"Haha, Lord Cao is polite. I just arrived. Mr. Jiuyuan, we meet again."
Lin Xu stood up and bowed to say hello to them.
"Let the store serve the dishes as soon as possible!"
Cao Shuduan gave the servant an instruction, and the servant took the order and left.
"Brother Jiuyuan, Mr. Lin, let's take our seats!"
Cao Shuduan reached out and signaled.
Although Lin Xu had met Cao Shuduan before, at this moment, since Cao Shuduan had changed his identity, Lin Xu couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
At the age of 45, he has a long and thin face, high and round cheekbones, a slightly dark complexion, his eyes are not big, but bright, giving people a sense of being powerful without anger. He has a medium figure, neither fat nor fat
She is thin, wearing a black melon-skin hat and a very good-textured robe.
If nothing unexpected happens, the fabric on the robe he is on should be from the latest high-end silk fabric launched by Linshan Business - Yunwen.
This cloud-patterned fabric uses the best raw silk, and the process is very complicated, so it is particularly expensive!
The fabric and workmanship of the robe on Cao Shuduan's body are estimated to be less than fifty taels of silver.
Cao Shuduan's normal salary for a year was less than 500 taels of silver.
Although this is just a small matter, you can also get a glimpse of it. Cao Shuduan is definitely not a clean official.
In fact, it can be seen from Cao Shuduan donating tens of thousands of taels of silver to build Qinglin Academy that Cao Shuduan has absolutely nothing to do with the word "cleanness".
Because if this more than 10,000 taels of silver comes from Cao Shuduan’s private property, it is obviously inconsistent with his normal income. If it comes from public funds, it is suspected of embezzling public funds!
After the three of them sat down, Cao Shuduan said: "Today I didn't invite outsiders, only the three of us, drinking and chatting. Since taking up their new job, we have been dealing with endless official duties every day, and we are so exhausted that we are almost exhausted! Today,
Finally, I can relax."
"Brother Shuduan is responsible for military affairs and government affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the important tasks of the court, and the safety of the people, all of them are carried by Brother Shuduan. How can he not be tired? However, he said it again, I don't know if there is any other person.
How many people want to be as tired as Brother Shuduan, but they don’t have the chance yet!”
Li Jiuyuan quipped.
"Ha ha......"
Cao Shuduan laughed loudly: "Brother Jiuyuan, I can understand that you are comforting me?"
"Well, I can understand it so much, and I can even understand it as I envy you."
Li Jiuyuan said very calmly.
"Brother Jiuyuan will envy me? Just kidding! Now, Brother Jiuyuan is a master of mind and his reputation as Qinglin spreads all over the world! Isn't this what our scholars yearn for? Besides, Brother Jiuyuan
If you want to become an official, that’s not a matter of one sentence? If Brother Jiuyuan really has this intention, it’s not a problem to join the cabinet and become a minister!”
Cao Shuduan said with a smile.
Li Jiuyuan felt that the two of them were always chatting here, and ignored Lin Xu. He smiled and said, "If you want to talk about what we scholars yearn for, we have to say the four sentences Mr. Lin said:
Establish your mind for heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the living and the people, inherit your unique knowledge for the past sages, and open the scale for all ages!"
After hearing these four sentences, Cao Shuduan nodded repeatedly and praised: "Mr. Lin's four sentences can be said to have written the mission and responsibilities of our scholars! Moreover, unlike ordinary scholars, those scholars can only know how to do it.
Just talking, you won’t take action at all!”
"And Mr. Lin, whether it is opening a warehouse to provide disaster relief or replacing relief, it is the best action to these four sentences!"
"In addition, Mr. Lin is also a great talent! As soon as the Peony Pavilion was published, it immediately became a phenomenal work. Other dramatic works were all over the face of "Peony Pavilion"!"
"Mr. Lin's actions are exactly the same as the "unity of knowledge and action" that our Xinxue sect most admires!"
