Chapter 10 Grandparents and Grandchildren Chat at Night

The British Gong Li family is a big family, Li Tao has two sisters, two younger brothers, two sons, two daughters, and a total of five grandchildren.

Judging from the current situation of the country where the Tang Dynasty needs population, the Li family can undoubtedly be regarded as a model household, because there are enough births.

Because of Li Tao's high and powerful achievements, the three dynasties of heaven successively gave Li Tao's peers and children and grandchildren many official positions, which was called "Enyin" in ancient times.

Enyin means that no matter whether you have the ability or not, as long as your relatives are very good, you can be an official, you can not be awesome, and it is better not to be awesome.

It is enough for a family to produce a powerful character, and there are more heads, and the head of the emperor.

Li Tao's brothers and heirs are all officials outside, and among the grandchildren, Li Jingye, Li Jingyou, Li Jingzhen, etc. all have official positions.

Li Qinzai is the youngest of his grandchildren, but unfortunately he is too bastard, he has done a lot of bastard things before, and his reputation in Chang'an is almost stinky.

Even if the Son of Heaven intends to favor Li Qinzai, he does not dare to seal his official position indiscriminately, for fear that something will happen.

If a person with an official position does something bastard, he will lose the prestige of the country.

After the Pegasus jade carving was sold, it is estimated that Li Zhi also quietly wiped a cold sweat in the harem.

What's more, fortunately I didn't give this bastard an official, otherwise it would have been a slap in the face of the royal family.

So Li Qinzai is twenty years old this year, but he is still white, and he is also broken...... Well, begging for kindness, at least there is no psychological burden when doing bastard things.

Solving a big trouble, Li Qinzai returned to the gate of the Li Mansion from the suburbs of Beijing alone.

It's been a few days since he crossed over, and Li Qinzai is probably familiar with the Li family, and his impression of the Li family is neither good nor bad, and his feelings are very plain.

There is no love or hate.

After the holy decree was released, after Li Qinzai returned to Chang'an City, he still rushed back to the Li family as soon as possible, not because he loved the Li family, but because he had nowhere to go.

Today, he still can't fully integrate into the role of "Li Qinzai", but is like a calm bystander, calmly watching all the people and things in this strange era, not sad or happy.

was welcomed back to the mansion by the subordinates, except for Liu Asi's sincere smile, the subordinates in the mansion did not show any excitement about Li Qinzai's return and return.

The smiles they showed were only professional, and when Li Qinzai was a social animal in his previous life, he was already familiar with this kind of smirk in the workplace.

The previous owner of Li Qinzai's body was obviously not a good person, and judging from the performance of the subordinates in the mansion who avoided them like snakes and scorpions, Li Qinzai was very vicious to them.

When he entered the front yard, the housekeeper Wu Tong greeted him, and his eyes turned red when he dragged the corner of Li Qinzai's sleeve, and he didn't know if it was true or not, but he really shed a few tears.

"Wu Shaolang has suffered, how can he bear such a sin, don't you dare to cause trouble in the future, don't you dare to cause trouble......"

Li Qinzai stretched out his hand and wanted to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, but thinking that he had peeked at himself to pee, his motive and intention were unknown, and he didn't know what his quirks were, so he hesitated for a while and didn't dare to shoot it after all.

"It's good that Shaolang is back, the old man is waiting for you in the backyard residential study, and the old man will send you over."

The two walked into the backyard, and Wu Tong led Li Qinzai to stop in a quiet and remote courtyard with unique scenery.

There is only one room in the courtyard, with blue bricks and red tiles, simple and not ugly.

Li Qinzai stood under the wooden steps of the entrance of the house, and thought for a while before he stepped in.

There is a delicate hollow copper ball hanging on the beam of the study, and sandalwood is burned inside, and the taste is elegant and quiet.

Li Tao sat on the main seat in a lilac civilian robe, flipping through the book with an indifferent expression.

Seeing Li Qin come in, Li Tao raised his eyes and glanced lightly, and his gaze continued to fall on the pages of the book.

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly, Li Tao's reaction was a little cold, but he could understand.

Don't be a descendant, this is the treatment at home. The more bastards you are outside, the more humble you are at home.

Li Qinzai silently saluted Li Tao: "My grandson has seen my grandfather." ”

Li Tao snorted, pointed to a futon in front of him, and said, "Sit." ”

Li Qinzai sat down on his knees, his waist straight, his legs parallel, the soles of his feet folded, his hands on his legs, and his eyes looked straight ahead.

This was the standard sitting position of this era.

Li Tao ignored him and was still reading.

After a long time, Li Tao's gaze finally left the book, glanced at Li Qinzai, and said lightly: "I think Your Majesty has issued an order to exonerate you, otherwise you are still on the way to Lingnan at the moment." ”

Li Qinzai lowered his head and said, "Yes, thank you grandfather for interceding for your grandson." ”

Li Tao shook his head: "Old man Moxie, the troubles you have made since you were a child were all caused by the elders of the family who helped you turn around, but this time, it was you who saved yourself." ”

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I also want to thank my grandfather, if there is no grandfather to help my grandson reach heaven, my grandson will still not be able to save himself." ”

Li Tao looked at him deeply.

In just two sentences of dialogue, he could already deeply feel that this grandson had a very different temperament from the past, and he was like two people.

How to say it, the grandson in front of him is much more mature, he no longer talks and does things, and he is also very polite and tutoring, and he will not play tricks.

He seems to be a completely different person, this person is very strange, obviously the eyebrows and eyes are still him, but Li Tao doesn't know him.

couldn't find a reason, Li Tao could only explain in his heart that the change in his grandson was because he had suffered a catastrophe and grew up overnight.

Taking a drawing from the table, Li Tao pointed to it and said, "This thing is really created by you?" ”

You don't need to look at Li Qinzai to know that it is a drawing he gave to the craftsman of the Ordnance Supervisor, and the mechanism of the new strong bow is drawn on it.

"Yes."

Li Tao narrowed his eyes: "You drink and feast with fox friends and dog friends all day long, sleep in flowers and willows, and I don't see how many books you have read, you are half blind, why do you have such a ability to make a strong bow with double the range?" ”

Li Qinzai's face was a little dark.

Although it was my grandfather's evaluation, I still felt a little hurt in my heart......

Chickens are patriotic, why can't the children of the gentlemen make some contributions to the country?

"Grandfather, grandson just saw the weapons at the door yesterday, and he realized it for a while, so he got something occasionally." Li Qinzai said humbly.

Li Tao asked again: "This thing is quite dexterous, it can save the power of drawing a bow, and it can reach a distance of two hundred steps, and it is not accurate, but it is only an occasional gain that is far away from the thousand-year-old wisdom of the predecessors. ”

"Don't worry, grandfather, they have already been reincarnated......"

"Bastard!" Li Tao glared at him fiercely, then sighed, and said: "That's it, even if you are lucky this time, you can escape the catastrophe, if you change to weekdays, even if you create this new strong bow, I am afraid you will not easily get away with it......"

Li Qinzai wondered: "Why? ”

Li Tao's cloudy eyes gradually deepened: "After the Northern Turks were swept away, there were still Tiele nine surnames who frequently committed crimes, looting and slaughtering my Tang people. His Majesty has long had the intention of going north, and when he arrives in the autumn of this year, he may mention Wang Shi and the nine surnames of Tiele in the north. ”

"The war is imminent, you just happened to offer a sharp weapon, which can be used by the country, and Your Majesty let you go, otherwise, it will be difficult for the court and the world to hide it, how can Your Majesty exempt you from your sin?"
