pretending to be drunk and spitting out the truth, and interpreting the heart sound crookedly;

Mo Dao lost money in his studies, and sold himself for more money.

"You bow to me, make a bow, say hello, I will give you all these accounts!" Lu Xing joked with a cat and mouse smile.

"You, say, do you really speak?" Tian Demei didn't believe her ears.

"More than ten taels of silver is a huge amount of money in your eyes, but in my eyes it is just a horsehair; in your house, it is your wife and children to eat, drink and wear, and in my house it is just a little horn and half a moon of dog food!" Lu Xing replied disdainfully.

It's too easy to bow and raise your hand and bend over. And more than ten taels of silver is a year's harvest of more than ten acres of land, which is a high salary for teaching, and it can't be accumulated without two or three years - you can buy a few cars of rice and noodles, buy a hundred jars of good wine, and spend a year as a family of four...... Tian Demei thought about it, Xiucai's identity had already flown to Java in the sound of copper coins, and before she knew it, her waist had bent like a fried prawn: "Hello Young Master Lu, please say hello to Young Master Lu!" Thank you, thank you, thank you Young Master Lu for accumulating blessings and doing good deeds, helping the weak and helping the poor!"

Seeing that Tian Demei was bowing and bowing, Lu Xing laughed contemptuously and said: "Your identity is Xiucai, bow to me, a businessman who can't read two liters, don't you lose your identity? Isn't losing your identity just shameless? You say, do you want to be shameless?"

Tian Demei thought that Lu Xing's humiliating play might have caused trouble with his limerick poem "Shameless".

More than ten taels of silver have arrived in front of him, and he will fly if he doesn't catch it in time. Tian Demei was so anxious that her head was sweating, and her spine was dripping, so she could only dig out her mind to find reason, search her intestines and scrape her belly to find words, and cheekily explained and made up for Lou Zi: "Yes, I want face, no, I don't have a face, this, this is like an egg or a chicken, this, this is an incomprehensible paradox, a paradox!"

"If you want to be faced, you want to be faceless, and if you don't want to be face, what is the 'north' and 'south' theory? Duck riding a gourd, what kind of big egg bun are you laking?" Lu Xing insulted.

Tian Demei only pretended not to hear when she heard it, and just made up for Louzi as if the embankment was about to break in the flood fighting and rescue:

"On the surface, it seems that being shameless is opposite, but in fact, being shameless is relative.

"Xiang Yu wants to lose his life, Liu Bang can win the world; Han Xin can be humiliated by his crotch, and he will be a high-ranking official; his husband wants to have a face, and he will commit suicide in desperation - if you want a face, you have to have no face, and you have to have a face to have a face, which is all recorded in the history books.

"As the saying goes, if you die, you have to live with face, be thick-skinned, and eat enough, and this is the truth. If you want face too much, you will lose opportunities, and if you take face too seriously, it will be difficult for you to achieve great things. To succeed, you must insist on being shameless, and throwing your face away is equivalent to sweeping away half of the shackles. The big men of all dynasties and dynasties are all well versed in the study of thick black, and they insist on being shameless, so they embarked on the road to success!"

"So, it's better to be shameless?" Lu Xing leaned back with a smile and sneered.

"Of course, it's not okay to be shameless. People want faces, trees want bark. The tree dies without bark, and a man cannot live without a face. What is the face, the face is the identity and status of the person, that is, the reputation in the society, without the face, you can't stand up, you can't do things. In this environment of stressing the 'Three Guidelines' and the 'Five Constants', stressing loyalty to the monarch, and stressing serving the country, there are etiquette and rules everywhere, and if you are too willful, you will be destroyed immediately. This is a game of chess, the horse can't stop legs, the pawn can't retreat, you can't enter if you don't follow the rules, and you will be sanctioned step by step when you enter, and in fact, no one will come with you. Being bullied by others in accordance with the rules and committing crimes, this is the truth that it is difficult to live with a face, and it is difficult to live without a face. After all, he is a literati who has read a lot, and Tian Demei's thinking is straight, and his mouth is like a river.

"I'm grass, you're east and west for a while, isn't this poking your own guy in the face? Is it better to have a face or no shame?" Lu Xing picked a thorn.

Tian Demei saw that the foreshadowing was enough, so she brought out the limerick poem that she was ready to wash: "To be shameless for the sake of face, to ask for face without shame; to leave no bottom line for face, to be shameless and unscrupulous; to ask for face for yourself, shamelessly force others to be shameless." This is the same as the egg or the chicken, it is a paradox of faces, and it is also the common feeling of the world. Although I am not talented, I also had a feeling and wrote a limerick poem "Shameless", which is the phenomenon of Taoism.

The poem says:

set up a memorial arch for prostitution to make money, and pickled girls were not full of anger;

Hate not to have a wife and concubine as clean as jade, and rape all the beautiful women in the world. ”

Tian Demei shook her head and groaned, and explained: "When a bitch makes money, it is shameless, but she goes to the archway to ask for face, do you say this is to be shameless or shameless? Pickle girl is shameless, but the other party wants to be faceless and does not let him feel embarrassed, do you say this is to be face or shameless? I want my wife and concubine to be chaste, this is to be shameless, to play with other people's wives and daughters is shameless, you say this is to be shameless or shameless? For example, to be an official is to be embarrassed, to be an official is to be ashamed to speculate and engage in camps, to make a fortune is to be ashamed, and to make and sell fake goods for the sake of making a fortune is to be shameless...... You say, isn't my poem an answer to whether the world wants to be ashamed or not?"

Tian Demei's mouth was like a river, dancing with his hands, and distorting the crooked poems satirizing Lu Xing into a common phenomenon aimed at the world, not only downplaying his shameless embarrassment, but also eliminating Lu Xing's hatred: "I am grass! I am worthy of being a showman! I can be strong even if I ignore it, and a dead toad can pinch out urine!"

"Young Master Xie Lu praises!" Tian Demei looked at Lu Xing's face, and felt that the promise of the debt just now could not be changed, so she breathed a sigh of relief, bent her waist to ninety degrees, and her voice trembled with excitement.

"Okay, I read that you are a talent, you can talk crookedly, and a dead toad can pinch out urine, I will reward you for a shameless job today!" Lu Xing teased.

Tian Demei thought that Lu Xing was going to play him again, and her face changed in fright: "What, what kind of work?"

"Give me the oil mill bookkeeper, and protect the wealth and grain, ten taels of silver per month, and look at the performance at the end of the year to give awards, this is the face I give you, and it is also the face you want!"

"Thank you, Young Master Lu! Thank you, Young Master Lu! This is Young Master Lu's face! How can it be shameless?" Tian Demei was a little puzzled.

"At the same time, he is also my military advisor, helping me come up with ideas, making up for Louzi, and doing some things that are shameless and shameless. Isn't this what you said to be shameless?" Lu Xingxi replied.

"Yes, yes, I see. Shame is the rule, shamelessness is the dark rule, face is the goal, shamelessness is the means......"

Tian Demei wanted to explain further, but Lu Xing interrupted: "Just understand, what so much nonsense!"

"Yes, I must talk less and think more, be careful and strict!"

"Go back and prepare, go to work tomorrow!"

"Yes! Thank you, Young Master Lu! Thank you, Young Master Lu!"

Mr. Oilmill Accountant is equivalent to the factory accountant of later generations, and Baocai Grain is equivalent to the director of the township finance office of later generations, although he is not in the Yamen Officials sequence, but his actual interests are no less than those of small officials such as county officials and squad heads, and the title of Xiucai who has no actual interests is even more heaven and earth.

Tian Demei got into trouble and was blessed to enter the Luxing Group, and was so happy that Hanako picked up a gold ingot, and woke up laughing several times a night.

Since then, he has not talked about "temperament", but only "solar terms"; what flowers he blooms in what season, and what rudder he uses when the wind blows. He revised the pursuit of "studying to be an official" and "being loyal to the emperor" to "study to make a fortune" and "be loyal to Lu Xing"; he integrated the familiar rules of etiquette with the unspoken rules of society; and applied the lessons and lessons he learned from the rise and fall of dynasties to make suggestions for Lu Xing. Lu Xing waved his hand, he ran forward with his feet upside down; Lu Xing said something, he immediately nodded and bowed; Lu Xing stabbed Lou Zi, he immediately provided remedial measures; Lu Xing left after pulling, he immediately went to wipe it; if he really couldn't make up for it, and he couldn't wipe it clean, he took the initiative to take the blame. He dug up his mind all day long, came up with crooked ideas, did unethical work, packaged despicability, and covered up crimes, so that Lu Xing's bad deeds increased every year, and he went to the county government to report on his work (that is, the work report of later generations) and was praised every year.

According to legend, someone secretly called him "lick beautifully" with the homonym of his name, and he not only listened to it without shyness, but also shamelessly replied with a limerick:

"Tanaka grain millet sweat exchange, how can you want to be beautiful?

Judging the situation and changing the word, opening the mouth and sticking out the tongue is beautiful. ”

Although this legend is too straightforward, vulgar, and undocumented, and is suspected of being made up by characters such as envy, jealousy, and hatred, Tian Demei has abandoned the dignity of Xiucai and has completely degenerated into Lu Xing's dog that can think about what the master thinks and what the master is anxious about, and is obedient and can bite people.

Tian Demei is loyal to Lu Xing, but after all, he is a new outsider, and he is still a talented person who has read a lot of books and has been trained in etiquette.

Tian Demei knew that she had not yet entered Lu Xing's inner circle, and she was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks all day long, always thinking that she could help Lu Xing do something secret and important in order to gain absolute trust.
