Chapter 3: Debut
In the early morning, the yard is full of birds, and occasionally you can hear a few dogs barking, which is really a pleasant morning.
Li Yingjun was lamenting how there could be such a beautiful morning in the world when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who's that?"
"Childe, are you up? I'm here to bring you water. Satsuki said shyly outside the door.
Li Yingjun slowly got up from the bed, stretched, walked over and opened the door.
"So early, Satsuki." Li Yingjun said with a smile.
When Xiaoyue saw Li Yingjun greeting her, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she whispered, "Childe is early." ”
"Xiaoyue, don't be so embarrassed, be casual in the future."
"Yes, Childe."
Satsuki put the washbasin on the shelf, gave a salute and went out.
Li Yingjun hurriedly washed his face, but unfortunately there was no toothbrush and toothpaste in ancient times, so he could only rinse his mouth with water.
Li Yingjun thought to himself: "You don't need to brush your teeth to save trouble, as the so-called gains must be lost, with such a big bargain, it is worth losing some small things." ”
After using it early, Jiang Youcai instructed Xiaoyue to help Li Yingjun dress up and go to see Master He in good spirits.
When Li Yingjun heard that there were still people waiting for him to dress up, he thought: "It's still comfortable to be an ancient, and you can ask others to do everything for you." However, the modern rich too! One! Root! Read! The novel xstxt is like this; Therefore, whether it is ancient or modern, money is king! ”
Li Yingjun followed Jiang Youcai out of the gate of Jiangfu, and saw a luxurious carriage parked at the gate.
Li Yingjun helped Jiang Youcai into the carriage first, and then entered the carriage himself.
A coachman drove the carriage, and the big bear rode a horse, following behind the carriage, and the group of people rushed towards Lord He's mansion.
"Dad, how big is this Lord He?"
"Lord He Yuandao is the parent official of Fanyang Mansion, the official worships the order of Fanyang Mansion, the biggest official of Fanyang Mansion is General Li Yuanyi, the official worships the envoy of Fanyang Mansion, and leads Hebei Province, General Li Yuanyi is the descendant of Li Jing, the founding general of the dynasty, and their Li family inherits this position."
After Jiang Youcai said this, he glanced at Li Yingjun before continuing: "Although Lord He's daughter is ugly, she is a beautiful lady after all, and the marriage between our two families is also more conducive to the development of the Jiang family here." Therefore, this family business must be accomplished, and you must dare to run away from home again for this matter, and see that I do not break your legs. ”
"Everything is up to Dad's arrangement."
Jiang Youcai saw that Li Yingjun had become well-behaved and obedient, and he couldn't help but smile on his face and nodded frequently.
Li Yingjun thought to himself: "This Jiang Gongzi would rather run away from home than marry this Miss He, which shows how shabby this Miss He looks." But the aesthetic concept of the Tang Dynasty is very different from the modern aesthetic concept, just like my appearance is extremely ugly in the eyes of modern people, but in the eyes of Tang Dynasty people, it is still a talent. Therefore, this Miss He was said to be ugly by the Tang Dynasty, and she should be a big beauty in modern times. ”
When Li Yingjun thought of this, his heart became excited.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped, and Da Xiong quickly turned over and dismounted, came to the side of the carriage and helped Jiang Youcai get off the carriage.
When Jiang Youcai got off the carriage, Li Yingjun also jumped off the carriage.
Li Yingjun lifted the gift placed on the carriage, felt that the weight was very heavy, and thought: "It seems that Jiang Youcai is really willing to pay the capital." ”
Li Yingjun raised his eyes to look, but saw that the Fanyang Mansion was very grandiose, and there were two catchers standing guard at the gate.
Lord He's housekeeper had already greeted Jiang Youcai at the gate, and when he saw the carriage coming, he greeted him, and directly led Jiang Youcai and Li Yingjun into the mansion, and Da Xiong and the coachman were also waiting outside the mansion.
Walked into the mansion, passed through the front hall, came to the backyard, and entered a living room.
The housekeeper motioned for Jiang Youcai and Li Yingjun to sit down first, and the maid of the He Mansion also served tea.
After a while, He Yuandao walked into the living room.
Li Yingjun looked at He Yuandao, but saw that He Yuandao's hair was a little gray, and his figure was also a little fat, but he was full of energy, and he had the temperament of a mature man at first glance.
He Yuandao came to Jiang Youcai's side with a smile, and Jiang Youcai immediately stood up from his seat.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, they sat down separately.
Li Yingjun directly sent the gift up, He Yuandao didn't open it to see, so he directly asked the housekeeper to take it in.
"Master Jiang is polite, I don't know where my nephew went a few days ago?" He Yuandao came up and asked directly.
Li Yingjun didn't expect He Yuandao to ask himself this question, so he simply made up a lie and said: "The little nephew has always wanted to go outside for a while, but he was afraid that he would have to take care of his wife and children when he became a family, and he would not have time to go out for a tour, so he said goodbye to wandering outside." The little nephew has seen a lot along the way, and has also suffered hardships, and deeply realized the love of my father and Lord He for me, so I hurried home. ”
"Well, I'm really impressed. Someone's coming, call the young lady out. ”
As soon as Li Yingjun heard that the young lady was called out, his heart began to pound, after all, this was the first blind date, and he was still a little nervous.
"Lord He looks at the Jiang family, and has the intention to recruit a dog as a son-in-law, it is really the luck of the Jiang family, the luck of the dog, and the luck of old decay!"
Jiang Youcai said three lucky things in a row, obviously giving He Yuandao enough face.
"What Master Jiang said is too polite, we can be regarded as the right family, we will all be a family in the future, and everyone should take care of each other!" He Yuandao said these words with a little pride.
Li Yingjun thought to himself: "I have long heard that marriage in ancient times was to serve interests, and there was no free love. However, there are many people in modern times whose marriages are also in the service of interests. So, no matter what era it is, many things should be the same. ”
Li Yingjun was thinking about it, and Miss He walked into the living room.
Li Yingjun tried his best to widen his small eyes, his eyes were all on Miss He, and after careful inspection, the figure was absolutely nothing to say, which could be described as a devil's figure; After carefully examining Miss He's face, I looked at her facial features one by one, it is an absolutely exquisite sign, and it is absolutely no problem to marry home as a wife.
When Li Yingjun saw that Miss He was an out-and-out beauty, he thought: "This is really picking up the lady and picking up the soldiers!" Compared with Zhou Yu's loss of his wife and soldiers, I have made a lot of money. ”
Miss He came in and gave Jiang Youcai a salute and gave Li Yingjun a smile.
Li Yingjun saw Miss He smiling at him, and thought to himself: "Is this the so-called eyebrow flirtation?" ”
Li Yingjun suddenly felt that he was living in incomparable happiness.
Jiang Youcai nodded at Miss He, and Li Yingjun also smiled at Miss He.
Li Yingjun saw Miss He's face full of happy smiles, and thought, "Is this the so-called love at first sight?" Li Yingjun recalled that when he was in Shanghai, although Han Bing was very beautiful, they often went to play together. However, Han Bing didn't have the feeling that Miss He gave him, is this what love feels like? Li Yingjun couldn't figure it out, because he had no experience in love at all.
"Xiangxue, you lead your nephew to the back garden for a walk, and I'll talk to you Uncle Jiang alone."
"Yes." He Xiangxue said softly.
Li Yingjun understood that He Yuandao was creating an opportunity for them to be alone, so he happily understood, got up to give gifts to He Yuandao and Jiang Youcai, and then followed He Xiangxue and walked out of the living room.
Lee Young-joon is suddenly nervous, although he often goes out alone with beautiful women.
However, he didn't know why he was so nervous this time? So much so that he didn't know what to say, so he chose to be silent, just walked silently behind He Xiangxue, looking at her ** back, his deer began to collide even more.
"Do you like to write poetry?" He Xiangxue turned around and asked.
When Li Yingjun heard He Xiangxue's words, he thought to himself: "Tang poetry is indeed famous for later generations, this He Xiangxue won't ask me to compose poems on the spot, right?" Although I am engaged in copywriting and planning, it is still difficult to compose poems on the spot! Besides, there are not a few Cao Zijian in the world, how can he become a poem in seven steps at once. ”
"Of course I like to write poetry, and everyone who reads books likes to write poetry." Li Yingjun was worried that if he said no, wouldn't he make He Xiangxue look down on him. In this way, where is his glorious image? Therefore, I replied with a hard head.
"Really? Would you like to write me a poem? ”
Li Yingjun felt that it was really as he expected, He Xiangxue asked him to compose a poem straight to the point, it seems that if he doesn't write a poem, he will make a big fool today.
Li Yingjun looked at the back garden, looking for some inspiration for poetry, but he couldn't find any inspiration.
However, Li Yingjun suddenly remembered: "He Xiangxue is from the Tang Dynasty, so she must not know the famous poems written by the great poets and great poets of the later dynasties." ”
Li Yingjun tried his best to recall the beautiful poems he had read before, and finally reminded him of the famous sentence of Liu Yong, a graceful lyricist in the Song Dynasty: "I will never regret the gradual widening of the clothes belt, and I will make people haggard for Yi." ”
"It's rare for Miss He to be so elegant, so I'll be ugly." Li Yingjun pretended to be deep and said.
Li Yingjun deliberately pretended to think deeply, paced carefully in the back garden, and only after a long time did he groan: "Leaning on the garden breeze, who will rely on the will; The belt gradually widened and did not regret it, and it made people haggard for Yi. ”
Li Yingjun directly moved out Liu Yong's "Butterfly Loves Flowers, Leaning on the Dangerous Building", but changed it to a seven-character quatrain.
He Xiangxue softly read the poem Li Yingjun had just read, read it several times in a row, and said: "I don't regret it when my clothes are getting wider, and I will make people haggard for Yi. I don't know who Jiang Gongzi will make people haggard? ”
Li Yingjun understood what He Xiangxue meant. However, he didn't plan to tell her directly that a faint lovesickness was sometimes better than anything else.
"Does Miss Ho like this poem?"
"I like it very much."
"Then give it to Miss He as a meeting gift."
"I didn't expect Jiang Gongzi to be so talented, and ・・・・・・"
He Xiangxue didn't say the rest of the words, but Li Yingjun already knew what she was going to say.
"We've been out for a while, and my father and uncle should have finished talking, so let's go back."
"Okay, Miss He, please."
Lee Young-jun makes some very gentlemanly movements that he learned when he used to watch TV. However, he used to laugh at these people and say that they were well-dressed beasts. I don't want to, I actually did it today, and I did it very seriously, I really don't know if it's a brain in water.
Li Yingjun and He Xiangxue walked into the living room, and saw He Yuandao and Jiang Youcai chatting happily while drinking tea, and they didn't know what they were doing.
When He Yuandao saw Li Yingjun and He Xiangxue walking in, he immediately put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Xiangxue, you go down first, I have something to tell my nephew." ”
He Xiangxue gave He Yuandao a salute, then walked to Jiang Youcai's side to give a salute, and finally gave Li Yingjun a look, a smile, and walked down.
Li Yingjun felt that although He Xiangxue had disappeared in front of him, her smile always appeared in his eyes, and she couldn't hide it for a long time.
"Virtuous nephew, the old man has the heart to let you enter the officialdom, now there is a good opportunity, are you willing to be an official?" He Yuandao asked eagerly.
When Li Yingjun heard this, he was overjoyed, and thought: "When I was in Shanghai, I wanted to take the civil service exam and contribute to the country, but unfortunately I was unlucky and never got my wish." Now that he can be an official, he can't ask for it. ”
"It's great to be able to serve the imperial court, but I don't know what my father means?" Li Yingjun deliberately hid the ecstasy in his heart and said.
"Master Jiang agrees very much."
Li Yingjun glanced at Jiang Youcai, saw him nodded, and said, "Everything is arranged by Lord He." ”
"Recently, a group of strongmen have come out of Xishan, as long as the virtuous nephew has a title and goes to suppress them, the old man can go directly to Jiedu to ask General Li for an official."
"But I don't know martial arts, and I can't lead troops, so I'm afraid that the soldiers will be dissatisfied, right?"
"This virtuous nephew doesn't have to worry, there is an old man in Meishan in Fanyang Mansion, he is a master of the world, the virtuous nephew goes to worship him as a teacher, and when he learns to go out of the mountain, others will no longer dare to have any objections. It's just that this old man of Meishan has long been unable to accept apprentices, he will only meet you in the face of the old man, whether he can accept you as an apprentice depends on the creation of the virtuous nephew. ”
As soon as He Yuandao's words fell, he took a letter from the table and handed it to Li Yingjun.
"That's a letter of introduction."
"Thank you, Lord He, to be able to see the superior side of the previous world, and the creation is not shallow."
When He Yuandao heard Li Yingjun say this, he smiled at the moment and said, "I didn't expect that the virtuous nephew has changed so much, Master Jiang, congratulations!" ”
"The old man also wants to say congratulations to Lord He, won't he be your son-in-law soon?"
As soon as Jiang Youcai finished speaking, the two of them laughed in unison.
"Lord He, the old man will leave today, and when the old man goes back and discusses with the ladies about an auspicious day of the zodiac, he will come to He Mansion to give a dowry."
"Okay, the old man is waiting at home, butler, send off."
Jiang Youcai and He Yuandao saluted each other, and Li Yingjun also bowed to He Yuandao and said goodbye.
The housekeeper sent Jiang Youcai and Li Yingjun out of the mansion.
Jiang Youcai and Li Yingjun got into the carriage, Da Xiong followed on horseback, and the coachman drove the carriage straight to Jiangfu.
Li Yingjun thought in the carriage: "From this moment on, I, Li Yingjun, will change my name to Jiang Dazhi, officially debut, and start my violent journey in Datang." ”
