The thirty-five official ambitions

The Blood Pig Head returned to its starting point. It was funny. When he was in his prime, I didn't have any feelings for him, but I suddenly fell in love with him recently. The thoughts he wrote when he was thirty years old had written all the mood of a writer facing his thirties. After reading the bitterness shown by laughter and scolding, it seemed like I was looking at my own voice. At that time, I wanted to write something to reconcile, but there was no place to start.

Although he shouldn't need the support of a floppy writer like me, I'd better give me a shout and please support him in "Xiaoxing Ji".

The above words are beyond five thousand words and do not occupy the starting point coins.

——————————

Yan Shifan's reaction to Xia Yan summoning Li Yanzhi was similar to what Li Yanzhi expected. His attitude towards Li Yanzhi was still smiling, and he asked Xia Yan straightforwardly what to do for him.

Li Yan said straight: "Old Master Xia heard from somewhere that he knew something about the sea, so he called me to ask."

Yan Shifan asked about the details, but Li Yanzhi did not hide it, so he told Li Yanzhi what he asked correctly. He thought that there were many people in Xiyuan at that time, so it was difficult to guarantee that Yan Song had no suspicion, so he did not lie. After hearing this, Yan Shifan looked even more happy and smiled at Li Yan: "What do you think of Xia Erlangzi?"

Li Yan snorted and said, "Geor Xia is good at everything, but his eyes are too high and he looks down on others!"

Yan Shifan smiled and said, "Brother Li is just a small juren. How could Xia Yan take it seriously? To put it inappropriately, look at the entire capital, only I have the wise eye to recognize Brother Li is not a thing in the pool!"

Li Yanzhi hurriedly said: "Young Master Yan praised it."

"It's not a false praise, it's not a false praise." Yan Shifan smiled and said, "In today's court, people are indifferent. If you talk about heroes, there are only four ranks of people!"

Li Yanzhi said oh, saying, "This statement is very fresh, I would like to hear it carefully!"

Yan Shifan smiled but said without saying a word, "I'll eat wine first." Then he ordered a banquet, and he escaped from Xia Yan's hands. However, he was arrogant and unwilling to give up enjoyment in the suspect situation. He arranged a banquet on the bed. There was no need to say how rich the wine and food were. There were sixteen girls in two or eight, all of them were beautiful, and they said to Li Yan proudly: "My concubines are not bad, aren't they?"

Li Yanzhi smiled faintly and said, "No, not bad."

Yan Shifan asked him to choose first, and Li Yan said straight: "Brother Yan's concubine, why can you do it?" Yan Shifan laughed and scolded Li Yan said straight: "Brother Li, you are hypocritical! Just a woman, not my wife! These are all virgins, and I have never touched them yet."

Li Yanzhi refused, Yan Shifan was displeased and said, "How can we not have a drinker for us?" Seeing that Li Yanzhi refused to choose, he pretended to be disgusted, clapped his hands, and five more young men came up, but they were five extremely handsome boys. Yan Shifan pointed and smiled, "I have heard that Fujian's male style is the most popular. Brother Li must like this tune. I heard that you often bring a book boy around you, so it's not easy to come..."

Li Yanzhi frowned and coughed quickly, saying, "I am a young book, but I am a martial artist." Because he attracted a concubine to come forward, he said, "Since the Yan family has such rules, I have to follow the customs."

Yan Shifan was overjoyed and said, "Brother Li is indeed not a pedantic person!" He then ordered the music to dance.

The concubine sat next to Li Yanzhi as soon as she approached. Yan Shifan was drinking while watching what he did, but saw Li Yanzhi reaching out to pinch her feet at a certain position. The concubine screamed, her eyes closed, and her whole body fell softly in Li Yanzhi's arms. Li Yanzhi fed her with the wine. While saying to Yan Shifan, "Brother Yan, this kid is indeed a young man, you have not trained it well."

Yan Shifan's eyes lit up and he praised: "Brother, you are indeed a veteran!"

Li Yanzhi sighed and said, "There is nothing fun in Yuegang, Fujian. I am lonely when I am idle. I think there are only five ways for entertainers, and this is one of them."

Yan Shifan asked: "What are two more? Don't tell me that it is writing poetry and essays!"

"What's so fun!" Li Yan said straight: "Although the way to bed is pleasant, if a man has this seven-foot body, he should hold a knife and hold a sword, kill the bandits in the mountains, and chase the enemy on the sea. When his blood is boiling, he will have joy that is beyond the ability of the bed." As he said, he looked at Yan Shifan's reaction.

Yan Shifan shook his head and closed his eyes, disagreed, and asked again: "What else?"

Li Yan said bluntly: "Gathering talented children and teaching them so that they can inherit my ambitions. I not only regard them as my hands and feet, but also hope that they have their own ideas, because I know that only in this way can my ideas last longer than my skin."

Yan Shifan covered his nose and said, "Bored, bored!" and asked the third question again.

Li Yanzhi said: "Gather wealth and goods to fulfill my heart and to fulfill my desires."

Yan Shifan then laughed and said, "This is quite interesting. What else?"

Li Yan said straight: "No more."

Yan Shifan said: "Isn't there another one?"

Li Yan counted it straightforwardly, and there were only four, and laughed and said, "I just made a fool of myself, but I calculated the number wrongly."

Yan Shifan laughed and said, "If this is the case, I will punish you three cups!"

Li Yan drank until he drank the glass without any ambiguity, and asked, "Brother Yan just said that there are four heroes in the world, but I don't know which four?"

Yan Shifan smiled and said, "I just calculated it wrong, but in fact there are only three and a half." He pointed at himself and said, "I am one of them." He pointed at Li Yan and said, "Brother Li is that half."

Li Yanzhi said oh, and said, "Brother Yan respects me so much." There was a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

The two discussed some bedding matters and parted with joy. Yan Shifan also gave the drunk concubine to Li Yanzhi, but Li Yanzhi did not refuse.

After he left, Yan Song turned out from behind and shook his head and said, "This child is worth spending so much effort?"

Yan Shifan laughed and said, "I thought he was also a personal figure. I didn't expect that his belly was still pedantic. It's an era now, so why do you still have to educate talents? Do you think he is the King of Cheng, Zhu, and Lu? It's okay to be greedy for money, but he likes martial arts. It seems that he is just a talented person. However, he can tell that he is a good person and has good ability to make money. He is generous. If he can try this time, he might as well let him go to the southeast to become a county magistrate. After a few years of experience, it may be useful in the future."

Yan Song narrowed his eyes and looked at the door again and again, as if Li Yanzhi was still there, and suddenly said, "Donglou, I didn't take him seriously, but after you said this, I feel that he was just typing you!"

Yan Shifan was stunned and then woke up and said, "This pig! How dare he play this trick with me!" He pondered: "It seems that the fifth way he didn't say is probably something that is similar to Xia Erlangzi! This person is very clear-headed and slightest, and he knows ten points of his eyes. It's not easy to do something that can be done with seven points of strength! Then... maybe this time it was not Xia Yan summoned him, but he tried to summon Xia Yan! If he really had such ability and Xia Yan didn't know the treasure, then he would be blind!"

Yan Song asked, "Then what are you going to deal with him?"

Yan Shifan thought for a while and said with a smile: "This kid is still very useful, and he is quite tactful. He can train and train. He just needs to suppress and suppress first, and then he can be called obedient!" Then he said to him: "It's better to suppress him first in this subject."

Yan Song also laughed, still so gentle: "No, no, if you really think this person is useful and suppress his subject, wouldn't he go back to Fujian? At that time, you can't control him anymore. How can you suppress him and train him?"

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable!" Yan Shifan smiled and said, "Then this subject can't suppress him, but he must also praise him and ensure that he can enter the officialdom! First, I praise him high, wait for him to enter the officialdom, and then ignore him for a few years, which makes him panic. At that time, we will let us roll and flatten him!"

Li Yanzhi left Yan's mansion and returned to the spice shop and refused guests. He had no power and reputation in the capital, and the people in the scholars would not come to visit. Those who would visit were all merchants. He then moved out of the capital and went to Xishan to find a remote temple to study.

Autumn is over and winter is coming. After a light snow this day, a visitor came to the remote temple. Li Yan went out and saw that it was Miss Lu! The two met at the mountain pavilion outside the mountain gate. Miss Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Li, did you not miss your studies?"

"I've been wrong, I've been wrong!" Li Yan said straight: "When you come, I'll definitely not see Duke Zhou in my dream tonight."

Miss Lu was secretly happy when she heard this. Yier yelled and said, "I can't tell that a person who is usually serious is also slick!" Miss Lu's face was annoyed, and she beat Yier away with a smile. She looked back at Li Yanzhi and said, "If you disturb you from studying, I won't come in the future!"

Li Yanzhi said, "Then I would rather not read it!"

Miss Lu smiled and said, "If you don't study, what should you do if you have a test after the spring?"

Li Yanzhi said: "I am not an official for the sake of the merits, nor for the sake of being an official. If it delays more important things for the sake of the merits, I would rather not take it. Besides, even if I study hard every day now, I may not be able to pass the exam next year."

"Don't worry!" Ms. Lu said: "As long as you can achieve your level in the provincial examination this time, you will definitely be able to go there. Everyone will help you when the time comes."

"Everyone?"

Miss Lu smiled and said, "You have dealt with Yan Shifan, right?"

Li Yan went straight to find Yan Shifan, and went there secretly, but he didn't do much secretly. It would be easy for the Lu family to know his whereabouts in the capital with the power of the Lu family.

Miss Lu said again: "You have also gone to the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. A few days later, Master Xia summoned you to ask, "I'm afraid there is some connection between these two things, right?"

Li Yanzhi was a little surprised, but then he felt relieved and said, "Not bad."

Miss Lu approached a little and whispered: "You went to find Yan Shifan and Xia Yan again. What do you want to do? Are you seeking wealth? A big umbrella blocked the wind and rain, and at the same time, she held two big umbrellas but she was soaked all over! Li Lang, don't you understand this principle?"

The sound of "Li Lang" was like a mosquito speech, almost unheard, but Li Yanzhi could hear it clearly. Seeing Miss Lu's cheeks flushed, it seemed sweet and shy, but there was also worry in her eyes. At this point, Li Yanzhi felt that his chest was hot, so how could he not trust her? Then he said, "I went to find Yan Shifan, the old man from Xia Ge, for his own fame and fortune."

"Why... is that?"

"The farmers, workers, and merchants in several southeastern provinces have been banned from the sea for a long time." Li Yanzhi hesitated for a long time and finally confessed: "Whether I go out to sea to fight pirates or go to Beijing to take the exam, it's all for this."

Miss Lu shouted, her eyes widened, and her expression was worried and afraid, but there was also some appreciation in her worries and fear. She lived in Lu Bing's palm and lived at the foot of the emperor for a long time. How could she experience the sufferings of the people in the southeast? But there was one thing she knew: "Li Lang, do you know that this is a taboo today? It doesn't matter if you want to get promoted and make a fortune, but this matter..."

"I know it's not easy to deal with," Li Yan sighed, "But I have decided to do my best."

Miss Lu asked, "Then don't you think about your safety and future?"

Li Yanzhi said with a sneer and said, "I don't care about the future or something. I'm just a comfortable life in this world. I don't have to be a high-ranking official. I have a lot of money at home, which is enough for me to live comfortably. As for safety, I'm not the one who is desperate. Even if I do this, I will try to protect myself."

Miss Lu said oh, saying, "I thought you would say that you would do whatever you want to do for the country and the people."

"I haven't reached that level." Li Yan sighed, "but I'm disappointed."

"No!" Miss Lu said, "I'm not disappointed. If you really say that, I turned around and left!"

She had been standing for a long time, and her legs were sore. Li Yan swept away the snow on the stone bench and took off her robe and asked her to sit down. Miss Lu was not polite, so she sat down, supported her hands and asked, "Then Li Lang, you have to do this, but now you have to do it. Can you wait? Can you bear it?"

Li Yanzhi asked: "What are you doing now? So what if you can bear it?"

Miss Lu said, "If you must do it now, then I can tell you that it will not be successful, and there will be a big disaster. But if you can wait and endure it, then follow the rules of the officialdom, first protect yourself, gain fame, and have power in your hands, so that you can speak. Or when the situation changes at that time, you can still choose to do it or not."

Li Yanzhi said happily: "Miss is really my soulmate! The same is true for what I think in my heart."

Miss Lu smiled and said, "If you have the will to do this, then you have to listen to my advice in the future. Don't go there again, Xia Yan, he will not listen to you. Keep a distance from Yan Mansion and Lu Mansion, and even the current emperor. Of course, the benefits are to be taken, but after getting the benefits, if necessary, you might as well do something contrary to it, but this measure must be grasped just right."

Li Yan understood the first half of her advice, but couldn't understand the second half, and asked: "Do you keep a distance from Yan's Mansion and Lu Mansion?"

"Yes." Miss Lu said: "Although the Lord of the Nine Five, if you want to accomplish your career, you cannot just follow the Lord's will, and sometimes you will lose things. As for the Yan Mansion, if you get too close to them, it will hinder your official voice and will also ruin your business."

When Li Yan heard this, he felt that Miss Lu's knowledge was far beyond his expectations, so he asked, "What should I do?"

Miss Lu said, "The holy heart is unpredictable. I can't explain it clearly on the side of the emperor. Li Lang has to think about it slowly. As for the Yan Mansion, Li Lang, do you know that Yan Shifan had just quietly visited my house yesterday? What do you think he is here to do?"

Even though there was no one in the mountains, Li Yanzhi lowered his voice and said, "It's for Mr. Xia, right?"

Miss Lu saw that he guessed correctly, but she didn't seem surprised. She just nodded and said, "I knew Li Lang would definitely guess. Now that you know this news, what are you going to do?" Li Yan said straight: "I moved to Xishan just to study with peace of mind."

Miss Lu was overjoyed and said, "Yes, it should be like this! I feel relieved!" She said, "This time Yan Shifan came, and I eavesdropped behind the curtain. Although what he told my father was not your business, he mentioned you three times. Being thinking about this person may not be a good thing!"

Li Yan was stunned and smiled bitterly: "It's really not a good thing. It seems that my exam is in a way."

"No!" Miss Lu said: "I know Yan Shifan quite well. I think he will not only not block Li Lang's path to officialdom, but may also help, and it is unknown."

Li Yanzhi said: "Why is this?"

Miss Lu said, "If you fail the exam, you will have to go back to Fujian? How much power does Yan Shifan have in the local area? If you go back, he will not be able to control you. Since he values ​​you now, I think he will try to help you, one to be kind to you, and the other to be bound to the capital, polish you and force you to move closer to him!"

Li Yanzhi smiled bitterly and said, "I think I'd better not pass this subject after hearing what you said."

"If you want to pass the exam, why not!" Ms. Lu said: "Wild beasts should prevent traps for food, and fish should prevent hooks for food. But if you know where the trap hook is, you might as well eat his bait, but don't get into his trap and don't get into his hook! If Yan Shifan wants to help you, let him help! As for him to torture you in the future, huh, he has a plan for Zhang Liang, and we have a wall ladder. Yan Shifan will not touch you within a year and a half. After a year and a half, who would say what the situation is in the capital?" (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in.
