Chapter 55
"Do you know what you said last night?" During breakfast, Li Xiao looked at Ao Ye who was slurping and drinking porridge, and his head hurt with anger.
"I forgot! I really forgot! I drank a lot yesterday, and those two Jin Yiwei brothers are really good. They don't act sly when drinking, they are real people. The quality of wine depends on the character, and I think these two brothers are good people.
What did I say?"
Li Xiao wanted to hit his head on the table, but he gave up the idea because it hurt so much.
"You almost stole our Pidao's family fortune, oh! When you were arguing with Xiaobai, you also talked about what happened in your bed with Sister Qiao."
"Cough...!!" Ao Canghai spit out the porridge from his mouth, looked at Li Xiao, and the thick porridge was still dripping from his nose.
"Xiao Bai said you're too soft, so you're useless!" Li Hu was very comfortable chewing on the steamed buns and drinking the porridge, except that he couldn't hold the pickles as they were all sprayed with condiments by Ao Canghai.
"Holy shit!" Mr. Ao suddenly jumped up and rushed into the yard to settle the score with that flat-haired beast.
"When did Xiaobai say that?"
"Just treat it as Xiaobai said it, it won't talk back!"
"Pah!" Li Hu received a slap on the back of his head.
Although they were in the capital, they still needed to drill. The weather was neither cold nor hot, and the soldiers from Pidao were divided into several teams in the yard.
Squats, sit-ups, frog jumps, push-ups! The novel exercise method attracted many people to watch. They didn't understand what these soldiers were doing.
In fact, Li Xiao pays more attention to long-distance running in his usual training. What a pity! This is in the capital, and the Deshengmenwai Street has various official sedans passing by from time to time. For those officials who don’t know shit and have extremely developed saliva to see it, this letter is offensive.
The bullets are inevitable.
Who the hell cares about his military appearance when he is running? He is not a big girl. What is wrong with running shirtless? It means that our brother is in good health!
The people in the post house are already accustomed to the eccentricities of these soldiers. The guys in the cooking team chatted with the people in the post house while picking vegetables. The servants in the post house also helped pick vegetables, just for the sake of lunch.
I can have a meal with you when I'm there.
In these days, poor families still had two meals a day. Lunch was something only the rich could afford. These people from Liaodong seemed quite wealthy, and the soldiers could have three meals a day. They all had rice. In the morning
Although the porridge is thin, it is eaten with steamed buns. The steamed buns are white and plump, and the skin on the outside of the steamed buns seems to be wrapped in a film.
The scalp of the steamed bun exudes a shiny luster. Not to mention eating it, you just like it just by looking at it.
There are not many servants in the post house who can eat this kind of fine white flour.
For lunch, we had pork stewed with cabbage, salted radish strips, and rice. A few servants shamelessly carried old bowls and joined in the cooking class to eat and drink together. It is not easy for these postmen. It takes only a month.
It is difficult to support the family with the child's salary. If you can have a good time here, you will have less to eat when you go home.
Li Xiao also turned a blind eye. They are all poor people who only eat one bite. For themselves, it is a meal, and for them, the money saved may be a piece of clothing for their children. Give these
If you do good things to people, they will remember you. If you give Zhao Nanxing a silk dress, they will definitely be thrown out.
Every time more dogs are slaughtered due to loyalty! It’s because these people are really poor, and they will keep it in their hearts even if others give them some good things.
Those wealthy businessmen, no matter how much you give them, it is just a small thing. They will never take it seriously because they have too much.
Mr. Ao, who was eating with a bowl in hand, didn't seem to have much of an appetite. It didn't seem to have anything to do with being drunk last night. I spent the whole morning looking for bad luck with the flat-haired beast. Unfortunately, he couldn't fly but he couldn't. He chased but couldn't catch up, so he could only stare.
Son. You can't really shoot him with a gun. If Xiaoyu knows that Xiaobai was shot to death by Master Ao, Master Ao will definitely become a public enemy of Pi Island. The tigress at home is definitely more terrifying than Xiaobai.
exist.
"Forget it, Master Ao! What a big deal, even if you really caught that thief bird, would you really strip it off and stew it? Who would believe what a bird says." Seeing Master Ao's worried look
, Li Xiao really couldn't bear it.
"How can I live in front of so many people?" Ao Canghai said helplessly.
"You're just fooling around anyway. Don't get too drunk tonight. Last night, those were the words they used to trick you. Please be sure to keep your mouth shut tonight. We are not the same as them. When something happens, it's still the same."
It's better to save it!" Li Xiao still has a deep grudge against Wei Zhongxian and his group.
Master Ao doesn’t know what “Those Things of the Ming Dynasty” is, and of course he has never heard of Eunuch Wei’s deeds. People like Xu Xianchun, Cui Yingyuan, etc. seem pretty good to Master Ao. He thinks they are friends we can make, at least they drink good wine.
.According to the theory that character is judged by wine, these two are really real people.
"I also think that Eunuch Wei treats us well. We offended Zhao Shangshu, and he provided us with protection. Yesterday, he sent someone to deliver a bag of golden melon seeds. This is a sign of kindness to us. We are in front of Eunuch Wei.
Even for an official as big as a mustard seed, we have to keep the respect given to us." Mao Wenlong also felt that Eunuch Wei was a good person.
In Mao Wenlong's eyes, Eunuch Wei was indeed a good person. He should also be a good person. Normal people think this way.
Li Xiao thought about it for a long time, but could not think of anything to refute the two of them. No wonder that a few years later, the Donglin Party was in decline, and the eunuch Party led by Wei Zhongxian was growing day by day.
Look at Wei Zhongxian, he wants money for money and official position for official position. It is hard to dislike Eunuch Wei who is so down-to-earth.
But if you look at the Donglin Party, Mao Wenlong went to meet him with the etiquette of a junior. In the end, he was disappointed and even scolded Mao Wenlong for not being his father's son. After all, he was flaunting the label of a scholar, but he had to show some officialdom.
It's etiquette. Until now, Li Xiao and Mao Wenlong can't figure out why the Donglin Party, headed by Zhao Nanxing, has such an attitude towards them.
"The affairs of the imperial court are politics, and no one can say for sure about politics. We are a small family, and you also said that we are officials as big as mustard seeds. Don't get involved in other people's big officials. We can accompany you when you are in a good mood.
You play for a while. If you are not in a good mood, you will turn over and we will become a photo.
Mr. Mao, you should have heard that there are no evergreen trees in official circles. Those of us who are not smart enough should stay away. We cannot afford to play politics!"
"You don't have enough brains. If you stick your hair on it, you'll be a monkey." Ao Canghai muttered while picking up the rice.
"What Brother Xiao said makes sense! Master Wanli had a party government at that time, and there was a lot of chaos in the court. Today you are in power, and tomorrow he is in charge. We little people, if we fall into the wrong trap, we will be in doom." Mao Wenlong nodded.
, I fully agree with Li Xiao’s words.
"Brother, I won't go there tonight. I'm jealous of you drinking, so I'd better stay in the post house!" Li Hu glanced at the empty space and interjected.
"Okay, just stay in the post house. Don't run around, it's not peaceful outside. Do you understand?"
"I understand, brother, don't worry!"
