Magistrate Su looked at his former senior brother and said awkwardly: "Not long ago, His Majesty was transferred to Anding County as the magistrate of Anding County."
The Prime Minister of Zhao County on the side cupped his hands and said: "I have met Mr. Li Yuanwai."
Li Yi raised his hands out of politeness but looked at Zhao Xian Cheng with a puzzled look on his face: "Do you know me?"
Zhaoxian Cheng said: "Master Li, a member of the Department of Household Affairs Branch, has a very resounding name. I should know it by heart."
Not surprisingly, no matter which official he met, as long as his rank was higher than his, he would always say something like this.
If we can’t offend you, why can’t we praise you?
Anyway, I’m smiling, so you can’t just be cold-hearted, right?
Although I haven't been promoted in ten years, I clearly remember in my little notebook how many officials who are higher than myself in the capital, what they like and what their names are!
Magistrate Su coughed and said, "This is County Magistrate Zhao of Anding County Government."
After hearing this, Li Yi also returned the courtesy and said: "It turns out to be Zhao County Cheng. I have admired you for a long time."
Zhao Xian Cheng: "I have admired you for a long time..."
The two people's confusing operations made Magistrate Su on the side look at him for a moment. Although his senior brother is now an official of the Hubu Du Branch, he is only on the sixth rank and is not the same as his Beijing counterpart.
The county magistrates of the suburban counties are almost the same, and the Zhao county magistrate is several levels lower than me. They two have looked up to each other for a long time!
He’s not a big shot, so what do you have to look up to for a long time?
Suddenly I felt that there were two patients standing in front of me...
Zhao Xiancheng was naturally very discerning in being able to stay stable in Anding County Government for such a long time. Seeing such an unusual scene of the reunion between brothers, he knew that he was already a bit redundant.
So Zhaoxian Cheng held up his hands and said: "Master Li, Master Su, Xiaguan suddenly remembered that there are some things going on at Xiaguan's family, and wanted to go home early to have a look. I'm afraid it won't be inconvenient to accompany you two adults anymore."
Magistrate Su nodded and said, "Please, Mr. Zhao."
…
It would be an exaggeration to say that with such a considerate and knowledgeable subordinate, even a dog could lie down in the position of County Magistrate Anding!
Why is it exaggerated?
Yes, it is true that the Zhaoxian Prime Minister does things impeccably, but the level and efficiency of handling official affairs really need to be improved!
There are so many official tasks waiting for Magistrate Su to work overtime to solve...
No wonder he is still in the position of county magistrate after ten years!
The capital city is deep in water, and it doesn't have any hard power or good background. If you want to rely on observation and flattery to get to the top, it's still a little bit behind.
After County Magistrate Zhao left, Magistrate Su smiled softly and said, "Congratulations to my senior brother for being promoted to Yuanwailang of the Department of Hubu Branch."
Li Yi slapped his raised hand down: "Okay, the rank of the magistrate of Anding is about the same as mine. Why did you get such a high promotion? You didn't expect that you were quietly transferred to Anding County to be the magistrate. And you are the magistrate of Anding County."
Did His Majesty order it with his own hand?"
Magistrate Su couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart.
Yes, the two have similar levels, but their actual power is far different!
Magistrate Su is just an official from a county on the outskirts of Beijing, but this senior is a real official from the capital!
If possible, Magistrate Su would like to ask this senior brother, right? Are you willing to change with me?
Only a fool would give it up...
Li Yi suddenly thought of something and suddenly said: "By the way, you just said that you are the magistrate of Anding County. Anding County now has an owner. Although the Anding County uncle has never seen his true face, whether he is in the capital or
Even in the imperial court, the reputation is extremely resounding, especially since the Anding County uncle is also in charge of the National Business Academy, which is known as the Small Household Department. You have to be careful in Anding County and don't provoke this Anding County uncle, otherwise,
With the current reputation and power of this Anding County uncle, no one in this capital can protect you."
Magistrate Su nodded and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for your concern. I will remember it."
Li Yi snorted: "Huh! Don't be sentimental here, I don't miss you! You are Xiaoyu's husband, if anything happens to you, Xiaoyu will also be implicated."
At this point, Li Yi slowed down his tone again and asked: "By the way, is Xiaoyu okay? I haven't seen you for so many years..."
At this moment, County Magistrate Su coughed and said: "By the way, senior brother, I suddenly remembered that there are some things at home. We, senior brothers, will get together some other time. We will get together some other time."
After saying that, Magistrate Su raised his feet and walked in the direction of Anding County Government Office.
Li Yi quickly stopped Magistrate Su and said, "Don't change the day. I think today is very good. The sun is shining brightly, the wind is gentle, and it coincides with the holiday. There is no other day more suitable than today."
"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Li Yi: "Father."
Following the direction of the voice, Magistrate Su saw a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a scholar's Confucian robe, standing behind Li Yi.
Li Yi turned back to look at the young man. The joy on his face to meet his classmates suddenly turned indifferent and asked: "What's the matter?"
The young man in the scholar's robe lowered his head and said, "My son, come and invite your father back for dinner."
Li Yi glanced at him and said, "No need, I am going to my junior brother's house for dinner today."
County Magistrate Su was stunned when he heard this senior brother's speech: "Brother, I don't seem to have said that I would treat you to dinner..."
Li Yi turned back to look at Magistrate Su and said, "Did you just say you wanted to treat me?"
Magistrate Su repeated: "I'll treat you to a meal..."
Li Yi nodded happily and said: "Okay, since my junior brother has said so, then it is better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders. Alas, the teacher said at the beginning that Xiaoyu's cooking is simply the best in the world. Today I finally have the opportunity.
Let’s have a taste.”
Magistrate Su County was stunned for a moment. How could this person be so shameless!
It’s almost as good as the son-in-law in my own family!
Without waiting for Magistrate Su to refuse, Li Yi put his arm around Magistrate Su's shoulders and said, "Come, come, take a walk, we haven't been together for a long time."
Then he glanced at the young man in Confucian robes who was stunned in place and said, "You can come here too."
…
on the road
Seeing that Li Yi couldn't stop him, Magistrate Su finally gave up. There are some things you always need to know...
Li Yi was now very satisfied with Magistrate Su's performance and couldn't help but have more expectations in his heart.
At first, the two of them were the teacher's most proud disciples, and they fell in love with the teacher's daughter at the same time.
But... apart from having a better face, how can Su Jiyuan compare to me?! How could Xiaoyu be so superficial and follow him?!
The teacher didn’t even object!
He was so angry!
He became even more angry when he thought that this person could eat hot meals cooked by Xiaoyu every day!
It’s hard to live with a lifetime of grief!
Today he wanted to go see if Xiaoyu was doing well with him.
If this man named Su was not good to Xiaoyu, he could immediately return home, divorce his wife, and then take Xiaoyu over!
