Thinking that the matter of the guild hall was more important, Han Xiufeng simply asked Pan Er to find the Shandong man who could repair old things, write a letter to Master Gu, send the letter to "Rishengchang", and rushed to the provincial pavilion to inquire if any fellow villagers had returned to Sichuan in the near future.

Director Zhang asked about the meaning of the visit, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhixing, you really came early as it was not as good as a coincidence." A few days ago, Mr. Wu, who stayed in the hall, was led by the Ministry of Rites to introduce him, and his Majesty set off back to Sichuan after seeing him. Master Wu is out now, his family is in the guild hall, I'll help you ask later, see if you can let Young Master Gu go with you. ”

"Which Master Wu?"

"I can't call Master anymore, now I should call Lord Wu, Lord Wu Wenxi, Lord Wu!"

Han Xiufeng muttered: "Lord Wu's name sounds a little familiar, Director Zhang, is Lord Wu our fellow villager in Sichuan, and what is his current position?" ”

"Lord Wu is not our fellow countryman, he is from Yizheng, Jiangsu. In the eleventh year of Daoguang, he was admitted to the Guozi Supervision School and promoted to assistant teacher. Later, we were successively elected to Sichuan Chengdu Prefecture Tongzhi, introduced to the prefect of the calendar, has been signed Jiading, Xuzhou, Chengdu prefect, this time back to Beijing to meet the promoter, appreciate the flower feather! ”

Looking at Han Xiufeng's sudden realization, Director Zhang leaned into his ear and said, "You have been in Ba County before coming to the capital, and I guess you haven't heard of Lord Wu." But he once served as the governor of Fujian, the acting governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and later the governor of Jiangxi, and the current cabinet scholar of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Wu Wenrong Wu Zhongtang, you must be like thunder, Wu Wenxi Wu is Wu Zhongtang's brother. ”

Han Xiufeng was really thunderous, and exclaimed: "It turned out to be Wu Zhongtang's younger brother, no wonder his career is so smooth even though he is just from a professional background!" ”

"I just know, if it is replaced by another platform, I don't know how long it will be on the waiting list after it is distributed to the province. Master Wu doesn't have to worry, I heard his family say that after returning to Chengdu, there will be a shortage, and it is a fat shortage. ”

"What's missing, should you go to our Ba County, should you not go to Chuandong Road?"

"Chuandong Road is short of fat, but there are even fatter ones."

Han Xiufeng asked, "Grain Dao? ”

Director Zhang shook his head.

Han Xiufeng asked puzzledly: "Director Zhang, what else can be fatter than the East Sichuan Road and the Grain Road?" ”

"Yes," Director Zhang looked back behind him, and leaned into his ear again: "You have forgotten what kind of place our Sichuan is, and our Sichuan is the land of abundance." Not only salt but also tea, compared with the salt tea road, the grain road and the east and west of Sichuan are really not fat. ”

"The salt tea ceremony yamen is in charge of distributing salt and tea, and collecting salt tax and tea tax, which is really a fat shortage!"

"That's why there are people in the DPRK who are good officials."

As he was talking, a scholar in his thirties walked out of it, and Director Zhang hurriedly got up and shouted, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, where are you going?" ”

The scholar smiled: "It's too boring to stay in the room all the time, and I plan to go out for a walk and go out to breathe." ”

Listening to the accent, he knew that this should be Lord Wu's entourage, Han Xiufeng hurriedly got up and saluted, and Director Zhang lost no time in saying: "Mr. Zhang, let me introduce to you, this old brother's surname is Han, his name is Xiufeng, his name is Zhixing, his hometown is Ba County, and now he is the head of the Chongqing Hall." Zhixing, this is Mr. Zhang Dejian Zhang who just told you, Mr. Zhang is not only a friend of Lord Wu but also a fellow villager of Lord Wu. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhang, who has been looking up for a long time."

"Brother Han doesn't need to be polite, although I am from Jiangsu, I can't write two words in one stroke, and I was the same as Director Zhang five hundred years ago, and I am also the same as Director Zhang. My brother is a friend of Director Zhang, and naturally he is also a friend of my Zhang Dejian. ”

"Mr. Zhang really lifted me, sit, please use tea." Director Zhang greeted.

Zhang Dejian actually had nowhere to go, so he simply sat down.

The guild hall is a place to talk about nostalgia and friendship, even if Gu Zhixin is not Master Gu's nephew, just an ordinary scholar, and wants to find someone to go back to his hometown in Sichuan, Director Zhang will help to inquire if anyone will go back. The three of them sat down and exchanged a few words, and Director Zhang asked embarrassedly if he could let Ba County Gongsheng Gu Zhixin go with him.

Zhang Dejian's big lord can't do it, but this little lord can still do it, and he agreed: "Since it's Master Gu's nephew, it's not an outsider, and we plan to take the waterway, we must pass through Ba County, and we happen to have a companion all the way." ”

took the silver from Sichuan businessmen such as Shopkeeper Wen, Han Xiufeng felt that he should be rewarded.

Thinking that the owner of the master in front of him was in charge of salt tea when he returned to Sichuan, and the shopkeeper Yu happened to be engaged in tea trading, if he could climb this relationship, would the Yu family still worry about tea, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhang, are you busy at night?" ”

"I'm waiting to go back to Sichuan with my family now, there's nothing to be busy with."

"Since you're not busy, can Mr. Zhang enjoy the light, go out to eat and drink together, and listen to the play?"

"Well, I don't know how to pass the time."

"Director Zhang, Mr. Zhang is all appreciative, don't say that you are not available."

"Look at what you said, as long as there is wine to eat and drama to listen to, I am free every day!"

………

Han Xiufeng ran to the provincial pavilion twice in three days, and he couldn't be more familiar with Xuanwai.

first wrote a note and asked a guy from the provincial hall to send it to the shopkeeper Yu quickly, and then found a restaurant with an opera troupe singing nearby, ordered a large table of dishes, and asked for a few pots of good wine.

Shopkeeper Yu received the note, and then pulled the guy from the provincial pavilion and asked, confirming that Han Xiufeng was feasting on the master of the Sichuan Salt Tea Ceremony who was about to take office, and hurriedly went home to get a stack of silver tickets, and trotted all the way to the restaurant where Han Xiufeng and the others were with the guys from the hall.

"Isn't this Han's first matter, why do you have time to come here to eat and drink?" Shopkeeper Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked up to say hello as if he had met by chance.

Zhou Xingyuan used to be a master for others, Han Xiufeng has dealt with Zhou Xingyuan so many times, and he knows very well that the master is not a fuel-efficient lamp, not to mention that he chatted with Master Zhang very well just now, so he simply smiled: "Shopkeeper Yu, Director Zhang is not an outsider, and Mr. Zhang is not an outsider, it is all his own family, don't pretend, sit down quickly." ”

"Master Han, Director Zhang, I'm ...... I ......" Shopkeeper Yu was embarrassed to find a place to get in.

Zhang Dejian looked at Han Xiufeng with a smile, he didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, Han Xiufeng didn't want to sell Guan Zi with a master like him, and while beckoning the shopkeeper Yu to sit, he said bluntly: "Mr. Zhang, this is the shopkeeper Yu, and he is also our fellow villager in Sichuan." used to do tea trading in his hometown, but later all the tea was underwritten by tea merchants in Shanxi and Anhui, so he could only go to the capital to do some small business. ”

How could Zhang Dejian not guess Han Xiufeng's good intentions, and couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper Yu, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"Mr. Zhang, the little one can't afford this honorific word, and the little one will say hello to you."

"Don't don't, there are so many people, what are you going to sit down and say."
