Pastoral Chronicle of the Talented Talent
Chapter 85
After a tea ceremony, the atmosphere in the clan became much more active, as if they were chatting about family affairs. Li Zundao, headed by Li Zundao, asked about Li Min's success in the future examinations, like the kindest parent. Suggestion, also pointing out that Li Min can go in the special training place in the imperial capital, and practice good strength and martial arts. In the future, the number one scholar and the first place, His Majesty will try martial arts in person, and it will definitely not be inferior to other candidates.
The friendly atmosphere made Li Qifu think at the beginning that there might be an accident that his tribe would attack Li Min, but it all disappeared. Just when Li Qifu felt that Li Min had gradually been accepted by everyone, and even connected to talk about repairing the embankment, everyone agreed. Unanimously agreed, but—
"The building of the dike is the responsibility of the imperial court. What does it have to do with my Li clan, what does it have to do with me, Li Mu? I don't agree to build the dike!"
Li Mu, who had been silent in the corner, had cold eyes and a cold face, and was the first to raise his hand to object!
"Yes. Although the natural river often drowns people, it only floods the fields a few more times during the flood season, and there are no people who drown in the fields! Why should we, Mrs. Li, meddle in such nosy business? The county master wants to repair it. Di, you can ask the imperial court for instructions, what should we do?" Li Dehan frowned with two gray eyebrows, shaking his head disapprovingly.
He and the patriarch Li Qifu did not have five uniforms, and they are related by blood.Li Shi also wrinkled his cloudy old eyes, looked at the young man who was as clear as the morning dew, and shook his head with disapproval, "Li Min, I heard that you are not in good health. Why do you want to build a river embankment! People can't be so aggressive. If you fall ill, what will your younger siblings do? You are so brave, although it is in line with the usual style of young people, but you must cherish it. Don't ruin your own life at such a young age..."
Because Li Min is from a foreign branch, although his surname is Li, he is a member of the Li clan who is far away from them in the entire clan. Li Min's grandfather Li Yuan is just a brother. After Li Xin's death, Li Mu was the only one supported by the Li family, who knew that Li Mu was from the Feng family, and the people from the Feng family were quite jealous of the boss Li Xin's family, especially Li Mu. Li Xin was very prosperous, but he was only willing to let Li Mu work as a manager in a shop outside, so he became even more jealous, so he took advantage of Li Xin's death and took away all the property and various names from Li Xin's family. Brother Min is even weaker. Even so, there is no one in the Li clan who stands out. It is because Li Yuan is not related to the Li clan.
Before the word of approval was spoken, some relatives and elders objected.
Embarrassment appeared on Li Qifu's face, he raised his eyes and glanced at Li Min who was standing in the center of the hall, there seemed to be a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Li Min stood on the spot like a breeze, with no other expression on his face, he just looked at the two elders who had finished speaking, nodded slightly, the meaning was clear, he had received the meaning of these two people, and continued When he came down, he looked at the others, and raised his brows, obviously looking at who else had to speak, and he listened to them all.
This appearance of receiving the move with all his strength but not fighting back made everyone feel a little puzzled. Everyone didn't know who this kid's arrogant temper came from, and what was so arrogant about his thin boy.
At this moment, Li Yufeng's masseter muscles on his side cheeks tightened, and there was a trace of gnashing of hatred in his fierce eyes.Seeing such gazes, Li Min felt a little unbelievable. This was the second time he and Li Yufeng had met, and the two of them couldn't have met each other. Why did he hate himself so much?
Then the head of the room, Li Xiuren, cleared his throat, which attracted everyone's eyes glued to Li Min, and came to him. He said in a calm and old voice, "In fact, repairing the embankment is a good thing, but it's just not necessary." So impatient, now it’s almost winter, and thick ice is about to form, who will send manpower to repair the river embankment in the cold weather, in my opinion, let’s push this in advance. Dalang, what do you think? !"
Such words are already quite warm, much more amiable than the previous two speeches, but Li Min knows that these words are just echoing the previous two words, in the final analysis, they are a strong support and protection for them , there is no other meaning!
Li Min looked around the room and saw that no one had anything to add, so he walked up to Li Zundao and asked in a clear voice, "Uncle Zundao is an official of the imperial court, you can agree with them, do you think this dike is To repair or not to repair?"
His question was quite mysterious. Li Zundao is a man of high rank. If he obstructs the embankment construction, he is obviously the same as the people in the clan in the field. He has to ask the court for money before he is willing to build the embankment. This kind of thing is light It was the imperial court who didn't care about this poor country, and said it was serious that Li Zundao, as a member of the court, also made troubles with the ignorant villagers, asking the imperial court for money, and the word spread was not good for Li Zundao.What's more, he is only a fifth-rank official, and there are many people who can control him. I am afraid that he has not been mixed enough to meet His Majesty Longyan, and he has already been dismissed because of a business trip.
Now that Li Min asked him like this, it was clearly to embarrass him!
If he nodded, it would be Li Min's wish; if he didn't nod, it would affect his official voice.This is a dilemma.
It's just that Li Zundao can also keep silent, or use Tai Chi, but now Li Min's scorching eyes clearly indicate that he will never let it go, and he is determined to break the casserole and ask the end.
"Of course it can't be fixed!"
Li Zundao hadn't spoken yet, but Li Yufeng rushed out the words, yelling, shaking the entire ancestral hall twice!His roar is incomparable to that of Min Jian's howling brawny man. His voice came from his dantian, passed through Xiao Zhoutian, and came out of his throat, but it carried a strong internal force generated by practicing martial arts for so many years.And Min Jian's roar was just the brute force of the brawny man himself.In comparison, Li Yufeng's voice was more heart-pounding and intimidating.
"Oh? Brother Yufeng, what do you think can't be repaired? What's the reason?" Li Min asked with a smile. Did the uncles have the same opinion just now? If so, Brother Yufeng can stand back."
When Li Min said this, there was a mocking smile on his face, as if Li Yufeng was an ignorant country boy who could only learn to parrot.
Li Yufeng didn't call him Li Min the first time they met, and he even tricked him into stealing a thousand taels of silver!Coupled with the hatred of Cao Heng, he can't wait to tear this thin scholar alive right now!Especially when he dared to mock himself, clearly looking down on him!
"I said it can't be repaired. There is only one reason! That is, I can't trust you!" Li Yufeng made a sharp move, pointing at Li Min!
His attack was as fast as the wind. He originally wanted to scare Li Min, and wanted to see him trembling from his fright, but Li Min was pointed at by him, and his fingertips touched the tip of his nose. This kid didn't even have eyes. Didn't even blink!
He is not afraid of him? !
"As a warrior of the tiger, brother Yufeng, you should cultivate yourself and practice martial arts, restrain yourself and help others. If His Majesty knows that you injured a scholar of the imperial court when you were visiting your relatives in your hometown, do you think you can still work for His Majesty in peace?"
Li Min glanced contemptuously at the thick fingers in front of his eyes, snorted softly and turned his head to look at Li Qifu, he bowed his hands and gave a salute with a long voice that everyone present could hear clearly, speaking eloquently Tan, "About my Li family complaining that the imperial court did not repair the embankment, Min'er is a younger generation who can't say the fault of the elders. Presumably Uncle Zun Dao can explain this to Uncle Han; in addition, the river water is pouring back on the crops in the field. This happened more than once. Twice, if you think it's okay, then Miner naturally thinks it's okay, after all, I only have a small piece of land at the root of the mountain. I remember that the family whose field is next to the natural river belongs to Uncle Zundao, but you I have been an official outside for many years, so naturally I don’t know how to farm fields, but the field has been planted by Li Zheng’s family, so Li Zheng is the only one who is unlucky,” Li Min said, sweeping his eyes down, his face Naturally raised a confident smile, and continued, "Although it is very cold to repair embankments in winter, at this time, every family does not have so much work to do, and can spare a lot of labor. This is an opportunity to repair the embankment; Uncle Xiuren said that Min'er is not in good health, but in fact Min'er has beaten all the wolves back. Most people in Mushui Village think that I am in good health. You must be too concerned about Min'er , Miner, thank you for your concern!"
When Li Min mentioned the matter of beating wolves, the members of the Li clan outside the ancestral hall and other people in the village who came here all agreed, "Li Dalang beat wolves! I even ate the wolf meat he gave! It's so delicious!"
"He shot two wolves, and he didn't even hit the Fujian Orion. He shot them. Patriarch, you said, he shot one just to try his luck, but now he shot two. Isn't that also a shot?!"
"Da Lang is a good boy! He gave me a piece of wolf fur. My old wife can't stand the cold weather. With a piece of wolf skin, I can keep warm! How can such a brave and filial child not live a long life? !"
As the voices fell, the patriarch Li Qifu raised his eyebrows and looked towards the door not far away. His youngest son Li Qing was smiling meaningfully at him. Everything was as he had guessed. What Li Min did Everything in this ancestral hall meeting is slowly showing results.
Li Qing raised his eyes and looked at Li Min fixedly. There was a smile like a spring breeze on his delicate face, and the brilliance shone under the long eyelashes. If this scholar's mind was nothing more than that, then he Maybe he can have a place in Mushui Village, and even become a father comparable to him in the clan.But when he saw the smile that was always on the corner of Li Min's mouth, that confident and calm calmness made Li Qing feel that the matter might not be over so quickly.What is his real intention?
Ever since Li Min wanted to plunder all of Li Mu's property to build the embankment, Li Qing felt that he was dealing with his second uncle out of selfishness and revenge.But even if all of Li Mu's property was used to build the embankment, Li Min would not get half a penny, and all he could get was a word or two of compliments from the villagers, and could this little praise be eaten?What's more, there is the patriarch and the entire Li clan above, and Li Min is just an insignificant part of it.
So what exactly does Li Min want to do, and what exactly is he planning?
Li Yufeng took a deep breath when he saw Li Min's momentum, pushed aside the people around him, stood up immediately, and came in front of Li Min.Standing in front of the elegant and thin Li Min, he is a full half a head taller than him, and his figure is also stronger and sharper than him. With a smile on the corner of Li Yufeng's mouth, he dispelled the anger and anger just now, suddenly sharp He smiled, and then said, "Uncle Xiu Ren just said that Li Min's health is not good, it's not groundless, the patriarchs and uncles present all think about it, what kind of disease does Li Dalang have?!"
The friendly atmosphere made Li Qifu think at the beginning that there might be an accident that his tribe would attack Li Min, but it all disappeared. Just when Li Qifu felt that Li Min had gradually been accepted by everyone, and even connected to talk about repairing the embankment, everyone agreed. Unanimously agreed, but—
