Wang Qinian chose a very ordinary teahouse near the Shaanxi Political Envoy Division, and looked at the clothes of the guests who entered and exited the teahouse, most of them were ordinary people.

This also shows from the side that Wang Qinian is really miserable, and the first time he invited Xu Liang, a leftist in Shaanxi to participate in politics, to drink tea, he actually chose such a low-grade teahouse.

Although Xu Liang doesn't know anything about tea tasting, it is everyone's nature to have a good face.

Yes, Xu Liang sat at the window on the second floor, listening to the noisy sound of the surrounding tea customers, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Wang Qinian was embarrassed, sat down opposite Xu Liang gently, and explained crampedly: "Lord Xu, although this teahouse is ordinary, it is expensive because the price is affordable, and the tea sold in this teahouse is made by the shopkeeper here, and it tastes good." ”

Xu Liang nodded lightly, looked around, and chuckled: "Lord Wang is too polite, in fact, this official really doesn't know anything about tea art, Lord Wang made a special trip to invite me to taste tea, but it's a pity that this good tea." ”

Xu Liang said this, Wang Qinian only thought that Xu Liang was sympathetic to his embarrassment, relieved himself, was grateful, and said with a forced smile: "Lord Xu really laughs." ”

It will take a while for the guy to serve tea, so Xu Liang said to Wang Qinian: "Lord Wang, I look at your expression, I really have something to do with this official." This official is a cheerful person, and Lord Wang has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wang Qinian hurriedly sat up straight, hesitated for a while, then looked at Xu Liang, and said sincerely: "Don't hide Lord Xu's jokes, Xiaguan is basically an officialdom joke in Xi'an City." ”

Xu Liang nodded and said, "Lord Wang's affairs, this official has also heard a little. ”

Wang Qinian laughed self-deprecatingly when he heard this. "Yes, my lord, although I have just arrived in Xi'an. But Xia Guan had already guessed that someone would definitely talk about Xia Guan's ugly things in front of adults. Actually, I'm not afraid of adult jokes. Xia Guan was originally also a Jinshi in the forty-sixth year of Wanli, although he did not enter the Shujishi, but he was also a second-class seventy-six. At that time, Xiaguan worked hard in Beijing for two years, and then he was successfully released to Shaanxi. Alas, I think that back then, my Wang Qinian was also full of ambition, dedicated to serving the country, with a lot of enthusiasm in his heart, and he dared to speak up as soon as he arrived at the Yamen of the Shaanxi Political Envoy. At that time, it was also very beautiful for a while. At that time, the old Zhou of Zhouji Buzhuang in Xi'an City appreciated the lower officials, and the eldest lady of the Zhou family was allowed to marry the lower officials as his wife......"

Xu Liang saw that Wang Qinian had fallen into deep memories unconsciously, and at this time, the man brought the tea over, Xu Liang took the opportunity to interrupt Wang Qinian and said: "Well, Lord Wang, the official will call you Brother Qinian, Brother Qinian, there is no need to revisit the past." Just say it. Looking for something about me, right? ”

When Wang Qinian heard this, his old face turned red, and he stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes without a trace by pouring tea for Xu Liang. With red eyes, he smiled at Xu Liang and said, "Lord Xu, this is the tea made by the shopkeeper himself, you can taste it." ”

Xu Liang took a sip. looked at Wang Qinian again.

Seeing this, Wang Qinian let out a long sigh. got up and bowed respectfully to Xu Liang. He said with anticipation in his eyes: "Lord Xu, I, Wang Qinian, have offended almost all my colleagues in this Xi'an Mansion, and now my official position as the deputy envoy of Cang is also in jeopardy. If I, Wang Qinian, am alone, I will lose my official position, but I still have a son and a daughter under my knees, both of whom are minors, and I need to be raised by Wang Qinian with a few taels of silver every month. I, Wang Qinian, would like to be the pawn of the adults and go to Hanzhong Road with the adults. Qi Nian's sincere heart hopes that adults will be fulfilled. ”

Xu Liang was stunned, he didn't expect Wang Qinian to say what he wanted to do, but he never thought that Wang Qinian would offer to go to Hanzhong Road with him.

Xu Liang came to Xi'an Mansion to take office this time, except for the iron head and one hundred and twenty guards, he didn't even bring a strategist and literati with him, so he could be said to be a bare-pole commander. And now this Wang Qinian is willing to go to Hanzhong Road with him, which is really a relief for Xu Liang.

However, Xu Liang immediately thought of the rumors about Wang Qinian, and he was a little drumming in his heart for using this subordinate who offended people everywhere.

Wang Qinian saw Xu Liang's hesitation, his heart was gloomy, and he bowed his hand to Xu Liang again: "Lord Xu, Qinian knows the concerns in the hearts of adults. In fact, after my wife returned to her parents' house with her children in a bad mood, I deeply reflected on my past and said ashamedly that the reason why I, Wang Qinian, fell to the point where I am today, is all because of my mouth. In the past few years, I have always kept in mind to be cautious in my words and deeds, and I have handled errands with trepidation. It can be said that in the past three years, Wang has never blushed at anyone, no matter whether he is a senior or a subordinate, I always greet him with a smile. Lord Xu, I, Wang Qinian, am here to assure you that I will never make the same mistakes in the past. If you don't believe me, I'm willing to make a heavy oath! ”

Xu Liang looked at Wang Qinian's face flushed, and hurriedly explained, Xu Liang waved his hand and said, "Brother Qinian, that's not what you mean." The first time we met, you were able to stand up and say you wanted to come with me, and I'm honestly very happy. It's just that you have also seen that I, the leftist of Shaanxi, participated in politics, and the political envoy Qian Bu did not want to see him there. And I also want to tell you that the governor of the three sides, Lord Yang Heyang, was born early with me, and he can't wait to drive me out of the court. Brother Qi Nian, you follow me, it may not be a good thing for your future career, you have to think about this carefully. ”

When Wang Qinian heard this, his expression hesitated for a while, and after a while, he smiled miserably and said: "Lord Xu, I have thought about it, with my current state Wang Qinian, I may lose my official position at any time." What else are you talking about? I decided, just follow the adults to Hanzhong Road. As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Xu Liang and begged: "Lord Xu, you can accept me." ”

When it came to this, Xu Liang couldn't refuse Wang Qinian directly, so he stepped forward to help Wang Qinian, and said with a sincere expression: "Brother Qinian, such a major event is not child's play, you should be cautious and cautious." In this way, don't be in a hurry to make up your mind, anyway, I will stay in Xi'an Mansion for a few days, you can go back and think about it, think about it clearly, if you insist on going to Hanzhong Road with me, you will come to me again at that time. ”

When Wang Qinian heard this, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he said sadly: "That, okay." ”

Xu Liang sat with Wang Qinian in the teahouse for a while, and then left. For whether to accept Wang Qinian. Xu Liang didn't particularly care about it. Xu Liang is also in urgent need of manpower in Hanzhong Dao, and this Wang Qinian is also a Jinshi from the Eight Classics. In terms of ability, it is not bad after all.

Xu Liang accepted Wang Qinian when he was at the lowest point in his life. It is foreseeable that in the future, as long as Wang Qinian is not just an unfamiliar white-eyed son, he will always be grateful to himself.

Although Qian Yongtai, the political envoy, did not want to see him, Xu Liang still had to fulfill the courtesy he should have to officials at all levels in Xi'an Prefecture. Xu Liang thought that he was already a member of Shaanxi Zuo's politics, although Qian Yongtai did not allocate a house to himself, but Xu Liang often had to stay in Xi'an Mansion, and it was really inconvenient to have no place to stay. So he simply asked Tietou to choose a three-entry mansion near the Yamen of the Shaanxi Political Envoy and simply swept it. With all the housekeepers and subordinates, Xu Liang himself and the more than 120 Tsing Yi guards lived in.

In the next few years, Xu Liang was busy entertaining. The three divisions of Shaanxi, the political envoy division, the probationary envoy division, the command of the envoy division, the prefect of Xi'an, the governor of Shaanxi, and the Jinyi guard Xi'an thousand households. Even several generals of the Xi'an garrison, Xu Liang lined up for time, visited one by one, and feasted and drank every day. Although the effect is sparse, it is familiar to me.

Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou as always cordially called Xu Liang's cousin Guozhong, when he and Xu Liang were in the study. Governor Hong told Xu Liang that Yang He, the governor of the three sides, had 100,000 taels of silver from the court. The confidence is sufficient, and recently several civilian armies have been appeased. And it seems that the situation is very good.

Governor Hong sincerely told Xu Liang that Governor Yang's great cause of appeasement was progressing smoothly, and both the court and Emperor Chongzhen were happy to see it happen. Now that Governor Yang is in the limelight, he wants Xu Liang to gather his wings and not to hit Governor Yang's gun.

Xu Liang couldn't help but slander, Old Man Yang spent my Xu Liang's silver, and he actually did a good job! What the fuck is this!

Despite his dissatisfaction, Xu Liang still agreed with Governor Hong's advice. When Old Yang is in the limelight, it's best not to mess with him.

Xu Liang then ordered the Tsing Yi Guard Detective Office to obtain the latest information about Governor Yang's appeasement, and after a brief look at it, Xu Liang couldn't stop sneering.

From the very beginning, Xu Liang thought that the appeasement policy carried out by Yang Lao Pifu was a joke. Now, Xu Liang once again thinks that it is a big joke.

According to Tsing Yiwei's intelligence, the reason why Governor Yang's recent recruitment has been relatively smooth is because every time he recruits a group of people's army, Governor Yang will give a resettlement place, a settlement fee, and a large amount of money to spend.

What is the difference between this and a robbery in the middle of the road, scattering silver to break the fortune and avoid disasters?!

Duan Zhigang, deputy of the Thousand Households Office of Jin and Wei'an, was the first person to visit Xu Liang.

In the living room, Duan Qianhu was extremely enthusiastic, not mentioning Xu Liang's desire to block the road and rob the road last time, and presented extremely generous gifts, repeatedly thanking Xu Liang for his cultivation of Duan Qianhu.

Duan Qianhu pretended to be stupid, and Xu Liang was also happy to see it. The two were polite for a while, and Xu Liang suddenly thought of asking Duan Zhigang about someone. Then he asked: "By the way, Brother Duan, recently I met an interesting official in the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, named Wang Qinian, I don't know if Brother Duan knows this person?" ”

Duan Zhigang laughed and said, "My lord, if you talk about others, the lower officials may not necessarily know." You said that this Wang Qinian, in this Xi'an City, I am afraid that no official does not know. ”

Xu Liang couldn't help but sigh, Wang Qinian made a typical example of the negative side of Xi'an Mansion's official reputation, and he didn't know whether to be happy for him or sad for him. Then he said: "Wang Qinian, I think it's very interesting, I want to bring him to Hanzhong Dao, what do you think, Brother Duan?" ”

Duan Zhigang paused, restrained his smile, his expression became solemn, looked at Xu Liang, and asked cautiously, "My lord, are you sure you are not joking with the lower officials?" ”

Xu Liang said: "I'm serious. ”

Duan Zhigang pondered for a while, and cautiously persuaded: "Wang Qinian, this person, used to have a very bad reputation. ”

Xu Liang smiled, "Brother Duan, you also said that it was in the past. How has Wang Qinian performed in the past two years? ”

Duan Zhigang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Hey, in the past two years, he seems to have stopped a lot. Then he smiled dumbly and said: "Hehe, my lord, in the past two years, Wang Qinian has been squeezed into the position of deputy envoy of the warehouse, and he has been dealing with the rat feces of the seven warehouses all day long. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, Xu Liang looked at Duan Zhigang solemnly and said, "Brother Duan, from your Jinyiwei point of view, is Wang Qinian a good person?" ”

Duan Zhigang thought for a long time, as if he was recalling a certain dossier, for a long time, Duan Zhigang raised his head, looked at Xu Liang and said slowly: "Xia Guan can only say that if the adult can make Wang Qinian change the stinky problem of offending people everywhere, Wang Qinian can be said to be a genius!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Liang couldn't help but be shocked, looked at Duan Zhigang in a daze, and asked, "God...... Just? ”

Duan Zhigang nodded slowly and said: "According to the file of Jin Yiwei, Wang Qinian is familiar with poetry and books, has a keen mind, and has the ability to never forget, and this person is very good at arithmetic, and the account books handled by him are no different from the real thing. I remember that in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, there was a waiter in the household department to Shaanxi Province to check the accounts, at that time Wang Qinian was still the ambassador of the library, Wang Qinian memorized the entire account book upside down, and was able to tell in detail the storage location of each thing, the storage time, etc., was shocked by the household waiter at that time. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "How can such a talent get mixed up in this role......

Duan Zhigang also sighed, "The lower officials have said that if you want to use him, you must first control his mouth!" ”

Xu Liang thought so.

After Duan Zhigang's confirmation, Xu Liang can be said to be bound to this Wang Qinian. is such a capable person, and he also asked Xu Liang to accept him, such a good thing, which made Xu Liang begin to doubt whether his character was too rebellious.

After visiting all the people who should be visited, the meaning is fulfilled, and Xu Liang will not be interesting to stay in Xi'an Mansion again.

The day before he decided to leave for Hanzhong Mansion, Xu Liang took Tietou to inquire about Wang Qinian's residence and visited him.

It was a small bungalow on the first floor near the bazaar. The narrow streets and old gates once again explained to Xu Liang wordlessly how miserable Wang Qinian was.

The iron head stepped forward and knocked on the door where the red paint was about to fade.

After a while, Wang Qinian's voice came from inside the house.

"Who?"

Immediately, the door opened on one side, and Wang Qinian poked his head out inquiringly, chewing steamed buns in his cheeks, drumming one by one.

This action was frozen the moment Wang Qinian saw Xu Liang outside the door.

"Brother Qi Nian, it's early!" Xu Liang said with a smile.

With his cheeks and eyes bulging, Wang Qinian looked at Xu Liang in a daze for a while, suddenly screamed, hurriedly retracted his head, and slammed the door shut, and then there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the door, as well as the sound of moving things, mixed with the sound of ceramic vessels falling to the ground in a certain year.

Xu Liang and Tietou stood outside the door of the house, staring at each other for a while, not understanding what Wang Qinian was doing.

Fortunately, the turmoil in the house did not last long, Wang Qinian opened the house again, rubbed his hands, blushed, and arched his hand towards Xu Liang: "The lower official committee really didn't expect Lord Xu to come in person, the house is too chaotic, just cleaned up, please come in." ”

Xu Lianghu looked at Wang Qinian suspiciously, and was curious about Wang Qinian's home. (To be continued......)
