Chapter 240: What Are You Waiting For!
Yuan Xi raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but the door in front of him opened before he could knock.
"Squeak," there was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked out of it, the man didn't seem to know that there was someone outside, he was stunned, his eyes swept behind him again, and subconsciously asked, "May I ask who you are?" ”
Yuan Xi was dumbfounded, and then smiled: "I am Yuan Xi, the pastor of Youzhou, and I have come to ask to see your master." ”
The butler was startled, and was about to kneel.
Yuan Xi looked interesting, and after he knelt down, he said, "Hurry up, where is your master?" ”
The housekeeper wiped his cold sweat, lowered his head and said, "Lord Hui, my master is in the study, I'll go and tell you." ”
Yuan Xi hurriedly called out to him and said lightly: "Let's go together." ”
The housekeeper reacted and was busy making amends, Yuan Xi ignored him, and after following him into the courtyard, he looked at the Xu Mansion, and found that Xu Miao's family was really not ordinarily rich, at least it was a group of people at the top in Youzhou.
When the two came to the door of the study, the butler confessed and quickly went in to confess.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came, and Yuan Xi raised his eyes to see a thin young man walking out of it with the housekeeper who had gone in before.
So young? Yuan Xi was a little surprised, he had always thought he was a middle-aged uncle before he came.
But it's good to be young, it's easy to be accepted when you're young, and you can do things for yourself for a long time.
Yuan Xi saw that he kept looking at himself, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, this is also a disadvantage of youth, I don't know how thick the sky is, I remember that Cao Cao was prohibiting alcohol at that time, but Xu Miao often drank in private until he was drunk. School affairs Zhao Da asked about political affairs, and Xu Miao called him a "middle saint". Zhao Da passed this on to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was very angry, and later General Du Liao Xian Yufu persuaded him not to be sentenced, it is conceivable that this Xu Miao's emotional intelligence is really average.
However, the appointment of talents must be eclectic, good morality is not necessarily useful, of course, this is not to say that Xu Miao is a moral loss, Yuan Xi learned through memory that he is just a person with low emotional intelligence.
Someone once commented on him: Qing Shang Hongtong, can be described as a good minister of the country, and a man of the time. It is conceivable that Xu Miao is not as bad as he thought, in Yuan Xi's opinion, as long as you have the ability, low emotional intelligence is really not a big deal.
Packing up his mood, Yuan Xi put on a smile and said, "Yuan Xi, the new Youzhou pastor, has seen Mr. Xu. ”
Xu Miao's face showed a trace of surprise, and then breathed a sigh of relief, yesterday in front of the state governor's mansion, scolded a lot, originally thought that there was nothing wrong, but I didn't expect to receive a notice early this morning, saying that Yuan Xi brought someone to come up to his house in person, although he had a slightly crazy personality, but it was also a drunken situation, and he still knew etiquette very well, and he didn't care about his life.
So he waited in a trance for Yuan Xi to come to the door, the back door had already been opened, if he really came to treat the crime, he could quickly escape.
Now that he saw that his subordinates had just brought a Yuan Xi in, he was relaxed at the same time, but a little strange, could it be that he didn't arrest himself, but came to make himself an official?
Xu Miao's most important gift is still exchanged, seeing that Yuan Xi has a good attitude, he is busy and puts away his face, and salutes: "In Xia Xu Miao, meet your lord." ”
It turned out that he was not a madman, Yuan Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, he had a limited temperament, or he was not a particularly famous person, if he didn't know anything in front of him, he was really afraid that he would not be able to control it and kill him.
"Won't Mr. Xu invite me in and sit?" Yuan Xi said with a smile.
"Oh, please inside, sir." Xu Miao's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and led Yuan Xi to the living room.
Coming to the living room, the two sat down on both sides of a coffee table, Xu Miao took the lead in breaking the silence and asked, "I don't know, what are you doing in my house this time?" ”
"Oh, that's right," Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Yesterday, I heard that Mr. Xu went to our recruitment room in Jixian County, but he didn't know the etiquette and neglected Mr. ”
Saying that Yuan Xi got up and wanted to get up, when did Xu Miao receive such courtesy, plus he was relatively young, he suddenly lost a little reserve in his heart, and hurriedly stood up, and said with shame on his face: "My lord said that I was laughing, yesterday's incident, in fact, blame me, I had some horse urine that day, and I couldn't distinguish things, so I caused something." I hope you will forgive me. ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Yuan Xi said casually: "Let's not mention the past, this time I came here to ask Mr. to go to my state to help, I don't know what Mr. Xu thinks?" ”
Xu Miao showed hesitation on his face, but what he hesitated was not the question of whether he would go or not, but hesitation and didn't know how to answer.
Yuan Xi gave himself enough face today, not only did he come, but also brought half of the officials in Jixian County, he was moved, but Yuan Xi just threw out an official position now, and he didn't even say anything about the officials, so he hurriedly agreed, which was contrary to his usual ambition.
Yuan Xi picked up a cup of tea on the coffee table, took two sips, and asked casually, "What does Mr. think of the current situation in Youzhou?" ”
Youzhou is also his own home, Xu Miaoyan can not be clear, his face is slightly ugly at the moment, and he said: "The withering after the war, everywhere is ruined, the people are displaced, the farmland is barren, ten rooms and nine empty, I am afraid that now except for Jixian County, which is slightly better, everything else is about the same." ”
Yuan Xi's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "Since Mr. knows that the people in his hometown are in distress, don't you want to make some achievements and make some contributions to the people in your hometown?" ”
Xu Miao's body trembled, his eyes were a little sudden for a while, and he looked at Yuan Xi in a daze.
Yuan Xi put the teacup on the coffee table lightly and heavily, making a crisp sound, and at the same time, Yuan Xi's sonorous voice came: "Xu Miao, the people in your hometown need you, what are you waiting for!" ”
"I," Xu Miao was ashamed in his heart, he had already had the heart to serve the country, but in the troubled times, he was a son of a rich family, what could he do, every step had to be carefully considered.
Now Yuan Xi's words suddenly made him sober up like a blow on the head, yes, the opportunity he has been looking for is in front of him, and he is still hesitating about something.
Xu Miao got up from his seat, bowed long, and said respectfully: "Xu Miao, the grass people, is willing to be a small official under the command of the adults for the adults to drive." ”
The result was still in Yuan Xi's expectations, because since Xu Miao was able to go to the recruitment room yesterday and leave in an atmosphere, he could guess his thoughts.
Coming here today is nothing more than to dispel his anger, then it will be a success, and it is really a big stick plus a radish policy, which is very successful.
