After Li Xu returned home, he sent a visiting invitation to the Huang family.
Li Yaonan, whose courtesy name is Donglin, the so-called Li Mansion Visiting Card is actually Li Yaonan's name card. It not only has his courtesy name, but also his official seal, which is also a symbol of his identity.
In order to support his son, Li Yaonan gave Li Xu a stack of money before he left.
When Magistrate Huang received the gold-inlaid business card, he was first shocked, and then angry.
He was so angry that he wished he could send his son back to be retrained. Everyone in the court knew who Li Yaonan was. That guy was cruel and vicious. Didn't you see how many people were brought down by him when he went to Yunnan
Li Yaonan is not only the evil spirit of the Hanlin Academy, he is also the evil spirit of the local government. Wherever he goes, anyone who crosses him will be in trouble. Although Li Xu is not afraid, who can help but feel angry when Li Yaonan is mentioned? Even if he has a backer in the capital, he dare not challenge the imperial teacher, not to mention that guy is known for protecting his shortcomings.
Magistrate Huang was furious and scolded his son harshly: "Tell me what you have done."
"Asshole."
"Today I will definitely discipline you well."
Huang Wenhao was shocked and frightened. He lowered his head and listened to the lecture attentively. Before Magistrate Huang could use the family rules, his old lady came, so Mr. Huang ran away quickly.
So, this is how a playboy is raised. Behind every playboy there must be an ancestor who loves him.
"If anyone dares to touch my beloved grandson, I will fight him to the death." The old lady cursed angrily while leaning on her crutches. Compared with her grandson, her son would definitely be crushed into pieces.
Magistrate Huang was angry and annoyed, but helpless; the matter of educating his son once again came to nothing.
The next day, Li Xu came to visit.
Prefect Huang went out to greet him. Normally, Li Xu had no achievements, so even if he was the son of the emperor's tutor, it was not right for a prefect to go out and greet him in person. But thinking of the bad things his son had done, Prefect Huang thought it would be better to be cautious.
Both the guests and the hosts had a great time that day.
It only took Li Xu two quarters of an hour to go from testing Magistrate Huang in the beginning to admiring him later.
Suzhou is the territory of Prefect Huang. Li Xu has not entered the court as an official, so he is not foolish enough to raise the banner of eliminating harm for the people and upholding justice. Where would the governor of Jiangsu be placed in this way? Li Xu has always believed in the principles taught by his father.
Whether Huang Zhifu is good or not, the court will punish him. As a student who has not yet taken the imperial examination, what reason does he have to stand out? Moreover, every family has a few playboys. To put it bluntly, the conflict between him and Huang Wenhao is just a small matter. If the two sides really become enemies because of this matter, even if Huang Zhifu does not get any good, he will not gain any advantage. It will only make people think that he is bullying others by taking advantage of his power. In the future, he will also have a reputation of being narrow-minded in the officialdom. After all, he is still a commoner, while Huang Zhifu is an official. Judging from his political achievements, although Huang Zhifu has made mistakes, his merits outweigh his faults. Before his private tricks were exposed, he was a good official.
Li Xu talked and laughed freely, and his words transformed the tense atmosphere into a harmonious one.
Prefect Huang sighed in his heart, he was indeed a child taught by the Emperor's teacher, at such a young age he was well versed in the ways of dealing with people and things, he never mentioned a word about Huang Wenhao's attempts to dominate the village, he only talked about the prosperity of Suzhou, which made him feel flattered, but when he really tried to make friends with Li Xu, the other party kept making excuses, although his words were nice, in fact he didn't make any promises, it was really like the younger generation pushing the older generation out.
Prefect Huang felt a little regretful. It seemed that it was not possible to make friends with Lord Li. However, it would be good if he could avoid offending him.
After dinner, Li Xu went back home. He and Prefect Huang both understood that no matter what happened in the future, the previous grudges would be forgotten and they would maintain peace on the surface.
Because of the influence of this incident, Li Xu was not in the mood to hang around in the following days. He focused on studying and preparing for the exam in the other courtyard.
A few days later, Fu Qianhua came to visit.
Li Xu was a little surprised. He thought Fu Qianhua would use the business card for other places, but unexpectedly, he returned the business card to him.
"Master, Master Fu is still waiting in the front yard, please see..."
Li Xu was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Invite him to sit in the flower hall for a while, accept the thank you gift, and leave the rest for now. If he has any difficulties or makes any requests, you can agree to them as long as they are not excessive."
"Yes, young master." The servant answered respectfully. He knew in his heart that the young master would not go to meet him. However, even so, Master Fu was lucky. You know, being able to make a request to the Li family is something that many people would beg for.
Fu Qianhua was waiting nervously in the front yard. When he heard that Li Xu would not come to see him, he didn't know whether he was more disappointed or relieved. He nodded slightly. He neither made any requests nor said what difficulties he had. He just asked the servants to bring a few books and sat leisurely in the flower hall to drink tea and read.
After knowing this, Li Xu was silent for a moment and quickly put the matter behind him. In the matter of Fu Qianhua, he was moved by compassion and wanted to help if he could, but other than that, if Fu Qianhua did not mention what he wanted, he would not ask too much, as they were just casual acquaintances.
Time passed quickly and Fu Qianhua stayed until the evening before leaving.
Li Xu didn't take it to heart. Huang Wenhao's problem had been solved. Since Mr. Fu had nothing, he probably wouldn't have any difficulties. He thought that after today, they would no longer have any intersection.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Fu Qianhua came to visit again with a visiting card.
This time, Li Xu also did not see him, and a hint of curiosity arose in his heart. Since Fu Qianhua had nothing to ask for, why did he visit him so frequently
He wants to see himself
Li Xu shook his head and crossed out this item. He was frightened by the various encounters in the capital and was a little paranoid. Judging from Mr. Fu's words and actions, he didn't seem like the kind of person who wanted to seek power and wealth. Besides, he had never asked to see him.
Li Xu hesitated for a while and decided to wait and see.
Fu Qianhua stayed in the flower hall reading a book. He came quietly and left quietly without causing any noise.
More than ten days later, when Li Xu was about to forget him, Fu Qianhua came to visit again with a visiting card.
This is the last visiting card.
Li Xu looked at the gold-inlaid visiting card and laughed in his heart. No matter where his father's visiting card was used, even if it was used as a favor, it was better than returning it to himself. Did Fu Qianhua not know about it, or did he have other plans
It has to be said that this Mr. Fu successfully aroused Li Xu's curiosity and made him remember this person.
However, Li Xu still didn't see him. He was waiting, wondering whether Mr. Fu would take the next move.
It’s a pity that Li Xu was disappointed.
Just like the previous two times, Fu Qianhua quietly found a place to read a book, and left without any reluctance, only saying goodbye more than the previous two times.
Li Xu was a little puzzled. When did his father's visiting card become so worthless and it actually returned to his hands like this.
His doubts were soon resolved.
Two days later, news came from the Cheng'an Earl's Mansion that Fu Jia Shuang'er had disappeared.
Li Xu understood it immediately. It was a pity that such a smart man spent all day hunting geese, but finally got his eyes pecked by a wild goose.
When Fu Qianhua came to visit, he actually didn't need to see him at all. As long as he stepped into the door of the Li Mansion, he could borrow the power of the Li Mansion. It was such an obvious truth, but he only understood it now. As expected, he was still a little immature compared to his father and had a lot to learn.
I heard that there was a burglary in the mansion of Cheng'an Earl, and now a large-scale search is being carried out everywhere.
Fussy figures are often seen at the gate of Li Mansion.
Li Xu was a little angry and a little amused. It was refreshing for Fu Qianhua to leave, but he left a mess for him to clean up. After all, if he didn't have his support, Fu Qianhua wouldn't have been able to leave so smoothly. No wonder he didn't ask for anything. It turned out that he was waiting here.
Thanks to Li Yaonan's high position and power, even if the people in the Bo Mansion had doubts or dissatisfaction, they did not dare to act wildly against the Li Mansion. Otherwise, this matter might not be resolved peacefully.
Li Xu learned a profound lesson from this. Even though he really knew nothing, he was still tricked by Fu Qianhua.
Every experience makes you wiser. From then on, Li Xu learned a lesson: never underestimate anyone.
Soon, the day of the scientific expedition arrived.
Li Xu lived up to everyone's expectations and won the first place.
He was the son of Li Yaonan, and the greater his status, the greater his responsibility. Apart from the first place, any place he got would be a disgrace to the Li family.
Although his father did not ask for anything, it was precisely because of this that he was more strict with himself.
The title of the Emperor's Master's Son meant that he could not make any mistakes. The previous incident was a lesson. He did not regret helping Fu Qianhua. He only regretted that he did not handle it well enough, did not think deeply enough, and even involved himself. In fact, all of this could have been avoided.
He shouldn't have helped Fu Qianhua but didn't investigate Cheng Anbo's Mansion.
Second, he shouldn't have done that. Fu Qianhua's behavior was obviously strange, but he never thought of investigating it further.
The third thing he shouldn't have done was that Fu Qianhua was a double-brother, and he was a man. It was understandable that he came to thank her the first time, but he shouldn't have turned her away the second and third time. It would have been bad for his reputation if the news got out that he was in a compromising situation. Otherwise, how could the power of the Li Mansion be so easily borrowed, and how could the Cheng'anbo Mansion suspect him
The fourth thing I shouldn’t have done was being careless and coming to a strange place without collecting local information.
Five things not to do...
Li Xu counted carefully and suddenly realized that he had done so many wrong things. He never thought that the first lesson in his life would be taught by Shuang'er.
He wasn't actually very angry with Fu Qianhua. He was just angry with himself for not acting thoughtfully enough.
If he had known about the situation of the Bo Mansion earlier, he would have understood why Fu Qianhua just left. Thinking back to the past, his father and his dad also cheated the Li Mansion and left without a carefree attitude. He admired Shuang'er's courage and only hoped that everything would go well for him in the future.
