The joy of his housewarming, but he couldn't stay at home to entertain guests, and the old man made Li Xi a little unable to react.

However, with his cleverness, even if he didn't know the inside story, he also understood that there must be something more important on the old man's side, otherwise, on such an important occasion, he would not have stayed for a few glasses of wine in person, and he should not have pulled his host away, but left the guests at home.

And the strange thing is that as the most distant guest, when he heard that Liu Bo was going to pull himself to a banquet elsewhere, the old man Li Yifeng did not have the slightest expression of being snubbed as a guest, but a smile on his face.

I don't know what's going on, Li Xi suddenly remembered the strange performances of Li Yifeng before and after, and in a trance, he seemed to have an understanding, so after getting into the carriage, he behaved extremely calmly.

Seeing his calm face, Old Man Liu Bo was suddenly pulled out by himself like this, but he didn't even ask where he went, he couldn't help but nodded, and then simply closed his eyes and recuperated.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped that Li Xi was about to bow down and get out of the car first, and the old man said lightly: "There may be something that surprises you later, well, settle down, don't panic, think clearly." ”

Li Xi paused when he heard this, and nodded slowly.

After getting out of the carriage, they found that the destination of the two of them on this trip was actually the mansion of Zhou Qiong, the master of the assassin history.

Li Xi immediately became more sure of the guess in his heart.

As soon as the carriage stopped, there was already a person dressed as a housekeeper in the house to greet him, when Li Xi picked up the old man Liu Bo and got out of the car, the old man's face was no longer the slightest bit of dignity just now, but a smile on his face, although the housekeeper bowed down to say goodbye, Liu Bo waved his hand, with an unhappy face, "You old guy, your beard is more white than me, please who is the son!" But somebody has to pluck your beard off for you? ”

After that, he took his hand and spoke affectionately, and the two laughed in a few words.

As the saying goes, the prime minister's concierge is a seven-grade official, this Zhou Qiong is the assassin of Benzhou, and his housekeeper naturally can't be judged as a housekeeper waiting for idlers, not to mention that it is said that this old housekeeper named Zhang Shan is an old family member who came with Zhou Qiong's wife, and it turns out that he is also a steward in Zhang Jiuling's family, and this status is even more extraordinary, so even Liu Bo, a high-ranking official of Shuzhou Sima, has never dared to treat him as a housekeeper.

Li Xi has always been well-behaved, and when he saw that Old Man Liu Bo was familiar with him, he quickly understood what to do to the old housekeeper who was half white. Therefore, as soon as the two of them finished their polite exchange, Li Xi immediately bowed down and said, "Li Xi, the erector, meets Steward Zhang." ”

Seeing this, Liu Bo nodded and smiled slightly, but Zhang Shan hurriedly stopped Li Xi and said with a smile: "The nephew and young master have tormented the old slave, the name of the first genius in Shuzhou, the old slave has been admired for a long time, and now it is thanks to the blessing of Lord Sima that I can see it!" Master Sima, Master Nephew, please come to the house, the wine and food have been prepared, and our master is waiting for the two of you. ”

Liu Bo smiled and nodded yes when he heard this, and said, "Don't let Lord Assassin Shi wait for a long time", and then Zhang Shanqian led the way, and the two entered the gate of the Zhou Mansion all the way and went all the way to the front hall.

Because it is an official mansion, the architectural pattern of this Zhou Mansion is not large, and the architectural style is extremely ordinary, but it is very ingenious to clean up, especially the green bamboo planted on both sides of the front hall, which is said to have changed only after he moved in. At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the green bamboo poles are tall and green, which suddenly makes this very ordinary building style of the hall look much more elegant and freehand. Obviously, Zhou Qiong was born as a Jinshi after all, and he is very talented in poetry, so he is also very particular about the house and residence.

Although Zhou Qiong is the first member of the local government and has three official residences, Liu Bo is only a subordinate official under him, and his grade is much lower, but Zhou Qiong is an official from outside after all, so he never dares to slack off on a local boss like Liu Bo. At the moment, he was invited to a small banquet in the house, although he only sent the old housekeeper of the house to the door to greet him, and after hearing the greetings of the next person, he still got up in person to greet the hall, and greeted him from afar, "Brother Zhongyi, come on, the freshly roasted whole leg of lamb, the way to eat in Chang'an, just wait for you to come to the first knife!" ”

After Liu Bo laughed and said hello when he heard this, he turned his head to the old housekeeper Zhang Shan and said: "The people of Shu dislike mutton, so most of them don't like to eat it, but they just like this thing, and the last time I ate wine in a place, I just mentioned it slightly, I don't want your adults to remember it, okay, today Lao Liu will taste this Chang'an way to eat here at Lord Thorn Shi!" ”

At that moment, several people laughed when they heard the words, and when Liu Bo and Zhou Qiong finished talking, Li Xi stepped forward to say hello, Zhou Qiong looked at Li Xi with a smile, turned his head to Liu Bo and said, "Master Sima is looking for a good son-in-law!" ”

Liu Bo laughed when he heard this, but Li Xi won the award in a row.

At that moment, a few people talked and laughed and turned around and entered the front hall, and sure enough, they saw that a full table of wine and food had been prepared, among which there were three roasted golden leg of mutton placed in front of the three seats.

And his eyes were sharp enough, and at a glance he saw that the one next to the banquet was one of the several jars of new wine that he had sent to Liu Lan yesterday.

Between talking and laughing, the three of them sat down in turn, Zhou Qiong was the main seat, Liu Bo was the main seat, and Li Xi was the last seat.

Three maidens stood behind them holding pots.

Picking up the wine glass, Zhou Qiong smiled at Li Xi and said, "The good wine you brew is just too strong, although I boast of being good at drinking, I only dare to drink it!" ”

Li Xi is a provocative eyebrow, and smiled when he heard the words, "This new wine is the first to be made, but it doesn't even have a name, although the students have also thought about a few, but they always feel that they are not talented, Lord Thorn Shi has always been known for his talent, and the students have always admired it very much, if the adults don't give up, how about giving a name for this new wine?" ”

Zhou Qiong smiled when he heard this, accepted Li Xi's compliment calmly, pondered for a moment, and said: "This wine is produced in Jiannan Dao, and it is so strong, well, according to the official's opinion, it is appropriate to call it [Jiannan Burning Spring]." He turned his head to look at Liu Bo and asked, "What does Master Sima think?" ”

Liu Bo stroked his palms when he heard this, "Good name, just right, this wine has been given such a good name by Lord Shi, and it will be known all over the world in the future, Xi'er, I don't want to respect you Uncle Zhou Shi!" ”

At first glance, Li Xi was slightly stunned when he heard that Liu Bo had changed his name, but soon he understood that sure enough, the main event was actually coming from the beginning.

At that moment, he raised his glass and said, "Uncle Shi, the little nephew respects you with a glass, thank you for giving the name of the new wine." "To put it in a word, to raise a glass and drink it.

Zhou Qiong smiled when he saw this, and also picked up the cup and drank a cup.

After the maid who was waiting on the side came over to fill the cups for the two, Li Xi waited for Zhou Qiong to speak, but at this time, Zhou Qiong actually turned his head and talked to Liu Bo, and the two chatted as if they had forgotten that there was another person at the scene, from beginning to end, the two of them just laughed and talked to each other, and no one said a word to Li Xi.

Li Xi, who originally thought that the main event was about to appear, felt as if he had hit a heavy punch, but he hit the empty place squarely, and he was empty and had nowhere to focus, which was really uncomfortable.

It wasn't until Zhou Qiong and Liu Bo looked like they were five or six points drunk, and the banquet was about to end, Zhou Qiong turned his head to look at Li Xi with a smile, and said: "Speaking of which, you are very good at managing money, well, Zhang Shan, the housekeeper in my house, has been taking care of my family's livelihood for me all these years, I can't say that there must be something to talk about between you, so I ordered him to visit your door and ask you for advice on this new wine." ”

Hearing him specifically mention the word new wine, Li Xi knew that there must be something else here, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Liu Bo, just when the old man threw over a look, Li Xi understood at the moment, and said with a smile: "Steward Zhang is a veteran of financial management, speaking of which, it should be the little nephew who came to visit and ask for advice, where dare to work his old man, if the adult is not to blame, the little nephew will come to visit another day, this new wine, Steward Zhang has a life, and the kid will not dare to hide his privacy." ”

Zhou Qiong nodded and smiled when he heard this, but just said, "My family, you don't have to be so polite, come and sit when you are free." After that, he turned his head and talked and laughed with Liu Bo, but he didn't mention anything else.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, the old man Liu Bo got up to say goodbye after drinking a few more glasses with Zhou Qiong, and Zhou Qiong didn't keep it, but just sent it to the front of the hall, and only turned back after seeing the two of them go away.

Then I saw Zhang Shan, the old housekeeper who had been missing just now, come over with a cup of tea, and asked with a smile: "What do you think when you see this Li Xi?" ”

Zhou Qiongbo took a sip of tea soup and pondered for a moment before saying, "The material that can be made!" ”

※※※

It wasn't until the two of them got into the carriage and left the Zhou Mansion in the middle of the horse's hooves that Liu Bo let out a long breath, turned his head to look at Li Xi, and said with a smile: "It's good, it's very calm." ”

Li Xi thought for a while and asked, "How much does Master Thorn Shi want for the new wine?" ”

Liu Bo stretched out two fingers when he heard this, and Li Xi couldn't help but feel a pain when he saw it.

Good guy, a table of banquets, and ignoring Lao Tzu's love to answer, he is actually about to leave 20% with one mouth, which is really ruthless! And it is almost needless to say, if Lord Thorn Shi becomes a shareholder, it must be a dry stock, and it will definitely not give you a share with real money!

Seeing Li Xi's gasping look, Liu Bo smiled instead, "Let's come here today, it's just a gift, don't feel distressed, this is you, if you change to Lan'er and Rong'er, we won't dare to accept this gift if we want to give it." ”

Hearing this, Li Xi looked up at him and asked, "What do you mean......?" ”

"In two days, Lord Zhou will personally go to the scribe's department and Jiannan Dao, in the name of being famous and good at financial management, to ensure that you, a local dormitory student, are the main book of Jinyuan County. How, is it worth it? ”

Is it worth it?

Certainly value, and great value.

A Jinshi was born, after studying in various ministries for half a year, it is only the future of the county order, and the top three or two can stay in the Hanlin Academy to have a leisurely job, compared with the world-famous Jinshi, which onion is he Li Xi?

Besides, Li Xi's father has also been a staff member for others for many years, because of his effective use, he was only blinded by others in the end, and he raised a future for the master of Jinyuan County. But right now, he Li Xi is just eighteen years old, and he has no fame or resume, and he has no identity background, but he is about to leave the head of any county...... I'm afraid there is no better deal in the world!

But the problem is that Li Xi always feels that there is another mystery here.

Although he said that he had a hat on his head that was famous and good at managing money, if he could exchange 20% of the new wine for an official shirt from the ninth grade, then Zhou Qiong's official was too cheap.

It's just that Liu Bo didn't want to say it, so Li Xi didn't ask, because he knew that he would definitely get all the news from Liu Rong afterwards. Not only him, looking at the strength of the old man Li Yifeng in the past few days, maybe the old fox of this officialdom has already understood something.

Speaking of which, it may not be presumptuous for him to suddenly come over to congratulate him uninvited today.

Sure enough, when the carriage went around to Jingbianfang and sent Li Xi to the door of the house before turning back to Chongde Fang, Li Xi returned to his new home, only to find that although the banquet had already dispersed, the old man Li Yifeng, who was a guest, did not leave, and was sitting there chatting with his third uncle Li Qiu.

Seeing Li Xi come back, Li Qiu quickly said goodbye and left, only Li Xi and Li Yifeng were left in the front hall, Li Xi took a sip of tea, looked over with a smile, and said, "I said Lord Bookkeeper, you sell deep enough." ”

Li Yifeng stood up with a smile when he heard this, and arched his hand: "Now it's time for the old man to call you the master of the book, don't make a mistake about your identity, the old man can't afford to be a wow!" ”

Li Xi smiled, and was also noncommittally calm about his sudden change to an honorific title, and immediately glanced at him deeply, and just said lightly: "Please sit down, tell me, how did your old man feel the taste." ”

Li Yifeng sat down when he heard this, touched his beard with a smile, and said: "I don't dare to boast about other things, but when it comes to the ability to figure things out in this officialdom, the old man doesn't have to be humble, he thinks he still has some eyesight." ”

Then he looked at Li Xi with a smile and said: "Just a month before the old man died of illness, the county order of Qingcheng County was vacant, and the master of the assassin history wrote a letter to be transferred by Zheng Shuang Zheng, who joined the army in Benzhou. ”

After a pause, he took a sip of tea and continued: "Led by Lord Gao Yuegao in this state, it is Lord Pei Junpei of Jinyuan County who is interested, the history of the governor of this state has been vacant for half a year, and Liu Sima is silent, in this case, everyone knows that if the candidates recommended by the two adults are different, then it is better not to recommend, and simply let the boss send someone down, so this matter has dragged on like this, and the situation has not changed until the old man complains of illness." ”

"But just when everyone thought that this time it must be chosen by Jiannan Dao or the Ministry of Officials, just four days ago, news suddenly came out from the Assassin's Mansion that Lord Thorn Shi's performance of Lord Zheng Shuang had been sent out......"

When he said this, he didn't need to listen to Li Xi anymore and already understood, it must have been his future father-in-law, Old Man Liu Bo, who suddenly made a move, and suddenly won the support of his local boss, Zhou Qiong, the assassin of the history of the emperor, defeated Beijia Gaoyue in one fell swoop, forcing him to give up his plan and agree with the candidate he recommended instead.

Then, being able to serve as the chief secretary of Jinyuan County should be part of this transaction.

As for the new drinkers...... In the final analysis, it is just used to get closer to the relationship between himself and the assassin Shi Zhou Qiong, but it is useless at all in such a major matter related to the appointment of officials.

And today's banquet should be regarded as Zhou Qiong's investigation of himself, right?

Thinking of this, Li Xi couldn't help but sigh, the old man's actions were really well-intentioned.

But if you think about it carefully, it is really me who is the most suitable to help the old man get this harvest, after all, he still has the aura of a talented man on his head, and in comparison, although Liu Lan seems to be more suitable, but once the person who is promoted is him, it is impossible to say that the old man Liu Bo will have a reputation of nepotism. On the contrary, although he is related to the Liu family, he has not yet married Wan'er, and it is the most suitable to stand up at this time.

It's just that...... Is Lao Tzu going to be an official?

How does it feel like a dream?

At this time, Li Yifeng saw that Li Xi was distracted, so he smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I have been traveling all over the world in my life, and I have been in the scenes of others for nearly 20 years, until I was in my forties, and I have a position as the chief bookkeeper. ”

Li Xi suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the old man Li Yifeng, and thought to himself that this guy looked very graceful and graceful, but in fact, he had been in the officialdom for decades, but he had already become an old fox. Presumably, he smelled a hint of the sudden victory of Master Zheng Shuang, so he suddenly decided to stay, right?

Speaking of which, he is now in his fifties, and because of his relationship with his daughter-in-law. Jian's scandal came out and he was forced to resign from illness, unless there is any great opportunity in this life, I am afraid it is unlikely that he will do anything.

And he went to any county at a young age, and the starting point is high enough, and it can be regarded as a good medium for him who is in trouble now. And although he has a high starting point, he doesn't even have any experience as an official......

Li Xi smiled, looked at him, and said, "Mr. is sick this time, if you are not in a hurry to return to your hometown to dissipate Yueyue, I want to ask Mr. to come back and plan for me, a new official, I wonder if Mr. can accept it?" ”

When Li Yifeng heard this, he smiled even brighter than him, and even when he got up and arched his hand, he said: "If you want it, you don't dare to ask for it!" ”

The words fell, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
