In the afternoon, the fleet docked at Tianjin Wei, and Yuzhu and Sun Chengsi disembarked side by side.
At this time, I saw a military attache in uniform, running over quickly. He bowed his waist and tied Qianqian from a distance of ten feet, and said respectfully: "The young one is Geshiha from the Tianjin Guards House. How dare you?"
When I ask you, Mr. Yu, is it in person?"
The chief steward Hu Biao stepped forward, raised his chin, and said arrogantly: "This is my second master, what do you want?"
"Oh my, it's really Mr. Yu who's in front of me. I'm so young that I can't see Mount Tai, so I almost missed the real Buddha." This Goshiha is very good at talking, and his posture is very low. At first glance, he is full of confusion.
There are clever ghosts with news all over it.
"This gentleman, my garrison master, is an old subordinate of Long Shuai. I heard that Second Master Yu went south via Tianjin Wei, and my garrison master has been waiting on the dock for three days." Nagoshha pretended to just remember it.
, slapped his forehead fiercely, and complained to himself again and again, "Young man is such a pig-brained person. Please stay here for a moment, and I will go and ask my guard to come over."
Nagoshha ran away in a flash, and in a short time, he led a military attache wearing a fifth-grade official uniform and ran over panting.
"I am guarding Xiao Weihan from the Tianjin Guards. I would like to ask Mr. Yu to be in peace." Xiao Weihan respectfully greeted him with a thousand greetings.
Yuzhu didn't know Xiao Weihan, but when he heard the name "Qiao Xia", he understood in his heart.
Longkodo's full official title is Commander of the Third Patrol Battalion of the Nine Gate Infantry. His subordinates generally call him Lord Titai, and only his close and old subordinates are qualified to call him Longshuai.
Objectively speaking, not all of Longkodo's subordinates are qualified to call themselves "Piaoxia". Only the confidant generals who were born in the Tibiao Guards Camp can call themselves "Qiaoxia".
Xiao Weihan's command was tantamount to telling Yuzhu that he was once Longkodo's personal military attache and could be regarded as one of his own.
Yuzhu thought for a moment and realized that Long Keduo must have sent a letter to his old subordinate. Otherwise, how did Xiao Weihan know that he was at Tianjin Guard today?
No matter how greedy, shameless or cruel Longkodo is, he still has true love for Yuzhu!
Seeing Xiao Weihan's respectful attitude, Sun Chengsi, who was standing aside, drooled with envy.
The Tong family, with disciples and former officials all over the world, is truly a wealthy family. The so-called Sun family, a first-class baron, is too far behind!
Don't hit the smiling person with your hand.
Since Xiao Weihan was a good person, Yuzhu could not hurt his face, so he smiled and said: "Xiao Shoubei is too polite, the student is just passing by Tianjin Wei, and just wants to take a walk around the city with his friends.
"
Xiao Weihan understood immediately. He bowed and said, "Second Master, if that's the case, how about I send a boy who is familiar with the city to act as a guide and follow you around for a while?"
This proposal was very good, and Yuzhu readily agreed.
It's a coincidence that the guide Xiao Weihan arranged was the same Geshiha just now.
Na Geshiha is a typical Jilai familiar. He bent his waist and introduced himself: "My surname is Zhang and my nickname is Sixth Brother. Mr. Yu, you are a noble person. You definitely can't call me by the same name as ordinary people, so I call you Xiao."
Just Zhang."
Brother Zhang Liu, with a name like this, you are taking advantage of others!
Well, Xiao Zhang is very suitable, suitable for all ages, and won't make Yu Zhu feel embarrassed.
Sun Chengsi loved to play, so he smiled and asked Brother Zhang Liu: "Xiao Zhang, is there a fun place to play in Weili, Tianjin?"
The way Sun Chengsi was dressed gave off an aura of wealth and wealth. Brother Zhang Liu had an extraordinary eye, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir, Tianjin Wei is just a small town, far worse than Sijiu City. This kind of inconspicuous little place, with a little bit of unique fun, is the storytelling "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Wang Hongxing talked about in the teahouse."
Brother Zhang Liu is really smart. Even though Sun Chengsi didn't know what to say, he actually guessed that Sun Chengsi wanted to join in the fun and listen to Kun Opera or Xianzi Shu.
The Tianjin Guard at this time was really too small, and it was far from the blossoming Tianjin Mansion where the Beiyang ministers were stationed after the Opium War.
"Lead the way, I want to hear what Wang Hongxing said about storytelling. What are its characteristics?"
The Sun brothers all love to play, and the baron's palace has always maintained a Kunqu opera troupe. Sun Chengsi likes to listen to Kunqu opera and Xianzi Shu, so he naturally wants to join in the fun of storytelling, a new art.
Yuzhu has no artistic talent at all. He just accompanied Sun Chengsi to visit Tianjin Wei for fun.
Teahouses in this era were actually social places suitable for people of all levels.
There are many types of teahouses. There are pure teahouses for merchants to discuss business, "Erhunpu" for drinking tea and tasting food, there are book teahouses for storytelling and performing classical arts, and there are teahouses that combine the advantages of various teahouses and can accommodate all kinds of religions. There are large teahouses and wild teahouses for literati to hold pen meetings and tourists to enjoy the scenery.
In the teahouse, there are not only porters and traders, but also big businessmen and big bosses, as well as singers, entertainers, and Eight Banners disciples who carry cages and frame birds.
Under the guidance of Xiao Zhang, Yuzhu and Sun Chengsi were led into the largest teahouse in Tianjin Wei. Guests come to the teahouse again.
Although Xiao Zhang is Goshiha of the garrison, he is also the ninth-rank foreign affairs chief and a serious local snake in Tianjin.
Under Xiao Zhang's guidance, Yu Zhu and Sun Chengsi were quickly invited into the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.
Yuzhu likes Biluochun, and Sun Chengsi likes to drink Longjing. Moreover, Sun Chengsi likes to drink tea and crack melon seeds at the same time.
Soon, two cups of tea, a few snacks, a plate of watermelon seeds and a plate of sunflower seeds were placed on the table.
Yuzhu picked up the tea cup, used the lid to gently skim off the tea foam on the edge of the cup, and took a sip, yes, fake Biluochun.
You know, the Biluochun that Yuzhu drank was a royal tribute from Concubine Tong in the palace. More than 90% of the so-called Biluochun in this teahouse is fake.
However, Yuzhu didn't intend to lose his temper over such a trivial matter.
As the saying goes, it is rare to be confused. How can we achieve great things if we are true to everything?
In a small place like Tianjin Wei, it is impossible to have good tea in the first place. Just turn a blind eye and let it go.
Sun Chengsi drank a few sips of Longjing tea, but he didn't notice anything wrong. Yuzhu thought, maybe the Longjing tea he drank was also a fake, right?
Han Shuang stayed on the boat to look after the house, and Lin Yan'er followed to serve Yu Zhu. Coincidentally, Zi Yuan was standing behind Sun Chengsi, and she was quietly making faces at Lin Yan'er.
Lin Yan'er couldn't help but feel her scalp numb, and she was scared to death.
She has no control over whether the Sun family has any rules. However, the Tong family has very strict rules.
The slaves of the Tong family made mistakes, and they were slapped on the hand at the least and spanked at the bottom. If they made a big mistake, they would be punished with a cane.
Yuzhu is a gentle-tempered master. However, this does not mean that he is a master without a bottom line of principles.
If there are no rules, there will be no circle. If the servants and slaves don't have any rules, won't they be in chaos?
In fact, Yu Zhu had already seen Zi Yuan making a face. However, it was not his turn to take care of other people's housework, and he didn't want to.
Even if Sun Chengsi doted on Zi Yuan to heaven, he still had nothing to do with Yu Zhu, so he just pretended not to see it.
In the middle of the first floor of the teahouse, a high platform was set up, which was roughly similar to the setting where later generations of Guo Degang performed cross talk.
