Chapter 264: Banquet Shadow

Pu Anti, the post supervisor temple office, Hedong County post supervisor Cao Peng Gou Shen, was twisting his eyebrows and looking at the yellow silk book in his hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 On the back of the info silk book, two flying phoenixes are embroidered, the silk threads are shining, and the embroidery skills are exquisite and lifelike. This kind of colorful phoenix silk book is not available to ordinary people, and even the powerful are not qualified to use it.

This is the decree of the queen - the single phoenix is the queen's decree, and the double phoenix is the queen mother's decree.

Gou Shen's appearance is much more normal than his name, wearing a cicada crown, black and white skin, good facial features, long beard and three locks, plus a deep coat, big sleeves fluttering, looking a bit of Confucianism. However, his expression looked uneasy, not from Yi Zhi, but from a man in black who knelt down across from him.

The man in black was about thirty years old, with ordinary facial features, on the thin side, with a short and fashionable circle, and his eyes were very sharp.

is just a ranger, but it makes him, today's uncle and the dignified county governor, feel like sitting on pins and needles, and his heart is hairy, just think about how can Gou Shen be comfortable?

Cough! Gou Shen coughed lightly, slowly put away Yizhi, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I got the news that the Marquis of Fuping will come to Pu Cheng in two days today and tomorrow." You do your thing, I do mine. I'll send someone to tell you when I'm done, don't show up here. Got it? ”

The man in black was expressionless, and said with a pause: "Understood." Then he got up and withdrew like a lilting cat.

As soon as this person left, the pressure of Gou Shen was gone, he let out a long breath, and said loudly: "Bring the wine!" ”

After a while, a servant hurried to the bottom of the stairs, but instead of bringing wine, he reported in a frightened voice: "A carriage has appeared outside the city, and a cavalry has appeared. It looks like the man who the master ordered to keep an eye on has arrived......"

Gou Shen, who had just relaxed, was tense when he heard the words, and stood up quickly: "Quick, prepare the official uniform and go out to greet you." ”

Outside the city, at the east and west gates, a long porridge shed was erected. The homeless people are bustling, crowding, oppressing, holding all kinds of containers, some pottery, some wood, lotus leaves, and even some directly with hard mud...... This is a twice-a-day soup kitchen, the time is only half an hour, and the hands are fast and slow.

Luo Zi's group of displaced people also squeezed in, and after about two moments, they were sweating profusely and squeezing out with a happy face. In addition to bringing it back to the elderly and weak at home, almost every homeless person who received the porridge poured the bowl to the bottom of the mouth at the first time. However, because of the food provided by Zhang Fang last night, Luo Zi and the others rarely had a full meal, and they didn't rush to eat as usual this morning. Instead, he ran a few hundred meters and came to the official road outside the porridge shed, showing the rice porridge to Zhang Fang and his party, who were waiting to enter the city.

"Today's porridge is very thick, and it is full, and there are not so many grains of sand, and the ...... can usually show the shadow of a person," the old man said happily, "This must be a blessing to the nobles." ”

Zhang Fang glanced at the porridge bowl and nodded: "My husband is right, it's really a blessing to me." ”

The matter is clear, Zhang Fang came all the way, and did not hide his traces, whether it was entering or passing through the checkpoint. Therefore, the officials of Pu Anti-City must know that he is coming, and the superior leaders are coming to inspect, do they still need to teach him what to do next?

While speaking, a sound of hooves came, and Gongsun Fu galloped in front of the team, hugged his fists on horseback and said: "Junhou, Hedong Governor Cao Peng Gou Shen, Pu Anti County Magistrate Zhou Shou, more than ten people below the county Cheng, county lieutenant, and Zhu Cao are downstairs, Gonghou Junhou." ”

Zhang Fang raised his sleeves and bowed his hand to the homeless: "Uncle, everyone, there will be a period later." ”

Looking at the car driving in the distance, the old man muttered: "If you really give this noble man a servant, even if you move a little farther, it's not impossible......

Under the city gate, a group of people dressed in dark official uniforms greeted them, the first one was about forty years old, wearing a high-crowned black ribbon, and laughed before speaking: "Hahaha!" This is Zhang Jun who attacked the Marquis of Fuping in sixteen bodies, right? Sure enough, the young man is handsome and extraordinary! ”

Qingyan lifted the curtain, put down the car, and returned the salute: "There is Lao Du Post, Ming Ting, and Lao everyone." Hedong has been plagued for many years, the displaced people are everywhere, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and the monarchs are hard. ”

Everyone returned the salute: "Sharing worries for the Son of Heaven and serving the court are all duties, so how hard is it." ”

Zhang Fang looked at Gou Shen a few more times, and sure enough, he had a bit of the appearance of the queen mother, just looking at his face, it was really difficult to connect with the extremely vicious appearance in the mouths of the homeless.

"The prince has worked hard all the way, and I am equal to preparing a little wine in the house to wash the dust for the prince. Please! ”

A group of officials bowed in unison.

After Zhang Fang thanked him, he boarded the car again, and under the guidance of the officials of Pu Anti, he entered the city gate and went to the temple.

It was not noon, and the displaced people outside the city held empty bowls and waited for the second soup soup in the evening. However, in the temple in the city, the lights are bright, the seats are full, and the hot wine and food are served like a running price.

The banquet is headed by Zhang Fang in the center, Gou Shen is the first seat on the left, and Zhou Shou is accompanied by the right seat. Gou Shen is 600 stones, and his position is equivalent to that of the deputy commissioner of the World Bank Administration, and his position is naturally above the county magistrate. In the Han Dynasty, the county was divided into upper and lower, and more than 10,000 households were the upper counties, called the county order, with a rank of 600 to 1,000 stones; If there are less than 3,000 households, he is the county magistrate, with a rank of 400 stones. Pu is just a small county with a few thousand households, so naturally there can only be a county magistrate. The comparison between the two shows that Gou Shen's position of power is far above that of Zhou Shou, the county magistrate. The entire Pu anti-officialdom is headed by Gou Shen.

Zhang Fang raised his glass and signaled: "Let go to the east of the river by the order of the Son of Heaven, and when I first arrived in Puanti, I was very grateful to be warmly entertained by the monarchs." Thank you with this wine, and do it first as a respect. "Hold your neck and drink it all.

Everyone praised the festival and raised their glasses to drink.

Immediately, music sounded from the supporting rooms on both sides, and a group of maiko danced along with the music, dancing with red sleeves and fragrant breezes.

Everyone was fascinated, only Gou Shen twisted his beard and smiled, with a proud face. Zhang Fang saw that he knew in his heart, these maiko must be Gou Shen's family tricks.

When the music and dance reached the high 0 tide, Gou Shen stood up, his face was full of red light, and said loudly: "Forgive the abruptness, how about inviting the prince to dance?" ”

Feasting, drinking, and dancing is a custom of the Han Dynasty, from the Son of Heaven to the villagers, there is no bad mouthful, the difference is only in the court or the countryside. In the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic dance was not a group dance, but a solo dance. Usually the most noble person dances first, and after the dance, the next person is "ordered" (designated) to take over the dance. Whether it is an invitation to dance or an invitation to dance, it is very rude to refuse, and it will even cause evil, and it is not surprising to draw a sword and cut people on the spot.

Zhang Fang naturally did not disappoint the fun, and immediately got up from his seat, approached the Maiko, and danced with his sleeves outstretched.

The young man is handsome, long-sleeved and good at dancing, smart and free and vigorous, and it is pleasing to the eye against the backdrop of a group of flowery dancers.

The officials applauded -- this is really not a boast!

After Zhang Fang finished dancing, he stretched out his hand to lead Gou Shen. Gou Shen also left his seat to dance, although it was not as good as Zhang Fang's eyes, but he also had a style of floating out of the dust, which naturally attracted some applause.

In this way, the atmosphere of the banquet is pushed to a high tide......

When a court leader finished dancing and led a young official with his hand, the young official made an unexpected moveβ€”he stood upright, folded his sleeves, and left the table without saying a word.

This sudden scene immediately stunned the officials present, and they didn't even stop the music and dancing.

A layer of green aura floated on Gou Shen's face, and he roared angrily: "Mo Qin! Such a faux pas, aren't you afraid that you can get out of this door and can't get in again! ”
