The banquet was held in the back hall of the county government office, which was originally a place for officials to have banquets. But the strange thing is that the hall is obviously very large, but there are only about a dozen tables and tables.
Those with discerning eyes counted the people, and it seemed that the wealthy people who came here had just one ticket for each family.
The remaining clan members, as well as those who came a lot, such as Hu Baoyi, were invited out by Yang Shu without even taking a photo with Li Chengzhi.
This is a bit offending. These people did not dare to blame Yang Shu, so they naturally blamed Li Chengzhi: A poor kid who can barely keep his family status dares to show his authority in front of his grandfather. Why do you have it?
Is it because the family background is better than mine, or is it because the elders in the clan have higher official positions than mine?
Yang Shu was there to hold him down. Looking at Hu Ming who was also invited out, Hu Baoyi remained silent. These people did not dare to be presumptuous, otherwise they would have started to make trouble.
Seeing these people's eyes like knives, gouging out his face, Li Chengzhi curled up the corner of his mouth and sneered secretly.
If you really dare to come up, I will naturally let you know why.
Li Chengzhi also knew that Yang Shu was afraid of being humiliated, so he cleared out these frivolous people who thought they were superior to others.
Otherwise, when these Wangba are given a few ounces of horse urine, they will definitely speak arrogantly, showing contempt and humiliation.
Don't think that these people are all mentally retarded.
As everyone knows, in this era where class solidification has reached an extreme level and civilians are divided into three, six, and nine grades, this is political correctness. It has little to do with whether you have soldiers in your hands or how powerful your force is.
Unless you rebel...
The people of the world are not at the same table, and the upper-class family and the lower-class people say a few words, and they all feel like they have been greatly insulted.
According to the records of Southern History, during the period of Emperor Xiaowu (grandson of Liu Yu) of the Southern Dynasty, Wang Sengda, who served as a minister, was a neighbor of Lu Qiongzhi, the uncle of Emperor Xiaowu.
Wang Sengda was born in the Langya Wang family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, and Lu Qiongzhi's ancestors were only Liu Yu's personal guards. It was after Liu Yu married Lu Qiongzhi's sister as his daughter-in-law that the Lu family gradually became prominent.
So Wang Sengda has always looked down on Lu Qiongzhi.
One day, Lu Qiongzhi came to visit respectfully, but Wang Sengda pointed at Lu Qiongzhi and said, "Your ancestors were just vulgar people who raised horses and drove horses for the emperor. They are not worthy of entering my home." He also asked Lu Qiongzhi.
The bed where I sat on while waiting at the concierge, the drinking utensils on which I drank, etc. were all burned.
Is Wang Sengda out of his mind?
No, because that was the social perception at the time.
Throughout the Jin Dynasty, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there are countless examples like this. Noble families will not look down upon you just because you are gifted and talented. Even if you become prime minister, or rebel and become emperor, they will only think you are a violent outburst.
Household.
Even during the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were many such examples.
For example, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, who were outstanding in their achievements and outstanding in their generation, were still looked down upon by the nobles just because of their poor background.
When Sima Qian's "Historical Records" and Ban Gu's "Hanshu" wrote about these two people, they not only used the Spring and Autumn style of writing, but also listed them in the "Biography of Ren Xing".
Push it further.
Su Dongpo said: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no moral principles and was incapable of observing. He only saw Wei Qing sitting in the toilet, without wearing a crown or a child. This was a good thing. If a young servant was elegant and suitable for licking hemorrhoids, he would see Wei Qing sitting in the toilet, and that was the right thing to do. The meaning is: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not dare to meet Ji An without wearing a hat, but he did quite well in meeting Wei Qing while shitting himself. A slave like Wei Qing was only worthy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty licking hemorrhoids...<
/p>
Why?
Just because Ji An is from the noble clan and Wei Qing is from the common clan...
Therefore, Li Chengzhi knows very well that for people like Yin Zhen, Suo Siwen, Jiang Rang, and Zhao Yuan, it is not that they are not smart, but that their ideas are deeply ingrained:
My family background is better than yours, or my official position is higher than yours, so I am naturally superior to you. Whether I look down on you, plot against you, or even humiliate you, it is all right, and you should endure it... p>
And the Li family is only slightly defeated. At least the lintel has not fallen. They are still a noble family, but they can be despised like this. If they come from a poor family, they may be trampled into the mud by these people.
Even Hu Baozong, at the beginning of his relationship with Li Chengzhi, still showed his superiority in every aspect. It was not that he meant to do so, but that it had already been instinctive.
After being taught how to be a human being by Li Chengzhi several times, Hu Baozong became more obedient.
Li Chengzhi can also guess that he will meet many more people like this in the future.
There are only a few people like Yang Shu and Zhang Jingzhi who do not care about scholars or common people, but only look at talents, sentiments and deeds. That’s why Li Chengzhi respects them so much...
With all sorts of thoughts running through his mind, Li Chengzhi felt indescribably disgusted when he looked at the officials and gentry under the table who were complimenting him profusely with glasses of wine in their hands, but with disdain in their eyes.
This is a smart person. Even if he despises you in his heart, he can still put down his dignity when he comes to use you...
Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person, let’s deal with it first.
No matter what these people think in their hearts, at least they are polite for now and can still get by on the surface.
If you really dare to be frivolous, grandpa will naturally teach you how to behave...
Li Chengzhi was smiling all over his face, chatting and laughing happily, and the banquet was very enjoyable.
Guo Cunxin was amazed.
He already knew very well what kind of character Li Chengzhi was, and he was quite flattering and arrogant. He fully thought that today's banquet would definitely be dull and tasteless even if it didn't end on bad terms.
That's why Guo Cunxin reminded Yang Shu in advance and made precautions and arrangements.
Who knew Li Chengzhi could be so versatile?
Facing Guo Cunxin's questioning gaze, Yang Shu just smiled.
If you don’t even have such a small city, how can you talk about being extremely talented?
Don’t even think about becoming an official. It’s better to find a place in the mountains as soon as possible and build a thatched cottage for the rest of your life...
Even if the sweet wine (sweet wine) has a very low alcohol content, you will get drunk if you drink too much. Everyone took turns to toast, and by the end of the drink, Li Chengzhi felt dizzy and looked at everyone with double images.
Seeing that his face was like a peach blossom and his cheeks were like powder, Hu Shiyong nodded secretly: If you only look at this appearance, he is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men.
Hu Shiyong intentionally stayed at the end. After everyone had dispersed, he said with a smile:
"If it weren't for the nephew, Baozong would have perished long ago. This life-saving grace must be repaid no matter what... But after tonight, the nephew and Baozong will definitely launch an army to suppress the bandits. No matter how flawless he is, he will take care of him. So a certain
We have prepared a small banquet. Can you invite your nephew to come to your house to talk about it?"
Guo Cunxin and Yang Shu looked at each other and sneered secretly in their hearts: Look, it's really here?
After just a few words, they became uncle and nephew. After chatting for one more night, maybe they became son-in-law?
Li Chengzhi asked with a big tongue: "You still...want to drink?"
Didn't you refuse on the spot?
Hu Baozong was overjoyed: "Don't worry, I know you don't like drinking, so I've already had vegetarian soup prepared..."
"Ah... vegetarian soup?" Li Chengzhi tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked at Guo Cunxin, "Uncle, do you want to drink it?"
Yang Shu suddenly felt happy.
I look drunk, I'm afraid I'm soberer than anyone else.
