Chapter Eighty-Seven: Banquet is Better than Hongmen (2)
Seeing this person walk out of the inner room, Chu Mofeng knew that this person was Li Shimin's father, the current ambassador of Hedong in Shanxi, and Li Yuan, who was about to be promoted to the palace supervisor of Taiyuan and Jinyang, hurriedly led Mo Ziyao forward and said: "Lord Li's words are serious, the boy Mofeng is only a Jianghu ranger, and Neizi Ziyao has only learned the art of Qihuang for a few days, how can he be called a hero and a miracle doctor, if it is spread out, it will not be a joke of the world." ”
"Well, there are not many young people who know how to be modest these days, boy, since today is a family banquet, then we don't want adults and villains, the old man called you a good nephew. Li Shimin carefully looked at the two young people in front of him, and when he saw that the two of them were well-behaved, he liked it very much, and stroked his beard and laughed.
"The little nephew climbed high and saw Uncle Li. Hearing Li Yuan's words about to bring the relationship closer, Chu Mofeng also hurriedly climbed the pole, thinking that the relationship was closer, and he had to be more cautious when speaking, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, in fact, the little nephew came with his inner son this time, mainly because he heard Brother Shimin mention that you have been feeling a little unwell recently, so he specially brought his inner son to do some diagnosis and treatment for his uncle. ”
"This ......" Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and his wife suspiciously, and the eldest grandson hurriedly got up and said: "Father, you don't know, Sister Zi Yao studied under Luoyang Chao Yuanfang, a few days ago, I went to visit Brother Chu's house with Erlang, and after a detailed discussion with Sister Zi Yao, I found that she not only has excellent medical skills, but also has a lot of unique insights into some incurable diseases, so my daughter-in-law dared to ask Sister Zi Yao to come to her door to diagnose and treat her father. ”
"Okay then, then there's a nephew and daughter-in-law. After listening to the words of the eldest grandson, Li Yuan no longer had any doubts in his heart, and then stretched out his wrist and motioned to Mo Ziyao to give him a pulse.
Mo Ziyao stepped forward and put her hand on Li Yuan's wrist, her eyes closed slightly to feel the pulse from her fingertips, and after thinking for a moment in her heart, she had an answer, and then asked: "Uncle, have you felt dizzy when you wake up every day, lose your appetite, dry mouth and tongue, and occasionally be a little upset?"
"Well, yes, how do you know this?" Li Yuan couldn't help but have a hint of admiration in his eyes when he heard that the delicate woman in front of him had told her that her recent situation was exactly the same.
"This is what your pulse tells me, so let's wait for me to prescribe a prescription for strengthening the spleen and stomach, regulating qi and replenishing blood, and then with my special soothing incense, it is guaranteed that the medicine will be cured in less than ten days. Mo Ziyao smiled at Li Yuan, and then said, "Uncle, don't stay up late while you drink the medicine." ”
"You girl, how do you know that I stay up late?" Hearing Mo Ziyao say his only bad habit, Li Yuan couldn't help but be puzzled, to say that what he said before was known by the number pulse, but at this time, Mo Ziyao did not give herself the number pulse, so how did she know about the fact that she likes to stay up late?
Mo Ziyao said to Li Yuan with a smile: "It's only a quarter of noon at this time, and your eyes are still bloodshot, and you can't stop yawning since you came out, so you must have stayed up late a lot." ”
When Li Yuan heard this, he suddenly realized, thinking that this girl was really clever when he looked at and heard it with one hand, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and then opened his mouth and said: "Shimin, take the ancient classic book in my study and give it to my nephew and daughter-in-law as a gift." ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin hurriedly got up and went to Li Yuan's study to take out the ancient classic book and hand it over to Mo Ziyao, only to hear Li Yuan say: "Girl, this ancient classic was given to me by an old friend in the past, but no one in my Li family practices medicine, since I met you today is fate, you can only use this book in your hands." ”
Seeing this, Mo Ziyao glanced back at Chu Mofeng, and after receiving Chu Mofeng's signal, she hurriedly made a big salute to Li Yuan and said, "Then the nephew and daughter-in-law have thanked their uncle." ”
At this time, the next person came to report that the banquet had been arranged, Li Yuan got up and said to Chu Mofeng and the others: "Since the wine and food have been prepared, then let's go to the flower hall to eat and chat." ”
Chu Mofeng hurriedly made a gesture of invitation to Li Yuan, and then pulled Mo Ziyao to follow behind Li Yuan and the others towards the flower hall.
After coming to the flower hall and sitting down, someone had already filled everyone's wine glasses, Li Yuan raised his wine glass and said: "Today, Mo Fengxian's nephew can bring his nephew and daughter-in-law here, the old man is very happy, come, let's drink this cup together." ”
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly drank the first glass of wine with Li Yuan, and after a sip of strong wine, a hot feeling rushed down his throat to his stomach, Chu Mofeng hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food and filled it in, only then did he feel more comfortable.
Seeing this, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Virtuous nephew, I won't take out the Zhang Ye drunk you gave me, this is the first Fenjiu this year, this is only available here, how about it, are you still used to drinking it?"
"Let the uncle laugh, the little nephew usually doesn't drink much spirits, so he was a little uncomfortable for a while. Chu Mofeng waved his hand, forcibly held back the hot feeling in his throat, and hurriedly took a sip of tea.
With the second and third cups in succession, Chu Mofeng gradually got used to the feeling of Fenjiu, and Li Yuan saw that he was no longer as embarrassed as he was just now, so he couldn't help but nod in his heart, and then said, "What is the virtuous nephew doing now?"
"Back to my uncle's words, the little nephew is still idle at home, occasionally going out to do something. When Chu Mofeng heard Li Yuan's question, he muttered that in his heart, and hurriedly answered.
"A manly husband should have a big career, how can he be idle at home all day long? Then Ling Zun and Ling Tang are okay now?" Li Yuan raised his wine glass and motioned for Chu Mofeng to continue drinking, and then said: "If you are willing to enter the army, then the old man will arrange a chance for you to come to the army for a few years to experience a few years, with your martial arts and intelligence, it will not take you a few years to sit in the position of Shi Wansui, what do you think?"
"Back to my uncle, my father died of illness a few years ago, leaving only my mother to live in my hometown. As soon as Li Yuan asked about his parents, he dealt with it vaguely.
Suddenly, I heard Li Yuan mention his father-in-law Shi Wanzai, and I felt a sigh in my heart, thinking that he already knew my origin, thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and picked up the wine jug, respectfully poured a glass of wine for Li Yuan and said: "Thanks to my uncle's love, my little nephew has always been lazy and used to asking himself, and I can only return to you after my little nephew asks for my mother's opinion." ”
"Well, since this is the case, the old man doesn't force you, if you think about it, remember to come to the house to find me, but remember that the imperial court only levies male soldiers, but there are no women in the army, the girls of your team, don't complain about the old man at that time." Li Yuan saw that Chu Mofeng did not let go, so he had to change the conversation and lead the topic to the other side of the flower.
Since Li Shimin had already received the news that Chu Mofeng's other flower team had always acted with the goal of protecting the family and defending the country, the father and son both had a heart of love for talents, thinking of taking the opportunity of this banquet to see if they could take this group of people for their own use.
However, Chu Mofeng is also a master who speaks without leaking, which can't help but make Li Shimin feel a little clueless.
"Let my uncle laugh, now that you know, then the little nephew will no longer hide it, it is indeed a team under the little nephew, what he does is to punish the evil deeds, so the little nephew will often be idle at home, but now this team has been under the command of the inner son Shi Hanshuang, so there are some things that the little nephew can't interfere with. As soon as Chu Mofeng heard Li Yuan mention the other side flower, he knew that it must be Li Shimin and his wife who leaked the news, and thought that this matter was not a shameful thing, so he simply said it.
Li Yuan nodded when he heard this, and said: "Well, it is not easy for young people to be able to punish evil and promote good at all times, now our relationship with the Turks is quite tense, maybe there will be a big war when, sometimes the strength of a group of people is always not as strong as the strength of a group of people, what do you say?"
"Sometimes a team of people in the right direction can produce a stronger effect than an army. It depends on who the conductor is. Chu Mofeng shook his head, not very much agreeing with Li Yuan's opinion.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the side, heard Chu Mofeng's words, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have gained some inspiration, and then nodded and said to Li Yuan: "Father, my son also agrees with Brother Chu's point of view, sometimes some things other than the confrontation between the two armies, with a small team of people, the effect is really much better, and there is a precedent for this kind of thing." ”
Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin and motioned for him to continue, only to hear Li Shimin say again: "I wonder if my father still remembers Gao Taichang and the East Route Army?"
"Gao Xi, Eastern Route Army?" Li Yuan carefully recalled these two words in his mouth, as if he remembered something, and patted his head and said: "I remember, in the Eastern Route Army of the Gao people, there was such a small team, assassination, espionage, ambush, beheading, this series of things were handled by these people, so it is said that the Eastern Route Army was able to defeat the Turks back then, and these people contributed a lot, but after the Gao people were unjustly killed, this group of people also disappeared. ”
Hearing Li Yuan mention his father and masters, Chu Mofeng picked up the wine glass and slowly sipped the wine, using this to suppress the fluctuating mood in his heart, I don't know what Li Yuan's intention was when he mentioned his father at this time? Could it be that they also know these things?
After thinking for a moment, Chu Mofeng decided to test the father and son, "Uncle, Brother Shimin, what's the matter with the Eastern Route Army and Master Gao that you just mentioned?"
"Virtuous nephew, it's normal that you don't know, Lord Gao is the late Lord Taichang Gao Xi, and the East Route Army is an army he led back then, Shimin has studied this past very well, let him tell you about it later. Li Yuan smiled, patted Chu Mofeng's shoulder vigorously and said, "This incident also reminds me, okay, the old man doesn't force you, if you really don't want to enter the army, then walk around with the people more on weekdays." ”
Chu Mofeng nodded and stopped talking, and then the guests and hosts staggered, and the topic of Fang Cai was no longer mentioned during the banquet, only occasionally chatting about some family routines, this meal did not end until the end of the afternoon, after saying goodbye to Li Yuan's family, Chu Mofeng pulled Mo Ziyao and hurriedly returned to his mansion with Mu Mu and Zhaozhao.
Looking at the distant backs of Chu Mofeng's master and servant, Li Yuan stroked his beard and said, "This son is a person worth associating, but you remember that until the critical moment, some things should not be revealed to him too early, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble." ”
"Now that you know your father, let's go back too. Hearing this, Li Shimin hurriedly nodded yes, and then followed Li Yuan towards the mansion......
