Wei Junli didn't sleep well all night. Logically speaking, when it came to Weeping Willow, he should write a letter to his father and mother to report that he was safe, but he was stained with ink and sat in front of a bright and clear desk. He even picked up the pen but didn't know what to write.
The boy who had been following him all the way from the capital saw that he had not started writing for a long time, so he asked in confusion: "Does Mr. Lang want to polish his ink?"
"That's all."
Wei Junli put down his brush: "Let's wait until we see Yuanhua tomorrow before writing a letter home."
His father and mother are also very curious and yearning for Yuanhua. He wrote a letter home today. He has to write another letter tomorrow to describe what Yuanhua looks like. He might as well write it after he has finished admiring the flowers tomorrow.
Early the next morning, when Ji Changze came to see Wei Junli, he couldn't wait to ask how those novel objects were made.
Ji Changze had guessed that Wei Junli would ask, so he placed his brother-in-law in the only room in the inner office with a shower and toilet light.
In fact, before he knew about Wei Junli's arrival, he planned to select the most talented among the visiting talents, and use the excuse of "Hey, young man, we are very close" to invite him to talk about poetry and Taoism, and then it would be a matter of course at night. of stay.
And after the other party saw so many novel objects, he had to tell others when he returned to the capital.
But it’s the same thing if I switch to my brother-in-law, and the effect is better.
He gently explained the principles of toilets and showers, and then said about the desk lamp: "Actually, its original name is kerosene lamp. It is made of glass on the outside and contains kerosene as fuel inside. After making it, I usually put it under the lamp. The table was used for reading and writing at night, so it was named a table lamp.”
Seeing Wei Junli's sudden realization, Ji Changze started to work enthusiastically. This kerosene lamp has a glass cover on the outside. It can be taken out at night without fear of being blown out by the wind. It is brighter than a lantern, and the brightness can also be controlled.
Brother-in-law, do you think this is good? like or not
like? My brother-in-law will give you a few. It's okay. We are all a family. There will be a lantern festival at Weeping Willow tonight. You can definitely go out with the kerosene lanterns and the men who came with you. It's not for Amway to go out for brother-in-law to make money. It's just a kerosene lamp that's convenient to take around.
Wei Junli didn't realize at all that his brother-in-law wanted to rely on his kerosene lamp for convenience. He only felt that his brother-in-law generously gave such a precious and novel thing to him, and even enjoyed it when he appeared in front of his friends with a kerosene lamp that was not even available in the capital. How envious they would be.
My brother-in-law is so kind, how can he be so considerate.
Ever since, both of them were very happy. After dinner, Ji Changze and Wei Junli went to Yuan Hualin together. The banner was still "Brother-in-law, these are your friends. Don't worry, brother-in-law will definitely help you entertain them. I will entertain them myself." , I promise to give you enough face," which increased Wei Junli's favorability.
Wuxian Cheng, who was also brought here, looked at the young man who almost looked at their Lord Ji with eyes full of stars, and felt that he had praised this man yesterday in vain.
How can he not know if others don't know? A few days ago, your Excellency specially prepared a "one-stop travel plan" for these scholars who came to see Yuanhua, but now it has become a "plan to support my brother-in-law."
Hey, he is another silly Baitian who was deceived by Master Ji. After witnessing so many people who were deceived by Master Ji, Wu Xiancheng has been able to calm down his inner complaints very well.
Wu Xian Cheng thought very confidently, fortunately, he had already seen through the true nature of the adults and was still as strong as before.
For example, today is his day off, but now he has to give up his vacation and come out to accompany the Lord. This is such a dedication. Although the Lord is deeply scheming, his subordinates are generous and may be able to give him some benefits.
Ji Changze: "Wuxian Cheng, today is your day off, so I don't want to bother you anymore. I just met the chief clerk, and he said he can help you. Why don't you let the chief clerk and me go out today?"
Wuxian Cheng: "!!!"
How can this be done? Although the chief clerk is in charge of different matters and his official position is higher than that of the chief clerk, in front of the Lord, they are all subordinates.
Of course there is competition between subordinates, especially if they are all civil servants, and even more so. How can he allow the chief clerk to accompany the adults on his behalf
Let’s take the incident last time as an example. Originally, he and your Majesty were the only ones who were of the same mind, but in the end, the chief bookkeeper just helped you look at the account books and did something extra, so your Majesty listed him as one of your own. People.
Not only that, he also gave him food, oil, meat and vegetables, and the adults even gave him a "bonus" out of his own pocket. The old boy who was the chief bookkeeper didn't have a glowing face in those days.
Although he said he had these things, Wu Xian Cheng still felt full of crisis.
He immediately expressed his loyalty: "There is no need to trouble the chief clerk. I have been feeling a little bored in the yamen all day. I was about to go out for a walk. Your Excellency came to look for me. I can't get what I asked for."
Wuxian Cheng wished he could smile like a flower on his face, every cell in his body was filled with "I'm so happy to come out", and he tried his best to show his loyalty to Ji Changze.
Seeing Ji Changze nodded, as if he believed him, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt proud.
I just said, how can the chief bookkeeper compete with him
He was so grateful to the Shangguan who agreed to follow him that he completely forgot about the benefits he was thinking about just a moment ago.
Ji Changze smiled at him and received a big, loyal smile in response.
Anyway, that’s the same sentence.
Wuxian Cheng is happy, Wei Junli is also happy, Ji Changze is also happy, as long as everyone is happy.
At Yuanhua Forest, when they arrived, these gentlemen who still insisted on being elegant and not warm despite the cold weather, wearing light and fluttering good-looking clothes, had all gotten up one after another, and were standing on the second floor of the inn looking at Yuanhua not far away downstairs. Forest.
I have to say that Yuanhua is really beautiful. A single flower is pretty enough. When put together, when the wind blows, some beautiful light pink petals fall off. The entire forest is covered with petals, like a fairyland.
If there is a favorable wind, it can bring a wave of elegant fragrance here.
Isn’t it that these gentlemen came all the way to this little place called Weeping Willow just to see this? Now that they got what they wanted, everyone was satisfied without eating. After washing, they gathered together to watch. Some people even got so poetic that they started to compose a poem on the spot, and their companions nearby also praised them very much.
They were quite satisfied after seeing what they wanted to see. The fatigue and bumps along the way, the exhaustion of not being able to find a place to stay and having to live on the carriage at night, were all wiped away after seeing such a beautiful scene.
It's not a worthwhile trip, it's not a worthwhile trip.
Then Ji Changze came.
He said enthusiastically that since you are Junli's friends, you are also my friends. There will be a lantern party tonight at my weeping willow to commemorate Miss Yuan'er. I hope everyone can come and participate.
Initially, these gentlemen were not very interested, as their hearts were still immersed in the beautiful Yuanhua Forest, but when they heard that the lantern festival was in memory of Miss Yuan'er, they immediately became energetic.
"But in memory of the infatuated woman who turned into a Yuanhua tree?"
"Does Miss Yuan'er really exist?"
Ji Changze smiled slightly: "There should be Yuan'er. This legend has always been passed down orally in Chuiliu. It's just that it's so old that I don't know exactly which dynasty it was in."
After getting the official certification, the husbands became more and more excited, and they started asking questions.
"Do you know where Yuan'er lived? Can we go and have a look?"
"I heard that Yuan'er once wrote a poem to express his love for me. Is it true?"
Ji Changze had expected this, otherwise he wouldn't have tricked Wuxian Cheng out.
He looked at Wuxian Cheng next to him quite naturally: "Wuxian Cheng should know these folklore better than me. You can ask him."
Original author Wuxian Cheng: "..."
He coughed dryly, stiffened his expression, and smiled dryly: "Miss Yuan'er did write a poem."
Waiting for Wu Xian Cheng to read out the poem dryly, all the gentlemen nodded, recalling the poem in their hearts.
"Although the sentence is plain, it can be seen that it is sincere."
"I heard that Miss Yuan'er is just a commoner woman, and even how to read was taught by her fiance-in-law. It's good to be able to write such a poem."
Others had pity in their eyes: "You can tell as soon as you hear it, the person who wrote this poem must be a delicate and beautiful woman, otherwise, how could she have such a clear and infatuated heart."
Ji Changze almost couldn't hold back his laughter and exhaled. When Lang Jun, who said this, looked at him with eyes seeking approval, he glanced at Wu, the middle-aged man next to him with narrowed eyes and mustache and a sore face. County magistrate.
Nodding seriously: "Well, you're right."
Very good, very good, this group of tourists was easier to fool than he thought.
