Originally, Han Du thought that Lao Zhu had some prejudice against the other party's filial piety. After all, Han Du had some understanding of Lao Zhu's thirst for talents. Although the imperial court has held imperial examinations for many years, due to the lack of scholars nowadays, there are still a large number of vacancies for local official positions in the imperial court. Logically speaking, if someone like Fang Xiaoru is willing to become an official, Lao Zhu should be overjoyed when he finds out. How could it be that Fang Xiaoru didn't even get an official position?
Fang Xiaoru knew what Han Du meant. Han Du thought that he was not favored by the emperor, so he shook his head and explained: "The emperor has a good impression of me. He is not afraid of Brother Han's jokes. When I saw the emperor, the emperor was very happy. He also praised me to His Highness the Crown Prince as a man of dignified character, but then he sent me out according to etiquette."
What medicine is Lao Zhu selling in this gourd? Since you praised Fang Xiaoru, why didn't you agree to let him serve as an official, but instead sent him out according to etiquette?
Han Du knew that Lao Zhu was a very scheming person, and could not guess his intention for doing this for a while.
"What are Brother Fang's plans for the future?" Since he couldn't guess what Lao Zhu was thinking, Han Du put it aside for the time being.
Fang Xiaoru smiled helplessly and said, "What else can I plan? Your Majesty, I don't need to be with you. Maybe it's because I have few talents and limited knowledge. I plan to stay in the capital for a few days and then return to my hometown to continue my studies."
If you are still shallow in knowledge and knowledge, how many scholars in the Ming Dynasty can stand on the stage? If you are described as having little talent and little knowledge, then how should you describe the people at the table opposite? A wine bag and rice bag...
Your standards for talent and knowledge are set too high. Han Du gave Fang Xiaoru a meaningful look.
"I wonder how many days Brother Fang wants to stay in the capital?" Han Du was a little reluctant to let go of a talent like Fang Xiaoru, so he returned to his hometown to concentrate on studying. For a knowledgeable person like Fang Xiaoru, when he goes home, he may say that he is concentrating on studying, but he may say that he is just rummaging through old papers and wasting time.
Why did Fang Xiaoru want to become an official? Do you think he is an official recluse and wants to be an official? That's because, for people like Fang Xiaoru, books alone can no longer improve their knowledge. If you want to continue to improve your knowledge, or want to go further, you must experience the world.
As the saying goes: "Knowledge of worldly affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing." Only by experiencing the ups and downs of worldly affairs and seeing the vicissitudes of life can his knowledge be greatly improved. If you have never experienced anything in the world, just say that you are a great master. That's like Minke, who doesn't even have a primary school education, but claims that he proved Einstein's theory of relativity is wrong. It will have no effect other than to make people laugh and make people feel bored.
Han Du felt sorry for Fang Xiaoru, but Fang Xiaoru himself seemed very open-minded. When Han Du asked, Fang Xiaoru didn't hesitate and said directly: "I can't stay for a few days. I heard that the Immortal Drunk at the Seafood Restaurant is the best in wine and wanted to try it, but I was short of money. So I left. I was very unwilling, so I hesitated for a while, but now it seems that it is better to return home as soon as possible."
The man in front of me is also an alcoholic.
Han Du had a weird look on his face. He didn't expect that Fang Xiaoru would be addicted to alcohol at such a young age. He had heard about the reputation of drunken spirits and couldn't move away. Because of this, he even delayed his return to his hometown.
"Haha, this is easy. If Brother Fang doesn't mind it, let me serve as a host. How about we go to the seafood restaurant now?" Han Du sent a warm invitation to Fang Xiaoru.
Fang Xiaoru didn't expect that Han Du would invite him to the seafood restaurant, and said in surprise: "Brother Han, you want to treat him? Let's forget it. The seafood restaurant is very expensive. Although we hit it off, this is the first time we have met. So that Brother Han can spend money." Han Du waved his hand and said again: "What does it cost? Others may spend money to treat Brother Fang, but I am different. I never pay when I go to the seafood restaurant."
"Really?" Fang Xiaoru's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. Looking at Han Du with an envious expression, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. It seemed that he was envious of Han Du, why he could go to the seafood restaurant to have a king meal so confidently.
"Let's go, Brother Fang." Han Du didn't bother to explain to Fang Xiaoru, so he simply took his arm and stood up.
Fang Xiaoru did not refuse and stood up. Although he and Han Du had just met for the first time, they felt like old friends at first sight. In addition, the temptation of Shenxian Zui was too great for him to refuse. I thought to myself, if I can't fight anymore, I can just ask him back when I have money later. Well, so now it's just Han Du who invites him first, and he doesn't owe him anything.
The two of them smiled and passed by the table of scholars. Han Du didn't pay attention to them at first, but he didn't expect that there would be extra trouble.
"You two, stop." The leader at the table suddenly thought of something when he saw Han Du and the two dressed like scholars. His face darkened, and he asked: "What's going on with you two? We are here to denounce that bitch Han Du, and you two have been listening for a long time but are about to leave without saying a word. What do you two mean?" "
Then he slammed the table and asked sharply: "Tell me, are you two with Han Du?"
As soon as these words came out, the attention of everyone on this floor of the restaurant was immediately attracted.
Even the diners around him put down their chopsticks and looked over. When I saw those scholars, a trace of disgust flashed in my eyes. These people are here all day long talking about Han Du's dirty stuff. If they can be more innovative and the discussion is more novel, they might be able to arouse the interest of the surrounding diners. But these people act like they are performing a one-man show all day long, repeatedly bringing out Han Du's dirty information and discussing it over and over again.
Even if it is delicacies from mountains and seas, if you eat them every day, you will get tired of them, not to mention these unnutritious black ingredients? Besides, the people around him are not idiots, so everyone still has their own thoughts on what Han Du is like. Let’s not talk about anything else, just take treasure notes as an example. How can someone who can make such treasure notes be like those who say they are a corpse-like person?
What if even Han Du, who made such a magical treasure banknote, was a vegetarian? Then the threshold for becoming an official in the Ming Dynasty is too high. According to this standard, there is no one who is not a vegetarian.
But these guys are scholars after all. Neither the owner of the restaurant nor the surrounding diners can afford to offend them, so they can only let them talk nonsense here.
