The two had a good chat, and Hai Rui invited Zhao Zhenji to stay at Songjiang Yamen for the first time and have lunch together.
In line with the principle of putting aside official status and being both scholars and deepening their relationship, Zhao Zhenji gave up the idea of going to the Xu family immediately. Originally, I was celebrating my birthday tomorrow, so I decided to stay at the Songjiang Prefecture Yamen and have a working meal together.
As a result, when he turned to the side hall and saw the small table, Zhao Zhenji had some bad thoughts.
When two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and two bowls of rice were served later, Zhao Zhenji was dumbfounded.
In addition to the fishy smell, there is no meat in the meat dishes, so it’s embarrassing to call them meat dishes
“Is this how we do reception work?” I finally suppressed the question in my heart. He just thought that Hai Rui was ignorant of the world.
After all, he is a prefect, why is he so shabby?
Actually, Zhao Zhenji completely misunderstood Hai Rui.
In fact, the current situation has been greatly improved after the food.
When I was the magistrate of Shanghai and Chun'an counties, my wife cooked in the kitchen. The meal is basically a vegetarian stew in a big pot, only a little oily during the holidays.
Songjiang Mansion is now very busy with affairs and needs the yamen to provide food uniformly, so that they can eat in the yamen right away. Songjiang, thanks to Shanghai Port, has sufficient financial resources to provide every meal with meat and vegetables.
Of course, the prefect, the scribes, and the servants share the same pot. There is no small stove and no special offerings. So it can only be like this. If it were really a big deal, no one would be able to afford it.
"Why. Zhao Futai can't eat what he has today. You have to thank the Xu family. I asked the clerk to give three kilograms of beef as a gift early in the morning. But he was rejected and returned. Otherwise, There is no smell of beef today. In the past, it was only chicken, duck, and pork." After Hai Rui finished speaking, he laughed and started eating. A chopstick picked up an inconspicuous piece of beef.
"Why did you offend Xu Ge's family?" Hai Rui's words made Zhao Zhenji even more afraid to eat.
It just got stuck for a while. The keen Zhao Zhenji immediately moved his chopsticks to pick up the last piece of beef in the bowl. The fact is that there were only three pills in total before. < /p>
Hai Rui finally became bold after watching Zhao Zhenji grab the last piece of beef.
"It is true that Xu Ge is always my teacher. But as the European Plato or Plato said, I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more. We are friends in logic, and this is More important than anything else. You must also believe that Mr. Xu Ge is not unreasonable."
"Haha, it's not Plato or Plato. I remember it was said by one of this person's students." Hai Rui quickly agreed, but did not answer whether he should have confidence in Mr. Xu Ge.
Although the two of them ate simply,Crude, but quite enjoyable.
Before leaving, Hai Rui paid attention to the movements of the censor Zou Yinglong, the chief eunuch of the Internal Audit Bureau Yang Jinshui, and the two grandsons of the Yan family.
Zhao Zhenji was even more grateful after getting the information. It was just the expression on his face that he originally wanted to invite Hai Rui to go with him. When Hai Rui sent him out of the Songjiang government office, he still held back.
If you are a true friend, don’t force yourself on the other person.
After thinking about it, Zhao Zhenji felt much more relaxed. He shouted to the groom to speed up and went straight to Xu's house in Huating. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
