Li Yunze followed Song Yichen to the academy.
There are many talented and knowledgeable scholars in the famous academy.
There are also geniuses who are arrogant and free and uninhibited.
Song Jingwen recommended two counselors to him, and he planned to go there to take a look today.
When they both arrived, the students were in class.
A man of unknown appearance and age sat drunkenly in a pavilion drinking.
There was a wine bottle and two side dishes on the table.
The man looked into the distance with hazy eyes, pouring a sip of wine into his mouth from time to time.
Song Yichen whispered: "This is the Bai Yuannian my father was talking about. He has been in our academy for several years.
When I'm in a good mood, I go to teach the students a lesson, and spend most of the time sitting here drinking and dazing.
My father admired him very much and said that he had a lot of literary talent but no place to put it to use. "
Li Yunze nodded lightly and walked over carrying a food box.
Inside are braised pork and crystal elbow, as well as a plate of fried peanuts and cold lotus root slices.
Song Yichen held two small jars, which were also prepared by Li Yunze, one pot of red wine and one pot of white wine.
"Mr. Bai, why are you here alone? Where is Mr. Sun? Is he drinking with you today?"
Bai Yuannian turned around and casually bowed his hands to the two of them, "Old Sun has gone to sleep."
When he saw Li Yunze, he paused for a moment, wondering why these features were so familiar?
He stood up and said, "Yichen, who is this young master?"
Song Yichen smiled and said: "This is my sworn brother Li Ping'an. I took him for a walk around the academy and brought some wine and food to my husband."
Bai Yuannian didn't know what he thought of when he heard this surname, and quickly glanced at Li Yunze.
His eyes flashed slightly and he stood up immediately.
Song Yichen was introducing Li Yunze, "Brother Li, this is Bai Yuannian, my father's friend for many years."
Li Yunze put the food box on the table, "I have heard of your name a long time ago, but I didn't expect to be able to see you here today. I am very honored."
Bai Yuannian straightened his sleeves and cupped his hands towards him, "I don't dare. Sir, please sit down."
Song Yichen next to him was very surprised. Mr. Bai usually seemed to ignore everyone.
Even when he greeted him, he just said a few words casually and perfunctorily.
Why are you so respectful to Brother Li? Could it be that you guessed his identity?
But just now I didn't say Brother Li's name, just his name.
Li Yunze lifted his robe and sat down with a smile.
Bai Yuannian waited for him to sit down before sitting down again.
The waiter waiting next to him had already brought bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses.
Song Yichen asked all the boys in the academy to retreat, and asked his personal bodyguards to stay nearby.
Li Yunze first poured a glass for Bai Yuannian, "Mr. Bai, this is the red wine made by my wife. How do you like it?"
"Thank you Mr. Li."
"That's the taste." Bai Yuannian took a sip and praised with a smile.
"Last year, Master Song brought me a small altar, and since then Lao Sun and I have been thinking about it day and night.
We asked Shan Zhang for it several times, but he said it was given by someone else and even stole it from home for us. "
Bai Yuannian took another sip, squinting his eyes and savoring it carefully, "Good wine, I didn't expect to taste the familiar taste again after a year."
Li Yunze also picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and suddenly asked unexpectedly: "I have long heard that Mr. Bai is talented and full of knowledge. I wonder what you think of the current chaotic situation?"
Bai Yuannian's hand holding the wine glass paused, and his eyes glanced at Li Yunze opposite. He was silent for a long time without speaking.
Li Yunze slowly tasted the wine in his glass, as if what he just said was just a casual question and he didn't care whether he answered or not.
Bai Yuannian drank all the wine in the glass, his eyes burst with excitement, and he said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"First kill the faint king, and then bring order to the chaos, bring peace to the world, and deal with all the vassal kings."
Li Yunze smiled slightly at the corner of his eyes. He picked up the wine bottle and poured him a glass of wine himself. "I still need a staff member. I wonder if sir would be interested?"
Bai Yuannian stood up, clasped his hands in his fists, and said excitedly: "I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
At this time, Song Yichen next to him spoke and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, you will be in good hands in the future. Brother Li has no shortage of good wine and all kinds of delicious ingredients. From now on, you will never have to complain about the poor food in our academy." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties came from a distance.
The man was wearing a green robe and had a book on his waist, looking like he had just woken up.
"Yichen, is Lao Bai complaining again that the food cooked by the cook is not to your taste? Don't listen to his nonsense. Everyone in the academy knows that he is a tricky person? What's the problem with the cook?"
"Mr. Sun, you're awake." Song Yichen stood up and greeted him with a smile.
Mr. Sun smiled and nodded, then looked at Li Yunze, who was sitting opposite Mr. Bai.
He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Li, long time no see. I wonder if you still remember me?"
"of course I remember."
Li Yunze stood up with a smile, "Mr. Sun, if you hadn't helped me back then, I would have been framed by that vendor and ended up eating and drinking."
Mr. Sun waved his hand quickly, "Master Li, please don't say that. I only thought you were young at that time, but I didn't know your abilities. It was really a big show in front of Gong Gong's door, which made you laugh."
Bai Yuannian asked with interest: "Old Sun, do you know Mr. Li? Listening to your words, could it be that there was a relationship before?"
Mr. Sun smiled and said: "This must have happened four years ago. That time I went back to Beijing to visit relatives and happened to meet Mr. Li eating wontons on the street..."
Following Mr. Sun's narration, Li Yunze recalled the cause of that incident.
On the day of his tenth birthday, he secretly ran away to the capital.
He first walked around the palace, and then walked around the streets near his uncle's house.
Finally, when he got hungry from shopping, he went to the street where he often ate.
His favorite thing on that street was the wontons, but unfortunately, the one he liked to eat didn't have a stall, so he went to another one.
But the couple had bad intentions, were cunning and took advantage.
He had obviously paid the money, but the two of them looked down on him and insisted on falsely accusing him of being a freeloader and asking him to pay ten times the amount of money before they could leave.
It was already very late and he had to rush back to the temple.
Since I couldn't reason clearly with the two of them, I didn't want to waste any more words and was ready to deal with them.
But before he could take action, Mr. Sun at the table next to him stood up to help him.
Mr. Sun saw clearly that the couple framed Li Yunze and knew that Li Yunze had already paid Wonton.
He reprimanded the couple and threatened to report them to the police.
The couple saw that he was dressed like a scholar and were afraid that he would actually sue the officials. Cai was unwilling to let Li Yunze go.
Li Yunze treated Mr. Sun to some wontons as a token of his gratitude.
I bought him the famous braised pork on that street, and then hurried back to the temple.
Because he went back too late, his master beat him up that day and threw him into the back mountain where he fought with wild beasts all night.
The master and his senior brother were sitting in the tree, eating the braised pork and sweet-scented osmanthus cake he had brought, and watching his jokes.
After Mr. Sun finished talking about the encounter between the two, he started to miss the braised food in Beijing again.
Li Yunze smiled and invited, "Mr. Sun, why don't you come with me too.
The braised stew made by my second uncle is even more delicious than the one in Beijing, and the auntie who cooks there is also very good at cooking, which will definitely satisfy your appetite.
This way you don't have to separate from Mr. Bai, and you two can talk and enjoy delicious food like you do now. "
