Chapter 716: A Life's Pain

As the nephew of the Liu family, he can be regarded as half the master. Therefore, Li Yi also greeted him diligently, toasted everyone present, and put on his high hat one by one with his three-inch tongue, which soon won the praise of everyone, and he became closer when he spoke.

Lian Chang'an said: "Although I have been in Guanzhong for a long time, I have also heard of the resounding reputation of Li Yi, the Xuanfu envoy of Yunnan. Hehe! The shadow of this person's famous tree is better than meeting! As soon as I saw the face of Brother Shi today, I understood that this resounding reputation was not in vain, and Brother Li was indeed the pillar of the imperial court! ”

Li Yi smiled and said: "The next born boy, it's just a fluke to win some cheap names, how dare you show off in front of you?" Hehe! It's just a waste of fame. ”

The man named Ji Jiwu next to him smiled and said, "Master Li, how can this be called a wasteful name?" Young is already a handsome in Yunnan, and the roots of wisdom are deep, talented, in just three years, Yunnan has changed its appearance, I heard that last year's government revenue, it is about to catch up with the entire Xingwang Mansion, this is a great achievement! Especially the victories with the Great Yi Ning Kingdom, it was a desperate fight with real swords and guns! Who has the courage of Lord Li! ”

Li Yi smiled humbly: "That's all in the past, isn't it all stained with the light of the pseudo-righteous Ningguo?" How can I do it on my own! Hehe! I won't hide it from you, I am now working at the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, and the daily price is to read and write, but it is not as beautiful as before. Oh! However, if you can use my Li Yi's place, I can still serve you wholeheartedly. ”

The fat-headed and big-eared Yan Huai laughed and said, "Who in the Hanlin Academy dares to say that they look down on it? I have been studying poetry and books for many years, and I have never even studied seriously, and I dare not think about Jinshi or anything. I didn't even dare to dream of Hanlin Temple, that place was too far away from me. ”

"Huh! Master Hanlin is also an official of the five grades! Look at Master Ji, in his early forties, he is only a regimental training envoy of the state capital, and he is only a six-rank rank! Oh! And it's from the sixth grade, people are more popular than dead people! Ha ha! ”

When Ji Jiwu heard this, he said with annoyance: "Yan Zhutou, you don't have to bury me, I know that I have become an official, and a person like me who can't even write an annual review is so promising." But you're not ordinary! After reading poetry books for so many years, I didn't even have a chance to be a small official of the nine grades, but I could only play with the abacus. ”

Everyone laughed together, but Yan Huai was not annoyed, but just smiled and said: "As soon as the abacus sounds, there are 10,000 taels of gold, and there are millions of people who come in and out of my side every year, if the mind is not clear, how dare the owner hand over this errand to me?" Hehe! You're different, relying on the annual buckle and rope to eat some empty salary, I'm afraid you can't even fill your stomach! Ha ha! ”

Everyone laughed again, and Li Zongwen on the other side said with a smile: "When it comes to studying and becoming an official, I should be the most wronged." Back then, I was recommended by the township to try Maocai, and it took almost no trouble to get my wish. It's just that after that, I took the test three times in vain. ”

"Hey, hey! The last time I participated in the same year as Brother Li Shi, I was a righteous champion! And I returned with a feather of a feather, and my hopes of becoming a scientific student were completely shattered, and I no longer had a trace of this thought. ”

Hearing this, Liu Mingjun said abruptly: "You are so good that you have a reputation for Maocai!" And me! It's just that because there were some conflicts in business with Fan Lao'er, the emperor deprived me of the way to scientific research for no reason, what is this not called partiality? ”

Liu Mingtang sighed: "Alas! You can't be blamed for this, in fact, it's all because my brother was too arrogant back then, and I had to compare myself with others, which caused both sides to not be able to get off the stage later. That Fan Lao'er is a person who will repay him, and the emperor supports him, we can't fight him. Alas! In this world, there is not only one way to obtain a scientific examination, isn't our family's current business also doing well? ”

Li Zongwen next to him said indignantly: "With the talent of our young owner, it is not easy to take the Jinshi exam, but he was killed by a traitor, and his ambition cannot be stretched." The old boss makes it clear that when the business grows bigger, he is the leader of the mall, so let's give him a real chapter in the business field. ”

Seeing the dull atmosphere, Li Yi hurriedly changed the topic and said, "How is the second uncle's business in the capital?" My nephew and I also have some business friends in the capital, maybe I can help a little! ”

Liu Mingjun said silently: "You are a person in the officialdom, so you don't have to worry about these business matters." Some people are staring at our Liu family, but I can't let you fall into it again. Hehe! However, I know who your friend is, isn't it Mr. Lin Qingliang Lin from Yunnan? ”

"I'm different from him, there is almost no intersection between us in business, he is running restaurants, inns, food, wine and tea, etc., but I am specialized in grain, silk, cloth, jewelry and jade, mountain treasures and leather goods, etc., and even the sale of horses is only the largest one in the whole Han here."

"It's just that although there is no business contact, it is still necessary to get to know him, and when I enter Beijing for the New Year, let's visit him together!"

Li Yi hurriedly nodded and agreed. The banquet continued, and everyone was drunk and in high spirits, and they exchanged glasses with each other, and they had already thrown the unpleasantness out of the clouds.

Li Yi picked up his wine glass and smiled at Tang Jingyuan, who was sitting next to me: "I have admired the Tang Sect in Shuzhong for a long time, and I just hate to know one or two famous people. Now that Brother Tang is living in Lingnan, it has given me great convenience, and I will ask for more benefits in the future! ”

Although Tang Jingyuan was not good at words, he could still say what he said on the scene, and he smiled happily: "Brother Li is ashamed of what he said!" I've read a few books, and I'm very envious of you readers. can win fame in the cold window for ten years, and I don't know how many sleepless days and nights have been spent. Oh! In the future, I will rely on Brother Li Shi for more advice! ”

Li Yi didn't even dare to say it, and said solemnly: "The Tang Gate in Shuzhong has an outstanding reputation, not only proud of Sichuan and Shu, but also has a great reputation in the north and south of the river. The scale of the Tang Gate in Shuzhong is so huge, and Brother Tang Shi is among them, and he is an outstanding figure in the door, which shows that the prosperity of the Tang Gate is not caused by luck! ”
