Chapter 133 Enjoying a Peaceful Life
"Boss, we've lost them again." A thin beggar wiped the sweat from his face. "Let's have someone block off the two alleys over there tomorrow."
Gou Zi's face was gloomy. "Damn it, he's a rabbit. He runs so fast. The road is blocked. I don't believe we can't find him."
Li Baisong and Pan He, who had changed their clothes and washed their faces, swaggered past the two men.
"Sir, drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health. Let's not go buy some wine today."
Pan He patted Li Baisong lightly and said, "If you don't buy me some wine, I won't be able to sleep tonight. I won't have the energy to teach you tomorrow. Have you learned everything I taught you today?"
Li Baisong rubbed his forehead and said, "Sir, my mother said, don't let people hit you on the head, it will make you stupid. If you hit your disciples stupidly, there will be no one to serve you."
"Nonsense, I'll just take in another smart and clever one."
The two men walked away while talking, and Gou Zi and the skinny beggar next to them glanced at them.
"Boss, what are you looking at?" Does the boss want to see if the person has been beaten stupid so that he can become someone's disciple?
Having wine to drink every day makes life so happy.
Gouzi hit the little beggar with a hammer and said, "What do you care about?"
"Boss, Boss, something bad has happened."
A little beggar ran towards them.
"What are you rushing for?"
"Boss, Gou Wa and Xiao Zhuzi are missing. They went to West Street at noon. I just looked around but couldn't find them. Boss, could it be that they got something good and ran away quietly?"
"What good things can we get? It's just a bowl of rotten vegetables. Who knows where to hide and eat it." Gou Zi said and swallowed his saliva. They have been in Guangyi County for nearly half a year.
It's relatively safe here, but it's really poor. It's not easy to get beaten, but it's also not easy to get food.
In the past, they could get things in the provincial capital, but they had to fight with others every few days and were almost beaten to death. Only then did he take a dozen people and flee south.
Although their lives are worthless, it is better to live a miserable life than to die.
"Wait until they come back and lock themselves outside for a night before they dare to eat alone."
Hook walked back with a sneer.
When Pan He and Li Baisong returned to the Pan residence, they couldn't help laughing. "Hahaha, this is fun, fun. Baisong, how long do you think it will take for them to discover us?"
Li Baisong was very upset.
"Then does the gentleman want to be discovered or not?"
"These people are just pimps. Your Second Senior Brother wanted to resettle them, but they agreed and then ran away. They're just wandering around like this all day, it's heartbreaking to see them. It would be better to put them in the fields and plant some more rice seedlings."
"Sir, it's past the rice planting season.
"I mean next year's seedlings."
"Didn't you say earlier that those ruffians were annoying people by teasing cats and dogs? Are you planning to ask them to help plant the rice seedlings next year?"
"Those are the precious little bumps of the family."
"Sir, I actually have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"
"Hmm?" Pan He looked at Li Baisong.
"Sir, do you still remember the stories I told you? How about we write a few storybooks together? Anyway, you're just sleeping when you have nothing to do."
Pan He threw a paper ball at Li Baisong's head, but Li Baisong dodged it by turning his head nimbly. Another paper ball was thrown at him, and Li Baisong dodged again.
A pile of paper balls flew over and Pan He rushed over to hold down Li Baisong's shoulders.
Pa pa pa pa, the paper ball hit his face. Pan He was satisfied and clapped his hands.
"Let's go, I'll be waiting for you."
Li Bosong laughed, "I knew you were the best, sir."
Pan He: “…”
"Sir, I'm actually looking for someone to make some toys for my kids. Sir, would you like to open a shop quietly?"
Pan He paused and asked earnestly, "Do you want to be a scholar stained with the stink of money?"
He had lived a hard life before, and he knew that money is something outside of one's body. He also knew that without money, one could not move forward.
If those poor children who make a fortune after passing the imperial examinations had a way to make money while they were studying, would they have fewer worries and embarrassments after entering officialdom, would they be less coerced and do more practical things for the people?
Li Bosong paused, then looked at Pan He with a determined gaze, "Sir, if I want to do this, will you blame me?"
Pan He looked at his young disciple with a sullen face, "If I can't say for sure, what will you do?"
Li Bosong bowed and said, "Then I will try my best to convince you, sir."
"for example……"
"Master, you need money to buy wine. If Second Brother has money, he can do more for the people. And Big Brother, the frontier is cold and bitter, and training soldiers for war is always necessary."
"Sir, money is not a bad thing. It's the human heart that is bad. There are ways to make money and a limit to how much you can earn."
"But human hearts are fickle. Driven by interests, human desires can grow and become uncontrollable."
"So, sir, we need to study and learn etiquette, to be wise, to use our heads to control our hearts, rather than letting our heads get carried away by our desires."
"What if that person becomes even more evil after studying and understanding etiquette?"
"Sir, I have no way of guaranteeing anything. I can only guarantee myself that I won't be someone who is led by desire."
"You just said you can't guarantee anything, so how can you guarantee yourself? Isn't that contradictory?"
Li Bosong said, "Sir, I am your student. If you don't have confidence in your students, then you don't have confidence in yourself. If that's the case, why did you accept me as your student?"
"How can you guarantee that your students won't go astray in the future?"
"gentlemen……"
Pan He: “…”
Okay, okay, in the end the clown is actually himself, right?
Deng Wenyan, who was standing at the door, burst out laughing.
Sir, you have met your match.
Deng Wenyan raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Pan He became serious for a second.
"Second Brother." Li Baisong greeted him obediently.
Deng Wenyan smiled and said, "Sir, Junior Brother, it's time for dinner."
"Let's go and eat first."
Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping. This is the rule Li Baisong learned at Pan's house.
Of course, this rule is not difficult for him to learn now.
The three masters and apprentices ate quietly, rinsed their mouths, and then moved to the flower hall to talk.
"Junior brother is here. If you need anything, just tell Changxi."
Li Baisong got Pan He's consent and looked at Deng Wenyan with a smile, "Second Brother, I want to find a few carpenters to be stationed in the back room. I have a few gadgets I want to try."
"Okay, Changxi will help you find someone tomorrow."
Li Baisong bowed, "Thank you, Second Brother."
Li Baisong was ready to go, as he wanted to make small educational toys for children.
Make money from rich kids.
If he makes money, mother won't have to work so hard. When he passes the imperial examination, mother can become an old lady and enjoy a comfortable life without having to worry about food and clothing.
Qin Fangci, who was still unable to enjoy a peaceful night, slept for three hours. When she woke up, it was already late at night and everyone else in the family had gone to bed.
Boss Li was yawning and waiting for Qin Fangci.
