Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Talent of Tianzong
In the study, there was a silence. Li Jing stood by the window with his hands down, unable to pass through the lattice, gazing into the distance. It had been a long time since Li Jing came in, but he remained silent and maintained the posture of standing with the back of his hand behind his back. Li Tianzong simply responded to the changes with no change and continued to fight with him.
In these few days, Li Tianzong has thoroughly investigated his background with Li Ji, including the background, members, and personalities of the Li family, all of which are deeply ingrained in his heart. Li Tianzong understood that in this conversation with Li Jing, he must explain his changes. His words had already been prepared, and he was waiting for Li Jing to ask.
Li Jing didn't ask, nor did he speak, only observing the study. This study is separate and does not have an inner room. It is built quite large, with several rows of bookshelves placed against the wall, as well as desks and other items. There are some documents on the mahogany desk, indicating that this is also Li Jing's office. There is no bed in the study, only a rattan bed with a thin cotton quilt placed on top.
After waiting for a while, Li Tianzong noticed that Li Jing's hands on his back were moving imperceptibly. He couldn't help but smile faintly, and Li Jing's heart was full of surprise. He wouldn't wait too long.
The previous apprenticeship ceremony ended unhappily. Zhang Fuzi, who was supposed to take on a disciple, was so angry that he vomited several liters of blood and fainted on the spot. After being treated and diagnosed by the doctors at the Li Mansion, Zhang Fuzi was able to save his life, although he is still sleeping in bed; And the other teachers who were invited to witness the apprenticeship ceremony left angrily.
In no time, the news of the young master engaging in a verbal battle with scholars in the Confucian Hall and causing Zhang Fuzi to vomit blood spread throughout the Li family. The maids and servants secretly discussed that the young master was either possessed by evil spirits or had gained insight!
Li Tianzong followed Li Jing to the study, and after two moments, Li Jing finally spoke up. His tone was calm and composed, making it difficult to guess his emotions: "Zong'er, your Qi cultivation skills are as good as mine
Father, you are overrated, "Li Tianzong's voice carried a hint of a smile.
Li Jing turned around and looked deeply at his son, his eyes rolling as he said, "When did you become so polite to me
Li Tian rubbed his nose, a small gesture he had heard from Li Ji. He smiled and said, "Isn't that because I'm afraid my dad is still bothering me
Li Jing waved his hand and sat down by the rose chair. He picked up the purple clay flying teapot from the nearby coffee table and slowly poured it into the tea bowl, saying, "Zong'er, as a father, I haven't seen you for a few days, I almost didn't recognize you!" He lightly tapped the tea bowl with the lid and said, "If it weren't for your appearance and voice not changing at all, as a father, I really thought someone was impersonating my son
It's only natural for him to have such doubts, it's just that Li Tianzong's temperament has changed too much and too quickly.
In the future, Lin Xian will add another talented person, "Li Jing slowly took a sip of tea and closed his eyes to savor.
Li Tianzong smiled and walked over to sit on the rose chair on the other side of the coffee table, saying, "Wasn't I a talented person before?" After speaking, he burst out laughing.
Li Jing also smiled and shook his head.
Looking at Li Jing, Li Tianzong sighed in his heart and remembered his father from his past life. When my father was alive, they often brewed a pot of tea like we do now, and chatted while drinking. Father and son were like friends, feeling a faint warmth. Now, he has another father. Looking at Li Jing's majestic face, Li Tianzong couldn't express his feelings and was momentarily stunned.
What's the point of being silly again? It's gone back? "Li Jing frowned.
Li Tianzong blinked his eyes, regained his senses, gave a faint smile, poured himself a bowl of tea, took a sip, rolled his tongue slightly, and enjoyed the fragrance. After a while, he exclaimed in admiration, 'Excellent Longjing!'
Oh, even Zong'er knows how to drink tea now? "Li Jing looked at him with interest and said," Didn't you find it boring when I taught you how to drink tea before? You even compared my temple entrance tea to chicken ribs, haha
Li Tianzong also laughed heartily and shook his head, saying, "It's better not to mention this past event!" He knew it was time to explain, warmed up the argument in his heart, and said, "Dad, I've been thinking a lot during the month when I closed the door and thought about it. At first, I was very angry with Dad, angry that you didn't stand up for my child, and I've been thinking of ways to teach Ye Feng a lesson." He said this based on Li Ji's words.
Sure enough, Li Jing nodded slightly, looking like he knew it all.
Li Tianzong's demeanor trembled as he said, "Until a few days ago, I had a very strange dream. Although I woke up, the contents of the dream were already vague, but my child clearly remembered a poem in his mind: 'Angry and full of hair, leaning against the railing, resting in the drizzling rain. Looking up, howling up to the sky, strong and intense. Thirty achievements, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't wait idle, pale the young man's head, empty and sad!'
Don't wait idle, the young man's head is white, empty and sorrowful... "Li Jing recited the lyrics once, his face changing in vain. The talent and spirit of this poem are not just idle! He frowned and pondered, 'Whose word is this?'
Li Tianzong sighed slightly and said, "Father, there's no need to think about it. I've searched through hundreds of poems and books, but I can't find this poem. The child only remembers this one poem, and everything else fades away with dreams. It's really regrettable." There is no Song Dynasty in this world, and naturally no shame for Jingkang, so I won't reveal it in the following poem.
Li Jing frowned and said, "Oh, how could this happen? Does this word have anything to do with your own changes
Well, the child woke up in a dream when he received this fragment, and then broke out in a cold sweat. "Li Tianzong took a sip of tea and looked at it with a look of recollection:" I was almost at the age of a weak crown, yet I didn't know what to do all day long, without talent or education, living in a daze! Isn't this just wasting my youth? As the lyrics say, I'm afraid I'll regret it when I'm gray
Li Tianzong let out a deep sigh, as if blaming himself for the past.
Li Jing nodded slightly, it seems that this poem enlightened Zong Er?
Since that day, I have learned from my past mistakes and decided to change my mind. "Li Tianzong smiled and looked at Li Jing, saying," Dad, it's really strange. Since I broke out in that cold sweat, my mind seems to have changed. In the past, I could understand the meaning of the scriptures that I couldn't understand after reading them once
This... even though Li Jing had seen so much, he couldn't help but be stunned when he suddenly heard that his own son had such an adventure.
Li Tianzong continued, "There are also elegant things like playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, enjoying tea and flowers, which I used to disdain, but they all made me feel the joy and intoxicated me! Dad, aren't you surprised by Dodge
Zong'er, is this really true? "Li Jing couldn't believe it, but he had to believe his son's changes here.
Li Tianzong nodded and said seriously, "There's not a single empty word! Since I had that dream, my child has been like an unopened sword, opened from now on!" Observing Li Jing's eyes gradually becoming convinced, Li Tianzong continued, "But there are gains and losses, and my child is no exception this time
He sighed and said with a bitter smile, "My child seems to have lost a lot of memories
Li Jing was startled and urgently said, "Is there a serious problem? Why didn't you call a doctor for treatment that day
Seeing Li Jing's concern evident in his words, Li Tianzong's heart warmed and he shook his head with a smile, saying, "It's not a big deal. It seems like all I've forgotten are some trivial and unpleasant things. In fact, if I hadn't forgotten those things, how could my child's nature have changed so much
Li Jing nodded and agreed with Li Tianzong's words. If he hadn't forgotten something, a person wouldn't have become so fast. Why did Zong'er have such a rare encounter? Could it be a manifestation of ancestral spirits?
Dad, do you think what Zhang Tianzhi said about 'Tianzong's talent' refers to my adventure? It's like a gift of talent from heaven, "Li Tianzong smiled in his heart. He really had to thank Zhang Tianzhi. If it weren't for his looks, this statement would have lost its color a lot.
Sure enough, Li Jing's eyes lit up when he heard the four words "talent of Tianzong". He stopped holding the tea and thought for a moment before finally laughing happily and saying, "So that's it! Zhang Tian Shi, why didn't you explain it clearly in the first place? It made me sad for many years
Li Tianzong understands Li Jing's feelings very well. As a father, who doesn't want their son to succeed? Moreover, Li Jing was a high-ranking official in the New Song Dynasty, and Li Tianzong was the eldest son and grandson of the Li family! If Li Tianzong is just a straw bag, how can we continue the Li family?
Li Jing smiled for a moment, squinting his eyes as he looked at his son, feeling increasingly happy and relieved... Since this scoundrel captured Zhou Er, Li Jing has never been so happy as he is now.
After a moment of silence, Li Tianzong said, "Dad, I was just in the Confucian Academy and caused chaos with the proper apprenticeship ceremony. Are you unhappy
No, no, I'm extremely happy to be my father! "Li Jing chuckled and took a sip of tea, waving his hand and saying," How did I not know that Zhang Yizong was a corrupt scholar? It's just that you had no intention of learning before, and if you couldn't be disciplined by a strict teacher, my father would have invited Zhang Yizong to be your teacher. Now that your mind has opened up, if it's not Wu Xiameng, there's no need for Zhang Yizong to point fingers
He put away his smile and said seriously, "However, although Zhang Yizong is a corrupt scholar, he has a considerable reputation in the officialdom. If he destroys your reputation in the officialdom, it will be troublesome. You have gone too far today, and if you encounter such a situation again in the future, remember to leave room for the other party to step down
Li Tianzong gave a faint smile and said, "Dad, what you're talking about is the doctrine of the mean, right?" He snorted faintly.
Zong'er, I know you're full of youthful vigor... "Li Jing saw his son sneering at the Doctrine of the Mean and wanted to persuade him again, but was unexpectedly interrupted by a call from outside.
Baby - baby - "The voice was urgent and filled with infinite love, and Li Tianzong knew as soon as he heard it that the visitor must be his mother.
