Chapter 50: The Vanguard
Because he was worried that her husband's family would gossip, Qiu Yue turned around and returned to the Lu Mansion after saying this, but Fan Ming stood in the middle of the street but couldn't calm down for a long time.
Originally, he had guessed that his enemy must be not small, but he didn't expect it to be so big, he still understands the county-level yamen structure of the Great Song Dynasty, generally speaking, there will be one liuguan and three officials, namely the magistrate, the county cheng, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant, Chuqiu County is a big county, so the four officials are complete.
The magistrate is a liuguan, that is, sent down from above, and the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant have become land-sitting households, and the depth of collusion with the local government must be greater than that of the magistrate, which can be regarded as the real overlord of Chuqiu County.
My father used to be a county lieutenant, and it is estimated that he can be regarded as a tyrant in Chuqiu County, but now that he has been overthrown, only Bu County is left.
In Chuqiu County, Bu County Cheng was like a mountain blocking him in front of him, making him sigh!
Of course, he himself has no hatred for this Bu Xiancheng, but now this identity has an intersection with him, as long as Bu Xiancheng does not hinder him on the way forward in the future, then he will not be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke him, with his current identity and strength to want to bring down a county Cheng, it is simply a fool's dream.
His top priority now is to pass the screening test first and get a place in the county school!
Thinking about his own path clearly, Fan Ming's eyes suddenly became firm, and he took a slight breath and turned around and strode away.
……
All the way to the Northeast Street, seeing that it was already noon, Fan Ming sat down in a wine shop, and immediately a guy stepped forward to greet him: "Guest officer, what do you order?" ”
Fan Ming looked up and said, "Just serve two dishes, a pot of good wine, and some hard belly pads." ”
The guy bowed slightly and said, "The shop has a good pear blossom white, how about a cup for the guest officer?" ”
Hearing this, Fan Ming couldn't help but laugh, looked at the guy and said, "You and I are a stick mallet in the countryside, few people in Beijing can drink pear blossom white, and this kind of small shop can also eat it?" ”
Fan Ming's voice when he said this was not small, which caused the diners next to him to suddenly burst into laughter, and some regular customers pointed at the guy and said, "Xiao Er, I've been slapped in the face now." ”
The guy was obviously used to it, and his face didn't blush, and he smiled: "Joke with the guest officer, our small shop is just borrowing the name of Pear Blossom White, but this wine is not bad." ”
Fan Ming shook his head, "Let's try a pot." ”
"Okay." The guy sang a promise, and while walking quickly inside, he shouted loudly: "One meat, one vegetable, two hot dishes, a pot of pear blossom white, and two steamed buns, present them to the guest officer." ”
After a while, the guy brought the dishes to him, Fan Ming looked at it, a plate of cut sheep's heads, a plate of cucumbers, it looked good, but the so-called buns were steamed buns, there may be stuffing in them, plus a pot of wine.
I was a little hungry, and I was not polite at the moment, so I just picked up the steamed bun and started eating, and sure enough, there was a filling, or a meat filling.
The two steamed buns were quite big, and after eating half full, Fan Ming began to pour a glass of wine into the cup, sucked hard at the end of his nose, the smell was a little turbid, and then sent it to his lips and took a sip, frowning slightly, it was similar to the wine that Xiangxue gave him last time, it was still a little turbid, although it was not sour, but the taste was not too good, and the degree was very low, and he didn't feel anything like it.
waved to the guy, and the guy walked over in a hurry, "Guest officer, do you have any orders?" ”
Fan Ming raised the wine cup in his hand and asked, "This is the best wine in your family?" ”
The guy rolled his eyes, thought about being "slapped in the face" by this guest just now, and nodded again, "That's right, this is already the best wine in the store, are you not satisfied?" ”
Fan Ming shook his head, "Then do you know where there is a better wine?" ”
The guy hesitated for a moment, but a diner next to him replied: "If you want to say that we Chuqiu, the best wine is still in Taibai Building, but their wine is not cheap, just such a small jar costs a hundred, ordinary people can't afford to eat, some foreign wine is also good, but the amount is very small, and there is no money to buy." ”
Fan Ming gave the man a grateful look, "Brother Xie pointed." ”
The man also returned the salute, "You're welcome." ”
Fan Ming looked back at the guy and asked, "I have a relative in the county seat, but his family seems to have moved to a place, I want his new house, I don't know what method to use the fastest?" ”
The guy smiled, "It's not easy, look for teeth, they are clear about the houses in the county." ”
Fan Ming's face finally showed a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you, let's settle the bill." ”
The guy glanced at the desktop and quickly reported the number, "Chenghui, a total of five hundred Wen." ”
The corners of Fan Ming's mouth twitched slightly, this meal ate his salary for five days, but as soon as he looked at the reactions of the people around him, he knew that this price did not slander him, it was a normal price, and he was prepared to bleed heavily when he came out this time, this cost is just the beginning, and he will give gifts later, that is the big head.
However, he was also a little hesitant in his heart, although he learned from his master that Sun Xuezheng had good wine, but he must have drunk good wine, even if he waited for Taibailou to buy that good wine back, how could he guarantee that Sun Xuezheng would like it?
Gift-giving is an art.
After thinking about it, Fan Ming decided to find Sun Xuezheng's residence first.
The tooth man is easy to find, Fan Ming casually asked a porter on the road and found a tooth man, and the tooth people have contact with each other, after tossing and turning, there is a tooth who specializes in house trading over.
Seeing that Fan Ming was a scholar, he was also a lot more polite, and nodded: "This son, the contemptible surname is Chang, and he often comes and goes, as long as it is related to the house in Chuqiu County, I am not familiar with it, and the son has any needs, just give an order." ”
Hearing this, Fan Ming's heart moved inexplicably, and asked, "Do you know the mansion of the Fan family in Beicheng?" ”
Hearing this, Chang Chang immediately looked up at Fan Ming vigilantly, "Childe is talking about the former county lieutenant Fan Laohu's old house?" ”
Fan Ming's heart sank, he didn't expect that his father would have such a title before, nodded slightly and smiled, and deliberately pretended to be relaxed and said: "Why, things have passed for so long, why are you still afraid of being like this." ”
Chang Xiang waved his hand and made a silent gesture, "Oh my son-in-law, don't talk about this matter more, now the top is still secretive about this matter, what is our little minions, if you make any old person unhappy, you will crush us to death." ”
Fan Ming waved his hand, "Forget it, it's boring, let me ask you, where is Sun Xuezheng's mansion, do you know?" ”
