The jade pillar cupped his hands and said: "I am actually Tong Jia's jade pillar, under the Manchu yellow banner."
"Well, you can't choose where you come from. I just like your cheerful spirit. In the academy, there are a bunch of bitter scholars who look down on this and that all day long. As a result, studying hard does not mean they want to be an official of the Qing Dynasty.
You look like a bunch of hypocrites, what a villain." The black-faced scholar suddenly smiled and introduced himself, "I am Wu Sidao, whose nickname is Yulu. Hehe, I chose the name myself."
Yuzhu blinked and looked at Wu Sidao calmly, but secretly sighed in his heart.
Hehe, what a coincidence, I just met Dai Duo a few days ago, and now he has become Wu Sidao's classmate again.
This world is so small!
In other words, Wu Sidao is not an ordinary person, but a Shaoxing master with deep intentions. Only by treating him with sincerity can he win over.
"I haven't said anything yet, so Brother Wu can just call me Yuzhu."
Wu Sidao directly said that he chose the name in private, which seemed very sincere, and Yuzhu also unequivocally extended an olive branch.
The two told each other how old they were. Wu Sidao was born in the 26th year of Kangxi, and he is 18 years old this year. Yuzhu was born in the 29th year of Kangxi, and he is 15 years old this year. Wu Sidao is the eldest son.
"There is no class in the afternoon, so we each study our books. I wonder where my dear brother wants to go?" Wu Sidao's words made Yuzhu feel very happy.
Great, Yuzhu was instantly fond of Jiuhua Academy, and he just took the opportunity to digest the scripture annotations taught by the teacher in the morning.
"Brother Yulu, it's already noon, why don't you go to the humble house for a few drinks?" Yuzhu smiled and invited Wu Sidao to his place as a guest.
Influenced by the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty", Yuzhu particularly admired Wu Sidao, who was so wise that he was almost a demon. He knew his dark history very well.
Wu Sidao in history lost his father when he was young and his family was extremely poor. His widowed mother was very far-sighted and gritted her teeth to sew for others, weave and raise chickens, and barely sent him to a private school.
However, fate played a trick on Wu Sidao. He passed the college examination five times and the provincial examination four times, but failed repeatedly. Finally, forced to make a living, he became a Shaoxing master hired by Tian Wenjing.
Who was Yuzhu? When he saw Wu Sidao taking the initiative to strike up a conversation, he guessed his little intention of trying to get a favor.
It's noon, and my stomach is growling with hunger. If you don't go home quickly for dinner, do you still have time to chat with someone?
A penny stumps a heroic man!
People under the eaves have to bow their heads!
Even when Nurhachi, the leader of the slave establishment, had no strength, he still had to kneel down and lick Li Chengliang’s ass, and call him grandpa affectionately!
No matter what kind of hero you are, before you can fully mature your wings, no matter how capable you are, you must first learn to bow your head.
In the past, Yuzhu was also a bitter tragedy. He was the third of five brothers in the family. His father did not care for him and his mother did not love him. He was a typical abandoned child in the family.
If it weren't for his grandfather secretly stuffing money, he wouldn't even be able to raise the living expenses for college, which would be terrible.
Later, after Yuzhu became the deputy county magistrate, his parents had to ask his opinion first before making a decision on any big or small matter at home.
In human society, strength is king. Even among close relatives, the person with the most powerful position is respected, and the rich have the final say. Yuzhu’s understanding is really profound.
Wu Sidao wanted to pretend to be coy. However, he really didn’t have any money for food in his pocket. If he pretended to have a problem, he would continue to be hungry.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Wu Sidao had been hungry for a day and a half, and he didn't have the guts to gamble, so he simply agreed to Yuzhu's invitation.
Yuzhu accompanied Wu Sidao outside. Wu Jiang and Wu Sheng quickly packed up the various objects on the desk and followed him lightly.
"Brother Xian, the house you rent outside the academy?"
When they first met, Wu Sidao followed Yuzhu to have a meal. He felt somewhat guilty and could only find something to say when he had nothing to say.
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "My mother was worried that my little brother would suffer hardship outside, so she sent a large group of servants to follow him. Alas, there is no way to accommodate them without renting several houses alone."
"Oh, my father's love for his son is really admirable. My mother worked hard to raise me and provide me with education, but I have accomplished nothing so far. I am really ashamed."
Wu Sidao is already eighteen years old. Not only does he support his mother in old age, but he can't even keep his stomach full. He should feel ashamed.
Yuzhu heard Wu Sidao's frustration and comforted him with a smile: "A man waits for the time to come. Once the time comes, Brother Wu will become a great man."
This is not a random consolation.
Just because Tian Wenjing, the governor of Henan, obeyed Wu Sidao's words and even alarmed Emperor Yongzheng, is it enough to show how arrogant and arrogant Wu Sidao really is?
"Alas, thank you for your comfort, brother Xian. Brother Yu feels that he is very useless."
Wu Sidao also saw that Yuzhu was not only not as domineering as the Eight Banners disciples, but also extremely considerate and was indeed a very easy person to get along with.
After arriving at Yuzhu's residence, Wu Sidao saw Lin Yan'er squatting down to salute. He immediately opened his mouth and was dumbfounded.
Is there such a beautiful woman in this world?
"Get up, this is my classmate Yulu brother, you can call him Wu Gongzi from now on." Yuzhu specially told Lin Yan'er not to neglect Wu Sidao.
Yuzhu knew well that before Wu Sidao became famous, he was a typical country bumpkin who had never seen the world at all.
Only when you are talented can you know etiquette. If you don’t even have enough food to eat, talking about quality is simply nonsense.
In "Water Margin", Xiao Xuanfeng Chaijin took in the down-and-out Wu Song, not only providing free food and lodging, but also giving extra money and gifts.
However, just because Chai Jin's attitude was somewhat condescending, Wu Song hated him.
This lesson is extremely profound.
The kindness of rice rises, and the hatred of stone and rice. If you are sincere, I will not deceive you!
Yuzhu naturally understands that if you show kindness to the poor and needy people, if your attitude is slightly disrespectful, it will easily arouse jealousy.
If I had known that I would turn against you, why would I bother myself and show mercy instead of causing trouble?
"My servant pays homage to Mr. Wu, and may Mr. Wu be blessed." Lin Yan'er has received a complete etiquette education. She bows with her skirt folded in a proper manner, her manners are dignified and generous, and extremely decent.
"It can't be done, it can't be done, how can it be done?" Wu Sidao hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Lin Yan'er's salute.
He was here to have a meal, but he was treated so politely by Yuzhu. He really couldn't afford the so-called Mr. Wu's airs.
"To be honest, Mr. Wu, my second master rarely brings friends to our house, and Mr. Wu is the first one. From this, it can be seen that Mr. Wu must be a young and talented man with real abilities. Although this slave has not read any books,
But he also knows how to respect the talented young master."
Oh, what Lin Yaner said was so beautiful that it made Wu Sidao feel very comfortable.
Yuzhu felt more or less proud in his heart. His woman was not only very beautiful, but also very educated, and she was also very sharp-tongued. Hehe, he found a treasure!
"Go and tell the kitchen to prepare some more delicious dishes to go with the wine since distinguished guests are here." Yuzhu made an excuse and sent Lin Yan'er away.
Wu Sidao, who had been staring at Lin Yan'er, finally woke up. His face turned red and he was too embarrassed to say anything. He lowered his head and was confused.
Yuzhu is actually completely understandable. This is like being a loyal fan of Liu Yifei who suddenly meets a real person, and it is inevitable that he will lose his temper.
