Chapter 36: Wang Hua
Li Qing was a little surprised.
He knew very little about Wang Hua, and he knew it all from Wang Shouren, and knew that he was an orthodox Confucian student, with ideals and ambitions, but also some literati paranoia.
Of course, this is also the wind bone.
He really didn't expect that Wang Hua, a humble gentleman, would also give gifts.
After thinking about it, he was relieved again, he is not a Ming official now, but there is no need to taboo this.
"Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm!"
Before he got close, Wang Hua smiled and gave up his hand.
"Lord Wang is polite, please inside." Li Qing returned the salute and tilted his head to look at Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren explained: "My father heard that my husband taught me how to bow and bow, and came to thank him. โ
As he spoke, he handed over the gift.
Li Qing said with a smile: "It's a casual thing, so it's out of sight." โ
"Huh? Mr. Li cannot be excused. Wang Hua Zhengse said, "Mr. teaches dogs skills, that is, dog teachers, and I, as a father, should visit." โ
Li Qing nodded with a smile, Xiao Wang said that he couldn't say it, looking at it like this, Lao Wang couldn't say it either.
After receiving the gift, Li Qing invited the father and son into the house.
'Gollum ......'
At this moment, the hot pot soup has boiled, and the rich aroma comes to the face.
Wang Shouren couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said in surprise: "Sir, it's not noon yet, are you going to have lunch?" โ
"I didn't eat in the morning, sit, let's eat some together." Li Qing skillfully blended the dipping sauce.
Wang Hua was a little embarrassed and said, "It's a coincidence that my father and son came." โ
"Isn't it a coincidence?" Li Qing smiled, "Sit down for a while, I'll go get two more pairs of dishes and chopsticks." โ
Wang Hua felt presumptuous and was about to refuse, but Wang Shouren spoke first:
"Trouble sir."
Then, he smiled at Wang Hua, "Father, my son is indeed a little hungry, and Mr. is not an outsider, so why do you need to see outside?" โ
When his son said this, Wang Hua couldn't refute it again, snorted stupidly, and said apologetically to Li Qing, "It's bothering." โ
"Nothing." Li Qing smiled, took two steps out, and then turned back and said, "Xiaoyun, the East Kitchen has good wine, help me move it." โ
"Okay."
Wang Shouren happily followed......
In a short time, the cups, dishes, and chopsticks were ready, and the wine was warmed.
Li Qing said: "Let's talk while eating." โ
"Hey, okay." Wang Shouren rushed to answer, in exchange for an angry look from his father, but he didn't care, Xu was used to it, raised his hand and put a piece of mutton in his father's bowl, and said with a smile, "Dad, you taste it first." โ
"You...... The master hasn't moved the chopsticks yet, why are you so rude? โ
Seeing that Lao Wang was about to preach again, Li Qing hurriedly said, "This moves, this moves, Xiaoyun and I have known each other for a long time, and we don't need these red tapes." โ
Wang Hua looked apologetic: "It's all Wang's godson who has no way, so Mr. laughed." โ
"It's you who are too polite, although I taught him to bow and shoot, but in private I get along as friends, so I really don't need to be so polite." Li Qingdao said, "If Lord Wang insists on this, it is not beautiful, and I don't like it either." โ
"That'...... Wang is a guest and a host. Wang Hua smiled, and then, with a sigh of gratitude, "Mr. is the only teacher who can stand the dog, and the other gentlemen...... Alas. โ
Li Qing wanted to laugh a little, he could somewhat understand Lao Wang's mood.
To be honest, you really can't blame Wang Hua for being corrupt, in this era, most teaching gentlemen can't stand Wang Shouren's temperament.
Even Li Qing sometimes couldn't help but want to beat him.
Even, Li Qing felt that Wang Hua was very generous.
Li Qing asked: "Xiao Yun learns to shoot with a bow, you don't object, right?" โ
"Well, no objection," Wang Hua nodded as if resigned to his fate, "as long as he doesn't run around blindly, studies hard at other times, and doesn't shout to be a sage, I will be content." โ
It can be seen that he was really tortured by his son.
Wang Shouren hurriedly said: "Father rest assured, my son must study hard and strive for the next township examination and be on the list." โ
"Don't just talk about it, you have to do it." Wang Hua said in a sullen voice, "With just one mouth, you can't say fame." โ
"Hey...... Father taught me. Wang Shouren said yes, trying to alleviate his father's unhappiness.
The father and son do not agree on the concept, but it is not too stiff, Wang Shouren jumps out, but he often accommodates his father.
Wang Hua is fierce, but in fact, he still loves his son.
Even if he was angry, he rarely made a move, and his shot was not heavy, and it was because of his son's rudeness in front of the saint that he couldn't help but put down a heavy hand, and he happened to be seen by Li Qing.
For the most part, father and son are in harmony......
Fatty lamb, fresh fish fillet, tender spinach...... Under Li Qing's secret seasoning, it blooms with the ultimate taste, constantly teasing the taste buds......
Paired with it, the special dipping sauce is simply ...... Absolutely.
Wang Hua, who has always been reserved, gradually let go a lot under the temptation of hot pot on the tip of his tongue, and the frequency of chopsticks is extremely high.
He eats very gently, but his eating speed is no slower than that of his gobbling up and unproductive son.
"Absolutely amazing, really amazing...... Wang Shouren puffed out his cheeks and exclaimed.
"Smack~" Wang Hua slapped his head with his left hand, dipped the dipping sauce with his right hand, and said, "I can't stop your mouth when I eat." โ
After a round, pour in the fatty lamb and fresh fish fillets......
At the same time, it was also time for intermission.
Without Li Qing saying anything, Wang Shouren took out the warm wine, poured wine for the two, and poured himself a glass.
"Father, sir." Wang Shouren raised his glass.
Li Qing raised his glass and touched him, and Wang Hua was a little slower and clinked glasses.
Then, he asked his son to pour wine, saluted Li Qing alone, and thanked him for teaching his son to shoot with a bow.
Another glass of wine entered his stomach, Wang Hua's face was slightly red, and he didn't know whether he was hot or in a hurry.
Seeing this, Li Qing slowed down his pace, put down his wine glass, and chatted, "Lord Wang's time in the Hanlin Academy is not short, it's time to release it, right?" โ
Wang Shouren used chopsticks to stir the ingredients in the pot to prevent them from sticking, and explained: "My father has entered the Ministry of Rites. โ
"Gee, that's congratulations." Li Qing said with a smile, "With Lord Wang's talent, it is more than enough to be a scholar in the future." โ
"Where, where," Wang Hua humbled himself again and again, hugged his fists and arched his hand upward, and said: "The emperor is gracious, and the ministers should live up to the emperor's grace!"
As for the official position...... Go with the flow, official position is not Wang's first pursuit. โ
Li Qing was noncommittal, but it was still a good arrangement for Wang Hua to enter the Ministry of Rites.
Humble and gentleman, very talented, and has extremely high moral requirements, such a person is very suitable to go to the Ministry of Rites, and it is not beautiful to change to other positions.
Wang Shouren said happily: "It is vulgar to be promoted to make a fortune, but what Mr. said is really possible, Dad, you are the emperor summoned alone, and the official position of the emperor, last month the emperor promoted you to be a member of the Ministry of Rites, with your age, and the emperor's weight, it is not impossible to be a scholar before retirement." โ
"What nonsense?" Wang Hua was displeased, "Thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, and there should be no gains or losses." โ
How did he know that the reason why he was valued by the emperor was that he, a 'out of tune' son, had helped a lot.
โโฆโฆ That's what my father said. Wang Shouren pouted secretly, and he didn't argue.
Li Qing smiled, he didn't care about this, but his perception of Zhu Youzhu was much better.
At least, through this incident, it can be proved that Zhu Youzhu has the wisdom to understand people.
Li Qing diverted the topic and said: "I don't know anything about officialdom, and I'm not interested, let's eat and drink." โ
Wang Hua said with a smile: "Mr. is still young, and he will definitely have a lot to do in the future, even if he doesn't want to take the path of the imperial examination, it is like exploring the bag to enter the Tai Hospital with medical skills." โ
Wang Shouren rolled his eyes to the sky: Sitting in front of you is the Yongqing Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and the two Yongqing Marquis of the Ming Dynasty!
"Xiaoyun, what kind of expression do you have?" Wang Hua was displeased.
"Ahaha...... When the meat is cooked, eat it. Wang Shouren snorted, "You're welcome." โ
โโฆโฆโฯ๏ผทฯ.๏ผงo๏ผฎะฌ.ฮฟr๏ผง
โโฆโฆโ
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, both father and son were slightly drunk, and their cheeks were red.
Li Qing was also full of wine and food, stretched his waist, and said, "Xiaoyun, are you still practicing bow shooting today?" โ
"Of course I practice!"
Wang Shouren drank the wine, a little excited, and said proudly, "While the wine is intended, I will hit every shot." โ
"Don't be ashamed!" Wang Hua snorted: "Just your clumsiness, you can't shoot the best bow and arrow, you can't shoot everything, everything is not fine, in the end, the bamboo basket is empty, and studying hard is the right way." โ
Wang Shouren was helpless, "Dad, didn't you agree to allow me to learn bow shooting?" โ
"Ang, yes, but ...... You're wasting your time. โ
Li Qing disagreed and retorted: "Does Lord Wang think that only by studying can he be loyal to the country? โ
"That's not, state affairs are not all in the literature, nor in the military, in the combination of civil and military, the so-called one piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs, is exactly what it means." Wang Hua said, "Civil officials govern the world, and military generals defend the country, and there is no distinction between high and low." โ
After a pause, "Mr. doesn't know, Xiaoyun's body and bones have been weak since he was a child, and he is really not the material to be a military attachรฉ, what can he do with thin arms and legs?" โ
"Father, you are underestimating your son." Wang Shouren was not convinced, "My son has been exercising for nearly a year, and he has been working hard every day, and he is already very strong." โ
"Just you? Hehe...... "Wang Hua instinctively didn't believe it, his son was full of enthusiasm for everything he did, but as a result, nothing satisfied him."
Li Qing was idle, and immediately added to the fire, "Or, do you father and son have a try?" โ
"What are you trying to do?"
"It's more powerful!" Li Qingxin said: Of course, if you want you to fight, I welcome it.
Wang Shouren became interested, he wanted to prove that he was not as unbearable as his father thought, and hurriedly asked, "How can you compare?" โ
"From one-stone bows to five-stone bows, I have them all, see who has the big bow." Li Qing said.
Wang Hua was slightly startled, sobered up a lot, and frowned:
"Mr. Li, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital is heavy, it is not appropriate to hide bows and arrows, if it is just a work of art to make an ornament, but you ...... Hiding so much at once, do you know that this can be punished? โ
Li Qing nodded amusedly: "Of course I know this, but ...... If you say, this is all rewarded by the emperor? โ
