Bai Shan and Zhou Man hurried to Qingzhou City, and the Dragon Boat Festival activities in Qingzhou City had just ended, and the magistrates of all counties arrived in Qingzhou City one day in advance, so they were lucky to participate in the activities with Governor Guo.
After the event, Governor Guo simply took them to a restaurant for lunch. They were full and sat drinking tea and chatting. A yamen servant quietly came to report, "The governor, the magistrate Bai of Beihai County and the doctor of Qingzhou Mr. Zhou from the Department has arrived, and he is currently in the Governor’s Mansion.”
Governor Guo checked the time and found that the two of them came an hour earlier than expected, slightly satisfied, nodded and said: "Please come here."
Then let the shopkeeper of the restaurant serve a new pot of tea.
The other county magistrates who were sitting together couldn't help but glance at each other, and then secretly looked at the county magistrate Lu who was beside him.
County magistrate Lu sat with his eyes down, his nose looking at his heart, as if he couldn't see everyone's gaze.
Inspector Guo was already happy to introduce Bai Shan Zhouman to everyone first, "Magistrate Bai just took office this year, and this is his first Dragon Boat Festival after taking office, so they have an event in the county, so they arrived a little later than everyone , Fortunately, we are having a dinner, so there is no delay."
The county magistrates: ...as if they are not the first year to take office, and it is not the first year to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with the people in the county.
It is County Magistrate Lu, who is also the new magistrate of Yidu County, not the old one.
Governor Guo looked at the crowd with a smile and said: "Speaking of which, Magistrate Bai is the youngest magistrate among you. If it’s incomplete, please give him more pointers.”
All the county magistrates took a knowing blow, and even the county magistrate Lu felt that an arrow had been stabbed in his heart. In other words, although they had experience in exile, Bai Shan's official position before the exile was not only noble but also high-quality, how could they give advice? others
And they are all county magistrates now, except for Governor Guo, who is qualified to give advice to the other side
The county magistrate Lu who was sitting next to Guo Cishi sighed in his heart, as expected, Bai Shan's prediction was correct, Guo Cishi wanted to raise Bai Shan to suppress him.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man quickly rushed over from the governor's mansion.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, Governor Guo got up, and the others could only get up to greet them.
Governor Guo was very measured, he saluted Zhou Man first, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Zhou's demeanor is even better than before."
Zhou Man laughed and said, "The governor has become more energetic."
After asking Zhou Man, Governor Guo looked at Bai Shan.
This was the first time he saw Bai Shan, so he couldn't help but look him up and down, and saw that he was wearing a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern round lapel, with two milky white suet kylin jade pendants hanging on his waist, standing with a smile on his face. In front of his eyes, it was like a bright moon and a clear breeze, even he couldn't help admiring and joying in his heart.
Guo Inspector secretly said: Fortunately, it is not in the capital, and there are no female relatives in this private room, otherwise I don't know how many women's hearts will be taken away.
It's the same as when Yang Heshu was popular in Beijing.
Everyone has a love of beauty, and Governor Guo is no exception. He looked at Bai Shan, then at Zhou Man, only to find that the concubine-colored feather gauze dress she was wearing looked playful and lively. No wonder he felt that Zhou Man was even more beautiful when he saw it today. Better than the past, it turned out to be the lining of the clothes.
It looked like he had been dressed up specially. Guo Cishi’s banquet was so valued by others, he was naturally happy, so he was even more happy, and couldn’t help but praised: “When I was in the capital, I heard people talk about Baixian’s banquet. His appearance is not inferior to Yang Changbo, and it is indeed so at a glance today."
Bai Shan couldn't help being embarrassed, "The governor is too famous, how can I compare with brother Yang?" Is he and brother Yang the same face
What they lack is a mother!
I heard that Xuexiong Yang's mother was once recognized as the most beautiful woman in the capital, so if he looks as good-looking as Xuexiong Yang, he will not only have to be reborn, but also have to change his parents.
The County Magistrate Lu and the others standing in the box didn't have any mood swings at all. They raised their eyelids and glanced at Bai Shan's fair face, and sneered in their hearts. Sure enough, the fair faces were all the same. Just to make people praise.
They had never seen Yang Heshu before, and thought that Bai Shan was already very good-looking.
Governor Guo didn't care what they were thinking, he smiled happily for a while, then reached out and patted Bai Shan's shoulder and said: "You are self-effacing, even if it is not as good as it is, it is not much worse, and the two of you still have a good relationship." They are all well-read poems and books, and they are full of talent."
Governor Guo smiled and asked: "I remember County Magistrate Bai used to live in Mianzhou, so he should be very familiar with Governor Yang."
When he was in the capital, he had heard people say that Bai Shan had a very good relationship with Yang He and Shu Tang He. In the official circles, his wife Zhou Man was the closest to them.
Governor Guo sighed in his heart, he became an official ten years earlier than Yang and Shu Tang He, but he did not expect that their current official positions are similar.
Even in terms of influence, he is not as good as the two of them.
Inspector Guo sighed in his heart, but he was also fate, so he smiled and pulled Bai Shanzhou to the table.
Bai Shan was about to explain his relationship with Yang and Shu, but seeing Governor Guo didn't seem to care much, he closed his mouth, saluted with a smile, and then entered the table.
Governor Guo pulled Bai Shan to sit on the right hand side, and County Magistrate Lu, who was originally sitting on the left hand side of Guo Governor, could only move down one seat to Zhou Man.
Because in this room now, apart from Governor Guo, only Zhou Man has the highest official position.
The county magistrates saw that Governor Guo clearly favored Bai Shan, and felt a little sour in their hearts, but soon couldn't help but secretly went to see magistrate Lu.
What are they
Governor Guo didn't think much of them at first, but County Magistrate Lu is different.
County magistrate Lu must be suffering more than them at the moment, as long as there is one person who suffers more than them, they will feel much better.
Seeing the expressionless Magistrate Lu, all the county magistrates exhaled, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, they were also happy, and they pricked up their ears to listen to what Guo Cishi and Bai Shan were talking about.
Governor Guo and Bai Shan were talking about the people and events in the capital. Although the county magistrates present had all been to the capital and even met the emperor, in terms of understanding of the emperor, no one could compare to Guo Governor and Bai Shan.
So they pricked up their ears to listen, and if they heard a little more now, it might come in handy in the future.
Governor Guo had heard people mention Zhou Man and Bai Shan long before he left Beijing. He had met Zhou Man before, she was indeed a woman different from ordinary women, but seeing that Bai Shan was well-deserved, he couldn't help but talk to them. This couple has a good relationship.
So while talking, he started talking about relatives.
Governor Guo smiled and said: "... I really didn't meet you two, but it's a pity that I couldn't go to Beijing in person when Huan'er got married. It would be great if I went to the capital to meet you two at that time."
Bai Shan then smiled and said: "It's not too late to see you again today, although it's late, but I'm still impressed by your demeanor."
Man Bao couldn't help but shuddered slightly, thinking that his flattery was too sensual, but Guo Cishi was very happy, and smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.
