Ever since Li Xiong returned home, Yuan Zhan has been quiet here for a few days.

During the period, under the persuasion of him and Yang Yan, Hua Ning went back to the palace and personally asked his silly nephew to cancel the marriage with Li Xiong.

However, within two days, she took the opportunity to run back again, and she refused to leave here.

Yuan Zhan had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.

However, the Colonel's Mansion has become extremely lively. Those high-ranking officials who rarely showed up in the past suddenly ran to the Colonel's Mansion more out of some kind of psychology, and the reasons were varied. They used the excuse that the Colonel's Mansion was protecting the capital. Law and order, the credit is great, they came to reward the officials and missions on behalf of the public opinion.

Of course Yuan Zhan was among them. He was often hugged into restaurants for no apparent reason. After a feast of wine and wine, he had to be given some expensive gifts before leaving.

The other jobs and errands he engaged in were extremely jealous.

It's the same drinking, why is there no one to toast when I sit there; it's also a banquet, why no one gives gifts when I leave.

This treatment is simply too obvious.

On this day, the school lieutenant Li Qi summoned Yuan Zhan.

After a stop there, Li Qi came out from behind the table and called Yuan Zhan to sit in the back hall.

A yamen servant brought two bowls of tea, watching the adults hesitate whether to make it for Wu.

Li Qi asked him to put down the tray and go out, and when he could no longer see anyone, he personally picked up the tea bowl and saluted Yuan Zhan.

Yuan Zhan quickly caught it, flattered and said: "My lord, I will do it myself."

Li Qidao: "It's okay, it's okay, I am happy to have some opportunities to get closer to my subordinates."

Yuan Zhan grinned, tacitly.

"That...Yuan Yuzuo, have you been enjoying yourself lately?"

After taking a sip of tea, Li Qi put down the tea bowl and began to talk.

Yuan Zhan replied respectfully: "Master Meng is taking care of you, it's okay."

Li Qidao: "That's fine, that's fine. This... Please come here today, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Even the words of invitation came out, this treatment is really special.

Yuan Zhan hurriedly said: "My lord, please give me instructions."

Li Qi chuckled, and said: "These days, I have been paying attention to you, and I have also seen that you have made great achievements in the work industry, so I want to promote you again. The official secretary Zhao is old. , is running out, and I want you to replace him. What do you think?"

Not to mention how upset Yuan Zhan was, the last thing he wanted was to be noticed by others, but the captain said that he had been paying attention to him. This is not putting salt in people's wounds; and he was promoted to be a clerical officer, how can this work? Well, he doesn't want to change his career, it's simply taking away his job, it's worse than beheading him.

Quickly stood up, bowed and bowed, and said: "My lord, a villain can only do autopsies, and can't read a whole bunch of big characters. Wouldn't it make me look ugly when I do paperwork? I appreciate your kindness, but forget it. You ... Take a rest, the villain will leave."

After speaking, I wanted to run.

Li Qi quickly stopped: "Don't go, you, I haven't finished yet."

As he said that, he chased after him.

Yuan Zhan pretended not to hear, took small steps, and ran out of the back hall in a blink of an eye, just in time to see the tea delivery servant waiting there, and said: "My lord is calling you, go quickly!"

The yamen servant didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to the back hall, just in time to see Li Qi walking quickly.

When Li Qi saw the yamen servant come in, he stopped for fear of losing face, then pulled his face away, and scolded: "Where have you been, why can't you hear me?"

The yamen servant answered aggrievedly: "The villain is waiting in front, no..."

Glancing at his face, he didn't dare to say anything further, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.

Li Qi snorted, and muttered: "This bastard, how dare... to refute my face."

The rest of the words can only be heard by himself.

Yuan Zhan ran back to the Houya, thinking it was Li Xiong or someone else's idea, he is a small butler, who would eat and have nothing to do to pay attention to him, even a third-rank official like Mr. He said that it would be strange if there were no tricks.

But since they all know, there is no need to be polite to them, that's why I dared to refute Li Qi's face just now, and directly refused on the spot.

As soon as he came back to the T-shaped courtyard, Cao Shun, Song Kui, and Yao Quan, the young assistant who had recently been arranged to come in, all swarmed up to greet him, surrounded him into the room, some made tea, some handed him towels Those who face, and those who stand behind pinch their shoulders and beat their backs, are extremely courteous.

Yuan Zhan was also polite, leaning on the rattan chair and enjoying himself.

In the past few days, because of him, these people have enjoyed a lot of money, not to mention eating, drinking, and packing, and the gifts that Yuan Zhan brought back have given him a lot.

And not only the T-shaped courtyard, but also the other three courtyards. Feng Laosan even pleaded with Cheng Bingcao many times, but the team leader quit, and only asked him to be transferred to the T-shaped courtyard, but it was a pity that he was not approved.

Therefore, the near-water towers are the first to get the moon, and the one group is even more good at shooting Yuan Zhan, a high-headed horse.

"Brother Zhan, what's the advantage of the adults calling you, tell me about it."

Cao Shun asked while pinching Yuan Zhan's shoulder.

Yuan Zhan let out a hey, and said, "I want me to replace Mr. Zhao as a clerical officer. Tell me, what can I do? I write all day long without talking, and I have to follow the adults all the time. What's the difference between this and a watchman?" .Don't do it!"

Cao Shun opened his mouth wide and asked, "Is that why you refused?"

Yuan Zhan said: "What's the refusal, the young master just ran away, and didn't give him a chance to speak at all."

"what……"

The three of them were taken aback for a while, and then laughed.

Yao Quan handed him the brewed tea and said, "Don't offend your lord because of this, I will give you some shoes to wear later."

Yuan Zhan glanced at him, no matter how he looked at him, he felt that this child was different from other people, not to mention his delicate skin and tender flesh, he was also educated and sensible, and he was not in the same way as these rough people, especially if he was very careful. In the past few days, I have reminded him several times, and every time I mentioned the point.

Smiled at Yao Quan, said: "It's okay, he is a dignified third-rank official, so he won't share common knowledge with me, a small gangster, because he loses his status."

Yao Quan said: "That's good, that's good."

Song Kui was quite honest, holding a towel and said, "Brother Zhan, don't you think these days are a bit weird?"

Yuan Zhan said: "Why is it strange?"

Song Kui said: "In the past, there were so many people who took care of us in the Cao Division, especially the Wuzuo District. Now it's like being promoted to a noble. Where do these rich people come from, vying to invite us to dinner and drink? no……"

Yuan Zhan smiled, and was about to speak, but was preempted by Cao Shun, and pushed Song Kui, saying: "You talk a lot, Brother Zhan didn't give you so many good things, why didn't you take it? , don’t worry too much after you take it, you don’t need to say too much, it won’t do you any good if you say too much…”

Yuan Zhan watched from the side, and nodded to Song Kui after listening, basically agreeing with Cao Shun's point of view.

Song Kui hurriedly nodded and bowed his waist and said, "I understand, I understand, I promise not to talk too much in the future."

At this moment, Cheng Bingcao's voice came from outside.

"Yuan Zhan, is Yuan Zhan here?"

Yuan Zhan stood up, walked out of the room, and cupped his hands at Cheng Bingcao: "My lord, what are your orders?"

Cheng Bingcao came to the front with a smile, and said in a low voice: "My mentor, Mr. Zhang Hua, I would like to invite you into the mansion to have a talk."

Yuan Zhan was taken aback: "Master Zhang Hua Zhang, he is a celebrity, what can you do with me?"

Cheng Bingcao said enviously: "You are now a clear stream in our Sili Xiaowei's mansion. Mr. Zhang is also very interested in you after hearing about it, and wants to chat with you. For the sake of this officer, just Come with me."
