Liu Renyu and his subordinate civil and military officials waited for a while, and at the same time did not forget to instruct: "Gentlemen, the people from the capital have always had their noses facing the sky, and they are very bullish, we must lower our posture, and when they come, we will all kneel down to show solemnity, and you can write it down." ”

The military attaches have long been accustomed to such things, and they have no objections, but Ma Tianjun smiled slightly and replied arrogantly: "General, students can not kneel." ”

"Why!?" Liu Renyu wondered.

"The Heavenly Monarch has a meritorious name, and it is a common practice in the court to see officials and not worship them." Ma Tianjun said with a brighter smile.

"If you don't say it, I forgot that you are already a lifter, it's just that there are court rules, so you can naturally not kneel." Liu Renyu remembered that Ma Tianjun was already a high school person, and he was now a reserve jinshi, and he was a star of hope in the Ming Dynasty, a country that valued literature and light martial arts, so the latter naturally did not kneel to the head of the Ministry of Labor, nor did he need to kneel to the eunuch.

When the military attaches saw that Ma Tianjun had such privileges, they all drooled with envy, and Ma Tianjun was also a little complacent.

It is said that everyone braved the northwest wind in the north, and waited from half past eight in the morning until 20 o'clock in the morning before they saw a scout with a small flag behind him galloping towards him.

The knight looked at Liu Renyu and arched his hand: "Tell the general, the guests from the capital will arrive soon." ”

"Is there anyone who is here?" Liu Renyu asked in a deep voice.

"I haven't seen it." The knight replied.

"Got it." Liu Renyu nodded first, and then ordered to the civil and military officials under him: "The guests will arrive soon, let's get ready." ”

"Yes, General." When a group of civil and military officials received the order, they tidied up their clothes, shook their spirits, and showed their best mental outlook.

After a while, a team of people appeared in the east of the city, but the leader was two people, one of them was wearing a cyan official uniform, wearing a black gauze hat, at a glance, he knew that he was a civil official, most of them were Cai in charge, and the other person was white and beardless, very young, and the body was wearing, I was obedient, it was a Ming Huang python robe, this was naturally Liu Chaoqing, the righteous son of the inner court king Chengen.

"I'm rubbing, the eunuchs under Wang Chengen's men are so powerful, they are actually wearing bright yellow python robes, doesn't it mean that the emperor hates eunuchs? That doesn't look like it! Liu Renyu muttered in his heart for a while, but his mouth ordered: "The ceremony begins." ”

With Liu Renyu's order, the onlookers on both sides of the red carpet immediately began to hold the Ming Dynasty's sun, moon and wave flags, waving and shouting loudly: "Welcome to Jingbian Fort to inspect and guide the work." ”

The schoolboys waved wreaths and just said "welcome, welcome".

Anyway, the welcome personnel here in Jingbian Fort were babbling here, but Director Liu and Gonggong Liu over there were obviously a little stunned by this kind of welcome model taken from later generations.

First of all, the banner hanging on the city gate is not right, the two of them are the people sent by the imperial court to do small things, where can they be regarded as Qincha, but Jingbianbao insists on saying this, and they don't want to refute it, after all, when people say so, they also feel that their faces are bright and very face-saving.

Moreover, those people holding the flag of the sun, moon and waves, as well as the boys and girls holding garlands and waving them are too demonic, which has not been seen much in the entire Ming Dynasty, but the main general of Jingbian Fort used such a scene to greet these two envoys, these two people are still quite useful in their hearts, and they are also full of good feelings for Liu Renyu, the chief general of Jingbian Fort.

When the two of them rode their horses to a large crowd dressed as civil and military attachés, these two people, believing that they were envoys from the capital, rode on their horses with a grin, without the slightest intention of dismounting to salute.

In this regard, Liu Renyu had already been prepared, but he saw that this general, who usually kills people without blinking, smiled like a flower at this time, bowed down and asked, "Dare to ask if the two of you are sent by the imperial court?" ”

That Liu Chaoqing smiled slightly, and replied in a sharp voice unique to eunuchs: "Our family and Lord Liu serve the will of the master Long Live Lord, come to you to see if your Lao Shizi reinforced concrete method is helpful, and also, you killed more than 400 northern captives before, and the credit is very great, and the master Long Live Lord specially ordered our family to bring a reward of silver to reward you and so on." ”

"Yo, it turns out that the two masters are really bad, and the villain is abrupt." When Liu Renyu heard this, he first said politely, and then immediately took the lead and knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "The villain Jingbian Fort guard, the guerrilla general Liu Renyu knocked on the two Qincha. ”

The rest of the people, except for Ma Tianjun, all knelt on the ground in unison, and said in their mouths: "The villain has seen Qincha, and Qincha is blessed." ”

Ma Tianjun, who lifted people, arched his hand to the two court envoys and said: "In Ma Tianjun, I just raised people in the exam, and I have a meritorious reputation, and I don't worship when I meet officials." ”

When Director Liu heard this, he saw that Ma Tianjun was very young, so he bowed his hand back, but there were no words in his mouth.

However, it was said that the two envoys sent by the imperial court saw that the civil and military officials of Jingbian Fort were very respectful, and their vanity was greatly satisfied, so these two turned over and dismounted, and then, Liu Gonggong took a few steps forward, helped Liu Renyu, who was kneeling in front, and said with a smile: "Our family is just a Fengyu, you are a guerrilla general, why do you have to make such a big gift." ”

Liu Renyu saw that this father-in-law Liu came to speak alone, but the principal was silent, and he already knew it in his heart, it seemed that the status of this father-in-law Liu seemed to be a higher level, so he replied with a smile: "Father-in-law said that he laughed, you are a noble person who often walks beside the emperor, maybe one day you will enter the celebrant and become a celebrant and soar." How dare the villain snub you. ”

"Yo, you can speak, borrow your good words." That father-in-law Liu smiled and said.

"Hey, the two of you have come to work hard, and it's not too early to see that this time is not early, please go to the Four Seas Restaurant to sit down, and let the little ones pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two of you." Liu Renyu pleaded with a smile.

"This is not busy, the court sent us to see if your Rausch reinforced concrete city wall is usable, we must do the right thing." Director Liu said seriously.

"Master Liu is diligent in the king's affairs, and the villain is very admired, but you two are guests from afar, so let us do our best to be a landlord, and when we finish eating wine and dinner, it's not too late to do anything." Liu Renyu pleaded.

"Master Liu, it's okay to have a meal of wine and food, and the city walls on the left and right won't run, do you say yes or no?" Father-in-law Liu gnawed on dry food on the road for a few days, and there was not much oil and water in his stomach at the moment, so he wanted to have a wine and dinner.

That Liu has always respected Gonggong Liu, and he did this just to make a gesture, indicating that he was still a serious person, and as soon as Gonggong Liu said to eat first, he nodded on the donkey.

When Gonggong Liu saw that Director Cai agreed to eat wine and dinner, he smiled, and when he was about to turn over and get on the horse, he didn't watch out for Liu Renyu and suddenly said: "Gonggong Liu, Director Cai, when you two arrive at Jingbian Fort, you don't need to ride a horse, so please take our special four-wheeled carriage from Jingbian Fort." ”

"Four-wheeled carriage!?" Gonggong Liu wondered.

"Exactly, this carriage is different from the carriage in our Daming place, it is a small one made in imitation of Taixi's method, it is very novel, and it is also very comfortable, so please ask the two Qincha to take the carriage with the small one." Liu Renyu continued to plead.

"Okay, it's new, let's go and see. Chief Cai, what do you say, sit or not? Gonggong Liu asked Cai.

"My father-in-law sits, how can I not sit!" Director Cai replied.

"Please, both." Liu Renyu bowed down and pointed to the inside of the city gate.

"Let's go." Gonggong Liu agreed, and together with Chief Cai, he walked towards the city gate under the welcome of the people of Jingbian Fort.

The two walked through the cave of the city gate, and saw a strangely shaped four-wheeled carriage parked at the end of the red carpet, which was indeed very different from the traditional carriage of the Ming Dynasty, with a strange style and glass windows.

"There's something special about this carriage." When Gonggong Liu saw such a style of carriage, he couldn't help but stop and evaluate it, and the director of the Ministry of Engineering has always been in charge of engineering, and he is also a little interested in this thing, so he also tasted it together.

Liu Renyu saw that the two of them were interested in their own carriage, so he vigorously introduced the advantages of this carriage, such as exquisite interior, comfortable ride, wide vision, and so on.

Gonggong Liu and Director Cai both nodded again and again when they heard it.

And when the two sat on the carriage and felt it for a while, they immediately praised this thing, and Liu Renyu saw that these two were very fond of their own carriage, so he generously expressed his willingness to give the two Qincha a carriage, and each of them also gave two horse-drawn carriages.

When Liu Renyu gave it away, he didn't forget to specifically explain that this carriage was sold for 5,000 taels a piece, which was really expensive.

Now that Liu Gonggong and Director Cai are very happy, especially that Director Cai, who is usually in the capital, because of his low position, he can only eat a little money, and occasionally he can eat a little kickback, in fact, he is also poor to death, and now he meets Liu Renyu and other unreasonable local tyrants, who are just a carriage and two horses, how can he not be excited.

Therefore, these two Qincha accepted Liu Renyu's gift unceremoniously, and they didn't even be polite, because when the Ming Dynasty came to this point, the officials who did not accept gifts were called alternative, and there was just a Hai Rui in the entire Ming Dynasty, and others did not have that awareness.

When Gonggong Liu and Director Cai came to the Sihai Restaurant, Liu Renyu led them to the Peony Pavilion, first drank a few cups of Fujian Jianning Gong tea, and then Liu Renyu asked people to send the local specialties of Jingbian Fort, glass mirrors, and soap.

When Gonggong Liu and Director Cai saw such strange things, they were all amazed, and when Liu Renyu said that these things were only produced in Jingbian Fort, and there were no other places, and the price was extremely high, these two Qincha were simply overjoyed.

When it was time for lunch, Liu Renyu ordered the cook to make a plate of roasted whole sheep that was extremely delicious, supplemented by cucumbers, watermelons, etc., which grew in the glass greenhouse.

During the banquet, Liu Renyu and the two Qincha pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank happily.

After this meal was finished, Liu Renyu also asked people to offer 1,000 taels of silver, as well as a number of antique calligraphy and paintings, which were given to the two Qincha.

That Gonggong Liu and Master Cai had gained so many benefits, so they were naturally overjoyed.

After the meal was finished, and the time had already come to the afternoon, Liu Renyu asked the two Qincha: "The two are on the errand, do you still see this city wall?" ”

"Look! Can't we still trust Renyu? I think your city wall is very useful, Chief Cai, what do you say? Father-in-law Liu burped and asked Cai.

"Then it goes without saying, General Liu's things can be bad, I will tell the above when I go back, just say that the reinforced concrete city wall of Jingbian Fort is indeed usable." Director Cai replied repeatedly.

"That's right!" Gonggong Liu first praised Director Cai, and then said to Liu Renyu: "General Liu, when you come to the capital in the future, you will come to live in my house. ”

"What a noble person the father-in-law is, how the villain climbs." Liu Renyu said politely.

"What can't be climbed, our family is just a waste person with no roots, where does the dignity come from, unless you look down on us!" Liu Gong is fair.

"Yo, what did my father-in-law say! Since your father-in-law said so, do you think that if this is not the case, the villain and the father-in-law are both surnamed Liu, why don't you be brothers with your father-in-law? Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"Okay, how old is General Liu?"

"25 years old."

"It's older than our family, so it's okay for our family to call you big brother?"

"It's a blessing for the villain." Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"Why does my brother still call himself a villain?" Gonggong Liu feigned dissatisfaction.

"Brother Xian." Liu Renyu went down the donkey road.

"Congratulations to Gonggong Liu and General Liu for following the story of Taoyuan and marrying Jinlan." Director Cai congratulated on the side.

"Hehe, Brother Xian, Director Cai, it's still early, I've prepared a play in the courtyard of the restaurant, please go and watch it, how about it?"

"Let's go." Liu Gong is fair.

"People come, serve Father-in-law Liu, and Director Cai will go to the play."

"Yes, General."

The maidservants waiting outside the door got the order, so they divided into two groups and helped Gonggong Liu and Master Cai, who were already slightly drunk, to go to the play.

Liu Renyu deliberately fell behind, and said to Ma Tianjun, who was accompanying him to eat and drink: "Hehe, how can state affairs be handed over to these people, how can it not be bad!" ”

After Ma Tianjun heard this, he was silent.
