This house is so grand.

Chen Gui invited Lu Haoshan to the banquet, but this banquet was a family banquet. The style was the first impression Lu Haoshan saw Chen's house for the first time. There were blue bricks, green tiles and pink walls, two mighty stone lions standing in front of the door desk, four evil slaves with fierce faces stood by the threshold, and on the lintel of the gate, the two big words "Chen's house" were written on the lintel of the gate.

In ancient times, there were clear levels. Not everyone could claim to be the king or the official, nor could anyone call him a mansion or a mansion. Although Chen Gui's house was comparable to Li Xiangcai's house in Zhushan Village, covering a wide area and rich decoration, it took a lot of effort, but due to fame and status, the little county magistrate only dared to call himself a "house".

"It's so rude to come to the grand ceremony, and the officials are in a hurry to welcome him." Just as Lu Haoshan sighed that Chen Gui had plundered many people's money and ointments in this mansion, the gate suddenly opened. Chen Gui led his two sons to greet him in person.

"You don't have to be polite to County Chief Chen, I just arrived." After more than a month of concealment, Lu Haoshan no longer had his nostrils facing the sky and expressionless when he just took office, but said to Chen Gui with a smile.

Sure enough, with short hands and soft mouths, Chen Gui thought to himself: The eighty taels of money for the pen are not in vain. Thinking about the first time we met, it was not so kind and thoughtful.

"Awen Awu, this is the county magistrate, why don't you salute quickly?"

The two young men following Chen Gui quickly saluted Lu Haoshan and said, "Greetings to the old parents."

The county magistrate is the parents of the people in the country. Many scholars call the county magistrate an old parent, which is different from the title of ordinary people. Needless to say, these two are scholars.

Lu Haoshan narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Chen, are these two young men your sons?"

"What young master?" Chen Gui quickly said modestly: "Boon son, Chen Wen, Chen Wu, these two incompetent things were only taken for scholarship. Chen Wen went to take the exam for the scholar, but Chen Wu was still in a state of vain. He really broke his heart. He is a Jinshi of the Tianqi, and he is a great man who is well-educated. Please give me more advice to the county magistrate."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Lu Haoshan made a fucking fuck.

It is a trick to use the free time to collect the two as disciples, and to manage them slowly, and to use the influence of the Chen clan to slowly control Jiangyou County. Unfortunately, it is not enough to wait for me now. Lu Haoshan does not want to spend this effort, and he is even more reluctant to give advice to these two so-called "backwards".

Besides, the Chen family is the biggest stumbling block for their own control of Jiangyou County, so naturally they don’t want to have too many feelings and ties.

The character named Chen Wen, who was smart, reminded Chen Gui on the side: "Dad, let's welcome your parents in quickly. They have been at the door for so long."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm afraid that I'll forget when I see the adults. Sir, the official has prepared a family dinner and invites you here." Chen Gui said while making a gesture of invitation.

"Please." Lu Haoshan was not polite, nodded and walked in first, while Chen Gui was slightly behind half a position and followed the index, looking very attentive.

As soon as I entered, I saw a garden in the house, trees in the garden, pool beside the trees, fish in the pond, rockery, pavilion, and side corridors dotted with them. The design is clever and the mountains are covered with obstacles. Lu Haoshan did not expect that there was such a beautiful house in a small place like Jiangyou. He couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, County Magistrate Chen, the garden in your house is made by famous masters, well, it has the style of Suyuan."

"As aware of it, the person who designed this small garden was indeed a famous teacher from Suzhou Prefecture. Unexpectedly, the adults were well-educated and had such research on gardens." Chen Gui complimented on the side.

"No, I have accompanied my mentor to travel around the gardens in Suzhou, and I have some understanding of it."

Chen Gui felt nervous and asked quickly, "I wonder who he is a master?"

A nerd like this can also find an official position, either with money or with great care. However, as far as Lu Haoshan is concerned about his style and clothes, the new county magistrate is very likely to be from a poor family, and there is probably not much silver. There is still a higher chance of "there are people above". Now Lu Haoshan accidentally said that he traveled to Suzhou gardens with his mentor, and Chen Gui suddenly became nervous.

Land annexation became popular in the late Ming Dynasty, and the famous gardens in Suzhou were either divided by high-ranking officials or occupied by wealthy businessmen. They were not simple characters. However, Lu Haoshan’s mentor could visit them one by one, so the background must be quite large. If you find out clearly, there will definitely be no harm.

"Don't joke when you say it, County Magistrate Chen. The mentor said that Lu was dull. If he said it, it would damage his reputation. He was not allowed to speak out, and he could not act under his banner. It was hard to say anything." Lu Haoshan said, shook his head, as if he was talking about something very disgraceful.

"Sir, I'm really joking. This is what makes the master love and hate him. Perhaps it is deliberately used to encourage him to be eager to learn and improve himself." Chen Gui was a little dissatisfied, but he still said consciously.

"I hope so." Lu Haoshan didn't want to talk about this issue anymore. He could do his own mysterious purpose, so he would not make many mistakes. So he deliberately staggered the topic: "Mr. Chen, your house is really grand. I guess looking at the entire Jiangyou, it is the most particular place here."

If someone else praised his house, if Chen Gui was in a good mood, he would definitely introduce it. However, everyone who asked was the new county magistrate. He immediately explained: "Sir, this is the foundation passed down by Chen's ancestors. The ancestors finally saved some foundation.

However, Chen failed many tests and finally could only become a county magistrate. The salary of this county magistrate not only did not take the money home, but also offered the parents to cultivate the younger generation, but instead required family subsidies. Adults and others appeared to be glamorous, but they were just a fat man, but they were just a fat man. In fact, they were unable to make ends meet in the morning. In fact, the industry of the Chen clan declined in Chen's hands. Alas, it was hard to look back and not to say anything."

If the new county feels that the food, clothing and food are better than that of him, I am afraid that the heart will be the target of public criticism. The most feared thing is that the boss thinks that these are the proceeds of corruption and bribery, so he will not be able to live in peace.

"Well, it's not bad," Lu Haoshan echoed: "Mr. Chen is dedicated to serving the public, working hard and loving the people. I think the people of Jiangyou will be grateful."

If he hadn't been to Jiangyou in advance to inquire, Lu Haoshan would have deceived this old fox. Chen Gui was a domineering person in Jiangyou County. He used his position in the government to indulge his children in the clan to bully the city and the fish countryside. In Jiangyou County, as long as there are good things, he would do everything possible to take over. Many ordinary people secretly called him Chen Sanchi, meaning that he wanted to scrape Sanchi away from Jiangyou County.

Now it's just a matter of vain to him.

Chen Gui was happy when he heard this, thinking that money could make the devil push the mill. The eighty taels of silver were worth it. If it were a month ago, this Qingtiaoqing would not have been allowed to send someone to investigate his own problems. But now, not only has his attitude significantly improved, but he also has a biased and protective voice in his words, which made Chen Gui secretly happy.

"Sir, you're too proud." Chen Gui said with a pleasing smile: "Sir, please come here, and the official has prepared a banquet. Please come here."

Lu Haoshan did not refuse, and Xin walked forward, Chen Gui followed behind and took advantage of Lu Haoshan's inattention, and turned his head to whisper to the butler Chen Fu: "Let Zi'er dress up and proceed as planned."

"Yes, master" Chen Fu responded and quietly retreated.

Although something happened, Lu Haoshan accidentally caught Chen Gui off guard and even took a gambler, but he decided to implement a beauty plan on Lu Haoshan: If Lu Haoshan's mentor doesn't care about him or just brag about him, then he will treat him as a scapegoat without hesitation; if Lu Haoshan's backer is very hard and the relationship is very strong, it doesn't matter. With Zi'er, it's as the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the cool under the big tree, maybe he can hold his thick legs and rise from now on~~~~
