Zhao Guanren once thought that Yu Niang was being scheming and was afraid that the new maids would compete with her for favor, so he bought six local fat balls to disgust him. But when the neighbors came to congratulate him, he realized that it turned out that Dashun was just like the Tang Dynasty.
Fat is beautiful.
A fat person represents a wealthy family and good fertility, while a thin person represents poverty and lack of prosperity. Therefore, Miss Bian is so skinny that she cannot get married even in her twenties. People with a good family look down on her, and she looks down on someone who is not good.
If you don't get it, you'll have to endure it and become an old girl.
"Damn it! How much does it cost to be so fat and eat me? I raise six fat little pigs..."
Zhao Guanren sat in the atrium full of complaints, while six chubby girls were busy running around, cleaning inside and outside and preparing for the dinner.
The two cooks also bought it back. The front and rear gates were handed over to two old couples, and a professional cook was invited to prepare a dinner. After this, more than three hundred taels of silver were lost.
"Master! I heard that you invited the magistrate..."
Yu Niang ran over panting, as if she had become a little housekeeper, and she echoed: "We, the magistrate of Lantai County, call Song Chizhu. He is not a good person. Even the Bian family is afraid of him. If he comes to you,
There must be a big gift, and he has to sleep with someone!"
"Sleeper?"
Zhao Guanren said in astonishment: "Whoever he wants to sleep with, he won't sleep with me. What does Song mean by eating pigs?"
"You just 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 wherever he wants. You are not allowed to arrange a girl to sleep with him. If you don't satisfy him, he will come to trouble the next day. I think he will definitely pick on Ling."
Sister Er, Sister Ling'er is so plump and beautiful!"
"Uh~"
Zhao Guanren looked at the fat women who were like small tanks and said stiffly: "Girl! What does plump mean? It means fat in the places that should be fat. There is only a little flesh in the places that should not be fat. It is as thick as this all over the body.
My girl is like a bucket turned into sperm!"
"Pfft~"
Yu Niang covered her mouth and burst out laughing, lying in his ear and said: "The slave family knows how happy the young master is. For example, the nanny who was the doorkeeper before. I think the young master's saliva is almost drooling. I will go find a matchmaker tomorrow.
, give the young master two rooms and a concubine!"
"don't want!"
Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "What kind of concubine are you taking? Just buy two decent maids!"
"No! The young master is fooling around with his servants, good or bad..."
Yuniang said: "I am your maid, you can only fool around with me, no! You can only let me sleep with you. If you have a child, you will drown to death. The rules of a wealthy family are very strict. If you miss something, you will be punished."
Pointing fingers may even affect your career!"
"Okay, okay! I'll fool around with you tonight, go get busy..."
Zhao Guanren quickly slapped her on the butt, and Yu Niang left happily. But what she said was absolutely right. The ancients paid special attention to the inferiority of the old and the young. There were a lot of rules and regulations, which made him a modern person.
life.
"Master Zhang! Magistrate Song is here in person. Come out to greet him quickly..."
The chief clerk of the Yamen ran in quickly. Dashun Chao had dinner at around four o'clock in the afternoon. It was normal for guests to come in after three o'clock.
"Brother Liu! What are you in a hurry for..."
Zhao Guanren stood up unhurriedly, put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Although my two brothers are gone, they have old friends from all over the world to look after me. The older officials are not big, but they can control some things, so I
Respecting you means treating you as a friend, respecting him... Let’s see!”
"Oh, your heartfelt words are like boiling water in my heart..."
Master Liu held his hand and was excited for a while, and said: "Brother! We should respect what we should respect. Mr. Song is the nephew of Mr. Zhou, the minister of household affairs, and Mr. Zhou is the nephew of the minister of the Ministry of official affairs. This kid
This person is the second grade of Zheng, a close minister of the emperor!"
"I know! Otherwise, why would I invite him over..."
Zhao Guanren pretended to be forced and walked out.
, I saw a group of government servants when I went out. Men in the Dashun Dynasty usually rode horses, even civil servants. It was rare to see men sitting in sedan chairs, but Song Shizhu may be too fat, and the four sedan bearers were full.
Head sweating profusely.
"Good boy! The whole county government is here..."
Zhao Guanren stood on the steps with his hands behind his back. Master Liu said with a smile: "Normally Mr. Song will not come to dinner, but your eldest brother is the famous Zhang Tianbao, so he must give him this face. The two people behind him are Hu County Cheng
As well as Li Dianshi, Hu County Cheng’s background is not small!”
"Your great presence, my lords, really brings glory to this humble abode..."
Zhao Guanren stood on the steps and held up his hands. Yu Niang and her servants hurriedly came out to welcome him. They bowed their heads and stood on both sides in a polite manner. However, according to the rules, Zhao Guanren had to go down to greet him. There was still a lot of etiquette to say. Master Liu was anxious.
Breaking into a cold sweat.
"Master Zhang! I have long admired your name..."
Hu Xian Cheng jumped off his horse happily, put on a green official robe, and had something embroidered with silver thread on his chest.
This is the first time Zhao Guanren has seen Dashun officials. Dashun official robes look similar to those of the Ming Dynasty. There are two small wings on the back of the official hat. However, the government officials are all dressed up and smart, and no one wears obstructive robes.
They were all dressed in black with red edges and a patch with the word "ya" on their chest.
"Mr. Zhang! You are so arrogant..."
There was a strange sound in the sedan chair, but Zhao Guanren put his hands behind his back and said: "Sir Song! I am very cold at a high place. Standing high may not necessarily make you stable. Sitting low can make you feel stable. Master Zhao asked me to bring you a
In other words, you must sit tight!"
"Which Mr. Zhao?"
The sedan curtain was suddenly opened, and it turned out to be a fat man with a white face. The red official uniform was almost bursting with his fat body.
"You know what you know, why bother asking..."
Zhao Guanren finally walked to the sedan, bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "I heard that the supervisor is coming back soon. I have two pieces of news, good and bad, to bring you. I won't reveal the secret in advance, but there is something that is closely related to you. I think it must be
The adults must be very interested!"
"Oh? Tell me..."
Song Chizhu looked him up and down, and Zhao Guanren got closer and said: "Many people care about you silently, caring about every detail. For example, the beauty flowers you have picked are ninety-seven. If you add three more, you can make it up."
It's all over, just a hundred people killed!"
"You, how did you know that I..."
Song Zhizhu was so frightened that he talked loudly. This is a person's greatest privacy, but it seems that he may have counted it for himself, and someone's unknown lover was also counted.
"My lord, don't be anxious!"
Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "You and I are fellow travelers. We are not enemies now and we will not be in the future. Today I invite you to come to the house to have a chat. It is just to make you familiar. I won't talk about business, I will only talk about romance, eating, drinking and having fun!"
"
"Okay, okay! The Zhang family is full of loyal people, which is really a blessing for me..."
Song Chizhu came down and helped him up with his own hands, and even grabbed him hard on the arm. Zhao Guanren invited him in humbly. It seems that no matter ancient or modern, this officialdom has not changed much, even the doorways are exactly the same.
"Fire the cannon! Welcome your Excellency into the mansion..."
Yu Niang gave an angry shout, and the two concierges quickly lit the firecrackers, and quickly led their wives to beat the gongs and drums. Zhao Guanren shouted: "Sing the salute! Sing the salutes of all the adults loudly for everyone to hear.
The people in the city are happy for us!"
"Uh~"
Master Song and others' expressions all froze. They were given the greatest honor by being able to come. They had to fall asleep while eating and holding, so there was no reason to put money in there.
"Hmm~ That..."
Mr. Song looked at Mr. Liu awkwardly and said, "Mr. Liu, go and see if my courtesy has arrived. You can't go the wrong way and make people laugh!"
"I understand the humble position!"
Chief Liu was so smart that he quickly called a few people to go and buy things on the spot. Zhao Guanren led a group of people straight into the inner palace. People from all over the neighborhood came to eat at the big houses, but as soon as the flatterers heard that the county magistrate followed the courtesy, then
Naturally, I dare not give less gift money.
"Come! Master Song, please take a seat..."
Zhao Guanren's "arrogance at first and respect at the end" confused Mr. Song. After sitting down, he smiled like a fool. Hu Xian Cheng was also confused. He didn't know what he said to Mr. Song, so he could only join in the stupidity.
, for fear of accidentally stepping on thunder.
"This is wrong..."
A government official sat at a table in the corner and said confusedly: "I saw the third young master of the Zhang family. When he came to collect his second brother's pension, I happened to show him the way. He is about the same age, but he doesn't look like this!"
"You must have drunk too much. Isn't that the old lady of the Zhang family? She can still mistake her son..."
The colleagues were all dismissive, and just then Zhao Guanren led Yu Niang over. First, he toasted them collectively a glass of wine, and then sent them a big red envelope one by one. They got to know each other in a jolly way, and then moved on to another battle.
A table.
"Gold leaves!"
The officials' eyes suddenly widened. There were actually two gold leaves in each red envelope. Their two leaders also opened it quickly, but seven or eight pieces fell out. They were frightened and picked them up in a hurry.
Stuffed into his arms.
"My mother! Mr. Zhang is so generous. How rich he is..."
The yamen servants were all so excited that they were really ignorant. The gold leaf looked big, but one tael of gold could knock out more than a dozen pieces, which were as thin as paper. Together, they were more than thirty people.
The total value does not exceed fifty taels.
"Everyone! This Young Master Zhang is no ordinary person..."
The catcher said in a low voice: "Young Master Zhang is stubborn. He was sent to die only after he offended someone. The stupid second brother also wanted to avenge him, but he also lost his life. But this one is really powerful. Miss Bian even treated him badly."
With all due respect, if you look at our lord’s face, the girl won’t even dare to look at it!”
"Thanks to the Mansion! Mr. Xie is out! A pair of gold ingots, ten pieces of silk, and a sword..."
The old concierge shouted in a high voice, and all the wealthy gentry in the courtyard hurriedly stood up, only to see a strong middle-aged man walking in, followed by a white-faced young man who looked familiar to Mr. Song.
He bowed and left everyone else aside.
"Thank you, member! It's been a long time. Please come in and say..."
Zhao Guanren stood up with a smile. Xie Yuanwai laughed tacitly and followed him into the house very affectionately. Naturally, he was talking about the killer last night. He had sent someone to send a military steel knife before.
I just came here in person.
"Master Huang! How did you get the news? He and Lao Xie have known each other for a long time. How could you not know..."
Mr. Song slammed the table angrily, and the master said aggrievedly: "Sir! I told you earlier that he helped the Xie family cause trouble in the Bian family's shop. Miss Bian came forward in person, and they are also old acquaintances.
, but you didn’t care at the time!”
"I……"
Mr. Song was stuck in his mouth and couldn't curse, so he said impatiently: "Go find Mr. Liu and order him to add another batch of gifts. It's easy to see the king of hell, but it's hard to offend the kid. Don't capsize in the gutter!
"
Master Song was bleeding profusely tonight. He wanted to find out where Zhao Guanren came from, but he couldn't speak in front of all the guests. Besides, the others didn't take it seriously when they saw that he had given such a heavy gift.
People came to visit him one after another.
"Bian Mansion! Miss Bian has arrived. As a congratulatory gift, a pair of golden pigs, fifty pieces of silk, ten sword handles, a horse, ten pure gold lighters, ten boxes of special cigarettes, some pearls and agate..."
"Wow!"
The guests were in an uproar. Even Mr. Song was shocked by such a great gift. The Xie members who had just sat down sneered. Only Zhao Guanren stood alone in front of the door, looking at Bian Xianglan who was striding over, and said with a bad smile: "This
Finally, I didn’t lose any money and made a lot of money!”
