Chapter Eighty-Six: The County Lieutenant

Gao Huaiyuan looked at the face of this errand dumbfounded, and said in his heart that the efficiency of Dad's work is too high, he has just come back from Shaoxing, and he hasn't even entered the house, and the appointment of his county lieutenant has been passed down from above, and he dares to do this too quickly!

It stands to reason that the news transmission in this era is very slow, and he thought that even if there was news, he would have to wait at least another month, but he didn't expect that this time the incident was much more than he expected!

Guo Liang stood up and hurriedly congratulated Gao Huaiyuan: "Congratulations to County Lieutenant Gao!" Let's see what the little one said! I just talked about it again, and now the news has been confirmed! ”

Gao Huaiyuan was a little embarrassed by them, and the people who were in this wine shop also heard what the errand said, and quickly turned their heads to see who the new Daye County Lieutenant was, which made Gao Huaiyuan a little untenable here, and quickly checked out and left the wine shop, and said to Guo Liang: "Since this is the case, then I won't delay here, I will go back to the old mansion to receive the decree first, and you two will go back to work first, and when I come back, I will definitely set up a banquet to entertain you!" Farewell! ”

Guo Liang and the messenger hurriedly sent Gao Huaiyuan away, Gao Huaiyuan turned over and got on his horse, beat the horse and galloped out of the city, and after more than an hour, he ran back to the old house of the Gao family.

And the gongs and drums outside the old mansion have long been noisy, and many of those who came to report the good news were errand soldiers who Gao Huaiyuan knew, and a group of drummers were brought in, which made the old mansion of the Gao family very lively.

When Gao Huaiyuan rode his horse to the door, a servant saw Gao Huaiyuan and immediately rushed into the old mansion and shouted, "The young master is back!" The young master is back! ”

Without waiting for Gao Huaiyuan to enter the courtyard, a group of people poured out of the courtyard, led by an official from Ezhou, accompanied by Daye County Cheng and others, Gao Huaiyuan immediately clasped his fists and said: "Gao is late because of something, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

"It's not late, it's not too late! Just right! Hehe! This is Lord Yu from the Yamen of the Ezhou Prefect, and he has come to issue a decree for Young Master Gao! Please also ask Young Master Gao to go in and receive the order! Zhang Xiancheng is also Gao Huaiyuan's old acquaintance, so he immediately returned the salute and introduced Gao Huaiyuan to this Lord Yu who came to issue an edict for Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly greeted this Lord Yu again, and everyone entered the Gao family's old mansion, and the people in the old mansion had already cleaned the main hall according to Ji Xiancheng's instructions and made all preparations.

This adult surnamed Yu has obviously been arranged by Ji Xiancheng to be taken care of, so after seeing Gao Huaiyuan, although he was a little surprised because of Gao Huaiyuan's youth, but fortunately, he had heard about Gao Huaiyuan before he came, and he did not underestimate Gao Huaiyuan, and after a moment of greeting, he read out the edict appointed by Gao Huaiyuan, and then handed it to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan naturally knelt down honestly to thank Sheng'en, took the edict that his father had worked so hard to ask for him with both hands, and unfolded it to look at it, this kind of thing was the first time he had seen it, and it roughly noted his resume and merits, and then appointed him, the wording was gorgeous, but in the final analysis, it was to make him fill in the post of county lieutenant of Daye County, so far Gao Huaiyuan's official matter was settled.

Don't look at Gao Huaiyuan, he doesn't want to see this little county lieutenant, but for the people in the Gaojiazhuang area, this matter is not a trivial matter, thinking that their Gao family father and son are officials together, such a thing is really rare here, so the neighbors rushed to tell each other, and the people who came to congratulate them surrounded the Gao family's old house.

Since this matter has been like this, Gao Huaiyuan did not resist anything, he simply was generous once, and set up a banquet to entertain everyone who came to issue the edict, and everyone sealed a generous gift, so that everyone could be said to be happy, even the adult surnamed Yu from Ezhou also nodded again and again, secretly praising Gao Huaiyuan, this kid knows what to do, this trip is really not in vain, and the harvest is quite good.

During the banquet, Gao Huaiyuan also took a few altars of fairy drunk, so that everyone feasted once, only Lord Yu was fortunate to taste this kind of fairy drunk in Ezhou, and the rest of the people were the first to taste this wine, and everyone was surprised that Gao Huaiyuan could come up with such a good wine.

"County Lieutenant Gao! If this official is not mistaken, this is an extremely rare immortal drunk! This wine is only unique to the drunken immortal building in Ezhou, I don't know why Gao County Lieutenant can buy so many immortal drunk? After Lord Yu entered a glass of wine, he pointed to the wine jar and asked Gao Huaiyuan, even if it is a state government official like him, it is not easy to drink this thing, and Gao Huaiyuan took out a few jars at once, which surprised him a lot.

"Don't hide it from your lord, this wine is indeed the drunken immortal of the Drunken Immortal Building, just because the son of the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, who used to be friends with Gao, so he got some through him, and today the adults came to issue an edict, and the lower officials did not dare to hide this wine privately, so they took it out and invited the adults to taste it!" Gao Huaiyuan had already thought of the excuse and answered it casually.

After hearing Gao Huaiyuan say this, this Lord Yu didn't think much about it, but he refused to let go while holding the wine glass, and after a series of entertainments, he got drunk and was picked up by Zhang Xiancheng.

After a lot of excitement, Gao Huaiyuan was able to send these people away, and when he left, that Lord Yu didn't forget to find Gao Huaiyuan and asked for an altar of fairy drunk and put it on the sedan chair to bring back smoothly, you must know that a pot of this thing is worth a lot of money, such a small altar of fairy drunk, even if you have money on the market, you can't get it, so when Lord Yu left, he was very satisfied.

After sending away this Lord Yu and Zhang Xiancheng, Gao Huaiyuan finally made time to receive the neighbors who came to congratulate him, and even the neighbors who came to congratulate him also had a reward, which made these villagers have a lively time.

It was like this until midnight, and Gao Huaiyuan returned to the backyard exhausted, and lay on the bed with a wail: "God! Such a toss is more tiring than fighting in front of the army! Stand! I can't stand it! ”

At this time, I only heard the door ring, and I saw Ji Xiancheng pick up the curtain and walk into Gao Huaiyuan's room, and said with a teasing face: "What? County Lieutenant Gao has just been an official for half a day, do you feel tired? ”

Gao Huaiyuan didn't see Ji Xiancheng since he came back, and when he suddenly appeared, he hurriedly stood up and let Ji Xiancheng sit down in the room, and asked Liu Er to make tea, and then smiled: "To be honest, Mr. Ji, Gao really doesn't care whether he is an official or not, if he has the temperament of the next, he prefers to live like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and is more comfortable, but since my father has done so much for me, I reluctantly accepted this errand!" It made Mr. Ji laugh, how can I be an official! ”

Ji Xiancheng looked at Gao Huaiyuan with eyes that seemed to be able to see through people, but he didn't see any hypocrisy in Gao Huaiyuan's words, so he pondered for a while and then asked: "Then Ji is very curious, since Young Master Gao doesn't want to be an official, why would he raise so many family members privately?" What does Young Master Gao think, can you tell Ji honestly? ”

Gao Huaiyuan was shocked when he heard this, Ji Xiancheng arrived at the old mansion two days earlier than him, could it be that he saw something from the old mansion?

"What do you mean by that, sir? Aren't there so many people here? Gao Huaiyuan calmed down and pretended to be puzzled.

"Why is the young master hiding it like this? Ji has heard about a lot of good deeds in the past few years from Young Master Gao, and I am afraid that now the orphans adopted by Young Master are not less than five hundred or less than three hundred! Judging from the contact with Young Master Gao these days, Ji Mou prides himself on being not stupid, and he can also see some thoughts in Young Master Gao's heart, although Ji still doesn't know how much family money Young Master Gao has accumulated, but it can also be seen that it is impossible for Young Master Gao to raise people without strong financial resources!

Ji was very curious about how Young Master Gao had laid this foundation in just a few years, but Ji believed that it was impossible for Young Master Gao to do so many things with just the property of the old mansion!

Young Master Gao is young, what does he want to do? Is it just that you want to become a rich businessman? Not like! Not really! With Young Master Gao's ability, Ji felt that Young Master Gao seemed to be preparing for something big! If Young Master Gao doesn't trust him, then although there is no need to tell Ji, it is not interesting for Ji to stay, and Ji will leave for Shaoxing early tomorrow morning! Ji Xiancheng saw that there was no one around, so his expression became serious, and he said to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan's expression also sank, his eyes stared at Ji Xiancheng's eyes, he didn't speak for a long time, the two of them just looked at each other like this, they didn't speak, and the room suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, Gao Huaiyuan sighed slightly and said, "Mr. is really a clear-eyed person!" It seems that Gao doesn't want to hide anything from Mr. Ji's eyes! I would like to ask Mr. Ji a question! Can I trust Mr. Ji? ”

After Ji Xiancheng blinked his eyes, he stroked the beard on his chin and replied with a smile: "Not necessarily!" Believe it or not, it's all up to the young master! ”

Gao Huaiyuan gradually smiled, and after the two looked at each other again, they laughed loudly together.

Liu Er happened to cook tea at this time and sent it over, looking at Gao Huaiyuan and Ji Xiancheng laughing out loud like crazy, not knowing what happened to them.

When Ji Xiancheng turned around Crouching Tiger Village, he couldn't help but sigh: "Although Ji doesn't know what adventures Young Master Gao has, but after seeing Young Master Gao's Zhuangzi, Ji has to admire Young Master Gao's whimsy!" It turns out that these hot things on the market in recent years are all from the hands of Young Master Gao! No wonder Young Master Gao can have such strong financial resources!

Since Young Master Gao trusts Ji, then please rest assured, Ji will help you fulfill your wish! Ji used to be conceited and learned, and he didn't dare to say that he knew everything and knew everything, but he also dared to say that there were not many people who could convince me, but today Ji Mou wants to say that for Young Master Gao, he is convinced! ”

"Mr. Ji is polite! These things are just small skills of carving insects, Gao did this, but only for the sake of our Han people in the future, there is no more ambition, if one day the world is really as Gao expected, I hope to have the ability to do something for our Han people, and it is not in vain to come to this world! Even if he fails, Gao has nothing to regret! Gao Huaiyuan stood beside Ji Xiancheng, looking down at the Crouching Tiger Villa he had built single-handedly, and couldn't help but be arrogant.

When Gao Huaiyuan told Ji Xiancheng his true thoughts, Ji Xiancheng followed Gao Huaiyuan to Crouching Tiger Village, which also showed that Gao Huaiyuan had regarded Ji Xiancheng as his own person, and there was nothing to hide from Ji Xiancheng!

The two of them watched while walking, after Gao Huaiyuan took Ji Xiancheng to walk around the villa, looking at the scale of Crouching Tiger Village and those various novel products, Ji Xiancheng also had to be impressed by Gao Huaiyuan's intelligence, it is already commendable that a person can create a new thing, but Gao Huaiyuan has created so many novelties in a row, which is easy to understand, in Ji Xiancheng's eyes, Gao Huaiyuan now seems to be full of demonic energy, if he has no adventures, then he is definitely a genius.

Ji Xiancheng also tried to understand this, with Gao Huaiyuan's experience before the age of twelve, he shouldn't know so many things, but Gao Huaiyuan's answer to him made him somewhat dissatisfied, because Gao Huaiyuan told him that when he was twelve years old, since he was struck by lightning, many things appeared in his mind, and he didn't know why.

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Ji Xiancheng couldn't explain the reason, and in the end it could only be attributed to the fact that this should be Gao Huaiyuan's adventure!

After visiting Gao Huaiyuan's Crouching Tiger Village, Ji Xiancheng understood how much financial resources Gao Huaiyuan was hiding behind him, with his current listed or unlisted products, which are definitely sought-after goods on the market, just a fairy drunk is enough to make Gao Huaiyuan make a lot of money, not to mention those other things, it can be said that Gao Huaiyuan has no problem turning over a few more times in a short period of time.

With such abundant financial resources, if Gao Huaiyuan wanted to do something, it would be really easy, and what surprised Ji Xiancheng even more was that when Gao Huaiyuan was doing these things, he hid these things very well, if Gao Huaiyuan didn't say it, Ji Xiancheng really couldn't have imagined that Gao Huaiyuan would have so many industries right now.

In this way, Gao Huaiyuan has raised a notch in Ji Xiancheng's parity, secretly accumulating strength, not arrogant or impetuous, it is really not easy for a person of his age to do it!

And after this period of communication with Gao Huaiyuan, Ji Xiancheng, who originally did not pay much attention to the Mongols, also began to pay attention to the Mongolian army again, and after rethinking it, he fundamentally agreed with Gao Huaiyuan's view, that is, in the near future, the Mongolian army will become the biggest enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, plus his understanding of today's government and politics, and also agreed with Gao Huaiyuan's opinion, that is, after this continues, I am afraid that I can't expect the imperial court to make a difference when it turns against the Mongolian army in the future, since the imperial court can't count on it, Then he understands Gao Huaiyuan's deliberate preparations.

The unity of thought also made Ji Xiancheng completely impressed by Gao Huaiyuan's ambition, and he was deeply pleased to meet Gao Huaiyuan this time, since Gao Huaiyuan is an ignorant young man, he can think so much for the Han people, so he, a well-educated person, is not as good as Gao Huaiyuan? So Ji Xiancheng made up his mind to accompany Gao Huaiyuan in the future and become a big help to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan was naturally overjoyed about Ji Xiancheng's statement, with such a person to assist him, in the future, there must be someone who can help him with advice, it can be said that Gao Huaiyuan has also regarded Ji Xiancheng as a personal staff, and the two have been tied together since then.

And Gao Huaiyuan finally learned from Ji Xiancheng about the frustration of Ji Xiancheng's officialdom, it turned out that Ji Xiancheng was a high-spirited scholar a few years ago, and he liked to speak up, after the middle move, he saw that Shi Miyuan was in the dictatorship of the court, so he wrote a 10,000-character book with enthusiasm, and wrote a book of 10,000 words on the current saint, impeaching Shi Miyuan's dictatorship, but unfortunately he was too naΓ―ve back then, and the result was that the 10,000-character book that he finally wrote was not presented to the hands of today's saint Zhao Kuo, so he passed Shi Miyuan's words there, was intercepted and fell into the hands of Shi Miyuan.

The result is naturally conceivable, Shi Miyuan read the article written by Ji Xiancheng to impeach him, and almost did Ji Xiancheng out, and then it was still seen that someone dissuaded him, for fear of causing more dissatisfaction with the reader, let Ji Xiancheng live, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime is unforgivable, and Ji Xiancheng, who had just stepped into the official career, was degraded to the common people in the end, and said that he would never be hired, and Ji Xiancheng's road to promotion was cut off.

After Ji Xiancheng was hit by this, he lived quite depressed for a period of time, and he collapsed, drinking all day long.

The result was that his wife also ran away, the family business also failed, and he almost lived on the street to make a living, Ji Xiancheng committed suicide by throwing himself into the water between grief and anger, but fortunately he was rescued by Gao Jian, who was passing by, and Gao Jian saw that Ji Xiancheng was talented and compassionate, so he secretly took in Ji Xiancheng, who can be regarded as Ji Xiancheng's benefactor.

After Ji Xiancheng experienced this blow, he also matured ideologically, and no longer had hope for the imperial court, so An Sheng began to live in seclusion and became Gao Jian's guest, giving Gao Jian some ideas from time to time, but also won Gao Jian's trust.

This time Gao Jian asked Ji Xiancheng to assist Gao Huaiyuan, in fact, Ji Xiancheng was not very happy at the beginning, only out of gratitude to Gao Jian, he reluctantly agreed, he planned to come here to see the situation first, if Gao Huaiyuan is not worthy of his help, he will leave here after assisting Gao Huaiyuan for a period of time, and travel to the Quartet! can be regarded as repaying Gao Jian's kindness to him back then.

But at the moment, it seems that Ji Xiancheng's dream of traveling the world is going to be shelved for the time being, because Ji Xiancheng has now been tied to his chariot by Gao Huaiyuan, and now he will not easily get off Gao Huaiyuan's chariot, Ji Xiancheng wants to run down with this chariot to see how much surprise Gao Huaiyuan can bring him again.
