Xinshun 1730

Chapter 97

Record the things to be done in the small book that you carry with you. After each item is clear, separate it according to the difficulty of achieving it.

After hiding the small book, Mantou was called in.

"Now that you have the status of a beloved man, you can't be called by a steamed bun. I remember your surname is Mi, right?"

"The third master has a really good memory. His surname is Mi, and his original name was rice cake, so after following the third master, he wanted to change his original surname as a servant, so he called it Mantou by the way."

"Come on, from now on you will be rice cakes, not steamed buns."

Mantou has been with Liu Yu for a long time, and has heard a lot of things, and said with a smile: "The third master is interested in Nanyang, so he even changed my name from Mantou to Rice Cake. Beimai Nanmi, I am afraid that it is not the third master who changed it like this. Everyone knows about your thoughts?"

Liu Yu glanced at the steamed buns, couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Really, you're so fucking talented if you don't do reading comprehension."

He often heard Liu Yu say some strange words, Mantou was used to seeing them without being surprised, so he didn't ask in detail, and probably guessed what they meant.After laughing, he asked again: "Third Master, what should I do in the future?"

Mantou's current status is also quite embarrassing.

Honors are not officials, honors are similar to military medals.Theoretically, even if you get into the Zhu Kingdom at the twelfth turn, if you don't have an official status, you can only start as a fifth-rank official with the status of the Zhu Kingdom. This is the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the rule of Dashun.

Of course, the rules are rules, no one can come to Shangzhu country without an official status.But when this rule is placed on a small honor like Mantou, this kind of embarrassment also appears.

"You also have honors now. Even if this mansion is a hereditary duke's mansion, you can't use eunuchs, and secondly, you can't use honored men. But you have no one in your family. It's not easy to live in the capital. You just Stay with me for the time being. Don't call me "Third Master" in the future, I know you are used to it, but if anyone wants to hear it, I will trouble you and trouble you."

Mantou is also a smart and well-behaved person, knowing the importance of this, nodded and said: "Yes. Mr. Liu is absolutely right."

Calling Mr. Liu, Mantou was also awkward, and Liu Yu was also awkward when he heard it. The two looked at each other and smiled, helpless.

Mantou has turned into rice cakes, and the third master has turned into a son, but the relationship between the two is still there, and Mantou is a confidant who has been together since childhood. Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Well, you will live with me first. In the future Just follow me, you already have an honor, and in the future, you will have a legitimate opportunity to make your debut, and it will satisfy your wishes."

Speaking of "mind matters", Mantou couldn't help but think of the girl with the smell of wild wheat in the white mountains and black waters, and couldn't help sighing.

All the way to the north, and followed Du Feng for a long time, I hoped that my "dream uncle" would be admitted to Wude Palace.

But sometimes there will be such a small thought in my heart, hoping that my "big brother" will fail in the examination room and not be the best in the examination.If he passed the exam, even if he was already a husband, the gap in status would still be a gap that couldn't be bridged.

I don't know whether it is blessing to the heart, or love can really make people's minds flexible, Mantou suddenly said: "Third Master, you will definitely do great things in the future. I have also been a companion with you, and I have read books with you. Otherwise, I will worship you as my teacher? The third master will definitely lack manpower in the future. I will learn whatever the third master tells me to learn. I will follow the third master in the future to find a family background. "

clatter……

With a snap of his fingers, Liu Yu smiled and said, "You're really smart. It's a good way to live here, and it's hard for others to say anything."

He is indeed short of manpower.It doesn't matter what you study for, whether it's for becoming an official or picking up girls, as long as you have a purpose, you can always work harder than those who have no purpose.

Mantou is also a confidant since he was a child, it really couldn't be more suitable.

As he spoke, he took out two pieces of silver from his pocket and threw them over, saying, "That's it. You go and buy some meat or something, as a gift for confinement. I will have a meal with my friends in a few days. At that time, you also go along, presenting a cultivation ceremony in front of everyone, and apprenticeship. Firstly, it will prevent them from treating you like a steamed bun in the future, and secondly, it will save a lot of trouble."

He took the money and weighed it, thinking that he would have to pay it back in the future.It's not a problem to eat and drink with the third master on weekdays, but it's not a trivial matter to learn from the master, and the money can't be spent in vain.

Pretending to be thoughtful, Jishou thanked me.

Liu Yu got up and smiled and said, "Then you can stay here first. I have to go back to the inner courtyard. I am not you. I don't have a girl in my heart yet, and I am young. If I have one at home, I don't have to bother myself. hand."

When Liu Yu went out, Mantou looked at Liu Yu's back and said in his heart: "The third master is indeed suitable to be a teacher. He educates me all day on weekdays, to treat people as people, and not to be 'useful things'. It makes a lot of sense, but doing it...is completely different. Since you don't have Swift in your heart, isn't that using "things"? A teacher is someone who can reason with others but doesn't have to do it himself, hehe. "

…………

After entering the inner courtyard, Swift hurriedly greeted her, just like in the past, she waited and changed her clothes, her face was not even a bit ashamed.

When Liu Yu came back a few days ago, thinking about the absurd thing that happened the night before he went to Nu'er to do Dusi, he couldn't help but blush and heartbeat.But in the past few days, absurdity has become a habit, but I don't even blush.

"Third Master, the Second Young Master of Qi Guogong sent someone here today. This time, it didn't make a riddle like the last time, but sent someone directly to spread the word that they have been trapped in the Wude Palace for the past few days. Today, I will take a rest tomorrow, and invite you to go out for a drink together. He acts as the host and cleans up the dust for the third master, which can be regarded as a celebration for the third master to be awarded the honor of captain of the light car."

"Ouch!"

Liu Yu slapped her head, which startled Swift.

"What happened to the third master?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I heard you say peace and throw, and I remembered a key thing."

The last time Tian Ping lied to him to go to his house to do translation work, he used the big grapefruit from Fujian as an introduction, saying that he is a knight in fruit and a sword in ten years.

Although I don't know exactly how the Duke of Qi and Fujian Jiedushi's friendship is, but the relationship is definitely deeper than that of my own family.

I was just looking for someone who could speak Japanese. Many Fujian businessmen went to Nagasaki via Ryukyu, so I had to delay Tian Ping to deal with this matter.

"Wonderful!"

Feeling happy, I couldn't help but let out a cry, grabbed Swift who was at the side, and asked bluntly, "Have you taken a bath yet?"

After a few days of absurd things, Swift also gradually let go, less the shyness of the day, and more charming light rhyme.

It wasn't blushing like a mosquito and humming, or going directly to clean up the bed, but sticking to Liu Yu's ear, deliberately blowing on the heater to tickle Liu Yu's earlobe, and whispered: "Wash it early. It's over."

The numb itching on the earlobe made Liu Yu tremble for a while, and said two words.

"go to bed!"

…………

In the middle of the night, some people are alone dreaming sweet dreams, some people feel that the two of them are too hot together in Ruanxiang mode, and some people are talking strange words.

Somewhere in the capital, several people were sitting opposite each other, seemingly drinking, but there was no half of the waiter singing to accompany them.

There was wine and meat on the table, but the people sitting around played the Buddhist wit.

"But there is a man who believes in Buddhism, does not kill animals, and does not eat meat. This man has a son, but he likes to eat meat, and he does not want to eat the vegetarian food at home."

"This man tried a few words of persuasion, but it was useless. On this day, this man locked up his son, and he was only allowed to eat vegetarian food every day. Within a month, his son couldn't stand it anymore, and he yelled for meat all day long." Eating meat means being starved for days.”

"The man told the cook at home: Take five catties of the fattest white meat, don't add half a teaspoon of salt, and don't add a little scallion spice, just boil it in hot water. The greasy fat solidified and all stuck to the cold white meat, and there was no trace of salt, let alone a trace of scallion, so I took the white meat to my son who had been starving for several days."

"The son was starved for a few days, and he was vegetarian for more than a month. He was like a mosquito seeing blood. He ate two meals in a row. Guess what happened?"

When the question was asked, without waiting for others to answer, the person who asked the question opened his mouth first, and said with a smile: "Since then, this man's son can't eat a little bit of greasy food, and he wants to vomit when he sees meat."

"So, if you want to make a person stop eating meat, the best way is to let him eat meat hard. But what he wants to eat is lean meat, but what he eats is white fat meat."

Everyone here is not lean, obviously they don't want to use this method to quit meat.

The meaning of the story on the wine table, one is to adjust the atmosphere, and the other is to refer to something else.But if it is to adjust the atmosphere, there will naturally be no lack of hostesses who laugh with you and singers who sing songs, but there is no one to sit with you.

After hearing the story, everyone at the table smiled.

"Some people want to eat meat. It seems that this persuasion cannot be persuaded. If it cannot be persuaded, there must be other means."

"If he wants to eat meat, then let him eat cold fatty meat, and say that he will never eat it until he vomits; if he wants to drink water, then add salt to the water, and let him drink until he vomits, but he can't quench his thirst."

The person next to him also laughed and said, "Wonderful!"

"Eating meat is to satisfy greed, and drinking water is to quench thirst. But if the matter is made into that eating meat is for meat, drinking water is for water... hehe."

Amidst a burst of laughter, the storyteller picked up his chopsticks, tapped a piece of bad duck tongue on the table and said: "Again, if there is a duck wagging its tongue and quacking, the rest of the ducks will follow suit." It started barking. The so-called barking shape of one dog and barking sound of a hundred dogs. Now there is a place where ducks are raised, if there is one that quacks, it will naturally bark all over the sky."

"The Wude Palace and the Guozijian are just across the street, and there are many quarrels on weekdays. It is nothing more than fear of wolves and embarrassment, so the separation is like a wolf and a dog. If this is the case, let the ducks of the Guozijian squawk a few times... not to Restore Han and Tang Xiongfeng? Then revise, revise vigorously, until the matter is never mentioned again, and until the unhealthy tendencies of the Han and Tang Dynasties are actively suppressed."

"Persuasion, I think I can't be persuaded anymore. If I can't be persuaded, then eat white meat to quench my appetite and drink salt water to quench my thirst."

"If you want to restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, I will go a step further and denounce the visit of the Rakshasa Mission as an old insult to the Song and Liao Dynasty; Tian Mu, then do it seriously, and it will cause the sky and the people to complain."

The bystanders understood the clever strategy, but one hesitated and said: "Although the students of the Imperial College are easy to croak, they are not stupid."

Someone laughed and said: "Opposite the Guozijian is the Wude Palace. Mr. Liu Yu, the captain of Qingche, Mr. Liu, is also a person who participated in the negotiation with Luocha. The traitors misled the country, humiliated the country, beat up, and left history. name, who wouldn’t do it?”
