Li Laoer looked at the three old men with white beards standing opposite, with a puzzled look on his face.
He had just entered the court not long ago, and he didn't know much about civil and military officials, and he could barely recognize an official position.
He couldn't tell the names of these three people at all. He only knew that they were from the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin Academy is a place where nobles and nobles, and almost all the first champions of all the years, have settled here.
You have to study for a few years and then go out to serve as an official. After you come back, it will be very easy to climb up.
Isn't there a saying that not every Hanlin will join the cabinet, but every important minister in the cabinet has entered the Hanlin Academy.
Therefore, the Hanlin Academy is the Qingshui Yamen, but no one dares to offend it.
But the three people in front of them are special cases. It is said that they have been studying in the Hanlin Academy for decades and have not been promoted.
I don't know if it's their problem or their persistence.
Li Lao'er is just an idle earl, and he thinks that there is nothing that can stop these three people from crossing the road, and he still has an angry look on his face...
"Three adults, this is..." Li Lao'er's face was full of doubts. As soon as he asked, he was stopped by the person opposite. Three old men interrupted.
An old man with a white beard asked loudly and full of indignation, "Uncle Li, the Li family has been favored by the emperor and climbed from a small peasant family to its current position. Shouldn't they be grateful, unite with their colleagues, and work together for Tianwu?" "
Why do you say that, sir?" Li Laoer asked instead without answering.
The white-bearded old man became even more angry and responded, "You, the Li family, have almost killed the morale of Wang University because of your personal grudges. I really can't stand it, so I have to talk to you. You can't go all the way in life." , otherwise you will be trapped in death, it is your own fault!"
Li Laoer was unhappy after hearing this, and sneered, "This old man, I can't even call you by your name, I'm really not familiar with you. I don't know what your reason is. My identity taught me a lesson like this!
"You keep saying that I have done everything right and am in deep trouble. So, sir, tell me, what wrong thing have I done that makes people angry?" "
"I already said that! You have made the morale of Wang University sick! "The old man stared, very dissatisfied with Li Laoer's contempt.
"Is the Grand Scholar Wang sick? What does that have to do with me? Did I hit him or scold him? "Li Laoer became more and more impatient. Seeing that the officials around him stopped to watch the fun, he raised his voice even more.
"My lord, you said that our Li family has received great favor from the emperor, so we walked into the court from a farm gate. Yes, our Li family is extremely grateful and loyal to the Emperor. Every time we plant a melon or a fruit, we will give the first bite to the Emperor first.
"Although our power is meager, our whole family, and even the entire Broken Gold Beach, are wholeheartedly loyal to the Emperor. But you also said that you asked me to be patient and unite with Grand Scholar Wang. This is outrageous!
"Don't you think that the Emperor's grace should not be loyal to the Emperor ? , but instead want to be loyal to Grand Scholar Wang? Is Grand Scholar Wang the emperor? "
"you you! I did not mean that! "The white-bearded old man was anxious. He wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't.
But the companion next to him said, "Uncle Li is really sharp-tongued! We just had good intentions and came here to say a few words, but we made you so unhappy that you actually labeled us as disloyal and disrespectful!
"Disfaithful and disrespectful? " Li Laoer sneered and responded, "The boss is right, you are just disloyal and disrespectful!" A certain Wang University scholar is sick, and you came to me for no reason and scolded me for not uniting with my colleagues!
"Where do you start talking about this? Is it Li Yusheng's problem who gets sick in the future? I have been granted the title of Zhongshan Bo by the emperor's grace. Which of you is higher than me? You actually point at my nose and yell? This is disrespectful. !
"Now the barbarians in Jiangbei are eyeing you and the treasury is empty. You don't want to share the emperor's worries and contribute to Tianwu. Instead, you come to attack your colleagues inexplicably. You are disloyal!"
"How can such disloyal and disrespectful people come out and talk nonsense! Are you officials of Tianwu or dogs raised by the Wang family?"
The faces of the three elders could no longer be described as black, they were so red that they turned purple. "You, you! You are so vicious!"
This is the entrance to the palace. In full view of everyone, the news will definitely spread to the palace and reach the emperor's ears. How can they face the emperor at that time?
This is going to cut off their official line!
Li Laoer, however, flicked his sleeves and said disdainfully, "You can only live a good life. If you don't work as a good official, you have to be someone else's lackey. No wonder the old saying goes, all the books of sages are read into the dog's belly! It's absolutely true!
" After that, he turned around and left. When he found Mr. Wen in the distance, they got into the carriage together.
Mr. Wen smiled and patted Li Laoer on the shoulder, "Haha, I knew that if you don't go and help, you will never suffer. That's right. These old guys think very highly of themselves and want to give a few words to everyone they meet. The reputation in the court has long been bad.
"Previously, the Wang family's reputation plummeted because of your eldest brother's incident. Wang Bowei made great efforts to win over them, but they didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was high, so they came here today to seek your misfortune! Li
Laoer rolled his eyes and said, "They are picking on the weak!" Look at me for bullying!
"That's what they planned. It's a pity that they hit the wall! " Mr. Wen was overjoyed and responded, "I'm afraid no one in the court will dare to bully you in the future. You are such a talkative person!"
Li Laoer spread his hands and said with a helpless smile, "I also want to respect the elders, but they don't behave themselves! " "
The two were chatting and laughing, and the carriage quickly arrived at the small courtyard. After changing into official uniforms, Li Laoer went back to Suijintan.
This was also the last court meeting before the year, and the next one will be after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Counting inside and outside . Suddenly, he had a month's vacation, which was really happy.
On the way, he bought a lot of snacks, candied fruits, candied roasted chestnuts, and candied haws for his nieces and nephews at home!
Sure enough, as soon as he got off the car, he He was surrounded by smiling nephews, blocking the way in.
Jiayin was wrapped like a cotton ball, and was also carried on his shoulders by Jiayi, smiling so hard that he showed his little white teeth.
Li Laoer hurriedly got all the snacks and food He came down and handed it to his nephews as money for his trip.
So, the boys screamed happily, some holding snack boxes, some grabbing candied haws, and some carrying candied roasted chestnuts. In short, the division of labor was clear and they quickly ran back to the West House to divide the spoils. .
Mr. Li was left hanging in front of the door with empty hands, funny and helpless.
Mrs. Li saw her in the door and greeted, "Second brother, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Come in quickly!" Mom is making ginger soup, drink a bowl quickly!
"Hey, here it comes! " "Li Lao Er hurriedly entered the door and couldn't help but sigh, it's great to have a mother!
Unfortunately, he was not happy for a while. After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, he was kicked out by his mother.
"Let's go to the valley for a walk. I want to make a list of New Year's gifts at home. ,Busy now. "
Old Mrs. Li waved her hands, then called her two daughters-in-law and one grandson-in-law to discuss.
Li Lao Er had no choice but to go out.
But Jiayin ran out of the west room, raised her feet and stuffed a candied fruit into the second uncle's mouth. , and then entered the east room with a smile.
When Mrs. Li saw her granddaughter coming, she hugged her and put her on the bed, and asked, "Fu Niu'er, let's do the math, why should each family's New Year's gift be given away?" It is best to have ten baskets of fruits and vegetables. what do you think? "
