what he said to Lao Tzu today, Lao Tzu couldn't see that he looked like a respected old master from a scholarly family.
"You kid don't talk nonsense, I just ask you and you just say. These are all related to the lifelong happiness of the little girl, do you say that the old man can be sloppy? "But seeing our old man Han, he was also a little embarrassed after hearing Li Tianyu's words, and he couldn't save face.
"Yes, Old Man Han loves his daughter very much, understandable, understandable. In fact, your boss can rest assured that the daughter you taught yourself is naturally the most aware of it. Do you say that Ling Qianjin is the kind of person who will go to find trouble when he has nothing to do? Oh, don't be in a hurry to get angry and wait for the boy to finish speaking. Since Ling Qianjin would definitely not be this kind of person, then naturally such a thing would not happen. Because the kid won't allow the woman who has nothing to do with him. Take 10,000 steps back, even if something like this happens, that kid will definitely help Ling Qianjin. Because as the saying goes, help is not helpful! You said, Mr. Han, if this matter were changed to you, how would you deal with it? Li Tianyu's answer was extremely ingenious, not only invisibly dismantling the question of the old man Han, but also patting him on the back. It was equivalent to not answering anything, but let this old man Han hear the answer he wanted to hear.
"You seem to be a bit clever now, but don't use it for bad things. By the way, the old man hasn't asked you yet, you keep saying that you already have a sweetheart. I wonder if these two women who came to the house today have a relationship? ”
"This, I, I, I'm not very clear. Maybe there will be in the future, but maybe there won't, anyway, it's okay for the time being. "It's noisy, Liu Ruoran's little girl is actually quite good, but Lao Tzu still doesn't know her and her father's attitude. Therefore, Lao Tzu can't jump to conclusions now.
"You, you, you kid means that there are other people in your heart, and these two women who came today are still entangled with you." But seeing that our old man Han was so angry that he was about to blow up his lungs.
"I said Old Man Han, no matter how you say this, these are also the boy's private life, it seems that it has nothing to do with your old man. Besides, won't the emperor's old man return the three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and three thousand harem beauties? What successful man doesn't have a bunch of women behind him? "Banana, you Barra, Lao Tzu knows that you old guy loves his daughter, but you can't interfere with Lao Tzu's private life for the sake of your family's daughter, besides, after this matter is done, Lao Tzu will marry your daughter, not you, and you old guy will worry about it.
"Even if you kid dare to compare with the emperor, what kind of successful man has a bunch of women behind him, it's all a fallacy."
"Fallacy is fallacy, in short, old man Han, the kid will leave the words here today, if Ling Qianjin also has affection for me Li Tianyu, I, Li Tianyu, swear that I will never live up to Ling Qianjin." But if Old Man Han is bent on achieving his will by interfering in the kid's life, then it is really a kid who doesn't have this great blessing. ”
"Hey, it's really still an old man. Do you know what the old man thought when he saw you for the first time that day? What the old man thought in his heart was that today he should take a good look at what is unusual about this recently famous Li Fu Gongzi in Yangzhou? However, it was not until today that the old man found out that the old man had read countless people in his life, and the least thorough one was your kid. Anyway, since you kid is so stubborn, then the old man can't say anything anymore. However, there is one thing you have to promise the old man. ”
"Then Old Man Han, what do you mean by that...... Don't say it's one o'clock, it's half past twelve, and the kid will agree. "Banana, has Lao Tzu succeeded? Is it considered that he has successfully recruited a family for himself?
"Really? Don't say yes too soon. If you want to be with a daughter of my family, then you must cut off any contact with this young lady of the Liu family! ”
"What?! Cut off contact with the young lady of the Liu family?! Why?! But after hearing the words of the old man Han, Li Tianyu felt like a thunderbolt sounding in the clear sky above him.
"No why? Do you say yes or no? ”
"This, Old Man Han, I really can't agree with the boy. But the kid took the liberty of asking, why do you have to stop me from interacting with Ruoran? Is this what you mean by being old or by Miss Han? Could it be that if you are in your old scholarly Han family, you are so unpopular? Or does Miss Han not like Ruoran? ”
How can this be? Did this old man Han's head accidentally be poured into the wind when he entered the door? Judging from my sharp eyes and my understanding of Liu Ruoran these days, this chick can be regarded as a generous and intelligent second-generation official. It just so happens to be Lao Tzu's confidante in this year, and it is said that Lao Tzu had thought about making her a big wife one day. What does Old Man Han say, Lao Tzu can't agree to this request.
"What does it mean to be an old man? What does it mean to be a little girl? You kid don't be too careful, you know, but there are not a few people in Jiangsu who come to propose to my Han family every day. ”
Yaxingda, why has it become Lao Tzu again? Wow, there are a lot of people in Jiangsu who propose to your Han family every day, so are there fewer beauties who come to the Li Mansion every two days to ask Lao Tzu? Really, why does this old guy look more and more beyond Lao Tzu's imagination now? Banana that Bara, if this continues, I don't know if I will transfer all my disgust for this old guy to Miss Han.
"Old man Han, if these words are just what you mean, then the kid will be regarded as the back of his ear just now, and he didn't hear it, and please ask your daughter to come out for an interview. If this is what Ling Qianjin means, then please forgive me Li Tianyu for being difficult to obey. In addition, old man, this love is not a business, you can sell it if you want to. ”
"Vulgar! Who's trading with you bastard! So what if the old man's meaning is my family's Di'er's meaning? But seeing our old man Han, he was a little angry after hearing Li Tianyu's last sentence. The status of the scholars in these years was the highest, and the status of the merchants was also the lowest. So the gentleman has always been far from the mall and the kitchen.
"Then if you keep saying that, then it can be regarded as my Li Tianyu really not having this Yanfu again. I'm sorry, Uncle Han! The kid suddenly felt a little tightness in his chest and shortness of breath now, so he took his leave. I saw that Li Tianyu had already gotten up and walked towards the door after saying goodbye to Old Man Han.
"Come back! Are you kid holding a grudge against the old man now? ”
"No, no, absolutely nothing. It is understandable that Old Man Han loves his daughter, and it happens that everyone has their own values, and it is normal that the values of the boy and Old Man Han cannot be unified. So when it comes to this, no one is wrong, the kid can only say that this is fate! ”
"Let me ask you, do you know the origin of the old man's 'scholarly Han family'?"
"This, I think it's because the old gentleman's ancestors have been in the Tang Dynasty for three generations, and I miss you as a talented scholar like you. Therefore, the emperor personally gave you the plaque of the 'scholarly Han family'. ”
"Looks like you don't know. What you said is just seen by outsiders, in fact, the reason why my Han family was crowned by the emperor as the 'scholarly Han family' is because the ancestors of my Han family have never really been officials. But since the ancestors, most of the protégés every year have been officials. Although most of them were placed in the local officials, they were all in good order. However, as early as the reign of the first emperor, a protégé cultivated by the ancestors of my Han family was killed in an attempt during an incident, which almost endangered the safety of my Han family at that time. Since then, the ancestors of my Han family have set up an ancestral motto, if in the future, if I want to accept protégés before the heirs of my Han family, I must set a door rule, and from the moment the protégé becomes an official, I will have no relationship with my Han family. So that's why my Han family has never had anything to do with this officialdom for many years, so it's called the 'scholarly Han family'. I believe that with such a smart mind as you, you can also guess some eyebrows about what the old man said before, right? ”
It's noisy, when the first emperor was in power, wasn't that Li Yuanda, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Incident? Wow Ka Ka, judging from Lao Tzu's experience in reading history books in later generations, anything mixed with these two words is generally a big event. It is said that the more famous incident during the reign of Li Yuanda and Li Shimin was a "Xuanwumen Incident". Could it be that the incident that Old Man Han said was the Xuanwumen incident? Bananas, isn't this incident launched by Li Shimin? But Old Man Han now says that one of his protégés of the Han family almost endangered the safety of his Han family, and it seems that the protégé's position is very opposite to Li Shimin, and it is ......
But seeing that Li Tianyu's face changed a little after thinking of this, ahh But now it is Li Shimin who has said everything, so if this is the case, how can his old man come to personally canonize the official position of this old man Han, and he also gave the mansion, and the troublesome is still the mansion of the prince of the previous dynasty. It's too damn subtle, isn't it?
"This, Mr. Han, why do you keep telling me this? What does it mean that the kid didn't understand a word? But the kid doesn't want to ask about that, so let's talk about something else, okay? Old man Han? After thinking of some of the terrible things, our Li Tianyu didn't dare to express any more opinions, so he pretended to be crazy and stupid.
"Okay, then let's talk about the old man and me. Do you know why the emperor made the old man an official knight this time? Is it a title? ”
"I think this is because the emperor has a good eye for talent. However, a humerus talent like you is definitely a Beijing official above the second grade. ”
"Well, the old man will tell you that in fact, the reason why the old man was made an official by the emperor this time is all due to one person."
"Who?"
"That person is the current governor of Jiangsu, Liu Yunlong."
"This, this, this is a good thing, it shows that this Lord Liu loves him like his life, and he can't be an official because you can't be an official."
"Hehe, do you think the same as that outsider? Then do you know what position this Lord Liu recommended to the emperor to take on the old man? ”
"This, the little nature doesn't know. But it's a small guess that it should be the kokuko priest wine or something. ”
"Wrong, what Lord Liu recommended to the emperor was the position of the crown prince and the prince. How do you say this makes the old man? ”
Li Tianyu couldn't help but gasp after hearing the words of this old man Han. Yaxingda, the Han family itself has almost suffered because of the princes' seizure of the heir. Now let this old man Han be the prince and the prince, isn't this obviously embarrassing old man Han? Others don't know, but I know best, the last emperor of the next generation is not our crown prince Li Chengqian, but the third oldest Li Zhi. Of course, they certainly won't know about these things. But I don't think that Liu Yunlong seems to be such a big bad person?
"So Mr. Han, you resigned from the official position given by the emperor, and then got the 'scholarly Han family' from the emperor, and finally came to Yangzhou, so that now you are talking to the kid here."
"Then what do you think of these things about the old man?"
"This, the kid naturally doesn't dare to comment on it. But the kid thinks that the old gentleman is not doing a good job at all, as the saying goes, this 'companion is like a tiger', you can always choose to return to Yangzhou to recuperate in the future, that is the most correct. Oh, I didn't mean you were old now. If you keep doing this, the emperor won't be at ease with your old age. Therefore, the Han family will also be given the title of 'scholarly Han family'. ”
"Hehe, I have to say that you kid is still a little naïve. So have you ever heard of why this Liu Yunlong was sent to Yangzhou by the emperor to be the governor of Liangjiang? ”
"This, I can't remember clearly, I seem to remember what the prince's reason is, wait a minute, old man Han, do you mean...... "It's noisy, it's too fake, is this Liu Yunlong sent by the emperor to monitor the scholarly Han family, or is this Liu Yunlong also sent to Yangzhou by the emperor because of the prince's inheritance, so as to warn him to return here like the Han family to reflect and reflect."
Yaxingda, you said that you officials usually play something, and you have to come to play these dragons to win the heir. Don't you know that this Li Shimin, who is now sitting on the throne, is the heir who has taken it over? Why do you still talk about these things all day long? Do you really think that after you succeed, you can be a founding hero? Banana you Barra, the history books have long been placed there, history has long been a reality, and reality will become history. How can you allow a small grain of sand in the long river of history to be changed? Of course, Lao Tzu should be an exception.
"To be honest, the old man still doesn't know very well what the purpose of this Lord Liu being sent to Yangzhou this time is. Maybe it really has nothing to do with the old man. But no matter what, the old man is worthy of the ancestors of my scholarly Han family, and worthy of his conscience. ”
