Tang Sufan's figure disappeared into the crowd of people in an instant.
Ma Zhou glanced at that handsome figure, then turned around helplessly and said to Li Yifu beside him.
"Brother Li, Mr. Tang is a man of noble nature. What you did was too impulsive!"
Apprenticeship pays attention to order from top to bottom, with distinction between superior and inferior.
Since ancient times, teachers have been trained for small things, often infrequently. This makes it easy for others to see that they are utilitarian, which can be good or bad.
Even though he knew that Brother Li had been unable to serve the country and had no talent, his actions today were somewhat offensive.
After all, he was so embarrassed that he was almost digging out three rooms and one living room under his feet.
Li Yifu just chuckled at Ma Zhou's words.
"Brother Ma, maybe I acted impulsively, but what Mr. Tang just said was nothing more than what Yifu said from the bottom of his heart——"
Ma Zhou then smiled bitterly.
"Yi Mansion, Mr. Tang is a person of your temperament. If you can get along with him, it will be a blessing in life. Now that you have come from the Imperial Academy, it will only be a matter of time before you enter the court. If you worship Mr. Tang as your teacher, no matter what Mr. Tang is younger than us, but in the eyes of others, he seems to be eager for quick success. Brother Li, your reputation is not good—"
Li Yifu's ordinary face slowly revealed a look of helplessness, and that look revealed a firmness.
"Brother Ma, do you know that there are more than 300 people in the Imperial College this year, and more than 290 of them are from the Guanzhong gentry family. They can all be recommended by their families and serve as officials in various places. The remaining people are only about 30, and most of them are not more than a few. I come from a poor family."
"But if these people want to get ahead and become officials, they must either pass the imperial examination, or they can only join the gentry family and be ordered around. In the end, they will only get a small official position."
"After all he has learned in his life, he can only be as good as a dog making tea. I am not willing to accept it!"
Ma Zhou suddenly fell silent. He had now seen the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty.
No matter how passionate your blood is, it will never cool down, and even if you enter this officialdom, which is like a millstone, you won't be able to splash a single drop of water.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to get the help of Mr. Tang, not only would he have been given the official position of Taichang Si in the imperial court, he would have been just a person trying to survive.
In this world, there are too many literati who have learned all their lives and made songs out of nothing. Most of these people come from poor families.
Just because they have no profit background, they spend their whole lives buried. No matter how good you are and how talented you are, of course, ahem, if you are as talented as Mr. Tang, you will be inferior to others throughout your life.
He understood what Li Yifu did, but it was because of his understanding that he realized that Li Yifu was somewhat eager for quick success, at least on the surface.
"Then, why is Brother Li so happy and willing to become Master Tang's disciple?"
Li Yifu's ordinary and honest eyes became profound, and he said.
"Brother Ma may have felt that Yifu was a little utilitarian, so Yifu made it clear. You said before that Mr. Tang knew several great scholars in the imperial court, and even the princes, and they were even close friends."
"You can think about it, if Mr. Tang is still extremely talented, how could he do this?"
Ma Zhou had to shake his head.
In Chang'an, if you come from a poor family, no matter how talented you are, it is still possible to get ahead, but you can be considered as equal to the great Confucian ministers in the court and even the princes.
What is needed is not some talent or lack of talent.
Li Yifu looked determined, and then looked at Ma Zhou with a deep look.
Then I heard Li Yifu continue to speak.
"And there have been rumors for a long time that the son of the county prince is willing to worship Mr. Tang as his disciple. How can it be possible that a talented man can do this?"
"Furthermore, Mr. Tang is an enemy of the noble family, but now he can still keep his body intact, advance and retreat freely, and can be awarded the title of nobility by the court. For these two points alone, there is no one in the past who can compare to Mr. Tang. ?”
"In the eyes of others, Mr. Tang is just a businessman and a man of extraordinary talents. But if he can do these things, he is also a man with hands and eyes, and a resourcefulness that is almost demonic. A person like this, whether he is talented in literature or military, or The wisdom of the world is far beyond what I can match!"
"Being a disciple of such a person, the Yi family has reached a high level, so why should you care about worldly thoughts?"
Ma Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If these remarks were made, from the perspective that he and Mr. Tang had known each other for a long time, they might be logical, but Brother Li could see this through the eyes of an outsider.
It can be said that you can see the leopard through the tube, and your mind is sharp.
"Brother Li is very smart and intelligent."
"Oh, Yifu just has nothing to do on weekdays, so he just thinks blindly."
Immediately, Li Yifu's deep eyes changed, and his expression seemed to have a simple and honest expression engraved in his bones.
This is Li Yifu. In the Tang Dynasty, he could go from a poor man to a powerful prime minister. Why not have his thoughtful and sinister vision and insight?
"Brother Ma, a man like Mr. Tang saved all the people from fire and water, and did not care about the secular people. How can such a man be compared to the great Confucian scholar? Yifu respects him with all his heart, so Yifu is willing to accept Mr. Tang as his disciple!"
"Besides -"
I could hear Li Yifu's words contemplating.
I couldn't help but say something.
"Brother Li, it's okay to say -"
"In this Tang Dynasty, several great gentry and civil servants are on the same side. In this Tang Dynasty, the Yifu can only see the aspirations of our humble family from people like Mr. Tang. We also hope that one day, we can realize the aspirations of our humble officials." The ambition is to serve the people!”
After hearing this, Ma Zhou understood Li Yifu's thoughts.
Yifu's family was in decline. In his early years, because his grandfather was the Prime Minister of Shehong County, he moved to Yongtai, and he studied hard for a long time.
Understand the suffering of the people and the helplessness of poor families.
In Chang'an, results are often more important than process.
Brother Li is very wise.
If I had known...
Ahem...
Ma Zhou's face straightened and he said, "Brother Li, but... Mr. Tang seems to be reluctant today."
"Then you can enter the family of Mr. Tang so easily? Isn't it funny? What Mr. Tang said today is not sincere and has profound meaning. I will never give up easily!"
Li Yifu smiled resolutely, his eyes showing confusion and confusion...
…
At this moment, Tang Sufan didn't know that Li Yifu, a famous traitor in history, was quickly thinking of something to do by just saying goodbye and wanting to watch the fun.
At this moment, Tang Sufan was looking at the passing Tang woman leisurely.
The style of women in the Tang Dynasty was more open, even close to that of later generations.
The so-called beauty of women in the Tang Dynasty is not that fatter is better, but fat where fat should be. This makes Tang Sufan happy.
The so-called beauty is like a peach in three springs, and pure is like a chrysanthemum in nine autumns. It is the most suitable to describe the women of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially Tang Sufan's unique temperament and face like a "little pretty face" made many women look back with infinite charm.
Always challenging Tang Sufan's weaknesses...
The so-called appreciation of beautiful women is a man's lifelong pursuit. In addition, there are so many beauties in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. This sight lasts another hour.
"Ahem, Liu Xiao, look, there must be at least D...tsk, tsk, tsk, tell me, this young lady from a rich family is very well-nourished..."
As Tang Sufan walked, he couldn't help but murmured and analyzed it carefully.
"Ah...oh oh oh, the young master is absolutely right."
Liu Xiao nodded quickly and replied stupidly.
younger brother? What brother?
Forget it, I have long been used to the weird words in the young master's mouth.
Tang Sufan's face suddenly relaxed. Suddenly, he missed those cheaters who went out to fight and gain credit.
Being in a group with Liu Xiao, we couldn't talk about anything for a long time.
This is just looking at beautiful women. From an artistic point of view, can't you be more energetic?
