Chapter 270: A World of Difference
While running on the reins, he asked, "Sima Wei, where are we on this ground?" โ
"Gentlemen, you've arrived in Sanhe Town!" Without waiting for Sima Wei to answer, a middle-aged woman in the store came out with a spring breeze on her face, "Come down and rest, eat a bowl of Sanhe old mash, don't miss your walk at all - Tailai's family, scald the wine, wash the dust for the guests, and ask the guys to lead the horses to the backyard and mix the best ingredients and feed them!" "It's been a blessing to say it.
When Qin Mengqi looked at this woman, she had a pair of half-sized feet under her green cloth wide robe and embroidered trousers, wrapped around her legs early, and her sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing her snow-white lining. Qin Mengqi dismounted and threw the reins to the guy while laughing: "Xiaoqiao Liushui family, you are a good shopkeeper, don't believe that your wine is comparable to Fenjiu?" โ
"You old Mingjian! Just smell and smell to know, this taste is sweet and mellow, where does the Fen River come from such good water! The proprietress spoke concisely and neatly, and was busy taking care of Guo Zhang's people without a little bit, and saw that Xiao Zhi was the host and guest, so she let go of the upper seat, and arranged for the guy to fetch water and wash his face, and kept saying in the door, "Don't look at my small storefront, I have more than 20 small shops like this!" More than 100 years old, all with good wine and good scenery, guests have this Yaxing! It's not my Cui boasting, I came to the door and my grandfather is still there, and I said, these words on the front of the guise are still written first! Emperor Lao Tzu is also a human being, and if it is good, it must be said that it is good! โ
Xiao Zhi sat down with a smile and said, "What a good mouth-since you said that the first king came to your house to eat, didn't your ancestor say what he looked like?" โ
"Your Majesty, is that still small?" The proprietress saw that Xiao Zhi was extraordinary, graceful and luxurious, and knew that there was a source, while busy with the dishes, she put the big copper kettle for boiling wine on the burning fire, sifted the wine and teased, "Grandpa Zu said that the gold ingots in the left hand of the first king Laozi are holding silver ingots in his right hand, and the donkey he is riding on is full of ginseng in his buttocks, and he eats ginseng when he is hungry...... As soon as it's time to go to the toilet, ask someone to get goose yellow satin and prepare it......"
Before he could speak, Xiao Zhi and his party were already laughing. Seeing that Xiao Zhi was in great interest, Guo Zhang pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you want goose yellow satin for?" โ
"It's so assy!" The proprietress clapped her hands and laughed, "Your Majesty, that's it!" โ
Xiao Zhi couldn't help laughing, coughed and said, "...... Good! Good! You describe it well, this is a good king! The guards leaned back one by one, covering their mouths and laughing.
was in chaos, but saw an official sedan chair on the official road outside. Then there is a four-by-small warm sedan chair, which seems to be an inner family, there are fifty or sixty people hugging each other before and after, the clothes are very mixed, the girl is an old woman, a master, a secretary, and a large group. Behind the back, more than a dozen mules carried sundries such as cages, makeup tables, thrush cages, etc., and wandered westward.
Xiao Zhi thought that it must be a vassal from which province passed by, and he didn't care. The proprietress looked at the official sedan chair, and in the blink of an eye, she saw a middle-aged man outside getting off the donkey, and the little Xi slave followed behind, and said with a smile: "There are guests here - the wine and food are all ready, please use them for your own use - hey, old guests!" Please sit inside, clean and bright, and hurry again......" he said, and greeted him.
The middle-aged man got off the donkey, ordered Xiao Xi Nu to tie it to the willow tree, and only said to the proprietress: "We are in a hurry and will not go in." Blanch two bowls of wine, and bring a plate of dried tofu, outside
Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:
Stand and eat and leave-" As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed the companion who was walking at the end of the official sedan chair, and asked softly, "Hey, brother, which adult did you pass by?" โ
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged man, although he felt a little familiar, he couldn't remember when he had seen it.
"You ask our master?" The companion glanced at the middle-aged man, swallowed melon seeds, ignored it and said, "The new county magistrate, sign the Sanhe County Order!" Mao Zongtang Mao Daling! With that, he staggered and went.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded after a while: "Oh-what a momentum!" โ
Xiao Zhi was shocked in his heart, a small county order, the top of the eight grades, actually brought such a large group of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods with him! Thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at Guo Zhang. Guo Zhang saw that his face suddenly became gloomy, for fear of having a seizure on the spot, so he said loudly: "The order of a county, Baili Hou, can you still have a little power?" โ
"Bailihou?" The middle-aged man had finished drinking outside the store, handed the proprietress twenty coppers, wiped his mouth and sneered, "This is a hundred-mile tiger, eating the people with a bloody mouth!" So saying, he went away. Wu Dan watched it for a long time, and recognized him, and when he saw Xiao Zhi distracted, he hurriedly approached and whispered a few words.
"Oh! It's Guo Xiu! Xiao Zhen's eyes lit up and asked Wu Dan, "How do you know himโwell, I know!" He suddenly remembered that Guo Xiu was a Taoist and was impeached for bribery, and Duanyang Festival was punished by basking in the sun with Governor Yu Chengchan outside the noon gate, and he sent Wu Dan to pass on the edict for questioning.
Xiao Zhi himself had only seen Guo Xiu when he was introduced to the ministry, but now that he looked at it, he was too far away from the "corrupt official" Guo Xiu in his mind, so he turned his face and asked Guo Zhang: "This Guo Xiu has been selected again, what official does the ministry put him?" โ
Guo Zhang couldn't remember clearly, and was tilting his head to think, Sima Wei smiled beside him: "This is when the slave was in charge of the ministry, Guo Xiu was demoted to three levels, and he is now the Tongzhi of Shuntian Mansion, and he is the master who shook his head." โ
Xiao Zhi didn't speak again, thought silently, called the proprietress and asked, "How many people are there in Sanhe County?" โ
"About 100,000 people!" The proprietress was a little inexplicable, and said with a smile, "Sanhe Town is a big wharf, with 36 lines on 72nd Street, more than 5,000 households, and it is lively!" - Yetai wants to walk around the town? โ
Xiao Zhi didn't answer her question, and asked with a smile: "How much fire consumption is the donation here?" โ
The proprietress was stunned and said, "One official and one king." In the past eighteen years, I have passed through five county officials, some of them are two dollars, three dollars, and some are four or five dollars, and the youngest one in front of the prince is the smallest, only one dollar and eight cents, but unfortunately Ding Wei has gone, and the new master has not yet arrived, where does the old woman know how much people want! Anyway, this place is a blessed land, just scrape it by the old men! He laughed.
Xiao Zhi nodded, stood up and yawned, and said, "Okay! It is worthy of being a blessed land, the wine is good, and the food is also good. I'll bother you another day - Jiangcun, account! After that, he came out, because he saw Li De and four or five little eunuchs eating and laughing in the shed outside, so he beckoned over and commanded in a low voice, "You take two people to Sanhe Town to see how that county is sealed." Don't make trouble, come back soon when you're done. After that, he turned his face and ordered Wu Dan and Qin Mengqi, "Ah Xiu, they have probably arrived at the post station, let's go back." โ
