In the county office, the flower viewing pavilion in the back garden has placed a sumptuous banquet, which is full of chickens, ducks and fish, and the most commendable thing is that there is a plate of fried meat with garlic, a plate of fried meat with beans, and a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks.

These three dishes may seem ordinary, but they actually cost a lot of money. In Sanshan County, it is still early spring, and the vegetables eaten by the common people are basically Chinese cabbage, white radish and other vegetables that can be stored for a long time. Hard-to-store green vegetables like garlic, beans, and leeks had to be shipped from the warm south to the warmth of the south, and they were more expensive than silver, but not something that ordinary people could afford.

There were several people sitting next to the banquet, and the one sitting was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a cyan boy's suit, elegant and graceful. Next to him sat a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, his face was dark, his momentum was restrained, and he sat there like a tiger resting.

Below the two, there were two more people sitting, a middle-aged man also in his early forties, he was dressed in civilian clothes, his fingers were slender, and the smile on his face was gentle and not annoying, but his eyes were a little narrow, thus ruining his overall temperament. The other person was the largest of the people present, in his fifties, with a gray head, wearing an official uniform, and his body was a little rickety.

The two people who accompanied him were none other than the county magistrate of Sanshan County, Wu Qi, who worshiped Qipin. The one wearing the Jiupin official uniform was Bo Jiang Yefan, the lord of the county.

Wu Qi was holding a wine glass and was toasting the young man, he said: "Third son, I wish you to enter Beijing to take the exam this time, the title of the gold list, and the top three in high school." I believe that soon, I will be able to hear the good news of the third son. ”

The third prince smiled reservedly and said, "Wu County's order is really polite. There are thousands of people from all over the country who have gone to Beijing to take the exam, but that is not the one who is rich in five cars, and only eight buckets in high school? I ask myself a little knowledge, I am on the list, and the problem is not big, but the top three are not so easy, and I hope that it is only between five and five. ”

Wu Qi secretly sneered, he called himself "despicable" in front of a man in his twenties, which was to give the third son's face, but he didn't expect the third son to be on the shelf, that tone was like his boss, and he was a subordinate of the third son.

Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, Wu Qi didn't dare to show it, the origin of these three sons was not simple, his son was Wu Qi's top boss, Shao Kehan, the prefect of Mingchuan Mansion. And Shao Kehan is not just a five-grade official, his father used to be an official from the second-rank political envoy, and now to Shi, Mrs. Shao Kehan's father is the broken military marquis of the current dynasty, and the broken military marquis also has a little pro with the emperor, and has won the trust of the emperor.

The third son is handsome and well-educated, and he is deeply liked by his grandfather. The middle-aged man sitting under the third prince was specially sent by the Marquis of Pojun to protect the third prince. This person is said to be a famous master in the rivers and lakes, a generation of grandmasters, and later abandoned the army to join the army, won the appreciation of the broken military marquis, and became the personal guard of the broken military marquis.

This time, the third prince went to the capital, prepared to participate in the big competition, passed by Sanshan County, and came to thank Wu Qi, how could Wu Qi not do his best to receive the reason.

"Father," the guest and host were talking happily, and a crisp and pleasant voice came, and I saw Wu Xuemei, accompanied by the two maids, moving lotus steps, like a spring breeze blowing willows, Wan Tingting walked over, stopped in front of Wu Qi, and said, "You should take medicine, my mother specially asked me to bring you medicine." ”

Wu Xuemei brought the medicine bowl from the tray held by the maid and handed it to Wu Qi.

Wu Qi smiled, took the medicine bowl, drank the black medicinal soup inside, and then said, "Thank you and your mother for your hard work." Tell your mother that I have a guest to entertain, so that she can rest early and not wait for me. ”

Wu Xuemei nodded, took the medicine bowl, saluted, and said, "My daughter is retiring." ”

At this moment, the third prince suddenly said, "Miss stay." ”

Wu Xuemei stopped, looked at the third prince suspiciously, and asked, "What is the son calling me?" At this moment, she is like a virtuous and gentle daughter with a good family education, and the arrogance and domineering spirit in Su Ri seems to have never existed.

When the third prince came over with Wu Xuemei, a pair of eyes hooked on Wu Xuemei. He had long heard that Wu Qi's daughter Wu Xuemei was a great beauty, and when he saw it today, it was indeed worthy of her reputation.

The third prince got up and left the table, walked in front of Wu Xuemei, bowed to Wu Xuemei politely, and said, "Presumably, Miss is Lord Wu's daughter." Xiao Ke has long heard of Miss's good name, and when I see it today, Miss Now is far better than rumors, which makes people feel admiration and closeness. ”

Speaking of this, the third prince showed a well-trained smile, and continued: "Introduce yourself, in Xia Shao Chuanjie, my father is the prefect of Mingchuan Mansion, my grandfather Zhishi is at home, before Zhishi, he was a political envoy, and my maternal grandfather is a marquis of the broken army. If Miss can bless me, I will definitely be able to strengthen my wings in the future. ”

Wu Xuemei smiled and said, "The little girl wishes her son the title of the gold list, and she is the top three in high school." ”

"With Miss Jiyan in front, I will definitely give Miss a champion in high school back. The third prince said proudly.

Jiang Shan, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Wu County Order, I wonder if Ling Ai has a marriage contract and a promise?"

Wu Qi hurriedly said: "Not yet." ”

Jiang Shan nodded and said, "If not, that's the best." What do you think of the third son?"

"The third son is very good, and the contemporary is also Jie. Wu Qi replied casually.

"You can do it if you think the third prince is good. What do you think of letting the third prince be your son-in-law and let your daughter marry the third prince as a flat wife?" Jiang Shan squinted her eyes and asked.

"This ......" Wu Qi secretly gasped, Wu Xuemei was the pearl of his palm, he didn't want to wronged his baby daughter no matter what, but he didn't dare to offend Shao Chuanjie's family.

"Flat wife, it's a little worse, can't you let the little girl become the wife of the third prince Ming Media?" Wu Qi fought for Wu Xuemei.

Jiang Shan snorted coldly and said: "What do you think you are? A mere seven-grade county order, there is not much future, don't think how expensive your daughter is, in the capital, I don't know how many daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles are waiting to become the equal wives and concubines of the third prince, so that Ai can grab a flat wife in advance, I don't know how much advantage it takes." Wu County's order, will it work or not? If it works, just give a happy word. ”

Wu Qi's face was cloudy, Jiang Shan was telling the truth, he had no background, and being able to sit firmly in the position of Qipin County Commander was already the result of all his strength, and before he became a general, there was basically no possibility of promotion.

If you offend Shao Chuanjie, I'm afraid that you won't even want to sit still in this county order, and if you don't get it, you will be killed.

If the prefect Shao Kehan wants to rectify him, there are too many ways, not to mention anything else, corruption and bribery alone can make him fall into a place of no return.
