Chapter 770: A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely
Open your mouth to be benevolent and shut up to be moral.
Li Yunze, a kind-hearted man, used his muscles to impress Ji Sun, the head of the three emperors of the Lu Kingdom.
Jisun suddenly woke up and cried bitterly, saying that she knew she was wrong, apologized very solemnly for the teasing, and said that she would change her mind in the future and become a good person who can speak well.
"A certain person is willing to offer three hundred gold as compensation..."
Before Ji Sun could finish his words, Li Yunze made a huge move and made him spin 720 degrees on the spot.
Ji Sunshi, with stars in her eyes and buzzing in her head, collapsed on the ground, completely stunned.
Why do I still get beaten when I give gold as a gift these days?
"Looking at your dog-like appearance, you are a bit handsome, but I didn't expect you to have such a vicious mind."
Li Yunze, who was condescending, stood on a moral high ground when he came up: "My family is just a poor family, and the two brothers depend on each other for survival. If you put three hundred gold here, wouldn't you be attracting all the strong men from the Lu country to come and humiliate me?"
Two brothers who have no power to bind a pheasant?"
Ji Sun, half of her face was swollen, looked blankly at Li Yunze, whose muscles in his arms were trembling, and he didn't know if he should say a curse word in his heart.
What kind of monster must it be that can make monsters like you unable to restrain it? You're not talking about a pheasant, right? It should be a Kunpeng bird that has skyrocketed ninety thousand miles away.
As the saying goes, the situation is stronger than the person. Facing Li Yunze's oppressive morality, Ji Sunshi covered her face and nodded repeatedly, "It's because I was wrong. I won't give it away."
"Um?"
Li Yunze narrowed his eyes, and the De Dao on his body seemed to make a sound, "No apology? Doesn't that mean he just wants to wipe the matter away with empty words?"
Ji Sun was about to collapse. "Speak directly, what do you want?"
"Since it's an apology, naturally it can't be dismissed with just one word." Li Yunze rubbed his chin, "I am a moral gentleman, so of course I cannot accept gold. It's just that the villain Yang Yue yesterday brought people into my house to smash and do evil..."
This was said so clearly that Ji Sun understood it immediately.
"I know."
He nodded repeatedly, "A certain man has a mansion in the city, and he would like to give it to you as compensation."
Li Yunze finally showed a smile, "A boy can be taught."
When Mrs. Ji Sun ran away in a hurry with the support of her retainers, Li Yunze smiled and said to Meng Pi, "Uncle Pi, if there is gold hidden in the house, it will definitely attract the prying eyes of strong men. But if it is for real estate, then...
It’s different. After all, a strong man can’t take away his home.”
Compared with Li Yunze's relaxation, Meng Pi was a little worried, "Zhong Ni, Ji Sun is San Huan after all, and you have offended him so much..."
Uncle is the eldest, Zhong is the second, uncle is the third, and Ji is the youngest.
This is the ranking rule between brothers in ancient times.
Bo means boss. The so-called Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period were actually said by later generations. At that time, everyone called them "Five Bo".
The reason why Meng Pi was called Meng Pi was because it was the character Meng. In this era, it referred to the eldest son of a concubine, and Meng Pi was the eldest son of a concubine.
The correct name should be Boss Pi, which is Bopi.
Confucius is different here. The second name of Confucius is Zhongni.
Similar to this, there is Sun Quan from Jiangdong. He is the second son of Sun Jian, so he is called Zhongmou.
The definition of uncle is broad, because if there are more than four sons, then from the third to the second to last, they are all uncles.
For example, among the ten sons of King Wen of Zhou, the famous Duke of Zhou ranked fourth. He was also called uncle, and his name was Shudan.
As for Ji, he is the youngest son.
Just like Xiang Yu's youngest uncle, the record in historical records is "his father Xiang Liang".
"It doesn't matter."
Li Yunze waved his hand, "If he is a bloody person, he won't be controlled by the Yang Hu brothers. If he really can't handle it clearly..."
At this point, Li Yunze's facial muscles squeezed into the character "德" (smiling evilly) "If he is sensible, then don't talk about reason. If he is not sensible, then just talk to him about physics."
Just like Li Yunze said, Ji Sun is indeed a sensible person.
Two days later, some of his guests came to the door and nervously said that the mansion given to them had been packed up and they were invited to move in.
Li Yunze felt at ease with this.
He helped the Jisun family get rid of the Yanghu brothers, which could be said to have eliminated their serious troubles.
After helping their family so much, what's wrong with accepting some gifts?
This is called a gentleman who loves money and gets it in a wise way!
Li Yunze even planned to go to the mass grave to pay homage to the Yanghu brothers and thank them for giving him a more favorable living environment at the expense of his own life.
The kindness of a gentleman moistens things silently.
The Yang Hu brothers are big-minded people who have made contributions without making any publicity and dedicated themselves quietly.
Naturally, it is worthy of Li Yunze’s worship.
But when Li Yunze brought Meng Pi to the new residence, he underestimated Ji Sun.
The house is quite nice.
The bright room is the door, and the left and right rooms are the private schools.
Inside the gate is the courtyard, and above is the hall, which is a place for meeting guests and holding ceremonies.
There are compartments on the left and right sides of the hall, and sleeping rooms behind the hall.
A standard residence for scholar-bureaucrats.
It's just that... apart from the house, there is not a single piece of furniture in this compound, and even the trees in the compound have been dug up!
No wonder it took two days to deliver the goods to the house. He must have been moving things and digging trees in the past two days.
"Heh~~~"
Li Yunze, who was standing with his hands behind his back, looked at the tree pit in front of him where only a hole was left after the tree was dug away. He smiled and shook his head, "Such a small-minded person cannot achieve great things."
Meng Pi was also a little confused, "What is this?"
"Ji Sun is reasonable." Here, Li Yunze explained for Ji Sun, "We wanted a house, and they gave us a house. What we said was right, and what we did was right."
"As the saying goes, when three people are walking together, there must be my teacher. Ji Sun's trick is good, I learned it."
Seeing Li Yunze turn around and walk out, Meng Pi was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him, "Where are you going, Zhong Ni? Don't cause trouble again, that's San Huan~~~"
"Don't be surprised, uncle."
Li Yunze shook his muscles and shook it away, "I'm here to reason."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When you come to Jisun's mansion again, you have already prepared a response.
There were dozens of soldiers arrayed in front, and behind Ji Sun, there were even a group of crossbowmen.
Since the retainers are not useful, then go directly to the soldiers.
No matter how powerful you are, is it possible that you can beat dozens of soldiers?
Li Yunze's gaze passed over the soldiers in front and landed on Ji Sun, "Are you a gentleman of the Ji family?"
Standing with hands behind his back, Mr. Ji Sun immediately responded loudly, "Of course I am a gentleman!"
Li Yunze smiled, "As a gentleman, we know that a gentleman means justice, and a villain means benefit."
After saying this, Mrs. Ji Sun frowned and said, "What's the explanation?"
"That is to say, if the negotiation with a gentleman breaks down, you should smash his head into the chest for justice. If the negotiation with the villain breaks down, you should cut him with a knife."
"Ji is a gentleman..."
At this point, Li Yunze started to clench his fists, "Then let's talk."
Looking at Li Yunze with the word "virtue" on his face, Ji Sun swallowed and thought to himself, 'Are there fewer soldiers shouting? We should mobilize more.'
Ji Sunshi subconsciously didn't want to talk about it, after all, he didn't want his head to grow in his chest.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Mr. Ji Sun gave a house to a certain family and it was no problem to take away all the furniture, but why did she also pull out the trees?" Li Yunze shook his neck, and his whole body began to tremble.
Jisunshi swallowed, swallowed back all the teasing words, and replaced them with "What do you want to do?"
Just like what Li Yunze said, if he was a bloody man, he wouldn't be manipulated into a puppet by the Yang Hu brothers.
"It's nothing serious." Li Yunze smiled, "I just came to pick up a tree."
Hearing this, Mrs. Ji Sun rolled her eyes and immediately said with a smile, "There is a beautiful tree in a certain house, and I would like to give it to you. But I don't know if you dare to take it?"
"What kind of tree would someone dare not take?"
Li Yunze responded curiously, "Could it be the Qinling Sacred Tree?"
The Jisun family knew about the Qinling Mountains, but they didn't know what sacred trees there were in the Qinling Mountains.
But that’s not the point. “There is a hundred-year-old pomegranate tree in a certain family’s yard, and I would like to give it to you.”
As the saying goes, "If you are rich or not, there are trees in front of your door."
As long as there is a yard at home, they will basically plant trees.
The difference is that the trees planted by wealthy families need to have strict meanings.
Like the persimmon tree, it means everything goes well.
And usually two are planted, which means good things come in pairs.
For example, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree means that the house is full of nobility, which is exactly the meaning of spring wealth in Yutang.
As for the pomegranate tree, needless to say, it naturally means many children and many blessings.
In contrast, there are some trees that wealthy families would never plant in their own yards.
Like the willow tree, as the saying goes, "When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places." The drooping willow leaves have the opposite meaning. It is an absolute taboo in a family where students are studying for officials.
Needless to say, locust trees are usually used in cemeteries.
The same is true for the pear tree. Because pear is homophonic to the word "li", superstitious people may think it affects family harmony.
Talk back.
On Li Yunze's side, he naturally understood what Ji Sunshi meant, "Is the king's intention taken by himself?"
"good."
Ji Sun smiled proudly, "Sir, you are a brave man! You must be able to take away this century-old pomegranate tree by yourself without using tools or help from others. Is that true?"
Oh, can you still use the provoking method?
Li Yunze smiled and said, "You are a gentleman. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not use utensils. As a gentleman, you naturally do not use any utensils when you take things and lead the way."
When we arrived at the Ji family's courtyard, we saw a huge pomegranate tree nearly three feet tall and thick enough to surround it.
Li Yunze also praised, "It is indeed a century-old tree. It is really big."
An ordinary ground-planted pomegranate tree is only about half, or at most two-thirds, that size.
Mrs. Ji Sun smiled proudly and stretched out her hand to indicate, "As long as you can take this tree away with your bare hands, I will give it to you."
This sounds generous, but in fact no one can do it.
You must know that the roots of trees are well developed and go deep into the ground to firmly hold the earth's soil in place.
Ordinary saplings can almost be pulled out, but this century-old tree is thicker than the weeping willow that Lu Zhishen pulled out.
Fortunately, it was Li Yunze who came to pull out the tree today.
