Chapter 581 I have a guest
Seeing Li Ran's seriousness suddenly, Gong Eryue couldn't help being surprised.
Li Ran took a deep breath, and then said:
"Yue, when Guang'er saw you, she was still young. It was really offensive to call you the second mother... Now that I think about it, it is very inappropriate. Before... the reason why I didn't correct you , because she had just experienced the pain of losing her mother at that time."
"But...you have been called this way all the time, you will inevitably not be criticized by others in the future, and your reputation will be damaged by then. So..."
Before Li Ran finished speaking, Gong Eryue didn't take it seriously:
"Sir, Yue was really scared. Yue thought she was rejected by her husband. It turned out that Mr. was worried about this matter? Mr. You are too worried. What do other people's words matter to me? As long as Guang'er is happy , why not have a bad reputation? Besides, I am living a happy life now, so why bother me?"
Gong Eryue is a woman from a certain tribe in the Yue Kingdom, and she takes these things very lightly.
During this period of time, many people called her Madam, but she didn't feel anything, let alone Guang'er called her "Second Mother".
However, between Gong Eryue and Li Ran, there is certainly some ignorant affection.Li Ran was even more in a trance because of this, but the two of them never really pierced this layer of window paper.
Coupled with Gong Eryue's stubborn personality and a proud and arrogant person, there are always people who think that Li Ran regards her as a substitute for festival music, which naturally makes Gong Eryue even more difficult to say about it.
Even Chu Dang, who is as close as a best friend, often mentioned this matter openly, Gong Eryue never gave him a good face.
Li Ran looked at Gong Eryue and was silent for a moment.
"Yue, you haven't left the cabinet yet, and you have no name or distinction with me. It's really inappropriate to call you like that..."
Li Ran also made up his mind and insisted on making this matter clear.
Gong Eryue heard the words, but she didn't want to entangle Li Ran in this matter:
"As long as Guang'er is happy, as long as this girl is happy, what's the point?"
I saw Gong Eryue hastily put down a word, then turned and walked out:
Seeing Gong Eryue's performance like this, Li Ran sighed inwardly. He wanted to catch up, but he didn't have the courage.
So, he could only shake his head helplessly, and followed her.
Gong Eryue's heart was pounding, and she didn't know how to face this situation. After walking for a while, she felt that it was not safe for Li Ran to walk behind, so she slowed down, and the two walked side by side with a distance of two feet. .
No matter how good Li Ran's speaking skills are, he doesn't know how to speak again about this matter.
In this extremely embarrassing atmosphere, the two returned to Li's Mansion in Xinglin.
And Kong Qiu summoned his disciples to hold a banquet. In order to make Li Ran more comfortable, Kong Qiu deliberately did not invite Sanhuan and other ministers, only Kong Qiu himself and his disciples attended.
In the evening, Li Ran took Fan Li to the banquet, because Li's mansion itself was within Xinglin, and the place of the banquet was only a few steps away. In order to avoid embarrassment, Gong Eryue still brought Li Guang in the mansion and did not follow him. go.
After Li Ran and Fan Li arrived at the place, they saw the cooks coming in and out preparing various ingredients, and above the main hall, bells, drums and orchestras were also indispensable.
Confucius has also taken in many disciples recently, including Duanmu Ci, Gong Liangru, Ran Qiu, Yan Hui and other disciples.
There were so many people, everyone stood up and saluted when they saw Li Ran.
Li Ran couldn't help laughing and said:
"Zhong Ni is bothering you, but there is no need to be so grand!"
Confucius said with a smile:
"Hehe, because many of these disciples have never met Engong, this is also an opportunity for them to see, what is the unicorn of the world?!"
Li Ran received this praise, so it was inconvenient to say more for a while, he just smiled and said:
"Why should Zhong Ni be overly modest? Zhong Ni is now a great sage in the world, and such words make Li Ran ashamed."
Duan Muci and Fan Li seemed to be very familiar with each other. In their spare time, they did business together, especially the trade of goods between countries.Therefore, as long as they sit together, they will have endless topics to talk about.
Li Ran was sitting beside Kong Qiu, only listening to Kong Qiu cupping his hands and saying:
"Engong, this time the battle of Ji Clan's High Terrace, the monarch highly respects you, so you want to let you serve as an official in the Lu Kingdom, but I don't know... does Engong have any intentions?"
Hearing this, Li Ran shook his head:
"I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate. Although Li Ran lives in Lu State now, he is still living in Lu State as a guest of Zhou Zong Taishi. However, if he becomes an official in Lu State, wouldn't his status be messed up? What's more, Zhong Ni is now in Lu State. In the country, most of the success of the three capitals has been achieved, and it can be said that the achievements are remarkable. Now, the Lu country is united, and there is a sense of "great harmony"! Whether Li Ran is an official or not is irrelevant to the Lu country."
When Confucius heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.
In fact, he also knew that no matter whether Li Ran became an official or not, he would not sit idly by whenever something happened to Lu State.
However, if an outsider like Li Ran really went to a certain country to become a high official, he would really be suspected of being overqualified.
It would be better to let him get out of the world so that he can control the overall situation better.
"Although that's the case... But the monarch, I'm afraid it will take a little more talking."
Li Ran said:
"Hehe, then please Zhongni spend more time."
Kong Qiu smiled slightly and raised his wine cup:
"Come on, Lord Qiu Jingen!"
Li Ran returned the salute and drank the wine in his glass. Kong Qiu wiped his mouth and said again:
"Now there is only Chengyi in Sanyi. The matter of falling into Feiyi, there is a way to deal with it properly. And Mengsun Heji has recently ordered Gong Lianyang to demolish the city wall."
"Speaking of this Gong Lianyang, not long ago he led troops to rescue him, but now he has withdrawn his troops, saying that he is about to deal with this matter."
"But I don't know what benefactor thinks? This lord Lianyang will agree so easily?"
After hearing this, Li Ran shook his head:
"This person has ulterior motives. Just like what we said on the high platform before, Gong Lianyang has always had a heart of disobedience. However, he can clearly see the fate of Liyi and Feiyi, so it depends on this person. What is the purpose!"
Kong Qiu also said helplessly:
"Hmm... What Engong said is very true. The only way out now is to wait and see what happens!"
At this time, Confucius' disciples toasted to Li Ran one after another. Li Ran drank several cups one after another, and was already slightly drunk.
Seeing this, Fan Li came to Li Ran's side and said in a low voice:
"Mister is too strong to drink, it's better to drink less!"
In fact, Li Ran was already a little drunk. Although his brain was still awake, he became even more excited.
After all, the "Three Capitals" project that he single-handedly planned at the moment is about to be completed, and he is naturally a little happy.
Seeing that it was rare for Li Ran to enjoy himself so much, Confucius also said from the sidelines:
"Hehe, don't worry, young uncle! It's rare to be so happy today, so there's no need for young uncle to be such a disappointment!"
"Since I met Engong, I have never seen Engong with such interest! Today, everyone in Xinglin is a gentleman, so why not come back with Engong without getting drunk?!"
Fan Li was very happy to see everyone, so it was inconvenient to spoil everyone's happiness.So, he returned to his seat, and Duanmu Ci raised a lamp to him and said:
"Brother Shao, although you and I have met several times, there are not always opportunities to drink like this. It's rare that everyone is so happy today. It's okay to drink more!"
Fan Li also smiled slightly, and under the unfathomable hospitality, he also held up a lamp and said:
"Well, brother Zigong, please!"
Fan Li and Duan Muci met each other, and drank the wine in one gulp...
At this time, Yan Hui also held up his lamp and came to Li Ran:
"Sir, disciple Yan Hui, because of the fact that he has met him several times, but he has never had a conversation with him. This disciple deeply regrets it. I dare to respect you today."
Li Ran's drunken eyes were slightly smoked, and he glanced at Yan Hui:
"Oh, it's Ziyuan! Water comes from the ground but doesn't flow. The name of fate is Yuan. You have Hui in your name. Huiyuan is a whirlpool and torrent. So Ziyuan must remember to stay away from the water in the future! Otherwise, it may be life-threatening. No problem!"
As soon as Li Ran's words came out, everyone present couldn't help being dumbfounded for a while.
