They are both of the third grade, but the value of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Governor of the Jingzhao Prefecture are different.
If the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture wants to visit the Minister of Civil Affairs, he needs to send a greeting invitation first.
When the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel wanted to visit the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, not only did the latter walk backwards to welcome him, but the middle door was opened wide, at least the servants had to stand in two rows to give way to the honored guests.
However, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion in this dynasty is named Han Bairen.
Han Bairen's Han Mansion refused to allow all civil servants to enter the mansion because it was considered unlucky.
After Zhao Tai arrived at the place in a sedan chair due to pressure from his daughter, he became impatient.
The huge Han Mansion didn't even have a door, but the side door was open. A man missing an arm was picking at his feet at the door.
Zhao Laosi went up the steps. He didn't want to go in. He opened his mouth to tell his identity. The man who was picking his feet picked his nose again and said in one sentence, "My master has been affected by the cold in the palace and it is inconvenient to see guests."
Zhao Laosi was stunned for a long time and didn't speak. He didn't know whether to ask this guy to inform him first or to ask how your master got infected with Gong Han?
"This little brother, I am the steward of the Zhao Mansion. My master is in the sedan chair and has prepared generous gifts. He is the minister, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, the Ministry of official affairs!"
"Oh." The man stood up and said, "My master's palace is cold, the palace is cold, it's very cold, and he doesn't see any guests."
Zhao Laosi asked stupidly: "Do you know who the Minister of Staff is?"
The man nodded and asked, "Then do you know what Gong Han means?"
"I know, do you know?"
"I know." The man shook his head: "I just don't want to see the civil servants."
"you…"
Zhao Laosi was so angry that he turned around and came to the sedan chair, blowing his beard and staring.
The sedan was at the bottom of the steps, and Artai heard clearly what the two said.
"Master, look, this..."
In front of outsiders, Zhao Laosi calls Zhao Tai Laoye, and when there is no one around, he calls him Atai.
Zhao Tai opened the curtain of the sedan chair and walked out, walking up the steps without getting angry.
"Go and ask your Han Mansion manager to come out, Zhao Tai, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhao, please wait a moment."
The man turned his head and yelled.
"Steward, someone is looking for you... Steward, Steward… Where did the Steward die?"
After calling for a long time, the man slapped his forehead and said apologetically: "Look at your memory, I am not in charge of the Han family."
Zhao Tai: "..."
Seeing that Zhao Tai was getting impatient, Zhao Laosi quickly said: "Then who is in charge of your Han family?"
"housekeeper."
"Call the butler out."
"Oh." The man turned his head: "Where is the housekeeper, someone is looking for you, ah, what, the housekeeper died and was just buried. The master accidentally got cold and the young master is not here..."
Turning his head, the man apologized: "You can come another day. People in the mansion say the housekeeper is dead."
"You bastard, how dare you play tricks on me!"
Zhao Tai was completely angry: "Is the door of your Han Mansion so difficult to enter? Go inside and tell Han Bairen, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, that I am right outside the door. Who gave him the courage to shut the door away!"
The man stared with dead eyes: "Do you have to see my master today?"
"It's nonsense, why don't you report it."
"oh."
Seeing that Zhao Tai was not as able to send away the civil servants who came to visit him with a few words, the man had no choice but to turn around and yell again.
"Old Tong, where are his mother's people? Go find the master. Zhao Yangshui, the official, Zhao Master, Zhao master, go and ask if he can be let in."
Zhao Tai was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "My name is Zhao Tai, not Zhao Yangshui!"
The man hurriedly bowed: "I am illiterate, so don't be as knowledgeable as I am."
Zhao Tai was so angry. Does this have anything to do with whether he is literate or not?
Too lazy to compete with this guy who looked like he was from the military, Zhao Tai stood outside the side door with his hands behind his back. He didn't believe that Han Bairen could really leave him here.
Unexpectedly, time passed by minute by minute, and the inside of Han Mansion was like a ghost, with no sound at all.
Zhao Tai, the official minister, had never suffered such humiliation before, and he snorted heavily.
"Well, you Han Bairen, I am an official in the same palace, and I have prepared a lot of gifts, but you are so coldly treated in your Han Mansion. I have written down what happened today."
With a harsh sound, Zhao Tai turned around and left.
Zhao Laosi quickly stopped Zhao Tai and said in a low voice: "Master, please don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive. There are two outstanding men in the Han family. The strong man Wang saved the eldest lady again. He will suffer some humiliation. It won't be a problem."
"That's nonsense. I am the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. How dare he, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, treat me so indifferently? What a shame!"
Zhao Laosi reminded: "Miss."
"big…"
Zhao Tai was still scared. Between being angry and dying, he chose the former.
"Then wait!"
Zhao Tai muttered, and just as he was about to get into the sedan, he suddenly saw two figures in the distance, arms around each other, walking happily this way.
Zhao Tai was stunned, and so was Zhao Laosi.
The two people walking shoulder to shoulder were also stunned.
Zhao Tai slowly turned his head and looked directly at the man, his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames: "You just...didn't you say...that your master...is inconvenient to see guests?"
The man nodded: "Yeah, that's it."
"Then you...didn't your master just come back?"
"Oh, really, Mr. Zhao, please forgive me, I can't read."
Zhao Tai: "..."
The people who came over were none other than Han Bairen and Wang Shan, who were wearing official robes.
When the two saw Zhao Tai coming, they were extremely suspicious.
Han Bairen came over and gave him a gift that was perfunctory: "Hey, isn't this Zhao Yang...isn't it Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Tai's mentality was almost broken, and he responded with a salute: "I am here to find Mr. Han, but I don't know how Mr. Han disciplines his servants on weekdays. A mere servant of the Han family dares to play with me. "
"What, there is another matter." Han Bairen turned his head and glared at the man fiercely, and then said to Zhao Tai apologetically: "Master Zhao, please forgive me, my servants in the Han family are illiterate, and I have neglected Master Zhao. You little man will not remember it." Your Majesty, let’s take care of ourselves.”
Zhao Tai, who has always been extremely well-educated, really wants to curse. Does this have anything to do with being illiterate?
Han Bairen asked curiously: "I wonder why Mr. Zhao is looking for me?"
"There is definitely something important."
"Oh, tell me then."
"Are you talking here?"
"if not?"
"You..." Zhao Tai was furious after all: "Han Bairen, are you also playing tricks on me?"
Zhao Laosi reminded in a low voice: "Miss."
Zhao Tai: "Master Han is so funny. I like to be teased. It's very interesting. Can I come into your Han mansion for a visit?"
Han Bairen shook his head: "No."
"Why."
"No reason."
Zhao Tai growled: "Han Bairen, don't bully others too much!"
Zhao Laosi: "Miss."
Zhao Tai smiled all over his face: "Master Han is becoming more and more interesting."
"Is it funny?" Han Bairen was cheerful and quite proud: "My son said the same thing."
Zhao Tai: "..."
Zhao Laosi sighed and saluted Han Bairen: "My master's visit has nothing to do with the court affairs, the Zhao family, any ministers, and Captain Han."
"Tell me earlier."
Han Bairen laughed and waved his hand: "Open the door and welcome the guests."
After finishing speaking, Han Bairen also made a gesture of invitation.
The anger on Zhao Tai's face disappeared, and he took a deep look at Han Bairen, who looked more like a martial artist than a martial artist, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Han Bairen please go first."
"good."
Han Bairen walked into the side door first, and cast an appreciative look at the man as he passed by.
The servants of the Han Mansion, not to mention whether they have the guts to play tricks on the Minister of Civil Affairs, just say that they are not fools, and there is no reason why they would bring trouble to the Han Mansion. There is naturally a reason for doing so.
Because after the sign of the Han Mansion was put up, Han Bairen said that when civil servants are here, everyone can express themselves freely. They can disgust civil servants as much as they want. The more disgusting the better.
