Life Hunter

His father had lost his official position, and the yamen of the Ministry of Industry were full of gossips.

There was a ninth-grade junior official sitting with him at the banquet today. The two had conflicts in their positions and both wanted to move forward. The other party relied on his grandfather to be a high-grade official. Although he did not curse him directly, he secretly praised him many times. , which made him very unhappy.

Lou Yushan originally planned to take Li Qingxian to toast his family, but when he went downstairs, he realized something was wrong. He and Li Qingxian were not familiar with each other. Favors can only be used once. Instead of using them at the banquet, it is better to find a way to use them in the yamen. After all, Li Qingxian and Liu Muwa Sizheng have a very good relationship. The two sides had their second cooperation in Qiyuan City a while ago, and they always heard Liu Muwa praising Li Qingxian.

Lou Yushan sighed. Li Qingxian could solve his and his family's difficulties with just one sentence, but he was hesitant and confused about how to use this sentence. He had to go back to discuss it with his father.

He washed his face, walked to his original private room, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, forced a smile, and then pushed the door open and entered.

There were seven people sitting inside, two of whom had toasted with him.

Lou Yushan looked at everyone with a smile. He thought that after toasting Li Qingxian, everyone would have a great change in their view of him, but he didn't expect that the seven people were all smiling, but their smiles were like wooden sculptures, stiff and weird.

Sitting on the main seat was Yuan Cheng, the director of the Department of Civil Artifacts. He nodded and said, "Yushan is back? Sit down."

Lou Yushan felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he still took out the words he had made up on the way back. He sat down and said with a smile: "Qingxian chatted with me for a long time, and told me to talk about it carefully. I must bring him with me to the next class reunion. Qingxian is here People spend all their time studying fortune-telling, so they are not good at socializing, and we are all used to it."

Opposite me, a drunken young man swayed slightly and said with a smile: "Yushan, I'm not talking about you, Qiyuan Hou is Qiyuan Hou, a dignified third-grade official, it's inappropriate for you to call me that behind your back."

Lou Yushan looked at Jia Ming, took a deep breath, and said with a dry smile: "I drank too much, and I'm used to it. Next time I will call him Mr. Li."

Jia Ming put down his wine glass, leaned back on the chair, pressed his left hand on the armrest to keep his balance, and said sternly: "Brother Yushan, what you said is wrong. You are only a tenth-grade person. How many grades are you different from a third-grade one? Don't you know? I I say this for your own good. You are good at everything else, but you are too greedy. Can you call Mr. Li by his name? "

Lou Yushan's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the others and found that even Duan Qing, the chief financial officer of the Civil War Department who usually looked after him, was looking down at the table in front of him without saying a word.

"Master Jia, you drank too much." Lou Yushan said solemnly.

Jia Ming smiled and continued with the strength of his wine: "Yushan, everyone sitting here is not an outsider. Today I just want to say something private. Who is Ren Qiyuanhou? What do you compare to others? My father. He is Mr. Gang Feng, who is well-known in the country, and his uncle is the beauty Zhou Chunfeng. Even though he is now in decline, he is still the person Zhao Shouxu values ​​​​. Your whole family can't compare, why should you live in peace and quiet? "

When Lou Yushan heard the word "down and out", he was confused and worried. He hadn't heard anything about Li Qingxian recently.

When he was about to retort, Duan Qing winked, and Lou Yushan immediately shut his mouth, feeling uneasy.

Seeing that Lou Yushan didn't dare to speak, Jia Ming became more and more excited. The wine and blood rushed into his brain together, and he blurted out: "You are not only making trouble here, but also in the yamen. Your grandfather is only a fifth-rank official, why do you belong to my family?" Fighting for the family status of the third grade? In this world, a son inherits his father's inheritance. Whatever your family status is, you should do things related to your family status. If you forget about it, you will have to pay the price!"

Lou Yushan's face was red and he held his hands tightly under the table.

Yuan Cheng, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned slightly and then put it away, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, come on, finish your glass of wine, and then we'll leave."

Jia Ming was startled, and immediately picked up the cup with both hands, saying: "I drank too much, drank too much, and spoke indiscriminately. I will punish myself with a cup. Please forgive me, colleagues." After speaking, he filled the cup and drank it in one gulp. All.

The others looked at each other without saying a word.

"I'll put some more water in." Lou Yushan drank the wine in one gulp, turned around and left.

Jia Ming curled his lips and said in a low voice: "You are so angry."

Lou Yushan's face turned red and purple, he quickened his pace and rushed to the yard, sat in the pavilion and sighed.

After a long time, a familiar voice asked: "Yushan?"

When Lou Yushan saw it was Li Qingxian, he hurriedly turned his head away, wiped his face with his sleeve, then turned around and said with a smile: "I drank too much, I just washed my face, sit here."

Li Qingxian said, "When I just went downstairs, I heard someone mention you."

Li Qingxian took back "it sounds ugly" and did not say it out loud.

Lou Yushan's eyes widened and he cursed in a low voice: "It must be Jia Ming's grandson who is setting me up behind my back. When I was in the Yamen, he always told me that only a fifth-grade family should respect itself. Today when I arrived at the wine shop, in front of In front of everyone, his family's third-grade family status is used as a reason. What's there to say? His grandfather was a third-grade man, but he retired a long time ago. He will never think about third-grade family in his life!"

"What's wrong?" Li Qingxian asked.

Lou Yushan was so angry that he recounted the fight between the two and Jia Ming's words one by one, and finally said: "Yes, I admit that he has a higher family status, but he can't bully others like this!"

Li Qingxian was silent for a while, then said: "I seem to have heard what he said somewhere."

Lou Yushan was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered the scene in Zuixiang Residence two years ago. At that time, in front of Li Qingxian, he ridiculed Dai Tie, who was born as a commoner, for not knowing current affairs, not understanding the importance of family background, and saying that the world It is right to pass down the inheritance from father to son, and today...

Lou Yushan wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Li Qingxian comforted him casually: "Don't take this matter to heart. Since he is obsessed with family status, there will always be someone with a higher family status than him. If he can treat you like this, it means that others can treat him in the same way. There will always be times when he is unlucky.”

Lou Yushan's face burned red.

Li Qingxian was stunned for a moment, then said hurriedly: "I didn't mean that...forget it, you go home early and have a good sleep. I'm going back soon, and I'm going to find someone to learn fortune-telling in two days, so I can't be careless."

Seeing Li Qingxian leave again, Lou Yushan was embarrassed and worried, and hurried home to find his father.

After hearing what his father said that Li Qingxian had lost his actual position in the Night Guard, and might even be sidelined and become hostile to the King of Chu, Lou Yushan panicked.

He went back to his room and thought about it for a long time. Finally, he got drunk and lay there in a daze, thinking to himself. If the class reunion was postponed for a while longer, it would not be too late to wait until the matter about Li Qingxian was finalized before making a decision. He was already in a precarious position in the Ministry of Works. What if? If he offends King Chu's people again, the consequences will be disastrous.

The next day, Li Qingxian woke up and went straight to the Night Guard Black Light Division to find Guo Xiang.

"Lao Guo, I want to learn the situation well, please show me the way." Li Qingxian picked up the teapot on Guo Xiang's desk and poured water as he spoke.

"Study the situation? Go to the life magic teahouse." Guo Xiang raised his head and said, "Oh, I forgot, after you became a life magician, you didn't stay in the gods for long, so I didn't take you there."
