Early the next morning, Yang Xuan saw Lu Jingzi at the door of the Hubu Yamen.
This boy is dressed in white, with a blue gingham pattern, and a look of eagerness. At first glance, he learned it from Lu Jingqi.
It's just that he is not as calm as Lu Jingqi. The way he looks around reminds Yang Xuan of a word - wearing a crown like a monkey.
When Yang Xuan got off the carriage, Lu Jingzi looked excited: "You're finally here."
Yang Xuan rolled his eyes: "What are you doing here so early? Have you handed over all your work?"
Lu Jingzi was stunned: "I knew you wanted to make excuses. I already explained it last night."
Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, this guy still had a sense of responsibility. Although he didn't like this job, he did everything he had to do.
"Very good, just come in with me."
Lu Jingzi's job title was Classical History, which was not even considered ninth grade. He was just a low-level official. He did hold a purchasing position in Shengfa Department Store, which was considered a fat job, but he just didn't like it.
In fact, regardless of his grandfather's status as Prince Heng or his father's position as Shaoqing of Dali Temple, it would not be a problem to arrange a high-level official position for him.
It's just that firstly, he is still young, and secondly, he has high ambitions and low abilities, so I let him exercise first.
After entering the Commerce Department, Yang Xuan took him directly to find Meng Ping.
"Master Yang."
Meng Ping was working with his head down. When he saw Yang Xuan, he hurriedly got up. But when he saw Lu Jingzi beside him, he asked again: "Who is this?"
Yang Xuan said: "This is the child of a friend of mine who works as a historian in the Department of Commerce. He was originally responsible for purchasing at Shengfa Department Store. I am thinking of moving him to my side to learn how to do business."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Ping waved his hands: "Master Yang can make your own arrangements for this matter. Then you only need to give me the transfer document and I will stamp it with my official seal."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Meng."
"Master Yang, why should you be so polite?"
After being polite, Yang Xuan came out with Lu Jingzi and raised his eyebrows at him: "How?"
"Hey, he's just being polite to you. It's such a trivial matter. Besides, he's just a fifth-rank official."
Lu Jingzi looked like it was no big deal, and it was obvious that Yang Xuan was not convinced yet.
Yang Xuan chuckled without explaining: "Now that you have become my subordinate, you must do things according to my requirements."
Lu Jingzi spread his hands with a disdainful expression.
There are many directors in the Department of Commerce and Trade. Except for Yang Xuan, the other directors are each in charge of a branch. Yang Xuan is a sinecure in the Department of Commerce and Trade. However, there are no big things but there are still many small things. Now he is directly handed over to
Lu Jingzi went to deal with it.
Looking at Yang Xuan sleeping beside him, Lu Jingzi was quite dissatisfied, but he still handled the official documents obediently.
When Yang Xuan woke up, it was almost noon and found that Lu Jingzi was still dealing with official documents. He couldn't help but nodded: "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."
Lu Jingzi jumped up immediately. These official documents had already bored him: "Let's go, where can we eat?"
Yang Xuan waved his hand and said boldly: "Wherever you want to eat, we will eat there."
"Then go to Wenhui Building?"
"OK."
This Wenhui Building is where famous officials from Yingtian Mansion gather, and non-officials are not welcome.
In addition, the food at Wenhuilou is one of the best in Yingtian Mansion, and big shots from the imperial court often visit it. In a place like this, Yang Xuan, a mere sixth-rank official, might not even be able to sit in a private box, and would have to sit in the hall.
Bar.
At that time, you can reveal your identity and ask the shopkeeper of Wenhui Building to arrange a private room and make fun of Yang Xuan.
Lu Jingzi had already compiled the script while on the road.
Yang Xuan didn't care at all about this. Let alone Wenhui Restaurant, which restaurant in the entire Yingtian Mansion dared not give him face?
Do you still want the Sansheng Sanshi wine?
Nowadays, in any high-end restaurant in Yingtianfu, there is no one without Sansheng Sanshi wine. Without this wine, at least half of the guests would leave.
Besides, Wenhuilou’s hotpot base is provided by Weijixian. How can the shopkeeper not know the relationship between Yang Xuan and Weijixian?
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Wenhui Building. When the waiter saw Yang Xuan's sixth-grade official uniform, he led them directly into the hall without asking.
Just as he was about to arrange for them to sit down, Yang Xuan waved his hand: "Brother, arrange a box for us and invite your shopkeeper to come over."
The waiter wanted to say something sarcastic, but when he saw Lu Jingzi's luxurious clothes, he thought about it and swallowed his words. He just said "Guest Officer, wait a minute" and went to find the shopkeeper.
Lu Jingzi sat down with a smile: "Mr. Yang, you are a sixth-grade official, and you belong to the lowest level in this Wenhui Building. You actually want to sit in a box, so you should sit down obediently. After a while, you will annoy the shopkeeper and put you
It would be a shame to kick him out."
"Oh? I don't believe it. The shopkeeper here is so bold? Are the customers who come to the door rushing out?"
"Hey, what do you know? This restaurant is the property of the second prince's family. It only accepts high-ranking officials and distinguished guests. Just because of your status, you will be kicked out. What else can you do?"
"Then let's make a bet. If I sit in the box, what will you do with today's meal?"
"Okay, let's bet, but what if we can't get a seat in the box?"
"If you can't sit in the box, I'll take care of your meals for the next year. The quality will be no less than that of this Wenhui Building."
Wenhui Restaurant is the top restaurant in Yingtian Mansion. Even Lu Jingzi cannot eat at a restaurant of this quality every day.
If this scapegoat can support himself for a year, it will be enough for him to brag about in front of his friends.
Just as he was thinking about it, the shopkeeper had already come over.
According to what the waiter said, a richly dressed young man came to dinner with a sixth-grade official. If he wanted to sit in a box, the protagonist must not be the sixth-grade official, so when the shopkeeper came over, he was facing the direction Lu Jingzi was facing.
Came here.
This is done so that he can recognize the other party's identity in time and make a decision as soon as possible.
Yang Xuan and Lu Jingzi were sitting opposite each other, so shopkeeper Xu didn't see Yang Xuan at all at first.
But although he didn't recognize Yang Xuan, he didn't recognize Lu Jingzi either. After all, there aren't too many young masters in Yingtian Mansion, so it's impossible to know them all. Besides, the discipline in Lu Jingzi's family is quite strict. This Wenhui Building is where his father leads
He came once.
Shopkeeper Xu had already come behind Yang Xuan and raised his hand towards Lu Jingzi: "Master, I'm really sorry. All the boxes upstairs have been reserved by distinguished guests. There really are no free boxes. How about..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Xuan had already turned around: "Shopkeeper Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still have the same style."
Shopkeeper Xu was stunned for a moment, then turned to focus, and then hurriedly saluted: "Oh, Mr. Yang, uh no, it's Mr. Yang, why did I hear magpies screaming outside the door when I went out early in the morning?
Stop, it turns out we have a distinguished guest coming today."
As he said that, he turned around and scolded the waiter: "Are you blind? Mr. Yang is an honored guest that we can't even invite. How dare you be so negligent? If you don't want your eyes anymore, just pluck them out and make them
Why are you still standing there after you stepped on the bubble? Why don't you hurry up and invite the distinguished guests to the box on the third floor."
Shopkeeper Xu's series of operations made Lu Jingzi on the side stunned.
