In the Great Ming Palace, not long after, Li Er, the King of Ten Thousand Kings, was having his imagination run wild. Tang Feng returned to the Duke of Wei's residence.
If he knew that Li Shiming and his wife had been talking about him for a long time, he wondered if he would feel flattered.
Of course, it was impossible for him to know what had happened in the Great Ming Palace.
He didn't even know that he had suddenly become famous in Chang 'an because of Hu Yuelou.
But even if he knew, he would not regret it.
Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger was perhaps the best way to protect oneself. However, in the Great Tang, especially during the Zhenguan period, if one blindly pretends to be a pig to eat a tiger, there would only be one result. That was to die a lifetime without any chance of making a name for yourself.
Since he had the ability, why would he hide it?
As a live-in son-in-law, his starting point was already much lower than those aristocratic family disciples. If he kept a low profile, he could only be a live-in son-in-law for the rest of his life.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang personally cultivated in Longzhong. In that era where information was lagging behind, Zhuge Liang should have been unknown. However, many wise men visited him because of his fame. Liu Bei even visited him three times to invite him out of the thatched cottage.
The reason was no wonder. When Zhuge Liang was farming in Longzhong, he was not just hiding from the world. He was still using various ways to show his talent, package himself, and promote himself.
Successful self-packaging, coupled with ingenious self-promotion, led to Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage.
Tang Feng didn't dare to compare himself to Zhuge Kongming, but he was also using the same method to build up momentum for himself. He wanted everyone to know that he, the son-in-law of the Li family, was not just a lucky country bumpkin.
Waiting passively for an opportunity to come wasn't Tang Feng's character.
Even if there was no chance, he had to create one for himself.
When he returned to Duke Wei's estate, Tang Feng could clearly feel that the servants in the estate were looking at him differently.
Ever since he came to the High Duke's Public House, the steward in the Public House had been indifferent to him. But now, when he saw him, his tone was actually more respectful.
Not to mention those servant girls, when they saw him, their eyes clearly carried a kind of hot brilliance.
North courtyard.
"Duke, son-in-law is back." The old butler walked in quickly and said to Li Jing.
Li Jing and his wife looked at each other.
"Why don't we call him over and ask him?”Li Jing looked at the red-whisked woman sitting beside him and asked in a low voice.
The red-whisked girl was silent for a moment before shaking her head.
"Let's see." After a moment of silence, the woman with the red horsetail whisk said slowly.
"Old Zhang, go to the study and find some books to send to son-in-law. Also, send two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study that the residence has collected.”Li Jing nodded and looked at the old butler again.
"Yes, Duke." The butler responded and left the room.
Only Li Jing and his wife were left in the huge house.
"I thought that he would be like those villagers in the countryside without anyone to teach him. However, I didn't expect that not only was his martial arts extraordinary, but he was also well-read and had extraordinary attainments in poetry and calligraphy.”Li Jing said with a bitter smile.
The red-whisked woman sitting next to her glanced at her husband unhappily.
"Why are you troubled, husband? Do you think that he is talented and marrying into my Duke Wei's Public House is a waste of his talent? Or did she feel sorry for Big Brother Tang?”The red horsetail whisk girl said with a straight face.
Hearing his wife's question, Li Jing's heart became even more bitter. His current worries were precisely because of these two matters.
If it was said that Tang Feng did not have any ability, he would be happy to marry into his residence. This was because not only could it continue the Li family's lineage, but it could also repay the kindness of the past and not let Big Brother Tang's son wander in the countryside.
But now, this nephew of his was skilled in both literature and martial arts. If he were to recruit him into the residence as a live-in son-in-law, it would more or less delay his future and waste his talent.
Now, he felt a little regretful. Why didn't he ask Tang Feng when he saw him? If he knew that Tang Feng was skilled in both literature and martial arts, he definitely wouldn't have let Tang Feng be his live-in son-in-law. After all, he was the dignified Duke of Wei. As long as he supported Tang Feng a little, Tang Feng would be able to achieve something.
Li Jing did not know that when he first met Tang Feng, he had some cultural foundation, but it was far from being as dazzling as his current performance. In terms of martial arts, Tang Feng knew nothing at all.
Actually, his worries were completely unnecessary.
" My Wan 'er is also skilled in both martial arts and martial arts. She is also a beautiful woman. In Chang' an, she is a perfect woman. Do you really have the heart to see her marry a village man?"”The red horsetail whisk maiden said.
Li Jing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he swallowed his words.
"If Tang Feng was useless, even if he married Wan 'er, it would only be in name. In the end, it would delay him and Wan' er. But now, everything has changed.”When she said this, a rare smile appeared on the red-whisked girl's face.
"Tang Feng is good at literature and martial arts. Wan 'er won't be against him. As long as the two of them are together for a long time, I think they will develop feelings for each other over time.”
Li Jing sat there and listened to his wife's words. He fell silent again.
In the end, he sighed deeply.
"I can only let him suffer."
