Chapter 196: All Nations Come to the Eighth
Honglu Temple is indeed a very idle non-Qingshui Yamen, this place can be described in one sentence, not open for a year, to carry out a year.
Of course, it may be a bit of a philistine to describe it like this, but indeed, which of those envoys from various countries does not pay gold and silver? Paying tribute and paying tribute, naturally it will not be too shivering, after all, they are still counting on Datang to be their backer, so this gift must be good and good, a lot.
So when it comes to paying tribute, how could these envoys from various countries who want to save face even if they are surrounded by family members, how can they be less of this Yamen Honglu Temple that receives them?
Therefore, although this Honglu Temple has no rights, although it eats and waits for death every day, it is good for this point, and the money is fast!
Lai Xianren took Xu Ziling to find his place on duty, this house is more than twice the size of the internal guard, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as extravagant.
This house is very deep, all around for lighting, all without walls, just simply covered with bamboo curtains, in winter on the bamboo curtain to add mink animal hair, but it will not be cold, in summer the bamboo curtain will be lifted, and very cool.
The house sits in the north and faces south, as soon as you enter the door, you can see a long purple wood low leg long table, on which are neatly placed official documents, short brushes, Yantai, and pen holders.
Xu Ziling smiled slightly, this Honglu Temple does not do practical things, but the face of the work is good, just by virtue of this posture, if someone comes, sit upright, pick up the pen and ink, bow his head and ponder, who dares to say that he Honglu Temple does not do things?
As he walked inside, a landscape painting barrier blocked behind Shicai's desk, and a few big words were written on the barrier: The State of Etiquette.
The picture screen was very wide, separating the office area, and it was only then that the two of them bypassed the picture screen.
There was a very large bed in front of me, and I saw that Xianren said with a smile: "Shaoqing makes a pot of hot tea every day after lunch, and then looks at the official documents, and when you are tired, you can rest here, isn't it wonderful?" ”
What to read the official documents, obviously come over to sleep after eating, but here Xianren also said so elegantly, Xu Ziling felt very funny, and understood the good intentions of Xianren, and said: "Well, but it's okay, you also know that you are still very tired on duty!" ”
Lai Xianren's admiration in his heart, he always thought that he was thick-skinned enough, but after meeting Xu Ziling, he felt that he was wrong, very wrong, but his face said with deep approval: "Yes, in order to relieve Xu Shaoqing's fatigue, I specially arranged a maidservant girl for you!" ”
"Ahem...... This isn't quite right, right? Is it compatible with the system? Xu Ziling walked inside again, behind the bed was an open space, but there were several stacks around, and there were many books on the mezzanine, such as "Analects", "The Art of War", "The Mean", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Circumcision", and all kinds of books.
"Our Shaoqing is so busy, there are one or two servants under him, who dares to say anything, I will be the first to disagree!" Lai Xianren said with a righteous face.
Xu Ziling only now knows what it means to be shameless, and it is really aggrieved that Xianren has succumbed to this official position.
Both of them were impressed by each other's cheeks, and after a while, it was time to get under duty, and when Lai Xianren saw the sky, he immediately said: "Shaoqing, I have already arranged the restaurant, I will call a few colleagues in the temple to go together, and I can introduce you to you at that time, and they also want to know you Xu Shaoqing!" ”
"Oh, good!" After knowing the time of dinner from Lai Xianren, Xu Ziling left first.
When I returned home, I talked to Tao'er, and teased Xu Xian'er for a while, this girl is now more and more fond of Xu Ziling, as long as Xu Ziling teases her, the little chubby face will be able to laugh non-stop, it is cute, and it is said that her daughter is her father's lover in her previous life, which is not wrong at all.
Xu Ziling looked at the sky, and then handed the fairy to Tao'er, and the little fairy's reluctant appearance made Xu Ziling cry and laugh.
However, Xu Ziling really can't continue to stay at home, don't let the group of people in Honglu Temple think that he Xu Shaoqing is playing music.
Changed into a round-necked regular clothes, Xu Ziling walked leisurely towards Pingkangfang Zhongqu, and came to the door of "Xingtang Building", which is now almost at curfew time, but the restaurant business is still very hot.
Don't look at Suzaku Street and the East and West Markets, there are many Jin Wuwei patrol night bans, but there are generally few Jin Wuwei in this place, unless it is a day like the Shangyuan Festival, it is generally Wuhou patrolling, this Wuhou guard, naturally there are a lot more favors, as long as the dots are in place, basically there is nothing to do late.
This Wuhou is equivalent to a piece of police, urban management and the like, so the general quality of these people is not very high, and they are basically gangsters on the streets, I am very honored, then Cui Chengjun also joined this ranks recently.
Cui Chengjun was originally invited by Xu Ziling to show the "Xingtang Building", and now he is sitting in such a domineering and rude position as Wuhou, so this "Xingtang Building" is naturally too peaceful to be in Taiping, and its business operation is much later than that of its peers.
Li Chunfeng was really happy to see his owner coming, he hadn't seen Xu Ziling for some days, and after seeing him at this moment, he said very kindly: "The owner hasn't come for a long time, but it's okay?" ”
"Hehe, naturally it's good, you're not bad, look at this appearance, you eat like a pig!" Xu Ziling said with a smile.
Li Chunfeng knew that Xu Ziling was joking with himself, so he smiled and said: "Hehe, if you have won the prize, you all count on the owner, otherwise you won't be able to eat it...... So! ”
Well, in fact, Xu Ziling didn't talk nonsense, he is really fat now, getting fatter and fatter day by day, as if he has become a white and pure fat man.
"Are there a few officials upstairs who have set their seats?" Xu Ziling exchanged a few more words with Li Chunfeng and asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone upstairs looked upstairs, and Xu Ziling saw that it was Xianren, so he ignored Li Chunfeng and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for a long time!" ”
After saying that, he went straight upstairs and saw that there were already more than a dozen people upstairs.
Drink, who said that there are few officials in Honglu Temple, isn't this a big handful?
When those people saw their Shangguan coming, they immediately stood up, smiled all over their faces, and arched their hands: "I've seen Xu Shaoqing."
"Shaoqing is really a talent."
"Shaoqing is really a son."
"Shaoqing is a generation of writers."
“……”
These people are all well versed in sycophants, and even if Xu Ziling is thick-skinned, he feels hot on his face at this moment.
"Sit down, don't be restrained, colleagues, they are all a yamen, that is, their own brothers!" Xu Ziling is not ambiguous, and he fools this group of people with a word.
"Yes, yes, they're all my own brothers!" The men chimed in.
