Chapter 53: Dong Chengping goes to the banquet
This little episode came and went quickly, and after Qi Lai chased him out, the people around him were talking about it again, and it didn't take long for Qi Lai to come back.
He came back with his fists clenched, and the hooked nose on his face kept stirring, but this time he lost his wife and broke his soldiers, not only did he not win the position of the inspection, but even Qi Lai himself touched a nose in the Zheng family.
The dumb eats the yellow lotus, and he can't say that this is probably the feeling.
Wu Weizhong judged the situation and felt that this time was the best time to compete for inspection, and when most people did not come back to their senses from the Zheng family, he took the first step out and hugged his fists towards the people around him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Wang Zheng has a good saying, although the position of inspection is small but very important, the successor must also be capable, according to the town, Wang Zheng's ability is undoubted, and he is the best candidate for the position of inspection!"
Han Dahu also said: "Well, I think so too. ”
The people around them talked louder, but after a while, they all looked at Wang Dele with inquiring eyes, Wu Weizhong and Han Dahu both expressed their attitudes, and Zhizhou's opinion was particularly important at this time.
After a long silence, Wang Dele was about to answer, but one person suddenly spoke up.
Qi Lai's face was grim.
"It's not proper, if you want to decide on the candidate for the inspection, the opinion of the former governor must be asked, I think it's better to wait."
Wang Dele thought about it, this is indeed the case, Dong Chengping has been the governor of Ninghai for many years, and he should know more about Wang Zheng, and it is always right to wait and decide later.
This has also been supported by most of the people in the hospital, seeing this situation, Qi Lai was complacent for a while, and snorted coldly, Xiao Qian always wants to compete with my Qi family, and it is too tender!
Dong Chengping's promotion to Penglai is already known to the Wupin Mansion, if he really waits for Dong Chengping's news, it will inevitably be delayed for another ten days and a half months, and there are many things that can happen in these ten days and a half months, and the situation may no longer be favorable to Wang Zheng.
Wu Weizhong and Han Dahu showed a trace of worry on their faces, they had already sent a message to Dong Chengping seven days ago, and now, even if they are climbing, they should arrive.
Why haven't you replied yet?
Wang Dele said: "This official thinks what Qi Dongjia said is good, this inspection position involves a lot, don't be careless, wait for the news that Dong Tongzhi knows." ”
As soon as the words fell, a person walked quickly into the state courtyard from outside the door and shouted loudly.
"Dong Tong knows!"
A sound of surprise sounded in the courtyard, Qi Lai looked back with unbelievable eyes, and sure enough, he saw a person wearing a cyan official robe, embroidered with a white crane in front of him, and walked into the state rule.
"Why did Dong Chengping come!?"
This person is Dong Chengping, the current Dong Chengping has undergone a qualitative change compared to a few months ago, an official uniform is well-cut, as a senior official in Penglai City, he reveals confidence when he walks.
Naturally, he couldn't forget whose military exploits he had relied on to get to where he was now, walked up to Wang Zheng's side, and said with a smile: "Don't come to harm, Mr. Wang Qian." ”
Wang Zheng said: "I have seen Tongzhi. ”
Wang Dele never expected that Dong Chengping would come to his birthday in person, and he was a little flattered at the moment, so he stepped forward and bent over and said: "Lord Tongzhi personally celebrates the birthday of the lower official, I really don't know how to thank him." ”
Dong Chengping was obviously in a very good mood, waved his hand a few times, and followed to look around at this familiar state rule, he had lived here for more than ten years, and this time it was his own idea to return to this place as an official, and he was a little embarrassed after all.
Wu Weizhong and Han Dahu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Dong Chengping did not reply because he came in person.
"Wang Zheng is a talented person, so he will succeed him as the inspector, I hope you can be different from that Zhang Dacheng."
The second half of Dong Chengping's sentence was said to Wang Zheng, and Wang Zheng immediately hugged his fists and said: "Remember the teachings of Tongzhi in your humble duties, and take it as your responsibility to clean up Ninghai Yan Road and calm the place." ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Dong Chengping suddenly became a poet, and turned back to Wang Dele and Liu Wenruo: "Wang Zhizhou, how about reciting poetry?" ”
Dong Chengping said: "The lower officials don't dare to get an axe in front of Tongzhi. ”
"Haha, it's okay, all my colleagues."
"Then the lower official will be ugly."
The next thing is back on track, and after a false greeting, it is the most popular part of the literati's poetry, and at this time, these people, whether they are literary or not, almost stand up and chant a few words.
Wang Zheng was not interested in this kind of thing, and the whole link just sat in the back and frowned and drank.
The ears can't be blocked, and although Wang Zheng doesn't deliberately listen, he can still hear the excited voices of these civil officials.
Just listened to a few sentences casually, although Wang Zheng didn't know how to compose poetry, he could also hear what kind of "poems" these civil officials made, the words were not right, the tone did not rhyme, and it sounded awkward.
glanced at Han Dahu, he obviously couldn't stand it, he was sitting on pins and needles on the side, and wanted to lift his butt and leave several times, but he couldn't get in the way, so he had to drink one cup after another.
Wu Weizhong is relatively calm, it should be that he has seen a lot of this kind of scene, the old monk usually sits there and does not move, Wang Zheng looked at it for a while, and found that this guy was actually asleep.....
Duan Tiande, Lu Kui, Dong Qianxiao and some other generals were like this, Han Dahu and Wu Weizhong didn't leave, so they were even more embarrassed to leave, so they had to sit there with sad faces, as if they were sitting on nails.
I don't know how long it took, the sky was getting darker, and these civil officials still didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, chanting a climax, bad poems one after another, full of red light.
Wang Zheng began to regret coming to this banquet, thinking that he would never participate in this kind of thing again, it was simply too torturous.
Wu Weizhong had already woken up, staring at the sky with dull eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Han Dahu had already drunk and went to see Duke Zhou, Duan Tiande kept a smile on his face in order to please the civil official, but this smile was more ugly than crying.
At nightfall, the singing of the poems finally stopped.
Wang Zheng's spirits lifted, since the goal has been achieved and the position of the inspection has been decided, then when will he not run at this time, and listen to them continue to chant those bad poems, right?
Sitting here for a long time, his buttocks were numb, Wang Zheng had already had enough, and when he saw the unfinished appearance of these literati, he quickly got up to loosen his muscles and bones, and was about to slip out.
"Wang Zheng, don't be anxious, how about staying and watching the play together?" Dong Chengping's voice came.
"Mom sells batches..."
Wang Zheng scolded the mother, trembled, turned around and smiled: "Okay... Watch the play, please know first..."
Wu Weizhong didn't have anything to worry about, and he wasn't afraid that Wang Dele and Dong Chengping would not be welcome, so he got up and patted his buttocks, lifted the drunk Han Dahu and walked towards the door without hesitation, and shook his head helplessly when he saw Wang Zheng who was shaking all over.
"Wang Zheng, this town will go back to the inn first, you... Ask for more blessings."
......
Everyone took their seats, this play was a farewell concubine to the overlord, Wang Zheng was bored, and when he looked back, there was actually a general waiting here in addition to himself.
Dong Qianxiao saw Wang Zheng looking at him, smiled politely, and continued to look at the stage indifferently, Wang Zheng was a little surprised, and also turned around.
