Chapter 692: Backbone
"I'm really sorry, my little brother really doesn't know how to drink." Zhang You was unmoved, the wine glass was upside down, his hand was pressed on it, and he said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with whether you give face or not." β
"Phew, why doesn't it matter? I don't care, even if you really can't drink it, you have to drink some today...... Do you want me to show you those friends who are in the brocade business? β
"That's right, how can Zhang Shao say that he is also a figure in our Dongting County, and he is kind enough to invite you to dinner, if you don't even accompany you with wine, you won't be able to save face, right?" Zhang Taixuan and Kong Daozhen sang and harmonized, and the threat was not concealed at all, Shi Kaizai couldn't listen anymore, and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhang Taixuan, her uncle, friend, naturally just treat her sincerely, since Brother Zhang can't drink, why do you want to be strong?" β
"Shi Siluo, Shao Tee is here to be a good person, and I don't invite you, you can eat if you want, if you don't want to eat, get out of here." Zhang Taixuan became impatient and said unceremoniously.
The second girl next to her frowned, her pretty face turned red all of a sudden, but she didn't squeak, and she didn't know whether she was angry or felt that her father was ashamed.
Shi Kai was choked with a red face and a thick neck, and stood up with a pout, but was dragged back by Kong Daozhen: "Something that has no interest, didn't Zhang Shao say that you are also good for you?" will be arrogant, I really don't know how the old man was fascinated by the ghost at the beginning, and actually married his sister to you, and sat down for me honestly......" looked at Zhang Taixuan as he spoke, and his face was already full of smiles: "He is a strong seed, don't be like him, when you enter the sixth department, I have to ask you to say a few good words for him at Ling Zun." β
In addition to the official officials with grades such as the county chief bookkeeper, there are also six sections, engineering, soldiers, criminals, officials, rites, households, and external officials to handle official affairs. Dongting County is located on the shore of Dongting Lake, rich in products, belongs to the upper county, the grade of the county is one level higher than that of other counties, it is a six-grade official position, and the personnel of the six sections are more than other counties, and the rights of each section are almost similar to those of the later section chiefs.
Kong Daozhen looked down on Shi Kai, after all, he was his own brother-in-law, and he failed to pass the exam four times in a row, so he couldn't help but have to make some plans for his future livelihood.
Zhang You originally didn't have a good impression of it, but after listening to this sentence, his impression of Kong Daozhen has changed, and he said that the old saying is good, grabbing the ashes is hotter than the soil, and he can't blame others for being cynical, if Shi Kai High School is in high school, don't say that it is Kong Daozhen, it is Zhang Taixuan, and I am afraid that this attitude towards Shi Kai is not this way.
"I want to go to you, but I don't go, but I'm also a dignified person, just past the year of establishment, what if I wait for two more subjects? No matter how bad it is, go to the Nanjing Ministry to take a walk, how can you mix up a nine-grade master book. Without waiting for Zhang Taixuan to express his position, Shi Kai came up hard.
Zhang Taixuan's face became more and more ugly, and Kong Daozhen was even more angry, and said angrily: "The scholarly business is angry, it is all the scholarly business, what do you say, 'Go to Nanjing to walk around the official department,' do you know where to open the door of the official department?" Did you know that there are countless people waiting for vacancies every year? If there is no way and no way, which life can it be your turn? β
Shi Kai was choked and couldn't get angry, what Kong Daozhen said was the truth, although he had the qualifications to be an official after the middle lift, but the ratio of people to Jinshi was about five out of a hundred, and the boundary was calculated, and there were not many people in the country waiting to fill the vacancy, and he was regarded as a person in the officialdom except for the old man, and he couldn't get any relationship. Moreover, the old man is just an eight-grade county man, and he is not in the stream, and it is really difficult to fill the vacancy.
But Zhang Taixuan is different, Lao Tzu is a county governor of Liupin, or a protΓ©gΓ© of the political envoy Geng, if he can get through this way, it will naturally be easy to fill the gap.
Shi Kai understood Kong Daozhen's intentions, but he understood it, but he disdained this kind of drill camp, took a breath, brushed his sleeves and said with a cold face: "The incorruptible person is not subject to the food that comes from the mouth, and I think that I Shi Kai is also a dignified seven-foot man, so if I don't enter the officialdom in this life, I don't believe that I can't support my wife and daughter." β
With that, he walked up to Erniu and picked her up, ignoring her struggles, strode out of the room, and didn't even look at Kong Daozhen and Zhang Tae-hyun again.
No matter how hard it is, people with backbone will always be rarer than those who have no backbone. Kong Daozhen and Zhang Taixuan were born when one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born, but Li Yan looked at Shi Kai's back and her wonderful eyes were shining.
"Damn, whatever, he deserves to be a Jinshi for the rest of his life!"
"Don't be angry with Zhang Shao, I'll punish myself with three cups later, and make amends for my donkey brother-in-law," Kong Daozhen forced back his anger and said to Zhang Taixuan with a smile, and saw Zhang You smiling and smiling, his hand was still pressed on the wine glass, and then he remembered that he was angry with Shi Kai, but he forgot about Zhang Taixuan's big thing, and hurriedly returned to the topic: "Brother Zhang, don't learn from my brother-in-law, come on, I'll fill it up for you, don't look at Zhang Shao's youth, that's a character with hands and eyes......"
"Brother Kong, it's really not that the younger brother doesn't give you face, it's not that the younger brother doesn't respect Brother Zhang, it's really shallow, and if you drink a little, you will make a fool of yourself, let the younger brother say, forget about this wine, and later the younger brother will replace the wine with tea, and toast the two of you with a glass......"
"I said Zhang Shunzhi, are you still a gentleman? If it's crooked, won't it just let you drink a glass of wine, and it won't let you drink poison! Glancing at Li Yan, Zhang Taixuan forcibly suppressed his anger and said, if it weren't for Li Yan on his side, the table wouldn't have been turned over a few times.
"He really can't drink, so let me have two drinks with the two sons instead of him, and ask the two sons to take care of them more in the future, I'm here to thank you in advance." Seeing that Zhang You was about to turn his face if he continued to talk about it, Li Yan finally stood up. It's not that she's afraid of the two, but she guessed Zhang You's intention to get acquainted with the two, and she didn't want to fall short.
Isn't it just drinking, but she has also been in the Fengyue place for many years, and this battle still can't be difficult for her.
Zhang Taixuan's eyes lit up violently: "This way, that relationship is better, come on, come on, I'll pour wine for the lady personally." As he spoke, he walked up to Li Yan and personally helped her fill a cup, and at the same time did not forget to tease Zhang You: "Brother Zhang, I didn't say you, it's better than a woman." β
In this era, it is very common to call women "mothers", which is not like the one shown in later film and television dramas, which contains the meaning of flirting.
Zhang You knew how much Li Yan had drunk, and smiled slightly: "Let Brother Zhang see and smile, the younger brother is not naturally interested in wine, and in this regard, he is indeed inferior to women." β
Yes, he said so, and Zhang Taixuan didn't take him for a reason, so he stopped targeting him, sat back in his position, and drank freely with Lee Yeon Kong Daozhen.
"Zhang Shao, you shouldn't ask a question, Dongting Lake is rich in products, Ling Zun must be very moisturizing to be this Dongting Governor County, right?" When the wine was half-drunk, Li Yan suddenly half-jokingly pulled the topic to Zhang Shunsheng.
Zhang You secretly squeezed his eyes at her to show his praise, and then pricked up his ears and waited for Zhang Taixuan to respond.
