Looking at the young lady Li Zhi in front of her, she was talking eloquently, and her words were quite mature for her age.

Yang Fan picked up the little white rabbit toffee on the counter and stuffed it directly into the little shot's mouth.

Now the young lady also shut up immediately!

Humph, he's just a little kid, but he still pretends to be an adult, so there's nothing special about him!

Seeing that Li Zhi enjoyed the food so much, Li Ke and Xibeihuo also tasted it, and were instantly impressed by the taste of the Little White Rabbit toffee.

There was no way, in ancient times when it was almost impossible to eat sugar, few people could refuse such a temptation.

Unknowingly, several people had swept away all the toffee on the case, and I even felt that the meaning was still there.

On the other hand, Xibei was a little embarrassed to be looked at by two cute little kids, Xiao Douding and Xiao Sizi. After all, she just said that Yang Fan was bragging because of the toffee.

Although Li Ke was a little embarrassed after snatching the toffee from the little kid, he picked up the tea gracefully and looked as if nothing had happened. He was still so free and easy, and still so handsome.

Yang Fan's eyes twitched, a little jealous, how could a man be so handsome?

However, she doesn't have that kind of femininity, and her whole person is sunny and cheerful, which is too damaging to other people's self-confidence.

Thinking about how he feels a little ashamed even though he is a handsome young man, I wonder how big bosses like Cheng Chumo and Fang Jun feel when they face him!

Not wanting to spend more time with such a handsome guy, Yang Fan asked: "I wonder why Your Highness asked me to come here?"

Li Ke didn't notice Yang Fan's strange look. He put down the tea cup and said, "Uncle Zhongyi, don't call me Your Highness. You and I are similar in age, so why not call us brothers."

Yang Fan did not refuse Li Ke's closeness. He smiled slightly and said, "How dare I disobey Brother Li's words..."

Li Ke was in a good mood, and he laughed loudly and said: "Brother Yang..." Looking at Yang Fan, who was as free and easy as ever without any pretense, he secretly sighed that he was indeed the person that his father and emperor liked.

On the other hand, the young lady on the side licked the corner of his mouth, stuck a stick across the side, stood up and said: "Uncle Zhongyi, I wonder if Li Zhi can be called like this?"

He looked at Xiao Shota in surprise. As expected, none of these little kids born in the royal family were vegetarians. They knew how to form cliques at such a young age.

But there was no way he could get what he wanted, so he pretended to be confused and said: "Of course, let's call you brother from now on!"

This made Xiao Zhengtai a little dumbfounded. She just wanted more friends, but she didn't want an extra brother!

There is an essential difference between brothers and elder brothers.

But the matter was a foregone conclusion, so I had no choice but to reluctantly call Yang Fan brother.

As an elder brother, of course Yang Fan couldn't be stingy, so he took out the white rabbit toffee and put it directly into the little shot's pocket. Accepting the gift was equivalent to the official establishment of the brother recognition ceremony.

Xiaozheng Taiping was a little shorter for nothing, which made him a little depressed, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the little white rabbit toffee, and he couldn't resist, so he had to vent his unhappiness on the toffee.

Seeing Yang Fan mischievously playing tricks on the young lady, Xibei couldn't help but burst into laughter. His beautiful eyes curved into crescents, which made Yang Fan dumbfounded.

Seeing Yang Fan staring at him blankly, Xibei couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, but no matter how he looked at him, he was very charming.

Touching his nose in embarrassment, Yang Fan sighed, fortunately the person in front of him was a Xibei, otherwise he would really suspect that there was something wrong with his sexual orientation.

However, I still couldn't help but joked: "Does His Highness also want to recognize me as my brother? I can give His Highness a unique title, just call me 'husband'."

"Husband?" The northwest guy whispered and repeated following Yang Fan's words.

Maybe you are thinking about what is special about this title. "Three Kingdoms Wei Zhi Biography of Deng Ai" records: "A seventy-year-old husband, what do you want?" Isn't this a title for an old man? So he looked confused!

"Well, wife..." Yang Fan said cheerfully, taking out a special dressing mirror that was more than half a foot long from his sleeve like a treasure chest.

As a woman, how could Xibei refuse a gift with such exquisite designs and novel styles? She stretched out her white jade-like hand to take it with a dazed look.

The Xibei girls rarely go out of the palace, and they may not know the meaning of "husband", but Li Ke is a knowledgeable guy, and he is also involved in unofficial history and folklore.

Of course he knew the meaning of the word. Tea gushed out from his mouth, and his eyes looked back and forth between Yang Fan and Xibei Huo, a little teasingly.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the word husband was indeed used as a title for the elderly. However, since the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, it has taken on another meaning among the people.

It turns out that in the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar named Mai Aixin. After passing the imperial examination, he despised the old age of his wife and wanted to take another concubine, so he wrote a couplet and put it on the table: " The lotus has fallen and the lotus is withered, and the fallen leaves have returned to their roots and become old lotus roots." When his wife saw it, she guessed that her husband had the idea of ​​taking a concubine, so she wrote the second line: "The yellow rice is ripe, and when you blow the chaff, you can see that the rice has new grain." The words "new grain" and "bride" in the sentence are homophones, which is very interesting.

Mai Aixin read the second line of his wife's second line and was moved by his wife's quick thinking, so she gave up the idea of ​​taking a concubine. Seeing that her husband had changed his mind and did not forget the old relationship, the wife wrote "Husband is fair", and Mai Aixin also wrote The pen wrote, "My wife is caring."

This story was widely circulated among the people for a time, so among the people, the words "husband" and "wife" had a new meaning.

"Thanks husband……"

The Xibei guy didn't know what he meant, so he happily accepted the gift and thanked her tenderly.

And Yang Fan happily replied, "Good wife!"

Looking at the so-called stupid sister, Li Ke could only turn his face to the side, but if the two of them really met their eyes, he would be happy to see it happen.

Ahem...

After coughing dryly, Li Ke took Yang Fan's hand and turned to the topic: "This time I invite Brother Yang to go down the mountain. Firstly, I want to thank Brother Yang. Li Ke will always remember Brother Yang's kindness; secondly, it is also a farewell before leaving. It was originally I wanted to come back to my house to say goodbye after Qiuxi, and we met by chance today. As the saying goes, it’s better to choose a day than to hit it, so..."

Li Ke is naturally in a good mood now, and his expression and behavior appear more cordial.

"Thank you? Say goodbye? Brother Li, why are you doing this? Where are you going?" Yang Fan looked confused and couldn't think of anything he could thank him for.

It turned out that the autumn grain was about to be harvested and the relief work had come to an end. Li Shimin was grateful for Li Ke's contribution and ordered him to return to Anzhou to take up his post after Qiuxi.

Although Yang Fan did not directly help, the merit monument provided sufficient money for the relief work, otherwise it would be difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice.

As the person in charge of the relief work, of course he had to thank Yang Fan. Without the political achievements of the relief work, he didn't know when he would be able to atone for his sins, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to his fiefdom in the year of the monkey.

After listening, Yang Fan couldn't help but suddenly realized that this was the case. In his memory, this Wu King Li Ke did not return to his fief Anzhou until the twelfth year of Zhenguan. Unexpectedly, his unintentional act made him two years early. It seems that history is also Can be changed.

But Yang Fan soon couldn't stand it anymore. The ancients were hypocritical. No matter how good their relationship is between two grown men, do they have to hold hands to express it?

So disgusting!

Pushing Li Ke's hand away without leaving a trace, Yang Fanqiang smiled and said: "Brother Li is too praiseworthy. I don't dare to take credit. This is all your Majesty's wisdom. This is all the credit of the court. I am just talking about it, and I am a big boss." One only knows how to fight..."

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Li Ke pretended to be displeased and said in a low mood: "Brother Yang, please don't be humble, let alone belittle yourself. If you dare to say that Brother Yang is a rough man, wouldn't everyone in the world be rough? Besides, when talking and laughing, people will bow to you. , this is the highest realm. I feel very sorry that I will not be able to listen to the teachings by Brother Yang in the future. If Brother Yang is free, he can come to Anzhou as a guest, and I will definitely sweep the bed to treat him."

Yang Fan twitched the corner of his mouth, this meant that he was praising himself to the sky, he could easily fall to death.

This guy obviously came here today to ask for advice on how to go to the fiefdom. Just now, the eldest brother and the younger brother called each other. As the saying goes, if you treat me like a countryman, I should repay you as a countryman. Now I can't say nothing.

Then he said: "The reason why Brother Li was dismissed from office this time is because he indulged too much in the fiefdom. From now on, we should use righteousness to handle political affairs, use etiquette to control desires, and face the temptation of singing, dancing and lewd music. We have to be cautious. Only in this way can we Make the border defenses of the fiefdom as solid as a rock, and always keep the clan together to defend the country. You will have a reputation of loyalty to the emperor on the outside, and the virtue of filial piety on the inside. You should encourage yourself and make progress every day..."

In fact, these words are the vernacular version of the historical admonition written by Li Shimin to Li Ke.

However, precisely because of this letter of advice, Li Ke followed it and was strict with himself, fulfilling his reputation as a virtuous person in the hearts of the people.

It's just that the timeline is two years earlier, and I don't know if this letter of advice was born. It's okay to change the advice as a friend!

For a person who can chat and laugh with Li Shimin, Yang Fan's words can certainly convince Li Ke.

Standing up with some shame, Li Ke bowed deeply and said: "Thank you Brother Yang for your advice. I will definitely keep it in mind and always remind myself..."

The young lady Li Zhi on the side also looked like she was being taught, her face was flushed with excitement, and her little hands under the desk were tightly clenched into fists!
