Feast in the grave forest.

Perhaps only a person like Li Xiuyuan can sit down safely and look calm.

If it were someone else, even if it was bold, it would be difficult for them to sit here.

And when the servants and maids were busy preparing.

In a mound in the middle of the woods.

Although it is dim, it is quite spacious, and the ancestors of the single family have been generous, and the tomb is built like a mansion, so it is not a problem for the living to live here, if not the coffin in the middle is seeping.

At this moment, inside the tomb of the Lord.

Taigong sat on a stone bench, and beside him, many spirits of the same clan gathered, including the previous emperor's son.

"The Li Gongzi outside is definitely not a simple character, I tested him before on the grounds of apology, Xiao'er, you have also seen it, five zhang distance, one step to it, this is a trick that only a master of the Tao will cast, which shows that his Taoism is extraordinary. ”

The prince said: "But father, he doesn't have the breath of a cultivator." ”

"When you practice to a certain level, you can return to the basics and hide your qi in your body, but it's not important, the most important thing is that this person can be befriended, this is the reason why I invited him, he supported me, which means that he is a gentleman who pays attention to morality, like my old man kneeling, if so

According to secular etiquette, it must be stopped, even the high-ranking officials of the court must be supported. ”

"If he can do it, it shows that he treats us politely, which shows that he does not regard us as aliens, although he seemed to be hostile to you before, I am afraid that it is also out of precaution. ”

Taigong said slowly.

The prince of the emperor is full of admiration, and his father is cautious by nature, but what is even more powerful is this way of watching people and things, and it is precisely because of his father in the family that he can arrive in Guobei County safely.

"Xiao'er, do you know Li Xiuyuan?" then the prince asked again.

"Today is only strong, I have heard Mr. Kong mention it before. The emperor said.

Taigong nodded and said: "Although I have not often entered the county, but I have also heard of the name of the eldest young master of the Li family, the Li family has been entrenched in this county for eight generations, five generations of good deeds, three generations of great wealth, passed down to this world, according to the number of fortunes, it should be in the middle of the family road, and it began to wither, but the Li family is getting more and more famous."

This is a contrary to common sense, and I think the reason for this is that it appeared on him. ”

"The Li family has been passed down for nine generations, and can have such wealth, it can be seen that in addition to good fortune and great goodness, there should also be ghosts and gods to protect it, I was very shocked to hear Li Xiuyuan's words before, he once said that the evil ghosts and demons in this place were all killed by him, which shows that the Li family has dispatched ghosts and gods to kill

The ability of demons. ”

"If our family wants to take root here, we must rely on this Li Gongzi, if he doesn't agree, even with the help of Mr. Kong, I am afraid it will be difficult to settle down. ”

"Song Niang, you will serve that son at the banquet later, if he can look at you differently, it will be your blessing, and your calamity is estimated to be no longer worrying, but Mr. Kong can not be alienated, he is a descendant of Confucius, and he is knowledgeable, and the most important thing is that he teaches

Educating people for many years, the good fortune is extended, and you are each other's confidants when you are a child, you should treat each other sincerely, and you can't take care of one or the other. ”

"Qiao Na still needs to be invited to take care of this Mr. Kong, originally according to the previous considerations, Song Niang and Qiao Na married Mr. Kong together, so as to use his good fortune to avoid the disaster, now it seems that it is a bit reckless to entrust the life of the family to one person, if you can get the help of this Li Gongzi

, then it is more secure. ”

"That's what my father said. The prince nodded in response.

Song Niang next to her also nodded softly, but saw that she was about eighteen years old, with eyebrows like silkworm moths, white face like jade, and a slender and delicate posture, she was a rare beauty.

A moment later.

As a puff of smoke rose up, he saw a crack in the mound, and the prince led the family to walk out, neatly dressed and full of etiquette.

"Let Li Gongzi wait for a long time, the distinguished guests came to the door, did not dare to slack off, took some time to prepare, and asked Li Gongzi not to be surprised. Taigong said politely.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's too polite, I have nothing to do today, just to visit Master Confucius, so I came uninvited, and there was a lot of trouble." ”

"What is Li Gongzi talking about, I heard Xiao'er say it before, the ancestral grave of this single family is Li Gongzi's family property, it should be Lao Er and others who have the cheekiness to occupy the land of Li Gongzi's family, and it should be Lao Er who apologizes to Li Gongzi. Taigong looked ashamed, and after saying that, he said again

gestured: "Song Niang, don't apologize for pouring wine for Li Gongzi." ”

At this time, the beauty of the pine lady walked with a slender step, her slender waist swayed slightly, and she came with a little delicate Yingying, knelt beside Li Xiuyuan's several cases, poured wine and raised her glass, and said apologetically: "The slave family apologizes to Li Gongzi on behalf of the princess." ”

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, but saw that there was a bit of sultry posture in this Song Niang's eyes, and immediately took the wine glass with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it, Song Niang is polite." ”

Song Niang was a little ashamed, and her jade hand gently slid over the back of Li Xiuyuan's hand when he took the wine glass, and then knelt on the side and said nothing.

Taigong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately said: "Gongzi Li is magnanimous, and the old man has thanked him." ”

"No thanks, Taigong's family can move here, which is also an affirmation of my governance here, I naturally don't blame Taigong for coming uninvited and occupying this little thing. Li Xiuyuan slowly put down the wine glass: "But the wine is also drunk, I don't know if the prince can solve my heart."

Confused?"

"Lao Er is not highly educated, I don't know what advice Li Gongzi has?" said Taigong immediately.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Mr. Kong is suffering from a vicious disease and is bedridden, so it should have nothing to do with the prince and the emperor." ”

Taigong was shocked: "Don't misunderstand Gongzi Li, although we are spirits, we have never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, Mr. Kong is very respectful of this person, he has taught children's articles and verses, and is a confidant and friend of Xiao'er, how could Lao Er frame Mr. Kong." ”

"That's fine, but Mr. Kong's illness, that Qiao Na girl can really be cured?" Li Xiuyuan said: "Or is it not possible if it is her?"

"Qiao Na is an old son and a little girl, so she can naturally cure Mr. Kong's illness, but since Li Gongzi smells it, Lao Er doesn't dare to hide it, and only a little girl can cure this disease..... " Taigong hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Master Confucius is a down-and-out exile in Guobei County, he has been here for more than ten years, and now he is almost thirty years old and has not married a wife or children, the prince wants to marry that Qiao Na girl to Master Confucius, if Confucius is happy, I will not object as a student, but whether the prince will not be."

Ultimate?"

After speaking, he looked at him seriously again.

"It's a good story to give a hug and a beautiful woman to give each other. But it's just a pedantic scholar, and the meaning is too public to mind revealing a thing or two, right?"

Taigong's palm trembled, the wine glass fell to the ground, and he looked at Li Xiuyuan with some horror.

This, this person actually saw through his intentions at a glance, and he had already guessed that he was going to marry Qiao Na to Mr. Kong just by mentioning this matter.

If Li Xiuyuan knew Taigong's thoughts, he would definitely laugh dumbly.

Do you still have to guess?

Let your little girl take care of Mr. Kong, the old man and the beauty of Fang Ling live in the same room and take care of him, how can he not have some feelings?

Isn't this an obvious excuse to get close to the two of them under the pretext of curing the disease?

"This, this..... Mr. Kong's moral character is good, and his knowledge is sure that he is the good son-in-law in Lao'er's heart, and the man should marry the woman when he marries, Mr. Kong has no wife and no children.

It just so happens that the old and the young girl are slim and slim, and the two are like a match, Li Gongzi won't object to this, right?"

As he spoke, he asked with some trepidation.

Marriage?

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of the marriage between Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant in the historical world, Lu Pheasant's family also came from other places, eager to find a local famous person to marry, and it just so happened that Liu Bang was quite famous in Pei County, so he achieved that special marriage.

This was the case in the Qin Dynasty, and when it came to the Great Song Dynasty, it was naturally no exception.

"Taigong's words should only be half of what he said, marriage is certainly one thing, but there is another aspect that Taigong didn't say, I treat Taigong so sincerely, why should Taigong hide it. ”

But Li Xiuyuan didn't believe that things were so simple, but looked at Song Niang and the emperor on the side with a flash of eyes.

"Gongzi Li is a gentleman, how dare Lao Er deceive Gongzi. "That's fair.

Song Niang on the side was also busy saying: "Li Gongzi, the slave family will pay tribute to Gongzi again." ”

"How can a beautiful woman not drink wine. ”

Li Xiuyuan smiled, took the wine glass and drank it all, and after he put down the wine glass, he said: "Miss Songniang is beautiful, but she has been practicing for many years now, if I am not mistaken, Miss Songniang and Huangfu Gongzi are almost going to have six hundred years of Taoism, and they should be lowered."

It's time for three hundred years of thunder tribulation, Confucius is a person with high morality and a reputation in Guobei County, and he is also a descendant of Confucius, such a person, even the Lei Gong in the sky would not dare to kill him, take Miss Qiao Na to marry Mr. Kong can be said to kill three birds with one stone, both can take root in the local area, and

can avoid the thunderstorm, and can also repay the kindness of Confucius. ”

As soon as these words came out, the guests in the guest seat, the prince, the prince of the emperor, and Song Niang were all shocked, and they all looked at Li Xiuyuan with a shocked look.

Has this man's mind been so intelligent?

Just by observing, he can know everything that Taigong is planning, as if everyone has no secrets in front of him.

Who is Li Xiuyuan of the Li family?

I heard people from Guobei County mention it before, I just thought that he was the young master of a rich and noble family, and he had some business skills, but now it seems that this person not only knows the magic of immortals, but also has the official fortune of the imperial court, and has such a smart mind.

It looks like a handsome son, but it feels like a god who has entered the world, and can see everything.
