It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky.

Han Xiufeng and the three of them rushed to Shimen Shuiyi non-stop, and they were already sleepy and tired, and Pan Er's feet even walked out of two bullae. Fortunately, it is still under the rule of Chongqing Prefecture, and the letters of the old man are still effective. Yishu learned that the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, who was inherited by his government and military room, not only gave him an upper room, but also bought wine and meat to entertain him warmly, which made a thousand good people in Chongqing Town, who arrived here almost at the same time, envious.

Pan Er was also envious of Mr. Qian, who lived downstairs, eating wine, looking at the river view outside the window and asking, "Fourth brother, how many products does Mr. Qian have?" ”

Han Xiufeng put down his chopsticks and said absentmindedly: "From the sixth grade." ”

"Cong Liupin is a big official, why can't he live in the room, and let him live downstairs."

"Didn't I tell you before, whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, it is a noble and a lowly martial artist. Don't look at him from the sixth grade, but it's nothing out of the camp. It's good to give him a place to live, it's impossible to live in a house. ”

"But he has a survey, and he doesn't have to pay for the post station." The more Pan Er thought about it, the more envious he became, and he couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Fourth brother, your father-in-law is the manager of the military room, why don't you get a survey of the military department, if we also have a survey, I don't know how much entanglement we can save along the way." ”

The big head became smarter, and he said thoughtfully: "Yes, fourth brother, there is a letter from Duan Jingcheng, we can eat and live for nothing in Chongqing Mansion." When the letter from the Chongqing Prefecture Duan Jingcheng is out, it won't work, and then we will have to eat our own flowers, if there is what Pan Er said, we won't be able to eat all the way to the capital! ”

"It's a beautiful idea!" Han Xiufeng put down his chopsticks and explained: "The Ministry of War will issue some blank surveys to the provinces in advance every year, and the provinces can be temporarily filled in when encountering problems.

However, the Ministry of War will only give advance to the provincial generals, governors, governors, admirals, Zhentai, Dutong, Xuezheng, Yanzheng and other yamen, not even the Sichuan Dongdao Yamen, let alone the government office. Besides, even if it is sent to the prefect's yamen, such an important blank official document will not be placed in my father-in-law's hands, and at the end of the year, it will be summarized and sold, who would dare to fill it in for his own personal use. ”

Pan Er reacted and couldn't help but sigh: "This is what is often said about military affairs!" ”

"I just know," Han Xiufeng smiled, and continued: "I can't think of what you can think of, it's not that I don't want to take advantage of this, but I can't take advantage of it." ”

"Kui Guan, fourth brother, have you asked Ambassador Liu to write a letter?"

"I wanted to ask him to write it, if I really begged him, he would give him this face, but it was useless. The Yamen has the rules of the Yamen, he is just the ambassador of the Provincial Bureau, although he is in charge of the customs and silver, but he can't control the Kuiguan, if he takes his letter, the tax officer of the Kuiguan will feel that he stretches his hand too long, not only will not give him face, but will overcharge our taxes. ”

"Fourth brother, you still think about it thoroughly, when I didn't say it."

……

The three of them were chatting, and Mr. Qian, who lived downstairs, ran upstairs, knocked on the door and shouted, "Brother inside, can you open the door and see?" ”

"Here we are." Han Xiufeng stood up and motioned for the big head to open the door.

Mr. Qian walked into the house with the handle of the knife, looked at Han Xiufeng with a smile and asked, "Brother, your surname, have we seen it anywhere, anyway, it looks familiar." ”

The military attaché is not only cheap but also poor, especially the military attache of the green battalion.

Although the person who just came in called people as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't look very old, and the top of the sixth grade may be just a false title, not to mention eating empty salaries like him, maybe he may not even be qualified to eat soldier blood. How could Han Xiufeng not know that he wanted to eat and drink, so he simply beckoned him to sit down, and said with a smile while letting Pan Er help pour the wine: "In Xiafu, your surname is Han, the word Zhixing, and he is from Ba County." If the eldest brother is working in the town office, he should have seen it, because he has transcribed several official documents to the town office. ”

"I said why is it so familiar, I have really seen it." The young Mr. Qian picked up the wine and said with a smile: "Brother Han, I am a rough person and can't speak, but today I really have to learn from you scholars to chew words." You are from Ba County, and you have also transcribed official documents to our town office, and I happen to be working under the command of Zhentai again, so we are old acquaintances in another country! ”

Han Xiufeng secretly laughed at how far away from Ba County was this, and it was not a foreign country, but he still held the wine bowl and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, I meet my old acquaintance in another country, big brother, I respect you!" ”

"What are you, if you meet by fate, you are brothers, my surname is Du, I am the third oldest in the family, I should be a few years older than my brother, just call me the third brother."

"Okay, third brother."

"Come, let's go!"

No matter how cheap the military attache is, he is also an official, Pan Er didn't dare to sit anymore, and he ate almost enough, so he quickly got up and pulled his big head into the corner, watching Han Xiufeng and Du Qian always eat and chat.

After a few bowls of wine and a few mouthfuls of meat, Du Qian asked curiously: "Brother Han, where are you going?" ”

"Go to the capital to fill the vacancy."

"Make up for the gap, this is a big deal, come on, come on, brother will give you another bowl, I wish you to fill the gap as soon as possible."

"Third Brother Xie."

When you go out, you will make a mistake if you drink too much.

Han Xiufeng didn't drink it all, just tasted it, and asked curiously: "Third brother, where are you going on business?" ”

"Coincidentally, I also went to the capital to fill the vacancy, but brother, you are going to the Ministry of Officials, and I am going to the Ministry of War." Mr. Du Qian put down the wine bowl and said with an embarrassed face: "I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes, I'm a martial artist, if I put aside the Yongzheng Dynasty and the Qianlong Dynasty, even if I fall down, I can choose a door Qianzong and Wei Qianzong." But now, no more than in the early years, there is no shortage of people like me who choose the third class. Fortunately, there is an uncle who is an official in Chongqing Town, and he can return to his hometown to study and operate with the camp according to the routine. Now that the three-year period has expired, I scraped together some money to manage Zhentai and buy a guarantee to send it to the Ministry of War for supplementation. ”

Although Wuju people are not as noble as Ren He, they are the same as the masters, Pan Er was taken aback, and he was immediately in awe.

Han Xiufeng didn't think that the person in front of him was so noble, and even felt that he, a martial artist, might have spent money to get in, because no matter how he looked, he didn't look like a master who could shoot horses, shoot on foot, and dig stones, let alone lead soldiers into battle with real swords and real spears to kill the enemy.

But then again, Sichuan people are not as strong as northerners, he is relatively tall and physically strong among Sichuan people, no matter whether he spends money or not, it is not easy to be admitted to the martial arts people, after all, it is rare for a burly man like a big head to be in Sichuan.

"It turns out that the third brother is a Wuju person, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

"Brother Han, you are a joke brother, the Qing Dynasty is noble and martial, my martial arts is a hammer in front of your civil officials!"

"Brother doesn't need to be arrogant, don't hide it, the younger brother is an official who donated money."

"That's better than me, don't say anything else, just say those turtle sons downstairs, really fucking dogs look down on people. Seeing that Brother Han was a civil official, he immediately cleaned up and went to the house, serving good wine and food. But brother, I can only live in a kennel, and I have to pay for what I want to eat and drink! ”
