Be a master through ancient times

Chuci and the others set off from Tixue Division before dawn, and did not bring them back to Fucheng until around noon.

After all, Qin Shun is a school inspector sent by the capital, and in a big way, he is an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to a place. Because of the situation and reason, the local magistrate will also come forward to receive him.

Therefore, before Chu Ci got out of the car, he heard someone report that the prefect Lu had set up a table in Juxian Tower, saying that he wanted to clean up the dust for the inspector.

Someone treats guests, how can Chu Ci refuse?Although he is usually generous, he doesn't want to spend money on people he hates.So Chu Ci said kindly to the person who came to report: "Master Zhifu's kindness, but we are disrespectful. Please go back and tell me that Chu will come with Master Inspector later."

The little brother agreed, turned around and went back to report.Chu Ci watched his back go away, then got out of the car and came to a carriage behind.

It happened that Qin Shun also wanted to ask why he stopped suddenly. As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Chu Ci looking at him with a smile.

"Chu Tixue, why didn't you leave all of a sudden? Could it be that your carriage suddenly broke down halfway? Or is your old horse unable to pull the cart anymore?" Qin Shun habitually sarcastically said that since Yu Shitai was in the After losing the battle with Chuci again and again, Yushitai's prestige dropped to a record low. When they impeached other officials, those officials were not as good-natured as before.What makes them most sad is that the emperor's attitude towards them is no longer the same as before.

All of this was caused by the kid in front of him with a hidden knife in his smile.Qin Shun won this opportunity with great difficulty, so naturally he would not easily give up any point that could ridicule Chu Ci.

Chu Ci chuckled and said, "Your Majesty Qin is joking, my horses and carriages are issued by the government, are you trying to say that the adults in the Ministry of Households filled their pockets and deliberately bought some low-quality things for the yamen below?" ?”

Qin Shun snorted coldly, this cunning Chuci wanted to dig a hole for him, could those people in the household department be easily offended?The money he spent on this trip has to be reimbursed when he goes back!

"It's just a joke. Why do you have to be so serious about Chu Tixie? It's not that there is something wrong with the car and horses, so why did you stop suddenly on this street?"

Chu Ci said: "Master Qin, it's like this. As the host of our prefect Lu, we heard that you came to Zhangzhou Mansion to inspect the academic affairs today, so we wanted to do our best to be a landlord. Please, Lord Qin, taste our Zhangzhou Mansion. Special product, I wonder if you would like to pay me a favor?"

Qin Shun was proud of himself, but he had a reluctant look on his face: "Since the magistrate is so polite, it's not easy for me to refuse, so let's go and sit down."

Seeing that he agreed, Chu Ci ordered the rest of his subordinates to go back to the Department of Education to do the preliminary work in preparation for the inspection.Juxian Building is not far from the East Street, and the carriage turned into an alley and it took less than half a cup of tea to arrive.

After getting off the carriage, Qin Shun looked at the Juxian Building in front of him and sighed artificially.After hearing this, Chu Ci felt that he was about to make trouble again, so he pretended not to hear, and only beckoned him to go inside.

Seeing this, Qin Shun sighed again, and said: "Oh, Chu Tixue, I really feel sorry for you. I had a good stay in the capital, but I just released it to such a place. Nothing else. Said, as far as this restaurant looks, it is much smaller than the ones in our capital, and it looks petty, Chu Tixue, don’t you think so?”

Chu Ci saw that the shopkeeper who came to greet him had a displeased expression on his face after hearing this, and said, "Master Qin's words are wrong. Zhangzhou Mansion is located in the south, and our southern buildings pay attention to small and exquisite buildings, while the northern ones pay attention to grandeur." Bold and unrestrained, both have their own advantages, and there is nothing comparable.”

Hearing what he said, the shopkeeper had a smile on his face again. He has always entertained rich and noble people in Juxianlou, so there is naturally some background behind it. It is inevitable that he was a little unhappy when he was suddenly called a petty person just now.

"Lord Chu, please come inside, the prefect and the others are already inside." Qin Shun wanted to say something, but the store owner had already led them to the private room upstairs.

As soon as he entered the private room, he saw the magistrate waiting at the door with several officials from the yamen. When he saw Qin Shun, he saluted him.

Putting on airs, Qin Shun nodded to them coldly and reservedly: "Everyone, you are welcome, get up."

"My lord, thank you, Lord Qin was able to take time out of his busy schedule to come here. It's really brilliant. I'm busy with official business, so I didn't greet you from afar. Please forgive me." The magistrate Lu has always treated the high officials from the capital. It is very respectful.

"It's okay. After all, I'm not here to inspect government affairs. It's enough for Chu Ti to learn from them. I haven't thanked the magistrate for his hospitality." Qin Shun felt so respectful. Also very comfortable.

Qin Shun showed a little bit of kindness, and the magistrate Lu felt flattered, and immediately waved his hand and said that it was just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning at all.After speaking, he let Qin Shun take the main seat and sat down.

After everyone was seated, Zhifu Lu clapped his hands, and someone came over with plates to serve.When you come to the coastal areas, the food you eat is naturally seafood-based.Looking at the delicious food on the table, Chu Ci guessed that this meal must have cost Lu Zhifu a lot of money.Look at this kind of abalone and sea cucumber, all of them are top quality.

Qin Shun was quite satisfied when he saw this table. This large table was placed in a restaurant in the capital, and it would not be worth a few hundred taels of silver. Some of them were even tributes, which ordinary people could not eat.

He picked up the chopsticks and tasted a bit of each, but when he picked up the small white ball in the soup basin in the middle, he suddenly encountered difficulty and couldn't pick it up no matter what.The prefect Lu at the side was very winking, and immediately scooped one up for him with a spoon and put it into a bowl, and said enthusiastically: "I heard that this Yurong pill is only eaten by the nobles in the capital. Our Zhangzhou Mansion also learned to make some, Mr. Qin, you taste this taste, is it different from the one in the capital?"

Qin Shun was suspicious because he had never eaten this food when he was in the capital.But the few people on the table looked at him firmly, and he didn't want to show timidity, so he could only scoop up the Yurong pill, put it in his mouth and take a bite.

"Well, your Yurong Wan tastes soft, tender, and delicious, and it can be called top-grade." Qin Shun also thought it was delicious, but he still said, "Compared with the ones in the capital, it is still not enough. The Yurong Wan in Beijing melts in the mouth, and the taste is unparalleled.”

Lu Zhifu's face was a little regretful. He thought this food was already delicious, but he didn't expect the one in the capital to be better, and he didn't know what it tasted like. It's a pity that he might never have the chance to try it in his life.

Chu Ci blushed while holding back his laughter, Qin Shun was pretending to be serious, was he bullying them for not having been to the capital?Chu Ci's evil eyes moved, and he asked in surprise: "Master Qin, there are Yurong pills in the capital? I have never eaten them when I was in the capital before. Could it be that this is a tribute given to you by the emperor?"

Qin Shun forgot that Chu Ci was released from outside the capital for a while, and his face became a little unnatural when he heard the words, and he reprimanded: "Of course, such delicious food, is it something that a mere sixth-rank official can eat? Now Now that we have it here, let Chu Tixue eat a few more!"

The meaning of his words is obvious, you can't stop your mouth if you have something to eat!Chu Ci snickered in his heart, but his face looked regretful: "Master Qin said that since the servants bestowed by the emperor have no blessings to enjoy, then you must eat a few more from here." After finishing speaking, he buried his head in eating up.

Zhifu Lu didn't know that Chu Ci was joking, so he inevitably looked up to Mr. Qin a few more times in his heart. It must be his confidant who can get the dishes bestowed by the emperor.If the relationship is better, maybe you can go to the capital to become an official!

Therefore, he was even more humble, and what he said was full of praise. Qin Shun also deliberately ignored Chu Ci, and only talked to Lu Zhifu during the meeting.One is intentional, the other is intentional, and within just one meal, the two have become brothers, as if they are not meeting for the first time, but old friends reunited.

After the banquet was over, the two of them were drunk and dimmed, and after they agreed to meet again in the future, they were separated by their subordinates.Chu Ci took the drunk Qin Shun and the others to the post house to resettle him. After Qin Shun was settled, Chu Ci called a table for Qin Shun's followers.

"Everyone has worked hard all the way, come and have some food." Chu Ci warmly entertained them.

The followers refused at first, but after Chu Ci's repeated persuasion, they pushed and sat down.These people usually have a low status, but suddenly an official treats them mildly, and they become restrained instead.

But who is Chu Ci?He has always been very good at talking, and after a while, he has a good conversation with these people.When the time was right, Chu Ci began to inquire about Qin Shun's daily work habits in roundabout ways. Because of his skillful speech skills, these people only thought that this adult was more curious, and they didn't realize that there was anything wrong at all.

During the banquet, someone mentioned that when he was in the provincial capital the night before yesterday, Mr. Qin read the case file all night, and said that he wanted to find out those who had meritorious reputation in it.They didn't know many words, so they searched for them all night.

Chu Ci was startled. At such a time, every behavior of Qin Shun must have a reason. What is the reason for finding out the famous people?He brought the topic to this topic without any trace, and a follower recalled it, saying that Lord Qin said this was very important, and he also read a name in particular, "Li Linhua", saying that that person was expelled from fame and exile for killing people. some type of.After finishing speaking, the entourage also said with emotion that the official is good, and killing people doesn't pay for their lives.

When Chu Ci heard what he said, he already understood in his heart.He immediately said that there were important matters to be dealt with in the yamen, so he left first.Before leaving, he added a few more dishes to them, and these followers repeatedly praised him for his grandeur.

In the Department of Education, everyone is sitting in the hall full of various materials and waiting nervously.When they heard that Mr. Tixue was back, they couldn't sit still.

"Master Chu, the Inspector didn't go with you?" The officials were very puzzled when they found that only Chu Ci had returned.

"Mr. Superintendent and Mr. Zhifu hit it off immediately, and then the two drank a few more glasses, and now they are resting in the posthouse." After Chu Ci finished speaking, he walked into the hall in a hurry, and kept flipping through a pile of materials try to find.

"Master Chu, what are you looking for?"

"Quick, let's help find out. Among the people who passed the provincial examination three years ago, is there anyone named Li Linhua?" Chu Ci turned while talking.

Zhou Qing, who was in charge of making this material, recalled it for a while, and then said: "My lord, it seems that there is such a person, what's wrong?"

Chu Ci stopped, looked back at him and urged, "We'll discuss this matter later, you should find that person first."

Seeing his expression, Zhou Qing felt that something important should happen, so he immediately searched among the materials he had sorted out, and found this person in a short while.

After Chu Ci received it, he carefully checked the introduction about this person. It said that he was from Lijia Village, Xi County.

"Change the information on this person's document. His name of Juren has been dismissed. Then go to the magistrate's office to borrow the books of criminals for nearly three years, and see how many people have been dismissed. All the paperwork needs to be revised, and each person has to issue another draft of the notice. Everyone, act quickly, and we must complete it before tomorrow."

His expression was very serious, and the others did not dare to neglect, and immediately moved around.

Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he went to inquire, otherwise he would really be caught by Qin Shun.It's a shame that those previous school promotions were not doing business, and he was responsible for leaving a mess!
