As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office. This does not mean that the new official must accomplish something. In fact, the main purpose is to establish an image.

There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, especially in a famous humanistic city like Hangzhou, image building is an indispensable homework for officials.

Qin Dewei and Qin Zhongtang left the town of Zhejiang and Fujian. Although they did not do things with much fanfare after disembarking, they did not lack in image display.

For example, directly announcing the implementation of the test method expresses a pragmatic and rigorous attitude.

Another example is that after taking office without doing other things, thinking of going to Yuewang Temple to worship first is also a way to quickly establish an image.

Moreover, Qin Zhongtang shouldered the task of suppressing the Japanese insurgency, and his visit to pay homage to Yue Fei, who defeated the foreign invaders, was also considered a counterpart, and he could better express his ambition and determination.

In terms of image creation, Qin Zhongtang can be regarded as an expert figure hundreds of years ahead of this era.

While thinking about it, he told his subordinate Chen Feng: "If you want to go to the Yuewang Temple to worship, the sooner the better, you have to go tomorrow, but you can't go in public with a big fanfare. You should prepare now!"

Chen Feng asked back: "Why not make it public? If others don't know, then wouldn't you go in vain?"

Qin Dewei replied: "If you use an official capacity to worship publicly, although you can achieve certain effects, it is a bit too deliberate! The performance is too heavy, and it may make the audience feel pretentious. Less than optimal."

Chen Feng: There are many people who go to worship, and you, Qin Dewei, have the most troubles!
Qin Dewei said again: "I should go to the Yuewang Temple to worship in a low-key micro-clothes in my personal capacity, and then my real identity was discovered inadvertently! Compared with a public and deliberate performance with a lot of fanfare, this is more like a real feeling, and the effect is better. better!"

Chen Feng was stunned. We have known each other for more than ten years. You, Qin Dewei, have never acted in such a low-key way.

Qin Dewei sighed: "This moment is also that moment. At the beginning, I was nothing, but I wanted to strive for the top, so I should be high-profile and arrogant, so as to leave a deep impression on people. Now that I have reached the peak, I am the peak, no longer need If you want to be open and outward, you need to be restrained in your approach, which is the so-called return to the basics.”

Then Qin Dewei said: "This is the person who exposes my identity. I need to choose carefully. It's best to be a local celebrity, or someone who is very sensible and good at complimenting me, so that the effect can be truly maximized! With us Jinling Gu Dongqiao That kind of level is enough, don’t be like the whole Wang Fengyuan, who can’t do anything, and can’t pretend well!”

Chen Feng couldn't help sighing with emotion. It was the first time in more than ten years that Qin Dewei heard positive affirmation of the old leader of Gu Dongqiao.

"You find such a person!" Qin Zhongtang realized that it would be good to have someone under his command, so he ordered casually.

Chen Feng is speechless, I have met quite a few officials, but you, Qin Dewei, have the most troubles and the most detailed questions, and you even have to care about a person who will expose your identity!
Just find someone, arrive at the designated place, and yell "You are Qin Zhongtang" and it's over?

Chen Feng said a little impatiently: "I'm also a newcomer, and I'm not familiar with the place, so I don't know who is the most suitable!"

As the only subordinate official in the current shogunate, he has just arrived in Hangzhou City, and he has a lot of trivial things to do. How can he have time to investigate a candidate who may only have one line? …

Moreover, as a fellow villager and the same year, Chen Feng has the capital to make petty emotions in front of Qin Zhongtang.

Qin Dewei said helplessly, "Then I'll make it tomorrow as I see the opportunity. Anyway, tourists and scholars are indispensable around the West Lake. I see if I can find one now, maybe it will be more natural."

Chen Feng was about to get up to leave, but Qin Dewei called to him again, and confessed: "There are also people from Yuanfeng Bank who came with me, and you can also help me find out the address."

Chen Feng, who already had a lot of work at hand, was speechless, and said very resistingly: "I'm not a local official in Hangzhou!"

Qin Zhongtang patted Chen Feng on the shoulder kindly, "Do well, maybe you can become the prefect of Hangzhou."

Chen Feng: "Damn it, a rich man can't drink it!"

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Zhongtang pretended to be a rich man and brought his concubine Mrs. Li and his long-term follower.

When Ma Er went out, there were of course some personal guards scattered around to protect him.

Then a group of people left the city from Yongjinmen and came to the West Lake.It is probably located on the southeast bank of the West Lake, while the Yuewang Temple is on the Qixia Ridge on the northwest bank of the West Lake.

So now there are two options, either walk around the lake shore, or take a boat across the lake.After comparing the degree of fatigue, Qin Zhongtang decided to take the boat.

At this time, there was a large and eye-catching painting boat parked by the lake. After Ma Er went to inquire about it, he came back and reported to Qin Dewei: "That is the painting boat of Zhao Cuicui, a famous local prostitute. She is going to the other side of the lake. Stop here. I want to bring some predestined people who drop by to go with me.”

Qin Dewei laughed and said, "This beauty is good at doing business. It's not up to her to decide what a destined person is."

Ma Er also said flatteringly: "As long as the master comes forward, there must be fate!"

These years, Ma Er followed Master Qin, and met too many famous prostitutes and oirans. As long as one poem is passed, plus the master's age and good looks, it will be no disadvantages!
But at this moment, Qin Dewei took out a silver ingot, slapped it on the horse's second hand, and ordered: "Go and ask again! Is this silver ingot enough for fate!"

Holding the silver in his hands, Ma Er looked at Qin Dewei in astonishment.

Master, you have changed, you have become vulgar, and you actually start to talk with money, are you exhausted?
Mrs. Li curled her lips, and couldn't help but angrily said, "It seems that the servants shouldn't have followed!"

Qin Dewei explained: "Aren't we in a hurry? It will take a lot of time to search for ships elsewhere now! Why don't we just go with this ready-made ship?"

"Besides, I also need someone to spread the word when I go to Yuewang Temple to worship. This kind of famous prostitute who has a lot of friends is a good channel for communication. Since I come across it, I will use it."

Silver is still very useful as hard currency. Qin Dewei got on the boat smoothly, greeted the host, Meiren Zhao, and sat down at a place with a good view.

Mrs. Li looked at Meiren Zhao for a while, and felt that the threat was not serious, so she sat obediently behind Qin Dewei.

Zhao Cuicui's luck may not be very good today, there are really not many people who are destined to come, only Qin Dewei and another young scholar.

This kind of profession naturally has a certain discerning eye. Zhao Meiren could tell on the spot that among the two people on board, one seemed to be a rich man from other places, and the other was an unknown little scholar. high. …

It was getting late, and it was impossible for the boat to wait endlessly, so it set off towards the other side of the lake.

Zhao Meiren is not the only one who is looking for a destined person today, Qin Dewei and Qin Zhongtang are also looking for a destined person, a destined person who can reveal his identity at the right time.

It doesn't matter if you don't recognize yourself, as long as you give some hints at the right time, you won't be able to see your identity if you don't believe me!
Qin Dewei looked at the young man on the same boat as him. He was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked like a talented person.

Then he took the initiative to chat and said, "May I ask this friend's name? Where is his name?"

The boy replied, "I'm from Shimoda Yiheng, and I'm a local."

Qin Dewei thought for a while, but he had no impression of this name, which meant that he was not a famous person in history, nor had he ever been a prostitute.

Then Qin Dewei asked again: "Have you ever entered school?"

Entering school means passing the examination for a scholar, Tian Yiheng replied again: "I have never entered school."

Qin Dewei was immediately disappointed. The scholars in the [-]th and [-]th years did not have middle-class scholars. There were only two possibilities. One was ordinary talent, and the other was ordinary family background.

No matter what kind it is, it is not the predestined person I am looking for.

And if you don't go to school, you can't really integrate into the network of local scholars, and your influence must be limited. How can you help yourself to promote it?
Qin Dewei secretly observed the situation again, and found that Zhao Cuicui, the owner of the painting boat, Zhao Meiren didn't know Tian Yiheng, and he didn't have much enthusiasm for Tian Yiheng.

This further shows that Tian Yiheng is not doing well in the local area or is unknown.Otherwise, she must be registered in the flower world, and it is impossible for Meiren Zhao to treat her coldly.

Qin Zhongtang, who is as careful as a hair, can judge from the above situation that Tian Yiheng is really not a suitable candidate.

So Qin Dewei lost the enthusiasm to continue the conversation in an instant, and his attitude towards Tian Yiheng became obviously cold.Or take a look at the lake view, and then wait until the shore.

But Tian Yiheng, a young man, saw that Qin Dewei was dressed richly, and wanted to continue the conversation, so he asked, "May I ask your honorable name?"

Qin Dewei didn't want to talk to him anymore, he turned his head away and didn't answer, just treated this young man as air, there was really no need to waste time on him!
This sudden attitude seemed to have poured cold water on his head, and Tian Yiheng was so angry that he didn't want to talk to Qin Dewei anymore.

He went to talk to Zhao Meiren again, but found that Zhao Meiren only socialized with Qin Dewei.

After all, in Zhao Meiren's eyes, Tian Yiheng is like a person with no talent, no money, and no influence, who can be found out in a few words of conversation.

On the other side, Qin Dewei is rich and handsome!Of course, Qin Dewei was chosen as the general among the dwarfs.

Qin Dewei's thinking is similar, if he can't find a suitable scholar to speak out for him, a famous prostitute like Zhao Cuicui can make do with it.

Therefore, when Qin Dewei faced Zhao Meiren, he also regained some enthusiasm: "I am new here, I am not familiar with the place, but I admire the deeds of my ancestors, and I am going to worship at Yuewang Temple."

Zhao Meiren responded politely: "It turns out that the young master is also a loyal person."

Qin Dewei took the opportunity to invite and said: "If you don't give up, dare to invite the little lady to go to Yuewang Temple together."

Meiren Zhao frowned and said, "The West Lake Poetry Society has an elegant fair at the foot of Qixia Mountain today. I heard that they are going to raise funds to buy land and build another property as a meeting place. My family is going to participate in this elegant fair, so I can only bear the pain I have rejected my son's kindness."...

Without further ado, Qin Dewei took out two silver cakes and put them in front of Zhao Meiren's case: "Is it enough?"

Zhao Cuicui covered her mouth and smiled: "Feeling the sincerity of the young master, I will be more respectful than obedient."

When the three of them were together, whoever was left out was embarrassed, and at this time Tian Yiheng was the one who was left out.

The young man was already impulsive, but now he was even more angry. He stood up and accused Zhao Meiren, "If you promised to go to the West Lake Poetry Society's Gathering, how could you go back on your word?"

Zhao Meiren retorted: "My family didn't take any deposit, and I didn't show up at the scene, so why can't I go back on the road?"

Qin Dewei sneered and said: "Then what is the gathering, what do you have to do with the little brother? What are you accusing here with righteous indignation? It's just a dog meddling with a mouse!"

Tian Yiheng was so squeezed that he couldn't bear it, and said angrily: "My father respects Tian Rucheng!"

After Qin Dewei and Zhao Meiren heard the name, Qi Qi reacted.

The father Tian Rucheng mentioned by Tian Yiheng was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Jiajing, and he was an official in Guangxi.Among the local scholars in Hangzhou, he currently has the highest level of literature, and he can be regarded as the leader of the literary world in Hangzhou.

What's more coincidental is that Mr. Tian has returned home this year after returning from illness, so it is more convenient for him to preside over the Hangzhou literary world.

Since Qin Dewei came to Zhejiang to be an official, he must know something about local celebrities before coming. This is the basic homework for officials, so he knows who Tian Rucheng is.

And Meiren Zhao, as a famous concubine from Huaguo who often deals with scholars, how could she not know the leader of the local literary circle?
I screamed in my heart, I made a mistake, I didn't expect this humble young man to be the son of League Leader Tian!
In fact, it's not to blame for Zhao Meiren's misjudgment. Tian Rucheng spent most of the past ten years as an official in other places, and they were all in remote places like Guizhou and Guangxi.

Since Tian Yiheng was ten years old, he has been traveling all over the world with his father, rarely staying in Hangzhou City. It was not until the month before last when his father resigned and returned to his hometown that he finally settled down in Hangzhou again.

So it's normal for Zhao Meiren not to recognize Tian Yiheng, let alone Qin Dewei.

The relationship between beauties, famous prostitutes and celebrities is all about working together as women, ah no, they complement each other.

In any case, since the mistake has occurred, it is necessary to find a way to make up for it.Zhao Meiren's thoughts changed sharply, and
He stood up and was about to meet again.

However, Qin Dewei took the first step and sat directly next to Tian Yiheng, and said loudly: "It turns out that Mr. Tian Mengzi is in front of you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Tian Yiheng snorted coldly, and said unceremoniously, "Why are you arrogant and respectful? It seems that you are also a follower of power!"

Qin Dewei didn't seem to take it seriously, as if he didn't hear the irony, now that you are the Lord Zhongtang, it can be said that the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, and his air is much bigger than before.

Then he asked, "Where are you going, friend Tian? Are you also going to the West Lake Poetry Society Gathering?"

Tian Yiheng seemed to refuse and said: "It has nothing to do with you!"!
Qin Dewei kindly invited: "I don't know the place where I live, so I have the courage to invite friend Tian to be your guide. How about visiting Yuewang Temple with me and composing poems as a souvenir, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Tian Yiheng.
I have lived to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and I have never seen such a cheeky person in my life!I just made a mockery, so I just pretended I didn't hear it?Who are these people, Tian Yiheng sneered annoyedly: "Let's forget it, I don't think Yue Fei can afford to be your worship!" Then he threw Qin Dewei aside and said to Zhao Meiren: "Has the beauty ever met you today?" A date?" Zhao Cuicui looked at Qin Dewei, immediately threw the money back, and smiled charmingly at Tian Yiheng and replied, "I don't know what your master wants? I just listen to it."

Tian Yiheng glanced at Qin Dewei triumphantly, the country bumpkin from out of town has seen the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, right? -
