Chapter 227: Getting to the Bottom of the Matter (Part II)
The rules of the Manchurians are big, and the flag people are exquisite, and everyone in Sijiu City knows and knows this.
According to the old etiquette of the full people, the new daughter-in-law is not allowed to go to the table to eat at the same table with her in-laws and husbands. The elders have to serve this carefully when they eat, otherwise they will be accused of being disrespectful and unfilial!
The uncles and uncles can't joke with the female dependents of the younger generation, and the female relatives of the younger generations can't show their arms and legs in front of the elders. When the young are asked questions by the elders, they must stand with their hands down and answer the questions of the elders with a pleasant face. When asked about the status of the parents at home, the child must stand up and reply. For the elderly at home, they have to abide by the rules of going out and returning. A small gift in three days, a big gift in five days, even if you meet an unknown elder on the street on horseback, the young person must get off the horse and ask the elder to go first.
But whenever there is a guest in the family, he must first be invited to sit down on the upper seat, and the father and brother who are in charge of the family will receive him, and the younger generations in the family will also have to stand aside and wait, and they must not mess with the rules and etiquette.
Although it is difficult to scratch the cat in his heart, but in the face of the rules of these two flag men, the cat master really does not dare to lack due courtesy. Respectfully invite the two flag men to sit down in the hall, and then drink the tea and snacks of the steward, and then the cat master sat down with him, but he bowed his hand to the second master of De and the sixth master of Kui: "Second master, I am here"
Haha laughed, while taking out an ivory rat the size of a fist from his sleeve and teasing it in his palm, he smiled at the cat master in a mansheng voice: "I said cat master, you can also hold these etiquette numbers again!" As soon as the second master of your family came to the door today, I almost grasped the reason for your thinking in my heart! Master Mao'er, if I say that the Beifu Manufacturing Office has seen something about you, then you will hand it over! Although Master Mao'er, you can be regarded as the number one person in Sijiu City, but you have to compare with those ruthless corners of the Beifu Manufacturing Office. You're not enough to see! ”
Still holding the orchid finger and holding the handkerchief half-covering the corners of his mouth, Kui Liuye also nodded with a chuckle and said, "Who said it wasn't?" I said Master Mao'er, I just heard an ear of gossip, if there is something right or wrong, then you are also more serious - I heard that the ruthless corner of the Beifu Manufacturing Office should be discussed from the root. It's not good to say, but it's the incense seed left by the old man in the spare place of Shang Yu under Yongzhengye's hand back then! With these sticky characters who were trained by Tang Ah back then, you really have to weigh it carefully! ”
Blinking his eyes, the cat master shouted at Kui Liuye in a bit of confusion: "Kui Liuye, you are talking about this is Shangyu's spare place, what kind of yamen is this?" And that sticky rod Bai Tang, what kind of position is this? ”
A look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and Kui Liuye still held the horn-like figure of the Dan, chuckled and raised the handkerchief towards the cat master: "Hey, I forgot that you are not the master of the flag, and you really don't understand some words!" You haven't heard of this place, sticky rod worship, Tang A. The sticky rod, the blood droplets, do you know a little bit of it? ”
With round eyes, the cat stared at the sixth master with a smug look on his face, and he couldn't say a word for a long time!
The old Beiping people who grew up at the feet of the Son of Heaven and in Sijiu City, who have not heard the terrifying sticky rod and the majesty of the blood droplets under Yongzhengye's hands back then?
Although it was in the hands of Lord Qianlong, the Lama Temple was demolished and changed into a lama temple, and the four black lacquered benches in the Imperial Pavilion on Duixiu Mountain in the Imperial Garden were also abolished in the hands of Jiaqing Ye. But those ruthless corners in the sticky pole who kill people without blinking and come and go without a trace, but no one knows where they are?
Could it be that this Beifu Manufacturing Office is a ruthless corner. Is it really the blood-dropped-like character in the sticky rod back then?!
Unconsciously, the cold sweat on the cat's back flowed down like a river
Perhaps seeing the dumbfounded appearance of the cat master, the second master laughed again, and shouted at the cat master who was a little lost and depressed: "I said the cat master, you don't have to take this matter too seriously!" Now the emperor of Xuantong has set up a new country name outside the customs. It is the time to be thirsty for talents and recruit strange people from all over the world to participate in the grand event, and the characters of the Beifu Office naturally have to listen to the Emperor Xuantong, and they can't make too much trouble and disturb the road of the Emperor Xuantong's search for talents! Otherwise, with the holy decree of the Emperor Xuantong, who in the Forty-Nine Cities is not allowed to act according to the decree? Do you still need the ruthless corner of the Beifu Office to come to the door with gold and silver, and make trouble with the mystery of the first salute and then the soldiers? ”
Nodding approvingly. Sixth Master Kui also responded with a crisp voice: "Who said it wasn't?!" Although it is now the government of the Republic of China that sits in the world, the emperor has already returned to the land of Longxing, which was full of eight banners! If you really encourage soldiers and horses and recruit talents, maybe in a few years, there will be another story of the children of the Eight Banners going south? At that time, above the Dragon Court in these 49 cities, we will have to let our banner people speak and be in charge! I said, Second Master De, did you have a minister of the guard in your house back then? ”
"Hey, Sixth Master, when you say that, I feel ashamed - with the way I look now, I am really ashamed of my ancestors! I said Sixth Master Kui, I heard that you were in the house back then."
"But when you don't ask the second master, there have been two princes and young masters on the ancestor, but there is still a grade difference between them and your ancestor!"
"Then if Emperor Xuantong returns to the Forbidden City to re-ascend the great treasure, with the credit of Emperor Xuantong serving and taking care of your palace when he was stationed in Beifu, not to mention that Emperor Xuantong will also reward you for the real lack of a prince and a prince?"
"That's not like you! The Minister of the Guards wants to face upwards again, but there is really only one reward left that can be worthy of your second master! I said Second Master De, when I see you, the iron hat king who has the skill of following the dragon, in the future, do I have to pick a curtain for you first? ”
"Don't dare to do that! Our two houses are both on the identity of the three flags, and it's good to talk about it with a flat head, and it's good to talk about it with a flat head."
Seeing that these two banner men in the Sijiu City sang and looked forward to the day when the Emperor Xuantong would return to the Sijiu City from outside the customs to erect the Manchu Dragon Flag, the cat who was already in a mess in his heart could no longer care about the etiquette, and hurriedly shouted to the second master of De and the sixth master of Kui: "I said that the second master is in front of him in the city of Sijiu, and there are really men from the Beifu Office who are running errands for the emperor of Xuantong?" ”
Shengsheng's anxious questioning interrupted the daydream that was being done heartily. Second Master De and Sixth Master Kui all lost their good looks on their faces. coughed a few times, Second Master De twisted his neck and looked at the cat with hanging eyes, and hummed with a condescending taste: "This is really uncertain!" If you want to say the origin of the Beifu Office, it is the same as the sticky pole back then, it is the yamen of the emperor to do some important things, and the emphasis is on a shadow. If there is no trace, where can ordinary people touch their score? Master Mao, I'm just talking to you a few more words, if you want to listen, if you are not willing to listen, you will treat me as a nonsense - but whenever the characters of the Beifu Office come to the door, you still obey the order! Otherwise"
After saying half of the words, Second Master De carefully pushed the ivory mouse he was serving into his arms, and slowly stood up from the chair. He bowed his hand slightly towards the cat master: "It's not too early this day, I still have people waiting for me to go to an elegant gathering, I will sue you here first, and I will retire first!" ”
Just waiting for the second master to speak, Kui Sixth Master also stood up from the chair, and the handkerchief in his hand was raised towards the cat master: "Yo, just patronizing and talking, I really forgot the time!" I said Second Master. Let's go with a companion, so let's go with a companion, right? I said cat master. I'm saying goodbye to you."
With both hands shaking, the cat master hurriedly shouted towards the second master of De and the sixth master of Kui: "Second master, you two and leave one step, you two sit wide!" I recklessly invited the two of you here, firstly, because I wanted to gain a long insight and add some knowledge from the two masters, and secondly, because I had a new thing in my hand, and I had to beg you two to taste one or two! ”
His eyes rolled slightly. Kui Liuye suddenly chuckled and waved a handkerchief at the cat master: "Yo, if you don't say this, I really forgot about this stubble!" As for the baby I am serving, don't you have to rely on the bait you have to recuperate? It's the new thing you said, I said Master Cat, there are things in Sijiu City that can compare the price of my baby and the ivory mouse of Second Master De, but it's really rare, right? ”
Picking up some flattering words that he didn't have, he threw them outside, begging for the second master of De and the sixth master to sit in the hall and wait. The cat beckoned the steward to follow him, rushed into another fairly clean room in the backyard, lifted two bamboo cages the size of tender gourds from the wooden shelves installed on the side of the wall, and turned his head and walked towards the hall in distress.
Helping the cat master carry the two bamboo cages with very exquisite workmanship, the steward peeked at the lights in the hall, lowered his voice and shouted to the cat master who was frowning and pondering: "My master, what's wrong with you today?" The left and right are just to ask the second master of De and the sixth master of Kui to come over and listen to some old things, you have such a big book?! These white jade teacup rats and ivory bobtails, but you spent a lot of money to find them from the south, no matter how you count them, they are all things that can be taken out of our house and call the signboard, so you really gave them for nothing? ”
nodded very absentmindedly, and the cat who was only thinking about the reason in his heart responded: "If you don't give it, you have to give it, the water in this city is too deep, and there are few characters who understand the road and know the doorway. ”
As soon as the words came out, the cat suddenly realized that he had too many words, and immediately turned his head and stared at the steward fiercely: "Go to the back to find some bait and food that I personally match and send it over, and then go to the ghost market to find a master who sells the keel with a broken bowl!" Let's just say I'm here, please! ”
Looking at the cat in surprise, the steward couldn't help but whisper: "Earth keel? Master, what do you want that thing for?"
Before he finished speaking, the steward was already frightened by the cat who suddenly turned his head and glared at him with a fierce light: "Master, I'll do it, I'll do it" (to be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
