Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 16 Reaction of the Parties

If you want to maximize your benefits, you must have matching strength.

Jinling is so full of nobles and nobles that the density of dignitaries is second only to places in the capital.

Not to mention that Feng Yibo is a juren, even a Jinshi has to be a man with his tail between his legs.

The person you accidentally offend is likely to be a descendant of a prince.

Even royal relatives.

If the offense is serious, a group of old relatives will immediately jump out to make decisions for them.

This is what Feng Yibo is most worried about.

If he didn't eat the cake by then, he would be watched again.

He was eaten as a cake and wiped clean.

Since the cake is too big, he can't eat it.

Then, Feng Yibo needs someone who is qualified to share the cake.

Someone who can stand in front of him and shield him from the wind and rain.

His parents died early and he has no clan members.

Among the people he can get in touch with, the only one who is close enough and has a certain status is this Guozijian Jijiu.

"Master misunderstood."

Feng Yibo lowered his brows, revealing a look of embarrassment.

"What the disciple said is not mere military exploits, but the capture of defeating the Japanese pirates this time."

The expression seemed to be a little embarrassed for this rich man.

Li Shouzhong didn't care much about this, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Although these Japanese pirates have been harming the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, they are busy fleeing east and west, so they probably can't take much with them."

In his mind, there were no more than a hundred Japanese pirates.

Even if each person brought ten taels of gold, 8000 taels of silver would be enough.

A lot less, but not a lot more.

In Jinling City, any well-to-do family can afford it.

Seeing that he didn't believe him, Feng Yibo first looked around cunningly.

It seemed that after confirming that there was no one around, he took another step forward and kept his voice to a minimum.

"Teacher, this time we wiped out the Japanese pirates, and we have handed over several cartloads of goods."

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo couldn't help but get excited, and said as if asking for credit:

"I asked people to pick out the most elegant ones, and added some valuable ones. I filled a whole cart and brought them to the teacher's residence."

Let me talk about the most elegant one first, which is what I like.

He also said that it was not enough for a car, so he filled it up with valuable ones.

Although it is a gift, it seems to be dismissive of money inside and outside the words.

But whether it is elegant or valuable, it shows that this car is worth a lot.

How could Li Shouzhong not hear it?
But not only was he not happy, but his face darkened.

"What does that mean?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see through this modern subject.

His voice also turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you want to bribe the old man?"

From Feng Yibo's words, Li Shouzhong had some associations,
If the Japanese pirates had chariots and horses, it would not be a matter of 8000 taels.

Even if the Japanese pirates are a little more knowledgeable, a car worth [-] or [-] is still there!
He said several cars, and there was probably room to spare.

Not to mention too much, if there are ten cars, wouldn't the total value exceed one million?
With such a huge windfall, Li Shouzhong was a little tempted.

Of course, the distance between tempted and hands-on is still separated by a person's moral bottom line.

Obviously, Li Shouzhong's moral bottom line is much higher than that of Mu Kun.

At least, he didn't think about actually doing it.

"With the reputation and qualifications of a mentor, why have you been in the Imperial College for more than ten years?"

Feng Yibo made a move to grab the head start.

He did not answer Li Shouzhong's question directly, but raised a new question.

Guozijian Jijiuguan to the fourth rank, and also the chief official of the highest institution.

Those who can achieve this position are recognized as great Confucians.

Moreover, the status of other departments is higher than that of Liudu.

Only Guozijian is different.

Gein, the number and quality of the South's cases are much higher than those in the North.

In addition, the number of Yin prisons in the capital is huge, and the prison students are also good and bad.

As a result, the teaching quality of the Imperial College in Nanjing and the number of talents it cultivated far surpassed that of the Imperial College in the capital.

The status among scholars is naturally higher than that of Nanjing Guozijian.

Even when it comes to Guozijian, everyone thinks of Nanjing Guozijian.

Not the nameless one in the capital.

In such a position for more than ten years, his achievements have been remarkable.

It is said that whether it is reputation or qualifications.

Li Shouzhong is enough to be promoted to a minister!

But more than why, he was awkwardly stuck in this position.

Not up or down.

Therefore, when Feng Yibo raised such a question, Li Shouzhong was a little confused.

At the same time, he also fell into a brief silence because he was poked in a sore spot.

Feng Yibo was waiting for this moment, and then it was his performance time.

"Both my parents have lost, and I have no clan members. It was not until I was taught by my mentor in the Imperial College that I had an elder to call the shots."

He has a sincere expression and speaks clearly.

These words have their roots, and they are spoken with sincerity.

"My teacher not only taught me the way of being a man and the words of a sage, but also gave me the word 'Yibo', hoping that I will make achievements in learning, profound and broad."

This is about the past of master and apprentice, so Li Shouzhong can't help letting go of his guard and falling into short-term memories.

He remembered back then when he discovered this talented seedling.

It is often understood very quickly, and it is even easier to draw inferences from one instance.

The point is, he is also extremely hardworking.

After learning about his family background, Li Shouxin felt pity for him, so he took more care of him.

And Feng Yuan is also up to date.

It's rare to win the exam at the age of 17, and what's even more rare is that he is still Xie Yuan.

"If you have a talent for a master's degree, if you don't have a mentor, it will be difficult for you to pass the exam. What's the matter with Jieyuan?"

Students who do well in the exam are inseparable from their own efforts.

But how come you don't get credit for being a teacher?

Hearing Feng Yibo say this, even Li Shouzhong couldn't help being slightly complacent.

"Today, my disciple has a request, and my teacher didn't hesitate at all. With a message, you will spare no effort to come to the gate of the city to serve as my disciple."

It is true that Li Shouzhong is strict with students, and it is even more true that he is good to good students.

A gentleman like him, when he heard that his proud disciple had a request, he would naturally go over to have a look.

But at this point, Feng Yibo looked at Li Shouzhong with burning eyes, and asked loudly:
"The disciple would like to ask, as Yibo's only elder, his mentor is equal to his parents, why should I bring some things?"

Zi once said: A student is a teacher, although he is not convinced, he has the kindness of his father and brother, so he is called a disciple.

Only then did Li Shouzhong understand, no wonder this little fellow called himself a student on weekdays, but today he took one student at a time.

It turned out to be waiting for him here!

Disciples serve as teachers and respect the same as their fathers.

"Mister asked me if I bribed, but anyone who bribes must ask for something. The disciple has no selfishness. Why does the teacher think I bribed?"

Teacher, look, I'm not offering bribes, I'm doing my filial piety!
This is the central idea that Feng Yibo wants to express.

The word "filial piety" is not mentioned in the whole process, but every word is inseparable from the word "filial piety".

These sincere words brought the teacher-student relationship closer to the extreme in an instant.

The training that originally did not ask for anything in return has received generous feedback.

At this moment, Li Shouzhong was extremely upset.

Wealth comes second, and filial piety is really rare.

But Li Shouzhong didn't speak.

He is waiting.

Wait for this favorite student to give his final answer.
