Chapter 446: All the books of sages have been read like crazy!

Chapter 446: All the books of sages have been read like crazy!

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. He could barely recognize an official position.

He couldn't tell the names of these three people. 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 scholars of the imperial examinations, have settled here.

After studying for a few years and then being sent out to serve as an official, it will be very easy to climb up the ladder after you come back.

Isn’t there a saying that not every Hanlin member 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 Laoer is just an idle earl. 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 Laoer looked puzzled. As soon as he asked, he was interrupted by the three elders opposite.

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 it’s your own fault to fall into death!”

Li Laoer was unhappy when he heard this and sneered, "Sir, I can't even call you by your name. I'm really not familiar with you. I don't know in what capacity you are teaching 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 told you! You have damaged the morale of Wang University!” The old man glared, very dissatisfied with Li Laoer’s slight.

"Master Wang is 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.

"Old man, you said that our Li family has received great favor from the emperor, so we entered the court from a farm gate. Yes, our Li family is extremely grateful to the emperor, and we are also loyal to him. Every melon and every fruit we plant, The first bite is given to the emperor first.

“Although our strength is meager, our whole family, and even the entire Ruijintan, are all devoted to the emperor. But you also said that you should be patient and unite with Grand Scholar Wang. This is outrageous!

“Does it mean that the emperor is so kind that we should not be loyal to the emperor, but should be loyal to the great scholar Wang? Is the great scholar Wang the emperor?”

"You, you! I didn't mean that!" The white-bearded old man was anxious and wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't.

On the contrary, the companion next to him said, "Uncle Li is really sharp! We were just kind-hearted and came to say a few words, but we made you so unhappy that you actually labeled us as disloyal and disrespectful!"

"Disloyal and disrespectful?" Li Laoer sneered and replied, "The boss is right, you are just disloyal and disrespectful! When a certain Wang University scholar is sick, you came to me for no reason and scolded me for not uniting with my colleagues. Got it!

"Where do you start talking about this? Is it the fault of me, Li Yusheng, 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 without any reason. You are disloyal!

“How can such disloyal and disrespectful people come out and speak 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 reach the palace and reach the emperor's ears. How can they face the emperor in court?

This is going to cut off their official path!

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!"

With that said, 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. He has already gained a bad reputation in the court.

“Previously, the reputation of the Wang family has plummeted because of your eldest brother’s incident. Wang Bowei has made great efforts to win over them, but they don’t know what the sky is and the earth is high, so they came here to seek your misfortune today!”

Li Laoer rolled his eyes and said, "They are just picking on the weak! They look at me for bullying!"

“That’s what they planned, but 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 chatted and laughed, and the carriage quickly arrived at the small courtyard. After changing into official uniforms, Li Laoer went back to Broken Gold Beach.

This is also the last major court meeting before the year, and the next one will be after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Thinking about it, he has a month's vacation, which is 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 out of the car, he was surrounded by his smiling nephews, blocking the way in.

The good news was wrapped like a cotton ball and carried on Jiayi's shoulders, smiling so brightly that he showed his small white teeth.

Li Laoer quickly took down all the snacks and food and gave them to his nephews as money for his trip.

Thereupon, the boys howled with joy. Some were holding snack boxes, some were grabbing candied haws, and some were carrying candied chestnuts. In short, the division of labor was clear and they quickly ran back to the West Room to share the spoils.

Li Laoer was left hanging in front of the door, his hands empty, funny and helpless.

Old Mrs. Li saw her at the door and called out, "Second brother, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Come in quickly! Mom is making **** soup, drink a bowl quickly!"

“Hey, here we come!” 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 **** soup, he was kicked out by his mother.

"Let's go to the valley for a walk. I have to make a list of New Year's gifts at home and I'm busy."

Old Mrs. Li waved her hands, then called her two daughters-in-law and one grandson-in-law to discuss.

Li Laoer had no choice but to go out.

With good news, he ran out of the west room, put his feet up 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 kang. She asked, "Fu Niu'er, let's do the math. Each family's New Year's gift requires seven or eight baskets of fruits, and preferably vegetables." Ten baskets. What do you think?"
