Qiu Jing, the prefect of Quzhou, is 45 this year.He entered the imperial examination at the age of 27, and became the prime minister of the Imperial College at the age of 30. Because of his good conduct and outstanding knowledge, he was transferred to the affluent Jiangnan as a co-prefect at the age of 35.

Qiu Jing is indeed a rare and good official. During his tenure, the people in the Jiangnan area were happy, so three years ago he was transferred to Quzhou and became the prefect of Quzhou.

From Tongzhi to Zhifu, this is a high promotion.

After Tai Fu Xie Hui took office, he took his only grandson to live in Jiangnan, which is known to all the officials in Jiangnan.Therefore, although Xie Hui was no longer in the court at that time, there were still a lot of guests every day, and there were not a few officials who came to visit.

Of course, Qiu Jing also visited Xie Zhao's house, saw Xie Zhao's appearance when he was a child, and even touched Xie Zhao's head affectionately, and praised him with good words of "full family is noble, cleverness is rare".

If you really want to build a relationship, Qiu Jing can tell everyone: "I visited Mrs. Xie a few times in the early years, and I grew up watching Mr. Xie, the current inspector censor."

In fact, Qiu Jing did say this when he saw Xie Zhao coming out of the carriage.

He put on a friendly smiling face, and originally wanted to pat Xie Zhao on the shoulder, but after remembering the other party's current identity, he shook his hand and patted Xie Zhao's arm.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Mr. Xie has become more and more graceful, fresh and handsome."

After recounting the past, Qiu Jing smiled at the other officials who came to welcome Xie Zhao and said, "I met Master Xiao Xie a few times when I was in Jiangnan. At that time, he was still a cute child of Yuxue. Master Xiao Xie is almost at the crown."

After a pause, he finally said the words that the people around him had stopped dozens of times: "I can be regarded as someone who grew up watching Master Xiao Xie, and it is really a fate that I can meet Master Xiao Xie here now." shallow."

Three generations of Xie's family served as officials in the court, and both Xie Hui and Xie Yan were pillars of the court.

Xie Hui assisted two emperors, and worked diligently in the court for dozens of years. He has long been famous all over the world; let alone Xie Yan, he is the founder of the Xie Family Army that has been guarding the people of Dayu on the border for ten years. of.After the news of his death and disappearance came, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the whole country mourned.

Qiu Jing had met these two Master Xie before, and when he saw Xie Zhao again, in order to distinguish him from the previous two Master Xie, he called Xie Zhao "Master Xie".

It's not that Xie Zhao hasn't been called Mr. Xiao Xie before, so he doesn't struggle with the title at this time.

What he cared about was Qiu Jing's overly affectionate attitude.

Xie Zhao has a good memory. Although many officials visited his home when he was young, he still has a certain impression of Qiu Jing.Hearing Qiu Jing's words now, he only felt that it was both unexpected and expected.

Unexpectedly, the impression of Qiu Jing is a person who is neither humble nor overbearing, and he doesn't pay much attention when visiting, but this Qiu Jing in front of him wants to get closer to him, and his attitude is too intimate.

As expected, Qiu Jing's attitude was not incomprehensible.Xie Zhao was already a censor at this time, although his rank was not as high as Qiu Jing, but he was an official sent by the court to supervise. It can be said that a large part of Qiu Jing's future official career is closely related to Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao went back to Beijing to praise him, not to mention his promotion, at least he would have no problem keeping the prefect position.

But if Xie Zhao caught his loopholes and went back to impeach him, he would immediately lose his official title and return to his hometown to farm, and his business for many years would be ruined.

From this point of view, it is not incomprehensible that Qiu Jing has a good attitude towards Xie Zhao.

After Xie Zhao figured it out, he smiled and said to Qiu Jing, "Lord Qiu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I will ask Master Qiu to take care of you when we are in Quzhou."

This is a polite remark, and it can be regarded as a response to Qiu Jing.

Qiu Jing heard that he didn't put on a haughty posture like the previous patrol censors, and his affection for him doubled in his heart.Seeing Xie Zhao let him down the ladder, he narrowed his eyes with a smile, and quickly said: "It should, it should."

After speaking, introduce Xie Zhao to the officials behind him one by one.

Xie Zhao was careful, and soon found that the official uniforms on Qiu Jing and these officials were old and frayed, and the size was not suitable.Especially Qiu Jing, his official uniform was loose, and his exposed wrists were thin.

Xie Zhao went to take a closer look at Qiu Jing, only to find that his cheeks were thin and his hair had already grown prematurely.

But it shouldn't be?

Although Quzhou is located in a remote place, it has rich mountains and rivers and several mines. It has always been the place where Dayu weapons were manufactured.Although it is not as rich as Jiangnan, it can also be called a wealthy party.

As the magistrate of Quzhou, how come Qiu Jing doesn't even have a decent official uniform?

Xie Zhao's suspicion gradually rose, and he began to sense that something was wrong in Quzhou.

Xie Zhao, as an inspector censor, traveled thousands of miles to Quzhou, so Qiu Jing naturally wanted to hold a reception banquet for Xie Zhao.But that night, when Xie Zhao saw the food on the reception banquet, he could barely put on a smile.

——Who can laugh when vegetables are served with white porridge?

Bingwen followed behind Xie Zhao, and when he saw the porridge and vegetables on Xie Zhao's table, his face was full of anger.

It's not that the young master is spoiled and can only eat some expensive meals, it's just that they came from the capital for several days, and the dignified magistrate actually only serves this kind of food to the young master?

Don't you need to think too much, this is the next step!

Xie Zhao stopped Bingwen, who wanted to come forward to argue, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it when we go back."

Qiu Jing glanced at the dishes in front of Xie Zhao embarrassedly, and said in shame: "I am too shy to offer any good dishes to entertain Mr. Xie. Please forgive me, Mr. Xie."

Is it true that you have a lot of money, or is it just a show to show your integrity?

Xie Zhaochu had just arrived, so he couldn't tell the difference for the time being, so he could only hold a teacup and respect Qiu Jing from a distance, and said politely, "Your Majesty Qiu, don't worry, Xie Zhao doesn't have a bad mouth. I'm tired of seeing it, but these light foods suit my appetite."

Qiu Jing said happily: "It's just right, it's just right!"

What good?The dignified magistrate only feeds porridge and vegetables to the censor who came from afar, is that good?

Bingwen was furious, but Xie Zhao grabbed his arm under the table, so he had no choice but to hold back all his words, until he blushed—angrily.

After Qiu Jing finished speaking, he took a sip of tea with Xie Zhao, which was regarded as replacing wine with tea.

It has to be said that Xie Zhao was used to the spiritual nectar in Yuanniang Teahouse, and when he suddenly drank such rough tea, his expression immediately became bitter.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, gritted his teeth and swallowed the tea whole, and when he faced Qiu Jing again, he had returned to his previous calm and smiling appearance.

With the reception banquet, Xie Zhao was not too surprised when he came to the poorly furnished room prepared by Qiu Jing at night.

On the contrary, Bingwen was very angry for Xie Zhao: "It's not good to live here, and it's not good to eat. Is this Mr. Qiu just trying to save your face and bully you when you are young?"

He put the luggage aside angrily, and sat on the stool: "I also said that I watched you grow up. At the beginning, I was respectful to the master, but it's only been a few years now, and I can't even give you face." , and brought those officials together to humiliate you. This Lord Qiu is really bad!"

Xie Zhao was not so angry: "There are beds and quilts in this room, so it's not good to call them in."

Thinking about what he saw when he came to Quzhou today, he couldn't help touching his chin, and said hesitantly: "I think there is something wrong... Mr. Qiu really has no reason to deliberately give me power."

He naturally knew that Xie Zhao was deeply favored by the Holy One, so what's the point of being quick if he offended Xie Zhao?

What's more, Xie Zhao has no grievances or enmities with him, so there is no need for him to be so thoughtful.

Bingwen curled his lips: "People have bullied you like this, and you still speak well of him."

Xie Zhao sat on the stool and didn't figure it out for a long time, but felt that everything was weird and unspeakable.

After a while, he stretched himself, and decided to let himself go tonight and stop worrying about these things: "Anyway, I will stay in Quzhou for a few months, and I will know everything... just write a letter to His Highness." sleep."

After writing the letter, Xie Zhao entrusted someone to send it to the post station the next day.

Qiu Jing was also there at the time, and when he saw the servant leave with Xie Zhao's letter, he hesitated to speak and looked at Xie Zhao for a while, then swallowed his words, sighed, and went out to the government office.

Xie Zhao stayed in Qiu Jing's residence.

After many days of observation, he found that Qiu Jing was indeed a very hardworking and conscientious official, leaving early and returning late every day to devote himself to official duties.Some peddlers and women I met when I went out also said that Mr. Qiu is a rare and good official.

So what is the reason for Qiu Jing's abnormality these days?

Xie Zhao thought he was smart, but at this moment he couldn't figure it out.

When it was dinner on the fifth day, Xie Zhao couldn't help but look at the porridge and vegetables brought up by his servants, "Master Qiu, let's... can we change the dishes tomorrow..."

He is now 19 years old, and it is time to grow his body. He eats porridge and vegetables every day, and his nutrition can't keep up.

Unexpectedly, this was just an ordinary question, but it made Qiu Jing's face turn red.

He hesitated for a long time, then suddenly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and a majestic magistrate actually knelt down to Xie Zhao: "Master Xiao Xie...it's not that I don't want to prepare other meals for you, it's...really... ...!"

As if there was something hard to say, he looked at Xie Zhao with red eyes: "My lord Xie, I do have something to hide..."

Didn't he just ask for a different dish, why did he kneel down!

Xie Zhao couldn't stop regretting, and quickly helped him up: "Actually, porridge and vegetables are quite delicious... Mr. Qiu, if you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk about it."

Unexpectedly, looking thin and thin, Qiu Jing couldn't hold back, he shouted: "It's fine if you want me to get up, but you have to promise me that you can't leave after listening to my words."

It's even threatening!

Xie Zhao was vigilant, and continued to pull him up, while sloppyly saying, "It's autumn, the ground is damp and cold, you stand up and say it."

"I won't stand up unless you promise me."

"Hey, hey! Get up first... Okay, okay, I promise you!"

Qiu Jing's face was full of joy, he quickly got up from the ground, and began to describe what happened to Xie Zhao in detail: "The thing is like this..."

An hour later, Qiu Jing finally explained the ins and outs clearly.

He looked at Xie Zhao expectantly: "Master Xie, will you help me with this matter?"

Xie Zhao listened with a serious face and stood up.

Qiu Jing asked, "Where are you going?"

Xie Zhao gave him a deep look, then turned around and ran away suddenly: "Of course I'm going back to the capital—"

Qiu Jing was dumbfounded: Didn't Master Xiao Xie promise not to leave after listening?How can you keep your word!

Seeing Xie Zhaozhen running out of sight, he quickly reacted and shouted to the servants in the mansion in panic: "Stop Mr. Xie quickly! This is our savior in Quzhou, don't let him run away!"

The author has something to say: Qiu Jing: Mr. Xie ran away, everyone, hurry up!

Master Xie: I'm just a speaker, don't chase after me! !Didn't you say it was a beautiful job? Why is it a mess!crying)
