As he was talking, Ni Yahui walked out of the yamen, looked at it for a while, and walked over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Meng Xiaoguanren." Ni Yahui knew the importance and understood that the county minister favored Meng Jiucheng and had a promising future in the future, so he greeted politely first, "Be polite, be polite." β
Meng Jiucheng turned around and saw that it was someone from the yamen, and hurriedly returned the salute, "This errand brother, you are polite." β
Ni Yahui said with a smile: "Meng Xiaoguan doesn't have to be polite, brother Ni Yahui is just a small errand in the county government. The magistrate of the county appreciates Meng Xiaoguan very much, and tomorrow he will ask the petty official to enter the government to do things. From now on, we will be colleagues, please take care of you. β
It's decided so soon? Meng Jiucheng blinked, and was very happy in his heart, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." The brother is a shallow learner, and he will ask Brother Ni for more advice in the future. Thisβ" He reached out and took out his usual meeting and handed it to Ni Yahui, "Thank you, Brother Ni, for telling my brother the good news, and taking it to tea." β
Ni Yahui waved his hand and refused, and said: "I was supposed to celebrate Brother Meng's wine, but I was just on a mission, and I couldn't get away, where did I dare to let Brother Meng break the bank?" Brother Li please, Ni is going to reply to the prince now. β
Meng Jiucheng estimated the hour, and while giving him away, he invited: "There is Brother Lao Ni." Seeing that it was noon, the brothers set up a turbid wine banquet in Juyuan Building, and hoped that Brother Ni would not refuse. β
Seeing that Meng Jiucheng was humble and polite, Ni Yahui was very useful in his heart, promised to return the salute, and left.
"Congratulations, Brother Xian." As soon as Wang Zhongfeng waited for Ni Yahui to leave, he congratulated Meng Jiucheng with a sincere expression.
Although Meng Jiucheng was sure, this time it was a stone landing, there was no suspense at all, he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Now that you have a clear understanding, you should celebrate." Let's go to the restaurant for a drink. β
When the four of them came to Juyuan Restaurant, it was almost noon, but there were not many people eating. It's not the most upscale restaurant in the county, but it's clean and elegant, and it can be ranked among the top few.
The window box is a little less noisy, but quiet and convenient. Wang Yiyong and Liuqiao were well-behaved, they only found a seat in the hall, served a simple meal, ate and drank first, and then went home by themselves.
"Replace wine with tea, I will congratulate the virtuous brother first, eat the official family's meal, this official will definitely become bigger and bigger in the future." Wang Zhongfeng raised his glass.
"Thank you, big brother." Meng Jiucheng clinked glasses with Wang Zhongfeng, took a sip, and said with a smile: "If the eldest brother also wants to eat official meals, it is not difficult. Wait a little time, and you'll have a chance. β
Wang Zhongfeng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The virtuous brother has just entered the public gate, and he must not fall into the handle because of the foolish brother. β
Listening to the meaning of Wang Zhongfeng's words, he must be willing. With the iron rice bowl served, the father and son will not worry about food and clothing, isn't it better to feel like wandering?
Meng Jiucheng smiled faintly, habitually touched his chin and said: "Big brother doesn't have to worry about his brother, with his good martial arts, if you want to eat a public dinner, the opportunity to eat a public meal is coming, and you can't stop it." β
"Oh? What do you mean by that, brother? Wang Zhongfeng looked at Meng Jiucheng with both confusion and curiosity, waiting for him to explain in detail.
Meng Jiucheng poured tea for Wang Zhongfeng and said slowly: "This time, the county magistrate is not only to recruit officials to clarify the politics of the county, but also to eliminate the robbers who raise thieves and loot. But it depends on the archers and fast catchers of the county, but it is difficult to succeed in this matter. If you want to capture it in one fell swoop without leaking the news, you must have people who have nothing to do with the thieves. Therefore, the resettlement of the displaced people in the north can achieve several goals. The first is to prevent the deterioration of the law and order situation; The second is to enrich the militia and establish an armed force that is trusted by the county governors. Other purposes are secondary. β
Wang Zhongfeng and Meng Jiucheng chatted on weekdays, and they also knew a little about the situation in the county, and after thinking about it for a while, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Xian refers to Zheng Binqing and his gang?" β
Meng Jiucheng nodded firmly, and said in a low voice: "The Zheng family has been operating in this county for a long time, and there are outlaws under him, and there must be internal officials in the yazhong. The magistrate knew it in his heart, and he didn't dare to act rashly. But looking at his methods, this Zheng clan will be eradicated sooner or later. β
Wang Zhongfeng heard the reason, nodded again and again, and asked: "Since the virtuous brother has entered the yamen, he won't do anything about making wine!" β
Meng Jiucheng thought for a while and said: "If it can be done, it is always good to have multiple inputs, and the cost is not big anyway." The brothers also did not want to buy land to build houses and expand the scale. As long as the process is clear, the finished product is produced, and then someone is found to join the shares, it is a long-term income without effort. β
"Brother Xian thinks long-term." Wang Zhongfeng nodded and said, "Then leave it to the foolish brother to do it, and the virtuous brother will take the time to give advice." In this way, Brother Fool and Yong'er can also live at ease. β
"Why does Big Brother still think like this?" Meng Jiucheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Don't say anything else, this teaching of art and martial arts alone is enough for the little brother to be used for life." In the future, with the martial arts taught by the eldest brother, I don't know how many times I can turn evil into good fortune, isn't this all the grace of the eldest brother? The eldest brother should not say this again in the future, but it will make it difficult for this brother to do it. β
Wang Zhongfeng laughed and said, "Brother Xian is reasonable, but he is hypocritical for his brother." I will make amends here, and I will not say this again. β
"If you are brothers, so it should be. Big brother, little brother toasts you. Meng Jiucheng raised tea to salute each other.
Drinking tea and chatting, the two waited for a long time, and Ni Yahui was late. Sitting down in the cold noise, Meng Jiucheng asked the guys to put vegetables, fruits and wine on the table, and the three of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, eating and drinking.
Ni Yahui has no deep friendship with Meng Jiucheng and Wang Zhongfeng, but he just knows Jia She's mind and wants to heat the stove. As for Meng Jiucheng, he adheres to the principle of multiple friends and multiple paths, and Ni Yahui is Jia She's side, so he naturally knows a lot about Jia She's temperament.
In the afternoon, there was no business, and Ni Yahui drank a lot of wine, and he talked more and more. The atmosphere on the wine table is also getting more and more enthusiastic, the wine is hot, calling brothers and sisters, and it seems that they have suddenly become relatives and old friends.
Meng Jiucheng drank an average amount of alcohol, but he drank less and listened more, and Wang Zhongfeng, who drank a lot of alcohol, was on the top. It's just that I secretly remember the rules of the Yazhong and the nature of the county.
While eating and drinking, there was a commotion outside. Meng Jiucheng looked down from the window, his eyes widened, and he got up and scolded: "Bastard who is begging to beat, you dare to provoke me." As he spoke, he bowed his hand to Ni Yahui, "Big brother, wait a minute, and wait for me to take care of those two scoundrels before drinking." β
Before Ni Yahui could understand, Meng Jiucheng had already strode out of the private room, pedaled downstairs, rushed straight to the door of the hotel, crossed the street in a few steps, and arrived at Niu Er, who was pestering Liuqiao and Wang Yiyong.
