Chapter 10: All the Men Are Together

"Lord Su."

"I've seen Su County's order." As soon as Su Dong, the commander of the Wei County, appeared at the door, Li Xiancheng and Di Renjie stood up and bowed one after the other.

This Su County Commander looks the same age as Li Xiancheng, and they are both around forty years old. However, compared with Li Xiancheng's Confucian appearance, Su Xianling, who is a little rich, looks more like a rich man when he is not wearing an official uniform.

"The back house is not as good as the front yard, you don't need so many courtesies, just sit down."

After Su Xian Ling sat down on the main seat, Li Xiancheng and Di Renjie sat down on the side.

"By the way, Jiwen, why are you free to come over, the official remembers that the Zhang family doesn't have some troublesome things for you to mediate, but the mediation is good?" As soon as Li Xiancheng sat down, the question of Su Xian Ling came.

"What the lord said is that the Zhang family has some things, but they are all mediated now, otherwise the lower officials will not dare to come back."

"Hehe, I see." Although the relationship between the two is a little tense, they have not torn their faces after all. Especially in front of Di Renjie today, Lord Su was even more inconvenient to be as thorny in his words as in the past, so he had to say such a sentence noncommittally.

"What's going on with the Zhang family?" After thinking about it for a while, Su County Ling asked about the Zhang family, and seemed to have forgotten that there was another matter of Di Renjie waiting to submit the official certificate.

Li Xiancheng didn't seem to be surprised, first gave Di Renjie an unhurried look, and then said with a relaxed face: "Actually, it's not a big deal." As you know, my lord, the Zhang family has been preparing for the marriage of their young master recently, and today is just the day when the two families are invited. ”

"It is said that the six rites of Nacai, Najib, Najib, and Nazheng have all passed, and the date should not cause trouble. But unexpectedly, after the girl's family got engaged in Najib, the elder brother of the family told his parents that he would ask for more dowry when he was recruited, so that he could marry a wife and take a concubine in the future. ”

The girl's parents also thought the same way at the time, so they agreed, and asked the famous old man in the clan to go to the Zhang family to euphemistically express this meaning.

The old lady of the Zhang family had seen the girl a few times, and she really liked it in her heart. So after knowing this matter, he ordered to go down to give more dowry, since the mother has a life, the master of the Zhang family was very generous when he was hired, only the fertile paddy field was sent fifty acres, and there were three shops in our county, and other money and grain, silk and other things were countless, and the list of dowry was also written on several blank sheets. ”

However, after the girl's brother returned to Weishi County a few days ago, not only was he not happy because of the rich dowry, but he wanted more. That's why today there was a commotion......"

After Li Xiancheng finished speaking, let alone Di Renjie, Master Su, who had been a county magistrate in Weishi County for three years, was a little dumbfounded and said, "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen." ”

Li Xiancheng just wanted to speak, and a subordinate suddenly walked in outside the door.

When Li Jiwen saw the person coming, a smile flashed in his eyes, so he kept silent, just quietly watched the person bow his head and whispered in Su Xianling's ear.

I don't know what the two of them said, but I can only see Su Xianling frowning, and seems to have inadvertently glanced at the position where Li Jiwen and Di Renjie were sitting.

"Jiwen, you accompany Di Gongzi to do less time here, and the official will go back when he goes." So saying, he stood up and walked out the door.

Li Jiwen and Di Renjie got up at the same time to send each other, and Di Renjie said in a proper manner: "Master Su, please." ”

"Wait, the lower official still has an urgent matter to share with the adults." Master Su had just raised his feet and stepped forward, when Li Jiwen suddenly said this.

Su Dong thought to himself that he had wasted so much time listening to the Zhang family's little just to wait for the return of the subordinates, and now that the rewards of the subordinates have come, where can Li Jiwen bring up Di Renjie's matter like this. So he immediately said: "Don't worry, I'll go and go back, what is there to ...... for me"

"That, my lord, Xia Guan said so many words, and his mouth is a little dry, can you enjoy a bowl of good tea." To Su Dong's surprise, Li Jiwen did not say anything about Di Renjie, but just a trivial matter of begging for tea.

Su Dong was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and scolded: "It's like you're here for the first time in this back house, and you're begging for tea." Okay, for the sake of you wasting your lips and tongue to mediate the affairs of the Zhang family, this official will let you eat something good today. Go, make a pot of Yiyang tea, sir, and send it over. ”

After the order, Master Su left the main hall with his subordinates, leaving only Di Renjie and Li Jiwen.

"Don't worry, just wait for a while, Lord Su will come back and ask for your official certificate to check, you might as well find out the official certificate first."

Taking advantage of the fact that there were only the two of them in the room, Li Jiwen whispered to persuade Di Renjie.

Di Renjie was not in a hurry, he was just a little puzzled.

He really didn't expect that a small Weishi County would be like this. Even the simple submission of official certificates was perfunctory.

"Thank you Li Xiancheng, I'm not in a hurry." Di Renjie said politely casually.

"By the way, Li Xiancheng hasn't finished talking about what happened just now, I don't know if it's inconvenient for Fang to continue to talk to me about the Zhang family."

Li Jiwen was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Since Di Gongzi wants to hear it, then I will tell you to hear it." ”

On this side, the two of them chatted about the story of the Zhang family while drinking good tea.

In the other room of the back house, Lord Su was not in the mood to drink tea. Not to mention drinking tea, after seeing Cao Mi, this Master Su couldn't wait to drop the tea bowl in his hand.

"Cao Mi, it was your sworn promise that you could make up five hundred pieces of money, and ten horses of Yukou Aya, and the official used his strength to promote you from the county lieutenant to the position of the main thin, but now the silver money you have collected is only a hundred yuan, and Yukou Aya only brought back one horse, you say, how do you want the official to believe you!"

"The adults were angry, mainly because the lower officials didn't expect that the man surnamed Wu had been the master for so many years, and he would be a family disciple. But don't worry, my lord, Xia Guan has been trying to get in touch these days, and I think it will be sent in a few days. Cao Mi once again swore and promised.

Although Su Dong didn't want to believe it, but after what happened last time, he and Cao Mi were already grasshoppers on the same rope. "By the way, the Zhang family has been doing a happy event recently, you can see if you can think of a way from his family, even if his family can't do it, it's good to use some strength from that girl's family."

Cao Mi hurriedly agreed, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely prepare things within a month, so that you can take them to Bianzhou." ”
