Chapter 52: The easy-going Ji Pingzi
On this day, it was a gloomy day, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Fang Jishi sat in the carriage and came over on time according to the agreed hour.
The gate of the Ji family was already surrounded by people watching the excitement and the Luobo Shi clan who came to eat and drink for nothing.
In Ji's mansion, the fragrance of fish wafted out, and the children in tattered clothes on the street smelled the fragrance and drooled one by one. There were a few crying children, lying in their mother's arms, looking pitifully at the gate of Ji's mansion.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
Then! A group of people walked out of the side gate of the Ji Mansion and shouted at the onlookers who stopped in front of them. After clearing out a piece of land, a few more long tables were moved out of the yard. Then! Others brought steaming barrels and baskets. In the basket, there are many bowls and chopsticks.
Under the maintenance of the Ji Mansion's guards, the poor people who were watching all flocked to that side and consciously lined up. The children who had been crying before stopped crying and were waiting enthusiastically.
"Don't cry! I won't give you food if I cry. "A mother scares the baby in her arms. When the child heard the scare, he stopped crying on the spot.
A mother next to her whispered to her son, "When you see the person giving food, don't cry or laugh, just pretend to be pitiful." ”
"Mother! Woooooo The son next to him whispered.
As the almsgiving over there began, the people blocking the door of Jifu dispersed and went to line up to wait for almsgiving.
Fang Jishi got out of the carriage and walked to the gate of Ji's mansion.
The guards drove the carriage over and turned around. They could only enter the Ji Mansion through the other gate of the Ji Mansion, and then enjoy the treatment of the entourage.
At the gate of Ji Mansion, Ji Pingzi, Yang Hu and others were already waiting there. Many of the people who were invited to come stood there, and everyone was polite to each other.
At this time, a virtual screen appeared in Fang Keystone's brain, and a prompt popped up on the screen: You have met the upgrade standard, do you want to upgrade now?
Fang Jishi didn't think about it, and pressed the upgrade confirmation button.
In just a few seconds, the system was successfully upgraded. The system will prompt again: Do you want to turn on the live streaming mode?
Fang Jishi didn't think about it, and pressed the confirm button.
With such a good opportunity today, can you not do a live webcast?
Since the last webcast at the young Confucius's house, he has not broadcast live. The mobile phone Baidu has been opened a few times, but I didn't go to the live broadcast room to check it.
After turning on the webcast mode, the system popped up again, asking him to familiarize himself with the new system. But it was too late in time, Ji Pingzi and others saw him coming, and one by one they got down from the platform at the gate of Ji's mansion and greeted him, the "great god".
"Great God! Hehehe......" Ji Pingzi arched his hand towards Fang Jishi from a distance, and smiled hehehe. When he got closer, he bowed solemnly again.
The other people who followed Ji Pingzi, both knew and didn't, all saluted towards Fang Jishi. As if they saw Lu Zhaogong coming, they were all vying for the first salute.
Fang Jishi naturally smiled and returned the favor to everyone.
"Please!" Ji Pingzi made another gesture, motioning for Fang Jishi to enter the mansion to speak. Then he beckoned to the people who had followed, "Please."
At the invitation of Ji Pingzi, Fang Jishi walked in front, Ji Pingzi followed on one side, and the others followed behind.
When he arrived at the platform at the gate of Jifu, Fang Jishi stood still and did not go any further. Because! Ji Pingzi also had to stand at the door to receive other distinguished guests. He is only one of the distinguished guests, and there are more important distinguished guests than him.
Fang Jishi knew in his heart that people were afraid of you so they were kind to you, not sincerely. To be a human being, you must be self-aware and be able to see the true face of others.
At this moment, the "squeak" of the carriage and the "click" of the horse's hooves were heard in front of the door.
Everyone turned around and looked over in amusement.
Ji Pingzi didn't go down the steps when he saw that it was not a big person, but stood in place, looking at the person who came, smiling.
That's it! When Fang Jishi came, he went down the steps to greet him, and he almost didn't bow down. When the others come, it depends on who they are. When ordinary people came, they just greeted them with a smile. When the important people he thought were coming, he no longer stood at the door as a "greeting", and that was it.
Today! Seriously, it was for the sake of Fang Jishi's face that he stood at the door as a greeting. Usual! It is rare to come to the door to greet you. Only when the time is right, do you come out for a while, and after welcoming the distinguished guests you want to greet them, you will never come out again.
Yang Hu saw that it didn't matter who came, so he hurriedly beckoned Fang Jishi and the others to enter the courtyard and go to the banquet hall. It is inappropriate for so many people to block the door. As a retainer of the Ji family, Yang Hu is still proficient in this aspect of human affairs.
"Please! Please! Please! Yang Hu bent down, like a shopkeeper, and greeted Fang Jishi and the others. And then! Take Fang Jishi's hand and go inside.
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and Fang Jishi had to follow Yang Hu into the Ji Mansion.
That's good! As long as Yanghu is no longer at the door and Ji Pingzi is there, it is possible that the young Confucius will not be turned away.
The guards who followed were all stopped. The passage on this side of the main gate was first passed by people of their level from Fang Jishi, and everyone else had to wait until they left before they could enter the Ji Mansion. Or! Enter through the side door. For example, the carriage and everywhere are entered through another door. As the entourage of the master, they all have food to eat when they come over, and the host's family is the same, but they are not in the same place.
After Fang Jishi and the others entered the Ji Mansion, the number of people at the gate of the Ji Mansion was much smaller. There weren't many people other than the food kitchen.
On the side of the almsgiving, there was a long line of poor people, waiting for almsgiving.
Because this alms are given every year, so! There are a lot of people, and there are special venues to arrange these people.
It is useful to arrange these people who came to beg for food on the side of the gate of Ji Mansion. It's not that I'm losing face in Jifu, on the contrary! It shows the benevolence of Ji Fu.
In fact! Plainly! It's for the guests who come to eat.
If in normal times, there are so many "Hanako" blocking the door, and the guards don't have to whip you, would it be strange?
At this time, a tall and thin boy appeared in the square in front of the Ji Mansion.
When the tall and thin young man saw Ji Pingzi turn around to leave, his pace quickened and he rushed up.
"Doctor Ji! Please stay! Kong Qiu meets Dr. Ji! ”
This tall and thin boy was none other than the young Confucius.
When the young Confucius saw that Ji Pingzi was about to enter the mansion, he quickly stepped forward and greeted.
When Ji Pingzi heard someone call him, he stopped suspiciously. I thought: Who's coming? Didn't come in a carriage, didn't hear the sound of a carriage?
How many people don't come in a carriage on such occasions?
Riding in a carriage is a symbol of identity and face, just like people in modern society driving private cars, it is also a kind of face, and they don't care if the road is far or not?
Seeing that it was a teenager who had not yet tied his hair and crowned it, Ji Pingzi took a look. Take a closer look, why does this person look so much like the retainer Yang Hu?
"Hehehe! Please! Ji Pingzi nodded, made a word of invitation, and greeted.
The young Confucius gave a formal salute, and then! With Ji Pingzi entering the Ji Mansion.
