Lord Yuan

Chapter 18 Li Ying’s Daughter (please follow up)

Not long after, the woman in red came to Uncle Fu accompanied by her servants.

The woman in red is wearing a red skirt, her slender hair is fluttering in the wind, and she has a plump figure.

Uncle Fu was stunned for a long time and remained silent for a long time.

The woman in the red dress wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows slightly, stroked the tip of her nose and said, "Old man, I just learned from the guard that you should go back. It's raining heavily and you might get cold if you get wet."

Only then did Uncle Fu come back to his senses and said with a smile: "I have a mission. If I can't see the famous scholar Li Ying, I will sit here and wait until dawn."

The woman in the red dress sighed softly when she heard this, and then raised her head to look at the sky: "Old man, this rain will not stop for a while."

"But who entrusted it? Can I take a look first?"

Uncle Fu instantly became vigilant, his face expressionless, he just looked at the woman in the red dress quietly.

Sure enough, as the young master said, the more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy she is.

How could I hand over the rulers and tablets that the young master had placed great trust in to someone else, let alone a beautiful woman of unknown origin.

Uncle Fu shook his head, "I hope you'll forgive me. My young master has something to say, and he must meet Li Ying, a famous scholar, before he can believe it."

"Does the old gentleman know who I am?" The woman in the red dress was not angry, she smiled softly with her eyebrows white and her teeth white.

Fu Bo shook his head and didn't know.

"I am the daughter of the famous gentleman Li Ying. Now I am returning home from an outing. I see the old gentleman sitting under the eaves to take shelter from the rain. I cannot bear to suffer from the wind and cold, so I came here to persuade him."

The woman in the red dress, whose name is Li Wan, does not have a name, her smile appears, and she points to the backyard behind her.

Hearing this, Fu Bo suddenly wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, and was extremely embarrassed.

Looking at the guard at the door who glanced here from time to time, he already had the answer in his heart.

I simply stopped worrying about whether what the young master said was right or wrong. Anyway, the meaning of sending the ruler slips to Li Ying's hands and to his daughter's hands should be roughly the same.

Uncle Fu took out the ruler slips given by Yuan Shao, which he kept strictly.

"My young master would like to ask Li Ying, a famous scholar, to become his disciple, so that he can learn about the world's famous works, broaden his horizons, and gain fame and fortune."

Both hands solemnly presented the scale.

Li Wan smiled and said nothing.

Over the years, although my father had lived in the battlefield for a long time and honed his murderous aura, he never forgot to study scriptures and commentaries in his spare time. His knowledge has long been famous throughout the world. Nowadays, there are countless high-ranking officials in the family who want to accept his father as their disciple.

Li Ying was strict about self-interest, so naturally he would not open up the path of teaching apprentices. Even the Imperial College was established solely to enable students from all over the world to not rely on those high-ranking officials and nobles, and to eunuch and eunuch.

Be able to obtain corresponding gains through your own efforts.

But if you want to take my route of ascending the dragon's gate, it will be a dead end.

In the past month alone, dozens of surrounding aristocratic families have come to the door with many financial gifts.

Among them are many of the top local families.

And his father Li Ying just accepted Xun Shuang, the Xun family.

"Then I'm afraid I will disappoint the old gentleman." Li Wan smiled and shook her head, then said softly: "My father is old and has no more energy to teach scriptures."

After saying that, Li Wan opened the ruler slip that Yuan Shao had placed high hopes on under the watchful eyes of Uncle Fu.

then.

Fu Bo found out.

The daughter of Li Ying, a well-known celebrity, looked like a child in front of her. Her bright eyes gradually became serious, and her red lips trembled from time to time, as if she was following the contents of the ruler.

A full quarter of an hour passed before Li Wan woke up in the sea of ​​rulers and tablets. It seemed that she had not yet recovered from her consciousness, and the rulers and tablets she held in her hand gradually became bent.

"Who is the young master mentioned by the old gentleman?" Li Wan looked surprised. Looking at the shocking remarks in the ruler, his chest could not stop trembling back and forth.

Uncle Fu and the others were out of sight and out of mind, shaking their heads repeatedly to throw away the thoughts in their minds. "My young master's name is Yuan Shao, his courtesy name is Benchu, and he is from Runan."

Fu Bo raised his head and said proudly.

"Are they from the Yuan family in Runan?"

Li Wan said, when the Yuan family is mentioned, people will unconsciously substitute it into the name of the Yuan family in Runan, and even Li Wan is no exception.

Yuan's reputation was so famous that his father mentioned it to him several times.

Uncle Fu hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether he was shaking his head or nodding.

He remembered what the young master had said when he first came, specifically mentioning that the young master, regardless of his family background, was just a student who hoped to become a disciple of Li Ying.

On a whim just now, I almost blurted out the story of the young master, secretly feeling annoyed for fear of ruining the young master's important affairs.

With an arrow on the string, Uncle Fu faced Li Wan's question. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer it.

Li Wan Bingxue was smart and understood the truth in an instant.

Come to think of it, Yuan Benchu ​​didn't want to be proud of his family background.

Thinking of this, Li Wan couldn't help but become interested in Yuan Benchu, whom she had never met before.

"It's just a matter of studying and becoming a teacher, why not come in person?"

"My young master's mother has recently passed away. As a filial piety, he built a residence in front of his mother's tomb."

Uncle Fu said with emotion: "If the famous scholar Li Ying is willing to accept the son, he will come personally to thank the famous scholar Li Ying for his kindness."

Li Wan thought for a while and said, "In that case, I will take this letter to my father first and wait for him to make a decision."

Then he turned around and walked into the mansion. Halfway through, he turned around and said, "Old sir, please come into the mansion. It's cold outside and come in to have a cup of tea."

Uncle Fu wanted to refuse, but Li Wan couldn't resist Li Wan's enthusiasm. Since he wanted to ask for help, he gave up and followed Li Wan into the Li Mansion.

When entering, Uncle Fu took the zigzag umbrella handed to him by Bu Qu and thanked him repeatedly. The guard said what he should have done, and then he continued to stand at his post without saying a word.

When Uncle Fu saw this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Li Ying is a famous scholar with an elegant style, and the guards in his mansion are so reasonable, unlike the outside world who always makes things difficult."

Soon, Uncle Fu and others, led by Li Wan, met Li Ying, who was not afraid of the scorching sun to teach students on a sunny day.

Seeing his daughter's arrival, a smile appeared on Li Ying's tense face. However, the old injury on his waist recurred, and the strong wind and rain caused the internal pain to intensify.

He wanted to stand up but was afraid that Li Wan would notice something strange, so he could only sit on the chair as if nothing happened.

"Wan'er, who are these?" Looking at the Fu Bos who were following closely behind them, the leader was a little older, but the following ones felt familiar.

Li Ying took a closer look and found that the Yuan clan members had steady steps and strong postures, as if they had been on the battlefield.

"These guys are here to bring a disciple to my father." Li Wan smiled brightly and gently presented the ruler in his hand.

Li Ying was puzzled. After taking the ruler, he read the contents on it.

After reading the first two sentences, Li Ying felt astonished. These remarks were truly shocking.

I dare not say that it is unprecedented, but it is indeed unique in the world. Li Ying became more and more comfortable as he read it, especially the annotations in Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals.

He was originally a loyal supporter of Zuo's Chunqiu, but now that he saw someone who could make a completely different understanding in front of him, he suddenly stood up and patted the armrest next to his seat on a whim.

But he forgot about his old waist problem, and a suppressed slight cry still caught Li Wan's attention.

"Father."

　I am looking for further reading and recommendation, and I hope all the famous people at home and abroad can help me.

　　Pursue reading
