Before Li Kuan had time to clean up the room, he heard the sound of the front door hitting the door. Zhang Chong opened the side door quickly, poked his head and saw more than a dozen people outside the house, each with the dust on their faces, and said respectfully. : "Xiongtai, why are you here?"
"Excuse me, Xiongtai tells me that it was the envoy of Jingzhou and Changshi who came to pay respects!"
The man replied respectfully. Zhang Chong nodded and closed the side door. He hurried to the main hall to find Li Kuan and explained the situation to him. Li Kuan was taken aback. He didn't expect these people to get the news so quickly. He just arrived at the mansion. It didn't take long before I knew I had arrived, but this was the first time I met, and his nominal supreme officer had to be interviewed, or he would be disrespectful.
After a while, the main gate opened, and Li Kuan came out to greet him personally. The officials from Jingzhou governor, Changshi and other officials were astonished, bowed in response, and entered the mansion in order of rank. As a governor of a state, Cishi was naturally the first to enter, and under the leadership of Zhang Chong, he followed Li Kuan to the main hall.
Li Kuan was fortunate that the furniture in the main hall was fully prepared, otherwise the guests would not even have a place to sit, then it would really not make sense. Among the crowd of greetings, Li Kuan saw familiar faces. One of them was the man who had just introduced the mansion to him.
Everyone did not wear official uniforms, which was not necessary for official business, but they were also the regular uniforms made by officials at all levels prescribed by the court. Jingzhou governor Gai Wenda, Changshi Quanwen birthday, Sima, Lushi joined the army, the magistrate of Jiangling County and Liucao's people all communicated with each other.
Then, Li Kuan embarrassedly said: "My colleagues are very grateful for the visit, but he has hurried here without telling me. I wanted to settle down before going to your mansion. Today I was a little poor in hospitality. I hope you Haihan!"
"Your Royal Highness is polite, it was a certain kind of abruptness who didn't inform in advance!" Gavinda, as the governor of Jingzhou, naturally has him to speak. Others just pool the number of people. Seeing the world does not really have the right to speak, Gavinda also Knowing that Li Kuan had not been properly settled when he first arrived, they came immediately after receiving the news. It was indeed a little abrupt, but they felt embarrassed.
It was not someone who notified the news, but one of the six Cao Cao Shi. Although Li Kuan has no actual power, he just puts on a false name, but this etiquette cannot be spared. In addition to the false position of the general governor, there is also the status of the king of Chu, so they must pay respects to avoid losing courtesy.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with them coming this time, it was just a cutscene, and face was always given. Naturally, Li Kuan would not deny face, and he was polite and talkative. Even if they don't come, Li Kuan intends to pay him a visit, and see him in Jiangling County, Jingzhou. It would be nice to say hello to him. A genius remembers Chinese in one second 8/1/z/o/m/
Everyone left in a hurry after just sitting on a cup of tea. Of course, they didn't come empty-handed. Everyone gave gifts. It is natural for Li Kuan to prepare some gifts for the first visit. This is human nature. If he refuses, it means not giving them face.
It doesn't matter if he has real power, it's really nothing to accept these gifts if he just put a name on it right now.
Li Kuan personally sent them away and quickly opened everyone's gifts to see if there were any items he needed. When he opened the scattered gifts, he found that there was nothing of value, which meant that he was very interested. Except for a bunch of tea leaves and tea sets, there was really nothing to use. Some people gave rouge gouache for women. , Li Kuan guessed that this should be a good thing that Hu Cao Shi did.
Except for the tea set and tea leaves, the rest were divided among the four Zhang Chong and the four Yangs. In addition, Li Kuan saw that the clothes on their mothers and daughters were dirty and had no spare clothes, so he negotiated for them to prepare a few sets of clothes to wear.
The Yang family's mother and daughter have no objection to the clothes, and they also feel that it is shameful to go out like this. As for Mrs. Yang of Rongguo, Li Kuan asked Li Kuan to help her prepare an incense hall for her daily Buddhist chanting. She did not want Li Kuan to pay for it, so she took off her jewelry and let Li Kuan exchange it for money. Li Kuan wanted to refuse, but Yang refused to accept it.
Li Kuan reluctantly agreed. He thought for a while and was unfamiliar with Jiangling City, and said, "Mrs. Rongguo, please let Ling Ai take me to Jiangling City!"
Yang nodded with a smile, and called his daughter, saying: "Liu'er, you accompany the palace down!"
"Yes, mother!"
Wu Suo nodded respectfully and looked at Li Kuan with a playful smile. She didn't expect that the king of Chu in front of her was not familiar with Jiangling City, but she was naturally familiar with Jiangling City after being in Jiangling City for several years. Her temperament was different from that of her sister. Just like a boy, her father never criticized her, which made her relatively wild. It can be said that there is no place in Jiangling City that she does not know.
"His Royal Highness, where are you going?"
"After going out, call my son like them!" Li Kuan reminded him, and then said: "Go to the cloth house first!"
Wu Hui stared for a moment, and thought: "He really bought cloth and clothes for our mother and us!" In addition to shock and a touch of touch, Pingshui met their mother and daughter in this way, Wu Hui quickly told the destination, and Li Kuan Take a carriage to the cloth village, and walk in casually.
"Guardian, what kind of cloth do you want to buy? Our shop has raw silk, linen, brocade and other fabrics!" The guy said enthusiastically about the fabrics in the store, and introduced each style in detail, which embarrassed Li Kuan. , I really don’t understand the people’s clothing.
Winter is about to enter, spring and summer fabrics are all acceptable, but these clothes are probably unbearable to wear in winter, hesitated for a moment and said: "Are there fur clothes?"
"This..." The guy was stunned for an instant, and he kept talking. You must know that fur clothes can only be worn by officials of Grade 4 or above. The civilians are not allowed to wear fur clothes. Li Kuan did not understand this. When he said the words, he saw the embarrassment of the buddy, and then looked at the shopkeeper who was on the sidelines.

Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper hurried forward and whispered: "The guest officer wants to buy fur clothes?" Li Kuan nodded, and then he heard him quietly say: "The guest officer doesn't know anything about it. Only officials of Grade 4 or above can wear fur clothes. You Is it not an official who wants to buy fur clothes?"
"you can say so!"
Li Kuan saw that he meant it should be sold, so he admitted that he was a member of the official family. The shopkeeper observed for a long time, and took him to the inner hall with a cruel heart. When Li Kuan looked up, he saw fur clothes made of various animal skins. In fact, the shopkeeper is forced to do so. Winter is coming. If you don't sell some fur clothes, you can't survive. If you don't do too much, it will hardly be supervised.
Li Kuan himself didn't need to buy these fur garments. Before he left the capital, Taizong Li Shimin had already prepared everything, so naturally there was no need to worry about these. Besides, there is a large amount of charcoal stored in the warehouse of the mansion, as well as a stove and other winter items.
Wu Jue's eyes were straight. She remembered that only her father and brother could wear fur clothes. Every winter, there was no other way to keep warm except for the fire. Every time it was cold and shivering, the sisters had to sleep together to keep warm. What Li Kuan did today caused ripples in her heart, and her eyes changed when she looked at Li Kuan.
