After a pause in the chopsticks in Mr. Li's second-hand hand, he finally understood the purpose of Mr. Zhou's banquet today.

Luo'an Academy is famous, and the peach and plum are all over the world, so it stands to reason that Dean Zhou should not have such a mind anymore......

"Yes, Dean Zhou, I've heard about it too. Many Confucians are interested, but the emperor has not chosen it. Li Lao Er remained silent and answered.

Mr. Peng, who teaches at the college, knows some of the dean's thoughts, so he helped build a ladder at this time.

"Presumably, the emperor wants to find a teacher with both talent and virtue for the second prince, not just to teach homework, right? Therefore, the decision has not been made for a long time.

"In my opinion, the dean could have given it a try. For so many years, we Luo'an have trained many officials for the court and how many high school students. In terms of qualifications, others cannot match the dean in any way. ”

Sure enough, Dean Zhou saw the smiling face, waved his hand and shook his head, and said modestly, "Mr. Peng has been promoted, the old man is bored in Luo'an, and he has not been walking around for many years, I am afraid that his ideas are outdated and he cannot teach the prince."

"What's more, this prince may have to inherit Tianwu. In case there is a bad pool, the old man is a sinner of Tianwu. ”

With that, he looked at Li Lao Er.

originally thought that Li Lao Er would flatter a few words, and then help him test the emperor's tone.

As a result, Li Lao Er only took a glass of wine, took a sip, and didn't say anything at all.

Looking at Li Laosan again, his mouth was like a mussel shell, with a chopstick to steam the fish, slowly picking up the thorns, as if he didn't listen to what they were saying.

Dean Zhou frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Mr. Peng was secretly anxious, laughed dryly, and hurriedly helped to turn around.

"Uncle, is the county lord still living in the palace now? I heard that the emperor treats the county lord like his own daughter, and he loves him very much. ”

Li Lao Er smiled faintly and nodded in response, "Yes, the county lord is beautiful and intelligent, the emperor loves her very much, and the third princess also treats her as a sister." ”

Mr. Peng moved his mouth, not knowing how to continue.

Dean Zhou was a little embarrassed, put down his wine glass after thinking about it, and said, "Uncle Li, our academy has a deep relationship with your family, and we have gotten along well for so many years.

"Speaking of which, I am to blame for this today, I have the heart to be the second prince's husband, and I want Uncle Li to help me find out. But I'm afraid that my uncle won't agree and hurt this old face, so that's why it's like this......

"If the uncle thinks that I am not worthy of being the prince's master, then don't bother the uncle, let's just gossip about a small gathering today, how about it?"

Hearing him be so honest, and it didn't look like he was annoyed and angry, Li Lao Er said, "Please Dean Zhou retreat." ”

Dean Zhou paused for a moment, and the stone in his heart was raised.

He waved the boy and the servant, and asked the old servant to stay at the door.

Li Lao Er said at this time, "Dean Zhou is highly respected, so he is naturally a prince's teacher." However, Dean Zhou has been in the academy all the year round, talking and laughing with Confucianism, and there is no vain correspondence, and he is a literati in his correspondence, so he can't help but think too simple and sincere.

"How do you know that the affairs of the court, like the changes of the wind and clouds, may be turned upside down in an instant. Today, everyone is competing for the prince's master, and maybe tomorrow everyone will abandon it!

"If Mr. Zhou believes me, it is better to wait. How about waiting for the dust to settle and for the holy will to be clear, and then making plans? ”

Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng listened for a long time, and finally looked at each other, and their hearts were full of monstrous waves.

Li Lao Er's words were vague, and he tasted them carefully, and he didn't even say anything.

But they are not fools, they are obedient and listen to the sound, how can they not hear the deep meaning.

Could it be that the second prince inherited Tianwu, what else could not happen?

Or is the emperor not satisfied with the second prince's inheritance of Tianwu?

Then who does the emperor plan to pass on Tianwu to, it can't be the new Pavilion Marquis who is fighting outside, right?

I've heard of giving the throne to my brother and nephew, but I've never heard of passing it on to my cousin!

Seeing them like this, Li Lao Er changed his words, "How about the camellia that I sent to the dean last time?" Do you want me to take it back to Baihua Garden to maintain it for a period of time?

"Camellia is squeamish, sunshine and moisture are a little different, they may wither, and it is better to be careful and safe."

Dean Zhou's pupils shrank, nodded slowly, and responded, "Yes, it's better to be careful and safe." Then bother the uncle, take it with you when you go back later, and help me take good care of it. ”

Li Lao Er finally saw the smiling face and picked up the wine glass, "Respect for this prosperous peace." ”

"Respect the prosperity of the world and peace." Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng also raised their glasses, and of course, there was the silent and smiling Li Laosan.

Several people tacitly changed their conversations, talking about the naughty students of the academy, talking about the new things in Xindu, and talking about the melon fields in Broken Golden Beach.

By the time the end of the day, the sun was already setting in the west.

Li Lao Er and Li Lao San said goodbye to Dean Zhou's courtyard, and did not go far, and happened to meet Mr. Tang who was strolling on the road.

was sick, and the old man's hair was very gray, but Xu was taken care of with his heart, and his face looked good.

Li Lao Er and Li Lao San stopped, smiled and bowed, and left after a few words of greeting.

Mr. Tang stood in place, looking at the backs of the two brothers, his mouth bitter.

If you say you don't regret it, it's false.

He was greedy for a while, and wanted to control his nephew and regain the glory of the family lintel.

Who would have thought that his nephew refused to listen to his arrangement, and offended the Li family and lost a good disciple......

Woke up early, Jiayin woke up to the sound of cicadas, pushed open the window, looked at the wilting trees in the distance, and couldn't help sighing.

Shui Ling and Shui Yun heard the movement, brought a basin of water into the house, and waited for the master to wash.

Taking advantage of Shui Yun's combing of his hair, Shui Ling went to pick out a set of aqua blue dresses and shouted, "County Lord, wear this set today, it will be refreshing to look at." ”

Jia Yin nodded indispensably, Shui Yun hurriedly found some mutton fat jade jewelry from the makeup box, and braided two strings of pearls in the braid.

After this dotting, the good news is a little more gentle and soft than before.

Jiayin turned around twice in front of the mirror, very satisfied, and then ran to find the third princess for breakfast.

It's hot, and everyone has little appetite for the heat.

Shui Yun deliberately got up early and baked a thin spring cake, rolled with sweet and sour fried shredded potatoes, a little shredded pork in Beijing sauce, and served with golden millet porridge, which was very delicious.

The third princess and Jiayin ate two or three before stopping, and the third princess shouted with satisfaction, "Jiayin, when you go home from the palace, remember to leave Shui Yun for me." Woo, if I can't eat her cooking in the future, I feel that life is boring. ”

Caiyun was waiting on the side, startled, and subconsciously looked at Shui Yun, only to find that her face had not changed a bit, but she was smiling gently.

Sure enough, Jiayin refused in one bite, and responded, "Don't make this joke, Shui Yun and Shui Ling are sisters who grew up with me since childhood, and it is impossible to leave it to you!"

"Besides, it's my brain that goes crazy, and I promised, my grandmother and my mother can beat me half to death when they come back!"

The third princess was not angry, she raised her hand and rolled another piece of cake, "Then I'll take advantage of the opportunity to eat a few more bites!" ”

Jiayin smiled at this time, "Don't worry, since you came here, Shui Yun has taught several apprentices." Even if you can't reach her craft, there is always a bit of similarity, and it won't starve you to death. ”

The third princess responded vaguely, "It's pretty much the same." ”
