Huang Taigong ran all the way with crutches. After two blocks, he came to the craftsman's area, which he usually didn't look at, that is, the so-called civilian area
The Li family also knew that when they didn't make a fortune in the past, they also knew each other from generation to generation, so when he came to the Li family's yard, he found that there were people inside and outside, and everyone was watching.
So Huang Taigong squeezed in to see what everyone was watching.
The Li family's yard is still the dilapidated yard, but now it's different from before. What's the difference? It just looks a lot cleaner. In addition, in the past, everyone was in a mess, sitting on the stool with one foot on the stool, and then everyone bragged, chatted and drank tea together.
But now there is a difference, that is, Master Li sits upright in the middle of the yard, and others stand carefully. In addition, these people are careful, all groveling, and all smiles are flattering. No one dares to be shy to him anymore.
Like Huang Taigong, there are some exceptions for people who are shy of stomach, so they are special and different. Everyone's attention can't help but focus on him.
Huang Taigong himself didn't think there was any problem. He looked at Master Li's blue official clothes.
A military officer is a product of Kirin, two lions, three leopards, four tigers, five bears, six products, * eight products, and nine products. The other is embroidered with a tiger.
At this time, the admiration of Huang Taigong even flowed down his mouth. What is master Li? I couldn't even eat before, but now I'm an official.
However, others nodded and bowed and bowed, making Huang Taigong, who was shy and with a crutch, look a little different. Master Li coughed and said, "Wu, the old man is Huang Silang?"
Huang Taigong is responsible for making cannons for generations, but he always bullies craftsmen and is arrogant, so his reputation is not very good. His name is Huang Silang, but others call him a weasel. In the craftsmen 'circle in the capital, he is also a person with head and face. He is very angry when the other party calls his name directly. Since he retired, his son took his place again, Their Huang family is very rich. Who dares to call his name like this is very disrespectful. He was about to get angry, but he remembered that the other party was wearing seven grade official clothes.
He didn't dare to do it. He bowed and said, "I've seen you, sir."
In terms of seniority and status, Huang Taigong is far more than Master Li. The other party usually bows and bows and smiles when they see him. Now they call him by name. Huang Taigong salutes him. He just nods as if he didn't see him.
Master Li is a craftsman. He wears seven grade official clothes and sits on the seat. His father and mother sit next to him and listen to him.
Master Li said to him, "my son will leave for Fushan as an official the day after tomorrow. If you two old people have nothing to do at home, you will have a good and happy life for thousands of years. You can buy what you should buy and eat what you should eat. If you have anything to do, you can go to the Liu family in the south of the city. They will be responsible for solving your worries and difficulties."
He was very arrogant and spoke to his parents in a commanding tone, but considering that he had an official body and his parents were white, others felt that there was nothing wrong.
Originally, Huang Taigong was so proud of each other that he was very upset. If he had spit in the past at ordinary times, would a stupid loser dare to be rude to me? But the other party is now a seven grade official. If he dares to be rude to the other party, the other party can give an order, order left and right, and beat him with a stick for 50, so he repeatedly flattered him and said, "little old man has seen Lord Li."
Master Li, he just looked at each other and said, "it's Tai Gong Huang. You're here to see tea."
The shelf is big enough, which is big enough. The Li family is too poor. Their family is so poor that they don't even have tea. The tea cup is just that Master Li's son took a sea bowl with a gap and filled it with a bowl of water with yellow leaves, which is regarded as tea.
Huang Taigong quickly smiled and said, "don't dare, small don't dare." he gave the little plum ten copper coins, and then he carefully took the tea and drank it. He only felt extremely bitter and didn't know what kind of tea it was.
Little plum, he took ten copper plates. He was so happy. His lucky money for the new year was just one copper plate. Ten copper plates could buy how many ice sugar gourds. He was happy, but his father Master Li scolded and shouted, "kneel down."
Little plum was scolded by his father, startled, and hurriedly knelt down at a loss. Master Li rushed to him, slapped him in the face and scolded: "shameless beasts, we are also official people. We dare to take other people's reward. You don't want face. I still want face?"
Master Li was so angry that the little plum was scolded and confused. Huang Taigong was also embarrassed. People in the yard pointed out that Huang Taigong didn't know how long his face was and what his identity was. He dared to reward other officials' money as a white man. Didn't he hit others' face? It's shameless to have a few money. I don't know my last name? This is a great disrespect to the imperial court.
Huang Taigong's face was red, but he still had the courage to ask, "Lord Li, you are an official now. Where can you be high?"
Master Li bowed his hand in the direction of Shandong very solemnly. He said, "no, I'm the general guard of Jimo camp in Shandong. I'm appreciated by Lord Liu Bu and Liu. I'm appointed as a hundred family officials. I'm leaving for office today. What advice can I give, old prince Huang?"
He was condescending, but old prince Huang died. Old prince Huang said quickly, "no! No! What qualification does little old man have to dare to tell Lord Li?"
Master Li pointed out that he had official clothes on his body and was a little dismissive of the other party. He said: "Huang Dalang of your family said frankly that he didn't want face. Adults paid a lot of money and hired him. He didn't pay attention to it. He didn't do an official. He was happy to be a harp dog in front of the petty officials of the Ministry of work. I abandoned it."
Huang Taigong was said by the other party that his face was red and repeatedly said yes, and this is not to say that it is a direct reprimand.
Although the other party is a junior, he is an official and an official of the imperial court, but he eats him to death. Don't say it's sarcasm and scolding him, it's no problem to push him out to fight a few big boards.
After this time, Huang Taigong realized that even if you have more money, the official is the official and the people are the people. No matter how rich you are, you are still just a businessman. If an official asks you to kneel, you will kneel.
Huang Taigong suffered a great injustice here, and his tears flowed down. He trotted all the way home, but found that Zhou Chang was gone. He felt like a big fat meat in front of him, but he didn't know how to cherish it. He let him fly away. It was heartache like a knife. At this time, he saw his son drinking tea comfortably in the hall, and he was very angry.
Huang Taigong came in with a crutch. He swung his crutch and hit Huang Dong on his head. While beating, he scolded: "what a beast, what a beast."
Huang Dong was beaten by his father for no reason. He was stunned and said, "why did you hit me? Why did you hit me?"
Huang Taigong was even more angry. He gave birth to such a stupid son. If an official didn't do it, he would be a rich man. If he promised to be an official, now I am the father of the seventh grade official. Master Li wouldn't dare to be so rude to him, so he wouldn't have to be humiliated in vain.
Huang Taigong said majestically, "beast, kneel down."
Huang Dong was very angry when he saw his father. He thought that he had inadvertently offended his father? He always lived under his father's prestige, and now he is no exception. At his father's command, he immediately knelt respectfully in front of his father.
Huang Taigong said angrily, "don't kneel! I'll kneel in front of my ancestors."
Huang Dong was shocked. He said, "what happened to my father? You have to give me an explanation. You let me die and let me die to understand?"
Huang Taigong was very angry and said, "I ask you, did the people of the Liu family in Shandong come to persuade you to work for the Liu family?"
Huang Dong said disapprovingly, "the Liu family is just a local tyrant in Shandong. It's fantastic that a local tyrant wants his son to work for him."
When Huang Taigong heard that his son dared to speak like this, he was so angry that he didn't fight once and hit another stick with a stick.
Huang Dong was very wronged. He asked, "why do you hit me?"
Huang Taigong said angrily, "do you know what jobs Li Wenshan and Zhang Yi do? They went to the Liu family and were appointed as Baihu Guan of Qipin. Do you know what Baihu official is? That's official status?"
Huang Dong said to him, "seven grade officials? Just seven grade officials in a small place. They are not as free as their son?"
Huang Taigong was very angry. He scolded directly: "what a beast dare to talk back. Do you know what is an official agriculture, industry and Commerce? Is it the lowest official or an official? People just look at you and beat you for nothing. How dare you despise you?"
His father scolded so badly that Huang Dong didn't dare to answer back. What's the value of a military attache in a small place? I still don't agree with my father's statement. He eats well and lives well here. Why should he go to that small place in Shandong to suffer?
Huang Taigong said bitterly, "you're a little steward in the work department. It's a bad brain. You don't even go when someone asks you to be an official? You know how dignified Li Wenshan and Zhang Yi are now. They are wearing seven grade official clothes. They're very dignified. I visited them just now. I was insulted by him."
