Qi Shu was stunned when she heard that Ji Nan was going to find her father Qi Shangshu to solve the matter of the inner house! Really?! Will her father handle the affairs of the inner house? Can it really be? How did she not know? The one who heard the most was also about her father, who was a smuggler and a little bit of an official.

In Shaoliang City, there is such a saying, if you want to say that the predecessors, the examiners, and the ones who produce the papers, who has the best writing and who has good writing, then no one can say it well. But when Qi Qin Qi Shangshu served as an examiner before, many students were really convinced, if nothing else, Qi Shangshu was really quite expected. The article has also been appreciated by His Majesty, and it is passable, not a shocking person.

But it can be said that it is a slap in the horse! Then this Qi Shangshu is really the first, at least in the reputation of the people, he is a peacemaker, he doesn't do practical things, and it is a must to please his boss! Whatever can be reaped of benefits will be done with great effort.

Therefore, Qi Shangshu in the eyes of the people is not a corrupt official, but can only be said to be a villain.

How do you know that there are more villains like this in the officialdom, Qi Qin is just doing it more obviously than others in order to climb to a higher position, but the magic is that he can pat the ass just right every time, so as not to be stumped by the horse.

Promotion and wealth all depend on coaxing, and Qi Qin and Qi Shangshu are really outstanding.

So what exactly does it look like to stand out?

If you are a little older, you should still have a little impression, and if you are younger, like Qi Shu's age, I am afraid that you will not remember what happened when you were a child.

This incident made Qi Shangshu famous in the first battle, which can be called a model in the world of flattery.

One year in the cold winter, goose feathers and heavy snow.

The snow that year was more and more dense than any previous year, and the snow flakes fell on people's faces like ice knives, and it hurt hotly, and there were countless good guys, adults and children.

The lips were frozen blue, from the cheeks to the fingers, the toes, the sides of the feet, and the heels were all frozen until they were swollen and red, purple and bleeding, and the poor people were frozen to death a lot, which was very pitiful.

The charcoal fire of the rich and noble has never been broken, and everyone is holding the hand warmer stove and hugging the brocade fox fur and not going out.

It's not easy to open a medical center, like chilblains, the ruptured ones need to be dressed, the swollen ones need to be bled with silver needles, and adults and children are so cold that they scream and cry. Countless patients have been received! Some people go out because they don't have shoes, and a family of four only has one pair of shoes, which they wear in turns, so they ask the doctor to come to the door to see, where can I see this?!

Almost all the people who were not treated died in the end, but no one knew, who would dare to say these days?

But no way, no one guessed that this year's snow was extraordinarily heavy, and when I opened the door, the snow rushed directly into the house from the outside, and the shovel couldn't get out.

I measured the thickness with my body, and it went straight past the thighs and immediately reached the waist!

I can't live this day!

The handling of production, trade, and the daily affairs of officials has all been put on hold, and it is no exaggeration to say that even the traitors are hidden in their own bedding and are reluctant to come out.

But! In this extremely harsh environment, it happened to coincide with the critical period of Qi Shangshu's promotion!

Originally, before a heavy snowfall, he had discussed with his superiors about the promotion of Qi Shangshu, but because of the heavy snow, it was temporarily shelved.

The court is like a battlefield, and the changes are in an instant! If the snow stops and melts, and the superiors change their minds, then Qi Shangshu will almost have to be buried in the ground! As everyone knows, at this time, promotion and wealth are as important to Qi Qin as the root of life!

He's going to be promoted! He wants to get rich! He is eager to soar!

No, you must find a way to consolidate the belief of your superiors, otherwise if you change the promise, who will you talk to? It's hard to make a few outstanding political achievements, how can you not seize this opportunity to climb up?!

So, Qi Shangshu, who had this mentality, finally decided to make a move.

It's hard enough to get the message through because you can't get out! Therefore, Qi Shangshu wrote an enthusiastic letter in a hurry, the content of which was to invite his superiors to come to Qi Mansion for a banquet! It will be about three days later.

At that time, Qi Mansion was still in the city, and it happened to be two alleys away from the superiors, and the pigeons that came and went to the superior's house had already been trained by Qi Qin.

Dinner?! At that time, Qi Qin was not Qi Shangshu, just a small seven-rank official, and his superior, Lord Zhao, was in charge of supervising Qi Qin at that time, so he naturally understood what he was thinking about Qi Qin's invitation.

After a slight hesitation, he began to write a reply.

Roughly speaking, Qi Qin's kindness is understood by him, there is no need to be too extravagant and wasteful, the road is slippery on a snowy day, as for the things that Qi Qin cares about, if he hugs him, he will definitely do it, and he will not miss the appointment.

After Qi Qin received the reply, his heart was a little settled, but he was still a little hesitant, uneasy, thinking about it, and wrote an enthusiastic letter to Lord Zhao, and the polite words were really sour!

But there was no way, in order to show his closeness, he still insisted on inviting Lord Zhao to go to the Qi Mansion for a banquet two days later!

Lord Zhao, who received the letter again, frowned a little, didn't Qi Qin know what kind of road conditions were outside? Must you force him to go to the feast? He thought that Qi Qin on weekdays was not so rude?!

Helpless, I endured my doubts and replied to the letter again, politely declined Qi Qin's kindness, and at the end of the letter, I was a little distressed about the pigeons, what are you doing tossing the pigeons back and forth on such a cold day?!

However, Lord Zhao, who thought that he would not receive a reply, received a reply on the morning of the third day, asking him to go to the Qi Mansion for a banquet that day!

Now, Lord Zhao is really angry! I can't wait to hold Qi Qin's head and let him take a good look at what is going on outside!

"This Qi Qin! Alas! Lord Zhao drank several mouthfuls of porridge, the weather was cold, the porridge was cold quickly, this millet porridge was very delicious, but today I felt a little bitter and dry in my mouth, not like the previous taste, I don't know if it was his feeling, or because he was ruined by Qi Qin's letter, he didn't even feel good about eating.

"What's wrong, sir?" Lord Zhao's wife looked at him nervously, and suddenly mentioned what that subordinate was doing? She had the impression that Qi Qin seemed to be not bad, if the mistake was not serious, then she would help him say a few good words.

"Madame, you don't know! This Qi Qin doesn't know if it's crazy or real! Invite me to a banquet for three days in a row! Today is the third day, no, it's letter again! Zhao Da angrily threw the letter on the dining table and said with a headache.

"This? This won't be, Qi Qin doesn't look like a person who does such a thing. Madame also said with some puzzlement.

"Who isn't, I think so too!"

"Could it be some misunderstanding, a mistake?"

"No, I recognize Qi Qin's words, and they are clearly his words, and they are also his habitual sentence usage." Lord Zhao denied Madame's speculation.

Now the lady is also a little confused, if this is not, it is really hard to say!

"Daddy! Daddy! ”

A crisp child's voice sounded outside the door, and a half-old child stumbled in, with two horns on his head, very cute.

"Hey!" Lord Zhao happily responded! This is his youngest child, a very distressed, beautiful little girl.

"Daddy, Daddy, you come with me!" Mi'er walked to Lord Zhao's side and took the corner of his clothes and wanted to take him away, but it was so hard that Mr. Zhao couldn't, so he had to get up and follow Mi'er out, not knowing where she was going to take him.

Seeing this, Mrs. hurriedly asked someone to fetch a big coat, it was freezing outside, how could I not wear more clothes and bring a little warmth?

The snow in the courtyard has been swept away, and except for the one outside the gate, no one in the house has dared to go out so far.

Mi'er took his hand and led him all the way to the gate.

I saw a bunch of people standing at the gate of my house from afar, I don't know why, I just thought that something was happening and they were watching, Lord Zhao wanted to teach those people a lesson in the past, and they were all blocked at the gate.

But when he got closer, he realized that things were not simple.

In such a group of people, he actually saw a familiar figure, dressed in an official robe below his rank.

Qi Qin!!

How could he be here?! That's not right! The snow outside is so deep, although it is said that the snow has stopped, but the two of them are separated by two alleys, how can they come over?

"Lord Zhao?!" Qi Qin's eyes were sharp, and he immediately found Lord Zhao standing there with a little girl in his hands, looking at him in a daze.

Qi Qin bowed his hand and saluted.

Lord Zhao also returned the salute in amazement.

It wasn't until later when Mrs. Zhao came over to put on Lord Zhao that she reacted. Seeing Qi Qin standing in front of the gate was also incredible, wouldn't it, it was really Qi Qin?!

"Madame! It's me! Qi Qin saw the thoughts written on Mrs. Zhao's face, and replied with a polite smile.

Mi'er tugged at Lord Zhao's sleeve and motioned for Lord Zhao to go forward, Lord Zhao raised his foot and followed, and their direction was exactly where Qi Qin was.

Until he stepped on the steps, the scene outside the wide open door was shocking!

Outside the door, about seven or eight of the housekeepers were still shoveling the snow, shoveling the snow to both sides, and two other were laying the same kind of coarse sacks of grain, which were laid on the slippery ground that had been shoveled away, and the sacks were dry.

"This, this?! You shoveled a way?! Lord Zhao looked at Qi Qin incredulously and said.

How is that possible?! The distance between two alleys! How can it be!

"My lord, my subordinates invited you to the appointment today, and it must be a promise to keep! I will also enjoy the light to you! The house has prepared a thin banquet noodles, please! Qi Qin's hands were red, and the snow shovel next to him made everyone aware that Qi Qin personally led his subordinates to shovel the snow together.

It turns out that this person has been shoveling snow for the past three days! It's just been shoveled!

No wonder the family members are all watching outside. Oh my God, half-human snow, these people are not enough day and night! Or has it been dug in advance?

In fact, Qi Qin did start digging a few days ago, but he didn't think about which one to invite, and when he decided to invite Lord Zhao, the direction had already been adjusted.

As for seven or eight people plus Qi Qin, it is indeed impossible to shovel snow day and night, black and white. However, as the saying goes: each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, who cares about the frost on the tiles of others?

Qi Qin himself also thought carefully, showing a tired appearance when sweeping to which house, signaling that his Qi family would sweep here enough, so he didn't want to sweep forward, some people consciously came out to help, and wherever they swept, Qi Qin also paid a part of the money, so that some people worked harder.

In this way, while bringing out money and strength, the two lanes were shoveled out.

Later, when this matter was mentioned at the dinner table, Lord Zhao shook his head and felt that Qi Qin was really too desperate, such a cold day could actually endure the cold and shovel snow outside, if he waited for the snow to melt by itself, it was basically impossible for the winter to pass.

And Qi Qin said humbly that he must do what he promised, which is a manifestation of honesty and promise. For this reason, Lord Zhao praised Qi Qin again and again, and felt that this person was a loyal and trustworthy person.

At that time, Qi Qin's kung fu was still evolving, and there were no big mistakes, and he was clever enough to keep his promises, which won the admiration of a large number of people, so that he was promoted several levels later, and his official rank even surpassed that of Lord Zhao, but that was later.

When Qi Qin feasted on Lord Zhao's family with all his wishes, he personally sent people back at the end.

The road was not buried by the intermittent snow, and their families consciously maintained the cleanliness in front of the door, and many people took the initiative to help the neighbors clear the snow.

Later, the entire Shaoliang City started from the two lanes dug by Qi Qin, gradually expanded the scope, and gradually cleared more snow, and the treated snow was either poured into the river and melted with the water, or some were put into their own wells, and later opened up a snow road leading to the outside of the city, transporting the snow in the city.

The officers and soldiers were finally liberated from the government and began to operate.

I have to say that Qi Qin's move has brought a chain effect, and everyone has followed suit, and it is even more admirable to learn that Qi Qin is keeping his promise. He was called a role model at the time.

It's just that it became a classic example of sycophancy later, which is unknown......
