Chapter 5 Understanding

Seeing that an outsider was coming, Lu Shi didn't know what to call him, but just stood up politely and nodded to the person.

Zhang honestly saw the visitor, so he smiled happily and let the guest go, and joked out of his mouth: "Okay, you brother, I haven't come for a long time, but I am making fun of my brother here, isn't this the wicked person suing first or what, at this time, a dog with a nose rushed over, since he smelled the smell, why don't you come to eat together?" ”

At this time, the little girl hiding behind her mother cheered, flew over like a butterfly, and a fierce man pierced into the tower-like man's body, the man dropped the things in his hand, picked up the little girl and held it in a circle in the air, raised his face, and said with a smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for two days, but I want to kill my goddaughter, come, give my godfather a kiss." ”

The little girl giggled and kissed the man on the face, and at this moment, the little girl regained the innocence and liveliness that the little girl should have.

After the godfather and daughter laughed for a while, the little girl proudly handed the chicken leg bones that had been gnawed to the man's mouth, and said in a childish voice: "Godfather, I still have chicken legs for you, just waiting for you to come, eat quickly, eat quickly." "The little touch is a smug face.

The man bit the whole bone in his mouth in one bite, chewed it with a clattering sound, and said vaguely: "My goddaughter is so filial and fragrant." ”

The little girl giggled even more cheerfully, with a satisfied face.

Aunt Zhang's mother-in-law came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron and stepped forward and said: "Brother, don't blame your brother for not calling you, I heard that you responded to an errand in the morning, and I couldn't separate myself when I thought about it, and the guests at home didn't dare to call you to accompany me, for fear of delaying the official dispatch, and being blamed by Shangfeng for causing trouble to you for no reason, your brothers have been between you for many years, and you also know each other's temper, what else is there to find fault with?" Come, come into the house and sit down to eat. As he spoke, he asked a few children to bring a stool to the man and serve the dishes and chopsticks.

A few boys called out to their uncle and brought him stools, and it seemed that everyone was not outside, and they knew each other very well.

When the man heard that there was a guest, he hurriedly put down the little girl, bent down and strode into the room, and swept his eyes to see a short haired, tall Lu Shi standing there, although the clothes on his body were ragged, but he did not show the slightest downfall, just like that, his hands were in front of him, and he looked at himself with a peaceful smile, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "But I don't know which master in the temple came to my brother's house, and I Zhao Dahai is polite here." Then he clenched his fists and bowed deeply, without the slightest pretentiousness.

Hearing the sound and seeing people, he knew that this Zhao Dahai was a straight man, Lu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be called a master, I used to mix rice in Buddhism, and the rules and precepts were too rigid, and I couldn't bear the temptation of this flower world, and left the Buddha down the mountain, but now I am not taboo in wine and meat, and I came to the Zhang family's brother's house to mix rice, and I laughed and laughed." ”

A plain sentence brought everyone's hearts closer, Zhao Dahai was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "You monk is real, you are very fond of my Zhao Dahai's mind and stomach, come and come, I don't know that the monk may have wine or meat?" ”

"Yes." Lu Shi also liked it, so he didn't shirk hypocrisy and replied happily.

"Hahahaha, for the sake of your daughter's chicken leg noodles, let's have a good drink together." As he spoke, he took out a paper bag from his waist and slumped it on the table, opened it and found that it was indeed half a sauced pig's trotter bun, and then took out a clay jar from his waist behind him and put it on the table.

Zhang Laoshi hurriedly took away the child whose eyes were tied to the pig's trotters, and shouted that his mother-in-law found a few thick bowls, Zhao Dahai patted open the mud seal, Lu Shi was also a person in the wine in his previous life, and he knew the good and bad when he smelled it, it turned out to be a good Fen wine, praise a good wine, Zhao Dahai was said to be itchy, and he was even more proud, and when he mentioned the wine jar, everyone's bowl was full, and he didn't say much, he stood up and met Lu Shi, and he was dry.

Lu Shi was not polite, and he did it cleanly.

"Okay, happy, a character like a brother should have returned to the vulgar a long time ago, where do you need to practice penance in that small temple?" Zhao Dahai patted Lu Shi's shoulder and laughed.

This Zhao Dahai's hand strength was big, and Lu Shi endured this enthusiastic beating, but it did hurt, so he had to grit his teeth and smile and not reply.

Everyone sat down officially, Zhao Dahai picked up the little girl lying on his lap, reached out to hold it in his arms, and unceremoniously reached out and pulled a chicken leg to the child.

At this time, Lu Shicai looked at this man carefully. Seeing that Zhao Dahai is one meter nine tall, in this era, this is an anomaly, he has a strong physique, wearing a whitish post man costume, a wide-brimmed felt hat on his head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard, so that his goddaughter can hide, but he is careful between the rough, and he also avoids his goddaughter's little face intentionally or unintentionally, for fear of piercing the child, and when he looks back at his daughter, his eyes are full of love and tenderness.

At this time, the mother-in-law of the Zhang family stepped forward and thanked Zhao Dahai: "Come on, come on, every time it is a waste of money, don't you make your brother and sister-in-law's family a family?" ”

Lu Shi glanced at it, and saw that the thing that the man threw on the ground turned out to be half a small bag of grain, about 20 catties, which was a valuable gift at this time.

"Sister-in-law is too careful, today the post station came to the big staff, the reception is quite satisfied, the rest of these, I am a bachelor, always go to my brother and sister-in-law's house to eat and drink, the rest of my own keep is also cheap those mice, it is better to fill some stomachs for the children. Hey-a treat, even a few broken families, and I can't take care of it. ”

Lu Shi knew that in the Ming Dynasty, although the post station was a public office, in terms of level, it was less than nine grades, which was not in the stream, and it was also responsible for receiving officials along the way, which could be described as a bullying by everyone. So all along, no one at the post station wanted to take care of it. However, the Ming court stipulated that the post station received officials at all levels in the capital, and the local government was in charge, that is, the post station was in charge of eating, drinking, and sleeping for officials at all levels, but at their own expense. Because the local government of the Ming Dynasty did not have this money and food, the required fees must be solved by themselves, but the post station still has oil and water, because after all, it is an official guest house, and the above individuals cannot receive or receive it badly.

Not only that, but the post stations in various places also have an advantage, not only money, but also apportionment.

As long as there is a reception task, there is a name, you can force the people to contribute money and efforts, and the people above will naturally not pay for their own money to invite people to eat, so they will find a stall for the people, if your family has money, you will pay for it, and if you don't have money? It doesn't matter, you have to believe that as long as you are a human being, you can be useful, and you can do any porter or sedan chair man.

In fact, according to the regulations, if officials in the past want to use the post station, they must be on official business and show that they are compatible, otherwise, they are not allowed to use it casually.

However, there are policies and countermeasures, and there are ways to eat and drink for nothing anyway.

There are not many people in the post station of the army, just Zhao Tou and the three post station pawns, usually entertain a walking merchant to live in a room, help to make a little money, in addition to giving filial piety to the top, but also a few big money, Zhao Tou is also a single is not too stingy, usually get a few cents to everyone is also counted as a relief when there is no food.

If someone comes from the peak, you can even take some extra money with it.

One is rude, the other is deliberate, so after a while, Lu Shi talked with this Zhao Dahai about speculation, and he laughed continuously for a while, but he also forgot the depression at the beginning.

Zhang Laoshi saw the speculation that everyone was talking about, so he got up and officially introduced his good brother to Lu Shi.

Post Station Cheng Zhao Dahai, is the person of Yulin Mansion, hit Xiaoyin and attacked the title of the hundred households of the ancestral guard, but the current hundred households can be compared to the time when Hong Wuye was in the world, and the scenery is no longer different, and there is no money and food distribution, becoming a real false title, bluffing, now just mixed with a post to live, after the death of both parents, there is only one person left, there is no piece of tile, there is no land, more than 20 people, still single, there are also good people to introduce a few aunts-in-law, but they are used to cumin, I didn't want to marry again, so I lived in the backyard of the post station, and I really made the unit my home.

The post station usually needs a carpenter for tinkering, so that the two people get acquainted with Zhang Laoshi, Zhang is honest and kind, very big brother style, Zhang's sister-in-law is enthusiastic, and often sews and washes for Zhao Dahai, so Zhao Dahai comes to Zhang's house from time to time to eat, and also recognizes Zhang Laoshi's little girl to kiss, but every time he comes to eat, he is not empty-handed, and he brings a little thing to help the Zhang family.

However, this Zhao Dahai is a good hand of the envoy, and he is also anxious for justice and righteousness, and often contradicts his boss, and stands out for the villagers, and he is very disliked by the boss, but he is rumored to have a lot of dealings with a few nearby poles, so the county and the township have nothing to do with him, but for this reason, there is no pole to loot near the village, so it is in exchange for a township peace.

Zhao Dahai waited for Zhang to honestly introduce himself, then looked at Lu Shi, Lu Shi just smiled and said: "Brother, don't look at me, I'm just a monk who lost his degree and went down the mountain privately, unwilling to be lonely, so I still don't say it." "It's not that Lu Shi is hiding it, it's really too bizarre, if you really say that you are a future traverser who can't be in the future, it must be counterproductive, either you are beaten out as a madman, or you think that you are too fake and dishonest to socialize, it is better to hide it like this, but it seems more straightforward.

Zhao Dahai was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "Okay, it's also a refreshing person, I won't ask, or drink wine and eat meat, come, boys, there are not many things, don't you go to the table to satisfy your hunger?" After staying for a while, I was eaten by the little girl. ”

So a group of boys shouted, and they rushed up, and there was a war on the table.
