Chapter 500 Distant Relatives

Di Zhixun always knew very well that if Liu Yifan had not had the outstanding performance in the Ministry of Rites this time, if Liu Yifan had not attracted the great attention of the emperor and he had directly asked Liu Yifan to go from Di Mansion to the palace to serve as the prince's teacher, he would not have also attracted the attention of the emperor, as the chief of Kuizhou who was far away in Shu.

It can be said that Liu Yifan gave him an opportunity, an opportunity to show his talents and political achievements in front of the emperor. He has been in Kuizhou for eleven years, and isn’t everything he did just for this opportunity?

The opportunity was rare, but fortunately Di Zhixun seized it. He jumped to the third level in a row, jumped directly from a fifth-rank chief to the Secretariat, which was equivalent to running to the emperor to plan things.

Although it was mostly because of Di Zhixun's diligent efforts over the years, if it were not for the opportunity that Liu Yifan had brought to him in Chang'an, Di Zhixun would not know how many cold and cold hectares would have to endure in Kuizhou to win the emperor's reverence.

After being an official for decades, Di Zhixun knew very well that it was not enough to seek an official and pursue his own efforts. What you have done must have the opportunity to let the officials and the emperor see. A person's opportunities and luck are sometimes very important.

Therefore, Di Zhixun, who is now the Minister of the Secretariat, was very grateful to Brother Liu Yifan in his heart and kept thinking about how to thank him after he arrived in Chang'an.

"It's a pity that Mr. Yifan has been attracted by the emperor. He is teaching all the princes to study and read in the palace, and there is not much time to do so. Otherwise, this time he will return to Chang'an and directly ask Mr. Yifan to serve as the palace's palace, or directly take Mr. Yifan to his disciples and find a job first, which is good." Feeling that the light outside was a little dazzling, Di Zhixun reached out to pull the curtains and sighed softly from his mouth.

"The master said it's right," Dilu echoed, "I didn't realize it when Brother Liu was there before, but since he left the mansion and went to Chang'an after the New Year, Renjie and Shijie have not been settled for a day in the past few months. None of the gentlemen invited to them can completely suppress them like Mr. Liu. In just four months, it is really a headache to replace three in the mansion with Mr. Li."

"There is also Mrs. Liu who is good at needlework and is about the same age as the girl Zhizhi. She can still talk to Zhizhi. If she can be invited to teach Zhizhi, Zhizhi will not be so crazy anymore." When talking about her precious daughter, Dilu couldn't help frowning. Last time Dilu pretended to be injured and flew away, Dilu's mood was still a little unhappy.

"What the wife said is, but Mr. Yifan is now working for the emperor, so how can he be time to discipline Xiaojie and the others? Even if he is promoted to Secretariat for his husband, he has no courage to compete with the emperor, right?" Di Zhixun shook his head lightly and said, "There is also Mrs. Liu who has given birth safely now. There are newly born children around him to take care of. How can he take time to teach Zhizhi's girl? Zhizhi's girl should do more trouble."

Although Liu Yifan still has no fame and fortune, he is still an ordinary citizen, but he is still the teacher of the princess and princesses. He can wander in front of the emperor and the empress every day and see the beauty of heaven. Although his status is not high, not everyone can afford it.

"Well, I know these things." Dilu nodded lightly, looked at Di Zhixun, and spoke, "Master, Zhizhi is also very old now. This time I return to the old house in Chang'an, why not just find a family member for this girl from those family friends?"

"Well, I have this idea for my husband, but," Di Zhixun looked at his wife with a little bit of disgrace and said, "This girl Zhizhi has been used to being crazy since she was a child, and she often whips her fists and feet. Where can I find a wishful husband who can subdue her?"

Di Zhixun loved this precious daughter from the bottom of his heart, and could not bear to see her suffer any grievances. He had long thought that he could find a suitable husband for her earlier. However, this girl has a hot temper and a little hot temper, which not everyone can tolerate. It is not easy to find a wishful husband for Zhizhi who she is happy and can tolerate.

"If you can't do literary, aren't you still martial? Don't you have some juniors of the right age in the Duke of Yi, Duke of Lu, and General Gongsun's mansion? "Did Di Lu bring some tea to Di Zhixun and whispered: "If you can't do it, choose one from them, and your skills are quite different, and you will definitely not be much worse than Zhizhi's fancy moves. If you can choose such a son-in-law, it would be great."

"Two very good children," Luo Xiang sent Liu Yi's family out of the mansion. In the inner hall where the night banquet had just held, Luo Qi wrapped tea bowls in his hands, looked at Liu Yi and Zhang Chuchu and the others leaving, and said softly to Luo Tong: "You know the etiquette and understand the manners, have a good temperament, and are very good."

"Mom is right. My sister and Yifan's brother are indeed good," said Luo Tong, sitting next to me, and he picked up a bowl of tea and said to Luo Qi: "Especially, Yifan's brother, is calm and straightforward, neither humble nor arrogant, and does not look like a sour scholar who teaches. His temperament, a harmonious temperament, is very good."

"Well," Luo Qi nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at Luo Tong, and asked softly: "Tong'er, have you ever had a fight with Yi Fan in the martial arts hall before? Judging from your appearance and your attitude towards Yi Fan, you must have suffered a lot of blows, right?"

"Uh? Mom, do you see it?" Luo Tong looked up at Luo Qi unexpectedly, sat upright with some embarrassment, and said, "As my mother said, when he was performing martial arts hall, Tong had competed with Yifan's virtuous brother, but Tong was inferior to others and was defeated by Yifan's virtuous brother."

Although it was a defeat, Luo Qi did not hear any frustration in Luo Tong's words. Not only that, but in his son's eyes, Old Mrs. Luo even saw some desires.

"Although my mother is weak and has never practiced martial arts, she used to see her father practicing at home, but she still has some eyesight." Luo Qi put down the tea bowl and looked at Luo Tong and said, "Since you brought Yifan in from the martial arts hall, I found that you were a little unnatural when you waved your arms. And when you looked at Yifan, you had a little more respect in your eyes than before. This is very rare for you."

It is far from being able to make his son value and respect him so much, just with Liu Yifan's literary talent, a few songs, and his identity as his sister-in-law. So based on his understanding of his son, Luo Qi naturally thought of another possibility, that is, Liu Yifan must have a good martial arts.

"My mother said it," Luo Tong looked up at me and said, "My brother Yifan does have good martial arts, but he doesn't seem to want too many people to know about it. Therefore, I hope my mother can hide this matter on her behalf, so don't spread it, so as not to cause any trouble to Brother Yifan."

"My mother knows these things. What should we say and what should not be said? I have a clue in my heart. Don't worry." Luo Qi looked at Luo Tong lovingly and said, "No matter what, I really like your sister and Baoer. We are a couple. As soon as we met, my mother felt that Xinqi was like a mother and daughter in our previous life. Since we recognized her, we will be a family in the future, and my mother will not harm them."

"The sister who is good is really likable," Luo Tong echoed: "Also, Yifan's sister-in-law is also good."

Although I have never tried Liu Yi's attainment in weapons, Luo Tong could feel his excellence just from his fists and feet, and was thinking in his heart when he could find another opportunity to compete with Liu Yifan again.

"Well, by the way, I heard Luo Xiang mention that your cousin will return to Chang'an in a few days. You can be careful in the past few days and prepare some gifts. When their family is back, you can go and visit it." Luo Qi said softly: "In recent years, our Luo Di family has divided their own things and has few contacts. Take advantage of this opportunity to get together for a good time. If possible, please ask your cousin's family to come to our mansion. I haven't met for more than ten years, and my mother is also thinking about it."

"I understand, mom, Tong'er has written it down." Luo Tong nodded and responded. Luo Tong didn't have much impression of the cousin in his mother's mouth. After all, the relatives are distant, and the two families are too far apart. They have not been in contact for more than ten years. Now, the relationship between the two families has become a little indifferent. Moreover, in his head, Luo Tong no longer remembers his cousin's appearance.

"When it comes to my cousin, I'm afraid I'm already fifty-year this year. I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I don't know how he has become now." Thinking of the past of old friends, Luo Qi couldn't help but feel a little moved. In the blink of an eye, they were still old in their prime.
