The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 111 Close Relatives
Inside the value room in the west wing of the handyman's office.

Official Zhao Jiujin was doing calculations with one hand, and copying the data with the other.

Seeing that the prime minister, Liu Changyou, came in from the outside with his hands behind his back, Zhao Jiujin hurriedly wrote a sign, stuck it on the abacus with his saliva on it, got up and said respectfully, "Master, do you have something to ask?"

On the opposite side, Xu Dabao, who was leading a few book offices to write off the miscellaneous funds of various factories, also stood up with a sad face at the same time: "Uncle, you won't have to stay up late again today, right?"

"It is to be boiled, but not to be boiled in the yamen."

Liu Changyou looked around, and asked again: "Where's Wu Limu?"

Zhao Jiujin hurriedly said, "Maybe he's pickling things next door, isn't it winter soon?"

Liu Changyou left the two of them alone and ignored them, and found a small room with a single door in the southwest corner of the courtyard by himself.

After entering the door, he saw Wu Tianci with his head covered tightly, only two small eyes showing, standing in front of several sauce jars, busy picking something up.

"Wu Limu?"

Liu Changyou greeted with a smile.

Wu Tianci glanced back at him, but pointed out the door bluntly, signaling Liu Changyou to go out and wait.

And Liu Changyou also changed his previous high profile in front of Zhao Jiujin and Xu Dabao, obediently retreated to the door, and waited another half a quarter of an hour before Wu Tianci came out from inside.

"Whoo~"

Wu Tianci took off his mask, revealing his plump face, which was not a few years younger than Liu Changyou, and let out a long breath, then asked Liu Changyou sideways, "It's rare for Liu Suocheng to find me, Could it be that there is some errand?"

"Don't dare."

Liu Changyou hurriedly cupped his hands at him, and said with a smile: "I just watched, Deputy Zhao and Mr. Jiao probably sang a reconciliation between generals and prime ministers, and I thought that we should make up for the welcome banquet."

"Let's do it, no matter how you put it, it's Shangguan's appointment as a new official. This reception banquet should be organized."

Wu Tianci agreed casually, and then wiped his hands to calculate: "I'm afraid I won't be able to make it today, but the Chief Song of the Ordnance Department will celebrate his birthday tomorrow, so I agreed half a month ago, so it's really hard to turn it down—— Let's wait until the day after tomorrow, I will make arrangements for the day after tomorrow, and I will guarantee that Master Jiao will be satisfied."

Liu Changyou nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow!"

As a result, before he finished speaking, Wu Tianci went away on his own.

Liu Changyou was not annoyed, he put his hands behind his back again, and slowly returned to the East Chamber.

As soon as he disappeared into the courtyard, Shuan Zhu, who had been spying on the main room for a long time, slipped into the room and shouted as if he had discovered a new world: "Come... my lord! Guess what I saw just now?"

Before Jiao Shun could respond, he gesticulated again and said, "Liu Suocheng asked Wu Limu for something, his face was full of wrinkles, and he burst out laughing, I've never seen him like this in front of you." Pass!"

As he spoke, he inquired curiously: "But isn't this prime minister bigger than the officials?"

Jiao Shunzheng made further edits and transcriptions based on the manuscript written by Zhao Yan. After hearing what Shuan Zhu said, he said indifferently: "Then Wu Tianci was born as an imperial cook, and because of his bad temper, he offended his colleagues, so he was reduced to a Let's be petty officials here."

"Now he is famous in the Ministry of Industry with his Huaiyang cuisine. Even the Minister of the Minister has to ask him to take the spoon. Although Liu Changyou is the prime minister, how dare he belittle him?"

Before coming to this handyman's office, Jiao Shun thought that the literati group must be suppressing and exploiting craftsmen in an all-round way, but after he took office, he realized that his previous thinking was biased.

Although the literati group has dominated the middle and upper-level channels, the craftsmen and officials are also deeply rooted at the grassroots level.

For example, among the three officials, Zhao Jiujin was Liu Changyou's apprentice, and Xu Dabao's Lao Tzu and Liu Changyou were sworn brothers.

After careful inquiry, the previous prime minister was Liu Changyou's tutor.

To put it bluntly, their lineage is rooted in the handyman's office, and they have formed a circle of inbreeding, which can be called an endless shortage of disciples and grandchildren.

Only Wu Tianci was considered an outsider, but his status was quite detached.

"Royal chef?"

Shuan Zhu stuck out his tongue, and wondered: "Our handyman's office actually has an imperial cook? Since he even recognizes the minister's servant, why doesn't he ask for an official to do it?"

Only then did Jiao Shun raise his head and rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "You can become an official easily? Have you ever heard of Junziyuan? Otherwise, who would give up the handle for the sake of tongue?"

After a pause, he added: "Besides, with his arrogant temper, becoming an official may not be a good thing."

Seeing Shuan Zhu half-understanding, Jiao Shun didn't bother to explain any more, so he waved his hand and said, "Go outside and watch, I'm still busy here."

"Oh."

Shuan Zhu replied weakly, and was about to turn his head to go out when Jiao Shun suddenly called him again: "Wait! You go to Xun Zheng's relatives and follow Shan Daliang to listen. If Mr. Zheng has no other arrangements at night, Just say that I want to come to ask for some business advice."

As soon as Shuan Zhu heard that he didn't need to stay in the house any longer, Busy Monkey hurriedly responded, and hurried out.

This little bunny!
Jiao Shun shook his head helplessly, and then began to lower his head and think hard, thinking about how to make some half-dark omissions, so that Jia Zheng could pick out the faults in person and propose solutions.

The former is easier to say, but the latter...

Jia Zheng is typical of high-sightedness and low-handedness. He asked him to find ways to solve practical problems, but he was afraid that it would be difficult for others.

That's all~
Let's try to dig two 'holes' first. If he still can't think of an idea to fill the hole based on the context, then he can't blame himself for not giving him a chance to reprimand Fang Qiu.

…………

After getting Jia Zheng's affirmative reply, after San Ya returned home, Jiao Shun was going to look for Jia Zheng's "Ya Zheng" with the letter of proposal for three changes.

This is to satisfy Jia Zheng's desire to guide the country and continue to consolidate the relationship between the two parties; secondly, to eliminate the influence of going to Dongkua Yuan Jia She for a banquet yesterday.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he changed into his regular clothes at home, Mrs. Xu rushed over and asked him what he had promised in front of Mrs. Xing yesterday.

"How could I promise her anything?"

Jiao Shun called Qu and said, "Besides, she is mysterious, and she didn't say what the happy event was."

Only then did Mrs. Xu feel relieved, and taught her son the gossip in the mansion.

Jiao Shun did not expect that there would be so many people in the mansion, which coincided with his initial thought.

But this is mainly because the Jia Shexing and Xing couples usually act absurdly, if Mrs. Wang had said this, no one would have doubted Tanchun.

At this time, I heard Mrs. Xu say again: "Later the old lady came forward and asked her, and she said that she wanted to find a marriage for her niece."

Mother's niece?

Isn't that what Xing is smoking?

Jiao Shun vaguely remembered that this girl was an excellent girl, but with relatives like Mrs. Xing around, she couldn't be called a good match.

Of course, it would be great if you are willing to be a concubine!
Seeing her son's pensive look, Mrs. Xu hurriedly shoved him, and said: "Your father and I are pointing to you being a good relative in the future, so don't be foolish and answer her! "

"Mom, don't worry!"

Jiao Shun hurriedly said perfunctorily: "If it's really the second girl in the family, I might have to think about it. How dare I respond to this unknown Miss Xing family?"

As he spoke, he showed the manuscript in his hand to Mrs. Xu: "I still have some business matters. I have made an appointment to consult with Mr. Zheng. Look..."

Hearing that he was going to ask for 'official affairs', Mrs. Xu hurriedly called for Yu Chuan'er to accompany her, and sent her son out of the house in person.

Speechless all the way.

Thinking of going to Jia Zheng's side, he cut straight to the point and talked directly about the business.

Whoever thought of the gate of the courtyard saw Jia Baoyu leading Xiren and Qingwen outside the gate impatiently.
