Chapter 401 The Feast of the Wind!
Wanhelou, Shatian County is the first restaurant in the county. Its geographical location is located on the most prosperous Crescent Street in the county, with its backdrop against Crescent Lake.
In the northwest desert, because of the Crescent Lake, the restaurant actually has the charm of Jiangnan. In the restaurant, the rockery pavilions and pavilions in the yard, the clear water and bamboo are very stylish.
Wang Wenyuan was booked a unique courtyard, and the main officials in the county government all came to the banquet. The owner of the restaurant was a honest man in his forties. His surname was Ren. When his parents came, he came to serve him personally, and he was extremely attentive and thoughtful.
Wang Wenyuan and Lu Zheng were all wearing casual clothes, Kou Xiangwen was wearing official uniforms alone. When he came in, he said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, today, Lord Wang led all the colleagues in our county government to welcome you. From now on, we will be the same officials. We can always ask you for benefits with a talented man like you. This is our blessing!"
He waved his hand hard and said, "When it comes to scholars, I, Kou, only admires the talented man in Jiangnan. It is because of the different waters and soil of Jiangnan. The talented man in Jiangnan is superior to others. A place like Shatian County can welcome a talented man in Jiangnan like Lord Lu, and our county schools will be saved!"
When Kou Xiangwen said this, the lord Cai Shaolin repeatedly agreed, while Wang Wenyuan seemed to smile and suddenly glanced at Master Chen beside him and said, "You are filial piety, what's going on? Haven't Feng arrived yet?"
Chen Xiaojing lowered his head and said, "Report to the master, Teacher Feng said he was infected with the cold and was bedridden at home for several days! The old master is old and has no choice but to force him to do it!"
Wang Wenyuan nodded and said, "So? Then... let's start the meal?" As soon as he said that the meal would start, he immediately shuttled back and forth like a revolving lantern. This posture was not like the show of a poor and poor place in the northwest, but it had a bit of the taste of a salt merchant in Jiangnan.
Everyone present seemed to be accustomed to this. Wang Wenyuan turned his head to Lu Zheng and said, "Mr. Lu, our county teacher Feng Haocai, has a strange temperament and is difficult to get along with. He still needs to take good care of himself when he goes back. It is best to be able to coordinate reasonably. After all, in the future, our county will rely on your joint efforts to do a good job in our county!"
Kou Xiangwen said: "Mr. Lu, Feng Hao is a mean and weird person. In the past, he didn't even give him the face of the county magistrate! In the future, Lord Lu must establish the rules well and must not spoil his temper, otherwise our county government will never have peace!"
Lu Zheng frowned secretly and sneered in his heart. Who is Feng Hao? Lu Zheng is really not familiar with Lu Zheng. However, looking at the tone of Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen, they both deliberately made this move and pushed Feng Haocai to give him a warning?
Lu Zheng felt uncomfortable, but his face remained silent. He looked at the Lord Bo Cai Shaolin, Dian Shi Wei Qing, and said lightly: "Mr. Cai, Lord. I did not visit the two masters in person, just because I was just a newcomer and worried that it would be abrupt if I was too polite.
Today, when the county master treats to guests, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha. I will first give you a cup to the two adults. I also hope that the two adults will help you in the future. OK?"
Lu Zheng picked up the wine glass and raised the glass at Cai and Wei. The two of them were obviously a little surprised. Today they sat down, just thinking about having a meal. How could they have thought Lu Zheng would toast them the first glass of wine?
The two of them looked at each other and stood up to pick up the wine glass. Wei Qing was a strong man with a bronze face. He was quite taciturn and took the wine glass and drank it all. He sat down without saying a word.
It is obvious that he is Wang Wenyuan's confidant, and the Lord Bo Cai Shaolin said: "Lord Lu is so polite. The lower official is flattered and flattered! I've done this glass of wine!"
He drank a glass of wine, and Lu Zheng also drank it and said, "Okay, good wine, Lord Wang prepared good wine today, my first-class daughter is Hong!"
Lu Zheng and the maid filled the wine again, and he picked up the wine glass. This time he went to toast another table of six books and the civil and military officials in the Bantou Prison County Office.
He shouted: "Everyone, let me introduce myself. My surname is Lu and my name is Zheng. I am just a playboy in Jiangnan. The so-called talented man and romantic man are nonsense, but it's just a matter of young people. I like to sleep in the flowers and sleep in the willows, and I just have more friends in that brothel, which is not worth mentioning at all!"
After Lu Zheng said this, the group of officials who were looking at each other couldn't help laughing, and suddenly felt that Lu Zheng was close to him. They were all rough people, and they felt unattainable to the so-called talented man in Jiangnan who was arrogant.
Now Lu Zheng's statement made them feel that this is the talented man in Jiangnan. Who among these big men has no experience in visiting the kiln? Most of them have their own relationships in the kiln! Lu Zheng's words obviously resonate with them, and their words are rough but not rough.
Those who are vulgar people who go to the kiln are civilians, and those who go to the kiln are talented and romantic. What is the reason for this?
Lu Zheng paused and said, "A month ago, I was still free and easy in the capital. I was idle and fell in love with a girl. You guys say it's a coincidence? What's the origin of this girl?
This girl's surname is Dai, and she is the daughter of the prime minister Dai Gao. Haha, is this very interesting? Who do you know about Dai Gao?"
"Ah..." Lu Zheng said this, and the audience exclaimed. The ears of men were standing up. My God, it doesn't matter if you are a talented man and a romantic man. You dare to covet the prime minister's daughter in the capital. Tsk, tsk, this... This is simply...
Although these people are officials, they don’t know much, let alone have much knowledge. The prime minister of the court is as unattainable as a god in the clouds.
Lu Zheng in front of him said that he not only knew the prime minister, but also coveted the prime minister's daughter. This incident completely overturned their previous understanding of Lu Zheng. In an instant, Lu Zheng's stature in their eyes became higher.
My mother, our county magistrate is extraordinary. He dares to covet the prime minister's daughter. It's amazing. He puts this matter outside to brag, keep it very attractive. When he goes back to the kiln, he will definitely make everyone envious...
Not only them, but even Wang Wenyuan and others were extremely surprised and couldn't help but look at each other. Wang Wenyuan had an understanding of Lu Zheng, but his understanding was relatively superficial. Where can we master these secrets?
Lu Zheng drank the wine in the glass, and the men drank it one by one and then looked at Lu Zheng with all eyes. It was obvious that Lu Zheng's story deeply attracted them, and they hadn't heard enough yet!
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Is the result? You know, I'll come to Liangzhou to become an official! This old guy, Dai Gao, wouldn't be fine if he doesn't marry a daughter, but he still had to send me away, for fear that he wouldn't be able to protect his own girl!"
"Coax!" Everyone laughed together, and Wang Wenyuan frowned. He found out that Lu Zheng was sent to the capital because he offended Dai Xiang, but he didn't expect that Lu Zheng offended Dai Gao for this reason.
Is this true or is it true? Is it true or is it Lu Zheng talking nonsense?
Lu Zheng poured another glass of wine and said, "But..." He only said two words, and someone below couldn't help saying, "Master Lu, what's it? We are the most itchy in our hearts and are so irritated that we can't get enough of it. If you don't finish this, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night!"
The person who spoke was the head of the detective, Ban Biao. He looked like a big and thick-bodied man, and looked like a living Zhang Fei. It was usually intimidating. But now he was smiling silly and staring at Lu Zheng with a eager eyes.
"Coax!" Everyone laughed. It was obvious that Ban Biao expressed everyone's thoughts. These people were boring and bored on weekdays, and most of them liked to go to study when they had nothing to do.
But which storyteller told a story as exciting as Lu Zheng? Lu Zheng had just begun, so he made them fall into it. He felt that he didn't feel like he didn't dig the bottom of it.
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "But Dai Gao wants to harm me, but the emperor doesn't want to harm me. You know, Dai Gao is in power in the court today, and the emperor is arrogant and does not pay much attention to the government affairs at all.
If an ordinary person offends Dai Gao, it is no different from killing an ant. However, the emperor knows me. Dai Gao wants to mess with me, but the emperor suddenly wants to see me.
Chen Biao, the eunuch of the Sili Prison, came to my house with the imperial edict in his hand. The emperor first promoted my uncle to the office, and then asked Eunuch Chen to lead me into the palace. In the palace, the emperor held my hand and said, "You shouldn't, you shouldn't be coveted by Dai Gao's daughter. Where can you put the face of the prime minister?"
So, on the one hand, since Dai Gao has asked me to come to the northwest, the emperor will not be able to lose his face. It is a foregone conclusion that I came to Liangzhou and cannot be changed!
However, the emperor said that I would return to Beijing in two years. Even if my job is completed, no matter how well I am doing, I can still participate in the examination hall. Hehe, if I can get high school, I will treat it as a training in the northwest in the past two years. The emperor will give me an official position in the future. Hehe, I can't be just a seventh-rank official, don't you think it's right?"
"Okay!" Ban Biao clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Lu is amazing. He has even seen the emperor. Tsk tsk, I am so envious! Can you tell everyone what the emperor looks like? Let us also learn more?"
Lu Zheng smiled, and Wang Wenyuan suddenly coughed and said, "Ban Biao, you kid dare to talk about it privately. It's really outrageous. Lord Lu, don't talk nonsense, be careful of the ears of the wall!"
Lu Zheng said: "Mr. County Master, I won't talk about this. In the future, County Master will go to the capital to report his duties and see the emperor himself. Maybe the emperor will be happy and give him special gifts to the County Master, right?"
"Haha..." The whole room burst into laughter, and Wang Wenyuan also laughed. He was only a magistrate at this age, and it was probably difficult for him to enter Beijing in this life. Even if he could enter Beijing, the chance of meeting the emperor was almost no longer there.
