Chapter 14 Bow to the head

Li Shizhi said that he wanted to be a brother, Li Xi thought that there was going to be a ceremony or something, which was played in later film and television dramas, whether the big-eared thief and the second master and the third master were worshipped, or Hongxingshe pheasants and others, they all had to burn incense and kowtow to drink blood wine, but obviously, Li Shizhi was not prepared to get those things at all.

Li Xi has never played with anyone about brothers, so he doesn't know if there is no such custom at the moment, or if Li Shizhi is a high Tao, he doesn't bother to make those false texts at all, in short, Li Shizhi pulled his sleeve at the moment, and the two of them went all the way to Li Shizhi's small courtyard in the post house, just said that he wanted to get drunk with Li Xi, and he didn't see what ceremony he was going to prepare.

If you want to say that the only thing that has anything to do with the ceremony, it is that he ordered someone to take him with him a concubine and a six-year-old son to call out, both of them gave Li Xi a salute, calling him uncle, and Li Xi returned the salute, and then gave the eldest nephew a piece of jade pendant, and then, that is, the subordinates all changed their mouths to call Li Xi "Master Qi...... That's it.

And then...... It's drinking.

The two chatted while drinking, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and the more they drank, the more energetic they became, and the current thing like entering Chang'an was completely left behind, so that by the time Li Yifeng brought a carriage and horse from the city to pick up Li Xi in the afternoon, Li Shizhi was already too drunk, but he was still shouting there, "One more!" ”

At this time, Li Xi was already five or six points drunk, after all, Li Shizhi's alcohol consumption was there, even if he was a little bit better than others, he was very limited.

Therefore, when Li Yifeng heard that Li Xi was actually dragged to drink by Li Shizhi, the former assassin of Shaanzhou, and asked all the way to find it, what he saw was a scene of two people going crazy after drinking.

However, after knowing the ins and outs of this matter, he did not persuade him, firstly, in his opinion, his own adult can just arrive in Chang'an and befriend such a person as Li Shizhi and other people into such a relationship, so he actually did not mention it, just the impact of reputation, that is great, secondly, the oracle said that Li Xi must leave within five days after receiving the edict, but it was not stipulated that he must rush to Chang'an before what day, therefore, it is not in the way to enter Chang'an early or late.

Therefore, after he came, he saw Li Xi drinking with people in the courtyard where Master Li Shizhi lived, so he pretended to be the next person and waited outside honestly, the big deal was to wait for him to get drunk and pick people up.

But at this time, someone came from the city, and it was Li Shizhi's eldest son, Li Guo.

He accompanied his mother to Chang'an first, one came to the front station to clean up the old house and old yard that had been uninhabited for many years, and the other was to transport things, so he set off early and arrived early, and now the family has been cleaned up.

This morning received a message that his father had arrived at the Chengxi Post House yesterday afternoon, so in the afternoon he brought a carriage and horses together, came to pick up his father and little brother, and after arriving, he heard the next person say that the morning came out, and said that now the master has drunk too much with the old man, he is wondering in his heart, but his brain is excited, but he suddenly remembered something, so he grabbed the neckline of the next person and asked, "Master Qi...... My uncle's name is Li Xi? Li Xi of Shuzhou, Jiannan Province? ”

The man made him scare enough, just nodding his head again and again like a chicken pecking rice.

So Li Guo laughed, and after entering the room where his father and Li Xi were drinking, it was almost a bow, and he said, "Nephew Li Guo has seen my uncle!" ”

At this time, Li Xizheng was a little dazed, at first he thought it was the little Zhengtai who called him uncle just now, but even if he drank too much, he was not completely confused, no matter how he heard it, he felt that this voice was wrong, turned his head and squeezed his eyes, and found that the person kneeling in front of the hall and calling himself uncle was actually a middle-aged man!

Of course, it is said that Li Guo is middle-aged, purely because Li Xi drank too much and his eyes were a little flowery, after all, Li Guo was born in a family, and came out of the royal blood, he was extremely heroic, very tall, and his shoulders were broad, and he had a handsome face, and he was only twenty years old this year, which was the age of young Yingfa.

It's just that, perhaps in order to pursue some heroic spirit, he was young, and he deliberately left two short mustaches on his lips, so when Li Xi looked at it vaguely, he subconsciously felt that this person was in his thirties.

Therefore, Li Xi turned his head to see that he was such a big person and actually called himself uncle, which was a little big, and turned his head to look at Li Shizhi, but saw that Li Shizhi suddenly laughed, and laughed and burped, and then said: "Brother Xian, this is my eldest son Li Guo, who is twenty years old this year, and you will have to mention more as an uncle in the future." ”

looked at Li Guo again: "Guo'er, this is your uncle, surnamed Li Yanxi, the word is said, you will call him uncle in the future." ”

Li Guo stood up when he heard this, and then came over with a smile and poured wine for Li Xi.

In other words, in the eyes of a modern person like Li Xi, this thing is quite incredible. Even if Li Guo is only twenty years old, he is two years older than himself, in his opinion, even if his father is commensurate with a guy brother who is younger than his age, then he will definitely not be able to pull his face to call others uncle.

You are younger than me, and we are not related by blood or anything, and I didn't marry your daughter, why are you a generation shorter, at best, everyone has their own friends, there is no need to talk about any generation.

But in the eyes of Li Shizhi and Li Guo, these Tang Dynasty people, this matter is in line with etiquette, righteousness and strictness, and it is necessary.

Therefore, when Li Xi frowned and said: "I don't think I need to call my uncle, that, I am only eighteen years old this year, and this uncle shouting makes me uncomfortable......" Li Shizhi and Li Guo said in unison: "How can that happen!" ”

Even this Li Guo put down the wine jug and quickly knelt down again, Li Xi couldn't stop the momentum of bowing his head, and only listened to Li Guo: "If uncle is like this, doesn't he disdain to point out his nephew?" ”

Li Xi was dumbfounded.

Not to mention, Li Guo is not shameless, this is a model of respecting the teacher, it is true that people are free and uninhibited in the Tang Dynasty, but on the other hand, they are also very particular about the etiquette of these elders and children.

Therefore, if Li Xi didn't let the family call him uncle, it would become disgusting.

He stroked his forehead with his hand, nodded, and felt that his throat was about to be blocked, and finally had to squeeze out a sentence, "That, virtuous nephew, get up, you don't have to bow your head and worship at every turn." ”

Li Guo was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass, and said loudly: "My nephew respects my uncle, I wish my uncle a better life than Nanshan and a better life than the Hou Wang!" Then he raised his neck and drank wine.

Hearing this blessing, Li Xi's face cramped a little, and he just wanted to stop it and explain that he is only eighteen years old this year, and he doesn't need the words that he is longer than Nanshan for the time being, and it will be about the same in another thirty years.

But before he could speak, Li Guo poured another cup of wine, picked it up, raised his neck, and went down again, "Uncle, please drink it full!" ”

………… In the end, Li Xi no longer knew how he left Li Shizhi's small courtyard, he only remembered one thing, Li Shizhi was very good at drinking, and his eldest nephew Li Guo was also very good at drinking!

When he woke up, his brain was dizzy, Li Xi opened his eyes and looked out, he was in a daze for a long time, and after a while, he gradually woke up, lifted the blanket on his body and slowly got off the bed, and after stretching his waist, he looked back and forth in the room.

This is obviously not the house where I live in the inn.

Hearing that there seemed to be movement outside, Li Xi took a shirt from the lavender cage next to him and put it on, lifted the curtain and walked out.

This is a small but unique garden.

Of course, it's not big, in fact, it's five with four, plus the east and west wings, adding up to more than a dozen houses, if you count this courtyard, it can be regarded as a spacious courtyard, even if it is in a state city like Jinyuan, this courtyard is afraid that it will be worth at least a hundred thousand or even two hundred thousand dollars.

There are five rooms in the main house, there are two matching rooms in the east and west, also called the ear room, there is a room in front of the room, there is also a corridor in front of the wing room, and it has been zigzag and detoured back to the courtyard gate of the southeast corner. There are a lot of flowers planted in the yard, and there is a grape trellis under the porch, and there is a big locust tree in the southeast corner, which is tall and luxuriant, and the shade of the tree covers half of the yard.

It is a small courtyard with a very northern charm.

At this time, when I saw Li Xi getting up, two maids who were originally sitting in the front hall of the room and talking got up and came over, one held the basin, the other took a towel, and said in a mouthful of Chang'an dialect: "The maid waits for the prince to wash." ”

Li Xi's mind was still a little confused, so he washed up the things in the hands of the two maids, felt that he was a little more sober, looked up at the sun again, and found that the time was almost noon, so he couldn't help but ask the two little girls with clear eyebrows: "Who are you and where is this?" ”

The two maids are still young, they look like they are thirteen or fourteen years old, and they are just beginning to be sensible, but first, they are not familiar with Li Xi, and secondly, after all, they have only been here for a few days, so as soon as Li Xi asked, the two of them were divided, and they didn't know what to say, and after a while, one of them seemed to be clever and first reacted, and replied: "Go back to Gongye, this is your house, the maid's name is Miaomiao, her name is Lianlian, we were all bought by Master Li to serve you." ”

"Master Li, which Master Li? Is it Li Yifeng, or Li Shizhi? ”

The two little maids glanced at each other, but this time it was the Lianlian who opened her mouth, but it was a Fujian and Zhejiang accent that had gone out of tone, mixed with a little Chang'an flavor, "It's Li Yifeng Master Li." ”

Li Xi patted his brows and asked how he got here. The two little maids saw that Li Xi was always kind and pleasant, so they dared to speak, and after listening to their chatter, Li Xi knew that he had drunk too much at the post station yesterday, and was directly pulled to Chang'an City by Li Yifeng in a carriage.

He patted his brows again, hit the horse into Chang'an, what a handsome shot, missed it.

From the mouths of the two little maids, Li Xi knew that Li Yifeng had gone out at this time, according to them, Li Yifeng seemed to have opened a wine shop in Chang'an, specializing in selling wine, Li Xi knew that he must have seen that he was drunk, and he didn't know when he would wake up, so he went to the wine shop to arrange it first.

After all, from the purchase to the recruitment to the opening of the liquor store in Chang'an, he single-handedly held it, and now that he, a big boss, is here, he must check the work, and he naturally wants to arrange it in advance.

Li Xi was there looking at the scorching sun outside the courtyard in a daze, Miaomiao had already held a bowl of warm tea with interest, Li Xi was thirsty, took a sip and drank it dry, handed over the bowl, and asked her to pour another bowl.

This Miao Miao and Lian Lian have been sold since childhood, although they are young, they have also learned the rules, since they have learned the rules, they have to simulate serving people to serve tea and pour water. At this time, knowing that his new owner was thirsty after drinking, he asked for the surname to come over directly, Li Xi drank a bowl and she poured a bowl, and there were three bowls, Li Xi handed her the bowl and smiled at her.

After a few bowls of water, I felt better again, so I asked Na Miaomiao and Lianlian, "That Master Li didn't say when he would come back before leaving?" ”

The two little girls shook their heads, saying they didn't know.

So Li Xi asked again: "Then, is there a carriage in the house?" ”

The two shook their heads again.

Li Xi was helpless, walked to the hall in front of the house, looked up at the sun, and felt that it didn't seem to be very hot, at least it was worse than the big sun in Shuzhou, which was so tanned that people lost their skin, and after all, it was August, and autumn in Chang'an came early, although it would still be a little hot when standing under the sun at this time, it would not feel hot.

So Li Xi waved his hand, straightened his sleeves, and said, "You two, Miaomiao, you are a local, right?" Do you know the road? ”

Na Miaomiao was a little puzzled when she heard this, but she was just waiting for a pair of big eyes to look at Li Xi, but she didn't know how to answer, Li Xi had to explain, "If you know the road and make sure that we go out for a stroll and come back, then accompany me to go out for a walk, I haven't seen what Chang'an is like!" ”

As soon as she heard that this new master actually wanted to take him shopping by herself, Miaomiao was surprised how this master was a little different from the masters who said about the mothers, but she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, and Miaomiao immediately nodded, "I know, the maid grew up in Chang'an, and I've been in this house for almost a month, and I've been out a few times, and I can definitely come back!" ”

While talking, she couldn't help but blink at Li Xi, when Li Yifeng bought them, he just picked them Zhou Zheng, and they looked very clever, but he never told them that it was Li Xi who they were going to serve.

Besides, as the goods traded at a bargain price in the hands of human teeth, they are not qualified to pick the master, so when she entered this house, she couldn't help but start thinking about what her master would look like, but she couldn't imagine that her master would be like this, so young, so good-looking, and so kind to others...... As soon as Li Xi heard this, he nodded and waved his hand, "Okay, let's go shopping!" ”
