Wang Xiancheng walked around the street, and when he came back, his steps were relaxed and smiling, and he didn't look any different from before.

Seeing him enter the county office, Gu Xiaojiu, who was guarding the gatehouse, greeted him with a smile: "The second master is back?"

"It's Xiao Jiu!" Wang Xiancheng restrained the smile on his face and nodded reservedly.

"Looking at the second master's spring breeze, he must have encountered something good, right?" Smelling the faint smell of fat powder on Wang Xiancheng's body, Gu Xiaojiu smiled and groaned.

"There's nothing good about it, it's just a scattering in the streets. Wang Xiancheng paused, and seeing Gu Xiaojiu's eyes constantly turning on his shirt, Wang Xiancheng was displeased, and his face became more and more reserved. Xiao Jiu still wanted to ask, but Wang Xiancheng had already paced away, Gu Xiaojiu watched him walk away, and a sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Xiaojiu, what are you looking at?" A doorman walked out with tea, and when he saw Gu Xiaojiu's eyes dark, he asked puzzledly.

"Nothing. Gu Xiaojiu shook his head and said, "You are staring here, I'll go out for a while." ”

"Little Brother Jiu, I just made you tea, drink a drink before leaving?"

"No, I'll go outside and drink. Gu Xiaojiu waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the gate.

There is a tea shed not far from the county office, Gu Xiaojiu did not avoid people, and walked over with a swagger, the shopkeeper recognized him as a relative of the county master, put on a smiling face to greet him, and took out the best tea leaves to make a bowl of tea for him. In the distance, Menzi saw him walk to the tea shed and sit down, and smacked his lips secretly, how much better is the tea in the yamen than the one in the tea shed? I really don't know what this Gu Jiu is thinking.

Not long after Gu Jiu sat down, an obscene figure came to his table one by one.

"Can't you change this problem of shrinking your head and tail?" Gu Xiaojiu didn't need to turn around to know who the person next to him was, he snorted from his nose and scolded: "Come and sit down." ”

The visitor sat down in the corner of the bench with a flattering smile.

Gu Xiaojiu called for another bowl of tea, and pushed the melon seeds and fennel beans in front of him to the man's hand, and the man saw that the dish was pushed to his hand, and he grabbed the plate and was about to pour it into his sleeve pocket, but as soon as he picked up the plate, he realized that he had made a mistake, and the hand that grabbed the plate froze in mid-air.

"Pour!" Gu Xiaojiu smiled and said with a smile.

"The old mistake is done again, hehe. The man put down the plate, slapped the hand that grabbed the plate, looked at Gu Xiaojiu pitifully and said, "Please spare me this time." ”

"It's all stolen to the master, Zhang Ergou, you really don't change!" Gu Xiaojiu glanced at him, and saw that Zhang Ergou was still the virtue of having a dead face, so he had to say impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't pretend to be here with the master, it was originally to reward you for eating." ”

"Xie Jiuye. Zhang Ergou happily hugged a few tea and fruit saucers to him, and he didn't eat them, just looked at Hehele.

"What happened to what I asked you to do?" Gu Xiaojiu took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly.

"The little one followed that all day today, first walked around the street for half an hour, and then went to Wang Xishi's tofu stall, who has been praising Wang Xishi's bean curd delicious. Speaking of this, Zhang Ergou's two eight-character eyebrows were squeezed together, and a funny ambiguity was squeezed out on his already obscene face, and Gu Xiaojiu couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach.

"Ninth Master, judging from the small, that one is interested in Wang Xishi, I'm afraid it won't be a few days......" Zhang Ergou's two eyebrows squeezed even more, the corners of Gu Xiaojiu's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and finally couldn't help but slap Zhang Ergou's face, "Speak well to the master!"

"So, does Wang Xiancheng really mean something to Wang Xishi?" Gu Qian listened to Xiao Jiu's report, his eyebrows raised slightly, a little incredible.

Zhang Ergou has been on the street for many years, and there is nothing he doesn't know about Wang Xishi. Seeing that Gu Qian was a little moved, Gu Xiaojiu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master, haven't you always wanted to go to Wang Xishi's tofu stall to eat bean curd?

"Wang Xishi is the person who is the master of the horse, what kind of system will I mix in again, master!" Gu Qian looked at Gu Xiaojiu's eager appearance, and said with a smile: "Wang Xishi's was put aside in advance, what else did Zhang Ergou say?"

He saw Wang Xiancheng enter Feng's house in Liuye Hutong, and came out after staying for less than half an hour. ”

"Feng family?" Gu Qian frowned slightly, "Which Feng family?"

"Of course, it's Feng Yuchun's family in Yanguan Qingjiang. Gu Xiaojiu was happy, winked at Gu Tai on the side and said, "Brother Tai, did you say it?"

Gu Tai coughed lightly and glared at him with disgust.

Gu Qian ignored the two of them's lawsuit, but said in a deep voice: "Since Zhang Ergou said that Wang Jun had other thoughts about Wang Xishi, why didn't he find a way to get involved with Wang Xishi, but turned around and went to the kiln?"

"This ......" Gu Xiaojiu froze, and looked at Gu Tai with a pleading look, Gu Tai ignored him and focused on studying the brown color in the cup.

"Did you get any clues?" Gu Qian continued to ask as if he hadn't seen Gu Xiaojiu's embarrassment.

Gu Xiaojiu scratched his head, thought hard for a long time, and said in frustration: "No." ”

"You've had a hard day, so let's go down first. Seeing that he looked depressed, Gu Qian didn't say anything, but asked him to go back to his room to rest.

"Master, I'm ......" Gu Xiaojiu was expecting to bring Gu Qian a powerful news this time, but he didn't expect to be caught by the master with obvious loopholes, and if he didn't succeed, he showed his cowardice, not to mention how uncomfortable Gu Xiaojiu felt in his heart.

"Okay, it's not easy to hear about this, don't think about it, get a good night's sleep, there are things to do tomorrow." ”

"Yes. Gu Xiaojiu replied listlessly and went dejectedly.

"Zihe, what do you think?" Gu Qian sat down on the chair casually and asked Gu Taidao with a smile.

Gu Tai took a sip of tea lightly and muttered: "If Wang Xiancheng is really interested in Wang Xishi, then we can make a fuss about it." ”

Gu Qian smiled when he heard this, pointed his hand in the direction of Master Ma's house, and said in a low voice, "You want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"

"It's approaching the Midyear Festival, and the matter of gift-giving can't be delayed any longer, but we can't touch that inner account. Gu Tai frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Since we can't touch that account, it's better to make a fuss from Master Ma's book." ”

"This is a solution," Gu Qian nodded, and continued: "Even if you can't get the account book, you can also separate the relationship between Lao Ma and Wang Jun, after all, Wang Jun occupies the position of the master of the horse, if it weren't for him, Lao Ma would have already sat on the throne of the county." ”

Gu Tai's brows relaxed, knowing where he should start, the two discussed in a low voice for a while, and after smoothing out the plan, Gu Tai took his leave.

Approaching the Midyear Festival, the matter of giving gifts can no longer be delayed, Gu Qian is ready to do both, even if he can't get the inner account in Wang Xiancheng's hand, he has to give the festival gifts out as much as possible, so he let Gu An be busy early in the morning.

"The eldest master is still busy?" Just when Gu Qian was secretly calculating his small treasury, Wang Xiancheng walked in with two cans of tea and a smile.

"It's Yoshio, please be seated. Gu Qian stopped his pen and said to Wang Xiancheng with a smile: "It's just that I have nothing to do to practice my pen, and I can't talk about being busy." ”

"Approaching the Midyear Festival, the hometown people brought a few baskets of tea, and the subordinates picked up two cans of fresh ones for the eldest master to try. Wang Xiancheng put the tea on the case, and explained with a hint of shyness: "Although it is autumn tea, it is a specialty of his hometown, don't dislike it." ”

"What did Yoshio say? Gu Qian shook his head and said: "Who doesn't know that the Guanyin tea in your hometown is the best in the Quartet, and it is the best in the autumn tea, and it is Gu's blessing to be able to drink such tea." As he spoke, he shouted outside, "Xiao Jiu!"

Gu Xiaojiu walked in smartly: "Master, you call me?"

"Go get some spring water and come back, sir, I'm going to try the new tea sent by Wang Xiancheng." ”

"Little one, let's go!" Xiao Jiu responded, turned around and was about to walk out, but just took a step when he heard Wang Xiancheng raise his voice and say: "Slow!"

Gu Xiaojiu paused and looked back, only to see Wang Xiancheng smile and say to Gu Qian: "It is an honor for the eldest lord to love the autumn tea in Jun's hometown so much, but Guanyin tea is the most suitable for drinking after meals, and it has the effect of removing oil and relieving greasy. ”

These words mean one thing: I want to invite you to dinner.

Gu Qian was thinking about exploring Wang Xiancheng's tone, Wang Xiancheng invited him to eat, how could there be any reason to push it out? However, Gu Zhixian had never liked to eat alone, and while accepting Wang Xiancheng's invitation, he also called the horse master book.

Gu Qian didn't know what Wang Xiancheng's mood was after he called the master of the horse. However, they are all old fritters in officialdom, and on the surface, the three of them still entered the Taibai Building in harmony.

Coming to the private room upstairs, Gu Qian sat on the top, Wang Xiancheng and Ma Zhushu sat on the left and right, Xiao Er sent all kinds of dried and fresh fruits, and then raised a flattering smile and asked a few guest officials what they wanted to eat.

"Please order food, my lord!" Wang Xiancheng said.

"Today is Yifu in charge, it's up to you to decide, Lao Ma and I only have a belly, not a mouth. Gu Qian picked up a peanut and said with a smile.

"Look at what the old man said, you have to give us a good start!"

"In that case, how about I order a famous dish from Qingjiang, braised fish tail?"

"Okay, good," Wang Xiancheng applauded repeatedly, he originally asked the store to prepare this dish, and Gu Qian personally ordered it to hit his heart.

"Let's order one too, old horse. Gu Qian smiled and said to Master Ma: "It's rare that the righteous husband invites us to have a meal, and don't be polite." ”

Looking at his smiling appearance, the cold wind swished in Master Ma's heart, he had been invited by Wang Xiancheng several times these days, but Gu Qian was the first time to eat Wang Xiancheng's banquet, this gap was ...... Don't you want to let him, the third-ranked chief bookkeeper, be vigilant? It is true that he wants to take advantage of Wang County, but it does not mean that he is willing to offend Gu Qian. Besides, Wang Xiancheng didn't say a word to himself when he asked Gu Qian, if Gu Qian hadn't insisted on calling him, his old horse would still be in the dark!

The more Ma Zhushu thought about it, the more it didn't taste, but it was not easy to show it on his face, but he said with a smile: "Where do I know what fine food I know, just serve a sauce elbow!"

This is a hard dish, but it is indeed a bit rude, Wang Xiancheng smiled secretly in his heart, and ordered a few dishes that sounded a little gentle, such as hibiscus shrimp and colorful dried silk, the three of them ordered six dishes, and Wang Xiancheng wanted to order more, but was blocked by Gu Qian, "How much can three people eat, enough is enough." ”

"But it's rare to drink at the same table with the eldest master, so you have to have fun. Wang Xiancheng said euphemistically.

"Yifu's words are wrong, can't the three of us only drink this time?" Gu Qian raised his eyebrows, and Wang Xiancheng immediately laughed knowingly, "It's because my subordinates think badly." ”

Gu Qian laughed loudly, and while talking and laughing, he saw that Master Ma frequently peeked out of the open window, he made up his mind, and looked in the direction of Master Ma's book, and from a distance, he could catch a glimpse of the signboard of Wang Xishi's tofu stall. This old horse...... He just wanted to say a few words, but his heart turned to Wang Xiancheng again.

Didn't Xiao Jiu say that Wang Xiancheng was interested in Wang Xishi? Why didn't he give him a try? Thinking of this, Gu Qian shouted outside:

"Where is Xiao Jiu?"

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Xiao Jiuma walked over.

"Go, buy a bowl of bean curd for you three masters to eat. ”
