The person who came was a middle-aged man with a long beard and a straight jacket. He walked over with a long stride and looked quite elegant.

It's just that when Li Huai saw that person clearly, he couldn't get angry at all. Isn't this the reason why he has been saying greetings and saying a few words when he has nothing to do recently? The culprit that put him in such a predicament is the third uncle of the Li family, Li Yu!

"Hey, third uncle! Long time no see, no, long time no talk!"

Although he was filled with hatred in his heart, he still had to maintain the most basic etiquette on face, but these words made Li Yu, who was walking quickly, tremble.

After the greetings, Li Huai also came back to his senses. Thinking of Li Yu's previous title, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

What's the matter with calling this nephew? In the past, this cheap relative always had a cold face at the wedding and only called him by his first name. How come he became a nephew after not seeing each other for a few days? Could it be...

Thinking that as the plot unfolded, the protagonist Zheng Xingye had probably entered Chang'an, and many things must be happening in Chang'an City, which was originally used as the background, and he suddenly made some guesses.

Could it be that you came to see me if something happened?

He was thinking in his mind, but Li Yu had already arrived.

"Ahem," the third master of the Li family coughed lightly, glanced at the junior who was saluting him as he left and returned, and said, "Brother Huai, I have a good relationship with the junior."

Calling him so affectionate must have something to do with it!

Li Huai thought about it, but he remained calm on the surface, just telling some stories on a whim.

Li Yu said: "It's always good if you want to get close to the younger generation. It's just that you can listen to these folk tales and legends for fun. You shouldn't tell others about them. They are not popular.

Once word of this gets out, it will be bad for your reputation!"

Li Huai doesn't like hearing this anymore, so why don't he join the mainstream? Besides, what kind of reputation do I have?

So he just laughed and said nothing.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Several juniors also realized that this famous and sage elder in the clan was going to cut off the opportunity for themselves and others to listen to stories in the future. Their faces turned dark immediately, but it was just because of the rules that it was difficult to get angry.

When Li Yu saw this situation, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Have you finished your homework today? If you have done it, you should go and read poetry and books. Go, go!"

The juniors immediately pulled faces and left with resentful expressions on their faces.

Li Huai glanced at the few guards around him, and then said with a smile: "I want my third uncle to know that I also had a whim that day. I casually said it, but unexpectedly, I was worried about it by several nephews, and they have been pestering me these days.

Let me tell you, I am really helpless.”

"These guys don't know what's important. You're a newlywed, and it's too late to accompany the Wei family's wife. How can you give them a speech?" Li Yu said, shaking his head slightly.

"Third uncle is still reasonable." Li Huai nodded, flattered him a little, and then changed the subject, "But how come third uncle remembered to come and talk to me today? I remember that when I met my nephew a few days ago, he was always in a roundabout way.

You are walking, why do you have time to talk today? Is there something wrong?"

Li Yu suddenly became embarrassed. Thinking of his previous attitude and proposal in front of Mr. Liu, and knowing Li Huai's resentment, he couldn't help but regret a little. But he was an elder after all, and he couldn't help but admit his mistakes to his juniors.

Fortunately, he has been through the ups and downs of officialdom for a long time. At this time, his expression did not change, and he actually took advantage of the situation and said: "I see you are so impatient, but something is wrong?"

Li Huai said that he was going to see his mother. His heart became clearer and clearer, and he sneered secretly. He was so arrogant in the front and respectful in the back. He was afraid that things in the Yamen of Dali Temple had already begun. But he didn't know whether the worst case scenario had already happened.

Li Yu then said: "I also want to see your mother, but since I have seen you, I am not in a hurry. Why don't you and my uncle and nephew have a drink?" He pointed to the pavilion not far away.

Drinking early in the morning?

Li Huai shook his head.

Li Yu's expression changed slightly, thinking that Li Huai was going to refuse, so he was about to say a few words.

Li Huai smiled and said: "Yesterday, my father-in-law's house sent good tea, and I would like to invite you to taste it." Then he ordered Li Wu to go back to get the tea set, and then walked towards the pavilion laughing and talking with Li Yu.

Qiao Qi and other guards followed closely behind. They did not rush Li Huai, but they were curious as to why the attitude of the third master of the Li family today was so different from the past.

Among them, only Qiao Qi had experienced the visit from Li Yu before the marriage. He also had speculations in his heart, but he was still not sure, so his eyes wandered, scanning back and forth on the faces of Li Huai and Li Yu.

"Xuan Qing, after you got married, you have really become different. You have become much calmer, and even your speech has become more steady." Sitting down in the pavilion, Li Yu praised him.

"You always praise me in different ways, my nephew is really embarrassed," Li Huai curled his lips secretly, with a smile on his face, "Uncle, why did you come here this time? You can't just come to see me, right?

.”

Li Yu's eyelids twitched, and he forced a smile and said: "I heard that you have been working hard in the house recently, but you haven't..."

Li Huai interrupted directly: "Hey, you still can't get out, I don't know what happened outside."

Li Yu's eyelids twitched again, and he felt a little unable to sit still, but he still had to bite the bullet and said: "I came here this time because I heard that your friend has now arrived in Gyeonggi. He probably entered Guanzhong the day before yesterday. I wanted to come.

It’s almost there.”

"The little prince is coming soon?" Li Huai finally put away his little emotions and became serious. He has also tried to find out the news through some channels these days, because it is related to the progress of the plot, but this friend from his predecessor is now a member of the imperial court.

Whether a general goes on an expedition or comes back to report on his duties, it is considered military affairs. Although it is not a secret, it is actually taboo for servants of the Xungui family to inquire about it. What's more, Li Huai has not yet taken power at the moment, so the information is vague, so we can only

Make an approximation.

Now when I heard Li Yu's words, I calculated the days in my mind and suddenly became alert.

"It's either today or tomorrow!" His tone was quite serious.

"Exactly, if you hurry up, you will be on the road today, if you go slower, it will be tomorrow." Li Yu nodded, "The little Duke's victory on the border is a great victory that has not been seen in several years. There will be a heavy reward, and he will also be rewarded in the future.

Zhongyong, you have a close relationship with him. We were classmates back then. Remember to walk around in the past few days. If you need anything, just tell your third uncle and I will prepare it for you."

Li Huai raised his head and said directly: "I want to go for a walk, but I can't leave the house."

Li Yu's eyelids twitched one after another, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and he sat awkwardly, but he knew that he could not avoid these words, so he could only nod his head and said: "I will explain it to your mother. This is a business matter and cannot be delayed. Besides, in the future you will

As the face of the Hou Mansion, we need strong help."

As for why a prodigal like Li Huai became the face of the Hou Mansion? Neither of them said much.

After hearing this, Li Huai breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that with Li Yu's intervention, the biggest problem before could be solved. Although it was a little late, it was better than not being able to get out, so he also restrained his attitude and did not provoke the other party.

, and then said: "My nephew remembers this. When the young prince comes back, he will definitely visit him as soon as possible."

Li Yu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak.

Li Huai was the first to say, "By the way, I don't know what's going on in my uncle's yamen, but that's fine."

When Li Yu heard this, his spirit was shaken. He subconsciously sat up straight and was about to speak. However, at this moment, Li Huai pointed to the group of people beside him and said, "Tea has just arrived. Let's talk while cooking."

It was Li Wu who came with a few servants, carrying tea jars, tea sets, low stoves, and small cases. Afterwards, he visited for a while and got busy.

Li Huai introduced the tea with a smile. Li Yu was anxious in his heart. He finally got to the point of business, but was cut off by others. He felt uncomfortable and couldn't express it.

After a while, Li Huai began to stir the tea powder, and Li Yu finally brought the topic back.

"There is a rumor recently that it is Luo Xiang..." Li Yu looked embarrassed, "It is said that Luo Xiang is a relative of Shaoqing, and that he is a clansman of Dali Temple Qing. I inquired about it privately, and this is not true.

In fact, he is actually an in-law of the Minister of Punishment! It was just to avoid suspicion and it was not made public. No one inside or outside the Yamen knew about it."

If you didn't think about this kind of thing beforehand, you certainly wouldn't investigate it. Once you realize it, it's easy to investigate, especially for a wealthy family like the Li family.

"That's it." Li Huai nodded. No wonder he dared to write like this before. It turned out that he was not from a yamen, but he had a bigger background! It seems that he is not a person who writes casually!

However, he consciously ignored the part where the world completed itself, and asked instead: "I just don't know, when did my uncle learn about this news?"

Li Yu knew what he meant and said: "After I knew the news, I... followed my nephew's suggestion and recommended Luo Xiang to fill the vacancy. The result made Shangguan happy. After further investigation, I found out that Luo Xiang was Shangguan's in-law. Let me

I have been recommended." There was joy in his tone.

Li Huai was in a daze for a while, because this matter had a different meaning to him.

This plot has finally changed!

Although it is only a little, it is of great significance!

While he was thinking about it, Li Yu said: "Shangguan has been very important to me in recent days, and he has become even closer to me. Yesterday, he specially told me that after three days, it will be the birthday of Si Qing's mother..." He paused.

After a pause, he said, "I have to give gifts at this time, but this matter is very important. It should not be taken seriously or lightly, and it must not harm others. I wonder if Xuan Qing, your good friend, can find out something about the mother of the temple minister.

What do you like?"

I see!

Li Huai understood it completely. No wonder this cheap third uncle was hesitant and arrogant. It turned out that he had something to ask for, but he did not answer. Instead, he poured the tea, put it in front of the table, and said with a smile: "This matter

Don't worry, uncle, please drink this tea first and have a taste."

Li Yu was anxious, but he could only suppress it, so he picked up the tea and took a sip.

"How do you like this tea?" Li Huai asked, squinting his eyes.

Li Yu didn't care what happened, he swallowed it and said: "It smells good! It smells so good!"
Chapter completed!
