Li Mu glanced at Xu Jingzong, smiled faintly, and said: "Xu Xu, I don't like people showing off their cleverness, because I haven't found out who is smarter than me, so when I see others showing off their cleverness,
, I am very embarrassed, you think this has been exposed, the other party is not good-looking, so if you don’t expose it, you will feel uncomfortable in your heart."
Xu Jingzong's face turned pale, he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Student, student doesn't understand what the Marquis means."
"If you don't understand, just think about it carefully. I am still patient and can wait for you for a while."
After Li Mu finished speaking, he sipped the tea carefully and tapped the table with his other hand, one after another, as if it was tapping on Xu Jingzong's heart.
Time passed little by little, and the dishes came out one after another, and the beads of sweat on Xu Jingzong's forehead became bigger and bigger. Finally, when the first drop of sweat fell, Xu Jingzong couldn't stand it anymore. He knelt in front of Li Mu and said
: "Jingzong is depressed and frustrated, and can't put anything he has learned to use. I hope that the Marquis can help him a little, and Jingzong will tie a grass ring to repay him."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Yes, it's much better to say something practical than to beat around the bush." He put down the tea cup and said: "I can see you, so I naturally intend to support you, but you are not honest enough with me.
Why should I play the same trick as the Ming Lord? Do you think I am a fool? You don’t have to worry about your disgraceful things. I have no intention of becoming brothers with you. I am just looking for someone to do things. Can you
If you do things well and in line with my wishes, then the reward you deserve will definitely be no less. If you don't do things well, there will be someone to take your place. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on how good you are.
It’s about ability. When it comes to this, Bachelor Xu should know a lot about it, right?”
Xu Jingzong bowed his head and said: "Jingzong understands."
"In a few days, His Majesty will issue a decree to establish a special yamen door to be responsible for rebuilding the law of the Tang Dynasty. Famous scholars will be recruited to join it. I will find a way to recommend you. No accident, you will become this yamen door
The second in command, only under Wei Zheng. Compared with your current situation, it should be considered a support! You should get familiar with it for a few days, and I will send someone to inform you what you need to do. Remember, after today, you will not see me without my summons.
When you are here, just pretend that you don’t know me. I will notify you in advance of what I ask you to do. If you don’t receive notification from me, you can even object to me depending on the situation. Do you understand?"
Xu Jingzong vaguely understood, but not quite. He hesitated and said: "Master Hou, the student is stupid."
"If you are stupid, think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, you are not the person I need."
After saying that, Li Mu stood up, leaving the table full of dishes untouched.
Xu Jingzong waited for Li Mu to go out before he dared to stand up. He sat down as if he had shed a layer of water. He glanced at the food on the table, hesitated, and called the waiter in.
"My guests have left and these dishes have not been touched. Pack them for me. I want to take them away!"
Li Mu, who had just walked not far away, couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "This Xu Jingzong finally has something good that I can like."
…
Taking the elevator to the fifth floor, Li Mu smelled the aroma of food as soon as he came in. Li Yuan has an irregular schedule now. He sometimes gets up very early and occasionally sleeps in. Today he just woke up late. It's neither early nor late. He just
It was breakfast.
"Here comes the boy. Sit down and have a drink with the old guy." Li Yuan pointed to the seat opposite and motioned to the waiter to bring more bowls and chopsticks to Li Mu.
"I'm full, so I went downstairs to get busy." Seeing Li Mu sit down, Li Yourong put down his chopsticks with a cold face and stood up. Li Mu frowned dissatisfied, and Li Yuan patted the back of his hand and said, "The old man let it slip.
Let her know and ignore her. Let's do whatever we have to do." Li Yuan looked at Li Mu with interest and said, "Boy, I'm not rushing you. I know you're busy these days, but don't do it either.
Don’t take it seriously, old man, I don’t have a few more years to live, and I still want to see the next generation in my lifetime.”
Li Mu took the words and said, "It's not easy. I'll give birth in the winter. Then you can see how you want."
"How can it be the same?" Li Yuan shook his head and said: "After all, Yourong is Jiancheng's daughter, and she has suffered so much in these years... That's all, I won't tell you this." Li Yuan took an egg, peeled it, and put it on Li Mu
In the porridge bowl, he said: "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, go do some work for the old man."
"I know, it's all arranged." Li Mu took out a note from his pocket. This was a plan he had written last night about choosing a son-in-law for Li Yourong.
"Now, look at it, what a genius idea!"
"Take a look." Li Yuan picked up the book and squinted at it. Li Mu looked at him and seemed a little unclear, so he asked, "Does the Supreme Emperor feel that his eyes are not being used?"
"I'm old!" Li Yuan sighed and said, "I can barely see now, but in a few years it won't be possible. I'm old and my eyes are dim. Have you never heard of it?"
"Presbyopia..." Li Mu took a sip of porridge and said vaguely: "Maybe there is something I can do."
Li Yuan sneered and said: "Look at your ability, presbyopia is not a disease, unless you are really an immortal..." Li Yuan put the fold on the table, pointed at the content on the fold, and said: "What do you mean, how can you
It doesn’t look like you’re looking for a husband for my granddaughter alone, but it looks like you’re looking for a matchmaker for all the boys and girls in the city?”
"The main purpose is to recruit a son-in-law for the princess." Li Mu chuckled and said: "But you also have to consider that this girl's family is thin-skinned, and the princess's background is a bit special, so it is inevitable that there will be more criticism. How about you see,
Can she be so resistant? But it doesn't matter, I have a smart mind, let's make things bigger and involve a few more people. As the saying goes, having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone. It's embarrassing for one person, but it won't be embarrassing if there are more people.
If you recruit a son-in-law just for the princess alone with great fanfare, it will be a good story if it succeeds, but if it doesn't, it will be very embarrassing. If it is hidden among everyone, whether it succeeds or not, there is a step, how good is it?"
"Hmm... It makes sense." Li Yuan nodded, handed the folder back to Li Mu, and said, "I'm very relieved that you're doing things. Don't leave this thing here for Yourong to see.
Come play chess with me."
Li Mu snorted and said: "As a grandfather, you are still afraid of her!"
"Afraid." Li Yuan sighed and said, "You won't understand until you are my age. No matter how prosperous you are in this life, it will always be different when you get older. In my life, everything is different.
I have tasted this family happiness, but it still lacks a little bit. Now I just hope that Rong will marry into a good family. One day when I go to Jiuquanxia and meet her father, I can also say, I am this
