Chapter 9 Preparations
Xu Yuanzuo went forward and backwards for his master, looking for information and writing texts, of course, he was not respectful and helpful.
From his subconscious, all his actions are based on trading.
Since you have put in the labor, you should be paid for it.
It's just that with Xu Yuanzuo's understanding of Lu Fuzi, it is unrealistic to want to take out the money. First of all, he knew that Lu Fuzi himself was short of money. Secondly, Lu Fuzi attaches great importance to wealth, and will take it for granted that the second child of the Xu family is still under him, and it is within his duty to be his brother's help to run errands.
What's more, this brother used to be his own student.
Fortunately, Xu Yuanzuo didn't think about making such a little mosquito-like profit on this at first.
"Master, the student wants to go to the county town to make a living, learn some business and make a living, if the master has a familiar business, please help recommend one or two." Xu Yuanzuo said respectfully.
The price code proposed was carefully analyzed by Xu Yuanzuo.
Lu Fuzi himself is a student, and he has a vote of classmates in the county school, even if he fails to pass the exam, he will be able to enter the national prison in the new year. Such an identity may belong to the "bottom" in the novel, but in reality, he is a local virtuous person, at least equivalent to a member of the CPPCC in later generations, or a representative of the National People's Congress.
Moreover, the Lu family is also doing business themselves. Lu Fuzi's son was a merchant selling silk cloth. Regardless of whether you make money or not, there will always be a few businesses in the county town.
In this era, apprentices and buddies do not dare to accept them casually, if it is not for the old sect, there must be a reliable person to recommend. Thinking that Lu Fuzi has a certain identity and a certain connection, it is recommended that he find a job, and there is no problem in technology.
What needs to be worried is that Lu Fuzi feels that Xu Yuanzuo's little favor is not worthy of using his favor.
"It's not easy to do...... "Lu Fuzi really rolled his eyes and sang in a flowery tone.
"Please take the master's attention. The most bitter thing in the hearts of students is not the hardship at home, but the fact that they can't flatter the master with a bundle that they can handle. Xu Yuanzuo secretly scolded this old man in his heart for being insatiable, but he had done enough heartbreaking homework on his face, as if he really felt great guilt for the teacher.
Lu Fuzi naturally heard the song and knew the elegant meaning, his heart was happy, and the corners of his mouth opened unconsciously: "This thing is not easy to do, mainly because I am worried that the recommended person will hurt the friendship between the two families." But you are what I watched grow up, you know the roots, and you have always been honest and cautious, you don't even say a word on weekdays, how can you not be reassuring to do things? So it's not easy for others to do it, but you're very easy to do. â
It was the first time Xu Yuanzuo had heard someone praise "himself" like this, and he was also happy: "Thank you, Master." The laborer really makes the students not very afraid. â
Lu Fuzi shook his hand disapprovingly, and said, "What is it worth in the same township?" I only hope that you still remember what you said about your ambition to go to school, and if you have a little net worth in the future, you will make a name for yourself again, and it will be in vain for me to cultivate. â
"That's that, and the students will take it to heart." Xu Yuanzuo replied repeatedly.
Lu Fuzi Wenyun is mediocre, he is still a student at the age of fifty, but he is not a pedantic person in terms of human relations. Jiangnan is prosperous in business, and it is common for people to be entrusted with favors, and it is even more common to recommend one or two children to work in a commercial bank.
If he casually finds an errand for Xu Yuanzuo, one will not be able to show his means, and the other is afraid that Xu Yuanzuo will be dissatisfied in his heart, and the filial piety he will give in the future will inevitably be greatly reduced.
With this concern, Lu Fuzi really bothered to help Xu Yuanzuo find a job, and even went to the county town two or three times in person.
Xu Yuanzuo was not afraid of being slow to reply to the letter, but he was afraid that Lu Fuzi would find a random errand job for him in order to perfunctory.
If that's the case, you can't go even if you tear your face, otherwise there will be no way out for the rest of your life. In fact, this is the same as the first job after graduating from college, for people with ambition and perseverance, the career prospects of the world's top 500 clerks are brighter than those of small directors of private enterprises.
Based on Xu Yuanzuo's psychological analysis of Lu Fuzi, it is determined that Lu Fuzi is a person who must be willing to work hard to win people's benefits. This kind of person seems to be indifferent to outsiders, and even a little high-minded, but he also has high moral requirements for himself inside, so that he will not accept money and do nothing, or perfunctory.
Even if he knew this, Xu Yuanzuo still had to go to the school from time to time to brush up and save his senses. For example, when the younger brother is sent to study, for example, he brings some breakfast for the master, and when the master asks the students to study on their own, he goes in to make tea, pour water and send a hot towel...... They are all small loyalists and small favors, but they can remind Lu Fuzi of his savings.
It can be regarded as a disguised stance.
When he doesn't have to save the zĂ i, Xu Yuanzuo doesn't stay in the house all day to read and write, review mathematics and accounting. He already has the skills to cope with the job at hand, and more importantly, to turn around his image and build a solid and reliable network.
In terms of image, "stupid and stupid" is a double-edged sword.
The vast majority of people are willing to condescend to communicate with people, and everyone knows that it is not a good deal to beg with their necks up. This stupid and stupid person just satisfies the psychology of the public, and it is also Dai Tianyan's so-called "talisman" - people also say that they don't step on shit when they wear new shoes, who cares about a stupid and stupid person?
However, on the other hand, being stupid and stupid can make people lose their sense of trust. It's better to stay, but stupidity and stupidity directly affect the ability to work, and even make people worry about whether they will fall into debt.
If you are the boss, of course, it doesn't matter, but now that you are still on the way to find a job, it is naturally not good for the owner to have this concern.
What Xu Yuanzuo has to do now is to change "stupid" to "wooden tight", and "stupid" to "cautious and old". And the basis is physical: fat.
The so-called one white covers three ugliness, and one fat destroys all, which is a common principle in all dynasties.
Even in the Tang Dynasty, where "fat" was the beauty, people loved "plump" rather than "fat". Moreover, the mainstream aesthetics of China are still slender waists, which are the swallows in the palm of the palm and the hearts of Xizi...... When it comes to men, the muscles are the same, chic and handsome, fresh and elegant are the mainstream of scribes in the past.
Xu Yuanzuo traveled all over Zhuli and nearby temples, read a lot of picture albums, and drew a conclusion from them: all the heroes in history - up to Yue Fei Han Shizhong, down to Wu Song Lu Zhishen, regardless of how they look like in real life, all artistic images are big shoulders and round waists, with big bellies.
It's the same as the image of Hercules in later generations.
Xu Yuanzuo does not plan to take the route of fighting for hegemony, and he does not have the confidence to really train into a strong man, so he naturally will not choose this image.
What about the muscles that are all over the body?
That's even worse!
In the artistic image, the muscles are all imps.
It's the little ghosts that the big shoulders and round waists of the Vajra Protector are stepping on.
Besides, during the period of lack of protein intake and development, Xu Yuanzuo also lacked the conditions to train a body of muscles.
Then the best route is self-bodyweight exercise.
Use your body weight to exercise and build up your strength and explosiveness. From the outside, it does not look excessively fat and sluggish, but it can give people a feeling of refreshment and strength.
What is especially convenient is that self-weight exercise does not need any equipment at all in the early stage, and even if the strength is strong in the back, it only needs simple equipment such as parallel bars and rings that can be done by yourself.
Xu Yuanzuo also happened to be fascinated by this before he crossed, and invited a private trainer to take a few classes, and he came to Daming to develop before he saw the results. Now that I am practicing, when my identity goes up step by step, the body's endurance can become bigger and bigger.
If you want to be a successful person, you must first be able to withstand the tempering.
In order to withstand the tempering, the body and mind must be strong.
Xu Yuanzuo was sweating profusely, feeling the burning heat of his chest muscles, the soreness of his arms and shoulders, and counting in a wheezing breath: "Eighteen, nineteen, twenty ......"
"Brother? What are you doing? When Xu Liangzuo returned home, he was very curious about Xu Yuanzuo, who was exercising shirtless.
"Push-ups!" Xu Yuanzuo took a breath and said reluctantly.
Xu Liangzuo was even more curious, and tried two like his brother, and said quite boredly: "What's the use of this?" â
"Fitness ......" Xu Yuanzuo counted in a low voice: "Twenty-three, twenty-four...... Twenty-five! â
Goal achieved!
Xu Yuanzuo was out of strength, and the whole person was stuck on the wall.
Yes, Xu Yuanzuo can't do standard push-ups yet, so he can only start by bracing the wall.
