In fact, the official duties of the county lieutenant are not much, most of the things are still handled by the priest and the head of the capital, and occasionally someone will hand over the pleadings, but most of them are some neighborhood disputes, Song Law follows the Tang Law, emphasizing morality but not heavy punishment, and the general lawsuit is not filed, only a few errand officers are sent to mediate, and the big thing is as small as possible.

has just taken office, socializing is inevitable, and after a meal, it is not only a link of contact, but on the other hand, it also allows Shen Ao to know a little more about Renhe County.

The third said, sure enough, someone sent a famous post over, and there were a lot of people who paid for it, such as Wang Gongzi, Ma Gongzi, Zhao Gongzi, Yu Xianggong, etc., and invited Shen Ao to go to Xichun Bridge to enjoy the light, and the post was very polite.

"What a pit!" Shen Ao took the post and smiled, but he threw it aside, called Liu Bin over, and said to him: "Send this post back, just say that Lord Ben is busy with official business, and he is not interested in talking to them about Fengyue." ”

Liu Bin said: "If you don't go, I'm afraid that you will be made fun of." ”

Shen Ao sat down and took a sip of tea for a long time, and said with a smile: "Teasing? They laugh if they like to laugh, and Lord Ben hates competitions without lottery heads the most, and tells them that if they want to invite me to go, they will take out lottery heads. ”

Liu Bin understood, and immediately took the famous post and sent it back, and in the afternoon, he turned around and came back, saying, "My lord, the scholars of Hangzhou have sent the famous post again." ”

Shen Ao looked at it, this time the attitude of the famous post was much better than that of Fang Cai, what did he say It is said that the county lieutenant is the champion of the current department, and the students want to ask the adults to teach one or two, and they will wait in the Baihualou at that time, and they are willing to give a gift of ten thousand dollars, a mansion, and redeem the name of the Baihualou Su Xiaoxiao to serve the adult.

Sure enough, he is a rich man, he is really generous, 10,000 yuan and a house are enough to make Shen Ao excited, as for what kind of name, Shen Ao is not rare, Zhen Zhen was also a name at the beginning, amazing Bianjing, he can't provoke Mingji back, and he has to be scraped off a few layers of skin when the time comes.

However, Shen Ao really wanted to see the name of Hangzhou, he took the name post, but he sent the post back again, and said to Liu Bin: "This little bit of color, Lord Ben still doesn't look at it, tell them, take out something decent." ”

Liu Bin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he hurriedly sent the name card back.

Shen Ao's move, since the geniuses in Hangzhou City, the talent exploded, this big man is very angry, not the same as the previous county lieutenants, full of confidence, said that he wants the lottery, and bargains, this tone, it seems that the lottery head is determined to win.

Hangzhou is rich and rich, not to mention those vassal and elegant businessmen and giants also love to mess with scholars and talents, everyone gets together to discuss, and they can't help but rub their hands, this county lieutenant is too arrogant, he must give him a dismount, let him know that Hangzhou's talents are not easy to mess with.

Moreover, Shen Ao is the champion of the art examination and the imperial examination, if he can humiliate him, it will be more satisfying than insulting those county lieutenants in the past; Shen Ao is known as the first genius in Bianjing, and the talents in Hangzhou are not convinced, hum, what is the first genius in the border, Hangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times, if the world's literary atmosphere is ten, Hangzhou thinks that it accounts for fifty percent, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, he is so arrogant, he must not easily rest with him.

With the heart of the same enemy, if you want to invite this county lieutenant, the Hangzhou scholars have donated generously, some of them are very rich, and this one made up a thousand yuan, and that promised three thousand yuan, firstly, these people are not bad for money, and secondly, they are also pretentious, naturally they don't care about a small champion, it is difficult to say whether Shen Ao can get this lottery.

The next time, the third name post was sent to Shen Ao's desk, Shen Ao opened it and read it, this time the name post was no longer polite, and went straight to the point, the students had prepared a lottery of 30,000 yuan, a mansion by the river, a name, and asked the county lieutenant to deign to teach.

"That's interesting!" Shen Ao smiled, put down the name post, and said to Liu Bin: "The soldiers will stop the water and flood the earth, go back and tell them that I took this post, and the Lantern Festival will definitely arrive." ”

Liu Bin immediately agreed and went to reply.

Bianjing's first genius against Hangzhou talent, this news spread far and wide, rumors flew all over the place, the gambling stall has opened a bet, Shen Ao is one to five, the scholar is three to one, it can be seen that most people have insufficient confidence in Shen Ao, not to mention that this adult has just taken office, many people are not familiar with it, that is, he is really the first talent, is the champion of the prince, Hangzhou people are also confident that Shen Ao is not the opponent of Hangzhou Shizi, it must be known that the county lieutenant is only one person, opposite him, is hundreds of Hangzhou celebrities, Shen Ao's bet is one to five, is already a gambling stall looking at Shen Ao, but I am afraid that it is also because Shen Ao is the champion of the art examination that he will not lose ten.

This news is not only widely spread in the market, but also in the officialdom, it is also quite shocked, and there are some who feel sorry for this county lieutenant who does not know the height of the sky, and there are those who look at jokes coldly, but most of them still have some expectations for Shen Ao, the officials in Hangzhou are not easy to do, and the literary style is a good thing, but the scholars are too arrogant to make people embarrassed.

The county commander Yu Bichen specially called Shen Ao to go, shook his head with a wry smile at Shen Ao, and said: "The scholars have posted it, Brother Shen is going, why make a storm in the city, hey, many people are coming to ask about this now, the two Zhejiang Road pacification envoys and the promotion division, the constitutional division, the Cao Division and the Hangzhou prefect Yamen have sent people to ask, and then I am afraid that several adults will go to the meeting, if Brother Shen can win, it will be fine, if he loses, the adults on the two Zhejiang roads are only afraid that their faces will be disgraced." ”

Liangzhejiang Road is one of the 23 roads of the Northern Song Dynasty, its administrative level is equivalent to the province of later generations, and Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan West Road are equivalent to the area of the entire Jiangnan. Among them, the most powerful of the four divisions is the pacification envoy and the Cao Si transfer envoy, the pacification envoy is equivalent to the governor, and the transport envoy is not a high-ranking official, but if it is placed in the two Zhejiang roads, the meaning is very different, because the two Zhejiang road transport envoys are in charge of the Hangzhou Manufacturing Bureau and the Suzhou Ying Feng Bureau, these two bureaus are in charge of the Hua Shi Gang and the carriage of tributes in the palace, so the two Zhejiang road transport envoys absolutely belong to the emperor's most trusted people, and have the right to dispatch the Qiantang River, the Yangtze River, and the Bianhe River along the water transport, not to mention the two Zhejiang roads, that is, Jiangnan West Road, Huainan East Road, When the transfer envoy of Hebei East Road saw him, he had to listen to his dispatch, and his status was transcendent, even if Cai Jing covered the sky with one hand back then, he would never dare to embarrass the transfer envoy.

In Bi Chen's eyes, even the pacification envoy and the transfer envoy had to come to watch the battle, and he felt a little weak in his heart, that was his boss's boss, if Shen Ao went out on a business trip and disgraced the officialdom of the entire Liangzhejiang Road, then he would suffer.

Shen Ao didn't seem to be in a hurry, and Yu Bichen choked speechless with one sentence: "My lord, the surname of the lower officials is like this, since they dare to challenge, I am not afraid of making things bigger, the rules of officialdom, the lower officials don't understand very well, and they don't know how to work for the adults to watch the battle, but well, the lower officials only believe in one sentence......" He took a sip of tea and said slowly: "If he wants to fight, I will fight!" ”

Yu Bichen had nothing to say to this young county lieutenant, and couldn't help but think in his heart, young man, is too angry, when the old man was young, he was not much better tempered than him, and sooner or later he suffered a loss, this Hangzhou scholar was the most difficult to provoke, he couldn't fight, he couldn't scold, he couldn't compose poems, he couldn't play chess, he was not their opponent, and there were many people who were masters in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Looking at Shen Ao in front of him, Yu Bichen saw his former shadow, and he felt love in his heart, so he thought: Okay, if he wants to go, it's good to go, and when he suffers a loss, maybe he can restrain his grandeur a little.

Shen Ao returned to the back office, this back office is not small, next door is the family of the county order, the place where Shen Ao lives is a separate courtyard, although it is not as good as Bianjing's new house, but it is enough to accommodate himself.

Chun'er was writing something with a pen in the wing, Shen Ao leaned over, it turned out to be a letter to Zhen Zhen and Mo'er, and there were vaguely two words on it, Shen Ao's heart suddenly burst out, coughed, and said: "My good Chun'er, when did you hear the rumors, what Hangzhou famous, I haven't heard of it." ”

Chun'er looked back and saw that it was Shen Ao coming, so she hurriedly put down her pen and stood up and said, "It's very hot outside, and you are still walking around with your boots, these official boots are thick and heavy, take them off first." He asked Shen Ao to sit down, helped Shen Ao take off his boots, and then said, "Does the husband still want to hide it from me?" I asked Li Chenglong to go out to find a shop, and there have been rumors outside for a long time, that name is Su Xiaoxiao, right? Hmph, you deliberately hide it from me, there must be a ghost. ”

Hey, even Ben Gongzi has forgotten that the name is Su Xiaoxiao, and Chun'er found out? I didn't expect her to have such a means, so she smiled and said, "You know it's nothing, it's just a joke, play with those scholars, why should you take it seriously?" It's also written in the family letter, which makes Zhen Zhen and them anxious! ”

Chun'er said with a smile: "I understand your thoughts, then I deleted that paragraph, husband, the Festival of Lights is in these two days, do you really plan to go to the appointment?" I heard that in addition to being pretentious, the scholars in Jiangnan have some ability......"

Shen Ao laughed and said, "I just want to see what they are capable of, okay, I'm hungry." ”

Since getting married, Shen Ao has become more and more lazy, the food comes to open his mouth, the clothes come to stretch out, at first I feel a little unaccustomed, and then I slowly enjoy it, Chun'er is the most diligent of the four ladies, listening to Shen Ao say this, immediately went to tell the cook to prepare dinner, and asked someone to bring a cold watermelon, cut it into small pieces and handed it over, let Shen Ao fill his stomach first.
