If you ask yourself this question specifically, it must be because you want to borrow from yourself in the next step.
Naturally, Australians will not let it go easily after eating this piece of fat meat called Chun Chunyuan. Su Ai boasts that he understands Australians very well - that is, they "treat wealth as life." When they fled from Guangzhou in a hurry, with their eyebrows raised and swords on their necks, Guo Dongzhu still made a big move. Except for the clumsy guys who were inconvenient to carry, almost nothing of value was left in Ziming Tower.
Although the Australians have this unique "Purple Bright House", they know very little about the inside story of Xingyuan and Lehu. Not only do they come from a Lehu family, but they also come from a small "industry" background. Obviously, they are what Australians call "professional talents".
In this way, wouldn't he be able to reach the level of "Old Madam"?
He was overjoyed at the moment and said hurriedly: "This chief has asked someone. I don't know much about the local slaves in the palace, but I was originally a happy household in Jiangnan, and I was trained in the academy since I was a child. The scene inside can be said to be crystal clear. If my slave is of any use, I will do my best to repay you."
Pei Lixiu nodded slightly: "Of course I have to borrow from Sister Su's skills."
"Yes, yes." Su Ai nodded repeatedly.
"Sister Su, how many of the women in the courtyard really want to eat this bowl of rice?" Pei Lixiu suddenly asked.
This was a rare question. Su Ai didn't know what she meant for a moment, but after thinking about it, she understood: These days, Australians are reporting on the "custom industry crackdown" and "liberating women" in newspapers with great fanfare. High, the most important of which is to criticize brothels for "forcing girls into prostitution"...
She tasted the meaning of Pei Lixiu's words, thought about the previous question, and immediately guessed what Pei Lixiu meant. Immediately he replied with a smile: "Chief, if you want to say that everyone is willing to eat this bowl of rice, then of course it is not possible. However, women from happy households like slaves are regarded as untouchables by everyone, and they are not allowed to engage in scholarly, agricultural, industrial, or commercial activities for generations. , old and young can only play and sing, and make a living by singing and making jokes. If you don’t eat this bowl of rice, how can you eat that bowl of rice? Even if you want to change your career and become a good person, you can only change it at a young age, like a slave. A spent flower is a willow, even if you change your career to become a mother-in-law, people still think that slaves are too stupid." He said with another self-deprecating smile, "To be honest, I have been in this business for a long time, and I only want to be a bustard. Be kinder, and the slaves will have a better life, and they will be more energetic in doing business. There are no other thoughts."
After speaking, she looked up at Pei Lixiu's expression and saw her nodding slightly, as if she had some idea. Su Ai knew that her guess was accurate. I originally wanted to add a few more words, but then I thought it would be better to say less.
Pei Lixiu asked again: "Dong Mingxuan, the young lady from the prefect Dong's family in Guangzhou during the Ming Dynasty, do you know her?"
"I don't know this slave - when Magistrate Dong arrived in Guangzhou, my slave had already fled to Zhaoqing." Su Ai said, "But I heard that she was a capable woman: it is said that when the heavenly army entered the city and Dong Ni took poison, Xiao Nizi unexpectedly She went to Mr. Liu to ask for the property. Her courage alone is admirable, not to mention that she now opens a shop for her mother and makes a living by herself. She is really a hero among women. If a slave has such courage as her, how can she I suffered so much when I was reduced to Zhaoqing!"
"In the new society, women can hold up half the sky." Pei Lixiu didn't know why, but she suddenly spit out a political slogan that was rarely said in the past, "That was not allowed to show up in the Ming Dynasty because of the restrictions. Now in the new system of our Senate, Women can give full play to their talents, and they are no worse than men in studying and doing business. I think this young lady from the Dong family is a talent that can be developed... It's a pity..."
Su Ai didn't know why she suddenly said "it's a pity", but after thinking about it again, she understood. Elder Pei intended to promote her, but it was a pity that Dong Mingjuan was the daughter of an "enemy of the court" and a true "family member of a criminal official". If she was not demoted to an official prostitute in accordance with the rules of the Ming Dynasty, it would be an open policy, and she could not be reused.
Su Ai pondered for a moment and said: "Don't feel sorry for me, the chief. She has such a small situation because of the great grace of the Song Dynasty. This small business is like a seedling, which cannot withstand the wind and frost. If the chief is in this situation at this time, It must be great to have some rain and dew.”
Pei Lixiu understood the meaning of Su Ai's words: directly recruiting Dong Mingxuan would not work, but this did not prevent him from offering some favors to win her heart and serve herself.
Li Ziyu has been very proud these days: the entire police station is rumored that he was interviewed by Chief Wen.
A few days ago, he was invited to attend the Guangzhou City Advanced Workers Commendation Conference. This commendation conference was said to be for the whole province of Guangdong, but in fact most of the commendations were for advanced workers from Guangzhou Special City. In order to publicize and encourage more local indigenous people to come out and join the work, a group of newly naturalized workers who had joined the work since the restoration of Guangdong were specially selected as models - Li Ziyu was selected in this way.
Participating in the commendation conference is a brand new experience. Whether it is holding a conference, listening to reports, watching the "Australian Construction Achievements Documentary Film", attending a party... it is all new and interesting to this young man. The old naturalized citizen's new vocabulary and "standard" Newspeak made him feel even more ashamed.
The three-day conference went by in a blink of an eye, and there was a collective reception at noon on the last day. Eighty advanced workers were waiting to be received on three rows of chairs and stools arranged in a stepped shape. When he saw "the envoys of the two provinces of the Song Dynasty", the legendary "Chang Wen" came out of the side door of the lobby and waved to everyone with a smile. The whole place immediately burst into warm applause. Chief Wen smiled slightly. He walked sideways in front of them, smiling and applauding. In an instant, a huge and completely unknown excitement invaded Li Ziyu's body. He unconsciously clapped his hands and cheered like an old returned citizen.
Whenever he recalled this scene, he was full of energy and blood boiled. Chief Wen heard that he was the largest official in Australia and Song Dynasty. He didn't believe it before, but when he received him that day, he could feel it from the eyes of Mu Ju and Mayor Liu next to him. Chief Wen was very kind and asked him something. Now that I think about it carefully, I don’t remember it at all. I was so excited at the time that I only remember that I said a lot of things like serving the Senate. After I got home and told my parents, they were very happy. My mother even cooked a delicious meal. My father drank wine with him and ate the meal very late. His parents repeatedly told him to take good care of himself. Do your best to become a police officer as soon as possible and make your family look good. Li Ziyu would snicker from the bottom of his heart every time he thought of this, lowering his head and struggling to copy the security statement on the document as a backup.
"Xiao Li, haven't you eaten yet? You are very motivated." Someone looked in from the corridor window.
"Yeah. Master Jiu." Li Ziyu looked up and found Gao Chongjiu looking at him with a smile. Ziyu said sheepishly, "Master Jiu, have you had lunch?"
"I'm about to go to the cafeteria." Gao Chongjiu shook the meal ticket in his hand, "Why haven't you eaten yet? You have to fill your stomach first if you want to advance."
"Where, that's good, there are a few more words. After writing this backup, let's work together. Master Jiu."
After a while, Li Ziyu stopped writing, took a meal coupon from the drawer and quickly walked out of the security department's door. Gao Chongjiu stood looking at him with a smile, which made Li Ziyu feel uncomfortable.
"Master Jiu, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Li Ziyu asked, scratching his head at a loss after checking his body and not finding anything that shouldn't be there.
"It's okay, sigh boy, you are so lucky. I solved such a big case for you when you first entered the industry. I have been on official business for such a long time, and your experience is rare. I heard that you were even received by the chief?"
"Where, where? Isn't this all brought by Master Jiu? I'm just here to help." The two of them were walking and chatting.
"Hehe, he's a good boy. He also knows how to look after the old man and not be arrogant. He has a future." Gao Chongjiu patted Li Ziyu's shoulder, and then said mysteriously: "Ziyu, this time I want it, please." You helped."
"Master Jiu, what are you talking about? I'm one of my own. If you have anything to do, just ask. If I can help, I will definitely help."
"It's no big deal. It's like this: This time we two were recommended by Mu Bureau to be sent to Lingao for training. You also know that I don't know many Chinese characters, so you have to help me when the time comes. But I know that you are reading Those who have passed the exam must help me with the exams."
"What? Going to Lingao? Us? Training?"
"You don't know?" Gao Chongjiu stopped and looked at Li Ziyu's mouth, which was open enough to stuff an egg.
Li Ziyu shook his head like a rattle: "Master Jiu, I really don't know."
Gao Chongjiu pulled Li Ziyu and continued walking while whispering: "I just heard this from our section chief. Silly boy, this is a good opportunity to make a career. Haven't you heard anyone say that? I want to be promoted." I have to be sent to Lingao for three months of intermediate police training. Thanks to you, I will be sent to Lingao this time. Our section chief said that I am an old man from the county government, and I have no education level. If you are not high, it is impossible for you to participate in this kind of training.”
"No, it's the boy who asked Master Jiu for his blessing."
"Well, don't tell me. Our Da'ao Song Dynasty is different from the previous Ming Dynasty. We reward according to merit and are unambiguous at all. Brother, I have been working as a public servant all my life. I have solved many cases. In addition to a few words of praise, I will give you a few taels. Silver, when did such a benefit come to me? I will never be more than a government servant when I grow old!"
"Well, well, yes, yes." Li Ziyu nodded, feeling happy, it was a happy event from heaven. Although Gao Chongjiu's words were ominous, Li Ziyu thought about going to the section chief to ask questions.
The two of them talked and soon arrived at the backyard canteen. When Li Ziyu was waiting in line for lunch, he felt that many people were paying attention to him. He even heard a few words about how lucky this kid was, so he ate two more bowls for lunch. (To be continued.)
