Chapter 121: The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys
Pan Er's ambitions are impressive.
However, thinking of his reputation in his hometown and the things in his family, Han Xiufeng suddenly found that it was indeed difficult to turn over in his life except for donating an official to do it. And this is a good thing, at least in the future, you don't have to guard against him like a thief, after all, he is not interested in making money but learning how to be an official.
The more Han Xiufeng thought about it, the funnier it became, and he couldn't help but quip: "Brother Pan, your family is rich, if you want to donate in the future, you will donate a bigger official, how can you donate a seven-grade county, as long as you can make up for the vacancy, you will be the county master, the county master is so majestic, do you say yes." ”
"Fourth brother, I'...... I want to fight for breath, I want to get ahead, but I don't want to care about my father asking for money anymore, and I don't want to bow to Changxi. ”
"How can I donate if I don't have money?"
"Didn't your uncle owe my father two thousand taels, and when you have enough money to pay me back with interest, I will take this silver to donate to the official. Fourth brother, I think about it, don't go back if you don't mix it up! ”
Seeing that he was very serious and serious, Han Xiufeng realized that he was very determined, and couldn't help but smile: "It's okay to use the money that my uncle owes your father as a book, but counting the interest is not enough to donate to Qipinzhi County, and this is only the silver donated to the official, you have to count the silver that makes up for the shortage." ”
Pan Er didn't think about donating such a big official, and he didn't think that he had the ability to be a county magistrate, so he smiled and said: "Fourth brother, I don't donate so much, I'll learn how to be an official with you first, and when I have the silver, when I have almost learned the ability to be an official, donate a small one like you, even if I donate a classic history that doesn't go into the stream." ”
"It's not good to be ambitious, Brother Pan, you are really an official!"
……
Talking and laughing, Han Xiufeng's mood was much better.
Back to the hall, let the big head hurry up to make lunch, after eating lunch to go to the east wing room to change into official clothes, change into official clothes and drink tea for a while, and the carriage hired on the way back in the morning arrived.
Pan Er put on a new suit and put the brocade box he had just bought yesterday into the car, Han Xiufeng told the big head to watch the door, and strode out of the yard and into the carriage. The ambitious Pan Er turned into a long-term follower, and trotted all the way with the carriage until he reached the mouth of an unnamed alley.
"Master Han, it's here." The groom took the horse and shouted.
"Changsheng, go."
"Okay." Pan Er lifted the curtain, took the brocade box, and ran into the alley.
The children of the Wen family in Luzhou are very easy to find in the rented yard, because they can smell the faint aroma of wine at the mouth of the alley, he ran to the door of a small courtyard in one breath, sniffed and confirmed that the aroma of wine is stronger, it should be this one, and shouted: "Is there anyone, is the Wen shopkeeper at home?" ”
It was cold outside, but the house was as warm as spring, Wen Youyu and his two sons sat around the fire, drinking home-brewed wine and roasting the fire, killing the winter time, very comfortable. Hearing someone shouting outside, Wen Youyu wondered if a tavern came to buy wine, and hurriedly got up and said, "Someone, here!" ”
"Dad, I'll open the door."
"Go ahead."
The eldest son ran to open the door, Wen Youyu was a person who could do business, and hurriedly asked the second son to go to the kitchen to get some snacks, and was going to invite the old patron to drink a few glasses to go to the cold, but the result was not the old patron, but Pan Er, who was dressed very brightly and didn't look like an ordinary person.
"May I ask who you are......" Wen asked subconsciously.
Pan Er gently put down the worship box, opened it and took out a big red worship post, and handed it over with both hands: "Shopkeeper Wen, the small surname is Pan, the name is Changsheng, my master has heard of 'Wen Yongsheng' and Wen's shopkeeper for a long time, and I came to visit you today." ”
The worship post is bright red, and the worship post is a brocade box!
Wen Youyu knew that this was the etiquette for the official master's visit, and was immediately surprised: "Brother Pan, your lord's surname?" ”
Pan Er grinned: "The name thorn says it." ”
Han Zhixing, the head of the Chongqing Hall of the Jiupin Alternate Inspection, worshipped, and the three words "Han Zhixing" were in the middle of the famous post, much larger than the words on the head and the letter, and the eight words "Leave a name for the visitor, not for other use" were written on the corner of the post.
The official is not big, and he is still an alternate.
However, the first thing in Chongqing is not ordinary, it can only be done by people who are deeply trusted by officials of all sizes in Beijing, who are registered in Chongqing.
Wen Youyu calmed down and hurriedly asked, "Brother Pan, where is your master?" ”
"My lord is in the carriage, and the carriage stops at the mouth of the alley."
"Brother Pan, why didn't you say it earlier, look at me, I'm not prepared at all. Forget it, you can't let Master Han wait for a long time...... "People treat each other politely, and even use brocade boxes to show solemnity, Wen Youyu was really flattered, and he didn't even care about wearing a padded jacket, so he trotted to the alley with the corner of his clothes to greet him.
Han Xiufeng didn't want to put on a show of the official master, let alone play the prestige of the official master, but what he had to do next had to put on a show of the official master.
Seeing Wen Youyu, he exchanged a few words of greeting, and then came to the courtyard at Wen Youyu's invitation.
"Master Han, first drink a glass of wine to warm up."
"Thank you for the kindness of Shopkeeper Wen, the winter in the capital is really colder than our hometown in Sichuan, look at me to freeze, but I will be disrespectful." Han Xiufeng picked up the cup and tasted it, looked up and said, "Good wine, good wine!" Shopkeeper Wen, this wine is brewed by your family and transported from your hometown in Luzhou? ”
"Exactly, it is my 'Wen Yongsheng's old cellar." Wen Youyu smiled smugly.
Han Xiufeng drank it all, and said unsatisfied: "It's really a good wine, it really lives up to its reputation, it really didn't come in vain today, and it didn't freeze in vain." ”
"Master Han, you can taste this cup again."
"Okay."
Han Xiufeng drank three cups in a row, praised while drinking, and praised fiercely, then picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites of side dishes, put down the chopsticks and talked about the purpose of this trip.
"Shopkeeper Wen, I took the liberty to come to the door today, one is to send an invitation, our Chongqing Hall plans to set up a few tables of group worship banquet on the evening of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, at that time, the Hanlin Academy will review Master Ji, the Ministry of Rites member Wailang Qian, the Ministry of Labor Wailang Wang, the Criminal Department member Wailang Jiang and our Chongqing Mansion to Beijing to take the exam several people will come, and please be sure to appreciate the light at that time."
"Be sure to go, be sure to go." Usually I can't stammer, how could Wen Youyu miss this opportunity to make friends with the official master, and hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Master Han can afford Wen, it is a blessing that Wen has cultivated for eight lifetimes!" Wen will not only definitely go, but also bring my 'Wen Yongsheng' wine for the old men to taste. ”
"It's better to bring wine, let me thank you for the boss Wen on behalf of a few masters." Han Xiufeng likes to deal with smart people like him the most, so he first bowed his hand back, and then picked up the freshly poured wine, and said regretfully while tasting it: "Shopkeeper Wen, your wine is a good wine, with a strong cellar aroma, especially fragrant after drinking, clear and sweet, and a long aftertaste, but this kind of wine has not been able to be famous in the capital, and it is really fragrant and afraid of deep alleys!" ”
