After Mrs. Zeng gave her father-in-law a look to settle accounts with you again at night, she began to greet the scholar and Huang Guan: "If I had known that the two masters were coming, I would have come out early to entertain the two, I was really embarrassed that the reception was not good before." ”

The scholar hurriedly said: "Madame is polite, we came here today to ask the county magistrate for help, how can we be embarrassed to let the two of you break the bank." "The scholar is still relatively clear about this aspect, and he is here to trouble others, and it would be a little too embarrassing to let them entertain them.

Huang Guan also said on the side: "That's right, and the things that Madame has prepared are already very good now, can we start eating?" They are all very hungry now, so they should not talk any more.

Mrs. Zeng hurriedly said, "Yes, everyone sit down." “

After Zeng Xianling sat down next to his wife, he hurriedly beckoned Wu Yong and them to start eating: "We still have something to do when we go down, if Madam wants to entertain them well, you can prepare well in the evening." ”

After Mrs. Zeng heard what Zeng County said, she also let go of her initial obsession and began to take care of everyone's meals.

Although Wu Yong was a little unaccustomed to this practice, in other people's homes, they were embarrassed to protest anything, so they could only speed up their meals, and then fled from the dinner table with Zeng County's order.

Wu Yong: "Mrs. Zeng didn't seem to be so exaggerated before, has she been stimulated by anything recently?" She and Gao Yu had also eaten at Zeng County's house before, and Mrs. Zeng's behavior was quite normal at that time.

Zeng Xianling didn't know how his wife could become like this, so he could only guess: "She didn't know you well before, but now that Wei Zhen's child is studying in the academy, that's why she has become so enthusiastic." Zeng County Ling felt that his speculation was quite reliable.

Wu Yong shuddered, turned his head and proposed to the scholar and Huang Guan: "Let's not eat dinner here, right?" At noon, this was still on the basis of no preparation, and in the evening, when Mrs. Zeng was completely ready, Wu Yong was a little worried that the scholar and Huang Guan would not be able to bear it.

The scholar and Huang Guan also looked apprehensive, but they still had to ask for the consent of Zeng County's order for this matter, after all, he had said before that he would keep them for dinner.

Zeng County Ling was also a little embarrassed at this time: "If you really don't want to stay here for dinner, you can leave directly, and I'll go and tell my wife." ”

Wu used them to pit Zeng County's order: "When the time comes, we will go and say it ourselves, it's not good to trouble you." "After all, Zeng Xianling and Mrs. Zeng will have to live for a long time in the future, and if there is a conflict, it will not affect their relationship.

After discussing how to say goodbye to Mrs. Zeng later, Wu Yong and them began to do today's business: "Please ask Zeng County Commander to start selecting people for us here." ”

Zeng Xianling nodded, took the half-arm-thick information, and began to look carefully: "Most of the talents here have good character, but you want to invite the master, so it is not good to invite those people who have too many people in the family, they have so many family members, but it will be a kind of stumbling block for them or for your mother at that time." ”

Wu Yong nodded, watching him brush away all the literati who had already started a family and had a huge family.

By this time, that information had been cut in half.

Next, Zeng County's order brushed off those people with mediocre learning: "These people are just literate." ”

Now, the data is missing by a fifth.

Zeng County Ling continued: "Among these people, although some of them are only single, they have close contacts with some officials of the DPRK and China, and I think they are not suitable for you to be invited to be masters, because these people are very likely to become spies. ”

Another third was removed.

Wu watched Zeng County Order turn the originally half-arm-thick information into only a dozen or so pieces now, and asked tremblingly: "There shouldn't be any problems among these people, right?"

Zeng County Ling said with a little regret: "I can't find anything wrong with these people, it depends on whether you meet when you go to visit." "It's been a long time since I've been so upright and critical of others, and Zeng County couldn't help but feel a little regretful after completing it.

Wu Yong asked silently: "Have you ever been in the Ministry of Officials before?" In her impression, only those officials in the Ministry of Officials, whether they are big officials or small officials, are habitually picky when they see a person, and there are very few people who can be recognized by them.

Zeng County Ling nodded: "After I got the Jinshi exam, I did work as a junior official in the Ministry of Officials for a period of time. It was also during that time that he developed such a keen eye, as long as anyone stood in front of him, he could say one, two, three, four, five.

However, this kind of temperament is not good to show in front of his wife, and he has always been suppressed, and it is rare to be able to play so happily at this time, Zeng Xianling makes the whole person feel refreshed.

Wu nodded in understanding, took the ten pages of information in his hand, looked at the scholar and Huang Guan, and found that they had not yet reacted, so he began to look at it himself.

These ten pages of information are very thin, and after reading them, Wu Yong handed them to the scholar and Huang Guan and asked them to take a look at them as well: "You guys also take a look, we have to choose the person to visit first when the time comes." ”

The scholar and Huang Guan were a little dazed and took the information in Wu Yong's hand, and looked at it slowly, while Wu Yong chatted with Zeng County Ling on the side: "These literati in the county, you should have seen them, are there any that you think is easier to relax?"

Zeng County Order: "Although I have seen them, you also know that I basically use people brought by myself, so I haven't tried to invite them, and you can only do it yourself." ”

Wu nodded in understanding, but in this case, there was no need for them to choose, just follow the order.

Wu Yong looked at the scholar and Huang Guan: "Have you finished reading?"

The scholar and Huang looked at each other: "It's almost there." When they were watching, they also heard what Wu Yong and Zeng County Ling said, so they proposed: "Then let's each draw one out and be the candidate for our visit tomorrow?"

Wu Yong nodded: "This method is good, please ask Zeng County Commander to help us mess up the order." ”

Zeng County Ling was naturally willing to help, took the ten pieces of information, turned his back to Wu Yong, and began to deal with them.

When Zeng Xianling turned to face them, the ten pieces of information had been folded into bookmarks, and they couldn't see what was written on them at all, effectively avoiding the possibility of Wu using them to peek.
