The emissary sent by the Fire Country's Daimyo was a middle-aged man with a sallow face and a fake smile. He was wearing the most old-fashioned black-brown robe, and his ears were hanging down to his neck. He was sitting in the living room of Liu Ban's house and laughing with Yi Le's father.
It was not until Liu Ban came downstairs that the messenger called Liu Ban over with a 'happy' face. He smiled and said,""I didn't expect you to be praised so much by the chief minister at such a young age. This is the first time in history.”
"Chief minister?" Liu Ban looked at the messenger in confusion. He didn't know any ministers. Then why did the chief minister praise him?
"That's right." The emissary nodded calmly and then put on that fake smile again."I heard that your literary talent and ambition are extremely high. Can you compose a poem for me? It would also allow me to bask in the light of the future Grand Scholar.”
This sentence was just a test. If Liu Ban could really compose a good poem, then he was really talented. The messenger would naturally recruit Liu Ban into the Daming Mansion and let the Daming meet him personally.
If Liu Ban couldn't do it, then there was no need for him to pay attention to this seven-year-old kid. In the eyes of the messenger, although ninjas were powerful, their social status was not very high. In this world, ninjas were like ancient chivalrous men in China. They had high prestige and strength in the human world, but most officials looked down on ninjas.
It was just like the special forces. It sounded very impressive, but most of them were only middle and low-level military positions. High prestige did not mean high positions. Instead, those civil servants who did not have much strength held more power.
"Poetry?" Liu Ban was a little reluctant. Although he didn't feel any pressure when he cut, he didn't want to write a poem for a small figure. Moreover, his poem was used to pick up girls and slap faces, not to please this country bumpkin.
"Why? Can't I?" The messenger asked.
"It's not impossible, but what benefits do I get if I write poems?”Liu Ban asked.
Hearing Liu Ban's shameless words, Yi Le's father subconsciously grabbed the rolling pin on the table and wanted to give him a good beating. However, when he thought of the messenger, he could only suppress the urge to hit him.
Nami and Chang Pu were even more speechless. Having such a lover (brother) made them feel ashamed.
"Benefits?" The messenger did not think too much about it. After a moment of surprise, the messenger laughed. This time, his smile was more sincere. It was obvious that he was amused."If you can compose a good poem, I will lead you into the Daming Manor as an official!”
"Officer? What is an official? Can it be eaten?" Liu Ban asked innocently.
"Although you can't eat as an official, there are people who will send you food. You can eat as much as you want. A year's salary is more than enough to buy this ramen shop of yours.”The messenger was delighted and promised.
"Really? The salary of an official is actually so high?" Liu Ban was shocked. In Muye, even though a 100-square-meter ramen shop wasn't big, it still cost over a million taels of silver to buy. The reward for an A-rank mission was only a mere 100,000 taels of silver! In other words, a Jounin had to work hard for ten A-rank missions to buy Liu Ban's ramen shop.
An average family of three would only need 30,000 taels of silver a year. But how could such a huge amount of wealth be obtained by working as an official in the Fire Country for a year?
Liu Ban began to analyze the pros and cons of the situation. Money was extremely tempting no matter which era it was. He also wanted to buy Ninja Cuisine that was specially made by Ninjas to strengthen his physique. He also wanted to buy the refined iron from a famous master. He wanted to buy a super explosive talisman that was personally made by a master of explosives. He wanted to buy a huge 36-inch new color TV. It was said that a super handsome A-brand bicycle had appeared recently.。
Liu Ban wanted all of these things, but they were too expensive to buy. Now that someone had come to his door to give him money, Liu Ban was quite happy.
"What poem do you want?" Liu Ban's eyes lit up as he quickly asked.
"Let's make a courtship poem." The messenger asked with a smile.
"Good!" Liu Ban responded and then paced back and forth. Sometimes he lowered his head to think, sometimes he looked up at the moon. After about two to three minutes, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, shook his head, and spoke with a profound expression.。
"The turtledove is on the continent of the river. A graceful lady is a gentleman's match." The 16 words of One Qi. Although it was only a short 16 words, the poetry contained within it instantly caused the expression of the great messenger to change. This lord had lived for so long and read countless documents, but he had never heard such a beautiful poem!
Even Nami and Chang Pu, who had no literary knowledge at all, were moved by his words. Unlike some of the crooked poems that Liu Ban had recited before, this kind of poem that had been passed down for thousands of years was still catchy enough to infect anyone.
"The vegetables are uneven, flowing left and right. I'm a beautiful lady, and I'm looking for her."
Nami's face turned red, and Chang Pu started to look at Liu Ban strangely.。。
"I can't ask for more. Leisurely, tossing and turning."
The Great Messenger smiled and shook his head. The scene in the poem seemed to be reflected in his mind.
"Pick the vegetables on the left and right. A graceful lady, a friend of the zither."
"The vegetables are uneven, and the left and right are cut. A graceful lady, with the music of bells and drums…"
The exquisite ancient poetry matched Liu Ban's ambition for the 2D harem plan. He recited it in a grand and awe-inspiring manner. After the poem was finished, the audience fell into a long aftertaste.。
Nami and Chang Pu's faces turned red. Ichiraku's father gently put down the rolling pin in his hand. The Great Messenger looked intoxicated.。
"Sigh, that's what happens when you're too charming." Liu Ban rubbed his nose and sighed silently.
