Chapter 20: The Grapevine
CHAPTER XX
"What's so strange about this, the people in the opera troupe have been practicing martial arts since childhood, practicing all kinds of basic skills, although it is a bit of a feeling of fist embroidery legs, but it is also connected with the word 'martial arts'."
Wow, this logic is amazing.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is some truth to meow.
Of course, Wang Zhi and his party were not alone, and there were those who were asked to enter through the back door like them.
Looking at the outfits of this group of people, it is a group of chefs......
Speaking of which, the governor is prejudiced against doctors, and Wang Zhi can understand a thing or two, after all, he has been pitted by quacks before, and a rat poop ruined a pot of porridge.
But discrimination against chefs and other professions is a true portrayal of those in high positions in the government.
As the saying goes, "those who steal the hook are punished, and those who steal the country are marquis", without our cures and cooks, these people who think they are superior can still live so nourishingly as they do now?
To tell the truth, the Daqian Dynasty lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people who are officials!
After silently learning Chinese for a while, Wang Zhi continued to follow the team.
There are some things that cannot be changed, whether it is another world or the former world, whether it is ancient or modern, social classes always exist, but they are divided according to different rules and ideas.
"Director Fu, do you know anything about this Governor Zhao, what is the condition of his family?" Wang Zhi asked in a low voice as he walked.
Among these people, Li Jianfeng only drinks and doesn't care about things, and Le Yao's personality is not the kind of person who cares about these, and it seems that only Fu seems to have some possibility of understanding the situation at that time.
"Governor Zhao and his wife have two daughters, and as for the other uncles and brothers, I don't know." Fu did not live up to Wang Zhi's expectations at that time and replied.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing, after all, I came to someone's house and was curious." Wang Zhi snorted and continued, "Then have you heard that any of his daughters have a chronic illness that can't be cultivated? ”
"I haven't heard of this", Fu touched the bright head at that time, muttered for a while, and said: "But I have heard some gossip from others, Governor Zhao has an illegitimate child outside, and it seems that his health is not very good, as for whether he can cultivate, it is not clear." Of course, it is also possible that this illegitimate child does not exist as a rumor, after all, Governor Zhao has never admitted it outside, and no one has ever seen his so-called illegitimate child. ”
Hearing this, Wang Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought about it.
The Governor's Palace covers a wide area, with large courtyards and small courtyards and small courtyards...... The assembly was set up in a large courtyard in the outer house, and the people of the "Hundred Lines" sat in a fan-shaped circle with a table of three, and in the middle was a small temporary platform.
And not far from them, small bridges and flowing water, verdant greenery, rockeries and strange stones stacked, and those representatives sent by the government sat in small pavilions according to their official positions.
However, at this time, there was still about half an hour before the time of the banquet, and the people of the "Hundred Lines" were already full, and those pavilions were still empty, except for a few young officials who arrived in advance.
The dishes on the table were not bad, but everyone was just waiting in the middle of the table, and no one dared to take the lead.
……
Near the opening of the banquet, more than a dozen officials representing the government arrived one after another, and most of the people who participated in this kind of boring gathering were the sons and daughters of the official eunuch families, who had no real talent and learning, and who got official positions by trusting their connections.
Governor Zhao is the highest-ranking official in the entire "Hundred Lines Assembly", so he naturally sits in the first place.
And since this place was in his house, his wife was also present, but she sat in a separate small room, with a beaded curtain hanging in front of her, and only a human figure could be faintly seen.
Wang Zhi looked at this governor carefully, and he looked like he was in his forties, very young. With a face like a crown of jade, a handsome temperament, and no official residence, he just wore a white robe casually, looking more like a Confucian general.
But in Wang Zhi's impression, this kind of person is much more dangerous than those rough and arrogant generals.
Of course, it may also be because I don't have a very good impression of him......
Before Lao Wang reminded himself that this meeting was a pool of muddy water, the deep meaning of which was naturally unlikely to be that the government was idle and had nothing to do with such people as himself.
Well, there is only one possibility......
The assembly of the hundred lines began to proceed in an orderly manner with the arrival of the governor to take his seat.
To be honest, Wang Zhi really didn't understand the significance of holding such a gathering that wasted financial resources and manpower, but looking at the expressions of the officials above, their eyebrows fluttered......
Well, it's interesting...... Anyway, it's not costing my family's money!
No, this special meow is our tax dollars!
Now there are several chefs on the stage competing in cooking, and the officials here are ordering food on it, and they are doing it on the spot.
There were a few woks on the stage, and those chefs waved the woks one by one, making a bunch of flashy show-offs, and staged a live-action version of "Little Master China".
For example, some stir-fried dishes can throw the vegetables in the pot up several meters high, and then the flames erupt from time to time, like a geyser.
There are also cucumbers that are thrown up, flashing in the air, evenly sliced into many thin slices, and then falling steadily on the plate.
Some industries are interesting, some industries are boring, singing and singing performances are easy to come by, those skilled craftsmen are also okay, show the latest inventions, and some inventions are seen by the second generation on the stage and can be rewarded with thousands of dollars.
As for the farmers, hawkers, and so on, it is embarrassing, most of them just brag about how powerful the performance of the current industry is under the guidance of the government, and praise the wisdom and martial arts of those in power.
Originally, the so-called theme of this rally was to promote exchanges among various industries on the one hand, and to show the prosperity of various industries on the other hand!
Soon, it will be their turn in the industry.
And so far, everything is calm, there is no abnormality, Wang Zhi is a little suspicious that Lao Wang is not accurate, it will not be a scare.
"Director Le, what are we going to do, go on stage to perform online to save people? Or do you want to help those people above look at their brains? "After seeing the excitement, when it was really his turn, Wang Zhi felt a pain in the egg......
"Just talk about a little medical experience, or you can be a representative!" Le Yao didn't seem to care much about this kind of thing, and said casually.
"Huh?" Wang Zhi was shocked, he didn't have the slightest preparation, and went straight up to be a talk show?
And Le Yao seemed to be exercising Wang Zhi's ability to resist pressure, so he couldn't help but refute: "Generally, this is done by newcomers, Li Tao is too introverted in front of strangers, only you can try it." By the way, after giving you the exercises the day before yesterday, you have made any progress in this area. ”
"Young man, I'm optimistic about you, come on!" Li Tao breathed a long sigh of relief, as if relieved, patted Wang Zhi's shoulder, and encouraged.
Forget it, let's go up, when the time comes, just talk about the theory of modern medicine, and fool it over.
