Chapter 67 Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared
Xiao Jiading understood that Du Erniu had already obtained the title of the poetry club and came to cheat on him. So he told Shutong Wenyan that he would go out for a while, and then took Du Erniu to his residence.
After entering the door, Du Erniu closed the door and said with a smile: "Brother, I have already obtained the question. In addition, there is another good news to tell you, and you will be happy after hearing it."
"Oh? What good news? Are you going to get married?" Xiao Jiading said with a hurried smile.
Du Erniu's chubby face turned slightly red, she gave him a big roll of eyes and said, "No! It's my godmother who said that you want to be the deputy chief club of our 'Bai Lu Poetry Club'!"
"What?" Xiao Jiading glared and said, "You didn't inform me and just developed me into it?"
"Notification? Did Sister Huang not notify you yesterday?"
"Sister Huang? Huang Shiyun?"
"Yes, we discussed the day before yesterday. Sister Huang proposed to my godmother, Mrs. Ji, the leader of our poetry club, to let you join our poetry club. You are from our yamen and defeated Zhong Wenbo, the number one talented man in Yizhou. After she said this, everyone agreed. So she decided. Sister Huang said that she would notify you. Didn't she tell you?"
Xiao Jiading immediately understood that yesterday afternoon, Huang Shiyun came to find her, and one of the things was because of this, and she was so choked by a few words that she didn't say. Then she stayed and waited for her, probably to discuss this matter with her. She wanted to convince herself to join their poetry club, but she didn't expect that she would take care of her again. As a result, she was not only drunk herself and slept with her as a quilt for the whole night, but was scolded and ran away by herself in the morning. Of course, she also had the chance to tell her about this.
After hearing Du Erniu's words, Xiao Jiading said that he wanted to join their poetry club himself, because Huang Shiyun and Tang Rongxuan gave him a bad impression. He really didn't want to be with such people, so he said, "I'll just forget it. I'm such a bad talent, it's really hard to be a good place. Thank you Mrs. Ji for your kindness."
Du Erniu became anxious when she heard this and hugged his arm: "Brother! If you don't participate in our poetry club, we will definitely lose again this year's competition with the state government office. - We have lost three consecutive times! You can help us!"
Xiao Jiading said curiously: "What event?"
"The 'Bailu Poetry Society' in Shaocheng County and the 'Tiaozhihua Poetry Society' formed by the people from the prefecture government office hold a competition every year, and the lottery is very heavy. We have lost three consecutive terms. Moreover, the governor attaches great importance to this year's competition and is going to serve as the referee with Tang Sima!"
Xiao Jiading couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this. He said, "Sima Tang?"
"Yes, it's the one Tang Lintang Sima who recommends you to be the county magistrate."
Xiao Jiading is not very clear about why Tang Lin recommended him. He was just acquaintance with him. According to his own speculation, it was probably his poem written in his heart and gained his favor. In addition, his analysis of the case he proposed increased this favor. He felt that he might be a talent, so he recommended himself. Everyone said that he was his backer, but he had only seen him once. Last time he told Ya Niang about an appointment, but Ya Niang said that it was difficult to even see her. It was difficult to make an appointment.
Since it was the underwriter because he admired him, he should try his best to find opportunities to show his performance. On the one hand, it is the ability to handle cases, and on the other hand, it is poetry. Because it is estimated that Tang Lin recommended his own because of these two reasons.
Now, Tang Lin is going to participate in the poetry club competition in the prefecture and county government offices as a referee, which is just an opportunity to show himself.
Opportunities will always be left to those who are prepared! Xiao Jiading firmly believes in this.
If you want to climb Tang Lin, you must find all opportunities to contact him more, so that they can understand and appreciate him. Only by constantly showing their abilities in front of the leader can you be appreciated by the leader and there will be hope for further promotion. Xiao Jiading is very clear about this.
So he made a quick decision, putting aside his disgust towards Huang and Tang, and regarded this poem as a stage to show his abilities.
Xiao Jiading sighed and smiled bitterly and said to Du Erniuo: "You know. I hate Huang Shiyun and Tang Rongxuan, but I like being with you very much. Now you beg me again, which makes me very embarrassed..."
When Du Erniu heard Xiao Jiading's words, she seemed a little loose. She couldn't help but feel happy. She hugged his arm tightly and shook it and said, "Brother, good brother! Since that's the case, you can agree to the younger sister in terms of her face. Don't pay attention to them, no, don't pay attention to that Tang Rongxuan. In fact, Sister Huang is a very good person. She said you good things the day before yesterday, and my godmother also admires you very much. She has read your poems and said it's amazing!"
"Yeah?"
"Well! The day before yesterday, Sister Huang took the poem you wrote to everyone, saying that it was your new work, which she finally got. We have copied your poems, and now they have spread. It's so good to write!"
Xiao Jiading immediately understood that what Huang Shiyun took out for them to show was probably the songs he copied when he was having a drink at her house that day. The girl did not say that she went to her house for a drink, and did not use this to show off. This made Xiao Jiading's disgust towards her somewhat relieved.
Xiao Jiading felt her arm experiencing her curves and temperature in Du Erniu's plump arms. His body began to react in a boring manner. He quickly pulled out his hand, patted her shoulder, and said, "Don't you just want me to join your poetry club when you flatter me like this? Okay, you have helped me, so I should naturally help you too, I agreed!"
This kind of favor must be given.
Du Erniu jumped up happily, opened her arms and hugged him: "That's great! Brother Xiao, you agreed, you can't regret it!"
Xiao Jiading had already reacted when he was hugged with one arm, but now he was being hugged. I was afraid that it would be even more troublesome. He quickly pulled Du Erniu's arms down and said, "Don't do this, just like a child, talk well!
"I'm happy!" Du Erniu didn't care. "The competition time has not been decided yet, but it's soon. We will notify in advance. The day after tomorrow, we will form a poetry club and be on the Yangliu Dike outside the city. Then we will go together!"
"The day after tomorrow?" Xiao Jiading was still preparing to visit Su Yunxia's mother's grave during the rest day after tomorrow, and to fulfill his filial piety for the poor girl, and then said, "Can I go later? I have something to do."
"We went to have lunch. Are you not doing anything in the morning?"
Xiao Jiading was relieved and said, "Okay, then I'll do my business in the morning and go together at noon."
"Okay! I'm determined, by the way, I'll tell you the topic this time, so you can prepare two songs for me. I don't expect to win the first place, as long as it's not the last place."
After saying that, Du Erniu talked about the topic.
After listening to it, Xiao Jiading felt that the topic was very large and there were many related poems in his stomach, so he selected a few of them that were pretty good and told her. Although it was just a high-quality poem, for Du Erniu, it was far beyond her expectations. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, remembered it with all his heart, and said worriedly: "Brother, you have given me such good poems enough, what do you do?"
Xiao Jiading deliberately thorned and said, "My seven steps have become a talent for poetry, but it is not a futile reputation."
Du Erniu immediately felt relieved and jumped out.
Xiao Jiading came out of his residence and walked towards the signing room. When he was about to arrive, a middle-aged man came towards him, nodded and bowed to Xiao Jiading and said, "Xiao Zhiyi!"
Xiao Jiading looked carefully and found that it was the ruling of the yamen, with his surname Zuo. He only met him when County Magistrate Deng took him to recognize people last time, and there was no contact. This ruling is in charge of the market, which is equivalent to the current director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. However, business has always had a low status in ancient times when valuing agriculture and neglecting commerce, so his ruling is not as awesome as modern times. Xiao Jiading bowed and said, "It's the ruling of Zuo. Is there anything wrong?"
Zuo Shiling looked a little sneaky, looked around and whispered: "Do you have time tonight? Go out together?"
Xiao Jiading knew that he must have something to beg for him, so he said, "You don't have to be polite to Zuoshi Ling. If there is anything that can be used for brothers, I will do my best."
Everyone carried the flower sedan chair, and one more friend, the more road he had, Xiao Jiading understood this truth very well. So he spoke very politely.
This made him very excited in Zuo Shiling's ears, and he hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, thank you, there is nothing special, it's the case of Wu's family. His husband wants to tell Zhiyi about this. He has a good relationship with me, so he has entrusted it to me. - Please rest assured, Zhiyi, I know how to make a sensible and will not let him make any unreasonable requests. Besides, Xiao Zhiyi has been in the yamen for so many days, and I haven't gotten the opportunity to sit with Zhiyi. It happened to be together tonight. Zhiyi, what do you think?"
The one Su Yunxia who sued her legitimate mother in order to avenge her biological mother, her legitimate mother was called Wu Shi, and no one in the other cases she had at hand was called Wu Shi. Xiao Jiading couldn't help but feel moved and asked, "Wu Shi's case? Is it the one who killed the concubine by Yuan Pei?"
"Yes, that's the one. Her husband is Su Laocai. Even if he wants to meet you, Zhiyi. I ask me to make an appointment, I just want to get close to Zhiyi. I wonder if Zhiyi is appreciating his face?"
When Xiao Jiading heard that it was indeed the case, he wanted to know what Su Yunxia's father was going to say to him. He said immediately: "If it were someone else, I would have to refuse it, but since Zuo Shiling spoke, this face must be given."
Xiao Jiading's favor immediately made Zuo Shiling's whole body flutter, and he hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, thank you, Zhiyi. Why did you decide? The people in the yamen are so quarrels, let's go separate. After the yamen is dispersed, I'll wait for Zhiyi at Huanhuaxi Wharf, okay?"
