In September, the smell of autumn tigers in the capital is very strong, and Erluli is conscientiously immersed in his work. Li Yushu, who was on duty, walked over and came in a circle to Erluli: "The quality (the word given by Qi Shi after Eluli High School) hasn't left yet?" ”

"My lord, there are some typos on this fold, I want to check it again." Eruri replied.

Li Yushu couldn't stand it anymore when he heard that he stretched out his hand and twisted it up to see that the children in the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion were lost due to ......, so he asked Erluli: "This is the fault of Shuntian Mansion Yin, why worry about him?" ”

"Lord Hui, Lord Yin of Shuntian Mansion is going to be presented to the emperor, and the matter mentioned is urgent for the people, if it is delayed because of a few typos, it is really difficult for students to feel at ease. Moreover, in the student's humble opinion, if it is an ordinary clerical error, how can more strokes be added to the words. ”

Li Yushu said in his heart that his head melon seeds are quite enough, and smiled generously: "It seems that Lord Yin of this mansion doesn't know which unintelligent official he has offended." With that, he dragged a chair and sat down, and said to Eruri, "How are you doing?" Are there any difficulties at work? "Chatting, then to work inspections, and finally even the poems are right.

Mr. Li wisped his beard: "Well, he is honest and quick-witted, he is fluent in answering questions, and his demeanor is calm, which is worthy of everyone's demeanor." ”

"The students are ashamed, but they have skimmed a few thin books and dare not praise them as adults."

Erluli chatted with Li Yushu for a while, and seeing that Li Yushu seemed to be very familiar with him, he also opened his mouth to care a little about Bachelor Li.

And Qi Shi, who returned home from work, was also chatting with a person named Wu Weiyong, Wu Weiyong's visit always made Qi Shi have a feeling of a weasel giving a chicken New Year's greetings, this Wu Weiyong, it is worth affirming that as a civil servant, he is pragmatic and hardworking, and he did his best to deal with the report letter in the General Administration, it is said that he is still in such a position, and it is not difficult to see that this person is an old fritter in officialdom. In the work, there are all kinds of completely different models of military and military divisions - it is destined that these two have no common topic, and it is easy to have a kind of confrontational game in the officialdom that is either friend or foe, Qi Shifu slandered: "What is he doing?" ”

How to say that it is also a positive three products, the servants outside led Wu Weiyong to the big flower hall for hospitality, and Qi Shi held a saucer on the left side of the eight immortal tables in the hall, and held a lid in his right hand and pulled it in the bowl. Wu Weiyong didn't say anything when he saw it, the official level crushed people to death, who called Qi Shiyi to be bigger than him, the third-grade official. Wu Wei Yong hurriedly entered respectfully, and bowed down at the lower right of Qi Shi, and his voice was very loud: "Xiaguan Wu Xiangyu congratulates Dutong." ”

Qi Shi opened his eyes, and saw that the person in front of him had a slightly round face with Chinese characters, two thick eyebrows, a single eyelid with a slight drooping corner of the eyelid, a high nose bridge, and a bit of cunning that was not annoying in maturity, so he steadily put down the bowl of early spring silver thread water buds that had been blown in his hand for a long time, and the voice in his eyes contained surprise: "Lord Wu, are you here?" If you miss the distance, please also invite Lord Wu Haihan. ”

Wu Weiyong raised his eyes to take a look - hey, what is Haihan, I didn't even have a seat! This man is also a very tough master, so he doesn't answer quietly.

After a while, Qi Shi raised his head and looked at Wu Weiyong again, and his face was surprised again: "Why doesn't Lord Wu sit?" Don't be so polite, I know that you literati love to be exquisite, you don't have to be polite here, you are polite, sit down. ”

Wu Weiyong was really polite this time, and directly bypassed Qi Shi and sat on the right side of the Eight Immortals table. Sure enough, Qi Shi didn't care, and continued to pull tea there, and didn't pay attention to Wu Weiyong.

Wu Weiyong leaned in slightly: What are you pulling so hard? Let me see. I almost lost my breath at a glance, the tea buds floated on the surface of the water when the boiling water of the white silver needle drunk by Qi Shi was brewed, because the tea juice was not easy to leach out without rolling, so the brewing time was longer, and the tea buds sank to the bottom of the cup after brewing, and it was beautiful to staggered up and down. Wu Weiyong saw the apricot yellow and clear tea soup from the lid and the bowl at such a glance, not to mention that the foam was a tea leaf, and there was not a single floating on it. He snorted coldly in his heart: "Lord Dutong, this tea is very good?" ”

Qi Shiyi raised his head, "Well, the silver thread water buds that were just picked in early spring are very good." Would you like a bowl too? ”

Wu Weiyong felt happy when he heard this, the Chinese are hospitable and warm, and ordinary people say this if they invite a meal or send something, "Alas! I'm having a treat today, and I can have as few brothers. If you ask in advance, "Wu Moumou, I'm going to invite you to dinner today, do you want to eat?" "That means five or six times out of ten, you can stay where it is cool, don't be ashamed to eat.

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome, don't be polite to me. Go and serve tea to Lord Wu. ”

A small guy next to him took the order to go down, and after a while, the fragrant tea was served, and the two of them each brought a tea bowl, and drank a few sips of Qi Shi finally couldn't stay up, and he began to drink tea and drink a stomach of water from work early in the morning, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked directly: "Lord Wu has always been busy with government affairs, and this time I took the time to visit not just to congratulate him, right?" ”

"Lord Dutong has won awards, loyalty to duty is what Yu Yu should do, cannibalism is loyal to the emperor......" Wu Weiyong is worthy of having studied Bagu Wen, such a tune he turned over and emphasized three or four times that it was not the same, and then continued: "It's just that when the official was dealing with official business recently, there was something I didn't understand and wanted to ask the lord." ”

"Lord Wu is too humble, I have been leading troops all the year round, how can I know about the affairs of the General Administration. I'm afraid I'm ashamed of this advice. Qi Shi said.

"Adults don't have to be like this, I'm afraid there is no clearer question than the adults answered." Wu Wei Yong said.

This made Qi Shi very unhappy, the director of the Letters and Visits Office came to you and said what was going on, but what people said had to ask: "Say it." ”

"According to the report, Zhenghongqi Dutong Qi Shi took bribes while his son was in high school, what do you think?" Wu Weiyong said with a straight face.

When Qi Shi heard this nonsense, his face turned cold and he reprimanded: "What nonsense! ”

"Lord Tutong, Lord Tutong, don't worry. Xia Guan also believes in the personality of Lord Tutong. Wu Weiyong smiled, and then changed his tone with some heartfelt taste: "Of course, it may be common for evil slaves in the house to do things with some qualifications,...... Besides, if this matter is implemented, I don't need to say that adults know what kind of crime can be blamed on adults, not to mention how the whistleblower exposed you, haven't you thought about it? ”

When Qi Shi saw him say this, the original nervous operation of his brain suddenly relaxed: "I am grateful for Lord Wu's kindness, but I have to make it clear to Lord Wu first, I have not accepted bribes, I have a clear conscience, I can say it clearly everywhere, and I am not afraid of anywhere, but-" Qi Shi's words changed: "I understand what Lord Wu meant, and I am really ashamed to trouble you with this kind of thing." ”

Sure enough, the look on Wu Weiyong's face was more comfortable, well, although this little kid has a score, but he is quite good, so he took the initiative to give way to a step: "My lord, you say this too much to the lower officials, and it is not a trouble, the lower officials will see that the disclosure letter is nothing, just here to remind the adults, and the lower officials next to him can't help anything." ”

As soon as Qi Shi heard it, he was looking at the gestures he made, and he seemed to understand it when he thought about it, this was his own refusal to allow the eldest prince to send talents to his hands, and offended Kangxi's eldest son, and he couldn't help but bury the eldest brother in his heart.

At this time, Qi Shi suddenly found a long-lost excitement, that is, a kind of happiness found in the strange work challenges - in this era, accompanying Kangxi Tiger as an official, playing is heartbeat, and fun is exciting.

"Lord Toto?"

"Huh? Hmm" Qi Shi raised his head from the work plan, and almost blurted out: "Why are you still here?" Fortunately, I haven't given the price yet. ”

It would be too painful for the two of them to play Tai Chi here with their own characteristics, they have to buy and sell with a hammer, they will settle accounts, and Qi Shi will not try to please this boring, of course, a big reason is that Kangxi doesn't hate Wu Weiyong, maybe he likes him a lot, so why not do it.

So Qi Shi said very amiably: "Lord Wu is the pillar of the country, and such talents should stay in the imperial court to serve their allegiance, how can they bury the barren mountains and remote realms?" ”

When Wu Weiyong heard this, he knew that Qi Shi had promised to pull the 'brother' when someone ran out to impeach him, and said a few polite words that were not salty or light, and the two of them took tea and said goodbye.

And the rights and wrongs of the officialdom are also involved in Eruri, no, Eruri also ran into trouble, basically the clerk was probably instructed by someone, and he was actually embarrassed by the information After the progress of Eruri's work failed, he did tricks and feet in the process of copying, so that all the documents he was responsible for were typosed, but fortunately, Eruri carefully checked it when he handed it over for review, and because of the tight time, they would definitely delay the redo, and they would suffer their secret losses, so Eruri paid for his own money to hire a dozen or so people with neat handwriting in Beijing, It took only three days to re-transcribe and revise all the required copies of the documents for which he was responsible. After handing over the documents or sending them to the literati leaders at all levels for review and guidance, it is natural to give Kangxi a look, but Kangxi may not read it, after all, the emperor is busy.
