It seems that things have become clear, and they are all unwilling.
However, Li Jing's idea was exactly the opposite. He thought this was a good opportunity! If used well, both the Li family and Temujin Dali himself would benefit.
"Don't you really think that going to work as a cook in the Shangshu's mansion is really about being a cook?
It’s not that simple…”
Hearing his father's words, Li Derjian said confusedly, "Father, what do you mean by this? Please give me instructions..."
"But if you want to know who is in charge of Shangshu's mansion, it is Muchuan! If Dali can find something in his mansion, we can make good friends with Muchuan through Dali's relationship."
Muchuan was the youngest number one scholar in the history of the Tang Dynasty. He was extremely talented and intelligent.
Although he is not very young, Muchuan has been promoted from the top scholar status to one of the six ministers, with the third rank of official title. Such a promotion speed is rare throughout the Qin, Han, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms!
Muchuan now has such a high position when he is only thirty years old. If he had given it a few more years, he would have reached one of the three nobles, with a bright future.
If the Li family can use Temujin's strength to gain such an ally, it will be of great benefit to the Li family!
"Of course, it will also benefit Dali a lot."
Others don't know Temujin's powerful ability, but the Li family does.
Temujin's great strength is a combination of both civil and military abilities. Although he entered the minister's mansion and became a cook, if Muchuan had a good eye and knew people, he would not only let him become a cook.
If you dig carefully, Temujin will definitely become a dragon and a phoenix among people in the future!
Compared to working in the Li family's mansion, working under Muchuan has more opportunities!
"And Dali, haven't you always liked martial arts and pursued the strong?"
"Yes, old general..."
"This Muchuan is also a strong man, he is worthy of your following."
Temujin was very proficient in fighting and wrestling. In the Li family's mansion, the Beiying army was nicknamed "Overlord Niu", and he was invincible in defeating all opponents.
Pursuing strong men is also one of his wishes. If he can follow Muchuan, he will probably achieve significant growth.
After hearing his father's words, Li Derjian was obviously in disbelief. Is Muchuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, a strong man?
This is impossible.
"Father, do you have any misunderstanding?
How can Muchuan be good at martial arts?"
Muchuan is thin and gentle, but he is a civil servant no matter how you look at him! I'm afraid he can't even fight off ordinary thieves, how can he be as powerful as his father said.
Li Jing shook his head slightly: "I have taught you since you were a child that people cannot be judged by their appearance. If you look at Muchuan based on his appearance, you will suffer a big loss!"
In fact, Li Jing had never seen much of Muchuan's abilities. He was a minister of household affairs in the imperial court and rarely showed off his martial arts.
But the information Li Jing got was unmistakable, because it was obtained from his old friend Cheng Yaojin!
Cheng Yaojin said that during a military mission, he witnessed Muchuan capture ten bandits with his bare hands, and he was invincible, much like Xiang Yu's "power to conquer the mountains and the world".
Since my old friend said that, it must be true.
Li Jing smiled and said: "How about it, Dali? If Muchuan is such a strong man, I'm afraid it's worth following you and learning from him, right?"
"Old General, I understand...can you allow me to think about it for a few days?"
"Of course. If you think about it properly, just talk to my son. When the time comes... Dejian, you can lead Dali to visit the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."
Li Derjian bowed slightly to show his compliance.
In the evening, the sunset is full, and the golden light is like silk covering the city of Chang'an, which is beautiful and moving.
In the long corridor of Shangshu's mansion, Muchuan is leading Xiner towards the courtyard.
Xin'er was well-behaved and cute. She followed her step by step and asked, "Brother, where are you going to take me?"
"The secret, I can't tell you yet."
"Brother, why are you so mysterious? Are you trying to tease me?"
"Of course not, how could I tease you?"
Muchuan stopped and looked back at her lovingly, "I just want to make you happy."
After diagnosing and treating Xin'er today, I found that she was feeling depressed.
Thinking about it, Xin'er will have to wait for half a month to regain her appearance after applying the medicine, which means that she won't be able to see people with her true appearance for half a month, which would be uncomfortable for any young and beautiful girl.
It happened that Muchuan remembered the gift he had prepared for Xiner, and seeing that she was depressed now, he just happened to give the gift away.
We arrived at the designated location, a wing in the west courtyard of the mansion.
Muchuan pushed open the mahogany door and walked in. He smiled slightly and made an invitation gesture: "Miss Xin'er, please come in."
"Brother, it's true, why do you speak so mysteriously?
If I find you teasing others, Xin'er will not go around you..." Xin'er walked in as she spoke.
As a result, she was stunned. After seeing the scenery in the room, her face blossomed and her smile was as bright as a flower.
The green brick floor of the wing is covered with pink petals, the vases on the tables and chairs are filled with flowers, and red flowers are tied with ropes to the ceiling beams. The whole room is like a sea of flowers, colorful and purple.
When you enter it, you can feel a fragrant smell, just like the arrival of spring, which makes people have the illusion of being in a peach blossom garden.
Xin'er looked at the scenery in front of her with sparkling eyes, yearning for it, and it was so touching.
"Brother...you arranged all this?"
"Yes, it was specially arranged for you. I heard your brother Fang Cheng said that you like flowers, so I specially prepared it for you."
"Thank you, Brother Muchuan!"
She stood up on her tiptoes and placed a kiss on Muchuan's cheek, caught off guard, as fast as a dragonfly touching water.
After Muchuan came to his senses, he realized that the little girl had kissed him.
"Xin'er..."
"Brother, this is a reward...a reward."
She lowered her head and her face was as rosy as a rose. It seemed that she was shy.
But her kiss touched deeply into Muchuan's heart, like meeting the warmth of a campfire in a snowstorm, making him move.
The emotions hidden in his heart were like the waves of the sea, rolling endlessly. Muchuan knew it was time to express his feelings to Xin'er.
Yes, Muchuan was an ordinary mediocre person in his previous life. He studied since he was a child and worked when he grew up. He never focused on the love between a man and a woman.
It's not that he doesn't yearn for the taste of love, but that he knows that people like him don't deserve love.
Traveling back in time to the present, relying on the modern knowledge from his previous life, he has been able to control the wind and rain in the great country of the Tang Dynasty, and for this reason, he has also attracted many beautiful women around him.
However, facing those girls who looked like gods, his heart was always touched, but for some reason Xin'er made him feel touched, just like the dry land feeling the moistening of rain, and he was obsessed with her.
Taking a deep breath, Muchuan knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he bravely held her hand.
