Li Quan didn't understand what was going on in these people's minds at all, so he didn't think much about it, and said with a bitter face, "I searched, of course I have to search."

"Ugh!"

Everyone sighed and reprimanded Li Quan with a look of hatred, saying that he didn't know how to cherish opportunities.

Everyone in the Imperial Academy has the same embarrassment. Although they hold official positions, because they are reserve officials, their monthly salaries are very small, so they can barely get by.

In the eyes of outsiders, the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy can be said to be infinitely beautiful, but only they themselves know that each of them is a poor and a poor man!

For them, money is a rare thing, and it has a fatal attraction to them, so they dream of becoming officials with real power.

Li Quan's experience made everyone naturally fantasize that if he became the magistrate of Bizhou, he would have to take it with a degree, honestly not greedy so much, and living a comfortable life would be refreshing!

While sighing, Lu Fang, the academician in charge of the academy, said coldly: "Li Shidao, you are afraid that what you said is not true? Although the imperial court will confiscate the public, but Li Shidao has been operating in Bizhou for many years, why didn't he bring his son to hide his secrets? "

Li Quan thought about it again, but he really didn't know what is the use of discussing these here?I'm too lazy to care about it, I thought that whatever you say is what it is!replied:

"There is indeed some spare money, which can be used for the rest of my life."

Li Quan felt that what he said was very low-key, but he didn't expect that it still caused a burst of exclamation from the crowd.

The remaining money is enough for the rest of my life!

For everyone in the Imperial Academy, that is a lot of money!

Now, everyone looked at Li Quan with golden eyes, like a group of perverts staring at a naked girl.

Li Quan's heart trembled, what kind of look was this?

At this time, Lu Fang said again.

"Since Shi Li said that he has some spare money, why don't you invite me to have a meal at the restaurant next door? It's better than drinking sake and light tea here, right?"

"That's right! That's right! Li Shi said that it's your fault. I waited and treated you like this. If you have money, why don't you treat everyone to a meal?"

"..." Li Quan was speechless, and it could be said that he was inexplicable.

Are there still people in the world who take the initiative to invite people to treat them?And it looks like a matter of course.

Li Quan thought to himself, I am not marrying a wife, why should I treat him?Treat me like this?It's just plain sake tea, can you be more casual?

The key is their tone, as if they are wrong if they don't treat guests, which makes people really headache.I thought that sitting under the tree like this was arty for this group of people, but it turned out to be even more unbearable. It was simply a helpless act without money. .

Li Quan finally understood that he was poor in front of him, as if he had never eaten meat in his life.

That's all, just please!After all, we still need to get along with each other for some time in the future.

……

……

There is a restaurant opposite the Imperial Academy. Because there are not many rich people near the Imperial Academy, the structure of the restaurant is not high-end, but it is comparable to the old restaurants in Songren Street.

On the same street, the shopkeepers of the restaurant knew that these seemingly glamorous literati were actually poor ghosts with no money.

In the past, it must have been a shame to come here, but today is different.

A large group of people came together today.This kind of situation will only happen when someone is being taken advantage of. The store owner knows that this meal is lucrative, so he greeted him enthusiastically.

It was said that it was Li Quan's treat, but it was Lu Fang who hosted it, as if he didn't understand politeness at all.

It was the first time for Li Quan to deal with this kind of out-and-out literati. What this kind of literati did made Li Quan very unhappy. Since he was an old man, he didn't want to bother with him.

After everyone was seated, Lu Fang ordered food and wine.

The things were assembled quickly, and upon closer inspection, I found that they were all vegetarian!

"Is this person so nice? Is it to save money for me? But there are many dishes!"

"Alas, it's not easy to eat a meal, and it's like this again."

Someone around him complained softly, but Li Quan keenly caught it.

Li Quan was very curious, and asked in a low voice: "Why? Do you always do this?"

The person who spoke replied: "As long as you are with the master of the courtyard, you will never feel comfortable."

"How?"

"My lord is a vegetarian and does not eat meat. When his mother was critically ill, he promised in front of the Bodhisattva. Now he has eaten it for more than ten years. He doesn't eat meat, so I don't want to eat it. It makes people very angry."

Li Quan was puzzled: "If he doesn't eat, he won't eat, you eat yours!"

"How can it be? If the head of the court sees me eating meat, he wants to eat but dare not eat it, and even gets angry when he is entangled. When the court employs people, we still count on him to be a referral, how dare we argue with him?"

Li Quan is on fire now. He took office well, but who would have thought that he would meet such a wonderful person?

"Son, bring the recipe!"

In a fit of rage, Li Quan wanted to order again.

Lu Fang refused, thinking that Li Quan didn't know his own habits, so he smiled and explained: "Li Shi said, you don't know something, this old man can't eat meat."

"I know." Li Quan replied easily, "Your Excellency, you can be a vegetarian yourself. I won't be able to swallow a meal without meat."

"This..." Lu Fang frowned, thought for a long time, and emphasized again, "Li Shi said, the old man is old, so what should I do to accommodate the old man for once?"

Li Quan also pretended to be troubled: "Is that so? Then there is really nothing to do. Li is a person who has no meat and no joy. Looking at a table of vegetarian dishes, he really has no appetite. If you want to eat, Li will look elsewhere for food. ?”

With that said, Li Quan was about to leave.

How can this work?So many people are still counting on Li Quan for food money!

This is the first time for Lu Fang to meet this kind of strange person. If he doesn't eat meat, will he lose his appetite?What's the point?There is no way, the money is on others, so I have to submit.However, Lu Fang now has a look of displeasure.

After such a commotion, some big meat was placed on every table. Except for Lu Fang, everyone looked happy, and they became more enthusiastic about Li Quan.

The ancient people were superstitious. If they swear not to eat meat in front of the Bodhisattva, they really do not eat meat. I don't know what promise they made could make him stick to it for so long.

However, this meal was particularly unpleasant for Lu Fang. Seeing the people at the same table eat oily and smooth, he could only swallow his mouth. Although there are many dishes, why can't he satisfy his hunger like fat meat?

"My lord, don't eat fast. The so-called wine and meat pass through the intestines. The Buddha kept it in his heart. We don't engage in formalism. We eat what we should eat and drink what we should drink. We will worship Buddha and chant sutras as usual when we go back."

Li Quan cheaply brought a big lump of braised pork to Lu Fang, who saw Lu Fang slobbering into his stomach, hating Li Quan to death, knowing that this guy was trying to seduce him!

"Don't eat, don't eat." Lu Fang waved his hands irritably, but at this time, a fat scholar with no eyesight snatched it with his chopsticks.

"I eat!"
