King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 137
On this day, the mansion of General Jianwei in Xiangping City, Liaodong County of the Great Han Dynasty was decorated with lanterns and festoons. Why?Because today is the first birthday of the young master of this mansion.

Even if officials from the four counties in Liaodong were not present, they all sent congratulatory gifts. Li Lin followed the principle of thrift and frugality, and told them not to do this again...

"Great Captain of the Han Dynasty, Rongqiuhou, Youzhou Mu, Liu Yu and Lord Liu are here to meet..." The servants at the door called out the names of the visitors.

Li Lin, who was teasing Li Ping with a group of officials, straightened his face when he heard this, handed Li Ping to Yu'er, and led everyone to greet him at the door.

"Meet uncle!" Li Lin bowed to Liu Yu, and Liu Ying also bowed to Liu Yu very gracefully.

Although all the officials present were under Li Lin's subordinates, when they saw Li Lin, they all respected Liu Yu very much, and they all said, "Greetings, Mr. State Shepherd!" , and can only control half of Youzhou.

Seeing everyone bowing down one after another, Liu Yu felt that he had a lot of face, so he quickly laughed and said, "Quickly, quickly, quickly!"

The hall returned to normal, and groups of people chatted with acquaintances together. Li Lin said to Liu Yu, "Uncle, why bother you to come here in person?" Li Lin knew that he and Liu Yu I saw that Gongsun Zan was still far away. If Liu Yu wanted to come to Xiangping City from Ji County, he would definitely pass by Gongsun Zan's territory. If this Gongsun Zan really jumped the wall... So Liu Yu's coming is also somewhat dangerous, Li Lin I guess in my heart there must be something important to discuss with myself.

Liu Yu went directly to Yu'er, touched Li Ping's small face and said with a smile, "Hehe, my grandson is over one year old, of course I, the uncle and grandpa, have to come and see it! Come! Call me grandpa!" Liu Yu He didn't even look at Li Lin, and kept teasing Li Ping.

"Grand... grandpa, grandpa... grandpa..." Li Ping is already one year old, and he can say some simple words. When he called Li Lin's father for the first time, he almost didn't make Li Lin smile crookedly, because The first thing Li Ping said clearly was the word "father", but Liu Ying was furious.

"So good! Grandpa will bring it for you!" As he said, Liu Yu took out a piece of jade and put it on Li Ping's neck. Playing with this jade pendant with small hands is very novel.

"Uncle, what are you doing? How can you give such a precious gift!" Liu Ying said.

"Hehe, what do you care about my grandson!" Liu Yu said unhappily, like an old child, and then Liu Yu teased Li Ping again.

Of course, Li Lin readily accepted Liu Yu's great gift. This old man is so rich, can he just keep silent?Come over and pick up Li Ping's two little hands together, and said with a smile, "Come on! Dear son, thank you uncle! Thank you uncle!" Li Lin shook Li Ping's two little arms up and down, and when the time came, put one side People are so happy.

"Great Han General Fenwu, Jihou Gongsun Zan sent someone to send congratulatory gifts!" Another shout.

Everyone in the venue frowned, and Li Lindao said "Pfft!" and laughed.

Liu Yu wondered, "Why is Yuan Jie laughing?"

Li Lin said, "Hehe, you said that this Gongsun Zan even brought me a congratulatory gift, pointing at me in exchange?" Liu Yu laughed dumbfounded when he heard that, and shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that Gongsun Zan is courting you now..." Liu Yu joked.

"Hehe, he should curry favor with you, Uncle!" Li Lin said.

"Hmph! I invited him many times and he didn't come, and he flattered me!" Liu Yu said angrily.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you'll give him a grand banquet!" Li Lin rolled his eyes and said.

"........."

"Come on, Uncle, let me introduce you. This is Prefect Le Lang, and also my uncle, Bing Yuan!" Li Lin introduced the real uncle in his heart to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu paid homage to Bing Yuan, "Hehe, according to Mr., you are all right!"

Bing Yuan also said politely, "Hehe, how is Mr. Zhou Mu?" The two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Lin wondered, "So the two uncles know each other!"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Hehe, it's been five years since we left Luoyang, right?" Liu Yu stretched out his right hand and opened his palm.

Bing Yuan nodded, "Hehe, yes, it's been more than five years! We're all old..."

Liu Yu looked at Li Lin and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect us to become relatives because of Yuan Jie!" Bing Yuan stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

Liu Yu said a few words to Bing Yuan, and led Liu Yu to Guan Ning's side, "Uncle, this is my teacher, Mr. You'an!"

Liu Yu bowed respectfully, "I've heard of Mr. You'an's name for a long time, and it's a great honor to meet you today!"

Guan Ning also respected Liu Yu in return, but he didn't say anything. Li Lin knew that his teacher didn't like this kind of occasion. If it wasn't for his son's birthday, Guan Ning would save face, and no one would invite him to come.

Liu Yu didn't blame anything, Guan Ning's name Liu Yu had already been heard, and after knowing that Guan Ning had come to Liaodong, he once wanted to invite him to Beifeng, but there was no chance.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries again, and Li Lin also wanted to greet other guests. No one dared to approach Liu Yu within a meter of him. Awkward…………

Everyone chatted for a while, and said, "The auspicious time has come..." Everyone knew that today's theme was coming.

The most exciting part of the child's first birthday is to catch the week. Li Lin deliberately laid a big carpet on the ground. On one side of the carpet are a writing brush, a delicate dagger, a seal, an abacus, and a piece of gold. , there is actually a string of beads, a whisk, and an apple at the end...

Everyone was amazed by Li Lin's enlightenment. With a brush, he hoped that Li Ping would become a literati. With a dagger, he was a general. With a seal, he was an official. Gold, that is, Li Ping loves money very much, but he still has a string of beads and a whisk?How can a father let his children become monks or Taoist priests...

Liu Ying's face darkened in an instant, and she said angrily to Li Lin, "You just put this..." pointing to the Buddhist beads and whisk on the floor stand.

Li Lin immediately said, "Of course not!" He walked over, pointed to the apple on the blanket and said, "Who put this, does it mean that my son will be a foodie in the future?"

At this moment, Yan Zhi ran over and said with a smile, "Hehe, I was holding something to eat just now, and it fell here..." Quickly picked up the apple.

Li Lin nodded in satisfaction, Liu Ying saw Li Lin's humble appearance, walked over angrily, kicked the Buddhist beads and fly whisk away, and shouted, "I won't let my son become a monk or a Taoist in the future if I kill him!" !" Then he glared at Li Lin.

Li Lin immediately felt the murderous aura around him, and everyone was half-smiling, not daring to laugh out loud, holding back.

Li Lin hurried over and coaxed, "Hehe, am I just joking? Isn't catching the week just for entertainment, there is no saying that you can catch whatever you catch, don't be angry, there are so many people, give me some face!"

Liu Ying glared at Li Lin fiercely, then ignored him, went to hug Li Ping, put him gently on the blanket, and said in Li Ping's ear, "My dear son, come to the other side, which thing, Take whichever you like!"

Li Ping didn't understand at all, only seeing everyone looking at him, the child suddenly felt a little scared, and went straight to Liu Ying, struggling to stretch out his two little hands, wanting Liu Ying to hug him, Li Ping is still I can't walk back, so I keep writhing on the ground, feeling very uncomfortable.

Liu Ying straightened Li Fang again, and said, "My dear son, just go to the opposite side and get that thing, it will be fine, my dear..."

Li Ping looked at this person with ignorant eyes, then looked at Liu Ying, turned his head and slowly crawled to the opposite side of the blanket. Everyone held their breath and did not dare to make a sound. flat.

Li Lin also stared at what his precious son would choose. Although Li Lin didn't believe in this thing, it would still be fun, wouldn't it?

I saw Li Ping slowly crawling to the side of the writing brush, fiddled with it a few times, and everyone followed him, especially Guan Ning who was standing in the crowd. He is a literati. Will be carefully cultivated.

Li Ping fiddled with it a few times, as if he didn't like it, he threw the brush away, and many people sighed. Li Lin saw that there was his teacher Guan Ning, and some local literati.

Li Lin felt that his son threw it well, but he didn't want his son to be a soft talent in the future.

Li Ping came to the dagger again, and the hearts of all the generals under Li Lin who were present were aroused. Li Ping fiddled with it for a long time, probably because he felt that this thing was good, and it was handsome when he picked it up. The sunlight reflected and shone on the blade, and the reflected light hit Li Ping's face. Li Ping was startled, and threw the dagger on the ground, and the generals sighed again.

Li Ping went to the seal money, picked up the seal, looked at it for a long time, and then looked at the jade pendant Liu Yu gave him on his neck. This seal was also made of jade. Li Ping felt that the two things were similar. Ping likes things like jade very much, and all the officials present have stretched their necks. Liu Yu is also very concerned. Maybe this son will be a politician in the future.

I saw that Li Ping was comparing there for a long time. He felt that this seal was not as good as the thing he wore around his neck, so he threw the seal aside. Liu Yu shook his head. Just choose the seal.

When Li Ping arrived at the abacus, he saw that he couldn't hold it. He pulled the beads, rattled, and fiddled with them for a long time. Seeing that the abacus was fun, Li Ping laughed. Li Lin shook his head, "It seems that my son likes this! Hehe... ..."
