Chapter 312 The drunkard's intention is not to drink
ps: I have been on a business trip this week, and the time is very unstable, so I can't post on time. I'm really sorry, today's chapter.
"coming."
Cai Jing glanced at Li Qi and saw that he was dumbfounded. It seemed that he had expected this expression. He smiled and said towards the door: "Come in."
There was a creak, and when the maid opened the door, she saw a graceful and graceful woman walking in from the outside. She wore light makeup, eyes full of water, looking forward to her appearance, jade skin, and temples like dark clouds.
, flowers bloom on lotus steps, and her appearance eclipses the surrounding candlelight.
She came to Cai Jing, bowed gracefully, opened her red lips slightly, and suddenly showed her white teeth, and said: "Feng Yinu meets the Grand Master."
This woman is Feng Yinu, who can make people feel stunning every time she appears. She and Li Shishi are the only ones in the huge capital.
Cai Jing smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Feng Niang does not need to be polite."
Feng Yinu stood up, his bright eyes suddenly turned to Li Qi who was still there, and said with a smile: "Commander Ma, you're fine." His tone was very indifferent.
I was fine at first, but I felt so sick when I saw you. Li Qi was slightly startled and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Feng Xingshou."
Since the last donation, Li Qi has never seen Feng Yinu again. The busy days made him almost forget about this woman with whom he had a brief physical relationship. However, today Feng Yinu's sudden appearance
The appearance really surprised him.
"Ms. Feng, please sit down."
Cai Jing stretched out his hand, and after Feng Yinu sat down, he turned to Li Qi and said, "Li Qi, how about this teacher I recruited?" His tone was very proud. Who can recruit Feng Yinu now?
Something worth bragging about.
Teacher? omg. The most popular head of the department in Beijing becomes a teacher. Grandpa Buddha, stop teasing me. This joke is really big!
Li Qi suddenly had a scene in his mind of Madonna wearing a see-through costume standing on the podium teaching primary school students. What must this be? This woman and the teacher are incompatible with each other. It looks weird no matter what.
What kind of trouble is this silly girl going to make!
Seeing that Li Qi was silent, Cai Jing frowned and shouted: "Li Qi, Li Qi."
Li Qi was startled, then he forced out a smile and said, "Master, are you kidding me?"
Before Cai Jing could speak, Feng Yinu, who was sitting opposite Li Qi, suddenly interrupted: "What? Does Deputy Commander Ma think this is ridiculous?"
Day, you don't have to be like this. I'm not mocking you. Li Qi said angrily: "I didn't say that."
Cai Jing also noticed that Li Qi looked strange and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Feng Yinu's eyes flashed and he looked sideways at Li Qi.
Of course it’s not appropriate! Does your mother think that I’m not busy enough and you are deliberately creating difficulties for me? When this girl comes, those young men who haven’t been running to the academy all day, especially Gao Yanei, will probably be excited to do good.
If I come here to study, I might as well open a noble academy to make money.
Li Qi wanted to say what was in his heart, but after the last lesson, he thought about it carefully, lest Feng Yinu hit him with money again so early in the morning. It was enough that he had experienced this once.
There was no shortage of money. He coughed lightly and said, "With all due respect, Feng Xingshou is a female classmate after all. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to become a teacher."
Feng Yinu snorted and said, "These words are really hypocritical coming from your mouth."
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Feng Xingshou mean?"
Feng Yinu said calmly: "From the bartender in Zuixianju to Qiniang and Hong Niangzi taking charge of the charity foundation and Sister Wang coming out to take over Zuixianju, you arranged all of this. Why didn't you say they were
A female prostitute? Also, the notice you sent out did not mention that women are not allowed to come for interviews. It can be seen that you have no objection to women becoming teachers at all. Ask yourself, is the statement you just made very true?
hypocritical."
Damn it! I’m trying to give you face, okay? Don’t be shameless. Let me tell you the truth. You said I insulted you again, so I’ll say it in a roundabout way. You also said I’m hypocritical. I’m not a human inside and out. Really?
I have never seen such a difficult woman to take care of.
Li Qi was secretly angry. Seeing Li Qi's unhappy expression, Cai Jing hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Ms. Feng, Li Qi is also thinking about you, so you can't blame him."
Did you see that they are so reasonable and reasonable, not like you? Li Qi glanced at Feng Yinu angrily, and heard Cai Jing say: "But Li Qi, based on my understanding of you, you shouldn't care about this.
Otherwise, I would have just rejected Feng Xingshou."
It seems that my free and easy and informal image is already known to everyone. I can't blame them, it's all my fault for being too outstanding.
"The Grand Master is right. I do not object to women coming to our academy."
When Li Qi said this, he glanced at Feng Yinu uneasily. As he expected, Feng Yinu's face was filled with contempt. Damn it, even if you win, I'm a hypocrite.
.Changing the topic, he added: "However, the teacher's duty is to teach and educate people. It is not easy to do it. You must devote yourself to it. Even your words and deeds must be cautious and careful, because there are many children.
I'm watching you. If you don't do well, you will mislead the disciples. This is a serious sin. And Feng Xingshou is usually so busy that it is impossible to stay in the academy all the time. This is not a good teacher.
of."
"Well, what you said makes some sense."
Cai Jing nodded slightly and gave Feng Yinu two questioning looks. He really didn't think too much about it before. He only thought that being able to invite Feng Yinu as a teacher was something worthy of showing off, and he
The reputation of the college has also increased greatly, which is very consistent with his character of being eager for success. Now after listening to Li Qi's words, I realized that I was a little careless.
Feng Yinu smiled and said: "As for this, Vice Admiral Ma, you can rest assured. During the oiran election at the end of the year, I will step down. Then I can devote myself to the academy as Deputy Admiral Ma said.
"
Day. You are really determined. In order to be this teacher, you are willing to give up all the things that a geisha dreams of. I am convinced. Li Qi doesn't understand Feng Yinu's thoughts.
"oh?"
When Cai Jing heard that Feng Yinu would retire from the position of head of the hall, he couldn't help being shocked and said: "Ms. Feng, are you serious about this?"
Feng Yinu nodded and said: "It's absolutely true, how dare Yinu deceive the Grand Master."
Cai Jing sighed and said, "If that's true, wouldn't it be hard for me to hear Lady Feng's sweet voice again?"
Feng Yinu nodded and smiled apologetically.
"Li Qi, what do you think?" Cai Jing asked.
She has said so, what else can I do? If I reject her, you will say later that I will not give you face. Li Qi said lightly: "Master, you are the helmsman of this college, these things are naturally your responsibility
It’s up to you.”
Feng Yinu suddenly stood up, saluted in front of the Grand Master and said: "Grand Master, Yinu feels that running a college is a very serious matter. So Yinu hopes to follow the rules and enter the college in a dignified manner. If not,
I am afraid that I will be blamed in the future and bring trouble to the Grand Master, so I also ask the Grand Master to agree to Yinu."
Cai Jing said in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Feng Yinu turned to Li Qi and said seriously: "I hope that, like the others, Deputy Commander Ma will interview me. If I am really not strong enough, then I will not force it."
Cai Jing was slightly stunned, then asked Li Qi: "Li Qi, what do you think?"
Hey. I let you go, but you still come to my door. You really think I'm a soft persimmon! Li Qi raised the corner of his mouth and gave Feng Yinu a smile that was so charming that it cost him his life, but the latter immediately released his 300-watt high power.
Li Qi, who was almost electrocuted by the voltage, couldn't help himself and quickly collected himself. He smiled and said: "I have no objection!"
Since the two of them had no objections, Cai Jing would naturally not object. He nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's do as you say. Having said that, I also want to see how Li Qi recruits teachers."
Feng Yinu seemed impatient and turned to Li Qi and asked, "Deputy Commander Ma, can we start now?"
Cai Jing suddenly raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute, Li Qi has been busy all afternoon today. He hasn't eaten yet, so how about this. Let's talk about it after eating. --- By the way, Li Qi, there happens to be a piece of beef in the kitchen.
you---."
Li Qi quickly interrupted him and said: "Master, you just ate the roasted quail, so you must be very full. I will make a fish head and tofu soup later to help the master digest it."
Cai Jing was stunned, and a flash of fire flashed in his eyes, but he also knew that even if he put a knife on Li Qi's neck, Li Qi would not make beef for him to eat. He would only argue with red faces and finally succumb to Li Qi.
Under Qi's power, he was embarrassed in front of Feng Yinu. He rarely turned his cloudy eyes and said with a smile: "It's OK, I haven't eaten this fish head and tofu soup before. It must be very delicious, but -
-It’s just that Lady Feng is here too. Isn’t this soup dish too little?”
Old guy, are you trying to play this trick with me? Go ahead and dream. Li Qi doesn’t know what Cai Jing means. Once this dish is served, how can he keep an eye on Cai Jing. He pondered for a moment and already had a countermeasure in his mind. He turned around.
Looking at Feng Yinu, seeing a strange look on his face, I thought to myself, was she eavesdropping outside the door just now? This is good, let her know that Cai Jing can't suppress me, so that she won't be arrogant in front of me in the future. She smiled and said
: "Feng Xingshou, do you like steak?"
Feng Yinu was stunned, nodded and said, "I don't care."
Steak?
Cai Jing wiped his mouth subconsciously, and his gastric juices rose rapidly. He liked steak very much. After the excitement, he suddenly realized and immediately understood Li Qi's intention. This steak was a plate for each person, not for everyone to eat together.
Even when the food was served, he could only stare and curse in his heart, you are so unkind, you feed me tofu while you eat beef, it is really unreasonable.
Seeing Cai Jing's painful expression, Li Qi secretly laughed in his heart, stood up and said, "Master, I'll go down first."
The two battled wits and courage, but Cai Jing was defeated every time. This made him distressed and helpless. He waved his hands angrily without even thinking about opening his mouth.
Li Qi and Feng Yinu both showed a strange smile.
Li Qi and Cai Yong came to the kitchen, and first they caught the cook who made roast quail for Cai Jing. This cook was named Niu Dawei, and he was good at barbecue. Although his name was domineering, he was very timid. Li Qi knew this.
No wonder he did it. If Cai Jing didn't tell him to do it, he wouldn't dare to do it. But now he had no choice but to operate on him and said calmly: "You don't have to come again tomorrow."
When the man heard this, he knelt down on the spot and begged for mercy: "Master Li, Master Li, please forgive me this time. I---I know I was wrong, so please forgive me this time. From now on, I will forgive you."
Never again."
When he worked as a cook in the Grand Master's Mansion, he usually had good food and high wages, which was much better than other places. Naturally, he didn't want to leave.
Seeing that Cai Yong remained silent, the others knew that Cai Jing must have agreed to Li Qi's decision, so they all bowed their heads and remained silent.
But Li Qi remained unmoved and said: "I'm sorry, you have to leave."
Cai Yong on the side sighed when he saw that Li Qi had no intention of sparing him. With a wave of his hand, two servants immediately went up and dragged Niu Dawei out.
Li Qi glanced at the others and said solemnly in front of Cai Yong: "I'll say it again, you must cook according to the menu I set. If the grand master wants to eat other dishes, you must inform me first. I know
?"
"I know." Everyone replied in unison, not daring to question at all.
Li Qi suddenly whispered to Cai Yong: "Steward Cai, the Grand Master's academy will definitely need cooks in the future. I think I'll put Niu Dawei there."
Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, then understood and said with a smile: "It turns out that you have already thought of a way out for him."
Li Qi smiled and said nothing.
***************
Half an hour later, at the dining table, Cai Jing looked down at the pieces of tofu in his bowl, and then at the red, fragrant steak on Li Qi and Feng Yinu's plates. He was so depressed that he almost cried.
, but when he tasted the soup, he found that it tasted very delicious. This made him feel a little more balanced.
Although Feng Yinu and Li Qi didn't like each other, she had no immunity to the steak Li Qi made and enjoyed it more than anyone else.
Li Qi didn't have the energy to pay attention to this now. He was really starving to death. After a while, he destroyed half of the Big Mac steak.
After the meal, Li Qi, Cai Jing, and Feng Yinu came to the front yard. Li Qi still sat directly above, while Cai Jing sat aside and listened. Feng Yinu sat on the chair where dozens of interviewers had sat this afternoon.
superior.
Li Qi smiled professionally and said, "What's your last name?"
"Feng Yinu."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Ms. Feng, please give a brief introduction to yourself."
Feng Yinu had never been interviewed in her life. She had never introduced herself. Fortunately, she was born as a geisha and stood out, so she was not nervous at all. She said, "She is from Tokyo, and the head of the family is Dongcheng."
I told you to be simple, but I didn’t tell you to be so simple. Forget it, let me ask you one by one. Li Qi smiled and said: "Age?"
"Do you have to ask this too?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Please respect my professionalism, and I hope you can treat this interview seriously."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be deliberately teasing her, Feng Yinu struggled internally and then said: "Twenty-nine."
"Who is at home?"
Feng Yinu said sadly: "I am an orphan."
Li Qi apologized: "I'm sorry."
Feng Yinu never expected that Li Qi would say "I'm sorry" to her. She couldn't help but glance at him and saw that the expression on his face was still meticulous. She thought to herself, is this the professionalism he just mentioned? "It doesn't matter."
Li Qi's eyes flashed with admiration and he said, "May I ask what Lady Feng did before?"
A complicated light flashed in Feng Yinu's eyes, and he was struggling in his heart. Li Qi said seriously: "It is very important for us to know what each interviewer has done in the past. We hope that Lady Feng will answer truthfully."
Anyway, they all knew why I was worried. When they got here, Feng Yinu completely let go, looked up at Li Qi, and replied: "Singing girl."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Then how much do you earn every month?"
"uncertain."
"Then give me a rough number."
"Seventy or eighty."
"so much!"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Although the remuneration of teachers in our college has not been determined yet, I can tell you for sure that it is not even 10% of what you earned before."
"I'm not here for the money."
"Then why do you want to come to our college to be a teacher?"
"Because I don't want to be a geisha anymore."
"Oh? Can you tell me the reason?"
"There is no woman in the world who is willing to be a singing prostitute." Feng Yinu had a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
Cai Jing on the side listened, and there was a trace of emotion on his face. He nodded slightly, and looked at Li Qi accusingly, indicating that he should not ask so directly. However, in the interview process in later generations, it is important to understand the interviewer's previous work.
The job and the reasons why you left your job are very important.
Li Qi smiled and said: "So, you are tired of your previous job."
"I got tired of it a long time ago."
"So what are your strengths? Or what do you think you can teach?"
"I can teach simple reading, or teach music, dance and musical instruments."
"Well. Last question, have you ever thought that if you come to our college as a teacher with your reputation, you will encounter difficulties that others have never had, and it will also cause a lot of trouble to our college, such as those who usually look up to you.
Your young master came to our college to see you. There are also those scholar-bureaucrats who may verbally criticize you or even the entire college. How will you handle a similar situation?"
Cai Jing frowned, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes. If Li Qi told him now that he didn't want to hire Feng Yinu, he might agree without even thinking about it, because he had personally experienced the power of those scholar-bureaucrats.
Faced with this problem, Feng Yinu also pondered. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I have thought about it, but I don't know how to deal with it."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Okay. I've finished asking my questions. Do you have anything else to ask?"
Feng Yinu looked directly into Li Qi's eyes and said word by word: "Please answer me honestly. Based on my performance just now, can I pass the test?"
"No!" Li Qi said without hesitation.
As expected, Feng Yinu frowned and said, "Can you tell me the reason?"
Li Qi said seriously: "First of all, you never smiled at me from the beginning to the end. This is very impolite. And your words and deeds are directly related to your future students. In fact, just based on this.
But it is pronounced that you are out; secondly, you came to us to interview as a teacher, not because you like this job from the bottom of your heart, but because you hated your previous job, which is a kind of escape phenomenon; thirdly, when we talk about your past
When you are engaged in a job, you show very low self-esteem. You must know that a person with low self-esteem cannot be qualified for any job. In fact, a woman can have such an achievement. She should feel proud. Finally, when I ask you the last question, you
You have obviously already realized the problem, but you still come to the interview even though you don’t know how to solve it. This is a very irresponsible behavior and will make me suspect that you have other intentions. Based on the above four points, you are not
Suitable for this job.”
Cai Jing also nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Li Qi's words, and Li Qi also learned a lot from this unique interview.
Feng Yinu looked lonely, stood up, bowed, and said sadly: "Thank you for telling the truth."
"You're welcome."
Li Qi also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Actually, your performance just now was also remarkable."
Feng Yinu was startled and gave him two questioning looks.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Firstly, for a woman, it is very difficult for you to be able to sit here with your courage alone. Secondly, your talent is indeed very tempting. Of course, this still cannot make up for your
weakness."
Cai Jing stood up and said, "What do you mean?"
Li Qi gave the official answer, "I have to consider this carefully and will issue another notice in a few days. This interview is over. I'll seal my trip. You can leave."
Feng Yinu gave Li Qi a complicated look. After a moment, she thanked her, saluted Cai Jing, and left. Just after she left, Li Qi also left the Taishi Mansion.
As soon as he returned to Qin Mansion, Aunt Chen told him that Bai Qiannuo was waiting for him, so he went to the front hall first.
At this time, Bai Qiannuo was sitting alone reading a book. When he saw Li Qi coming, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him: "Brother Li, you are back."
"Well, Mrs. Chen said you came to see me for something. What was it?"
Bai Qiannuo smiled slyly and said, "How many people are going for interviews today?"
"It's okay, what's wrong?"
"Are there any special people to interview?"
Li Qi frowned and said, "Qiniang, you asked Feng Yinu to go for the interview?"
Seeing that he had been seen through, Bai Qiannuo spat out his sweet tongue and nodded nervously.
"Why are you doing this?" Li Qi asked doubtfully.
Seeing Li Qi's unhappy expression, Bai Qiannuo hurriedly said, "Brother Li, has Sister Feng made you angry again?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "Answer my question first."
"oh."
Bai Qiannuo pouted and said: "I remember last time you told me that teachers are hard to find and I can't help you. I happened to meet Sister Feng yesterday and she told me that she will retire from the hall this year.
, I know Sister Feng’s talent, so I want to ask her to go to the academy to help you.”
"Is this how she promises you?"
Bai Qiannuo glanced at Li Qi anxiously and said: "No - it's not just that. She promised me because she actually wanted to avoid someone?"
"who?"
"Wang Xiang. Brother, you don't know that Wang Xiang has always wanted Sister Feng to be his concubine, and Wang Yanei has been looking for her."
Sweating! Father and son are fighting for a woman. This is really big news. Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said: "Isn't Miss Shishi protecting her? What else does she need to be afraid of?"
"It was originally like this, but now that Prime Minister Wang has won the trust of the Emperor, Sister Feng is worried about causing trouble for Sister Li, so---so---."
"So she wanted to use Taishi Cai as her protection. Although Taishi Cai is currently at home, he is one of the few ministers who is not afraid of the king. With the addition of Uncle Cai and Mr. Cai, although the king has power over the government and the public,
, but he will not fall out with Master Cai because of a woman. Qiniang, this is all the attention you gave, right?" Li Qi glanced at Bai Qiannuo and thought to himself, it turns out there is such a meaning in it.
"Brother, you are so smart, I can't hide anything from you." Bai Qiannuo smiled and said, "Then did you agree to her?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Not yet, but Qiniang is not suitable to be a teacher because of her status. You should know this."
Bai Qiannuo said coquettishly: "Brother, you must have a way, just help Sister Feng."
Li Qi sighed and said: "Let me think about it again. You also know that Wang Xiang and I have had issues before. If I offend him again because of this matter, my life will not be easy in the future."
Bai Qiannuo said hurriedly: "That's why I asked Sister Feng to avoid you and go directly to Grand Master Cai. This way, you can stay out of the matter."
"You are quite considerate." Li Qi said angrily. He thought to himself, this girl is really like a mother.
Bai Qiannuo giggled, "Then you agree?"
Li Qi still didn't dare to make a decision rashly and said: "Qiniang, there are many interests involved here, please let me think about it again. I promise, I will consider it carefully."
Bai Qiannuo's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he didn't say much. He hummed and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Oh, brother, the clothes you asked Zhou Family Satin Factory to make have been sent to you, and they are now being sold.
The slave is there."
"oh?"
Li Qi was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Let's go and have a look now."
"But Sister Hongnu is already asleep."
"ah---?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Then---then let's go see it tomorrow."
Bai Qiannuo Dai frowned slightly and said with a hint of worry: "Brother, do you really plan to use this masquerade party to ask the emperor to use those weird costumes for the imperial army?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"
Bai Qiannuo pondered for a while and said: "Brother, the emperor made you the deputy commander. In fact, he only wanted to arrange a false position for you. However, you want to reform just after taking office. This will inevitably attract everyone's attention, and the king may also
They will come out to hinder you, and if you directly request the emperor, Ma Shuai will also be unhappy. Brother, do you think this matter needs to be considered carefully?"
Li Qi frowned, thought about it, and said, "What you said makes sense, but I took it too much for granted."
Bai Qiannuo said: "Actually--there is actually someone who may be able to help big brother."
Li Qi hurriedly asked: "Who?"
"Gaoyanei---."
"Qiniang, you are trying to make my elder brother happy, but this joke is not funny at all."
Bai Qiannuo shook his head and said, "No, I'm talking about Gao Yanei's father, Captain Gao."
