The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 121 The prince's heart, the best mother-in-law (4)
Master Lu's demeanor is something Zhao Shihua has never seen before. Although he is only a county magistrate of the seventh rank, his daily wear and demeanor is like that of a nobleman of the Hou family, who is particular about everything.He has a handsome face, no beard, a jasper crown on his head, and no official uniform, but a royal blue brocade uniform with simple embroidery but excellent embroidery.

At the reception banquet, Zhao Shihua saw that he even brought his own bowls and chopsticks, small white jade bowls, ivory chopsticks, and silver spoons. He would not take the initiative to pick up dishes unless the maid helped him put them into the bowls... …

Zhao Shihua thought to himself, this is too particular.At any rate, he also met Lin Xuezheng and Li Zhifu in Jiangyang. It is said that Li Zhifu also came from the Li family, one of the eight wealthy families in the Sui Dynasty, but he didn't see him being so particular about it.Zhao Shihua doubted whether Lord Lu came to be the county magistrate or to have fun.You shouldn't come here for pleasure!Hejiang County is not a rich place.

After drinking tea, Zhao Shihua blinked again.I used to think that my elder brother was particular about making tea, but now that I saw Mrs. Lu, I realized that elder brother was nothing.

Look at this Mrs. Lu, four maids, one burns incense, one cleans his hands before playing the piano, one looks at the fire, and the remaining one washes his hands slowly through the incense, and the sound of the piano is clanging, and then he sits down on the tea set, and then It's for tea.Although the steps of making tea are similar, I have to say that watching a beautiful woman make tea in such a fragrant atmosphere is indeed a kind of enjoyment.The tea also seemed to taste more fragrant.Of course, it is also very possible that the tea that people use is better than the tea that Zhao Shihua drank before.

Zhao Shihua originally thought that it was time to leave after drinking the tea, but he didn't expect that Master Lu would ask to keep him.

"Everyone else go back. Zhao Juren, please stay."

Zhao Shihua thought it was just because Master Lu stopped him because he had been the former master, so he didn't think much about it.Sure enough, Master Lu asked in the first sentence: "Has Zhao Juren served as a teacher for his predecessor and helped him handle government affairs?"

Zhao Shihua replied respectfully: "As for your Excellency, the student Zhongju was Mr. Qian's master the year before, and he helped Mr. Qian handle government affairs."

"In other words, you are familiar with the government affairs of Hejiang County?"

Zhao Shihua said modestly and respectfully: "I dare not say I am familiar with you. If you have any questions, please ask."

But he didn't want Master Lu's next words to make him stunned on the spot.

Master Na Lu wrote lightly: "No need. You still come back to be my son's master, and the benefits will be indispensable to you. From now on, all the government affairs of Hejiang County will be entrusted to you. If there are no major issues, you can make decisions by yourself. You don't have to ask. Inquire about my son. My four beauties will also reward you with one, you can choose it yourself!"

Zhao Shihua doubted his ears for a moment.Did he hear wrong?Or is there something wrong with his understanding?I have seen arrogant ones, but I have never seen such arrogant ones!Well, you are a nobleman, you are amazing, but I, Zhao Shihua, am not your servant either!

If Master Lu said it well, for the sake of the common people in this area, Zhao Shihua would be nothing if he served Master Lu as a master for another three years in order to get familiar with the government affairs and understand the dynamics of the court in a timely manner.However, no matter what Mr. Lu said, he felt uncomfortable, and the stubbornness in the literati festival came out.

"Thank you, my lord, for being fond of students." Although Zhao Shihua was not angry, he still had brains, his tone was not overly aggressive, and his posture was still quite respectful. There are still quite a few deficiencies in history, let students study hard at home. Therefore, we can only live up to the good intentions of the adults, and ask the adults to choose other talents."

After hearing Zhao Shihua's words, Lu Chenxing raised his head in surprise, squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why? Are you still not happy? Even if you leave for the capital now, you will try to get into the second list of high school scholars, It's just a seventh-rank county magistrate. I don't need you to go to Chang'an to rush for the exam, but I directly let you be the head of this county. You still tell me that you are not happy? Hmm? Tell me, what do you want? If the conditions are not too excessive, I will agree."

Zhao Shihua was furious in his heart, but he knew that although he won the Juren, he didn't have the foundation, and he couldn't fight head-on with the young master who came from a high-ranking family.So, he still bowed respectfully and said: "Your Excellency misunderstood, the student is not thinking of any benefits. The student thinks that the adult is the lord of the county who accepts the fate of the court, and the student dare not surpass it. Moreover, the student really intends to study behind closed doors for three years." It is definitely not a perfunctory young master to make up for my lack of classics and history, if not, the students have already left for the capital to catch up with the exam."

Lu Chenxing frowned, he was a little uncertain now whether Zhao Shihua wanted to benefit or was really pedantic and didn't want to be his master.Before coming here, there was an explanation from the higher-ups that if they were to win over this Zhao Shihua well, they would definitely drag him onto their boat. Could it be that the conditions he gave were not good enough?He is allowed to be in charge of the government affairs of the county, and rewarded him with his beloved maidservant. Isn't Zhao Shihua a bit too hungry?
Lu Chenxing never thought about it at all, what Zhao Shihua wanted was not benefits, not women, but respect.If he invites you sincerely with good words and good words, Zhao Shihua will not delay at all, and he will definitely manage Hejiang County properly.

"Zhao Juren, you have to think about it. If you follow me, you will become a disciple of my Lu family. When you become a Jinshi, I will take care of you all the way in the future. If you don't know people, hehe, I will take care of you." Young master is not good at doing good deeds, but it is easy to trip others up."

This is the threat of Hongguoguo.Zhao Shihua hadn't thought of this at first, but felt that if he agreed, he would have to be servile in front of this young master every day in the future, which was really unbearable.One must know that when he was with Mr. Qian, he was just a scholar, but Mr. Qian treated him very politely.Hearing what Lord Lu said now, and remembering the disputes between the various factions in the court, he will not go into this muddy water anymore.He has long understood that, as a candidate from a poor family, even if he becomes a Jinshi in the future, he will always have only one master, and that is the emperor.

"Please forgive me, my lord. The students are ignorant and can't take on this important task. It's getting late, please rest early. The students are leaving." Zhao Shihua bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
