Listening to what Li You said, Master Huang smiled and said: "Are you a fool when you are the county lord, anyone can see that the county is deliberately exaggerating and deliberately taking the opportunity to rectify you. ”

"It's right, it's right, it's wrong, it's also the master and the master who will teach you a lesson, where is the turn of others to gossip!" Li You said unusually firmly, vomiting eighteen times in disgust. Helpless, to have a position, the attitude must be correct, and the thighs must be tightened.

Li You took a lot of effort to settle the accident, and before he saw that Zhixian issued a notice card again, he was appointed as the deputy envoy of the river engineering office, and his heart was happy, and he began to calculate what to do after he had the money. In addition, under the care of Chen Zhixian, Li You's nephew Li Zheng passed the county examination and went home happily to prepare for the government examination in the second half of the year.

After that, a small poem circulated in the county government of Xujiang County: "The aunt who speaks in vain listens to it, and her saliva is as thin as silk." Zhou Gong is tired of being an official language, and loves to learn from his aunt to make right and wrong. ”

Clear-eyed people knew who made it up, and Aunt Zhou's nickname spread, and she said that Zhou County's Cheng Cheng would not go out of the official house to see people, and he was furious and ordered the officials to picket the matter, but no one refused to work hard.

If you think about it, you know that Zhou Xiancheng will leave after a few years, and Li You has been in the public for several generations, so why bother to offend. Besides, Li You is valued by the eldest master, and Zhou Xiancheng can't help others in comparison.

Zhou Xiancheng couldn't help but scold the officials for really despising the scoundrels, and then he simply went to Nanjing under the pretext of going on business.

It was the middle of June, and the weather was hot, but Li You had to go out of the city early in the morning and stand in a daze.

Because when the senior doctor of the second grade of the dynasty and the secretary of the military department, Mr. Lu, returned to his hometown of Xujiang County. Speaking of which, this Lu Shangshu is the highest-ranking official in the county in recent years, although he is not a very popular minister, but he is also the peak of the civil official class, and his hometown in the north of the county is called Shangshu Township.

At the ferry port ten miles outside the east of the county seat, the county's high-level officials came to greet them, as well as miscellaneous positions such as classics and history, county school instructors, as well as scholars and fathers' representatives, almost 30 people. Including the three Jiupin inspections that Li You has never met since he became a pawn, the inspection is a military attaché, and this is back to the military department in charge of the inspection department, of course, he has to come forward to welcome him.

It has been reported that the day before yesterday, the old man had a banquet in Suzhou Mansion, stayed at the Lanzhou Water Station yesterday, and is expected to arrive in Xujiang County this morning.

Everyone was chatting and waiting, and suddenly a strong man with good eyesight shouted: "It's coming!" ”

Together, they looked into the distance, and saw two big boats in the distance on the river, and when they got closer, they clearly saw the sign of Shangshu on the boat in front of them, and sure enough, this was it.

The official ship stopped on the shore, and everyone on the shore bowed their heads.

Lu Shangshu, who had snow-white hair, came out of the cabin, standing on the deck in a big red vermilion robe very eye-catching, and he said from afar: "I went back to my hometown and province, and I was shocked that my father and old man were restless, so you don't need to be polite." ”

Chen Zhixian replied: "When the old man returns home, the officials and people of this county are all looking forward to it. The lower official dared to invite the old man to the mansion to rest, and prepare a little wine to relieve the pain of the wind and dust. ”

After answering in a short time, Mr. Lu returned to the cabin, and the official ship continued to sail in the direction of the county seat, and was expected to get off the boat at Beiguan Wharf and take a sedan chair.

As soon as the people on the shore waited and returned the same way, no one dared to complain. Li You sighed, at this time, even Chen Zhixian, who has always been reserved, is like a dog, and the husband should be like this... Pity.

Back at the county office, Li You gulped down a pot of tea to quench his thirst. But I saw a doorman come in, handed Li You a post, and said enviously: "Mr. Li has a good night to drink, the eldest man specially named you to go, everyone in the yamen is envious, and the old man is full of kindness to Mr. Li." ”

It turns out that this is a post for Mr. Lu's dust-washing banquet tonight, and only with this post can you enter the county mansion. Li You, the purpose of Chen Zhixian's roll call, understood very well, and he had to hurry up and get a few poems for the occasion in advance, and most of the banquets would have these entertainments. This is the first time he has participated in the official banquet, and Zhu Shilang couldn't be counted two months ago, but he was attended.

There is a garden in Xujiang County Mansion, which is a famous garden in Suzhou Prefecture, the water in the garden is diverted into a lake, and the construction is extremely Seiko everywhere, and Lu Shangshu stayed in the garden. There is a pavilion in the garden, built on the water by the lake, the title of the flower pavilion, very wide, tonight's feast is placed here.

At dusk, Li You entered the Heyuan, which was similar to Grandma Liu's entry into the Grand View Garden. was led to the water pavilion, but he shivered violently, only to feel that the cool air was pressing, as if he was in late autumn.

Looking at it, there are more than a dozen large shallow ice basins placed on the four sides, with ice cubes inside, and if they melt, some servants will remove and replace them with new ones. Not only that, but there are also several one-person high wheel-style items behind the ice basin, each with several fan blades in the round wheel, and a handle at the back, each round wheel rotates the fan under the vertical of the two people, and the ice cubes are cooled to the banquet in the middle. In addition, I also saw twenty or thirty female musicians waiting in a line, each holding a pipa, a qin, a flute, a tooth board and other musical instruments.

This is just the scene when he was not seated, and Li You was dumbfounded. There is actually an artificial air conditioner in these years? It's going to cost a lot of money, and I really don't know where the ice comes from this big summer. There is also a band of dozens of people to help the fun, what is luxury, according to this, it can be seen that these people have been calculating how to spend if they can earn a few hundred taels of silver, but compared with this kind of scene, it is simply silver slag.

The guests gradually came, most of them were local gentry and celebrities, and Li You didn't recognize them, so he only chatted with Master Huang and Wang Zhubo there. The writers who invited to accompany the wine also arrived, and they made a bunch of gossips around the top character Yao Xing'er, and from time to time there were a few people who took their eyes to pick up the famous Li You Li Dianshi of the Qinglou.

While he was talking, someone took the initiative to find Li You's group of people and got acquainted: "But Mr. Huang and life are only as good as the first time I saw Mr. Li?" "Poor Wang Zhu Bo was automatically ignored.

This is a middle-aged man who looks gentle and bright, and is very friendly.

Master Huang wanted to take the shelf, so Li You replied on his behalf: "It's the two of us, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

The man arched his hand and said: "In Xia Xue Yuanqing, I have been wandering in a foreign country for half a year, and I have no luck to get acquainted with the two gentlemen, so I will be a good host, and please enjoy the two gentlemen." ”

Hearing this name, Master Huang from outside may not know, but Li You does. Xue Yuanqing also passed the examination that year, but he failed twice in the examination, so he gave up his studies and started business, and his business was very good, earning tens of thousands of furniture, and he was a famous Confucian businessman in Xujiang County.

"To be able to get to know Master Xue is what I want." Li You agreed politely.

took the time to introduce the origin of Xue Yuanqing to Master Huang, and Master Huang nodded and said: "It is no accident that such a big merchant is only looking for you and me, it must have smelled it." ”

After Xue Yuanqing, two or three more people came to get acquainted with each other, and Li You entertained them one by one. Some people even blatantly said: "I heard that Mr. Li is elegant and affectionate, and I have a number of beautiful memories in my family, and I would like to ask Mr. to appreciate and evaluate one or two." ”

Li You scolded this person in his heart for not being able to speak, and he was so naked, master, am I the reputation of this pervert.

The royal lord Bo teased: "Li Dianshi's lust is a gentleman's lust because of love? Or is the villain's lust more than politeness? ”
