Li Xiu personally sent Xiao Yu out. At this time, many officials who came to visit were waiting outside the mansion. When they saw Li Xiu going out in person, this surprised everyone around them. Soon someone recognized that Xiao Yu was sent out, which surprised many people even more because they heard that Xiao Yu and Li Xiu had disagreement due to the attack on Buddhism, but now they looked like they were talking and laughing, which was really inconsistent with the rumors.

"Please go back to the prince-consort. I have to go to the academy, so I will say goodbye!" Xiao Yu bowed to Li Xiu at this time. His coachman also drove the carriage over at this time. The officials around him were quite tactful and did not come forward to disturb him rashly.

"Mr. Xiao, let's talk in detail later!" Li Xiu also bowed and said respectfully at this time, and then personally helped the other party get on the car. After all, Xiao Yu is not young anymore. Although the old man is in good spirits, his body is far inferior to that of a young man. It is a big deal when he bumps and bumps.

"Huh?" But just as Xiao Yu was about to get in the car, he suddenly stopped and looked at the crowd next to him, as if he had seen some acquaintance. This made Li Xiu look at him curiously, and at first glance, he saw a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance in the crowd.

If it were just this middle-aged man, it would be nothing. There was a child standing next to this middle-aged man, who was about ten years old, but he had red lips and white teeth and was very handsome, especially his eyes were extremely bright, and he could tell at a glance that he was an extremely smart child.

"Zhixun, are you here too?" Xiao Yu rarely showed a bright smile when he saw the middle-aged man. It seemed that this middle-aged man should be his close junior. After all, with Xiao Yu's personality, he rarely showed such a kind expression to others.

The middle-aged man might be embarrassed to come forward at first, but now he saw Xiao Yu greeting him on his own initiative, so he brought the children around him forward and saluted: "Zhixun pays homage to Uncle Xiao!"

"No need to be polite, is your father's health okay?" Xiao Yu also said happily at this time, and asked about the other party's father the first sentence, which further confirmed Li Xiu's guess.

"My father is in good health, but he got sick this summer. Fortunately, it's not serious. He has been living in his hometown in Taiyuan." The middle-aged man answered again, with a humble smile on his face, while the child beside him was looking at Li Xiu, probably he also knew Li Xiu's identity.

Xiao Yu wanted to ask about his old friend's situation, but then he suddenly slapped his head and apologized to Li Xiu: "I am so confused about my son-in-law. This is my old friend's son, named Di Zhixun, his father Di Xiaoxu used to serve as the Left Chief of the Shangshu. He resigned from his post two years ago due to illness and returned home."

"Di Zhixun is here to pay homage to the Duke!" Di Zhixun also took the opportunity to salute Li Xiu. He was originally visiting Li Xiu's house, but he didn't expect to meet his father's old friend Xiao Yu here, and he didn't expect Xiao Yu would introduce him to him. So he was secretly happy at this time. After all, not everyone is qualified to talk to Li Xiu.

"It turns out that Ling Zun is Di Zun. I was also an old acquaintance with Di Zuo Cheng at the time, so you don't have to be too polite!" Li Xiu also said with a smile. He knew Di Xiaoxu, but he had no friendship. Moreover, the other party was old and resigned from his post and returned to his hometown two years ago. If it weren't for Xiao Yu's mention, Li Xiu would hardly remember this person.

"Zhixun, where are you working now? Is this next to you your son?" Xiao Yu asked Di Zhixun again at this time. He and Di Xiaoxu had not seen each other for several years, and Di Zhixun seemed to have been working outside, so he didn't know much about Di Zhixun's situation.

"Uncle, I am now serving as a military officer in Zhengzhou and a military officer in Zhengzhou. The next one is my son." When Di Zhixun said this, he also turned his head to look at the boy who was looking at Li Xiu, "Renjie, come and pay homage to Duke Song!"

"Di Renjie pays homage to Duke Song and Duke Yan!" Hearing his father's words, the boy immediately took a step forward, first saluting Xiao Yu, and then saluting Li Xiu. Although he was young, he was very polite, and Li Xiu and the other two were not afraid at all, which was very rare for a child.

"Di Renjie?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard the child's name, and then he realized that he was also shocked. He never expected that the child in front of him was Di Renjie, the famous in history!

"No need to be polite!" When Li Xiu reacted, he hurriedly spoke, and then looked at Di Renjie in his childhood. He saw that the other party looked very similar to Di Zhixun, and he was probably also a handsome man in the future, especially his eyes, which were bright and agile. With Li Xiu's years of experience in educating children, such children are generally extremely smart, such as Wu Mingkong, Qi Niang, Li Chengdao and others all had the same eyes.

Xiao Yu also noticed Li Xiu's abnormality at this time. He looked at him strangely, and then he kindly asked Di Renjie about his study. After all, he was a knowledgeable scholar and now he is in charge of Zhongnan Academy, so he is most concerned about his children's study. Finally, he even encouraged Di Renjie to study hard and go to Zhongnan Academy in the future.

Xiao Yu did have something to do, so after introducing Li Xiu and Di Zhixun, he chatted for a few more words before leaving. Li Xiu and Di Zhixun personally sent him onto the carriage, and then watched the carriage leave. At this time, Li Xiu smiled and invited Di Zhixun, "Di joins the army, I wonder if he can go through the palace?"

"Uh?" Di Zhixun didn't expect that Li Xiu would take the initiative to invite him into the mansion. After all, Xiao Yu just introduced him to him. Originally, he just thought that it would be enough to say a few words to Li Xiu, but he didn't expect that Li Xiu was so enthusiastic. But he soon realized that Li Xiu was even thinking that Li Xiu was for Xiao Yu's sake, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you, the prince, I can't ask for it!"

At this moment, Li Xiu invited Di Zhixun and his son to the mansion, but the people around him also showed envious expressions. However, no matter how envious such things is, it is useless. After all, Di Zhixun was a senior official, and even though his father left the court, his connections were still there. After all, no one could reach a high level of success in anyone.

Li Xiu was also very enthusiastic about Di Zhixun and his son, so he specially invited them to the reception hall and sent new tea. Then he started chatting with Di Zhixun and his son.

At first, Di Zhixun thought that Li Xiu invited him in for Xiao Yu's face, but after a few words, he found that Li Xiu was more interested in his son than in himself. For example, Li Xiu not only asked about Di Renjie's study, but also asked about his usual hobbies and even his life, which surprised Di Zhixun.

Li Xiu also focused all his attention on Di Renjie at this time. After asking, he found out that Di Renjie was only eight years old this year, but his personality was very steady and not at all stage frightened. He also had a very pleasant conversation with Li Xiu.

"Duke, I heard from others that you are the smartest person in the world. No matter what kind of problem you are, can I ask you a question?" After answering some questions from Li Xiu, Di Renjie suddenly took the initiative.

"Oh? What questions do you want to ask?" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile with interest when he heard this. Smart children usually like to think, and there are often some strange thoughts in his mind. Li Xiu also wanted to know what Di Renjie was thinking when he was a child?

"I was reading "Liezi" during this period and happened to see the chapter on the debate day of the two children, so I would like to ask the Duke, I wonder if you think the sun is close to us in the morning or at noon?" Di Renjie asked Li Xiu with his little head tilted at this time.

"No, even Confucius can't answer such a question, how can you make things difficult for the Duke of the Kingdom of China?" As soon as Di Renjie finished speaking, Di Zhixun next to him immediately scolded him, and even looked at Li Xiu nervously, for fear that he would get angry because of it. After all, Di Renjie's question is too difficult, and I'm afraid that no one can answer this question in this world.

"Haha~Di Joined the Army, don't scare Renjie. In fact, he can consider this question, which proves that he has really read the book, and I can really answer this question!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing at this time and stopped Di Zhixun. If Zhao Renjie asked him some questions in Confucianism, he might not be able to answer them, but for such astronomy and geography questions, I'm afraid no one in the Tang Dynasty could compare with him.

"Can the Duke really help me solve my doubts?" Di Renjie was not influenced by his father. He shouted in surprise. He was at the age of the most keen desire for knowledge. There were countless questions in his little brain, most of which could not be found in the book. He wanted to ask his father and his husband, but was scolded by them for being random thoughts, which made him feel quite depressed.

"Of course, this kind of problem is not difficult. If you want to know, I can also tell you how big the land we live in is, where is the end of the ocean, what is on the moon, and what is the sun, but I have a condition, I wonder if you are willing to agree?" Li Xiu said at the end, and he couldn't help but smile, and his old habits were broken again.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Di Zhixun next to him had vaguely guessed what Li Xiu meant, but he couldn't believe it. He also widened his eyes and his breathing became rapid. However, Di Renjie still asked very naively: "As Duke, do you still need my conditions to agree to you?"
