Chapter 101 Hospitality
Purple plum!
As soon as he heard this name, Yue Su immediately recalled that the little girl who was ruthless and wanted to kill herself. Later, Yue Su gave her a copy of the text and a lot of silver, and asked her to come to Hangzhou to find Hanlian's relatives. Unexpectedly, after many years, Zimei was still in Hangzhou, and today she took the initiative to ask to see her.
Since it is an old acquaintance, Lord Yue must be going to meet, by the way, I asked how Zimei is doing, and if you can find Hanlian's relatives. Yue Su immediately passed the word and asked the messenger to take Zimei to the back hall to talk.
After a while, the messenger reported that Zimei was waiting to see her outside. Yue Su said "please", and then saw a young man and a man in his thirties walking into the second hall.
The woman is dressed as a Yinren, she looks as beautiful as a flower, graceful and graceful, this is not the little girl Zimei back then, I didn't expect it to be more charming than back then. The man who came in with her, the long Si Swenwen, the seven-foot figure, the dignified table, stood with Zimei, but it was a perfect match. However, through his clothes, Yue Su could see that this man should not be a literati, but a businessman.
After the two entered the door, they both knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Zimei knocks to see Lord Yue." "The grass people knock to the Governor."
"Hurry up, someone, take a seat." Yue Su said gently.
An errand officer moved the chair and asked Zimei and the man to sit down. After the two of them sat down, Yue Su said, "Zimei, after many years, how are you doing now?" ”
"Thanks to the blessing of the adult, Zimei is very good now, and she has a family." As she spoke, Zimei looked at the man on the other side and said softly, "This is the clumsy man, Shangguan Ming." ”
After Zimei finished speaking, the man stood up again, bowed to Yue Su, and said: "The villain Shangguan Ming, I often hear Zimei say that the adults had a life-saving grace for her back then, and they are so grateful in their hearts, and they have never been able to repay it. See you today, the villain has replaced Lord Zimei. ”
"It's a lot of effort, so much to worry about. And back then, Zimei also helped me a lot, if it wasn't for her help, I wouldn't have been able to solve that case. The person who should say thank you is actually the official. Sit down quickly, no need to be polite. Yue Su said politely.
"Thank you, sir." Shangguan Ming sat back in his chair.
At this time, Yue Su said again: "Zimei, you came to Hangzhou with this governor's letter back then, looking for Hanlian's relatives, and now you have found it." If you haven't found the starter yet, Bendo is here to help. ”
"Thank you for your concern, Hanlian relatives, I have found it, it is an old gentleman surnamed Zhu. The old gentleman was very kind, and accepted me as a righteous daughter, Han Lian is really lucky to have such a father. I also relied on her blessing to be able to find such a righteous father. Han Lian said softly.
"That's good, that's good...... You've been in Hangzhou for a few years, I don't know when you became a parent? Yue Su said like a homely person.
"This may have been fate, that year I first went to Hanlian's grave to worship, and then came to Hangzhou. Because of your official letter, the prefect of Hangzhou was very enthusiastic and immediately posted a list to help me find someone. But the sea of people is vast, Han Lian has been separated from her father for so long, how can it be so easy to find, after living in the prefect's yamen for a few days, I moved to live in the inn, the owner of this inn, that is, my current husband. I lived in the inn for a while, maybe I was not adapted, I had a serious illness, I had no relatives here, but it happened that this matter was known by my husband, he found Langzhong, meticulously took care of me, I two fell in love for a long time, and after I recovered, they got married. It was also a good thing, not two days after I got married, the prefect yamen informed me, saying that Han Lian's father went to the prefect's yamen to recognize people and was waiting for me. I took out the only token left by Hanlian, and after Yiyin's father saw it, he asked me about Hanlian's situation, and I told the truth that the old gentleman was in tears. He learned that I was like a sister to Han Lian, and he wanted to accept me as a righteous daughter, he was Han Lian's father, and he was kind, how could I not agree. Yiyin's father was very good to me, like his own daughter, he went on business with other places, but he came to Hangzhou once a year to see me, talk to me, and bring me a lot of good things. "Zimei's situation after coming to Hangzhou is a once-in-the-art one.
After saying this, Zimei continued: "When my lord first arrived in Hangzhou, the people had already heard about it, and they had already thought of coming to visit. But I learned that the adults were busy with affairs, and they had to try cases every day, so they didn't come to the door immediately. Wait until the adults are busy before they dare to come to the door. The people are here, there is a reluctant request, I wonder if the adults can fulfill it? ”
"Oh?" Yue Su smiled on his face and said, "You and I are old acquaintances, and when we meet in Hangzhou today, we can say that we have met in a foreign country." But if you have some trust, you might as well say bluntly, if this governor can do it, a definition will not tolerate it. ”
"Actually, it's nothing else, I just want to invite adults to our inn for a light meal. When Zimei got married, she didn't have any family around her, and she always regretted that she was the only friend of Zimei now, and even if it was Zimei's mother's family. So Zimei has this reluctant invitation, and wants to invite the adults to fulfill Zimei's wish. Zimei said sincerely.
"What should I do, I want to invite the governor to dinner, and the governor must appreciate such a good thing. Whatever day you intend to set, the Governor will come as promised. Yue Su said.
"The adults have always been busy with public affairs, how dare the people make their own decisions, it is better for the adults to choose a day, and then Zimei will definitely prepare a banquet and wait in the store." Zimei said.
"Well......" Yue Su pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's book it after five days, this governor has some official affairs on hand recently, and he should be able to finish it in five days." ”
"Well, after the fifth day, it will be the twentieth of this month, and the people must be at home to prepare. By the way, my lord, the humble man's inn, the name is Yunkuo Inn, although it cannot be said to be the best inn in Hangzhou, but it is not bad. The chefs in the store are first-class, so you can make sure that after you have eaten it, you will want to do it next time. Zimei said softly.
"Well, the Governor will be here as promised."
The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, Zimei and Shangguan Ming got up to say goodbye, and Yue Su personally sent them off and sent them out of the house. Why did Yue Su say that he would go to the banquet five days later, it was really because he still had some official affairs on hand, and he had to meet guests in the past two days.
Who is the guest he wants to see, it has been mentioned in the previous document that it is Sun Chan, the eunuch in charge of the sixth room of the East Factory, and Peng Miao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Of these two, one was transferred by Zhang Yan to the eunuch of the Zhejiang Water Division, and the other was promoted to the deputy general of the Zhejiang Water Division. The two rushed to Shangyin, Yue Su had just received the arrival report, and the people had reached the ground in Hangzhou, and they would be able to enter Hangzhou City in less than three days.
Yue Su couldn't be clearer about the intentions of these two, and this was also sent by Empress Dowager Zhang to supervise herself. But he is not afraid of shadows, and he is in charge of Yindu, so what can he do?
Two days later, on the third day, there was a report from the envoys that Sun Chan, the superintendent of the water division, and Peng Miao, the deputy general of the water division, had come to see the governor. The two of them used to be one of Dongchang and the other was Jinyiwei, so if they were ordinary governors, they would definitely go out to greet them in person. However, when it came to Lord Yue, Lord Yue only said, "Please invite the two of you to the back hall to talk." ”
Sun Chan and Peng Miao can also be regarded as thundering, usually released as supervisors and deputy generals, they are all fat and poor, no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it, but this is to work under the 'King Yue Yanyin', Lord Yue's temper, as a mixed in Jingyin City, is quite understanding, whoever dares to offend, will first Yinyin's own neck. is also supervising his people, if he dares to say and do, maybe his head will be gone, and he will really have eight lifetimes of mold on this kind of drudgery.
The two of them came to the back hall with the messenger, and after seeing Lord Yue, they saluted first, and Yue Su was polite and asked the two to sit down and talk. The two of them sat down with a smile on their faces, and then listened to Yue Su say: "Sun Jianjun, Deputy General Peng, Zhejiang Sailor has your help, it is really a blessing for the Sailor." ”
"The lord has a good reputation, and it is really a great blessing for me to be on an errand under the command of the adult. I came to see the adults today, mainly because I wanted to hear the teachings of the adults. Sun Chan and Peng Miao said with a sneer.
"I really don't dare to take the words of teaching. Everyone is doing errands for the emperor, and they are fulfilling their duties. The Yamen of the Navy Division is now located in Yuhang, and the Governor will send someone to send the two to meet with the chief soldier Zheng Zhilong. General Zheng can also be regarded as a hero of the Yin world, commanding the sailors to win a lot of battles, but people who have the ability are usually very proud. Yue Su said unhurriedly.
"Yes, yes...... The little ones must obey Lord Yue's orders. Sun Chan said cautiously. That's what he said, but Sun Chan understood that this was just Lord Yue's politeness, and if he really dared to point fingers, he was likely to be charged with a crime such as delaying a military plane and losing his head. It's not easy to do this overseer.
"General Peng, you are the backbone of the Jinyi Guard, the Governor has always heard that the Jinyi Guard is strict in governing the army, and General Peng is also a strict person when he wants to come. After arriving at the Sailor Division, General Peng must, as always, train the officers and soldiers of the Sailor Division in Jinyiwei, and never slack off. Yue Su looked at Peng Miao and said.
When Peng Miao was in Jinyiwei before, he was a good hand at eating and taking cards, but when it came to training, he didn't know anything. Now that Lord Yue said this, he could only agree repeatedly, "Yes, yes...... The last general will strictly follow the instructions of the commander and must be strict in governing the army. ”
"Okay, this governor has nothing to say, I will rest in Hangzhou for one night today, and you will go to Yuhang tomorrow." Come on, take the two of you down to rest, and entertain them, don't be lazy. ”
Yue Su sent the two away lightly, and these two guys naturally didn't want to stay by Yue Su's side longer, and the next morning, under the guidance of Yue Su's escorts, they went to the Yamen of the Yuhang Water Division.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed, and the next day was the day when Yue Su went to Yunkuo Inn for a banquet.
