Ye Xiaotian looked up, and saw Li Xiangrong strolling in slowly, looking around, with a curious look on his face. Ye Xiaotian put away the letter, left the case to greet him, and asked with a smile: "Brother Li, what kind of wind is this that brought you here?"
Li Xiangrong smiled and said: "Hehe, I passed by here by chance, and suddenly thought that today is your first day at the Yamen, brother, so I came here to have a look. Tsk tsk, brother Ye, your criminal hall has a new look now, and the atmosphere is very different from the past ah."
Ye Xiaotian made a haha, invited Li Xiangrong to sit down, ordered the servants to serve tea, and said to Li Jing: "The younger brother has just arrived at the post, so he has to do something, but you can also see that there are so many people, so far there is no one." It's opening..."
Li Xiangrong sighed, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Brother Ye, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. In fact, it's not bad to be like you now, especially in our Guizhou. It's not easy! Rather than step by step Wrong, ruined reputation, it is better to walk like a car, and seek stability and peace.
In a word: mix! You are still young, so young, no matter how hard you work, where can you climb? It is better to get seniority. In another forty years, as long as your wife has been in the officialdom in a peaceful way and has not been drowned by strong winds and waves, you will be able to be a five-year-old. How beautiful is it to retire from an official position of the sixth grade! "
Ye Xiaotian sincerely said to Li Xiangrong: "Brother Li's good words, I will keep them in my heart."
Li Xiangrong was very relieved to see that Ye Xiaotian showed great respect for his mixed-character senior, and felt that a child could be taught, not like the rumors in the Yamen said: "This person has a bad temper!" 'It can be seen that the rumors are not enough to be believed, so I put on the air of a big brother and continued to enlighten him.
Li Xiangrong said: "The officials in Tongren Mansion are no better than those in the Central Plains. Most of the Zhengyin officials who are in power here are local officials and they all have roots. Naturally, they are not close to you, a low-ranking official. This is also human nature. Don't go there. Take it to heart. How about this, tonight I will be the host for you to meet the wind, how about we go to Qinglang Street'Ke Lai Ju' for a few drinks."
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Let my elder brother spend money, how dare my younger brother do it! How about this, tonight at Xushi, Yihong Courtyard, my younger brother will be the host. Brother Li must ask his wife for leave first, haha..."
When Li Xiangrong heard about Yihong Courtyard, his brows twitched a few times, and he thought to himself: "Hey! This official Ye Tui has quite a lot of money, and a table in Yihong Courtyard is more than twice as expensive as a guest house. Especially for guests Laiju is a restaurant, but this Yihong Courtyard is a brothel, according to him, you still want to find a girl to stay with me?"
Thinking of this, Li Xiangren, who returned to Tongren only a few days earlier than Ye Xiaotian, immediately felt a little sore in his back. When he was in Huxian County, Master Bai found him two charming girls, and they played and sang with him every night, it was really like a fairy. But after leaving Huxian County and returning to Tongren, his lack of energy surged up all of a sudden, and he has not recovered until now.
Li Xiangrong smiled and said: "You, you, your sex is like a bone-scraping steel knife, young man, you must be temperate."
Ye Xiaotian said: "It's the elders who often use this sentence to scare people. In fact, it's the same as children playing with fire and love to pee on the kang. It doesn't make any sense. Men and women love each other. What harm is there?"
Li Xiangrong immediately said seriously: "No, no, it's true! Too much indulging, it's really debilitating!"
"Um?"
Ye Xiaotian cast an inquiring look at Li Xiangrong, Li Xiangrong suddenly woke up, his old face blushed, what he said just now was clearly admitting that he was not a great husband in bed, Li Jingli hurriedly changed the topic embarrassingly , and sat for a while, then got up to say goodbye.
Ye Xiaotian sent him to the door, and the two agreed to go to Yihong Courtyard for a drink in the evening, and Ye Xiaotian turned back to the main hall of the criminal hall. As soon as he stepped into the lobby with one leg, a Zao Li chased him up from behind, panting: "Master... Master , there are two people at the gate of the yamen, and they keep saying that they want to fight to the death."
Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed when he heard that business finally came to his door. He immediately entered the hall, walked around to sit behind the public case, slapped the gavel, and shouted: "Come on! Ascension!"
Zaoli from the book office and a yamen servant came to the hall one after another, and Li Qiuchi also rushed to stand beside Ye Xiaotian. After Tang Wei shouted, Zaoli in front of the door brought two victims into the lobby. Ye Xiaotian's eyes were piercing, and he was roaring like a tiger, but when he saw the people, he was immediately discouraged.
At the side, Li Qiuchi went in without knowing it. Seeing the two people coming to the hall, they were grinning in disgrace. He immediately took a step forward and shouted: "Bold! Why don't you kneel when you see Mr. Tuiguan!"
Ye Xiaotian said weakly: "Forget it, Mr. Li, the two of them are students of the government school, they have achieved fame, so there is no need to kneel!"
Li Qiuchi wondered, "Dong Weng recognizes these two people?"
Gao Ya and Li Bohao bowed their hands to Ye Xiaotian with a smile, and said: "Brother Ye came to Tongren to be an official, but he didn't tell us, it's not interesting." Li Qiuchi, who had just mentioned his fighting spirit, knew what they said They were old acquaintances, and they were immediately discouraged.
Gao Ya and Li Bohao were originally students of the Huxian County School, and later their fathers were both named hereditary chief officials by the imperial court, and the two of them went to the government school to study. It can be given a fellow Jinshi background.
Hearing what the two of them said, Ye Xiaotian knew that their so-called duel was just teasing the Zaoli in front of the door, so he couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the sky, and said coldly: "Just to worship the land, you have to prepare three melons, two dates, and incense candles for a firecracker battle. You came to see me empty-handed?"
Li Bohao said with a smile: "Brother Ye, it's no wonder the two of us. It's not that we don't know how to be respectful, it's that we really can't think of what to give you. How about this, tonight, we two brothers are hosts in Yihong Courtyard, please How about you drink it to your heart's content?"
"Yihong Courtyard?" Ye Xiaotian, who suddenly thought that he didn't have to pay for it himself, immediately smiled and said: "You two virtuous brothers, please sit down, please sit down! Come here, serve tea! Serve good tea!"

As the saying goes, the counties and towns in eastern Guizhou are uniquely beautiful than Tongren. Tongren Mansion, located in the middle of thousands of mountains, really dominates the eastern part of Guizhou with its beautiful scenery. And there is a high mountain in the west half of Tongren City, named Lingzhang, and there is a Niujiao Cave on Lingzhang Mountain, which can be called a wonderful show.
In the twilight, a group of young people with undiminished amusement climbed up Lingzhang Mountain laughing and laughing. Looking at these people, male or female, all of them are dressed in brocade robes and jade belts, obviously they are the children of rich and noble families. There is a seven-story pagoda on Lingzhang Mountain, and a lock is hung on the wooden door under the pagoda. Those young men and women who went to the pagoda were very disappointed when they saw that they could not climb the pagoda and look far away.
One of them suddenly said: "Just an iron general holding the door, can it be difficult for you and me? Let me find something to open the lock."
The person who spoke was none other than the former Tuiguan master Yu Hai, Yu Hai, named Dongsheng. Although he is well-known and has worked as an official in the government office, he is actually young. You must know that he is Yu Junting's cousin, and how old is Yu Junting now
Yu Hai is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and he has a lot of playfulness. He searched around, found a wooden stick, inserted it into the keyhole and pulled it hard, but the iron lock is very strong, how can it be opened. Two teenagers stepped forward to help, and the three of them exerted their strength together. Suddenly, with a click, the stick broke, and the three of them fell to the ground.
Seeing their embarrassment, a girl in red clothes next to them couldn't help laughing "puchi". This red dress girl is just like a cardamom, with a double bun, handsome eyebrows and big eyes, fair complexion, and lip smudges, she is a very handsome little girl.
Smiled by the little girl, the three boys were a little embarrassed and got up from the ground with blushing faces. At this moment, a boy in white robes beside him shouted in surprise: "The door is open, the door is open!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked, and saw that although the iron lock had not been pried open, the wooden door had been weathered for a long time, and it was already rotten. The prying broke the wood around the lock cylinder, and the door opened. Everyone cheered and rushed to the door. Into the tower to go.
"Hey! Come up quickly! What a bunch of idiots, they are out of breath after climbing a few floors."
The girl in red clothes was the first to rush to the top of the tower, stood on top and yelled triumphantly to the people below, and the people below replied with a laugh, because there was an echo in the tower, everyone was chattering, but they couldn't hear clearly something. The girl in red clothes waited for a while, but she still didn't see them coming up, so she felt bored, so she walked to the outer railing of the tower and looked at the railing.
In the distance, the water of the Jinjiang River sparkles in the setting sun. From here, even the Dongshan Temple facing each other can be seen clearly. The girl, when the wind blows, her clothes flutter, she wants to soar to the sky.
The second person to climb to the top of the tower was a young man in green clothes, about eighteen or nineteen years old. He climbed to the top of the tower, put his hands on his knees, panting heavily, and was about to greet the girl, when he saw her beautiful posture overlooking the railing, his eyes were fixed.
The slender waist, the soft dress hangs close to the body, showing off the youthful and immature body curve, and the belt and skirt are flying in the air, between every movement and stillness, that kind of astonishing feeling like flying into the sky Come on.
The young man in green clothes had long been secretly in love with the girl in red clothes, and suddenly seeing her so graceful and moving, and there were only the two of them on the top of the tower, the young man in green clothes rushed forward with enthusiasm, without even thinking about it, he rushed forward and hugged her A girl in red clothes. The girl in red was suddenly embraced by someone, and she screamed in fright and straightened up.
The young man in green clothes hugged her, kissed her down without thinking, and kept saying in his mouth: "Cicada, good Chan, I like you, I like you so much!"
"But you don't like you, get the hell out of here!" The girl in red angrily pushed away the boy in green, who blushed and said, "Cicada, I really like you, you...you marry me?" Bar."
The girl in red clothes wiped the spittle off her face in disgust, and when she heard that he was still rambunctious, she became even more disgusted in her heart, as soon as she lifted the red skirt, she flew away and scolded: "You are so disgusting, get out of here! "
"oops!"
The young man in green clothes was kicked by the girl in red clothes, he staggered back two steps, bumped his back against the fence, and turned over all of a sudden.
"ah!"
The young man in the green shirt was so frightened that his mind flew away, he quickly reached out and grabbed the second fence, his whole body was suspended in the air, when he looked at the ground, his body was so frightened that his body went limp, and he immediately screamed in fear Get up: "Pull me up, pull me up quickly."
The red-clothed girl originally wanted to kick him to vent her anger, after all, she was a good friend and didn't really want to do anything to him. Seeing this situation, her little face turned pale with fright, and the red-clothed girl rushed forward to pull him away Get up, but just as the red-clothed girl stretched out her hand, the young man in green-clothed who was so frightened that his bones were weak and his strength was gone screamed, and he dropped his hand and fell down the tower...
