Chapter 76: The splendid heart repays the country's kindness
Chapter 76: A beautiful mind repays the country’s kindness
Only those scholar-bureaucrats who don’t know the sufferings of people’s livelihood would ask such questions, why don’t they eat minced meat? Is it easy for a person who was born as a government servant to find an official position? Li Youxian pretended to be confused and said: "How did Mr. Zhao start to say this?
?”
Zhao Liangli said: "I thought you were also an outstanding person who was hidden in the market. However, because of your background, you were relegated to a civil servant, so I kindly wanted to make your name famous. In the blink of an eye, I heard a story about a greedy ninth-grade inspection officer and married him.
How is the news about a sick woman different from selling oneself for glory? I am deeply disappointed!"
If you don't sell yourself, you will be beheaded and your property will be confiscated! Otherwise, you will have to go to the construction site to work for free! Li You said angrily: "What are you talking about, Zhao Daguan! Why do you want to spend your whole life living like a dog? If you have this opportunity, it is natural."
Follow Ban Ding's example and join the army with a pen, and use your talents and knowledge to serve the country!"
Looking at the impassioned and enthusiastic look of the young man in front of him, as if he saw the shadow of himself back then, Zhao Liangli helplessly touched his forehead with his hand. He sighed in his heart, I was negligent. After all, Mr. Li is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is full of youthful spirit.
Such an impulsive age.
He advised: "Young man has read a few books but doesn't know anything about the world. I don't think anyone in your family knows these things. How can this patrol inspector be confused with a high-ranking military officer in the Han and Tang Dynasties? Since you are born and have no hope of taking the imperial examination, you might as well learn from me.
If you travel around mountains and rivers, write poems and preach, you can still become a famous person, and you can leave a name for future generations. Only then can you live up to your life."
The people in my family know the benefits of being an official very well. You, a noble person who was born with honor, cannot understand...Li You used his skills, his eyes were bright and his face was straight, and he responded to the poem word by word:
"With a beautiful heart to repay the kindness of the country, it is difficult to find the history of Xiao Xutu. If he succeeds in his future, he will knock on the Yeyu Gate of Kongshan again."
Zhao Liangli was actually happy. A small patrol inspector who led a group of handymen took him seriously. He was too young! He mocked and said: "You can serve the country by being a small soldier all your life? I was still a small boy before."
The official, who is half a scholar, can now be a soldier for the rest of his life."
Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Li You took Zhao Liangli to a remote place and whispered in a low voice: "Well, if there is a chance of promotion, please ask the senior officials to help me think of a way. I'll make a fool of myself."
Zhao Liangli laughed and said as if he heard a joke: "You'd kill me for laughing! Even if your father-in-law doesn't take back this inspection, he will be stuck for life. I haven't heard of any inspection officer being promoted in recent decades."
As a military official, there are only sixth-grade city garrison above the county inspection level. From ninth-grade to sixth-grade directly, there is no way to be promoted in the imperial system? Do you want to be a seventh-grade general or something like a military leader below the garrison?
? Then you have completely become a warrior. You can’t even be called a military officer. You might as well be doing inspections. Besides, don’t tell me that you want to go out and join the army to fight for your life."
"Just keep an eye on it, high officials. If I really have this destiny, please take care of me." To be honest, the opportunity that Li You thought he would keep secret from everyone might not come up, so he seemed to be resigned to his fate.
It's not certain whether you need to get Zhao Daguan or not, but it never hurts to say hello in advance.
Zhao Liangli sneered: "If you really want such a good life, I won't go out of my way to help you find a future. But you'd better stop having erotic dreams. At worst, I won't despise you for selling yourself as a patrol inspector."
While talking, Zhao Liangli took another cardboard sticker from Chang Sui and stuffed it into Li You and said: "It is said that the moon on the sixteenth day is rounder than that on the fifteenth day. On August 16th, I would like to invite all my friends to Huqiu, Suzhou.
Let’s gather together to enjoy the moon, so as not to delay the family reunion on the 15th. Please spare some time and prepare some masterpieces to add splendor to me.”
Of course Li You would not refuse. It was another occasion to pretend to be a celebrity, but he still had to think hard about how to pretend to be fancy, level and classy.
But I finally got over it with Mr. Zhao and sold myself... I borrowed my job as a patrol inspector. After collecting the post, Li You asked: "If Mr. Zhao is not enjoying himself in the capital, why did he come to a small county again?"
Zhao Liangli sighed: "It hasn't rained in Fucheng for a long time, and the ban remains the same. I made an exception and held a theater party, but the old prefect came to be wordy and couldn't stand him."
He actually thought that the fourth-grade magistrate was too verbose to him... he would have been served by a big boss who would have been waiting for ordinary people. Li You once again felt that, apart from talking about romantic women, he and Zhao Daguan had nothing in common.
language.
"There is one more thing I almost forgot. Mr. Wang seems to want to meet you for a while and asked me to introduce you. Don't leave. Come on board for a drink later." Zhao Liangli invited.
Although Li You didn't curry favor with Wang Tongzhi, he was still flattered by the treatment, and his favorability towards Mr. Wang skyrocketed. When a fifth-grade civil servant wanted to meet with the ninth-grade military official who was to be appointed, he solemnly asked the person who asked him to do it, and the wife promoted him.
Yes. Could it be the effect of the halo of celebrities? But Li You didn't think it was the case, so he just acted according to the situation.
Over there, the county magistrate Zhou and Wang Tongzhi saw that the ceremony was over and said, "Master Wang, please get on the sedan chair. Everything in the county residence is ready."
Wang Tongzhi laughed and said: "It's really hard work, but I have something to do tonight. I have to spend the night on Zhao Daguan's boat. Can I go to the mansion tomorrow? I also ask Mr. Zhou to settle the fellow mages properly."
Seeing that all the people on the pier were finally gone, Li You went to Wang Tongzhi and said, "Your Majesty, Li You, I have met Mr. Wang." He pretended to bow, but Wang Laotongzhi stopped him in person and said, "Brother Li, there is no need to say more."
"Etiquette, let's get on the boat and talk about it."
People must ask for something when they are polite, Li You said secretly.
Zhao Liangli took Wang Tongzhi and Li You on board the ship and entered a cabin that was slightly smaller than the last time. After all, there were only three of them having a drink and talking. The seats had already been arranged, and Wang Tongzhi sat at the top, opposite Zhao Liangli and Li You.
Zhao Liangli whispered a few words to the attendant next to him, and two women came in not long after. Li You looked around and saw that both women had golden hairpins, beautiful colors, and charming expressions. Their long skirts were fluttering as they walked.
.Especially Rong Zhi is so charming and charming, every smile and every move has a unique charm.
Li You asked curiously: "Where did Mr. Zhao find such beauties? Why do you think they look like they came out of an ancient painting?"
Wang Tongzhi knew it, and said to Li You: "Brother Li, if you don't go to Fucheng, haven't you seen Zhao Daguan's female troupe? This must be the best among them."
No wonder his behavior and expression were so special. Li You suddenly realized, "I've heard of it. I just got to see it today and it opened my eyes."
It is said that in this era, all the singers and male roles were played by men, and there might not be even one female actor among a hundred actors. Therefore, female actors were extremely rare, and all-female theater troupes were unheard of anywhere else in the world.
. Otherwise, why would Zhao Liangli regard his family's beauty troupe as the pride of his life?
Zhao Liangli showed off: "We won't do the drama today if we don't have everything ready. Just invite them to accompany us with wine." He then said: "Before you start talking ugly, Mr. Li needs to be careful. You can take your fancy to other women. I won't say anything about it, brother."
Just give them away. These are my treasures for acting, and they are indispensable for acting. They will never be given away. Mr. Li, don’t take them too seriously!"
Two female actors came to the table to accompany the wine, but only Li You was empty. Zhao Liangli asked curiously: "I obviously prepared three people, why is there one missing?"
At this time, another woman with a similar temperament hurried over and apologized outside the door: "Masters, something happened to my family, so I heard the summons. I came late. I am really guilty."
Zhao Liangli said: "Come in! Mr. Li has the final say on how to punish you."
The woman then entered the door and bowed to Li You from a distance.
Li You frowned and said, "It's not good to come in."
Zhao Liangli shouted: "Then get out!"
The woman had no choice but to turn around and exit the cabin.
Li You shouted again: "It's not good to go out!"
After hearing this, the woman stood at the door aggrievedly and said, "Please tell me, sir, what should I do with my family?"
"You don't even know this?" Li You said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Of course we are constantly in and out of each other."
This sentence made the whole room burst into laughter, and Zhao Liangli shouted: "It's fun to have wine with Mr. Li! Stop teasing women, Miss Cai, please pour some wine for Mr. Li to apologize!"
