Vegetarian wine is actually similar to the sweet wine brewed in later generations, the degree is very low, sweet and silky, it contains a large number of beneficial bacteria, of course, the ancients did not understand this, only knew that eating vegetarian wine helps digestion, in the summer, quickly feed a bowl of vegetarian wine, but also relieve the heat, can eat vegetarian wine to get drunk, it is also a strange person.

The long-tested Zheng Guofan remained silent, drank a big sip of vegetarian wine, and looked down on the person next door in his heart.

However, he also knows that the stomach of the ancients is not as good as that of modern people, and the vegetarian wine of Baoguo Temple is sweet and brewed at a high level, but it is equal to the low-concentration beer of later generations, so it has to be used as a cool drink in summer, and it is also for girls to drink. However, people who don't know how to drink alcohol will get drunk with a bottle of low-strength beer, but for Zheng Guofan, this kind of alcohol is pediatric level.

The so-called [three bowls but not post] drunk by the tiger hero Wu Song is just the degree of high-concentration beer in later generations, if the obedient official comes to drink, eighteen bowls down, I'm afraid the first thing is to pee instead of sleeping, but Wu Erye can't do it, as soon as he is blown by the wind, he will immediately go to sleep.

Therefore, Zheng obedient official pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation next door while drinking vegetarian wine, and listened to half of it, full of cold sweat, why do you say, the drunken madman next door is the deputy of Ningbo City Bo Tiju Division who was slapped in the face last time, Hou Xiaobaizi Western, today he took a few of his subordinates to eat food in Baoguo Temple, a few glasses of vegetarian wine, and couldn't help but boast that he wanted to give the Yan family a good look, so that Miss Yan would obediently marry into his Hou family, as for Zheng Guofan, who did not give him Hou to raise face in public, he naturally had to clean it up.

This Hou Tiju drank too much, and his speech was reversed, and the obedient official couldn't wait to put his ears on the wall, but he only vaguely heard something, "Li Shaonan, the envoy of Zhejiang's political secretary...... Pirate King...... Li Yufu ...... Grab the goods of the Yan family......"

However, these words are enough for the obedient official to analyze clearly, and then he understands why the Hou Tiju looked at him up and down on the Yan family's sea boat, his eyes were strange, and the backstage of this Hou Tiju was the Zhejiang political envoy, and this Zhejiang political envoy had a vendetta with the county magistrate of Daxing County, this is the fire at the city gate and the pond fish, he Zheng Guofan hung the identity of the disciple of Shen Bang of Daxing County, how could people not come to retaliate against him.

Sure enough, he was shot while lying down! The obedient official sighed in his heart, but he was not too flustered, if he first arrived in Daming, he heard that the political secretary of a dignified province hated himself and wanted to find trouble for himself, and he was afraid that the first thought was to run away, what kind of joke, Zhejiang and Zhejiang political envoys, that is the governor of Zhejiang Province! Isn't it a matter of seconds to trouble you?

However, he has adapted to it in Daming for more than a month, although the source of the two sentences [Breaking the County Order, Destroying the Door and Assassinating the History] and [Under the Three Trees, Why Can't You Ask for It] are all Ming notes, but his identity is a county school student, although he does not take the imperial court Lu rice, but he is also a scholar who has a court registration and a book, he does not have to pay taxes after completing the grain, he does not have to serve hard labor, he can take over the lawsuit, and he can find a defender to appear in court instead of him if he commits a crime, and the government cannot torture him, even if the governor of a province wants to deal with him, it is not something that can be done casually.

Therefore, although the obedient official is a little worried about this, he does not want to run away first as in the past, and he still has some confidence, you know, although he was a literati before, he was just a fart people, and the status of the literati of the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the representative of the people's congress, and it is also the concept of the representative of the National People's Congress rather than the township people's congress, and even in some aspects, the power of the Ming literati is to surpass that of the people's congress deputies of later generations.

In the past month or so, he has adapted to the change of identity quite quickly, although he has a lot of complaints about the fact that meritorious scholars do not have to pay taxes, and it is useless to scrape money from fart people! The king of the mountain also knows how to rob the rich and help the poor! A huge central empire, it is unreasonable not to find rich people to collect taxes, but only to find ordinary people to collect taxes, and not to be defeated, but at present, he is also a person in the system, and he takes a great advantage by relying on his status as a scholar.

But the Yan family is different, the Yan family is a businessman, although the head of the Yan family [***] also has a reputation, but people themselves don't come forward to find a pirate to rob your Yan family's goods, this thing is not a meritorious name can be avoided, the pirate doesn't care who you are, as long as you have silver, even if you are the king of heaven, you will rob it.

Although he is not very interested in Miss Yan's family, no matter what, the owner of the Yan ship is also quite kind to his Zheng family, and now that he hears the news, how can he not inform the Yan family?

Therefore, he apologized to the two old gentlemen, saying that the late birth home is in Taohuawu outside the city, and the two old gentlemen are publishers.

After speaking, he hurried away, leaving the two old men a little puzzled, where are the ears of these two old men as sharp as him, but he knows the address of the good official, not to mention that the good official speaks beautifully, and he does not hesitate to give advice has come out, the two old gentlemen feel quite face-saving, especially Xiong Damu, who knows that he wrote the historical romance, so he had to call it [There is no hero at the time, so he made the erector famous], and these works of the Three Kingdoms Water Margin cannot be compared. Naturally, it's not good to care about the rudeness of people who run away after drinking half of the wine.

The obedient official left in a hurry, and when he arrived outside the Baoguo Temple, Shan Sinan was holding the package and nibbling on the steamed buns under the big tree outside the temple gate, seeing that his young master was in a hurry, he stuffed the steamed buns into his mouth in two mouthfuls, stood up with the package, and said vaguely: "Young master, why do you eat wine so quickly?" Is this vegetarian dish in Baoguo Temple delicious? I eat this vegetarian steamed bun and make it well. ”

"You know how to eat, but you are with Bajie all the way." The good official was not angry, dragged the little white horse, got on the horse as soon as he turned over, and said to the big head: "You find a carriage to go back, don't be reluctant to pay a few hundred yuan for the carriage, I will go to Yan's house for some things." ”

After he finished speaking, he took the reins, and went to Yan's house, swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns in his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Young master, what's the matter with Yan's house!" Can't we go back first! ”

The big head held the package of eight hundred taels of silver and chased it quickly, but where can the two legs catch up with the four-legged one, not to mention that there are many people in front of the temple, and the obedient official rides a horse and others still dodge, the big head holds the package and has to squeeze in the crowd, three squeezes and two squeezes, in the blink of an eye, the young master is gone, the big head holds the silver and stands at the gate of the temple for a while, and then he finds a carriage, so that he can say that he will send it to the Taohuawu outside the city, one hundred and fifty copper coins, and then he got into the carriage.

The obedient officials over there are naturally not worried about whether the big head will lose the silver or be robbed by others when he is only eleven years old, the Ming Dynasty Wanli year is not so chaotic, it is an exaggeration to say that the Ming Dynasty does not leave behind the road, but the old have been raised and buried or can be said, the first fifteen years of Wanli, known as [Wanli Zhongxing], is the best era since the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

"Matteo Ricci's Chinese Notes" objectively describes the wealth and power of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and it is especially worth mentioning that Matteo Ricci believes that the [scholars] of the Ming Dynasty are equal, that is to say, from the second-rank high-ranking official Li Shaonan and Zheng Guofan, the county scholar of Daxing County, from the starting point of [everyone is a scholar], the two are equal.

And the big head has practiced martial arts with Shan Chixia since he was a child, and he has won the magic of Shan Chixia's swordsmanship, although he is two years younger than the good official, the old spicy swordsmanship is not comparable to the two knives of the good official, and the threat difference around his waist is pulled out, and killing more than a dozen Ningbo idle men Qingpi is basically like playing.

In the era of cold weapons, there were knives in hand, especially those who used knives were still veterans, which was almost equivalent to facing unarmed students with guns in the later Citigroup campus shooting murders. If you can grab the white blade empty-handed, you have to be a master at the level of a sword hero.

Zheng Guofan rode his horse all the way, and arrived at the gate of the Yan family, the little white horse had already run out of sweat, and the horse's endurance was not as good as people imagined, in fact, if the cavalry in the cold weapon era was one person and one horse, and the infantry set off at the same time to march quickly, and the two days of rapid march down, either, the cavalry won but the horse ran away, or, the infantry won, the records of the infantry forcibly marching over the horse abounded in history, and the powerful cavalry was all one person with two horses or even three horses and four horses.

When he arrived at the door of Yan's house, he turned over and dismounted, no one in the Yan family knew that this handsome little official was the old man who wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, and the porter at the door, Yan Xinli, was the son of two generations of the Yan family, and he knew the status of this master in his own heart, so he quickly greeted him, "Zheng Xiaoxianggong, you are ......"

"Feed my little white horse some soybeans......" he flung the reins over, and then asked the porter, "Is Uncle Yan here?" ”

"Oops! Little minister, it's a misfortune that you're here. Yan Xinli smacked his lips, it stands to reason that his master's whereabouts have to be kept secret, but this can't be regarded as an outsider! Therefore, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is a big business, and the master went out yesterday." ”

Dafan this kind of concierge is basically a subordinate who can be used by others, or it is a child of several generations, the so-called prime minister's concierge seven officials, not intimate family, how can he be a concierge.

Looks like it's late. The obedient official frowned, and asked again, "Are the old housekeeper and the young lady there?" ”

"Hmm...... The housekeeper and the young lady are there, but the little minister ...... "Yan Xinli is a little strange, why is this question so strange, the good official didn't have time to explain to him, and said in a stacked voice: "Hurry up and call your old housekeeper and young lady quickly, just say that I have an urgent matter, about the big matter of your Yan family." ”

Although he didn't know what was going on, but looking at the serious expression on this little face, he must not have nothing to entertain himself, so he stretched out his hand and beckoned two servants to come over, and asked them to inform the old housekeeper and the young lady, and he welcomed the obedient official to the living room to sit, and asked the next person to serve fragrant tea.

The Yan family prides itself on being a big man, and the hospitality is made of fried green tea leaves with glass cups, and after eating three bubbles of tea, the taste is light, and the obedient official sees that Miss Yan and the old housekeeper have not yet come, and they are so anxious that they are angry, and they say that your Yan family's genealogy is too big! If it weren't for the good old shipowner, I wouldn't have bothered to bother with your family's affairs!

He was slandering, Yan Qingwei, accompanied by two maids and two big-footed women-in-law, came from the door, strictly observed the etiquette with a straight face, and said ten thousand blessings to him first, and then sat down on the chair pulled by the two big-footed mothers-in-law next to her, but she didn't want to really talk about etiquette, she couldn't come out to meet the good official at all.

"What happened to Zheng Xiaoxiang's father?" Yan Qingwei was dressed in white silk, sitting on a chair with a calm face, "If the Zheng family first arrives in Ningbo, there is a shortage of money, although my father is not there, Qingwei can also make the decision to temporarily take a few hundred taels of silver to Minister Zheng Xiaoxiang, that is, can Zheng Xianggong return Xiaoqian." ”

Lying on the mud horse, the obedient official is angry from the heart, what a young lady who doesn't know how to know how to do it and doesn't understand human feelings, who is impatient to come to your house to borrow silver, you say that, are you slapping me in the face?

He stood up after a moment's time, although this skin was only thirteen years old, but his bearing was already extraordinary, and as soon as his little face sank, he scolded Miss Yan, "Miss thinks I am rare in your family's silver?" If you talk about silver, I heard that Miss's teacher, Mr. Qing Teng, gave Emperor Sejong the "White Deer Table" in the curtain of Hu Xian, and Emperor Sejong liked your teacher's words and articles and rewarded him with 5,000 gold, but is there such a thing? I wrote to Uncle Yan a few days ago "Listening to the Lotus Xiaozhu Occasionally", and I feel that it can also be compared to the ...... of "White Deer Table"

He looked at people with his eyes, and the meaning of his words was that your teacher went to the Bailu table to pat the emperor's fart, which was worth five thousand taels of silver, so the "Listening to the Lotus Xiaozhu Occasionally" I wrote should also be worth three or five thousand silver!

As soon as she said this, Miss Yan was so angry that her delicate body trembled, she was originally fighting with Zheng Guofan, and when she heard this provocation, she added fuel to the fire, her pretty face suddenly turned white, and she got up and said to the two big-footed mothers-in-law on the left and right: "I'm a little tired, send Zheng Xiaoxianggong out of the house!" ”

ps: Wanfu appears again in this chapter, because some readers say that Wanfu is the etiquette of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I have to explain it specifically, "Water Margin" often appears in the woman asking for Wanfu, is the Water Margin a book of the Qing Dynasty?

Again, there will be another chapter tonight, one more every day for the past two days, which is a little less.
