Chapter 1246: Wang Dong's arrangement
"You want to see Marshal Wang?" the guard asked vigilantly, while looking up and down at Jian Wangchuan, who was dressed in ordinary clothes.
Although the Ming Dynasty's government was not as strict as the Qing Dynasty before, at Zhu Yicheng's request, the Ming Dynasty's government was relatively friendly to the people. However, the government was the government, and some rules were still to be abide by, especially the idle people were not allowed to stay near the government for too long, let alone the governor's office of the dignified Xinming?
The old servant behind him was about to speak, but Jian Wangchuan stopped him, and then took out a famous post from his arms and handed it over.
"Please inform me, Wang Shuai will naturally understand who I am after seeing him." Jian Wangchuan said in a low-key manner.
The guard took the famous post and looked at it. He seemed to think that although Jian Wangchuan was dressed normally, he had a good temperament. After thinking about it, he asked Jian Wangchuan to wait outside for a while, and was not allowed to stand at the main entrance. He asked him to wait across the street, and then turned around and reported to him.
"Master, this Qiu Ba is so ugly!" Jian Wangchuan took his old servant to the other side of the street to wait. Jian Wangchuan didn't say anything, but the old servant who had been with him for many years could not help it. You must know that Jian Wangchuan was a dignified official in the court and the governor of the river.
Although compared to Wang Dong, Jian Wangchuan has a different status and level, even for a person like Jian Wangchuan, the other party must at least invite a concierge to sit in the concierge first. Where can I send them to dock and wait?
"Xinming is different from the local area, and it has its own rules. Besides, take a closer look, where did the gatekeeper come from the Governor's Office? Are you not waiting here and waiting?"
Jian Wangchuan said calmly, but the old servant was still a little unfair, as if he wanted to tell a few words about Jian Wangchuan, but he opened his mouth and said nothing in the end.
After waiting for a while, the guard who had been in before came out with a man dressed in an officer. He saw what the guard and the officer who was walking with him said from afar, and reached out to point at Jian Wangchuan and the others who were standing opposite the street.
The officer nodded repeatedly, then walked towards Jian Wangchuan quickly.
"But Supervisor Jian is in person?" the officer came to Jian Wangchuan and asked.
"I am Jian Wangchuan. As for what Jane Supervisor, I don't need to say. I am just a commoner now." Jian Wangchuan replied calmly.
The officer hurriedly saluted Jian Wangchuan, and then said enthusiastically: "I have heard of Lord Jian for a long time. I am a low-ranking member of Liu Si. I am in charge of the governor's office. I have met Lord Jian."
Liu Si's military rank was only an army colonel, but the position of governor was extremely important. Jian Wangchuan was also a governor, so of course he understood what the position of governor in the Governor's Office meant.
"So it's Colonel Liu, I don't know that Wang Shuai..."
"Wang Shuai has official duties and cannot leave for the time being, so he specially sent a low-level position to pick up Lord Jian. Lord Jian, please follow me." Liu Si explained with a smile, and then made an invitation gesture.
Jian Wangchuan thanked him, then explained a few words to the old servant beside him, asking the old servant to follow the previous guard to rest for a while, and he followed Liu Si straight into the gate of the Governor's Mansion and walked inside.
The entire Governor's Mansion covers a considerable area, just like a small manor, with high walls on the periphery. After entering the gate, there is a large open space. There are carriages and horse circles parked here, and a road leads directly to the main building of the Governor's Mansion.
The main building is a three-story building with a style of blending East and West. It is made of huge stones and excellent wood. Although the height is not high, it looks like it has a momentum.
The style of the building is similar to the overall building, and it also has the flavor of combining East and West. The Governor's Office is not only the office location of the Governor's Office, but also the official residence of Wang Dong, so the third floor belongs to Wang Dong, and the first and second floors are the usual office places.
Liu Si directly led Jian Wangchuan to the second floor, and then went to a room to invite him into the room. This was a small reception room, which was elegant and comfortable. After Jian Wangchuan entered the seat, Liu Si personally made a pot of tea for him, and then said apologetically: "Mr. Jian, please wait here for a while, Wang Shuai has something important to deal with."
"It's okay, I'm waiting here." Jian Wangchuan nodded and smiled. Then Liu Si took the guilt and left first. Jian Wangchuan sat there without hesitation, so he started drinking tea. He also took two snacks placed aside and ate them, and looked at the display in the house.
Time passed by minute by minute, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye. There was still no sign of Wang Dong, and even Liu Si didn't know where he went.
However, Jian Wangchuan was not angry at all, nor did he feel neglected. He stood in front of a row of ancient shelves, holding a carving from the Indians that had been placed on the shelves in his hand.
After a while, when Jian Wangchuan almost finished reading all the things on the museum shelf, footsteps came from the corridor outside, and then the closed door was opened.
"Ship Wang! Long time no see." Wang Dong pushed the door and saw Jian Wangchuan standing in the reception room and speaking to him with a smile.
"Hahaha, Master Jian! I'm still talking about when you will arrive this morning, but I didn't expect it to arrive in a blink of an eye." Wang Dong and Jian Wangchuan are not unfamiliar with him. Wang Dong had dealt with Jian Wangchuan before when he was in the Military Affairs Office. Jian Wangchuan was a literati and was very serious in his work, so Wang Dong often called him "Teacher" privately.
However, although Wang Dong called Jian Wangchuan Master Jian, Jian Wangchuan was decisive and responsible in his work, which was very consistent with Wang Dong's temper. When he was in the local area, Wang Dong laughed at Jian Wangchuan and said that he should not be a civil servant. It would be more appropriate to go to the army with his personality and temper.
Jian Wangchuan suddenly burst into laughter when he heard the words "Master Jian". Wang Dong rushed forward quickly and grabbed Jian Wangchuan's hand.
"You Master Jian, you refused to let you come with me in Xinming. Now, you are here to come by yourself. Do you think this is God's arrangement?"
"Wang Shuai was joking. Now I am living under someone else's roof. I will have to rely on Wang Shuai's care in the future." Jian Wangchuan said with a smile.
“这还用得说?到了我的地盘尽管放心就是.”王东拍着胸脯笑道,拉着简望川坐下,问起他这一路上是否安稳等话,两人聊了几句后,王东又道:“决堤一事我已知道了,要说这事也算是你倒霉,不过没关系,不就是丢了官给发配了么?现在来了新明就把心全放肚子里去.”
"Now, I'm just in time for a shortage of people. Your brother is here. I can't give you the official position of the court, so I'm sorry for you. I'll be a counselor in the Governor's Office for the time being. How about it?"
Wang Dong's words were straightforward, but the kind of care and kindness in his words were obvious, which made Jian Wangchuan feel moved.
"Since you come, you will be at ease, and everything will be subject to Wang Shuai's arrangement."
"Okay! That's it!" Wang Dong was very happy and slapped the handrail and made up the matter.
