Wu Minzhi came to Li Youdao's door not just to avenge Li Qinzai, but also to add a little fun to his boring life.
After all, his family environment was too chaotic and complicated, and Wu Minzhi's psychology was already very distorted. A person with a distorted mentality is very afraid of a plain and monotonous life.
Just like a child always likes to cause damage to gain the attention of adults, what he wants is to make a noise and refresh his sense of existence at all times.
At this moment, Wu Minzhi was standing outside the door of Li Youdao's house, looking up at the tall lintel and the row of lanterns hanging high under the eaves, with a smile on his lips.
Wu Minzhi and Li Youdao were not familiar with each other, and it could be said that they had no contact with each other.
One is a dandy who changed his surname to Xingjin by virtue of his status as a foreign relative, and the other is an elite from an aristocratic family who has been trained by a wealthy family for many years and now serves as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. These two people cannot be from the same family under any circumstances.
With different identities, different reputations, and different circles, the city of Chang'an is so big, and the officialdom is so big, there are almost very few opportunities for the two of them to appear on the same occasion. Even if they meet at a banquet of a powerful family, it is probably the same kind of connection.
People who don’t even bother to respond to greetings by nodding their heads.
So Li Youdao was surprised when he received Wu Minzhi's invitation.
It is actually quite rude and presumptuous for a person who has never known each other to visit alone without the introduction of an intermediary.
Li Youdao took Wu Minzhi's greeting card, pondered his purpose of coming, and hesitated whether to see him or not.
After a long time, Li Youdao sighed.
Even the elite children of aristocratic families have people they cannot afford to offend, such as the queen and her nephew.
Putting down the greetings, Li Youdao forced out a polite smile, straightened his clothes and hurried out the door.
Outside the Li Mansion, Li Youdao and Wu Minzhi met each other very happily, and they had known each other for a long time.
When Wu Minzhi was normal, he spoke very politely and did not say a single nonsense. Li Youdao was confused, so he couldn't just ask when they met. After the two of them had their own thoughts and exchanged a few words at the door, Li Youdao politely sent Wu Minzhi away.
Please visit the house.
After Wu Minzhi entered the house, he admired Li Mansion endlessly, from the auspicious animals on the screen wall, to the ginkgo trees in the yard, from the owl kisses on the roof to the screen in the front hall.
When an ugly maid passing by was praised by Wu Minzhi for her "beautiful appearance," Li Youdao was sure that this girl was not a sincere person and should be careful.
After the guests and hosts were seated in the front hall, Li Youdao ordered the banquet to be held, and the kabuki actors also had to come up and perform a twist as usual.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Youdao stroked his beard, looked at Wu Minzhi and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Wu Xian recently became a disciple of the Marquis of Li County, Weinan. Is it true?"
Wu Minzhi laughed and said: "Of course it's true. I've been living in his house for two months. His house is not fun, the wine is not as good as the one in your house, and the kabuki is nowhere to be seen. Tsk, I'm having a good time.
Like a hermit, I don’t know how he can bear it."
Li Youdao's eyes flashed: "Brother Wu Xian bowed to the Marquis of Li County, didn't the Queen say anything?"
Wu Minzhi took another sip of wine and said: "I worship my master. What can the queen say? She can't control me. Unless she makes me the prince, why should she control me? Haha!"
Li Youdao was so frightened that his hands trembled, half of the wine in his glass was shaken by him, and he looked at him with a horrified expression.
Does this bastard know what he's talking about?
Li Youdao decided to end this topic immediately. Not only did he end the topic, it was best to get rid of this scourge within an hour of burning incense, otherwise he would be the one who would be implicated if he said something treacherous.
So Li Youdao simply went straight to the topic and said with a forced smile: "I don't know why Brother Wu Xian came to the humble residence today..."
Wu Minzhi stretched out his little finger to pick out his ears, then stood up, straightened his clothes, and suddenly bowed to Taoist Priest Li You.
Li Youdao was startled and subconsciously stepped aside, not daring to accept the courtesy.
Wu Minzhi straightened up and said loudly: "Wu has come here to propose marriage to Li Shaoqing today. I hope Li Shaoqing will succeed."
Li Youdao was shocked: "Why do you want to marry me?"
"Wu Mou heard that Li Shaoqing's second daughter is only 28 years old. She is beautiful and gentle, as a gentleman should ask for, so he asked Li Shaoqing to show your kindness and help us become lovers!"
Li Youdao was shocked and said angrily: "You two... are lovers? When did you two have an affair?"
"There is no personal relationship at all. I have never even met in person, but I believe that the first time my daughter saw me, she and I must be lovers." Wu Minzhi said confidently.
Li Youdao was furious. Only now did he realize that this guy was a lunatic.
"Brother Wu Xian, you are so rude!" Li Youdao couldn't help shouting.
"No disrespect!" Wu Minzhi took over the conversation with stern words and said: "If Li Shaoqing nods, I have a valuable betrothal gift for you. I will give you whatever you want. The betrothal gift is so heavy that it will definitely make Li Shaoqing smile."
Li Youdao's face darkened: "I remember that you are already married and have children, right?"
Wu Minzhi said shyly: "Although the position of a head wife is rare, fortunately, the position of concubine has been vacant in the family for a long time, only waiting for the right person, and the daughter is the right person..."
Li Youdao interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said with a cold expression: "Is it your intention to propose marriage today, or is it the Queen's?"
Wu Minzhi blinked: "If I tell the queen what she wants, will you agree?"
"No one agrees! But if it is the queen's wish, I will go to the court to ask the queen why she humiliated my daughter like this!" Li Youdao said angrily.
Wu Minzhi opened his eyes in confusion: "How have I insulted your daughter? Isn't this a serious proposal for marriage?"
Li Youdao laughed angrily, pointed at him and said, "You call this 'proposing'?"
Wu Minzhi suddenly said: "Do you think I didn't bring a betrothal gift? This matter is not urgent. You haven't agreed yet. If you refuse, I can't be embarrassed and lose money, right?"
Li Youdao took a deep breath. Although he didn't know what kind of magical Feng Shui the Helan family had to raise such a bastard, this bastard had no blood relationship with him, so he really had no right to beat him.
"Brother Wu Xian, I tell you seriously that you have no connection with my daughter. This matter will never be mentioned again. You are still a distinguished guest in my house today. I hope you will not harm your friendship." Li Youdao said with an ugly face.
Wu Minzhi refused to give up and said: "I am a relative, can't I be accommodating?"
"What about my relatives? Do I, Mrs. Li of Zhaojun, need to fawn over my daughter?" Li Youdao sneered.
Wu Minzhi said cautiously: "If the second daughter can't do it, what about the third daughter of your house? Although I heard that she is only eight years old, she looks good and I can afford to wait..."
Li Youdao finally couldn't control his rage. He subconsciously picked up a wine cup on the table and smashed it on Wu Minzhi's head. He shouted angrily: "You're going too far to bully someone!"
The wine cup hit Wu Minzhi as fast as a meteor. Wu Minzhi's eyes flashed with joy, and then his shoulders shook. Yes, he was not careless, he dodged.
But the strange thing is that the direction in which he dodged happened to be facing the landing point of the wine cup.
It was as if he took the initiative to put his head up to welcome the arrival of the wine cup.
With a clang, the wine cup hit Wu Minzhi's forehead without any bias. It would be unreasonable not to hit him, but Wu Minzhi aimed.
Blood immediately flowed down his forehead, and Wu Minzhi screamed miserably: "Ah! He killed someone!!"
