Chapter 60: Ode to Snow in the Palace
Li Mingyuan's gaze at Gonggong Liu was too hot, making the head of the Liangwang Mansion feel as if he was a piece of fat pork, being targeted by a hungry wolf who hadn't eaten for three days.
"Ahem! Li Xiucai is really Yushu Linfeng, a talent! Father-in-law Liu was furious by Li Mingyuan's eyes, so he had to laugh dryly.
"Where is it, Gonggong Liu has a good reputation, I don't know why King Liang asked Gonggong Liu to come to the students?" Li Mingyuan said expectantly.
Gonggong Liu patted his head and said, "Hey, look at our brain, just chatting, and forget about business!" Today's snow scene is very beautiful, King Liang invited all talents to sing poems and praise snow in the mansion today, and specially asked the old slave to come and pick up Li Xiucai! ”
"It turns out that I'm invited to dinner, no problem, then let's go!" As soon as Li Mingyuan heard that King Liang was invited, he knew that he had a chance to leave the house, so he was so unhappy.
Gonggong Liu didn't expect Li Mingyuan to be so refreshing, and he didn't say that he was pretending to excuse himself. couldn't help but be a little shocked, but he was also a figure who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he had some appreciation for Li Mingyuan's honesty.
"Since Gongzi Li has no opinion, then let's go!" Gonggong Liu got up and said with a smile. He has changed his title from Li Xiucai to Li Gongzi, which shows that Li Mingyuan is already higher than passer-by A in his heart.
"Old lady, what do you see?" Li Mingyuan was afraid that the old lady would oppose it, so he made a heart and asked the old lady for instructions after talking to Gonggong Liu. However, it turned out that he was too careful, and instead of objecting, the old lady encouraged again and again, "Just go,
If you perform well, I will be rewarded when you come back! ”
Li Mingyuan felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but he still accepted the order without changing his face.
"Gonggong Liu, is the palace far from here?" Li Mingyuan looked curious.
"It's not very far, it's an hour by carriage!" Gonggong Liu said with a smile.
Hearing about the carriage, Li Mingyuan was a little excited in his heart, he had also been in a carriage in this world. According to the standards of the previous life, the carriage of this year is equivalent to a BMW, and those who have no strength cannot afford to sit down. At most, ordinary people can ride a donkey, or ride a big ox cart or something. According to Li Mingyuan's division, these two correspond to electric vehicles and buses respectively!
Walking out of the gate of the Hou Mansion one after the other with Gonggong Liu, Li Mingyuan saw a cyan carriage parked in front of the steps, although the horse pulling the carriage was not a divine horse, but it was also quite robust, and its front hooves were shaving on the ground from time to time. People of this era preferred the elegance and poetry of horse-drawn carriages to simple horseback riding, and preferred to ride horse-drawn carriages calmly through country roads or old city streets to visit friends.
"Li Gongzi, please get in the car!" Gonggong Liu said very politely.
"Where is it, Father-in-law Liu, please first, I'm a junior!" Li Mingyuan said very politely.
Li Mingyuan's attitude made Gonggong Liu feel quite comfortable. He knew that he was a eunuch, and those who boasted of being a high scholar looked down on him, he was the head of the palace, and his status was noble, so he was better, but despite this, there were still many pretentious guys who made fun of themselves, and even mocked in front of King Liang, but he couldn't get angry yet, otherwise he would be truthful, don't mention this grievance.
"Li Gongzi is really eclectic and different!" Gonggong Liu couldn't help but pat Li Mingyuan's shoulder and said happily.
"Ha Luha, I think Gonggong Liu is also in his prime, and his spirit is flying!" Li Mingyuan looked at Gonggong Liu and grinned.
The carriage was speeding all the way, and Li Mingyuan and Gonggong Liu also chatted quite happily, and they hated each other. Liu's father-in-law's name is Liu Jin, of course, he is definitely not the Liu Jin who caused chaos in the dynasty, but he has the same name and surname. To Liu Jin's surprise, Li Mingyuan is a scholar, but he has no good impression of readers, and scolds his mother at every turn.
"Mingyuan, why are you treating Master Xie like this, so badly?" Liu Jin was a little unable to understand Li Mingyuan's thinking, after all, Master Xie was also half of his mentor. People even gave you their own treasured notes, how can you not appreciate it.
"Hmph, if he doesn't send me his thick notes, I estimate that he will be offered as an ancestor and give special incense every day, but he just sent it over, or five hundred miles in an emergency, I estimate that the two of us can't even be friends!" Li Mingyuan said unusually angrily.
"For what?" Liu Jin was a little puzzled.
"Because those damn notes cost me my freedom!" Like a revolutionary martyr about to die, Li Mingyuan let out a roar of rage.
Liu Jin looked at him incomprehensibly and said, "Is freedom important?" ”
"Of course it is!"
"But compared to the title of the gold list, what is freedom?" Liu Jin was quite depressed.
"Gonggong Liu, you are wrong, the title of the gold list is gratifying, but if it is said that it is for the title of the gold list instead of sacrificing my freedom, it is absolutely impossible!" Li Mingyuan behaved quite solemnly.
Liu Jin looked at Li Mingyuan, feeling that this young man's thinking was really difficult for him to accept, maybe young people are like this now! Liu Jin explained to himself in his heart.
The carriage sped all the way, and the two of them stopped chattering and quieted down. Li Mingyuan lifted the curtain next to him and found that it was snowing again, the snow was crystal clear, pure and flawless, natural and simple, and it was like a swan feather, and it was like a pear blossom swaying by a jade man. The snow fell to the ground, softly, silently, covering the earth with a quilt. Sometimes, the snow was smaller, and it fell like a reed, and covered the ground, and it was thin, like a gauze covering the earth.
"Gonggong Liu, do you know who the prince invited today?" Li Mingyuan put down the curtain with a lot of thoughts, took a deep breath and said.
Liu Jin immediately closed his eyes and recalled, and then wrenched his fingers and said, "Actually, there are not many, Jincheng County Talent: Wu Zhihua, Xihai County Talent: Song Kangwen, Weiwu County Talent: Dong Zhizhong, Jincheng County's Liu Zhonglan, and several county school teachings, all of them are somewhat learned!" ”
Li Mingyuan sweated a lot in his heart, these people are all talented people in Liu Jin's mouth, presumably the knowledge is definitely better than himself. The thought of fighting with these people, Li Mingyuan's heart was empty.
"Mingyuan doesn't need to worry, this is just a small party of King Liang, without the participation of officials, everyone can have fun. Since King Liang asked our family to invite you, it means that the prince believes in your talent, and you just need to play normally! Liu Jin looked at Li Mingyuan's face and said something was wrong, and hurriedly comforted Ping.
Li Mingyuan pretended not to care and nodded, then he looked at Liu Jin and said softly, "Gonggong Liu, I will discuss something with you!" ”
"It's okay for you to say it!"
"Can you please send me back?"
