The leader was a middle-aged man with a round face and a smile.
"Young life magician, Master Li Qingxian." Lou Yushan said with a smile.
The four people stood up in a hurry, and the chairs moved back, making a harsh friction sound.
"Look up to me for a long time!" The four of them clasped their fists together.
The two of them walked to the table. Lou Yushan introduced Li Qingxian with a smile: "This is the head of the finance room of our Department of Civil Artifacts, Mr. Duan Qing. The person next to him is..."
Lou Yushan introduced the four people one by one, and Li Qingxian greeted them one by one.
Except for Duan Qing, who is of the seventh rank, the others are either of the eighth or ninth rank, and they are all respectful.
Duan Qing smiled and said: "Master Li is really a talented person. Just now Xiaoshan pulled you in, and I thought you were a young master from the Duke's Mansion. Please take a seat."
After saying that, Duan Qing left his position.
Li Qingxian declined calmly: "Master Duan is too polite. I heard Mr. Lou say that you are here and specially come to toast a glass of wine. There is no reason to sit in the main seat. You must not do it."
Everyone said a few polite words, sat down, and ordered someone to bring new bowls and chopsticks.
Li Qingxian knew many people from the Civil Equipment Department of the Ministry of Industry, but these people were from the financial department of the Civil Equipment Department and had never interacted with them.
The only intersection between the two parties was the wine shop. After a brief exchange of greetings, the topic turned to the wine shop.
In the future, the winery will bring at least one hundred thousand taels of income to the Ministry of Industry every year. In addition, Liu Muwa occasionally mentioned Li Qingxian to the Ministry of Industry. Duan Qing was full of praise for Li Qingxian, and several other low-level officials also praised Li Qingxian.
Young and promising.
Lou Yushan was disappointed for a while when he heard that Li Qingxian only called him Mr. Lou. However, seeing that everyone spoke so highly of Li Qingxian, he quickly sobered up, calmed down his emotions, and praised Li Qingxian.
Everyone exchanged glasses, exchanged cups, and after a while, they drank more than a dozen cups. Even though Li Qingxian was already at the eighth level and had strong magical power, he drank too much and was still drunk.
The other people had drunk a lot, so they all started to get drunk.
Li Qingxian thought that these people were regulars at the wine table. He didn't know how long they had been drinking, so he stood up and raised his glass: "Qingxian is really lucky to meet you all by chance. However, our house chief and supervisor are waiting for me. I'm here."
It’s almost two-quarters of an hour. If you don’t go back, they will be worried about you. I’ll give you a final toast.”
The five people then stood up, had a drink, and then tried to persuade them to stay.
Li Qingxian had made up his mind to leave, and no one stopped him.
"Master Li, wait a moment." Duan Qing said, taking out a large copper plate from the fish bag beside him.
Li Qingxian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that even a seventh-grade official like him would have a messenger plate. Generally speaking, only fifth-grade officials would hold it unless there was a temporary move.
Duan Qing saw the change in Li Qingxian, and the smile on his face became even brighter, and he said: "Logically speaking, I, the head of the seventh-grade house, are not qualified to wear amulets. However, the Civil War Department has been booming recently, and Master Liu and Biao
Uncle appreciates it. In order to facilitate me to deal with official duties quickly, I asked the Ministry of officials to give me a charm plate. On this charm plate, I only used six characters out of the eight characters, and there are two characters left empty. It's not that I can't find anyone, but the number of characters is limited.
, can only be left to more important things.”
Lou Yushan said hurriedly: "What Mr. Duan is saying is that a few days ago, I heard an adult from the Tuntian Division complain about not being able to get your disk charm."
Duan Qing sighed and said: "I can't help it. My cousin said that one talisman must always be empty on the communication talisman plate, because no one knows which noble person will suddenly meet."
Lou Yushan kept winking at Li Qingxian, asking Li Qingxian to take the initiative to ask for the talisman.
Li Qingxian hesitated. He only had one communication talisman plate on his face, but the eight talismans on it were already full. It would be too ostentatious to take out the second one now.
While Li Qingxian was hesitating, Duan Qing smiled and said, "Master Li, do you have a messenger plate?"
Everyone looked at Li Qingxian with envy in their eyes.
Even Lou Yushan, whose family has a middle-class member who works in the Ministry of Industry, is the same. Compared with Duan Qing's cousin, his family's power is really nothing. There is at least two thresholds between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Personnel.
Li Qingxian said helplessly: "Thank you, Master Duan, for your kindness, but all eight of my charm plates are full."
Everyone secretly looked at Duan Qing, but Duan Qing smiled and said calmly: "Just change it."
Li Qingxian knew that the other party intended to make friends and was not malicious, so he had no choice but to take out the communication charm plate, tap the center lightly, the charm plate stood up, and the eight flying talismans unfolded.
Li Qingxian pointed to a red-striped yellow-based talisman and said, "This first one belongs to Mr. Zhou Chunfeng Zhou, Director of the Patrol Division."
Everyone nodded slightly. Li Qingxian was indeed as legendary as the one who was loved by Zhou Chunfeng.
"This second one belongs to Mr. Zhou Henzhou. I usually contact him often."
Two of the officials looked envious. Crazy Zhou's reputation was as loud as thunder, and he was a well-known military general even among the river guards.
"This is my senior sister, Concubine Jiang You." Li Qingxian said.
Everyone didn't pay attention at first, but then their eyes widened. They had heard the name Fairy Qingcheng too much, and they were half a beat slower when they heard Li Qingxian directly address Jiang Youfei by her name.
Lou Yushan looked at Li Qingxian, his heart burning.
Everyone looked at Li Qingxian with serious eyes again.
She was a saint from a first-class Taoist sect, and she was deeply loved by the Queen Mother. It would be a huge benefit to just mention her in the palace.
What's more, at such a young age, Li Qingxian not only got to know high-ranking officials in the imperial court, but was also close to the Taoist sect, and his network of contacts was far wider than imagined.
"This fourth picture is from Master Song Yunjing."
Everyone had long thought that Li Qingxian helped Song Yunjing rewrite the poem after all.
"This fifth one belongs to the good young master Shen Xiaoyi, the young master of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce." Li Qingxian said.
Other court officials didn't care too much when they heard Shen Xiaoyi's name, but these were all finance and finance officials who were very concerned about business affairs. When they heard Shen Xiaoyi's name, they had the same reaction as when they heard Jiang Youfei.
"Qingxian, I didn't expect you to have such a wide range of friends." Duan Qing sighed, and the only trace of displeasure on his face completely dissipated.
Others don't know, but he often deals with money, and he knows the power of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce best. On the surface, it is just a businessman, but behind it is the cooperation of many wealthy families in Jiangnan. Shen Xiaoyi is a guest of the governor of Jiangnan, and even the fifth and sixth grades can see it.
Don't dare to overdo it.
"This sixth person is Mr. Guo Xiangguo, the headmaster of the Black Lantern Division. He usually teaches me some fortune-telling techniques." Li Qingxian said.
Everyone nodded. The name of the Black Lantern Division was not prominent among the people, but it was well-known in the court. Every Pian Si Zheng was a true fortune-teller, much more noble than ordinary fifth-rank officials.
"The seventh one is the supervisor of our North Road Department and works in the inner factory. Mr. Fei Yanfei usually needs to be contacted by the Talisman."
When everyone heard that it was from the inner factory, most of them sobered up.
"Everyone knows this last one, Mr. Liu Muwa and Mr. Liu."
Everyone looked helpless, the top leader of the Civil Equipment Department.
These eight people, not to mention Duan Qing, even Duan Qing's cousin can't compare.
Li Qingxian looked at Duan Qing calmly.
Duan Qing sighed, put away the messenger plate, and said half-jokingly: "That's all. I can't go to Mr. Liu tomorrow and say, Brother Liu, I met Li Qingxian yesterday and asked him to replace your plate with mine.
