Gongsun Jian also had mixed feelings after hearing this, if a person can raise his head to be a man, who wants to lower his head and not be a person, in the past, everyone in the rivers and lakes raised their heads, and there were many people who were confident, but now in this rivers and lakes, everyone is bowing their heads, and there are many people who bow their heads, so they can no longer lift up.

In this way, it is no wonder that Ma Miao will succumb to the powerful, he has no ability, and he is controlled by others, so he can only be manipulated by others.

Gongsun Jian sighed with emotion for no reason, "All the injustices in this world are caused by the lack of ability of the parties. ”

Ma Miao nodded heavily, "So Uncle Yu taught me this lesson, and the lesson was not right, the little nephew sincerely accepted it, but if Uncle Yu felt disappointed, the little nephew would be bitter and couldn't speak." ”

Yu Youjun nodded slightly, "Maybe I'm really old and don't quite understand what the current situation is in the rivers and lakes, but I still insist on that idea, if a person is firm in his heart and wants to raise his head, no one can press it, but a person wants to keep his head down forever, and no one can hold it up, and it is more comfortable to fall than to insist." ”

After listening to this speech, Ma Miao's originally gloomy eyes bloomed with a little essence, and his eyelids, which he seemed to have been unable to lift, also opened, "Uncle Yu, the little nephew has been taught." ”

Since Ma Miao was alone, everything depends on other people's preferences to do things, for fear of doing something wrong, he has never lived for himself, maybe today's words of Yu Youjun can change him and be a person who "holds his head high".

The corners of Ma Miao's mouth finally showed a smile again, "Anyway, Liufu is offended, then let him go, I'm fed up with these birds, anyway, if the two of you don't come today, my shop will be taken away, so I will throw it to Liufu, the man is trapped in a corner, like a frog at the bottom of a well, short-sighted, after today, I will also go outside for a walk." ”

Gongsun Jian slapped his forehead, "Brother Ma, it's best if you can see it, but I might as well tell you the truth, this shop, Tianwang Laozi can't take it away when he comes, what I said...... No, Master Yu said! ”

Ma Miao frowned, he looked at the young man in front of him who was a few years younger than himself, since the words had already been spoken, there was no point in talking about it now.

Unexpectedly, his Uncle Yu nodded, "What Gongsun said is extremely true, Ma Miao, you don't have to worry too much, no one in the shop can take it away, whether you want to continue to make cold tofu here in the future, or if you want to travel, it's all up to you to decide." ”

"This ...... Uncle Yu...... What the hell is going on? ”

Ma Miao can say that Gongsun Jian is bragging, but he never dares to say that Yu Youjun is also talking big, it is normal for a young man to say something inconsequential, but Yu Youjun is already very mature and will not be so childlike.

Yu Youjun smiled loudly and did not speak.

Gongsun Jian acted as a commentator next to him, "Okay, let's not pretend anymore, we have a showdown with you, your Uncle Yu is Zhongzhou...... Ah no, it's the Northern Xinjiang Provincial Economic Envoy! ”

“……”

Ma Miao was speechless, just touched his head and looked at Yu Youjun, "Really? ”

"Brother Ma, you're not kind, do I seem to be lying? If you don't believe it, you can go to Liufu with us tomorrow to see if it's true or not! ”

Ma Miao swallowed his saliva, he was indeed a little incredulous, in his impression, Yu Youjun was just a chivalrous man with a bold temperament, although he met again after many years, his personality was no longer as heroic as it was back then, but it was reasonable for people to reach middle age. But just such a chivalrous man, you coldly told me that he was a feudal official of the imperial court, one of the few second-grade officials in the Great Zhou, the backbone of leading a major military and political affairs, and one of the newly added positions, no one dared to believe this question.

Yu Youjun nodded, "Tomorrow, you go to Liufu with me, just talk about this matter well, let's return the silver, and then let Liu Ershao apologize to you, and this matter will be over." ”

Gongsun Jian echoed: "Then let Liu Mian kowtow to you a few times, and send you back with a sedan chair, you will be the most powerful person in the entire Beicheng in the future, if he doesn't follow, I will transfer 3,000 people to you to increase your majesty!" ”

Yu Youjun kicked Gongsun Jian's buttocks, "Stinky boy, it's unreasonable!" Ma Miao, don't listen to him, tomorrow everything will be as I say. ”

Gongsun Jian rubbed his buttocks, and secretly slandered in his heart, you are unreasonable first, I learned this from General Yu......

Ma Miao scratched his head, is this what it feels like to meet a noble person at home......

"Whoa!"

Liu Dashi kicked down the expensive exquisite jade table, the tea utensils worth hundreds of taels of silver on it were shattered, and the beautiful jade inlaid on the outside of the table was also cracked inch by inch.

"Rubbish! This little thing can't be done! What use do I want you! ”

Liu Dashi slapped Liu Mian on the face of the crutches, and scolded angrily: "It's just a small shop!" A small shop! This small shop is in my restaurant, and it is a place to put the gate! You can't do that! ”

The more Liu Dashi spoke, the more angry he became, and kicked on Liu Mian's leg, who stabilized his body, gritted his teeth and endured the pain and did not dare to make a sound.

"Ninety-eight taels of silver! It's only ninety-eight taels of silver, and the one thousand taels I gave you later was for you to spend! You use your mind to think about it! ”

Liu Mian lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, this time it was the worst thing in his life, he should be punished and beaten, but he was also very aggrieved, that person was a master, not to mention, and he was also a big man, how could he dare to provoke him, the saddest thing was that he was in this situation, caught in the middle, unable to get benefits at both ends, and after being cut off a foot over there, he would continue to be beaten when he returned here.

Liu Dashi closed his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and laughed softly: "More than forty people, forty horses, and a store that is not as big as our doorman can't be taken, what are you doing?" ”

Liu Mian said in a low voice: "There is a person on the other side who is too powerful, just one move to turn the person we beat on his back and ......"

"You are a three-year-old child!"

Liu Dashi suddenly kicked Liu Mian in the abdomen again, and this time directly kicked the latter back, and a token fell to the ground.

"What is this, pick it up and show me."

Liu Mian picked up the token on crutches and struggled to get up and said: "I forgot to report to the young master, that person seems to be a high-ranking official, and this token is exactly the same as Master Shangshu......"

Liu Dashi took the token and looked at it carefully, his face was flat, and he couldn't see any expression fluctuations.

Liu Dashi suddenly laughed, followed by wild laughter, the whole house and even the entire small courtyard were his laughter, he said while laughing: "You mean, a strategic envoy, in a small shop at the gate of the north city, eating tofu?" After a little bit of eating a bowl of tofu for five cents? Really, if you don't say it, I thought that the tofu eaten by those high-ranking officials and ministers was the kind that cost thousands of taels of silver in the Qinglou, and it turned out that those bullish bigwigs also liked to eat tofu for five cents. ”

This second young master of the Liu family seemed to have heard the funniest joke in his life, and laughed very happily, "Seriously, Liu Mian, where did you get this token, it is really very similar to my grandfather's, you really lied, and said one after another excuses that seemed reasonable but not reasonable at all, what waved your sleeves to repel more than 40 people, what kind of trick to eat tofu, are you taking me for a fool?" ”

As soon as Liu Mian heard this, he had to do it, in case this Liu Ershao really thought that he was lying to him, then he would die without a place to be buried.

He hurriedly shouted: "What his subordinates said is true! The man also said that he would visit the door tomorrow, and if his subordinates were the slightest lie, his subordinates would be willing to chop up their own pets and feed them to the young master! ”

Liu Dashi narrowed one eye, one eye was round, he glanced at Liu Mian with interest, "Originally, I really planned to chop you up and feed it to the dog, but now that Young Master Ben has changed his mind, I don't care if that person is a slight envoy, and I don't think about that small shop, let you live one more day, Young Master Ben just wants to see how a person feeds himself to the dog." ”

Liu Mian's face was very ugly.

Liu Dashi leaned out, and the expression on his face returned to a smiling appearance, "I know you have resentment in your heart, after all, you have been with me for so many years, you know a lot of my affairs, and you have also done a lot of shady things for me. ”

Liu Mian shook his head lightly, and he said cautiously: "Back to the young master's words, my subordinates don't know." ”

Liu Dashi gently patted Liu Mian's face with his palm, "I remember I told you before, even if you take the initiative to admit your mistakes, don't say anything and don't know, which makes me very disgusted." ”

Liu Mian didn't feel much about this extremely insulting action, and changed his words and said: "It should be that this time the subordinates did not do well, and they didn't take down this little thing beautifully, which made the young master ashamed." ”

"No, no, no, it's not a small thing, it's a big thing."

Liu Dashi waved his hand and said: "This matter seems to be nothing more than taking down a small shop, but in fact, this matter is very big. ”

Liu Dashi said and made an exaggerated gesture and continued: "My eldest brother Liu Dashan has been pressing me for 20 years, whether it is in the Guozijian or as an official, you know my business, I was ordered to drop out of school in the Guozijian, and I was also under the door of the Huangmen Shilang, but Jiang Shen's dog said that I didn't know how to be motivated, and called me back, which made me lose face in front of the entire large, medium and small Huangmenlang, and now Jiang Shen was beheaded all over the house, and the young master Ben felt comfortable. ”

"Jiang Shen deserves it, and it is his loss not to leave the young master."

Liu Dashi laughed, "I love to hear this, but what makes me most angry is that you didn't do this little thing, do you know how many things are involved behind this, my grandfather's old immortal is ready for my eldest brother to take over the mantle." ”

Liu Mian raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, he understood that if Liu Changshui let Liu Dashan inherit the family business, then Liu Dashi might never have the day in his life.

"So I have to do a few beautiful things, I bought a six-grade petty official from Huang Zemao, the head of the household, if I can gradually develop the old capital, that is, the north city, it is not impossible to be promoted, and then with the relationship with the head of the house, it is still very easy to get a four-grade official position, if I am one step ahead of my eldest brother and sit in the position of a high-ranking official, then my grandfather will not be able to change his mind."

Liu Dashi continued: "The first thing I did in the development of Beicheng was to build a big restaurant that would not lose the first floor in the world and drive Beicheng. It's a pity that you didn't take the shop, which delayed my plan for a lot of days, and that's what makes me most angry. ”

"Damn it!"

Liu Mian knew what was at stake, and he hurriedly knelt down with his remaining leg to confess.

"That's it, tomorrow when that man comes to visit, I will see who he is, but if you say it, you can't break your word."

Liu Mian bit her lip, "My subordinates understand!" ”

Liu Dashi waved his hand, "You stand down, it's hard to hold one leg." ”

Liu Dashi sat alone in the house, his expression gradually became cold, Liufu is a great scholar clan, but compared with other prosperous scholars, Liufu has a much smaller family strength, which makes Liufu have a set of survival rules around itself.
