"Xiao Lizi, I see you are so distracted, what are you thinking about?" Lu Bu looked at Li Su in the motorcade and asked.
"I'm just feeling a little emotional..." Li Su smiled lightly.
"Tell me about it?" Lu Bu immediately became interested.
"It's nothing, I just think that there are all kinds of good things in this world, but I can't help but feel envious when I think about the power of waving my hand to crush millions of people to pieces. I think that maybe that is what a man should pursue..." Li
Su spoke slowly, but his thoughts slowly drifted away.
"If not, why don't you come back with us?" Lu Bu suggested with a smile.
"Forget it!" Li Su came to his senses immediately, "I would rather hold on to all this beauty than pursue a goal where I don't know where the limit is."
"That's such a pity." Lu Bu smiled faintly.
"Let's not talk about that. Jiuyuan is here. Let's take a look at Jiuyuan City, which I have been running for several years!" Li Su said proudly.
"Let me give you a review!" Lu Bu laughed loudly and got out of the car.
In the end, the group was unable to overcome Li Su's kindness and entered his house to live. The land in Jiuyuan is vast, so the per capita housing area is still very large, not to mention Li Su, who is the county guard. The county guard's house is completely
Medium park level.
"Master, you are back..." Not long after, a beautiful woman walked out surrounded by servants.
"Well, I'm back. These are our distinguished guests. Please go ahead and entertain them." Li Su stepped forward and asked.
"Yes!" The beautiful woman nodded, her expression full of respect.
After Li Su finished his instructions, he personally led the group to the guest room. His move naturally made his family understand that this group of guests seemed to be really distinguished guests.
"Little Plum, you are so capable!" Lu Bu stepped forward and teased on the way.
"What are you envious of? As for my sister-in-law's beauty, my yellow-faced woman is only eight blocks away." Li Su said embarrassedly.
After thinking about it, I said with some emotion: "She was a woman kidnapped by Xianbei. When I first came here, I encountered those beasts. After killing them, I rescued her. As a result, she had nowhere to go, so she
She was kept at home, and I developed feelings for her without knowing it, and became married to her."
"I see, my sister's situation is quite pitiful." Gongsun Ying interjected from the side.
Naturally, Li Su would not blame Gongsun Ying for interrupting, but just smiled lightly: "The Hu people are barbaric and backward, and they only plunder when they are not producing. This kind of thing is not a rare thing at the border every year. It happens a lot. The people on the border have already
Just get used to it.”
Then he looked at Xie Xin and said with some respect: "Thanks to Master Xie, he used his great power to kill so many barbarians. This place has become much more peaceful in the past few years.
Although there is no way to stop small-scale grazing in the valley, large-scale marches no longer occur. It is much easier to clean up those scattered small troops."
"As a Chinese citizen, it is natural and right to kill the invading enemies. There is no need to thank you." Xie Xin smiled lightly.
"Haha, since Mr. Xie doesn't intend to take credit, I won't say anything anymore. If I say anything else, it will be a crime. Jiuyuan City is not a luxurious place. Although the shabby house is dilapidated, it can still shelter from wind and rain. I just want to thank Mr. Zhang.
Just don’t mind the door." Li Su said with a smile and opened the door to the guest room for Xie Xin.
The decoration inside is indeed not as good as those of luxury homes, but the furnishings are quite exquisite, and the sanitary conditions are very good. In many small and medium-sized aristocratic homes, the master room has similar specifications.
"Tch, it's just like before, he still loves to pretend." Lu Bu curled his lips.
"What does it mean to pretend?" Li Su was puzzled, but it was not a good word.
"Showing off!" Lu Bu said casually.
"This...hehe..." Li Su also felt a little embarrassed.
"It's nice here. Governor Li is so polite." Xie Xin nodded and said with satisfaction.
"As long as you like it, Li will hold a banquet tonight, and I hope that the head Xie will not hesitate to show his favor!" Li Su said proudly.
"That's okay, but in terms of materials, use these..." Xie Xin thought for a while and put out the materials.
"Although the Li Mansion is not a well-established family, the ingredients for cooking are..." Li Sugang wanted to say a few words.
"That's not what I mean. It's just that for cultivators like us, the ordinary wine and food in the world are not suitable for eating." Xie Xin knew that he had misunderstood, so he explained to him.
"Then these are..." Li Su was excited.
"It's nothing, they are just spiritual materials cultivated by the disciples in the sect. They are not of great benefit to cultivation, that is, they will not ingest poisons and affect their life span." Xie Xin said with a smile.
After a second thought, he said with a smile: "For ordinary people, it is somewhat beneficial."
"In this case, Li will order his subordinates to handle these materials!" Li Su said immediately with a smile.
Not long after, all the materials were moved down. Li Su also specially called his tribe's butler and asked him to supervise the cook's handling of these materials. He told him that except for these materials, no other materials were allowed to be used to make meals tonight.
.
The housekeeper didn't understand why the master valued those materials so much, but seeing that he valued them so much, he naturally didn't dare to neglect them, and patted his chest to express that he would complete the task.
Xie Xin and the others rested for the time being. Li Su was worried that the housekeeper was not smart, so he immediately ran to the kitchen to supervise the cooks in cooking.
About two hours later, the maid opened the guest room and informed Xie Xin and others to go to the banquet.
Lu Bu casually asked where Li Su had gone.
The maid replied respectfully: The master of the house had his face and clothes blackened by fireworks when he was supervising the kitchen. Now he is taking a shower and changing clothes.
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
At the banquet, the beautiful woman was originally going to dine in a side hall with Gongsun Ying and others. However, under Xie Xin's instruction and Li Su's permission, everyone ate together in the hall.
I am even more curious in my heart, who is this young master who can make my husband so respectful and even humble?
"Daddy!" Just as everyone was about to sit down, an eight or nine-year-old child ran out.
"Jing'er is back?" Li Su saw the child, stepped forward to pick it up, and asked affectionately.
"Well! I'll be back when I finish my homework!" the child said with a smile.
Li Su said a few more words to him, then brought him to everyone and introduced him: "This is my second son Li Jing, who is currently attending classes at Prairie Academy!"
"Second son?" Xie Ying was a little curious.
"Speaking of which, where is Li Kui and your first wife?" Lu Bu also remembered, wasn't this person married a long time ago?
"They all live in Yongzhou, and their lives are pretty good now." Li Su did not hide it.
As for the reason for this arrangement, everyone knows more or less.
He probably felt that Jiuyuan was too close to the barbarian residential area. If they went south, without support from the Central Plains, Jiuyuan City might fall at any time. Under such circumstances, he, the governor, and his family could only
I'm afraid they won't be spared.
For this reason, leaving some blood in Yongzhou can be regarded as an insurance measure.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. The food will get cold if we keep talking. Let's all eat!" Li Su immediately changed the subject.
"Yes, food should be eaten while it's hot to be delicious." Xie Xin agreed.
So, everyone sat down one after another. Of course, according to the rules, they were divided into two sides, and the food was distributed according to portions. Dining around the Eight Immortals Table did not exist in this era, and there was no intention to popularize letters of thanks.
"It's delicious! Has the chef changed at home?" Li Jing asked in surprise after just two bites.
"It's not that something happened, it's that the ingredients have been changed. The ingredients tonight are all provided by... the dean." Li Su originally wanted to say thank you to the headmaster, but as soon as he said it, he felt it was not appropriate, so he changed it to
Dean.
"Husband, Dean Xie and the others are all guests, why are you so embarrassed..." The beautiful woman couldn't help but said angrily.
"Dean Xie and the others are extraordinary people, and their food is different from ordinary people. The materials they provide are not available to us even if we want to buy them! Well, eat more, it will be good for your health." Li Su smiled bitterly.
Speaking of.
After listening to his words, the beautiful woman couldn't say anything, so she had to taste it slowly.
After the meal, Li Jing came to Xie Xin and asked: "Father said you are a dean. I wonder which academy you are from?"
"Oh, how did you know that I am the dean of the academy, not the dean of the brothel, or the dean of the institute?" Xie Xin asked with a smile.
"You don't feel that vulgar, and you don't look like researchers, because as long as they have research projects, they basically won't leave the laboratory." Li Jing answered this question clearly.
"It's interesting." Seeing how clear his thoughts were, Xie Xin became a little more interested.
"Speaking of which, dad is also the dean! He founded the Jiuyuan City Prairie Academy!" Li Jing said with a smile.
"Oh?" Xie Xin looked at Li Su.
"No matter how poor you are, you can't afford education? If we can make all the Hu people Chinese-speaking through education, then my popularity in China will be improved. Besides, Jiuyuan is bitterly cold and few people are willing to come here to take office..." Li Su didn't
Said politely.
Everyone understands that it turns out that Prairie Academy is the talent training base of Wuyuan County.
This is fine, as long as there are still students in the academy, Wuyuan County will not be short of enough officials. And because they are all Li Su's disciples, they can rest assured about their loyalty.
Li Su suddenly remembered something and said flatteringly: "Speaking of which, Prairie Academy is not a good academy after all, and there are very few things that can educate.
So, can Dean Xie give Li some face and accept Jing'er as his disciple? Of course, it would be best if we could hold lectures at Prairie Academy for a few days."
"Okay, starting tomorrow, I will give lectures there for three days. As for Mr. Ling, after I finish the lecture, if he has good qualifications and is willing to go to Nanyang with me, just take him back.
." Xie Xin replied after thinking for a while.
"So, Li thanked the dean!" Li Su came to Xie Xin and bowed respectfully.
