26 Accidents
Sitting at the head of Liang Shu is the third-in-command in Lehui County, the main bookkeeper Shen Jiashang; Next to him is his sworn brother, who is also a figure with a head and face in the county, Yang Guangqiang.
Seeing Li Tianyang taking Guan Juxiong to toast them, the two raised their wine glasses with a smile and accepted Li Tianyang's toast with a smile. Looking at their expressions, they were very sincere, and there was no too much perfunctory color in Liang Shusheng's eyes, but it made Li Tianyang's good impression of these two people a little more at once.
Don't look at Li Tianyang's relationship with Lu Zhang, but in fact, Li Tianyang is not willing to have too close a relationship with an unqualified bureaucrat like Liang Shusheng. So in the past, when there was nothing to do, Li Tianyang was mostly handed over to his shopkeeper Shi to help take care of the relationship between them. Even with it, a figure like Shen Jiashang who seems to be a big player in Lehui County, Li Tianyang doesn't have too much contact with them at all, at most, everyone is just familiar.
Not to mention, at his age, in the eyes of these people, he is just a person who has some intelligence and is released by the adults in the family to cultivate and exercise. Otherwise, why is it that every time Li Tianyang travels, he is always followed by his prime-aged entourage, I am afraid that secretly, Li Tianyang's actions are mostly from the hands of these entourage. Although such speculation is completely different from the truth, it can't explain at all that any big family in Lehui County would be willing to hand over such a foundation to a stinky hairy boy. But compared to the fact that Li Tianyang did not hide and showed it, these adults still prefer to believe a 'fact' that they have speculated wildly.
Li Tianyang didn't know that if he wanted to make achievements in Lehui County, he really couldn't do without the support of Liang Shusheng. Even if he has climbed into Lu Zhang's relationship now, if he really angers a character like Liang Shusheng, they can always come up with a way to make Li Tianyang unable to eat and walk around, and they can also fool Lu Zhang. Not to mention, whether a character like Lu Zhang will really stand up for Li Tianyang afterwards.
But Li Tianyang, who has long seen the true faces of people like Liang Shusheng and them, and has learned too much about what they have done, looks down on this group of hungry wolves who have rotted to the bones. And to be honest, although Li Tianyang is not yet a climate, in his heart, a character like Liang Shusheng is really not in his eyes.
Therefore, Li Tianyang was also tactful to these snakes, and on weekdays, he prepared a gift for the New Year's festival and handed it to the shopkeeper Shi to send to the door to show respect. Fortunately, Liang Shusheng and these people also know that they are powerful, since Li Tianyang has Lu Zhang as a backer, and he has given up most of his business interests knowing how to advance and retreat, and Li De, who doesn't know the details behind him, is there with a pestle, and they can't afford to fight for the remaining little interests.
Therefore, in addition to getting closer to Lu Zhang, Li Tianyang's relationship with the remaining officials in the yamen is actually just an exchange of courtesies.
Now that a Shen Jia and a Yang Guangqiang suddenly showed favor to themselves, how could this not surprise him. What he didn't expect was that when Li Tianyang finished toasting and passed by them, Shen Jiashang whispered a few words in his ear.
"The young owner is so hospitable, I don't know if I will be free after the banquet and deign to talk about the Peony Pavilion?"
Except in Tanmen Village, few adults would speak to Li Tianyang in a tone that was conversational between people of the same age, and even in these words, Li Tianyang felt a hint of a potential leaning posture.
"Since Uncle Shen invites him, how dare that kid disobey!" Li Tianyang responded in a deep voice.
Seeing Shen Jiashang's behavior, Li Tianyang really didn't dare to be careless, he really couldn't imagine that with the shallow friendship between them, there would be something that would make Shen Jiashang and the two find him, a half-grown son. After receiving Li Tianyang's affirmative reply, Shen Jiashang and the others achieved their goal, and quietly raised their wine glasses at Li Tianyang.
However, there are too many people who need Li Tianyang to entertain today, and Li Tianyang has no extra time to think about these problems, so he can only leave it behind and wait for the moment when it will naturally come out.
"Uncle Chen, little nephew, I want to thank you for taking care of our small shop over the years, this glass of water and wine, you can't shirk it anyway."
"Where is this matter, seeing that the young owner is so young and promising, let our group of old guys go home in shame."
Li Tianyang also experienced some exchanges at the dinner table in his previous life, and now he is painting a scoop with a gourd, which can be regarded as doing a good job, making a group of adults temporarily forget that the kid in front of them is a fifteen-year-old young man. Accompanied by beautiful wines, after three rounds of drinking, a group of businessmen who often mingled in the wine field also let go of their bodies and exposed their true character.
Seeing that many guests were full of enthusiasm, Li Tianyang could be regarded as letting go of the stone in his heart. Besides, the purpose of this banquet can be regarded as a complete achievement, and Guan Juxiong, the general manager, is finally familiar in front of these people.
After no burden, Li Tianyang was finally able to relax and eat a good meal. This toast, but let Li Tianyang do it all at once, I'm afraid it will look like two or three catties, if it weren't for the fact that in this era, the high level of liquor can only be regarded as the drink of the peddlers' pawns, Li Tianyang and they still drank it at a low level, I am afraid that he would have drunk him to the ground and been dragged away.
Even so, Li Tianyang didn't get a good one, and now his stomach is being made uncomfortable by these drinks, and he has to find some food to put on the bar, so as not to be ugly.
Before he had eaten a few bites, he found that his cheap mentor had already left the wine table at some point. He hurriedly looked around, hoping to find that familiar figure, the biggest protagonist of today's banquet is his mentor, if he is careless and let his old man go away in frustration, then Li Tianyang will have no place to cry.
Finally, he found the shadow of Lu Zhang and Liang Shusheng talking in the stands outside the restaurant, Li Tianyang couldn't care about eating anymore, Haosheng tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, and walked towards him quickly. When he left, just in time for Liang Shusheng to get some orders from Lu Zhang, he bowed down and left, joining a few familiar businessmen.
The night began to be deep, under the moonlight, the beautiful scenery in front of the restaurant was in full bloom, and a round of bright moon was reflected in the pan pond, with the sparkling waves, fragmented, and returned to whole.
"Hmph, it's really a stubborn stone, I don't know how to learn a good article, and I try my best to fiddle with these sideways." Seeing Li Tianyang coming, Lu Zhang, who admired the beauty, didn't give him a good look and reprimanded him directly.
It seems that Lu Zhang is a little unimpressed by Li Tianyang's act of entertaining this time, I am afraid that Li Tianyang has not taken any action since the county examination three years ago, and has put too much energy into taking care of these general affairs, which is an unwise move to sacrifice the basics.
"The teacher is above, and the student's current action is precisely to get out of these chores." Li Tianyang didn't know why Lu Zhang suddenly reprimanded him, and hurriedly explained to him.
"Since the failure of the government examination three years ago, the students know that there is a sky outside the sky, and with the wisdom of the students, I will put it in the Ming Dynasty, which is just a drop in the ocean, the light of the grain of rice. Three years later, the students still feel that they are inadequate, and they also have a lot of doubts. Li Tianyang opened his eyes and said nonsense, anyway, he Lu Zhang didn't follow him all day long, how do you know what Li Tianyang did.
"If you're confused about your studies, why don't you ask your teacher for advice? Do you think that the knowledge of the teacher cannot teach you? Hearing Li Tianyang's explanation, Lu Zhang's face looked a little better.
"Where is the teacher, but the students know that the teacher, as a county parent, has too many official duties. Students are ashamed that they can't share their worries for their teachers, so how can they dare to disturb their teachers with these things! ”
"Confused! Even if you are busy, you can still spare this time as a teacher! Tell me about you, in the past few years, in addition to the New Year's holidays, how many times have you come to be a teacher with academic problems? ”
"Students know their mistakes and must correct them. However, this time the student also made up his mind, and discussed with the elders in the family, and after a while, he will go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to study, and he must have something to gain before he stops! ”
"Well...... In this way, Suzhou and Hangzhou, where the humanities are prosperous, are also suitable for you to study. Lu Zhang saw that Li Tianyang had finally opened his mind, and knew that he had made progress in learning, so he couldn't help but put down his face.
Lu Zhang has such a attitude, in fact, he is also a person who cherishes talents. Since he met Li Tianyang, he had secretly investigated Li Tianyang, and as a cautious person, it was impossible for Lu Zhang to accept a lot of benefits in a daze. When he knew that Li Tianyang did not rely on adults and only took a group of little children to establish a foundation, he actually couldn't help but be taken aback, thinking that he had found a piece of jade.
Because of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Tianyang differently, and he always beat him from time to time, just hoping that he could embark on the path of a scholar. In addition, he Lu Zhang has always been a good person, otherwise when he was in Huitong County, he would not have built a lot of land and built that Jukui Tower. If he can discover and cultivate a future talent in office, then he can also add a lot of money to his resume.
Not to mention, if he really let Li Tian get ahead and support him as a teacher, wouldn't it be logical? In this overseas island, he Lu Zhang is actually bored, but he doesn't have much money, background, and no points, and it is really difficult to transfer back to the mainland. Even if there is an opportunity, he Lu Zhang is not willing to give up, just to get what he wants one day.
