Chapter 187
"Oh, sirs, please come back, please come back." The butler looked bitter and bowed to the officials surrounding the door.
An official said: "Mr. The butler, the official heard that Mr. Zhou was sick, so he came to visit him. He also asked the butler to report it to him."
"Yes, yes. Mr. Zhou was worried about state affairs and eventually became ill. When we colleagues heard about this, we came to visit Mr. Zhou when we got off the court.
Unexpectedly, you didn't let me in. If Mr. Zhou knew about it and blamed him, can you afford it?" Another official saw that it was useless to tell him a good word, so he used his power.
The housekeeper saluted and said, "Sir, you have blamed us wrongly. We servants, how dare we take our own actions? Mr. Zhou ordered that he was sick and wanted to be quiet and could not see guests. It was really helpless.
Dear sirs, please think about it. Mr. Zhou and you are ministers in the same palace. They look up and see you. If you don’t have any choice, you wouldn’t have done this.
Isn’t this offending you all? Mr. Zhou wants to apologize to you all, but the younger one is slight, and he doesn’t speak much. If you all think that you are not worth enough, when Mr. Zhou’s illness is cured, Mr. Zhou will apologize to you in person.
”
"You butler is really good. You can't spill water and needles can't be inserted. Whoever gets a butler like you will be unlucky?" An official complained.
The butler is very good at speaking and said, "My master has taught her a lesson. The young man is not talented, and she is respected by Mr. Zhou and is accepted as a butler. If the adult has a good candidate, please tell Mr. Zhou, so that the young man can be given a virtuous person."
"Hey, you're still arrogant, don't you just say it? Are you there?" An official with a slightly hot temper yelled.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Every family has a difficult sutra. I think everyone has a difficult sutra. The housekeeper has a difficult sutra. The housekeeper has a difficult sutra. The housekeeper has a difficult problem. You said, "An official came out to smooth things over.
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Thank you, my elders, I am grateful for it."
The official took out a ingot of gold, followed the way down, and said, "Butler, please accept this little thing. This is our wish. Please have a drink."
The housekeeper shook his hands and said, "Sir, don't do this. Even if Xiaodi wants to accept it, he doesn't have the courage to do so. Who doesn't know that Mr. Zhou's mansion comes to the door to pay for it and does not charge a penny. Last time, a servant was ignorant.
After collecting ten taels of silver, he made a board for Mr. Zhou and was kicked out. The young man still had to rely on this job to support his family. He really didn't dare to accept it. Please forgive me."
The official is still waiting for another sentence. A cheer sounded and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhou is well-disciplined, and Li Si admires him."
The butler looked closely. He saw Li Si wearing a green hat, surrounded by two servants, and hurriedly greeted him, saying, "I have seen Lord Li."
The number of officials here is Li Si's largest. The officials hurriedly saluted Li Si and said, "Mr. Li, are you here to see Mr. Zhou?"
Li Si clarified: "Dear sirs, Li Si and Mr. Zhou met in common. This friendship is extraordinary. Li Si heard that Mr. Zhou was sick, so he came to visit Mr. Zhou.
Li Si and Mr. Zhou have been in love for many years. If Li Si doesn’t come to visit Mr. Zhou, you still won’t talk behind my back, saying that I, Li Si, are ruthless and unrighteous.”
"Mr. Li is so serious, how dare I wait?" The official hurriedly explained.
Li Si smiled and said, "Sir, please listen to Li Si's advice. Mr. Zhou is sick. It is not convenient to see guests. You have so many people, Mr. Zhou meets each other. He is not sick and has caused illness. Please come back, sir."
"Mr. Li, you... don't have such a reason." The official was dissatisfied.
Li Si explained: "My dear sirs, Li Si has taken it on behalf of Mr. Zhou. I will go to see Mr. Zhou now and tell Mr. Zhou about your kindness. Is it okay now?"
"This..." The officials didn't know what to do.
Li Si said threateningly: "Please think about it, you know that I, Li Si and Mr. Zhou, are you going to say that I think Mr. Zhou will give me some face, but you won't give me Li Si's face, right?"
Although he scolded the King of Qin in the court, the foundation that had not yet shaken his was still the popular man in front of the King of Qin. The officials hesitated for a while and said, "Since that's the case, it's a blessing for Lord Li, and we'll take his leave." He bowed.
The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to thank him and said, "Thank you, Lord Li. If it weren't for Lord Li's help, the young man wouldn't know how to end it."
Li Si replied, "Butler, there is no need to be too polite. Please report to the housekeeper and say that I, Li Si, are here to visit."
The housekeeper stood still and said, "Mr. Zhou must be grateful for Mr. Li's kindness. But Mr. Zhou said that he would not see anyone, so please forgive me."
Li Si's idea was to first say that the officials would be withdrawn. In that case, there would be fewer people. Zhou Chong would definitely meet him. Unexpectedly, the butler said such words. He was incredible and said, "What did you say? Mr. Zhou doesn't even see me?"
The housekeeper could speak and said, "Mr. Li misunderstood. Mr. Zhou said that he would not see anyone, but he did not say that he would not see Master Li."
"That's good, you go and report it, I'll wait here." Li Si was satisfied with the butler's answer.
The housekeeper looked bitter and said, "Mr. Li, don't be embarrassed by the small ones. The small ones really want to report to the big ones, but Mr. Zhou has strict orders first and does not allow the small ones to report to the small ones."
"Butler, you have your difficulties, Li Si understands. But you have to think clearly that my friendship with Mr. Zhou is different from ordinary people. If you block my support, can you afford it in the future?" Li Si's face sank and he asked.
The housekeeper said helplessly: "Mr. Li, please say something unrestrained, that will be a matter for the future. If the young man would report it to Mr. Li now, he would not be able to afford it now.
Mr. Zhou has already given the Little Ten Big Boards, so that the Little One has a long memory. Mr. Zhou said that if anyone goes to report, he will not remember well. He will hit the Little One and be kicked out. He will be embarrassed. Please forgive me if you want to give me a message.”
"Have you really hit you?" Li Si was a little unbelievable. It's no wonder. There is no reason to hit someone if he makes a mistake. It's not okay to be surprised if he doesn't.
The housekeeper and the servants said in unison: "Yes, Lord Li. Our butts still hurt now."
Li Si looked at the mansion, his face changed, and finally sighed and said, "Since that's the case, I won't be difficult for you. Please tell Mr. Zhou about the news of Li Si's visit. Goodbye." He strides away.
In the room, Chunyu Jue asked a little puzzledly: "My husband, Li Si and you are a commoner. This friendship is different from others. You don't even see him. This is too unreasonable."
Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Are you blaming me for being unreasonable? Then you are wronged. Li Si scolded the king in the court, thinking that his future was over, and he was nervous, so he came to discuss it with me."
"Then you should see him even more." Chunyu Jue said expectantly: "If you don't help him, no one will help him."
Zhou Chong smiled and said, "How could he know that the king is caring for him."
"Care? Is there such a reason to scold the ministers in front of them as care?" Chunyu Jue was even more puzzled.
Zhou Chong explained: "This is the emperor's mind, you will know in the future. Li Si is quick-witted, but he is a person in the game and can't understand it, so he came to me."
Chunyu Jue said with great hope: "My husband, if Brother Mao comes to find you, you won't see you, right? He is your life-long friend. It's really unreasonable if you don't see you."
