Out of the cage

Chapter 1556 Chapter 31.07 Diplomacy of the Weak

Li Xu met Miss Sun. Strictly speaking, she was still a female high school student and didn't understand anything. And because she was pregnant, her mouth had the sour smell of morning sickness and her mood was unstable. So I didn't argue with her.

In just five minutes of meeting, Miss Sun's attitude towards Li Chu was still condescending. After being betrayed by a man, you have to make up for the shortcomings in your heart, and you will be mean to another man to make up for it.

Li Zhu: This lady, who is neatly dressed and has a stern face, still looks like a rich lady. Now she just wants to make up for herself that she looked down on before. ——As for me, I am poor and short-minded, so I can only coax and guard.

During the conversation, the Miss Sun family deliberately only talked about topics where Li Xu was not dominant, such as "city center" and "Jiao Wei Qin". She also asked about Li Xu's hometown, intentionally or unintentionally waking up Li Xu.

Li Zhu: It is true that I took over the transaction as a bride-in-law, but the transaction has been completed. As for letting me lick it, that is another set of services, which requires extra money.

So after meeting the Miss Sun family, when his cheap father-in-law still pretended to talk about the Sun family's rules and had a condescending attitude, Li Xu also politely came up with his plan to study, and he wanted to enroll in the school. "Lian Xin College" also named the "Yang Energy" subject, a key subject.

Li Zhu calculated the accounts in detail. The annual tuition fee is twenty-three taels of silver, and the scientific research expenses are one hundred taels. In addition, after choosing a subject when enrolling and becoming a teacher, he also needs a apprenticeship ceremony.

After Li Xu gave his conditions, the Sun family's grandfather had already left, leaving only the Sun family's boss to confront him.

In the eyes of the Sun family, Li Chu's attitude was all about money and connections, and he was not like a good man. Unless he had no choice, he would never recruit such a "son of a servant" into the family.

Li Xu saw through the mentality behind the expressions of these people and sneered in his heart: "Tsk tsk, you are the one who wants to recruit people. Don't always expect others to be obedient and only help you solve your problems without thinking about what you should do. Why? Just because you are a wealthy family and your family tradition cannot be sacrificed, can you ignore my request?"

The saying "weak countries have no diplomacy" is not correct. Weak countries need diplomacy more and express their strategic will. You can't be like Li Hongzhang, who fools the court while dealing with foreigners and acting as a broker.

The strong country throws a series of bills to the weak country. If the weak country fully complies, then the strong country will throw more bills. If you are completely overdrawn to the breaking point, the weak country must also list the costs for the strong country. Only by insisting on going its own way can the strong country seriously consider whether to "forcefully twist" or "take it lightly."

When Li Zhen met (blind date) with Miss Sun, he responded with the attitude of coaxing a child.

However, the head of the Sun family was extremely serious. He spent a whole night listing in detail every expense required to enter the school, as well as the obligations he had to abide by, and handed them to the other party.

Li Zhu: This is the same as when I saw the injured martial artist a year ago. You must show self-respect during dialogue, and you must not show "just a grain of poison can be easily grasped." Boys can be poor in body but not in ambition. They should be relieved of the embarrassment of the poor and understand the contempt of the rich.

Old God Li Xu was always watching the eldest son of the Sun family trying to persuade him not to be too stubborn.

In his words: "I'm not trying to discourage you. You need qualifications to continue studying."

In his thoughts, Mr. Wei couldn't help but turn to the scholar's foreign history, and the butcher's words to Fan Jin, "Everyone who succeeds in the examination is a Wenqu star in the sky."

Therefore, Li Xue laughed hard at Ji Ji Wai Wai's words of "doing it for your own good".

Being so "stubborn" (in the eyes of the Sun family) there is really no room for discussion.

Li Xu sighed in his heart: "These guys who claim to be local wealthy people can think highly of me and recruit me as their wife today because of my status as a scholar. This is something I have that they don't have, so if I want them to think highly of me, I must continue to work in the family." Let’s continue on this road of imperial examination.”

Narrator: Just like in the ancient industrial age, corporate bosses said to new recruits: "Your past higher education is not important. What is important is your work experience."

But in fact, if you don't have a "prestigious school degree", you won't be able to get into them.

These bosses and backdoor relatives and executives are uneducated themselves, so they can only rely on money to enter schools to gain gold. They want to suppress the high academic qualifications of their subordinates. They use this kind of rhetoric to belittle the core personal assets of the employees, thereby lowering prices. .

In the end, the first meeting with the bride-in-law, which was like a job fair, ended. Although the Sun family looked quite dissatisfied, they still sent Li Chu off with the etiquette of serving tea as a guest.

…At night, Li Chu was walking under the street lights, surrounded by annoying mosquitoes. Li Chu fanned his hands to keep the buzzing away, but then it came closer again...

Li Xu knew that the Sun family would still come looking for him. Even if they didn't come looking for him, he wouldn't be at a loss, at least he wouldn't be entangled.

The old gentleman in the school can ask the scholar to visit the Sun family. But it will never leave anything to say to society.

If other people heard that the school repeatedly asked students to get married, then wouldn't the school be a "Cowherd Nightclub" for pimps?

The school is a place for studying, and "connecting" can only be done by the way.

The matter of recruiting foreigners into the Sun family was a "temporary idea" of the Sun family. The school was not a conspirator and could never be forcibly persuaded. .

"Everything about scholars must be polite." If the old gentleman in the school persuades the scholar to get married, and denies the ambition of "his students continue to study." Isn't this a slap in the face of the school itself?

"In the end, studying is just to grab a pimp and give up on success and fame. Isn't that exactly the same as working in a brothel?"

The old gentleman who introduced Li Xie in the school was also bound by the rules. If he crossed the line and was exposed, he would be sprayed to death by the Qingliu people.

The reason why Li Xu had to meet the Sun family was ultimately due to pressure from the academic clan.

The relationship network of local wealthy families is limited to the local area, and Li Xu can escape by changing places. And academic factions are spread all over the government and the public. If a academic faction in one place is labeled black, then it will be stigmatized everywhere.

Li Zhu: And as long as you can make the academic elite not put their ill will on their status as scholars, their path will be broad. With his academic qualifications as a scholar, even if he couldn't go to school, he could still join the Taoist sect now. (For those who "monk up" in Dongsheng Kingdom, the criterion for obtaining a degree certificate is the academic qualifications of a scholar. The Taoist sect does not attach much importance to the family background of the disciples from poor families.)

...When Li Xu expected the Sun family to refuse, the Sun family finally used their connections...

The teachers from the school and Sun's eldest son hosted a banquet for Li Chi.

The school produced a letter of recommendation to ensure that Li Chu could be admitted to "Lianxin College". Li Xu has also checked on the website and his name is already in the process of admission.

In the banquet hall on the sixth floor of this restaurant, Li Xu, as a late student, gave a toast to the Sun family in front of his teacher at the banquet, but he couldn't help but feel awe at this combined force in his heart. This force is now able to make decisions and satisfy its own demands, but it also shows the ability to lock itself in.

As for why the school should cooperate with the Sun family on this matter?

Because Miss Sun's virginity was lost, this incident not only damaged the Sun family's reputation, but also damaged the school's reputation. The school just wanted to cover up this matter for its own reputation. .

And Li Xu also saw a deeper invisible force, which was the culprit that made Miss Sun's belly grow bigger.

Although the higher-ups were covering up this matter, Li Zhu could also find out that it was a good deed done by the young master of the third-grade general's family in the city. However, this young man was already engaged, and it was absolutely impossible for him to accept Miss Sun as his wife. Concubine, but she was afraid that Miss Sun would cause a hanging incident, so this force was also exerting its power to settle the matter.

In short, Li Xu's asking price is actually not high for the Sun family.

But the Sun family has always looked down upon Li Xu, and was very dissatisfied with the son of blind Liu who dared to ask for a price! Their attitude towards the son who protects the hospital: "I can give it to you, you have to be grateful, but you can't take the initiative to serve it without knowing what is good for you."

...The price has been won, but we still have to go through the procedures...

The marriage-in-law process has begun. Although there is no eight-carriage sedan chair, Li Xu can still wear a big red robe and pay homage to the church.

Although the woman showed great reluctance, she was covered with a hijab and forced to worship. .

But when he entered the bridal chamber, Li Zhu couldn't wait to rush forward and shouted: "Beauty, I'm coming!" His tone was as obscene as it could be, which directly angered Miss Sun. This young lady had been suffering from chest tightness and shortness of breath all day, but in the end she didn't see her sweetheart riding a white horse to snatch the bride.

But now, seeing this rough guy coming to worship her, the self-proclaimed fairy suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, Li Zhu's evil smile twisted his good face into a buffoon, looking like Ma Wencai from Butterfly Lovers. This made her, who had read too many love stories, become furious. She opened her hands and clawed at him wildly, forcing her husband in name only to retreat.

Then he took the bottle and threw it at Li Xu, and said: "Go away, you bad guy, I would rather die than let you touch me."

As a result, Li Xu begged for mercy and left the bridal chamber in dejection. In fact, all of this was done under the watchful eyes of people outside the door, and the wedding night was just amidst the laughter of others, and nothing happened.

Li Xu was driven away by Miss Sun's family and left the boudoir "downcast". This matter was mentioned cheerfully by the Sun family's servants while chatting and gossiping in the kitchen and bathroom. They have always been careful to read people's faces, and when they found someone they could relax and tease, they began to reveal their entire villainous nature.

As for the Sun family, it doesn't matter if "the husband and wife are not harmonious". Miss Sun already has something in her belly, and this marriage was originally just a face-saving project for their family.

As for Li Xu, the scorn and ridicule from the entire Sun family was nothing. He left as soon as he entered school.

When the wedding night passed and Li Zhu returned to his room, his originally exposed expression of annoyance immediately dissipated and he returned to his relaxed state of "everything is settled." The real power in his body was circulating, and the smell of alcohol was completely eliminated, but there was still some anxious look there.

This year Li Zhu is less than seventeen, but Ruiyang is still there.

Compared to Sun Xiaoniang, who is currently crying in the bridal chamber, not knowing that she loves to taste the forbidden fruit, Li Xu has long-term plans for herself, and will focus every ounce of energy on the right path, so how can she be willing to spend it on that pink skull.

...Yes, in the fertile plane next door, as a dreamer who had his dreams fulfilled, he did not lose any energy during the entire process of high school...

A week later, Li Xu prepared what he needed for his studies. When he entered the train station, he met an imposing young man in military uniform. Seeing his eyes filled with hatred for seizing his wife, Li Zhu immediately understood that this was Miss Sun's sweetheart.

After coming towards him, the young man immediately slapped him in the face. Li Zhu could hide, but he did not avoid it.

Because - if the conflict between the two parties is initiated here, the result will not be good for oneself. Because even if the other party is really wrong, if it is left to the higher authorities to make a decision, the young master will still be favored. And if he fights back, it will become a fight for each other, and the path to education may be interrupted.

This is a "catastrophe" on the "road" that cannot be avoided.

And the future consequences of this humiliation - Li Zhu has also figured it out.

People were coming and going in the station. Under the gaze of pairs of eyes, the young man with the identity of a school captain pinched Li Chu's collar and warned: "Jiao'er (Miss Sun), you are not allowed to touch her!"

Li Zhu: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."

Li Xu complained in his heart: "You were the one who started the chaos and finally gave up. You didn't even give her a title, and now you want to use such hypocritical means to pretend to help her vent her anger so that you can continue to steal. Wow, the aristocratic circle is really chaotic. .”

The friends who came with the general and the young master saw that the boy was submissive and had a boring look on his face. They laughed at how weak this young man who had achieved fame was.

After boarding the train, Li Zhu finally left the mansion and entered the big city. Looking at the tall buildings behind him shrouded in black haze, Li Zhu exhaled and said, "Well, I finally escaped from this cage."

This plot was not played out in the most enjoyable way.

...After Li Xu left, the captain was urgently recalled to the general's mansion...

The master of the General's Mansion gave his incompetent son a big slap in the face and scolded him: "It's not enough for you to cause this scandal, you're going to find him!"

The young man lowered his head: "It's nothing, I just gave that kid a warning to stop talking nonsense."

General: "He is talking nonsense? Why is he talking nonsense, saying that you put a hat on him! I think you are looking for him because you are obsessed with that bitch in the Sun Mansion! You want to continue to have a good relationship with her." The general said. This exposed the young man's thoughts.

As for why the general wanted to expose this matter, it was because Li Zhu gave him the impression that he was a man who could endure and become great. Whether it becomes a great weapon or not can be seen from what it seeks. When Li Xu set out the series of conditions for the Sun family, he vaguely felt that this son had a deep city. And today his son went to the station and insulted Li Zhu again. This Li Zhu didn't say a word, which made him feel a chill on his back.

You must know that the requirements for studying that Li Xu put forward a few months ago required relationship channels, and it was not easy for him to get them done. ——After trying his best to make peace, his son didn't know how to restrain himself and wanted to show off his authority again.

As for who is playing this prestige? It was obviously to show Miss Sun that the young man wanted to express to Miss Sun: I have always had you in my heart. Use the seemingly easiest way to show affection by stepping on someone who can't fight back.

However, after the general reprimanded him, the general's son did not care to comment on the Li family servant who had taken advantage of him: "He is so ambitious, he has no courage, and he is not afraid." His tone was full of contempt for Li Chu. However, this eloquent speech, which was appreciated among his peers, was not finished in front of his father. ,

The general's face was livid, and he used his inner strength to shout: "Come here, enforce the family law!

It's no wonder that the general was furious. His son had acted recklessly since he was a child, but his loving mother at home often praised him, "My son has courage!"

In this technological age, the wooden sticks used by large families to carry out punishment are still the same as in ancient times.

Ten minutes after the wood and meat were in contact, the lady who passed by the servant came and looked at the injuries on her son's body with distress, crying: "If you want to beat him to death, you can beat me to death too!" Crying and crying, the general had no choice but to put down his stick and let this useless son roll to the study for confinement.

However, the general established his authority in this way without making it clear what was right or wrong. It will only cause this young man's rebellious psychology.

In the next few years, when Li Xu was studying abroad, the young master still rekindled his old relationship.

After the incident, the general's son continued to have an affair with a woman from the Sun family. After it was exposed, it became a major crime criticized by the general's political opponents and was impeached by the local censor. Of course, this is a story for another day.

In this self-destruction, Li Zhu did not participate too much. Because if you step on a guy who has already fallen into the cesspit, you will only get shit on the soles of your shoes.

…the dividing line between fertile soil and ruins…

In a certain fertile plane where Wei Keng's consciousness is unclear, there is a certain dream consciousness that is positioned as the "author".

Yes, you don’t need to know where the “author” is, you just need to know that the awareness of the “author” is already fertile.

In this fertile soil, everything is developing. In this society, young people undergo a "social quality separation" through a round of entrance examinations.

The "relatively clear" part is the part that has been admitted to a higher education institution.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, boys whose dreams were delayed by vanity and did not complete their studies, and girls who were also delayed by love, were left in a relatively "turbid" part of society.

A young man who had just received the admission notice let out a breath, and then looked back at the poster for the TV series "Meteor Garden" from a few years ago! He snorted: "Go to campus love. The high-class leisure people let the children born in families with insufficient capital waste their precious "moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and labor" growth time to accompany some people to build a beautiful youth." story!"

A few months later, in the university dormitory, the student union began to recruit freshmen to rehearse and perform in response to visits from leaders. ——A group of students who have just graduated from high school are full of the attributes of "obedience" and "obedience". After the sudden end of the tense exam and too much time, there is the attribute of "waiting for the call", which makes those who are the leaders in the university Leaders always tend to have the feeling of "I can command".

This unruly man was lying in the dormitory. During the performance rehearsal, he failed to do anything and was kicked back to the dormitory by the counselor.

And this unruly man led many new classmates, um, including a friend named Chang Bing who was sleeping with him.

In the dormitory, Chang Bing came back with sesame cakes and imitated the teacher's fake seriousness in patting Diao Min on the forehead: He was reading novels on the playground (rehearsal ground), and he was still reading novels when he came back. Opportunities always come to those who wait (counselor said)

Diao Min grabbed the sesame seed cake and said, "Aren't you also holding your phone and watching videos?"

Amid the laughter, neither of them were "obedient" children. ——I know in my heart that wasting the time in the early days of school, practicing hard, and waiting for the leadership to discover the performance is a waste of myself.

The counselor said that "the school gives you a stage" and "opportunities are always given to those who are prepared." But in fact, the credit for organizing the performance on the stage belongs to her. The "opportunities" created are also hers.
