Chen Yixiu and his daughter are still there. I heard that Li Xu has now become a sixth-rank official and has received a lot of rewards from the emperor. I also came forward to congratulate him.

Even the shy little quail Shen Yufu blushed and lowered her head to Li Xu to congratulate him. Although the voice was small, Li Xu still heard it clearly.

He reached out to rub the little quail's head, but found Chen Yixiu staring at him. Li Xu was embarrassed to reach out to his hand, and he took it back and touched his nose awkwardly, turned his head and smiled and ordered the little secretary to give him silver ingots.

Li Qin said that she had ordered chef Chen Hansheng to prepare food and drinks. Everyone held a celebration banquet for Li Xu tonight. Li Xu agreed with a smile and gave chef Chen Hansheng an additional silver ingot. Chen Hansheng was so happy that he couldn't help but thank him.

He said that he was following the county magistrate, and he was happily returning to the kitchen with money and preparing to go.

When everyone left, Li Qin came to Li Xu and whispered: "Second brother, should you go back to tell Er Niang and Dad about such a big thing?"

Er Niang is naturally Li Xu's biological mother.

Li Xu had never seen this mother before.

When my original body was two years old, my mother disappeared, and the two-year-old child had no memories, let alone any feelings.

But he happened to want to go back and discuss some of the next arrangements with Tan Lun in person, so he nodded and said, "You're more careful, I'll go back in the next two days. Why don't you go back together to have a look?"

Li Qin hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and finally shook her head and said, "Since I'm out, I don't want to go back. Since my second brother promised to leave a way out for my mother and elder brother, I'm naturally relieved."

Li Xu nodded, reached out and rubbed her head, comforted him, "Don't think too much, stay with my second brother for the rest of my life, and if my second brother loves you, you will be happier than any girl in the world."

Li Qin's melancholy in her heart was instantly dispelled, leaving only happiness and sweetness. She nodded gently and murmured with a voice that she could only hear: "But the second brother is going to get married in the future..."

Li Xu didn't hear it and asked her what she said.

Li Qin blushed and said nothing was wrong. She found an excuse to check the renovation work of the restaurant in front and left in a hurry.

Li Xu didn't realize that there was something wrong, but the young secretary Erin looked at Li Qin's hurried back and thought to himself: "It seems something is wrong with this young lady..."

Li Qingang left for a while, Lin Gang came.

As soon as he saw Li Xu, he bowed and smiled, "Congratulations, I'll bring the red envelope."

Li Xu learned the same action as him: "Happy and happy together, red envelopes will be offset!"

Lin Gang scolded Li Xu for being stingy, and Li Xu said that they were each other.

He took Lin Gang into the private room of the restaurant and ordered the kitchen to prepare some simple side dishes and a pot of wine, and have a few drinks with Lin Gang.

Before the food came, Lin Gang was upset for Li Xu and said, "This court is too stingy. You have made such a great contribution to stabilize the messy situation in Guanzhong North Road. You have actually given you an official position as an ambassador to fight against thieves, but it is a temporary errand. It is simply too perfunctory."

Although Li Xu didn't care much, after hearing Lin Gang say this, he also complained: "That's right, I thought I would at least be named a general and a marquis. But in the end I was given a temporary worker job. I was so depressed."

Lin Gang was indeed worried about Li Xu, but when he heard him say this, he suddenly became happy and cursed: "You really dare to think that the general and the marquis are cabbages on the street. How many people have been born and die in their lifetime? You can get it by killing a few thieves? Do you think the court was run by your family?"

Li Xu originally wanted to say that although it is not my family now, I will open one for you in the future, and maybe it will be the largest court in the world.

But I can't say this at the moment. It's too ruthless. If I say it, it will definitely scare Lin Gang.

The relationship between the two has not reached that point yet.

After a few jokes, Lin Gang asked Li Xu if he really didn't care?

Li Xu asked him back if it was useful to care?

Lin Gang was speechless.

Li Xu said that he was still young, and the court must have considered that he could not help him grow, so he was trying to temper himself.

If you make contributions in the future, the court will definitely give you a reward that you are satisfied with.

Lin Gang stared at Li Xu for a long time, but couldn't see whether Li Xu's words were true or not. Finally, he sighed and said that he was indeed not as calm as Li Xu.

I also sighed at the nonsense that generations are stronger than generations.

At this time, the food and drinks came. The two of them chatted while drinking. Li Xu asked about Lin Yi.

After hearing the news that Lin Yi was coming to take charge of the rebellion, Lin Gang was silent for a moment, pouring himself a drink of three glasses of wine.

Li Xu could see that Lin Yi probably caused quite a lot of psychological shadow and pressure to Lin Gang.

However, Li Xu didn't ask. Many things about adults cannot be asked, if the other party wants to say that he will say it himself.

Sure enough, after drinking a few glasses of wine, Lin Gang started talking by himself.

This Lin Yi is the legitimate son of the main lineage of the Lin family and the second son of Lin Ruhai, who is now the head of the Lin clan and is named Duke Ningguo. Since childhood, he has been a monument that the entire Lin clan has been admired by the age of the Lin clan.

If the others are stars, then this Lin Yi is the sun.

When the sun comes out, who can still see the light of the stars?

Although Lin Gang also realizes that he is very capable, he always feels a sense of depression when facing Lin Yi.

Although he tried hard to surpass Lin Yi, he finally found that it was futile.

Lin Yi may not even regard his cousin from the same clan as an opponent.

This made Lin Gang feel really frustrated, so he didn't want to hear the name Lin Yi for a long time.

Later, he joined the Yaozhou Prefecture Army as a captain, and Lin Yi joined the Imperial Guard and became his general. The two of them were not subordinate to each other and could not see each other. Lin Gang's aggrievance and frustration gradually faded.

But unexpectedly, today I heard news from Lin Yi again, and this clan brother, who has been known as the pride of heaven since childhood, may even become his immediate boss. How can he not be depressed?

After listening to him quietly, Li Xu drank a few more glasses of wine with him and asked him what kind of person Lin Yi was.

Lin Gang was silent and said, "Pride! Extreme pride!"

Li Xu knew in his heart that such people do have the capital to be proud.

However, Li Xu also has a way to deal with proud people.

That is to completely smash your pride and step into the mud and dust, and turn all your previous pride into shame.

How proud I was once, how desperate I would be then.

From the moment I learned about Lin Yi's situation, Li Xu actually regarded him as his potential enemy.

If you want to control Qin, Lin Yi will definitely be someone you can't get around.

He raised his glass and touched Lin Gang again, and Li Xu thought silently in his heart.

Lin Yi, who was far away in the capital, naturally would not think that a small county lieutenant who had never heard of the name had actually included himself in the list of enemies and opponents.
