However, Li Zhi didn't care a little, since his parents passed away not long ago, it doesn't mean that others are always on the lips, as long as he doesn't interfere in his own affairs, he doesn't care about the attitude of the county king's mansion.

At this time, he silently followed behind Granny Xia and Tong Lao Liu, including Aunt Yu Ling, who were all descendants of Yang Gaotang, and had not been conspicuous for nearly twenty years, and now he suddenly openly followed Li Zhi and the county lord of Qingqi.

Therefore, when they continued to greet the guests, they inevitably nodded to a few people.

Don't look at Granny Xia and the others, although they are the people of the county king's mansion, they rarely appear in public, except for Aunt Yu Ling's eagerly familiar personality, so that the two of them did not show the heat of deliberately climbing the relationship.

Yang Gaoyu is a rather unpredictable figure in the mansion, and because of his superb medical skills, he has always been respectful to him in the mansion, and the mysterious reason set up by the king of Linhuai County has also played a very key role.

Therefore, there are some strange people under him, but because they never interfere in the specific affairs of the house, no one has to do that idle exploration.

But the core clan in the county king's mansion all know that these people have a special mission, and today they have changed their previous low-key, and the four second-generation uncles have already realized something.

Of course, Li Zhi is still very respectful to the four of them, regardless of their family situation, they have their own positions in Zongzheng Temple, Taifu Temple, and the Ministry of Industry.

In ancient officialdom, "county officials are not as good as being in charge" became a common practice, including the petty officials, errand servants, and other clerks who handled the papers, and the officials were a huge group of officials outside the establishment who were several times or even dozens of times the number of officials in the establishment, not to mention the idlers of such a high rank.

Such idlers are most willing to handle the livelihood of the servants and errands, and have their own family resources to rely on, to come forward to undertake some internal and external quotas, so as to earn some bribes.

Although the extremely abnormal officialdom phenomenon of officials being unable to control officials and officials being able to control officials compiled in some historical books in later generations had a certain universality in ancient China, everything was based on the cowardice of the personal style of the chief officials and subordinate officials, and there was no solid foundation.

For example, if there is really a common case of officials openly beating county officials and other officials in the public court, the petty officials are not only arbitrary to all kinds of people, but also to the chief officials and subordinate officials.

Li Zhi will have frequent contact with such small officials in the future, which is also an unavoidable reality in China, both ancient and modern.

Aunt Yu Ling's lively personality made her dare to speak, even Master Feng also saw that the four of them had the intention of asking Li Zhi for some benefits, and some words were not as suitable as her to say them.

"I said that the four county lords should speak briefly, and the county lord is waiting to meet him at the moment! You elders also know that since last night, the big and small guests in the mansion have been coming and going, no, the county lord of Qingqi and the little marquis should have met alone, but they were also called together by the county king because of this matter! ”

Just as Li Zhi's little marquis said, only the king of Linhuai County in the county palace is the long-term heir to the title of heir, and the position of the county king is obtained by himself by establishing meritorious service, and the brothers in the second generation still inherit the previous title, and it is just a polite word to be called the county prince.

Master Feng secretly said: This aunt and grandmother dare to speak out, but others don't dare to be so unscrupulous.

The four masters were really uncomfortable when they heard this, how could this half-old who didn't know the origin of the house be able to walk freely through the inner house of the county king's mansion, and in one night, they were even more surprised to find that it was the three ladies of the county king, and they never showed any disdain in the face of this person.

It was also because he couldn't figure out the details, the second uncle Li Yan smiled a little embarrassedly: "It turns out that the adults are waiting to meet them, then we will talk to the little marquis later!" ”

Li Zhi, the little marquis, is not worthy of his name, he can be a Jiupin township cadre, and he is a junior, he can be called like this, it is obviously intentional, it cannot be said that he has bad intentions, but his desire to seek a benefit from it is also obvious.

Finally got rid of the entanglement of the four people, and after stepping into the inner courtyard, the county lord of Qingqi frowned and chattered: "I don't know when to find a relationship, Master Feng and Aunt Yu Ling are waiting outside the gate of the mansion early in the morning, it is obvious that my father has already explained, and my uncles are also very blind!" ”

"Speculation leads to psychological imbalance, the rice paper market is a huge cornucopia, and it's strange that they don't see money!" The middle-aged beauty answered.

Li Zhi suddenly found that he had a very good impression of this Aunt Yu Ling, it seemed that this person was not at all as good as he seemed to be, he spoke and acted tactfully and sophisticatedly, but in fact, he didn't value the sense of deterrence brought by power at all.

It is estimated that he thought in his heart, and looking at Li Zhi with a faint smile, Granny Xia said happily: "Although my junior sister is exquisite, all-encompassing, but just as my master once described her as a strong grass, the more violent the wind, only a tough grass like her will not be blown down, and her heart is actually very hard!" ”

"Senior sister, you compare your sister to a man, but my sister is a half-old girl!" Aunt Yu Ling laughed when she heard this, and looked back at Master Feng's grandfather and grandson, "There are still outsiders, you have lifted up my old bottom!" ”

"It's okay, Lord Junwang once told me that the master in the mansion can be trusted enough!"

Grandma Xia's words taught Master Feng to be surprised, and she was humble, but she was even more surprised by the identities of several people in her heart.

The biggest housekeeper in the mansion like him, he didn't know that there were still these people hiding in the shadows in the hands of the county king, and the Wangmen Mansion was unfathomable, and even he, an old man who had been in the mansion for 70 years, had hidden it.

Regardless of the fact that several people have their own hearts and minds, they came to a study in a secluded courtyard while talking, and there was no artistic charm and the atmosphere of a great king, and there was no forbidden morning and dusk that could not be eroded by the years, and it was surprisingly simple and unassuming.

The small courtyard was originally located in the corner of the courtyard of various deep houses, and the remote study room in the corner of the courtyard was even more inconspicuous under the shade of dense flowers and tall trees in the courtyard.

"Personally, I really like to come here alone to take a break in my spare time when I am dealing with heavy government affairs. In my opinion, attaching importance to literature and education, and reading history and scriptures are the most important compulsory courses for officials, just like the hard reading of students. ”

Everyone stayed outside, Li Zhi and the county lord of Qingqi had not yet stepped in, and the king of Linhuai in the study had already opened his mouth to speak.

His voice was mellow and profound, and it was by no means as hearty and smiling as Li Zhixiao had seen.

But in Li Zhi's view, that righteousness is not pretending, but a bright and upright from the heart, or upright.

"The last time I saw you was ten years ago, and you were only about ten years old, right? At that time, I didn't see how good you were, and people were thin and weak, and their talents and courage were not obvious. ”

After seeing the ceremony, Li Zhi replied calmly: "It's not much stronger now, the sky has a tall body, and there is no power to bind the chicken in his hands." ”

The king of Linhuai suddenly threw two sharp eyes at him, and the coercion on his body also soared in the blink of an eye, and the metaphor was as deep as a hong, or like a Lingyun pen, or like a mountain and a mountain, or as slender as a needle.

Li Zhixuan immediately felt that his mind was suppressed by some kind of power and could not function freely, but in just an instant, the energy in his body extended out of Qi Xianling's general thoughts, and soon turned the momentum into nothingness.

Although the majesty of the sky is extremely domineering, it is peaceful, dignified, and without the slightest killing atmosphere, which is a kind of majesty accumulated by the officials all year round.

"Hahaha, sure enough, as I heard in the past few days, you kid has really grown up, and my tried and tested methods of bullying juniors have no effect in front of you! Qingqi, you really found a good man for yourself! ”

The moment his momentum retracted, he had already taken care of the two of them in just a few words, and the control of the right to speak could be said to be as perfect as fire.

Li Zhi glanced at his mouth and smiled, that was when he saw that the county lord of Qingqi was patting his small chest and secretly said that it was a fluke.

"Sister Qingqi, Lord Junwang's hand is very scary, you didn't reveal it to me before, I was so scared that I almost wet my pants!"

The county lord of Qingqi smiled, and his expression relaxed, "My father's majesty has always been a big killer in the county king's mansion, and even my uncles have never escaped. ”

She faced the king of Linhuai County but did not call her father, presumably because of the restrictions on this item in the family.

"My daughter is right, the text, this is also a helpless thing, there are hundreds of family members in the house, plus more than 1,000 subordinates and miscellaneous servants, there is no strict law, it is inevitable to fall into chaos! That's it, the majority of the children of the clan, led by my younger brothers, have risen as the situation has gradually stabilized, and the phenomenon of competition and extravagance has risen! ”

The words of the king of Linhuai made Li Zhi nod secretly, and he didn't answer, obviously someone had already reported the matter in time before, and he would definitely have some explanation next.

Sure enough, the county king's voice started again, "Yesterday evening, the four of them got together and muttered, although I didn't say anything for my brother's sake, but I didn't make the matter between the county king's mansion and you clear, just to see what they did!" Sure enough, these people actually dared to stop you and Qingqi outside this courtyard, and it seems that they don't take me seriously anymore. ”

"Father, please calm your anger, my four uncles didn't say anything, and they didn't even say a word about the rice paper!" The county lord of Qingqi has the heart to persuade him.

There is no other reason, because Li Zhi is a newcomer, although looking at the face of the king of Linhuai County, it seems that he has agreed with this family business, but from Li Zhi's point of view, it is not a good thing to have a grudge with the four second-generation elders in the county king's mansion before he has ever married.

She was very afraid that her father would blame the four uncles for this, so that they would only put a grudge on Li Zhi.
