Master of Exotic Planting Chapter 82: Who is better at flattering?
At dinner that night, Zhang Xiaofan talked about his going to be an official in the county town tomorrow. The family members were very surprised.
Zhang Xiaofan's ability is getting bigger and bigger.
If you say that the title is only a kind of glory and privilege, then being an official means possessing official power.
I think back then, when the Ma family first started, they did everything possible to get Ma Zhong into the county government office and became a clerk. Later, he rose to the position of classic history step by step.
"Son, next year's Tomb-sweeping tomb to worship the ancestors, you must go with them. This is the ancestor's manifestation and bless you!" Zhang Tiezhu heard that his son became an official.
Wang Yuanyuan and Feng's family, as well as Wang Fu and his wife, also strongly agree with this matter.
Everyone thinks that Zhang Xiaofan has a bright future as an official.
Having an official in his own family, he also has a strong backing.
Even if Zhang Xiaofan is still just a clerk now, he is not even counted as a 9th grade civil official. They were still fanatical, and felt that Zhang Xiaofan had a great talent and became a real big man in Longcao Township.
"By the way, is there anything happening in the Ma family?" Zhang Xiaofan is so busy these days that he has no time to pay attention to the Ma family.
Ma Qing is a young master at any rate. He has been dead for several days, why is there no movement at all?
At least there should be a funeral, so that the dead can enter the land for safety, right?
Does the Ma family feel that this is ashamed, so they sneaked up and buried Ma Qing? It's impossible to think about it.
"I heard that the Ma family bought a jade coffin and placed Ma Qing's body in it. They invited a source martial artist who cultivated water power to inject air-conditioning into the coffin to ensure that the body does not rot."
Speaking of this, Zhang Tiezhu's tone was particularly solemn.
The atmosphere in the room also instantly became depressed.
If the Ma family buried people, it means that this matter will not continue to ferment. Now the Ma family parked the corpse at home, and even asked the Yuanwu practitioner to inject air-conditioning to protect the corpse from corruption. This is clear and will not be buried in a short time.
What does the Ma family want to do?
There is only one possibility for the murderer to be buried with Ma Qing.
To comfort Ma Qing's spirit in the sky.
"The Ma family wants revenge, then come. Zhang Xiaofan dares to kill, so he won’t be afraid of Ma’s revenge."
That night, he was very affectionate with Wang Yuanyuan, but his mother had been waiting to report to his grandson.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaofan got up.
Apart from anything else, I went straight to the spiritual field, chose a herb that increases the fire power, and promoted it to a first-order spiritual plant in one breath. Then take it home and give it to his wife.
I believe that with the help of this spiritual grass, Wang Yuanyuan will definitely be able to be promoted to a two-star source warrior.
Zhang Xiaofan himself dug out the green flame flower that had been promoted to the third-order spirit grass. He walked fast on the avenue and headed towards the county seat.
The second-order source wolf did not take it away, but stayed at home to look after the nursing home to protect the safety of his family.
In addition, his wound has just healed, and Zhang Xiaofan's current weight is amazing. Can't bear to let it get tired again.
Entering the county seat, Zhang Xiaofan immediately noticed a stalker behind him.
Lieutenant Zuo is now completely in collusion with Ma Xiancheng, and he has acted boldly. The characters entering and leaving the city are all under the supervision of the county lieutenant.
Zhang Xiaofan has long been listed as a key surveillance officer.
"Want to stare at the tips of my two-star source warrior? Dreaming!"
Zhang Xiaofan rushed directly into the alley ahead and disappeared in the eyes of the stalkers. When the two stalkers chased in, a person flashed around the corner.
Boom!
The two city guards in casual clothes were knocked to the ground without even humming.
Zhang Xiaofan swaggered away.
After confirming that there were no stalkers, he first entered the Yang Mansion and handed the Jade Flame Flower that had been successfully promoted to the third-order spirit grass to Old Yang.
By doing this, Zhang Xiaofan thought about the consequences.
In just a few days, the promotion of a Tier 2 Spirit Grass to a Tier 3 Spirit Grass is easy to track down.
But he had already figured out a countermeasure. And I also intend to use this incident to test the Yang County magistrate.
Look at the other person's character?
In the eyes of county magistrate Yang, Zhang Xiaofan is just a chess piece. However, Zhang Xiaofan is definitely not willing to be a chess piece in the hands of others, but one day he will jump out of the chessboard and become a chess player.
"Lao Yang, this green flame flower must be handed over to the magistrate of Yang County as soon as possible. The sooner the better. And it must be kept secret and must not be known to outsiders."
No matter how shocked Mr. Yang, Zhang Xiaofan exhorted a few words and left quickly.
Zhang Xiaofan has already done what should be done, and the rest depends on whether or not Yang County Commander is up for it.
……
Leaving Yang's mansion, he went straight to the county government office to report.
Today is the first day of taking office, it must be early.
The workshop is in charge of construction, agriculture, and water conservancy. As a clean water department, there is basically no oil and water to fish.
Family rooms and staff rooms are all large offices, brightly tiled, and very stylish.
But the office of the studio is not only located in a remote corner, but also looks dilapidated. Even the door frame has been blackened, which clearly shows that it is a cold department.
Inside, Zhang Xiaofan found that two colleagues had arrived early.
One is cleaning, and the other is immersed in the copywriting.
Both of them are very young, no more than thirty years old at most.
"Morning for two!"
Zhang Xiaofan smiled and greeted him actively.
"Morning!"
The young man cleaning, turned his head and glanced at him, then nodded in response.
The young man who sorted out the copy just gave Zhang Xiaofan a cold look, and didn't say a word. His face is also cold, without any expression.
"I'll help you!" Zhang Xiaofan took the initiative to clean up the other party.
I just came to work at the studio, so naturally I have to find a way to establish a good relationship with one or two people, and quickly find out the situation of the studio.
The young man who sorted out the copywriting was probably close to Gongfang Dianshi, so he had a cold attitude towards Zhang Xiaofan.
This young cleaning man is only twenty-four or five years old, so he should be kinder. It's easier to deal with.
Zhang Xiaofan helped him clean the table and sweep the floor.
"Thank you!" The other party grinned at Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan is about to set a few sentences. Unexpectedly, the young man who sorted out the copy said coldly, "Li Lu, I advise you, it is best not to get too close with Zhang Xiaofan, lest you stand in the wrong team and regret it too much."
"Thanks for the reminder, Brother Wen!" Li Lu smiled gratefully to the young man who sorted out the copy, and then grabbed the broom in Zhang Xiaofan's hand. "I'll do it myself!"
Sure enough, as Zhang Xiaofan expected, this brother Wen is a person from Gongfang Dianshi.
They deliberately wanted to isolate Zhang Xiaofan.
The seats of clerks are arranged in strict order. The position where Brother Wen sits belongs to the seat of the third clerk.
Zhang Xiaofan walked to the seat of the first clerk and sat down. Except for the most basic office supplies such as pens, ink, paper and inkstone, there are no paperwork on the desk.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't think too much about it. Maybe the staff will be there for a while, and there will be documents for him to review after going to work.
The first time I was an official, it was quite novel.
I eat royal food, and I can receive a considerable salary every month. The people who came to do business nodded and bowed one by one. This kind of comfortable and noble life is probably what makes officials most obsessed with.
One clerk arrived one after another, and the last person to arrive was the head of the workshop, Dian Shi Su Jun.
"Su Dianshi is early!" All five clerks stood up respectfully to greet them.
Zhang Xiaofan also stood up subconsciously and greeted Su Jun.
After all, it is the superior and superior, and the necessary etiquette must be present.
"Xiao Zhang is here, um, not bad!" Su Jun squinted and smiled, then walked to his seat and sat down.
The clerk named Wen Ge is very good at coming.
I immediately poured a cup of tea and brought it over.
"Master Su, this is the Pu'er tea I bought at the Chengbei Morning Tea House this morning. The boss said, this is the freshest batch. You can try it." Wen Ge nodded and bowed, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Oh, Xiao Mo is a caring person! I really want to try it!" Su Dianshi held up the teacup, using very skillful and professional techniques.
First, he lifted the lid, and then moved to the tip of his nose, closing his eyes and sniffing the tea fragrance.
Then take a sip and slowly savor it in your mouth.
Slowly swallowed and smashed his mouth.
A look of endless aftertaste.
There are rules for tasting tea, one look, two smells, three tastings and four aftertastes.
"Well, not bad, good tea! A fragrant mouth with endless aftertaste." Su Dianshi was quite satisfied with this tea.
"If you can get such a praise from an adult, it is not futile that I got up in the middle of the night and ran to the morning tea shop in the north of the city to line up." Mo Wen's eyebrows were open and he was very happy. It also took the opportunity to express loyalty.
He lined up to buy this tea in the middle of the night.
It can be seen how hard it is.
"There are so many senior officials and nobles who like to drink this kind of Pu'er tea. I went a little slower, only to see the long lines of subordinates or servants of those senior officials and nobles, all waiting to grab the new Pu'er tea. Mowen is relatively lucky. Ma Xiancheng’s deputy, it seems that he didn’t get it."
The second clerk is a middle-aged man about fifty years old.
At first glance, it is an old fried dough stick.
Mowen preemptively slapped Su Dianshi's flattery, and he walked over without a hassle.
In one sentence, it also showed loyalty, and also revealed a very useful news to Su Dianshi.
"Lao Zhu, can you see clearly? Is it true that Ma Xiancheng's deputy didn't grab the tea?" Su Dianshi immediately became interested~IndoMTL.com~The name of this middle-aged man is also extraordinarily kind.
"The little man saw it really. Before I went to bed last night, I was worried about Master Su's love to drink Pu'er tea. I must get up early and buy it to honor you. Alas, who is older, After all, I got up late, and the fourth watch rushed there. When I got to the back of the line, there were already forty or fifty people lined up in front. Ma Xiancheng’s deputy was in the third position in front of me."
"He didn't get the Pu'er tea, that is absolutely true."
Lao Zhu's flattering ability is better than Mo Wen.
There is no trace of loyalty.
"Xiao Mo, how much tea do you have left?" Su Dianshi asked immediately.
"It looks like half of the bag is left." Mowen was not clear, so he quickly took out the rest.
"Take it here!" After Su Dianshi took it, he didn't care about drinking tea, and hurriedly walked outside. "What's the matter, please delay for a while, the officer will return soon. I have to go to Ma County Cheng."
