Hu Xueyan visited Ji Heling, the candidate magistrate. Hu Xueyan handed an envelope to the waiter. Mr. Ji refused to accept it. Hu Xueyan said, "It's not silver bill , it's just a few pieces of waste paper."
Wang Youling received the order to wipe out a monk in Xincheng to fight taxes. However, the people in Xincheng are brave and brave, and Wang Youling is worried that sending troops to suppress them will incite a great civil unrest. After discussing with Hu Xueyan, both of them felt that they should be comforted first and no longer need to be suppressed.
Wang Youling said to Hu Xueyan: The superior Futai sent a large number of alternate officials to call Wang Youling. But only Ji Heling proposed the "first pacification and then suppression" strategy that was proposed by Wang Youling was in line with Wang Youling's wishes.
So the two talked about Ji Heling, "He is really a talent!" Wang Youling told Hu Xueyan, "He is very wise and eloquent. If he is willing to help me, even if he can't rest assured, the matter will be halfway."
Hu Xueyan asked, "How do you want him to help you?" Go and appease!" Wang Youling said, "I have already met the gentlemen in Xincheng in the province. They all proposed to send a capable person to Xincheng to negotiate with the people who were in charge. It should be easy to resolve the issue."
" Although Ji Heling insisted on being at peace first and then suppressing him. Someone suggested that he go to Xincheng to perform a pacification strategy. But he refused to go. If he didn't go, I had to go by myself." Wang Youling said helplessly.
"I understand. What is the reason why Ji Heling refused to go? Is it timid?" "Where?" Wang Youling said, "This man is both resourceful and brave, and he doesn't take that group of chaotic people seriously. His wife passed away recently. The reason why he refused to go is because he felt that it was not his turn to go."
"He is too arrogant. Even if he has talent, his bureaucrats dare not use him."
Hu Xueyan heard Wang Youling's words and quietly drank wine sips, and remained silent. After a long time, I had already thought about him to convince him. After hearing that Wang Youling also wanted him to persuade Ji Heling, he immediately took action.
He found Ji Heling's good friend and understood all aspects of Ji Heling, and then made plans. He wanted to accept his talented Ji Heling's support and take the initiative to go to Xincheng to comfort him.
On the third day, Hu Xueyan and Wang Youling went to the Ji family to mourn. Ji Heling refused to see him, saying that he did not know Hu Xueyan and did not dare to take it. Hu Xueyan calmly entered the mourning hall and worshiped him to burn incense. The Ji family had to return the gift out of courtesy.
At this time, Ji Heling came out, and spoke politely but indifferently, asking who came. Standing and saying etiquette to each other. It was the Ji family's follower who brought tea to invite Hu Xueyan to take his seat. Ji Heling had no choice but to sit down together.
After Hu Xueyan's compliment, Ji Heling lost his temper. Hu Xueyan immediately took out an envelope and handed it to him. He refused to accept it. Hu Xueyan said, "It's not a silver note." After pausing, he said, "It's a few pieces of waste paper." Hearing this, Ji Heling opened it curiously. There is a stack of loan notes inside, and all of them are written with "delete" or "delete".
Ji Heling stuttered in shock: "This, this, this?" At this time, someone carried two suitcases in. He saw that it was his thing, but it should be in the pawnshop. So he shouted at his follower Zhang Gui and listened to Zhang Gui's explanation.
After listening to Zhang Gui’s story, Ji Heling was very surprised. After he calmed down, Zhang Gui told him a total of 232 taels and 6 coins of silver.
He said angrily that he was insulting. Hu Xueyan told him a little uneasy: "It is the prefect Wang who respects you and expresses his respect, so don't worry!"
Ji Heling said loudly: "You are trapped and you will be forced to accept this affection. You can't refuse it, and you feel guilty. It's really—" The words behind you are not embarrassed to say it.
has come to this point. Hu Xueyan knew that there was a chance, so he said that he had the idea. He was the prefect of the king, not Ji Heling. The prefect Wang regarded him, Hu as a friend in distress, and Hu had to share his worries.It was Hu who was sorry for Brother Ji, who apologized for guilt.
Ji Heling returned the ceremony, took Hu Xueyan's hand and sat down together, and the long talk started. The two had a great conversation.
Hu Xueyan is even more impressed by Ji Heling: Such people have the ability and backbone. He wanted to be friends with him and find a right-hand assistant for Wang Youling. Then I thought of bringing the relationship closer.
suggested that they find a place to have a drink and have a chat alone. In order not to refute Ji Heling's face, he said he would go home and put on his clothes and come back.
Ji Heling had no doubts at all, so he asked his son to bring his sand shirt and let Hu Xueyan put it on. This friendship already has the affection of brothers. Hu Xueyan told his entourage to ask the prefect Wang to visit Ji's house immediately. Duke Ji failed to receive prefect Wang and needed to visit him. This matter could be discussed for a long time.
When Hu Xueyan and Ji Heling walked all the way to the restaurant, they were already chatting like old acquaintances for choosing vegetables and wine.
After sitting down, Ji Heling asked the serious matter first: "The prefect thinks I must go?" Hu Xueyan couldn't say it clearly at this moment, and only said that the prefect Wang blamed his superiors for sending so many people, but not many people were used. But I will let you go for this difficult thing, and Wang Taishou couldn't say it.
After this day of conversation, Hu Xueyan knew that people like Ji Heling were not very good outside, but he was actually a kind-hearted person in ancient times and was very trustworthy. Sure enough, Ji Heling said, "I will not give up on this matter."
Hu Xueyan heard this and had no choice but to say anything. He said to Ji Heling, "You are willing to go, and of course the prefect Wang wants to borrow more. We mean that we must first protect ourselves from danger, but if there is no complete solution, we still don't go. If you talk to the prefect, if there is any difficulty, just tell me the truth. Never take risks."
Ji Heling listened to Hu Xueyan's words and was in line with his feelings. He said frankly: "There is no perfect solution for this kind of thing. It all depends on the careful planning and the situation changes. Brother Xueyan, don't worry, I will think of protecting myself."
The more I talked, the more speculative he became, so I added two kilograms of bamboo leaf green. Ji Heling touched his bulging belly. "It's the first time since his wife passed away that I'm so full of wine and food."
This sentence made Hu Xueyan think of something: "Brother Heling, now you must be without people in your family, you should rekindle it!"
Ji Heling sighed, "Yes, six children need someone to take care of. But will the lady who is a good person marry me?"
"Yes." Hu Xueyan remembered it in his heart. Thinking of Mrs. Wang's close-fitting girl is already 25 years old. He advised Mrs. Wang: "Nothing for anything else, but only for Xue Gong (Wang Youling) career and future, this can also be done!" Hu Xueyan knew that no matter how much Mrs. Wang cares about the girl, she is not as concerned about her husband.
So, Mrs. Wang agreed.
