"I heard it wasn't a chatter, but who are Daddy and Uncle going to let Sister see?" Ah Lian didn't know how to open her mouth, and she was so panicked that Ah Ying reached out to cover her mouth.

"Uh, this ......." Xu Tong turned his face and looked at the eldest brother, meaning: This is your daughter, say something.

Xu Bu finally held his breath, stroked his beard and thought about it, and said, "Actually, there is nothing bad to say. Eldest sister, I originally wanted to promise you to the Liu family, but you said that you would not marry Liu Qi, so forget it. Look at the book

Just now, my second uncle and you were talking about Li Sanlang, and the second uncle thought that this kid was good and had a talent for civil and military affairs. Under the age of sixteen, he fought for the inspection of the Nine Ranks, and now he is under the orders of Zhao Tongzhi to sit in charge of Yu Gan, and he has thousands of tiger and wolf soldiers under his command."

He endured it and didn't tell the girls the news of the victory, "It's not enough that we both think it's good, it's up to you.

Then Liu Qi, since you have seen him and know that he is a reckless, do you want to look at this Li Sanlang? Although it is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, it is ....... Your mother is gone, my father's ......."

"Daddy, don't say it. If both Daddy and Second Uncle think this person is worth seeing, then the daughter will see him." After speaking, A-Ying covered her face with her sleeve and turned her head. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

"Sister is not afraid, if you are shy, Lian'er will look at each other for you!"

Ah Lian's words made her sister stomp her feet, causing Xu Bu and Xu Tong to laugh. "That's fine," Xu Tong suddenly said, "If Ying'er goes by herself, it seems abrupt, it's better to ask Lian'er to go with her, it's innocent, and you can cover it up as much as you want."

Xu Bu nodded, summoned the girls over and instructed them like this, and then called:

"Yutong, you go to the front hall to confess, and say that there are business guests visiting in front of you, and the three of us brothers will come forward to receive you. Li Gongzi has a lot of inconvenience there, so I invite him to sit in the East Garden for a while, and by the way, he will also sober up, and we will come back to accompany us when we send the guests away."

When the maid heard this, she knew that she had the opportunity to see this legendary Li Gongzi in the four alleys earlier than her own young lady, so she immediately agreed and happily walked forward.

Yutong is 16 years old this year, eight months older than A-Ying.

Like her, who grew up with Miss from a young age, most of them will marry with the girl in the future, so they are special and special about the choice of Miss's husband, which is why there were so many matchmakers in ancient times!

The maids always like to try to find out the private stories of the young lady's future husband with great interest, like the unlucky Liu Qi, because the story of the havoc in the flower building reached Yutong's ears, which caused A-Ying to be alert.

This is similar to the fact that girls in later generations always love to send their girlfriends to test their boyfriends.

But definitely not every maid is an excellent little matchmaker, give the lady an idea to find the right person, the girl is happy in her life, if it is wrong, it is bad. Fortunately, most maids are more conscientious and responsible, just like Yutong is also one of them.

Seeing her come in, Xu Xian was inexplicable, and was about to speak, when he saw her Yingying bowing down to the third master and Li Gongzi, and then said the reason why she came here.

Xu Xian knew that this was Ying'er's personal maid, and he was a little suspicious, but when he heard what the two brothers meant, he nodded and said to Li Dan:

"In this case, if the virtuous nephew has no urgent official business, he might as well go to the back to rest, there is also a couch in the flower hall, which is very convenient."

"Then disturb your house." Li Dan hugged his fists. He had just eaten a few glasses, so it was not appropriate to return to the yamen like this, so it was better to let Mao Zai go back and inform him first, and wait here for the wine to fade before leaving.

So he followed Yutong out and turned into the back of the East Cross Courtyard, where there is a small courtyard. An oval pond of water is the center, and there is a tea-making pavilion on the stone bank around it, and a corridor along the wall on the east side.

There is a small peony garden and a vine garden facing the two flower halls. Under the west wall are several plum trees, more than a dozen bamboo poles, and the ground is covered with green and fluffy clover.

When I entered the house, I saw several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. There is a row of flower stands near the window, on which are pots of various orchids. "Yo, there's also Dendrobium orchid, this is not easy to raise!" Li Dan said in surprise.

"Childe also understands flowers?" Yutong blinked in surprise, and looked down at the waist knife beside Li Dan again.

"I don't know flowers, I do

Solve the plant."

"Position? Is Childe talking about the inspection or the deputy envoy of the regimental training?"

Li Dan laughed, watched her make tea for herself, and said:

"I'm not talking about errands, I'm talking about plants and flowers. Life in this world is roughly divided into two categories: plants and animals, and plants are divided into seed plants and spore plants, orchids are seed plants, and mushrooms are spore plants."

"What about people?"

"Man is not a plant, man is an animal. There are two major groups of animals: vertebrates and invertebrates, for example, shrimp and crabs are invertebrate, and fish and snakes are vertebrates."

"Childe knows so much!" Yutong wanted to ask a few more words, but suddenly saw Ah Lian's little head flashing by the door, so he put the tea tray on the coffee table, asked Li Dan to rest, and then quietly retreated. When I got to the door, I saw that it was the two sisters.

"Yutong, what did you say to him and he smiled like that?" Ah Lian asked curiously.

Yutong told the conversation he had with Li Dan just now, Ah Lian didn't understand, frowned and pouted: "What do you mean, I didn't understand!"

Ah Ying's eyes flashed, she thought about it, told her to guard the gate of this courtyard and not to disturb anyone, and then pulled her sister by herself and walked in cautiously. After only two steps, he suddenly heard a sneer in the voice in the hall, and said:

"How dare you take it out as a birthday gift? Still a showman! Oops, how did this examiner do it? If I sit down in the hall, I will take custody of him and degrade him." A-Ying made a silent gesture and pulled her sister to sit down on the edge of the pool.

After a while, I heard it again: "Oh, your brother just learned the words of Yan Gong, and he still has to use his old man's famous sayings, which is really embarrassing for others!" With you being General Shi Zhaoyi, I can't look down on anything!"

Ah Lian was surprised: "Sister, he dares to scold General Zhaoyi!"

Ah Ying hurriedly "shhh

"Interesting, I didn't expect that there were still people in this Yugan City who wrote this sentence, and it was actually the handwriting of Tiefuzi. It is understandable that people in the world pursue elegance, but when they pursue to the point that Ye Gong is a good dragon, this is really unexpected!"

It turned out that the calligraphy and paintings of the Xu family were all collected by the Xu family from all over the place, and the merchant class was eager to buy such things, decorating them at home to show people their elegance, similar to the rich people of later generations who went to Sotheby's to snap pictures.

But Ah Lian was a little unhappy when she heard this, and broke free from her sister's hand and ran to the door, crossed her waist and shouted:

"Hey, in that room, it's not good for you to talk about other people.

If you just say that the painting is not good, the writing is not good, the words written by Mr. Tie are well-known in the county, and Fan Wenzhenggong's words are also excellent, why do you become a good dragon in your mouth again?"

Ah Ying didn't stop her sister, and she was embarrassed to run out with her, so she had to hide behind a banyan tree and knock out secretly.

Li Dan had nothing to do, and the wine was a little stronger, so he got up and walked around the room, and inadvertently swept his eyes to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

I couldn't laugh or cry when I looked at it, knowing that the Xu family bought it at a high price to put it on the façade, so there was all the mess, it was just a pile of copying and studying, and there was no real artwork or creation with great connotation.

He thought it was funny, and by the virtue of the fact that there was no one to drink, he became presumptuous in this house.

Hearing the sound outside, Li Dan was startled, and suddenly woke up to the fact that the county lord Fan often claims to be the descendant of Wen Zhenggong (Fan Zhongyan), and this iron edict may be a slap on his back when he writes this character, but I don't know how this character ended up in the Xujia Flower Hall.

However, he didn't have time to solve this public case, and when he heard the voice, the other party was a little girl, and he was in the back house, so he didn't know which lady he was here and broke in.

Li Dan regretted himself Meng Lang a little, stretched out his head to peek at him and laughed dumbly, but he didn't expect that his loud voice was actually a little girl.

He was childlike and wanted to make a joke, it was not appropriate to go out face to face, so Li Dan stood behind the door frame and deliberately cleared his throat as if he was very old: "Which woman is this? I'll rest here for a while, and you'll step back if you have nothing to do."

"I know who you are, you are Li Sanlang, half a year younger than my sister!" Lian'er's words stunned Li Dan and made A-Ying blush with shame.

"Uh, you know me? So, who are you?" Li Dan really doesn't know much about the next generation of the Xu family.

"I'm Ah Lian, and my sister Ah Ying is my uncle's daughter, and he calls my father the second uncle."

"Ha, you are the daughter of Second Uncle Xu!" Li Dan put his mind at ease and looked at this little girl with a mouthful of "me", full of innocence and innocent appearance.

"Don't interrupt, you haven't answered my question yet!" Unexpectedly, the little girl returned to her original words in a blink of an eye: "Why do you say that Mr. Tie is Ye Gong Haolong?"

"Uh, you know what's written on it?" Li Dan wanted her to come in, but immediately dispelled this idea.

"You know, the worries of the world are worried!" The little girl replied in a crisp voice.

"Okay, Ah Lian can know the last sentence of Fan Gong's words?"

"Joy in the world after tomorrow!"

"Quite right!" Li Dan stroked his palms and smiled encouragingly, and then said, "Girl, do you know what Fan Gong's original name is?"

Ah Lian was stunned, she wanted to answer the answer that everyone knew, but suddenly tilted her head and wondered, knowing that since he asked like this, things shouldn't be so simple. Even Ah Ying behind the tree was taken aback, and then listened to Li Dan continue:

"Fan Gongshu came out, lost his childhood, and remarried with his mother and named 'Zhu Shuo (Yue Zi homonym). and the eldest twenty-two, knowing his life and leaving home, entered Yingtian Academy to study.

In the third year after the middle jinshi, he welcomed his mother and returned to his family name. Wen Zhenggong admired the great Confucian Wang Tong, so he named it after his character 'Zhongyan'." Speaking of which, Li Dan paused:

"Because of his background, he has lofty ambitions and steadfastness, and although there have been ups and downs in the officialdom, he has always been able to make achievements that have been praised by the local people for hundreds of years.

At that time, his friend Mei Yaochen advised him to talk less and be less nosy, and Wen Zhenggong replied in "Spirit Bird Fu": Rather live than die silently. He is the mouth of the spirit bird, expressing the view that he is born responsible and faithful to his duty.

Although Wen Zhenggong is upright by nature and does not flatter, he can say that 'the worries of the world are worried first, and the joy of the world is happy after the world), which not only shows the style of the literati, but also shows that he treats the world with the heart of a national scholar and is the representative of the new class of scholars.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were loyal to the monarch or lord, but Fan Gong advocated loyalty to the world, the country, the nation and the king, and he was more ambitious and broad-minded than his predecessors, which is why I commented that he was ambitious.

But what he means by this, how can the Iron Sect and others understand? Like him, he has to marry a concubine when he is old, he must eat sweetly, sleep warmly, love to listen to the flattery of his juniors, and like to judge people in private.

If you say that he can understand what it means to 'worry about the worries of the world first, and rejoice in the joy of the world after the world, then don't you have to wait until the sun rises in the west and the heavens and the earth turn upside down?' That's why I said he was Ye Gong and a good dragon!"

As soon as Li Dan finished speaking, he heard the sound of "whoop", and when he looked around, he saw that the little girl was not smiling, and he was suspicious.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard Ah Lian say, "Well, even if what you say makes sense. How did General Zhaoyi's Yan Ti provoke you?"

"I didn't provoke you." Li Dan sneered: "He's ......." As soon as he was halfway through speaking, he suddenly spotted the pretty face that unconsciously emerged from behind the tree, and he was stunned, thinking that the scene was so beautiful.

He suddenly remembered, and immediately took out the splint from the iconic green cloth satchel of the Tsing Shirt team on his right, opened a blank piece of paper, and took out a pencil to sketch.

Xiaolian saw that there was no sound inside, and asked the general what was wrong, and then he came back to his senses and swallowed and foamed, and said while drawing:

"People say that his words are dignified and majestic, his writing is vigorous, and his books are like his people. Yan is fair, straightforward, upright, and modest. That Zhaoyi general Zhao Jintang, he is actually a weak chicken!

Hundreds of people went out, and dozens of people chased after them, and finally had to flee back to the city. What do you say is the use of a person like him learning to face the body for a lifetime? How much money and how much literature and righteousness can he learn from Yan Gong?

I don't have to disgrace the royal family! Exactly: the general went to the battlefield, majestic and dignified. But hearing the sound of the golden drum,

The troops are also in a hurry."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two little girls burst into laughter. Li Dan gave a generous salute in the door: "Li Sanlang has seen Sister Aying, Sister is fine!"

Ah Ying couldn't help but smile and return the salute, but there was a ghost in his heart who didn't dare to look at him directly, and said softly: "Du Jiupin is still so narrow, and the slave thinks he won't take it."

"Sister is right, Saburo remembers. It's just laughing at home, and you never dare to go outside!"

"Don't do this at home, people have mixed mouths, and it may damage the king's name if it is spread out."

"Okay, little brother remembered!" Li Danxi is gentle and persuasive, so she should say a word.

At this time, Ah Lian was unhappy next to her: "When you two meet, you will sing and harmonize, and you don't care about me?"

Ah Ying's face suddenly turned red to the root of her ears, and she hurriedly hugged her into her arms, complaining, "This girl is talking more and more, and she has to be hungry twice to make her stomach empty!"

Ah Lian smiled and asked Li Dan, "Li Sanlang, you said that others have said so much, but you don't see how you are capable. Do you dare to leave a word in my house? I'm begging Daddy to hang up here too, and see if anyone is shaking their heads and commenting on it!"

"I'm afraid no one dares to comment." Li Dan shook his head.

"Why?"
