"Choi Jin-hyung? Not impressed. Du Yunqi shook his head, but Du Yunxun casually talked about this person's experience, "Taizheng entered the office for ten years, starting from the county, five years ago he was promoted to the county order of Chongxin County, Lezhou, and returned to Beijing for two years to report on his work, and he was looking forward to returning to Chongxin County to continue his term, but he seems to have offended the former minister's servant, so since then, he has been idle at home. ”

It is said that after being suppressed and idle for two years, shouldn't you be humble and low-key when you come to visit the Du family?

How could it be...

Du Yunqi didn't understand what Master Cui thought, how long had his wife been dead! He was serious about his parents-in-law's visit, and he had never put up a score, and he didn't know that the horn came out, so he was self-righteous and put up the work of the Du Mansion's quasi-in-laws?

Not to mention that Du Yunqi didn't understand what he thought, no one in the Du family understood what this one was thinking, Fan Anyang heard that such a strange person came to the house, and he couldn't help but send Ruixiang to take a sneak look.

He Zhang's family was holding a post, and said with some hesitation, "It won't be Lord Cui Jinheng, right?" ”

"Huh? Sister-in-law He, how do you know? ”

"Hey, you see, the post sent by Ding Shiyi's cousin and grandmother, this is what I said."

Fan Anyang took it and took a look, it turned out to be a post sent by Ding Xiaole.

"The cousin girl of the Ding family and the cousin girl of the Wang family have always just sent someone to say it, but this time they are quite cautious." Mo Xiang said without raising his head while settling accounts.

Zhu Xiang was annoyed, and snorted coldly, "Aunt Eleventh is taking care of our second young grandmother!" I actually want to ask you to authenticate a painting that she bought for her second sister-in-law's sister-in-law. ”

Naturally, there are people who specialize in this, although the second young grandmother is a disciple of Yan Da painter, but she is a boudoir woman, if relatives help each other, it will be okay! As soon as you open your mouth, it is this kind of turning pro. Relatives who had never even heard of it before sent a post like this, asking the second young grandmother to help them identify the paintings they bought, and they didn't say hello beforehand.

He Zhang's family shook their heads, "I'm afraid that Aunt Eleventh is speechless, so I specially sent the post." Otherwise. Usually their sisters bring their children to play, when do they need to send a prayer post first? ”

Fan Anyang also nodded when he heard this, "I'm afraid it's Lele's cousin's sister-in-law...... Directly brought the eldest girl of the Cui family to the door, Cousin Lele and her sister-in-law looked up and didn't look down, so it was not good to refuse her directly, so I asked people to send me a prayer post. ”

"The end of the year is approaching. There are a lot of things going on at home, so it's hard for you to make this example. ”

Fan Anyang nodded. She didn't eat this line of food, and she couldn't offend people, so since they wanted to find someone to appraise them, they could spend money to pay for an offering in the pawnshop. Or is it a specialist in a well-known art studio who comes to appraise the paintings, what do you want her to do? Even if she saw that it was an imitation painting, could she open an appraisal in her own name? It's no wonder that the elders in the family don't scold.

Again. She is good at painting, not appreciating paintings.

"I'll write a reply to Cousin Lele. Let people send the post over for a while. ”

A little later, Ding Xiaole received a reply from Fan Anyang, in which he politely refused her request to ask someone to bring a painting to her for appraisal, and said that she was only a shallow learner, although she could draw a few strokes, but to identify the painting, she really didn't have that ability, if it was just a simple walk between relatives, she was very welcome, but recently the family affairs were busy, and she had to help her deceased sister-in-law take two children.

Ding Xiaole looked at it and smiled, "Look! I just said, Ah Zhao is a smart person, I can definitely see that I didn't mean to cause trouble for her, hey, with her letter! Even the third sister-in-law went to her mother-in-law, and I also had something to block her back. ”

"The third young grandmother is too big, I know that you are the cousin of Du Ershao's grandmother, and I haven't asked if people are happy or not, so I took care of everything."

This third sister-in-law has always been like this, and after the other sisters-in-law knew that Fan Anyang was her cousin, they just coaxed her to go to Ruyi Embroidery Village with them, and asked the store to buy things to be cheaper.

But I didn't expect that as soon as her third sister-in-law made a move, it was this kind of ruthless trick, asking the second young grandmother of the dignified prime minister to appraise a painting bought by her sister-in-law's family, and she had written as politely as possible on her post, in fact, her good third sister-in-law's tone was like calling her own subordinates.

She is a sister-in-law, and it makes sense to call her a younger sister, but when it comes to her cousin, her third sister-in-law is not sick, right?

Originally, I thought that marrying into the Kang family would fall into the nest of blessings, but I didn't expect to meet such a concubine, which is really enough.

Master Cui sat at Du's house for an afternoon, and he couldn't see Du Yunqi, originally! He is not a relative or friend, why is he coming to the door for the first time, and you can see whoever you want to see?

Du Yunqi was widowed, so he sent his wife back to his hometown for burial, and he is still recuperating! Guests who come to visit will not see anyone in ten times.

Master Cui is not a good driller, otherwise he would not have offended the former servant of the ministry, and he has not been able to fill the gap for two consecutive years, and some clever people have already found others to dredge, and leave Beijing as soon as possible, saving him from dangling in front of the former waiter, reminding others to continue to press him.

After returning home, Mrs. Cui greeted her excitedly and asked, "How's that?" How is it? Are you worthy of our eldest sister? ”

"I sat down all afternoon, poured a belly of tea, but I didn't see anyone, not even the guests next to me. It's still a dignified house! These subordinates really don't entertain guests. ”

If the disciples and stewards of the Du family knew about Lord Cui's comment, they would definitely cry to death.

Who asked you to send a prospective father-in-law to examine the prospective son-in-law's style as soon as you came up! In the final analysis, the Du family from Du Xiang's father and son to Du Yunqi, the official ranks of the three are higher than that of Master Cui, he said that he was going to meet Du Xiang, and when he arrived at Du Mansion, he asked to see Du Yunqi arrogantly, and that stupid person would obediently invite the eldest young master to meet this kind of guest?

The chief manager is afraid that this person is a mallet, he has delusions, and he can't hinder others, they won't care, but they come to Du Mansion and talk nonsense, if people misunderstand that the bones of the eldest young grandmother are not cold, the eldest young master is already going to marry the Cui family as a continuation, will it not ruin the reputation of the eldest young master of his family.

Therefore. Chief Du would rather have the other halls of hospitality crowded than let people go to the place where Master Cui stayed.

When Lord Cui entered the door, he saw people coming and going in the hall, but he was the only one sitting in the hall, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that people treated him differently, so he naturally had to vomit bitterness with his wife when he got home.

"By the way, the second daughter-in-law didn't say. entrusted her sister. If you want to take that painting to Du Xiang's second granddaughter-in-law, how about it, when will you bring it over? ”

"Whew. Not to mention, the second daughter-in-law's sister is too big, she has never been to Du Mansion herself! In this way, I recklessly sent a post, saying that I wanted to ask someone to help us identify the paintings. If you want you, do you do it? ”

I thought it would be a two-pronged approach. There is a door to Du's house, but I didn't expect that there was no window!

"So, let's leave it at that?"

"Forget it! Don't want to climb up to Du Mansion, people are Du Mansion after all. It's a matter of course to look down on us. Mrs. Cui sighed heavily, and Master Cui held his wife's back and said apologetically: "It's all my fault." Don't be angry, let you and your daughter have to be angry like this. ”

When the Choi couple comforted each other. Du Xiang was listening to Mr. Du's report on today's guests, and when it came to Cui Jinheng, Du Xiang couldn't help but snort, "Why did he come to the door?" Fill in the gaps? ”

"Yes." To put it bluntly, the son of the former servant fell in love with the eldest girl of the Cui family and wanted to ask to marry, but Master Cui suspected that the family was unlearned, he was sixteen years old, and he was still a child, and he refused to give his daughter to such a promising offspring.

This marriage has always been consensual, and the former waiter is not so stingy and narrow, but Lord Cui refused to marry, but he said it too bluntly, and he still said it loudly in the official hall, so that people can't get off the stage directly, and he doesn't need the waiter to wear small shoes for him to stumble, and the people who have his own flattering squire pressure him to not let him fill the vacancy.

"Where's the supplement?"

"In Meizhou, not far from the eldest young master's office, there is Mi County in between." Chief Du Da thought for a moment and said.

Du Xiang pondered for a moment, "I know, tomorrow I will talk to the officials and move him farther away, although it is said that Zishou still wants to marry a stepfamily, but I don't want to be in-laws with Cui Banggavel, it is enough to have a family like the Gao family, and then another family, I'm afraid that my old bones can't withstand the toss." ”

Fan Anyang took the two children to eat, Du Yunxun went to accompany his brother to eat, Du Yunqi's luggage was almost ready, but he was reluctant to have two children, but asked him to be a big man with two children to take office, not to mention that the elders were not at ease, even he himself was not at ease, he was afraid that he would be busy and only take care of business, forget the children, and let the children be neglected by his subordinates.

He was even more afraid that the affairs of his wife and Grandma Liu would reappear in the children, leaving them in Beijing, in addition to the younger brother and his wife to help watch, and his aunt and grandmother came to take care of them from time to time, as for his grandfather and father, he didn't expect them to help him take care of the children.

"There are many people who have the same mind as Master Cui, I'm afraid there are a lot, big brother has to be careful, don't be negligent for a while, and force you to marry again at that time."

During the banquet, Du Yunxun reminded his brother, Du Yunqi smiled and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "I know, don't forget, I'm your eldest brother!" I can't always let you two take care of my big brother! ”

Well, then don't always worry about it out of tune!

The two brothers chatted for a while before they dispersed.

The next day, Du Yunqi set off for Meizhou to take office, and when the Cui family knew, Du Yunqi's boat had already passed through Kizhou.

At this time, the other two, like Lord Cui, were going to Meizhou to serve as the county commander, and they all received an order from the ministry, "Huh? Why is it different from what I said before? ”

"Isn't this Xiangzi County the place of Lord Cui? Why did it change to me? ”

"Huh? I've also changed places. ”

Originally, these three county orders were not from Mi County to the west were Xiangzi County, Rong'an County and Xiujiang County, and now they are replaced, the original Rong'an County Commander Jin Daren was transferred to Xiangzi County, Ren Xiujiang County's Huang Daren was transferred to Rong'an County, and Cui Daren went to Xiujiang County in the west, Xiangzi County is Shang County, Rong'an County is also Shang County, Xiujiang County is Zhong County, and the population and taxes are the last of the three counties.

Lord Jin is equivalent to a flat tune, which is no different for him, but for Lord Huang and Lord Cui, it is very different, transferred from Zhongxian to Shangxian to be the county order, and Lord Huang is happy.

"I'm afraid that Master Cui will not accept it, right?"

"What is he not convinced? It was just a county order in the lower county, and he waited for two years to wait for a vacancy, which shows that his cumulative effect is not very good, and he jumped above you and me all of a sudden, not to mention me, there are many people in the capital who are not convinced by him! ”

Lord Jin and Lord Huang lived close to each other, and after receiving the order, they set off to take office.

Master Cui didn't wait for the dispatch order for a long time, and the young master Cui learned from a friend that Du Yunqi, Lord Jin, and Lord Huang had all left Beijing to take up their posts, why hadn't his father received the dispatch order yet?

Only then did Master Cui go to the official hall of the Ministry of Officials to ask, and the junior officials of the Ministry of Officials had a haha with him before giving him the order.

"I'm so sorry! Master Cui, when I went to deliver the dispatch order that day, it happened that you were not there, and we still had business to do, so we didn't dare to delay, so I forgot your dispatch order in this hurry, I'm really sorry! ”

Lord Choi is angry! But he couldn't get angry at these petty officials, so he could only endure his anger and go home, hand over the problematic painting to his second daughter-in-law, and ask her to find an opportunity to ask Fan Anyang to help identify it, so she hurriedly set off with his wife and daughter.

It wasn't until he was about to arrive in Meizhou that Master Cui found out, what about the county order that he had promised? How did it become a county order in Zhongxian? (To be continued)
