Chapter 1317: Chance Encounter
"This benevolent brother, mutton should not be eaten too much."
Just when Li Zhongyi was leading a pair of his daughters and eating heartily, a young scribe in a blue Confucian shirt suddenly walked over from the adjacent table and pointed out Li Zhongyi's mistake in a serious manner.
Li Zhongyi looked up at the blue-shirted scribe, he was in a good mood, so he put down his chopsticks, got up and smiled: "Oh, please also ask Brother Tai to give advice." ”
Gao Qiang was very unhappy in his heart, where did this blind guy come from, however, after Li Zhongyi glanced at him, he had to endure his unhappiness and secretly gestured to deploy the vigilance work.
"Mutton is also known as meat, carcass, and meat. It can not only resist wind and cold, but also replenish the body, and has therapeutic and tonic effects on all deficiency conditions such as general wind and cold cough, deficiency and asthma, kidney deficiency and impotence, abdominal cold pain, body weakness and coldness, waist and knee soreness, yellow muscle thinness, qi and blood deficit, post-illness or postpartum body deficiency and other deficiency have therapeutic and tonic effects.......
"It's just that although mutton is good, it is not suitable to be eaten with vinegar......" As soon as the blue-shirted scribe said this, Li Zhongyi immediately understood, when he was shabu-shabu, he did call vinegar, but the blue-shirted scribe saw the flaw.
"Brother Ren, please sit down, how about we have a drink and meat?" Li Zhongyi and his two daughters each occupied one position, and there happened to be one position left, so they simply invited the blue-shirted scribe to drink wine and eat meat together.
The blue-shirted scribe looked embarrassed, turned to point to a green-shirted scribe sitting nearby, and sighed: "There is still a partner below, and we can't leave him alone." ”
"Why don't you invite that brother over and have a good time?" Li Zhongyi happened to be in high spirits, so he greeted Lingniu and Si Niangzi with a smile and asked the two of them to sit together.
Si Niangzi was so quiet, she obediently moved over and sat on a bench with Lingniu, but Lingniu stared at Wenwei in the blue shirt, she didn't like to be disturbed by the rare time she had alone with Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi narrowed his eyes and warned Lingniu with his eyes that everyone who came was a guest and could not be polite.
After all, Lingniu didn't dare to violate the hospitality rules set by Li Zhongyi, so she simply turned her head and looked at the grand scene on the street.
The blue-shirted scribe hesitated for a moment, and finally walked back and whispered a few words to the green-shirted scribe because of his bold and open-minded personality.
The green-shirted scribe glanced at Li Zhongyi a few times, shook his head first, then nodded, and then followed the blue-shirted scribe to Li Zhongyi's table.
"In the lower Daimyo Mansion Pan Weide." The blue-shirted scribe introduced himself.
"It's really going to be Cao Can." The green-shirted scribe clenched his fists and said very little.
Li Zhongyi had already thought about it just now, and also hugged his fists and said: "In Xiafeng Qiu Huangzhen." ”
Huang Zhehuang also, Zhen is the milk name Zhen Brother is also!
"Oh, it turned out that it was Brother Huang in person, and he was rude." Pan Weide saluted again very politely.
Cao Can stood still, obviously a little reluctant to sit over, and shared the table with the young Lingniu and Si Niangzi.
According to the rules of this era, when Li Zhongyi was eating, Lingniu and Si Niangzi not only had no seats, but also had to avoid them.
From the perspective of etiquette, Li Zhongyi invited Pan Weide and the two to sit together for wine, and Lingniu and Si Niangzi should get up and dodge.
However, Li Zhongyi is not a pseudo-Taoist, he finally found time to lead his two daughters to go shopping, and naturally he was reluctant to let the two of them avoid going out to "punish the station".
Pan Weide knew that Li Zhongyi did not reprimand the little lady's irregularity, but he just sat down as if there was no such thing.
Cao Can was very unhappy, but because Pan Weide had already sat down, he was embarrassed to brush his sleeves away, so he had to pinch his nose and sit down with him.
Li Zhongyi saw Cao Can's displeasure, but he just didn't see it, and told Gao Qiang with a smile: "You go and tell the store, just say that I have settled the accounts of the two brothers, Pan and Cao." ”
In this way, Cao Can's face softened slightly, he had ordered a lot of good dishes with Pan Weide just now, and it cost a lot of money.
"Brother Huang, did you just say that mutton can be dipped in vinegar and eaten?" Pan Weide knew Cao Can's personality, so he deliberately diverted the topic.
Li Zhongyi didn't rush to explain, and after the store's wine doctor came over and put on new chopsticks and dishes, he said slowly: "Vinegar can be left over to nourish saliva, and it has the effect of appetizing food......
He was originally a saint of traditional Chinese medicine, and he explained the knowledge in the professional field, which can be said to be easy and effortless.
"Oh, that's the truth, the little brother has been taught!" Pan Weide suddenly realized and hurriedly thanked him.
Cao Can originally thought that Li Zhongyi was just an illiterate person with a little money in his pocket, but he didn't think that Li Zhongyi turned out to be witty, and in his speech, he had some demeanor of everyone, he immediately put away his contempt and said: "The student has been taught!" ”
Li Zhongyi's eyes flashed slightly, all those who claimed to be students in these years were all scholars.
"It is said that the imperial court is going to open Enke recently?" Li Zhongyi deliberately adopted the method of throwing bricks and attracting jade, and led the topic to the imperial examination.
"Don't hide it from Brother Huang, I and Brother Cao Xian have been studying in the capital and plan to participate in the Autumn Festival." Pan Weide is indeed a straightforward person, and without waiting for Li Zhongyi to continue to ask, he directly explained the purpose of coming to Beijing.
Li Zhongyi nodded, the Autumn Rite Examination, commonly known as the Provincial Examination, is a major event that determines the fate of readers.
The imperial examination system of the Later Zhou Dynasty was divided into regular subjects, system examinations and martial arts. Among them, the martial arts, because Li Zhongyi established the system of teaching martial arts, has existed in name only.
The regular department is divided into more than 50 subjects, such as Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Juncai, Mingfa, Mingzi, Mingshu, etc., among which Jinshi is particularly important.
The system of subjects, also known as large subjects or special subjects, is not a regular examination, from time to time, and the main purpose is to select a variety of special talents.
In fact, Li Zhongyi has no expectations for the two subjects of Ming Law and Ming Calculation in the regular department, as well as the various special talents in the system department.
The talent of the Ming Law can be selected into the Dali Temple, and the Dali Temple is now in the most need of professional talents.
As for the talents who are able to calculate clearly, they are the available talents for the account room, tax customs, measuring acres of land, and so on.
As for the special talents in the system, because of their subject settings, Li Zhongyi has a sense of expectation.
To put it bluntly, Li Zhongyi is not interested in Jinshike's scriptures, poems, and strategies, and thinks that these are just fake big empty moans without illness.
The imperial examination in this era is like the baton of the college entrance examination in later generations, which subjects are valued by those in power, and scholars must delve into those subjects in order to become officials and change their life destiny.
It's just that Li Zhongyi doesn't want to cancel the entrance examination of the Jinshi Department rashly, anyway, if he doesn't give the actual official, he will be raised in the Hanlin Academy, and he has no chance to make gray money, just a few more mouths to eat, it's not a big deal.
When the time is ripe, Li Zhongyi will definitely reform the subject of Jinshi Subject, many times, the reform can't be rushed, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, from the issuance of the imperial court's edict of Kaienke, it has only been ten days now. However, the two benevolent brothers Pan and Cao were already in the capital, so it is conceivable that they should have arrived a long time ago.
The logic is very simple, in ancient times, it was not as convenient as the modern high-speed rail or airplane, and it took at least half a month to walk from the Daimyo's Mansion or Zhending to Kaifeng City.
"I don't know the two brothers, which subject are you going to take?" Li Zhongyi deliberately asked vague questions in order to elicit more truth.
Pan Weide did not doubt it, and said with a hearty smile: "Naturally, it is the Jinshi Branch, my father tasted it, the four seas are one, and the peace in the world is not far away. ”
Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, as the saying goes, fight the world immediately, get off the horse and rule the people, isn't it the world of the civil servants in peacetime?
Seeing Li Zhongyi turn his head to look at him, Cao Can sighed and said, "It's not as good as Brother Pan's learning, it's just that my father is forcing me to learn Chinese, and my father's order is not daring to disobey." ”
Spit in the face of strangers is actually a good way to decompress yourself psychologically.
Many times, your psychological words, even if they are hardcore, do not dare to speak completely directly. However, if you meet a stranger on the train, you can talk about it.
Li Zhongyi can see that this Cao Can and Pan Weide are all the way in his bones, but Cao Can attaches more importance to etiquette and is far less open-minded than Pan Weide.
It is impossible to talk dryly, let alone without wine, Li Zhongyi glanced at Zhang Sanzheng, he immediately picked up the wine jug, and poured a full cup of wine for Li Zhongyi, Cao and Pan.
"Come on, come on, let's meet in Pingshui, but we are also destined people, drink this cup to congratulate it!" Although Li Zhongyi didn't read much, he was also an emperor who grew up in the Great Confucianism, and naturally he was also cultivated with a bit of elegance.
Pan Weide smiled slightly and joked: "This champion red wine is a little stronger than his daughter's red, isn't Brother Huang afraid of drinking too much and not finding his way home?" ”
Li Zhongyi put down the empty cup, laughed, and said, "It's okay, there is the chief housekeeper and the second housekeeper here, and the road home is unimpeded." ”
At this time, Cao Can noticed Gao Qiang and Zhang Sanzheng with broad shoulders and round waist, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The two of you must have practiced martial arts for many years, right?" ”
Li Zhongyi pretended to be surprised and asked: "How can you see it?" He thought to himself, Cao Can's eyesight is still good, and it is likely that he is also a martial artist.
The so-called South Ship and North Horse are indeed in line with the local environment. The Daimyo Mansion and the Zhending Mansion in the north, because they are located at the forefront of resisting the Khitan, the folk practice of martial arts prevails, and there are many warriors who are skilled in bows and horses.
Cao Can smiled slightly and said, "This brother should be a good shooter." Pointing to the thick callus on the index finger of Zhang Sanzheng's left hand.
Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, Cao Can's eyesight was indeed extraordinary, Zhang Sanzheng was originally a sharpshooter selected from the bow and crossbow camp.
"As for this benevolent brother, he must be good at knife splitting." In Cao Can's words, when Gao Qiang was a pawn before, he used to be the best among the sword and shield soldiers.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the chat was almost over, Li Zhongyi smiled and said tentatively: "Presumably Brother Cao is from a martial arts family in Zhending, right?" ”
ps: Although the number of votes did not reach 462, the brothers were too powerful, and they coded the plus more in advance. Although Sikong does not grab the list, the power of refueling code words is surging! Ask for a few monthly passes, encourage and encourage the hard-working Sikong.
