Chapter fifty-six human speech
Naturally, Li Huai could not always stay in the study, especially at the time of the mourning of the Hou Mansion.
In recent times, there have been many people coming and going to the Marquis' Mansion. While the paper banners are shaking, the funeral period has passed. As the obituary is heard, Li Huai, as the head of the Marquis' Mansion, has to dress up in clothes and welcome people to come from all over the world.
This is not a simple task, because it involves etiquette, so it is extremely complicated.
Early in the morning, Li Huai was called out, and Li Ju, the chief manager of the Marquis's mansion, told him some things.
"...According to the difference between distance and distance, you have to show different attitudes. There are some considerations. You can't just follow your temperament." Li Zi lowered his head slightly and did not dare to raise his voice. "I know that you have your own opinions, but at this time, you should be safe."
"I understand, don't worry." Li Huai nodded, not showing impatientness. He had to work hard to correct his past notoriety. Moreover, he was really boring to write these days. The progress was mostly completed, and it was time to come out and find materials.
Li Ju breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to do this. After these two days, the people from the court should come, and our Marquis' Mansion will be able to calm down."
Li Huai nodded. Although he knew that there were still people eyeing him, there was no need to tell everyone.
According to the funeral, Li Huai didn't have to show up too much. Although Li Shi had no parent-child, he had a daughter and an elder nephew. These people were the lords of welcome people, so Li Huai didn't show up much, nor did he cause much discussion. However, when he came out today, he immediately realized the difference.
"Uncle Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Li Huai stood outside, and before he could speak, a man of big and thick came over immediately. The man had a pleat on his face and his hair was a bit gray, but he called out to his uncle.
"This..." Li Huai was startled by the enthusiasm of this stout man, "Who are you?"
"I'm a fierce man!" The strong man looked close, "Why did you forget? When you returned to your hometown in Taiyuan, you scolded me severely and warned me to be motivated. This stimulating feeling and the earnest temptation, my nephew has been remembering it until today!"
The sincere feelings in this words are a bit touching, but Li Huai's expression is strange when he listens.
If you can go back to your hometown in Taiyuan, it is definitely not me, but the original Li Huai. With the original Li Huai's personality, it is impossible to spur or tempt it. You also warn to be motivated and reminded? I am afraid that I would grab the guy in front of me and beat him up!"
As soon as he thought of this, Li Huai looked at the person in front of him, and indeed felt that the other party was a little owed to be beaten. He was about to speak when another voice came from beside him-
"Brother Huai, it's been a long time since you were young. You were smart and intelligent when you were young. You have acted so wisely. Now that you have grown up, you are even more heroic!" As this came, an old woman slowly walked over, with two young men supporting her next to her.
When Li Huai saw it, his expression changed. After all, in the world he came through, the word wisdom is sometimes not a compliment.
Who is this? Looking at this demeanor, posture, and words, they have an extraordinary identity. Could it be that the Li family's elder like the old lady?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Huai searched for fragments deep in his memory.
But before he could find it, a bunch of people came over, one by one, all of whom were from Brother Huai, brother and uncle. That was really polite.
After hearing this, Li Huaisan understood. It turns out that his current identity is indeed different.
Looking at the fearful greetings, talking carefully, and when they smiled, they followed them with laughter, and their smiles slightly restrained, and the figures standing solemnly one by one, Li Huai couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this the world of big guys?"
This is different from the respect the servants, guards, female envoys, and maids before them. The people in front of them have some status.
"Everyone says that time travel is good, and this kind of glory and wealth are indispensable!"
Although he was a writer in his previous life, he was always called by readers. Even in his author group, he had no status. In addition, he often had eunuchs and had no confidence in speaking. When did he enjoy such treatment?
"With such treatment, who can't be too bloated? I understand the original Li Huai a little."
Just as Li Huai was immersed in the feeling of stars surrounding the moon, he suddenly saw a middle-aged scholar pushing away the crowd and snorting coldly when he arrived in front of Li Huai.
This cold snorted inconspicuous among the many compliments and flatteries, and was covered up in a blink of an eye, but the man was not willing to give up. Then he said, "What a Marquis of Dingxiang, this person started to make trouble before he could sit down and warm up..."
This person was full of energy, and this opening actually suppressed the voices of others.
The people around him were suddenly shocked, and some people recognized his identity, so they quickly reminded him: "Li Li, don't talk nonsense, and don't look at what place it is! What occasion!"
While speaking, someone stretched out his hand and pulled Li Li's sleeve, trying to pull him into the crowd.
Unexpectedly, this man shook his hands and almost pulled the person who pulled him down, and then he heard him say, "When? If I hadn't been right, how could I speak at this time? Do we still have the reputation of our Li family? Now it's spread everywhere, saying that our new marquis, because of his jealousy of the reputation of a young talented man, wanted to snatch the signature of the article, which was simply ridiculous!"
As soon as he said this, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and a few more people were coming to pull Li Li, but the man struggled endlessly and the crowd suddenly became a mess.
"Enough!"
Suddenly, a slightly old scolding sounded, and the old lady walked out tremblingly with the help of Li Shuchang, and then said to Li Li with a serious expression: "You have read all your books? Where is the etiquette like this at this time?"
"But..." Li Li still waited for another word.
The old lady waved her hand: "Go back and think about her mistakes behind closed doors, so don't say much."
Li Li showed resentment, but did not refute.
Li Shuchang said, "If you keep your door closed, you must stay at home well. No one is allowed to go to any of those occasions and parties when you recite poems and write poems."
When Li Li heard this, his face looked even more ugly.
Li Huai heard something.
Previously, when the scene was in chaos, the people around him all seemed to be trying to guard the death. Therefore, although the crowd was in chaos, it could not affect Li Huai at all. He also did not say a word.
Now, seeing the situation calmed down, he said: "I have heard a little about the rumors outside, and it is useless for me to say more. Justice is in the hearts of the people..."
"I believe in Brother Huai'er!"
"That scholar, few people have heard of him in the past, but who knows him? Who is my uncle? How can I see him like those who are?"
"That's true. I'm afraid that another pretender will be shocking. I want to make a name for Chang'an by relying on this!"
...
Everyone said something, and I said something, while smoothing out Li Huai's situation, he belittled Zheng Xingye.
Li Huai couldn't help but nodded and said, although these words seemed to you to be lying with your teeth and opening your eyes to lie, they were actually true!
His appearance immediately made the people around him feel that his flattery and flattery were just the right thing, and he would become even worse!
Unexpectedly, Li Li, who had just been repelled and walked a few steps away, couldn't help but turn back when he heard this, "Those words can only deceive ourselves, maybe even you can't deceive ourselves! Then Zheng Xingye is a talented person. I have read his articles and wrote them very well. Even the great scholar, Mr. Meng, praised him. What did our marquis look like in the past? Don't you know what it was?"
Everyone immediately glared at him.
Li Huai finally couldn't hold it in, and said, "What's going on? There will always be a day when the truth will come out. Why do you make a rude assertion?"
Li Li stopped and said, "The truth is true and false, there will be a public opinion! I will wait and see! If so..."
"Don't make any promises, I don't have time to see you verify." Li Huai waved his hand, "Go."
Li Wu muttered behind him: "No, this person is nothing, and he is worthy of the Marquis's concern?"
Li Li was stunned, his face turned red, but he gritted his teeth, bowed his hands, turned around without saying a word and left.
"Brother Huai, don't have the same knowledge as him!"
"Yes, it's not worth it."
"I will definitely scold him hard when I go back!"
...
At this time, everyone's words rang out.
Li Huai listened, just laughed, but did not answer.
When his round of gifts ended, Li Huai returned to the back. Li Yu, who had already received the news, was already waiting inside. When he saw someone, he said, "Then Li Li is a junior in the clan. He has been close to some scholars recently and has been blinded. It is said that this person has a lot of admiration for the Miss Liu family. If he said this today, it is probably related to the Liu family."
"Liu family?" Li Huai's expression was strange. "The Liu family and Zheng Xingye have an engagement. Miss Liu family is Zheng Xingye's wife. Unexpectedly, Li Li is actually a licking dog."
Li Yu naturally didn't understand this allusion. He came here this time to persuade Li Huai not to vent his anger on others.
After hearing this, Li Huai said, "The rumors are growing everywhere. Although only Li Li said it, how many people among the people surrounding me don't think so? Just looking at their right and wrong, even if I pursue Li Li, it will be of little use. Instead, it will make people feel guilty. My family thinks so much, let alone outsiders."
"Oh, this matter is getting darker and darker as it is. Zheng Xingye is really a bad person! Every good thing related to him is also!" Li Yu said, his expression also looks ugly.
Li Huai heard a little smell and asked, "Why, Uncle San, did something happen to you?"
"It's not that Luo Xiang!" Li Yu said unhappily, "I used to be kind to him, but I didn't expect that he was an ungrateful wolf. It would be fine if I was ungrateful. Now, in the yamen, I'm asking me for trouble everywhere. Because of his extraordinary background, he will be promoted recently, and has attracted a group of villains and wanted to exclude me!"
This plot sounds familiar!
Li Huai recalled the content of the original text and felt that the situation was getting worse, but calculating the date, it seemed that the literary meeting was not far away, but he didn't think of the specific day, and the great scholars who discussed the Tao did not announce the date.
So he said, "Uncle San, please be tolerant and not be provoked by them and lose your position."
Li Yu laughed instead: "I have to tell you this!" Then he lowered his voice, "Xuanqing, you are good at planning, I think you have already made plans, so you might as well reveal it to make me feel at ease."
Li Huai let out a long breath, suppressed the impulse to explain, and said, "Wait for the day, you will be Qingming."
But he said in his heart: I have no plans? I just wanted to bet on this article and then fight back!
When Li Yu heard this, he was indeed waiting.
A few days later, the Hou Mansion was finished, and everything seemed to gradually subside, but the rumors in the streets did not subside. Instead, because of Zheng Xingye's high-profile performance at several poetry meetings, he became popular with his reputation.
Finally, under this circumstance, the days of the Chang'an Cultural Association were finally settled.
"Are there three days later?"
Li Huai looked at the letter in his hand, took a deep breath, and looked at the stack of manuscripts on the desktop.
"I'm really going to suffocate me! If I don't come, I can't help but run out to hand over the flyer to prove my innocence! I was pointed at my back and said that after talking for so many days, Zheng Xingye, you have to be prepared!"
He sneered.
Chapter completed!
