"My Lord, just now someone outside said that Xu Shao has come to Ji County. Why don't we go and take a look at him?"

Guo Jia suggested.

"Oh? Feng Xiao also likes face reading?"

Su Yan asked

"No." Guo Jia shook his head and said,"It's not that I want to read the face, but I hope that the lord can keep Xu Shao."

"Leave Xu Shao behind?"

Su Yan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, I just heard you say that your father cares about his reputation and likes to make friends with celebrities, and Xu Shao is a celebrity. If you can persuade him to go to Ji County to celebrate your father's birthday, and praise your father at the same time, it will be good for you."

Guo Jia said with a smile.

Su Yan thought about it and nodded,"Feng Xiao is right. It would be best if we could do so, but Xu Shao is a celebrity. I'm afraid he won't agree to let him celebrate my father's birthday?"

Su Ping is only a Youzhou Beijia, with no title except an official position.

Celebrities like Xu Shao think highly of themselves and generally disdain to do such flattery.

After listening, Guo Jia smiled and said,"Generally speaking, it is true."

"But I heard that Xu Shao is from Runan, and Runan is now in chaos with the Yellow Turbans. I'm afraid Xu Shao left his hometown to escape the war."

"Usually in this situation, he won't have too much money with him, so he can only use it sparingly."

"However, the nobles like to make friends and spend a lot of money, so I guess Xu Shao is out of money."

"The reason why he spread the news and asked ordinary people to ask him for comments was to make money, otherwise I think he would not bother to read the faces of ordinary people."

Guo Jia explained with a smile.

After hearing this, Su Yan suddenly realized and said,"So that's why, thanks to Feng Xiao, otherwise I almost missed the big thing"

"My Lord, you are too kind."

Guo Jia said with a smile.

Su Yan looked around and found that everyone had left, so he said:"Let's take a short break here and let those people rush to line up first. When they have seen enough, we will go"

"My lord is wise."

Several people nodded, and then sat down.

After a while, when they finished their meal, Su Yan stood up and said,"Let's go, let's go and see Xu Shao's comments."

The group left the tavern and followed the direction of the crowd, heading towards the other direction of the town.

After a while, they came to an open area, and saw a large circle of people not far away. There were about three or four hundred people, and they surrounded Xu Shao on the middle stage in circles, blocking the way.

Zhao Yun asked,"My lord, how about we take you in?"

Su Yan shook his head and said,"No, it seems that so many people can't play for a while. You find someone to stay here. After it's over, see where Xu Shao lives, and we will go to his residence to visit him."

""Yes!"

Zhao Yun took the lead and arranged for one person to stay.

Su Yan took the others to go somewhere else to play, and did not return to the post station until dusk.

At night,

Su Yan stayed in Guo Jia's room and chatted with him. Zhao Yun knocked on the door and walked in.

"My Lord, I have heard that Xu Shao lives in an inn not far from us. It is very close.

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said.

Su Yan asked,"What was the situation during the daytime evaluation?"

Zhao Yun replied,"According to the report of the guards left behind, Xu Shao does not look at people's status when evaluating them, but he charges 10,000 coins per person. Basically, except for the rich and powerful, ordinary people do not look down on him."

"But even so, Xu Shao was busy for nearly a day and did not return to the post station until dusk."

"His comments were very accurate, and everyone was convinced and rushed to have him read their faces."

Su Yan asked,"Have ordinary people asked him to read their faces?""

"Yes, but Xu Shao refused, saying that rules are rules and cannot be broken."

Su Yan understood, stood up and looked at Guo Jia and said:"Feng Xiao, rest at the inn now, I will go to meet Xu Shao"

""Yes!"

Guo Jia saluted, and then said:"My lord, Xu Shao is a famous scholar after all, it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant, you must not be angry with him."

"Don't worry."

Su Yan smiled and said,"What kind of personality do I have? Can't Feng Xiao see it? Even if Xu Shao is arrogant, I have a way to deal with him."

"In that case, Na Jia will wait for your good news here."

Seeing that Su Yan understood what he meant, Guo Jia stopped persuading him.

Su Yan looked at Zhao Yun and said,"Let's go, Zilong."

The two of them left the inn and walked towards the inn where Xu Shao was. After entering, they went up to the second floor and knocked on the door.

""Creaky!"

The door opened, and an elegant middle-aged scholar came out.

Xu Shao looked at the two of them with a slightly tired look, and said lightly:"I'm sorry, today's review is over. If you have anything to say, we'll talk tomorrow. Please go back."

He turned around and went back to the house to close the door.

Seeing this, Su Yan rushed over and directly reached out to press the door.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing this, Xu Shao glared at him.

He came all the way from Runan to Youzhou. No matter where he went, people were respectful to him and asked him for comments, not daring to overstep the mark.

But the young man in front of him was rude, which made him very dissatisfied.

Su Yan smiled faintly and said,"Mr. Xu, I'm not looking for you to read my face. I have something I need your help with. Of course, I will give you a satisfactory reward."

Hearing this, Xu Shao looked at Su Yan. At first he was disdainful, but gradually turned to confusion, and finally to shock.

After a long time, he regained his composure.

He looked at Su Yan, and suddenly became interested. He waved his hand and said,"Please!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xu!"

Su Yan thanked him and asked Zhao Yun to stay outside. He went into the room alone.

After entering, the host and the guest sat down.

Su Yan bowed and said,"I am Su Yan from Ji County. I am honored to meet you, Mr. Xu. I am sorry for disturbing you just now."

Xu Shao thought for a while, then looked at him in surprise.

"Are you, Su Yan, the recently famous magistrate of Zhuo County?"

"It is me."

Su Yan nodded and smiled,"I never thought that I, a small local official, unknown and inconspicuous, could be heard by the famous scholar Mr. Xu. It is really an honor."

"Magistrate Su does not need to be modest. He must be an extraordinary person to be accepted as a disciple by Lord Lu."

Xu Shao waved his hand.

He asked,"I wonder why Magistrate Su came here this time?"

Su Yan asked directly,"My father's birthday is coming recently. I met you by chance. I hope you can give some comments on my father. I don't ask for too much praise, just general praise."

Xu Shao asked,"May I ask what position your father holds now?"

Su Yan said,"My father is the current Beijia of Youzhou, and he is in charge of Youzhou."

Xu Shao frowned and refused,"No!"

Su Yan said,"May I ask why, sir?"
