Chapter 13 Speech

"Hey, third uncle, don't pull me, I still have to go to work!"

"The sky is falling, which class are you still attending, come with me!"

Under the strange gaze of the porter in Pei Yang Mansion, Li Xi was forced out of the door by his third uncle Li Qiu, and he didn't speak when he went out, just put on a straight face, and dragged Li Xi into the carriage parked at the door, and then ordered the coachman to go directly to Xiaofan Building.

When the carriage arrived, Li Qiu pulled him off the carriage again and pushed him directly into Xiaofan Building.

"I don't have to say anything, you go in and listen to it yourself, you go, go and listen!"

It is said that Xiaofanlou is the industry of Yizhou Chengdu Mansion that is fresh in the family, known for its luxury, and I don't know outside, anyway, in Shuzhong, their family is the first to open a branch, and now this Jinyuan Xiaofanlou is one of the branches, according to Li Xi's understanding, this Jinyuan Xiaofanlou is even one of the best restaurants in the entire Jinyuan County.

At that moment, Li Xi walked in helplessly under the push of his third uncle, but he didn't want to be startled as soon as he entered the door.

At this time, it is said that it is the most leisurely time for the restaurant, especially the first floor below, which is for ordinary customers, unlike the upstairs, even if it is not the right time, there are people sitting and drinking tea and chatting about things.

But the small fan building right now is almost overcrowded, and there are full seats everywhere, only there are two empty tables left in the corners, just when Li Xi and the others entered the door, everyone was spitting and not knowing what they were discussing, the atmosphere was so warm that as soon as he entered, Li Xi felt that he almost didn't let the oncoming sound shake over!

Before a young man from the hall came to greet him, everyone's discussion was already in his ears.

"Did you hear that? The Li Xi in the county school actually went to Pei Yang's house as an account room! ”

"Of course I heard about it, who doesn't know about it, you said it's also evil, as far as I know, Li Xi's third uncle is a rich master, what's the matter, Li Xi's father is gone, he doesn't care about being an uncle? Even if he doesn't care about anything, Li Xi and the Liu family are still close, the old man of the Liu family is an old stick with a hard handle, he can also watch Li Xi go to work as an account? A dignified talent, isn't this nonsense! ”

"Who's to say it isn't! Uh, let's keep our voices down...... And that's not all I've just heard! ”

"What's the matter? What else is going on here? ”

"Yes! It's a big hair! What do you think, what kind of person is Li Xi, a poem of Konghou, to be honest, it is eternal, the old master in the state school has said it, it is enough to be compared with Qu Zi, why does he have to blaspheme himself like this, go to that Pei Yang's house as a small accountant? And we haven't heard of any objections from his third uncle Li Qiu, right? As for the Liu family, they didn't let out a single fart, why? ”

"Why?"

"It is said that Pei Yang's is a flower and a moon, hehe...... Got it? ”

"Uh...... This, can't you? ”

"What's not to do, do you know where this news came from? Old Pei's family! It is said that Li Xi had already been with Pei Yang's swing a year ago. The woman hooked up together, why did she have to break up in the first place, that is, because she was pregnant, and she was afraid that she would not be able to hide it if she continued to stay in Lao Pei's house! You think, she is a surviving person, her husband has been dead for two years, where did she get pregnant! ”

Li ...... Li Xi's kid? ”

"Of course! I heard that the old Pei family didn't agree to her moving out as a woman and setting up another door, so she poured a basin of dirty water on Pei Song's kid, and it was a good splash, who made Pei Song's kid not a good bird in the first place, so the old man of the Pei family was forced to agree to split the family. Now it is said that after Pei Yang's set up another portal, he is at home to protect the fetus with peace of mind, why Li Xi used to be an account room has not become an obvious thing, people are not going to be any account room, they are simply looking for an excuse to visit their concubines! ”

“…… Unexpectedly, I chatted with a few friends yesterday, and praised Li Xi for being a genius, I don't want to, alas, I don't want to be such a ...... Alas, I don't know self-love, I don't know self-love! ”

"Hehe, I don't know if self-love is true, but it's not false that Yanfu is not shallow, it is said that the Liu family got the news that Lord Sima has lost his temper, and he is about to divorce Li Xi, I said, this is a good opportunity, why don't you hurry up and go home to Zhang Luo's matchmaker?"

"I'm not successful, I've been on the door twice, and people don't look down on me at all, but this Li Xi has always been my favorite, a few days ago, as soon as the masterpiece came out, I even thought that even Jinshi was in his hands, but I didn't want him to be so unbearable, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

…………

Li Xizheng could hear himself, but he was pushed by the third uncle, it turned out that the young man who ran the hall was finally busy with the work in his hand, and came to beckon them to take a seat.

The two of them found a corner that no one paid attention to, and Li Qiu just ordered a few dishes at random, asked for a pot of wine, and then waved his hand to send the young man away.

"Did you hear it all?" He asked.

"Well, I heard it, so loudly, of course I can hear it!" Li Xi nodded, his expression leisurely.

Li Qiu's eyes widened and he watched, although he was angry, he still lowered his voice, just knocked on the table angrily with his hand, and roared: "I heard you are still so comfortable? Look at your bear-like appearance! You kid don't want a future? How much money do you want to think it's enough for you to spend, say a number, and the third uncle will give it to you! You are not ashamed, your third uncle is ashamed! ”

Li Xi smiled hesitantly, and when he saw that the young man came up with the wine first, he hurriedly borrowed flowers and offered Buddha to stand up and give Li Qiu a full glass first, and then sat down and said: "Third uncle, don't worry, I'm here for our old Li family!" ”

"Shit! Your third uncle doesn't need your kindness, as long as you read your books and take your Jinshi, it is the greatest contribution to our old Li family, the third uncle still lacks your two money, and you want to go to other people's current people to earn those few months of money? Listen, listen, if you do this, your third uncle and my backbone are about to be broken! Tell me, what are you planning for our old Li family? That's what you're going to do? Makes you angry, and you're comfortable, aren't you? ”

Li Xi smiled again when he heard this, picked up the cup and handed it over, "Don't be angry and listen to me, come, you have a drink and listen to me slowly." ”

Li Qiu flicked his sleeves angrily, "I don't drink, you put it down!" Let me tell you boy, if you don't explain it to me today, your third uncle will not have you as a nephew from today onwards! ”

Li Xi reluctantly put down the wine glass and said, "Okay, if you had known that you were angry for this, you pulled me out, so I won't come out with you, isn't it just a matter of a few words!" ”

He coughed, sat upright, and said, "Third uncle, I have thought about what you said, in the past ten days, since I woke up after falling from the restaurant, I have been thinking about these things all day long. ”

Yes, as a traverser, since he understood that he had crossed over, Li Xi was facing such a completely strange era and a completely unfamiliar place, he was a normal person, after experiencing the initial panic and frustration, when he calmed down, of course, the first step would be to consider how he should survive in this world, how to survive better, that is, what is his way out?

At that moment, Li Xi faced the closest person in the world and talked eloquently, "What is my way out?" I know you must be the first to say, study and take the Jinshi exam, become an official! Right? But no, really not, third uncle, I know how many pounds and taels I have! If you want to write a few good poems occasionally, your nephew has this talent, and you don't need to be modest about this, but the road to scientific research is not just a few good poems, from fame, to relationships, to writing, to on-the-spot play, and even whether your words are beautiful or not...... It's too much, and I'll be honest with you, the path of being admitted to the Jinshi is really not suitable for me! ”

"Of course...... Don't worry, listen to me slowly...... Of course, I know that in addition to scientific examinations, fame is also a good thing, and fame is not the kind of exam questions for you, you must be finalized, this thing can still be accumulated slowly, do you think that with my talent, as long as it accumulates to a certain extent, it will definitely become a famous person in the world, right? As long as you become a famous person in the world, no matter what you want to do as an official or what you want to do, you must be invincible, maybe one day the emperor will hear my poem, and his brain will be confused, and he can still summon me to Chang'an to be a big official, right? ”

Li Qiu nodded when he heard this, but Li Xi shook his head.

"In fact? I've thought about it, but it doesn't work! Why? Because that prestige needs to be raised for years, more than ten years, or even decades, before there is no prestige, I will read honestly every day? ”

Li Xi smiled and said with certainty: "That's not the life I want. ”

Li Qiu took a deep breath and asked, "Reading is not the life you want, so what do you want?" Hooking up with someone else's widow? Make the whole city full of your gossip? ”

Li Xi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "This ...... This is purely an accident, you know me, I don't know what Pei Yang's family is, I just know her name, I still heard it from your mouth. Besides, even if I really wanted to do this kind of thing, I would never have gotten to this point, I would definitely eat the meat without saying a word, where would I be so stupid, and my face would be full of oil, and I would be stunned for people to see! ”

Li Qiu choked a lot when he heard this, so he simply picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

Li Xi smiled hesitantly, and said: "So, I don't like the two paths you envisioned for me, they can't do it, they don't suit me, I know, then you must say it next, there is a third way, right?" Old Man Liu can stuff me into any yamen, right? ”

Li Qiu nodded when he heard this, "Even if it is the two roads you mentioned just now, it is not good to study and take the Jinshi exam, and you don't want to slowly grow your reputation, so you honestly go to the county government to be a sword and pen officer, right?" Look at your uncle, his talent is far worse than yours, he has just been a small knife and pen officer in the county government over the years, but look at it, people all over the city, who dares to look down on him? Isn't he still living comfortably? ”

After a pause, he said again: "And your father, he also started as a junior official back then, and then he was not promoted, promoted to a liuguan, and later even became the master of a county, how honorable?" And your old father-in-law, Old Man Liu was not even a junior official back then, just a servant in the shogunate......"

He said it up, but Li Xi just smiled, and even waved his hand to interrupt him in the end, "Third uncle, what you said is also a way, but ...... If you are a small official, you dare to put on a face for you if you are an official, what is the fun in life? And how many officials can a small official have? If you want to make money, don't you have to rely on gray income? ”

"Grey income? What do you mean? You've been popping out of your mouth lately with some inexplicable things, what kind of work, gray income, I think you're going crazy, let you say this, you don't want to see people's faces, but even your old father-in-law, he is an official residence in a state Sima, don't you have to look at people's faces? You just don't make sense when you say this! ”

Li Xi smiled when he heard this, "Third uncle, I want to make money, this will not change until any time, I don't have money in my hand, I can't do many things if I want to, as for what you said about your money, hehe, I honestly say that your money is too little, not enough!" ”

Li Qiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, at this time Li Xi smiled when he saw this, and said: "As for the future you said, don't worry, I will definitely be an official in the future, the official-based society, everything is inferior, only to be an official, I am not stupid!" In short, don't mention my heart, I have my own plans, I have my own methods, you just wait for my good news! ”

When Li Qiu heard this, he was willing to believe it, thinking that he was only an eighteen-year-old young man, and he hadn't even married his daughter-in-law, even if he had read some books, but everything was difficult in this world, what could he know as a kid? Therefore, he only thought that Li Xi was in a hurry to ask himself, so he used those words to fool himself.

It's just that he was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by an exclamation.

"Are you...... Li Xi! ”

All of a sudden, the sound in the first floor of the entire Xiaofan Building suddenly soared to the end, and then, it suddenly became miraculously quiet, everyone turned their heads to look at Li Xi who was sitting in the corner, and even the young man who was serving the food with a plate couldn't help but stand in the middle of the road, almost without missing the dishes.

The person who shouted this sentence was really not a stranger, it was the trafficker Dai Jun, who Li Xi met at the birthday banquet of Old Man Liu Bo a few years ago, known as Dai Jun, who was known as Dai Huzi.

At that moment, when he turned his head and saw Li Xi, he couldn't help but scream, and then saw that the entire first floor suddenly quieted down, but he couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed, and he barely squeezed out a smile on his face at the moment, but it was more ugly than crying.

"It turned out to be ...... Brother Zi, what a coincidence, hehe, what a coincidence. ”

Just now he was still there spitting and talking about this with others, but he didn't want the main man to sit not far away, although he was a little skeptical about these gossips, so he didn't say anything bad about Li Xi, but when he met it at the moment, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, so that he didn't know what to do at all.

However, with his words, everyone has completely confirmed that the young man sitting in the corner is Li Xi.

At that moment, a man dressed as a scholar and wearing a shirt at the same table as Dai Zi quickly stood up and snorted coldly: "It turns out that you are Li Xi, you have done such an ugly thing, you still have the face to listen to me and others here, if it were me, I am afraid that I will be ashamed to death!" ”

Li Xi smiled shyly when he heard this, and without even hesitating, he said directly: "This benevolent brother, I know when I hear your words, just by relying on you, you don't have the ability to seduce widows at all, so there is no need to say cruel words." ”

"You ......," the gentleman choked on him.

The atmosphere at the scene was also suddenly weird, and many people stared at each other, not expecting that the owner of the matter they were discussing just now was not only in this restaurant, but also did such an ugly thing, and his attitude could be so arrogant!

At this time, Li Xi still had his signboard-like shy smile on his face, stood up slowly, first looked around the field, and then cleared his throat and said: "I know that you are gathering here, just talking about me Li Xi, saying that I disregard my identity as a scholar and go to other people's homes to be a subordinate, saying that I disregard my shame and seduce other people's widows, right?" ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, but no one answered.

Li Xi smiled and said: "The news you have gotten is true and false, it is true, I did go to be a bookkeeper for others, but I am not a subordinate, I have not yet reached the point of starvation, besides, it has really come to that point, I still have my third uncle, so I am not going to sell myself into slavery as you think." ”

"The reason why I want to be a bookkeeper is that I naturally have my own plans, I want to make money, I'm not afraid of losing this person, I just want to make money! What's so bad about money, I like money! My third uncle said that I want to spend money, even if I ask him for it, it is not a problem how much, he will give it! But I told him that he had too little money to spend, so I had to earn it myself! ”

"As for the fake news you heard, it is naturally some of my Li Xi's so-called romantic affairs, in fact, this fake news is not harmful to me, so in my opinion, you can say whatever you like, romantic affairs, I am not afraid of losing this person, beautiful women like everyone who sees them, this is right! If I can really do such a beautiful thing, I am not afraid to admit it, or that sentence, in my opinion, there is nothing to be ashamed of! ”

"Even if I didn't even see it, it was rumored that someone was spreading, in fact, I don't think it's anything, at least I can enjoy it! But what about this matter now, I can't help but stand up and clarify, because I can't just think about my own happiness, the young lady of the Pei family can't afford to lose this person! Isn't that the truth? ”

"So today, I, Li Xi, swear to God here, of course, in fact, many people who have known me for a long time can also testify for me, until today, I am in Pei Yang's Mansion as a bookkeeper, I have never seen the young lady of Pei Mansion! Therefore, all the things you are talking about are nonsense, and if you are wise, you can stop it! ”

After saying this, the entire first floor was still silent, but Li Xi didn't care about them, just smiled shyly again, and then turned around and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, the scholar who was choked by his words just now opened his mouth spoke again, he snorted coldly, and said: "If you want to make money, yes, everyone knows that money is a good thing, and people who study in my generation don't hate money, but the sage has a saying that a gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way." I've never heard of a lot of money to go to someone else's house to be a small bookkeeper! ”

When everyone heard this, they all came back to their senses, the key is that Li Xi's words just now shocked them too much.

There is no doubt that what Li Xi said is true, but only in this way is it surprising!

You are a scholar, you love money with your mouth open and closed, and you want to make money, and your books have been read into the belly of a dog? Have you forgotten the words of the saints you learned? The sage said, "Those who read should be poor and happy!"

As for what kind of affair, this person who reads has no objection, the red sleeves add fragrance, and it is still a good story to say, but the problem is, if the other party is a surviving person...... This will damage the reputation!

Besides, money, everyone doesn't hate it, and beautiful women, everyone likes it, but if you take this as your life pursuit...... That's a bit of a shame! So although many people think so in their hearts, almost no one dares to say this, Li Xi said it so generously, which naturally surprised them!

Therefore, when the gentleman's words fell, everyone immediately echoed in one voice: "Yes, yes, what kind of money can you make by being a bookkeeper!" "It's a state of disdain.

"But it's not, I've heard of Mr. Li Qiu's business, in our Jinyuan County, it is also in the forefront, there are a lot of shops at home, it is said that there are hundreds of acres of good paddy fields outside the city, hum, I really don't know how many years to earn so much money when the account office, actually said that this is not enough?"

Li Xi smiled when he heard this, first winked at the third uncle Li Qiu, who had no place to vent his temper, and then said calmly: "This brother is right, just by being a bookkeeper, naturally there is not so much money to earn!" As for how I make money, it's not easy to say right now, but you'll just have to wait and see. ”

He thought for a while, and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, "Three months, at most half a year, everyone will know that I, Li Xi, not only do poetry well, but also make money, and I am much better than you!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other immediately, with an expression on their faces that they had heard a big joke, almost in the blink of an eye, and there was a cold snort from the first floor of this small fan building.

It's just everyone's eyes!

And at this time, Li Xi's third uncle Li Qiu couldn't help but sigh, because he knew that with Li Xi's presumptuous bluntness just now, coupled with the almost bragging-like remark just now, he was about to become a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone in the entire Jinyuan County and even the entire Shuzhou!

How stupid this son is!
