lied to Kangxi

Chapter 16
Three days before the exam, Zhao Donghe, the scholar Tang Bing had won, and the current magistrate of Daxing County, sent someone to post a post under the banner of his fellow apprentice, asking Yuzhu to come to the banquet tomorrow.

Under normal circumstances, the county magistrate is the seventh grade.However, Wanping County and Daxing County belong to "Jing County", and the county magistrates are both Zhengliupin.

Although the magistrate of Jing County is attached to the capital, it is a lot of trouble.However, as long as the rich and powerful are dealt with well, the promotion will be extremely fast.

It is no exaggeration to say that anyone who can become the magistrate of Daxing County has strong backing.

As the saying goes, there are only three things, and you don't hit the smiling person with your hand, and you have the friendship of a teacher. Yuzhu has pushed twice before, and this time he nodded in agreement.

Zhao Donghe made an appointment in the afternoon, but did not specify the exact time. No matter when Yuzhu passed by, he would not be considered late.

Since Zhao Donghe is so knowledgeable, Yuzhu is also willing to give him face, lest he wait for an afternoon in vain.

At the second quarter of Shen Shi, Yu Zhu arrived at the agreed place by car, Zhao Donghe was in a courtyard in Jiufang Hutong in the city.

After getting the reward, Zhao Donghe greeted him outside the gate with a smile, cupped his hands and said: "Junior brother is a man of temperament, Brother Yu, I won't say those hypocritical polite words, everything is here." He beat his chest lightly.

Sure enough, he is a character with long sleeves and good at dancing!
Yuzhu smiled and said: "Senior Brother Lao has waited for a long time, I will punish myself three cups later, as an apology."

Interpersonal communication is basically about exchanging interests and giving each other face.Since Yu Zhu came, he naturally hoped that the atmosphere would be better.

Zhao Donghe took a deep look at Yuzhu, laughed, and said, "I'll accompany you to punish wine."

The kung fu of saving face and making muddy mud is first-rate.

When walking in, even if Yuzhu just smiled and said nothing, Zhao Donghe could still pick up some embarrassing things in his childhood and make them funny, as if he and Yuzhu had known each other for many years.

Wu Jiang who was following behind, although he had seen some things in the world, how could he know that there was someone like Zhao Donghe who didn't regard himself as an outsider at all?

This other courtyard was specially set up by Zhao Donghe for the convenience of entertaining distinguished guests after he became the magistrate of Daxing County.

Zhao Donghe's rank is not high, but his real power is not small.Daxing County was originally a place where great businessmen from various provinces gathered, so his eunuch's pocket was naturally full.

Since Yuzhu was born, he has never looked at anyone or been angry with anyone.Even if he wanted to cultivate the ability to be good at dancing, he didn't have that environment.

Since the age of ten, Yu Zhu has followed a basic principle: it is better to be silent than to say anything.

Zhao Donghe's saliva was dry, but Yuzhu just nodded and smiled frequently, always holding the attitude of listening more and talking less, which made people have a headache.

It's completely different from the arrogant Tong family, isn't it?

Zhao Donghe suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and invited Yuzhu into the West Flower Hall, which was specially used to receive honored guests.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Zhao Donghe clapped his hands lightly, and saw two unusually beautiful twin girls coming lightly with tea trays.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the twin girls serving tea, Zhao Donghe observed quietly, Yu Zhu seemed to be fine, and didn't even look at the two of them.

Zhao Donghe was just a Jinshi at the bottom of the top three. He failed the entrance examination and was sent to the Ministry.

In just three years, Zhao Donghe was promoted to the sixth grade magistrate of Daxing County, relying on his quick mind and observation of words and demeanor.

Zhao Donghe's eyes are extremely poisonous, after touching them a few times, he will be able to find out his weaknesses and then do what he likes.Otherwise, the big backer would appreciate him so much?
Yuzhu was not interested in the twin girls, Zhao Donghe rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a new trick.

As long as you are a person, you always have hobbies, and hobbies are your weakness.Some people love money, some people are lustful, and some people like antique calligraphy and painting, these are all easy to handle.

Unfortunately, Zhao Donghe couldn't see through Yuzhu's preferences for a while, so it was difficult.

The servants here are well-trained clever ghosts, and they often only need to wink over, and they will know how to please their master.

When Yuzhu picked up the teacup, the ethereal ancient clang suddenly sounded in the yard.

He doesn't have much musical talent, but he can roughly hear it, like "House of Flying Daggers"?
Seeing Yuzhu listening intently to the song, Zhao Donghe couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, as long as you have hobbies, as long as you have hobbies!
After playing a song, Zhao Donghe said with a smile: "Sister She likes to play the piano, she didn't know that you came and disturbed the distinguished guests, please forgive me."

Yuzhu smiled, there is no reason to let her own sister show her face in front of people, maybe she is a false sister, right?
Seeing through the matter on the scene without telling the truth, Yuzhu simply pretended to be confused and did not continue.

Originally, Zhao Donghe was waiting for Yu Zhu to praise him for his good playing, and took advantage of the opportunity to lead the beauty out so that Yu Zhu could meet him.

Who would have thought that Yuzhu played cards out of common sense.Zhao Donghe punched the cotton, and immediately lost any leverage, which made him somewhat resentful.

Zhao Donghe knew that Yu Zhu was still young, so sending him a few beautiful maidservants was not for him to hug and enjoy immediately, but for him to transfer to other nobles.

In these years, among the rich and powerful, giving each other beautiful maids, concubines or young husbands is simply too common to be worth mentioning.

Although Zhao Donghe had been waiting in the mansion, he did not expect that Yuzhu would come so early.

The accompanying guests who had been appointed in advance hadn't arrived yet, and it was not easy to send someone to remind him, so Zhao Donghe could only be patient, put forth his hard work, and tried his best not to make Yuzhu feel bored.

In Zhao Donghe's capacity, Yu Zhu came here at the appointment, which is to show great face.

Yuzhu is not someone who just picks up posts, and he doesn't have much time to waste on meaningless social interactions.

After all, Zhao Donghe is the local snake in Daxing County, Yuzhu came to make a good relationship today, maybe he will be useful in the future.

When Zhao Donghe brought the topic back to Tang Bing, Yuzhu was obviously willing to talk more, and he couldn't help secretly regretting that he took a long detour.

"Junior brother, regarding the imperial examination, I have only one experience, guess the questions in advance, then make hundreds of extra papers, and memorize them all."

Zhao Donghe knew very well in his heart that Tang Bing was very knowledgeable, proficient in Manchu and Mongolian, and good at being a man, but his official position has been stagnant, mainly because he has no strong backing to help him.

How could it be such a coincidence that someone who hadn't touched it for almost ten years was studying as a fifth-rank servant, but after accepting Yuzhu, an in-house disciple, he was immediately promoted to the fifth-rank Zuo Shuzi?
More importantly, with the title of going to the study and becoming the teacher of the princes, this status is precious.

Yuzhu is definitely worth investing a lot of money in!
After so many years of soliciting connections through the back door, Zhao Donghe realized a truth, clinging to the powerful to climb up, don't be afraid of losing face.

You don't have a thick skin, how can you climb up?
