A strong threat made Miao Zhengxin finally choose to give in to the resentful eyes of the people in Maling Town.

Even the people of Maling Town, even if they were resentful, did not dare to speak out against it at all. Everyone knows that the area near Tongyuan Stream is the most fertile land in Maling Town, and it is the foundation of their survival. If this place is flooded by Maling water, then they can only migrate further north, or directly to Anhua County.

No matter which choice it is, it is not something that the people of Maling Town can accept.

Watching the people of Maling Town dig up the embankment that was erected, behind Shen Yun, the people of the Walled City let out bursts of cheers.

A farce over water finally came to an end, but the price paid was dozens of lives over many years. For the first time, Shen Yun saw the most straightforward human nature under the harshness of nature. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for him, but whether it was good or bad, his heart was also heavy.

Back at the county office, Shen Yun's mind was still full of afterglows and blood stains on the ground, dyeing the sky crimson.

The depressed mood lasted for half a month, and finally there was one thing that made Shen Yun show a smile on his face, and that was the bronzing invitation that Shen Yun was holding in his hand at this time.

The invitation was sent by a firm called the Gyeongju branch of Xingping Cabinet Fang, and the business that had the courage to send an invitation to Shen Yun was naturally only proposed by Shen Yun to Zhao Ji, and after several months of preparation, the cabinet was finally launched.

The red invitation card showed the usual festivity, and when the invitation card was opened, the handwriting and respectful words came to Shen Yun's face.

The one who came to deliver the invitation was a guy from Xingping Cabinet Workshop. At this time, he was wearing the official uniform of Xingping Cabinet Workshop. He was dressed in a navy blue gown with the words Xingping Qingzhou embroidered on his chest. All over the world, all Xingping cabinet shops are dressed in this way, but the words on the chest are slightly different because of different regions. Shen Yun could imagine how much shock it would bring to the people when these people lined up in front of the Xingping Cabinet Workshop.

The guy was hunched at this time, looking at Shen Yun with a little uneasiness in his heart.

The shopkeeper of the minute said that this is the initiator of the cabinet system, and he must be polite when meeting. Although they are employed by the royal family, they have the status of imperial merchants. But at the end of the day, if local officials impeach them, they won't be able to walk around for the right reasons.

Not to mention Shen Yun.

Watching Shen Yun read an invitation several times, the guy became more and more uneasy.

Just the next moment when his nerves were tense, Shen Yun suddenly spoke: "Go back and tell the shopkeeper Wang for me, and in three days, I will definitely go." ”

In a word, as if hearing an amnesty, the guy hurriedly bowed to Shen Yun, and then hurriedly withdrew from the back office. Looking at the guy's back, Shen Yun smiled. The cabinet is still a grass creation, and these people are still a little afraid of local officials. However, this is better than some imperial merchants taking advantage of the local situation.

Putting away the invitation, Shen Yun went back to the room to change into a civilian dress, and left the county office through the back door.

The cabinet shop opened, and I definitely couldn't go there empty-handed. At this time, Shen Yun was looking for a gift in the market. If you really can't shine it, you can only use just two days to make a custom.

Three days later, in the early morning, the quiet sky of Anhua County was suddenly broken by a noisy sound of gongs and drums. The people stepped out of their homes one after another, and rushed over with their voices heard.

In the folk customs of Gyeongju, there are generally only three things that can beat gongs and drums. one, is to marry; one, is the middle lift; The other one is the opening of the market. The sound of gongs and drums usually occurs in the late afternoon near the evening, and it is clear that the time has not yet come. The only possibility is to open the market.

Whenever there is a shop opening the market, more or less will distribute happy money to the onlookers, Gyeongju people call this called the city, which means that the door is open smoothly and the wealth is rolling. The people got the money, and the merchants begged for the lottery and won the momentum, which was a happy thing.

And Anhua County, which is economically desolate, has never seen Guanzhang before Shen Yun came, and has never seen the opening of the market.

After Shen Yun came, this was also the second time. The first time, of course, was when the Kneading Chamber of Commerce sold tribute.

When the people followed the sound to the streets of the city, they were instantly stunned by this huge scene. Everyone knows about the newly opened shop and the hiring of craftsmen to decorate it in the city. So the people who have seen the door face or something have also seen it.

However, the red silk made of large red flowers hung on each window lattice, and then a plaque of one zhang long was covered by red silk and hung high in front of the central door. Then about 20 people wearing the same costumes stood upright in front of the door, looking at the people who came to watch with a smile on the corner of their mouths.

When have the people of Anhua County seen such a scene?

Many people kept telling their inner shock, that is, they didn't even care about the happy lion dance in front of them.

The opening time of the market is customized, so when more and more people gather around, the lion dance also reaches the climax part of the year - green picking.

The green was picked for Tujili's performance, and a person standing in front of the door picked up a bamboo pole with hanging greens, walked around the lion dance, and then hung it on a high platform built on a three-story table.

The previous performance has finally reached its climax now. Nine lions gathered in front of the table one after another, making some scramble movements, and after a dazzling dance, they jumped up the first step one after another. At this time, the scramble is even more intense, as if a real lion is fighting, you bite his tail, I bite your neck. At this time, the people had forgotten what they were doing, and they were just cheering for the lion dancers.

Finally, four of the nine lions were victorious, and by this time they had already jumped on the second platform. Those who are still on the first floor can naturally only pretend to kneel and wait quietly for the fight above.

The drum beat became tight at the right time, as if a real big battle was imminent.

Suddenly, a gong sounded, and it seemed to be a signal for war. Four lions catch and fight in pairs, with their heads topped, clapped and kicked. In the applause, the lion's aggressive demeanor was vividly expressed. In the end, the two winning lions were tired, shook their heads at the people, and then jumped onto the third platform.

It is said to be a high platform, but it is only a large table five feet square.

This time the fight is even more thrilling, but if anyone doesn't pay attention, they will fall from here. The two lions also seemed to fight bloody, and their leaping and churning movements made the people let out bursts of exclamations. I knew that it was impossible for them to fall, but I felt like my heart was pinched.

Eventually, one of the lions was shot down. But apparently these people have practiced countless times, and the posture of rolling down is one after another lions, and then sent down. The lion who lost the battle rolled to the ground, but the one who won was even more brilliant.

I saw that its hind legs were straight, and it bit off the green vegetables on the bamboo pole in one bite.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the cabinet shop let people set off firecrackers at the right time. There was a crackling sound, and then in the expectant eyes of the people, they announced loudly: "The Gyeongju branch of Xingping Cabinet Fang is open today." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the lion on the top, constantly spraying copper coins from his mouth. The people did not expect that the city would be distributed like this. After being delighted, he hurriedly squatted on the ground to pick up copper coins.

After doing this, the shopkeeper looked in the direction of the city with a smile. When the big guys were curious about what they were waiting for, they suddenly saw two official sedans coming over one after another from the corner of the street in the distance. By the time they got to the crowd, the people had spontaneously moved out of the way.

At this time, the master of ceremonies immediately took a roll call: "The waiter of the school etiquette department, Li Gong, the governor of Qingzhou, congratulates the opening of the Qingzhou branch of Xingping Cabinet Fang." I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money. ”

Good guy, the people were stunned when they heard that Li Guifu had come to congratulate them. They never thought that this cabinet shop would be able to have a relationship with the government. Moreover, since it is Li Guifu walking in front, who is sitting in the official sedan chair behind?

The next roll call of the master of ceremonies completely stunned the people.

"The secretary of the province is Zhengzi, Zhi'anhua County Affairs, Shen Bannong, congratulations on the opening of the Qingzhou branch of Xingping Cabinet Fang. I wish the heavens to inherit the destiny and help the people. Live up to the trust of heaven and live up to the high hopes of life. ”

The one who came, suddenly it was Shen Yun.

The grudge between Li Gyufu and Shen Yun has spread throughout Gyeongju during this time. Li Guifu stole chickens and rice, which made Shen Yun famous, and the people used it as a joke. I don't want the two of them to appear in this place at the same time today.

However, what shocked the people even more was the origin of Xingping Cabinet Workshop.

Shen Yun's congratulatory message was very direct, to put it bluntly, this cabinet shop is a royal business. However, as a cabinet shop, what kind of things are operated here, it makes the people a little curious.

Shen Yun got off the official sedan chair one step ahead of Li Guifu, and waited for Li Guifu to come in the afternoon, so he greeted him and bowed to Li Guifu without being salty.

The moment Shen Yun raised his head, he clearly saw Li Guifu's eyes flickering a few times, and then returned to normal. Sure enough, the encounter between the two reminded Li Guifu of some bad memories in his heart. Shen Yun smiled secretly in his heart, but with a respectful look on his face, he followed behind Li Guifu and walked to the shopkeeper together.

The shopkeeper Wang had a smile on his face, and he respectfully invited the two to the door.

"Li Zhizhou, Shen Zhixian, Xiao Lao'er has a reluctant request."

At this time, Li Guifu pretended to be normal: "The shopkeeper Wang doesn't have to be polite, worry about the order, and the two of us will do it." The cabinet is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and we can't wait to serve it. ”

"Please also ask the two officials to unveil the trumpet."

The unveiling is to pull down the red silk covering the signboard. This matter is generally handled by people of high moral character. Obviously, the identities of Li Guifu and Shen Yun are enough to do this. Moreover, the shopkeeper also wants to use the two of them to create another momentum.
