Chapter 97 Quota (2)
A group of people returned to the inn safely, and ordered the shopkeeper to call the assistant to settle the two drunks, and boiled sober soup, and the three of them were ready to go back to their rooms.

The shopkeeper suddenly remembered something, and stopped the three of them, "Young Master, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhao. Mr. Li's house sent an invitation today, and invites you three, Mr. Song and Mr. Jiang to visit the house tomorrow."

Suspicion flashed across Zhao Qi and Lu Fengan's faces, they took their respective invitations from the shopkeeper, opened them, looked at them, and fell silent thoughtfully.

Zhao Lin looked at his invitation, turned his head to the two of them in puzzlement, and said, "As usual, the banquet for newly-promoted talents was already eaten yesterday, and the magistrate has said everything he should say, and now he invites us again." What is the purpose of passing the mansion tomorrow?"

Zhao Qi closed the invitation, lowered his eyes and said: "It's useless to think too much, the magistrate's intentions will be known when we go tomorrow. It's not early, let's rest."

"Brother Rui is right, brother Lin don't need to worry." Lu Fengan said with a bright smile on his face and patted Zhao Lin on the shoulder.

Zhao Lin glanced at his elder brother, then at Lu Fengan, feeling that the two of them had something to hide from him.

On the second day, at the magistrate's mansion, Lu Fengan handed over an invitation card, "Please report to the magistrate, Zhao Qi, Lu Fengan and others are invited to come."

The concierge took a look at the invitation and confirmed that it was the magistrate's handwriting, so he respectfully returned it to Lu Feng'an, "Young masters, please wait a moment, the younger one will report it now."

"Master Chen, try this new tea." Prefect Li and Chen Xuezheng sat facing each other by a lotus pond. There was a chess board on the table. It was obvious that the two had already played a game before.

Chen Xuezheng scraped off the tea powder with the tea lid, lowered his head and took a sip, feeling fresh and elegant with a long aftertaste.Chen Xuezheng put down the teacup and praised: "Although it is not a famous product, it is still an excellent tea. Mr. Li has good taste."

"To be appreciated by Mr. Chen, it is not in vain to come to this world." Li Zhifu clicked his tongue, with a smile on his face.

Chen Xuezheng raised his eyebrows, pointing out: "True gold is not afraid of fire, and good taste is not afraid of long distances. As long as it is worthy of quality, I am willing to give it a chance."

Li Zhifu smiled even more, "Master Chen has piercing eyes, you can tell whether he is a talent or a rubbish."

"It seems that Mr. Li is full of confidence." Chen Xuezheng smiled noncommittally, picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea.

Li Zhifu didn't think it was a stick, and said with a smile: "One more game?"

Chen Xuezheng shook his head, pointed to the butler of the Li Mansion who came in a hurry not far away, and said, "I'm afraid all the people who should come have come."

Sure enough, Steward Li walked up to the two of them, saluted Chen Xuezheng respectfully, and said, "Master, Zhao Qi, Lu Fengan and others are here to pay their respects."

Li Zhifu stroked his beard with a smile, and ordered: "Please come in."

"Yes." The butler replied, turned around in a hurry and ordered his servants to invite Zhao Qi and others.

After a while, Zhao Qi and the other five followed Li's servants and arrived in front of Li Zhifu.Seeing Chen Xuezheng sitting across from him, Zhao Qi and Lu Fengan looked at each other, with a flash of understanding and joy in their hearts.

"Students pay respects to Mr. Chen and Mr. Li."

The five people bowed respectfully and saluted, and only straightened up after Li Zhifu called out the salute.

Li Zhifu glanced at the five people, nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Everyone sit here, you don't need to be restrained."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Zhao Qi took the lead and sat down, and the other four sat down in a proper manner.The old butler of the Li Mansion Zhang Luo led the maid to serve tea and snacks, and the group of people retreated to a distance, waiting for the call.
