The system forced me to eat soft rice [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 63, The 3st World (7)
Qin Hezhou stepped over one level of stone steps, walked into the Zhumen with the plaque of "Duchayuan", passed through the long and narrow verandah, and entered the Duchafu.
The little official at the door saluted him respectfully, Qin Hezhou nodded slightly to him, and stepped across the threshold in a whole suit, followed by an attendant.
Today is his first time in office.
When he walked to the door of the office of Du Yushi Fu Wenhe, his immediate superior, the room was solemn and silent.
The little official guarding the door knocked on the door twice, and hurried in to report.
"Please come in."
A vigorous voice came from inside the house.
Hearing this, Qin Hezhou asked his attendants to wait at the door, and then walked in.
There are many official documents piled up on Fu Wenhe's desk. He pushed several stacks of scrolls and memorials to the corner of the desk, and he was concentrating on writing with a pen at this time.
"I met the imperial censor at Qin Hezhou." After entering, Qin Hezhou immediately leaned over and bowed to Fu Wenhe.
However, in the next second, there was no expected response.
Fu Wenhe was still writing with his head down, without even looking at him.
Seeing this, Qin Hezhou raised his head, straightened his body, put his hands behind his back, and looked at what Fu Wenhe was writing.
Fu Wenhe glanced at Qin Hezhou from the corner of his eye, and then immediately looked away. He deliberately left Qin Hezhou alone.
Now that the cabinet is powerful and everything is under Xie Jun's control, forming a party and cooperating with the cabinet is the wise way to protect oneself.
However, Qin Hezhou was directly promoted by the emperor to the position of Yushi of Qiandu as the number one scholar from a poor family. This position is very delicate, and his status is special. To Xie Jun, it was like a thorn stuck in his throat.
The best way is to evade his authority,
Just like the current emperor.
When Fu Wenhe was thinking about how long he would let Qin Hezhou hang out before he could lose face,
Next second,
"It's been famous for a long time, and I saw it today. Mr. Fu's calligraphy is really good." Qin Hezhou suddenly took a step forward and said aloud.
Fu Wenhe finally raised his head this time, but saw that there was no displeasure on the other party's face, but a gentle smile on his face, and he said unhurriedly:
"The procuratorate is busy with official duties, but when Mr. Fu is reviewing official documents, he writes every stroke so carefully. Others spend an hour, but Mr. Fu takes two hours. It's no wonder that he has no spare time. This kind of excellence I really admire Shaoyou's spirit."
Hearing this, Fu Wenhe's face turned green. Why couldn't he hear the sarcasm in Qin Hezhou's words? Just as he was about to speak, he heard the other party continue:
"Master Fu is so busy that I don't want to disturb you. Why don't I go out and sit for a while, and send someone to pass me when Master Fu is free."
"No need, I was busy with official duties just now, so I lost the way to entertain guests." Fu Wenhe looked at him, put down his pen, called a small official beside him, and said to him: "Shaoyou is today's number one scholar." Lang, the emperor appointed the censor of the capital, you take him to familiarize himself with the office, and besides, "He suddenly changed the subject when he said this,
"Shaoyou has just taken office and is not yet familiar with the business of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so I will not assign you heavy cases. Let Shaoyou get familiar with it for a while before we talk about it."
Qin Hezhou sneered in his heart, Fu Wenhe made it clear that he wanted to evade his own power, and the reason he said was high-sounding, it's a good "after a while", I'm afraid this period of time will last forever.
On the face, he said with a smile: "Master Fu is thoughtful."
Then he said "Farewell", followed the little official and walked out.
As soon as Qin Hezhou stepped into his office room, the attendants around him immediately showed surprise. The air in this room was filled with a cloud of floating dust that was visible to the naked eye.
It looks dusty for a long time.
I saw a few dusty scrolls on an old desk. Qin Hezhou went over and opened the scrolls. Inside were trivial and trivial matters.
The little official sent by Fu Wenhe glanced at the scrolls, and said to Qin Hezhou: "Master Qin, you should be familiar with these official documents in the past two days."
The attendant beside him couldn't help saying: "Master, this?"
"It doesn't matter." Qin Hezhou interrupted him by stretching out his hand, then looked at the little official with a smile, and said, "I have one more question to ask."
Little official: "Please tell me." "How many supervisors did Mr. Fu assign to Qin?" Qin Hezhou put down the scroll in his hand and wiped the ashes from his fingertips.
The official positions in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, from high to low, are the capital censor and the left and right Qiandu censors. Under the Qiandu censor, there are hundreds of supervisory censors who are responsible for reporting to their superiors and inspecting the internal and external officials. evil.
It stands to reason that Qin Hezhou, as a censor of the capital, should have at least a dozen supervisory censors under his command.
However, facing his question, the little official showed embarrassment, and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Qin Hezhou suddenly understood that Fu Wenhe planned to take him out of the way, but he did it simply, and he simply didn't even assign anyone to him.
Seeing that Qin Hezhou didn't speak, the little official thought that the other party would blame him, but saw him walk to the table, pick up a pen and quickly write a few lines, then handed it to the little official: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate Things are complicated and there is a shortage of manpower, Qin understands, I will write back to let Mr. Fu not to worry, I will spend some time in the past two days to familiarize myself with the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate before I talk about it."
Immediately, Qin Hezhou patted the little official on the shoulder, and asked him to take the letter back and report back. The little official took the letter and left in a hurry.
"Master, what they are doing is obviously perfunctory." The attendant walked to Qin Hezhou's side and said worriedly.
However, Qin Hezhou swept away all the ashes on the wooden chair, and sat down very comfortably, "I don't need to do anything, what's wrong?"
Speaking of this, he took out an idle book from the bookshelf behind him, flipped through it seriously, and said in a casual tone, "Let them do their work, I'll just read and drink tea here, and I'll go back when the application time is over." government."
The attendant on the side was a little stiff: "...but..."
Qin Hezhou suddenly smiled, looked away from the book, and said, "Why are you in a hurry? Fu Wenhe is Xie Jun's man, do you still count on him?"
"But he is the censor of the capital, and all the people under the procuratorate are under his control." The attendant was still a little puzzled.
Qin Hezhou withdrew his previous casual look, and his tone became serious, "No hurry, accompany me to the Supervisor of Rites this afternoon."
Attendant: "What are you doing?"
Qin Hezhou put down the book: "Look for someone."
·
In the dormitory of the eunuch Liang Si, the chief inspector of ceremonies, was burning incense and the stove, the fragrance was elegant and concentrated, and there were a few servants beside him fanning the wind with banana fans, while Liang Si was sitting at the desk covered with silk and writing.
The interior of his bedroom is luxuriously decorated, there is a well-ground ink stand in front of the desk, and the best wolf hair on the pen holder.
All of them demonstrate the prominent identity of the master.
Liang Si began to serve the emperor when he was young, taking care of his daily necessities, supervising his studies, and was called "big companion".
After the emperor became an adult, he was promoted to be the eunuch in charge of the official seal, and became the eunuch with the highest official position in the entire palace.
"Eunuch, is there someone outside who wants to see you?" A young servant hurried in to report.
Liang Si raised his eyes, "Who?"
The person who notified: "Qin Hezhou, the new top scholar of the current dynasty and the imperial censor hand-picked by the emperor."
Liang Si frowned slightly, and asked again: "Did he say what it was for?"
The boy shook his head, "I just said that I heard that my father-in-law is elegant, proficient in calligraphy, and that copying famous handwriting can be fake, so I want to ask for advice."
Liang Si didn't show any expression on his face, but his mind was full of thoughts.
The reason Qin Hezhou found seems to be less than one of eight poles, but it actually hides a secret.
First, in the name of asking for calligraphy lessons, it is difficult for him to refuse the other party's request for an interview.
Second, Liang Si used to be the emperor's pen-holding eunuch, and what this pen-holding eunuch did was to copy the emperor's handwriting and review memorials for him.Therefore, Qin Hezhou's name of calligraphy is actually a metaphor for his power.
Due to the large number of official documents every day, it is difficult for the emperor alone to handle them all. This is why the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies was appointed as a ghostwriter. He followed the emperor's words and used vermilion block letters instead of reading. Essentially another cabinet.
And now the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xie Jun, has been afraid of Liang Si's power since he was promoted to be the eunuch of palm seal.
Xie Jun was already at odds with him, but now his scruples are getting deeper and deeper.
Liang Si has always been aware of the fierce power struggles in the Wenchen Group, but his usual method is to watch the tigers fight from afar.
He never cared about civil strife among civil servants.
But this time, the new champion came to him on his own initiative, he really wanted to see what the other party was selling in this gourd.
The next second, Liang Si put down the pen in his hand and said to the boy, "Please come in."
Not long after, Qin Hezhou stepped into the room, bowed his hands to Liang Si, and said, "My father-in-law is very elegant. I have long heard that my father-in-law is elegant and good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. He is especially good at calligraphy and calligraphy. Today I have to see it, I think others have misunderstood it."
Liang Si saluted him back, frowned, and said, "How do you say that?"
Qin Hezhou said solemnly: "Their praise is not as charming as my father-in-law's original work."
Hearing Qin Hezhou's words, Liang Si couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and laughed a little, "Master Qin won the first prize in the imperial examination. Our family only knows that Mr. Qin is knowledgeable and quick-witted. Now it seems that his ability to speak is even more admirable .only......"
Speaking of this, he changed his tone, raised his eyes leisurely to look at Qin Hezhou, and saw a lot of dust on the other party's brand new official uniform, Liang Si said meaningfully:
"Master Qin went to work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the first day, why are his clothes all gray?"
Qin Hezhou glanced down at his official uniform, and smiled, "Elder-in-law must know that if this scroll is neglected by others, it will be covered with dust, so it will be the same if it is another person."
Seeing that he finally stopped keeping secrets with him, Liang Si raised his eyebrows with great interest, "Master Qin, our family doesn't know why you came here today, but it's all a matter of the procuratorate, and our family can't control it."
"Shaoyou naturally knows that the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot be controlled by the public, but there must be no one who understands the affairs around the sage better than the father-in-law." Qin Hezhou put his hands behind his back, took a step forward, leaned over to look at Liang Si and said.
Liang Si recovered the smile in his eyes, and his expression became serious, "Master Qin, why don't you just say something straight?"
"As we all know, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for the picketing of all officials on behalf of the emperor, and it is a place of strict discipline and law, but now things are complicated in the court, and there is a shortage of manpower in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Almost all the tasks of supervision fall on 'those people'. Shaoyou is now serving as the censor of the capital, and is willing to share the worries of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and recruit wise men for His Majesty, so Shaoyou begs his father-in-law to write a letter to His Majesty explaining the current situation, and approves Shaoyou to recruit several talented people as the Metropolitan Procuratorate In addition, Shaoyou also hopes that the father-in-law will be the supervisor of this matter."
When Qin Hezhou said these words, from the corner of his eye, he kept paying attention to the expression on Liang Si's face, and also noticed the flash of surprise in the other's eyes.
Liang Si was silent for a moment, but he brushed aside the context of the matter in his mind, and when he looked at Qin Hezhou again, the expression in his eyes also changed.
I only know that the person in front of me is really not simple.
As the new official appointed by the emperor, Qin Hezhou's power was emptied, and he fell into an embarrassing situation where he was disobedient. He also came from a poor family and had no backer behind him. If he wanted to integrate into the existing forces of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it would be difficult , even if he tried his best and squeezed his head, he couldn't control Fu Wen and his men
So he simply gave up this path completely, and directly found another path.
Today, Qin Hezhou made it clear that he wanted to use his power to attract a new force for him in the name of the emperor.
Liang Si appreciated his courage, but...
"Master Qin, what you said is really good, but you also know that our family has never liked to meddle in other people's affairs. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to go to Mr. Xie, the chief assistant? What does it have to do with our family?"
Liang Si's polite refusal in his reply was very clear, and he wanted to see how Qin Hezhou would respond now.
Unexpectedly, the other party wasn't annoyed at all, and didn't show any sign of shrinking back. Instead, the smile on his face was even bigger.
"The father-in-law's question is the key point. Shaoyou came to seek help from the father-in-law today. One of the reasons is that Shaoyou is now in prison and needs a nobleman to rescue him. And the second is that this matter is only for the right people." The father-in-law is beneficial, and you need the help of the father-in-law to travel less, so why not the father-in-law?"
Hearing this, Liang Si's expression suddenly changed, but Qin Hezhou continued:
"As you know, His Majesty is very 'respectful' to Xie Jun, the chief minister of the cabinet. He is in charge of almost all important affairs of the government, including the Procuratorate. The responsibility of picketing and impeaching all officials naturally falls on Mr. Xie. Last month, Mr. Xie impeached three ministers on the grounds of 'mediocrity and incompetence', but..."
Speaking of this, Qin Hezhou suppressed the smile on his face, and there was a sharp look in his deep eyes, and he directly looked at Liang Si,
"Have you heard the words that Mr. Xie wrote to His Majesty earlier, which included 'the ceremonial supervisor is powerful, and the government should be returned to the cabinet'. The father-in-law's unwillingness to participate in the turmoil of civil servants is indeed a wise way to protect himself, but in this court Shaoyou thinks it is more appropriate to describe it with another word."
Liang Si's eyes darkened, "What words?"
Qin Hezhou looked at him and said word by word: "If you don't advance, you will retreat."
At this moment, the atmosphere became strangely silent, but the eyes of the two were still clashing. The expressions in Liang Si's eyes were changing, and the thoughts in his heart were constantly churning.
What Qin Hezhou said just now directly hit the hidden danger buried deep in his heart. Xie Jun was afraid of him, so why not him.
Their two forces have been secretly going back and forth tit for tat, and Xie Jun's repeated actions today, whether it is frequently using his personal power to promote officials, or constantly advising the emperor to reduce his own power, are seriously serious. It endangered Liang Si's interests.
It was impossible for Liang Si to sit still and die, but he suffered from Xie Jun's influence in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but Qin Hezhou came suddenly today, presenting a ready-made opportunity in front of him.
After pondering for a moment, he patted the case and said, "I've accepted your matter. I will do for you what you want, but you have to deal with the recruiting by yourself. Mr. Qin is a smart man, and he will not let you Our family is disappointed."
Seeing that he agreed, Qin Hezhou knew that it was done, bowed his hands to the other party, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your father-in-law's help, Shaoyou. Naturally, he will do this matter with all his heart and live up to the high hopes of your father-in-law and the emperor."
After finishing speaking, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Qin Hezhou left the palace.
The attendant at the door saw him coming out, and with the determined expression on his face, he knew that the matter was probably done. He thought about the next arrangement and said, "Master, you will meet with me later. Mr. Lu has an appointment, so let's go now?"
Hearing this, Qin Hezhou looked down at his clothes, brushed the ashes with his hand, thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, go home and change your clothes first."
The attendant answered "Okay" on the face, but in his heart he complained that Qin Hezhou went to see the powerful eunuch with palm prints earlier, and he didn't see him despising the ashes and said he wanted to change clothes. Why did he care so much about his appearance when he changed into Mr. Lu? coming?
·
On the other side, Xue Shaoyi and Lu Lingchuan came out of the Imperial Academy, and Xue Shaoyi casually asked about Lu Lingchuan's next arrangement.
Lu Lingchuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Shaoyou asked me to go boating on the Sugong Canal two days ago, and said he had something to discuss."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Xue Shaoyi showed a teasing smile and shook her head, "The tokens of love have been changed, it's just as simple as going boating? There are still 'things' to talk about, but I'm curious about what this is about. What? Or talk about love?"
Lu Lingchuan was ridiculed by him, so he turned his head and slapped him with his arm, "You don't have a few serious words in your mouth, so you are naturally going to talk about things. Shaoyou entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate earlier, and a few days ago He mentioned to me that the procuratorate in this capital has a lot of business, and the supervisory censor may not have enough manpower. He wanted to find some talented people, but he had not been in the capital for a long time, and he didn't have any contacts or news, so he wanted to come to me. Let's talk about it."
Xue Shaoyi immediately withdrew that teasing look, and became seriously serious. He has a wide range of acquaintances, and he has heard about Qin Hezhou's neglect in the Metropolitan Procuratorate today. He had anticipated this earlier, and even planned ahead, and privately wanted to use Lu Lingchuan's deep background in the capital to find contacts.
Xue Shaoyi tried her best to match the two before, but when Lu Lingchuan and him were a rare fate, it could be considered a hit-and-miss relationship. In addition, as his brother, Lu Lingchuan rarely met someone he liked and became emotionally enlightened.
Now that I think about it carefully, Lu Lingchuan was really moved, but what about Qin Hezhou?
As the champion of a poor family, Lu Lingchuan expressed something to him, and he responded enthusiastically. He just exchanged the token of love some time ago, and then immediately made such a request. How can there be such a coincidence?In the next second, Lu Lingchuan's sleeve was grabbed by someone, he turned his head and saw Xue Shaoyi's serious expression, "Mr. Lu, you like him now, some things are hard to understand, but I still want to remind you For a moment, you'd better think about this question carefully, is he trying to use you, or does he really like you?"
Lu Lingchuan's footsteps stopped suddenly,
What Xue Shaoyi said just now kept echoing in her mind,
He felt that his thoughts were a little blank, and there were only two words left:
"use".
The author has something to say: Brother Qin: I was really wronged. Besides, when you see your wife, of course you should dress better

Thanks to the little angel who threw the mine: 1 dark;
Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: 471641422 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The little official at the door saluted him respectfully, Qin Hezhou nodded slightly to him, and stepped across the threshold in a whole suit, followed by an attendant.
Today is his first time in office.
When he walked to the door of the office of Du Yushi Fu Wenhe, his immediate superior, the room was solemn and silent.
The little official guarding the door knocked on the door twice, and hurried in to report.

In the dormitory of the eunuch Liang Si, the chief inspector of ceremonies, was burning incense and the stove, the fragrance was elegant and concentrated, and there were a few servants beside him fanning the wind with banana fans, while Liang Si was sitting at the desk covered with silk and writing.
The interior of his bedroom is luxuriously decorated, there is a well-ground ink stand in front of the desk, and the best wolf hair on the pen holder.

"As we all know, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for the picketing of all officials on behalf of the emperor, and it is a place of strict discipline and law, but now things are complicated in the court, and there is a shortage of manpower in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Almost all the tasks of supervision fall on 'those people'. Shaoyou is now serving as the censor of the capital, and is willing to share the worries of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and recruit wise men for His Majesty, so Shaoyou begs his father-in-law to write a letter to His Majesty explaining the current situation, and approves Shaoyou to recruit several talented people as the Metropolitan Procuratorate In addition, Shaoyou also hopes that the father-in-law will be the supervisor of this matter."
When Qin Hezhou said these words, from the corner of his eye, he kept paying attention to the expression on Liang Si's face, and also noticed the flash of surprise in the other's eyes.
Liang Si was silent for a moment, but he brushed aside the context of the matter in his mind, and when he looked at Qin Hezhou again, the expression in his eyes also changed.
I only know that the person in front of me is really not simple.
As the new official appointed by the emperor, Qin Hezhou's power was emptied, and he fell into an embarrassing situation where he was disobedient. He also came from a poor family and had no backer behind him. If he wanted to integrate into the existing forces of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it would be difficult , even if he tried his best and squeezed his head, he couldn't control Fu Wen and his men
So he simply gave up this path completely, and directly found another path.
Today, Qin Hezhou made it clear that he wanted to use his power to attract a new force for him in the name of the emperor.
Liang Si appreciated his courage, but...
"Master Qin, what you said is really good, but you also know that our family has never liked to meddle in other people's affairs. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to go to Mr. Xie, the chief assistant? What does it have to do with our family?"
Liang Si's polite refusal in his reply was very clear, and he wanted to see how Qin Hezhou would respond now.
Unexpectedly, the other party wasn't annoyed at all, and didn't show any sign of shrinking back. Instead, the smile on his face was even bigger.
"The father-in-law's question is the key point. Shaoyou came to seek help from the father-in-law today. One of the reasons is that Shaoyou is now in prison and needs a nobleman to rescue him. And the second is that this matter is only for the right people." The father-in-law is beneficial, and you need the help of the father-in-law to travel less, so why not the father-in-law?"
Hearing this, Liang Si's expression suddenly changed, but Qin Hezhou continued:
"As you know, His Majesty is very 'respectful' to Xie Jun, the chief minister of the cabinet. He is in charge of almost all important affairs of the government, including the Procuratorate. The responsibility of picketing and impeaching all officials naturally falls on Mr. Xie. Last month, Mr. Xie impeached three ministers on the grounds of 'mediocrity and incompetence', but..."
Speaking of this, Qin Hezhou suppressed the smile on his face, and there was a sharp look in his deep eyes, and he directly looked at Liang Si,
"Have you heard the words that Mr. Xie wrote to His Majesty earlier, which included 'the ceremonial supervisor is powerful, and the government should be returned to the cabinet'. The father-in-law's unwillingness to participate in the turmoil of civil servants is indeed a wise way to protect himself, but in this court Shaoyou thinks it is more appropriate to describe it with another word."
Liang Si's eyes darkened, "What words?"
Qin Hezhou looked at him and said word by word: "If you don't advance, you will retreat."
At this moment, the atmosphere became strangely silent, but the eyes of the two were still clashing. The expressions in Liang Si's eyes were changing, and the thoughts in his heart were constantly churning.
What Qin Hezhou said just now directly hit the hidden danger buried deep in his heart. Xie Jun was afraid of him, so why not him.
Their two forces have been secretly going back and forth tit for tat, and Xie Jun's repeated actions today, whether it is frequently using his personal power to promote officials, or constantly advising the emperor to reduce his own power, are seriously serious. It endangered Liang Si's interests.
It was impossible for Liang Si to sit still and die, but he suffered from Xie Jun's influence in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but Qin Hezhou came suddenly today, presenting a ready-made opportunity in front of him.
After pondering for a moment, he patted the case and said, "I've accepted your matter. I will do for you what you want, but you have to deal with the recruiting by yourself. Mr. Qin is a smart man, and he will not let you Our family is disappointed."
Seeing that he agreed, Qin Hezhou knew that it was done, bowed his hands to the other party, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your father-in-law's help, Shaoyou. Naturally, he will do this matter with all his heart and live up to the high hopes of your father-in-law and the emperor."
After finishing speaking, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Qin Hezhou left the palace.
The attendant at the door saw him coming out, and with the determined expression on his face, he knew that the matter was probably done. He thought about the next arrangement and said, "Master, you will meet with me later. Mr. Lu has an appointment, so let's go now?"
Hearing this, Qin Hezhou looked down at his clothes, brushed the ashes with his hand, thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, go home and change your clothes first."
The attendant answered "Okay" on the face, but in his heart he complained that Qin Hezhou went to see the powerful eunuch with palm prints earlier, and he didn't see him despising the ashes and said he wanted to change clothes. Why did he care so much about his appearance when he changed into Mr. Lu? coming?
·
On the other side, Xue Shaoyi and Lu Lingchuan came out of the Imperial Academy, and Xue Shaoyi casually asked about Lu Lingchuan's next arrangement.
Lu Lingchuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Shaoyou asked me to go boating on the Sugong Canal two days ago, and said he had something to discuss."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Xue Shaoyi showed a teasing smile and shook her head, "The tokens of love have been changed, it's just as simple as going boating? There are still 'things' to talk about, but I'm curious about what this is about. What? Or talk about love?"
Lu Lingchuan was ridiculed by him, so he turned his head and slapped him with his arm, "You don't have a few serious words in your mouth, so you are naturally going to talk about things. Shaoyou entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate earlier, and a few days ago He mentioned to me that the procuratorate in this capital has a lot of business, and the supervisory censor may not have enough manpower. He wanted to find some talented people, but he had not been in the capital for a long time, and he didn't have any contacts or news, so he wanted to come to me. Let's talk about it."
Xue Shaoyi immediately withdrew that teasing look, and became seriously serious. He has a wide range of acquaintances, and he has heard about Qin Hezhou's neglect in the Metropolitan Procuratorate today. He had anticipated this earlier, and even planned ahead, and privately wanted to use Lu Lingchuan's deep background in the capital to find contacts.
Xue Shaoyi tried her best to match the two before, but when Lu Lingchuan and him were a rare fate, it could be considered a hit-and-miss relationship. In addition, as his brother, Lu Lingchuan rarely met someone he liked and became emotionally enlightened.
Now that I think about it carefully, Lu Lingchuan was really moved, but what about Qin Hezhou?
As the champion of a poor family, Lu Lingchuan expressed something to him, and he responded enthusiastically. He just exchanged the token of love some time ago, and then immediately made such a request. How can there be such a coincidence?In the next second, Lu Lingchuan's sleeve was grabbed by someone, he turned his head and saw Xue Shaoyi's serious expression, "Mr. Lu, you like him now, some things are hard to understand, but I still want to remind you For a moment, you'd better think about this question carefully, is he trying to use you, or does he really like you?"
Lu Lingchuan's footsteps stopped suddenly,
What Xue Shaoyi said just now kept echoing in her mind,
He felt that his thoughts were a little blank, and there were only two words left:
"use".
The author has something to say: Brother Qin: I was really wronged. Besides, when you see your wife, of course you should dress better
