Chapter 288: The Eye Is Above the Top
Lu Lizhan stroked his palms and laughed: "The handsome Chinese New Year's Eve is also a good trip, and it is not shallow!" A few of us imitate the joy of the child, reminiscing about the elegant life of the past, and we have a lot of insights. ”
"The handsome man came at the right time, why don't you go in and have a few drinks, everyone is a fast talker, drinking and singing, what a pleasure!"
Li Yi smiled and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I don't know who my brother invited to visit, Li Yi came rashly, I'm afraid of blowing your Yaxing!" Hehe! As he spoke, he looked at the few people who had just entered the house and turned back, and saw that there were Dongfang Jing and Lu Boping inside.
Lu Lizhan smiled and said: "The handsome man has no reason to worry, these elegant people are all friends of Lu, either Yunnan scholars, or Lingnan sages." Today coincides with its meeting, but what is it if it is not fate. Come on, come on! Let me introduce you to the handsome, and let these Lingnan ladies see the demeanor of our handsome. ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly led Li Yi to the front of those people, and after explaining Li Yi's identity first, he pointed to a middle-aged man dressed in gray feathers, tall and thin, with a high nose and broad cheeks, and said: "This is Mr. Yang Zantu Yang of Lingnan, Mr. Yang is unique in calligraphy and painting, and Lingnan is unparalleled, so you are so close." ”
Li Yi hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted, and said some polite words such as Jiuyang, and Yang Zantu was also busy returning the salute and greeting a few words.
Then Lu Lizhan pointed to a man in his sixties with a face as white as jade and a beautiful beard and introduced: "This is Mr. Zheng Gu Zheng of Lingnan's 'strings and shocking thousands of miles', he lives in the plum blossom valley of Baiyun Mountain, and is accompanied by birds day and night, and it can also be said that he is famous for his immortal books." ”
After the two greeted each other, Lu Lizhan then pointed to the last ugly man with a short stature and a dark and obscene face: "This is our Lingnan talented and rich eight buckets, rich and five cars, astronomical and geography all-encompassing, and all-knowing subset of history Mr. Cui Jiruo Cui, if you say that you are knowledgeable, you can compete with the handsome you as the champion, hehe!" ”
Li Yi saw that this person was extremely ugly, but he was full of arrogance and extraordinary temperament, and knew that this kind of person was obsessed with appearance, and he also cared about other people's opinions, and he had some inferiority complex, and he must not be offended.
Therefore, as soon as Lu Lizhan finished speaking, Li Yi hurriedly and respectfully hugged his fists and saluted: "Li Yi is not talented, it is really an honor to meet Mr. Gao Xiancui." Please also ask Mr. Cui for more advice! ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yi's words fell, Cui Jiruo's flat nose snorted coldly, and then he raised his head to the sky and never said a word again, seeing that he was disdainful of Li Yi.
Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, this guy doesn't know where it is sacred, he really doesn't know the truth of human ethics, he salutes so sincerely, even if you are arrogant, you can't look at it with disdain!
Anyway, you are also the highest local governor in Yunnan, and your eccentric style of a worldly master should be a little restrained in front of the marshal.
Face is given to each other, and if you meet an arrogant official, maybe they will give you small shoes to wear immediately, even if it is a deliberate attempt to kill you.
This kind of person! It's just that you don't know anything in the social field, and if you offend people, you don't care, and in the end it won't be much better.
Seeing the embarrassing scene, Lu Lizhan thought that he knew this person's style, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Cui cherishes words like gold, and he usually doesn't want to say more, but he doesn't deliberately snub the handsome." ”
"Come, come, come! I think today are all fellow people, you don't have to be formal, everyone sit in the house together, until the dawn of the rooster crows, we vow not to stop, hehe! Please! ”
As he spoke, he was afraid that Cui Jiruo would make something strange, so he had already rushed over, grabbed Cui Jiruo's arm, and pushed him into the house.
Seeing the tall and strong Lu Lizhan and inviting the thin Cui Jiruo to the house like an eagle catching a chicken, Li Yi couldn't help but secretly laugh, this scene was really funny.
But when I peeked at Cui Jiruo's expression, I saw that he looked as usual, and he didn't look angry at all, but a smile appeared at the corner of his eye.
After everyone sat down, Lu Lizhan had already instructed the boy to change the cups and rearrange the dishes. and Li Yi and Lian Jun each served a cup of tea, and everyone sat down, but they didn't know where to start, but the atmosphere cooled down for a while.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi hurriedly said to Yang Zantu: "You travel in Yunnan, I don't know if you can still take advantage of it, if there is any inconvenience, just tell Li Yi." ”
Before Yang Zantu could reply, Cui Jiruo, who described the obscenity, preemptively said with a disdainful face: "The roads are uneven, the rivers and seas are not quiet, the atmosphere is not lifted, the officials are rich and the people are poor, what is there to talk about, the current situation in Yunnan is really unbearable!" ”
Hearing Cui Jiruo's mean words, although Li Yi was not angry in his heart, he also knew that such an arrogant person must have something extraordinary, and if he was careful, he would be looked down upon even more.
So the look on his face remained unchanged, but he smiled slightly: "Yunnan has gone through turmoil, and now it is in ruins, as Mr. Cui said, Yunnan is unsatisfactory in all aspects, Li Yi is thinking hard about the governance plan, and is trying to do something to benefit the people of Yunnan." ”
"I only hate to be shallow in my studies, my ability is limited, and I am fortunate to meet you today, if you don't give up, I have to ask you to speak freely, so as to feast on the old folks in Yunnan."
As he spoke, Li Yi's eyes were firmly fixed on Cui Jiruo, and he said in his heart, you didn't give me a good face as soon as you came up, and you deliberately accused Yunnan of all aspects.
If there is a plan in your chest, then express your heart and say one, two, three, four, otherwise, blindly only knowing and boasting will only make you look down on yourself even more.
That Cui Jiruo snorted coldly again, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, then wiped the wine stains on his mouth with his sleeve, sighed and said: "I have traveled thousands of miles from Lingnan to Yunnan, and I have passed countless states, counties, and villages. From east to west, the more magnificent and beautiful the scenery of the mountains and rivers, the more impoverished the common people become. ”
"Thinking that Li Dashuai is a person from Xingwangfu, why has he taken over Yunnan for a long time, but there is still no improvement?"
"Is it because the water and soil are not adapted, and it really responds to the sentence 'orange is orange in the north of the orange river'? Or do you not put yourself in the shoes of the people of Yunnan at all? Look at that, hehe! I'm afraid it's a bit of both! ”
Hearing Cui Jiruo's merciless questioning, Li Yi only smiled slightly bitterly. Yunnan has such a poor foundation, and it is not an overnight thing to make a significant change.
It is really unreasonable for this guy to only look at the appearance and indiscriminately treat his own administration as useless, especially to directly attack himself.
