One-two-eight answers to the uncle’s love luck?

Not to mention Yuan Xu, even the dozen or so young maids who were walking between the banquet serving wine and serving dishes all lost their dignity and covered their mouths in laughter. Although all of them were blushing, they still couldn't bear to leave the banquet.

They all raised their ears and listened secretly. Among them, there was a little girl who seemed to be particularly enthusiastic and frequently poured wine for the banquet.

Who do you think you are? This guy has two careers - government civil servant and trading company manager. They are all high-end jobs that require "alcohol testing". Without the belly of Red Star Erguotou, which is more than half a catty, there is no way he can do a good job.

This sweet and greasy low-alcohol rice wine was treated like sugar water in his eyes, and of course he would not refuse anyone who came. And the more the guy drank, the more excited he became, the more he drank, the more he talked, and the more he became more and more unscrupulous, and his eyes began to wander around those

The servant girl was walking around.

For the "beauties" of the Ming Dynasty, everyone had no hope at all. During the half year or so in Lingao, they had enough appetite. But unknowingly, the level of pickiness was probably also decreasing - this time when I came to Qiongzhou, I felt that women

It was a lot of fun to watch. The good-for-nothing Hu Kai even couldn't forget a certain old lady in the brothel.

Now I finally see a girl from a wealthy family. Although she is just a servant, her food conditions are obviously much better than those of ordinary civilians. There are no signs of malnutrition, her body develops normally, her skin is more delicate, and her teeth are better protected... This is reflected in

In appearance, she is basically the same as a modern little girl of the same age.

Since these maids can be selected to entertain guests, naturally none of them are too ugly. The eldest among them is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest is only fourteen or fifteen years old. They are about the age of a flower. Although the level of makeup in the Ming Dynasty was really low.

, Fortunately, these little girls are now wearing bare faces, which is in line with modern people's aesthetics.

Xu Yuanwai must have given instructions in advance, and these maids are basically one person to serve one. Of course, it is not possible to "serve" like in a modern nightclub, but they are just holding the pot and adding wine, and helping to arrange the dishes.

Most adults with social experience can take this calmly. Some have better habits, like Ao Sayang. Pang Yu and others never forget to thank them every time, which makes the maids quite surprised. But like Hu

Kai. Xu Lei and other high school students were not used to this posture, so they looked a little embarrassed. Fortunately, this was not a nightclub after all. No one laughed at these young children, and no one dared to tease them - although the maids

There is also a slight smile on the corners of the mouth.

The guy who was serving the banquet was originally able to maintain an upright posture like the other companions, and he only chatted and laughed with the host Xu Jing and the accompanying guest Lao Yan and others. But later, the drunkenness gradually took hold. He finally lost his composure.

. He probably accidentally mistook the girl next to him who kept pouring wine for him as the promotion lady in the hotel. Finally, when the girl secretly poured wine into his glass again, Lao Jie grabbed her hand and said to her.

A few funny words.

——The Conscience of Heaven and Earth is actually just a common joke, with a little bit of ambiguity. In modern times, any sales promotion lady with a little bit of experience would fight back with a smile, and then punish the other party with a large glass of wine... But,

This is the Ming Dynasty.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl's face suddenly turned red. She broke free from the paws that were holding the table and ran out without even having time to put down the wine bottle in her hand. She never came in again.

Under the table, two big feet on the left and right stepped on Lao Jie at the same time. The latter actually lost his composure for a moment, and then immediately woke up, but at this time he had to cover his face with wine. He said a few self-deprecating jokes to cover up.

Xu Jing, the master, didn't look unhappy at all. Instead, he laughed happily:

"Is it true that a famous person is in a romantic mood? It's still a pleasure to relieve my brother!"

The meal finally came to an end, and the servants served tea and snacks. Anyone who has watched "Dream of Red Mansions" knows that in this big family, there are many rules for the last snack. Pang Yu and others have already quietly reminded everyone: look carefully.

After understanding Lao Yan's actions, he followed them. After being careful, no one drank the first mouthwash tea as a drink.

After rinsing the mouth and cleansing the face, the real tea was served. Being able to drink authentic Longjing tea in a small place like Hainan really made Lao Jie and the others have a high regard for the strength of the Xu family - but they didn't know

, Xu Yuanwai over there could casually identify West Lake Longjing, Junshan Silver Needle and other world-famous teas among these people. He was also secretly surprised in his heart.

Tea time after a meal is often a formal chat period. Usually, business discussions are left at this time. But Xu Jing is quite sensible, and he knows it very well - before he knows the quotations of other customers.

, these shorthairs couldn't possibly give him any promises. He didn't want to reveal the bottom line of his negotiation in advance, so the two parties didn't talk much about business matters. It was just a casual chat.

After this conversation, Xu Daguan became more and more astonished - the shorthairs in front of him were really knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. People like Xu Jing, who are both businessmen and able to read a lot,

They should be regarded as the most knowledgeable group in this era. But in front of these shorthairs, they are nothing at all - no matter what anecdotes Xu Jing talks about, they can pick up a few sentences casually, and they can also

It's not just a general agreement, it's really quite understanding. He, Old Xu, has never heard of many of the extended principles and secrets in his life.

Then we talked about numbers. Arithmetic is an essential skill for businessmen, and of course it is also Xu Yuanwai’s most proud strength. But soon his self-confidence was shattered. Just like Master Li Changqian, he was

He discovered that all of these shorthairs could actually do calculations, and after they easily solved practical problems that he considered quite difficult to solve, such as calculating compound interest on loans, or the area of ​​irregular plots, many of them were able to solve them easily.

The curiosity of the senior officials could no longer be suppressed.

Without hesitation, he began to carefully inquire about the cultural level of this group of people. Jie Xi was still a little confused and didn't understand, but Pang Yu understood it immediately.

"Haha, the education system over there is different from here. But we can make a rough analogy..."

Pang Yu briefly introduced the content of the nine-year compulsory teaching. Graduating from primary school is roughly equivalent to a child; graduating from middle school is roughly equivalent to a scholar; as for taking the college entrance examination, since the college entrance examination has always been considered the last remnant of the traditional Chinese imperial examination system, it is difficult to pass the exam.

It doesn't seem wrong that college is equivalent to passing the exam.

"So... you all have the honor of being a civil servant?"

Xu someone was immediately in awe. No matter what time, scholars are always very respected - even if they are short-haired.

"Oh, as I said before, the education system is different. The content we study is more than the Four Books and Five Classics, and the criterion for judging is not just writing an article. "

Pang Yu replied with a smile, but he was not just modest - after all, he had been in the society for so many years and it was impossible for him to brag about himself.

"However, most of us are indeed highly educated. In terms of the breadth of knowledge we have, it is definitely no worse than the people who were elected and Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty. "

Xu Jing, Yan Wenchang and other local gentry looked at each other. If ordinary people were bragging like this, they would definitely not believe it. But judging from the amazing insights these shorthairs showed; their polite attitude in dealing with others, and their clarity in dealing with problems.

Thoughts - Although these people don't know what "logic" means, they can still feel that the other party has always acted in a very orderly manner.

And most importantly: the technical products these people have produced. All of this undoubtedly shows that these "short-haired" people have extremely high cultural levels.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was almost impossible for illiterate people to pass themselves off as scholars, because others could tell at a glance whether someone had read or not. The religious atmosphere in ancient China had never been strong, and those with a little knowledge had little understanding of the relationship between ghosts and gods.

I've always said it with scorn.

Judging from the "comprehensive quality" of these shorthairs - of course Xu Yuanwai and others do not know this term, but this does not prevent them from looking at each other from a comprehensive perspective - if they do not want to admit that these people are gods and the like

, then there is only one explanation left...

"It will take three years for scholars to rebel. But if such a group of senior officials rise up to rebel..."

Mr. Xu quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked back at Yan Wenchang, and immediately decided in his heart: He wanted to strengthen the connection with this person, and of course, more importantly, he had to establish a good relationship with this group of shorthairs.

The banquet finally ended with warm, frank, and good-natured laughter, and the host and guest had constructive talks. Both parties believed that through this gathering, political mutual trust was enhanced and mutual exchanges were strengthened. Everyone agreed that at the appropriate time

, for further contact.

——The above is the end of the report that Jie Xi plans to send to the main base in Lingao after he returns. In this kind of communication with important local figures, Professor Li repeatedly told them to let them know the whole process. When everyone left happily

When Xu Mansion was walking back to the warehouse, which was not too far away, Lao Jie was writing a manuscript along the way.

There were not many people on the street, and when they saw this large group of shorthairs coming, they didn’t disperse in a hurry. They just did whatever they had to do. This is a good sign that the locals have fully accepted their existence.

However, when they walked to the door of their warehouse compound, they saw a small group of idlers gathered there, chattering and pointing at something. After the banquet, they were getting drunk and their tempers were rising again:

"What's going on? Does anyone dare to cause trouble in front of our house?"

When they went out to the banquet, no one brought a long gun, but the May 4th pistol was still hidden in their clothes. Lao Jie patted the holster on his waist and greeted him aggressively. The idlers immediately dispersed, revealing a small blue cloth sedan in the middle.

, and two silly bearers.

The curtain was opened, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came out, carrying a small floral cloth package in her hand - the same one who had been teased by the banquet earlier.

At this time, the girl's face was still bright red, but she did not run away again. Instead, she lowered her head tremblingly, knelt down and gave a blessing. Her voice was low, but she shouted clearly:
Chapter completed!
