With these words, Hong Yuankui's heart immediately became brighter, just like drinking ice water in the dog days of summer.
"Yes! I will definitely live up to your high expectations!" Hong Yuankui knelt down on one knee and kowtowed.
Luo Xianwei waved his hand easily: "Go ahead."
Seeing Hong Yuankui exiting the room, Luo Xianwei put away the relaxed look he had just shown, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looked at the northern sky and murmured to himself: "Master Bai was walking around Qinghe, and he was telling Zhao Cheng, What exactly does that mean?"
There is no doubt that Bai Dongjiang's son Bai Jingtao, together with Meng Zhiyuan and Meng Chan's grandson, three generations of his family have been in the Changqing Army. They run the business as if it were their own territory and can be regarded as important figures in the army.
This man, both civil and military, could definitely be regarded as a prominent figure in the Chen Dynasty, but he lingered in Qinghe County for more than a month, traveling back and forth several times. It was for this reason that Lian County Magistrate made an excuse to travel to the mountains and never return.
Now Mr. Bai has gone around somewhere and returned to Qinghe County. Maybe Magistrate Pan will have to go out for a mountain tour.
Thinking of Pan Zhuo, Luo Xianwei didn't know what to say. Although they were both ministers of the Chen Dynasty, Pan Zhuo was a seventh-rank official and belonged to the inner stream. Luo Xianwei, on the other hand, was a miscellaneous official. He didn't even have a rank and was not in the upper class.
Often when something happened in the county, Luo Xianwei would compare himself with Pan Zhuo to see how Pan Zhuo handled the same thing and how he would handle it.
For example, the son of Bai Dongjiang arrived in Qinghe County and stayed there for more than a month. With such a good opportunity, if it were Luo Xianwei, he would have used various means to get close to him. With the relationship between the son of Mr. Ge, do you still worry about not being promoted in the future? ?
But what Pan Zhuo did was to escape and travel to the mountains, and he would travel as long as Mr. Bai stayed there. The county magistrate did not come back until Mr. Bai left some time ago. In Luo Xianwei's view, this was simply ridiculous.
The magistrate of a county actually left the county affairs alone and openly announced that he had gone on a trip to the mountains. Is this because he is tired of being an official?
Maybe Mr. Bai was too visionary to see this small county order, or maybe there was another reason. In short, Pan Zhuo had a great time traveling in the mountains, and the affairs of the county were handled in an orderly and stable manner by the county magistrate and the chief registrar. .
Luo Xianwei is a foreign official. Unless something unexpected happens, he will have no hope of promotion in his life.
No matter how capable he is, at most he will be selected in the triennial "big plan" and his name will be sent to the Ministry of Personnel. Only after his name is included in three consecutive "big plans" will the Ministry of Personnel consider promotion.
The most common way to be promoted in Dianshi is to be the county chief registrar, that is, from the "fourth master" to the "third master".
But Luo Xianwei is already forty-three years old. Let’s not talk about whether the county magistrate Pan Zhuo can stay in Qinghe County for nine years. Even if he doesn’t leave for nine years, every “big plan” will be rated as excellent. Luo Xianwei is already fifty-two when he is promoted to chief secretary. Well, when he was promoted from chief clerk to county magistrate, I don’t know what year or month it will be.
Even if he finally made it to the county magistrate level, he would probably be gray-haired and might end up "died in office".
Therefore, Luo Xianwei really wanted to get closer to Mr. Bai, and felt that Pan Zhuo's approach of traveling to the mountains was simply a waste of precious opportunities given by God.
It's a pity that if the county's Chief Secretary He wants to get close to him, the most he can do is meet Mr. Bai's domestic slave, and he has to address him as "Brother Mao". It is obviously impossible to go up this road with all your strength.
Luo Xianwei looked at the sky and saw that it was almost lunch time, so he told his servants not to prepare anything and he went outside to eat.
After leaving the arresting hall, Luo Xianwei went straight to Dashunzhai.
"Hey, this is a distinguished guest today. Please take a seat upstairs!" Zhang Dashun saw Luo Xianwei and recognized the "Fourth Master" from Qinghe County, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Luo Xianwei raised his hand, held Zhang Dashun's elbow, and prevented him from bowing down. He said: "The shopkeeper excuses himself. They all say that Dashun vegetarian food is delicious. I came here today to smell the fragrance. I don't think I will let him go." I'm disappointed!"
Zhang Dashun said with a smile: "Master Luo's presence will make the walls of Dashun Zhai shine. I will definitely invite Master Luo to taste the best dishes. I wonder who Mr. Luo is today?"
Luo Xianwei said with a relaxed expression: "It's just me, I can just make a few side dishes, not too many. But the wine needs the best aging from your Dashunzhai, so don't be careless." He laughed.
Zhang Dashun hurriedly went down to make arrangements and winked at Zhao Cheng who was sitting by the window.
Zhao Cheng didn't go home at noon. When he returned home, Zhou Rushuang would always surround him and call him "Langjun Langjun", but now it was silent and too deserted, so he simply ate at Dashunzhai. lunch.
Seeing the look in Zhang Dashun's eyes, Zhao Chengmo continued to drink two more drinks without saying a word, and was about to go down and listen to what Zhang Dashun wanted to say to him, but unexpectedly, "Master Luo" suddenly said to him: "Look at how you look. He must be a student, pouring and drinking by himself, how deserted it is. I happen to be alone too, casually eating, why not sit here and have a drink together? "
Zhao Cheng could only put aside the matter of Zhang Dashun for the time being, and replied calmly: "Why not?" He moved over to the table.
Luo Xianwei was very happy to see Zhao Cheng so happy: "I don't know what to call him?"
"I'm Zhao Cheng! I don't know who your brother is..."
"Luo Xianwei."
Zhao Cheng really didn't know that Luo Xianwei was Dian Shi. Although Zhang Dashun just said something about Mr. Luo, such as "the walls are shining brightly", he only regarded it as a compliment from a businessman.
So he nodded without hesitation, cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Brother Luo."
Luo Xianwei was stunned for a moment and then understood, but he didn't take it seriously.
He recognized Zhao Cheng even earlier than Hong Yuankui.
As early as the first day Bai Jingtao entered Qinghe County, Luo Xianwei's eyes had been rolling around Bai Jingtao. At that time, "Zhao Cheng" approached Bai Jingtao and had a pleasant conversation with him. Luo Xianwei had already noticed this rogue gambler.
Later, "Zhao Cheng" became poor and contracted typhoid fever. He was about to die in the matchmaker's office. He was bought back by the little girl Zhou Rushuang with money. Luo Xianwei had already moved his eyes away from "Zhao Cheng" and regarded it as invalid. resource.
But unexpectedly, this "invalid resource" quickly turned around. Not only did Bai Gongzi look for him, but he also bought a warehouse in Qinghe County and hired a dozen barbarians to make MSG there.
Although Zhao Cheng hid these things very well, he could not hide them from the eyes of officials, especially Dian Shi. If he wanted to find out the details of a person in Qinghe County, he would be able to find out the color of his underwear.
Zhao Cheng had almost no secrets in front of Luo Weixian, except everything about Mr. Bai.
"Haha, then I won't be polite. I'm a few years older than you, so I'll support you and call myself your brother." Luo Xianwei poured a glass of wine for Zhao Cheng: "Brother Zhao Xian might as well try the taste of this Dashunzhai cellar. how."
Zhao Cheng had drunk this wine, and it tasted average. Compared with the wine in his previous life, it could only be said to be more mellow. This cellar was truly cellared, and after it was sealed, it had a fruity fragrance.
