Chapter 401: Generous gifts

Entering the local customs, Qin Lin also asked people to go to the paper shop to buy a lot of blank posters, he wrote a word is crooked, Xu Xinyi's character is not good, but Xu Wenchang's calligraphy is a must in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also a practice in officialdom to ghostwrite by the guest of the scene, so he asked the old man Xu to fill in the name post, and ordered the captain of the army to vote separately.

Chengguo Mansion, Wuqing Bofu, Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng's outer residences, Wang Guoguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Fang Fengshi, the servant Lang Zeng Shengwu, the Ministry of Industry Li Youzi, the waiter Pan Jitao, and the Imperial Shi Geng Dingli of the Metropolitan Inspectorate...... This family has to go to vote, but fortunately, there is no need to go in person, otherwise Qin Lin will be useless.

Even Xu Jue, who was in charge of the Dongchang Punishment of 1,000 households, Chen Yingfeng, who was in charge of 100 households, and Feng Bangning, who was "recuperating" at home, Qin Lin sent people to post posts, as for what they thought when they saw the posts, it was their business.

In fact, Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng received Qin Lin's famous post, but they just couldn't cry or laugh, and Feng Bangning was a little different.

Feng Bangning was sitting on the bed at the time, playing with the two flowery concubines by washing his feet, and the stick sores that he was beaten by his uncle were about to heal, and he had a little spring heart floating again.

The housekeeper stood outside the room with the name card taken out of the door book, looking a little strange, until Feng Bangning saw the continuous urging, and then hesitantly handed the name card over.

One, two, three...... Feng Bangning's smile became more and more proud, although he was "recuperating from illness" and temporarily lost his real lack of authority, but the number of famous posts he received was not less than in previous years, or even more, which made him very proud.

Suddenly seeing a famous letter at the bottom, Feng Bangning read in surprise: "Jin Yiwei commands General Mingwei to take charge of Nanya Qin, Qin, and Qin Lin on his behalf!" ”

Qin Lin used the official rank of the Fu Division of Nanzhen to give Feng Bangning a post, didn't he die of anger? Sure enough, Feng Bangning screamed loudly in his mouth, threw away the name card in a hurry, and with a bang, he stretched out his foot and kicked over the footbath.

Unexpectedly, the force was a little bigger, and he didn't sit down firmly, so he slipped off the bed, and his buttocks happened to sit on the overturned copper basin, Feng Bangning suddenly screamed like a pig: "Ouch my mother, the stick sores are bursting again!" ”

Qin Lin naturally didn't know that a fluttering poster would make Feng Bangning's ass bloom again, and the soldiers finished casting the post, but the most important guest had to go to worship in person.

There are three places left, which must be gone according to the rules: Xu Wenbi, the cheap uncle Dingguo Gong, Xu Xinyi has already made an appointment for the fourth year of junior high school, and he is not busy for the time being; Liu Shouyou, the governor of Jinyi, is the top boss, and it is the right thing to visit, even if the big guys kick each other under the table and are blue and purple, they still have to be harmonious on the table; Finally, the emperor's first assistant Zhang Juzheng is in the house, and he often goes to visit the door, can he not go to this New Year?

Hearing that he was going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Xinyi's plump red lips pursed, his hands were clasped to his chest, and he looked Qin Lin up and down with a sneer: "Jingshi's rules, worship relatives have to wait until the fourth, fifth, and sixth days of the new year, why are you in a hurry?" Hmph, it's only the second year of junior high school! ”

Qin Lin pretended to be stupid, blinked his eyes, and pretended to be more obedient than the little white rabbit: "Zhang Xiangye should be the first assistant of the court, the first day of the first day of the first year, the second day of the first year of the first year to worship the prime minister, and the routine business for the husband, not to go to relatives." ”

"Oh, isn't it a relative?" Xu Xinyi also blinked his round apricot eyes and narrowed his eyes badly.

Miss Xu's vigilance is really high, and even Chief Qin, who is full of wisdom, can only smile bitterly and touch his chin, speechless.

"Go, you have the ability to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion to be a child, hehe~~" Xu Xinyi stretched out his palm and pushed Qin Lin out of the door, snickering: Do you think anyone is as easy to talk as Miss Ben? If Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the emperor, is willing to marry his daughter as an equal wife, unless the sun comes out of the west!

Qin Lin brought a few festive gifts, called the two brothers Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali and the captains of the pro-soldiers, and went out to pay respects.

It is estimated that Zhang Juzheng's mansion will be full of guests at this time, Qin Lin will gather Hong Yangshan first, and go to the top boss Liu Shouyou's mansion together.

There are already a lot of officials in Jinyi who have gone to Liu's Mansion to register first, and it is not strange to see Qin Lin coming, even if they fight with each other in the officialdom, they must always abide by the rules that should be observed, and they can't tear their faces until the last step, otherwise they will be criticized from all sides, and they will not be able to stand up first.

What's more, Liu Shouyou and Qin Lin are now just well water and not river water, they are wary of each other, and they come to a little knock and fight from time to time, and they are not to the extent of fighting to the death.

These days all know that Qin Lin's holy family Youlong, yesterday it was said that the Zhengdan Dynasty was blessed with a banquet by Wanli, and a royal banquet was rewarded, and the scene of him sharing cakes and eating with Dingguo Gong and Zhang Xiangye was even more popular, so not only those officials who were not Liu Shou's descendants took the initiative to talk to him and say hello, but they were enthusiastic from the inside out, that is, Liu Dudu's cronies, and they were all smiling on their faces, pretending to be enthusiastic.

Liu Shouyou, who was talking to several earls, governors, concubines and other guests in the inner hall, was called a radiant and eloquent person, he was originally a son of a famous courtier, and he was talking from the side.

A pro-soldier lieutenant walked over and whispered a few words in his ear, the corners of Liu Shouyou's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled slightly: Is he here too?

The hall officials of the Jinyi Guard were basically here, and Liu Shouyou wanted to show his absolute control over the Jinyi Guard system in front of outsiders, so he ordered the servants to lead all the hall officials to come and visit.

Qin Lin walked into the main hall with the officials in the hall, smiled and bowed to Liu Shouyou, Liu Shouyou also shouted Qin Lin's name and bowed back, and everyone said some auspicious words to each other.

Several governors, uncles, and concubines who were already in the hall all nodded secretly when they saw that the officials of Jinyitang were gathered together: It seems that Liu Dudu's control over the Jinyi Wei system is quite firm, and he didn't seem to be able to suppress someone Qin under him in the palace yesterday, but today's appearance, after all, it was Governor Liu Du who crushed people to death, no, one governor and the other were commanders, which were five or six levels older than someone Qin.

Liu Shouyou was also a little proud in his heart, aren't you Qin Lin a saint, don't you want to be unique in the Jinyi Guard? After all, my old Liu is the head of the brocade guard, the prince and the prince, and the governor of Zuo, to get to the point where I am, you are still early! No, I'm honestly greeting me.

"Commander Qin, you are loyal to the country, you are deeply favored by the saints, and the brocade guard in the hands of this official has produced a young talent like you, and even this official is honored! Young people, work hard, and soar in the future, we have a chance for Jinyiwei! ”

Liu Shouyou took Qin Lin's hand and said very kindly.

On the surface, he praised Qin Lin, and every word bit the identity of Shangguan, he was telling everyone: See, it is my old Liu and Qin Lin who are in charge of the brocade clothes, he is still tender, who wants to think about taking refuge in him now, I am afraid it is still twenty years early!

Qin Lin's uncharacteristically humble: "Liu Dudu is too polite, this little bit of the lower official is not worth it, in front of Liu Dudu, but Sun Monkey met Tang Sanzang, and he can't escape the tight spell!" ”

Liu Shouyou smiled on his face, and muttered in his heart: How can this Qin someone be unusually and extraordinarily modest? Don't be a moth, right?

10 points for the correct answer!

All the officials in the hall took out gift lists, some gave them a birthday star made of gold, and some people gave a buckle of mutton fat and white jade, but Qin Lin took out a long gift list and read it aloud:

"The subordinates worship eight catties of longevity noodles, two buckets of peanuts, four boxes of sugar cakes, a mention of six-color candied fruit, and ...... at both ends of the flower cloth and the inside."

From the earl, the concubine, and the governor sitting in the hall, to the Shangguan of the Jinyi Guard Hall who was standing, all of them had their eyes wide open, their mouths open enough to swallow a whole egg, and they looked at Qin Lin as if they didn't know each other, and looked at Liu Shouyou in confusion.

There are so many kinds of gifts given by Qin Lin, I am afraid that there are no less than seventeen or eighteen, but they are all cheap things sent by the people of Beijing to visit relatives and friends during the New Year's holidays, and all of them add up to see if they are worth ten taels of silver!

There was an uncle in the hall who was not educated and laughed on the spot: "This, this is treating our Liu Dudu as an old lady in the countryside?" He, fucking both ends of the cloth, a basket of eggs! ”

Liu Shou had a cheeky twitch, and he had a crazy impulse, this was the first time he had received such a gift since he was born.

But Qin Lin didn't seem to understand at all, and he smiled and sent it over with a gift list: "The gift is very thin, it's really not a tribute, just because the officials are meager, and they already know that Liu Dudu is honest and honest, and he is a gift with talent, and I hope that Du Du will accept it with a smile." ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, the officials of the capital worship each other, and I haven't heard of beating the guests out because of the small gifts, not to mention that it sounds like Qin Lin gave a lot of things...... Liu Shouyou's face was red and white for a while, accept the gift, it's a joke, refuse to accept the gift, I'm afraid that others will laugh even more: dare to love the gold birthday star, mutton fat and white jade buckle, and drive out the eggs, longevity noodles or something, you Liu Dudu is so greedy and vulgar?

There was really nothing to do, Liu Shouyou had no choice but to take the gift list from Qin Lin's hand, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "The gift given by Commander Qin is really interesting, and the chef of this official is afraid that he has saved a lot of procurement costs." ”

Other Jinyi Weitang officials, whether they were Liu Shouyou's cronies or not, laughed all over the river in their stomachs, and secretly said that Qin Lin was really lazy, isn't this a joke about Liu Dudu? It is clear that another mountain will be set up, and Liu Dudu will fight against it!

However, Liu Dudu is not a vegetarian, his eyes turned to his heart, and after accepting the gift list, he immediately instructed the servants: "Come on, go and prepare a bag of Huaishan, ten catties of jujubes, and a leg of pork...... Give Commander Qin back as a thank you step. ”

The guests of the Beijing division came to visit, and the next day the host returned to worship and called Xie Bu, and over time the return gift was also called Xie Bu, Liu Shouyou returned to Qin Lin on the spot, and it was also a bunch of inexplicable things, which was called to give his body back to his people in the way of others.

"Thank you for the reward of Governor Liu!" Qin Lin thanked him honestly, and honestly took his things and left.

Hmph, the headquarters told you to take advantage! Liu Shouyou sat down angrily, drank tea slowly, and consciously responded appropriately.

Seeing that the faces of the cronies on the left and right were not quite right, Liu Shouyou's heart suddenly jumped: How Qin Lin gives gifts, I will return the gifts, isn't he leading the nose away? Besides, he is the commander of his subordinates, and I am the governor of the Jinyi Guard, and the gifts given to each other are equal, doesn't this mean that I acquiesce that he is qualified to fight against the court?

Oops not good! At this time, Liu Shouyou slapped the armrest of the chair, and knew that he was in front of Qin Lin: it was said that Sun Monkey couldn't jump out of the Five Finger Mountain of the Buddha, but that guy changed the Buddha to Tang Seng, clearly saying that he himself was a powerful Sun Monkey, and I, Liu Dudu, was Tang Sanzang who could only recite scriptures!
