Chapter 87: Forced kiss

"Is it good to get engaged?" Seeing Tang Li's expression of seeing a ghost, Li Tengjiao giggled and said, "It was also the same time two years ago. I saw that the fourth sister was engaged, and there were many people coming. The fourth sister was wearing very beautiful clothes, and there were also many strange things sent by others."

After hearing Li Tengjiao say this, Tang Li could only be speechless. Although he already knew the answer, he couldn't help rubbing his nose and asked, "Who are you engaged to?"

"With me!" When saying this, there was nothing abnormal on Li Tengjiao's face.

"No!", almost subconsciously said this sentence, Tang Li then straightened up and said, "You are a monk, how could your father have such a ridiculous idea?"

"I don't want to stay in Yuzhen Temple at all!", looking at the Taoist costume on his body with dissatisfaction, Li Tengjiao muttered, "It's so ugly!", and then he started to speak, "Last time the host of the temple let me go home, and asked me to plead with my father for you, Daddy refused, and said that he would definitely catch you, so I kept crying. I knew he was most afraid of me crying. Later, he agreed, and later he had this idea."

"Do you know what it means to engage in? What do you think of such a big thing?" Tang Li, who was anxious in his heart, didn't care about gratitude at all.

"It's good to get engaged! After getting engaged, I don't have to live in Yuzhenguan in the mountains anymore. I can wear whatever I want and play around like my fifth sister. It's better than now." Li Tengjiao said with a slight brow, and suddenly looked at Tang Li and said, "By the way. Do you think the single 30-fold gold skirt looks good, or the one-piece palace dress looks good, is the lake green or the goose yellow one?"

"Stop making trouble!" Tang Li, whose forehead veins jumped, couldn't help but shout loudly, "What about getting married?"

"Why are you yelling? I saved you two days ago!" Li Tengjiao snorted and said, "Only after getting engaged, I can no longer wear this ugly dress and get married! I saw a few sisters who have made it. I just kowtow and then live together! Anyway, I don't hate you, so I get married! Besides, there are many beautiful clothes to wear, and I can also use big food rouge, and I can see many strange things from Southeast Asia, and many people can come. It's very lively..." Later, little stars began to emerge from her eyes full of longing.

Li Tengjiao was weak as soon as he was born. Most of Li Linfu was afraid that she would not be able to support her. In order to submit to the favor of the emperor who worshipped Tao, the youngest lady in the prime minister wanted to help her grow up smoothly. Therefore, this youngest lady in the prime minister's mansion grew up in the mountains as a child. In the year, she was rarely able to come out except for the New Year and occasional opportunities. She was favored since childhood and grew up in such an environment. Although she is now fourteen or fifteen years old, her heart is as pure as a child. For engagement and marriage, she only has the sensory knowledge she sees on her daily life, but she does not understand the true meaning.

Seeing that, she couldn't tell her clearly. Tang Li was too lazy to talk, leaning against the wall of the car to think about the possible scene after seeing Li Linfu later. However, Li Tengjiao kept swaying his fingers and talking to himself. The Persian Hu family in the two cities of Chang'an tasted the most fragrant. The skirt was the most beautiful. It seemed that she had indeed inquired a lot about this.

The scallion oil cart moved forward with a sound of scatteredness. After it stopped again, Tang Li, who had got off the car, saw the huge Li-shaped lantern on the lintel of the vermilion gate.

"Hurry up and put the black fox fur on the lady! Xiao Cui, you are so stupid, why are you stupid? Come and bring the ginseng tea simmered in the doorman to the lady!" As soon as Li Tengjiao of the carriage showed his head, he saw a woman about thirty-year-old woman rushing out of the doorman.

He tightly wrapped the black fire fur coat on Li Tengjiao. The woman sighed and said, "What a cold day. Why did you go out with such thin clothes? If you are cold, your wife will not feel sorry for you. What should we servants explain?" As she spoke, she handed over the ginseng tea that was steaming.

"Put one for Tang Li too." After taking the tea cup, Li Tengjiao pointed at Tang Li beside him.

"Tang Li!" After muttering a sentence, the woman suddenly laughed and said, "Looking at my eyesight, I can't recognize anyone anymore. Even Mr. Tang didn't recognize me. Please forgive me." After saying this with apologized smile, she turned her head and said, "A girl who is trying to die did not hear the lady's order. Why don't you hurry up and serve ginseng tea to the master."

Although he had known that Guisheng's family in the Tang Dynasty had this custom and had a cup of tea at the gatehouse when he went out to return home, Tang Li had never met him before. At this time, he saw Li Tengjiao returning home, and five or six servants were waiting in the gatehouse, which made him have a more intuitive understanding of the temperament of the prime minister's mansion.

Seeing a little girl in green holding a teacup handed over, Tang Li smiled at her slightly, took it casually, drank it in two mouthfuls in a gurgling sound, turned to Li Tengjiao and said, "Let's go, take me to see your father."

"Drinking tea is like a cow!", giggled, Li Tengjiao handed the teacup as he said, and led Tang Li to the door of the mansion.

"In Yuzhen Temple, everyone is older than me, and it's still comfortable at home! This time, I'm unwilling to go back!" Li Tengjiao's casual words while walking made Tang Li furious again.

It took two incense sticks to take seven turns and eight turns, and Tang Li was taken to an elegant room.

"This is Dad's study. He is not allowed to be there when he meets guests here. I'll leave first." Waving his hand, Li Tengjiao actually left.

"Study! It seems that Li Linfu really doesn't treat himself as an outsider." He said in his heart. Thinking about seeing this generation of powerful traitors who have left their eternal infamous, Tang Li couldn't help but feel a little excited.

When he pushed the door open, there was a fire dragon on the plate. The warm study room was empty. Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief. The room was filled with books and couldn't help but a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips. There were hundreds of people who had been the prime minister for three hundred years in the Tang Dynasty, but the one who was the worst at reading was Li Linfu. A joke rumored now is that the cousin of the chief minister had a new son. The congratulatory letter sent by the leader of the Political Affairs Hall clearly wrote the four words "Happy to make deer". He demoted a fat boy to a beast in the mountains and fields, and there were still many other jokes like this. It was just such a person who created such an elegant study room.

"You are Tang Li"

Tang Li, who was looking around at the study room, turned around and saw an old man about 60 years old walking into the entrance of the study room. The old man with a hint of gorgeous hair on his temples was tall, with a clear face, and the three long beards under his jaw were neatly combed neatly, making him look darker and brighter because of the slight oil. The eyes of the boy in the study room were full of warm smiles. If it weren't for the momentum he had developed for a long time, Li Linfu would have naturally emanated like a charming old scholar.

In later history books, I saw words such as despicable and vicious when describing Li Linfu. Now that I have seen the real person, Tang Li didn't expect that he would have such a handsome appearance. After a moment of stunnedness, he smiled faintly and bowed: "Tang Li, a tribute student from Shannanba, has met the Chief Auxiliary."

Because Li Linfu was wearing regular home clothes, Tang Li also spared the gift he should have received.

While Tang Li was observing Li Linfu, the powerful chief minister had also carefully looked Tang Li up and down.

It is not necessary to say that Tang Li's handsome appearance, but what made Li Linfu more interested was the calmness of the boy in front of him when he saw him.

Although like other people who first met him, Tang Li's eyes also showed shock at that moment. There was no doubt that his small loss of composure quickly, and the calmness that followed was so prominent.

Because Li Linfu was in charge of the government today, he had been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and was extremely ruthless and cruel. These two reasons were mixed. Even the officials of the six ministries or the masters, who were both careful when they saw him, fearing that they would make mistakes, let alone other people who had not yet become officials.

Over the years, Li Linfu has seen many people's expressions when they first met him. Some were surprised, some were desires, and of course many were disdain and even hatred. However, few were as calm as Tang Li in front of him. This kind of calmness seemed particularly rare and valuable when it appeared in a fifteen-year-old boy.

"Young man is not frivolous, and it is really rare to be calm when encountering things." After saying a word in his heart, Li Linfu, who was smiling, nodded slightly, walked to the room and sat down.

"Why do these big guys like to play this game?" Seeing that Li Linfu sat down but didn't speak, only staring at him with his eyes tightly, Tang Li couldn't help but say to himself. It's just that from later generations, there was no strong sense of superiority in the hearts of people at the time. In addition, he didn't have much affection for the people in front of him, so naturally he couldn't say awe. Therefore, except for the surprise of the contrast between his image just now, he didn't feel much more. It was reflected in his face, which was a kind of slight calmness.

This time, Li Linfu looked at him for half a cup of tea. Seeing that Tang Li was not surprised or anxious, his expression on his face was as calm as before, and his appreciation in his heart became stronger. So he smiled and withdrew his gaze, waved his hand and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Master Zheng," and bowed his hand again, Tang Li sat down casually.

"It's not easy to ask you to come today. Seeing that the imperial examination period is approaching, you and Jiaoer will settle the matter! I will take you to see your wife later, and you won't have to worry about the rest. You won't be wronged." Li Linfu has already known Tang Li's situation at this time. Since his talent, appearance, and style are all in line with his wishes, he no longer goes around in circles and speaks these words directly. Although his tone is light, the meaning is that it cannot be disobeyed.

"Why do you want your family to be successful without any achievements?" Seeing that Li Linfu did not exchange any greetings and went straight to the point, Tang Li also saved a lot of clichés and directly brought out the excuse he had thought of when he came.

He looked at Tang Li with a playful look. Li Linfu smiled relievedly and said, "If you start a family and start a business, you can't make a career? Now you have a marriage first. After two months, the next exam will be released, and the two are happy to pass the exam. Only when you get married can you feel at ease to do your business for the court. It will be natural to establish a career in the future."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and Tang Li replied: "My mother is far away in Shannan. My marriage is really a big deal, but I can't do it myself."

It seemed that he hadn't expected that Tang Li would even make excuses after he said what he had just said. Li Linfu was slightly surprised and then smiled more and more warmly: "It's okay. It doesn't take much time to come to Beijing from Jinzhou to ship to the post."

After his original intention, Tang Li really doesn't want to offend Li Linfu now, but since he pressed him step by step, Tang Li sighed in his heart in helplessness. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Li Tengjiao suddenly jumping in outside the study door...
