Chapter 446: Wenwu Filial Piety (Ask for Subscription)
"Li Gongzi, everyone came out to play today, why did you see that you didn't look very interested?" Just as Li Xiao was thinking, a burst of words suddenly came from his ears, interrupting his thoughts.
Not only that, but there is also a cool and moist breeze and a slight smell of alcohol.
Li Xiao stopped his rambling thoughts and slowly opened his eyes, only to see a group of men dressed in ancient brocade clothes around him.
I saw that some of them wore scarves, belts and jade pendants and other ornaments, or held folding fans, and they all looked like children of rich families in their gestures, and the person who asked just now was one of the children of a gentleman who was dressed in a robe and a wrench on his hand.
His eyes consciously looked up and down the surrounding environment, the antique and elegant atmosphere, it was very much like an excellent place for the elegance of the literati, but he was not in the attic, but in a painting boat, along the door of the cabin, you can see the sparkling on the river, on both sides of the Qinhuai River, willow trees are arranged, slender willow leaves fluttering in the wind, the scenery here also contains a unique scenery in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Thoughts came like a tide, and Li Xiao soon had his identity information on this plane. It turned out that he was the son of Wen Xiaolian in Jinling, and this time he and a group of his friends took advantage of the spring to take a painting boat and enjoy the river.
Fortunately, it was not the first time he had experienced this kind of thing, and after a while, he quickly entered his role, and just when he was thinking about how to answer, a man who looked like a polite scholar was relieved of him and said: "What else can Li Gongzi do, there must be a beautiful woman who makes him worry about it, haha." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately agreed.
"Haha, what Brother Wei said is exact."
"Li Gongzi is probably worried about the daughter of Wen Xiaolian, who is famous far and wide and has captivated the country and the city."
"Come to think of it, Li Gongzi is a lot of good fortune, not only as the son of Wen Xiaolian, but also with a beautiful marriage contract, which is really enviable."
Listening to the words of these people, Li Xiao only felt a little inexplicable, but he also captured a few information points from it, he is the son of Wu Xiaolian, and he also has a marriage contract with the daughter of Wen Xiaolian?
Could it be that he still has a marriage contract?
"A few people are really joking, Li is just in a trance when he sees the beauty of this river scene." Because it was the first time to shuttle to this plane, in order to avoid saying too many mistakes, Li Xiao only pursed his lips and smiled perfunctorily.
In it, a son of an official eunuch named Wang Kong sat alone in the corner, with a sad face and a different color, as if there was something bitter in his heart, but he couldn't reveal it, and in the end he could only rely on wine to drown his sorrows.
In the painting boat, there is not only a group of children of rich officials and eunuchs, but also a group of beautiful women around them, either hooked shoulders or hugging their waists, they are wearing thick whitewash, and they all have a charming feeling, although they do not have the kind of beautiful appearance of Qin Huai Bayan, but they are also quite beautiful.
"Childe, come and drink."
"Come on, come on, we must all get drunk today."
On the Qinhuai River, sheng songs burst, warblers and swallows, everyone raised wine to drink, and from time to time a poem popped out, it looked like it was not happy, everyone's faces were dyed with a hint of drunkenness, Li Xiao also drank a few glasses of wine under the hospitality of the singer next to him, but with his skills, no matter how strong the wine was, it was like clear water sliding through his throat after drinking, and he didn't look drunk at all, but was extremely sober.
And at this time, a soft call came from the riverside.
"Young master, young master, the master said that I came to call you back if there was something."
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see that in a pavilion by the river, a man in gray was talking to him across the bank.
With the flood of memories in his mind, Li Xiao could also vaguely identify that this seemed to be a member of his family.
"Brothers, it seems that my father is looking for me, so Li has to say goodbye for the time being, let's get together again in the future."
"If you can't have fun today, let's come back tomorrow."
When the painting boat docked on the shore, Li Xiao bowed his hand to everyone and walked off the boat.
Facing the gray-clothed family Ding Wu San, he trotted all the way to Li Xiao.
"Master asked you to come to me, what is the so-called?" Li Xiao looked the family in front of him up and down, and then asked.
"The master didn't say it, he just asked you to go back." Wu San shook his head and replied, apparently he was only here to pass the word on his behalf.
"Well, let's go back first." Li Xiao nodded without changing his face, he and Wu San left the shore together and walked in the direction of the county town.
As one of the four ancient capitals, Jinling is located in the central region of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is a major transportation artery and is also very prosperous in commerce. The industry is thriving, and on the spacious streets, there are all kinds of shops, and the cries of the shops are also endless, one after another, revealing a lot of prosperity.
It seemed that he was walking on the street casually, but Li Xiao's spiritual power turned into threads of divine thoughts, spreading in the direction of the surroundings.
These thoughts extended to the farthest distance, and then turned back, but the information they brought back did not show any ghosts and evil spirits.
"Could it be that the yang energy on the streets during the day is too strong, and even the ghosts have to be avoided, or maybe they are well hidden?" Li Xiao originally thought that there would be ghosts and ghosts in these places, but after some searching, he didn't find any ghosts, and after thinking to no avail, Li Xiao subconsciously quickened the pace under his feet.
"Why is the young master walking so fast today?" Wu San, the family in the back, was surprised in his heart and muttered to himself, but in order to catch up with the young master, he could only run desperately behind, and after a while, he was already sweating profusely and panting, but on the other hand, the young master was calm and calm, and he didn't show any signs of tiredness.
After turning three or four alleys, a magnificent courtyard finally came into Li Xiao's eyes, the pavilion is towering, the eaves are warped, the plaque with Luan gold characters is hanging, and there are two fierce stone lions guarding each town on both sides of the courtyard, giving people a sense of majesty.
Lee's House!
After a pause, Li Xiao integrated into his current role, swaggered into the mansion, and the servants along the way also bowed their heads and looked respectful after seeing Li Xiao.
……
……
In the courtyard.
A tall, strong and burly middle-aged man, at the moment is practicing martial arts in the courtyard, although he is old, but when he is practicing martial arts, he is also a tiger, with a board and eyes, swept up a burst of fist wind, attracting the servants next to him are also clapping and praising him.
Li Xiao watched quietly beside him, but he didn't say a word.
Filial piety is a public examination in this era, and it is also a subject for appointing officials ~ members. Filial piety is the meaning of "filial piety to the elders, honesty and integrity". Through the promotion of filial piety and honesty, it has created public opinion and fashion in the society of being a filial son at home and being an honest official.
Filial piety is divided into civil and military, and Li Tongshan is Wu Xiaolian, as a four-grade military attaché, he is good at martial arts, filial piety to his parents, and honest work, which also echoes the Wen Xiaolian of Xijun City.
Seeing Li Xiao coming, the middle-aged man in the courtyard Li Tongshan's fists and feet did not pause at all, pouring out like a storm, after about a cup of tea, he gradually regained his momentum, tired and panting slightly, after taking the towel handed by the servant, wiped off the sweat on his forehead and cheeks, and walked into the lobby with a straight face.
Li Xiao also walked in, the corners of his mouth lifted a slight arc, and said to Li Tongshan: "Father, I don't know what you have to do with the child?" ”
"You bastard boy, did you go out with that group of fox friends and dogs again, in the past, my father showed you two paths, one is to let you study poetry and books, and the other is to let you practice martial arts. No matter which two methods it is, he will be able to let you gain fame and embark on a career in the future, but you have no intention of studying, do not seek progress, but go out all day long to fool around, which is really annoying to me! After Li Tongshan took a sip of tea, he immediately threw the teacup on the table again, his face was displeased, and he looked like he hated iron but not steel.
"Father, you often teach me to be broad-minded, so I went to the river today to enjoy it, and I also carefully followed my father's teachings, so that I can be open-minded, have rivers and seas in my heart, and tolerate heaven and earth." When Li Xiao heard this, his mind turned, and he replied seriously.
Sure enough, the owner of this body has the common problem of the children of official eunuchs, has no intention of enterprising, and has made a group of fox friends and dog friends, causing trouble, greedy for fun, and becoming more and more addicted, he is simply a living and free child, so this also makes Li Tongshan, who wants his son to step into the official career, feel disappointed and have a headache.
Listening to Li Xiao's words, Li Tongshan couldn't laugh or cry a little, and said with a slightly gloomy expression: "You haven't learned much about martial arts and poetry books, but your ability to speak well is not bad...... Alas, since you have no intention of learning, then the father will no longer force you to do so. ”
After a pause, Li Tongshan said again: "But the marriage between you and Wen Xiaolian's daughter must be promoted, if you can promote this marriage, then you will also have a long face for me." ”
Li Tongshan, as a martial artist, has not had any merits worth mentioning in the past ten years, so naturally he cannot attract the attention of the imperial court. Therefore, even if Li Tongshan is strong in martial arts, he has nowhere to show it, and his official rank has always stayed at the fourth grade, and he has not been promoted, which makes him feel very regretful.
On the contrary, it is Wen Xiaolian of Dongjun City, who has devoted himself to studying and compiling history books with his brilliant talent, so that he has been valued by today's saints, and now he is an official worshipper, and he also enjoys a high reputation in the entire Jinling County.
Thinking about their respective children again, if the man is not married and the woman is not married, if he can form a family with Wen Xiaolian and promote this marriage, then the combination of civil and military forces is definitely a major event with immeasurable merits, and maybe it can achieve a supreme reputation and pass it on as a good story.
You must know that this civil, military, filial piety, and incorruptibility marriage can be met but not sought, which is also worthy of recognition in the imperial court, maybe Longyan Dayue, he will be able to be promoted.
Therefore, Li Tongshan also attaches great importance to the family affairs of the two families, if it can really be fruitful, then it will also be of great benefit to their two families.
At this time, Li Xiao's heart was already clear, and he said that he hoped that his son would become a dragon and his daughter would become a phoenix, but Li Tongshan didn't have much hope for the owner of this body, so he had to put his hope on this marriage.
Li Xiao, who is used to watching the plot of the bloody TV series, really didn't expect that something like this marriage would befall him one day.
To be honest, Li Xiao has gone through many planes by now, and there are many women who make him unforgettable, including the gentle Ren Tingting, the emotional Claire, and the passionate Maria. The time I spent with them was a wonderful, deep and unforgettable memory.
It can be said that today, there are very few women who can make Li Xiao really tempted, so from an emotional point of view, Li Xiao is indifferent to this marriage.
However, Li Tongshan seems to have made up his mind and wants to promote this marriage, so of course Li Xiao can't disobey his intentions, you know, in ancient times, people have always paid attention to filial piety, and unfilial piety is a very serious crime.
"Let's go, I've already prepared a generous gift, go with me to Xijun City now, go to visit your future old father-in-law, remember that you must behave well then!"
Without stopping, Li Tongshan asked the servant to bring the prepared gifts, and regardless of Li Xiao's wishes, he pulled him into the carriage outside the door and rushed in the direction of Dongjun Town.
In the carriage, Li Xiao thought about it and asked with a grin at Li Tongshan: "Father, my son-in-law is about to come to the door, so I must know something about my father-in-law's family." ”
Li Xiao wanted to know more about the situation of Wen Xiaolian, and he would have more psychological preparations and strategies at that time.
"Look at you, you're confused again, Dongjun City Wen Xiaolian Nie's family, Wen Xiaolian's daughter is surnamed Nie Xiaoqian, I have asked your mother to go to the temple to calculate your birthday, it is destined to be this wonderful fate......" Li Tongshan talked about this future in-law, but talked eloquently, and there was also a bright color in his eyes.
When he heard Nie Xiaoqian's three words, a look of surprise flashed on Li Xiao's calm face, and as for the latter words, he didn't really hear them so clearly.
