Chapter 64: The Manor (4)
People who are afraid of death have a good advantage, that is, they are generally very practical, and in order to survive, they can break through many bottom limits, and they can do everything.
is like this Li Kaiming in front of him, if he is placed in the Anti-Japanese War in the future, he will definitely be a very good traitor and lackey traitor.
Under normal circumstances, Tang Xiu hates this kind of traitor and traitor, but now, he is very satisfied with Li Kaiming's performance.
Li Weixian really couldn't wait, and the 40,000 guan offered by Tang Xiu was indeed the highest price among everyone.
In this way, Tang Xiu's heart was completely put into his stomach.
Taoyuan Pavilion, I can't run!
Getting off the carriage of the Li family, under the leadership of Li Kaiming, the chief butler of the Li Mansion, Tang Xiu took Tang Panshi and Tang Lu and stepped into the gate of the Li Mansion.
The mansion of the Li Mansion is really extraordinary, not to mention the scale and layout inside, just the two pairs of huge and majestic stone lions placed at the door are not something that ordinary families can have, don't you see that Tang Lu's kid's eyes are straight? From the moment he entered the gate of the Li Mansion, Tang Lu involuntarily lowered his head, and the problem of inferiority complex was committed again.
Tang Xiu didn't have time to pay attention to him, but Tang Panshi quietly reached out and tugged at Tang Lu's sleeve and gently pouted to the back of the young master in front of him when Tang Lu looked at him.
Tang Lu took the opportunity to look up at the young master who was gossiping with Li Kaiming in front, remembering the previous remarks about the face of the Tang Mansion in the mansion, he involuntarily straightened up, and kept muttering silently in his mouth: I am not a person now, I am the image and face of the Tang Mansion outside, polite but not polite, humble but not inferior...... I'm not alone now, I'm from the Tang Mansion......
As if he was chanting scriptures, in the midst of repeated recitation, Tang Lu was successfully hypnotized by himself, the self-confidence on his body began to condense little by little, and the expression on his face began to become smooth and natural little by little, and when they walked to the door of the hall of the Li Mansion, Tang Lu had already returned to his usual state in the Tang Mansion.
This made Tang Panshi, who had been paying attention to the changes in Tang Lu's expression, very surprised in his heart, this child could not be possessed by a ghost, right? The god muttered a few silent incantations, why did the whole person become a little different?
In front of the hall door, Li Kaiming suddenly stopped, before inviting Tang Xiu into the hall, he glanced at the two subordinates behind Tang Xiu with some embarrassment, and saw that they also seemed to have a frame to go in together, so he reminded Tang Xiu softly: "Doctor Tang, there is a side room in the house that specially entertains accompanying servants, do you think let the two of them rest in the side room first?" ”
"How?" Tang Xiu's eyebrows furrowed, knowing that Li Kaiming should not make things difficult for him at this time, so he asked in confusion: "Isn't it that Lord Li has a taboo in this regard?" ”
Li Kaiming shook his head lightly and said: "There is no taboo, it's just that there are generally some unwritten particularities when officials interact with each other, and it is better when the officials go to see the lower officials, but when the lower officials go to visit the officials, they usually enter the hall alone to show their respect for the officials." ”
Although Li Kaiming didn't say it directly, the implication was quite obvious, even the officials below would consciously leave their entourage outside when they came to visit their master, and you Tang Xiu was a civilian who was nothing, not to mention it.
"I see." Tang Xiu chuckled understandingly, and just when Li Kaiming felt that he had persuaded Tang Xiu, Tang Xiu changed his words and said, "However, I, Tang someone, am not a person in the officialdom, and I have never thought of stepping into the officialdom, so I don't have to abide by the rules of this officialdom, right?" ”
"But ......"
"Don't worry." Tang Xiuda strode into the living room, chuckled and said to Li Kaiming: "I am just an insignificant little person in the eyes of Lord Li, even if there is really something wrong, Lord Li will not put down his body to worry about me." ”
Shao Yin wants to be an official at the level of vice governor in the future.
Just imagine, would a vice governor care about a flat-headed little person who usually doesn't match him at all and doesn't understand the rules in front of him? Even if he really touched his taboo, he would laugh at most, and he wouldn't really bother with him, because if he was too careful, he would only be laughed at.
Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or later generations, no official will be willing to let the evaluations of 'lack of energy' and 'narrow-mindedness' fall on him, especially those officials who still want to be motivated and want to climb higher, especially those who want to climb up.
This is the fundamental reason why the higher-ranking officials tend to be so tolerant and easy-going when dealing with officials and civilians whose status is far inferior to theirs.
Therefore, Tang Xiu did not hesitate at all and directly took Tang Panshi and Tang Lu into the hall, he came today to discuss business, and after today, he may never meet or deal with Li Weixian again, he has no need to deliberately cater to Li Weixian.
If he really wanted to convince him and wanted to have a good fate, wouldn't it be better for Tang Xiu to directly pay 50,000 yuan to buy Taoyuan Pavilion, so why did he have to wait so long?
"In this way, the villain will not say more." Everyone has already come in, and Li Kaiming can only say this, please Tang Xiu sit down on the chair in the first place, and ask the next person to serve tea, Li Kaiming said: "Doctor Tang, stay here for a while, the villain will go and invite my master to come over." ”
Li Kaiming walked away, and Tang Panshi persuaded him with a worried face: "Young master, why don't I and Xiaolu avoid it?" If you offend Master Li because of this little thing, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. ”
"It doesn't matter." Tang Xiu shook his head disappreciatively and said, "We're not here to beg him to do something, if we weaken our momentum at this time, how can we bargain with him for a while?" If Li Weixian's strength is really so bad that he even remembers us for this little thing, then won't he hate us even more after this deal is negotiated? ”
If the gas volume is good, you naturally don't need to mention it, if the gas volume is poor, it will be offended anyway, compared with the price difference of 10,000 yuan, what is it to bring two followers in?
Faced with the young master's crooked reasoning, Tang Panshi had no way to refute it, nodded lightly and said no more.
Tang Lu also stood behind Tang Xiu as usual at this time, and was not deterred by the high-end furnishings in the living room of the Li Mansion, but his eyes were a little inactive, although his lips did not move, but Tang Panshi still felt that this kid must still be silently reciting those spells that he didn't know what they were, otherwise how could he be so quiet now?
Sensing Tang Lu's abnormality, Tang Xiu also turned around and glanced at him, seeing that although Tang Lu's eyes were a little dull, they were generally quite natural, more than a little stronger than the last time in Pei's Mansion, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
Self-hypnosis, and it can have such a good effect in such a short period of time, it is impossible to put it on ordinary people, and it seems that Tang Lu, this kid, is not so useless.
While thinking about it, he heard footsteps outside, Tang Xiu looked up towards the door of the hall, and saw a white-faced scribe in a green shirt slowly stepping into the main hall, and Li Kaiming carefully followed behind him.
No need to ask, this middle-aged scribe must be Li Weixian, a Chinese scholar who is about to go to Chang'an, and before Li Wei approaches, Tang Xiu is busy getting up to greet him.
