This situation is certainly not the first time Li Qi has encountered it, but every time he encounters it, he will be very unhappy, I believe that this is a difficult and necessary fact for a man in the prime of life.

Li Qi took Bai Qiannuo's little hand and told her a few words, relying on his years of experience, telling her that she should pay attention to those aspects, and also asked her to live in Qin Mansion recently, and make some tonic soup for her to replenish her body.

Bai Qiannuo saw that Li Qi was not only unhappy because of this, but thought about himself, his heart was moved and happy, and he nodded vigorously to ensure that he would do what he was told. After saying this, she picked up the quill pen and looked at it for a while, and said, "Big brother, can you use this to write it to me again?" ”

"No problem."

Li Qi took a quill pen and wrote a few words on the paper.

Bai Qiannuo carefully observed for a while, and then wanted to try this quill pen. Richie handed her the pen and then taught her how to hold it. No matter how talented Bai Qiannuo is, it is impossible to master this quill in such a short period of time, which is diametrically opposed in nature and usage.

"Well, it's much better than my calligraphy." Li Qi quickly gave his own evaluation of Bai Qiannuo's pen handwriting.

Bai Qiannuo sneered, put down his pen, shook his head and said, "I don't need this one." As she spoke, she suddenly saw the drawings on the table, took them over curiously, and said, "Big brother, is this table your drawing?" ”

Li Qi snorted and said, "This is the desk, which is prepared for the new academy." ”

"Desk?"

Bai Qiannuo nodded slightly, picked up the quill and asked, "Then this quill is also for your academy?" ”

Li Qileng paused, and said with a smile: "You don't say that I haven't thought of this yet." This can indeed be tried, the price of today's brushes is too expensive, and it doesn't take long to change, contrary to the philosophy of my college, this quill almost does not cost money, it is simply a perfect match. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and said with a smile: "Qi Niang, you are really my lucky star." ”

Bai Qiannuo smiled sweetly, and said with a little worry: "Big brother, you must be very tired of running this academy." ”

"It's worth it to be tired, and these are nothing, they are all done by others, I just draw pictures and move my mouth, the key is that teachers are difficult to find." Li Qi let out a long sigh.

Bai Qiannuo said: "You can let the Taishi come forward." ”

Li Qi shook his head and said, "No." Most of the people Taishi knows are some famous old gentlemen, and if I invite them to come, then I will be enough to deal with them all day long, and maybe there will be a fight, so this plan will never work. ”

Bai Qiannuo also knew Li Qi's personality, and he really had the possibility he said, and asked, "Then what kind of people do you want to find, big brother?" ”

"Be younger, more open-minded, preferably like you."

Li Qi's eyes lit up as he spoke, and he said happily: "Yes, Qi Niang, you can also come to our academy as a teacher, you have also taught those Xiaoyu to read and write before, and they have experience, I believe this is not a difficult thing for you." ”

Bai Qiannuo sighed and said depressedly: "I also want to help my eldest brother, but my mother won't allow me to go." ”

"Your mother? Why is this related to your mother again? Richie was confused.

Bai Qiannuo said helplessly: "Last time, I inadvertently mentioned to my mother that you and Taishi Cai set up an academy, and my mother said at the time, eldest brother, that you would definitely let me go to the academy to help, and my mother said that other things can be discussed, but this matter is absolutely not good." ”

"Wow! Qi Niang, don't scare me, is your mother really so powerful, she can predict the prophet. Li Qi scratched his chin, his arm was hairy and stood on end, and he felt like he was being held in the palm of his hand, which made him uncomfortable.

Bai Qiannuo nodded and said, "This is true, my mother also said, if you can't understand, you can go to her." ”

"It's better to be free, this is a big deal, I'll figure it out myself." Li Qi shook his head and said, he knew that his future mother-in-law must be considered in politics, and he had always been afraid of this future mother-in-law, even Cai Jing and Wang Hao did not let him feel this way.

Bai Qiannuo nodded and didn't say anything more, but there was still a trace of worry in his eyes.

At noon, Li Qi took out the two-headed abalone that Zuo Boqing gave him last time to make up for Bai Qiannuo's body, and in the afternoon he went to the Taishi Mansion, and the main purpose of his visit this time was to discuss the decoration of the college and the recruitment of teachers.

Li Qi originally didn't want to disturb Cai Jing, so he planned to discuss it with Cai Yong, but he never thought that when he came to the Taishi Mansion, he learned that Cai Yong was rubbing mahjong with Cai Jing and the two backbones of the Taishi Mansion around a table. Li Qi had long expected this situation, but he never planned to do this business, because making zuò mahjong is a very simple thing, almost everyone can do it, and the profit is too small, if he wants to do it, he has to do something that others can't do.

Cai Jing was very happy to see Li Qi coming, and immediately asked one of them to give up his seat, and forced Li Qi to accompany him to play a few rounds, and it could be seen that he liked this mahjong very much.

"Li Qi, I heard that you have recently been promoted again." Cai Jing said with a smile as he watched them shuffle the cards.

"Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng." Li Qi said, feeling very disdainful of Cai Jing's behavior of not shuffling the cards.

Cai Jing laughed and said: "You are so young, you are already a fourth-grade official, which is commendable, even the old man was not as good as you back then." ”

"It's too serious, how dare the kid compare with you. In fact, this is just a coincidence, and it is all thanks to the swallow vegetables sent by Dali. Li Qi smiled slightly.

"Speaking of this swallow dish, I heard Qian'er talk about it last time, he said that your first-class official swallow is quite delicious, and the taste is very unique, but it is a pity that the Dali envoy sent a little bit, otherwise the old man can also ask the emperor to taste it. But is this bird's nest really as good as you say? Can eating it really prolong life? Cai Jing said curiously.

This old guy wants to live a long life and wants to go crazy. Li Qi didn't dare to say too much, and said: "Prolonging life, this varies from person to person, but swallow vegetables are indeed very tonic to people's bodies, and their effects are no less than ginseng." ”

Cai Jing looked fascinated, swallowed his saliva and said: "I really hope that your official Yan Division can be done as soon as possible, and then the old man will be able to taste what that Yan Cai tastes like." ”

Li Qi laughed and said: "The emperor is in such a hurry, I believe it will be done soon." ”

"I hope so." Cai Jing nodded with a smile and said, "The old man also heard that the emperor has appointed you to attend this year's Four Kingdoms Banquet. ”

Li Qi knew that this could not be regarded as a secret to Cai Jing at all, so he nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to the emperor's love, I have the opportunity to participate in such a grand banquet." ”

"And how are you preparing?"

"Uh, isn't there still two months, isn't it too early to start preparing now?"

Cai Jing glared at him fiercely, and said anxiously: "It's still early?" Do you know that in the past, imperial kitchens like Liao and Western Xia started to prepare half a year in advance. This is not as good as a crab roe feast, if you lose, hum, you feel better. ”

Sweat! Do you need to be so excited, and spray Lao Tzu's face with saliva, it's really a chef who is not in a hurry and is too anxious.

But Li Qi also knew in his heart that Cai Jing was so excited for his sake, and said with a confident smile: "Taishi, I don't dare to guarantee other aspects, but in terms of cooking skills alone, I Li Qi really haven't been afraid of anyone, and this time is no exception." ”

Cai Jing has always admired Li Qi's point, and said with a smile: "The old man is also very confident in you, but don't be careless, the old man has tasted the dishes made by the imperial chefs of the Three Kingdoms at the banquet of the Four Kingdoms, and they are not some generals, especially in terms of knife skills, you may have to strengthen, in short, you must prepare as soon as possible." ”

Hum. Knife work? Lao Tzu's knife in those years was not sharpened in vain.

Li Qi didn't bother to explain, this kind of thing will naturally be known at that time, and he said: "Li Qi remembers the teachings of the Taishi. ”

Cai Jing is not a verbose person, so he stopped at the point and said with a smile: "You came here this time for the sake of the academy?" ”

"Exactly."

Li Qi Zhengse said: "Taishi, I have already handed over the renovation of the academy to the carpenter Tian of the Drunken Immortal Residence, oh, he made the bar last time, I hope he will be in charge of it this time, of course, I will also supervise behind the scenes." ”

The craftsmen about the decoration are naturally all from the Taishi Mansion, but Li Qi has seen the arrogant and domineering appearance of the subordinates of the Taishi Mansion, so he is worried that Tian Carpenter will not be able to suppress them, if there is Cai Jing's special instructions, it will definitely be different.

Cai Jing naturally understood Li Qi's intentions, and he was also very satisfied with the decoration of the bar, and said to Cai Yong on the side: "Yongzi, you will arrange it later." ”

Cai Yong nodded and said, "Yes, master." ”

"In addition, I need a lot of lime, oh, it's not for building a house, I'm using it for another purpose." ”

Cai Jing didn't ask much, glanced at Cai Yong, and said, "You can discuss this matter with Yongzi later." ”

Li Qi arched his hand and smiled: "Steward Cai, I have to bother you again." ”

"Where, where, when you need it, just send someone to inform me."

It's refreshing enough, I like it. Li Qi nodded with a smile, and said to Cai Jing again: "Taishi, do you think it's time for us to start arranging for the recruitment of teachers?" ”

Cai Jing nodded and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Qi sneered and said, "That's the case, I want to make a public announcement in the name of the Taishi tomorrow, and after three days, I will interview them in person." ”

Cai Jing frowned and said, "It's better to send it in your name." ”

Why is that? This academy is run by you, Taishi, how can you send it in my name. ”

Cai Jing shook his head and said, "You don't know, many scholars in the world have many misunderstandings about the old man - alas, just send it in your name." ”

Li Qileng paused, and then understood, you are quite self-aware. However, he didn't plan to change his mind, and said with a smile: "Taishi doesn't need to worry, like those scholars who think of themselves as high, stick to their own opinions, and are extremely pedantic, even if they give it to me, I won't accept it, we are doing a good deed, it is for the benefit of those poor people, if they are unwilling to come because they have opinions about you, this kind of person is simply a misguided child, besides, if we put the silver there, I don't believe that no one came." ”

That being said, he wasn't really sure about it.

When Cai Jing heard this, his mood immediately felt a lot more relaxed, he laughed, and said: "Okay, what you said is good, just do what you say - Yongzi, you will order someone to issue a notice later." ”

"Yes, sir."

Cai Yong glanced at Li Qi slightly, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, it was the first time he had seen Cai Jing be so obedient to a certain person.
