Chapter 018 Son
Lin Zimo, who had drunk two mouthfuls of tea, casually asked Wang Qiang, who were still waiting outside his door? Wang Qiang, who received their posts, answered one by one. Lin Zimo, who had a number in his heart, was determined to meet the officials and big family who did not come to meet him on the day he entered the city, or the officials and big families who felt strange in his head, so he calmly said the next name. Wang Qiang, who had a few points in his heart, turned out and informed the person he wanted to be received by his master.
The medium-sized deputy envoy from the five-grade salt transportation department, Wang Qiang walked into the hall with him, saluted Lin Zimo, and sat down. Ji Xiaojuan, who is very sensible, withdraws a person's tea when she sees a person leaving, and a person comes to make a person's tea. Although it is a job to serve people, the servants who can still walk into the hall are all Lin Zimo's confidants.
Vice envoy Feng, who picked up the tea and took a sip of it, showed his composure and bluntly stated his identity: "Since Lord Lin is Han Zhongcheng's student, we are our own people. To tell you the truth, I am also an old man's doorman. That day, you went to Guiping City to take office, and I happened to go out, so it's a pity that I didn't welcome you. Two days ago, I just returned to Guiping City, just in time for you to clean up Liu Tiger, the doorman of the world.
Lin Zimo, who can't justify whether it is true or false for a moment, still believes what he said. After all, who is his doorman, can't be sexually promisted. He inevitably needs to deal with it a little bit: "Since we are all old men, if there is really something wrong with me, you might as well say it directly. If I can do it, I will never refuse."
"I didn't come here because I was involved in the Liu Tiger case." Vice Envoy Feng, who took out a 3,000 taels of silver ticket from his arms, directly expressed his heart and said, "I have been in Guiping City for nearly five years, and I am half a master. Since you have come here to be the chief officer, I have to enter into the friendship of landlords. During this period, I know you will be very busy, but I still can't forget the etiquette.
Lin Zimo, who didn't go to see the silver ticket denomination, knew that he was both fat and short, and smiled gently: "We are all our own people. Why should we be so polite? If you really want to be so rude, it makes me feel rude.
Vice Envoy Feng, who has been in the officialdom for so many years, knows that he is polite and knows that this silver is the harmony between people. The errands of salt transportation will certainly make many people jealous. Although his official rank is not high, he is definitely Han Yong's confidant, otherwise he would never sit on this fat man.
"You are new here, and there must be a lot of things to add, so you don't have to be polite to me." Vice Envoy Feng, who was measured in his heart, suddenly stood up and said, "If it's not enough, you just need to send someone to me to get two pieces of silver. I think Lord Belin is busy with official business, so it's inconvenient to disturb you again.
Lin Zimo, who got up immediately, sent him out of the hall in person, and then bowed to each other. He turned around and came back, picked up the silver ticket and took a look, and smiled faintly. The reason why he treated Feng so politely was not that he was worth the price, but that Han Yong behind him was worth the price. Although everyone is under Han Yong's door, their thoughts are different.
The reason why Lin Zimo chose to invest under Han Yong's door is not only that he needs to be strong because he is weak, but also wants to use his voice to become his clear backer and *. With a clear heart, he has long been soberly aware that the reason why Han Yong is willing to accept himself as a student is that he has useful value. Lin Zimo, who has long realized a truth, believes that it is not pitiful to be used, but the value of not being used is the most pathetic. It is more appropriate to say that the relationship between himself and Han Yong is not so much that they are teachers and students. As for the relationship between him and Han Caiyi, it is naturally not a real brother-sister relationship.
Lin Zimo casually threw this 3,000 taels of silver ticket to Wang Qiang and said, "Take it and share it with your brothers."
Wang Qiang, who did not refuse or say thank you, took the silver ticket with both hands and took it into his arms and said, "Master, who else do you want to see?"
"Since I have met two officials, I will see another official again." Lin Zimo, who stretched out, moved his body and was ready to see a subordinate who was going to Zhao Wenxuan's barracks in the end. He continued his unfinished work yesterday and said, "I always have to give low-grade officials a chance, so this time I will meet the Zhengjiupin general judge."
Wang Qiang, who understood, turned around and left again, and hit a yawning Lin Zimo. He saw that Ji Xiaojuan was busy withdrawing tea and making tea again, "You don't have to be so troublesome at all. Anyway, if you make it, they won't drink it. Just bring this tea again. What are you so good about those bastards? It's completely unnecessary."
Looking up at his Ji Xiaojuan, she asked hesitantly, "This is not good!"
"What's wrong? Just do as I say." Lin Zimo, who didn't intend to change his mind, said unconcealedly, "Now, you just spit in front of them, and they will say it's delicious."
After saying that, he took the tea cup and spit in it, and handed it back to Ji Xiaojuan, who was laughing with trembling. She nodded her little head and said, "Then, I will follow the master's method!"
Lin Zimo, who said 'Go', smiled on his face, and then sat back in his chair and picked up the tea to continue tasting. It is extremely clear in my heart. At this time, the officials and big men who came here are basically people who have done bad things in their hearts. If they really don't have ghosts in their hearts and don't do bad things, they won't be shocked if they knock on the door in the middle of the night. Why do they have to come here looking for boredom? Lin Zimo, who was initially well-informed, still wanted to take this opportunity to rectify the internal affairs of Guiping City, otherwise it would be difficult for him to free himself to cooperate with the Ming court to suppress the rebels hiding in Xunzhou Prefecture.
Governor Lin, with a smile and a flattering face, followed Wang Qiang closely and walked into the hall. Standing outside all the time, he thought he would see Lin Zimo very later. After all, his official rank was really low. He saw some people come out with an unlucky face, while others left with a clear expression. Governor Lin, who felt that his misfortune and blessings were uncertain, was extremely worried.
Lin Zimo motioned him to sit down and speak, but Governor Lin, who did not dare to sit down, hurriedly put what he was holding in his hand, respectfully put it on the coffee table next to the magistrate's table, carefully opened the lid of the box, and explained, "This thing is from the lower official. I hope you will accept the passed down objects.
Lin Zimo noticed that the object in the box was a fan, so he took it out of the box and unfolded the fan to have a look. A landscape painting was immediately presented in front of my eyes. Although it is not painted by famous artists, the whole picture is like a fairyland. He noticed that the fan bones were snow-white, and his hand felt a cool feeling.
Governor Lin saw Lin's love for the small things he sent, so he was a little bold and said, "Your Excellency, the fan bones of this fan are all made of ivory, so there will be a cool feeling when you touch it."
Listening to what he said made Lin Zimo's heart clear. Ji Xiaojuan, who came in from the outside, brought tea with her hands that was spit on by her master. She sent the tea cup to the nearest coffee table near Governor Lin and put it away. He was not in a hurry to leave, but wanted to confirm Lin Zimo's words, so he stood aside and waited quietly.
Seeing that Lin Zimo, who didn't go out, suddenly understood Xiao Nizi's thoughts and said very cooperatively, "Don't stand and talk. How about sitting down and tasting my tea here?"
Governor Lin, who was a little flattered, picked up the tea with his hands and took three sips without looking at it. He praised, "Good tea, it's really good tea. The tea of the magistrate's house is the best tea I have ever drunk.
Ji Xiaojuan, standing next to her, was already very happy. In order not to laugh, she lost her rudeness and turned her whole face red. I never thought that Lin Zimo, the man I secretly fell in love with, would play tricks on others like this. Instead of getting tired of him, she thought he was interesting and approachable.
Governor Lin, who did not notice the strangeness, put down the tea cup, suddenly knelt on the ground, and said shamelessly: "The magistrate's surname is Lin, and the humble surname is also Lin. The adult is a member of Xunzhou Prefecture, and the humble position is also a member of Xunzhou Prefecture. The first time I saw you, I was like seeing my father. If Lord Lin doesn't mind, please accept me as your son.
Ji Xiaojuan and Wang Qiang were stunned for a moment. Governor Lin in front of them looks like more than 50 people, and their grandfather is only 20 years old. According to common sense, their master's age can be a grandson for the man who kneels on the ground and kowtowed. Lin Zimo, who played with the fan in his hand, has seen shameless people in his previous life and life, but it is still the first time that he has seen such a shameless and shameless person. I don't admire him for nothing, as long as I climb the spirit of climbing dragons and phoenixes.
Lin Zimo coughed gently and couldn't laugh and said, "Governor Lin, it's really inappropriate for you to do this!"
"The humble position and the adults are both surnamed Lin, and they are people of the same place. As long as you check the genealogy, you will definitely find that we are from the same family, and the people in the family can adopt sons from each other." Governor Lin, with a frank face and tears in his eyes, still knelt on the ground and did not intend to get up, so he said loudly, "Your father is here. Please accept your son's three worship."
As soon as his words fell, he kowtowed three times to Lin Zimo, who was sitting in the circle chair.
