Chapter 74: The Waiter

Zhang Shi is a wealthy middle-aged man with kind looks and good eyes. With a small goatee at the corner of his mouth, a slight gray hair on his temples, a typical Chinese face, and an unnatural smile indicate that he has been up and down in officialdom for many years.

Zhang Zhi said with a smile: "If you can be favored by your uncle, you must have something extraordinary." My name is Zhang Zhi, the word is discussed, and I am a small master bookkeeper, and I am polite here. ”

Ren Yi replied: "Zijian is a person who is a little late, and it is really a blessing to see Brother Ziyi. ”

Ren Yi continued: "The old doctor took a fancy to Yi and Yi an opportunity to repay the emperor's kindness, and Yi's contributions to this point are worthy of being compared to the sages. ”

Zhang Zhi said: "Uncle said to me, it is on demand by the king, and there are tens of thousands of people. If this merit is not magnificent, then there is no great merit in the world. ”

Zhang Shi continued: "And Jun is not only generous and benevolent, but also wants to emulate Huo Hussar. Such a generous gentleman like you, how can I chill your heart to serve the country? ”

"Jun came from a slightly cold background and did not learn etiquette. However, the matter is not unsolvable. I will grant Jun the basic face saint rites within three days, in preparation for the holy edict, as for Zhang Changshi, I have several faces with Zhang Changshi, I can make it convenient for you, and in private I will go to see Zhang Changshou with Jun and his uncle, and I expect that this matter is fine. ”

Ren Yi arched his hand and said, "In this way, there will be Brother Laozi." ”

Zhang Zhi said: "The person who can be looked down upon by his uncle must be a rare talent, and it is too much to say that he has work." After a while, I took you around the house to eliminate the anger of getting off the boat. Five days later, at the latest, I took you to the inner city to ask to see Zhang Changshi, and by the way, let you see the prosperity of the inner city of Luoyang. ”

Ren Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Ziyi, a person from the countryside, seeing this outer city of Luoyang is like seeing the Heavenly Palace. This inner city of Luoyang is just the prosperity of the outer city. ”

Zhang Shi laughed: "Jun, this is rare and strange." The prosperity of the inner city of Luoyang, if you have never been to Luoyang, even if you want to break your head, you can't think of the beautiful scenery of the red dust. Let's wait and see, Luoyang will never let you down. ”

Ren Yi lived in Zhang Shi's mansion for three days. In the past three days, Zhang Shi went out early and returned late, attended the court meeting, and worked in the unit every day. In the evening, I will come back to help Ren Yi make up for his etiquette knowledge.

Ren Yi sorted out the general etiquette content: if you are summoned by the emperor, you must dress neatly to show respect; In addition, before going to the temple, it is necessary to take off one's shoes and remove one's sword. Anything else, Ren Yi didn't remember too much, just look at Zhang Zhi's eyes and act when the time comes.

Zhang Shi also expressed his understanding of this situation. A talent from the countryside, no matter how capable he is, it is impossible to remember so much red tape. Being able to remember the most important aspects proves that Ren Yi is already a talent. If you change people, you may not even remember a little bit.

In the supper, Zhang Zhi brought a pot of sake, and a few small dishes were arranged on the table, Zhang Shi, Zhang Bozu, and Ren Yi sat next to the case, Huang Zhong and Ran Ming were fighting for wine on the side, as for Huang Xu, his status was not high enough, so he had to eat with the little guys.

Zhang Shi said: "Zijian, I envy you very much, envy you for being so free and unrestrained. And Ziyi, when you encounter something bad, you can bother it all day, and you still can't let it go. ”

Ren Yi said: "Brother Ziyi, listen to my advice." Life is only a hundred years. If you can't do it, don't be sad and waste your body in vain. ”

Ren Yi continued: "Brother Ziyi's mansion, eating, drinking, and having fun are all available, when you are leisure, when you are sad, you can walk around and turn around, and you will find that it is just a vain. ”

Zhang Shiyi raised his head, drank a glass of wine, and said: "Brother Zijian is worthy of being a martial artist, but he is more open-minded than Confucian students such as me. ”

Zhang Shi changed his words and said, "Brother Zijian, there is a good thing, I want to tell you." ”

Ren Yi said: "Look at Brother Ziyi's red face, it seems that Zhang Changshou agreed to see me?" ”

Zhang Zhi said: "Zijian really knows the subtleties, and he is like a god. Yes, Zhang Changshou will be waiting for me at the mansion tomorrow night, Zijian, you say, is this great news? ”

When Ren Yi heard this, he was also stunned, and then hugged Zhang Shi and said, "Brother Ziyi, I don't thank you for my great kindness." However, Zhang Changshi, why did he meet an unknown person like me? ”

Zhang Shi said: "I told the Zhongchang Servant the idea that Zijian was alive in the tens of thousands and was willing to share the worries for the king, and Zhang Changshou immediately stroked his palms happily and laughed, and in this way, Zhang Changshou agreed. ”

Ren Yi already had a plan in his heart. After three rounds of drinking, everyone was slightly drunk.

The next day, Ren Yi put on the silk clothes specially prepared by Zhang Zhi for himself, and Ren Yi also took advantage of Zhang Shi's inattention to quietly hide a short knife on his waist. Just in case of an uncontrollable situation, with the combat power of a second-rate general, he can fight his way out, and then, as for whether to follow Zhang Jiaoming, or Dong Zhuo, or to be a bandit, let's talk about it.
