The invitation was sent by Shouwangfu, saying that a small banquet would be held in Shouwangfu, and Li Xi was invited to come to the mansion and go to the banquet by the way. According to Li Yifeng, this invitation was even sent by Shi Chen Qingzhi, the head of the palace, in person, with a very sincere attitude, saying that His Royal Highness King Shou admired Mr. Li Xi's talent very much, and asked Li Xi to be sure to come to the house when he arrived, so as to ask for one or two.

If this invitation is in someone else's hands, it may be regarded as a treasure. The government and the opposition all know the status of His Royal Highness King Shou in the heart of Emperor Xuanzong, and even now there is gossip in Chang'an City that His Majesty wants to abolish the crown prince and establish King Shou as the prince, so even if you don't want to stand in a hurry, if you can get His Royal Highness King Shou to personally send the palace chief Shi to invite, it must be worth saying it out and showing off.

But for Li Xi, it was enough of a headache.

And before sending the invitation, this Shouwang Li Qing obviously had inquired, Guozi School did not attend classes twice a month, once in the middle of the month, once at the end of the month, and the day after tomorrow was August 30, which was the time for the holiday, and it was difficult to find an excuse.

Li Xi hesitated for a while, threw the invitation card to the side of the small table, and asked Li Yifeng: "Who did Chen Qingzhi invite if he didn't say it?" ”

Li Yifeng thought about it when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I didn't say this. Then he said: "It doesn't matter who he is, although you are in the past, I expect that your song "Jinse" has already suppressed the entire Chang'an, and this time, they will only have the reason to hold you up, and they will not be embarrassed." ”

Li Xi nodded, looked at him, and asked, "What does Mr. think, should go?" ”

Li Yifeng nodded, "His Royal Highness King Shou has always had a high reputation among many princes, especially His Majesty's favor, since we have already offended the prince, why should we have any scruples?" According to the old man, it is better to simply stand on the side of King Shou, in this way, the prince's side really attacked us, and there is someone to help us, right? ”

Li Xi nodded, Li Yifeng's consideration, if it was under normal circumstances, it would naturally be very reasonable, but right now, Li Xi hesitated, reached out and picked up the invitation card to look at it again, threw it to Li Yifeng, shook his head cautiously, and said: "I won't go to this small banquet, Mr. Trouble will help me go over tomorrow, one back and forth, and the other come, and excuse me." ”

Li Yifeng was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Why?" ”

Li Xi hesitated for a moment, looked at Lianlian and Miaomiao, who were laughing and talking in a low voice at the door, and then stretched out his index finger and pointed to the top of his head, "His body, it's okay!" ”

Li Yifeng was a little confused when he heard this, and immediately came back to his senses, but he couldn't help but sweat all of a sudden.

Then he quickly stood up and pleaded guilty at Li Xi with a panicked face, "It's the old man who is confused and thoughtful, if he had thought through this layer earlier, he shouldn't have accepted this invitation today." ”

Emperor Xuanzong's body is very healthy, everyone knows this, and even Li Xi knows that in a few years, Emperor Xuanzong will even be so healthy that he urgently needs to snatch his daughter-in-law over, how can this body be bad? Therefore, he, the emperor, has to be the emperor for many years.

In this way, not to mention that there is no need to rush to stand in line to find a backer, even if you want to find a backer, you must not find a certain prince, you know, the most taboo thing for Emperor Xuanzong is that his son has a close past with the ministers of the court.

Befriending King Shou can protect yourself to a certain extent and relieve the pressure on Prince Li Hong on himself, but after you follow King Shou, do you still want to be reused by Emperor Xuanzong?

Thinking about this, Li Yifeng naturally knew that his thinking had once again fallen behind Li Xi.

And the difference in this realm is not a star and a half.

He came to Chang'an as a staff member and assistant, in order to naturally help Li Xi take care of some small affairs, and at the same time to help Li Xi come up with ideas to deal with many problems in the court, but obviously, the mistakes again and again made him begin to understand that perhaps, he is really just a petty official.

When it comes to the overall situation, let alone helping Li Xi come up with ideas, and even many times, it is not enough to cause trouble for him. For example, if you shirk this invitation from the beginning, then no matter what the other party thinks, you won't have too many opinions, and at most you will be disappointed. But since it's already next, and tomorrow I will say that I can't go to the banquet, so no matter what reason you find, people will think that it is Li Xi who doesn't give face, which is tantamount to helping Li Xi make an enemy for no reason.

Although he got up to apologize, Li Xi just waved his hand and said it was nothing, but after sitting down, his face couldn't help but add some decadent color, and he was a little interested.

When Li Xi flipped through the other greetings on the small table, he occasionally turned his head to look at Li Yifeng, and just saw him looking lost, and he could probably guess his thoughts, so he smiled and asked: "I know that Mr. has always liked to read history, You Xizhi's "Book of Han", dare to ask Mr., who do you think Zhang Liang and Xiao He have helped Han Gaozu more?" ”

Li Yifeng was distracted, and was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, and then frowned and said: "This, it's not easy to say, Zhang Zifang is the mastermind of Gaozu, and he often doesn't say anything for a few months, but as long as he mentions a strategy, he can help Gaozu add 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is naturally a great achievement, but even if he Zhang Zifang has more schemes, if there is no Xiao He behind the scenes to plan for Gaozu and govern internal affairs, where will the soldiers come from?" Where does the food come from? Therefore, the old man felt that between these two people, it was really impossible to comment on who was higher and who was lower......"

Li Xi smiled and nodded when he heard this, Li Yifeng thought that he had recently learned and improved, and this was to discuss the history of Hanshu with himself, who knew that Li Xi just asked a question, and after he answered, he was speechless, and lowered his head again to check those invitations.

After a slight stunned expression, Li Yifeng frowned, and then looked like he suddenly realized, and in a short period of time, the look on his face changed several times, and after a long time, he sighed, and couldn't help but get up again, but there was a little more enlightenment in his expression, and he gave Li Xi a big bow, "Gongzi Xie pointed!" ”

Li Xi put down the invitation, supported him, and said sincerely: "I am not Gao Zu, and Mr. is not Xiao He, but the business at home, the friendships that come and go, and the contact with Shuzhou, and so on, all depend on Mr." The next day, if Li Xi could rise from the clouds, he would not dare to forget his praise for painting. ”

Li Yifeng stood up and nodded solemnly.

Li Xi saw that he had untied the knot in his heart, so he smiled and handed over a letter of worship, "I have seen this Cen ginseng, if possible, I can make friends." ”

Li Yifeng took it and looked at the post, and nodded at Li Xi to indicate that he had written it down.

Then he hesitated for a moment before he said, "There is something to discuss with Childe." ”

After checking the post, Li Xi's errand today was completed, and then he comfortably picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, waved his hand at Li Yifeng, and said, "What's the matter, Mr. sit down and say." ”

To put it on the past, although Li Yifeng is always very attentive in doing things, but he has always been unrestrained in front of Li Xi, after all, Li Xi is only a Jiupin when he turns the sky, and he Li Yifeng is also a Congjiupin before he joined Li Xi as a staff, and when it comes to the qualifications to mix in the officialdom, he is not much stronger than Li Xi, so although he is willing to invest in Li Xi's door and start a staff member, but the pride in the bones of a person who has been an official for many years is always there, therefore, he always sat down and talked with Li Xi.

But this time, although Li Xi was still accustomed to giving up his seat, Li Yifeng only smiled when he heard this, but he didn't sit down, but stood on Li Xi's side, and said with a little respect: "The door thinks, now the status of the son in Chang'an is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more people coming and going, so whether it is to fill the scene, or whether it can be comforted by someone to protect the son, shouldn't the house recruit some people?" ”

Hearing the word "under the door", Li Xi was stunned at first, and then saw that he was actually standing and talking to himself, and his face was respectful, so he wanted to open his mouth so that he didn't have to be so restrained, but after hesitating, he felt that he couldn't say this. Previously, he called himself an old man, but he was proud of his identity as a guest, and now he suddenly changed his name to Menxia, which is to call himself a host. However, perhaps the most important thing for him at the moment should be to find the feeling of "Xiao He" who concentrates on taking care of his own family affairs?

After thinking about it, Li Xi decided that it would be better to remain quiet, and after waiting for a while, he fully understood in his heart, and when the time came, it would be just a few jokes.

At that moment, he nodded, "How many people are recruited?" Sir is that ...... Hatchet man? ”

Li Yifeng smiled when he heard this, "Although it is not said to be a thug, it must be able to support the son well." ”

Li Xi thought about it and felt that this was a good thing.

When I was in Jinyuan, Shuzhou, firstly, I had a protective umbrella above me, and Mr. Liu was also responsible for managing public security, so no one would dare to find his own stubble, and secondly, Shuzhou was a small place, and almost everyone in Dongcheng had just finished fighting, and Xicheng already knew about it, and no one would dare to mess around at all.

But right now, this is Chang'an. Although at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the public security is even better than that of Shuzhou, but here is a mixture of dragons and snakes, maybe one day you will meet someone, and secondly, there are many nobles and nobles here, although the Tang Dynasty clan is passed down, most of the young masters and sons who come out of the family with status and status are always personable and have a high cultural accomplishment, and they are not as full of evil as they were on TV in the previous life, but after all, there are so many bases in big families, and individual cases will inevitably appear, and even if they are highly culturally accomplished, It's not necessarily someone who is honest enough not to bully people.

What's more, he seems to be on the cusp of the storm right now, saying that in the past two days, some people have even begun to go to the gate of Guozi School to find themselves, fortunately, the place is special, just went out of a teaching assistant and scolded a few words, and the gang quickly walked away, and did not dare to really rush in to find someone, but after all, this is also a sign that is not easy to deal with.

So at that moment, Li Xi nodded and agreed to this matter.

"Since that's the case, then Mr. will put more effort into it and simply recruit a few martial arts masters."

Think about it, with a few strong bodyguards with him, no one dares to mess with Chang'an City, what a pleasant thing it is - thinking of recruiting a few martial arts masters, Li Xi unconsciously remembered the martial arts novels he had read in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttery.

If it is a few years later, it is estimated that Ah Zao should have been trained in the army, and when the time comes, he will simply be called to Chang'an.

Li Xi was thinking wildly in his heart, but Li Yifeng couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What is martial arts?" ”

The next day was August 29, and it was Li Xi who had made an appointment with Su Jin to visit.

On this day, although Li Xi still has classes in the morning and afternoon, the afternoon class is only to practice calligraphy, and it is not in the way to delay for a while, and the most important thing is that today is the son of Su Jin, the servant of the ministry, who is taking turns to rest.

So after returning home from school in the morning, having lunch, and resting for a while, Li Xi took the car to Sufu.

Li Xi came to Chang'an, in addition to the servant Chi Zhong who made friends on the road, there is also a good friendship with Li Shizhi, who is about a brother in the post house, in addition, he handed over a letter of worship and wanted to ask to see his master Zhang Jiuling but was politely refused, although the other party said that Jiuling Gong is currently in mourning for his mother, and it is inconvenient to see guests, but he obviously put on a posture of still seeing himself as an outsider, so Li Xi did not come to the door again.

As for He Zhizhang, Zhang Xu and others, or just because of Li Shizhi, or the relationship between the deeds and poems that Li Yifeng preached for himself in Chang'an before, they were kind to themselves at first, but they were not close to each other in the end, and later a poem "Jin Se" came out, they regarded themselves as a big poet, so just these days, several people have been frequently invited, but they all gave Li Xi an excuse to go to Guozi School to attend classes and did not dare to delay, so they resigned.

In Li Xi's opinion, it is okay to make friends with them, but at the moment, they are obviously not good friends.

But among them, Su Jin is a special case.

It seems that from the first time he saw himself, he treated himself differently.

I remember that on the day when Wang Shuyan was going to smash the store, the two met for the first time, and Su Jin released some additional kindness at that time, and reminded himself at that time that since he had arrived in Chang'an, it was only right to go to Guozi School to report that he had entered the school first.

Then, at Li Shizhi's family banquet a few years ago, he sat next to him, not the slightest shelf of the servant, but he was very careful to explain to himself a lot of the rules of the banquet, and even commented on the characters in the middle for himself one by one.

The strange thing is that the two have only met twice, and the relationship seems to be very close.

Especially on Li Xi's side, it seems that he has a good relationship with himself in Chang'an City, except for Li Shizhi, followed by Su Jin.

Because it was arranged in advance, after Li Xi arrived, there was already a housekeeper from Su Mansion waiting at the door, Li Xi handed over some Shuzhou things as gifts, and the housekeeper took it with a smile, and then took Li Xi inside, and ordered someone to go in to report.

Then it was Su Jin who took it out personally.

This third time they met, the two of them almost talked about nothing.

He was born in Jinshi, he is more than forty years old this year, and Li Xi is only eighteen years old, but when it comes to national politics and family affairs, both of them can talk very speculatively, of course, both of them are smart enough, so the topic has always been controlled within the scope of the two sides can talk freely, and some things that are too sensitive, both of them have the wisdom to mention it.

Unconsciously, it was already a red west, although Mrs. Su took her daughter-in-law to cook and clean up a table of dishes, but the two of them didn't move a few chopsticks at all, but wine, and unconsciously went down to the four big Hu.

Su Jin is known for being good at drinking, and Li Xi is also a good drinker, but after drinking, both of them are a little drunk.

"Back then, I was the same as your teacher Zhou Qiong, he was the youngest of our Jinshi, and even he was the youngest Jinshi since I opened the Tang Dynasty, so since then, the 'Datang No. 1 Young Jinshi' has followed him to this day, and no one can break this age."

When the wine was hot, Su Jin suddenly mentioned Zhou Qionglai, which surprised Li Xi.

However, listening to the meaning of his words, Li Xi understood in an instant, presumably it was because of Zhou Qiong's entrustment, so since they first met, Su Jin has taken care of himself very much.

After thinking about it, I gradually realized the importance of the teacher's kindness.

Although it has only been less than half a year since I crossed over so far, and it has only been three or five months since I joined the teacher's door, it has been said that the teacher is kind and the beauty is ...... Each one will make people feel heavy.

Therefore, Li Xi just listened to Su Jin in silence, and did not interject, and occasionally filled the wine glass for him.

"I still remember when I was walking across the street, he walked beside me, and the two of us talked and laughed all the way, and I was so complacent at that time! Later, we stayed in Chang'an at the same time, one to eat and drink, one to travel, and go to Pingkangfang to spend all day and wine together......"

Listening to this, Li Xi couldn't help but smile.

He could even imagine how unrestrained and uninhibited two young people who had been high school jinshi at a young age must have been in those years.

Youth as a companion, drinking and singing.

At this time, perhaps as he was talking, Su Jin had also approached his memories, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes and laugh slightly.

Then the two of them raised their glasses in unison, touched them gently, and drank them all again.

"Young and frivolous!" Su Jin sighed, but when he raised his head to look at Li Xi, he couldn't help but surprise Li Xi when he said what he said.

"Now that you're here, I can breathe a sigh of relief."
