Chapter 460 Bestow Words!
Ji Song glanced at Xue Li and did not speak immediately. Instead, he took out a set of exquisite tea sets and prepared to make tea.
"Why don't you light a fire? Why don't you have any eyesight?"
Looking at the stupid boy who was looking at his actions stupidly, Ji Song kicked him angrily.
"Huh? Oh!"
Hearing Ji Song's words, Xue Li reacted and suddenly blushed.
Whenever Ji Song couldn't make up his mind or felt irritable, he would make tea to relieve it. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but every time, it had a good effect.
He saw the depression in Xue Li's heart and thought of using this method to relax him.
It can be seen that Xue Li was still very innocent at this time. Although his life was difficult from birth to now, he had never experienced the setbacks of officialdom. This was the time when his heroic spirit flourished.
Watching Ji Song slowly making tea, his graceful and flowing movements made Xue Li, who was already a little hesitant, calm down a little.
"People, just make tea like this. Tea is a good thing. It absorbs the essence of heaven and earth and takes up the five elements and eight trigrams.
If you do the math, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth would be useless without , it has also suffered in the world, being exposed to wind, sun, rain, and finally being fried in an iron pot and soaked in boiling water. "
"Finally it can brew out its own aroma."
Then he looked at Xue Li who was in a daze and said, "Do you know why this is?"
Xue Li was at a loss. He didn't understand why his husband told him this?
Ji Song was silent, then suddenly smiled and said: "That's right, this method of making tea was passed down from my Hao Jie Hou Mansion, I'm afraid you don't know much about it either."
"Come on, try it!"
Seeing that he was a little embarrassed and at a loss, Ji Song smiled and said, "Follow me!"
He placed the tea cup in front of Xue Li and poured himself another cup. He held the cup and smelled it first, then slowly poured it into his mouth, savored it for a moment, and then swallowed it.
"Please!"
He made a gesture of invitation to Xue Li!
"promise!"
Xue Li is not pretentious, he looks like a scholar Ji Song.
After pouring it into his mouth, he frowned at first, but soon relaxed, and after a moment of aftertaste, he opened his eyes.
"How do you feel?" Ji Song asked.
He thought for a moment and then said: "The aroma of tea wakes you up, it's slightly bitter in the mouth, but it's a little sweet at the end!"
"Yes!"
Ji Song clapped his hands happily and said with a smile: "This is the life of tea from growing to drinking in our mouths. It has experienced ups and downs, swords and axes, water and fire, and only then does it have the sweetness behind it."
"Those who are promoted by tea, who have not experienced wind, rain, and fire, have no taste. Bitter first and then sweet is the taste of life."
Then he pointed at himself and smiled: "How do you feel about being a teacher?"
Xue Li was stunned and blurted out: "Sir, you are a role model for us!"
Ji Song looked at his admiring eyes and felt a little dumbfounded.
My former idol now regards me as my pursuit in life, how can I feel so happy!
"Then do you know my past?" Ji Song continued to ask.
This time Xue Li shook his head and asked puzzledly: "In the past?"
"I was born into a small family that was about to fall apart. At that time, there was great chaos in Guanzhong, and there were many bandits. I was in danger all day long. If it weren't for the protection of my parents and clansmen, I don't know if I would have lived and grown up!" Xue Li was a little confused. He didn't expect that. My husband has experienced this.
Thinking of this, he felt a little ashamed. Hedong and other places were considered to be rare stable places. The place where the Tang Dynasty started, it was also the first place to settle down in the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty. Basically, it had not experienced any wars.
Although he and his mother had a difficult time when he was young, he never experienced war or precarious life.
Compared to my husband, I am lucky.
Ji Song's expression was a little scattered, as if he was lost in memories.
"In the end, my father joined Zuo Xiaowei, and his life became stable. But when I was five years old, I was told that he was tortured to death by Turks."
When he said this, his face was full of ferocity, and his body was filled with extremely strong murderous aura. Even the bold Xue Li felt horrified. How many people would have to be killed!
"From then on, I studied martial arts diligently, read well, and if I didn't understand, I would write it on a wooden board. When I had the opportunity, I would ask others for advice. It was not until I became literate that I had the opportunity to come into contact with the inheritance of the clan."
Xue Li heard someone say this. It seems that he was a member of the Tao Kingdom. He lived in seclusion in the Qinling Mountains in his early years and did not move out until the Pre-Qin Dynasty. It was only a hundred years ago!
"When I was 15 years old, the Turks marched south and marched to the Weishui River. By chance, I learned that the enemy was leading the army. I personally killed the enemy's leader alone. Finally, my great revenge was avenged, and I was later granted the title of Marquis of Jiehou County!"
Then he looked at Xue Li who was a little horrified and said: "I am in charge of Sinong Temple, opened millions of acres of wasteland, and marched north to the Turkic royal court. This is how I have achieved my current achievements."
"I'm telling you this, not to show off, but to tell you that I am interceding with His Majesty for you. It is me who sees myself in you. You are brave enough that no man can be worthy of you. Now you are also studying military tactics in the academy. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the future will be limitless.”
"My teacher cannot let you be ruined by just gunpowder. If you are really grateful to me, then completely forget about the gunpowder. That is not something you can touch now."
"In the future, even my descendants and wives will not reveal anything. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be killed. Remember!"
Xue Li was speechless. He could hear his husband's earnestness, but could he really do it? Ji Song didn't think about his answer and continued: "I have promised your majesty about this matter, and nothing will happen to you for the time being!"
"From now on, study hard and practice martial arts. If you don't understand anything, just come and ask me. Only I know, and I will never hide it. I also know about your mother. If you write a letter of divorce, I will send someone to pick her up. Yes, you can buy a few acres of land at the foot of the mountain and settle down from now on!"
Xue Li looked at Ji Song excitedly and said in disbelief: "Really?"
Ji Song smiled and nodded.
"Thank you sir!"
After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed.
"Get up quickly! Actually, you don't have to thank me for bringing your mother to Chang'an. I believe you also know the reason for this, so just let this matter sink in!"
Xue Li was stunned and said with difficulty: "Student understands!"
Ji Song nodded and said: "Be careful when doing things in the future. Anything that appears out of season will be a disaster. I hope you will remember it!"
He didn't react until Ji Song sent Xue Li out of the room. What happened today was a bit cruel to him, but wasn't it the price of doing something wrong? "gentlemen!"
Just when Ji Song was about to turn around and leave, he heard Xue Li's voice and looked back at him in confusion.
"The student is already eighteen years old, but he still has no words and no elders. Sir is the teacher of Li. Please give me the words!"
He looked at Ji Song nervously, as if he was worried about being rejected! But Ji Song smiled. It seemed that he underestimated this kid. There is no simple person who can leave his name in history. This is reflected in his reaction!
"The Master said: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust. Your name is: Li. As the saying goes: propriety comes first, benevolence is the most precious. Just call it benevolence and noble!"
Xue Li's eyes lit up and he murmured: "Rengui? Then I will call you Xue Li, Xue Rengui from now on!"
"Thank you sir, student, please resign!"
He bowed respectfully to Ji Song and then left quickly.
"What a smart boy!"
Ji Song saw his leaving figure, shook his head with a smile, and returned to the room humming an unknown ditty.
