Changing into new clothes, Xiao Zhu's mood was not very high.

He kept his head down all the way and stopped looking at the side of the road.

Finding that there was something wrong with him, Yuan Xu didn't ask anything because he was followed by the servants of the Zhen family.

Zhen Yi's house is located on the busiest street in Shang Cai.

There are many shops on the road, and pedestrians come and go, which is very lively.

Before Yuan Xu came, Zhen Yi had already gotten the news and was waiting outside the door.

Seeing Yuan Xu from afar, he greeted him down the steps.

"There is Lao Zhen County's order to welcome you!" When he was about to get closer, Yuan Xu first hugged his fist and greeted him with a smile.

"The county lieutenant appreciates his face, and suddenly feels puffy!" After returning the salute, Zhen Yi stepped aside and said, "Please!" ”

After a few words of humility with Zhen Yi, Yuan Xu entered Zhen's mansion.

Zhen's mansion does not occupy a lot of land, but the layout is very exquisite.

In the outer courtyard, in addition to several rows of elegantly shaped houses, there are also many flowers and trees.

The early spring wind caresses the torso, and the flowers and plants swing their torques, as if they are welcoming the distinguished guests who come here.

Before the time of day, the courtyard was full of small yellow and white flowers.

Even so, the courtyard of the Zhen Mansion is still full of life!

"I have heard for a long time that Zhen Gong is an elegant person, and when I came here today, Fang Jue's rumors are true!" Walking side by side with Zhen Yi, Yuan Xu praised him.

didn't understand what kind of person he was at all, and Zhen Yi didn't know if he was sincere in praise or if he had something to say.

has been in the officialdom for many years, and Zhen Yi can be regarded as reading countless people.

But he couldn't see through the sixteen-year-old county lieutenant in front of him!

"The county lieutenant praised it!" Laughing, Zhen Yi said: "It's just a humble house, it's not worth mentioning!" ”

"Please!" Outside the main hall, Zhen Yi stepped aside and invited Yuan Xu inside.

Entering the house with Xiao Zhu, Yuan Xu found that there were not a few tables here.

In the main hall of Nuoda, there were only five low tables, and it was obvious that Zhen Yi did not invite too many Shangcai officials to accompany him.

"Yesterday was an official banquet, and today a private banquet was held to invite the county lieutenant, and he did not invite his colleagues!" Seeing that Yuan Xu was puzzled, Zhen Yi hurriedly said: "The person who accompanies him is also a well-known squire here!" ”

"It's so good, I'm most afraid of those complicated etiquettes in the officialdom!" Yuan Xu looked back and said, "I don't know when the person invited by the county order will come?" ”

"I'll be here early in the morning!"

Zhen Yi's answer made Yuan Xu feel that this banquet was not so simple.

When the new official takes office, it is enough to invite the squire to come and accompany him.

It is also reasonable to accompany the guests earlier, it is not clear whether Yuan Xu will come, the squires are waiting here early in the morning, but it is against common sense!

Pretending to nod deeply, Yuan Xu said to Zhen Yi: "Since this is the case, I hope that the county order will introduce you!" ”

"Someone!" After a call, Zhen Yi instructed the servants in front of him: "Go to the side hall and invite Dong Gong and Xu Gong!" ”

The servant retreated, and Zhen Yi beckoned Yuan Xu and Xiao Zhu to sit down in the house.

The night before, he felt that Yuan Xu was very partial to Xiao Zhu.

Set up a banquet and specially prepare a seat for Xiao Zhu.

Not long after taking their seats, two gorgeously dressed men appeared at the door.

The first person was dressed in a deep coat of red brocade, with silver hair, and was in his sixties, to say the least.

The man in the dark coat in the back is at most in his thirties, and because he is well maintained, he does not even have half a fold on his face.

Robes were the privilege of officials and nobles, and no matter how rich a merchant was, he could only wear a deep coat made of silk.

From the clothes of the two, Yuan Xu has seen that they are not officialdom.

Zhen Yi left his seat and said to Yuan Xu: "These two are the extremely famous Dong Gong and Xu Gong!" ”

Yuan Xu stood up and arched his hand, while Xiao Zhu was still sitting there without raising his head.

"Presumably this is County Lieutenant Yuan!" Entering the house, the two of them made a big salute to Yuan Xu, and the old man in red said: "The little old man is Jia Donghe, a Shangcai businessman, and he has always made a living selling silk goods!" I only heard that the county lieutenant arrived, but I didn't want to be so young and promising! ”

"A certain talent, Dong Gong is worried, I am really scared!" returned the salute, and Yuan Xu responded lightly.

Dong He's name, he had heard Qigou mention it early in the morning.

Shangcai made a thief, and this silk merchant's goods bore the brunt of the robbery, so he should have been targeted early.

As for why he robbed him, Yuan Xu is still unclear.

One day, he would figure out what kind of affair the thief had with the silk merchant who was very famous in Shang Cai.

Dong He and Yuan Xu saluted, and the man in ink then saluted and said: "Down is Cai Gou Pavilion Chief Xu Jigong!" ”

The pavilion chief is in charge of township and village affairs, and his status in the county is very low.

Zhen Yi will invite Xu Jigong to accompany him, which shows that he must have some status in Shangcai officialdom.

Maybe even his influence will extend beyond some of the county officials!

"Pavilion Chief Xu! Long admiration, long admiration! Yuan Xu arched his hand at Xu Jigong again.

After the ceremony, everyone took a seat!

Zhen Yi said to Yuan Xu: "There are many inconveniences in the official banquet, and the banquet is not enjoyable. A certain asked the county lieutenant last night if he had a marriage, and the county lieutenant was afraid that it was misinterpreted! ”

"Although he is young, he also knows what beauty and ugliness are!" Pursing his lips, Yuan Xu said: "Yesterday's dancer was mediocre, if she was taken away immediately, wouldn't it be despised by the county commander and his colleagues?" ”

The words were direct, and Zhen Yi suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"That's it! Is that! Laughing awkwardly, Zhen Yi said: "The dancers at the official banquet are all official slaves, and it is rare to have a good look." There are a few ladies in a certain house, I don't know if the county lieutenant is interested in seeing it? ”

"The song and dance are ready, if you don't see it, wouldn't it be a shame on Zhen County?"

Yuan Xu expressed his willingness to see the dancers in the house, Zhen Yi was immediately overjoyed, and slapped twice at the door.

But there are many people who have hobbies.

Above the officialdom, I'm afraid of that kind of wine that doesn't stick!

As long as there is still an interest in women, it is not difficult to drag this new county lieutenant into the water!

The applause fell, and the three women hired Tingting into the hall.

The first woman was also wearing a big red Luo skirt.

Luo's skirt was wide, and the long skirt swayed behind her, she bowed slightly, first saluted Zhen Yi, and then saluted Yuan Xu and others.

The dancer's face is delicate, her skin is as white as a white jade, and she is delicate as if she can blow blood with a gentle blow.

The two dancers in the back, dressed in pink Luo skirts.

The delicate face is as elegant as the fairy of the Toad Palace under the background of the Luo skirt!

It's really a beautiful country!

The three dancers entered, Dong He and Xu Jigong were stunned, but Yuan Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he didn't pay attention to them at all.

Seeing that his face did not change and was not moved by the female color at all, Zhen Yi's face couldn't help but be a little ugly!

The three dancers who are about to perform are all personally selected and trained by him to entertain the guests.

But every time a visitor saw it, the bones were half crispy, but Yuan Xu didn't even want to take a second look.

What kind of woman does he like?
