Chapter 57 Yin Suiqi
Guo Zhiyuan was so angry when he heard this. If Huang Sihua really went out to do business, the gatekeeper would not know. Now the gatekeeper first collected the visiting letter and reported it before coming out to tell him that the prefect was not there, it was clearly Huang Sihua who deliberately avoided him. Although he had already expected that Huang Sihua would deliberately make things difficult for him, he did not expect that he would do so too much and directly turned himself in the rejection! He came to Fuzhou thousands of miles to pay his respects to him, but was rejected. Huang Sihua was too arrogant!
Xu Guangqi, who was standing beside him, saw that Guo Zhiyuan seemed to be running wildly, and quickly coughed and whispered: "Young Master, since the prefect is not here, let's go back first and come to see you tomorrow. This matter needs to be discussed for a long time..."
After reminding Xu Guangqi, Guo Zhiyuan calmed down. If he could not control his anger and started making trouble in front of the prefect's office, he would probably hit Huang Sihua's thoughts and gave him a reason to punish him. Before he took office, he roared in front of the prefect's office. Do you still want to be the county magistrate?
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan could only suppress his anger and waved to everyone, "Go back! Come again tomorrow!"
As soon as everyone was about to circle around, someone heard someone angrily saying, "What's this magistrate?! My lord came to take office thousands of miles away, but he didn't see him. He was so arrogant! I have seen the Secretary of the State and the Minister, but no one has such a big aura. Could it be that he thought he was the emperor?..."
Needless to say, everyone guessed that it was Miss Chu who got angry! Chu Wan'er's heart is now all about Guo Zhiyuan. After Guo Zhiyuan was turned away, she would naturally be unfair! Her words were not all big talk. As the daughter of the prefect of Shuntian, she had indeed seen many ministers. People were very polite to her daughter, who saw her father's face. She had never been so angry. She was so angry that she could speak without any restraint!
Everyone was startled by her. Zhang Cheng hurriedly grabbed Chu Wan'er who was about to go wild and lowered his voice and advised: "Brother Chu, don't be rude. This place is not as good as the capital. We are not familiar with the place and offended the master's immediate superior, but we will bring disaster to the master!"
Chu Wan'er was dissatisfied. Guo Zhiyuan quickly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, glared at her fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Chuxiong, why don't you leave quickly! Could it be that you forgot our three rules!..." Chu Wan'er had to give up, but she felt very aggrieved in her heart, and she said to you, you are kind to stand up for you, but you treat me like this, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin and not knowing the good people's hearts!
Just as everyone was about to leave, another sedan chair came out around the corner and stopped in front of the government office. Everyone stopped in confusion and thought to themselves: "Did the Fuzhou magistrate really go out just now and happen to be back home now?"
Guo Zhiyuan lifted up the curtain of the sedan chair and had not yet put it down, and wanted to see who the person who came out of the sedan chair was. He saw a middle-aged man wearing a green brocade robe and a brown jade pendant. The middle-aged man was Yin Suiqi, the magistrate of Min County, who also came to pay a visit to Huang Sihua. Just now, he heard the noise in front of the door and asked the sedan chairman to stop.
Yin Suiqi was a very smart person (according to Volume 45 of "Guangdong Tongzhi", Yin Suiqi passed the juren at the age of 21 and passed the Jinshi at the age of 34, which was considered a local glory). From the words of the crowd, he guessed the whole story. He knew that this Gutian County Magistrate named Guo Zhiyuan had probably offended Huang Sihua, and was turned away when he came to take office. He had no intention of wading into the muddy waters and was about to go home, because he knew that since Huang Sihua did not see Guo Zhiyuan, he would definitely not see Huang Sihua immediately. If Huang Sihua saw him but did not see Guo Zhiyuan, wouldn't he be in a slump?
But Chu Wan'er's angry words made him feel moved. Although Chu Wan'er spoke unrestrainedly, she could hear that it was not a false statement. He was not a member of the Zhejiang Party, so he was not favored by Huang Sihua. After being the magistrate of Min County for several years, he was not promoted. However, a guard beside Guo Zhiyuan was so angry that he must have a great background, so he became interested in making friends, and then the sedan chairman carried the sedan chair out.
Yin Suiqi got out of the sedan chair, walked straight towards Guo Zhiyuan's sedan chair, took the initiative to go forward and bow and said, "Please stay, don't you ask your name Gao?"
Seeing this man taking the initiative to show his favor, Guo Zhiyuan quickly got out of the sedan chair and said, "I am the newly appointed Gutian County Magistrate Guo Zhiyuan. I wonder if you are?..."
"Yin Suiqi, the magistrate of Xiamin County, passed by Fuzhou today and wanted to visit the prefect. Unexpectedly, I met you. I am so lucky to meet you. I don't know if the Ling Zun is?" Yin Suiqi looked familiar.
"Oh, my father Guo Zhengyu..." Guo Zhiyuan replied in confusion.
Yin Suiqi's eyes lit up and his attitude became more and more enthusiastic: "It turns out that he is the son of Mr. Guo from the Ministry of Rites! Mr. Guo is an honest official and knowledgeable person. I have long been famous and have never been able to pay homage to him. I don't want to see Mr. Guo today. Mr. Guo is young and promising, and is a talented person! He is really a tiger father but no dog son!..."
Guo Zhiyuan was a little confused about Yin Suiqi's familiarity. In addition, he spoke Cantonese Mandarin (Yin Suiqi is from Dongguan, Guangdong), which sounded very difficult, but he did not hit the smiling person, so he could only bow perfunctorily: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it..."
Yin Suiqi was disrespectful to Guo Zhiyuan's perfunctory behavior and continued to smile and said, "Is Mr. Guo here to pay homage to the prefect?..."
Guo Zhiyuan said a little annoyed: "That's right! But it's really a coincidence that Mr. Huang is not in the mansion, so I can only come back another day..."
Who is Yin Suiqi? He has long guessed what happened here. Guo Zhiyuan is the son of Guo Zhengyu, and Guo Zhengyu is a member of the Donglin Party. However, the Ministry of Personnel arranged for Guo Zhiyuan to come to Fuzhou, a place that is already under the control of the Zhejiang Party. It must be the Zhejiang Party in the court that was interfering with it. No wonder Huang Sihua turned away Guo Zhiyuan.
Yin Suiqi is not a member of the Zhejiang Party, so there is no need to help Huang Sihua deal with Guo Zhiyuan. Guo Zhiyuan became a county magistrate at a young age and had a father who was a high-ranking official as his backer. He will definitely have a bright future in the future. As the saying goes, it is better to help him in time than to add icing on the cake. You might as well be a favor and help Guo Zhiyuan. As long as you don’t offend Huang Sihua directly, you can sell it well and make a good relationship.
Thinking of this, Yin Suiqi glanced at the gatekeeper who was looking at the distance, and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Guo, this is not the place to talk. I know there is a teahouse in front of me, which is quite elegant. My master Guo and I fell in love with each other at first sight. Why not let's go to the teahouse to talk..."
