Chapter 43 Gift-giver
"Who are you, what are you looking for my family officials. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" The little guy who held the door, tilted his head, glanced at Ximenqing, and didn't seem to take him in his eyes at all.
"I was tired and said that Ximenqing was visiting." Ximenqing stood outside the door of the money master's book, handed out a few taels of trivial silver, and said with a smile on his face, not taking this little guy's arrogant attitude to heart.
The seven-grade official in front of the humane prime minister, the little man in the house of the money master, although it is less than the seventh grade, it is difficult to speak, there is no benefit, I want to see the money master, and wait, a sentence of my family is just busy, and I will send you away, although Ximenqing has a great reputation in Yanggu, but at this time I have to do a little bit or two.
Now that he has obtained the goods, Ximen Qing is a famous person, and the little man at the door checked the silver in his hand, and then smiled: "It turned out to be the eldest man of the Ximen family, and I have listened to your name more recently, wait a minute, let me go and say a word." ”
Ximen Qing arched his hand and said: "There is labor, there is labor." ”
Ju'an often follows Ximen Qing, and he is used to seeing majesty on weekdays, where has he ever been so angry, and he said angrily: "This guy is rude." ”
Simon Qing said: 'What is this? “
Juan said angrily: "Master, why bother to despise yourself so much, we are also a well-known figure in the county, anyone who sees you has to be polite, he is just a small doorkeeper, how dare he take it like this, even the money master book is not good in front of the master with such a posture." ”
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Don't you hear that the king of Hades is better, the little ghost is difficult, although he is a small man, but if you want to see the money master's book, you must ask him to pass it, and give a few silver, we don't lack these, besides, if you want to stand on a high place, you must first learn to bow down and be a man, you have to hold yourself high because of a little achievement, then sooner or later there will be a day when you fall down, let's take the identity of the high, don't put this door in the eyes, isn't it similar to this door?" ”
Ju An pursed his lips, didn't take Ximenqing's words to heart, and said secretly: "The little master is good at everything, but his temper is sometimes too easy-going, anyone can say a few words, and sometimes he loves to talk to himself about some big truths." Rolling his eyes and looking at the little guy at the door again, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to find someone to teach this guy a lesson and help Ximenqing get back to his face today.
"Even if the little master is right, but that guy is too rude, I just feel that the little master has lost face."
Ximen Qing shook his head, knowing that Ju An couldn't understand it, he didn't explain, he just said in his heart: "It's nothing to lose face in front of a gate, the important thing is not to lose it in front of the money master's book, the door is insignificant, but the money master's book is different, he now decides the future direction of his family." ”
After a while, the little servant came out and said, "My family officials are invited." ”
Ximen Qing said: "Annoying introduction." ”
The small servant introduced Ximen Qing into the Qian master's house, but in the courtyard where he saw, the rockery and flowing water, the pavilions and pavilions, although it was late autumn, the courtyard was still full of flowers, and if you looked carefully, the flowers bloomed. Walking along the path, I don't know how many courtyards I passed, before I found the location of the money owner's book.
In front of the court, Ximen Qingdan saw a scribe in a green shirt, with a light robe and a slow belt, holding a scroll of scriptures, pacing in the courtyard, looking very chic.
At this time, the identity of Jue'an's servant was not easy to see the master of the money, and the little servant asked him to go to the side room to entertain guests for a while, and only asked Ximen Qing to go over and talk.
Seeing the master of Qian, Ximenqing sang a fat song: "I have seen Xianggong Qian, Ximenqing is polite." ”
Master Qian nodded, asked the little maid to go, and didn't look at Ximenqing, but said: "I am good friends with Ling Zun, so I don't need such a big gift, get up." ”
Ximen Qing thanked him and got up, and then he had time to measure the appearance of the money master, his face was like a crown of jade, and he had five locks of long beard under his chin, presumably when he was young, he was also a beautiful man.
"What did you do with me this time?"
Ximen Qing said: "When my father went out this time, I told me that if I didn't have your thoughtfulness a few days ago, I don't know how much board I would have to eat. ”
Master Qian snorted, and didn't say anything, but said: "That's nothing, what should I thank." ”
"Although it is the work of the money owner, it is the grace of the villain's life, and the prince is a magnanimous person who does not take it to heart, but the villain cannot forget such a great kindness." Ximenqing bowed his posture very low.
At this time, Master Qian glanced at Ximenqing carefully, and just swept it away, and didn't take it to heart, and said in his heart: "I thought this kid must be a rude person, but I didn't expect that he was also a kind person." ”
"You are serious, I have also heard that Shen Zhong is a bully in the county, and he does evil in the county, and a few days ago he was found to be selling illicit salt, ignoring the law of the country, you taught him a lesson, and he can be regarded as a righteous man for the people."
Hearing this, Ximenqing knew that he was good at this time, and a few words from the master of Qian were just looking at his father's generous face.
"Xiang Gong praised it, the kid is just messing around." Ximen Qing said a few words humbly, and then offered the small gift he had prepared.
Master Qian only took a cursory glance at the book, but when he saw that there were several good store deeds, he was happy, looked at Ximen Qingxin and said: "This big man of the Ximen family is not only polite and kind, but also a sensible person. ”
After a few pushes, the money master asked someone to take it, but when Ximen Qing said goodbye, he said: "You kid is a clever and clever person, if you have free time, you can come here to find me." ”
When Ximen Qing heard this, he knew that he had left a favor here, and said with a happy face: "In this way, it will disturb the public more." The meaning of the words in the money master book is not to ask Ximen Qingxian to come to the door, but to tell him, the thing is good, I accepted it, don't bother me if you have nothing to do, but if you want to have any trouble in the future, you can also come to find it, but whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the future performance and the property.
Leaving the Qian master's house, Ximen Qingyou visited the county's chief and other officials, according to the level of the position, the distance of the people, each prepared a thin gift. Even if there was no gift, he also invited a banquet, and for a while, Ximenqing was in the county government, and he could be regarded as having his own human face, and he no longer relied on his father's face. But there is almost nothing left over from the goods and shops he bought at a low price in Shen Zhong's house.
At this time, someone said: "Ximenqing gave a gift like this, didn't he do a big deal?" The money was given away, but when he really asked for favors, he was afraid that he would have to spend another expense, and now, isn't he short of money to attract good men? ”
Ximenqing didn't see it that way, although the wealth shop he took from the Li family, although it was a sum of gold and silver, but it was always from a bad way and a bad reputation, so people said that he framed Shen Zhong first, bullied his wife and children, and plotted to rob his family property.
As soon as these remarks came out, his reputation would inevitably be damaged, which was a great loss to Ximenqing during the period of fame, and I don't know how many heroes would underestimate him because of this.
Some people say that it's just a false name, where does the money come from, after all, to recruit good men, you still have to talk with real money.
Having said that, but there is an old saying: if the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be done, if you want to be a good man, the prerequisite is fame, and only with fame can you win people, and after you win people, it will involve the word of wealth. Think about it, a man who frames others in prison and plots to rob other people's property, will you go to him when you are suffering, and will you still be willing to associate with him? Don't talk about it, who knows when he's going to frame you, who knows if he's going to miss something about you?
If you don't believe it, then look at Song Jiang's troubled rivers and lakes at that time, and there was not much gold and silver around him, didn't he rely on his temporary fame to be admired everywhere in the rivers and lakes, and there were people everywhere serving gold and silver? That Lu Junyi is the richest man in the Daimyo Mansion, and his family has more than 10 million goods, but he was framed by Liang Shan, and when he was imprisoned, no one except the loyal Yan Qing took care of him, and the two were so different in their circumstances, perhaps because of their different charges, maybe this remark was biased, but it cannot be denied that this has a great relationship with the different reputations of the two of them.
What's more, although Ximenqing gave away the goods, he gained fame and favor, since he has fame and favor, will the goods be far away?
