Volume 3: Tempered into Steel Chapter 154: It's not easy for me

Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong

It's been two months since he came here, and Li Xian, a northerner, has gradually adapted to the water and soil in the south, but he still can't say that he has stayed in the south without experiencing the rainy days.

is not as happy as Zhu Qizhen's kiln in Beijing, Li Xian is much more difficult here, although there are officials selected by the Ministry of Officials, but compared to the huge shortage of personnel, there is still a sense of a drop in the bucket after replenishment.

These cronies who were appointed by the emperor on the spot naturally had to do everything with all their hearts, and over time, some of them only did "their own" things, and they naturally kept busy.

There are bad and good, and the reason why they are so tired is also related to how quickly they rise.

Li Xian tried to participate in politics from the third grade from the fifth rank of the minister, and the merchant made up for the lack of senators, both of them jumped two levels in a row, how could they not attract people's eyes?

As for Zeng Hui and Yin Bo, now one is an envoy and the other is a leftist politician, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as Geng Jiuchou is gone, then these two are likely to be the new feudal officials of Guangdong.

"Don't do it, I'm going to find Yu Fan Gong to comment, the new school of people has a vegetarian meal, and they just come to order on time all day long, and we will be tired to death?

is also doing things for the court, taking the emperor's money, why don't they do it? Shang Shi threw away the official document in his hand with a bang, and his face was indignant.

Li Xian and the two of them worked together, and they could only stop their work when they saw this.

"Hongzai, don't worry, the emperor left us here to trust, you go to Yu Fan Gong now, not only will it not help, all our previous efforts may be overturned, why fight with them?" Li Xian persuaded.

"It's not that I can't, me! Ay! The merchant's face was full of righteous indignation, but he was silent as he spoke, and sat back heavily, holding the official document in his hand, but he didn't know the words in his hand.

Li Xian is still angry in his heart, how can he not understand Shang Chen's mood, but now he can do nothing but grit his teeth and insist?

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and it was already past the time to end the shift, Li Xian took a deep breath and got up, and wanted to pull the merchant to go with him without getting drunk and not returning.

"My brother Hongzai, I know you have anger in your heart, I'm not made of wood, I can't bear it for so long, now let's go, I can't go straight today!" Li Xian stood beside Shang and said.

Shang Zhen looked at Li Xian repeatedly, followed the official document in his hand, and then said: "Don't laugh Brother Yuan De, you look at the thick official document, we will be a bunch tomorrow when we leave."

Today is tomorrow, tomorrow is what

And so much more! I'm just whining, I'm going to go back and get some sleep when I'm done, and tomorrow is another new (full of energy) day. ”

"Hey, Hongzai, you ......"

"Hongzai, you can't do this, a combination of work and rest, if you don't exhaust yourself like this, you have to break down your mentality." Geng Jiuchou suddenly appeared at the door.

"Yu Fan Gong!" The two saluted together.

"Let's go, today the old man is the east, he doesn't talk about political affairs, he only talks about the world, and he will talk about everything tomorrow."

"But this matter is not done yet, and my subordinates are afraid of ......" Shang Chen was still a little worried.

"Afraid of what? The old man has already ordered someone to call the scattered people back, although I am a probationary political envoy, but now I am also their top boss, why do you have to give me three points of thin noodles? Geng Jiuchou said with a glare.

Shang Zhen wanted to speak again, but Li Xian had already begun to drag him away, and said as he walked: "With Yufan Gong as a guarantee, you are still not at ease?" Hurry up, I still want to drink a little more, and finally seize the opportunity to eat Geng Gong hard. ”

"I said you're a Yuande, and you've been waiting to kill me for a long time?" Geng Jiuchou laughed loudly, and had already turned around and walked towards the yamen.

"Hey, Yu Fan Gong, aren't you the east? Why are you still going back? Li Xian said badly, so he hurriedly asked.

Geng Jiuchou showed no signs of stopping, and his voice came back: "I'll be the east, have a good drink in the yamen, and it will be convenient to continue working tomorrow!"

Don't worry, today, the chef invited from outside specially explained that he wanted to make northern dishes to ensure that you eat well. ”

Li Xian and Shang Zhen glanced at each other, both pouting, thinking that they were going to eat in a big restaurant outside, but they didn't expect that they still couldn't get out of the yamen of the political envoy.

said that he was an invited chef, but Geng Jiuchou is recognized as thrifty, who knows where to find the little guy?

When they came to the back garden, Zeng Hui, Yin Bo, and Wang Hong had already arrived, and when they saw the three of them coming, they all got up to greet them, and everyone sat down to greet them, but they didn't serve the food for a long time.

"General Dong should be coming soon, everyone should be restless." Geng Jiuchou said a word of reassurance.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Dong Xing's voice came from afar.

"Haha, I've been waiting for Brother Yu Fan for a long time! I'm sorry. Dong Xing's voice was like a bell, followed by Meng Jian and Ma Shi.

"We have just finished our work, and this dish is not good, but we have neglected the general." Geng Jiuchou smiled.

But as soon as Dong Xing and the three of them sat down, the dishes were served straight to the dishes in turn, obviously early

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It's ready.

"Oops, let Brother Yu Fan bother!" Dong Xing looked at the plates of frying, cooking, heavy oil and heavy dishes, and couldn't help but move his appetite.

"Although there are many Cantonese delicacies, but after a long time, I always want to think about the taste of Jingshi, the chef specially invited today, don't be polite, let's drink this cup!"

Everyone's wine glasses were raised high, and they touched each other in a staggered manner, and the wine table was full of aroma for a while.

"Please!" Geng Jiuchou was not polite, reached out and took a piece of roast lamb chops and began to gnaw.

The rest of the people saw that the master's family was so arrogant, so they naturally wouldn't cheat, and it didn't look like a gathering of officials and lords for a while, but it was not much different from the people in the market.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, it is said that it is not about business, but the topic is inseparable from this circle.

"If you want to talk about these three divisions, now we are all commanding the envoys to be the most difficult to manage, hey Lord Zeng, I know you definitely want to refute, you listen to me first." Dong Xing spoke with a sense of wine.

Zeng Hui had no choice but to give up when he heard this, and everyone at the wine table stopped their chopsticks one after another, waiting for the general's high opinion.

"Brother Geng, don't mention anything else, is it just that we are all in command of the envoys, and we have not appointed the vacant generals so far?" Dong Xing looked around and asked Geng Jiuchou.

"General Dong, you're a little drunk, and you and I should talk about the appointment of the imperial court?" Geng Jiuchou reminded.

Ma Shi beside Dong Xing pulled the corners of his clothes again and again, but he couldn't stop Dong Xing from speaking.

"That's not going to happen, I'll just say that there are too many things in the army, your brother was originally a squire in the military department, and naturally he also knows my difficulties, people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead." Dong Xing said, and as soon as he raised his neck, it was a pot of wine.

At this time, even Meng Jian couldn't look at it, and said half-jokingly: "Why does General Dong think I'm disobedient?" ”

Dong Xing's movements were obvious, he seemed to be much more sober, and then took a pot of wine and drank it dry.

"Counselor Meng has wronged my old Dong if he said this, I don't want to say anything else, if I really have an opinion about you, then we can't sit at the same table.

But I'm a person who likes to talk nonsense when I drink alcohol, and I just talked nonsense, so that everyone can laugh and laugh! After Dong Xing finished speaking, he drank another pot of wine.

But this atmosphere has become delicate, and it is not easy for others to talk to for a while.

Geng Jiuchou saw that it was a little cold, and he couldn't end it in embarrassment, so he hurriedly ordered: "Is the roast suckling pig ready?" The dishes are almost finished by General Dong, serve them quickly! ”

Dong Xing led the smile, everything was silent.
