Shopkeeper Liu looked at Li Lezhi with suspicion, and saw that Li Lezhi was frowning and thinking deeply, and seemed to be unhappy with the woman's words. This look dispelled some of his doubts.
How could he doubt Immortal Li? It was obvious that Immortal Li came to help him. Wait a minute, there must be something he didn't expect. Before the truth came out, it would not be advisable to offend Immortal Li.
Although Manager Liu thought so, the doubts in his heart did not diminish at all.
Li Le only heard someone talking about the young master Gao. He turned his head slightly and took a look. It was a woman passing by with a basket.
Judging from his attire, he is just an ordinary person passing by. It can't be a trap set by someone else.
As for Gao Mingli, perhaps what he said yesterday has been circulated in the streets and alleys. Also, Mr. Gao is a capable man and will definitely not give up such a good publicity opportunity.
The woman must have heard a few words.
Then, Li Le just smiled and said: "Although Gao Mingli is the incarnation of Wenquxing, he has not yet entered school. He is not a scholar who has read all the books of sages. Such a person..."
Li Le had just said this when he caught a glimpse of a scholar holding a book in one hand, who was walking and reading at the same time. He was not afraid of bumping into people and just passed by him.
Li Le immediately looked over, and after examining his face again and again, he turned to Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, the person you want is here."
Um?
Shopkeeper Liu looked up in confusion.
When Li Le simply denied that Gao Mingli was the man of great righteousness, Manager Liu was secretly delighted. He was happy that he did not rashly question the Immortal Li and offend him because of a momentary suspicion.
Suddenly he heard the person Li Shenxian said was coming. He didn't react for a moment. When he looked up, he saw Li Shenxian walking forward a few steps and grabbing a person. Looking at the person's back, Manager Liu felt that he looked familiar.
Like that nerd - Qingyun.
This nerd turned out to be the scholar with a righteous character as Immortal Li mentioned.
Shopkeeper Liu pulled his beard twice and walked towards Li Lezhi with doubt in his heart. He looked at the nerd secretly, but didn't see anything different from usual.
It is useless for Manager Liu to think carefully about the difference between nerds and ordinary people. It is not impossible for such a genuine and pure person to possess a righteous spirit.
After figuring it out, Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: "Immortal Li, even if Qingyun is a scholar, how can I resolve the problems in my store?"
Before Li Lezhi opened his mouth, he heard the lady behind him whispering to someone else, "It's actually a nerd. How could he have such a temper? Isn't it said that people with such a temper are rarer than the top scholar? Could it be that the nerd will be more powerful than the top scholar in the future?"
"It's a righteous spirit. Even nerds can have a righteous spirit. Hey, do you think our children have it? Do they have to be like nerds?"
"Will nerds be able to rise to prominence in the future with that kind of energy?"
"Not necessarily. He was stupid in the past. Even if he had a righteous character, he was kicked out by his family because he couldn't write a good book in the imperial examination. His old man died, and his other relatives are not easy to get along with. He has no land or house. I don't know what his life will be like in the future..."
“…”
Li Le never expected that this scholar with such a righteous character was actually called a nerd and had such a background.
However, this was consistent with what he had thought before. In order to resolve the issue of Shopkeeper Liu, this person had to stay in the store all the time and suppress the little devil with his righteous spirit.
Li Le just said: "This is easy to handle. Just invite this person to stay in your store for three to five years, and the matter will be resolved."
"Thank you, Immortal Li, for telling me," Shopkeeper Liu bowed and smiled. He felt relieved after solving a problem. However, it was not easy to invite a nerd to live in his shop permanently.
Shopkeeper Liu looked towards the nerd, who was still holding the book and muttering, as if he didn't hear what they said. If he hadn't stood in front of the nerd, he would have run away.
Shopkeeper Liu said, "Qingyun."
After shouting twice, there was still no movement from the person in front of him.
He sighed, "Fool, idiot."
In order to talk to Qingyun, Manager Liu had no choice but to take the book from Qingyun's hand.
Qingyun looked up and shouted, "My book, my book."
When he saw his book being put behind his back by a hand, he looked over and saw the face of Shopkeeper Liu. He lowered his head, twisted his sleeves with his hands and whispered, "My book..."
"Qingyun, I have a job here. You just need to stay in my shop. I will guarantee you two meals a day. In the future, I can also buy you any book you want. Are you willing?"
After hearing the book, Qingyun showed little reaction and muttered something, but his voice was so soft that even Manager Liu could not hear it.
Seeing this, Manager Liu stroked his beard and said, "Just nod three times and I'll take that as your agreement."
Before Qingyun could make any move, Shopkeeper Liu pressed his head and nodded three times before returning the book to Qingyun.
Seeing this, Li Le's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say much. For a person as stubborn as Qingyun, he didn't resist even when Manager Liu took away his book. It can be seen that Manager Liu has some friendship with Qingyun.
"Master Li, this is a small gift from me, please accept it," Shopkeeper Liu took out a sachet from his sleeve and handed it to Li Lezhi with both hands.
"this……"
Li Le was just hesitant. He went out to find a job, so how did he get money through the original owner's ability? Should he accept it?
After hesitating for a while, Li Le just sighed in his heart and took it.
This can't be considered as money he got by cheating others. It's the money from incense offerings from Manager Liu. Just consider it as Manager Liu's contribution to the Taoist temple.
…
The matter was settled, and Li Le was just about to say goodbye to Manager Liu so that he could go to another store to see if there was any work he could do.
Suddenly, someone called out from behind: "Master, Master, why didn't you tell me when you came down the mountain? I could have sent someone to pick you up."
The man walked to Li Lezhi's side in three or two steps. It was Gao Mingli who was said by Li Lezhi to be the incarnation of Wenquxing.
Gao Mingli was still wearing a sword and a white robe, looking unrestrained and free, and looking at Li Lezhi with bright eyes.
Li Le was surprised for only a moment, then looked Gao Mingli up and down, and saw that he was full of life and did not look like someone who had been taught a lesson.
Master Gao still showed some mercy. After thinking this, he said, "This is not the place to talk."
"Easy," Gao Mingli glanced at Manager Liu, and immediately took Li Lezhi into Dafulou and chose a private room on the second floor.
Li Le only blinked?
Sitting in the private room of Dafulou?
He glanced at Gao Mingli and said,
Did you finally suppress that sentence?
Since someone invites you to dinner, then he or she is your bread and butter. Why should you be dissatisfied with him or her?
"Master, is there something big happening when you come down the mountain this time?" Gao Mingli asked.
I came down the mountain to work.
Li Le only replied in his heart, and said seriously: "This time I came down the mountain, there is something very important to do."
In the end, he couldn't resist the doubt in his heart and asked, "And you, when did I accept you as my disciple?"
"Master, didn't you say that you would teach me the art of heavenly communication when I passed the imperial examination? Since I am the god of literature, it should be easy for me to pass the imperial examination. What difference does it make if I am called earlier or later?"
Li Le just held the teacup, chuckled, and then slowly said: "Have you learned the Thousand Characters, read the Four Books and Five Classics, and passed the examination for Tongsheng?"
"……?"No.
Gao Mingli had not learned anything and had never taken any examination. He just said those words because he wanted to learn the magic from Li Lezhi so that he could show off to his friends.
Who would have thought that Li Le would ask about this as soon as he opened his mouth.
Gao Mingli had nothing to say, but he didn't want to give up, so he said shamelessly: "Master, since you wanted to teach me the art of heaven before, you must have seen that I am talented and have extraordinary roots... As for me, I will be the top scholar in the future. Calling you old man in advance and being filial to you in advance is also fulfilling my filial piety for my future self."
In ancient times, a teacher is a father for life. Li Le pondered for a while, and what Gao Mingli said really made some sense. However, although he said those things just to deceive Master Gao and save his life, there was already a cause and effect between him and Gao Mingli. At worst, he would accept this apprentice now.
Although Li Lezhi thought so, he did not express his opinion, but tacitly agreed.
Seeing that Li Lezhi did not object, Gao Mingli asked with a smile: "Master, what important matter brought you down the mountain this time?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
"Oh," Gao Mingli shrank back. Thinking that once the secret written in the storybook was leaked, something bad would always happen, Gao Mingli did not dare to ask any more questions.
At this time, the waiter came up with the dishes. The two stopped talking and ate the meal while it was still hot. After finishing the meal, Li Le only drank a few sips of tea before getting up and saying, "I have something important to do. If you have nothing else to do, go home first."
"Master, I will go with you."
Looking at Gao Mingli who was following behind him, Li Le paused slightly and asked how he could maintain the demeanor of a master in front of his apprentice and still find a job.
As soon as Li Lezhi went downstairs, he ran into a group of young people who were about to go upstairs. When they saw Gao Mingli behind Li Lezhi, they immediately shouted, "Gao Mingli."
Gao Mingli looked up and saw that it was his good friend, so he smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
“Of course we are specialized.
The round face looked quite cute. After he finished speaking, he saw Li Lezhi standing in front of Gao Mingli, glanced at him and ignored him.
"I have something to do right now. I need to go do something important with my master."
"Your master?" After hearing this, the young men in front of them all looked at Li Lezhi. The rich young master said, "Is this your master? The Immortal Li? Didn't you say that Immortal Li was a liar?"
The author has something to say
Li Lezhi: Here it comes again, here it comes again...
