Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 388;

Chapter 390; The old professor Situ never tires of his official career, Lu Jiaojiao's supernatural skills govern Aye

Old Situ put down the brush in his hand, picked up a copybook and looked at it, and asked calmly and calmly;
"At three o'clock, it is the time when the officials rest at noon, and it is reasonable for you to come home for a visit, not out of the frame.

It's just that you are always prudent in doing things, you are cautious and never make mistakes, and you have no habit of coming back in the afternoon. Why do you make an exception and come back to the mansion today? Is there anything you can't decide?
Let's hear it, the old man hasn't heard anything new for a long time, so I'm curious. "

"Yes, Aye, today the patriarch of Li's second house, Li Dalang, was ordered by His Majesty to go to the Household Department to meet with his son for the first time, and all the important officials from the Cangbu Division were present.

Discussing to fix the price of wine in the future, Er was very polite and had a good conversation with him. Later, Er became the host and held a banquet in Wanhe Restaurant, and met the Boling Cui family, the elders of the three clans in Dafang. , rushing to treat the guests, the host and guest broke up happily.

Qi reported that Aye knew that Li Dalang, the patriarch of the Li family's second family, had risen to the top, and now he is the county uncle of the founding country! "

Lu Jishan deliberately bit Jianguo Xianbo a little harder, lest Aye was old and couldn't hear the meaning clearly.

Old Situ was reading a book, gesticulating with the trend in the copybook, and said casually;

"The old man taught you the skills, coupled with your steady temperament, and after running with His Majesty for 13 years, you have developed a little ability. It should not be difficult to deal with Li's second-bedroom patriarch. It is just to receive you, a duke of the state. There is also evidence to be able to advance and retreat.”

Lu Jishan looked at Aye, who was as immobile as a mountain, forced to suppress his excitement, and tried to keep his words steady;
"Returning to Aye, I can cope with it, but I also think about the enterprising heart, and I also think about the glory of the ancestors, and I feel that Aye must have some secret method to be able to be under one person and over ten thousand people. I want to ask a question or two."

Old Situ, who was reading a book, was shocked when he heard his son's words, turned his head to look at Lu Jishan, and spoke slowly after a while;
"My son Jishan, you have grown up a bit, and you know how to ask Aye about being an official. Anyway, today is just a free time, so I will tell you some gossip about being an official, maybe it will be helpful to you Also unknown.

First, let's talk about what happened today in detail, don't miss any clues, Aye also wants to see if the patriarch of the second generation of the Li family in Longxi is as wise as the previous four generations of patriarchs. "

"Yes, Ayer."

Lu Jishan finally got the approval of his own Aye, and affirmed what he wanted, tried to calm down, and restored everyone's conversations and attitudes from the time Li Dalang entered the household department...

Li Dalang wanted to price the incomparably delicious Immortal Drunk, which can be called the best in the world, at twenty guan. Oh, it is this kind of newly brewed spirit that is more mellow and richer than the Wuliangye you have tasted once, Aye Take a bite and taste it, it's really good.

As Lu Jishan was speaking, he took out the three-jin bottle of fine wine from the inside of his capacious official robe, and put it on the writing desk of his family, Ayena.

The younger sister Lu Jiaojiao next to her gave a wink and took a small bowl for drinking water from another table. The brother and sister poured wine one by one and gave the other to old Situ. They cooperated quickly.

When Lu Jishan was talking, old Situ didn't interrupt a word, and smelling the fragrance of wine, he praised softly;
"You don't need to eat it, the old man knows that today's wine is much stronger than the two catties you left me.

The old man looked at this small pot and it weighed about two or three catties. Tonight, I asked the kitchen to make more meat dishes. I will eat with the patriarch.
Then call those brothers, it’s just too few, there are ten of your uncles and elder brothers who came from our hometown, plus the old man and the patriarch, this wine is really not enough. "

"Qi Aye, there are only three catties of immortals drunk. If you enjoy it alone with the patriarch, you can still eat it a few times. If you enjoy it with those uncles and brothers, one meal will be gone. It's not enough."

Old Situ picked up the wine bowl, put it under his nose and smelled it, and swallowed the one or two ounces of white wine into his stomach in one breath, taking a long breath;

"Good wine. Compared with Wuliangye, it's three points less potent. It's a little more solid. It's just and moderate, without losing the essence of the original strong wine. The aroma of the wine is even stronger."

After the old Situ finished speaking, he looked at his son meaningfully, and continued unhurriedly;
"Not enough? Then everyone should eat a little less, and if there is too much, eat a little more. The two catties of Wuliangye you gave Aye in the first few days when Aye came back, it's not as much as this time, we twelve old guys Isn't it delicious to eat once?
What's more, with an extra catty this time, each person can eat a little more. "

Lu Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard Aye's funny words, and each of them could eat a little more. She covered her mouth with a silk scarf, and turned her head away to snicker.

Lu Jishan was in a hurry to ask for the secret knowledge of being an official, so he could keep entangled in this kind of topic of drinking, and just pretended not to hear it, and continued to talk about himself.

Seeing that his son didn't understand his words thoroughly, old Situ couldn't help being a little disappointed, but he patiently didn't show it on his face, and continued to listen carefully to his son's introduction of today's events.

"Then Li Dalang originally thought about selling it at the price of [-] guan and one dou, but all the officials objected, and he felt that it was a little too little, so he followed everyone's wishes and asked the opinions of the subordinates.

In the end, all the officials unanimously agreed on the price of [-] guan a bucket of wine, and the price of this immortal drunk was fixed..."

While recalling everyone's words in the morning, Lu Jishan carefully checked his own Aye's face, seeing that there was no change at all, he could only continue talking;
"... Afterwards, we finished drinking and chatting about friendship, and we got out of the restaurant to send Li Dalang out of the door. His personal maid had already finished her lunch and waited in the lobby of the restaurant, serving Li Dalang on the carriage. .

Then he gave us a blessing, and gave the brother of the Boling Cui family a million blessings, and said a word of thanks, ... the words were not humble, and the size was just right.

Afterwards Li Dalang and his party were sent away, and the first few officials praised, saying that the maid from the country is not afraid of anything, and she can still calmly face a group of officials..."

Just as Lu Jishan was about to continue talking, old Situ narrowed his eyes, and an old voice sounded from the study;
"It's not simple, the Patriarch of Li's Second Household, although he is young, is not a simple person.

The maids and servants around me are all well-behaved and well-behaved, and they are not afraid when they meet a group of officials. A maid with a humble status can say such noble words. This alone can tell that she has taken care of her with all her heart. Family business!

There is a saying in the university: Those who in ancient times wanted to make virtue in the world should rule their country first;

Those who want to govern their country must first organize their families;

Those who want to reunify their families should cultivate their bodies first;

Those who want to cultivate their body must first rectify their mind;

Those who want to rectify their hearts must first be sincere;

Those who want to be sincere should first extend their knowledge, and the extension of knowledge lies in investigating things.

When you know things, you will know them; if you know them, you will be sincere; if you are sincere, you will be upright;

In terms of self-cultivation, you have a stable temperament, do not do evil things, treat people with ambition, and do things carefully. You have followed the emperor of the new dynasty for 13 years and have never made a mistake. In the position of head of the warehouse department.

In this neat family house, you did an extremely bad job. I won’t talk about the past, just talk about your three concubines who are like foxes,

In the past few days, it seems that I can't help but want to make mistakes, especially the second mother. I heard that in the past two or three days, when I went to pay my respects to the wife and the old woman, I was procrastinating and not in the proper time. ,Humph……

You are only busy with important affairs in the court, but you have neglected a lot. The inner courtyard of this house is not a small matter!
If it is tidy, it will be a lot of help to be an official. According to your 13 years of loyalty and hard work, no matter what, it should be a county for you.

Last year, the emperor of the new dynasty sealed a few on the left and promoted a few on the right, but every time he just kept you outside. Haven't you thought of the inner reason?
If you don't tidy up in this house, you will be hindered and it will be difficult for you to be promoted. As for the beast, how much has it delayed you..."

Old Situ was also careful to teach his son, but when he talked about self-cultivation, the top of the Qi family unconsciously raised his voice, Lu Jishan was brought up to be ashamed, and he lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at others.

Lu Jiaojiao saw that something was wrong, her brother might be taught a lesson, she walked up behind Old Situ and pinched Old Situ's shoulders, she waited on her and acted like a baby:
"Oh, Aye, isn't this going to teach my elder brother how to be an official? Look at what's going on, and where did you go? Seeing Aye, I want to get angry again, and my heart, I was so scared that I jumped up and down..."

The old Situ's vision at the beginning was vicious, and he felt that Lu Jiaojiao resembled the deceased daughter in many ways, but in the end, Lu Jiaojiao cleaned up and ate for a while.

After being clothed in rich clothes and fine food, she was no different from the daughter of old Situ in the past, and the elders who had met her offended said that she was really made of the same mold.

Lu Jiaojiao is also a filial person, and she takes care of old Situ's daily life every day, which makes old Situ like this girl more and more, and she is afraid of melting if she holds it in her hands.

Old Situ thought of the uncomfortable place, and was raising his voice, and the precious girl would not let him go, so the old Situ quickly stopped his voice to comfort the girl:
"My son is not afraid, my son is not afraid, Aye just whispers."

After comforting his precious daughter, old Situ turned his head and looked at Lu Jishan again;
"Jishan, my son, raise your head up."

"It's Aye."

"Don't feel ashamed to see people or something, the past is the past, a person has to look forward, what's the point of always living in the past?
The self-cultivation of the Qi family requires consideration of both sides, my son, you have to remember clearly, the Qi family does not mean that it is enough to just tidy up the inner house, the walk between the main wife and the big women outside is also a very important part .

Although your regular wife may be a little silly sometimes, she is kind-hearted in her heart, and she is straightforward and straightforward. Don't underestimate her stupidity, maybe someone just comes to eat this kind of thing.

If you take her to some more banquets, she will definitely be able to make a group of decent wives, and she will also be able to manage some things for you in the rear that you can't come out to. Have you ever thought about this? "

"what?!"

"Aye, can this be done? With her character, she can't even hide a word in her heart. I'm always worried that she will go out and say something, and offend people everywhere..."

Old Situ Lu patiently continued to explain;
"If you don't let it out and try it, how do you know it won't work? Isn't the wife of General Yuchi even more stupid than her?
She is like a shrew at every turn. You see, she didn't cause much trouble, but she even had very hot fights with the regular wives of several civil servants.

Why can't you let her go out to see the world, stay in this yard every day, fight with those foxes, she will be so stupid if she is not stupid. "

Lu Jishan was a little surprised that Aye could even know this kind of thing so clearly;

"Aye, you have been raising yourself in Fan Yang's hometown for a few years, and you have just come back, so you can inquire about General Yuchi's family?"

Old Situ earnestly enlightened his son;
"Don't worry about how the old man knows, like those banquets, you will take her out more in the future, this is the old man's father's order, you can't disobey it."

Lu Jishan replied respectfully;

"It's Aye, I remember, you know my temperament, I dare not refuse to listen."

"Well, just remember, this old man has always felt that the Cui family will definitely be your help in the future, I believe that the old man's vision at the beginning, the marriage that was arranged for you, the old man also carefully and carefully considered it back then.

Calling her the main wife of my Lu family's second wife, the old man thought about it, and discussed it with the clan elders for a long time. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see.

By the way, there is also the matter of your three concubines. If you don't have the heart to clean up the inner house, continue to discriminate between superiors and inferiors, and break the rules, when will you be able to raise Li's second concubine who doesn't say anything? The humble maid, and the servant who has the right to advance and retreat, you should think about it carefully, my son. "

After listening to the old Aye's earnest explanation, Lu Jishan also began to think carefully, and then remembered that Li Dalang's maid's behavior was really enviable.

But when I think of those three cute and beautiful concubines, if they clean up too much, will it be a little too unreasonable, and I hesitate again...

Old Situ has a lot of experience all his life, and this is the son he brought up with his own hands. If Lu Jishan pouted his butt, old Situ would know what shit he was about to shit.

This time, he just watched his son's expression of gnashing his teeth for a while, and then became much gentler after a while, and the old Situ immediately knew that this precious son was unwilling to be cruel to clean up the backyard.

He couldn't help but get angry, and he took the trouble to teach him the principles of life. This son is good everywhere, but he is just a guy with soft ears. He was so bewildered, Old Situ was so angry that he said sternly;

"You can't be bothered to clean it up, right? Don't let the crime fall into the hands of the old man. If there is something wrong, tell the old man to catch it. Either the family law will be disabled, or it will be sold to the frontier fortress to serve as a slave to those military households..."

Lu Jiaojiao saw that what Aye said was good, but she was about to lose her temper again, so she performed her magical skills again;

"Ah~yeah, please speak softly, you're frightening me..."

"Oh, okay, okay, okay, Aye, keep your voice down, just keep your voice down, my son, you don't have to be afraid..."
