Dinner? Well, the governor has been in the city for such a long time. Yunzhou officialdom can't help but know that... Xu Qi'an is in a much better state of mind. Anyway, he can't sleep. It's boring to stay in the post station. The detour is:

"OK, please wait a moment."

He put on his boots, tied the gong at the head of the bed to his chest, hung a long black and gold knife at his back, and opened the door of the room.

Governor Zhang stood outside the door, dressed in a scarlet official robe, with a straight figure and a brilliant air.

They nodded to each other and went downstairs together. After waiting in the lobby for a while, Jiang Luzhong came in from the yard and said, "the staff count is over. Let's go."

There are more than seven people in Huben station. The banquet was held in a courtyard near the river.

The residence of the chief envoy is specially used to entertain officials. It's a luxury residence with four entrances and four exits.

Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and there is no wind. Although it is in the middle of winter, it is suitable to hold a banquet in the back garden. As the core and guest of the dinner, governor Zhang arrived a quarter of an hour late.

This is not only a show of authority, but also a time for guests to prepare.

Arriving at the gate of the residence, it was already full of all kinds of carriages and sedans, or gorgeous or simple cars, representing a man with different official positions.

Under the guidance of his attendants, governor Zhang and his party came to the front hall and saw a large number of Yunzhou officials in various official robes, more than 100.

Among them is the magistrate of Yunzhou whom Xu Qi'an met today.

"Lord governor." In the hearty laughter, an official with a black robe and a long beard came up.

"Your Highness." Governor Zhang arched his hand with a smile.

The Buzheng emissary is equivalent to a senior official. Xu Qi'an looks at the Buzheng emissary in Yunzhou. His cheekbones are slightly high and his eyes are narrow. When he smiles, his eyes narrow into a slit, giving people the feeling of philistine shrewdness.

Is Ning the father of song Tingfeng who has been separated for many years? By the way, if you remember correctly, the chief envoy's surname is song... Xu Qi'an's mouth starts.

Song Buzheng emissary led governor Zhang to introduce them one by one. Xu Qi'an followed him and kept the officials present in mind.

"This is our commander in Yunzhou, Mr. Li." Song Buzheng envoy came to a middle-aged man with the style of a Confucian general.

All of a sudden, the surrounding voice was much smaller, and their eyes stayed on Governor Zhang and Yang Chuannan.

The two court officials looked at each other for a moment and laughed together:

"governor Zhang, I've heard so much about you."

"I've heard a lot from you, commander."

The atmosphere relaxed again, and the officials were smiling.

How can I have the illusion of a close call? For a moment, Xu Qi'an thought that the scene would be frozen, or both sides would sneer at each other, this time it was in line with the image of an old yin yang man in officialdom.

How could it be so harmonious?

"Governor, the dinner party is ready. Let's go to the backyard together?" The chief minister said immediately.

In a state (province), the three highest level yamen are: Du commander's Department, bu Zheng's Department, and Ti Xing Jian's department.

Among them, the chief inspector of Taixing was subordinate to the duchayuan, so he was most like a dog in front of governor Zhang.

When I came to the backyard, the officials came to the table, and there were two interesting episodes at the main table.

The first episode:

governor Zhang waved and said: "Ningyan, come to my official."

There are ten positions in the main table, one for spitting and one for nailing. There are strict rules in officialdom about who should sit and who can sit.

All of a sudden, they looked at the young man named "Ningyan". He was wearing a black uniform, a short Cape, a bronze Gong with dark lines on his chest, and a special long sword, which was different from the standard sabre, was hanging from his back.

People with keen eyes just look at this sword and realize that this Gong has an unusual identity.

No matter where they are, people who can make special things will not be ordinary people.

Many officials paid close attention to Xu Qian.

In the second episode, commander Yang Chuannan blocked a seated official, pointed to his side and said, "a friend is coming."

The official was stunned and thought of nothing else.

Friend, not an adult, but a friend? Xu Qi'an is sitting upright.

"Ningyan, the riddle today..." governor Zhang whispered.

"Governor!" Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice: "it's actually very simple. We just need to change our thinking."

"What do you say?"

"You are just too serious." As an inspector and censor, governor Zhang is a noble official in the capital. Naturally, he is a noble official.

If you want to change it to the officialdom bastard who is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, you'll know it for a long time.

Governor Zhang is about to speak when Yu Guang catches a glimpse of a young female general in light armour. She is tall, with a perfect proportion and a high horsetail.Beautiful and handsome army girl... Xu Qi'an's eyes suddenly lit up, heart said that Yunzhou still has such a beautiful American woman?

This dress is more attractive than JK, Heisi, nurse and stewardess. It's not a grade.

The mother of the US army went straight to the main table and sat next to commander Yang Chuannan.

Zhang yunniang couldn't look at the names of the soldiers in his mind.

"This is..." he's very strange.

Yang Chuannan said with a smile: "you must have never heard of the name of Feiyan nvxia. Her name is Li Miaozhen. She's a general on horseback employed by our official. In the past year, she's been fighting bandits everywhere and has made many achievements. If it's about merit, I'll have to give up my position as commander. "

His words attracted many officials to express their opinions and praise the female general.

Governor Zhang did not make a statement, but just nodded.

The Ranger general employed by Yang Chuannan... That is to say, there is no establishment, and he does not belong to a regular general of the imperial court... Xu Qi'an looks at his wife, and his heart moves.

No. 2 is also in Yunzhou, and she is also keen on suppressing bandits and Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty. She said that she is not a member of the imperial court. I once praised her chivalrous and righteous spirit, and this handsome little sister is called Feiyan nvxia... Poof, Feiyan nvxia...

when chatting on the canal, No. 2 strongly supported Yang Chuannan and had a lot of relationship with him... She is not No. 2, is she? Xu Qian drinks tea quietly.

Don't worry, try again.

In the Dishu chat group, we can now confirm that No. 5 and No. 2 are both girls. No. 2 looks very good at fighting, but the temptation of uniform is OK... I don't know how No. 5 looks... Little Manniu in southern Xinjiang.

Two rows of dancers, dressed in colorful clothes and with bare shoulders, enter and dance with the accompaniment of the musicians.

There are no Ziyang residents in Yunzhou. Therefore, everyone does not praise Xu Qi'an. The topic focuses on the capital and Governor Zhang. Bah, officialdom is really boring and a waste of time.

Li Miaozhen quietly looked at the governor and his party. She focused on Jiang Lvzhong. She knew that he was a golden gong and a four grade Wufu.

I don't know what I am good at or what my character is.

I'm not young, but Qi and blood seem to be at their peak. I don't know what weapons I'm good at and what "meaning" I've raised. Well, after the banquet, ask number three.

Li Miaozhen lowered his head to drink a sip of wine, and immediately began to examine Xu Qi'an: his breath was introverted, and he could not see the depth of his breath. But the warrior in the copper skin and iron bone realm occasionally had a flash of spirit on his body, but he didn't, at most he was in the realm of refining spirit...

his eyes were tired, his bags were puffy, and he looked like he was hollowed out by wine... He was either a watchman or a big man in the Yamen I heard Yang Chuannan say that Wei Yuan was in charge of the capital inspection yard, and it was reasonable for Zhang to arrange his relatives as watchmen.

the dinner came to an end in a harmonious atmosphere, and people brought up plates of dark colored loquat, full and big.

Is there loquat in this season? Xu Qi'an twists a loquat which is not very fresh, peels it and tastes it. It's sour and sweet, and the taste is very good. The most important thing is that it has no seeds.

"Governor, you can taste the loquat in Yunzhou. It matures at the end of spring and the beginning of summer. You can't eat such crisp loquat in the capital.

"After the loquat is mature, it has been kept in the icehouse, and the deteriorated ones are picked every ten days. Now, there is no more left." Song Changfu and song Buzheng envoy enthusiastically grabbed a few and put them in front of governor Zhang.

Governor Zhang ate one, and his eyes widened in surprise: "no nuclear?"

Song Buzheng's emissary laughed but did not speak. Other officials also laughed.

Governor Zhang was quite surprised. It was his first time to eat the seedless loquat. The feeling of experience was not too good, so it was impossible to set a channel:

"there are seedless loquats in the world, wonderful, wonderful."

What is this? If you want to eat seedless watermelon, don't you want to be moved to tears? Xu Qi said with ease.

"Is this seedless loquat a special variety in Yunzhou? How come I haven't heard of it before? " Zhang Xunfu said.

"No, it's only because the loquat tree is blessed with the fragrance of Baidi temple that it produces seedless loquat." Song Buzheng emissary said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, this is Jirui in Yunzhou."

"Yunzhou is a unique place, under the care of the White Emperor, good weather."

All the officials immediately boasted and instilled in governor Zhang the idea of "Yunzhou is a auspicious place".

Governor Zhang fell into meditation, he tasted, but he could not guess where the mystery of loquat seedless was. Cautious, there is no refutation.

The song Buzheng envoy peeled another loquat, handed it over, and asked with a smile, "governor, do you think so?"

... governor Zhang said helplessly: "what Mr. Song said..."

"what Mr. Song said is bad." Coldly, Xu Qian interrupted.

The officials at the main table and other tables looked over and gazed at Xu Qi'an.

Li Miaozhen, who is looking down to eat food, is disdainful. She knows the reason, but now she is on the side of Yunzhou officialdom, so she doesn't tear down song Buzheng envoy.She raised her head and stared at Xu Qian, who was so rude that she wanted to hear what he would say.

Song buzhengshi frowned, looked at the causeway which was almost ignored by himself, and said with a smile: "what's your advice?"

"it's easy to put down the core of a loquat when you pick up the core of a loquat, and you can't chew it until you put it down.

"My Lord, is that right?"

All of a sudden, there was silence on the table, and the officials of Yunzhou all around looked at him stiffly.

The appearance of the Song Dynasty governor was suddenly stagnant.
