Chapter 196: Me Too
Li Dong glanced at Liu Ji and said, "I'm not going either."
Xu Qing wondered, "Why?"
Liu Jidao: "You are the only one in your family, but I still have an old mother to take care of. I read a book last time... Forget it, I can't remember... Anyway, there is a sentence on it that says parents are here If you don’t travel far, my mother is getting old and can’t bear the exhaustion of traveling as far as the capital.”
Li Dong nodded and said: "I am the same, I also have a mother to take care of."
Liu Jidao: "Wait a year or two, and find a wife who can live this life comfortably, and I don't want to go to the capital to seek wealth."
Li Dong nodded again and said, "Me too."
Liu Ji continued: "Besides, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital. If you accidentally offend them, you may cause trouble. I may cause you trouble if I go, so I will stay in Yongzhou City to take care of you. Go to the shop."
Li Dong pursed his lips and found that he couldn't say anything better than Liu Ji, so he could only nod in the end: "Me too."
Xu Qing looked at the two of them and said: "If you want to stay in Yongzhou, you can stay in Yongzhou. I won't force you. It happens that many shops in Yongzhou City also need you to take care of them. In fact, it's good to be at home, at least the location I know everything by myself, that's all, come, come, eat vegetables!"
Xu Qing, Liu Ji, and Li Dong never had the habit of drinking. First, it was a mistake to drink, and second... At that time, the family was really poor, and the price of drinks was expensive, so basically everything that could be saved was saved...
After Xu Qing came home, Su Qian was sitting on the bed in the bedroom reading Xu Qing's new script. When she saw Xu Qing coming in, Su Qian stood up and said, "My husband is back."
Xu Qing walked up to Su Qian and said, "Father-in-law, it stands to reason that you don't have to go to the Yamen today."
Su Qian said: "Father and a group of officials in Yongzhou City went to Guiyun Tower. It was a banquet set up by the governor. Father just left not long ago."
Xu Qing nodded and said: "I see. It seems that father-in-law will not come back for dinner. What do you want to eat? I will do it."
Su Qian said, "Sweet and sour short ribs."
Xu Qing guessed that Su Qian would say that, and Su Qian couldn't get tired of eating sweet and sour short ribs, so she said, "Lady, wait here for a while, the food will be ready in a while."
Su Qian said, "Let me help my husband."
Xu Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "Young lady wait here, just take charge of tasting."
Su Qian glanced at Xu Qing, twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "What's the matter? Husband is afraid that I will steal my teacher's art?"
Xu Qing sighed and said: "Oh, I taught the apprentice to starve to death Master, if you don't have a housekeeping dish in your hand, I'm afraid I won't have anything to do in our kitchen after a while..."
After saying that, Xu Qing raised her legs and walked towards the kitchen. Halfway there, she turned her head to look at Su Qian who was about to follow and said with a smile, "My lady, you are not allowed to peek."

Guiyun Building
within an accord
All the officials in Yongzhou City sat around one place, and since one table couldn't fit, they ordered dishes for two tables.
The money was all paid by Governor Dong, almost every year, and the New Year's gathering was intended to be auspicious and festive.
Just when many officials from the prefectural government and the surrounding counties had arrived, Governor Dong also walked in, and along with him came the governor's only son——Dong Hao.
Seeing this, all the officials got up quickly and said with cupped hands: "Master Dong."
Governor Dong also smiled and cupped his hands back and said: "My colleagues, please sit down, my colleagues, please sit down."
While cupping his hands, he walked to the county magistrate and sat down. Dong Hao also sat down on the seat of Dong Cishi.
After Governor Dong sat down, all the officials took their seats.
Seeing Governor Dong's actions, everyone's hearts trembled, and their eyes turned to County Magistrate Su.
In the past, the governors were all from Yongzhou on the left, and Yongzhou Changshi on the right!
Now, he bypassed the two of them and sat next to the county magistrate of Yong'an... His Excellency the governor actually liked the county magistrate of Yong'an so much!
Why? Just because he did better than all of them when the new law was enacted?
That's not going to make Governor Dong like this!
The seats at the banquet are very particular. The governor sits on the honorable seat, and then the rest of the officials extend to both sides according to the size of their official positions.
People are very realistic, and being an official is even more realistic, and the bigger the official, the more realistic.
The political achievements made by the magistrate of Yong'an at the beginning of the promulgation of the new law are of course an addition to the own credit book, but they are the credit of the magistrate of Yong'an County. Although Dong Cishi can also be credited with these credits, after all, Yong'an County is also his own. Under the rule, but it can't take up too much light, Dong Cishi doesn't have to be like this.
If such an approach is of no benefit to Governor Dong, he will definitely not lower his status.
Everyone is a person whose interests come first.
But if you want to talk about the benefits of having a good relationship with Su County Magistrate... even if a county magistrate rises up by one rank, he will not be bigger than the governor of Yongzhou, the governor of Yongzhou!
What benefits can Su county magistrate bring to the governor to make the governor so fawning on him?
It really puzzled them!
Not to mention that they couldn't figure it out, Su County Magistrate was also puzzled. I always felt that this Shangguan was intentionally or unintentionally trying to curry favor with him recently...
Even during the Chinese New Year, others gave gifts to own Shangguan, but the governor sent someone to send him a congratulatory gift during the Chinese New Year...
When does the boss give gifts to subordinates? !
He was also dumbfounded, he is a person who almost can't even be a county magistrate, what is there to please?
It seems that there is nothing...
After Sitting down, Inspector Yu looked at County Magistrate Su with a smile and asked, "Earlier, the official said that Mr. Su and Mr. Xu Qing should come here together. Why didn't you see Mr. Xu Qing?"
Dong Hao's eyes lit up when he heard the words Mr. Xu Qing. The last time he received a poem from Brother Xu, he benefited a lot. Moreover, when he went to the poetry meeting last time, everyone saw him holding Xu Qing's poem. Brother's gift poems all showed envious eyes, which satisfies his vanity well. If I can get another one today, wouldn't it make me look even more proud in front of the scholars in Yongzhou City?
Not everyone can get the gift poem from the number one talented scholar in Yongzhou City!
But it seems that Brother Xu didn't come, Dong Hao's eyes darkened again.
The county magistrate of Su hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Today I wanted to bring him here to meet the Lord Inspector, but this afternoon I had something to do and I don't know where he went, so I couldn't come here together, Lord Inspector forgive me."
The governor said with a smile: "Lord Su is serious, serious. Mr. Xu Qing is usually busy with affairs, so it is reasonable and reasonable that he can't come."
