Chapter 44 Why not eat minced meat

Chapter 44: Why don’t you eat minced meat?

Some people still don’t understand why the altar is in trouble?

You can see it clearly when you get on the altar! Looking down, you can see a circle of water around the altar below. It is really a row of flowers, colorful flags and embroidered curtains, orioles and swallows, love, love, laughter, sheng, drums and flutes.

The song is occasionally mixed with the shaking of the boat that goes up and down, left and right. Even in the middle of the night, the lights are brightly lit, and the light and shadow are intertwined.

Is this a sacrifice to heaven, or is it to seduce gods and immortals? Let’s imagine it for ourselves in the 21st century. If you live on a three-story building, a row of special industry doors at the bottom of the building faces the colorful banners on your balcony.

scene.

There have been a lot of troubles recently. Could it be that he was punished for beating the monk? Li You thought, if he had known this, he should have beaten the bald donkey to a point of disability.

The altar must not be moved. If it is rebuilt in a different place just for a few prostitutes, what is the face of the county government? If this matter is impeached by the officials, Chen Zhixian’s official position will not be guaranteed. Moreover, it is almost completed. It would be too difficult to rebuild in another place.

waste.

Li You estimated that Magistrate Chen knew about the big commotion of the flower boat, but Magistrate Chen left him with the altar matter and stopped asking about it. He had better go to see the magistrate first and report these things.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Chen blamed Li You and said: "You have not been strict in managing things since the beginning, so you will naturally attract these wild bees and butterflies." He also said: "Go to Mr. Huang and discuss with him about the flower boat."

If you have any concerns, I will report the results to my official."

Listening to the meaning of the magistrate's words, it seems that Mr. Huang was involved in these Suzhou flower boats? The real person does not show his face. Li You went to Mr. Huang again and asked about the matter. Mr. Huang couldn't laugh or cry, and shook his head and said: "This is true.

Mine is no longer mine!”

"Could it be that you, old gentleman, are the mastermind behind these businesses? What a skill, I admire you."

Master Huang glared at Li You, "How can I have such ability? Back then, I also traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, visited famous teachers, and made some classmates and friends. A few days ago, a classmate entrusted me to provide services for these flower boats and boats.

It’s convenient. I didn’t think too much about it. After all, it’s not a big deal. Who knew that such a problem would arise and ruin your job.”

So that's it. Li You just thought that even if he was a dragon crossing the river, he would have to find a local snake to cooperate. He kept guessing who it was. It turned out that he was entrusted to Master Huang. Master Huang's status has been rising very quickly in the past few months.

, he is almost the second most powerful person in the county, and he is more effective than Zhou Xian Cheng and Wang Zhubo in handling matters.

"Come with me, and I'll take you to see that person. He can make the decision." Master Huang hesitated for a while before saying, and he didn't know why he hesitated.

He got up immediately. Master Huang got on the sedan chair and led Li You to a house outside Beiguan, not far from the river bank. When he knocked on the door, he saw a handsome young man opening the door and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Huang."

"Is your master here?" Master Huang asked.

The boy said: "I am here now, but I won't be here later."

At this time, the door curtain was lifted, and a dazzling middle-aged man in his mid-thirties walked out of the main hall. At first glance, he was from a wealthy family. Although he was dressed like a scholar, he was dressed in a gorgeous silk gown, wearing a Tang scarf on his head, and a forehead brim.

There is a crystal clear jade-colored gemstone. The other items attached to it are not of ordinary quality, and Li You cannot identify them with his eyesight, but they are so eye-catching that Li You unconsciously ignored this person's appearance.

.

Master Huang stepped forward and said: "Brother Zhao Xian! Do you want to go out? Brother Yu has something to bother you now."

The wealthy middle-aged man didn't pay attention to Master Huang's words, but he looked at Li You and asked, "Who is this little brother..."

Master Huang then introduced: "The official history of this county is Li You and Li Dianshi." He then said to Li You, "This is Mr. Zhao from Fucheng."

It turned out that he was still a scholar, so Li You also came forward to greet him and said: "I have admired him for a long time. I have seen Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Xiucai read with great interest: "Who plays the desolate music of Yuefu? If life is just like the first sight, and the stars are not like last night, for whom will the wind and dew stand at midnight?"

Li You nodded and said: "Exactly."

"It turns out that we are from the same path, and we have admired each other for a long time." Zhao Xiucai said with a smile and cupped his hands.

What kindred spirit?

Zhao Xiucai asked again: "I want to ask how thin Jiang Mei is. I've seen her before, and she looks like her. But I haven't had a chance to see her with her ice-muscle and jade-bone talent. Sir, can you introduce her to her?"

Li Huan? Li You couldn't help but have a picture pop up in his mind. In a house covered with papyrus, there was a young girl with unkempt hair and a lazy face dressing up. She lowered her head and was busy typing, and at the same time she was mumbling excitedly...

The name is not worthy of the name, the name is not worthy of the name. When others see him, they will definitely look down on my taste and cannot introduce him no matter what. "This is really inconvenient." Li You said.

Zhao Xiucai looked ambiguous and smiled knowingly: "It turns out I was abrupt. It's just inconvenient for the young gentleman. Don't blame me if you don't know!"

Seeing the liveliness of these two talking about women, Mr. Huang was speechless for a moment, and finally coughed and interrupted the conversation. "Brother Xian, I have something serious to do with you today!"

Zhao Xiucai said impatiently: "How can you, such a boring and righteous man, do anything serious?"

Mr. Huang regretted bringing Li You here and letting Zhao Xiucai talk nonsense. His tall image in Li You's heart would definitely collapse a little. He said angrily to Li You: "Boy! Go tell him! I can't speak as well as you can."

Get into his ears!"

Li You went outside the courtyard gate, pointed at the black figure in the distance and said, "Did Mr. Zhao see the high platform? The responsibility for building the platform this time is attributed to the junior officials. It will be completed in the near future, but now..."

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! What a wonderful place!" Zhao Xiucai clapped his hands and sighed: "Mr. Li is indeed a master among our generation! Looking around the platform, you can see flowers and brocades all around. Buildings and boats with red sleeves are living around the water. Let's enjoy it here.

, What a magnificent sight! I want to invite you to the stage to drink and have fun, and if you like someone, I will call her to the stage to toast, how happy it is!"

This is an altar for worshiping God, not a place for you to drink wine!

Li You wished he could smash Zhao Xiucai's head to see what was inside, and looked helplessly to Mr. Huang for help. The old gentleman shrugged, unable to help.

"Xiangong Zhao!" Li You said angrily: "Young official, I was ordered to build a platform to worship heaven and pray for rain and dew to save the people. This is a solemn and solemn place. It is indecent to go around the flower boat and paint the boat!"

"That would be a pity." Zhao Xiucai thought for a while and said, "How about I donate two hundred silver to buy this place, and then ask your county to find another place?"

Seeing Li You's difficulty in communicating, Mr. Huang came up and explained: "This is not because of money. If the altar is moved at will because of prostitutes, it will make our county's important event of offering sacrifices to heaven a trivial matter. If it spreads out, it will ruin the reputation of our county.

Why did Chen Xianzun gain a foothold in Shilin?"

Zhao Xiucai sighed: "Everyone in the world appreciates the good and elegant things, but the officialdom is so vulgar and intolerable." Suddenly he turned to Li You and said: "Young gentleman has no hope of an official career, why are you still clinging to it? Why don't you give up your job and go with it?"

When we were traveling together in the mountains and rivers, there was a poem that said: "It's as vast as a guest in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Isn't it beautiful?"

If you don't work, why don't you go and drink the northwest wind? Li You thought to himself, this man must be from a wealthy family, he is really a young man who does whatever he wants. That's not right, he is an old young man. What he said is different from starving to death without food, why not eat minced meat?

the difference?
