Li Youqiang resisted the urge to beat, so he said that he drove away Dai Miaozhu, who was crying and sad, and was still suspicious. Sit down and take a few sips of tea to calm yourself down.

I don't want to mess around, so I must seize this opportunity. The little lady of the Zhu family is a distant cousin of her mother's family, and if she can be a concubine for Chen Zhixian, wouldn't she have a relationship with the promising Lord Chen.

When he was chatting with Master Huang a few days ago, Li You vaguely knew from his mouth that Chen Zhixian had a very good background in the court, and he was still a big one. As if there was some reason last year, the confident old man Chen failed to be elected to Hanlin as a Jishi (the only way to be the prime minister) after the examination, and he felt a great loss of face and left Beijing in a fit of anger. This officialdom rookie can be the prosperous Xujiang County (although the government affairs are also a little tired), which shows the great background.

What's more, Chen Zhixian is only in his twenties, and his health is not weak, and he is expected to be an official for at least 30 years in the future. It is both a high-performance stock and a potential stock, so Li You is very positive about the matter of the eldest lord's concubine.

Thinking of this, Li You got up and went to see Chen Zhixian and said: "Lord Yu, Chenghuang is the protector of the city god of the first emperor, who dominates the Yin Division and also holds Ganze. I want the old man to go to the City God Temple to pray for rain. ”

"That's what it should mean, though." Chen Zhixian naturally agreed.

Back at the public house, Menzi came to report again, saying that there were several temples asking to see each other.

You don't have to guess what these people are here to do, it's just to look at the City God's temple and ask for a letter. Li You thought that maybe it would be good to take it, so he let it all in.

Sure enough, after five people came in to greet the ceremony, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe with a white face and a long beard and a good appearance claimed to be Zhu Jia of Guandi Temple, and said to Li You: "I'm bothering today, I'll wait for a few small temples to prepare a banquet, and invite Mr. Li to appreciate the light." Afraid that Li You would not give face, he flattered him and said: "I specially invited a few local and Fucheng scholars to help with the fun, which will definitely satisfy Mr. Li." ”

But I don't know that the latter sentence really adds to the snake, just talking about the unhappiness in Li You's heart, after being in the limelight, he is really annoyed by this now. One by one, you laymen regard me as a lustful silver stick who has no women and is unbridled? Even so, you can't slap your face like this! It just doesn't make sense! Outrageous!

"Get out!" Li You scolded angrily.

The five of them were all stunned for a moment, they were obviously the ones who came to greet him, why did they offend Li Dianshi and make him angry? It's a pity that they are really not skilled in business, and they are also particular about stammering, so it is better not to stammer if they don't think it through and figure it out.

Li You saw that the five people were not moving, and shouted again: "Don't get out yet!" Learn to talk and come again! ”

After scolding these five people, Li You let out a long sigh, did this reputation and image go too far? To say that the same uninhibited literati can still recite poetry, appreciate talent, and know how to treat romance as elegance.

But these low-level characters are different, no matter what poems you make, what words you read, just staring at whose house you stayed in last night and getting a few tonight, just regard this as the only place in your eyes, there is really a feeling that summer insects can't talk ice.

Spiritually and materially, Li You yearns for the life of the upper class. However, the biggest contradiction is that he has the most contact with these lower-level figures, and in essence, he is still spinning in low-level circles. He struggled to make a name for himself, but those fames mutated as soon as they became close to his life. Suddenly thinking of Li Huan, he was surprised to find that he could now understand this girl who had always been regarded as mentally abnormal.

Let's be more restrained for the time being, Li You said helplessly, it seems that he is really going to jump into the pit dug by Liu Xunjian in the end. When a cheap son-in-law goes to attack the throne, although the risk is also great, it may still be an opportunity and a breakthrough. If you don't take the risk, you don't even have this opportunity, are you really willing to be a gangster in this low-level circle for a lifetime?

Unconsciously thought about it a lot, until this moment Li You finally figured it out. Before entering the threshold of officialdom, what qualifications do you have to pick and choose? It's good to be able to squeeze in for a while, and those who thought twice before were all caused by the young people in their previous lives! What about marrying an ugly wife, I will be a bodhisattva for me! What if someone says that the official eats the soft rice of the father-in-law's family, some people can't climb if they want to! What about being a military attaché? If the propaganda is good, it is both civil and military!

When the yamen was dispersed, Li You saw two cousins of his uncle's family and a sedan chair outside the yamen. He was very surprised, he didn't expect his uncle to move so fast, and he sent the daughter of Zhu Zhili's family today. In addition, Zhu Zhili's widow was not worried that her daughter also followed, and a sedan chair squeezed the two of them, almost tired and thin the sedan chair man.

Fortunately, Li You had already arranged a place to live in the City God Temple, but when he thought of Dai Miaozhu's suspicious and suspicious appearance, Li You had a headache and really didn't want to see him. He went back to the government to write a letter and sent his relatives to take the letter to the City God Temple to stay overnight.

said that the five temple wishes came out of the county government in embarrassment, and they were all extremely indignant, and they were kind enough to pat themselves on the back, but they were humiliated, how to teach people not to be angry. Dai Miaozhu of Chenghuang Temple was appointed by the county government, so he was a servile servant in his heart to Li You, a confidant of the county. But the temples of these five families are all ancestral family businesses, and they have a certain status and connections in the rivers and lakes, so they all went to the Guandi Temple to discuss countermeasures.

I only heard Cai Miaozhu of the God of Wealth Temple scolding: "The annihilators make power and make trouble!" How many county officials are bad at the hands of this class of thieves! ”

Wang Miaozhu of Jiang Taigong Temple echoed: "I don't know how many benefits Li You has gotten, he actually shelters Dai Short like this, I'm afraid it's not just a lady!" There will be no shortage of other benefits! ”

The Chai Temple Zhu of the Dragon King Temple even shouted: "Praying for rain actually excludes the rain Dragon King, is there such a heavenly principle!" ”

How many things in the world are born of misunderstandings! How did they know Li You's mood, and they only took their random speculations seriously. Li You didn't know their feelings, how could he understand the survival pressure of these ancestral temples with his experience, and subconsciously carried some thoughts that all temples in the 21st century could ask for financial appropriations to make ends meet.

Jia Miaozhu, the owner of this place, interrupted everyone and vented: "What's the use of you saying these things at this time, hurry up and make up your mind, otherwise you will teach the dwarf to be out of the limelight and hook the people of the whole city, and the incense I will wait for for a while will not be found, and what face will I have to worship the gods." ”

Gu Miao of the Chaoshen Wu Zixu Temple said: "Li Thief is unfair, how about I wait for Ming to raise the god to petition at the gate of the county government?" I don't believe it, how can there be a reason in the world to only let the City God Temple carry the gods and pray for rain! ”

Jia Miaozhu agreed: "We can't sit still, Ming said to recruit the deacon in the temple, and carry the statue of Emperor Guan to kneel at the gate of the county government, this is a plea petition and not a street parade." And there are a lot of people on the street in front of the county office, so you can attract some business by the way, ah no, it's incense. If you can attract the sympathy of the eldest master, then you must seek justice. In order to avoid causing another incident, be careful not to make a lot of noise and disgust. Also, after watching the sacrifice to the sky, I remembered a sentence from Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, public opinion is like water that can carry a boat and capsize a boat. Therefore, we have to find some sincere pilgrims to build momentum together, and we will exempt them from incense money in the future. ”

"Something's wrong! Why only carry the statue of Emperor Guan of your house? ”

Jia Miaozhu said proudly: "Emperor Guan's grandfather has been awarded the title of emperor of this dynasty, and he is a martial saint with the title of emperor, which of you compares?" Not to mention what it looks like to carry a few statues of gods! Don't you understand the king's reasoning? The extra incense will be shared equally with you! ”

Everyone was noisy, and several immortals wanted to show their faces. But I heard Jia Miaozhu say again: "Cai Miaozhu don't lift the statue, your Marshal Zhao Gongming really can't get on the stage, and he can't compare to the sages and true gods like us, and he has lowered the quality of our ranks." ”

"Not bad, not bad." Wang Miaozhu and Gu Miaozhu said, Cai Miaozhu was furious and wanted to fight with Jia Miaozhu, but he was pulled away, and finally had to agree that the immortals would go together.

Suddenly, Chai Miaozhu said again: "I heard that Li You and the monks don't deal with each other, do you want to bring some monks together?" ”

"You haven't heard the story of the Song Dynasty's Lianjin annihilation of Liao, but instead encountered the shame of Jingkang? Haven't you seen the historical fact that the Sanqing infighting invited Western Taoists to help with the fist, but instead led to the Western religious forces to open up the gods? Do you dare to learn from it? Jia Miaozhu, who is familiar with history books, said disdainfully.
