In the early morning of the next day, the temperature rose, and the snow on the beams melted a lot. The snow dripped down the eaves, making small puddles on the dirt floor. A few transparent sands shone in the sunlight. With dazzling light.
The servants in the Li family's mansion had already gotten up early to clean the courtyard and prepare warm water and breakfast for the masters.
Because the Li family members work in different jobs, they do not eat together in the morning. Basically, whoever is in a hurry to go to work eats first. Generally, Li Yutang eats first. After all, he is the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Even if he is late and leaves early, he will not Some people are in charge, but it is not allowed to invite anyone who wants to invite a beautiful censor to impeach an official who is late. Although it will not lead to dismissal from office and court battle, it will cause a loss of money. Zhu Xiluo generally adopts a compensation system for late officials. Of course, the compensation is from the internal treasury. Three days of salary will be deducted for being late once, and a week's salary will be lost for being late twice. It is said that Zhang Luzi, the pioneer who arrived late and left early, did not receive salary for up to three months.
As he gets older, Li Yutang's breakfast will not consist of big fish and meat, a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, two three-fresh shrimp buns, and two slices of tiger penis. Well, the elderly have always been ahead on the road to replenishing the kidneys.
After rinsing his mouth, Li Yutang put on his official robe and drove towards the palace in a car. Well, as Zhu Xiluo's neighbor, Li Yutang's car was really meaningless.
In the guest room of the Li family mansion, Lao Wu left his female companion beside him and got up reluctantly. Now Lao Wu has become the protector of the third son of the unborn mother. Naturally, this outfit also needs to be changed. Clothing that is better than a beggar has long been abandoned by Old Wu. Even if it once protected him from wind and rain, brought him warmth, and saved you from freezing to death in the cold winter, who will remember the old love after having a new love? Even if it doesn’t fit, I am still willing to choose to be glamorous.
Wearing a brand-new purple Taoist robe with gold thread and yin-yang fish pattern, old Wu, a down-and-out scholar, is also full of immortal spirit. He straightened his messy beard in front of the bronze mirror and blew a kiss to his female companion, "Honey, I'm leaving."
"Master Dao, I'm waiting for you tonight." The female companion said shyly.
If the woman hadn't been so proactive last night, Lao Wu would have definitely believed that she was from a good family.
Walking out of the bedroom and into the living room, Old Wu saw Xiao Ming walking towards him. It was obvious that Xiao Ming was a little staggering today, but his face was very good, looking like a hungry man who had had enough food and wine.
"Good morning, Old Wu, how was it last night? Didn't you hold on for three seconds?" When seeing Old Wu, Xiao Ming also joked happily,
It seems like a dreamlike life, and the empty hometown that the Wusheng Mother talks about is nothing more than that. Xiao Ming feels that he is very happy and it is not a bad idea to live like this for the rest of his life.
"Haha, I am getting stronger with age. I lasted for more than a hundred and ten seconds." Interested viewers can go to those colorful bathhouses for on-site interviews and investigations. Those who start at five hours and go for three hours at a time are all bad men. There are not many people who can persist for a day, and Lao Wu is in this state. Although I am not good enough, I cannot admit that I am not good enough.
"Last night I really wanted to hear someone begging for mercy from the neighbor next door. They kept shouting, "Sister, I can't survive. Please spare me." He looked at Xiao Ming's lower body with contempt.
"Haha, Old Wu, you must have heard wrong. It was the eldest sister who begged for mercy. Didn't you see that she can't even get out of bed now?"
After teasing each other a few words, the two sat down and drank three hundred taels of tea and began to reminisce about the past and think about the future, including bragging.
After a while, Xiaohong also walked in. It is said that a man relies on his clothes and his saddle. Xiaohong's appearance can only be regarded as average, but after taking off the holey pants and holey clothes that were only popular in the 21st century, The silk jacket is also very eye-catching.
Seeing Xiao Hong walking in, Lao Wu and Xiao Ming couldn't help but look at Xiao Hong from top to bottom. If their eyes were lethal, Xiao Hong would definitely self-destruct.
Seeing the malicious looks in their eyes, Xiao Hong couldn't help but blush, "What are you two looking at? I didn't let that handsome guy sleep with me."
There are many guests in the Li family mansion, but there are very few guests who can stay in the Li family mansion, and there are even fewer guests from the eldest son Li. Therefore, the three guardians who took away Li Jincheng for the first time were punished by the eldest son Li. Warm hospitality, wine and meat are secondary, physical and mental pleasure is the way to treat guests, so Mr. Li prepared warm blankets for the three guardians. Old Wu liked those who were younger than himself, Xiao Ming liked those who were plumper, and Xiaohong was a little shy and didn't speak. But Mr. Li still understands people's hearts, so a handsome guy arranged it.
"real"? The two were suspicious.
"Really, why did I lie to you?" Xiaohong stamped her feet, then sat down and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Hey, Xiao Hong, you should agree," Xiao Ming advised earnestly, "That guy's appearance, to be honest, if I stand with you, others will think you are a rich woman."
"What do you mean"?
"Flowers are placed on cow dung, but you are cow dung."
"Haha" Xiao Ming and Lao Wu couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Xiao Ming, you are so annoying, I will ignore you."
"Hey, Xiao Ming, you are wrong. How can Xiao Hong be cow dung? She is worse than cow dung."
"Hmph, you are all bad guys, you just know how to bully your sister." Xiaohong pretended to be angry and turned around halfway.
Through the ups and downs along the way, the three of them have developed a deep relationship, so it is not impossible to make some harmless jokes.
The three of them laughed and chatted for a while. After a while, the waiting girl brought breakfast. The three of them were also a little hungry.
After finishing the meal, Xiaohong asked, "Brothers, what are we doing today?"
After wiping the grains of rice on his beard, Old Wu spoke first, "The followers of Yingtian Mansion have long since dispersed. It is difficult to unite them."
"Yes, people's hearts are too impetuous, and it's hard to lead a team. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Without experiencing the baptism of the birthless old mother, and the corrosion of sugar-coated bullets, even if they are reunited, they will not be the same as before. They have already changed their minds." Xiao Ming also sighed.
Thinking that the team he had worked so hard to build was defeated by a chicken, Xiao Ming had the urge to find a piece of tofu and kill him. Those shameless gangs did nothing but eat. Before they left and went to jail, they brought in a pile of debts for themselves. They were reluctant to eat and drink. They were always thinking about how to fill their bellies, but they were like this. They are so cruel to themselves that their consciences are eaten by dogs.
Thinking that they had tried to use force against her, Xiaohong was also very disappointed with them. "They are all white-eyed wolves. Even if they have a dog, they have more conscience than them."
"What you said makes sense. Now we have successfully deceived the dandy Li Jincheng. Considering that the Li family has a big business and Li Yutang is still the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, funding should not be a problem. It is not difficult to gain a foothold in Yingtian Mansion. Now, Our main focus must be on developing the congregation. It is people who determine social progress. If we want to overthrow Baoming, we still need people."
"Yes, I heard that the wipes used by that old man Li Yutang are all edged with gold. His family is rich."
"Well, only if you have money can you do things easily, develop your followers, and strengthen our White Lotus Sect." Xiao Hong also nodded in agreement.
"Brother Xiao Ming, yesterday's spell made Li Jincheng admire you very much. You must work harder in this area and strive to firmly grasp him so that he will only obey us and follow our orders in all his actions."
"Okay, no problem, I will prepare a few spells."
No matter how hard and tired they were, they never left. They were also the most devout believers of the Holy Mother of White Lotus. If nothing unexpected happened, they could continue to stay in the Li family mansion so comfortably, but they always kept in mind the mission given to them by God. The saint has arrived, and the white lotus has been reborn! The mountains and rivers are about to become the land of China, and the sun and moon will bloom again and the sky will be clear.
Combining knowledge and action, they decided to do it. The future development direction of the Yingtianfu branch of the White Lotus Sect has been set. The three of them did not intend to delay and decided to go outside to recruit people soon. Promote the doctrine, believe in the White Lotus, and gain eternal life.
After greeting the passing government officials, Lao Wu asked, "Master Li, have you gotten up yet?"
Those who do not serve in the Li family's back house can only be servants, belonging to the lowest class of slaves. They will be unfamiliar with everything in the back house. However, after living in the Li family's mansion for a long time, they will naturally be familiar with the several masters of the Li family. The habits are very clear. For example, Mr. Li likes gold, Mr. Li likes silver, and Mr. Li likes both gold and silver, and he also likes women.
The guests of the Li family's mansion are not something that little handymen can neglect. He half-bent and clasped his fists, "Masters, the young master should still be asleep at this time."
"Oh, what time does Mr. Li usually get up?"
"When you see the sun".
The three of them looked at the sun rising in the east, and then looked at the handyman.
The handyman was a little embarrassed and said, "Well, I'm talking about the sun in the west."
"Um, okay, I guess Li Jincheng is a hard-working wage earner who works the night shift every day."
If you go out in the middle of the night to recruit people, it is estimated that the White Lotus Church will become a beggar's den. Those who don't go home at night are either prostitutes or beggars. While the prostitutes are in the house, only the beggars are on the roadside. Of course, the beggars here refer to traditional beggars. The rich and the Those who are old and immortal are the scum of beggars.
It was unrealistic to wait for Li Jincheng to get up and go together, so the three of them could only tell the handyman and then walked out.
Although there is no such thing as a market in the capital of the Ming Empire, there are still many people outside, setting up stalls, buying, and shouting and selling. The streets are full of fireworks.
Basically, those who want to join the White Lotus Sect are the lower-class people who live a relatively poor life. People like Li Jincheng are special cases. This guy lacks cells in his head. The three guardians are all old men from the White Lotus Sect. They know what kind of people are easy to fool and are willing to join the White Lotus Sect.
There were many pedestrians on the street, but there might be a Jin Yiwei who had given birth to a son without holes among them. The three of them did not dare to try easily. They turned a corner and walked towards a small alley.
Walking towards me was a young woman with a basket hanging in her hand. She must be buying vegetables.
Seeing the person coming, it was still a woman, and the three of them felt calm. Generally speaking, women are the easiest to fool. They often never leave the house and never step out. They just serve the elderly, take care of their husbands and educate their children every day. They are already tired of it. Or even hate the life they live now, otherwise why are most women the most willing to accept the liberation of Western ideas, abandon the old society, welcome new ideas, liberate the heart, liberate the body, and let their warm embrace warm all the lonely hearts at night.
The alley is very narrow, three people are walking side by side, and the road is even more blocked.
Seeing the three people blocking the road, the young woman's heart skipped a beat. He also stopped moving forward.
Putting the vegetable basket on her chest, the young woman asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do?"
"Mom, don't be nervous, we are good people." Showing his big yellow teeth, Old Wu put on a smile that he thought was charming.
It is human nature to be eloquent and sharp-tongued. It is human nature and the body's instinct to quibble. A young woman may not have a high level of education, but she can still tell the truth from a lie. For example, if you say you are a good person, what will happen to you? The chance of being a bad person is no less than 80%. This is my experience in half my life.
"Don't come over here. If you come over again, I'll call someone." The young woman began to back away.
"Auntie, don't get me wrong," Xiao Ming took two steps forward and hurriedly explained, "Do you want to experience the feeling of ecstasy in the fairy world? I can satisfy you."
"You're so shameless. I'm so old and you won't let me go." Then she threw an egg on Xiao Ming's head. The young woman kept talking and throwing the egg while shouting, "Come here, someone is robbing you."
