Chapter 2 Homecoming
Li Ge looked down at his crumpled and dusty clothes, then glanced at the three people next to him, and finally his gaze stayed on the man's straight body and dazzling face.
He had an illusion in his mind: this Xue brother was a member of the Li family, and they were a broken family who defected to the Li Mansion.
Vermilion pillars supported the tall doorbeams, and the heavy black wood gates were inlaid with gold knockers.
At the top is a plaque on the upper floor of a material, on which the two big characters "Li Fu" add a bit of majesty and majesty.
The doorman did not recognize their identities and said that he was going in to confess.
It's only been a month, and his appearance has changed so drastically that people can't recognize it?
Li Ge was a little helpless.
Xue Yan arched his hand to Li Ge and the others: "Xue has taken a step first." ”
Li Ge hurriedly pulled his sleeve, and when he saw that his handsome face was indifferent, he couldn't help but withdraw his hand.
He pretended to rub his hands: "Brother Xue, do you have a place to stay in Gwangju?" Without waiting for him to answer, he said, "If you don't dislike it, my house is at the mouth of the alley in the west of the city......"
"Brother Li." Xue Yan waved his hand, "Xue won't bother anymore and say goodbye." ”
Yu Wu, who was originally disgraced, deliberately wiped his face in a stream outside the city because he returned home, and at this time, he shouted at Xue Yan's back with a clean face: "Brother Xue, I still owe you money and haven't paid it back, you tell me where to find you, I'll pay it back." ”
By the way, there's money.
On the way back, they ate with the money of this Xue brother.
Li caught up with him in a few steps: "Brother Xue, you can tell me a place, and we will return the money to you in two days." He spread his hands, "We can't eat and drink for nothing and don't pay you, if you don't agree, I won't let you go." ”
Xue Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Two days later, before three moments, I will go to Yuelailou." ”
With that, he walked away.
"Yuelailou......" Li Ge muttered to himself, "Is Yuelailou's reputation so big, even Brother Xue, who has never been to Gwangju, knows it." ”
A little guy from behind greeted them and shouted at them, "Li Ge, the master let you in!" ”
Li hurriedly turned around and followed the little servant into the mansion, while the others were allowed to go back to their residences.
Only one person is required to report the matter.
Passing through a long winding corridor and passing through a large arch, Li Ge came to a quaint courtyard.
This is the courtyard of the second master, and he was lucky enough to come once a month ago.
On weekdays, he is not qualified to enter here, if there are orders from above, they are all conveyed by Steward Li or Steward Ji.
When he entered the house, he saw Li Zhihuai sitting at the top, and immediately saluted respectfully: "Second master." ”
Li Zhihuai waved his hand and motioned for the little guy to retreat.
He stood up and walked up to Li Ge, didn't ask anything about the situation first, just smiled and said, "Li Ge, your beard is also chic." ”
When Li Ge heard this, he touched his gradually thickening beard, and smiled dryly, not knowing what to say.
What does chic mean? He doesn't understand.
Li Zhihuai took his hands and stood in front of the hall: "What happened to you when you went to Yizhou this time?" ”
Li Ge told them all about the heavy rain, giving gifts to the second master's friends, and meeting the mountain bandits, wiping their sweat while talking to show how dangerous they were.
"The rain fell for two days, and some of the crops were flooded, and the wooden houses on the roadside were a little collapsed......"
"There was also a child who was washed across the river by the water and picked up by a strong man......"
"Then Master Zuo said that you will come back to Gwangju to find the second master......
He found that the second master was tired of listening to him babbling, as if he was listening to some interesting story, so he continued: "When I went back to the city, I met those mountain bandits, but they were fierce! Coming with a knife to cut someone......"
Li Ge saw that the second master showed a hint of a smile, and couldn't help but ask: The second master likes to listen to stories of fighting, killing and killing, and he thinks that he doesn't like it as a scholar.
“…… Brother Xue fell from the sky, and with one move, he beat the leader of the mountain bandits to the ground......"
"Is that man so heroic? Defeated the mountain bandits in one move? Li Zhihuai showed great interest, and his eyes brightened, "Isn't he very powerful?" ”
"It's amazing, it's amazing." Li involuntarily agreed.
"And where is he now?"
Li Ge was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, little one." Seeing that the second master was a little disappointed on his face, he hurriedly explained, "Second master, although the little one doesn't know now, but in two days he will go to Yuelailou to meet that Xue brother, if the second master wants to meet this person, I will bring him over." ”
"No need." Li Zhihuai waved his hand.
Before Li Ge could suppress the confusion in his heart, he heard the second master say: "It just so happens that I am going to read the building the day after tomorrow, and I will go with you to meet him." ”
"He saved you, which is equivalent to saving me, after all, I sent you, and you are from my house, so I want to thank him."
Can it still be understood in this way?
Li Ge nodded: "Yes, second master." ”
A deep feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.
The second master is so good to him, in the future, he must be loyal to the second master, and he will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire.
……
……
In his father's study, Mr. Lee rummaged through the books piled up high on the shelves.
My father was very fond of books, and the papers were cleaned every day to prevent dust from accumulating.
She took a chair and stood up, reaching for the top layer of the old tome wrapped in a crust.
Finally removing the book from the book, she caught it steadily, and stepped down in the chair.
Plastering the dust off it, she sneaked out of the study with the scroll in her arms.
His father never let others enter his study without permission, except for his mother and her, other people's families treat boys as treasures, and in my father's place, girls are the treasures in my heart.
The second brother broke his precious inkstone back then, coaxed her to be a backrest, and was not trained, and the seventh brother clamored for the glass lantern in her hand, and was also reprimanded.
They were all envious, and they once said that it would be nice if they were girls.
This is only a girl's treatment.
She ran as fast as she could, reaching a corner gate and disappearing into the green foliage.
"Fourth brother!" Li Mingyun threw a book over, trying to knock Li Mingyao, who was fiddling with his clothes, unconscious, "Next!" ”
Li Mingyao stepped forward to take the tossed scroll, and turned in a flamboyant circle.
He flipped through the scrolls in his hand at will, and said with a smile: "You are really good, Ming Yun, I have got all the books in the second uncle's collection." ”
Li Mingyao is the eldest son of Li Mingyun's fourth uncle, Li Zhichun, and is the fourth in the family.
In this assessment of Elm Academy, he has been given a death order by his father: if he doesn't pass, he will follow his uncle to the army, otherwise he will not be able to become a martial artist.
"That's nature." Li Mingyun said, "Fourth brother, you must study hard this time, don't wait for the fourth uncle to reprimand you." ”
"I won't be scolded." Li Mingyao pursed his lips and continued to flip through the book.
Li Mingyun looked at his gradually focused eyebrows and couldn't help but smile.
It seems that the fourth brother really spent effort this time.
She blessed the fourth brother in her heart.
