Brother Yi Bo laughed! It's just a little superficial, and it's hard to get into the elegant hall. Zhang Timing replied modestly. Suddenly saw Li Chengji who entered the door, and couldn't help but stare at it.

"Yizhi!" , Li Xiao sat with him, and when he saw Li Chengji coming, his face instantly turned happy. Goodbye Li Chengxue in his arms, he got up and walked over.

"Mother!" , I haven't seen him for a while, Li Chengxue also misses Li Xiao's, and immediately shouted sweetly.

Zhang Timing reacted at this time, and hurriedly shouted to the governor, and was about to get up and salute.

"If you meet in private, it's no better than the Governor's Mansion, so Uncle Zhang shouldn't be formal!" , Li Chengji put Li Chengxue on the ground, waved his hand, and smiled and exempted Zhang Timing from the salute.

Seeing this, Zhang Timing's expression was obviously a lot more relaxed. Although he saluted Li Chengji, there was nothing wrong with him. But he and Li Shichang are friends of the same generation, so it is a little inappropriate to salute like this.

Especially right now, Li Shichang is still sitting in the hall.

Li Chengji didn't have the heart to pay attention to his state of mind, so he went straight to Li Shichang, shouted Dad, and saluted. shouted at Li Xiao, who was seated, and saluted again.

Someone immediately moved to the table and bought tables and chairs for Li Chengji. Zhang Timing, who was at the bottom right of Li Shichang, was about to get up and give up his seat. But Lee Seung-ji is already sitting in the second position at the bottom left, and it doesn't matter if he connects the road.

Zhang Zhiqin sat opposite Li Chengji, with some powder on her face. And unlike the simple and elegant dress in the past, Zhang Zhiqin wore a vermilion skirt today. makes the temperament of the whole person become dignified and luxurious.

"Governor!" , Zhang Zhiqin bent her waist slightly and bowed.

Li Chengji smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a response.

Looking at the other side again, Li Chengji found that he had an extra acquaintance.

"Boy Li Chengji, I've seen Uncle Guo!" , Li Chengji got up and quickly saluted. Guo Huai, the former Dali Dali Zheng who was sitting at the top, immediately returned a salute and responded: "Yizhi, you are now the governor of a province!" And the old man is just a grass people, how can he be worthy of your gift. ”。

When he spoke, he had a wry smile on his face.

It's also a tree that falls and scatters! Since Li Shichang was dismissed from his post and removed from office, most of the court officials who were good friends with Li Shichang in the past have been demoted from the court. Guo Huai was implicated, and he was deposed to the point of being a thorn in the history.

At that time, it was already under the control of Qu Ju Law, how to get there? So Guo Huai was angry, so he directly resigned.

This is exactly what Yeluzi and others wanted, so they ignored it and let Guo Huai go to work. Later, in order to avoid reprisals, Guo Huai did not dare to stay in Balasagon for long. Therefore, the family moved to Chachi to avoid the calamity for a while.

Until last month, I received a letterhead from Zhang Timing's invitation. I decided to go south and come to Malu to have a look.

Although he and Zhang Timing did not deal with each other in the past, it was mainly a matter of political position. After the removal of officials, this main contradiction disappeared.

So after Zhang Timing was invited in the name of visiting Li Shichang, he did not hesitate to set off to Malu.

That's why! Li Shichang opened the door today to welcome guests.

Li Chengji didn't know about this cause and effect, but after thinking about it a little, he could still guess a few points. Therefore, he replied humbly: "Uncle Guo is too uplifting a boy." Khorasan is nothing more than a small land, and the name of the governor is no more than that. ”。

Guo Huai shook his head and said loudly: "Yizhi don't want to be arrogant." Since ancient times, Khorasan has been the main trade route between Dashi and the Central Plains, and there are many merchants in the territory. There are countless things in money. To defend this place is to defend a treasure place. ”。

Li Chengji once again humbly said where he was, and smiled lightly.

"Yizhi! Your Uncle Guo has come from afar, so give him a drink! Li Shichang, who was sitting at the top, saw that Li Chengji and Guo Huai had been polite for a long time, so he interrupted.

"The child obeys!" , Li Chengji answered, and raised his glass to Guo Huai.

Syllable! A glass of wine goes down. The sweet grape juice is mixed with alcohol and fermented in the stomach. Guo Huai also finished a cup and praised Li Chengji a few words.

Talking and laughing like this, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, it was mainly Zhang Timing who talked about interesting things in the court, which caused Guo Huai and Li Shichang to laugh. From time to time, Zhang Zhiqin will come to a few tunes to adjust the atmosphere.

The joy of the faction made Li Chengji feel a lot more relieved.

After all, Li Shichang has not seen such a smile on his face for a long time. Li Xiao, who was sitting with him, was also in a good mood for Li Shichang. Therefore, even if Li Shichang drank and his face was flushed, he had no intention of dissuading him.

"Brother Jinyan! Now you're white, and there's nowhere to go. Why don't you stay in the Governor's Mansion for the time being and take on a half-official position? Zhang Timing was also a little drunk, and said with a red face.

"This ---", Guo Huai's smile stiffened, and he didn't respond.

Li Chengji and Zhang Timing have also worked together for a few days, how can they not know Zhang Timing's thoughts, and immediately said: "If Uncle Guo can come to the Governor's Mansion to take office, it is really a great joy." ”。 Guo Huai has been in the position of Dali for many years, and his ability to handle government affairs is needless to say. In addition, he is good friends with Li Shichang, and his conduct is also trustworthy.

So for wooing Guo Huai, it is also very tempting.

Li Shichang naturally turned to Li Chengji, so he said loudly: "This has to be said!" Your Uncle Guo is an old friend of his father, if he does things for you, he will not agree to be a father if his position is lowered. ”。

Guo Huai hurriedly humbled himself and interjected: "Brother Yi is serious! The old man is an old man who speaks unpleasantly, where can he take on any important duties! ”。

Li Chengji and Zhang Timing immediately glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths rose slightly.

Because Guo Huai's words are obviously not refusal. This also shows that Guo Huai is also interested in joining the Khorasan Governor's Palace.

Zhang Timing, who is the most adaptable, hurriedly echoed: "The old man is here, and he also has the courage to ask the virtuous nephew for advice." Brother Jin Yan is an official in the Governor's Palace, and he must not be lower than the second class. ”。

"Second class?! You should wait for less, right?! Li Shichang said with wine. In terms of acting on the spot, Li Shichang is actually the most powerful.

After all, wine is not very strong! Even if you drink three or two bottles, you can't get drunk.

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! The old man is a white body, and the second class is already lifted, how can he be worthy of the first class. Guo Huai said with a guilty face.

Li Chengji also pretended to be drunk, and said with a solemn face: "Uncle Guo! You don't like to hear that, boy! I think at the beginning, you were also a great Liao. Although he has been deposed by the Jian Party now, how can he be willing to fall. Could it be that Uncle Guo thinks that the temple is small and can't afford to support the great god of his uncle. ”。

Speaking of this, Li Chengji's face was already a little angry. Guo Huailian said that he had misunderstood, and only explained that he was ashamed and didn't dare to accept it.

Later, Zhang Timing and Li Shichang took turns to say that Guo Huai finally agreed to enter the government as an official.
