Little Flower Hall.

Lou Shide sat on a rattan chair made by Jinchangfang with his fat belly, and was leisurely looking at a bunch of plum blossoms outside the window.

The plum blossoms did not bloom, but some buds appeared on the branches.

In Chang'an City, even plum blossoms bloom later than Jiangnan.

A little girl with a double bun poked her head out of the door frame, looked vigilantly at Lou Shide, who seemed to be asleep, and then leaned down and quietly touched the edge of the table, on which there was a plate of yellow osmanthus cake, with a pleasant aroma.

Immediately afterwards, two small heads appeared near the door frame, and they nervously looked at their sister who was squatting on the ground and moving slowly, hoping that she would succeed.

Lou Shide didn't have the heart to look at any plum blossoms at this time, he only thought about how to get rid of Di Renjie's peathing ghost.

Regarding the fact that he can always meet Di Renjie by chance, Lou Shide is still very helpless.

He is a notorious Langzhong of Dali Temple, and it is not a good thing to always meet him, a small supervisor Yu Hou who has watched politics from the eight grades.

Everyone knows that Di Renjie is the lackey of the prince's men, so the biggest possibility that Di Renjie came to look for him was to pull him together to become the lackey of the prince's men.

Compared with being a lackey of the prince's door, Lou Shide wants to become a general, first, after the civilian job is converted to a military position, he can be quickly promoted, if he can find a difficult place to work hard for a few years, and then get a little credit, he can quickly cross the long period of civil service and reach the six-rank official, which is the watershed of this official position.

Officials above the sixth grade are about to become civil officials, Lou Shide feels that he has the ability to do a good job in martial arts, and after the martial arts become a hollow official position, he will be converted into a civilian position......

A small white hand poked out from under the table, and was groping around, the arm was too short to reach the snack plate, Lou Shide moved the snack plate to the edge of the table, ready to continue to think about how to get out of the current quagmire, and quickly get himself into the army to make a contribution.

There was a clang.

Lou Shide followed the sound and found that the plate containing the pastry smashed on the girl's head, the snack fell to the ground, and the girl also held her head and cried.

Lou Shide sighed, picked up his daughter and put it on his big belly, checked the child's head, and found that it was a little red, and then he held the child to pick up the osmanthus cakes scattered all over the place.

The two boys guarding the door were very righteous, and instead of running, they walked in with their heads drooping, ready to be reprimanded by the uncle.

Lou Shide did not punish the children, but blew the cakes he picked up and distributed them to the three children to eat.

An ancestor of the Lou family a long time ago once served as an official position such as a county guard of 2,000 quintals, so their family is a poor family.

Since it is a poor family, it is not very rich, but fortunately, the ancestors still left a small house for them in Chang'an, so that he has a place to live in Chang'an.

He was an official in Chang'an, and the two little points of his younger brother's family were sent to Chang'an, and he was raised under the care of his uncle.

I heard that the possibility of the child dying in Chang'an is very small, even if there is a vicious disease such as smallpox, he is not afraid, because the old fairy is in Chang'an, and all evils are easy to dispel.

The osmanthus cake was sent by Di Renjie's wife Wang, and his wife You likes to associate with Wang, and thinks that after interacting with Wang, he can hook up with the Yu family of the Lantian Hou family.

Seeing the sweetness of the three children eating with osmanthus cakes, Lou Shide smiled and touched the children's little brains, and decided to ignore Di Renjie.

I have talent, I want to be a high-ranking official, I can get it with my ability, there is no need to become a subordinate official of the prince early, and tie the life of my family to the crotch of the prince, which is really unstable.

Their Li family has a history of murdering the prince, and no matter how favored the prince is now, it is unstable.

Thinking that Li Chengqian, the son and grandson of Li Chengqian, was degraded and deposed one day, who can guarantee that the current crown prince Li Hong will not have such a day?

"It's not a good deal—" Lou Shide patted his big belly and said to himself.

After making up his mind, seeing that the three children had also finished eating the cakes, Lou Shide took out some used paper and asked the children to use a brush to scribble on these waste papers.

Lou Shide's wife You Shi walked in happily, and when she saw that the plate on the table was empty, she said to Lou Shide with some pride: "Husband, Mrs. Yu of Lantian Hou said that our ramie in Yuanwu County is a good thing, and said that Chang'an is very short of this thing, and I hope to buy a few workshops in Yuanwu County." ”

Lou Shide looked at his wife's excited face and said, "Mai, hemp rope, is Chang'an very lacking?" ”

You Shi saw that her husband was not very happy, so he hurriedly said: "What people value is not what is sackcloth, hemp rope, Mrs. Lantian Hou said, ramie leaves can be fed pigs, sheep, the original Wu County is not far from Luoyang, and when Luoyang becomes the eastern capital, there are many nobles in the city, and a lot of meat is needed."

When the time comes, let the second brother, the third brother they gather the villagers to plant ramie, and then raise pigs, sheep, concubines also heard that the Jinchangfang canteen will open a shop in Luoyang, at that time, we can sell the pigs and sheep to the Jinchangfang canteen, as long as the pigs and sheep are clean, the price of the canteen is high. ”

Lou Shide said with a smile: "Such a big scene is not something that our family can handle. ”

You Shi kicked the three children out like chickens, closed the door, sat on Lou Shide's lap, and blew hot air in his ear: "Mrs. Lantian Hou said that they are not short of money, but they lack a few people who can speak locally. ”

Lou Shide hugged his wife's round body, slapped her on the ass and said, "What do you think our family can say in Yuanwu County?" ”

You Shi buried his head in Lou Shide's neck and said with a smile: "What Mrs. Lantian Hou said that she can talk to the villagers and farmers, not to talk to the county order.

When the time comes, the second brother, the third brother and the three brothers of my mother's family will definitely be able to handle this matter properly. ”

Hearing You Shi's words, Lou Shide was taken aback, and hurriedly pushed his wife out of his arms and said, "You promised them?" ”

You Shi was treated roughly by her husband, so she said with some grievances: "What about a great good thing......

After Lou Shide's face changed a few times, he finally sighed and said, "If I enter the East Palace, I will serve." What do you think? ”

You Shi was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, put his pink face on Lou Shide's fat face and said, "This is a great blessing." ”

Lou Shide said: "If I am mediocre, this must be a great blessing, but unfortunately your husband has a good mind, which is not a good thing."

】

Madam, you don't understand the dangers in the court, your husband is now from the eighth rank of the government to supervise the Marquis Yu, because the official position is too small, all the turmoil in the court will not affect your husband and me.

Give me some time to make some contributions, and after I am promoted to the official position, even if I have some knowledge, I will have some self-preservation power at that time. Let's look at the wind direction selection.

Now, as long as I enter the East Palace, first of all, a lucky evaluation will not be able to escape, and in the future, our family will be tied to the death of the East Palace, once there is a change, we will definitely suffer from the disaster of the pond fish. ”

You Shi was puzzled and said, "That's the prince." ”

Lou Shide said with a smile: "Just because of the crown prince, once our family has a relationship with the East Palace, then it will directly face the power center of the Tang Dynasty."

Royal in-laws like the eldest grandson will not be able to escape the catastrophe, let alone our family, a small mistake will make our family die without a place to be buried. ”

You Shi said in a low voice: "Mrs. Lantian Hou also said that ramie root can be used in medicine, which has the effects of tonifying yin, stabilizing the fetus, treating prenatal and postpartum upset, and curing boils.

Hemp bones can be used to make paper, and a papermaking workshop can also be built in Yuanwu County......"

When Lou Shide heard his wife say this, he knew that he had no way to make his wife turn back.

He stood up, put on his clothes, and prepared to go out.

You Shi said with a little weakness: "Husband wants to go out?" ”

Lou Shide nodded and said: "Since Di Renjie has already said that he has moved you, then the Yuanwu County must have also received the news, the second brother, the third brother, and your mother's brothers must have no way to refuse."

Now that people have done things to this point, my husband really wants to ask Di Renjie, how can I be a master of Lou and how can I be willing to pay such a big price and recruit me. ”

You Shi happily dressed Lou Shide, touched her husband's fat face with her hand and said, "My husband is a masterpiece of his generation, why is it not worthy of them to spend so much effort to win him over?" ”

Di Renjie heard that Lou Shide was visiting in the Dali Temple Mansion, so he hurriedly went out to greet him, and as soon as he saw Lou Shide, he grabbed the fat hand of the family and said attentively: "Come in quickly, drink cans of tea." ”

Lou Shide looked at Di Renjie, who was also round, and said, "Brother Di, you are now in such a high position as Sicheng, why do you have to spend so much effort to recruit a small official like me?" ”

Di Renjie pulled Lou Shide into the public office, and said with a smile: "With such a talent as Brother Lou, now he only needs to spend a little money to have it, and in time, my brother will have the ambition to reach the sky, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, it is not under my brother's eyes." ”

Lou Shide took the teacup handed over by Di Renjie and held it in his hand and said: "Brother Di thinks highly of Lou Shide, isn't he afraid that Lou Shide will be stupid and stupid?" ”

Di Renjie said with a smile: "There are people who have more confidence than Brother Lou himself. ”

Lou Shide said: "I don't know if it's that sage? ”

Di Renjie pouted and said, "It's a martial artist." ”

Lou Shide saw that Di Renjie refused to say it clearly, so he smiled and said: "The golden horse bone is just like this, since there is a great sage who thinks that Lou is worthy of use, then, Lou is naturally obedient." ”

"Ah, Brother Lou didn't obey before, why is he willing to come now? Di thought that a little money was not enough for Brother Lou to deserve. ”

Lou Shide looked at Di Renjie and said: "If you don't accept it, it will bring disaster." ”

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "We are not despicable villains! ”

Lou Shide laughed and said: "Yesterday's saint, today's thief is just a thought, since Lou Shide has enjoyed the gizzard meat, he must be ready to be used as gizzard meat."

However, it's okay to enter the East Palace, Lou Shide is a small official, but he can't treat me as a small official. ”
