With less than a month to go before the Chinese New Year, it is said that preparing for a marriage is a bit hasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut the Qiongzhou battalion wants money, money, people, and once you make up your mind to do something, the efficiency is extremely amazing. A large number of people poured into Lin Weiye's newly built residence, put up lanterns and arranged the wedding room, although Liu Quan was already the head of Tiannan Commercial Bank, but offered to be the steward of the wedding banquet. He was originally a housekeeper, and he was familiar with this kind of thing. Lin Weiye is not interested in this kind of political wedding banquet, let alone taking the initiative to worry about it, and having capable people do it for him is naturally happy.

The wedding banquet was organized here, and the invitations were quickly sent to officials at all levels in Qiongzhou Prefecture and County.

Originally, in the summer, Nan wanted to have a "wide spread of heroes" and recruit all the thirteen counties of the three prefectures of Qiongzhou Prefecture, but was dissuaded by Sima De: not to mention how long it will take for Lehui and Wanxian to bypass most of Qiongzhou Island to reach Lingao, even if it can catch up with the wedding banquet, it is just a number, the ruling center of Qiongzhou Mansion is in Qiongshan County, the capital city, as long as it can deter Fucheng and several counties around Lingao, it is enough, there is no need to reluctantly travel thousands of miles to the banquet in remote states and counties, and suffer resentment.

In the summer, Nanyi thought about it, it was difficult to walk by land in these years, there was neither a highway nor a high-speed railway, and the middle was separated by the Wuzhi Mountain Range, which was known as the "roof of Hainan", and the officials were reluctant to go to sea and take the waterway easily, and the officials of Wanxian County and other places rushed to Lingao for fear that the daylily would be cold, so they were as good as a stream, and only sent invitations to Fucheng and Lingao, Chengmai, Danzhou, Changhua and other counties. Chengmai and Danzhou are close to Lingao, and Changhua has a Shilu iron mine, and large-scale mining in the future must be cooperated by Changhua County, and the opportunity of the wedding banquet must be completely grasped.

Wu Mingjin of Linkochi County was "honored" to be the first to receive the invitation, who called him the latest? Since betraying Jinyiwei, Wu Daxian Ling has no way out, he can only go all the way to the black, hugging the thigh of the Qiongzhou camp tightly, his first reaction after receiving the invitation is how to raise a decent gift to show his sincerity.

Following Wu Mingjin, other states and counties also received invitations one after another. Needless to say, Chengmai and Danzhou are close to Lingao, and the combat strength of the Qiongzhou battalion is very clear, and the officials of the two counties ask themselves if they don't have the former governor Wang Zunde and the former general soldier He Rubin, how dare not come, and the more remote states and counties dare not offend this ruthless character who can defeat the official army, although they did not receive an invitation, after hearing the news of the wedding banquet held by the Qiongzhou battalion, most of them took the initiative to send congratulatory stickers, and attached gift money.

These magistrates can put down their bodies, but Qin Bingyan, the dignified prefect of Qiongzhou, is not so free. He sat in the study, looking at the invitation on the desk, with a sad face.

Speaking of which, he was the first court official to make a move to Xia Nan, but everyone knows what happened to him, not only were thousands of officers and soldiers of the guard station beaten back, but he was also worried about being attacked by the other party, and for a long time he was trembling and walking on thin ice, and he was unable to organize a counterattack, and he did not dare to ask for help. After the army sent by the governor of Liangguang was also defeated by Yu Bofu, he had no idea.

Now that the Qiongzhou battalion has sent the invitation to the door, how to deal with this hot invitation has given Qin Bingyan a headache. has been in the officialdom for a long time, how can those who can sit in the position of the prefect not know the intention of the Qiongzhou battalion: Daming has been noble and martial for many years, when did a general dare to send an invitation to the prefect for a wedding banquet, not to mention that the groom official is only a subordinate of Xia Nan? His drunken intention is not to drink, but to use this opportunity to give the prefect yamen a dismount!

How can you say that you are also a dignified five-grade prefect, the number one person in Qiongzhou officialdom, is it possible to be intimidated by the obscenity of that martial artist? Qin Bingyan shook his head and summoned the messenger outside the door and asked him to invite his master. When the messenger walked to the door, he thought about it and added: "Invite Zhao Tongzhi as well." ”

His master is also surnamed Qin, he is an old man from his own family, and he has followed the old man since he was the magistrate, not to mention how shrewd and capable, but he is loyal enough and trustworthy.

There is no need to be polite between the two, Master Qin directly stated his opinion: "If Dong Weng deigns to go to the banquet, he will not only fall into the laughing stock of Guangdong officialdom, but will inevitably leave an impression of being timid and afraid in the hearts of Futai and Taiwan, and if you want to be promoted in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult......"

Qin Bingyan sighed, these masters didn't say that he knew it. In the past two hundred years, it has gradually evolved into a situation of civil nobility and military inferiority, and civilian officials have a natural sense of superiority in front of military attachés, not to mention that food and salary are in the hands of civilian cliques. Don't say that the generals, even the general soldiers of Zhengyipin can't hold up their prestige in front of civilian officials, and a soldier can call them around.

It stands to reason that a mere staff general should not send the invitation to the prefect's yamen at all, because this is self-inflicted humiliation, but the crux of the matter is that Nan is not an ordinary staff general this summer, he climbed to this position by stepping on the heads of thousands of officers and soldiers, and he can be self-sufficient in terms of food and salary, and he doesn't need to look at the face of the civilian official at all.

At this time, Tongzhi Zhao Yue also came. Although Zhao Yue is a deputy position, unlike other state capitals, he has a very good relationship with Qin Bingyan, the main hall, and the two of them will try to get the Zhongjin Shi, and the teachers are both current Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholars and Crown Prince Taibao Wu Zongda, which is considered to be the same door. When Qin Bingyan was a jinshi, Wu Zongda was the country's son of the priest, and when Zhao Yuezhong was a jinshi, Wu Zongda had already entered the cabinet, and he was a scholar of Dongge University with Wen Tiren.

Scholars are very particular about the same year, the same family, and the place of origin, and most of the various factions in the officialdom also come from this. The master is the same person, and his old man is in a high position, as the two people of the same family happen to be in the remote Qiongzhou Mansion as officials, so they naturally cherish each other. Qin Bingyan called him over, firstly, because he could trust him, and secondly, he wanted to hear his advice.

Zhao Yue looked at the content of the invitation, groaned slightly, and said to Qin Bingyan: "Futai can't look forward and backward, this wedding banquet must be gone!" ”

Without waiting for Qin Bingyan to ask, Master Qin said in surprise: "Why did Lord Zhao say this?" Dong Weng is the respect of a house, bowing his head to this martial artist, isn't it condescending to his dignity, degrading his identity, and seeing his colleagues in the future, how can he hold his head up? ”

Zhao Yue sneered: "Master is a blind eye that can't see Mount Tai." He turned to Qin Bingyan and said, "Futai Mingjian: This summer, the southern murderer is famous, and tens of thousands of troops in Guangdong have become ghosts under his sword, and they must not be taken lightly. In addition, he has the skill to accumulate wealth, and he can be self-sufficient in food and salary, except for a title, what can the court give him? ”

This is very clear, Xia Nan will fight and make money, but he can't fight, and he can't get stuck in terms of food and salary, and the court can't restrain him, so he can only be gentle. Such a character, it's too late to appease, and he takes the initiative to offend, I'm afraid that the birthday boy hanged himself - it's a long life. (To be continued.) )
