Chapter 167: This is officialdom
Li Yao followed Cheng Boxian forward, his expression looked a little wooden, not that he was embarrassed to go up, anyway, in the twenty-first century, he was used to hanging silk, and his face had already thickened, even if he encountered such a big scene, he should say it or say, he should laugh or laugh.
It's just that the officials who were standing in a bunch of chats with Di Renjie didn't know any of Li Yao, and at least Li Yao was dumbfounded, as soon as he and Cheng Boxian stepped forward, they all stopped their mouths in unison, and turned their eyes to Li Yao together, and suddenly, all kinds of eyes rushed towards Li Yao, and Li Yao was quite caught off guard.
Seeing this, Di Renjie immediately introduced to them: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Feng Xiaobao, the new guard captain of the Qianjin Princess Mansion who defeated Qin Yu two days ago, and he can be regarded as a friend of the old man, Xiaobao! ”
"Oh...... Yes, hello adults, the villain greets all adults. Di Renjie's words fell, Li Yao hurriedly stepped forward, clenched his fists and greeted the adults who were looking at him sideways.
These officials naturally disdained such a small captain of the guard as Li Yao, but because of Di Renjie's face, they couldn't ignore Li Yao, so they had to stand there and salute Li Yao one after another, but the disdain and indifference on their faces still existed like that.
Li Yao stood there, like a fool, and his heart was very unhappy.
Cheng Boxian, who was standing on the side, reached out and patted Li Yao's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Don't care, just behave, these people are all dog-eyed and low-looking, and Lao Tzu has long been used to it." ”
"Hehe, brother, you can really see it. Li Yao sneered.
"That's right, Lao Tzu is a martial artist, they don't look down on me, I don't look down on them!" Cheng Boxian pulled his face and said quietly in Li Yao's ear.
From the beginning, when he and Li Yao came together, none of these adults looked at the two of them, Li Yao saw it very clearly, not only did they look down on themselves, but they didn't even pay attention to Cheng Boxian's cavalry battalion, or how to say it, what about the current decline of the Cheng family?
And Cheng Bo is okay with martial arts, you have to let him get the text, he really doesn't understand bullshit.
Li Yao and Cheng Boxian muttered, just like that, they stood beside Di Renjie and were silent, those adults, after returning the salute with the two, they just ignored the two of them anymore, and turned their heads to chat with Di Renjie, Li Yao didn't care about it, anyway, he followed Princess Qianjin to attend the birthday banquet of Chaoyang Palace tonight, in order not to worry about these so-called adults, he naturally would not take this matter seriously.
As Cheng Boxian said, they don't look down on me, and I don't look down on them.
With this in mind, Li Yao also stood there and chatted with Cheng Boxian, but to Li Yao's surprise, he and Cheng Boxian stood there and chatted for a while, and at the other end of the hall, the figure of Lou Shide's old man walked towards the three of them.
As soon as he stepped forward, Lou Shide said behind Di Renjie: "I heard that you took someone to Dongjie two days ago and checked the Drunken Red Mansion, did you find anything?"
"Yo, Lou Lao, the lower officials didn't see Lou Lao coming, and they failed to salute Lou Lao in time, so please ask Lou Lao Haihan!"
"Yes, we only cared about chatting with Master Di, but we ignored Old Lou, it really shouldn't be!"
"Old Lou has been in good health lately?"
......
As soon as Lou Shide finished speaking, he didn't wait for Di Renjie to answer! The adults standing in front of him had their eyes shining, and they hurriedly spoke first and greeted Lou Shide.
Di Renjie had a grudge against the old man Lou Shide before, so he ignored Lou Shide in a daze, but the officials in front of him were very enthusiastic about Lou Shide, which did not let the old man Lou Shide be cold, otherwise he would have no face!
The so-called officialdom, isn't that what it is?
If you are a small character like Li Yao, they are not even willing to say a word of nonsense with Li Yao, so the arrival of Li Yao and Lou Shide is to analyze the forces in this officialdom clearly, Li Yao stood aside, and looked a little impatient, thinking that he was really not suitable to be an official in his life.
What he is most unaccustomed to is this kind of thing in officialdom.
And Lou Shide, he saw that the adults were very polite to him, this old bastard who has always loved face, he was also happy to talk to them, and returned the salute with them one by one, and after returning the salute, Lou Shide saw that Di Renjie had no intention of talking to him, so he set his eyes on Li Yao and Cheng Boxian who were standing next to Di Renjie, and finally stopped his eyes on Li Yao.
Li Yao is also very knowledgeable.
As soon as Lou Shide saw him, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said to Lou Shide: "I haven't seen you for many days, Brother Lou, don't come to harm!"
"Bold, you are a little guard, you actually call Lou Lao an elder brother, don't you also weigh how many catties and taels you have, and dare to call Lou Lao like this?" As soon as Li Yao's voice fell, an adult standing next to Di Renjie with a full mouth of beard and looking extremely short-lived suddenly glared at Li Yao and shouted.
Li Yao directly yelled at him and was stunned, just now Di Renjie also introduced this adult to Li Yao, he is the current Tang Dynasty Rite Department Zhongshu Zhao De, the official residence of the four grades, it can be regarded as a few catties and two, at this time, Zhao De obviously wants to hug Lou Shide's thigh, otherwise, he would not have scolded Li Yao like this, and he would have offered this courtesy in front of Lou Shide.
Li Yao understood this, he sighed at the fame and fortune disputes in the officialdom, and said to Zhao De with a wry smile: "Lord Zhongshu, do you think that the villain just called Lou Lao wrong?"
"Nonsense, what kind of character is Lou Lao, you are a little princess palace guard, you dare to call Lou Lao like this, you are not afraid of people laughing at you, you are really looking at your face and sticking gold on it. Zhao De didn't even think about it, he just glared at Li Yao viciously.
It's as if what Li Yao said just now was to offend his eighth-generation ancestors, Lou Shide didn't say anything, and he was the first to get excited, Li Yao wondered if Zhao De had eaten too much tofu before he came, and had eaten his brain into tofu brains? Otherwise, how could he talk like this? Don't look at what the occasion is.
Di Renjie knew that this Zhao De and Lord Zhao had to hold back now, so he didn't plan to pay attention to it, but quietly stepped aside, watching silently, with a mocking smile on his face, Lou Shide looked at Li Yao funny, he wanted to see how Li Yao would deal with the current situation, Lou Shide knew that Li Yao was talented, and he would definitely set foot in officialdom in the future, and now if Li Yao can handle this matter well, it will prove that he has the ability to climb in the officialdom in the future, otherwise, Lou Shide will have to persuade Li Yao to leave the officialdom in the future。
It can also be said that Lou Shide regarded this sudden incident as a test for Li Yao, and the purpose was to know that Li Yaoshi was not suitable for mixing in the officialdom.
Li Yao didn't care about Lou Shide and Di Renjie, each of them had any expressions, just quietly looked at Zhao De and fell silent, Zhao De had just humiliated him like this, if it was outside, Li Yao didn't say a word, he definitely raised his leg and kicked his bird directly, so that he didn't have pain for three days, and he couldn't have sex for half a month.
But the crux of the problem is that this is Chaoyang Palace, the occasion is different, Li Yao knows that he can't be impulsive, otherwise he will definitely bring big trouble to Princess Qianjin.
After weighing these problems in his heart, Li Yao calmed down and said to Zhao De with a smile: "Lord Zhongshu, I don't say that, the villain knows that his identity is shallow, and he doesn't dare to call Lou Lao in vain, but the villain and Lou Lao are a bit of a drunken friend, in this way, I call Lou Lao brother, and it is not a matter of sticking gold on it." ”
"Is it you?" Zhao De was stunned on the spot when he heard Li Yao's words, and stared at Li Yao dumbfounded.
The other adults standing next to him also looked at Li Yao with curious eyes, and they were surprised for a while, they never believed that Lou Shide would also have a drink with a little captain of the guard in Princess Qianjin's mansion, this matter is really a little funny.
Don't look at how old Lou Shide is, and how old is Li Yao?
Li Yaole lifted the corners of his mouth and said to Zhao De: "If Lord Zhongshu doesn't believe it, you can ask Brother Lou! You should believe what he said." ”
"Yes, Lord Zhao, what Junior Brother Feng said is right, the old man did have a drink with him before, if you really want to talk about it, Master Di has to call him Brother Feng. Lou Shide opened his mouth at the right time, took Li Yao's words, and explained to Zhao De and others.
Li Yao and him are the friendship of friends who order wine, then his generation is older than Di Renjie, Di Renjie calls him Brother Feng, that is not an exaggeration, who made Di Renjie his protégé, and he has to call him a teacher?
Zhao De and the others couldn't believe their ears, and they all stayed there dumbfounded.
But now, Lou Shide has said this, do they still dare not believe it? No, after staying for a few seconds, Zhao De, a villain who is in favor of yin and yin, came back to his senses in an instant, and his attitude suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand to Li Yao, and shouted with a smile: "Ouch! Brother Feng, you see that the official really didn't know Mount Tai just now, but he didn't know that you and Lou Lao still had such a year-old friend, it was really the official's fault, the official hereby apologized to Brother Feng, and asked Brother Feng to forget what you said just now, just assume that the official didn't say it......!
"Uh...... Well said, well said. Li Yao's forehead was silent, and he still gave Zhao De a fist salute in the face, and said two good words.
However, don't look at Li Yao's tone of voice at this time, he hates this Zhao De in his heart, but now, when Zhao De's villain face appeared in front of him, Li Yao really wanted to raise his hand and punch him fatly, and he was looking for teeth all over the ground, so that he could follow Li Yao's wishes.
But the reality is that in this court and hall, he didn't dare to make a move, and Li Yao had to forcibly suppress the disgust in his heart, forced a smile, and laughed at Zhao De, so he threw aside the humiliation that Zhao De had just given him.
Lou Shide stood aside, nodded again and again, and said in his heart, this kid is good, and his temper is quite calm, I hope he can understand in the future, this is officialdom!
