The apology was accepted, the generous gift was also accepted, the host and guest had a great time, and all the previous grudges were cleared.
Before Li Hong left, he had a few sincere conversations with Li Qinzai, but the degree of sincerity was limited, and the two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention the most sensitive issue of inheriting the throne.
Anyone who is not short-circuited in the brain would not talk about such a sensitive topic in person. The white paper on the understanding that was finally reached was wasted on a topic that was biased, and the gifts were also given in vain.
Li Hong boarded the chariot and returned to the East Palace. Li Qinzai stood at the door and watched him leave.
After a long time, King Luo Bin next to him said softly: "His Royal Highness is worthy of the name of benevolence. Even if you make mistakes, you can correct them if you know them, and you still can't hide your flaws."
Li Qinzai smiled: "The name of benevolence may be true or false, so it is not trustworthy. However, I think he is a smart man. Even if he makes mistakes, he knows how to be stupid and then becomes brave, but his flaws are still not covered up."
King Luo Bin thought for a while, then bowed and said, "Uncle Li has thought more deeply than me, and he has learned a lesson."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Let's go, it's time to go back to Ganjing Village. Mr. Guangguang will go with me. From now on, I will leave all the trivial matters in the school to you."
"I would like to serve Uncle Li County."
Li Qinzai blinked: "Mr. Guangguang is a talented scholar, but he only succumbs to doing trivial and boring things in school. Will he feel aggrieved and his talents are not appreciated?"
King Luo Bin said hurriedly: "If I am not wronged, Uncle Li of County can enjoy his life happily. How can I be wronged?"
"Mr. Tourism's talents can be used as advisers in troubled times, and governance can bring benefits to one party. But now that the world is peaceful and the sea is clear and the rivers are clear, Mr. Tourism might as well settle his mind in the countryside."
King Luo Bin lowered his head and said: "Yes, in troubled times, I am willing to give everything I have learned to the emperors and nobles. What I do is not important. What is important is that the world can be stable and the people can live in peace. This is enough. Even if you live in poverty all your life,
, no name, no power, no regrets.”
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "It's not my intention to be granted the title of Marquis, but I hope Hai Bo is peaceful. Mr. Tourism's mood is a bit like this, haha, not bad."
King Luo Bin's eyes lit up and he murmured: "'I don't want to be granted the title of marquis, but I hope the sea will be peaceful'. What a poem! I admire County Uncle Li for his talent and learning. Even if I don't become an official in this life, I would like to stay with County Uncle Li forever.
, If you can often hear Uncle Li's wonderful words, life will be so happy!"
Li Qinzai twitched the corner of his mouth.
Although he was a great talent, one of the Four Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty, King Luo Bin still had a strong literati aura of sourness, which made Li Qinzai a little uncomfortable.
It doesn't matter, I want to spend more time with my staff in the future, and let him see the outrageous daily life of a salted fish. Over time, the sour smell on his body will definitely disappear, and will be replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.
By this time, he has basically integrated into this shameless group.
The metaphor of boiling a frog in warm water is too elegant. To put it another way, if a piece of soap is dropped into a manure pit, will the manure pit become fragrant?
It doesn't exist. The cesspool is still a cesspool, and the soap has turned into stinky soap. This is the law of nature.
…………
After leaving Chang'an City and driving for a long time, the carriage finally arrived at the entrance of Ganjingzhuang village.
Looking at the quiet and peaceful village and the smoke rising from the villagers' houses at sunset, Li Qinzai took a deep breath.
This is life. Only this kind of human fireworks can make people feel that they are truly alive from the bottom of their hearts and enjoy the taste of life sincerely.
King Luo Bin and Li Qinzai were riding in a carriage together. After the carriage entered the village, King Luo Bin opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, with a smile unknowingly appearing on his lips.
Li Qinzai looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said: "In a remote and remote place, what are you laughing at, Mr. Tourism?"
King Luo Bin said with a smile: "With Mr. Li here, this place must be full of outstanding people. Before I even got off the bus, I could already feel the subtle beauty surrounding the village, which was refreshing and overjoyed."
Li Qinzai laughed. This guy is really getting better and better at talking. He has obviously devoted himself to the role of an aide.
A qualified staff member should not only calmly give suggestions and strategies when the master's family encounters a crisis, but also learn to observe people's behavior in daily life and learn to be appropriately ingratiating when appropriate.
In fact, this is similar to the concept of working in the workplace in later generations. The boss is the leader, and the staff are the employees. The employees must not only handle the work, but also be able to flatter the leaders, so that there is hope for promotion.
King Luo Bin was already excited. He pointed to a hill to the north of Zhuangzi and said happily: "Uncle Li County, I want to build a pavilion there. It will have a stone table, four futons, a plain Qin, and a small red clay stove. On weekdays,
Playing the harp to entertain yourself, cooking tea and wine, isn't it better than being a god?"
Li Qinzai sighed, no matter where the birds don't lay eggs, literati can find ways to engage in elegant activities. For people who live an ordinary life, this is called "making".
Can I get you an alchemy furnace? I'll mix some mercury and sulfur into the alchemy. If you don't die, there is still a chance of ascending during the day.
So Li Qinzai couldn't help but praise: "You are so elegant that I am fascinated by it. I will do as you say."
King Luo Bin said excitedly as if he were seeing a close friend: "Does Uncle Li like to do such elegant things on weekdays?"
"No, it's too elegant. My skin is allergic. I like fishing. If I can't catch anything, I'll hit it with a big stick. There is a thing called a detonator, which is being studied..."
Back at the other courtyard, Cui Jie and Qiao'er were already waiting at the door eagerly.
Seeing Li Qinzai get off the carriage, Qiao'er cheered and flew towards him, slamming into Li Qinzai's arms. Li Qinzai hugged him and spun him around in circles, making Qiao'er giggle.
After putting down the buckwheat, Cui Jie came up to meet her. Li Qinzai winked at her: "Do you want to lift it high and spin it in circles?"
Cui Jie's pretty face turned red and she spat: "Husband, don't make trouble. There are guests here. Don't be rude."
King Luo Bin stood aside with a smile, watching the couple and father and son getting along, with envy in his eyes.
Li Qinzai hurriedly introduced the couple, and they met formally. King Luo Bin called her "Mother", which made Cui Jie shake her head in shame, so King Luo Bin had to change the title to "Mrs. Li", and Cui Jie happily agreed.
It was originally planned to place King Luo Bin in a separate courtyard, but King Luo Bin refused and insisted on living in the school.
The school originally had a row of teachers' dormitories, but now only Li Jingxuan lived there, so Li Qinzai had no objection and ordered Liu Asi to settle King Luo Bin in the school and live as a neighbor to Li Jingxuan.
Li Jingxuan is a bachelor of Hongwen Hall. If King Luo Bin wants to play elegance, Li Jingxuan will definitely be able to play with him.
The two of them sat in the pavilion on the mountain and talked about Taoism, while they played the harp, cooked wine and made tea. How elegant it was.
So here’s the question, whether it’s drinking alcohol or drinking tea, no matter how elegant it is, it will eventually turn into urine. Where do they go to pee?
Li Qinzai felt that several warning signs must be erected around the pavilion. Urination and defecation are strictly prohibited here, and violators will be severely punished.
No fine, let Qiaoer wait outside the pavilion every day with a slingshot...
