Hearing Shen Baochuan's words, Zhao Feng immediately understood what Shen Baochuan meant, but he couldn't answer, so he had to smile awkwardly.
Seeing Zhao Feng's reaction, Shen Chuchu immediately understood and secretly pulled Shen Baochuan's sleeve under the table.
"Dad, Mr. Zhao just came here, let's not talk about this yet!"
Shen Baochuan patted his forehead gently and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it now!"
Zhao Feng then nodded with a smile and raised the wine glass in his hand.
After a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. During the banquet, Shen Baochuan also asked about Zhao Feng. When he learned that Zhao Feng had no idea of coming to the capital to become an official, Shen Baochuan looked full of regret.
"Mr. Zhao, although local officials have great autonomy, only the capital is truly suitable for the development of talented people like you!"
"I heard that Mr. Zhao also has some businesses of his own. If these businesses can be brought to the capital, they will definitely be able to develop quickly by taking advantage of the capital's advantages!"
Zhao Feng nodded. He believed in this very much. It could be seen from the situation of the Shen family.
Although the Shen family's ancestral property is in Zhao County, and Zhao County also has the raw materials needed for the Shen family's fabrics, the reason why the Shen family moved their business to the capital was to take advantage of the capital's advantages.
In this kind of feudal dynasty, the capital city is considered the most central place in the country. There are people of all religions and professions here, and merchants from all over the world are everywhere.
If they can build a reputation here, their business will soon spread across the country.
Moreover, you can also get the latest first-hand news here in the capital, which can be said to be the most important thing for people doing business like them.
However, Zhao Feng has no idea of coming to the capital to develop his business. If Zhao Feng wants to develop his own business, he can easily spread his business across the country no matter where he is.
Regarding these matters, Zhao Feng's consistent thinking is that it is enough.
Seeing Zhao Feng smiling and saying nothing, Shen Baochuan stopped trying to persuade him.
Knowing that Zhao Feng would go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report on his work tomorrow morning, Shen Baochuan did not persuade him to drink too much.
The servants of the Shen family had prepared a very comfortable room for Zhao Feng, and prepared hot water for Zhao Feng to wash up before they respectfully left.
Although the journey was tiring, Zhao Feng couldn't sleep for a while after arriving at Shen's house. Moreover, he was drunk, so he planned to sit in the courtyard for a while.
When we came to the courtyard, it happened to be a full moon tonight. The bright moonlight shone in the courtyard, and it was not dark even at night.
Under the moonlight, Zhao Feng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because he saw Shen Chuchu sitting in the yard.
Shen Chuchu turned to look at Zhao Feng, stood up silently, walked over and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you still asleep?"
Zhao Feng nodded, feeling that the winter in the capital was very cold. Seeing that Shen Chuchu was only wearing thin clothes, he quickly took off the brocade robe he was wearing and put it on Shen Chuchu.
"Isn't Miss Shen asleep too?"
Shen Chuchu touched the brocade robe on her body and said to Zhao Feng with a wry smile.
"Mr. Zhao will leave soon after he reports his work in Beijing, right?"
Zhao Feng nodded. He would only be in Beijing for a few days to report on his duties, so he was destined not to stay here for too long.
Shen Chuchu tightened the brocade robe on her body, feeling Zhao Feng's body temperature still remaining on the brocade robe, and a wry smile appeared on her face.
The warmth that this brocade robe could bring was only temporary. If possible, she really wanted Zhao Feng to stay.
It's a pity that she also understood what Zhao Feng was thinking, so she didn't say more about this matter, but looked at Zhao Feng deeply and walked back to her room silently.
Zhao Feng sighed deeply and said nothing more.
Early the next morning, Zhao Feng took the memorial he had written and went directly to the Ministry of Officials. The two prefects, who were also from Qingzhou, yawned sleepily. Zhao Feng smiled and greeted them.
This made the two of them look at Zhao Feng in surprise and asked curiously.
"Master Zhao, where did you go last night? Did you really not come to stay at the inn?"
"Thank you for not coming. The inn was very noisy last night. People came to check in until the evening. No one could sleep well."
Zhao Feng smiled, nodded, and said to the two of them.
"In this case, you two adults might as well go find an inn to stay!"
"Isn't it important to go to Beijing to report on your work? It would be terrible if you are considered disrespectful to the superior!"
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the two prefects shook their heads with a smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, how can there be so many things?"
"It's good enough for ordinary officials to meet the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Only those who do well can be received by the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
Zhao Feng was shocked when he heard this.
"Didn't you say before that you might be able to meet with the Holy Emperor if you go to Beijing to report on your duties?"
As soon as these words came out, the officials around them all burst into laughter, and some officials even shook their heads, looking at Zhao Feng as if they were looking at a country bumpkin who had not entered the city.
The two prefects from Qingzhou waved their hands quickly and explained to Zhao Feng with a smile.
"My Lord Zhao, the Lord is busy with everything, so how can he have so much time to take care of our work reports?"
"If they are officials who perform really well, they might be able to be retained by the Holy Emperor to enjoy the imperial banquet of hundreds of officials. However, the banquet of hundreds of officials does not happen every year, so there are not many officials who can enjoy this honor."
"Being able to catch a glimpse of the Holy One from a distance at the Banquet of Hundreds of Officials is already a blessing that we have cultivated in our previous life!"
"If you can be summoned by the Holy One in person, it will only be possible if the ancestral graves are filled with smoke!"
Only then did Zhao Feng burst into laughter and nodded, indicating that he understood.
It seems that the previous TV series were all fake. After all, this emperor was a very loyal person in the Zhou Dynasty, and he was the master of the entire country. How could he show up casually?
Just at this time, it was the turn of the officials to report on their duties in Qingzhou. The two prefects quickly walked in and handed over their memorials.
The officials from the Ministry of Personnel looked at the memorial they submitted and couldn't help but smile.
"My two adults, their political achievements this year are pretty good. Let's go back to the post house and wait!"
The two officials nodded happily, and at this time, Zhao Feng also handed over his memorial. The official looked at the name on the memorial, immediately stopped smiling, and returned Zhao Feng's memorial very seriously. Went back.
"You must be Mr. Zhao from Huaigu Fucheng. Mr. Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has said that the memorial will be left with you for now. We have no right to deal with it."
