The rain last night was exceptionally heavy, even though it was this morning, the weather was still cloudy and gloomy. Li Tang and the others came back very late last night. Chu Tianwen was pacing in his courtyard anxiously when he heard someone knocking. After the door, I quickly ran out to look, and saw that Xie Wenyu was drenched in water, with an unhappy expression on her face. Chu Tianwen was about to laugh at her, but saw Li Tang, who had brought Zhao Xiaowu back, looking disappointed, and hurriedly asked What the hell happened.
Li Tang had no intention of talking at all, and dragged his exhausted body towards his residence. Chu Tianwen moved everyone to the middle hall, then turned around and asked Xie Wenyu, Xie Wenyu had no choice but to replace Li Tang and tell Chu Tianwen exactly what happened today. At the Lotus Poetry Meeting, Li Tang was in high spirits and mocked all the talented people present. Chu Tianwen couldn't help but asked in wonder: "Obviously we won, why do we still look unhappy?"
Xie Wenyu continued to tell Zhao Xiaowu what happened in front of Zhao Xiaowu's house, and a hearty battle broke out. Chu Tianwen asked the person who hated stabbing people in the back the most in his life, and couldn't help scolding the man in black for being despicable and shameless, but when he heard When the man in black was Pei Liu, my heart still skipped a beat. Immediately afterwards, Xie Wenyu told Chu Tianwen about Pei Liu's burial process, and Chu Tianwen hastily arranged for his servants to settle these people down, including how many of them were buried separately. He walked out of the mansion holding an oil-paper umbrella.
Pei Liu was buried by Li Tang in the courtyard of his former residence, which was the last place of their good memories. Pei Liu's last words in this life turned out to be that he wanted to be brothers with him in the next life, and the purpose was to have a relationship with him. share a father. On a cold rainy night, Li Tang chopped down the stone table in the courtyard where they drank tea together into a tombstone, on which he wrote "the tomb of my elder brother Pei Liu", and engraved small characters on the side "brother Li Tang knocked up". Can Jian was also by his side, sleeping in the ground forever.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Tang stood in front of his residence in the Chu family and looked at Zhao Xiaowu in front of him. He was still thinking about him, but he was much better than last night.
"Sir, you asked me to come to Chu's house with you, what exactly can you arrange for me?"
Just when Li Tang was stunned, Zhao Xiaowu took the lead to break the deadlock. He also suspected that he was just a sentry at the city gate, so it was worth the Chu family's effort to fish him out of the fire pit. He was going to be assassinated last night, but fortunately, Li Tang in front of him managed to save himself from the siege, but what made him even more puzzled was that Li Tang was here to rescue him, why would he be so sad after killing the assassin .
In Zhao Xiaowu's view, all this is really confused, and he doesn't know the reason behind it. However, this is nothing to Li Tang. Master, the only unexpected thing is that when he just wanted to force Pei Liu away, Pei Liu would choose to commit suicide in the end.
"Oh, don't worry, have your mother and Qing'er settled down?"
"It's settled. My mother is old and resting in the room. Qing'er reported to the backyard early in the morning. Uncle Chen followed the arrangement of the young master of the Chu family and went to the Yanwu Hall to take charge of cleaning."
"That's good. Someone probably told you about your task. It's mainly to follow me. But I'm fine at the moment. It's just that you lack a lot of things now. I want you to learn something first."
"I would like to follow Mr.'s orders."
"Shall we go and see Qing'er first?"
Li Tang looked at Zhao Xiaowu with a slight smile, and when Zhao Xiaowu heard that he was going to see Sister Qing'er, he suddenly seemed embarrassed, rubbing his hands in embarrassment, and his face turned red, "Here, Sister Qing'er is still working, That's not good."
"It's nothing, just follow me."
Li Tang walked in front, and Zhao Xiaowu followed. Along the way, Li Tang was thinking about what would be more suitable for him to learn. Xiaowu is more straightforward and likes to follow the rules. If he is simply arranged to go to Chitang to learn martial arts , then I am a little too sorry for dragging him out of the quagmire with so much effort, and the job of Xuantang's military advisers is not suitable for him. Brain is a good thing, but Zhao Xiaowu seems to be too rigid, and Qingtang can't mention it. Even if Zhao Xiaowu didn't feel embarrassed, Li Tang himself felt embarrassed. In the end, Li Tang decided to let him go to Motang to find a spy expert for advice.
Although I am familiar with all the tricks of the spies under the conditioning of my father Li Zongye, after all, I don¡¯t often use them, and I can¡¯t teach many things by myself. It¡¯s different when I go to Motang. They have been monitoring and listening all the year round, and have countless experiences. Naturally, they don¡¯t use routine tricks As I said, he can learn martial arts and spy ways, if he can open his mind, that would be the best.
The biggest advantage of Zhao Xiaowu is that he obeys the rules. Li Tang also chose him because of this. In the ordinary world, he can do things according to the rules.There are too few, many people want to break the rules, but they are deeply trapped in the cage, only people like Zhao Xiaowu, he understands what the rules are, and when he really enlightens, what he follows The rules will gradually be broken as he becomes enlightened.
Some things, although you need to fight for it yourself, but if you don't understand his rules and act rashly, before the matter starts, you may have lost more than half of it. Motang is just such a place, with its own rules of conduct, but everything must be adaptable, and timely adjustments should be made according to different occasions and different characters, in order to ensure the completion of one's own tasks.
As Li Tang's ideas continued to be constructed, the two also walked into the backyard of the Chu family smoothly. The haze in the sky was swept away by the scorching sun. Birds were standing on the branches and chirping, and a group of women were also playing in the backyard. In the distance, a young woman dressed plainly was removing weeds in the garden with a hoe. Zhao Xiaowu recognized it at a glance. Qing'er hurriedly shouted loudly.
It doesn't matter this shout, and Xiao Lanxin who was next to Qing'er found Li Tang, and the two walked towards this side with smiles, Zhao Xiaowu was full of joy, and Li Tang cursed at Xiao Lanxin When he resigned, Xiao Lan had no choice but to walk back full of resentment.
"Qing'er, is this job okay?" Li Tang asked.
"Mr. Li, life is not bad. It's just that I used to do chores at home. I haven't taken care of flowers and plants so carefully. It's a bit rusty. Thanks to sister Lan Xin who gave me advice, I didn't confuse the newly grown seedlings with weeds. .¡±
"Just get used to it. The Chu family has strict rules and does not support idlers. People who come to the Chu family have their own jobs to do. In the future, these flowers and plants will have to be taken care of by you, but you also have your privileges. These flowers and plants You can only take care of it, if other people come here to vent their anger and destroy the scenery, you can tell Chu Tianwen and ask him to help you."
"Then thank you, Young Master Li, and Young Master Chu."
"After a few days of busy work, I will ask Chu Tianwen to help you get married." Li Tang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed seeing the intimacy between the two in front of his eyes.
"Married?!" After hearing this sentence, Zhao Xiaowu's eyes almost popped out, as if it was some incredible news.
"Get married, what's the matter, the dowry has already been sent out, is it possible that you still want to take it back? Find an auspicious day in a few days, and let the two of you get married."
When Qing'er heard the news that he was going to marry Zhao Xiaowu, he covered his face shyly, while Zhao Xiaowu stepped forward and stood by Qing'er's side, the two of them exchanged glances, Li Tang's goosebumps fell all over the ground. Turn around and go to Xuan Tang, leave these two people and continue here Yingying Yanyan.
Wang Junshi still had so many files. Li Tang stood beside him and helped deal with a few, and then he explained his intentions. It happened that a first-class detective from Motang came to report on the work. After all the reports were over, Wang Junshi let him go down without any specific reassignment. This gave Li Tang an excellent opportunity to say hello to Wang Junshi. A first-class detective went to the backyard, explaining Zhao Xiaowu's character and the next job of the detective along the way.
It turned out that when Li Tang left just now, Qing'er was worried that she would be rejected by the Chu family because of her lack of work, so she returned to the flower garden, leaving Zhao Xiaowu alone in the sun waiting for Li Tang's return. Zhao Xiaowu was not familiar with the Chu family, and he didn't know where he could go or where he couldn't go, so he had to stand and wait. At this time, he was already sweating profusely, and the clothes on his back were firmly stuck to his body.
Seeing Li Tang coming, he ran over in a hurry. Li Tang dropped the hand of the first-class detective into Zhao Xiaowu's hand, and immediately announced the identities of the two. The detective, as a teacher, was responsible for teaching Zhao Xiaowu how to act. By the way, the detective is responsible for teaching him some kung fu. As an apprentice, Zhao Xiaowu's current main job is to follow the detective and learn his skills from himself.
The two of them looked at each other, a turbulent apprenticeship ceremony ended in such a hasty manner, Li Tang looked at the puzzled faces of the two, and left here satisfied, leaving the rest to the two of them.
Just at this time, a person suddenly came from outside the door, saying that he was looking for Li Tang, which made him very strange. Where did an outsider come to find him at this time? With a skeptical attitude, Li Tang came to the gate, only to see an old man with disheveled clothes appearing in front of him. Li Tang cautiously stepped forward to ask who that person was, and he only recognized it when he walked up to the old man. The appearance of that person turned out to be the housekeeper of the Zheng family.
Before Li Tang could ask a question, Steward Zheng bumped into Li Tang's arms, Li Tang held him in his arms, and Steward Zheng whispered in Li Tang's arms, "Master Li, my young master has something important to discuss with you, and I hope You can go there for the sake of your face."
Li Tang was puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Butler Zheng, why do you look like this? Is something wrong with the Zheng family?"
Guanshi Zheng closed his eyes slightly, feeling sad and worried, and nodded with difficulty.The young master of the family has something important to discuss with you, and I hope you will pay me a visit. "
Li Tang was puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Butler Zheng, why do you look like this? Is something wrong with the Zheng family?"
Guanshi Zheng closed his eyes slightly, feeling sad and worried, he nodded with difficulty.
