Chapter 2597 Deliberate encounter

The emperor said: "There is a lot of knowledge in this place. If he wants to go further, he must know how to manage ordinary people, how to manage aristocratic families, and how to manage local wealthy families. In the place where he is the governor of the governor, he can integrate and fight against these people completely by his own strength and wisdom, so that the connections and prestige that he has cultivated completely belong to him."

The emperor said: "Look at Yang Heshu, how is his reputation in Xiazhou now, and how is his reputation in the court?"

Although he is far away from the capital and the center of power, in the hearts of the ministers, his weight is only a lot more than that of Tang He, who came out of the same department.

The emperor put his hands behind his back and clenched his fists slightly. Yang and the book were too involved, and he didn't know what to do in the future, but although Bai Shan came from a noble family, he had always grown up far away from his own family. In the future, when the prince ascended the throne, he might be the purest one.

The emperor thought to himself, he does not speak crookedly.

In the evening of the same day, the emperor specially reserved the prince to have dinner together, and the father and son ate at the dining table. The emperor mentioned this matter and said to the prince, "Bai Shan is still young and still has youthful enthusiasm, where do you think he is going? Better?"

The prince said: "Since he doesn't pick it himself, let's see where the next vacancy is and send it to him directly."

Hearing the words, the emperor glanced at him and said, "It's not like this is how you raise people."

The queen smiled and added a bowl of rice to them, and said, "Let's talk after eating."

Bai Shan, on the other hand, went out of the palace after finishing his work, but he was stopped by a carriage before he left the imperial city. The magistrate Guo opened the curtain and said with a smile, "Master Bai, the sky is good today, why don't we use it together? a meal?"

Bai Shanliu understood after a little thought, so he smiled and nodded.

When the magistrate Guo saw it, he took the initiative to lift the curtain of the car and invite Bai Shan to enter.

Bai Shan handed the horse over to the entourage of the magistrate Guo, and stepped on the carriage himself.

The magistrate Guo smiled and asked, "Where do you want to eat, Lord Bai?"

Bai Shan smiled and said, "Wait."

County magistrate Guo: How long does it take to find a place to eat? Zhuangyuan Building, Jiufu Building, just pick one, he will definitely not blink.

It's just that Bai Shan took a long time to think, and he didn't even think about the carriage after passing a square, and then the carriage was stopped.

County magistrate Guo heard a familiar voice in the car and said, "Why is Lord Bai's horse here with you?"

County magistrate:  …

He raised his head and looked at Bai Shan quietly.

Bai Shan smiled at him, opened the curtain and said, "I'm here."

Man Bao dismounted, stepped forward curiously, looked at the magistrate Guo in the car, and asked inexplicably, "How did you get together?"

The county magistrate Guo has returned to normal, and said with a smile on his face: "The sky is good today, and I met Lord Bai by chance, so I want to invite Lord Bai to have a drink."

Man Baoxin has a ghost. Don't the two of them have a few days every month to meet by chance?

Why hasn't he invited her?

The magistrate Guo smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence that I met Lord Zhou today. This is fate. Lord Zhou, let's go for a drink together?"

Man Bao glanced at Bai Shan, who nodded slightly to her.

So Man Bao handed over his horse to Guo county magistrate's entourage, and soon there was one more person in the car.

Bai Shan picked up the teapot in the car, poured her a cup of tea, and asked, "Are you alone?"

"No, there are two medical assistants, but I let them go back first."

Bai Shanshun asked, "How's Mr. Zheng's injury?"

"The hair is no longer shaved, it can be grown long. The trauma has healed, but the blood inside has not completely dissipated. There are still some problems with speaking at this moment."

The magistrate Guo also became serious and asked, "Master Zhou thinks he may take the jinshi exam this year?"

Man Bao thought for a while and said, "I'll know when I come tomorrow to give him a brain-boosting acupuncture."

Being an official of the same dynasty and having been in front and back for many years, the magistrate Guo still knew Zhou Man's level, so he nodded slightly.

County magistrate Guo glanced at Bai Shan and smiled slightly: "Master Bai, where do you want to eat?"

Bai Shan smiled and said, "Since it's Mr. Guo's treat, it's naturally Mr. Guo who chooses, and we can do whatever we want."

The magistrate Guo did not hesitate, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Go to Jiufukulou, I heard that there are fresh lotus seeds to eat in Jiufukulou now. Because of the heat in summer, we have specially developed a few dishes to cool off the heat. Let's try it. Try it."

Man Bao nodded again and again, "It's a little hot. My sister-in-law said that the store has not made steamed pork very often since the beginning of the year, but the newly made cold noodles are very popular."

Bai Shan nodded and asked the magistrate Guo, "Does Jiufu Lou have cold noodles?"

County magistrate Guo: "...Yes."

When the three arrived at Jiufu Building, the entourage brought their own carriages and horses to resettlement. The guys recognized the magistrate Guo, as well as Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and immediately stepped forward to greet them.

The magistrate Guo asked for a private room, and the three of them sat at a spacious table and ordered food.

The county magistrate Guo, who is not short of money, is very generous. He not only ordered two signature dishes, but also ordered a lot of dishes suitable for summer.

Dafang was embarrassed to add more to Bai Shan and Man Bao, so he said to the guy who reported the name of the dish, "We don't have anything to add."

The magistrate Guo smiled and said, "Master Bai and Master Zhou, please don't be polite."

Bai Shan smiled and said, "It's not that you're polite, but that Mr. Guo ordered enough, any more is extravagant."

The county magistrate Guo smiled when he heard the words, "This statement is very true. As expected of the person beside Your Majesty, I will punish myself for a cup."

Man Bao has already started writing and repairing books today. She uses her brain too much. She is a little hungry at this time, so she doesn't want to use her brain. Seeing that there are beans and cakes on the table, she doesn't really want to eat cakes to fill her stomach, so she stir-fries with chopsticks. Beans to eat.

As for why the magistrate Guo invited the couple, oh no, it was Bai Shan to eat, so let Bai Shan deal with it completely, she concentrated on eating.

The county magistrate Guo glanced at her at first, but seeing that she was so focused on eating, he also forgot her and focused on talking to Bai Shan.

By the way, why did he invite Bai Shan to dinner?

Of course we have to wait until the food is ready.

When the dishes were served, Man Bao became more attentive to his food, and the magistrate Guo mentioned the vacancies in Chang'an and Wannian counties while he was eating.

He is still the magistrate of Wannian County, but it is already foreseeable that he will leave office, but no one thought that the magistrate of Chang'an County would leave office earlier than him.

Bai Shan thought about it, it was not a secret, and he had written down the official document of Tang magistrate's promotion in the afternoon and sent it to the province for review. Although he did not know whether it was reviewed or not, Mr. Wei was also present at the time, and he did not express any objection on the spot. , then this matter is 99%, and it is only a matter of time before it is reviewed.

Even Mr. Guo, who was not present, knew it, and there were quite a few people who knew it, so he said: "Master Tang's promotion to the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture has already been completed, but the successor of Chang'an County has not yet been elected."
