Jia Ke had just left the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion and met up with Liu Yu and others, planning to find a shop to rest for the night before returning to Kaiping Town tomorrow.
But not far away, I met a person not far away. I saw that person lying on the ground, with his belly exposed and basking in the sun on a cold day.
When people coming and going saw his appearance, they pointed and commented.
"Brother, do you know this person?"
"How could you not recognize him? This is the official of the Jiedu Dynasty. I heard he is a bookworm."
A scholar next to him came up and said: "Bookworm, I think he is a lunatic. He exposes his chest and belly in public, which is disgraceful to gentlemen. He is simply the scum of the Confucius family."
The man lying on the ground was not happy after hearing what he said. He looked at him contemptuously: "Who are you? You don't know what a disciple of Confucius is. You are just a bunch of rotten scholars who only know how to find chapters and excerpts."
That’s all.”
Jia Ke looked on with interest. He came from modern times and had never seen anything strange. The incident he encountered today seems to have been similar in ancient times on earth. This is just a case of neglecting talents and acting alone.
.
But now is the time when Jia Ke is employing people, and this person dares to act so pretentious in front of him. He must have some ability, so I might as well follow his wishes and go up and ask him a few questions.
So Jia Ke stepped forward and asked, "Sir, since you know Sage Kong, it is always against the sage's teachings to expose your breasts like this."
When the man on the ground saw Jia Ke, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and then he looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's not that I want to expose my breasts, it's really because I have no choice. I have accumulated knowledge of poetry, calligraphy, and military strategies for many years.
I haven't used it, so if I don't dry it in the sun, it might become moldy."
When Jia Ke heard what he said, he really recommended himself, so he said to him: "I have a position I want to give you, but I'm afraid you can't do it."
The man on the ground said: "Although you have given me a position, I don't have to serve you."
Jia Ke's face turned serious at this time. Youdao means that the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their masters. This man seems to have some ambitions.
In this case, Jia Ke decided to fulfill his wish. He took off his clothes, went over to put it on the man himself, then stood aside and asked respectfully: "Today, I am lucky enough to meet a wise man. I wonder if I can."
Please invite this wise man to sit and talk for a long time to increase my knowledge."
When the man lying on the ground saw Jia Ke, he was respectful and polite, and invited him many times, so he followed suit and asked to get up.
Jia Ke watched from the side as he was about to get up, so he hurried up to help him, patted the soil off his body, and tied his clothes himself.
Then he took his own fire dragon colt and personally helped the man onto his horse. Liu Yu and other soldiers looked on and were very angry. They had never seen such a shameless person.
Jia Ke didn't take it seriously at all, and led his horse forward several hundred steps to a wine shop.
Then he raised his head and asked the man: "What do you think of this place, sir?"
The man looked up and said nonchalantly, "It's a quiet place."
Jia Ke heard his tone of consent and hurried over to personally hold his feet, help him off the horse, and then helped him into the hotel.
When the owner of the hotel saw someone coming, he hurried forward to say hello, "Dear guests, do you want to stay in the hotel or stay in the hotel?"
Jia Ke answered him: "Prepare a room for me in the best upper room. If you have any good food and wine, please bring it up. Then we can set up some tables for my brothers downstairs."
When the boss heard that it was a big business, he quickly called the waiters to entertain them warmly. He personally sent Jia Ke and the two to a private room on the second floor, served them to sit down, and then took care of them while the waiters quickly served wine and food.
Jia Ke asked the man to sit at the top of the table, while he accompanied him at the bottom.
The man was not polite when the food and wine were served. He enjoyed a glass of wine and a bite of food. Jia Ke was not surprised either, and poured wine and served dishes for him.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Jia Ke saw that the man had almost finished eating, so he asked: "I forgot to ask Mr.'s name in my hurry just now. It's very disrespectful. I would like to ask Mr. his surname."
"
The man wiped his mouth and bowed his hands to Jia Ke calmly, "I am the official of the Jiedushi Mansion, a poor and humble official. Are you very disappointed?"
Jia Ke raised his hands and said, "Sir, how can you be considered poor? There have been so many virtuous people throughout the ages, but when they first came out of the mountain, they couldn't even try to be a small classics official."
Seeing Jia Ke's open-mindedness, the man introduced himself to him: "I am really a book official. My surname is Fan and my name is Kang. I have heard the general's name for a long time. I am willing to go and join him, but I am afraid that the general will not accept him, so
That's why there was a drama outside the Jiedushi Gate today. General, please don't be offended."
Jia Ke waved his hand and said, "It's a great honor for me, sir, to think highly of me, Jia Ke. How can I say I'm offended?"
Jia Ke then asked Fan Kang: "Since you have come to see me, Jia Ke, you must have something to teach me. Please give me some advice."
Fan Kang put down his wine glass and looked at Jia Ke seriously, and asked: "Since you are asking, what are your ambitions?"
How could Jia Ke reveal her heart to this man when she saw him for the first time? But if he didn't tell him directly, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity if he missed someone like Zhang Liang and Xiao He?
Jia Ke thought for a while and decided to tell him in secret words to see if he could guess it. So he said, "I have a little poem. Sir, please read it in detail for me."
Fan Kang asked strangely: "What poem is it? Let me listen to it."
How can Jia Ke know how to write poetry? He just copied the poems of ancient people on earth to express his own feelings.
Jia Ke also pretended to stand up, thought for a while and then chanted: "I won't do it when the flowers are blooming. If I do, I will be frightened to death. If I want to fight the west wind, I will wear golden armor all over my body."
Fan Kang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this poem. The murderous nature of this poem was frightening, and there was an imperial aura hidden in it.
Fan Kang thought for a long time. He never thought that this Jia Ke was so ambitious. Judging from this poem, this Jia Ke must be a reckless person in the future. But Fan Kang did not feel the slightest fear. Instead, he felt a wave of fear.
His blood is boiling. He is afraid that Giaco is a person who does not want to make progress. The greater his ambition, the greater the scope for his own development.
So he stood up without hesitation, came to Jia Ke, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please accept Fan Kang's bow."
When Jia Ke saw Fan Kang paying homage, he knew that he had subdued him, so he quickly stepped forward to help him up, and then helped him to the throne again.
This time, Fan Kang refused to sit in this seat no matter what, and explained: "My lord, you must not do this. Our master has never been decided just now. Your lord respects me, and I also deliberately tested it, so I took this seat. Now my master and slave
It has been decided that it is against etiquette to sit here."
Seeing his sincerity, Jia Ke became the leader, and Fan Kang sat down to accompany him.
Jia Ke asked him again: "Do you already know what I want?"
Fan Kang said confidently: "I already know your lord's wishes."
Jia Ke then asked: "How long will it take for me to succeed?"
"If you want to do your best, it will take thirty years." Fan Kang answered him cautiously.
Jia Ke thought that what would happen to Jia's family in the future might not be possible in thirty years, but would have to wait fifteen or sixteen years to achieve success.
"Sir, it's taking too long. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait."
Fan Kang looked at Jia Ke in surprise. This newly recognized lord does not seem to be such an unintelligent person. How could he be too hasty in doing such a big thing?
Fan Kang had to persuade him and said: "My lord, the most taboo thing about doing this is to do it too hastily. It is better to take it slow than to rush. If you rush, something big will happen."
Naturally, Jia Ke couldn't tell him that he knew the future fate of the Jia family. He could only ask him implicitly: "If one day, I am in charge of the nine-sided military force, and the generals of the imperial court are actually used by me, how much time will be left?"
