Li Xiao held the jumping Xiao Hei in his arms, stroked it gently, and transferred a weak spiritual energy into its body. The introduction of the true energy made Xiao Hei feel more comfortable, and not only the appearance just now disappeared, but
He went there, yawned, squinted his eyes, and looked very comfortable.
The maid Xiao Wei couldn't help but feel angry. Who could have expected that Xiao Hei, who was so aggressive just now, would immediately become so docile, as if Li Xiao was his master. The huge contrast between before and after was jaw-dropping. Could it be that this big dude
Mr. Li has a natural affinity for small animals? Xiao Wei couldn't help but think so.
Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She was as beautiful as a spring breeze. She looked at Li Xiao, and a strange color flashed in her bright eyes as pure as autumn waves.
From the loving and caring way Li Xiao treats small animals, it seems that he is not as frivolous and arrogant as the rumored playboy, or is it a deliberate cover-up?
Nie Xiaoqian nodded slightly, moved her lotus steps lightly, walked around Li Xiao, and came to the back of her father Nie Yu. Nie Xiaoqian stood alone, with an indifferent and earthly temperament, and was incomparably beautiful. From time to time, her eyes flickered slightly, secretly
He looked at Li Xiao for a moment, then quickly took it back and regained his composure.
…
Seeing such a scene, Li Tongshan, who was sitting on the side chair, couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Nonsense! If you don't take good care of this evil cat, what should you do if it hurts Mr. Li!" Wen Xiaolian and Nie Yu, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, slapped the armrest of the Grand Master's chair and scolded him mercilessly.
Originally, she wanted to ask Xiao Hei to come forward and teach Li Xiao a lesson, but she never thought that not only did she not succeed, but she was also scolded by the master. Xiao Wei curled her lips, waved, and called to Xiao Hei: "Come back."
However, Xiao Hei, who had a look of enjoyment on his face, obviously did not hear her call and was still nestling in Li Xiao's palm filled with zhenqi.
It wasn't until Li Xiao opened his palms and said to Xiao Hei with a slight smile, "Go back," that Xiao Hei braced himself up, climbed up, reluctantly jumped down, and returned to Xiao Wei's side.
Of course, Li Xiao would not naively think that Xiao Hei's "surprise attack" was really an accident. I'm afraid it was the "instruction" of the maid Xiao Wei. From this, it can be seen that the owner of this body is really not very popular.
.
Perhaps it was because of this dude's reputation that it was inevitable that people would have a bad impression, but of course Li Xiao did not hold a grudge against the other party's actions. After all, his anger had not reached such a cheap level.
"Haha, this is a misunderstanding. It seems that Xiao'er is very fond of this cat." Li Tongshan stroked the beard under his chin, laughed, and quickly smoothed things over. After all, he was here today.
For the purpose of proposing a marriage, there is no need to make an unpleasant fuss over a trivial matter.
Civil and military officials, Xiaolian and Lian, were in the east and west of the city, echoing each other from a distance. Although they were officials in the same dynasty, they were usually busy with their own affairs and rarely had the chance to meet. This time they were able to get together, so naturally the two of them exchanged greetings and had a simple conversation.
Apart from the recent affairs between the DPRK and China, their topic soon returned to their respective children.
After a long while, Li Tongshan clapped his hands and saw a few accompanying servants filing in. They brought in a dozen large and small brocade boxes from outside and placed them on the cases in front of Nie Yu.
.
Thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, century-old mountain ginseng, fine brocade silk, and precious gold and silver jewelry reflect the dazzling brilliance. These rare treasures fill the entire list, and their value is quite high. In order to purchase these gifts
, it can be said that Li Tongshan has already spent half of his fortune.
Nie Yu brushed his sleeves, glanced at the gifts, coughed slightly, and said knowingly: "I don't know that Mr. Li has prepared such a generous gift. I'm afraid Nie can't afford it."
"Master Nie, I, Li Tongshan, am a rough man, so I won't go round in my words. This time, I, along with my son, paid a special visit to propose marriage to your wife. These are the betrothal gifts of my Li family.
If you and I, civil and military, filial and honest, can form a good relationship between the Qin and Jin Dynasties, it will surely be passed down to a generation and be remembered for generations to come." Li Tongshan cupped his hands towards Nie Yu who was sitting on the high seat and stated his true intention.
After looking at Li Xiao up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, Nie Yu said to Li Tongshan: "It is my great luck to be able to win your son's favor."
"I, the Li family, have reached a high position, but such an opportunity is really rare. I hope Master Nie can make it happen." Li Tongshan said with pleading in his tone, while winking at Li Xiao.
Li Tongshan is a fourth-grade martial arts master, while Nie Yu is a third-grade civil servant, rich in knowledge, devoted to studying, compiling history books, and is highly valued by the current emperor. In addition, the beauty of Nie's daughter is also famous far and wide, so in
From Li Tongshan's point of view, this was naturally a high achievement.
At this time, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
As the saying goes, the fate of parents and the words of matchmakers, in this shackles of feudal dogma, it is often not the man and woman who dominate the marriage, but their parents. Therefore, many times, the marriage of the man and the woman does not represent their original intention. In many cases, the marriage does not represent their original intention.
To a large extent, it is what the parents want.
Although there is no expression on Nie Xiaoqian's face, there may be a deep reluctance in her heart. How can she force things to happen?
However, since he is now the son of Wu Xiaolian, Li Xiao will naturally not insist on Li Tongshan's will. After hesitating for a moment, he still takes a step forward, and with an uneasy mood, he gestures towards Wen Xiaolian Nie Yu.
He bowed his head and said, "My nephew is sincere and I hope my uncle can fulfill his wish."
At this time, Li Tongshan also looked at Nie Yu expectantly, hoping that this marriage would get his approval. In this way, being civil, military, filial, honest, and beaded and curtained together would be a supreme merit. Therefore, he
Naturally, I am also looking forward to it very much.
"You can learn from Mr. Li's sincerity, but this marriage is a major event in life, so it all depends on the daughter's wishes." Nie Yu's expression was noncommittal, and then he looked at Nie Xiaoqian beside him lovingly, and said so authentically.
As a third-grade civil servant, Nie Yu also had extraordinary ideological consciousness, so she did not have full control over her daughter's marriage, and let her daughter decide the marriage alone.
...
...
I saw Nie Xiaoqian raising her eyebrows slightly, pacing back and forth, blowing up the faint fragrance. After lightly licking her bright thin lips, she smiled lightly and said, "I have heard that Mr. Li usually likes to be with some people."
Literati and poets enjoy the scenery and play, but a famous talented person must also be able to recite poems and compose poems, and he is very talented. A few days ago, Xiaoqian had a sudden inspiration and suddenly thought of a poem, but she was still unable to think of the next sentence.
I feel regretful and want to ask the young master to help me solve the problem. I wonder if the young master can come up with the next sentence?"
"A sleeping qin, a thousand pieces of ancient music, spring white snow and new rhyme."
Along with the sweet and melodious voice, Nie Xiaoqian recited a poem, and the lingering sound from the poem seemed to echo slowly in the hall.
After listening to this poem, Nie Yu couldn't help but nod secretly, with a proud smile on his lips. Through such a poem, the wonderful scene of playing the piano seems to be directly reflected in people's eyes. It's no wonder that Nie Yu
My daughter, good words!
The maid Xiao Wei also clapped quickly and praised the good words. She looked at Nie Xiaoqian with eyes full of admiration, and then looked at Li Xiao who looked like she was in deep thought, feeling secretly happy in her heart.
Completely different from their happy reactions, Li Tongshan blushed and felt a thump in his heart. As the saying goes, no one knows his son better than his father. Of course, Li Tongshan knew his son very well.
In his eyes, Li Xiao was naughty, uneducated and unskilled, and the so-called literati he met were just a group of friends who played Qinhuai opera singers. Where did he get any real talent and learning? Let alone
It’s time to deal with this poem.
You must know that as the daughter of Wen Xiaolian, Nie Xiaoqian is not only beautiful in appearance, elegant and beautiful, but also knowledgeable and talented. She is also a talented woman who is well-known far and wide. Whether it is poetry or lyrics, it can be said that she can do it at her fingertips.
, how could Li Xiao possibly match the words and sentences she came up with without any preparation at all.
At this time, a strong worry arose in Li Tongshan's heart. He even regretted that he should not have come to propose marriage. Not only would he fail today, but he would also lose face. It was too shameful.
When the court saw Wen Xiaolian, he probably had no choice but to get out of the way.
Li Tongshan shook his head, feeling extremely ashamed in his heart. Just when he was about to think of an excuse to say goodbye, he heard Li Xiao, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly raised his head, coughed lightly, and said in a solemn tone: "Two
Just a flying luan, thousands of miles of beautiful journey, Yan and Ying couple praise the good relationship."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Nie Yu closed his eyes slightly and paused up and down, as if he was immersed in the artistic conception of this poem. At the end, he suddenly opened his eyes, with a bright light in his eyes, and said three good words in a row!
As a third-grade civil servant, Nie Yu had to deal with words and ink, from memorials to historical records. It was common for him to gather with a group of civil servants to recite poems, compose lyrics, and comment on music and Taoism, so he also had
He has extremely high attainments in poetry.
The second half of the poem that Li Xiao just wrote, the oblique and oblique lines are in harmony with each other, the structure echoes each other, the primacy is taken into consideration, the virtual and the real are combined, the sleeping qin is opposite to the flying luan, the ancient music score is to Jincheng, and the new rhyme is to praise the good relationship, the sound of the harp is to the marriage.
To set off each other, at the moment when the natural sound of the piano is playing, it seems that a perfect relationship has been harmonized. The past and the past are combined, and the beautiful artistic conception in this can be seen at a glance!
Xiao Wei held her cheek in her hand and was thinking. Although she didn't understand the specific meaning, these two lines of poetry were so catchy. After reciting them silently in her heart twice, she seemed to be able to vaguely understand the beautiful meaning.
.
When she heard this poem, Nie Xiaoqian's beautiful eyes also lit up. In fact, she had already thought about this poem, but she didn't expect that the "dandy" Mr. Li in front of her would actually come up with it. Not only that
, in terms of form and artistic conception, it was much higher than what she had thought before, which really surprised her.
Could it be that Mr. Li's reputation as a "dandy and arrogant" is just a rumor from the outside world?
Li Tongshan, who was still uneasy in his heart, was surprised at first when he heard that a poem written by his son Li Xiao was not a flowing poem. Then, after looking at the expressions of the people around him, he was stunned again!
As a military attache, Li Tongshan may not have the ability to distinguish and appreciate poetry, but he can at least see and understand other people's expressions. He also turned his head and glanced at Li Xiao incredulously. He suddenly felt a little strange, and felt a little strange in his heart.
Said: "Could it be that this poem is really written correctly?"
Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Li Xiao shook his head and smiled faintly. In fact, this is not a great talent, but he has traveled through many planes and has read a lot of poems and songs in his spare time. With high wisdom,
With the advantage of attributes, his mind moved quickly, and finally various permutations and combinations of words formed such a poem. He did not expect that this poem could really reflect a unique artistic conception. This was also something he did not expect.
things.
...
After Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head and thought, she took a deep breath and said: "Xiaoqian has another poem here, and I hope you can give me some advice... The sky is covered with frost on the ten-mile flat lake, and every inch of blue hair is filled with sorrow for the past years."
This time Li Xiao blurted out without thinking: "Looking at each other in the shape of the moon, we only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals!"
A look of surprise flashed in Nie Yu's eyes. He thought about the first half of the sentence carefully, but in the end he couldn't think of the second half. Either the form was inappropriate or the artistic conception was insufficient. However, Li Xiao's couplet was definitely
It has both form and meaning. He put the two lines of poetry together and read a few lines quickly, with a burning gaze in his eyes, as if a scientist had discovered a new material element. There is no couplet that can be more powerful than this.
It’s suitable, wonderful!
At this time, Nie Xiaoqian's delicate body trembled slightly, and her cold and calm eyes could no longer remain calm. A pair of clear eyes looked straight at Li Xiao, but the excitement in her heart could not be calmed for a long time.
I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals. How many people in this world long to live forever like immortals and have Taoism reaching the heavens. However, compared with this, a sincere emotion is more important. This sentence seems to contain a thousand words,
It's as if any expression of affection in this world seems insignificant.
"Young Master is quick in thinking and unparalleled in talent. Xiaoqian should have found the answer." Nie Xiaoqian smiled at Li Xiaoying, her beautiful smile that eclipsed everything else.
Because of her beauty and talent, many descendants of wealthy officials and literati came to visit her, and matchmakers were invited. Nie Xiaoqian didn't want a sincere relationship, but among these suitors, they were all people who were seeking fame and reputation.
, she gradually got used to keeping a frosty expression, but today when she heard such an emotional poem, her cold frost seemed to be illuminated by warm sunshine, and she burst into a smile.
