Chapter 106 Family Banquet

The singing girl saw Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan, both of whom appeared in front of her and almost cried. The two brothers looked at each other and felt that they were not only not terrible, but also very handsome. Lin Zimo, who passed by with a smile, bent down, picked up the pipa on the ground and handed it over to her hand. Most of the time, it was her grandfather who sent her granddaughter here to sing songs for the two of them in order to thank them for their life-saving kindness.

The singing girl walked to the door and didn't hear the political affairs they were talking about, but listened to the content of the two brothers' gossip. In a dilemma, she was still distracted, causing the pipa in her hands to fall to the ground and alarm them. She thought they were all rare good people, but she didn't expect that they were not like that.

Lin Zimo noticed that the twelve-year-old girl was still standing still with a little fear in her eyes. Their brilliant and tall images were all destroyed in the jokes of the two. As a child, she was afraid that she had just escaped from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den. Although she didn't know the specific content of the men's and women's affairs, the previous scene of "wolf pounced on food" downstairs had cast a shadow on her young heart.

"You'd better go back and take care of your grandfather. We don't like to listen to small songs. Lin Zimo, who didn't want everyone to be embarrassed, opened his mouth first.

The singing girl who heard this felt that there was an explanation, and her face immediately appeared happily. She nodded, turned around and ran away. Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan turned around, closed the door, sat in their original positions, and continued to drink. An hour passed, Lin Zimo, who was very satisfied, came to the next room and slept in ** clothes.

After another hour and a half, he woke up and asked the shopkeeper to bring hot water. He washed his face, changed into a formal and generous suit, got on the horse and went to the governor's government. The reason why Lin Zimo can ride a horse is taught by Zhao Wenxuan. Since I had this good brother, I have really learned skills and skills that I have never had before.

Lin Zimo, who was not in a hurry, saw that Nanning City was really much more prosperous and lively than Pingnan City under his jurisdiction. Although the sky is already dim, there are still many people on the street. If it had been in Pingnan County at this hour, I'm afraid I would have seen a few people walking around. Therefore, there is really no way to compare small places with big places.

Lin Zimo came to the outside the governor's gate and turned over his black-haired horse. Han Yong, who stood at the door and waited for him for a long time, greeted him with a smile. Under his guidance, Lin Zimo followed him to the Houhua Hall. He said 'wait a minute' and slowly retreated. Lin Zimo, who had just sat down, saw a little maid setting himself up a good tea.

Lin Zimo knew that eating was just a form, and conversation was the real purpose and content. Han Yong wanted to win over himself, which fully showed that he was very valuable. Otherwise, how could a provincial party secretary-style figure condescend to invite a county party secretary to dinner and let him come to his home for a family banquet?

Lin Zimo, who didn't sit for a long time, saw Han Yong, who was not wearing an official uniform, come in from outside the door and said with a cheerful smile, "Lin Zhixian, let's go to the hall and talk while eating. It is said that you are very good at drinking. I have specially prepared Shanxi Fen wine for you for 50 years. I am both an informal person and a wine lover, so I will have a wine party.

Lin Zimo, who stood up, still saw a salute to him. He knew in his heart that this was the politeness of the governor. If I really sit down and eat and drink, it will be a waste of this opportunity to meet the leader alone. He dares not say that there is no good banquet here, but he believes that there will be a lot of topics between the two.

At the dining table in the hall, Han Yong and Lin Zimo were the main guests and sat down one after another. Speaking of a family banquet, it may be a real family banquet. After all, the governor will definitely not be a table full of home-cooked dishes, but full of delicacies. Around them, there is no one standing a maid and a servant, but by the big housekeeper of the Han family. After all, the topic they are going to talk about is not just about the weather. Therefore, military affairs and government affairs will naturally not let unrelated people hear a word.

Han Yong is a pragmatic person. He did not come first with politeness and greetings. He directly entered the topic and said, "Although there are many voices opposing my proposal, I still intend to recommend you as the governor of Xunzhou."

Lin Zimo, who listened carefully, stood up and saluted carefully: "Thank you for your kindness."

"Sitting down quickly and don't give me these false gifts." Han Yong greeted him to sit down and said seriously, "Since Xunzhou Prefecture is surrounded by the main activity area of the rebels, the main battlefield of the imperial campaign will be concentrated in this large area. Your main responsibilities are twofold, one is to support, and the other is to cooperate with the imperial army to eliminate those rebels.

Lin Zimo, who was sitting upright, said with a serious face, "To tell you the truth, I'm really powerless. You must know the specific situation of Xunzhou Prefecture. Over the years, there is no money, no grain, no soldiers. Even if I am asked to escort food and fodder to the imperial army, I am afraid that due to the lack of troops in my hand, it will lead to irresistible looting on the way. Those heroes who can defend Pingnan County are newly recruited strong men, but they have no experience in field.

The reason why Han Yong, who still knows more or less about the following specific situation, noticed Lin Zimo is that he fought a battle that was going to be defeated but was not defeated: "What you said is indeed true. I know the difficulties of some of your county governments, but the grand plan of the imperial court is not allowed to be delayed. As ministers, we should share our worries for your majesty.

Lin Zimo, who didn't say anything, wanted to say something simple and difficult to do. If you really have a way, you can say nothing! The emperor wants him to share his worries, but who can he share his worries? Anyway, he has made up his mind. If the court doesn't give him anything this time, Lin Zimo is determined to pretend to be crazy and will not take over the seal of the governor of Xunzhou.

Han Yong saw that he didn't reply. He must have known his difficulties, so he planned to listen to his urgent needs and said, "What do you want the court to give, you can just say it. As for the expropriation of rebels, do you have a good plan to deal with them? Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer officials who can understand them, and there are very few officials like you who are capable of literature and martial arts.

Lin Zimo did not slap his chest and say some beautiful scenes, but said very practically: "I have been beg of money, food, soldiers and ordnance from the house, but I have never seen a penny, a grain, a soldier and a knife. If you really want me to share your majesty's worries and relieve the difficulties of the court, then please give me money, food, reinforcements and ordnance.

If the household department of Beijing does not send money and food to Han Yong, then he has no choice but to do nothing about it. As for the reinforcements mentioned by Lin Zimly, there is no problem. After all, the reinforcements from other provinces have rushed to Guangxi. It is not difficult for you to send an officer and army from the provincial government to Xunzhou Prefecture first. There is no problem with the ordnance. After all, there are still some in the ordnance warehouse of the provincial government.

Han Yong, who immediately expressed his attitude, said, in order to make Lin Zimo concentrate on planning and cooperating with the imperial army to eliminate the rebels, "Zhao Wenxuan Qianhu, who came with you, came there and went back there. One is that he is familiar with the terrain there, and the other is that he understands and grasps the specific situation of the rebels. As for the soldiers, I will draw a thousand people from the defense forces of the provincial government to be under his direct command. In terms of ordnance, you will take away the standard equipment of 5,000 people first. Soldiers and Qianliang, you should still think of more ways.

Lin Zimo, who is listening and calculating in his heart, knows that Han Yong's promised people, horses, things and actual needs are really too far away. He wants to find a way by himself, and the only way he can figure out is to wear official clothes as a robber. Lin Zimo, who didn't say anything, did not directly express his attitude. You neither accept nor show unwillingness, and the subtext is up to you.

Han Yong, who knew it well, suddenly began to slowly change the topic and said, "The position of governor of Xunzhou must have some twists and turns. However, I will still fully support you. In my opinion, no one is more suitable for this magistrate than you.

Lin Zimo, who knew that this was not a good job, smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Meng Zhongcheng is wrongly in love, and his subordinates will try to live up to your expectations. If a colleague recommends himself, I would be very happy to do auxiliary work.

Han Yong did not blame his recommendation committee. He knew that he had many difficulties and did not want to put pressure on him any more. Instead, he talked about some relatively relaxed topics and said, "I see that you are not only a talent, but also about 20 years old, at the age suitable for starting a family. Can I have a marriage for you at home?

Lin Zimo, who realized what he meant, knew that he would not say this kind of boring gossip for no reason, thinking that he would probably marry the daughter of that family to himself. He knew that in order to strengthen the relationship between feudal society, the most direct and effective method was marriage. If I really became the governor of Xunzhou, I would naturally become a rising star in the Ming Dynasty.

I don't plan to be Chen Shimei's Lin Zimo. To tell the truth, he said, "I have already married. I not only have a wife but also a concubine. They all married me when I was in a poor position.

Han Yong, who has a trace of disappointment, really intends to marry his youngest daughter to him. After all, a man like Lin Zimo, who is capable of martial arts and outstanding in appearance, is really hard to find in the world. Presumably his little daughter will certainly be satisfied.

And the 28-year-old Han Caiyi has been deeply favored by his father since he was a child. She has always been proud of herself and proud of herself as the first talented woman in the Ming Dynasty. Han Caiyi, who was born in a noble family, not only had a beautiful face, but also stood out of the pavilion, which made him more arrogant and even regarded men in the world as nothing at one time.
