There is also the kid from the Gu family, who didn't expect to come to Jing County, but he also had a little incense, and he reminded him by the way.

Just mentioning this sentence is already the limit of Imperial Doctor Du, and he will never speak again after speaking.

waited until Lu Wen and others came to invite Imperial Doctor Du upstairs, and the three of them only drank tea silently, did not speak, and did not feel embarrassed.

The person who came down to invite Imperial Doctor Du looked at An Huahao and Gu Zikai and didn't ask much.

went upstairs and listened to Lu Wenguang's words, Imperial Doctor Du didn't say anything, but now that he has returned to his hometown, the person in front of him is both a county official and a current manager, but it is not an exaggeration to ask a few words about temper and temperament.

In the future, when there is a need for this county master, the relationship cannot be stiffened.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Imperial Physician Du picked out what he could say and said a few words before he spoke, only saying that he didn't have much friendship with them, and he knew so much.

It is only said that Governor Chen has a sparse personality and is not informal, although he was born as a scholar, he is chivalrous.

And Zhu Haoran has always been kind and rarely has bad relations with others.

Although it was only a few words, Lu Wenguang had a bottom in his heart, and he was not so panicked. A group of people waited by the dock at dawn in the morning, and they didn't eat breakfast.

I only ate some snacks with tea in the teahouse, and when I saw noon, I drank pot after pot of tea, and the thatched house ran several times, and the stomach became more and more out of stock.

The more I drink tea, the more hungry I feel, and everyone is a little unbearable.

But no one dared to mention the matter of eating, so he only prayed in his heart that the two adults would come soon.

Until midday, there was a commotion on the dockside, and the officials who had been paying attention to the ships coming and going on the river hurriedly came to report: "Lord Qiqi, there are two official ships on the river——"

When Lu Wenguang heard this, he threw away the tea cup in his hand, tidied up his official uniform, and ran downstairs with his legs.

When I got to the dock, sure enough, there was an official ship from the east and the west, and these two adults met together?

The two official ships also spotted each other, and after the boatman in the bow waved the flag, the ship coming from the west sped up.

After a while, they docked at the edge of the dock, and after docking, a group of armored guards disembarked from the ship and surrounded the dock.

The officials of Jing County, seeing these guards, honestly stepped back and gave up their important positions.

Then, a man in a vermilion three-grade official robe paced out of the cabin.

It was Zhu Haoran.

Lu Wenguang led a group of people to wait, and bowed their heads.

With a warm smile on his face, Zhu Haoran took two steps forward and reached out to hold Lu Wenguang's hand: "Brother Lu is polite!" ”

Although Lu Wenguang heard Imperial Doctor Du say that Zhu Haoran was kind, he didn't think of such a kindness, and he was called a brother and a brother when he opened his mouth, and he was flattered for a while, and he didn't even dare to say that he wanted to give Zhu Haoran a salute and introduce his entourage.

Zhu Haoran raised his hand lightly: "Brother Lu, you're not busy." And follow me to greet Chen Da first

People—"

Only then did Lu Wenguang realize that there was a big Buddha on the river! This is exactly what I forgot about when I saw Zhu Haoran for a while.

With an embarrassed face, he agreed, followed behind Zhu Haoran, and didn't dare to say more.

After seeing Zhu Haoran's boat speeding up and approaching the shore, Governor Chen's boat sailed over unhurriedly and docked on the shore.

It was a team of guards who came down first, and they were about to surround the dock, but they saw Zhu Shilang's guards, and when they saw the armor on their bodies, they were dressed like Yulinwei in Beijing, and they were stunned for a while.

Zhu Haoran saw the opportunity quickly, and with a wave of his hand, the guards on his side let out half of the dock in an uproar.

Governor Chen's chief of guard waved his hand and asked his subordinates to fill the vacant slots.

At that time, the cabin door opened, and a middle-aged man with a long body and clear eyebrows walked out, not wearing an official uniform, but a robe with dark purple flowers, and when he didn't smile, there was only a majestic aura between his eyebrows.

Zhu Haoran took three steps forward first: "Xiaguan see Lord Chen!" ”

Lu Wenguang and the others also bowed their heads and bowed in the back, and shouted unevenly: "See Lord Chen!" ”

Governor Chen saw Zhu Haoran at a glance, and immediately took two steps forward, lightly holding Zhu Haoran's arm, and his tone revealed a bit of affection and resentment: "Brother Zhu, aren't you going to see the outside?" Do we still need such an identity between us? Don't you see me in casual clothes today? Today, let's only talk about personal relationships, not about business! Finally, I came to Jing County to relax for two or three days, don't make me uncomfortable! ”

Lu Wenguang was shocked, listening to this, Governor Chen and Zhu Shilang seem to have a good relationship?

Zhu Haoran also smiled: "Since this is the case, then it is better for the lower officials to be respectful and obey their orders!" "It's a joke.

The two exchanged two more words, and Zhu Haoran seemed to realize that there were still others present.

smiled: "Look at us, we haven't seen each other for many days, and we have said a few more words, but we have forgotten, and there is still a group of people waiting." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and introduced to Governor Chen: "This is Lu Wenguang, the county commander of Jing County, Lord Lu!" ”

Lu Wenguang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and the people behind him also hurriedly followed suit.

The smile on Governor Chen's face subsided a little and nodded.

Lu Wenguang was heart-picked, and only gave a brief introduction to the deployment, focusing on the dean of Evergreen Academy and the master of Baiyun Academy, who originally planned to introduce Imperial Physician Du, but when he turned his head to look, Imperial Physician Du didn't know that he was cowering in that corner, and he didn't even see it for a while, so forget it.

Governor Chen looked at the dean of Evergreen Academy, but his face was a little kinder, and he took the initiative to ask a few words.

I also looked at the students who followed the dean of Evergreen Academy a little more, and praised a few words of youth and promising.

Zhu Haoran took a step behind, and also looked along the line of sight, and when he saw An Huahao, his eyes were stunned, but he quickly returned to normal.

After greeting for a while, it was noon at the moment, and the sun was shining, so Lu Wenguang hurriedly invited the two adults to the arranged accommodation to rest

。

The two courtyards arranged are only one street apart, very quiet, except for a few servants who clean, and a few maids who serve tea and pour water, there is no one else.

Finally settled the two big Buddhas, Lu Wenguang was very eye-catching, and only said that the two adults would rest a little and wash the dust in the evening.

On the other hand, people arranged that from the best restaurant, the finished luncheon was sent to the two courtyards.

Zhu Haoran washed up, changed into homely civilian clothes, and staggered towards the courtyard where Governor Chen stayed.

Governor Chen also seemed to have already ordered him, and when he saw Zhu Haoran, someone invited him in.

Zhu Haoran entered the courtyard, and in the hall, Governor Chen also changed his clothes, was drinking tea, saw him coming, and didn't see outside, pointing to the opposite position and asking him to sit down.

He also asked for food to be served, and the two of them talked while eating.

"Do you have a clue about what the Holy Lord asked the two of us to do this time?" When Governor Chen mentioned the errand, his face was suddenly full of sadness.

Zhu Haoran smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine: "Decades ago, people died at the beginning and scattered, and now people are looking for it, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack?" ”

Governor Chen took a sip of a glass and sighed: "That can't be helped, the saint was forced to do so, in order to protect himself, he had to stand by and watch, otherwise I am afraid that even the saint will have to fold inside." Now that the saint is finally in power, looking back on the beginning, I can't sleep at night. This is also the saint's trust in us, so he handed it over to us, if it is messed up, how to explain it to the saint? ”

Zhu Haoran smiled bitterly and was silent.

Anyone can tell the truth, but it's really their turn to know that it's been decades since this happened, what should I do?

Besides, I am a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and not a waiter in the Criminal Department, why do I always let myself do the things of the Criminal Department?

These words can only be buried in the heart, and not half a sentence can be confided.

On the face, I have to be grateful for the trust of the saint, not trust him as a confidant, and he will not let himself come out to do this private matter.

Governor Chen didn't know anything, but he knew a little more, and he knew how important this matter was to the Holy Lord, and if it was really done, he couldn't say that he could get one step closer.

After only two sighs, the two returned to normal, and by the way, they discussed how to cooperate with each other. In the evening, Lu Wenguang personally invited the two Buddhas to the best restaurant in the city, which had been chartered.

The largest private room upstairs was already ready for a reception, and the private room next to it and the hall downstairs were also full of people waiting.

These waiting people finally sent the two adults back to their lodgings at noon, hurriedly went back to take a shower, changed their clothes, dealt with two more mouthfuls, and waited here at the restaurant.

An Huahao and Gu Zikai went home to change their clothes, Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Zhang had already prepared food, I heard that the two of them had been a little bit of a stomach since the morning, and they were so hungry that they had long since died.

It's distressing and funny.

Gu Zikai is better, Mrs. Li

I have experience in this area, and I have already prepared a clean purse with beef jerky and the like, and I am really hungry, and I can eat two pieces for a while.

But An Huahao is still guarding filial piety, so he can only resist.

came back and killed eight pancakes in one go at noon, so that Mrs. Zhang was busy asking Mrs. Ding to boil hawthorn water to drink, afraid that An Huahao would hold on.

Then I asked Mrs. Ding to cut the bun into small dices, use a little oil, and then roast it carefully until it is brown and crispy, wrap it in a clean lotus wrap, and bring it to An Huahao.

When he was really hungry, he touched a piece and ate it, small and inconspicuous, and tasteless.

Gu Zikai was envious, although he had the jerky prepared by Mrs. Li, it was tasteless compared to this roasted bun.

When they arrived at the restaurant, with their identity, they could only sit in the hall.

Finally, when it was dark, Lu Wenguang and the two Buddhas entered the restaurant and went upstairs to the private room.

I could only faintly hear the sound of speech above, but I couldn't hear what was being said.

The people in the hall below, even though the dishes on the table were rich and fragrant, no one dared to eat it.

They all pinched their chopsticks one by one, held wine glasses, and pricked up their ears to listen to the movement upstairs.

Only Imperial Physician Du found a place in the corner of the restaurant as usual, and when the dishes were ready, he didn't care about others, picked up the chopsticks and buried himself in eating.

The people at the same table couldn't help but look sideways, but when they remembered that the county magistrate invited him upstairs during the day today, they guessed that his identity was extraordinary, and they endured it in the end.

It's just that he eats like this, and people look at it, no one can stand it, and there are several young people who lack concentration, so they can't help but swallow their saliva several times.

Originally, it was just a trivial matter, but it could be seen by the people of Baiyun Academy, but today, when the county magistrate introduced it, he focused on introducing the dean of Evergreen Academy, and they Baiyun Academy just passed by.

Governor Chen chatted with the dean of Evergreen College for a long time, and also praised the students of Evergreen College.

And the master of Baiyun Academy laughed for a long time, just waiting for the county master to introduce himself, and then he could say a few words to the governor.

Unexpectedly, the county master only mentioned one sentence slightly, and there was no more than half a sentence.

I don't want to think about it, but their Baiyun Academy was personally appointed by Governor Chen, which is too disrespectful to them, right?

The master could still keep a smiling face in front of Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran, and his face sank when he waited.

The other students of Baiyun Academy did not get the praise of Governor Chen, and naturally they were not happy, but they only felt that Jing County was hateful all over the county.

It was rare to see Imperial Physician Du's performance at this moment, and he immediately sneered in a low voice: "It is said that Jing County is the hometown of etiquette, and there has been Evergreen Academy for so many years, I didn't expect that there are such people who don't understand etiquette, and I don't look at what kind of occasion this is?" Isn't this a snub to the governor and the squire? ”

"I didn't expect this kind of person to be invited here! It's just shame

In the same room! ”

"You guys are also quiet, looking at how old people are, I think I haven't eaten these dishes on weekdays, can't I help it? It's just a country man, so why bother with him! ”

……

The people of Jing County looked hard when they heard this, not to mention that Imperial Doctor Du was invited upstairs by the county master today, and his identity was mysterious.

Let's just say that Mrs. Du is a native of Jing County, his own people, when will it be the turn of a few stinky boys from Baiyun Academy to make a big statement on the land of Jing County?

Immediately someone stood up and said, "How are you talking?" ”

Upstairs, Lu Wenguang sat on pins and needles.

The two Shangguan had a kind attitude, which made people feel like a spring breeze, but somehow, Lu Wenguang felt that something was wrong.

Especially the two big Buddhas, saying that they asked some about the customs of Jing County, and asked some about whether Jing County has had any talents over the years.

At first, Lu Wenguang was honest, thinking that Shangguan just wanted to understand Jing County, so he would talk about some local characteristics and customs.

But later, I felt a little strange, listening to the meaning of the two officials, Zhu Shilang was discharged from the hospital in Changqing on an errand, and Governor Chen stopped by to rest in Jing County for two days.

But the two of them seemed to be very interested in Jingxian, and Lu Wenguang was extremely uneasy in his heart when he asked, and while answering, he was trying to figure out the true meaning of the two Buddhas.

Could it be that something happened in Jingxian County? Do you want to labor the two Buddhas to come in person?

Thinking back to the turmoil that happened in Qicheng a few months ago, Lu Wenguang's back immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He barely managed to maintain his composure.

At this moment, I heard movement downstairs, which was not small.

Hurriedly ordered: "Go down and see, what's going on?" "On the other hand, it is not to compensate the two of them.

Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran waved their hands and didn't mind, and they also stopped asking questions for the time being, and listened to the following movements.

Zhu Haoran seemed to hear a familiar voice, and suddenly had a hint of interest, and before anyone could come up, he spoke: "It sounds more lively than our house, why don't we go down and sit down?" ”

Governor Chen knew that this Zhu Haoran looked gentle and amiable, and he was the most cautious, and he didn't say a word casually.

Since he said he was going downstairs, there must be something.

Immediately nodded: "That's what I said, let's just sit on it, but we can't have fun together." ”

With that, the two of them got up and wanted to go downstairs to find out.

Lu Wenguang opened his mouth to stop him, but when the words came to his mouth, he endured it, and when he saw that the two officials had gone downstairs, he was also busy following behind.

The guests at the same table, as well as the people in the private room next door, had been listening to the movement here, and when they saw the two adults going downstairs, they were also busy following behind.

When I went downstairs, I heard that the students of Baiyun Academy and the young students from Jing County had already quarreled.

Both sides are fighting for each other, if it weren't for An Huahao and Gu Zikai, and a few old and serious people in the middle, they would not have to ask for it

Fights began.

However, Imperial Doctor Du, who caused the two sides to scold each other, was still sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, drinking small wine, eating side dishes, and leisurely.

Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran came downstairs, and the first thing they saw was Imperial Doctor Du, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly stepped forward: "Imperial Doctor Du, I have long heard that your old man has returned to his hometown, and it turns out that your old man's ancestral home is in Jing County?" How do you drink alone in this corner? I knew that your old man was here, so why should I invite you to go up and have a drink! Only then did Imperial Physician Du stand up lazily and salute the two of them: "The old man has long been told to return to his hometown, where can he afford the invitation of the two adults?" Shame on old decay too! ”

said that he couldn't afford it, and he was ashamed, but his attitude was not enough.

The people next to him were stunned, but they didn't expect that this unattractive and eccentric old man was actually a doctor who returned to his hometown?

Looking at Governor Chen and Zhu Shilang actually took the initiative to say hello, the old man still likes to ignore it, and you know that this old man is probably still a big man that everyone underestimates.

Even Lu Wenguang was busy reviewing in his heart after seeing it, was his attitude towards Imperial Doctor Du not respectful enough? I used to think that although he was returning to his hometown, after all, he was once a person by the emperor's side, not to mention that his son was still a doctor in the hospital, so he couldn't be offended.

But looking at the attitudes of the two Shangguan today, I'm afraid that this imperial doctor is only afraid that it will be more powerful than he imagined.

Fortunately, he has always been respectful and has not been rude.

Thinking like this, Lu Wenguang breathed a sigh of relief, but the people of Baiyun Academy were dumbfounded.

They thought they were just old men who came to eat and drink, and even if they had some status, they couldn't do anything with them.

I never thought that it was actually a doctor?

A few students' faces turned pale, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

When Zhu Haoran heard this, he smiled and took advantage of the situation to sit at Imperial Doctor Du's table: "Old Du, don't you want to shame me and Master Chen when you say this?" It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, today I will accompany you to have two drinks and make amends to your old man? ”

It turned out to be a tone of begging for mercy.
