Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 386;

Chapter 380;
Li Yu had a hard time eating at the dinner party today, not because someone forced him to drink, but because everyone's polite attitude made him a little unbearable for a while.

Usually Li Yu also participated in two or three large banquets, but those banquets were all initiated by the insiders of Tiance Mansion.

On that occasion, Li Yu was a child, and no one was polite to him. Even the generals, including His Majesty, all commanded and shouted at him.

Li Yu also gradually got used to the general's style, which is more focused on the type of Dama Jindao. Today is the first time to participate in the wine game of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yu didn't dare to be careless, for fear that he would make a fool of himself if he didn't understand the rules, but it was very wrong.

A new incident on such an occasion will soon spread throughout Chang'an City. The head of the Li family's second family in Longxi is actually a fool who doesn't understand the rules. That's extremely embarrassing...

Li Yu could only study hard while eating and drinking. This kind of wine table etiquette in the style of pure civil servants and bureaucrats was laborious and troublesome.

Fortunately, today's occasion is not a gathering of brothers who are too familiar, so it is not for the purpose of drinking, but to make friends and make friends is the theme of today.

No one cares about simply eating wine, although the immortal drunk is very tempting, and everyone wants to open their bellies, but the one sitting here is the founding county uncle appointed by the imperial court, and the second head of the Li family in Longxi, his status is naturally extremely noble .

The other Lang Zhong, who was in charge of the Department of Housekeeping and Cangbu, was still a fifth-rank official, and at the same time he was the sole heir of the Lu family patriarch of Fanyang Lu's family.

There is one who is the host today, the noble elder of the Cui family in Boling. He heard that in the previous dynasty, he was also a real power faction at the top of the fifth rank. Now he is at the bottom of the fifth rank in the new dynasty. He is one of the two people who are in charge of the capital officer and who are on duty in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The Ministry of Punishment has one Shangshu and one servant. There are four subordinates: one is the Ministry of Punishment, the other is the Duguan, the third is the Bibu, and the fourth is the Simen.

There are four persons in charge of the Criminal Department, two persons in charge of the Duguan, four persons in charge of the Bibu, and two persons in charge of the Sect. This elder of the three clans of the Cui family in Boling is one of the persons in charge of the Duguan.

If you don't mention the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Justice, there are still twelve people in power in the Ministry of Justice, and this elder of the three clans is one of them. It is conceivable that he is definitely not an ordinary person.

So today, the Immortal Drunk is regarded as an embellishment. Everyone just tasted it and clinked glasses continuously, but they didn't eat a few catties of wine.

Of course, left and right, all around the three most distinguished ones. After eating a meal for more than an hour, Li Yu also learned a lot of things that he didn't understand, and benefited a lot.

When they came out after the end, everyone said goodbye again politely. Li Yu's ten guards were full and waiting outside the restaurant. Of course, the wine was stale wine, so it was impossible to open a jar of Wuliangye for them.

Ying Xiang was sitting in a grand teacher's chair in the main hall of the restaurant, waiting for Li Yu to come out, with two sturdy servants standing beside her, motionless.

The large group of people who came out with Li Yu today are quite angry when they go back. This kind of scene, this standard of treatment, and this level of big restaurant, I am afraid that these people will never have a second time in this life!
Seeing Li Yu's group of people coming out, Ying Xiang immediately stood up, lowered her head slightly, and waited at the entrance of the restaurant.

A group of civil servants accompanied Li Yu and Lu Jishan, came out, and Cui Yueting from the Cui family of Boling followed to see off the guests. When they left the restaurant, everyone waved goodbye and agreed to make an appointment at another time. After getting into the carriage, he turned around and gave blessings to everyone, and then gave all blessings to the elders of the three clans in Cui's big house, and thanked them softly;
"On behalf of the servants who eat today, I would like to thank the elders of the three clans for their hospitality. The status of the slaves is low and they have no possessions. They can only silently pray to God in their hearts, and take care of the elders of the three clans, so that they will have more children and more blessings."

As Yingxiang's words fell to the ground, the seven servants saluted neatly, and the ten guards from the general's mansion raised their chests and looked up respectfully at Cui Yueting.

A group of civil servants looked at Yingxiang without uttering a word or humiliation, their expressions were as usual, and they spoke and acted with etiquette. They were all amazed, pointing and praising in a low voice, and Cui Yueting stretched out his hands and smiled all over his face;
"Please hurry up, lady, don't give such a big gift, a certain family would like to thank you for your blessing, thank you very much."

Ying Xiang smiled politely, then got into the carriage, ten guards formed a circle outside the carriage, and seven sturdy servants in the inner circle followed the carriage, and the group left slowly.

Seeing Li Yu and his group leave, Cui Yueting then looked at Lu Jishan;
"My dear brother, this Li Dalang is really not someone who is waiting for nothing. He is not frightened or afraid when facing us old killers at a young age. Yes, I'm afraid of the future..."

Lu Jishan and Cui Yueting looked at each other, lowered their heads and whispered four words at the same time.

"inestimable!"

After the two finished speaking at the same time and then nodded at the same time, Lu Jishan spoke in a deep voice;
"Brother, do you pay attention to details, among the guards and servants who came with Li Dalang, there are not many fuel-efficient lamps.

Those seven servants who gave birth to children did not look like servants, but like warriors who returned from fighting in the army. Their actions were uniform and they walked like a tiger. They really envied others.

Although he obeyed the rules of servants, he was different in his bones, mixed with a little bit of arrogance, the younger brother could feel it clearly, I wonder if the elder brother could notice it? "

"Of course, those servants must have been trained by some kind of secret method, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a shocking aura.

Brother, don't forget that the Li family in Longxi has been inherited for more than 1000 years. It is not a literati faction.

Uncle Li's reputation of searching for books everywhere is well known in the world, coupled with the inheritance of Li's military general faction, from the Qin Dynasty to today, God knows how many treasures and military books are hidden?
This incomparably pungent and gluttonous fine wine is probably the treasure that Uncle Li has carefully kept for half his life.

Li Dalang actually took it out to make wine, alas... Li Dalang is indeed loyal to His Majesty, and it is also a good thing to the people of the world, but for him, Li's second wife, the loss is too big..."

This Cui Yueting still has nothing to say, so the three thousand Xuanjia dead men trained by His Majesty today with the secret method, isn't it the ancestral secret method of the Li family in Longxi?
Lu Jishan also sighed;

"Yes, Wuliangye can be said to be rare in the sky and absolutely nothing on the earth, but it only sells for six thousand yuan a bucket. This fairy is drunk. It is simply something that gods can eat. It is only [-] yuan a bucket. It is really a loss. too much."

Originally, Lu Jishan wanted to say that half of it would be given to the imperial court, and the remaining half of the profit would be shared equally with a group of ministers. This kind of loss...is simply a prodigal joke...

It's just that these words are too sensitive, Lu Jishan didn't dare to say a word, but Cui Yueting is an old man, after two generations of court, how can he not know what to say, the two spoke in a very low voice, tacitly and at the same time clicked nodded.

Member Liu next to him saw that the two bosses had stopped talking, so he said something;
"I would like to report to the two gentlemen, the lower official looked at Li Xianbo's personal maids who were well-behaved, and really admired them all. A rural maid can advance and retreat so freely without saying a word or being humble when facing a group of officials. I don't know how Li Xianbo trained him."

Lu Jishan said seriously;

"Mr. Liu, you don't know the details. Li Dalang, the first-generation patriarch who moved in from his ancestors, is very shrewd. According to what my family Aye said, it is said that the first-generation ancestors of their Li family in Lantian moved in and separated. At that time, the family property and money were all ignored, but the selection of the family servants was very serious. They were all selected from the oldest family name passed down by the Li family in Longxi, and they brought in hundreds of such servants. Take advantage of..."

Liu Yuanwai is an in-law and son-in-law of the Qiwang branch with five surnames, how could he know these secret past events, he asked quite nonchalantly;
"As soon as this servant said it, the lower official felt that it must be the kingly way to stick to the loyal and loyal choice. What else is there to pay attention to?"

Cui Yueting kept shaking his head and waving his hands;
"Nephew Liu Xian, you don't know the reason behind it, there is a big difference, especially their Longxi Li family, which is most different from our other five surnames and Qiwang.

The sons of the servants of the Li family in Longxi, the oldest ones are all soldiers who followed their ancestors in the army and fought.
The children of those families are all races who have lived on the frontier for thousands of years. It is no different than the Han people in the pass. One can be worth two.
If you compare those people from the Central Plains, one can beat three, and then compare them to the people from the South, there is no way to compare them...

This first-generation patriarch of the Li family in Lantian is a very clever person, he doesn't try to earn any property, and he doesn't care how much money and silks are allocated to him, he only cares about choosing servants.

Don't even think about the issue of loyalty, even if you give them thousands of talents, you won't be able to fool one of them. You have already seen whether they are healthy or not.

Hehe, when you have the chance to go to Lantian Li's village in the future, you will know the details slowly, nine out of ten are extremely strong, but they are all irritable, fearless...

A certain family lived in Uncle Li's Zhuangzi for more than half a month, and found that the houses of their Li family in Lantian were even more different from those in Longxi.

The rest of the family's food is shared by the head of the family, the head of the clan, and the hundreds of servants. If a family has a child and a servant is sick, Uncle Li can spend more than a dozen silver coins to find capable people to heal and treat them all over Chang'an City. Brutely rescued.

Nephew Liu Xian, think about it, other than the Li family in Lantian, among the powerful and powerful families in the world, which other family can do such a thing, and treat the lives of the family's children and servants as brothers or children ?
What's more, in Uncle Li's mansion, all the errands, no matter the maids, maids, or servants, even those who do odd jobs in the kitchen, are handed down from father to son and mother to son from generation to generation.

The previous generation was in charge, so we should cultivate a son who can take over from an early age. The previous generation was a third-class maid, and the next generation will take over. This kind of person has learned the same thing since childhood. What I want to do in the future, I am sure that I can’t compare with a professional one. of.

That well-behaved maid, passed down from generation to generation, is definitely not an ordinary maid, what's so rare?

Nephew, if your family inherits it for more than a dozen generations, you can do it. The problem is that your family is willing to spend dozens of pens on a group of servants, dozens of pens?What's more, there are still a lot of people, not ten or twenty..."

When Lu Jishan heard this, he was also deep in thought. The group of officials were even more stunned when they heard this, and several of them gasped.

One of the officials under the sixth grade couldn't help asking;

"How much money and silk will be used to make up for it? Hundreds of servants, my God, all of them have to be raised as children. If anyone does this, they will be poor in a short time."

The elders of the three clans of the Boling Cui clan sneered;
"This is the difference between people, so Uncle Li's second house has been the poorest house among the descendants of the Li family for more than 200 years. It has been used to feed the servants. Can it not be poor?
However, let’s not talk about it, even though they are a little poor, they have never died of starvation, let alone one person, and it’s not like nothing has been gained.

It's not all about doing useless work. Those servants of the Li family, as long as anyone dares to hurt their master, all the children in those families, regardless of men, women, or children, dare to play with their lives with you. . "

The unconvinced sixth-rank official muttered in his mouth;

"It's nothing, isn't the servants of any family desperately protecting..."

The sixth-rank official also has no confidence, and the more he speaks, the lower his voice. Finally, he thinks carefully about those servants in his family. If they encounter such a situation, will they sacrifice their lives to protect the master? Shaking his head, it was obvious that he himself didn't think it was possible!
Lu Jishan was silent for a long time, as if he understood a little, why his own Aye managed it so painstakingly, isn't what Aye did is what the five generations of the patriarchs of the Li family in Lantian have been doing?

Aye is really amazing, no wonder he was able to be the great Situ of the previous court, alas... Aye is Aye, he is a real god, why didn't I think of such a deep thing before?

Shaking his head, Lu Jishan bowed his hands to the elders of the three clans of the Cui family in Boling, and left with a smile;

"Thank you elder brother for taking care of me today. My younger brother is very grateful. There are still some matters to be dealt with in the Cangbu Division, so there is no delay. My younger brother bids farewell, and my elder brother doesn't need to send me any more. You can go back and rest well."

Cui Yueting nodded and called out;
"Come here, bring the things here."

As several servants came over with wooden trays, they found that there were many small wine bottles, a small jar weighing three to four catties, and twelve small bottles of one catty. Act as if you didn't see it.

When Lu Jishan saw this, he waved his hands wildly and refused;
"No, no, brother, why are you being polite with me? The rest of the brothers are for their own use. I lead a bunch of people, and I will eat for nothing. I will take it after eating. Tell me where to put this face .”

Cui Yueting stared;
"You don't need anything, just can you, take anything, even if you take it, you didn't take mine. This is the fine wine left for us to eat by the brothers of the Li family.
How can I swallow it all by myself and spread it out, I won’t share a catty with you, I’m all greedy for ink, where do you want me to put my old face? "

Lu Jishan hesitated when he heard this;
"This……"

"What's this, you just don't want it, your subordinates follow you to busy you up and down, and you don't give them a pound of tooth-beating sacrifice?
Besides, I also kept a lot. Thirty catties of fairy drunk, we ate about three catties today, and there are still more than 20 catties left.

This is one catty for each of your brothers, and you will share three catties. Brother Yu will be greedy for the rest. "

Lu Jishan followed Cui Yueting's indistinct look, and glanced back;
"You haven't thanked Cui Langzhong for his kindness, when will you wait?"

A group of officials have been staring at the fairy on the plate and got drunk. They all think that the elders of the three clans of the Cui family are really capable people who can do things. No wonder his official position is also high, and his business is booming. fire……

A group of people hurriedly saluted to express their gratitude, nonsense, this fairy is drunk, before the Ministry of Households does not sell, the whole world is in the hands of Li Xianbo, who can have the goods, don't even think about other places, it is useless to spend how much money, in the market But there is no price.

Although it is only a catty, it would be the best to give it to an important person tonight. Asking someone to do something, knocking on the door with the immortal drunk that is in short supply in Chang'an City, will get twice the result with half the effort.

I just don’t want to eat it, I’ll find someone in the market for a while, and I’ll get the money when I change hands, don’t look at it for a catty, before the household department releases the wine, it’s definitely not a problem to sell him for 100 or [-]...
