Chapter 71: Two Assistant Prefectural Magistrates Fighting on the Dining Table, Double Marquis in the Baoling Mansion Gate One

Three days passed in a flash.

On February 12, Sun Shaozong thought that the toughest moment was the get-together of the same year party being held at night. Unexpectedly, he had encountered an embarrassment in advance when he arrived at Jia Zheng’s banquet at noon.

At that time, a total of four people gathered in Rongxi hall, including Jia Zheng, Jia Yucun, Sun Shaozong, and Fu Shi, Jia Zheng's favorite pupil. This time, Jia Zheng hosted a banquet to introduce Fu Shi to the two.

According to Jia Zheng, Fu Shi originally served as the Minister of the six-graded government in Guanglu. Because he was rated as a top-ranking official by the Capital of the regular assessment of the Capital officials last year, he would now be promoted to the Central Judicial Office, where he would also serve as a six-graded Assistant Prefectural Magistrate, in charge of the money, grain and taxes in the office.

Hearing this introduction, Sun Shaozong knew that Jia Yucun had come to give a helping hand.

He should know that although the Assistant Prefectural Magistrate of the Central Judicial Office was not as noble as the court officials, it was an important node connecting the preceding and the following. At present, two of the three Assistant Prefectural Magistrates were connected with Jia Yucun. He’s afraid that from now on, the Governor of Prefecture Han was going to have trouble sleeping and eating.

Jia Yucun thought the same way. His face was full of spring breeze and contentment, sweeping away the haze that failed to flaunt his strength in front of the Emperor.

Jia Yucun wanted to recruit people with talent, while Fu Shi intends to get favor from others. Therefore, after a few cups of yellow rice wine, the two had already become brothers, and with the help of alcohol, they chanted some sour toast poems, singing one by one, which was very lively.

Jia Zheng was originally a lover of making poems, and it was effortless to get involved in them.

But how does Sun Shaozong know any poetry?

Sitting solely at the banquet was embarrassing!

If he was a reckless man, he may not be aware of it, but how delicate was Sun Shaozong?

Just looking on coldly for a while, he saw that Fu Shi was quite hostile toward him. He took the initiative to mention poetry on purpose. To put it bluntly, he just didn't want to play with an uneducated man like Sun Shaozong.

If he was alone in being hostile, it wouldn't have left Sun Shaozong to be treated in the cold.

However, Jia Yucun may also want to take the opportunity to teach Sun Shaozong a lesson so that he can know the pain of being alone.

With these two people controlling the topic, even if Jia Zheng wanted to take care of Sun Shaozong's face, he was unable to find a chance.

In this way, Sun Shaozong sat alone for a long time, thinking about what reason he should use to get away, but he saw Zhou Rui, the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, rush in and bow to report, "Old Second Master, Marquis Zhongjing, and his wife came to visit the Old Lady, and the Old Master happened to be away from home, you..."

Hearing that Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, was here, Jia Zheng hurriedly finds an excuse for the people at the table and hurries to Jia's mother's side.

As soon as the master left, leaving Jia Yucun and Fu Shi there, it was hard to continue the topic about some sour poetry of romantic scenes.
