Zhang Chengxi's new official was the guest of the banquet, the relatives and friends of the Zhang family, as well as Zhang Chengxi's colleagues, Bo Ding Decai, the mayor of Xinhe County, Wu Fu Wu, who also served as the county governor of Xinhe County, as well as Lord Dian Shiwei, and finally Lord Nie Yongnie, the county honor, all went to the banquet.

In addition to the adults in Xinhe County, the neighboring Nanyou County and Dujiang County in Xinhe County, the Zhang family also has a lot of industries in these two counties, and the relationship between the Duanmu family in Nanyou County and the Sima family and the Zhang family in Dujiang County is also very close.

Therefore, Song Jin, the county magistrate of Nanyou County, and Ma Xuewang, the magistrate of Dujiang County, were also invited to the banquet, in addition, the head of the Duanmu family in Nanyou County and many scholars of the White Horse Academy, as well as the head of the Sima family in Dujiang County and many talented people of the West Lake Academy were also invited to the banquet.

With the status of the Zhang family, not to mention inviting ordinary county officials to family banquets, even the prefect of Yangzhou and the chief officials of various yamen are often guests of the Zhang family.

But this banquet was different from before, because Zhang Chengxi was out of office, and he invited friends and colleagues to the banquet, hoping that everyone would take more care of him in the future.

It's just that the relationship between Nie Yong and Song Jin and Ma Xuewang in Xinhe County is very delicate, and in addition, it will be a children's test soon, Zhang Chengxi invited many talents from White Horse Academy and West Lake Academy to come over, which is somewhat of a show of ability.

In addition to the guests outside, the young generation of the Zhang family, Zhang Haoran, Zhang Tang, Zhang Zhen, Tian Zepeng, and Shu Yuan of Guanshan Academy and other top talents were also at the banquet.

Zhang Chengxi has just been "entrusted with an important task" by Nie Yong, responsible for Xinhe County's persuasion, and it will be the children's test soon, and Zhang Chengxi's opportunity to feast guests, one is to let the Zhang family's scholars and the good seedlings he selected show their faces in front of Nie Yong first.

In addition, it is also necessary to show a hand to Linxian County and fight psychological warfare, the so-called three fires of the new official taking office, Zhang Chengxi wants to burn this first fire vigorously.

At the banquet, everyone had a harmonious atmosphere, and between the staggered plans, Zhang Chengxi was already a little drunk.

He raised his wine glass, looked around, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this time Chengxi went to Yingtian and was fortunate to meet the Governor Zhan Tianqi, and Lord Zhan praised us Yangzhou."

The state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, I am the most famous in Yangzhou, and I am the most prestigious on the shore of the Slender West Lake......"

Zhang Chengxi's eyebrows fluttered as soon as he opened his mouth, and he told everyone one by one about his encounter in Yingtian this time, and there was a lot of pride between his words.

Especially when it comes to Lord Zhan, the governor of Nanzhili, he is as excited as a chicken, Lord Zhan personally met him at the governor's yamen, and gave him words of encouragement, which made Zhang Chengxi particularly proud.

Today's banquet of the Zhang family is as usual, the ladies are in the side hall, and the old lady is also very excited when she hears Zhang Chengxi's remarks in the side hall.

The governor of Zhili is a second-rank title, and the status of Lord Zhan is higher than that of the six Shangshu, second only to the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Zhang Chengxi can be personally received and encouraged by Lord Zhan, what does this mean?

This shows that as long as Zhang Chengxi does a good job, he has a bright future!

Not to mention Zhang's mother, the colleagues at the scene were also very envious of Zhang Chengxi, including Song Jin and Ma Xuewang, they were all envious.

Zhang Chengxi is the county leader of Xinhe County, and he is lower than them in terms of official position, but Zhang Chengxi is not Nie Yong, and the Zhang family is a first-class wealthy power lord in Yangzhou, and it can be said that the foundation is very deep.

Xinhe County has Zhang Chengxi, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with in the future, for a while, Song and Ma both felt tricky about Nie Yong's hand, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Nie Yong suffered in Yangzhou for three years, and now it has finally ushered in a turnaround.

First of all, Liang Quanyi, the new governor of Yangzhou, admires Nie Yong very much, and secondly, Nie Yong has climbed to the top wealthy family in Yangzhou, and the governance of Xinhe County will be no problem in the future.

If the Xinhe County boys' test is successful again this time, the results of the three-year evaluation may be reversed, and Nie Yong may turn over in the eight counties of Yangzhou and achieve a counterattack!

Things in officialdom are so delicate, a few months ago, Nie Yong's situation was still precarious, and it seemed that his position as a county commander could not be kept.

A few months later, Nie Yong's situation has changed dramatically, and he has now become the hottest county magistrate among the eight counties in Yangzhou.

"Lord Zhang, today is the day of your banquet guests, and we colleagues will have a lot of time to deal with each other in the future, but this time the young people finally got together, can you introduce me, what are some good seedlings today?" Nie Yong was also a little drunk, he drank a glass of wine, pointed to the courtyard outside, and said loudly.

Because of the cold weather, there was no one in the courtyard, and all the talented people were arranged in the side hall on the other side, and these young people had been waiting for them for a long time.

As soon as Zhang Chengxi heard Nie Yong's words, he immediately said: "Come on, invite all the talents of our Xinhe County to come up!" ”

Cui Da heard Zhang Chengxi's words and immediately went to the side hall to invite someone, and after a while, Zhang Haoran, Zhang Tang, Zhang Zhen, Tian Zepeng, Shu Yuan and more than a dozen young talents entered the main hall.

Zhang Chengxi pointed at Zhang Haoran and the others: "My lord, this time the boy is the most promising of these seedlings, I will introduce them to the adults one by one!" ”

Zhang Chengxi named one by one, and the famous students were all excited and inexplicable, and stepped forward to meet Nie Xianzun, this process they had rehearsed many times in advance, and everyone had arrangements for what to say, this meeting was naturally very smooth, at first glance, the temperament of the candidates in Xinhe County was really extraordinary.

Nie Yong asked everyone one by one, and his mood became very good, Zhang Chengxi immediately said: "Lord Nie, Dog Haoran has long had the reputation of being a child, and this time he only needs to take the college exam."

The first student in our county, Oda Zepeng is the most astute and intelligent, Zepeng, you stand up and give you a good look? ”

Tian Zepeng stood up from the crowd, his expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, he bent down and bowed, clasped his fists and saluted: "Student Tian Zepeng has seen all the adults!" ”

"Good!" Nie Yongyi clapped his hands and said, "Tian Zepeng, I have heard your name for a long time, this time you must go all out to fight for my Xinhe County!" ”

Nie Yong said yes loudly, then stood up and walked to Tian Zepeng's side, and helped him up very affectionately, his action made Tian Zepeng's heart flutter.

Today's meeting can determine the ranking of the county test, this time the boy test, Tian Zepeng in the county test is no longer a problem.

The purpose of the county test is to screen out the best students in a county, so there are many unspoken rules for the county test.

For example, like today, Zhang Chengxi called Zhang Haoran and a group of other people to see Nie Yong, which was actually to "escort" them to pass the customs, and he focused on Tian Zepeng, which was to tell Nie Yong that among the students in the county, Tian Zepeng's talent and learning were the best.

Point Tian Zepeng as the head of the case, and in the next government and hospital examinations, he will definitely be able to shine, so as to make a face for Xinhe County.

The results of the boys' examination are the main performance evaluation indicators of the county chief, and Nie Yong now needs to use this boy's examination to completely establish his position!

Nie Yong has such thoughts, Song Jin and Ma Xuewang naturally have such thoughts, and they also knew the purpose of Zhang Chengxi's banquet today before they came.

After Nie Yong and Zhang Chengxi's performance, where are Song Jin and Ma Xuewang willing to fall behind? Immediately, many talented people from Nanyou and Dujiang counties were also called to the main hall.

The most famous student in Nanyou County is Duanmu Qiu of the Duanmu family, while the most famous student in Dujiang County is Sima Yi of the Sima family.

Looking at Duanmuqiu and Sima Yi, they are both talents, and they behave very decently in the face of many adults, whether it is talent and temperament, they are not weaker than Tian Zepeng.

In addition to these two people, the other students in the two counties are also extraordinary, since ancient times, the literati have been light, and the banquet has reached this point, and the atmosphere in the main hall has become strong.

In the past six months, he has personally supervised Zhang Haoran and others to study, and he has full confidence in the level of Zhang Haoran and others.

Immediately, he laughed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the boy to try, and today we finally gathered students from the three counties here." In addition, the county lords are also there, or today we will let the children compare and learn, which can be regarded as a test for the boys. ”

"Come on, take out the lottery I prepared!"

Zhang Chengxi has already prepared the color heads, these color heads are the pen and ink inkstone in the study, the pen is the top lake pen, the ink is the first-class Hui ink, and the inkstone is the best end inkstone.

The color heads are tied with red ropes, and three color heads are placed on several cases on the main table, in addition, surprisingly, there is also a plate next to each color head, and there are several ingots of yellow and clear gold in the plate.

"Ah......" Seeing so much gold, everyone exclaimed in unison.

The Zhang family is really a big deal, if Wenbi wins the top three this time, he can get such a plate of gold? For a while, the students were eager to try, especially some of the children from poor families, and they were even more excited.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please decide how this contest should be conducted today! Our Lord is at your disposal? Zhang Chengxi said with a smile.

Listening to his tone, full of confidence, Nie Yong stood up and arched his hand to Song Jin and Ma Xuewang: "Lord Song, Master Ma, since Lord Zhang said that the Lord is as he pleases, then bother the two of you to come up with the question!" ”

Nie Yong's expression was very calm, he was in a good mood today, looking at the situation in front of him, he was worried about the problem that he had to spend a lot of money and energy to deal with, but now Zhang Chengxi has done it properly for him, which is better than doing it himself, and it can really be said that he has eradicated the trouble of his henchmen.
