Master Luo Cao

After recognizing the people in the county government for a round, magistrate Fu's face stiffened with a smile, and he felt a little disappointed. He came from a family and had his own rules for aesthetics and taste. It's a pity that the subordinates in the Jiuhe county government All the crooked melons and jujubes are so ugly that they are novel, interesting and frustrating. I don't know if it is because of the long-term harassment of the bandits that has caused their haggard faces.

After a round of running water, and finally sent everyone away, Fu Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief silently, and couldn't help but think of the handsome and leisurely young man he met today. His hand holding the umbrella seemed weak, but he could In an instant, he grabbed the eight-foot man by the throat and smashed it heavily on the ground, scaring the bandits into fleeing. He is both good-looking and capable... He suddenly thought, if only he was there, it would be great.

Rubbing his fingers back and forth on the armrest, Fu Yunshu silently recited the young man's name.

Kou Luoche... Kou Luoche...

"My lord," a voice suddenly broke in, interrupting Fu Yunshu's thoughts, Xu Mengdan said: "Your lord must be exhausted physically and mentally after running around for days, and it's getting late now, I ordered the cook in the mansion to prepare dinner before I came, and calculated the time It's about the same, please move to eat."

Today, I only bought a bowl of wontons all day, but Fu Yunshu was really hungry. He nodded and smiled and said, "Master Xu has a heart. You and Master Zhao have been waiting for a long time, why don't you stay and eat together." A sick man and a mighty man with a loud voice have no interest, but when meeting for the first time, it is necessary to show intimacy to the subordinate who will become the right-hand man in the future.

Xu Meng and Zhao Ciji, who have been in the crisis-ridden Jiuhe County for so many years, are good at observing words and deeds, and they both declined: "It's getting late, I don't dare to bother you any more. Your kindness is appreciated by the officials."

So Fu Yunshu was able to enjoy dinner alone.

Unexpectedly, the cooking skills of the county magistrate's chefs are quite good. Naturally, they cannot be compared with the chefs of the prime minister's mansion, but they also have a special flavor. A dish of boiled cabbage, although the ingredients are simple, the taste is wonderful. The leisurely and elegant soup is rich and mellow, and the aftertaste is endless.

Four dishes per person is not considered extravagant, but a bit wasteful.Fu Yunshu finished eating quietly, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and called the butler who was serving him with a smile.

Butler Liu is also an old man in the county magistrate's mansion. He has served a bunch of county magistrates before, and he is self-consciously proficient in taking pictures of the horse. The position of the horse is accurate and just right. It is enough to take out the previous pass to make a pie.Hearing Fu Yunshu calling him, he thought it was the county magistrate who had enjoyed his meal and wanted to praise him, so he happily stepped forward and said, "My lord, the little one is here."

Fu Yunshu smiled and said, "Who arranged these dishes today?"

Butler Liu replied: "Reporting to my lord, it was arranged by the villain. The villain doesn't know that the adults like to avoid food, thinking that the adults came from the capital, and they should not be used to spicy food, so they didn't ask them to add spicy dishes, a white meat and a few vegetarian dishes. , it’s quite refreshing, I wonder if adults still get used to it after eating it?”

Fu Yunshu said frankly: "Very good." Picking up a chopstick, rubbing it back and forth on the chopstick pillow for a while, he suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "However, in the small Jiuhe County, the chefs in the county are very skilled. The cook didn’t give up too much. This dish of boiled cabbage is the most wonderful. It can be tasted occasionally when entertaining guests at home. I heard that the soup base needs to be boiled separately with old hen, scallops, ham, ribs and other ingredients, and then poured into a large soup pot together. Slowly simmer on low heat for two hours, and the cabbage heart needs to be pierced repeatedly with silver needles and then boiled in high broth to finish. This time, I came here suddenly, and the heat was a bit lacking, but it was quite difficult."

Butler Liu slowly smiled like a blooming wild chrysanthemum on his old face, and said, "Thank you for your compliment, my lord."

Before the new county magistrate took office, Steward Liu had already put in a lot of effort to clean up his family. He knew that magistrate Fu was the only son of the current prime minister. Guobi is one car more than the number one scholar and the second place in the list. No matter what he thinks, a child of such a romantic family should stay in the capital to serve as an official and confuse people. Fu Yunshu heard that he had a dispute with Prime Minister Fu about his official career, and was furious. Xiacai asked himself to leave Beijing to take office in Jiuhe County, where the bandits were in trouble, and threatened to put down the banditry within three years.

Such rhetoric, coupled with Fu Yunshu's innocent little face, is really unreliable no matter how it sounds.

Steward Liu thought that such a pampered young master would stay in Jiuhe County for a short time, and he only needed to serve him comfortably, and then waited to send him away completely.In the future, Mr. Fu will take advantage of his father's success and become famous, maybe he can still think of the sweetness that he brought to him in this bitter place. Once his heart softens, it's hard to say that he will give him some benefits.

Liu Butler thought so happily in his heart, the smile on the corner of Fu Yunshu's mouth in that room gradually cooled down, and he said softly: "It's just a small county magistrate, why can I enjoy such delicacies?"

This remark was wrong, the little county magistrate turned his face too quickly, Liu Butler was caught off guard for a moment, dumbfounded, "... huh?"

Fu Yunshu continued to speak coldly: "Fish brain tofu, tempeh flounder, boiled cabbage, the cost of ingredients for each dish is enough for an ordinary family to spend on food for a month, Liu Butler, do you think I can't eat it, or think that even if If I eat it, what will happen to me?"

Listen, Liu Butler's legs were like swinging clocks, and he was trembling all over and almost fell to the ground. You Qianyu was imprisoned before. Although he was charged with ineffectiveness in suppressing bandits, but the specific inside story, people in the officialdom don't know. I don't know, as the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office, and the new county magistrate wants to prove that he and Qian Yu are not in the same line, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not use himself as a "veteran of the former dynasty".I made a mistake in a momentary errand and touched my master's ass, and I am about to be in great trouble!

Seeing Steward Liu's trembling hands about to paw at his thigh, Fu Yunshu quietly moved his leg inward, his face softened a little, and said, "I know Qian Yumoyue liked this one before, but I Unlike Qian Yu, you don’t need to do this. Let’s forget about it this time, and we only need to provide some home-cooked meals in the future.” There was a polite and indifferent smile on his face, “I will not be an example.”

In just a few words, Steward Liu's little heart has been wandering between life and death several times. Hearing these words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, tears of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he knelt down on the ground immediately Grabbing Fu Yunshu's boots to show his loyalty, he howled: "Your Excellency is really discerning and loving the people like a son with a breeze in his sleeves! To be honest, when Qian Yu was in office, he only knew about corruption and wrongful law to search for the people's fat and anointing for his own use. I can’t persuade him, but to support his family, he can only serve with all his heart. Now that the lord has come, it’s really a blue sky, and I have hope in Jiuhe County! It’s just that I was confused for a while, and I couldn’t understand the lord’s painstaking efforts. I hope you will forgive me!”

Although Fu Yunshu said that he was used to seeing sycophants sidling around his father to flatter him since he was a child, but it was still a bit embarrassing to meet him in person.He raised his foot silently, and wrestled the boots out of Steward Liu's old rough bark hands, coughed twice, and said: "Qian Yu broke the law, it has nothing to do with you, you are just doing your own duty, but in the future Don’t do anything like this, get up, it’s getting late, you can go back and rest.”

To howl was to admit his mistake and to show his loyalty, and to continue howling would be to be too contrived and ignorant of good and bad. Butler Liu immediately got up from the ground, and with a drooping old face, he flattered Fu Yunshu for a long time before leaving.

Fu Yunshu turned his head to face the servant girls who were stunned at the side and said, "Go down too." After saying that, he got up, waved away the servants who were about to follow, and walked towards the backyard.

The night was hazy, and he had just arrived and had no one to guide him.It took me a while to find where my room was.Stepping into the threshold, closing the door behind his back, yawning, he untied his belt, took off his outer shirt and threw it on the screen. After walking around the screen, his eyes fell on a graceful body under the candlelight, inside the mosquito net, and on the bed. Everyone was stunned.

She was a pretty girl with a pretty face, she was only twenty-eight years old, her temples were slightly scattered, and her eyes were full of affection. She was leaning on Fu Yunshu's bed, wearing a tulle, and there was something unspeakable in her breath. Seeing Fu Yunshu who was stunned , she opened her lips and said softly, "Why is your lord standing there stupidly? Why don't you come here soon?"

Steward Liu walked out of the restaurant dejectedly, came to a dark and uninhabited place, stomped his feet, and said in annoyance: "I didn't expect a dude to be quite difficult to deal with. This show of power will completely embarrass my old face!"

A weak and deep voice came faintly from under the shadow of the tree, "This is not just as simple as showing off, but also killing chickens and monkeys."

Butler Liu asked in puzzlement, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey?"

The branch swayed, and a person came out from behind. Under the moonlight, his face became paler. Xu Meng said: "He came here alone and just arrived. His predecessor, Qian Yu, still left a mess. If you want to make some political achievements, Naturally, you have to be careful in your calculations and step by step. You are an old man in the county magistrate's mansion, you know the depth of the water in Jiuhe County, and you are a close person who serves by your side. Naturally, you have to beat it well and teach you to put away those little things first. Think about it, and scare the others." Pointing to Butler Liu, "kill you," pointing to himself, "warning me."

Butler Liu muttered in a daze: "...this spoiled young master really has a lot of thoughts."

Xu Meng said in a deep voice: "Fu Xiang's only son, a top-ranked Tanhualang, is naturally not an ordinary person. Now that he is in our little Jiuhe County, I don't know what kind of situation he can stir up."

Butler Liu suddenly said, "It's broken!"

Xu Meng frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

"It's broken, it's broken!" Liu Butler stamped his feet anxiously again.

Xu Meng's face sank, he pinched the back of Steward Liu's neck, and tightened his palms. He felt anxious, and couldn't help coughing, his pale face turned red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "If you have something to say, Stop yelling!"

Butler Liu said with a mournful face, "I sent a girl to Fu Yun's study!"
