Little Eunuch Chen's eyes narrowed, and his smile became more and more warm. This was the prelude to the anger of the 'Eunuch Gao'. The angrier he got, the more smiles appeared on his face.
After leaving the palace wall, young Eunuch Chen himself wanted to start a new life. Otherwise, he would not have asked Li Yuan to give him the name Chen Guan. Didn't he want to get rid of his status as a eunuch? He just compared Wei Yingluo to Kong Yingda's concubine, Wei Yingluo.
Yingluo immediately pointed out his identity as an eunuch, which showed that he was a master who was unwilling to suffer losses.
"It turns out that she is the daughter of Duke Wei. She is really talented. Why didn't Duke Wei come today?"
"My father has been slandered by villains, and is concerned about important matters of family and country. He is worried and sick, and is recuperating at home."
"Oh," Little Eunuch Chen nodded in understanding, and then asked, "I wonder where the congratulatory gift from Duke Wei is. Please give me the gift list so that I can record it."
"My family has no money left, so I only have one set of congratulatory cards written by my father." As she said that, Wei Yingluo took a scroll from the person behind her and unfolded it halfway. It was Wei Zheng's handwritten congratulatory card. For such a big event, she only sent one congratulatory card.
, it’s really hard to explain. But there is no trace of shame on Wei Yingluo’s face. Her eyes are still clear, as if being poor is an honor.
What a sharp-tongued girl!
Young Eunuch Chen secretly remembered Wei Yingluo in his heart and accepted the congratulatory note with a smile. He called a waiter and asked her to take Kong Yingda and his party to sit down.
At this time Li Mu came down from upstairs, because the Supreme Emperor had arrived, and the Supreme Emperor had already learned the mechanics of this building. Moreover, Li Yuan liked showing off the most, so of course Li Mu couldn't compete with him. It just so happened that Eunuch Gao also
After arranging for the escort to accompany the driver, Li Mu took the opportunity to withdraw.
When Little Eunuch Chen saw Li Mu, he hurriedly walked up and told what had just happened. Li Mu followed the direction of Little Eunuch Chen's finger and saw the table where Kong Yingda was sitting, and at a glance he saw Wei Yingluo, who was disguised as a man. Wei Yingluo seemed to also
She found him and was talking to Chen Danqiu. Suddenly she turned around and saw Li Mu looking at her and nodded very politely.
"Manager, this girl has a sharp tongue. I don't think she is inferior to her father."
"I understand. The Emperor is here. You can go and do your work. I will take care of it here."
Young Eunuch Chen responded and went to wait on Li Yuan. Li Mu smiled, ignored Wei Yingluo's provocative gaze, turned around and continued to receive the new guests.
Kong Yingda looked at Li Mu's back bitterly and said to Wei Yingluo: "You see, how arrogant and arrogant you are. You put me here without saying anything or even saying hello. You are really unworthy of a human being!"
"Uncle Kong is not angry. You are not here for him today."
"That's true!" Kong Yingda got to a step and came down. Otherwise, what else could he do to argue with Li Mu? He suffered two losses in Li Mu's hands and lost all his face. Today's guests are like this
Too much, he doesn't dare to cause trouble anymore.
Wei Yingluo smiled, but she didn't think so in her heart. Although she came here today, she was on Li Mu's hostile side, but talking about the matter, Wei Yingluo didn't think Li Mu meant to be disrespectful to Kong Yingda. First of all, the other person was not present, and besides,
At this moment, she also observed that the people sitting on the first floor were indeed officials of the fourth and fifth grades. Kong Yingda said that it was normal to sit here.
Although Kong Yingda has the title of "descendant of Saint Kong", everyone respects him. But is it wrong that people don't want to respect your name? If you want to force the theory, you can only make a fool of yourself.
In fact, Wei Yingluo just lied. It was not Wei Zheng’s intention that she come here today. Wei Zheng has three sons, and even if he is sick, he will not let his daughter dress up as a man to do the work for him. The real situation is that Wei Zheng is just like the Shandong nobles.
She chose not to participate. Wei Yingluo came here on her own, and she imitated Wei Zheng's handwriting on the congratulatory note. The purpose of her coming here was to meet Li Mu.
In the past few days, the fight between Wei Zheng and Li Mu has become a commotion and everyone in Chang'an is aware of it. Wei Yingluo, as Wei Zheng's daughter, naturally knows it all too well. At the beginning, Wei Zheng had the upper hand, and she even felt a little pity for Li Mu, but then,
Li Mulian resorted to clever tricks to survive, and even attacked Wei Zheng in return, causing Wei Zheng to suffer the biggest humiliation since his surrender to the Tang Dynasty. This was something Wei Yingluo never expected.
As Wei Zheng's daughter, even though she knew that Wei Zheng had some disgrace in this matter, she could not blame her father. On the contrary, when Li Mu retaliated, Wei Zheng was slapped and was so angry that he vomited blood. As her daughter
, deeply ashamed.
She came today just to observe Li Mu and see if she could find an opportunity to make Li Mu embarrassed and vent his anger for her father, so she came. But after seeing Li Mu, she was a little unexpected. The Li Mu she imagined,
He should be a sharp-tongued man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, but the Li Mu she saw was different from what she imagined. He was neither a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek, nor a reckless man, nor a handsome scholar, so she had to describe it.
If so, this person gave her the feeling of being 'spiritual', but other than that, there was nothing special about him.
Suddenly, Wei Yingluo saw a veiled woman approaching. Li Mu saw her and hurriedly greeted her. The two chatted for a few words, and Li Mu personally sent the woman to the second floor. Wei Yingluo frowned slightly.
Eyebrow, the father-in-law just said that those who can climb to the second floor must be Dukes of the third rank or above. Who is this woman, who is worthy of climbing to the second floor?
"That's unreasonable!"
Kong Yingda had also been keeping an eye on Li Mu. Seeing that he was so attentive to a woman, but she could only sit on the first floor, she couldn't bear the shame. She slapped the table, got up and went straight to Li Mu. Wei Yingluo saw this
, followed quickly. Chen Danqiu had just picked up the tea cup and was about to taste the 'new tea' made by Li Mu. When he saw this scene, he had to put it down and hurriedly chased after him.
Li Mu arranged Wang Ou in his private room, explained a few words, turned around and went downstairs, just in time to see Kong Yingda coming over angrily. Thinking that he would become half a disciple of this old man tomorrow, Li Mu felt a little depressed instantly, and said
Li Mu actually didn't suffer from the feud between the two, but made Kong Yingda very angry. He didn't dislike Kong Yingda at all. He just found the old man to be quite stubborn and always wanted to preach to others, which was a bit annoying.
.
School was about to start, and it was better to have a good relationship with the principal. Thinking of this, Li Mu cheered up and greeted him with a smile.
"Kong Jijiu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you feeling better?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Mu felt a little regretful. What kind of words are they called? Last time in Liangyi Palace, he made Kong Yingda faint with anger. What if he mentions his body now? Isn't it like a slap in the face?
Sure enough, Kong Yingda's face turned dark instantly, and he said angrily: "I don't dare to take it for you, Lord Marquis! I'm looking for you just to ask, who is that woman? Could it be your female dependents? I was blocked just now, wasn't it?
You let me go upstairs, but you put your own women upstairs, what's the point?"
For some reason, Li Mu saw the old man excited and wanted to play tricks on him. He suppressed his smile, as if he had been caught by his pigtails, and showed an embarrassed look. He glanced at Kong Yingda carefully and said: "
Oops, let's not talk about this..."
"You must explain it clearly to me!"
"Seriously?"
"It must be said!"
"Hey, Kong Jijiu, why are you trying to embarrass me? This matter... is really hard to say. If I say it, I won't be able to keep my face."
Wei Yingluo had been standing behind Kong Yingda and peeking at Li Mu's expression. She saw that he was smiling but not smiling. Although he made an embarrassed expression, his eyes were full of smiles. Sensing something was wrong, she quickly reached out and pulled Kong Yingda's sleeve and whispered
He said: "Uncle Kong, let's forget it."
"No!" Kong Yingda broke away from Wei Yingluo's hand and said: "Zhuluhou, you must explain clearly why the woman just now can go upstairs. Is she a duke or a third-grade prince? Why is she a head taller than us?
?”
Li Muchang sighed and said: "Then I'll tell you. The lady just now was Mrs. Peony who donated 100,000 yuan to help the victims when the Yellow River flooded in the first year of Zhenguan. She was a first-class imperial conferment by His Majesty himself, not a duke.
She is better than a prince, not of the third rank, but of the first rank. It is natural for her to sit upstairs. If Kong Jijiu is not convinced, he can go to his majesty to argue, or he can donate one hundred thousand yuan. When the money comes, he can do it right away.
Go upstairs."
"you!"
Kong Yingda's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. Young Eunuch Chen had just compared him with Li Ji, saying that his title was low and his official position was low, but he could tolerate it. After all, the person being compared was Li Ji, so it wasn't very embarrassing. But.
Now, Li Mu compared him with a woman, and compared him with something as vulgar as money, which made Kong Yingda, who had been reading poetry all his life, feel increasingly angry.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Mu say: "Kong Jijiu, I'm not telling you, your temper needs to change. You are so old and you are still so hot, it is not good for your health. Just now I thought
I said it, but I can’t keep my face. If you don’t believe me, well... why bother?”
"I, I... I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"
Kong Yingda was really speechless and turned around to leave. Chen Danqiu awkwardly bowed his hand to Li Mu and wanted to follow him back. But Li Mu stopped him and said, "Master Chen, I will go to Chongwen tomorrow."
I'm studying in the library, so I won't have to deal with you in the future, so please take care of me."
"Ah, it's easy to talk about. Everyone knows that the Marquis is talented. It is not appropriate to use the word "teacher". It can be discussed and discussed."
Chen Danqiu is a smart man. Last time he and three censors impeached Li Mu and stood up for Kong Yingda, but failed to get a favor. He restrained himself in time and was not punished. Later, when Kong Yingda was defeated again, he already knew that Li Mu was someone he could not mess with.
After that, he never said a bad word to Li Mu again, even when it was discussed behind his back, he did not participate. Now he was rewarded, Li Mu actually greeted him, which made him feel honored.
.
Chen Danqiu turned around and left. Li Mu turned his attention to Wei Yingluo, who was staring at him, and said with a smile: "Are you the daughter of Duke Wei and you come to me for revenge?"
