Cited too often

Ju said in such a cold and disappointed tone: You are always like this.

At first he would ask Li Ju with a smile, why did he force him to say the word "believe" knowing this, but then he got tired and didn't want to ask any more.

Probably because he had just accepted Cui Xu as a student according to Li Ju's wishes, or for some other reason, he suddenly wanted to ask again, so he opened his mouth and said: "Actually, I am eight years older than the sage, and he is not healthy. , presumably he wants to walk ahead of the sage. It is useless for the sage to think too much, why not think about Cui Jingguang's official career, so as to teach him to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future."

"At the beginning, the first emperor favored Yang Wensu, but now you are the one who is Bing Guojun. So who knows what will happen in the future?" Li Jue did not react as Xie Xun expected, accepted the sneer just now, and turned to calmly say, " Don't think about it any more, and talk about it later, I won't take you down the tower."

Xie Xun was startled, then he saw Li Jue's hand had untied his belt, and he leaned on his neck and said sullenly: "Just now Xie Lang deliberately made me angry, but I have to apologize to me."

"What does the sage want?" Xie Xun laughed out loud, and the thought just disappeared, "Could it be that he wants to do Zhou Gong's work in front of the stupa."

While talking, he blocked Li Ju's hand: "If the crown prince comes down, will the saint not care?"

Li Jue thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Guanyin slave is in the Chu Palace, so he can't come."

[Thirty-two] Making mud balls in the mud

Cui Xufang taught Xiao Shao to send him back to Zhu Juzi's place, and all the people immediately surrounded him, thinking that they knew about Cai just now, they congratulated him all the time.After Xiao Shao took his gift and left with a smile on his face, he drank the wine handed over by seven or eight people in a row, and finally he was overwhelmed with alcohol and said: "I really can't drink anymore."

"Cui Er really can't do it anymore, you can tell just by looking at his face." Su Jiao stopped the rest of the wine, and then said to Cui Xubai with a smile, "Just now when you went, there was a lady who was about the same age as Mrs. Xiao Came to look for you, claiming to be the servant girl of His Royal Highness Chu’s family, do you know?”

Cui Xu immediately knew that the lady Su Jiao was talking about was Yan Yan from Li Yang's house, so he nodded and said, "Where is that lady at this time?"

Before Su Jiao could respond, a laughing voice sounded like broken jade from behind Cui Xu: "Mr. Cui Erlang, His Highness King Chu is here to invite you."

It really was Yan Yan.

Seeing this, Su Jiao smiled but said, "Cui Erlang has His Royal Highness the King of Chu to protect you from the wine, so it's better to have extra meals."

Cui Xu said apologetically: "I came out with Brother Su, I'm really sorry, I will definitely invite Brother Su to have a drink together in the future."

Seeing that he was serious, Su Jiao smiled slightly, but stopped talking, and only urged him: "Go quickly. There is no reason to teach His Highness the King of Chu to wait, but it is a certain crime."

Cui Xu bowed again, and then followed Yan Yan.

After Linghu Xiao saw him go, he smiled at Su Jiao and said, "Jing Guang is grateful for Sikong's blue eyes and His Royal Highness the King of Chu's affection. Afterwards, the sky will rise straight up, and it will be a dream. Brother Su has been with him for many days." , can you tell us about Jing Guang's temper?"

For a while, everyone agreed, and another [-]-something-year-old Jinshi said: "That's true, but someone heard that Xie Sikong was a very good friend when he was young. It is the same as a person. It can be seen that people in this world are not always the same - it will take seven years to try jade."

Su Jiao glanced at that person indifferently, turned his head and smiled at the rest of the people: "Jing Guang is the most kind and gentle person. If not, why would His Highness the King of Chu value him so much? Besides, Jing Guang has shade. Multiplication is a thousand times better than ours."

Linghu Xiao also didn't like that person's narrow-mindedness just now, so he ignored him, and only followed Su Jiao's words: "Brother Su is very right. If we people only share the cheese here, we will lose money in the future." It may not be possible to get the hem of Jingguang's clothes."

The man's face flushed red, and he left with shame on his face.

At this time, Meng Wanfang, the second place in the list, arrived late.Meng Wan was from the same town as that person, she didn't understand the reason, she asked other people to find out, she didn't like Linghu Xiao and Su Jiao's frankness.But he was tactful by nature and refused to point it out in person, so he smiled and said: "A certain family is poor, unlike Brother Linghu who inherited the shadow of his father's generation. Although his uncle passed away early, he was married to the princess. How do you know people like us?" What about pain?"

Seeing this, Linghu Xiao sneered, and said with a smile: "I dare not say that I am married to the princess. The eldest princess of Xiguo disdains her uncle's nature, and what she did later can be said to be consistent with her words and deeds. Wouldn't it be better than dry but just painting meat?" Much better to draw bones."

These words were already very rude, but Meng Wan was not annoyed, she still smiled and said: "Brother Linghu is right. Until now, I still remember what Duke Xuan Wei said when he selected Xie Sikong to join him."

Meng Wan is over fifty now, and there are some young people around who naturally have never heard what Xuan Yi said that day, and there are some whisperers for a while.Suddenly one person came out more and more, and smiled coldly: "Since Brother Meng remembers grandfather's words, do you still remember what Xie Sikong did later? Now that the family is in decline, it's not enough for people to make fun of it at will."

The man's voice was very young, and he was taciturn during the banquet, and most of the people did not recognize him.Linghu Xiao looked at it, raised his eyebrows and smiled, took his hand and said to Meng Wan: "Zijun is used to this, Brother Meng, don't take it to heart. He is the eldest grandson of Duke Xuan Wei, named Xuan Su."

Xuan Su didn't say a word at first, but Linghu Xiao secretly pulled the corner of his clothes, and finally eased his brows and eyes, and bowed to Meng Wan as an apology.Meng Wan also went down the stairs, and everyone rejoined the table, talking and laughing again.

Cui Xu taught Yan Yan to take him to the other side of the Qujiang River. As soon as he got there, he heard Li Yang laughing and saying, "How about it, I didn't lie to you."

He was startled, and immediately there was a jubilant boy's voice: "Uncle Wang is the one who loves orphans the most."

It was the Crown Prince Li Fang.

Li Fang's crown prince was conferred three years ago, and since then Li Fang has had few sons.The concubine gave birth to two sons, all of whom died in infancy. Only the daughter of the empress Xie Cisheng was considered healthy. Li Jue named her Lingfei, and the title Qinghe.He lost his mother when he was young, and was brought up at Xie Ci's knee, but he was not close to Li Lingxi, but preferred to be with Anping Princess Li Guo'er as company.Now that he has moved to at least Yangyuan, he doesn't even see Li Guo'er much.

When he was young, he was very willing to go out of the palace to meet Li Yang. He occasionally saw Cui Xu, and he would remember him in his heart. When he saw him today, he immediately stepped forward and hugged Cui Xu's waist, and said with a smile: "Jing Guang is wonderful." Don't ignore Gu anymore. Gu heard that you won the No. [-] Scholar Examination, so I begged Father to make you Gu's attendant."

Cui Xu couldn't refuse, so he had to let Li Fang hug him, and said with a wry smile, "How dare I ignore His Highness the Crown Prince? It's too unfair to teach His Highness the Crown Prince to memorize until now just because of exam preparation."

Li Fang grew up fast, and the 13-year-old boy had already reached Cui Xu's shoulders, but he didn't let go when he heard the words, and said in a muffled voice, "I never wronged Jing Guang, and I saw Jing Guang making friends with Uncle Chu that day! "

Li Yang on the side was born with a naked appearance, and Qingtian Jiaohan was even more gentle towards Li Fang. He only smiled slightly, bent over to coax him and said, "Guanyin slave is so lonely. You don't often go out of the palace, so naturally you listen to everything." Come on, this is the disadvantage of the blind man feeling the elephant."

Only then did Li Fang let go of Cui Xu's hand, looking back and wondering, "What kind of blind man feels an elephant?"

"This is the ability of the "Mahaparinirvana Sutra." Li Yang said gently, "The original text is like this: At that time, the king called all the blind people to ask each other: 'Have you seen the elephant?' All the blind people said to each other: "I have seen it." The king said: "What kind of elephant is it?" When it touches its teeth, it says that the shape is like a reed root; when it touches its ears, it says it looks like a dustpan; when it touches its head, it says it looks like a stone; It speaks like a pestle, what touches the feet speaks like a mortar, what touches the spine speaks like a bed, what touches the belly speaks like an urn, and what touches the tail speaks like a rope."

Li Fang finally understood after listening to Li Yang's reading, so he turned his face away and said, "Uncle Chu is laughing and doesn't read, so he doesn't know this allusion?"

Li Yang didn't argue, and said with a smile: "If Guanyinnu thinks Gu is such a person, then let it be."

When Li Fang came, he had already dismissed Cui Xueheng who was following him, but now he was thinking about it.If Cui Xueheng were here, he would not be so embarrassed.Thinking of this, Li Fang bit his lip, and was about to say something, but Cui Xu who was on the side stopped him.

"His Royal Highness is thin-skinned. Doesn't His Royal Highness Chu know that?" Cui Xu smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is too. This is worth serious attention. There are many more important matters than this. Do you want to worry about it one by one?"

Li Fang bowed his head in silence for a moment, looked up and smiled at him, "Jing Guang said yes. But Gu didn't care about Chu Wangshu, and Chu Wangshu never took Gu's face. Jing Guang and Chu Wangshu have known each other for a long time. , don’t you know that Chu Wangshu is the most docile person—Gu is not a stingy person.”

Li Yang taught him to make him laugh out loud, stepped forward and said: "Guanyin Nu just put on the high-winged hat for Gu. You just taught Lady Cui to leave, how do you go back to the palace?"

"Xueheng said that father asked Su Yan to tell her that he and Xie Sikong went to Ci'en Temple." Li Fang didn't care very much. Sikong has accepted Jing Guang as a student, so I have no congratulations."

Li Yang knew that Li Fang didn't like Xie Xun's uncle very much. Seeing that Cui Xu didn't understand, he pulled Li Fang to Cui Xu and said, "Avalokitesvara just said to go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to see Jinshi's name. Let's go with him. After reading it, we will send it off." He gave to the saints."

Cui Xu has nothing to do.

Seeing this, Li Fang sneered slightly, because Li Yang and Cui Xu wanted to leave, so he didn't object, he just took Li Yang's hand intimately and said: "Uncle Chu often comes to the palace to see Gu, daddy picked him." The lectures of the crown prince and the grand master are really boring, and the grand master dare not rest assured to teach lonely martial arts, for fear of hurting a little bit, and there is no way to explain it to my father."

While talking, the three of them got into the car, Li Yang pulled Li Fang to sit with him, and after taking the seat, he said softly: "Don't you like to be with me?"
