Chapter 262 Returning to Beijing to Debrief
In Chang'an, Li Linfu returned to the mansion at dusk as usual. As soon as he entered the mansion gate, the butler stepped forward and saluted, "Master Xiang, Wulang is back!"

Li Linfu laughed and said, "Let him come to the study to meet me!"

Wulang is Li Ye's father, Li Dai, who is currently serving as the governor of Runzhou. This time he is returning to Beijing to report on his duties.

Hearing that his father was back, Li Dai hurried to his father's study, and seeing his old father's skinny bones, Li Dai felt sour, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I will see my father!"

Li Linfu hadn't seen this son for more than a year, and saw that his demeanor became more calm and calm, his eyes were deep and wise, and the cowardly look of the previous few years had completely disappeared.

Li Linfu seemed to see his son 20 years ago again, the son he loved and valued the most.

Li Linfu was really relieved, and secretly sighed that marrying a good wife has such a great effect, completely changing his temperament.

"Sit down!"

Li Dai sat down opposite his father, and Li Linfu asked with a smile, "When did you come back?"

"Report to father, I came back this morning."

"Still living in Taipingfang?"

Li Dai said apologetically, "San Niang also came back with the baby."

Li Linfu smiled and waved his hands, "You don't need to apologize. My father fully understands and supports you for wanting to become an independent mansion. Your elder brother also established an independent mansion outside. I didn't blame him. Being able to start a mansion independently means that you are promising." gone."

"My boy, I'm ashamed, Ye'er earned that house."

"Hehe! You are only a son, and he is a father. It is only natural for a son to earn money and spend it with me!"

At this time, the maid came in to serve tea. Li Linfu took a sip of the tea and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast. It has been more than a year since you took office in Runzhou!"

"Haier has been in office for more than a year and a half since he took office in October last year."

"How is it? How about being an official? Is it smooth to be the governor?" Li Linfu asked again with a smile.

"It was a bit difficult at the beginning, but since Wu Changshi was transferred at the beginning of last year, everything went smoothly. The newcomer Xie Changshi paid great attention to the division of powers, and the officialdom cooperated very well."

Li Linfu nodded, "It seems that you are mature. The tacit understanding in the officialdom is the most important thing. Everyone performs their duties, seeks their own policies, and each other's interests do not interfere with each other. This is a tacit understanding, but remember, you are the master." Officials, small powers can be released, but big things can't be confused."

"Father's teachings, children will remember them in their hearts!"

Li Linfu sighed again: "I have thought it through now. If Yang Guozhong wants power, I will give it to him. I will not fight with him. I am also 70 years old. My health is getting worse every day. Being angry all day is not good for my health, nor is it good for me. significance."

"What's the attitude of the Son of Heaven?" Li Dai asked cautiously again.

"It's funny to say, now that I'm a shopkeeper, the emperor thinks highly of me, and I discuss many important matters with me. Last month, I proposed to retire from office and go home for the elderly, but the emperor refused to agree, that is Ye Er The words that I said, sometimes take a step back, but the sea and the sky will be brighter."

"Father is wise!"

Li Dai was silent for a moment and asked again: "Is there any news about Ye'er?"

Li Linfu nodded, "Gao Xianzhi came back a few days ago, brought back a letter from Ye'er's family, and told me about his situation in Anxi. Gao Xianzhi appointed him as the envoy of Suiye soldiers and horses, preparing to compete with the Dashi Dynasty for Hezhong.

Even the emperor publicly called him Huo Qubing of the Tang Dynasty. You must know that the emperor will not boast about others casually, and he will think carefully about every word. "

"Ah! He's been serving as Suiye's envoy, won't he be able to come back for several years?"

"It won't be too long, maybe a year or two at most!"

Li Linfu said indifferently: "Besides, you are not in the capital, and you will not be able to see him when he comes back. I think you should make a good contribution in Anxi while you are young."

"It's just that his mother misses her son very much."

"That's right! I'm only 16 years old, and I lead an army thousands of miles away. I, Li Linfu, have such a grandson, and I can rest in peace."

After a pause, Li Linfu smiled again and said, "Go back and tell your wife that I wrote a letter to Gao Xianzhi to arrange Ye'er's appointment as Suiye's envoy. This is for Ye'er's future, although your flesh and blood will be separated It will take a while, but it will be worth it."

His father lacked energy, so Li Dai didn't bother his father too much, and briefly reported the situation in Runzhou, then got up and left.

He returned to the Taipingfang mansion in a carriage, and when he returned to the back house, his wife Pei Sanniang came forward and said to her husband with a mysterious expression: "Husband, I discovered a secret!"

"What secret?"

"You come with me!"

Pei Sanniang took her husband's hand into her son's room, pointed to the study and said, "Did you notice that the study is small, but the outside is huge."

Li Dai was slightly startled and said, "You mean, there is a secret room inside?"

Pei Sanniang patted the wall, "There is another room inside, but where is the door?"

Li Dai pondered for a while and said, "This house was given to Ye'er by Feilong. This should be Feilong's secret room."

Pei Sanniang's eyes sparkled and she said: "Tell me, is there a large amount of wealth hidden here, such as gold and jewelry?"

Li Dai laughed dumbly and said: "My lady, we are not short of money, so we don't need it."

"Bullshit!"

Pei Sanniang interrupted him, staring at her almond-shaped eyes, "If it wasn't for my old background, with your little salary, you would be able to do nothing? Now that the old bottom has been used up half of it, can I not be in a hurry?"

"The main reason is that you bought a small house in Hangzhou, and that one is the big one."

"Yes! Yes! Let's talk about the house again. Who gave the salaries of your two staff?"

Li Dai hurriedly laughed and said, "It's my fault, lady, calm down! Calm down!"

In front of Pei Sanniang, Li Dai is still strict with his wife, but Pei Sanniang is strict with him, and controls him on the good side. For example, he is determined not to accept bribes, and he is required to love the people like a son. This has cultivated his husband's integrity and integrity good reputation.

But Li Dai's ex-wife Yu Wenluo strictly controlled him, controlling him from the evil side, trampling him to death, and almost destroying Li Dai.

Li Dai thought of something, and took out an envelope and handed it to his wife, "My father gave it to me. It was Ye'er who asked him to pass it to us. I didn't see what was inside?"

Pei Sanniang's heart was pounding, she was very familiar with this envelope, Gao Lishi's envelope!She quickly opened the envelope, immediately ecstatic, [-] guan, she has money again, Li Dai was also so happy from ear to ear, [-] guan!

Pei Sanniang's face suddenly sank, and she said solemnly to her husband, "We can't spend this money indiscriminately, we have to save it for Ye'er to marry a wife!"

At this moment, Aunt Mu appeared at the door and said, "Ye'er earned this money for you to spend. He has so much money that you can't even imagine it!"

"Ma'am, what are you talking about?"

Aunt Mu walked forward slowly, pointed to the wall and said, "Before leaving the year before last, Ye'er told me that there is a secret room inside, and there is a lot of wealth left to him by Feilong in it, tens of thousands of taels of gold alone. .”

Pei Sanniang opened her mouth wide in surprise, she was really dissatisfied and said: "I am his wife, why didn't he tell me such an important matter?"

"You talk too fast, he is afraid that you will speak out."

"Where am I talking fast, I have always spoken in a very measured way, okay?"

"Xie Changshi's wife knows that Fei Sha is Ye'er, are you still talking fast?"

"Please stop arguing and listen to me!"

Li Dai interrupted the argument between the two, and said with a serious face: "This is a big secret. Only the three of us know it. We must never tell it, not even my father, otherwise Ye'er will be killed."

Pei Sanniang's complexion changed and she nodded repeatedly. Although she was quick-talking and liked to show off her son in front of other officials' wives, she was not ambiguous at all when it came to her son's life.

Pei Sanniang remembered something again, and quickly asked, "My husband went to see my father just now, did my father mention Ye'er?"

"Yes, I've said a lot, hey, our son is really not easy! He has been turbulent in Anxi, and has made outstanding achievements repeatedly. Even the emperor praised him as Huo Qubing of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Bullshit!"

Pei Sanniang said with a pretty face, "Huo Qubing died at a young age, is the emperor cursing my son?"
