Tibet

Chapter 298
Li Xiu is in his early forties this year. He doesn't look like Li Linfu. He doesn't have the tall and fat appearance of Li Linfu. He had two elder brothers who died in infancy.

However, his son Li Yu is out-and-out the eldest grandson. Li Yu is about 1.7 years old, looks like Li Linfu, is at least [-] meters five tall, and is relatively fat. Like Li Linfu, he also has a long face. Unlike his father's pointed face.

Li Linfu still likes this eldest grandson very much. He not only sent him to study in Guozixue, but also gave him the shade. Served as a member of the Rongwang Mansion to participate in the military, and a year later he was promoted to be a minister, and served as the director of the military supervisor.

It can be said that before Li Ye appeared, Li Linfu was heartbroken for this eldest grandson, and he was promoted as fast as Jinshi and No. [-] Scholar.

But Li Linfu is still a bit regretful, the qualifications of the eldest grandson are a bit mediocre, and the various positions he holds are not outstanding, and he is mediocre. Even if he is given a chance, the chief officer will not like the report he wrote, but only for Li Linfu's face. Reluctantly adopted.

It wasn't until Li Ye was born that Li Linfu suddenly realized that his descendants still had a choice.

Li Linfu's thoughts gradually turned to Li Ye, and he didn't care much about his eldest grandson. In the past two years, Li Yu had been working as the director of the Military Weapons Supervision, and had no chance of being promoted.

The dissatisfaction in his heart slowly accumulated in the heart of the eldest son Li Xiu.

For the past two days, my father has been interviewing 38 Lang continuously. Only two days after 38 Lang came back, my father has received him three times. He even took him to court early this morning, and actually met the emperor.

Li Xiu saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He couldn't bear it anymore and decided to show his father.

"What's the matter with Yu'er?" Li Linfu asked with a gentle smile.

"Grandson is fine, I just wish grandpa well!"

Li Linfu nodded, only to realize that he hadn't paid attention to his eldest grandson for a long time, so he asked with a smile, "How's it going in the military department?"

"Fortunately, I am already familiar with the various procedures of the Military Weapons Supervision. In the initial evaluation in the first half of the year, my grandson scored in the upper middle."

Li Linfu frowned slightly. The semi-annual initial evaluation was an internal self-evaluation, which was relatively loose. The initial evaluation could not even get the upper and lower grades. When it came to the strict evaluation stage of the official department, it could only be the upper and lower grades.

"Why not go up, which one is lagging behind?"

"Reporting to my grandfather, my grandson doesn't know either. It may be that the new military supervisor is not easy to get along with."

Li Linfu said coldly: "Do you mean that the boss doesn't appreciate you and suppresses you?"

"Grandson dare not say that!"

Next to him, Li Xiu said: "Father, He Yuan, the new military supervisory officer, is a confidant appointed by Yang Guozhong. If Yu'er can be rated as an upper middle school when working under him, it shows that Yu'er is already very good."

"Don't care who other people are, the key is to do well yourself, so that others can't find faults is the right way!"

"Father, as long as you are a normal person, how can you not find faults? If you have a good relationship with your colleagues, the higher-ups will say that you are forming a gang. If you are cautious in your words and deeds, the higher-ups will say that you are timid and irresponsible. , no matter how good it is, the higher-ups won’t admit it, it’s really hard.”

"Then what do you mean? Just say it!"

Li Xiu bit her lip and said, "Father, can you let Yu'er be the county magistrate and let him go to the big county to take charge."

"County magistrate?"

Li Linfu shook his head, "I've never been an assistant official, but I'm afraid it's not in line with court rules to be the chief official directly!"

Li Xiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "At the age of 16, you can become a county prince and a fifth-rank general Ningyuan. When did you say the rules?"

Li Linfu stared at the eldest son for a while, then said coldly: "If Yu'er can lead ten soldiers to fight against thousands of rebels and save the people of a county, the emperor will also make him the county magistrate."

"Father."

"enough!"

Li Linfu interrupted the eldest son's request with a scolding, and said angrily: "I knew you were dissatisfied with 38 Lang. You always thought I was partial and gave 38 Lang a lot of resources. I also said at the clan meeting that Taiping Fang The house has nothing to do with me, it was left to 38 Lang by someone else, I didn't know it at all, but no one believed it, so I have nothing to say."

"The boy believes that the house has nothing to do with his father, it is Feilong's house."

"You actually checked it?" Li Linfu glared at his son.

Li Xiu nodded in embarrassment, "My boy also wants to make it clear to the tribe, there is no other meaning."

Li Linfu stared at his son for a while, feeling extremely disappointed in his heart, and he slowly said: "I know your request, and I will consider it, but I have something to say first, this time 38 won the official title and status by himself in the Western Regions, and it has nothing to do with me !"

Li Ye lived temporarily in his father's yard for two nights. Father Li Dai's yard covers an area of ​​about two acres. It is considered a single courtyard, but in fact it is a row of five courtyards connected together, and each of the five sons-in-law has a single courtyard.
However, the eldest son Li Xiu, the fourth son Li Min and the fifth son Li Dai all lived here. The eldest son Li Xiu had his own official residence, the fourth son Li Min was driven to his manor in Hanzhong because of betrayal of his father, and the fifth son Li Dai moved to Taipingfang. live.

In fact, only the second son Li Yu and the third son Li Ling live here, but both of them have a large population, and the entire East Courtyard is very noisy.

Li Ye soon learned from the housekeeper that he was usually very quiet, but after he moved in the day before yesterday, he suddenly became very noisy. Look, he didn't say a word. Although he didn't say a word to them, Li Ye could clearly feel the discrimination and cold violence against him everywhere.

Not worth the common knowledge of these people, Li Ye immediately asked two of his men to send the luggage to Taipingfang. It was already afternoon, and Li Ye slipped to the old house of Changlefang.

I haven't been back for more than a year, basically nothing has changed, the gate is locked, and the yard is full of weeds. The room is very clean, but there is still a moldy smell.

However, the biggest change is that Xiao Hei finally recognized the new owner and became a member of Li Xun's family, guarding the new family loyally.

Li Xun was actually at home, which really surprised Li Ye, who immediately invited him to the tavern at the entrance of the alley for a drink.

"Time flies so fast. Two years have passed in a flash. I have finished my studies and officially left Mingde College last month." Li Xun said with emotion while holding a glass of wine.

Li Ye nodded, "What is the next step, brother?"

"I have been recommended by Mingde College to go to Taixue, and I will go to Taixue to report in a few days, but I plan to study Taixue while preparing for the imperial examination. I decided to take the Mingjing examination next spring."

"How sure are you?"

Li Xun shook his head, "The first time I just went to feel the atmosphere and sum up my experience, I will go all out to take the imperial examination in the next year."

"What's your parents' attitude?"

Li Xun smiled wryly and said, "They never cared about me. My path was arranged and decided by myself. They just wanted to hear the good news and celebrate."

This is a typical child from someone else's family. He knows what he should do and never asks his parents to worry about him. He sets short-term and long-term goals for himself, and then works hard, perseveres, and achieves them step by step.

Li Ye suddenly found that Li Xun was very similar to himself, a person capable of doing great things, but unfortunately he just happened to meet his grandfather retiring from office, otherwise his grandfather would still be able to help him.

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you! Is it uncomfortable to live in the main mansion these two days?" Li Xun asked again with a smile.

Li Ye nodded, "I feel bad. I have already moved out today. Brother seems to know something? Tell me, to be honest, I am also very confused."

Li Xun filled a glass of wine for Li Ye and said with a smile: "You came back the afternoon before yesterday! Once you came back, the whole family knew about it, and they all said that the cuckoo came back again."

"My family calls me Cuckoo? What do you mean?"

"The dove occupies the magpie's nest! The doves here are cuckoos, and they often rob the magpie's nest, but only a few sons of the family said so. They spread it everywhere in the family, and some people who depended on them laughed at it, but most of the people didn't agree. .”
