Volume 12 A Thousand Autumns Requires a Hundred Battles Chapter 1161 Li Mansion
At night, in front of the main entrance of the Li Mansion in Chang'an, the lights were bright.
The horse's hooves were obtained, and a group of knights came to the front of the mansion, turned over and dismounted, and the servants of the Li Mansion had already greeted them and saluted, and then respectfully took the reins of the horse from the knight's hand and went to settle it.
Zhao Shi was dressed in civilian clothes, and in this cold night, he looked a little thin, but his iron-like body stood upright, but he didn't even have a trace of trembling.
Zhao Shi looked up at the slightly mottled vermilion gate of the Li Mansion, and then looked around himself, thinking to himself, these mansions of these wealthy families in Chang'an look similar, low-key with a strong atmosphere of wealth, as long as they are close, the majesty and nobility precipitated by the years seem to be everywhere.
Compared with others, the Dingjun Marquis Mansion has a lot of taste.
Of course, this is not a place to sigh, and with a slight gesture from the side, Cheng Shuqi immediately took out the prayer note from his arms and handed it to the people of the Li Mansion.
This year, the weather in Chang'an is colder than in previous years, and the heavy snow has fallen twice, but compared to Datong, it is even worse, the north is an important town, the cold wind is howling, and the scene of dripping water into ice is unimaginable for other places south of the Yellow River.
Zhao Shi's current guards have all followed him north to the grassland, and the cold of Chang'an is nothing in their eyes.
They scattered around Zhao Shi in a staggered manner, standing by the knife, as if they had taken root under their feet, and they didn't move the place again, just a few people, and let the cold wind blowing in front of the door of the Li Mansion gradually bring some solemn aura.
The subordinates of the Li Mansion, under the leadership of the butler who was already waiting in front of the door, originally planned to come forward to ask for warmth, but when they saw such a posture. But they all consciously waited in the distance.
A lot of people are muttering in their hearts. The name of the great general Zhao Shi has long been heard like thunder. I saw it with my own eyes today, and this majestic aura really deserves its name, but it ...... In front of the Li Mansion in Chang'an, put such a majestic ...... Doesn't that seem appropriate?
However, although there is dissatisfaction, no one dares to come forward to speak, if it is said that among the several generals of the imperial court, who is qualified to pose like this in front of the Li Mansion in Chang'an. is also the champion general in front of him, and he can't even fold the two families.
Under the light, there was an eerie silence in front of the Li Mansion......
Zhao Shi didn't care about this, just squinted his eyes and looked at the vermilion gate, and said in his heart, Li Pu's shelf is enough, it's just tonight, and it will be like this in the future, hum. Is it really that the power of your Li family is so stable?
Holding the power of the army, he is used to commanding. No matter how cautious people are, arrogance is inevitable.
In fact, it didn't take too long for the door of the Li Mansion to slowly open, and the group waited to welcome them out.
Zhao Shi took a look, for a person with a white beard and a clear face, he looked a little similar to Li Pu, who was in the same door, but it was definitely not Li Pu himself.
In an official uniform, Zhao Shi just glanced at it, and he already had a score in his heart, this should be Li Pu's cousin, Li Ji, the head of the household.
The rest of the people are of different shapes, most of them should be clansmen of the Li family as officials, as well as staff members in the palace.
The few people who came out were still smiling, but when they saw the situation in front of the mansion, their faces froze, and Zhao Shi was burly, standing with his hands in his hands, and he could see it at a glance.
Li Ji blinked, the civilian clothes were really dazzling, and he struggled to suppress the anger churning in his chest, and by the way, he resisted the urge to look down at his official uniform, and slowly walked down the steps in front of the mansion with a reserved lead.
Zhao Shi is not very comfortable in his heart, this is actually one of the reasons why he is reluctant to associate with these big clans, these guys seem to be low-key, but they always have to show that unique sense of superiority, and they don't want to think about it, going back a hundred years, their ancestors don't know where to eat soil.
Of course, this is the common idea of people from the grassroots, although Zhao Shi is now in a high position, but in the final analysis, he came from a humble background, and in some ideas, it is inevitable that this will be the case.
But he also sneered in his heart, invited to the house, didn't say whether the family banquet was an official banquet, then he would treat it as a family banquet, if it weren't for the troublesome women in the family, they didn't want to accompany each other, otherwise, they would have to bring their female dependents over to see how you deal with it......
Who is it for?
Seeing these people coming, Zhao Shi waved his hand slightly, letting the guards dodge.
Far away, these people have already given gifts, and the family has never lacked courtesy.
Zhao Shi returned the salute, and a few people came to the front under the leadership of Li Ji, and this Shangshu lord bowed again, and then said with a smile: "The general has come to the mansion, I will be late to greet you, and please forgive me." β
"Lord Lao Shangshu went out to greet him, it was Zhao Shi's sin." For such an officialdom, Zhao Shi is now familiar with it, and there is not much bluntness in the clichΓ©s.
"Taste the name of the general, when I see it today, the general's demeanor is better than in the past, it is really heartbreaking, and I can talk about it tonight, how fortunate is it?"
"Master Li is too modest."
"Come, Old Man Rong will introduce the general to ......"
After that, there was a greeting greeting, as Zhao Shi expected, these are all members of the Li family's descendants, all of whom serve in various parts of the Beijing Division, the Li family has lush roots and leafy leaves, and there are many side branches, and a few people here, the official position is not obvious, but there is no doubt that the Li family is the closest to the core.
Moreover, several people here are all around thirty years old, and they are all rising stars of the Li family, and in the next ten or twenty years, they may all be high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Zhao Shixin said, the Li family is also well prepared, knowing that they are young, they sent some juniors to accompany them, it seems that it is easier to talk, but the taste in it does not seem to be very comfortable.
If you see each other on weekdays, except for Li Ji, no one here is allowed to kneel and salute, but now they don't even bend their knees one by one......
In a flash, the big head among several people looked a little conspicuous, and after a closer look, Zhao Shi smiled, this one seems to be a little familiar, well, I seem to have seen it once in Caiyufang, called ...... The guy named Li Hun, no, this kid has also fought in his own house and guarded the door for himself.
Therefore, when he had to meet this person, Zhao Shi listened to it, and he was promoted quite quickly, and now he is already a minister, and his official position has reached the fifth grade.
Zhao Shi couldn't help but smile and patted this person's shoulder, "Let's meet twice, I heard that you are clever and have many ideas, why don't you join the army and come under my command, isn't it much better than staying in Chang'an and always thinking about fighting and visiting the Qinglou?" β
The big head and body are short, not that the legs are weak, but the two slaps are really unbearable, but the heart is already shocked, and the heart says, such a trivial matter, I still remember it, how narrow-minded is this? Under your command, is there still a way for me to live?
He couldn't stop slandering in his heart, but his mind was really clever, and he immediately bowed down and replied with a smile: "I don't want the general to remember the lower official, the lower official was young and frivolous at that time, if there is anything offended, please don't be weird." β
Zhao Shi smiled, slapped again, turned his head to Li Ji and said, "The Li family has many talents, congratulations." β
If others said this, Li Ji would naturally take it as sincere approval, but these words came from the mouth of this champion general, but he couldn't hear any taste of praise.
just said lightly: "These juniors have a little talent, but they are not talents, compared with the generals, they are not bad, if there is anything wrong in the future, the general will teach more." β
Zhao Shi glanced at him, compared with his cousin Li Pu, who was a subordinate of the same disciple, Li Pu, this master of the household department was a little less calm and sophisticated, but a little more sharp.
Of course, this is just speculation, he has only talked to Li Pu a few times, and he has only met this person a few times, and he has not even said much, but such a judgment is unreliable.
With this episode, Li Ji didn't want to delay any longer, and hurriedly introduced the remaining two, and then invited him to invite him: "This is not the place to speak, and invite the general to enter the mansion, my brother has already set up a banquet in the mansion, just waiting for the general to come, but he failed to greet the general in person, and let the old man accuse him on his behalf." β
Zhao Shi smiled: "It's okay, please." β
"General, please."
Zhao Shi was no longer polite, stepped forward, and the group surrounded him, walked up the steps, and entered the mansion.
Li Ji turned his head and ordered, "Li Hun, you lead others to settle properly, don't let the guests feel sluggish." β
With a slight command, he turned his head and followed Zhao Shi into the mansion, Li Hun stayed in the strange eyes of others, and felt a little depressed, but he also knew that this fourth uncle had always been strict with his juniors, but he was also very protective of his shortcomings.
I didn't do anything wrong, but the number of people named by the general made the fourth uncle a little unhappy, so he said a little, and then punished himself, which is not strange, and he didn't want to meet the general more.
But he did have some wrongs here, those things back then were all done because of his youth, who hasn't been young?
Now it's being remembered by the general, or ...... Or take the opportunity of the New Year's end approaching and the hundred officials returning to Beijing to report on their work, and seek a term of release?
I was already a little ashamed in my heart, and I had to say goodbye to others back then, and I was even more unconvinced, but now people said a word, but I let myself have the idea of going out of Beijing to avoid the limelight, and my fucking bones are too soft.
But...... It is destined to be released for a term, boil up the qualifications, gain some knowledge by the way, and be familiar with local government affairs, so that you can go further on the eunuch journey, the eldest uncle, the fourth uncle and many people in the family are here like this, that is the right way.
Always staying in Kyori is not a way.
While thinking, he beckoned the guards and generals of the Dingjun Marquis Mansion, let people into the mansion, and went to entertain them without mentioning it.
Zhao Shi couldn't have imagined here that he would change the fate of a child of the Li family with a few words, just talking to Li Ji and coming all the way to the main hall of the mansion......
(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a compliment.) (To be continued......)
