Confucianism pays attention to pomp and ceremony, so although there were not many people at this meal, Yicui Pavilion was still busy.
Logically speaking, Kong Hanan should also go to the county government.
But County Magistrate Wang had previously given Kong Han an appointment for leave, so this time, he was only there to see the three adults off.
In the box, in addition to a group of small wealthy people, the county magistrate Xia Tie has also arrived.
Xia Tie was actually also very worried.
During this period, strange things happened frequently in Helue Town, including the attack on Gu Mansion, Yinfeng Mountain, and the tomb of King Wen of Shu.
Helue Town is not a wealthy town, so Xia Tie’s performance in this year’s assessment might be very poor.
His only contribution was recommending Kong Hanan.
He knew that Kong Hanan might have some dealings with Xu Meng.
But Xu Meng's relinquishing of credit just touched upon the soft spot of County Magistrate Xia.
He desperately needs credit.
Recommending talents is a merit.
Moreover, he was telling the truth.
Xu Meng did leave the Kong Mansion in anger, and Kong Hanan's previous assessments were indeed poor.
Thinking about the murder of another county lieutenant yesterday, Xia Tie felt even more headache.
All his hopes were tied to Kong Hanan. As long as Kong Hanan performed well, his contribution as the recommender would be enough to offset his faults.
Just as I thought of Kong Hanan, Kong Hanan came.
He originally wanted to say hello to Kong Hanan, but when he saw Kong Hanan's expression, he couldn't help but speak.
"Deputy Envoy Kong, please exercise restraint."
Moderation? What moderation? Why do you want me to be moderate?
Kong Hanan was startled, but he was so hungry that he couldn't help but ask, "Xia County Magistrate, is there anything to eat?"
…
Just in time for the banquet to begin, an old Taoist priest, a sedan chair, and a general on horseback appeared in front of Yicui Pavilion.
This kind of social banquet is the most particular.
Not early, not late.
If you come too early, it will be disrespectful; if you come too late, it will be disrespectful.
Xu Meng Yang Jian and Wang Dong, who lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, smiled at each other.
They are all people who have worked their way up through hard work and have mastered the art of finding their own way to success.
There may be concerns, suspicions, and conflicts between each other, but we should still do the superficial work.
The three of them exchanged greetings as they walked into Yicui Pavilion.
The shopkeeper of Yicui Pavilion wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and greeted the three guests with a smile.
Xu Meng frowned.
"Why are you still busy? Are the dishes not ready yet?"
Logically speaking, for this kind of social banquet, the dishes should be served before the main guests arrive.
The shopkeeper knew the rules, but could only smile bitterly.
"My Lords, there's nothing I can do. It's just that...Mr. Kong is such a big eater."
