Chapter 070: Guests Coming to the Door One After Another
It was not difficult for Li Qian to guess that Yang Qing was the one who added fuel to the fire.
From the scene reported by the subordinates, and after the Dragon Boat Festival poetry meeting, Yang Qing did not come to visit his sick friend for a long time, it can be seen that he is a little weak-hearted.
When the two are combined, the truth is obvious.
This matter is not big, it is not small, Yang Qing did violate the taboo in Li Qian's heart, so he wanted to decide to beat it, lest he have to make an inch in the future and do something irreparable.
Of course, he also knew that the other party didn't have any bad intentions, so he was able to expose it so easily, without causing any estranged estrangement between the two.
Today is destined to be unstoppable, not long after Yang Qing was sent away, the people who came to visit came again.
The person who came was Wu Lao Shuban and his nephew Rongrong.
During this period of time, Lao Wu really took a lot of words before he could be said to have moved his sister and agreed to his proposal to recommend Xiaorong to the public door. Of course, the process will not be too simple, he was able to solve it after moving out of Li Qian's backer------ although this is a matter that has not been skimmed yet, he has not even worshiped the mountain, he has already pulled up Master Li's banner to bluff people, and it is still unknown how to develop in the future.
Therefore, after he heard that Master Li was infected with the wind and cold, he kept thinking about coming over to visit, and by the way, he pulled his nephew to "worship the mountain------", no, the county was busy with the Dragon Boat Festival, so he inquired about Li Qian's address clearly, and came to the door with a gift today!
Li Qian has a good impression of this uncle and nephew, after all, they are also people who have helped him once, and the etiquette and thoughtful reception are still very necessary------ it is very strange, people are always used to being more polite to outsiders, and between people who are close to each other, there is less politeness.
No, most people are impatient when they speak in front of their parents; In front of the bad friends, they are all foul mouthed by each other, you punch me and I kick, as if you don't hit two punches and it doesn't matter if you don't have enough iron; Most of them don't care about their image in front of their wives, how comfortable they are------ cough cough, don't think crooked! It's just not very elegant habits such as picking feet in front of you, picking your nose, and farting in the bed.
When Lao Wu asked for his help and recommended Rong Rong to enter the yamen and be a white-clothed clerk, Li Qian pondered for a moment and looked at Xiao Rong.
"Do you really want to go to the public? Although you can still take the imperial examination as a scribe, the affairs of the yamen are complicated, and it will always be distracting, which will not be conducive to your career in the future------" After a pause, he continued: "In fact, you have become a painter yourself, if you practice, over time, it should not be a problem to become a court painter." I can do a little bit of help in this regard, and I don't think it's too difficult. β
The nephews and uncles were shocked when they heard this, and they never thought that Li Qian would be willing to help them so much. Although Li Qian will not spend money for them to dredge up the relationship without relatives and no reason, but with a person like him who is a two-rank jinshi, he only needs to send a letter to Jinling to his old friends of the same year, which can save a lot of trouble in the middle, which can not be said to be insufficient.
Old Wu Dengshi was a little hesitant, if he ruined his nephew's future because of his short-sightedness, I am afraid that he would not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
In fact, it was not only him, Rong Rong also hesitated when he first heard this, but he quickly made a decision, and resolutely bowed his hand to Li Qian: "Thanks to the master's love, Rong Rong has received his kindness!" The future of the court painter is good, but our family can't come up with so much money to dredge up the relationship------ besides, Xiaorong is already a seven-foot man, how can he bear to drag his parents down for his own personal future? β
"Okay, ambitious!"
When Li Qian heard this, he also felt extremely uplifted for a while, and when he looked at the other party again, he couldn't help but have a bit of appreciation in his eyes. In fact, he asked casually, if the other party really has the intention of becoming a painter, it is nothing to help this little favor------ but to be honest, what he said just now is not without temptation, and he is short of manpower at the moment!
Song Zhong, that bastard, took a shocking case to trap people, and he used a secret decree to pull himself onto the thief ship, and it really can't be done if he doesn't want to help, maybe he will lose his head------ Lao Zhu is not a good person, and the eagle dogs of Jinyiwei are not good at stubble, and none of them are easy to match!
Loyalty is the most important character as a subordinate, a person is not easy to be tempted, then loyalty is still relatively high------ premise is that the temptation is not too great, beyond the scope of the person's psychological capacity!
As for the question of personal ability, there is no need to think too much, as long as it is not a nerd who only knows how to "ignore what is going on outside the window and only read the books of the sages".
As long as you have this, people who have read books can do things better, which is the advantage of readers. The intellectually superior literati, once they play tricks, are much better than those rough people who only know how to do brute force, they are the real conspirators!
Only through the initial contact, Li Qian could see that Rong Rong was a talented and quick reader, although his eight-strand writing may not be good, there were no major defects in other aspects------ well, this little brother can accept it!"
After pondering for a moment, Li Qian gently bowed his head and said, "Leave this matter to me!" However, I don't plan to let you be the secretary of this county office------"
Lao Wu was shocked when he heard this, and was faintly disappointed, but he still smiled and said: "Master's willingness to help is to show love for our nephews and uncles, if it is a little difficult to recommend Xiaorong to be this white-clothed secretary, let him be a white servant first------
Rong Rong's heart also sank, and after listening to his uncle's words again, he couldn't help but feel even more lost.
Bai Gong did make him feel a little aggrieved, a boy like him who passed the second level of the county examination is much better than many people who can only read and hyphenation, and even if he can't even pass the Xiucai exam in the future, it will not be a problem to be a Mr. Mengxue. Let him bend down to be a small county official white servant, and he will just act as a helper for the catchers, which is all work that rough people can do.
However, he also knew that in every yamen, even if it was just a small bookstore, there would be many powerful families watching, ready to insert the sons and nephews of their clan into it at any time, so that it would be much easier to do things in the future.
"Uh------ you misunderstood!" Li Qian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Lao Wu's words, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's also that I didn't make it clear, forgive me!" I mean, I'm going to recommend Xiaorong as a master. β
β------β
As soon as the words fell, both of them seemed to be dreaming, and they couldn't believe their ears at all.
Touts?
My God, did we hear it right, or did Master Li make a slip of the tongue for a while?
It's actually the master!
"The Soul Returns------
Li Qian stretched out his hand and beckoned to the two of them quite improperly, and only after they came back to their senses did they smile: "You can rest assured!" I don't dare to say to others, our county lord will definitely agree to this matter! β
The nephew and uncle were still in shock, and after being stunned for a moment, they realized that it was time for them to express their gratitude, and even though they were busy bowing to Li Qian and thanking them------
Li Qian stretched out his hand to pick up this, that one bowed down again, helped that one and bowed again, which made him feel tired and panicked, and finally the two hands shook the person at the same time, and said solemnly, "If you are so polite again, I will regret it", which can be regarded as ending this situation of worshipping and worshipping.
------
------
Today's Peach Blossom Nunnery can be described as a "gathering of guests", and the guests who came to visit one after another were about to break through Li Qian's threshold------ which couldn't help but make him sigh------
However, this time, Li Qian really didn't want to slack off, because the person who came was Wang Lun, the county magistrate.
The dignified dignity of a county, the marquis of a hundred miles, personally visited himself, it can be regarded as a "look at the thatched house", Li Qian did not personally greet him------ in order to show respect, Li Qian even personally led the other party to the main hall, and invited him to take a seat. The two of them gave each other a lot, and finally sat down.
"Why did Lao Dong Wong come to the door in person?"
"It should be, it should be------" Wang Zhixian also said politely, looked at him and said with a smile: "Mr. is not healed, this county should have come to visit a long time ago, but I am entangled in everything, I hope Mr. will forgive me!" β
Li Qian didn't have the time to be polite to him all the time, so he only casually accepted a clichΓ©, and said bluntly: "It just so happens that I also want to discuss something with Dong Weng, but I don't want you to come over in person!" β
β------β
Wang Zhixian's cheeks twitched fiercely, daring to love himself for becoming the meat on the cutting board------ thinking about it, this is not a bad thing, Li Qian has something to ask for him, so it is natural for him to ask him for advice.
"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say!"
"Well, I'd like to recommend a personal ------ to Dong Weng."
"No problem!"
β------β
This time, Li Qian was depressed, and said in his heart that I haven't finished my words yet, what is the feeling that you can't wait to agree?
"Ahem, hehe------"
Wang Zhixian smiled a little embarrassedly, and said in an official tone: "The person who can be recommended by Mr. must have both ability and political integrity, and his background is innocent, why not use it in this county?" β
"Dong Weng is really meritocracy, quite the style of the ancient sages! I deeply admire ------ "As soon as Li Qian saw that he was so cheerful, he also snorted and sent a few words of flattery.
The sycophants of the two Jinshi are extraordinary, and they are incomparably useful even today's saints, and Wang Zhixian is naturally no exception. Unexpectedly, Li Qian suddenly changed his words, and said: "But in the next place, I think that this person has unparalleled wisdom and can be of great use, Dong Weng should treat him as a guest, and he should be assisted in the scene!" β
β------β
I can't answer this, because according to Wang Zhixian's original plan, he wanted Li Qian to be his advisor. Now although he has also won a strategist, the problem is that he doesn't even know what the name of that person is, and he hasn't even seen him in person, so how can he press his entire net worth without asking the roots?
This is not the difference between Wolong and Phoenix Chick!
Both are not common, and one can be ------ county government! Now he only saw Li Qian, how could he easily throw away the watermelon in front of him and run to pick up the sesame seeds?
However, when he looked at Li Qian's determined smile again, Wang Zhixian only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had suddenly become enlightened, and slapped the armrest and said, "Okay!" The prefecture agreed! β
"------ Dongweng, you've come to your senses!"
