Zhao Guanren once thought that Yuniang was playing tricks, and was afraid that the new maid would compete with her, so he bought six earthy fat balls on purpose to disgust him, but when the neighbors came to congratulate him, he realized that Dashun, like Datang, all Fat is beautiful.
A fat person represents a wealthy family and is good at giving birth, while a thin person represents poverty and lack of prosperity. Therefore, Miss Bian’s thin bamboo poles cannot be married when she is in her twenties, and she looks down on her if her family is good. No, I became an old girl by force.
"Damn it! How much money is it to eat me so fat, and raise six little fat pigs..."
Zhao Guanren was sitting in the courtyard full of complaints, while the six chubby girls were busy running around, cleaning inside and out and preparing for the dinner.
The two cooks also bought back, handed over the front and rear gates to two old couples, and invited professional cooks to set up a dinner party. After all this, more than three hundred taels of silver were gone.
"Master! I heard that you invited the magistrate..."
Yuniang ran over panting, as if she had become a little housekeeper, she whispered in her ear: "Our Lantai county magistrate calls Song Chizhu, he is not a good person, even the Bian family hates him three points, he came to you There must be a big gift, and he has to sleep!"
"Sleeping person?"
Zhao Guanren was stunned and said, "Who does he want to sleep with, he won't sleep with me, right? What does Song eat pig mean?"
"It's just that I have to eat a pig every time. That guy is greedy for money, lustful and delicious..."
Yu Niang said dissatisfied: "He is famous for eating and sleeping, you must not arrange for him to sleep with a girl, if you don't satisfy him, he will come to make trouble the next day, I think he will definitely pick Ling Sister Er, Sister Linger is so plump and beautiful!"
"Uh~"
Zhao Guanren looked at the fat women who were like small tanks, and said stiffly: "Girl! Plump means that the places that should be fat are fat, and the places that should not be fat can only be a little fleshy, like this kind of body that is thick all over the body." Damn girl, it’s the bucket that’s turned into a spirit!”
"Pfft~"
Yu Niang covered her mouth and laughed, lying next to his ear and said: "I know what the young master is happy about. For example, the nanny who guarded the door before, I think the young master's saliva is about to flow out. I will go find a matchmaker tomorrow." , give the young master two concubines!"
"don't want!"
Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said, "What kind of concubines do you want? Just buy two decent maids!"
"No! The young master is fooling around with servants, it's hard to say..."
Yu Niang said: "I'm your housemate, you can only fool around with me, no! You can only let me sleep, and you will drown if you give birth to a child. The rules of the rich family are very strict. If you lack one, you will be punished." Pointing fingers may even affect your official career!"
"Okay! I'll be fooling around with you at night, go get busy..."
Zhao Guanren quickly patted her on the buttocks, and Yuniang left happily, but what she said was right, the ancients paid special attention to the dignity of the old and the young, and there were a lot of rules, which made him a modern person. life.
"Young master Zhang! The magistrate of Song Dynasty is here in person, hurry up and greet him..."
The head of the yamen ran in quickly, Da Shunchao had dinner after four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was normal for visitors to come after three o'clock.
"Brother Liu! Why are you so anxious..."
Zhao Guanren got up unhurriedly, put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Although my two older brothers are gone, there are old friends from all over the world who take care of me. The older officials are not big, but they can control some things, so I To respect you is to treat you as a friend, to respect him... let's see!"
"Alas~ what you said out of your heart is like boiling water in my heart..."
Mr. Liu held his hand excitedly, and said, "Brother! What we should respect is still to be respected. Mr. Song is the nephew of Mr. Zhou, the servant of the household department, and Mr. Zhou is the nephew of Mr. Zhou, the minister of the official department. This corner is the second grade, the emperor's close minister!"
"I know! Otherwise why would I invite him over..."
Zhao Guanren pretended to be forced to go out
, when I went out, I saw a group of yamen servants. Men in the Dashun Dynasty usually rode horses, even civil servants. It was rare to see men sitting in sedan chairs. Sweating profusely.
"Hey! The whole county government has come..."
Zhao Guanren stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, Master Liu said with a smile: "Normally Master Song would not come, but your eldest brother is the famous Zhang Tianbao, he must give this face, and the two behind are Hu Xiancheng As well as Li Dianshi, Hu Xiancheng's background is not small!"
"My lords are here, it really makes the humble house flourish..."
Zhao Guanren stood on the steps and clasped his hands. Yuniang led the servants to greet him in a hurry, bowing his head and standing on both sides in a polite manner, but according to the rules, Zhao Guanren was going down to greet him, and there was still a lot of etiquette to talk about. Breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Young Master Zhang! I have admired your name for a long time..."
Hu Xiancheng jumped down from the horse briskly, wearing a green official robe, with silver thread embroidered on the chest for some reason, clasped his fists in return, and looked like he was watching the show.
This was the first time Zhao Guanren saw Dashun officials. Dashun's official robes looked similar to those of the Ming Dynasty. There were two small wings on the back of the official hat, but the yamen servants were all dressed smartly, and no one wore obtrusive robes. All are black with red borders, and there is a patch with the word "Ya" on the chest.
"Young master Zhang! You are really arrogant..."
There was a strange sound of yin and yang in the sedan chair, but Zhao Guanren put his hands behind his back and said, "Master Song! I am too cold to stand on a high place. I may not be able to stand stably if I stand high, but I am stable when I sit low. Master Zhao asked me to bring you In other words, you must sit still!"
"Which Master Zhao?"
The car curtain was thrown open abruptly, and it turned out to be a fat man with a white face, and his red official uniform was almost bursting from his fat body.
"Adults know it well, why bother to ask more..."
Zhao Guanren finally walked to the sedan chair and bowed to salute, and said with a smile: "I heard that the supervisor is coming back soon, and I have two news, good and bad, for you. Xiaosheng will not reveal the secret in advance, but there is something closely related to the adult, presumably. The adults must be very interested!"
"Oh? Let's hear it..."
Song Chizhu looked him up and down, and Zhao Guanren leaned closer and said, "Many people silently care about your lord, caring about every detail. For example, your lord, the beauty flowers you have picked total ninety-seven. If you add three more, you can make up the whole thing." It's all done, just a hundred people beheaded!"
"You, how did you know that I..."
Song Chizhu was so frightened that he talked out of his tongue. This is his greatest privacy, but it seems that he may have counted himself, and someone's unknown friend has also been counted.
"My lord, don't worry!"
Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "You and I are fellow travelers. We are not enemies now, and we will never be in the future. Today, I invite you to come into the mansion for a brief introduction. It is purely a familiarity. I will not talk about official business, but just talk about romance, eating, drinking and having fun! "
"Okay, okay! The Zhang family is full of loyalty, it's really my blessing..."
Song Chizhu came down and helped him up with his own hands, and even grabbed his arm. Zhao Guanren humbly invited him in. It seems that no matter how ancient or modern, this officialdom has not changed much, and even the doorway is exactly the same.
"Fire the cannon! Welcome to the mansion..."
Yuniang let out a soft shout, and the two concierges quickly lit the firecrackers, and quickly led their wives to beat the gongs and drums, while Zhao Guanren shouted: "Sing the salute! Sing the salutes of the adults loudly, let everyone The people in the city are all happy for us!"
"Uh~"
Master Song and the others all froze. They were doing their best to save face by coming. They had to fall asleep after eating and eating. There was no reason to put money in it.
"Hmm~ that..."
Mr. Song looked at Director Liu in embarrassment, and said, "Master Liu, go and see if the official's gift has arrived, you can't go the wrong way and make people laugh!"
"Humble job understands!"
Master Liu is so clever, he quickly called a few people to buy it on the spot, Zhao Guanren led a group of people straight into the inner mansion, and all the neighbors came to eat the rich, but the sycophants all followed the ceremony when they heard the magistrate. Naturally, I dare not give less gift money.
"Come on! Master Song, please take your seat..."
Mr. Song was confused by Zhao Guanren's "beautiful front and respectful later". After he sat down, he smiled like a fool, and Hu Xiancheng was also confused. He didn't know what he said to Mr. Song, so he could only laugh along with him. , for fear of accidentally stepping on mine.
"It's not right..."
A yamen servant sat at a table in the corner and said in confusion: "I have seen the third young master of the Zhang family. When he came to collect his second brother's pension, it happened to be the way I pointed out. He is about the same age, but he doesn't look like this!"
"Did you drink too much? Isn't that the old lady of the Zhang family? She can still mistake her son..."
The colleagues were all dismissive, and it happened that Zhao Guanren led Yuniang over, first toasted them with a glass of wine, and then sent them a big red envelope one by one, and got acquainted with each other happily, and then moved to another battle. a table.
"Gold Leaf!"
The yamen servants suddenly widened their eyes, and there were actually two gold leaves in each red envelope, and their two leaders quickly opened it, but seven or eight pieces fell out in a "speech", and they were so frightened that they quickly picked it up and hurriedly picked it up. stuffed into his arms.
"My mother! Mr. Zhang is so generous, how rich is this..."
The servants were all so excited that it was just their ignorance. The gold leaves looked huge, but a dozen or so of gold could be knocked out, and the thin ones were as thin as paper. More than 30 of them added up. The total value does not exceed fifty taels.
"Everyone! This Mr. Zhang San is not an ordinary person..."
The head catcher said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang is stubborn. Only when he offended was he sent to die. The stupid second wanted to avenge him, but he also died. But this one is very powerful. Miss Bian treats him all the time." Be respectful and respectful, and look at our lord's face, the girl dare not look at it!"
"Thank you mansion! Thank you for coming! A pair of gold ingots, ten bolts of silk, and a sword..."
The little old man at the porter shouted loudly, and the rich and powerful gentry in the courtyard hurriedly got up, only to see a robust middle-aged man walking in, with a white-faced boy behind him, who was familiar with Mr. Song when he came up. Salute and leave everyone else aside.
"Thank you, member! It's been a long time, please come in and talk..."
Zhao Guanren stood up with a smile, and Xie Yuanwai laughed tacitly, and followed him into the house very affectionately. Naturally, he was talking about the killer last night. Before that, he sent someone to deliver a military steel knife. I just came here in person.
"Master Huang! How did you inquire about the news? He has known Lao Xie for a long time, how could you not know..."
Mr. Song patted the table angrily, and the master said aggrievedly: "My lord! I mentioned to you earlier that he helped Xie's family to make a big fuss about Bian's shop. Miss Bian came forward in person, and the two are old acquaintances. , but you didn't care at the time!"
"I… "
Mr. Song was speechless, unable to swear, and said impatiently: "You go to find that Master Liu, and order him to add another batch of congratulatory gifts. The King of Hades is so nice to see you, but the little devil is hard to avoid. You must not capsize in the gutter! "
Mr. Song was bleeding heavily tonight, and he wanted to find out where Zhao Guanren came from, but it was inconvenient for him to speak in front of all the guests, and the others didn't take it seriously when they saw him giving such a great gift People came to visit him one after another.
"Bian Mansion! Miss Bian is here, congratulating a pair of golden pigs, fifty pieces of silk, ten precious knives, one horse, ten pure gold lighters, ten boxes of special cigarettes, and some pearls and agates..."
"Wow!"
The guests were in an uproar, Mr. Song was shocked by such a solemn ceremony, and Mr. Xie, who had just seated, sneered again and again. Only Zhao Guanren stood alone in front of the room door, looking at Bian Xianglan who was striding forward, and said with a smirk: "That's it!" Don finally didn't lose money, and made a lot of money!"
