"Uncle, there are a few people outside who say they are doctors from the Imperial College who want to see you, and they have been waiting there for half an hour." Lao Fang leaned on the gate of the courtyard, looked inside and said.
"Guozijian?" Li Yi didn't even raise his head. Isn't Guozijian a firm member of the King of Shu Party? Why did you come to see him
"Did they bring prayers?"
"It seems not..." Lao Fang thought for a while, then shook his head and said.
"Then say I'm not here, let them go." Li Yi waved his hand impatiently. He didn't even understand the most basic etiquette when he came to the door for the first time. He was a doctor of the Imperial College. Where did he read the sage books for so many years? up.
Didn't the sages teach them to bring enough gifts when visiting others
Lao Fang took the order, walked outside the gate of the mansion, and said to the people beside the carriage: "My uncle is not here, you go."
"Not here?" Several Guozijian doctors looked at each other and looked at each other.
Li Xianzi was confined at home by His Majesty and could not go anywhere. Even if he wanted to deal with them, he had to find a decent reason, right
People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Even though they were so annoyed, they still had to maintain politeness on the surface. They cupped their hands and said, "Please inform us again, and say that Dr. Guozijian, according to His Majesty's order, came to report to Li Xianzi. Learn new arithmetic."
"Don't you guys understand the words?" Lao Fang said impatiently: "My uncle said that he is not here, so you should go back and forth wherever you came from."
After Lao Fang finished speaking, he turned his head and walked inside, not forgetting to tell the two guards at the door, "Keep your eyes open in the future, and don't let anyone come in to report, especially those who don't bring prayers!"
"Yes, Manager Fang!"
Lao Fang is now the chief guard of the Viscount's Mansion, so the two guards naturally dare not have any opinions.
Director Fang even dared to reprimand the adults of the Imperial College, which annoyed him. They must have no good fruit to eat.
"Arrogance, it's too arrogant!"
A middle-aged man in Tsing Yi's face was livid. Siye and Dr. Guozijian came to the door in person, just to visit a county magistrate, and they didn't even go in the door. What kind of contempt and insult is this to them
"Forget it, let's go back first." Si Ye, who took the lead, waved his hands and said helplessly.
With that Li Xianzi's temperament, today's rejection was also within his expectation. In the court hall a few days ago, all the members of the Imperial College impeached this Li Xianzi, wanting him to greet him with a smile, of course Also just dreaming.
However, he didn't expect that the other party's attitude was so firm, they didn't even step over the threshold of the Viscount's Mansion...
In any case, Li Xianzi must meet. They can't guarantee that if they make a wrong calculation next time, their brains will grow safely on their bodies...
For the sake of my own head and the future of the Imperial College, I have to swallow this breath, and I can only wait until tomorrow to prepare a generous gift before coming to visit.

…
Holding a big puppet in her arms, Xiaohuan stood behind Li Yi and watched him work.
On a hot day, she didn't want to put down the doll her uncle sewed for her. She held a small one in her arms and a big one on the bed, which was stuffed with rags. It was comfortable to sleep with her at night.
In the past, she always slept with the eldest lady, but after she had a uncle, she could only sleep alone. When it was cloudy and thunderstorms, she would be so scared that she couldn't sleep. In the past two days, with the doll in her arms, she slept much more peacefully.
"Uncle, I sent those people away." Lao Fang walked in again from the outside and said, "I think they will come again. What if they bring gifts next time?"
"Then keep the gift, and people will drive it away." Li Yi said casually while thinking about whether the bow on the horns of the beautiful sheep was on the left or the right.
"Oh." Lao Fang nodded, and said again: "Then if there is nothing else, I will go to old man Sun to help. If there is anything, uncle, let someone come to the Goulan in the city to call me."
Li Yi waved his hand, "Go, there's nothing wrong here, remember to take a shower when you come back, there is no smell of perfume in the hook bar."
After a while, Lao Fang walked out of the house with a smile on his face.
Gou Lan is going to take a look, otherwise the mother-in-law and aunt at home will not be able to explain it. If there is a chance, I will help the second lady. By the way, I will find a few top-ranked martial arts masters to fight. At that time, there will be something to brag about with Xiao Hong …
"Is it the left side or the right side? If it's just one side, won't the asymmetry look a bit uncomfortable?" Looking at the uncle who started talking to himself again, the little girl was a little worried. The uncle seemed a little uncomfortable these days That's right...
…
…
"Did they really say that?" In the Palace of Qinzheng, Emperor Jing frowned and asked.
"The envoy of the Qi State, the old minister has not had time to present it to His Majesty." An old man in Tsing Yi said below: "These days, they even wantonly spread this matter in the market, whether your Majesty agrees or not, they are There is no loss at all. If His Majesty agrees, it is inevitable to fight with them again. If His Majesty does not agree, I am afraid that it will greatly damage my court reputation, which is exactly what they want to see... "
"Even if I agree, what are our chances of winning?" Emperor Jing said after pondering for a moment.
The old man smiled wryly and said: "I'm afraid the chances of winning are not great. Qin Xiang lost in the scriptures, Wang Zhong lost in the poems, Bai Yu played chess with an old man, and all three games were black. The situation, others, needless to say..."
"There are only a few people in the country of Qi. Is it true that there is no one in the country of Jing?" Emperor Jing asked with a sullen face.
The old man shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Everyone knows that Qin Xiang lost the scriptures, the poet ghost lost the poetry, and Bai Yu lost the chess skills, but they don't know that the nameless old man who debated the scriptures with Qin is the three. Ten years ago, the Great Wenzong, who was famous in Qi, disappeared and devoted himself to writing for 30 years, how can Qin Xiang easily win?"
"In addition, the young man who competed with Wang Zhong in poetry is known as the most talented poet in the millennium in Qi State. He is known as a poet sage at a young age. He is more than ten years younger than Wang Zhong, and he has a quick mind. At that time, it is not uncommon to beat Shi Gui."
"Bai Yu's loss is also not wronged, because even his father, he never won against that person back then. Daqi Qihun has never lost a game with anyone since he was young, so how can he be in vain? "
The old man sighed and said: "This time they concealed their identities and accompanied the envoys of the Qi State. They clearly wanted to embarrass our country in front of the world and save the face of defeat in the battlefield. A generation of Wen Zong insisted on using the nameless old man Self-confessed, the young poet sage opened his mouth and shut his mouth as "the younger generation is not talented", and the chess spirit who is famous all over the world, only said, "I have played chess for a few years, and I just understand it... ", what can we do?"
It's not as good as it is, no matter whether the opponent is Wenzong or the poet, they will suppress the people of Jingguo to death. What their identities are is not important at all. The only important thing is that the people of Qiguo are bullying them. Take it or not!
"I don't believe it, this big capital can't find a capable person!"
After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Jing snorted coldly, waved his sleeves violently, and said, "Go ask them, how do you want to compare?"
