048 The second contact with the psychic gem
"It's a bad thing to be like me." Yu Honggao smiled slightly and said to Gao Yongmin, "Xiaguan was proud of his talents and was a bad man. He has suffered too much and is nearly forty years old. His mentality is inevitably different from when he was young.
"
"My dear brother, it's not too late for you to wake up now."
"That's right, that's right." Yang Wenqin, the official from the Ministry of Rites, finally understood that the Yu-Hong High-Speed Railway would definitely rise in popularity because of the appearance of fish farming in rice fields in Daxing County.
In addition, he is Shi Zhongkui's mentor, and scholars will definitely think more highly of him in the future.
In this case, it would be unwise to continue to oppose Yu Honggao just because of the dispute with the Duke of Tui in the ditch.
"My lord, Mr. Yu, was ranked fifth among the top two in the class, and he has been in charge of local government for many years. He not only has good political connections and outstanding political achievements, but also discovered talented people like Shi Xianxi for the court and the world. The court will definitely know how to make good use of them."
This statement was too obvious, but among the people present, except for the young people, the other old guys didn't think there was anything wrong with Yang Wenqin's choice.
Moreover, Yang Wenqin is an official, so as long as he is willing to help, it will be very beneficial to Hong Gao's reputation.
Many people were envious of Yu Honggao's bad luck, but at the same time they sighed and started to agree.
Some people even directly said, "When Nephew Shi Xian reaches high school, we hope that Nephew Shi will be able to assist in agricultural affairs. Once the method of raising fish in rice fields is compiled into a book in three to five years, Nephew Shi will definitely be able to go down in history."
name."
Shi Zhongkui cursed in his heart, he was no novice and knew what he wanted to accomplish in ancient times, so he could never be a hard-working doer.
But there were some words that could only be kept in mind. Shi Zhongkui hurriedly said a few words of humility, which was regarded as perfunctory.
Now the wise man looked at him more highly.
It took everyone decades to realize some truths, but the young man in front of me seemed to be born to be an official, and he would definitely be extraordinary in the future.
With this idea in mind, some people thought and planned to send someone to inquire about Shi Zhongkui's marriage when they returned home.
But I didn't expect that someone was really worried, and started to call Hong Gao in a nonchalant way.
This made Yu Honggao, Shi Guangzhu, and Jia Zheng feel nervous at the same time.
This is because the disciple is so outstanding that some people want to cut him off.
Yu Honggao hurriedly winked at his son Yu Tongfu and housekeeper Yu Fu who were waiting on the side.
Yu Fu understood it as soon as he saw it. He looked past Shi Guangzhu, the real owner, and bowed and said, "Sir, lunch is ready. Do you want to invite the guests to sit down?"
Yu Honggao stood up immediately, cupped his hands in front of everyone and said, "In that case, all you worthy brothers, please don't resent the poor hospitality of Xiaguan Yue's family. Just have some drinks before leaving."
Everyone couldn't help but curse secretly in their hearts. It was better to just say this directly and get out of here after eating.
Some people shook their heads and sighed, losing the opportunity of a good son-in-law, while others became thoughtful.
Since Shi Zhongkui was born in Daxing County, there might be an elder who is senior enough. Even if Hong Gao is his mentor by then, his elders will definitely have a greater say in the matter of marriage.
When they were seated, not to mention that Yu Honggao didn't want Shi Zhongkui to stay at the main seat and be remembered by others. Even if someone really invited him, as a junior, he was not qualified to sit at the main seat, not even in the hall.
He was pulled by Yu Tongfu, and they sat together in the yard to greet the children of the guest family.
Then of course he got entangled with Jia Lian who was taking Jia Baoyu with him.
Shi Zhongkui glanced at the psychic jade, thinking to himself whether this treasure had recovered all its spiritual energy in the past half month.
With his purpose in mind, his attitude towards Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu became enthusiastic.
It was very easy to deal with Jia Lian. I patted my chest and promised to pass on the skills to the Jia family, and then easily drank Jia Lian three bowls of rice wine.
Then he winked at Yu Tongfu. After a while, Jia Lian was so drunk that his face turned red. By the way, Jia Baoyu also drank seven or eight glasses of wine in a row.
Then Shi Zhongkui didn't make it too obvious and set his target on the other people sitting at the same table. Everyone was the same. If they wanted skills, they all had to drink three glasses of wine first.
As soon as we drank the wine, the unfamiliarity among everyone slowly disappeared and the atmosphere became lively.
Shi Zhongkui then chatted with Jia Baoyu about poetry, anecdotes about ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign anecdotes, and wild talk, which not only attracted Jia Baoyu who only liked reading leisurely books, but also greatly increased the interest in the conversation.
Yu Tongfu, Jia Lian and others also focused their attention on him.
Compared with ancient people, the average intelligence of modern people is definitely superior.
But there are by no means a few ancient people who are smarter than individuals and modern people. But when it comes to knowledge, even a high school student may be more knowledgeable than an old official.
There is no need for Shi Zhongkui to brag about the Champa rice that is harvested three times a year, the folding fans from the island countries, Japanese knives, silver mountains, Goryeo's Miji and copper-iron mines.
Although no one present knew about these things, Shi Zhongkui was convinced that records of Yinshan and copper-iron mines had been recorded as early as the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Therefore, he was not worried at all about anyone being suspicious.
Jia Baoyu was only interested in beautiful women, but it was different for others. Shi Zhongkui directly mentioned the matter in books, which immediately made everyone present feel that he was really well-read.
Later, the white giant bear in the far north and the sweat-blooded horse in the Western Regions did not really bleed, but the fur was too light, and the blood only appeared red when sweating.
There were also interesting stories about the ability of wolves to bite each other on the plateau, and about the mastiffs that were loyal to their masters, which attracted people who wanted to travel all over the country to see with their own eyes whether what he said was true.
In this agitated mood, Shi Zhongkui took advantage of him and talked too much. He was thirsty and drank, so everyone had to drink with him.
While drinking, not to mention Jia Baoyu, who was only 12 years old, even Jia Lian and others became dizzy from drinking.
"Brother Bao is drunk."
Everyone followed Shi Zhongkui's words and couldn't help laughing when they saw that Jia Baoyu was confused and couldn't hold the chopsticks steady.
Shi Zhongkui took the opportunity to support Jia Baoyu and turned his head to ask Yu Shun to call the maid to help Jia Baoyu go to the inner courtyard to rest, but his hand easily touched the psychic jade on Jia Baoyu's chest.
Unfortunately, the spiritual energy followed his body again and was sucked into the space of his brain, but the amount was ten times less than last time. The psychic gem trembled slightly again.
In other words, it may take a year and a half to recover.
Shi Zhongkui frowned, and at the same time he was a little worried that the stone would be stolen by him, so he simply flew back to Qinggeng Mountain and hid.
He removed his hand from Tongzhen Baoyu, grabbed Jia Baoyu's arm to steady him, and secretly sighed that the aura of this world was not enough.
He smiled and said to Jia Lian and others, "It's me, isn't it? I forgot that Brother Bao is still young, so his drinking capacity is definitely not as big as mine."
Everyone laughed and even said that it would be fine if they just slept.
Seeing that Jia Baoyu was not completely drunk, Shi Zhongkui felt moved and said to Jia Lian with a smile, "Brother Lian, please help me explain to Uncle Zheng Shi for my younger brother and brother Bao.
