After Li Qi and Cai Yong finished discussing, they came to the front room again, and Chen Dong still looked at them with a smile on his face and calmly. On the premise that his brain was not broken, this man's courage was indeed commendable.
After Li Qi sat down, he said, "Hello, my name is Li Qi, and I am the chief interviewer of this recruitment meeting. β
Although he had already learned the name of the other party, Li Qi still followed the process.
Chen Dong arched his hand and said: "The next surname is Chen Mingdong, and the word is Shaoyang." β
"I heard you're a student?"
"Not bad."
"But as far as I know, now the imperial court generally recruits talents directly from Taixue, Your Excellency has such a unique advantage, why do you still come here to interview teachers, don't you want to be an official?" Richie asked.
"Of course not, Chen Dong dreams of serving the country and asking for his life for the people."
Chen Dong shook his head and said: "There are three reasons why I came here, one is that I heard that the college you set up this time is dedicated to the children of the poor people, not only does not charge them money, but also does not eat and live, if this is the case, it is really commendable; Second, Chen was also born in a poor family, and he knew that it was not easy for children from poor people to study, so he was willing to contribute to them; Third, in view of the first point, Chen really couldn't believe that this was the hand of Taishi Cai, and he was very curious, and wanted to find out what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd. β
When Cai Yong heard the third point that Chen Dong said, he was furious and said angrily: "Chen Dong, what are you talking about? My lord has been for the country and the people all his life, and he has done his best, and he has died, if you speak disrespectfully again, don't blame me for being unkind to you. β
Li Qi blushed when he heard this, and said secretly, for the country and the people, do your best, and then die, these sixteen words have something to do with Cai Jing, and he is so arrogant, what he said is like the truth, you are much better than me.
Chen Dong laughed and said: "Steward Cai is not a big butler of the Taishi Mansion, his export is a chapter, his writing is extraordinary, and his kung fu of reversing right and wrong is the essence of your master, Chen Dong is ashamed of himself." β
Cai Yong's eyes were on fire, and he had already forgotten what Li Qi had just said. Seeing this, Li Qi was afraid that the two of them would fight, so he coughed hurriedly and said, "Chen Dong, you said that you want to contribute to those poor people, but I see that you don't have this mind at all." β
"Oh? I wonder why you said that? β
Li Qi smiled: "You keep shouting to help the people, but the other end is against Master Cai everywhere, if you sit in my seat, do you think I will still want you?" β
Chen Dong said with a smile: "Chen Dong is just talking about things, to tell the truth, isn't it possible that your college is recruiting some duplicitous villains to be teachers?" β
This guy is not a college student, being educated is different, he can make people angry with one mouth, fortunately Cai Jing is not here, otherwise he would have to be angry with brain congestion, but Lao Tzu's diploma is not fake.
Li Qi saw that Cai Yong was going crazy again, and hurriedly said: "Okay, let's talk about things, all the funds and manpower for running the academy this time are all handled by the Taishi alone, you can go to Sweetwater Lane to see this, such a good house was demolished like this, this cost alone is astronomical for you, not to mention what the result is, or what the intention of the Taishi is to do this, this matter will have its own judgment in the future, but the Taishi and his old man did take out a lot of money to do something for the people, I think you have also heard, we have recruited a lot of children from poor families, and also given them a lot of help, what have you done for the people, don't tell me those nonsense, I want to be practical. β
Cai Yong's face immediately glowed, and he said: "And when the red lady founded the charity foundation, my lord also generously donated 800 yuan, how much did you Chen Dong donate, you might as well say it and listen, Cai is really curious about this." β
Chen Dong was speechless by the two of them, he is a poor student, whether he can support himself is still a question, how can he have the money to donate to others.
Li Qi sighed: "Brother Chen, I appreciate your sentence of judging things by facts, but it is one thing to say it, and it is another thing to do it, at least you haven't done it yet, you said that you came to interview the teacher, but from beginning to end, you have never asked me any questions about this, is this your sincerity?" Also, you've been saying this and that to Taishi Cai from the very beginning, with a gun and a stick, do you think you're a hero in doing this? As for the construction of the college and the future prospects, you didn't say a word, and you didn't take it to heart. β
Chen Dong frowned, thoughtful, after a while, he just opened his mouth, but unfortunately Li Qi didn't give him this opportunity, and said, "Okay, this is the end of our conversation." β
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Then do you want me?" β
"We'll have to think about this carefully, and when the results are out, we'll send someone else to inform you, and you can leave now."
Chen Dong opened his mouth, with a trace of regret in his eyes, and finally arched his hand: "Farewell." Then he turned and went out.
As soon as Chen Dong left, Cai Yong said excitedly: "Deputy Marshal, you are really amazing, you will be speechless in just a few words, you may not know, this guy is notoriously difficult, let alone us, now even his friends are walking around him, for fear of staying with him." β
This Chen Dong is so upright, what do you say, it is easier to offend people than your master, can you not be afraid.
Li Qi also felt a little headache about this, sighed secretly, and said: "Steward Cai, many people are prejudiced against Taishi, you and I know this, and Taishi also knows, but I think we should judge things by facts, no matter how they treat Taishi, as long as they really want to come to the academy to teach, and meet our standards, we should give them a chance, if we can be fair and arbitral, then they won't find a chance to discredit Taishi, don't you say?" β
Cai Yong nodded, and said, "Could it be that the deputy marshal still wants to give that kid a chance?" β
Li Qi was also hesitant about this and said, "Let's take a look at it again." Then he said to the next man, "Next." β
This time it was a white-robed genius who came in, Li Qi glanced at this person, feeling a little familiar, glanced at the bamboo pieces that had just been sent in, frowned, and said secretly, Zhu Quan? This-by the way, this guy is with Song Yuchen, no wonder he feels a little familiar, it seems that he is here to make trouble again. He looked up at Zhu Quan, who happened to be looking at him as well, and a subtle resentment flashed in his eyes.
"You ββ!"
Zhu Quan raised his hand and pointed at Li Qi, and as soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by Li Qi, and said with a smile: "Do you want to say why I, a cook, am sitting here?" β
Zhu Quan was stunned, sneered, and just opened his mouth, but was robbed by Li Qi again: "You want to say again, even if you have self-knowledge." β
Not to mention, Zhu Quan really wanted to say what to say just now, but before he opened his mouth, he heard Li Qi say again: "Then you want to say that the master asked me to be a cook for an interview, which really hurt your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys." β
"I didn't."
"Finally you will say that you disdain to be in the same room as me, the cook."
Li Qi interrupted Zhu Quan's words again, and then said with a smile: "If I am not wrong, after you say these words, you will turn around in a dashing manner and leave this house with cat steps." Well, I know everything you said, and you can go. β
Cai Yong's face was flushed when he heard this, he held back his smile vigorously, raised his hand, and said, "Send this Zhu Gongzi out." β
Zhu Quan was stunned, and when the person walked up to him and said "please", he reacted, glared at Li Qi angrily, shook his robe, turned around and walked out angrily.
Li Qi shook his head helplessly, these talents are really stupid and cute in his mind, and they are very naΓ―ve, such a big project, how can a few of them destroy it, it is really stupid. But at the same time, he was very helpless in his heart, after all, the status of the scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty was too high, although he was a fourth-grade official, but his status was not as good as these scholars, and this official was too shabby. Turning his head to Cai Yong, he asked, "Steward Cai, don't these scholars and talents usually have to make money to support their families?" β
Cai Yong shook his head and said: "The deputy marshal doesn't know, most people who can read books generally have a little money at home, and they only need to take the exam to gain fame and not worry about their livelihood." β
"I see."
Li Qi nodded, in his impression, the ancients who could read were generally the children of the poor, never thought that most of the people who read today are disciples of rich and noble families, but after thinking about it carefully, he also understood, far from it, the educational environment alone, the two are not on the same level, like Song Yuchen, they are all assigned by famous teachers, and the children of the poor do not have this treatment, although talent and hard work are very important, but the educational environment cannot be ignored, No, why should those parents in the future squeeze their scalps and send their children to prestigious schools.
As he spoke, the next examinee had already come in, a weak scholar with a book in his hand, and as soon as the scholar came in, he said, "Xu Xian has seen the two." β
"Poof!"
Li Qi directly squirted out the tea he had just drunk, and hurriedly grabbed the bamboo piece to take a look, but saw that it read "Xu Xian - word, Zhisheng". Day. Absolute rival in love. Xu Zhisheng? Why don't your mother's name be Lu Zhishen. I know that Lao Tzu's wife is called the White Lady, you don't take any name, but you just take this name, it is clear that you can't get along with Lao Tzu!
Cai Yong saw Li Qi so out of shape, he was slightly stunned, and saw Xu Xian's face a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly said, "Xu Caizi, please take a seat." β
"Thank you, thank you."
Xu Xian saluted again, and then sat down tremblingly, and it could be seen that he was quite nervous.
Li Qi was slightly stunned, wiped his mouth rudely, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Xu Caizi's book does not leave his hand, he must be a book lover." β
"Where, where, wisdom is dull, only diligence can make up for it."
"Yes, yes, I don't know where Xu Caizi is from?"
"Oh, Zhisheng is from Tokyo, and his family lives in the western suburbs."
"Who's in the house?"
"Both parents are alive and well, and there is a younger brother under the age of three."
"What do your parents do?"
Xu Xian's face was slightly embarrassed, and he hesitated before he said, "I-I was born in a peasant family. β
The implication is that his parents are farmers. Li Qi smiled: "You don't need to be nervous, we don't judge you by birth." Why did you choose to come here for this job? β
Xu Xian raised his head and said loudly: "Kong said Chengren, Meng said righteousness." β
"Stop. I understand. β
Li Qi shook his head, looking like a nerd again, and asked, "I wonder what Xu Caizi thinks about education?" β
"Teach it with the three things of the township."
Li Qi was stunned and said, "What township three things?" β
Xu Xian shook his head and said: "One is said to be six virtues: knowledge, benevolence, holiness, righteousness, loyalty, and harmony. The second is said to be six elements: filial piety, friendship, harmony, grace, responsibility, and compassion. Three said six arts: etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, mathematics. β
Cai Yong began to yawn when he heard this.
"Okay, okay." Li Qi nodded wryly and said, "May I ask what you are most proud of in what you have done?" β
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "I have achieved nothing so far." β
"Then why did we choose you out of so many?"
"I don't know."
Li Qi nodded and smiled: "Okay, my question is finished, do you have anything to ask?" β
Xu Xian hurriedly said: "May I ask if you accept me?" β
"We still have to consider this, and we will send a unified notice in a few days, if you have no other problems, you can leave."
Xu Xian's face was full of loss, and he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with his appearance, so he got up and saluted, and then walked out.
As soon as he went out, Cai Yong was curious: "Deputy Marshal, what do you think of this person?" β
Li Qi smiled: "General, honest enough, it shouldn't be too inferior." β
After a meal, during which Li Qi interviewed seven or eight candidates, but none of them made Li Qi very satisfied, he asked a few questions casually, and they were dumbfounded, and one thing made Li Qi very confused, that is, no one mentioned remuneration from beginning to end, this is the most critical issue in the interview in later generations, no one mentioned it here, which really made Li Qi scratch his head, dare to love this group of guys without eating.
Cai Yong on the side was about to fall asleep, leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, the tea in front of him was already cold.
Li Qi also yawned, this hr is really boring, except for that Chen Dong, the rest can't get on the table, at this time, the next person handed over a piece of bamboo, Li Qi looked at it as usual, and read: "Ouyang Che." Finally met a compound surname. Let him in. Nowadays, reading these names has become his greatest pleasure.
After a while, a young man in his early twenties dressed in a blue cloth shirt walked in, but he saw that this person had a thin and handsome appearance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a confident smile on his thin lips.
Eight points for appearance and nine points for temperament.
Li Qi had a good impression of this young man at first sight, and smiled: "Please take a seat." β
"Thank you."
Li Qi first reported his name, and just wanted to introduce Cai Yong, but seeing that he was already asleep, he didn't bother him, and said, "Please briefly introduce yourself." β
"In the next compound surname Ouyang, a single name Che, the word Deming, this year there are five out of twenty, Fuzhou Chongren clan."
"What did you do before?"
"A cloth coat."
"That's nothing done."
"You can say the same thing." Ouyang Che smiled, without the slightest embarrassment on his face.
"Where do you live now?"
"There is no fixed place to live." Ouyang Che said with a smile.
This can still laugh out, enough for the cow b. Li Qi smiled: "Your Excellency is quite free and easy. What do you like to do the most? β
"100~10,000\ small! Talk, talk to people, and occasionally write some poems to entertain yourself. β
"What's your favorite book to read?"
"Sima Xianxiang's "Zizhi Tongjian".
It's not easy, finally I didn't talk about Confucius's photo album.
Li Qi smiled: "Can you read a piece that you did your best?" β
"Please advise." Ouyang Che was not pretentious, and opened his mouth to groan: "The personal charm is naturally pretty. Autumn waves often seem to be smiling. A crescent-like eyebrows are low, and the four-inch shoes are small. Taste the feast of Qionglou. Soft language and singing are infinitely wonderful. When he returned, Gui shadowed the curtain, and Shen Shui smoked and disappeared into the courtyard. β
Talent! Much stronger than Song Yuchen.
Li Qi was overjoyed and said, "Why do you want to be a teacher?" β
"Just ask for a full meal."
Solid enough, I like it. Li Qi said with interest: "Isn't it that Your Excellency can't even eat a full meal now?" β
Ouyang Che shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say that Ouyang is still relying on the relief of a few friends now. β
"Your Excellency is so young and inexperienced, what reason do you have for us to choose you among so many talents?"
Ouyang Che said calmly: "The notice of your mansion indicates that talented people between the ages of twenty and forty who can read and write can come for an interview, which is not inappropriate in the next place, and I heard that the students recruited by your house are all children of poor families, and they were also born in a poor family, my experience is experience for those children, and I think I can know what they need better than others." β
Finally, there is one that can stay off topic. Li Qi nodded and said, "If we don't hire you, what are you going to do next?" β
"Keep looking for work."
"What do you want to do most in your life?"
"Out of the phase."
"Do you know who I am?"
"He used to be the chef of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and now he is the deputy commander of the guard."
"And what impressed me the most?"
Ouyang Che said without thinking: "The hair is very short. β
"And what do you think of me as a person?"
"It's like your hair, peculiar."
Li Qi smiled and nodded: "This is really a good evaluation." Okay, that's my question, do you have anything to ask? β
Ouyang Che said: "May I ask how much you pay each month?" β
Yes, yes, finally met a mortal. Li Qi was very relieved in his heart, and said, "How much do you hope?" β
"Always."
"Why?"
"No more hunger."
Li Qi smiled and said, "Do you still have any questions?" β
"Nope." Ouyang Che said.
Li Qi stood up, picked up the pen on the table and wrote a few words on the piece of bamboo that was written on it, then handed it over, and said, "You take it now to the Drunken Immortal Residence to find the shopkeeper Wu, and he will give you a full meal." β
Ouyang Che was stunned and said, "But now I am penniless. β
"No money."
No money? Ouyang Che couldn't figure out why Li Qi did this for a while, and took the bamboo piece and looked at it, only to see three crooked words written on it - "Take him in". Surprised: "Would you like to take me in?" β
"What? Do you still want to live the days when you have no fixed place? β
Ouyang Che said: "The deputy marshal is very kind, and Deming remembers it in his heart. β
"There's no need for these polite words, let's hurry up."
"Farewell." Ouyang Che saluted again, and then walked out quickly, seeing that he was really hungry.
Li Qi smiled, this guy is really funny. After Ouyang Che left, Li Qi interviewed more than a dozen candidates, waited until sunset, and then went to the backyard to report to Cai Jing for today's work.
Li Qi came to Cai Jing's yard, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the smell of roasted quail, and immediately frowned and looked at Cai Jing.
Cai Jing is very afraid of Li Qi in terms of diet, and he himself can't figure out why, seeing Li Qi's expression, he knew that the matter was exposed, so he immediately preemptively struck, and said with a trembling mouth: "The old man has seen quails for a month, eat this time, you won't and won't allow it." β
Li Qi glanced at the old man, ignored him, and asked Cai Yong, "Steward Cai, who is in charge of the Taishi's diet today?" β
Cai Jing slapped the table and said angrily: "Li Qi, you don't have to deceive people too much. β
Cai Yong was used to this kind of scene, with his head bowed and silent.
Li Qi didn't let a step, and argued: "Taishi, I didn't say much about those words before, and I was annoyed by what I said, you are just in good health now, and you start to eat like this again, do you know that even if you just eat a roasted quail, I will have to spend a lot of effort to make up for it, if you insist on this, please be smart, lest I be angry with you." β
Although he rarely cooks for Cai Jing himself, Cai Jing's daily meals are all made according to his menu.
Cai Jingqi's hair stood up, pointing at Li Qi, and he couldn't even make a sound. Even Cai Yong, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Deputy Marshal, just this time, there should be nothing to do, so you can say a few words." β
"It's not negotiable. Since the master has asked me to be in charge of his diet, then those cooks must follow the menu I have made, and the problem now is that if someone makes dishes outside my menu for the master to eat in private without telling me, I will never allow this, and that person will be severely punished, and resolutely prevent this kind of thing from happening again. Li Qi said resolutely. When it comes to eating, he's always been so stubborn.
Cai Yong saw that it didn't make sense here, so he had to turn his head to Cai Jing and said, "Master, the deputy marshal is doing this for the sake of your body." β
Cai Jing raised his hand and asked him not to say more, snorted angrily, and said angrily: "The old man is still going to eat, what can you do?" β
"Then please ask the master to ask for another master."
"Could it be that the old man still has to eat the food you cooked." Cai Jing was so excited that he was already spitting.
Li Qi was still unmoved, and said: "Of course not, the body is yours, of course you are in charge, but I still have the old saying, if you don't cherish your own body, it will be useless for others to work hard." β
"You ββ!"
Cai Jing glared at Li Qi angrily, trying to make Li Qi submit with a fierce gaze, but Li Qi didn't look at him at all.
Cai Yong knew that as soon as these words came out, Cai Jing had to give in again, because every time the plot was like this.
Sure enough, Cai Jing took two deep breaths, his tone softened, and said, "Just this time, can't you give the old man a few thin noodles?" β
"Dare to ask Taishi, is face important, or is your body important?"
Cai Jingleng fell, sat on the chair, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, even if the old man is afraid of you, it's all up to you, it's all up to you, it's all right." β
"Thank you, Master, for your forgiveness." Li Qi said and arched his hand towards Cai Jing again: "Steward Cai, I'm tired of you." β
Cai Yong smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, this matter is on me." β
Cai Jing snorted angrily, didn't let Li Qi sit down, turned his head, and asked, "I heard that Chen Dong's kid also came this afternoon?" β
It's a pity that Li Qi is not a person who abides by the rules at all, he sat down by himself, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and smashed it a few times as if he was in his own home, before he said: "Not bad." I'm just about to ask the Master if I want to hire him? β
Cai Jing said angrily: "Don't dare to be, do you still take the old man in your eyes." β
Play this with me? Li Qi smiled without saying a word, and drank tea by himself.
Cai Jing secretly glanced at Li Qi, and when he saw that he was drinking, he pulled his face down at the moment, and after a while, he saw that Li Qi began to close his eyes and recuperate, and he was so angry that he was only crazy, but he was helpless, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, turned his head, and scolded with a smile: "You kid is really the old man's nemesis." β
Li Qi opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh? I've always thought I was the lucky star of the Grand Master! β
Cai Jing laughed, and then said: "Li Qi, Yongzi has already told the old man about the process of Chen Donglai's exam, what you think coincides with the old man, the old man not only wants to let Chen Dong's kid come to the old man's college, but also treats him politely, the reason must also be known, the old man will not say much, the old man is afraid that the kid will not come." β
In this regard, Cai Yong admired Li Qi's five suits, and when he reported this matter to Cai Jing, he was still worried that Cai Jing would be angry, but he never thought that Cai Jing would hear that Chen Dong was coming to take the exam, and he didn't think about it, so he shouted, "Okay." If he dares to come, the old man will just ask for it. ", is exactly what Li Qi said, which makes him, a housekeeper who has followed Cai Jing for decades, really feel ashamed.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Master don't worry, according to my understanding of this person, as long as we agree, he will definitely come back." β
"Well, you have to pay attention to this matter for the old man."
"Yes."
Cai Jing stroked his beard, and suddenly a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Li Qi, I heard that there are still some people who come to make trouble?" β
"It's all clowns, nothing to worry about." Li Qi smiled faintly.
Cai Jing's eyes flashed with praise, this kid is indeed different, and said with a smile: "Yes, these clowns don't have to pay attention to it at all, the old man will retreat after they jump for two days, and they want you to fight with them now." β
"I know this, Master Tai, please rest assured, I won't take care of them."
Cai Jing nodded, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then smiled at Li Qi: "By the way, the old man also recruited a very special teacher today, and you are satisfied." β
Li Qi was surprised: "Who?" β
Cai Jing smiled and said, "She just went out for a while, she should be coming soon." β
As soon as the words fell, a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Taishi." β
When Li Qi heard this voice, his face changed greatly, and he blurted out, "It's her." β
