Remodeling the World Remodeling Myth

Chapter 86

Taiwei Mansion!
"What, you said that young master has gone to Li Gefei's house!" Gao Qiu exclaimed, looking at the messenger outside the door with a look of surprise on his face.

"The villain will definitely not be mistaken, the carriage is indeed parked outside Li's residence." The boy who sent the message was serious, and he almost swore.That firm look gave Gao Li a little more trust.

It's just, Li Mansion!
Gao Qiu lowered his head and walked back and forth in the living room frowning.

Gao Qiu is no stranger to Li Gefei, and it can even be said that the friendship between the two is quite good.In the past, when Li Gefei encountered difficulties, Gao Li also extended a helping hand more than once.

But when it comes to the relationship between the two, it's more complicated.

I think that Gao Li was a small official under Su Shi at the beginning, and later Su Shi introduced him to other nobles when he was transferred abroad, and this also played a huge role in Gao Li's later rise.Therefore, after Gao Qiu became prosperous, he never dared to forget Su Shi's kindness at the beginning. He not only took good care of Su Shi's family, but also extended a helping hand to his disciples when they were in trouble.

As Su Shi's disciple, Li Gefei had no conflict of interest with Gao Qiu in court, and the two became a little closer because of this relationship.

"Prepare the carriage, I want to go to the Li Mansion myself." Gao Qiu pondered for a moment, and then seriously ordered.

Zhao Ji ordered him to find out the details of Zhang Shang's background. Now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, Gao Qiu must not miss it.He will never forget that his current glory and wealth are all rewarded by someone.

"Okay, master, please wait a moment." A housekeeper in a fine attire whispered respectfully.

"Wait, this trip must not be ostentatious, and prepare another generous gift." Before the butler walked out of the hall, Gao Qiu suddenly spoke again, making the butler stunned.

Prepare a generous gift!
Li Gefei is just a Yuanwailang from the fifth grade, and Gao Taiwei is one of the three princes in the dynasty, a big man who can be counted.There is no reason why the Taiwei should prepare a heavy gift when he visits the little Yuanwailang.

The butler didn't know what was going on, and his expression was stiff and full of doubts.But after all, he was the housekeeper of a big family, so he quickly realized it, and responded with a surprised voice in his heart.

And things like this didn't just happen in Gao Taiwei's mansion.

The Crown Prince Donggong, and even Cai Jing, who was busy welcoming Chongyang real person, also got the news one after another.

Li's house, the living room.

Li Gefei looked at the handsome and extraordinary Zhang Shang happily, put his hands on his shoulders, and said excitedly: "Okay, Shang'er has grown up."

"Disciple Bairen, I have met my mentor." Zhang Shang said respectfully.

Although Li Gefei only taught him the enlightenment, but this era pays attention to being a teacher for one day and being a father for life, not to mention that the two families are family friends, and the relationship between Zhang Shang and Li Qingzhao is unclear, so he must not lose etiquette.

"Master, it's true, Shang'er is a guest from afar, why don't you sit down quickly." Mrs. Wang looked at Zhang Shang with a smile, her expression was not as excited as Li Gefei's, but just an ordinary expression of courtesy.

After several people sat down, Li Gefei sat at the head seat above the living room, and Zhang Shang sat three steps away from his left.As for Mrs. Wang, although she is a teacher's wife, she is indeed not even qualified to sit down at this time, so she can only stand beside Li Gefei.

"I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring any precious gifts. Please don't mind a little bit of kindness." Zhang Shang half-sit on the chair, and said gently just now.As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Yan walked in from the door gracefully, holding a deep red delicate wooden box about one foot long and wide in his hand.

Li Gefei glanced at Tian Yan, then turned to look at the exquisite wooden box, frowned slightly displeased, and reprimanded: "You child, come here as soon as you come, what gifts do you bring? Take all these things back, otherwise Shibo can only chase away the guests."

Zhang Shang was born in a family of merchants, and in recent years the Zhang family's business has grown bigger and bigger. Even Li Gefei has heard of it more than once in Kaifeng.So he had to doubt the purpose of Zhang Shang's gift and the preciousness of the other party's gift.Now Li Gefei's situation in Kaifeng is not good, and he doesn't want to make extra troubles at this joint.

The most important question, he is afraid that others will criticize it, and it may even implicate the Zhang family.

When Mrs. Wang saw Zhang Shang's gift, the look in her eyes became much gentler.When she heard Li Gefei's words, she couldn't help but angrily said: "The child is also interested, why are you scaring him? Besides, Shang'er is still your disciple, and she hasn't visited for many years. If you don't bring some gifts, you will let him What does the world think of him?"

Li Gefei glared at Mrs. Wang, but didn't wait for him to speak. Zhang Shang followed closely and said, "Men, you are too worried. Bai Ren knows that your mentor doesn't like yellow and white things, so he collected some ancient manuscripts as a small gift. In addition, I prepared some jewelry and gouache for Mistress and Qingzhao, and I also ask Mistress not to be offended."

Hearing this, Li Gefei relaxed a little.

Disciples send ancient manuscripts to mentors, no matter where they are, they can be justified.As long as it's not yellow and white, he really doesn't care much.As for the gouache jewelry that Zhang Shang prepared for his wife and Qingzhao, although Li Gefei frowned, he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, he is not one of those pedantic people who can't rub the sand in their eyes and don't know how to adapt.

Mrs. Wang heard that Zhang Shang had specially prepared a gift for herself, and her expression was a little more gentle, unlike the stylized coping at the beginning.

This child is sensible.

With these gifts, the atmosphere in the living room becomes more relaxed and cozy.In particular, Mrs. Wang was obviously more enthusiastic, calling the servants to bring tea and water from time to time.And Zhang Shang and Li Gefei also had a very happy chat.Especially when talking about Li Qingzhao's deeds in Chang'an these years, Li Gefei laughed from ear to ear.

Sometimes he is a little jealous, his daughter has far surpassed him in terms of talent and fame.Sometimes, he was quite sad, if Qingzhao was a man, his future achievements would definitely far exceed his own.

Li Gefei smiled while stroking his beard, and asked, "It's been a long time since Shang'er's homework was taken. I wonder if Shang'er has achieved fame now, and when will he come to Kaifeng to take the provincial exam."

Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial examination system has become a sharp tool for selecting talents in all dynasties, and the Song Dynasty not only inherited the imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but also perfected it on the basis of the ancient system.In this era, there were three levels of examinations in the imperial examination, namely the state examination, the provincial examination, and the palace examination.

Passing the state examination is considered as a juren, and passing the provincial examination is considered to have entered the officialdom. If you can win the first place in the palace examination, you will become famous all over the world as the number one scholar.

Zhang Shang was a little funny when he heard the words, but also a little helpless.

I am the biggest super BOSS in the world, okay? Earth-shaking is just a matter of thought, and I still need to take the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty?

He felt helpless, but he had to answer, and said in a low voice: "I have no intention of being an official, so I never took part in the imperial examination."

Li Gefei's face suddenly became gloomy, and he glared at Zhang Shang rather annoyedly, with a look of hating iron but not steel, and scolded: "Things that are useless."

Li Gefei had high expectations for Zhang Shang, so he was extremely annoyed when he thought that the disciple he valued did not have any fame at all.Among them, there is both anger at Zhang Shang's incompetence, and anger at him for being so unselfish and not knowing how to cherish him.

Zhang Shang was slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.

At this moment, Guanshi Liu ran in in a panic, and said anxiously, "My lord, Taiwei Gao is here to visit."

Captain Gao!
Li Gefei was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why Gao Taiwei came to him suddenly, but he hurriedly got up and went to greet him.
