Volume 2 The Tiger Returns to the Mountains Chapter 163 Where Did the Peach Come From?
"Deng Wen, take care of you, do you know why we came here this time?" asked Mrs. Ye with a smile.
"It's... The student is stupid, and the teacher is asked to make it clear. Deng Wenzuo said.
Mrs. Ye smiled slightly, and said two words lightly: "Confucianism." ”
Deng Wen instantly understood what Mrs. Ye meant, and said in a low voice, "Teacher, do you want to see him?"
Mrs. Ye waved his hand, and Li Tiantian hurriedly stood up and said, "It's me who wants to see him, it's a mule or a horse, I have to pull it out to know if it's fast." ”
Deng Wen nodded, turned around and walked to the door, and said loudly to a person outside the door: "Wang Yong, you go and bring Li Yichou over, if my guess is right, he should be reading in the scripture building now." ”
The man outside the door promised to go, and then the house fell silent, Deng Wen was still a little uncomfortable in the face of the four princes, he always quietly looked at the four princes, after all, the four princes were his future masters. Although he hadn't personally experienced that little thing in the palace, he had heard a lot about it. The emperor's body is not as good as day by day, but the position of the prince has not been announced for a long time, and the battle between several princes in the open and in secret is called a fierce one. Now most of the ministers in the court have already stood in line, and almost all the national pillars have expressed their choices, and he is a disciple of Ye Taifu, so he naturally wants to follow Ye Taifu in line. Mrs. Ye accepted the fourth prince as his grandson-in-law, so Mrs. Ye's intentions naturally didn't need to be thought out too much. All he has to do is spare no effort to support the four princes.
It can be said that they are grasshoppers on the same line, if the four princes can ascend the throne, all of them will ascend to heaven with one of them, but if the four princes lose to his brother, then all of them will die together. Maybe the four princes can still save their lives in the name of a prince, but they are certain to die. This is a matter related to their lives, how can Deng Wen feel at ease?
"Master Deng, Master Deng!" Hearing someone shouting at him, Deng Wen came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly at Li Tian.
Li Tiantian didn't mind, smiled and raised the half peach in his hand and asked, "Master Deng, where did this peach come from?"
Deng Wen blurted out without hesitation: "I bought it from the market, what's wrong?"
Li Tiantian shook his head slightly, and then asked, "Master Deng, where did this peach come from?"
Deng Wen was stunned for a moment, this time he didn't blurt out immediately, but thought about it and said, "Picked from a tree in the mountains?"
Who knew that Li Tiantian still shook his head, but did not ask again. Mrs. Ye looked at Deng Wen with a smile in his eyes, patted Deng Wen's shoulder and said, "Deng Wen, your name as a third-grade bachelor is worthy of the name!"
Deng Wen looked confused, he didn't know what the two were talking about, this peach was not bought from the market, and if it wasn't picked from the tree, where could it come from? Deng Wen muttered secretly in his heart, looking at Ye Taifu and Li Tiantian with a smile and silence, Deng Wen felt a sigh of shame in his heart, but when he inadvertently saw the four princes, he found that the four princes were the same as himself, and they also had a blank look on their faces, Deng Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, a human voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Master Qiyu Taifu, Li Yiqiao brings it!"
Mrs. Ye nodded slightly, and Deng Wen said, "Let Li Yi come in." ”
The door slowly opened, and a teenager walked into the room. When Li Tiantian saw the young man for the first time, he unconsciously burst out of his heart with four words: Out of the dust! This young man is no longer good enough to describe him with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he is completely worthy of the word handsome! He gave birth to a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, as bright as stars, and his eyes are full of aura. His red lips were slightly open, and his eyes were bright. There was a hint of redness on his cheeks, which was quite embarrassing. His complexion is white and greasy, and his ten fingers are as slender as onion roots, which makes people sigh in their hearts whether this person is a man or a woman, it is difficult to distinguish between male and female!
The young man looked around at the four people in the room, and his eyes revealed an indescribable look, some were surprised, some were afraid, some were happy, and even a touch of resentment! He first saluted in the direction of Ye Taifu and the Four Princes, and then bowed to Deng Wenzuo, and said respectfully: "Confucian disciple Li Yichou pays a greeting to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Master Deng. ”
The fourth prince raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't know if this young man heard about his identity or guessed it right by his own ability, but he didn't care too much, and said lightly: "No courtesy, you are the flower transfer of "Confucianism"? How old are you?"
Li Yichou lowered his head and responded: "If you go back to Your Highness, you have just reached the age of the crown this year." ”
"And the crown?!you.... You don't look like a crown, how can you be a head shorter than me?! Forget it, it doesn't matter, you tell me if you're a man or a woman first, I can't tell it!" Li Tiantian interjected.
Li Yichou raised his eyes lightly and glanced at Li Tiantian, but did not reply. Li Tiantian was extremely embarrassed, and looked at the four princes with a wry smile, and the four princes couldn't help but smile and looked at the look of begging for mercy in Li Tiantian's eyes, and then he opened his mouth and gave Li Tiantian a step down. "Your Highness is also curious about whether you are a man or a woman, if it is a man, how did you give birth to such a good skin that captivates the country and the city, if it is a woman... Isn't Confucianism always reluctant to accept female disciples?"
Li Yichou heard the fourth prince say this, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to Your Highness, the grass people are men, and this good skin was given by my father's mother, and the grass people can't do anything they say." ”
When the fourth prince heard Li Yichou's words, he also sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Li Yichou twice, if this Li Yichou were a woman, I am afraid that the most famous Qinglou Oiran in Tianluo City would be a little inferior to him!
The fourth prince nodded, and then asked, "Li Yiqiu, well, what kind of hatred do you have to remember?" ”
Li Yichou glanced at Li Tiantian, and when he saw Li Tian's eyes, he didn't turn his eyes and stared at him deadly, and his eyes seemed to pierce his heart like a sharp sword, which made people shudder! Li Yichou hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Tiantian again, he said respectfully: "Your Highness Qiqi, my 'fund' is not a hatred of hatred, but a 'fund' of strategizing!"
"Strategizing? Hehe, what a big breath, Li Yichou, you are pretentious, you stay in the building all day long to study, and now you can be regarded as reading 10,000 books, not to mention that you are rich in five cars, right? Even the old man himself will not come to solve your doubts, in this case, the old man asks you a question, and if you answer it, the matter will be written off; if you can't answer, you don't have to bother to participate in next year's imperial examination, and the old man, as the chief examiner of next year's imperial examination, still has the right to get rid of a candidate! How about it? Can you dare to make this bet with the old man?" Mrs. Ye stroked his beard and said
Li Yichou smiled helplessly, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Master Taifu, you said this, how can the kid have room to refuse?
Mrs. Ye smiled slightly, reached out and picked up a peach on the table next to him and asked, "Where did this peach come from?" The old man gave you three chances to answer. ”
Li Tiantian laughed loudly after hearing Mrs. Ye's question, "Mrs. Ye, how can you learn this kid set, I thought you would make a couplet for him to match!
Mrs. Ye didn't make a sound, and began to look at the peach in front of him carefully.
Deng Wen on the side was stunned, and then his face was full of bitterness, he didn't know which one the old and the young were singing, and he knew that they would drill the horns on the peaches and not let the next person buy peaches!
"Where did the peaches come from, naturally they came from the trees!" Li Yichou said lightly.
Mrs. Ye shook his head with a smile, did not say anything, and still did not let go of the hand holding the peach.
Li Yichou saw that he had guessed wrong, so he didn't dare to answer recklessly, he rubbed the corners of his eyes and began to ponder, half a fire, he said to himself: "Everything in the world, there is death and life, trace back to the origin, and all things return to the earth." Peach... From the ground?"
Ye Taifu and Li Tiantian glanced at each other, the two of them invariably, smiled and shook their heads, Li Yi's eyebrows were tightly locked, Bei Yan bit his red lips lightly, he didn't dare to say anything, and sat on the ground silently thinking.
The fourth prince also looked puzzled, and leaned into Li Tiantian's ear and whispered, "Talent, why do you keep asking where the peach came from?
Li Tiantian smiled and picked up a peach on the table next to him, took a bite of it, and muttered, "This peach is so sweet!"
