"Master Nie, students are not interested in the imperial examination......"

In front of Nie Xiaoqian, Gu Ming could only repeat his previous statement.

"No matter what, everyone has their own aspirations......"

Nie Hongshu sighed rather regretfully.

Then, after a while, the wine and food were finally served.

"Come, Gu Sheng, you're welcome, I'm going to have a good time today."

During the banquet, Nie Hongshu frequently persuaded him to drink.

I was so drunk that I couldn't help but mention the dream that my daughter said.

"Although I don't believe this, there are some things I still want to refer to your opinion.

Before, you asked the little girl to remind the official to beware of villains, is it possible that there is any deep meaning? ”

In fact, Nie Hongshu was still a little worried in his heart.

After all, he is not familiar with Guobei's life, so he naturally wants to know more about the relevant situation.

"This ......" Gu Ming pondered for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Please forgive the student for boldly asking the last question, does Master Nie want to be a good official?" ”

"Huh?"

Nie Hongshu was stunned.

Yu'er, who was standing aside, was so anxious that she looked at her.

How can anyone ask so directly?

Isn't this deliberately provoking the old man's anger?

Fortunately, Nie Hongshu was not angry, but picked up the wine glass alone and drank it all.

Then he replied with a straight face: "This official is a dignified person, not like some officials who spend money to buy." ”

This remark can be regarded as an indirect indication of attitude.

And what he alluded to was the county order of Guobei County: Qin Shou!

Just by hearing the name, you can roughly infer that his family is really not very cultured.

When the dynasty was prevalent in donating officials, to put it bluntly, it was to spend money to buy officials in order to increase the income of the imperial court.

Donating a county order is at least a price of thousands of taels, and the highest can reach more than 10,000 taels.

For example, Qin Shou spent eight thousand taels of silver to get his wish.

An official like this who doesn't know a few big characters and is eager to get back the silver, can he still be expected to be a clean official?

Then the student speaks clearly. If Lord Nie wants to be a good official who is loved by the people, he will inevitably offend many people.

Otherwise, you will have to go along with it. It's almost impossible to be alone. ”

"Hehe, that's kind of interesting, keep talking."

"I believe that Master Nie also understands the current situation of Guobei County to some extent, it is completely a muddy water, and the relationship network is intricate, and it affects the whole body......"

Anyway, Gu Ming has also watched a lot of historical dramas.

The various battles involved in it, and even the palace fights, can be described as frightening and exciting.

Now learning and selling, he talks about the Tao at the head, and he is in the slightest, and he is completely distracted when he hears Nie Hongshu.

"Therefore, I secretly think that it is not appropriate for adults to take risks alone and confront them head-on, but to show the enemy weakness and slowly try to ......"

Hearing this, Nie Hongshu couldn't help but ask: "Do you mean to pretend to be in the same stream with them?" ”

"Yes and no. Adults can pretend to participate in some things that are not too contrary to principles, and even accept some bribes.

Of course, it's not really collected, it's just for a show...... But it takes the cooperation of someone from above.

I believe that adults should have the same family or familiar people in the government.

In this way, you can make an account of every money you receive and hand it over quietly.

When enough evidence is gathered, then counterattack in one fell swoop, so that the opponent cannot find the slightest chance to turn over......"

"Shhh

Nie Hongshu couldn't help but gasp.

Then he smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, the opponent of this official is not you, otherwise it ......"

At this time, Yu'er couldn't help but walk to the young lady's side, and said in her ear: "I didn't expect Gu Gongzi to be so insidious." ”

Actually, she doesn't mean anything derogatory, but she doesn't know how to describe it.

"Ahem~"

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't blame, so she could only cough dryly, and glared at Yu'er, suggesting that she should not speak indiscriminately.

"I hope the adults don't laugh."

"No, no, no, this official is really inspired. To tell the truth, this official has always studied poetry and books hard, and he is sincere, but he has neglected the way of being an official......"

At this time, Yu'er couldn't hold back, and asked boldly: "Gu Gongzi has never been an official, how did he learn these curved ways?" ”

"Yu'er must not be rude!"

"Yes, sir!"

Yu'er was so frightened that she stuck out the tip of her tongue.

"Haha, Master Nie doesn't have to blame Yu'er, if you want to talk about these twists and turns...... Perhaps, I learned it from the drama. ”

"Nie has been taught!"

This time, Nie Hongshu did not call himself the official, but humbly called so-and-so.

It can be seen that it is an expression of gratitude from the heart.

"Lord Nie is serious."

"Come on, come on, Nie will give you a drink...... Xiaoqian, you also salute your son. ”

"Yes!"

The wine is scattered.

Gu Ming said goodbye to the father and daughter of the Nie family and returned happily.

In his mind, he could be regarded as doing a great good deed today, which indirectly changed the fate of Nie Hongshu and even Nie Xiaoqian.

After tonight's conversation, I believe that Nie Hongshu will definitely benefit a lot, step by step, and it is likely that Guobei County will change the sky in the end.

Once Qin Shou is overthrown and a great contribution is made, maybe he will be promoted and replaced by him.

……

"Ah~"

When he was about to get home, a gray-haired woman suddenly walked down from the side of the street, and Gu Ming couldn't hold his feet for a while and knocked the other party to the ground.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't fall and get hurt, did you?"

Gu Ming hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"It's okay......"

The eldest lady turned over and stood up alone.

Wu ...... Wu's second sister-in-law? ”

When he saw the other party's face clearly, Gu Ming couldn't help but be surprised.

Speaking of which, Gu Ming ...... To be precise, the previous owner and this second sister-in-law Wu still have a story that has to be told.

Back then, when Wu Erniang got married, she was seventeen years old, a beautiful woman.

The original owner was only ten years old at the time, and he was a big ghost, and he said that he would marry such a beautiful woman in the future.

Later, I grew up.

Wu's second sister-in-law is also nearly thirty years old, but she is still smart, and she has more of a mature charm.

The original owner often goes to Wu's noodle shop, and every time he goes, he has to let Wu's second sister-in-law do it herself, and give him food below.

Wu's second sister-in-law was also very enthusiastic, not only did she have more portions than others, but she also added two more pieces of meat.

And that's about it, of course.

The two would occasionally exchange knowing glances, but they had never done anything courteous.

One day, the Wu family suddenly suffered a catastrophe.

Next door to the Wu family is a firm, the shopkeeper's surname is Zhou, and he is called Zhou Yuanwai.

This guy wanted to expand his business, so he discussed with the Wu family, wanted to buy the Wu family's store, and then connect it with his own store.

However, Wujia Noodle Shop is a decades-old shop, and the price of Zhou Yuan's outing is also very low, so he naturally refuses to sell it.

As a result, a dispute broke out between the two sides.

In a fit of rage, Zhou Yuanwai actually had a poisonous plan, found someone to forge a house sale contract, and sued the Wu family to the county government, saying that the Wu family accepted his money but turned his face and did not recognize Yunyun.

Qin Shou didn't know how many benefits he received, so he indiscriminately seized the Wu family's noodle shop and restricted the Wu family to move out within three days.

The Wu family was wronged by this, and they were so anxious that they asked people everywhere to help fight the lawsuit.

As a result, the previous Gu Xiucai's brain was hot, and he actually took this hot potato.

However, the Wu family may have promised to pay fifty taels of silver if they won the lawsuit.

It's a pity that the original owner underestimated Zhou Yuanwai's energy and Qin Shou's shamelessness.

Not to mention losing the lawsuit, he was bitten back, saying that he accepted the Wu family's money and helped the Wu family blackmail Zhou Yuanwai......
