Chapter 89 What did you do?
"Tang Guogong, Yuan Shuo is auspicious."
With the sound of blessings, Li Jing, Changsun Shunde and others came with them.
It turned out that an outsider broke in. No wonder his father moved so quickly. Li Shimin's eyes followed the position where Li Yuan hid the paper, guessing that the New Year's gift Wang Yu gave to his father must be something very important...
Everyone wished Li Yuan New Year's greetings, and Li Yuan prepared a red envelope for each of them for good luck.
In addition to them, every servant in Tang Guogong's mansion received a reward today.
On the first day of the New Year, the Duke of Tang's mansion was happy, festive and lively.
In the next few days, people from various mansions came to pay Li Yuan New Year greetings and hand in the list in person, hoping that their descendants could stay in the Duke's mansion to study.
Li Jing's family stayed in Tang Guogong's Mansion until the third day of the Lunar New Year, and then returned to Mayi.
Before leaving, the two brothers Li Derjian expressed their intention to stay and study, but Li Jing did not agree and took them back to Mayi.
After returning to Mayi, Li Jing followed the devil and locked himself in the study. He did not come out all day long and even ate in the study.
Seeing that the Lantern Festival has passed, Wang Yu also sent people to bring them the lanterns for the Lantern Festival. The Li Derjian brothers were itchy, but their father did not move.
In desperation, they came outside the study again.
"Brother, what do you think there is to study about Xiao Yu'er's Tai Chi Lock? How could Aye study it so long without sleep and food?" Li Dejiang thought about it for more than ten days, but still couldn't figure it out.
These days, they tried all the tricks they could, but Aniang refused, and Aye simply ignored them.
Li Derjian didn't know what his father was thinking, so he only said: "I guess the day of Aye's rejuvenation has arrived early. He can't take his eyes away from the fun toys."
Li Dejiang was even more confused. Two days ago, Wang Yu made a batch of simple Kongming locks and gave them to children in various prefectures, including Tai Chi locks.
The Li family also got a few. It was not difficult to solve the Tai Chi lock. Li Dejiao was very smart and solved it in no time.
But because he unlocked it so easily, he didn't understand what his father was studying for such a simple Tai Chi lock.
"Oh, this is not important. What is important is that we must go to the Duke of Tang's Mansion to study."
After Li Derjian finished speaking, he climbed up the steps and knocked gently on the door twice.
Yes, this is the important thing, Li Dejiang quickly followed.
"Aye."
Li Derjian called out from outside the door.
After a while, a voice came from inside: "Come in."
Li Derjian pushed the door open and saw Li Jing sitting behind the desk, holding a book in his hand, seemingly reading with gusto.
He calmly glanced around the study. Everything seemed normal.
Although he knew he would be rejected, Li Derjian still wanted to struggle: "Ah, we want to go to the Duke of Tang's Mansion to study."
"good."
Li Jing agreed so quickly that the two brothers couldn't believe their ears and wondered whether they were hearing hallucinations.
"Aye, what did you...just say?" Li Derjian hesitated: "Can you say it again?"
Li Jing put down the book and said calmly: "I mean I agree with you going to study in Tang Guogong's Mansion..."
"Very good."
The two brothers cheered, fist-bumped and jumped up excitedly.
"Don't be too happy, I have requirements."
The two brothers immediately fell down, knowing that their father was not so easy to deal with.
Li Jing was amused in his heart, but his face was full of his father's majesty: "It's okay for you to go to the Tang Guogong Mansion to study, but the homework assigned by the teacher must be completed on time and taken seriously.
"If the homework is below B grade, then you should just pack up and come back."
The faces of the two brothers turned pale in an instant. Do they need to achieve a second grade in their homework? Or are they judged by many famous teachers? It's so difficult...
They were only at the bottom of the academy in Mayi. When they arrived at the Duke's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty where famous teachers gathered, there were also a group of powerful children and students from aristocratic families. How could they compete?
For them, getting a second-class rank is beyond the reach of heaven. It’s too difficult...
"good."
Li Dejiang was still worried, but Li Derjian had already agreed.
The homework is for later, go ahead and talk about it later, there will always be a way to get through it.
Li Jing saw through his little thoughts and said coolly: "I heard that the gentleman in the Duke of Tang Dynasty is selfless. You can put away the little tricks you used in Mayi to avoid embarrassment.
"Every seven days I will send someone to Tang Guogong's mansion to inquire about your current situation. If you are too naughty, I will personally pick you up and take you home.
"After all, it is the school of the Duke of Tang Dynasty. You cannot be allowed to affect other students' studies."
The two brothers, their faces as pale as snow, looked at each other and began to make eye contact.
"Brother, studying is hard, and homework is even harder. Do we really want to go?"
"Go, as long as you can stay away from the two big demons and stay away from the devil's cave, no matter how big the difficulty is, it won't be a difficulty."
In the eyes of each other encouraging each other, the two brothers raised their heads and said solemnly: "Okay, we can definitely do it."
"In that case, please wait a few days and I will send the list to the Duke of Tang's Mansion later." Li Jing waved for them to leave.
The two brothers resigned happily and walked out of the study with brisk steps.
After they left, Li Jing sent someone to send the list to the Duke of Tang's Mansion.
Li Yuan was a little confused when he looked at the list on the desk. Remembering Li Jing's resolute attitude when he left, he thought that Li Jing would not send his son to the Duke of Tang's mansion.
He thought for a while, then moved his eyes to Wang Yu who was eating fruits and melons happily, and hesitantly said: "Xiao Yu'er, did you do something?"
Wang Yu turned his head and gave him a big smile: "I didn't do anything, but Li Jing definitely didn't study that Bagua array."
What does sending your son to study have to do with the Bagua array?
Li Yuan suddenly opened his mouth, as if he had thought of something, and said in surprise: "Xiao Yu'er, do you know the Bagua array?"
Wang Yu chewed for a moment, then swallowed the puree in his mouth, and said slowly: "I don't know how. I just saw it in a book and was curious.
"Then, when I saw Tai Chi Suo that day, I casually said that."
She spread her hands and curled her lips and said, "I didn't expect that Li Jing would take it seriously."
Her meaningless attitude of "just making a joke but others took it seriously" left Li Yuan speechless.
But no matter what, after he failed to win over Li Jing, he was able to keep Li Jing's two sons in the Duke of Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as progress. The following things can be planned slowly.
Li Yuan's reply quickly arrived at Li Mansion in Mayi, and he sent someone to pick up Li Derjian brother. Such special treatment made Li Jingcheng fearful and uneasy.
I heard that the young ladies and young men in other palaces were sent by their parents, but the only ones that the Duke of Tang Dynasty sent someone to pick up were the Li Derjian brothers.
Li Derjian didn't think much about it. He only knew that he was leaving home. He was as happy as a bird flying out of the cage. He picked up his luggage and jumped on the carriage.
With Li Jing's official position and financial resources, he was not qualified to ride in a carriage. Therefore, it was the first time for brother Li Derjian to ride in a carriage, not to mention how excited he was.
Look here, touch there, everything you see is very novel.
Li Jing looked at them with a smile, and before the carriage set off, he gave Li Derjian one final instruction: "Dalang, don't forget what my father told you last night."
