Chapter 411: Ji Pingzi sees the wind and rudders
On this day, Fang Jishi came over early.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to thank those who gave him gifts.
When others give him gifts, he never returns the gifts, so I will accept them all as much as you give.
Not greedy for money! For the person who gave the gift, you accepted the gift, and they felt that they were reassured, and they felt that they had succeeded in settling with you or that you had agreed to him. If you refuse, or if you return the gift as it is, people will have a problem with you and think that you may be against him.
Even! Hate you for it!
Just like corrupt officials in modern society, the more bribes they take, the more they can get mixed up and climb higher.
And those honest officials, they don't accept gifts, and they find a way to return them after receiving them. Outcome! Offended those with ulterior motives. At last! The career is not smooth.
There are villains behind the scenes, saying that you will not be flexible, and if you don't open the door to others, your career will definitely not go well.
"Oh! Ok, good, good! ”
"Oh! Please, please, please! ”
"Oh! Long time no see! ”
"You're in good health! Hehehe......"
“……”
Fang Jishi is anti-guest-oriented, and he is more master than Ji Pingzi.
Ji Pingzi didn't want to stand at the gate to pick up guests, but Fang Jishi didn't want to go inside to drink tea, so he had to stand aside.
If in previous years, he would have sat at home and not moved, and only when heavyweights came, he would only come out. Ordinary little people or taxis who come to eat, he is too lazy to take care of them.
"Please! Please! Please! Ji Pingzi saw someone coming over and had to deal with it.
As in previous years, on the side of the gate of Ji Pingzi's house, the "food sharing" activity is in full swing. At this time of year, the Ji family holds such an event, making delicious food and distributing it to the poor people in the neighborhood who come to beg for food.
In order to beg for a meal, the poor came early and stood in the designated position to line up.
In the middle of the morning, Confucius came over in the carriage of the concubine chamber of Fang Jishi.
The two concubines sent their sons to school in the morning, and they rode in this carriage.
Confucius did not have a carriage at home, and he was not yet a "family with a car". Just like in modern society, there are no private cars. I can't afford it, and I can't afford it.
When Fang Jishi saw Confucius coming, he quickly walked down the platform by the eaves and greeted him.
When Confucius got out of the carriage, the coachman quickly turned the carriage around and drove away.
On the square in front of Ji Pingzi, parking is not allowed. All the wagons that came, after sending people, had to go. After parking in the designated parking lot, the driver and other small people can only enter and exit through another side door.
"Meet the Great God!" Confucius bowed down towards the cornerstone.
"Meet Confucius!" Fang Jishi hurriedly returned the salute.
In fact! The relationship between the two doesn't care about any of that. But today is at the door of Ji Pingzi's house, and it is Ji Pingzi who is feasting. There are so many people that you have to go through the motions, do superficial things, and engage in formalities.
"Please!" After the meeting etiquette was over, Fang Jishi stretched out his hand and signaled.
Then! Ji Pingzi also walked down the steps and came up to Confucius.
This is a rare thing, and he is rarely seen even standing at the door.
"Meet Dr. Ji!" Confucius hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Confucius is exempt! Excuse me! Ji Pingzi returned the courtesy.
And then! He stepped forward and pulled Confucius's sleeve, looked at it with some reproach in his eyes, and asked, "You haven't come to me for a long time!" You? I'm too busy to have time to find you. But you? Why don't you come to see me? The etiquette you rehearsed for me that year won the praise of the monarchs and ministers of the Qi Kingdom! Say that I have talents in Lu country! You! I remember you! ”
"Where!" Confucius looked panicked and said: "That's Doctor Ji's guidance, relying on me Kong Qiu alone, who wants to listen?" Isn't it? Dr. Ji stopped there, and I asked them to rehearse whatever they wanted. So! It's still Dr. Ji's credit. ”
"You're not the Kongqiu of the past! You are Confucius! I've heard! The entire Lu people call you Confucius! You are a 'son'! Child! Hahaha......"
"Prizes! Overpraise! Confucius looked panicked again.
In front of Ji Pingzi, you don't dare to be too arrogant, it will be bad for you. The current Ji Pingzi is not "under one person, above ten thousand" at all, but! and Lu Gong and others "four powers in the world". And among these four, their Ji family is the most powerful.
This is also for the sake of the face of the great god Fang Cornerstone, if it weren't for Fang Cornerstone's presence on the scene, he wouldn't necessarily pay attention to you!
"Confucius! Hehehe! ”
"Confucius! Ahem, ahem! ”
"Confucius! Hey, hey, hey! ”
There were quite a few people who knew Confucius, all with a look of joking and mockery, and came forward to say hello.
Confucius should have not seen the expressions and hearts of others, and bowed his hands one by one.
Accompanied by the great god Fang Jishi and Ji Pingzi, Confucius entered the Ji Mansion.
Just now! Yang Hu stood on the side of the gate, and when he saw Confucius becoming Confucius, he was so angry in his heart!
At this time, he is not a fart in front of the officials of Lu Guozhong and in front of Ji Pingzi. His status is low, so! did not come forward to greet Confucius and others.
On such occasions, he counts as a retainer!
Fang Jishi was the same, seeing Yang Hu standing aside, he was too lazy to pay attention. When Yang Hu saw that there were no outsiders, he came over to say hello.
After Confucius and others entered the Ji Mansion, there were no big people on the eaves at the gate of the Ji Mansion. The guards of the Ji Mansion held Changge in their hands and stood on both sides of the gate. When he saw that the poor man begging for food had gone to the wrong door, he stepped forward and shouted, "Get out!" ”
With the first experience, this time! Fang Jishi was no longer separated from Confucius. Since entering the Ji Mansion, he has always been with Confucius by his side.
Ji Pingzi wanted to talk to him alone, and the set was almost. Moreover! also prepared a piece of high-grade jade and gave it to him in person. But Fang Jishi was only interested in introducing connections to Confucius, and he ignored him at all, so he had to forget it.
He is a person who sees the wind and steers the rudder, and when he sees the cornerstone of the great god Fang like this, he understands when he thinks of how Yang Hu treated the great god and Confucius like that.
"Confucius!" Fang Jishi introduced to the guests who came first.
"Confucius! Fortunately! Fortunately! When they saw this, they all stood up and bowed their hands to this side.
Confucius gave salutes one by one as a token of gratitude.
The feasters of the Ji Mansion are like this every year: they are divided into two places, and they are divided into two levels.
No! In fact, there are three levels.
The most basic rank is the taxi that actually comes to the feast, and these people are in the hall of the ordinary feaster. If there are too many people, some people can only line up in the open space in the courtyard.
The second level is the invited VIPs. For example! Such a distinguished guest as Fang Cornerstone. These people are not here to participate in the feast, but to observe. It was to witness the feasting scene of Ji Pingzi's family, and to make Dr. Ji Pingzi famous in the future.
There are not many people at this level, and they are all dignitaries. They don't eat ordinary seats, but special seats. Because! None of them lacked food.
Most of those who came to join the feast were poor people without official positions and those who were about to become ordinary people.
The third level is to call a few people with good relationships from among these invited dignitaries and dignitaries to get together with Ji Pingzi alone. The person who can be invited by Ji Pingzi alone is the real character.
Today! Ji Pingzi was going to invite Fang Jishi alone, but there was an extra Confucius. So! Ji Pingzi changed his mind. After Fang Jishi took Confucius to get to know those dignitaries, he invited the two to the back hall for tea.
There was no way, so I piggybacked on Confucius.
"Confucius! He? Did he accept Dr. Ji's one-on-one invitation? ”
As soon as Confucius was asked to leave, the "second-level" hall exploded.
Regardless of whether it is stained with the light of the cornerstone of the Great God Fang, anyway! It is a great honor to be received by Ji Pingzi alone.
