Chapter 21 Missing Person Notice
The highest level of sycophancy is not only to speak nicely and melodiously, but also to do what he likes, to be able to unconsciously guide the other party to get a sense of participation and satisfaction from it, and not to appear to be particularly vulgar.
Li Yu's eyes really lit up, and he said to himself: "At the beginning of Zen meditation, the mountains are mountains, and the water is water; When Zen is enlightened, the mountain is not a mountain, and the water is not water; In Zen, the mountains are still mountains, and the water is still water...... Wonderful, wonderful, this verse actually expounds the three realms of meditation and gradual enlightenment so plainly understandable but with far-reaching meaning. ”
"Oh, yes, the old minister felt even more when he heard it. The old minister has lived a handful of years, and the official family uses the three realms of Buddhism to insinuate the world, which is also infinitely useful. In a person's life, it is said that there are three stages in a person's life, and each stage has a different view and understanding of things. These three realms are truly wonderful. ”
Li Yu's heart fluttered when he heard it, the three realms he had just sublimated were applied to his life by Xu You, this feeling was really good. Xu You's sycophants were shot endlessly, and even Li Yu himself couldn't notice it.
It's just that Li Yu's focus is on these places, places involving military and political affairs, such as about Hezhou, about the Song army's attack on Han, but he swallowed dates, and after hearing about it, he gave up, leaving only the impression that "this son has a hand in observing the current situation".
"Gong Xu, what is this person's name? Xuan brought his wine and food into the palace for me to see. ”
Xu You woke up, Li Yu felt that he had chatted with the other party so deeply, it should be a closer relationship, so he had a misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained: "Official, please let me discuss this kind of grace later." To be honest, Lao Chen didn't know his specific name and surname, yesterday Lao Chen, Ziqiao, and Naichen were all in civilian clothes, and they didn't reveal their identities, so they couldn't take the initiative to ask the kid's name and surname. Yesterday was a meeting in Pingshui, a gentleman's friend. ”
Li Yu laughed out loud after hearing this, and quipped: "The three of you can be the big daddy of the shopkeeper, and you even play New Year's handover, it's really interesting." Duke Xu, since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to come forward, and send someone to buy some wine and food first, I will taste it first, and see if it is as Xu Gong said, and it is better to compare it with the comparison in the palace. ”
"This ...... Official, it is estimated that the people sent out these days will not be able to buy it. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"The official family, the old minister didn't know much about this matter at first, but when he was chatting with the official family just now, he suddenly understood. The shopkeeper of this Wangjiang Building understands people's hearts and human nature, and is limited to ten altars of 'drunken life and dream death' every day, and only tries it in the ring of 'three bowls but not the river', and the restaurant does not sell it for the time being, but the more so, the more people who rush to it, and the more people who leap to try. Those few new dishes, even Lao Chen borrowed the light of Naichen and ate them in advance, and only a small amount of hospitality was done in the restaurant, and it had not yet begun to be included in the menu, and Lao Chen estimated that it would take a few days for the crowd of spirits to be introduced. ”
Li Yu also made a difficulty, this should be the first time since he ascended the throne that he encountered someone who wanted to eat but couldn't eat. But the more this is the case, the more I really think about it, like a silk thread that ties my appetite and turns into a trace of thought.
"Official, in two days, the old minister will go to Wangjiang Tower again, and he will see if there is absolutely anyone in the name of the eternal, I expect this kid to treat each other politely, and then the old minister will come back with some wine and food to give the official family a taste, so that it may also be a good story for the ages."
Li Yu smiled dumbly and said: "At that time, the wine and food I ate were actually the Wen'an County of the Tang Dynasty who came out of his cheeks, haha, I really didn't expect that there would be this moment, interesting and interesting, since this is the case, I will wait for the good news." ”
Li Yu's mood this day was completely unaware of the panic, helplessness, and anxiety when he saw the battle report, and the satisfaction of consciousness brought by Buddhism made him feel very comfortable.
In this Southern Tang Palace, important military and political affairs sometimes become miscellaneous matters dotted in between. In Li Yu's heart, the national strength of the Tang State was the strongest among the surrounding countries, even surpassing the Central Plains, if it were not for the loss of the fourteen states in Jiangbei, the Song State would not be in their eyes at this time. There are many famous ministers and warriors in the imperial court, and even many talents who come to take refuge from the north, and there are the most profound Buddhist monks in the entire Chinese land outside the imperial court. I just hope that the Song Kingdom in the north will not be too aggressive, so that these peaceful years will last longer.
However, the whitewashed peace is like a calm sea, but there are ups and downs and even turbulent undercurrents. After noon, in front of the sign that had been erected outside the door of Wangjiang Tower, there were more than 20 people dressed in tatters, unclothed, and even holding broken bowls and bamboo canes, mostly children of seven or eight years old, including men and women, and nearly 20 people; There are also four or five young people in their twenties who are numb, and there are two middle-aged and elderly people who are rickety. It seems that these people are almost either beggars or outcasts.
The sign had four large characters on it, "Missing Person Notice", and there was no other explanation. Those who paid attention to this subtle change were also some people who had conflicts of interest with Wangjianglou such as Huajian Lou, and there were almost no passers-by at this time.
Whether these beggars or homeless people, in Zhen Feng's view, they are almost no different from himself a few days ago, they are the lowest level of this society, the inner part of a country, and the real dignity of the country.
Zhen Shuang, Zhen Bang and Zhen Ling, the three siblings looked at Zhen Feng in a show off, these were all found by them according to Zhen Feng's requirements, although they didn't know why they were looking for these dirty people, but this was what the eldest brother said, and that was enough.
The eldest lady who likes cleanliness Wyeth couldn't bear it, so she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in the restaurant, called Zhen Feng and asked, "Brother Feng, who are you looking for, why are they all beggars coming to the door?" ”
"Recruit workers for the restaurant."
Wyeth then realized that the "missing person notice" is not really looking for something missing, but a pun. Thinking that she might be under the same roof with these people in the future, she felt a little nervous in her heart, not only afraid of the stench, but also afraid that the hands and feet of unknown people would not be clean. It's just that the second sister-in-law, Wu, can't recruit people from conventional channels, and she also knows it.
Seeing that Auntie was so hesitant, Zhen Feng explained: "Auntie, don't worry, many of these people are clean-minded, and they are much better than the guys who left us a few days ago." The nephew will do some investigation of them, and will not let some people fish in troubled waters. Auntie, some of these people are reduced to this point because they can't survive, we can help some of them, and kind people shouldn't end up in such a miserable situation. ”
The last sentence seemed to sting Wyeth somewhere in his heart, and he also thought of Zhen Feng's past, so he nodded heavily in agreement.
