The fast horse rushed into the city, stopped directly in front of the mansion, and the dusty rider turned over and dismounted, and said in a loud voice: "The Su family has a letter, looking for you Taishou Lord!" ”

When the guards heard this, they naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went in to spread the word, and then quickly ran back.

"Unfortunately, our county guard has already gone out, if the envoy doesn't wait in the city, leave a place, and when the county guard returns, I will tell you immediately."

The messenger didn't realize the seriousness of the problem and nodded, "Okay, I'll be staying at the biggest inn in the city, and you adults will help me get the word out as soon as you come back." ”

"Good! Please rest assured! ”

The two exchanged a salute, and the messenger led the horse away.

In a tea shop on the side, the messenger who had also come to report the news silently watched the Su family messenger leave, smiled proudly, drank all the tea in the cup, patted a few copper coins, untied the reins, turned over on the horse, and rushed out of Qingshan County.

——

"Ahead is Qingshan County, let's rest for a while, and then go straight to the city. No problem, right? ”

In the pavilion of the official road more than 20 miles away from Qingshan County, Bai Yunbian said to Xia Jingyun.

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Bai Gongzi makes his own decision, and I will listen to your arrangement." ”

Bai Yunbian was also stunned, yes, why should I ask for his opinion?

The protagonist's consciousness awakened, he quietly straightened his back, and said lightly: "This son's trip is to increase his knowledge, understand people's livelihood, study government affairs, and my father has a very good relationship with Lord Shousu of Qingshan County, and he has already repaired the book in advance. ”

He looked at Xia Jingyun, "When I get to Qingshan County later, I will go with my son to see it for a long time, and I will help my son in the future." ”

Of course, Xia Jingyun's temperament didn't care about this little emotion, and he smiled and arched his hand, "Bai Gongzi is kind, Bai Gongzi is noble!" ”

Bai Yunbian waved his hand with a look of relief, "Some small things are not worth mentioning. ”

Xia Jingyun said curiously: "Bai Gongzi, I heard you say before, most of the officials in this state are unbearable, what is special about this Qingshan County Guard, it is worth your personal visit?" ”

Bai Yunbian stood with his hands in his hands, with an attitude of pointing at the country, "This Lord Su can be different from the incompetent people of the rest of the corpse vegetarian meal, although he is from the Su family, but he is not a descendant, he is really relying on his own talent to learn to fight for fame, the imperial examination was the first place in the second class, if it were not for the fact that Su Lao Xiang is still in power, in order to avoid suspicion, I am afraid that he can enter the first class." ”

"First in Hanlin, he and his father knew each other, and his ability was quite outstanding. Do you see that this Qingshan County is much more peaceful than the rest of the place? I am not weaker than others in the way of scripture and poetry, but for the money and food of officials, taxes, anti-theft, and the art of reassuring the people, I also need to ask for a lesson or two from such figures, otherwise how to achieve great achievements in the future! ”

Xia Jingyun knew it in his heart, and for the sake of being able to follow the white clouds to rub this meeting, he gave a thumbs up, "Bai Gongzi takes precautions, prepares early, and will definitely be able to do something in the future!" ”

Bai Yunbian looked right.

After a short rest, the people who had already changed the carriage re-boarded the carriage and headed towards Qingshan County.

Around the end of the evening, they arrived at Castle Peak County.

Along the way, Xia Jingyun also took a look and found that this Qingshan County was indeed well governed, although within the jurisdiction, the people were still not much rich, but it was a systemic problem of the entire imperial court, not a county that could be changed, but the overall law and order was very good, and the people also had a stable smile on their faces, and there was a vague sense of prosperity.

This made him look forward to the meeting in the evening.

Entering the court as an official, of course he has no shortage of intrigue and deceitful skills, and he also has a big killer with a golden finger, although it will make him a little weaker, but it also makes him worthy of anyone;

But as a soul who grew up under the red flag, deep down in his heart, he still has the idea of benefiting one party for the sake of the official, and being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, and these skills can only rely on watching and learning more.

The group first picked an inn in the city to stay, and then Xia Jingyun picked up a little with Baiyunbian and walked out of the inn.

Walking to the gate of the state office, Bai Yun stepped forward and handed over a letter, "This son has an appointment with Master Su and is here to visit." ”

The official saw that the two of them were dressed up, and he didn't dare to slack off, "The two sons, please wait, and the younger one will go and pass it on." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly rushed in, and soon, a middle-aged scribe walked out quickly, his eyes swept over the two of them, and he resolutely arched his hand towards Xia Jingyun and said: "Oh, I have heard the name of Bai Gongzi for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really Yushu Linfeng, with a peerless appearance, worthy of being the first son in my cloud dream!" ”

Bai Yunbian's face darkened, Xia Jingyun coughed awkwardly and took a step back to the side.

The scribe was stunned, and his smile instantly floated again, "Oh, it's not that the old man is clumsy, it's really the introverted temperament of the white prince, and he has reached the realm of great ingenuity and unpretentiousness, which is not much better than the noble son of the prince of the generation!" Shame shame shame! ”

Bai Yunbian tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Uncle Su Shi is here?" ”

"Yes, yes! Today's noon party, the two sons came just right, if they come early, I'm afraid they will have to wait. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to take it, "Two sons, come here, please, the adults are waiting inside." ”

Following the man in, Bai Yunbian whispered: "Let me tell you in advance, this Lord Su has always been diligent in government affairs, and he won't see us for long, not intentionally neglected, you have to know first, don't be dissatisfied with him at that time." ”

Don't doubt your abilities.

Xia Jingyun muttered in his heart and nodded, workaholic, understand.

"Also, think about the questions yourself, and I'll try to say as few words as possible for a while, so that you have a chance to ask a question or two."

Xia Jingyun turned his head to look at him, and Bai Yunbian snorted arrogantly, "What an expression!" Is this son such a stingy person? ”

With the seniority of Bai Yunbian and Xia Jingyun, naturally they are not close enough to allow Su Yuanshang to talk in the study.

But the other party did not slack off, and set up tea in the main living room to receive it.

Bai Yunbian and Xia Jingyun didn't sit for a while, and Su Yuanshang walked in with a smile.

"Le Xianxian's nephew, I've been waiting for a long time! Who is this? ”

Xia Jingyun hurriedly got up, "Yun Jingxia, a student from Surabaya Prefecture, the word Yanzu, has seen Master Su!" ”

Su Yuan still did not doubt him, nodded with a smile, and said politely, "A talent, please take a seat!" ”

Bai Yunbian restrained his invincible arrogance a little at this time, and said: "Uncle Su Shi, now that the spring is coming, before entering Beijing, my father ordered me to travel around the state to increase my knowledge, and then I also asked for more advice from capable officials like you, so I took the liberty to visit, and I hope to forgive me." ”

"Brother An Min has already made it clear to me, and you and I don't need to be born."

Su Yuanshang smiled, "You are a state Xie Yuan, the imperial examination is naturally not a problem, in the future, as an official, you really need to understand more about the suffering of the people's livelihood and the principle of the operation of the world, so that when you are an official, you can benefit one party and not be pedantic and harm the people." My twins are still young, and if I can spend the autumn in the future, I will let him travel as much as you do. ”

With a sigh of emotion, he regained his usual ability and decisiveness, and looked at Baiyunbian, "Do you ask me to answer, or do I say you listen?" ”

Bai Yunbian said: "I'll ask first, and then I'll bother Uncle Su Shi to make a point." ”

"Okay."

Bai Yunbian settled down and asked the first question, "May I ask Uncle Shi, the sages are very righteous, and it is difficult for us to be poor, how can we rule the world with them?" ”

"Come, come, come! It's open, it's open! ”

At the same time that Xia Jingyun and Bai Yunbian walked into the yamen, several officials gathered in the errand room and put up bets.

"I inquired clearly, the person who came was the son of the governor of the state and the city, so the old rules, one tea to one to pay three, one tea to one stick of incense one and a half, one stick of incense to half an hour, half to an hour, one to one, one to an hour, one to five! I'm going to buy it! ”

A group of officials placed bets one after another, and most of them placed them on a stick of incense and half an hour.

"Adults have always disliked wasting time on this ushering send-off, so I still press a stick of incense."

"You don't understand, don't you, although the adults don't like it, if it's for the little people, I'm afraid that they will be driven out with a cup of tea, but the person is the son of the governor of the Shi family, can you not give some face? I'll bet for half an hour! ”

"You guys, you still don't understand our lords, our lords are only focused on government affairs, and if he has that free time, he might as well deal with more official documents and go to the city more! I'll bet on a stick of incense. ”

"I think there are two people here this time, so let's stay a little longer! I'll bet an hour! ”

"Haha, why don't you bet more than an hour! You can also lose five! ”

"You're stupid to me!"

A group of people laughed and laughed in the public room, and just as they expected, Su Yuanshang was already planning to serve tea to the guests after seriously answering a few questions from Baiyunbian.

It's not that he doesn't give face, first, he has always been like this, with a clear conscience;

Second, the back and forth of Baiyunbian is still the same as those corrupt Confucians in the DPRK, and he is the sage and sage at every turn, the people are afraid of power but not virtue, and the people of Li are not polite and chaotic in the world.

He looked at Bai Yunbian, "Virtuous nephew, I still have some important business to do, why don't we come here?" In the evening I have my close staff entertain you at a banquet in the best restaurant in the city? ”

Bai Yunbian was stunned, he knew that he would be fast, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and it felt like it was over before it started.

was stunned, and forgot to give Xia Jingyun a chance.

Fortunately, Xia Jingyun is a person who rarely pins his hopes on others, and directly took the initiative to speak: "Master Su, the junior has a problem, and I hope you will give me advice." ”

I went out today to do a day's work, and the update was a little late, forgive me.
