Chapter 284: Respect And Benefits
By the time the shadow guard carried him away, his limbs were already drooping weakly, his seven orifices were bleeding, and he probably couldn't do anything except pant for breath.
Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue exhaled, with relaxed and happy expressions on their faces.
Xu Qing pulled Su Qian's bare hand and smiled, "Young lady can be more ruthless in the future. If she is not ruthless, ordinary people will look down on us. Back then, as a husband, I still remember that my lady always draws her sword."
Hearing this, Su Qian couldn't help showing a look of astonishment on her face, and then said with a smile: "Then from now on, the husband will have to clean up the mess for the concubine, and don't let others come to the door."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, if there is such a short-sighted person again, the lady will just do it, and if something happens, I will take care of my husband."
Xiao Ruxue looked at the increasingly dark sky, pulled Su Qian over and said, "Sister Su, the banquet is about to begin, let's go in first."
After Su Qian was dragged away by Xiao Ruxue, Xu Qing looked at Li Ming who was standing beside the lotus pond without a single lotus, frowned and said, "How could you be with such a fool? That's how my uncle taught me." yours?"
Xiao Ye looked at Li Ming, then turned his head to look at Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu knows him?"
Xu Qing said: "On my lady's birthday last time, my uncle's only son."
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "I see."
Li Ming was just the son of a member of the Branch Division, Wailang, and he was not yet liked by his father. At this moment, he seemed embarrassed to meet this eldest son, a county uncle, and tears fell from his anxious eyes.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ye frowned slightly, and turned his head away, a man was crying so unbecomingly, if it wasn't for crying and breaking the law, he really wanted to beat him up together.
Xu Qing walked over to look at Li Ming and said, "A man doesn't shed his tears easily, and if he knows his mistakes, he can make things better. Didn't anyone teach you these two sentences? What's the use of crying?"
Li Ming looked at Xu Qing with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was wrong? What's wrong with me? You are the county uncle of Anding. At home, you are liked by your wife, and you are protected by your father-in-law. Outside, you can be with the prince and the princess. What about me?" ?”
"Father at home hates me, and has never even looked at me in the eye! People outside look down on me too! I can only please a little bit of the son of a servant, in order to give my father some help in the officialdom in the future, Make my father look me in the eye."
"My father doesn't like my mother, and he doesn't like me, but what's wrong with me?! What's wrong with me?! Why am I not liked by my father?!"
Xu Qing said: "Please please the son of the servant of the household department? You can't get the respect of others by being courteous, you can only get the contempt of others. How can Song Mingzhe look down on a person who flatters him? You don't even have self-esteem in order to please him Already?!"
Li Ming stared at Xu Qing, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are lofty! You are amazing! You are the county magistrate of Anding who is in charge of the entire National Chamber of Commerce? You can easily gain the friendship of His Royal Highness, how about me? I have nothing!"
"In this world, how many people throw their self-esteem on the ground and let others trample on it in exchange for a chance to climb up?! What does it matter if I have one more Li Ming?"
"As long as I can help my father, as long as I can get my father to look at me differently, what is dignity?! I don't want it! I don't want anything! I don't care!"
"You are Uncle Anding, you have a happy family, you can't imagine what kind of life I am in, why does God treat me so unfairly?!"
Xu Qing looked at Li Ming with red eyes and said, "Oh? I have everything since the beginning? My Anding county uncle was not born with me. I was a small catcher in Yong'an County at the beginning. You are Yuanwailang after all. My son, who came from a better background and family background than me, and at least your father is still there, so in comparison, who is God treating unfairly?"
In terms of resentment, Xu Qing is no less than him! A great future in another world was still waiting for him, but he suddenly came over, not only did he come over, but he had to start from scratch.
Did he complain about all this?
Uh... well, he did complain when he first arrived...
After hearing Xu Qing's words, Li Ming was suddenly stunned. Compared with Xu Qing himself, he seemed to be much luckier. At least he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking since he was a child.
Xu Qing looked at Li Ming who was stunned, and continued to educate him: "I also became the county magistrate step by step, and became the president of the National Business School. No one can succeed casually. It has to go through hardships. Is it easy for me?" ? Me, ahem, it doesn’t seem too difficult, wait a moment, I’ll organize the language.”
Originally, Li Ming, who was in a better mood just now, almost burst into tears again. Was he specially sent by heaven to fight against own?
...
After Xu Qing organized his words, he said: "You are groveling to please Song Mingzhe, but you know that groveling is to sacrifice dignity in order to get what you want, and it is not absolute. After such a long time, Song Mingzhe Did you get a little favor and what you wanted?"
Li Ming's body visibly trembled when he heard this, obviously Xu Qing was right.
Xu Qing continued: "And what will happen to those who rely on groveling and groveling? Even if you become an official, can you treat the people under you well? Can you treat your own subordinates well?"
"I have seen a lot of people like this, and very few of them can stick to their hearts, and once most people succeed in achieving their goals, they will need innocent people to vent their dissatisfaction and the humiliation they have suffered over the years, forming an endless loop, thus As a result, the court and local officials are not as good as one generation after another."
"You come from a scholarly family and have read the books of sages. Is this the way to be a man? Is it the way to be an official?"
Hearing Xu Qing's words, Li Ming obviously lost the feeling of complaining just now, and said with red eye circles: "I...I just want my father to look me in the eye."
Xu Qing looked at him and said, "So you went to bow your knees to curry favor with that Song Mingzhe?"
Li Ming looked at Xu Qing and said, "I failed the imperial examination twice, I... don't know what to do."
Xu Qing said: "Wait for me at the State Chamber of Commerce tomorrow. As long as you ensure that you have the talent and value for me to use, your father will not only look at you seriously, but also be proud of you. Telling you today can bring you respect and respect at the same time." A method of benefit, mutual benefit! Of course, I have the benefits you want here, but you must also have value that can be used by me. This is an opportunity, do you want it or not?"
Li Ming looked at Xu Qing, his eyes became fiery: "Yes!"
Xu Qing nodded and walked back, suddenly, his footsteps stopped: "Also, I will give you what should be given to you, but what should not be taken should not be thought of, if you covet it, then Song Mingzhe is a lesson from the past! "
Li Ming looked at Xu Qing's back, took a deep breath and said, "Li Ming, keep this in mind!"
Xu Qing and Xiao Ye raised their feet and walked towards the palace.
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu's last sentence just now doesn't seem to have much respect for him."
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Brother Xiao forgot what I just said, respect is only about mutual benefit, he has not created value, and there is no absolute respect and absolute equality in this world, everything is relative, really In comparison, I spent a long time trying to enlighten him and lead him on the right track, isn't it much better than that Song Mingzhe who gave him a bad check and yelled at him directly?"
Xiao Ye nodded and said: "I understand the truth, it's just..."
"What is it?"
"What's a bad check?"
