Be a master through ancient times

After the official document was handed in, the man did not come out for a long time.Chu Ci waited at the door for a long time, then asked the other officials at the door to go in and have a look, but was rejected as expected.After being rejected, he calmed down instead, turned around and walked outside.

"Hey, wait, haven't you seen Mr. Futai?" Another servant guarding the door asked.

Chu Ci smiled and said: "I'm afraid Master Futai is busy with other people, so it's not good for me to wait at this door. If someone with a heart sees it and thinks that Master Futai is deliberately trying to give me a blow, wouldn't it be detrimental?" Master Futai’s Qingyu? I’d better come back tomorrow, and I’m not in a hurry to take office in a day or two.”

After finishing speaking, he walked down the steps and walked slowly towards the carriage parked across the street.

When he was approaching the carriage, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "My lord, the governor is here to welcome you!"

Chu Ci turned his head and saw that the yamen who had delivered the official documents for him before was chasing after him and shouting.

"The Governor is free now?"

"That's right, the governor just finished talking with the other adults, and when he saw the young one handing over the official document, he immediately asked the adults to come in, without delay." sweat.

Now that there were steps, Chu Ci didn't say anything more, and followed the man back.

Walking all the way from the gate of the yamen to the corner of the hall, before Chu Ci could move forward, he heard a voice: "This Zhuangyuan Lang is so temperamental."

"Hey, young people, there are some youthful vigor. What's more, this is indeed something that the old man did not do properly. Once the official business comes, he forgets about other things." Another voice said, a little bit compared to the previous sentence. Bitter words, this person's words immediately make people feel good.

The corners of Chu Ci's mouth rose slightly, as if he had heard something very interesting.After walking around the corner, Chu Ci came to the door.The voices inside stopped abruptly after realizing his arrival. At this moment, they all looked outside, waiting quietly for the person to come.

Chu Ci walked into the hall, first saluted the lord in the main seat, and said: "I am an official, Chu Ci, and pay my respects to Lord Futai."

"The number one scholar, please get up." Master Futai said kindly, and when Chu Ci got up, he let out a slightly exaggerated surprise.

When other people asked the reason, Master Futai smiled and said: "In the past, I heard that Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang's face was like a crown jade, and his appearance was outstanding, and he stole Tan Hualang's limelight. Understand what is called groundless rumors, not necessarily without reason."

The others immediately followed suit and praised Chu Ci's appearance, wishing to compare him to Pan An Songyu for a moment before giving up.

If it is an ordinary scholar, hearing people talk about their appearance so recklessly, they will feel offended in their hearts, and it will show a little bit on their faces.However, when they were talking, Chu Ci was able to keep smiling all the time, standing gracefully in the hall and letting everyone watch, as if he was not the protagonist of other people's discussion at all.

The few officials who spoke vigorously looked at each other, and couldn't help but praise in their hearts. Seeing his demeanor, it's no wonder that he was personally selected as the number one scholar by the emperor.

The voice gradually disappeared, and Mr. Futai also seemed to realize it suddenly: "Zhuangyuan Lang, why don't you sit down? Come here, quickly serve the Zhuangyuan Lang tea."

After Chu Ci thanked him, he didn't refuse, and sat down directly in the lower seat.

"Your Majesty Futai, please call me by my first name. Don't call me the official number one. I dare not show off my shallow knowledge in front of all the adults. You call me like this, it really makes the official So ashamed."

"Hehe, Mr. Chu is too modest. Who doesn't know that you are the first three-yuan and number one scholar since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty. If you have only superficial knowledge, wouldn't we be in the bottom?" the official said with a smile.

"The adults are joking."

Chu Ci could hear the sourness in his words, and only passed it off in one sentence, not going to delve into this issue.

"Master Chu, I have read your official documents before the letter from the official department. I would like to thank the people of Zhangzhou Prefecture. Your help in such a timely manner can be regarded as solving a big problem for the old man. I must have Chu My lord, the means you have used in teaching and educating people will immediately make Zhangzhou Mansion look upright again, and the sound of books will be resounding. As for the Futai Yamen, within two or three days, the guard of honor can be handed over to everyone. You set it up, and when the time comes, you will be able to take office immediately."

"Your Excellency, you are absurd. Zhangzhou Prefecture, and even the entire Southern Fujian Province, have always been known for their simple and honest folk customs under the governance of your lords. It is not an exaggeration to call it a peach blossom garden. It is the icing on the cake. How dare you say yes? What about sending charcoal in the snow?" Chu Ci said seriously, this old guy clearly dug a hole for him to jump in, if he really admits it, doesn't it mean that he believes that the atmosphere in Zhangzhou Mansion is not good, and the officials have not managed it well?At that time, the hatred will be full before others go there.

"Haha, Master Chu is just too modest. Look, it's not too early today. Master Chu came to our Southern Fujian Province for the first time, so I will be the host of this official, and let Master Chu have a taste of it. All the colors of our Southern Fujian are fine, and please ask Mr. Chu to show you some face." Mr. Futai invited.

Chu Ci nodded in agreement, saying "It's disrespectful", then followed Futai and other adults to get up, and walked behind them respectfully.

Nanmin Province is in the shape of a long strip on the map of the Great Wei Dynasty. The state capital extends along the long coastline, and there is almost no place that does not live by the sea.Although the provincial capital is not on the seashore like other places, it is only three or five hours away from the nearest bay.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea.Living by the sea, what we eat is naturally related to the sea.In the past, when Chu Ci traveled from the capital to and from the capital, he also spent a lot of time on the boat. He had seen the sailors lower their nets to catch those seafood. Unfortunately, he was a little seasick at that time, and he was not used to their most original way of eating. , so no blessing to accept.

At this moment, looking at the carefully cooked seafood feast on the table, he couldn't help but twitch his index finger.He hasn't eaten these things since time travelling.

"Lord Chu, our Southern Fujian Province is in a desolate place, and we don't have any good things. We only have these seafood for entertainment. Please don't feel neglected."

"Master Futai, you are polite. Everyone knows that abalone's winged belly is the best taste in the world. I am lucky to be an official today, and my lord has invited such an authentic seafood feast. It will be regarded as one more thing to remember in the future." Chu Ci Make a grateful look, such a gesture of appreciation, so that the host of the treat will have a lot of face.

"Oh, it seems that Master Chu has a lot of research on eating. Why don't you tell me, what kind of wine is most suitable for eating this seafood?"

Chu Ci pondered for a long time, and said: "I heard that the most famous winery in Southern Fujian Province is called Daxing Winery, and there is a kind of wine in it called "May Yuehong". It would go well with this seafood."

The adults at the table looked at each other, and once again saw a trace of surprise in their eyes.It seems that Chuci should not be underestimated. He has already inquired about the things here when he was still in Nanfu.

"That's right, Lord Chu really knows how to eat. Come on, May Red..."

As soon as Mr. Futai finished speaking, Xiao Er came over with a basin.The warm May Red inside, exuding a mellow smell from time to time as Xiao Er walks around, even those who don't like wine very much will arouse the wine worm in their stomachs.

During the banquet, Chu Ci's eating posture also made these people feel that he was quite rich again.Generally speaking, people who do not rely on the sea will feel a little uncomfortable when eating seafood for the first time, but this Chu Ci, whether it is eating crabs or other things, looks like it can handle it with ease, presumably it has been specially practiced.

Of course, it wasn't just them, Chu Ci also roughly figured out the characters of these people during this meal.However, Master Futai is so scheming, how can it be so easy to figure out a province's feudal officials?Chu Ci has reason to believe that he made that benevolent and kind appearance on purpose.After all, he was not in vain for his sternness before he entered the door.If he was really as kind and tolerant as he showed, how could he come up with such a move?

Since this is the first time we have met, both sides are tentative. For the convenience of communication, there is no scene of continuous toasting.Therefore, after the banquet was over, Chu Ci could still bid farewell to them soberly, and then stepped into the carriage where Zhang Hu came to pick him up.

The next day, Chuci packed himself up and visited the prefect and governor in turn, and then went to the Zhengti Academy in Southern Fujian Province. After all, this is his immediate boss in the future.

Zhengti School in Southern Fujian Province, surnamed Du Mingyu, was also a very famous scholar in the past.Although he is old now, he still has clear eyes and ears, looks radiant, and his eyes are piercing, which makes people dare not underestimate him.

"Xiaguan Chuci, I have met Mr. Zheng Tixue."

"Sit down. Master Tai Tuo wrote me a letter, saying that you are a rare talent in educating people, so let's talk about this aspect today." Du Yu cut to the point, and even a word of nonsense No.

"Thanks to Mrs. Wen's blue eyes, but being an official is not a talent."

"Don't be too modest, just chat casually." Du Yu said, "I heard what you said in Yuanshan County a few days ago. The most important of them, then I want to know, what is the teaching of the teacher? What exactly should the students do to become the sage in your heart?"
