026 Persuasion
Because the Hundred Flowers Festival is about to start in the afternoon, the helm of the beggar gang is extremely lively today. The whole huge manor was filled with laughter and laughter, and the voices of people were boiling. The only thing that is still quiet is probably the cross-courtyard where Zhao Ji lives alone. Perhaps because they had been instructed earlier, the beggar disciples deliberately avoided this courtyard, and no one came to disturb Zhao Ji's tranquility. However, there were also some disciples who were curious about what the distinguished guests from Bianliang were like, and they stood on tiptoe outside the door, but they would be reprimanded and driven away before long.
The beggars outside helped everyone to socialize, and Zhao Ji didn't go to join in the excitement, just stayed in the courtyard, and by the way, he thought about how to beware of Mrs. Nama from confusing the beggar gang.
Not long after, Quan Guanqing came over, he was afraid that Zhao Ji would be bored here, so after hastily greeting a few elders, he turned here. Because I heard Qiao Feng mention in front of all the elders just now that he wanted to promote himself to Elder Nine Bags, and the elders, including Ma Dayuan, who Quan Guanqing was most worried about, did not object, Quan Guanqing was in a pretty good mood. Although he already has a more ambitious future in front of him, he has been exposed to the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and Quan Guanqing understands that he can become the elder of the first gang of beggars at such an age, which is really rare, and he finally has an explanation for the efforts of the first half of his life. So, he's still in a pretty good mood.
After Quan Guanqing came over, several other elders of the beggar gang also came to visit and officially invited Zhao Ji to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet later. Although this is all due to the meaning, the necessary etiquette must be maintained. In addition to these incumbent elders, some other elders who had already washed their hands and quit the rivers and lakes also came to visit Zhao Ji. Because these people are no longer messing around in the rivers and lakes, and at the same time they have bought a lot of family businesses in the local area, they understand the importance of official connections, and after learning that Zhao Ji is a noble person from Bianliang, their attitude can't help but be enthusiastic. And first climbed up the friendship, when the guarantee is not even, there will be a request for others.
When Ma Dayuan came over, Zhao Ji solemnly thanked him for sending Tang Zhihui. Regardless of whether Ma Dayuan knows that his wife is coming, he must tell Ma Dayuan about this matter. After Ma Dayuan heard about this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he seemed to be a little disapprehensive to Duan Wang Ye when he heard his wife's voice last night, but he didn't expect to come to visit in person today. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, and secretly said that although his wife had some short-sighted knowledge of women's families, she still knew the general situation, and knew that Duan Wang Ye was a guest of honor in the beggar gang, and apologized to Duan Wang Ye for himself. If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? Thinking like this, Ma Dayuanyi felt that he had married a rare good wife in the world.
In the afternoon, the long-prepared Hundred Flowers Festival finally began. Although the beggars are full of beggars, they attach great importance to this Hundred Flowers Meeting, probably in their opinion, this banquet is not as simple as eating and drinking, but has more solemn significance. The whole manor is beautifully decorated with blooming flowers, and there are skillful craftsmen who use colorful silk to tie into lanterns and be lifted high, and the sunset that is gradually setting in the west is beautiful.
Qiao Feng asked Zhao Ji to go to the front hall to attend the banquet with a smile on his face, Zhao Ji saw this rich festive atmosphere along the way, and his mood of being corrupted by Mrs. Nama gradually improved. Seeing that the disciples of the beggar gang were all filled with cheerful smiles on their faces, Zhao Ji smiled at Qiao Feng and said, "The beggar gang is thriving under Brother Qiao's care, Brother Qiao, you should be very pleased." β
After hearing this, Qiao Feng sighed and said: "I have to be valued by my teacher, and I will pass on the burden of the beggar gang, and I tremble every day, lest I live up to the high expectations of my teacher and his old man." Don't tell you Zhao Gongzi, sometimes I feel that this burden is too heavy, and occasionally I am so tired that I just want to rest everything, and then ignore all these disturbances. It's just that since this burden is on his shoulders, he can only do his best. Now that the beggar gang is thriving, it is thanks to the legacy of the sages and the concerted efforts of the brothers in the gang, but I dare not take credit. β
Zhao Ji has always felt that Qiao Feng is a hero who stands up to the sky and never tires, and he has seen him energetic since he got acquainted, but now it is the first time to see his tired and weak side. Although it was only put away, it made Zhao Ji realize that Qiao Feng was also a flesh and blood body, and he would also feel tired. From early spring to the present, except for the month in the palace, Qiao Feng has been running around most of the time, and there is hardly a time to stop. With such hard work, Qiao Feng can probably support it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but think that if the beggar gang declines in the future, it may not be that there will be no relationship that cannot be inherited. Like the most snow-white and clean Hong gang leader in the history of the beggar gang, although his reputation is not small, compared with Qiao Feng, he can only be regarded as a corpse vegetarian meal, and he will not do business.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Ji said again: "Brother Qiao should remember the teachings of respecting the teacher, and he must bow down in person, which is good, but sometimes he has to choose a certain degree, and one relaxation can last for a long time." That Zhuge Wuhou is a great talent in the world, but he has to ask questions about everything, and in the end, he is tired and dead. So, in my opinion, Brother Qiao, you don't have to be so tired. It is necessary to know that within five steps, there must be talents, and some things are better handed over to the appropriate talents. β
"For example, Quan Guanqing and Quan Rudder are mainly in charge of Bianliang Tangkou, showing their talents and learning, even if Brother Qiao is personally in command, I am afraid that the results will not be much better. β
After Qiao Feng heard this, his face froze, and he fell into deep thought. After a long time, he suddenly sighed and said: "Zhao Gongzi, your words of persuasion make me feel like a spring thunder! Since I succeeded as the helper, I only feel that I can live up to the trust of my teacher by handling all the affairs by myself, but I forget that my own skills are really limited, and I may not be better than others in doing things. If I personally run this hall in Bianliang, not to mention that it is better than the whole helmsman, it is even difficult to achieve this result now. Sure enough, I have a specialization in the art industry, and now that I think about it, I used to be too persistent, and many things were obviously more suitable for other brothers to do, but I grabbed it myself, but I couldn't do it well......"
As he spoke, Qiao Feng looked self-blaming and annoyed, obviously regretting his previous obsession.
Zhao Ji just wanted to advise Qiao Feng to delegate power appropriately, but he didn't want to cause him to blame himself deeply, so he persuaded again: "Brother Qiao, you don't have to be too yourself, your contributions to the beggars over the years are obvious to all, and it is difficult to find fault with any of them." However, we should also stop and think about it from time to time, if we only learn from the details every day, and the grasp of the overall situation is not clear, in this way, it will do more harm than good. β
Qiao Feng said with deep sympathy: "Zhao Gongzi, you bystander Qing, one sentence has solved the problem that has plagued me for many years. Over the years, I can't say that I haven't done my best, but the trivial things in the gang are still endless. It turned out that it was because I only did some small things, but I lost control of the overall situation, and I am ashamed to be complacent when I do stupid things that are at the expense of everything!"
"So, Brother Qiao, you have to try to relax yourself, and boldly hand over some occasional small disputes to the people below to deal with. On the one hand, he can take time out to control the overall situation, and on the other hand, he can also dig out more available talents for the beggars. One person counts the short, two people count the long, and work together, the beggars will naturally prosper. β
Zhao Ji saw that Qiao Feng was listening attentively, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart. He went around in such a big circle, and he still hoped to be able to put Qiao Feng in the beggar gang on some kind of Cheng dΓΉ, so as to avoid the beggar gang from suffering too much because of Qiao Feng in the future. Although the means are a little less bright, this is not a good thing for Qiao Feng and the beggar gang. A gentleman can be bullied, if Quan Guanqing is the leader of this beggar gang, when he hears these words, the first thing he must think of must be the authority in his own hands. However, Qiao Feng really had no doubts about Zhao Ji's trust, and only said that he did think about himself wholeheartedly.
While feeling faintly guilty in his heart, Zhao Ji was also determined not to let Qiao Feng repeat the mistakes of the past, no matter what means he used, he must let this friend who trusted him have a peaceful and peaceful rest of his life!
Qiao Feng digested Zhao Ji's persuasion all the way, and the two of them had unknowingly arrived at the front hall of the banquet.
Before Zhao Ji walked into the hall, he felt a lively atmosphere rushing to his face, standing at the door and looking, he saw a huge hall, densely packed with beggar disciples. The upper elders lived alone, while the disciples below were completely unsophisticated, sitting on the ground on top of each other, and they couldn't help but stagger, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
When Zhao Ji and Qiao Feng walked to the door, the noise in the hall gradually subsided, and everyone got up and said, "Helper, Zhao Gongzi ......"
Qiao Feng was still groaning, and he didn't react eagerly, just simply arched his hand, and led Zhao Ji to the upper seat. In the past few sessions of the Hundred Flowers Meeting, Qiao Feng was more willing to mix with the disciples in the hall but would not sit on it, but this time because he wanted to accompany Zhao Ji, he also sat down in the hall.
The main item of the banquet is naturally eating and drinking, and other more important things will not be dealt with until the atmosphere is more enthusiastic. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Ji sat down, several beggars helped the elders to pick up the wine bowl and invite wine. Although yesterday's wine had just dissipated, it was not good to snub the face of these elders at the moment, so he also raised his glass in response.
When the hot drink was being drunk, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from outside the door: "The ladies are here to toast!"
It took two more minutes for the voice to be heard by everyone in the hall. Everyone couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, in the past, the Hundred Flowers Club didn't have this project, what happened this time?
I saw a group of women outside the hall walking in lightly, and the most dazzling one in the lead was Mrs. Ma. At this time, she was not the jingchai cloth skirt that Zhao Ji saw earlier, but wearing a silk skirt decorated with flowers, a little wax plum blossom between her eyebrows, light makeup, and the flow of style between her actions, which was amazing.
