Chapter 28 Visits and Tests (two short chapters)
The next day, Yuan Wenshu packed up early in the morning and went to the Duke of Qin's mansion. Yesterday, he sent someone to send a message to him, and today he went to the Duke of Qin's mansion to show respect.
When he arrived at the gate of the Duke of Qin, he opened the middle door with great confidence. You should know that under normal circumstances, the middle door was not open. For example, Yuan Wenshu could only enter through the corner door on weekdays, and treatment like today is rare.
But Yuan Wenshu knew that this treatment was not for nothing. Today's treatment was for the future helmsman of Northwest. The reason why he could enjoy it now is because he is a candidate now.
He had to go through the test to truly have this treatment, instead of the temporary Yuan Wenshu cheering himself up in his heart and walking slowly in.
Under the guidance of the servant, he finally arrived at Suwei Hall, where Qin State is a fair day to discuss matters. As soon as he entered the hall, Yuan Wenshu found that there were many people in the hall at this time. The people sitting in the main seat had gray hair and a majestic look on their faces.
Yuan Wenshu immediately bowed to the master and said, "Yuan Wenshu paid homage to the prince and then made another circle to pay homage to all the seniors."
At this time, the Duke of Qin in the main position also put away his serious expression and said, "Okay, I heard from Boy Gan that you are just a monkey. Your grandfather would call me brother when he saw me. In a flash, you are so old, you are really old."
"Oh? Then aren't you my uncle?"
Yuan Wenshu knelt down and bowed: "Great visits to uncle."
At this moment, everyone in the hall was shocked by this scene. This kid was so shameless? Not to mention that even the Duke of Qin was confused by this.
But after all, I spoke directly after experiencing the storm: "Since that's the case, why don't I recognize your grandson? Why don't I do it if I have such an excellent grandson?"
Then he got up and helped Yuan Wenshu up, and while helping him, he said, "Get up quickly, be good grandson, don't be tired just now, you can find a place to sit down and rest."
At this time, everyone in the hall woke up as if they were dreaming. Looking at the happy scene of the grandfather and grandson, they even saw the shadow of Duke Qin when he was young in Yuan Wenshu.
That's right, Duke Qin also looked like a scoundrel when he was young. He never knew what face was. This is also the most troublesome thing for civil servants. How terrible is a Duke who doesn't know what face is?
As long as he could earn a little benefit to the northwest, the Duke of Qin could massage the cabinet's chief minister in front of the civil and military officials of the court. That is, after that, there would be one doctor in the northwest.
The reason why the Duke of Qin recognized Yuan Wenshu so happily was because what Yuan Wenshu did just now was too much like he was when he was young, and he was as shameless as he didn't care what others thought of him.
At this time, Duke Qin had almost determined that this was the helm of the Northwest needed, but he did not say that after all, personality is whether the personality is enough, and it still needs to be tested.
"I'll introduce these people to you, my good grandson."
Then Yuan Wenshu began to pay various salutes, including five people from the Western Suburbs, four people from the gatekeepers, six ministries and seven people, and the commander of the North City of the Five City Military Commanders.
Of course, the only ones worthy of Yuan Wenshu's salute were the camp in the western suburbs, the guards of the prison, and the three doctors from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War, and the rest were all saluting him.
After getting to know each other for a long time, Yuan Wenshu found a place to sit down at the end. Duke Qin was very satisfied with it, and then said to Yuan Wenshu: "Good grandson, boy Gan should have told you. I have another test for you. If you pass this test, you will be the leader of my Xibei City lineage. Except for me, everyone here here will listen to you."
Yuan Wenshu suppressed his shock and stood up and said, "Grandfather, please say that no matter what test you give to your grandson, your grandson will do his best to complete it and will live up to the grandfather's expectations."
Others did not respond to him and removed the word "Uncle" from his grandfather because they were used to it. The reason why I was surprised just now was because I didn't know what kind of personality this kid had.
Now that I know, I won’t be surprised. After all, I have seen the wind and waves, and it’s nothing compared to the Duke of Qin when he was young.
After hearing this, Duke Qin put away his kind and serious expression and said, "There is no specific content to say this test, you can do it freely."
"You just returned to Beijing and you don't know something. In the past, every faction would set a few fires when they returned to Beijing to work and say hello to the various families in the capital, but the fires were big and small."
"You have to prepare for your return this time. If you want to think about how to set this fire, my request is to put it on it once, and it cannot cause large-scale conflicts between our northwest and other factions. Of course, we can all help you, and you can also find foreign aid under the banner of our northwest, but it cannot harm the interests of my northwest. Have you heard it clearly?"
After hearing this, Yuan Wenshu suppressed his shock and stood up and replied, "My grandson understands."
"Okay, then you go back first. Although there is no time limit, you'd better finish it soon."
"The grandson understands, then the grandson will take his leave first."
After saying that, Yuan Wenshu gave another gift: "I will say goodbye first, uncles."
Some people who are not of sufficient grade get up and give gifts, while others sit in chairs.
After seeing Yuan Wenshu leaving completely, Duke Qin said to others: "How can my grandson still catch your eye?"
I saw that the qualified people below all said: "Don't look at me as young, I am sophisticated and flexible, and I am quite as handsome as a Duke back then."
After hearing this, the others claimed yes, and the Duke of Qin laughed and scolded: "I think you guys are itchy, right? I'm just saying that I'm shameless, right?"
Others didn't even dare to say anything but Qin Duke said to himself: "I just like to ignore face. What's the use of face? It's not suitable for food or drink."
"What I don't like most in my life is to suffer from face and live. I saw them tired and I massaged the old man's back back then, so how could I have the position of the Ministry of Justice?"
"The old man is dead now, and I am still alive, so you still need the opportunity. Don't compete for a short face. As long as you live longer than him, you can win. Who dares to look down on me now? Those who are qualified to look down on me will die except that old man Zhang."
"So what about that old man Zhang? When did he win in his life with him? Finally, Gu Yankai suppressed me, how about now? He was so angry that his son was so angry that he was called "Grandpa" and the Gu family has now become the laughing stock of the capital. His eldest son is another incompetent and looks like his family is about to lose."
"So it wasn't me who won in the end. Now that I'm the one who is good grandson, I'll beat him again. He won't want to beat me in this life. I want him to lose to me for the rest of my life, hahaha."
