New Song Dynasty Fengliu

One by one, fish food was scattered onto the surface of the pond, and several golden carp swam quickly towards them. They opened their round mouths and competed for it, some jumping over and splashing water.

What are you fighting for? There are still many left, and I won't be hungry, "Wan'er said gently, sprinkling another handful of fish food. Looking at the cheerful carp competing for food, she was very satisfied. When she was a child, she used to love feeding fish and watching them bounce around. Later, when her family was in trouble, she joined the school and hasn't fed any fish in nearly ten years. After being redeemed by Li Tianzong, the task of feeding fish fell on her, and she was able to stand by the pool like this, scattering fish food one by one and talking to the fish.

Wan'er turned around and looked at the study, muttering to herself, "I wonder if the young master has finished practicing his handwriting." With this thought, Li Tianzong's expression floated to her heart, and she couldn't help but smile sweetly.

Speaking of this young master, he's really good! He treats people calmly, without any bad temper like the young master, and has extraordinary talent. There seems to be nothing he doesn't understand, and there are those subtle... humorous jokes. I really don't know how the young master came up with them, haha!

Yesterday, the young master said he wanted to paint, but in the end, there was still a blank sheet of paper. She couldn't help but ask, why hasn't the young master waved his brush yet? Unexpectedly, the young master said he had already drawn it. She was puzzled, was there anything painted on this blank sheet of paper. The young master said that this was originally a sketch of an old cow eating, but the grass was eaten up by the cow, and then the cow left after eating, so it turned into a blank sheet of paper.

This made Sister Xiyun laugh for a moment. Wan'er hummed softly, her mouth slightly curled up. The young master liked to tease her, causing her to be laughed to death by her sister these past two days!

Wan'er sprinkled the last handful of fish food and smiled, "It's gone. Eating too much is not good, it will hold on." She was about to walk to the study when she saw Li Ji rushing towards the courtyard.

Since the young master had two maidservants, his duty as a attendant has been taken over, and Li Ji rarely steps into the yard anymore. He only does some running errands and delivering messages on a daily basis. Entering the courtyard, Li Ji took a slow step and wiped the sweat off his forehead, saying, "Wan'er, quickly pass on the message to the young master. Young Master Sima has come to visit us

Seeing Li Ji in such a hurry, Wan'er dared not neglect and responded quickly, then walked towards the study.

In the study, several bookshelves were placed against the wall. Li Tianzong sat behind a rosewood desk, practicing calligraphy with a ferret's hair. The rice paper, which was pressed against the edge by the jade paper, was filled with flying wild grass. Unfortunately, his spirit was slightly weak and his arrogance was insufficient. Li Tianzong stopped writing, shook his head, and sighed, "This word is too formal, and some of the changes seem deliberate. I still haven't been able to write the mood of wild grass

Xiyun, dressed in purple, stood beside her, holding a bamboo ink ingot in her delicate jade hand and slowly grinding ink. She smiled at the words and said, "I heard that before Zhang Xu paints his hair, he drinks heavily until he gets drunk and writes while he's in the mood. That's why his wild grass can gallop left and right, constantly changing. But now that you haven't touched a drop of wine, it's inevitable that the wild grass in your pen will leave some marks

Li Tianzong gazed at the ink words on the paper and whispered, "Being drunk is just a way to entertain myself. I haven't achieved my madness yet!" He suddenly opened his eyebrows and murmured, "No, it's not that I haven't achieved my madness yet, but my madness hasn't stopped!" He suddenly realized and exclaimed with joy, "I have taken a photo, I have taken a photo! If you don't let go of your delusions, how can you be crazy? Madness naturally stops, and rest is Bodhi! So it's me who has taken a photo

Seeing his ecstatic expression, Xiyun put down the millstone in his hand and asked joyfully, "Young master, have you thought of anything

Li Tianzong was about to speak when he saw Wan'er walking quickly into the study with a somewhat anxious expression. He bowed and said, "Young master, Wan'er has something to report to you." Li Tianzong put down his brush with a smile and stood up, saying, "Wan'er, what's the matter

Wan'er walked over and said, "Young master, Li Ji came to share the legend, and Sima Young Master came to visit

Oh, Sima Hao has arrived. He must have called me to the painting boat. You can all stay at home this time, and I will take you to see things again next time. "Li Tianzong ordered and walked outside. When he reached Wan'er, he stopped, straightened her hair bun, and smiled," Look at you, it's such a big deal. Why are you in such a hurry? You're walking with messy hair and slanted hair

Wan'er stared blankly at her young master, a blush spreading across her rosy cheeks, and the gentle autumn water in her eyes rippled slightly.

Seeing her embarrassed, Li Tianzong couldn't help but scratch her delicate nose and laugh, "Little girl

When Li Tianzong walked out of the study, Wan'er smiled sweetly. It's really strange that the young master is one year younger than her, why call her a little girl? It's so natural? However, the feeling of being called a little girl by him is quite good.

At some point, Xiyun had already walked from the desk to Wan'er's side and said in a cloying tone, "Little girl -" She called out with a chuckle.

Xiyun's voice sounded like it was getting tired of bees, and Wan'er felt embarrassed. Her face was as red as a cloth, and she whispered, "Young master, how could you be like this? Sister, you would make fun of me

Of course not, the young master's voice sounds much better than mine, "Xiyun chuckled and leaned in to Wan'er's ear," Someone's spring heart is rippling! "Then came a string of silver bell like laughter.

Wan'er stomped her feet and covered her blushing face with both hands, saying, "You're still talking, you're still talking

Passing through the hall and corridor, Li Tianzong, who was already familiar with the layout of the Li Mansion, arrived at the front hall, while his servant Li Ji followed behind. The front hall is spacious and exquisitely decorated, with long floor to ceiling windows on both sides. In the center hangs a plaque that reads "Haoran Zhengqi". Below the plaque is a poem by Haoran, and below it is a rosewood altar with jade vases, mirrors, and other objects.

Six large red painted wooden pillars stand tall, with huge stone lion pillars beneath them, majestic and imposing. A pair of wooden stakes on the top are carved with a pair of couplets: "To handle things with benevolence, benevolence is both established and successful; to pursue profit with intention, harm comes when profit is not obtained." This couplet is the family style and rules of the Li family.

There are tea tables and wooden chairs in the hall, as well as several vases, potted plants, and round wooden stools. I saw a young man in blue sitting on the Grand Preceptor's chair on the top left, dressed in a blue student uniform, with a square scarf tied around his head and a brocade belt tied around his waist, quite elegant. Compared to Li Tianzong, his face is more mature, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is also a handsome guy.

When he saw Li Tianzong enter the hall, he put down the blue and white tea bowl in his hand and stood up to greet him, saying, "Brother, I want to be a brother

This person is none other than Sima Hao, one of Li Tianzong's few true friends. Although Sima Hao is two years older than him, he enrolled in a preschool academy with him and became a classmate. Later on, they became brothers and took great care of him.

If Li Ji's intelligence is accurate, Sima Hao would be a friend worth befriending. Li Tianzong smiled and went up to greet him with his arm, saying, "Big brother, you foolish brother also wants to harm you

The two of them exchanged pleasantries before finally taking their seats. Seeing Li Tianzong brewing a bowl of tea and leisurely drinking it, Sima Hao thought to himself, it seems that the rumors are true, and it seems that his younger brother has really changed. He asked, "Brother, how have you been during this period of confinement?" After that, he sighed and shook his head, saying, "It's all because of your brother that you were harmed. If I hadn't taken you to the painting boat, Brother, you wouldn't have been confined by Uncle for a month

Big brother, there's no need to blame yourself. Going to the painting boat was my own intention, not yours, "Li Tianzong said with a bowl lid and a leisurely smile," but on the other hand, I have to thank you for this month's enlightenment. I've thought a lot and read many scriptures this month, it's really enlightening

Sima Haoqi said, "But what scripture? Did it make you suddenly enlightened, my younger brother

Li Tianzong gave a faint smile and said, "It's just some of the Hundred Classics of various scholars, but I seem to have opened my mind and started reading those scriptures again, but I have new insights. To be honest with my elder brother, my younger brother is no longer a Wuxia Amun

Congratulations to my younger brother! "Sima Hao laughed heartily, his eyes clear and flawless, from the bottom of his heart. He took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Brother, I still heard about something. I wonder if it's true or false? I heard that my younger brother was so angry that he vomited blood at Zhang Yizong's apprenticeship ceremony that day

Thinking of Zhang Yizong trembling all over and finally being forced to curse and insult his manners, Li Tianzong couldn't help but laugh and nod, "It's true that this happened. How did Big Brother learn about it

Sima Hao also laughed heartily and said, "It seems that my younger brother has truly come to his senses. He can even infuriate Zhang Yizong, that stubborn old man

Li Ji, who was standing behind the two of them, also smiled and said, "That day, the young master engaged in a heated debate with scholars, which was really exciting! Young Master Sima, you don't know that Huang Fuzi and Zhu Fuzi were almost knocked out by the young master's words

Sima Hao was startled and stared, saying, "Huang Fuzi is the most powerful in the city, and that old fox almost fainted from anger. I used to say he wouldn't participate!" He sighed heavily and said, "It's a pity, a pity! It was a pity that he wasn't there that day!" After sighing a few words, he answered Li Tianzong's previous question, "Nowadays, almost everyone in Linxian knows about this matter. Zhang Yizong came to Linxian with his head held high and said that he was invited to be his younger brother's teacher, but a few days later, he left in a dejected manner. As soon as everyone inquired, they found out about the matter of your younger brother's arrogance towards Confucianism

Li Tianzong turned around and looked at Li Ji, wondering, "Who spread this?" The masters would definitely not bring their embarrassing stories to the table, so only the people of the Li family would talk about his anger towards Confucianism.

Li Ji scratched his head and said, "Young master, I'm not sure who spread it. However, the master has already made it clear that you can say anything that angers scholars

This is not a scandal, on the contrary, it is a matter of prestige. Li Jing has been holding back for so many years, and finally hopes that his son will come to his senses. Naturally, he wants to publicize it widely to vent his anger. Thinking of this, Li Tianzong couldn't help but laugh and say, "Then haven't I become the latest news figure in Linxian

News figures? "Sima Hao read it all over in confusion, and after a moment of contemplation, he understood the meaning of the word. He patted his hand and smiled," Exactly, my younger brother, the matter of your Confucian reputation has become a topic of conversation among the people of Linxian. And my younger brother, your theory of governing brothels has moved countless brothel women to tears

Only the people of prosperous times can be enthusiastic about these gossip matters. Did Miss Qiqi forgive me? "Said Li Tianzong

Sima Hao shook his head and said, "I haven't been to the Hundred Flowers Painting Boat for several days. Although Miss Qiqi has a gentle temperament, the one you broke last time was her most precious and beloved pot of secluded chrysanthemums. With her love for flowers, even if I forgive you, I'm afraid it will only be cold and distant." He sighed and said, "It's difficult, difficult, difficult to win the heart of a beautiful woman, my younger brother

I want to win the heart of a beauty? "Li Tianzong was stunned and asked in return.

What, I forgot after a month? You told me before that you fell in love with Miss Qiqi! "Sima Hao questioned.

So it's like this, the boy went boating for the first time before, and Qiqi was also a courtesan. It's strange that he didn't like her. Li Tianzong said calmly, "The future is long, no one can say for sure whether I can win the heart of a beautiful woman

This statement is reasonable, "Sima Hao nodded and looked out the window at the sky." Brother, it's getting late. Let's set off for the Hundred Flowers Painting Boat now! But I still have one question for you... "He hesitated for a moment and said," Did Uncle really allow Brother to set foot on the Qinglou Painting Boat

Li Tianzong finished drinking the clear tea from his bowl, stood up and smiled, "I promise, I'll still deceive you! Let's go, don't make Miss Qiqi wait in a hurry

Seeing the young master's smile and full of enthusiasm, Li Ji couldn't help but feel worried. It seemed that Miss Qiqi hadn't invited the young master. Would it be a bit inappropriate for the young master to come uninvited like this
