Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 102 Friends who must be cherished

Since all the teachers were gone, the Deer Ming Banquet was naturally postponed. It would have been nice if it had not been cancelled.

It was the civil servant's insistence to continue holding the Luming Banquet. Wang Zhiwang, who was supposed to attend the Luming Banquet, became Li Qing.

When he learned that Li Qing attended the Luming Banquet, Jia Lian couldn't help but think the worst about him. The rumors that had appeared before the provincial examination, combined with what was happening now, made it impossible for Li Qing to escape suspicion. The mastermind is definitely not Li Qing, but no matter how you talk about him, just one or two words, or even some emotion, will make someone feel hinted and do it.

Jia Lian doesn't think about the process, I just look at the results. Previously, Li Qing was regarded as a traitor by some people in the Qingyun Party. The management and teachers of the academy could be regarded as reserve cadres. After these people were purged, it was immediately obvious who was the talker in the Qingyun Academy. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Li Qing is the biggest beneficiary. The matter was not his handiwork, and it was inevitable that he would give initial acquiescence and then add fuel to the flames.

People who play politics have such dirty hearts!

Thinking of this, Jia Lian's eyes grew colder as he sat in his seat. He looked at the newly-minted candidates, who looked a little green and clumsy in praising Li Qing, and felt more helpless.

The Lu Ming Banquet was about to compose poems, and these new candidates showed their greatest enthusiasm to express themselves. Next year is the examination, and if they don't seize the time to come up with masterpieces to become famous, it will be too late.

The person who solved the problem was Li Dong. He was a kind man, and he took the lead in composing poems as well. "Thank God to my parents, thank you for your kindness, thank you for my teacher's kindness." That's about it. Thank you all once. There is nothing outstanding about it.

The top three wrote poems one after another, and it was supposed to be Jia Lian's turn as the fourth, but he sat there in a daze, resulting in a brief silence.

The expression on Li Qing's face remained unchanged, but his eyes dimmed slightly, and he quickly responded in a friendly tone: "Jia Lian, why are you in a daze? Do you have any poems?"

You still have to maintain your face, and don't go too far in being independent. Jia Lian doesn't have the courage to be the enemy of the whole world.

Faced with Li Qing's inquiry, Jia Lian still stood up in accordance with the rules and responded with all due etiquette: "Returning to the pavilion, Mr. Lian has never been good at composing poems. The top three gems are here, but he is at a loss for words. Although he has many emotions, , I don’t know where to start.”

I thought someone would definitely criticize me, but after I finished talking, no one came forward, which made Jia Lian a little uncomfortable. Li Qing didn't know how to comment on this student. Thinking of the many interpretations of what happened today, his scalp went numb. If it were any student doing this, Li Qing would be able to handle it easily, and he would not be known as a magnanimous person.

The only exception is Jia Lian. There was a story between the two in the past.

The old story of Qingyun Academy, the mainstream rumor in the market was that Qingyun Academy was unfair, which led to Fang Baiyi's resignation.

It couldn't just go by like this. Li Qing quickly figured out that there was no possibility of downplaying today's matter.

But seeing Li Qing stand up from the chair, all the new people were so frightened that they also stood up.

"In the old affairs of Qingyun, I handled it in accordance with the rules of the academy. I was rude and lost the favor. Thinking about it afterwards, Qingyun Academy took the blame for Mr. Li and his reputation was damaged. Today, in front of all the young talents, I did not rely on my official position. , I would like to warn you all about this matter. In the future, when you enter the official career, you should put your peace of mind first in everything. Be careful!"

Even if I admit my mistake in public, what does it mean? My original treatment was indeed in accordance with the hospital rules. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but in fact it was selfish. So I still can’t feel at ease. From now on, everyone will be officials outside and have less selfish motives. a little.

Jia Lian's CPU was burned out after just a few words. How could this person be so awesome?

Anyone who throws his face on the ground and steps on him will lose his talent if he does not become the first assistant in the future.

Jia Lian was shocked and speechless. Li Qing's actions today will be spread throughout the capital tomorrow, and no one will be able to find fault by then. The dignified elder admitted his mistake in public.

How to play, how to play? This is a dimensionality reduction attack!

Regardless of Jia Lian's good background, it is just his background, and he is now the elder of the pavilion.

When Li Qingneng lowered his figure in front of everyone, he was already in an invincible position.

Except for the kind man Li Dong, who looked sympathetically at Jia Lian, the others didn't care about Jia Lian at all. They all bowed respectfully to Li Qing and replied neatly: "We will follow your instructions! "

Even Jia Lian, who had come back to his senses, could only hold his back straight, hugged Li Qing silently with his last stubbornness, and then turned around and left.

Did he really just leave like that? Jia Lian's actions drew everyone's attention to his back. Standing on the steps at the door, Jia Lian stopped. The atmosphere was silent, waiting for Jia Lian, the loser, to bark loudly and prepare to talk tomorrow.

Li Qing, however, had no intention of relaxing. He had also been in a situation where he was forced into a corner, but he didn't have many cards in his hand, so he could only surrender obediently. Jia Lian is different, really different. Regardless of his background, just looking at the backstage shows that there is a lot of room for advancement and retreat.

At this moment, Li Qing was thinking about a question. How should I deal with this situation?

[Jia Lian, you are Zhang Tingen’s direct disciple, don’t let me down! 】

Suddenly a glimmer of expectation arose in my heart!

"Those who can't kill me will only make me stronger!"

There was no poetry, Jia Lian just left behind a simple sentence, and walked away calmly and calmly, without any embarrassment.

In other words, Jia Lian adjusted his mentality almost as soon as he turned around.

I didn't plan to compete with Li Qing in the first place. The two of them are not the same heavyweight. The victory or defeat is not important. Being able to force Li Qing to admit his mistake in public is a victory. What's more, can you still show the attitude of a weak person who becomes more courageous even though he is defeated?

Therefore, Li Qing won, and Jia Lian also won. Win-win!

After Jia Lian left, the Lu Ming Banquet also broke up. Li Qing suddenly felt as if he had lost his spoils on the way back to the court after winning a victory.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that it was boring. He smiled and waved his hands and said: "Everyone, please let us go today."

Jia Lian on the carriage was a little frustrated. After all, he was on a B-level. Being cheated on was definitely unpleasant, but it had nothing to do with his mentality.

The sound of horse hooves came from behind, as well as Li Dong's voice: "Brother Jia, wait a minute."

Stopping the carriage, he looked back and saw that it was Li Dong chasing after him on horseback.

There are good people in Qingyun Academy, but not many. When it comes to kind people, Li Qing is definitely one of his classmates.

In life, there is nothing wrong with seeking fame and fortune. But there is a bottom line in being a person and doing things, and being able to consider the difficulties of others is kind!

As classmates and friends, such people should be cherished no matter what.

Jia Lian can be sure that if one day the Jia family falls and he is reduced to a beggar, Jia Zheng and Jia Lan may not be able to give him a bite to eat. Li Dong will definitely be fed and clothed, and he may even be able to give himself a portion. Work.

"Brother Li, why are you doing this?" Jia Lian greeted him with a smile and hugged his hands. Li Dong got off his horse and stepped forward to return the greeting: "Brother Jia was born in a noble family. During his time in the academy, he never acted in any way. He may seem indifferent, but he is actually a gentleman. Brother Jia doesn't have to worry about what happened today. The right and wrong and justice have already been judged. Mr. Li Ge has delayed admitting his mistake until now. He has to do it not willingly but because he really has to do it."

Kind people + understanding people!

After hearing these words, Jia Lian sighed with emotion: "I am destined to not have many friends. Now that I have Brother Li as a friend, it should come to light."

After hearing this, Li Dong suddenly beamed and said, holding Jia Lian's hand: "I think so too! Let's go to the restaurant and I'll treat you." "Hey, Brother Li also speaks in the vernacular. It's my fault. Ah." Jia Lian followed with a smile.

But Li Dong raised his head and laughed and said: "I usually speak in vernacular at home. I only become more refined after studying. If I don't say a few sentences and say poems, it seems that the book has been read in vain. If I have the opportunity to be a herdsman official in the future, I will face it. When dealing with the common people, one should still speak in vernacular so as not to understand them, and memorial documents should still be written in a formal way so as not to be too unorthodox."

There was a restaurant nearby. After the two of them went upstairs and sat down at a table, Jia Lian continued: "Brother Li, do you know why the court announcements and official documents are all so formal?"

Li Dong suddenly fell into deep thought after hearing this, and shook his head for a long time: "It's a common practice that it doesn't make sense."

"I see, before paper became popular, bamboo slips were used as books, so there was a saying of the swordsman and the penman. At that time, writing a book and writing a biography was a hard job. If you can save a word, you can save a word, and what you want is to be concise and concise. Today's Official documents and court notices can obviously be written clearly in the vernacular, but they must be passed down unchanged, and there are many articles in them."

After hearing these words, Li Qing, a sensible man, hesitated to speak, as if something was stuck in his throat.

Jia Lian smiled slightly: "Just understand and keep it in your heart. This is not something you and I can change. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can push it, but don't have too much hope, otherwise you will be hit if your hopes fail."

Li Dong was immediately relieved, smiled and shook his head: "I still plan to comfort you, but I don't want to be comforted by you."

"Within the scope of ability, each generation should do what the other generation does. Do your best. The Utopia is too far away."

"I don't know what will happen in the future. For now, I just want to get drunk with Brother Jia."

Li Dong felt that he had finally done something that he wanted to do but did not dare to do before, and he felt unexpectedly happy.

The two of them just had one drink for you and one for me. While drinking, they talked. Many old things in the academy were brought up, they talked about their impressions at the time, commented on the classmates, and then smiled knowingly.

Li Dong was obviously drunk, and Jia Lian was also half drunk. The two of them walked out of the restaurant arm in arm. Jia Lian was still able to arrange for someone to send Li Dong back, and then he threw himself on the carriage and shouted. Huda sleep.

When I got home, my servants moved me to the bed. It was late at night when I woke up. I didn't ask the maid in the cubicle to keep watch, so I got up and held a lantern for convenience. When I came back, I wanted to go back to sleep, but I was no longer sleepy. Thinking of everything that happened during the day, I couldn't help but smile and shake my head, but I was secretly happy to have a good friend.

The IQ of the ancients should not be underestimated.

There were several newspapers in the capital. Jia Lian asked his servants to keep an eye on them and buy them if they were available.

No, the "Shiwen" in front of me seems to have a strong stance.

The events at the Luming Banquet were commented on and explained in almost every new newspaper. Only this newspaper briefly mentioned the events at the Luming Banquet and followed the subsequent events between Jia Lian and Li Dong.

This newspaper gave Jia Lian the feeling of a tabloid. Aren't people who run tabloids in this era really worried about someone burning the newspaper or getting local gangsters to come and destroy the newspaper office?

[Between Duke Xie Yuan of Shuntian Prefecture and the direct grandson of Rongguo Prefecture, they drank and chatted happily after the Lu Ming Banquet. Was it because the Lu Ming Banquet was not full of fun? Or cherish each other? Outsiders are not welcome! According to the guests at the restaurant, the two treated each other as good friends and there was nothing discordant about them. 】

[When they were classmates in the past, they thought they would get along very well, so they became friends without relying on their background. 】

[There may be something unspeakable about Jia Lian's Qingyun's old story. 】

The content between the lines of this newspaper can not be overstated at all to describe it as "Gonghuo".

If it were not for ancient times, Jia Lian would suspect that the author graduated from modern journalism.

The delicious smell of Penang is coming to your face!

Jia Lian didn't have much ill will towards this newspaper. After all, people who work in the news and write newspapers following the news are always respectable. I'm afraid that in the future, this newspaper will develop in the direction of selective reporting, and then it will really be like the Loli Island incident that no one will ask about, and monkeys who abuse cats will be spread all over the world.

Jia Lian didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to release the devil of newspapers and media.

Because sooner or later this thing will turn into a boomerang. If you can play it like this, others can too, and they can even play it better.

As long as the government doesn't interfere with this thing, there is no lower limit to folk wisdom.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian felt that I couldn't just let it go and had to find some killer moves for myself in advance.

Seeing that it was still early, Jia Lian packed up and went out. He could go to Zhang Mansion before dinner, have dinner, and come up with some bad ideas, perfect.

Zhang Ting'en, who returned from the imperial dynasty, had another maid serving beside him. You can get a glimpse of how enjoyable the life of a scholar-bureaucrat was by looking at Zhang Ting'en. This person used to serve in front of the master's wife. Judging from this meaning, the master's wife is really virtuous.

This definition of virtuous belongs to this era. Jia Lian will not use the definition of modern society to define the ancients.

If one could go back to modern times and become a young second generation, Jia Lian would probably hold high the banner of non-marriage and enjoy life.

The forest is so big, why hang on a tree?

Zhang Ting'en, who had a rosy complexion, showed a look of disgust: "What's the matter?"

Otherwise, he was a direct disciple. Looking at the expression on Jia Lian's face, Zhang Ting'en knew that something was wrong with him.

"What did the student fail to cover up? Could you please point it out, sir?" Jia Lian, who was thick-skinned enough, didn't care at all about this understatement. He asked enthusiastically for advice and learning.

"You should bring a mirror and take a look at it when you go to see your wife." Zhang Ting'en joked.

"Ah, is it so obvious that the student is so flattering when facing his teacher's wife?" He said this as if he was boasting.

Master Zhang Wu who came in from the door smiled and bent over. After a while, she came forward. She gently raised her hand and tapped Jia Lian's forehead and said, "Don't listen to your teacher. Master likes you like this."

Jia Lian immediately resumed his flattery, looked at the maid next to Zhang Ting'en and said, "Master's wife is so virtuous!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang Wu just smiled and said: "Your only junior brother is only eight years old. The old man has traveled thousands of miles. The Zhang family wants to spread its branches, and the junior wife dare not be known as a jealous wife."

Zhang Ting'en suddenly changed his expression and looked at Jia Lian with a bad look in his eyes!
