Liu's Mansion is located in the west of the city, at the mouth of the alley, and it is also a crowded city on weekdays, with people coming and going.

Li Zhihuai took Alin and before he walked to Liu's mansion, he saw several luxury carriages parked at the entrance of the mansion over there, and in addition, handsome horses led by small servants at the entrance of the alley also abounded.

Liu Huayin saw Li Zhihuai walking leisurely from afar, and immediately went over to say hello.

"Fourth brother, why didn't you come by carriage today, I would have sent someone to pick you up." He said.

Li Zhihuai waved his hand, quite unconcerned.

"I haven't walked on the street for a long time, and it's okay to walk once in a while." "Come again," he said, "and see on the road if anyone disturbs the stability." ”

Liu Huayin laughed when he heard this.

"The fourth brother is really worthy of being a good official who thinks about the people." He praised and patted Li Zhihuai on the shoulder, "Come into the house, it just so happens that my old man wants to see you." ”

Mrs. Liu is now eighty years old, and her official position is to the Taifu, and she is a celebrity in front of the first emperor, and she has now returned to her hometown for many years.

Li Zhihuai nodded, and said with a smile while following him into the house: "Is the old man okay?" I haven't seen him in a long time. ”

"No matter how good it is, it's just like that." Liu Huayin sighed, "How can there be really good when you are old, you just have to get by." My old man's body is quite tough, but sometimes his mind is confused, and a few days ago, he even said that he saw the first emperor. ”

At the end of the conversation, his voice was quieter, and his tone was extremely helpless.

Li Zhihuai sighed.

This is also something that cannot be helped, just like his mother, when people get old, their minds are confused.

"That's it." Liu Huayin shook his head, "Don't mention this, the old man is very sober at this time, and he still wants to talk to you." ”

Li Zhihuai said yes.

They entered the house together and found Mrs. Liu practicing calligraphy.

His eyebrows were furrowed, and his expression was solemn, as if he was facing some big problem.

"Daddy." Liu Huayin stepped forward, "Don't you want to see Zhihuai, he's here." ”

Li Zhihuai stepped forward to salute: "Shibo." ”

Mrs. Liu didn't know if she didn't hear it, or if she was immersed in practicing calligraphy wholeheartedly, and didn't answer.

The two of them had to watch him finish his writing quietly.

"Where is Zhihuai?" Suddenly, the old lady Liu opened her mouth and startled Li Zhihuai and Liu Huayin.

Before they could reply, Old Lady Liu said again, "Come and see what I wrote, okay?" ”

How dare Li Zhihuai say that the handwriting written by Shibo is not good, his handwriting is still practiced by others.

"Very well written." He said.

Old lady Liu glanced at him and looked at him carefully.

"Where's your father?" He asked.

Li Zhihuai replied, "I'm not in the house, I'm going to the capital", although he has said this sentence to Mrs. Liu many times.

Old lady Liu snorted: "I just want to go to the capital, that kid is really disobedient!" ”

Li Zhihuai said dryly.

His father is almost twenty years younger than Mrs. Liu, and although he is a person of the same generation, he should be called a child.

It's really weird to just call his father a child in front of him.

Old lady Liu eased her expression.

"But it's hard for him, I'm afraid that your eldest brother will go the wrong way, and it will affect your family at that time, but it's not good." He said, "It's not easy to live in the capital, and it still takes a lot of effort for your eldest brother to stand still, but you still have to tell him not to be dazzled by the power in front of you and forget who you are." ”

This is for their Li Mansion, after all, Old Lady Liu has come all the way, and he knows some things better.

Li Zhihuai said solemnly.

"My eldest brother also knows it in his heart, so be careful in everything." He said.

After mentioning a few more words, Mrs. Liu said that she was tired and asked them to leave.

Li Zhihuai and Liu Huayin bowfully exited the house.

……

……

Liu Huayin's banquet today was not only Li Zhihuai, but also the lords of several other families in Gwangju and people from the government.

They went to the hall where the banquet was held, and the crowd was almost there.

"Liu set up a banquet, but I didn't expect to let all the lords and adults wait for Liu, it's really rude." Liu Huayin apologized and gave the salute.

"What did Master Liu whisper to Master Li?" An old man said, "Shouldn't it be to discuss the marriage of his children?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the others didn't react, but Qi Xu couldn't help but refute.

"Where's the word!" He said, "The child of the Liu family and the daughter of Lord Li are brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, how can there be another marriage." ”

But I was thinking in my heart, no matter what, I have to pay attention to the first come, first come. His wife mentioned it first!

Everyone present laughed, and only pretended not to know about Lord Qi's thoughts.

Think beautifully!

Li Zhihuai snorted in his heart, in order to save some face for Qi Xu, he didn't say it on the spot.

He won't let Yun'er marry into Qi Mansion! The girl in Qi Mansion is troublesome with Yun'er everything, he has always remembered it!

Pei Yan wore regular clothes, and his majesty was undiminished.

"I won't talk about these things today." He waved his hand and said, "We're just here for a drink." ”

"yes, yes." The crowd agreed.

As he was talking, a few more masters came, led by the eldest lord of the palace, followed by the fourth lord of the palace and the old man Qin.

"I'm late." Master Wang stroked his beard, "I didn't let you wait for a long time, did you?" ”

He said with a smile, his pleasant face was easy and friendly.

"No, no." Liu Huayin greeted him, "Master Wang came by coincidence." ”

He bowed his hand to the two people beside him.

He invited the eldest master of the Wang family to a banquet, but he didn't expect the fourth master to come, and he also brought the old man Qin.

This kind of thing was also a common thing at banquets in the past, Liu Huayin didn't take it to heart, but thinking that the Qin family seemed to have a little dislike for the Li family, he subconsciously looked at Li Zhihuai, and sure enough, when he saw Li Zhihuai, he immediately stopped his face.

But there is no way, this banquet is Liu's Mansion after all, and Li Zhihuai can't sweep his face no matter what, so he can only purse his lips and be silent.

After Master Wang took a seat, Master Wang Si sat next to him with Master Qin, gossiping with the master at the same table.

The maids brought the wine cup to the table, and a dazzling array of food was instantly placed on the table.

Old Master Qin gave Fourth Master Wang a look, Fourth Master Wang nodded, got up with a glass of wine and walked to Pei Yan.

"Master Pei, I want to toast you." He said, "You have done too many good things for Gwangju in the past few years, and you are really worthy of the name of 'Pei Qingtian'!" ”

Pei Yan said lightly: "This is my duty, and the fourth master is polite." ”

He didn't show any smugness because of the praise of others, as if it was indeed his responsibility.

Master Wang Si smiled and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Master Pei is really an upright person." He said.

Li Zhihuai glanced at them with a sip of wine on the side.

This should be that Master Qin wanted to ease the relationship with the people in the government to let Fourth Master Wang bring him over, after all, most of the people knew what his son had done, and if something happened next time, it would not be so easy to solve.

The fourth master of Wang toasted one by one, and when he walked in front of Li Zhihuai, he said with a smile: "Lord Li's demeanor has not diminished back then." ”

"Passing the prize." Li Zhihuai calmly bowed his hand.

"I heard that Lingzi is talented and knowledgeable, so I think he was influenced by Lord Li." Fourth Master Wang found the conversation.

Li Zhihuai still said "pass the award".

His Li family and the Wang family had nothing to do with each other, and they couldn't say anything famous, so they simply stopped talking.

The fourth master Wang didn't feel embarrassed at all, and pulled him to say that it was long and short, and also mentioned that their respective youngest sons were studying in the school.

"My little Jiu, I always say that your children are good in the school." He opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Li Zhihuai casually echoed a few words.

At this moment, a man who looked like a scholar in the palace was brought in, he panicked, and because there were big people in front of him, he cowered and didn't dare to explain his intentions.

Fourth Master Wang frowned, quite unhappy about how the person in his hands had no guts.

"What's going on?" He said in a deep voice, "Or what's wrong with Xiao Jiu?" ”

This boy is his son's man, and he knows no matter what.

The scholar shook his shoulders in fright, and then suddenly said in a sharp voice: "Fourth master, ninth young master...... The Ninth Young Master was beaten by the Seventh Young Master of the Li Family! ”

What the?

Li Zhihuai's face darkened.
