Chapter 64: A First Glimpse of Officialdom
"I'm talking to you, what are you doing with a smirk?" Xia Qian looked at Lin Lan, who was stunned, and said helplessly: "You, before the foundation is unstable, be cautious in your words and deeds!" Do you understand? β
"The student understood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lin Lan suddenly felt that the unattainable temple was not expected to be so close to her, as if she could leave a mist on that layer of diaphragm with a sigh.
A sparrow jumped out of the house, hid behind the woman, and stared at Lin Lan sticking out her tongue.
"Lin Lan, I haven't come to see my master for so many days, is it really stupid to read?"
Xia Qian said slowly: "Catch up with your master, and then come to my study!" The originally soothing face was once again stiffened.
The woman pushed, "You person, Lin Lan didn't come, she chattered all day long, but now that you're here, you're putting up a fight." β
"It is natural for students to visit their teachers. If you don't come, it's Lin Lan's past. I went to Jinling to study in the past few months, so I didn't come, it's not a student. β
Lin Lan bent down and saluted, after all, he was his enlightenment teacher, although he didn't teach him anything, but the etiquette still had to be fulfilled.
"Alright, alright. The meal is still some time to be ready, and you talk to Bao'er, this girl, who has been thinking about you, why don't you come to see her, why don't you come to see her. β
"Who's reading him?" The little girl grimaced, "This big glutton, you know how to grab something to eat with me." β
Lin Lan smiled and ignored this girl.
Shi Niang shook her head and said, "If Lin Lan doesn't come, when did you finish half a bowl of rice?" Eat less than cats, Lin Lan is here, you can eat more. I really can't help you. β
"Mother, why do you always go for this big glutton. I don't care, he eats our family's rice, and he's a glutton! β
"Bao'er, another day, big brother invites you to eat Yuqing Fang, I promise you haven't eaten it, how about it?"
The little girl's eyes lit up, "Yu Qingfang? Where is it sold? β
"Hehe, this is the only one, there is no other branch." Lin Lan and Shi Niang exchanged a few words of greeting, probably to greet Lin Lan's parents for their well-being, and Lin Lan replied respectfully one by one. Only Bao'er was unhappy with an oil bottle hanging on her mouth, rubbing the tip of her shoe on the ground.
"You kid, that's how your shoes are worn out for you. Okay, my mother went to see if the kitchen was busy, Lin Lan, your husband is waiting in the study, I guess I still have something to say to you. The teacher left with a smile on her face.
Lin Lan dragged a small oil bottle and walked towards the independent small study on the west side.
"Hey, big glutton, what is Yuqing Fang eating? Why haven't I heard of it. "Bao'er is only ten years old, so she is naturally a little childish, and on weekdays, the senior brothers of the academy play around, and she is a little rude and willful to play with this little junior sister.
"Little gluttony, I said okay, I'll bring it to you another day, and now I have something to do, so I won't be poor with you." Lin Lan touched Bao'er's head as usual, "Really, I love to eat so much, why can't I grow up?" β
"You glutton! If I had eaten so much of you, I would have grown into a tree! Bao'er puffed out her mouth and looked angry.
Lin Lan smiled and stepped into the study.
This study is very familiar to Lin Lan. He was the last to enroll, but he spent the longest in his study.
The study room is not very large, and a few large bookcases have occupied most of the space, and there are a lot of books on it.
Xia Qian looked up at Lin Lan and said, "Do you plan to go to the Tongzi test in the spring next year?" β
"Yes, yes." Lin Lan took out a book and found that he had read it, and the previous great Confucian Wei Yuan's commentary on the "Analects" put it back. Sometimes, he and Xia Qian are also teachers and friends, and there are not so many rules, so they don't look respectful in the study.
"You're short on money?" Xia Qian's face was very ugly.
Lin Lan continued to find the book she wanted to read, and muttered, "Who doesn't lack money?" Who is too much? β
"How much is that broken tofu worth?"
Lin Lan sat back in her chair quietly, the book in her hand seemed to be an ancient book, even the binding was worn, and the title page was missing, but it did not affect reading. "To make a lot of money, you need to save up from small money, so I thought of this trick, if Mr. wants to eat, report the student's name, and give it a discount."
Xia Qian ignored Lin Lan's ridicule, was silent for a moment, and said, "Have you ever thought about going to the northwest in the future?" β
"Sir, if you're not marrying a daughter, don't think about the student."
Xia Qian shook his head and said, "What you said was, why did you dismiss the teacher in the first place?" It was not the battle of Yumen Pass, more than 10,000 elite soldiers were killed and wounded, and then the voice of the lord became more and more intense, the officialdom suppressed and excluded, and the party members stood in a row, and they were impeached if they were not careful. β
Lin Lan asked, "Sir, you said that Jingshi is going to sing a good show, do you know who set up the scene?" β
"Except for the old man Chen in the northwest, who will set up a stage to sing." Xia Qian is not a nerd, and he actually knows Chen Zhice.
Many masters on both sides of the Qinhuai Strait, and the masters who teach, are all depressed and suppressed.
"A single old General Chen shouldn't be able to make any waves." Lin Lan yawned, "This play, if a few literati play tricks, I'm afraid it won't have such a big impact." β
Xia Qian put the book on the table, got up and said, "Let's go eat." β
"Why didn't you go on, sir?" Although Lin Lan knew some general situations, the immortals would never do anything when they fought, which was too ungraceful. The underlying means were what he wanted to understand.
Jingshi and Liudu are mixed, Lin Lan never believed in the so-called trust between monarchs and ministers.
If the Holy One is the Lord of peace, how can these fighters be put together? Now Chen Zhice has once again fired the first shot of the main battle with one of his Liangzhou words, what kind of trouble is he going to make.
"Let's eat." Xia Qian replied very calmly, obviously not wanting to say any more. Maybe he knows something, or maybe he really doesn't.
Bao'er had already sat down at the table, with her two little hands under her pointed chin, staring directly at the sauced beef, thinking that she would have to eat a lot more than that big glutton.
Seeing Xia Qian and Lin Lan coming, the little girl stood up and stood obediently next to her mother, waiting for Xia Qian to take a seat.
"Lin Lan, sit."
"Alas, Master Xie."
Before Lin Lan sat down, he first picked up the wine cup and poured it for Xia Qian, and then sat down. Bao'er on the opposite side stuck out her tongue at Lin Lan, and raised her chopsticks a little provocatively, as if she was about to give Xia Qian's orders.
"Eat." Xia Qian picked up the bowl and sandwiched the chopsticks sauce beans.
Bao'er didn't have the habit of serving bowls, and she was not allowed to speak at the dinner table, so she turned into a practical action to provoke the big gluttony opposite, but she only ate a few bites, and before she had time to chew, she choked and coughed there.
"What are you doing eating so fast? And no one is robbing you. Shi Niang patted her back, shook her head and scolded with a smile.
Xia Qian took a sip of wine, "She's just crazy." Eating a little food on weekdays is like asking her, but today someone from the house is here, and she eats more urgently than anyone else. β
Lin Lan laughed silently.
Bao'er girl shook over a big white eye, and her teeth itched with hatred.
But she didn't dare do anything like throwing soup and spitting bones at the dinner table with that nasty fellow. Her father's proud protΓ©gΓ© made her suffer, so she didn't dare to mess around again.
