Xie Xian took Li Mingyuan's hand and admonished for a long time, and Li Mingyuan naturally had a cold sweat on his face, of course he could guess that the person Xie Xian said that he shouldn't like was Xiahouqin, but Xie Xian didn't say anything, the implication was that when he was in power, Xiahouqin would not be able to escape, thinking about it like this, Li Mingyuan instantly felt how happy it was to study.

After Xie Xian's admonition, Zhu Zhiqing also came forward, when he was in Yanjing, Lord Zhu was a merry and talented man, originally he thought that the young talents of Dahua were concentrated in the capital and the land south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't expect that this bitter cold place also produced a peerless figure like Li Mingyuan, which made him feel that this trip to Beijing was really worthwhile.

After saying goodbye to Xie Xian and Zhu Zhiqing in tears, Li Mingyuan turned around again, and at this time, everyone's eyes were completely different when they looked at him. Although he is still a small general, he is a family general favored by Lord Qincha and Lord Hou, and his future is bright, so the friends who could have joked with him at will have also changed into a respectful face, which made Li Mingyuan a little uncomfortable. 、

Seeing the Qincha team go away, Li Mingyuan knew that Xiahou Qin didn't plan to see him. Of course, a fairy like her might be secretly observing him somewhere. Thinking of the moment when Xiahou Qin picked up the hole flute and beat him hard, Li Mingyuan couldn't help but raise a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Upstairs, the residual lamp is accompanied by Xiaoshuang, and the lone sleeper gets up the acacia bed. How many lovesick one-night stands, the corners of the earth are not long! After Li Mingyuan chanted this poem to Xie Xian and the others who were far away, he patted the horse and left. Leaving a group of illiterate soldiers staring wide-eyed.

At this time, the town army general's mansion had been renamed Yumen Houfu, and as soon as Li Mingyuan entered the door, he was called over by Xiahou Gui, who had been waiting for a long time. "Captain Li, why did you come back, the old lady and his wife have been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up!"

Li Mingyuan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be curious, "Does Steward Xiahou know what the old lady and his wife are looking for me?" ”

Xiahou Gui shook his head, saying that he didn't know, but he said with a happy face: "You don't have to worry too much, I see that the old lady and his wife are all happy, and it should be a good thing to think about it." Don't delay any longer, come with me! Xiahou Gui grabbed Li Mingyuan's hand and ran away.

Along the way, all the maids and maids of the family saw that the two of them all bent down and saluted, but Xiahou Gui was too lazy to pay attention, seeing that everyone was so respectful, Li Mingyuan felt that he was completely pretending to be a fox. As everyone knows, now he is on the same level as several big housekeepers in the minds of everyone, second only to several masters.

The back house, which was originally regarded as a forbidden place by Li Mingyuan, is now no different from entering his own courtyard, which makes Li Mingyuan feel the benefits brought by power in his heart.

"Old lady, madam, I brought Li Mingyuan here!" Xiahou Gui took Li Mingyuan outside the hall and stood at the door and said respectfully.

It didn't take long for Mrs.'s voice to come from the house, "Hard-working housekeeper Xiahou, let Mingyuan come in!" ”

Xiahou Gui immediately pushed Li Mingyuan forward, "Go in quickly, don't let Mrs. Taijun wait for a long time!" ”

Li Mingyuan took a few steps forward with some reluctance, then turned around and said, "You won't go in with me?" ”

Seeing that Li Mingyuan didn't want to, Xiahou Gui really wanted to slap him, he tried his best to get the appreciation of Mrs. Taijun but failed, but this guy is a newcomer and is on the rise. But he still looks reluctant, isn't this deliberately annoying.

Anger returned to anger, but Xiahou Gui still said softly, "Madam only let you go in alone, be obedient, go quickly!" ”

After doing this, Li Mingyuan entered the hall step by step.

"Mingyuan see the old lady, madam!" Li Mingyuan bowed down to the old lady and Mrs. Xiahou who were sitting on the upper seat.

"Mingyuan doesn't have to be polite, take a seat!" Madame said very enthusiastically.

From the moment he learned that Li Mingyuan showed his literary talents at the banquet and cleaned up Ma Yangping for Xiahou Yong, the old lady and his wife's favor towards Li Mingyuan rose sharply, especially Mrs. Xiahou, who was completely convinced by the old lady.

"Mingyuan, let the old body see, are you a Wenqu star!" The old lady summoned Li Mingyuan to his side and said.

"Old lady, you have an overreputation, what kind of Wenqu star am I, but I just happen to have two pairs!" Li Mingyuan said with a red face.

"Mingyuan, you don't have to be modest, that Ma Yangping is also a Jinshi, decades of sage books are not read in vain, you can easily defeat him shows that your talent is far better than him, if he can be a Jinshi, you can't even be in the third yuan!" Madame Xiahou encouraged.

Facing Mrs. Xiahou, Li Mingyuan always felt that his heart was beating faster, and he couldn't help but ask himself: Is this what it feels like to see his mother-in-law?

"Madame's words Mingyuan don't dare to be, even if he is talented, it is a little smart, Mingyuan knows that he still has a long way to go, and he still needs a lot of encouragement and help from the old lady and his wife!" Li Mingyuan's performance was like a new son-in-law coming to the door, but the old lady and his wife were very satisfied with his attitude of not being arrogant or impatient.

The old lady has decided to pull Li Mingyuan into her own big ship, and from her decades of experience, Li Mingyuan is by no means a thing in the pool, and he is bound to be in a high position in the future, maybe his children and grandchildren will rely on him for protection in the future.

"In the future, this Hou Mansion will be Mingyuan's home, what do you need, although you are a poor general, but you don't need to do anything, just study hard, I hope Mingyuan you don't let me down!" The old lady said earnestly.

When it comes to this, of course Li Mingyuan can't shirk it, in fact, he has already decided to study hard and prepare for the exam, if nothing else, just to be able to enter Beijing to snatch back Xiahouqin.

The old lady and his wife encouraged Li Mingyuan before letting him go back to rest, looking at Li Mingyuan's back, the old lady couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Mother, why are you sighing?" Mrs. Xiahou said with concern.

The old lady was a little annoyed and said, "I'm thinking why such an excellent young man is not a child of my Xiahou family, if so, even if my Xiahou family can't grow any longer, at least there is no problem in keeping the current wealth!" ”

Hearing the words of the old lady, Mrs. Xiahou was also silent, she is also the son of an official eunuch, of course, I know whether a wealthy family can be maintained, the most important thing is to look at the ability of the heir, although the Xiahou family looks illustrious at present, but it is also full of dangers, the most important thing is that the family is too young, and there are no brothers who can support each other, decades later, once the saint is not there, the glory of the Xiahou family will come to an end.

Thinking of the attitude of her father and stepmother towards her, Mrs. Xiahou couldn't help but clench her fists, many things have passed for so many years, she is about to forget, but when she thinks about it occasionally, she finds that she has not forgotten it, but remembers it very clearly.
