I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

When he said this, there was deep dissatisfaction in the sentence.

In his opinion, or in the view of the Kong family today.

People like them should associate with princes and nobles, and be regarded as guests by them. Even if they can't, they shouldn't communicate with restaurants every day. The news of the store asking for advice came out.

Occasionally, once or twice, they can still play the "don't be ashamed to ask" hand to show the Kong family's bearing.

But every day.
That's the level where "don't be ashamed to ask" can't be rounded. No matter how it looks in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the Kong family, Kong Yingda is saying that the Kong family is not as good as that restaurant owner.

"Do I need some guidance from them?" Kong Yingda's expression remained unchanged, she tapped the table, and said lightly.

The young man's complexion changed.

Thinking of the deeds of my uncle when he was young - he dared to run from Qufu to Chang'an in his twenties, and then pointed at the nose of Chang'an Confucianism and scolded him, imitating Zhuge Kongming, and fighting against the top [-] Confucian scholars in Chang'an with his tongue.

These years settled down.

It makes people forget that he is actually a frivolous temper.

The young man softened his tone: "Uncle, you should also worry about the face of my Kong family."

"You are the head of a family of sages, and your every move represents the face of my Kong family and the ancestors of my Kong family."

"It just shouldn't be"

Before he finished speaking, Kong Yingda squinted his eyes and interrupted with a blunt tone: "If the ancestor is alive, he will make the same choice as me."

The young man wanted to say something more.

Kong Yingda stood up and waved his hand: "Okay, the road from Qufu to Chang'an is dangerous, you can go to rest."

The young man gritted his teeth and nodded, not daring to complain.

Although he was acting as the elder of the clan, he still didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Kong Yingda, who was very similar to his ancestors in both knowledge and physique.

Watching the young man leave, Kong Yingda sighed.

A good friend told him that he should have more contacts with that store owner, and later he also understood that it was actually a good thing for the Kong family to associate with that store owner under the guise of him.

You can't know a person just by looking at the title.

Whether it's the humble room inscription or the appointment after dusk, these external images will make people think that Yin Xuan is more like a hermit—of course, people in Chang'an now have the same impression of Yin Xuan.

Can.
After getting in touch with him, Kong Yingda could tell that Yin Xuan was not a quiet and willing to be a hermit, he was restless in his bones.

After these days of contact, he felt that he seemed to see the shadow of his ancestor in Yin Xuan.

It's not that Yin Xuan is similar to his ancestors, but that they all have the same belief - this belief is not about how rich and powerful they are, or how extremely human they are.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they don't desire these things anymore, it's just that they put these things on the back burner, and the most important thing is their greater pursuit.For example, the world is unified.

Kong Yingda suddenly remembered that when he first met Yin Xuan, after he mentioned his identity, Yin Xuan's face and expression at that time did not have any twists and turns because of the word "Kong".

Perhaps, I should ask his opinion?
Kong Yingda tidied up, got into the carriage, and went to Tongfu Restaurant.

It was just past noon and there were not many guests.

Only Li Yuan and a few people were rubbing mahjong, and a group of people around them watched eagerly. It was so greedy, and someone even asked Yin Xuan if he could make more pictures.

Yin Xuan also agreed.

Ivory carving takes a lot of work, but if it is made of bamboo, it will be much easier. Even if there are a lot of cards, it is also a labor-intensive job.

Yin Xuan recruited carpenters from Huaizhen workshop and several nearby workshops to repair the second floor, and only some apprentices were doing the work.

It will take about three or four days to save a pair.

Kong Yingda came over, looked at the scene in the restaurant, stopped at the door, stepped back, looked up at the signboard, it was indeed Tongfu Restaurant.

After walking in, he was relieved to see that the chips on the table were bamboo sticks, not copper coins.

Yin Xuan is not playing cards.

After Li Yuan waited for Wu Youdao to arrive, he pointed at Wu Youdao and uttered nonsense, saying that he wanted to avenge yesterday's death.

Wu Youdao also rolled up his sleeves, saying that a magpie pulled a lump on his head when he went out today. This is a sign of auspicious stars, and his luck today is better than yesterday.

Kong Yingda walked up to Yin Xuan and cupped his hands: "Shopkeeper, I want to ask the storekeeper for some advice."

Yin Xuan glanced at his face, sat down on the table beside him with his hands behind his back, and then waved to Kong Yingda: "Sit down, tell me what you want to ask, and I'll see if I can answer."

Kong Yingda sighed, and while sitting, he said: "The news that I often come to the restaurant these days has been known by the elders in the clan, and they advised me to stay away from the restaurant."

Yin Xuan nodded indifferently.

"But I know that it will be a blessing if the Kong family and the shopkeeper can make friends."

Except for those things that can make money, such as the method of burning cement and colored glaze, Yin Xuan never hides other knowledge.

He teaches Li Lizhi, Li Tai and the others every day, and they are also in the front hall of the restaurant. If you want to listen, you can move a stool to listen to Yin Xuan.

She even had the cheek to ask Li Lizhi and Li Shu for notes, and these two kind-hearted little girls would not refuse.

That's what Ji Wen and some scholars do.

Kong Yingda listened in the same way.He is not an idiot, it can be heard that Yin Xuan has a very mature knowledge system, a knowledge system different from any theory of Datang.

Those doctrines sound like heresy.

But Yin Xuan has already proved that they are useful, and no one can veto the fact that Suzaku Street is shining brightly there.

Establishing a sect may be a knowledge that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Confucianism and Taoism in the future. Such a person may not be able to compare with his ancestors in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, but it is not a problem to be as famous as Zou Yan, Xu Xing and other figures.

Such a person is of course worth making friends with the Kong family.

but.
Kong Yingda can see this, but other Kong family members cannot.

Yin Xuan nodded nonchalantly again, if there is no purpose in dating, then it is fake - even two people who love each other are still greedy for others, aren't they?
He was a little surprised that Kong Yingda could say it so bluntly.

"The store doesn't seem to like my Kong family very much?" Kong Yingda looked at Yin Xuan and asked such a question.

Yin Xuan nodded, very frankly: "Well, I don't like it, or it has reached a level of disgust."
