Mrs. Shen's birthday was held on March 27 as scheduled, and it was very lively on the day, adhering to the traditional banquet rules: no invitation, no refusal. Anyone who comes will be greeted as long as they say "congratulations".

It's just that the treatment is different.

Ordinary neighbors don't have to give gift money, and they have their own flowing water seats in the courtyard outside. You can also see meat, but not much. If the gift money is sealed, there are different treatments such as two halls, partial halls, flower halls, and main halls according to the size of the amount. The dishes are also different, I really don't know whether to count it as "strict etiquette" or "talk about money".

The reception in the main hall is a local squire and business partners with heads and faces, which is the business of the Shen family, so the old lady sits in the town and Shen Benjing accompanies him.

Xu Yuanzuo and the Shen family sat in the flower hall, which was considered their own family, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, accompanied by Shen Benwu. Unexpectedly, but it is reasonable that Shen Yujun did not sit in the flower hall with the women, but in men's clothes.

The positions of Xu Yuanzuo and Xu Liangzuo are neither high nor low, which is in line with the identity of relatives, and several Shen clan relatives are also ranked according to generation. Among them, there are one or two young children, who seem to have doubted the purpose of Xu Yuanzuo and Liangzuo brothers here, and they have a lot of tentative intentions.

They didn't think that Shen Yujun would recruit a son-in-law, but they were afraid that someone with a foreign surname would succeed the Shen family and cut off their own plans.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't know Shen Tingyang's origin, but with his subtle observation of people, he didn't think that there were talented people among these teenagers. The so-called three-year-old looks big and seven-year-old looks old, they are already young people in their twenties, and their habits have been set to death.

-- In order to prevent you from causing trouble, even if you kill the anti-Qing heroes, you can't take care of it.

- Anyway, with me, I don't need him to resist the clearing.

Xu Yuanzuo was ready, modeled after the banquet in Taibai Mansion that day, and took the initiative to play poetry and other literary drama wine orders.

The Shen family's clan brothers may have read some books, and they can handle some field business on weekdays. If you want to play this, you can only stare dryly. was crushed by Xu Yuanzuo, and he could only sit and drink sullen wine with a gray face.

Xu Yuanzuo prepared some harsh jokes, just waiting for Shen Shizi to lose his breath and start to provoke words, just in time to pay tribute to the past.

Who knew that these Shen sons were frightened by Xu Yuanzuo's aggressiveness, let alone provocation. Don't even dare to say a word of disrespect. Words must use honorific titles, and words must be humble, but Xu Yuanzuo was stunned.

Shen Yujun thought that Xu Yuanzuo was deliberately trying to embarrass these clan relatives, so that they would have no face, so as to keep her family business from flowing out, and she felt sorry in her heart and never went to dismantle the stage.

Shen Benwu is the most respectful and the master, but unfortunately he was impressed by Xu Yuanzuo's erudition as soon as he came. It is right to see what Xu Yuanzuo does, let alone speak for his clan relatives.

Xu Yuanzuo unconsciously called the little overlord, and when the feast was dispersed and the cold wind blew, he woke up: Fortunately, there is no one on the other side who has the talent to learn, otherwise he will accidentally become a typical example of being slapped in the face instead of pretending to be forced! It seems that if there is a heart of confrontation in everything, it will fall behind, and the ancients will not deceive me.

Just when Xu Yuanzuo was about to keep a low profile and end this contact with the Shen family. But I heard some noise outside.

Soon, the noise spread from far and near, throughout the entire Shen family's garden.

At this time, the feast will be dispersed. In the flower hall, because Xu Yuanzuo was sharp, he dispersed early, but the adults and squires in the main hall were still drinking and talking, and even they were alarmed.

Qi Miao came out of the crowd and whispered to Xu Yuanzuo: "Brother Zuo, there is an official errand here." I heard that the official document I brought was not a birthday greeting. ”

Xu Yuanzuo frowned, and said secretly: Could it be that the Shen family has offended someone and deliberately wants to make trouble on the old lady's sixtieth birthday?

There were more than one people who thought about it, and Shen Yujun's face was already as white as frost. Quickly run towards the main hall.

Xu Yuanzuo followed, but he didn't want to be dug up before he had just planted the seeds and sprouted. Although Qi Miao is not very powerful, seeing that Xu Yuanzuo is so attentive, he knows that he can't catch up, so he simply sneaks into the crowd to inquire about the news.

For a while, people were like tigers, and the entire Shen Mansion shook.

When Xu Yuanzuo arrived at the main hall, he was only one step behind Shen Yujun, and before he heard a word, he saw that everyone's eyes fell on him.

- Could it be that Xu Kun's fight to death has stabbed out the fact that I took the lead in blackmailing him?

Xu Yuanzuo quickly flashed a thought, and quickly dispelled it: the possibility is too low.

So he asked, with the reaction of a normal fourteen-year-old teenager, "What's going on?" ”

Old lady Shen crossed the crowd and beckoned to him: "Yuan Zuo, come here, these two officials said they were looking for you." ”

Xu Yuanzuo coughed dryly, and was about to take a step, when he saw that everyone in front of him avoided both sides and made way for a way. People who didn't know who "Xu Yuanzuo" was also found by Xu Yuanzuo. In the eyes, there is pity, worry, schadenfreude, happy to see farce, and so on.

For Xu Yuanzuo, these eyes fell on him, but they stimulated a hot current in his body, surging all over his body, his whole body was comfortable, and his mind became more and more sober.

"I don't know what the two officials are looking for Xu?" Xu Yuanzuo took the posture of Yuan Yuanzuo's grandson, neither humble nor arrogant.

The two glanced at each other and said, "You are Xu Yuanzuo, the head of the county trial case in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo was not worried about his fraud being detected at all, because the county test was already very sloppy, and it was not a problem for the county officials to order whom. What's more, I have acted well on my side, and there are witnesses up and down, where will there be mistakes?

"Exactly." Xu Yuanzuo straightened his chest.

The old man among the two officials stepped forward and said loudly: "I respectfully serve: Zhejiang is the deputy envoy of the Procuratorial Envoy Department, the commander learns the Tao, and the official is ordered by the master of Chunlin, and Xu Yuanzuo, a child from Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, to participate in the Taoist examination in the Chengxue Palace of Shaoxing Prefecture. After that, the two took out the card and handed it to Xu Yuanzuo, and asked him to sign and take it back.

Most of the people have not taken the imperial examination, and there are quite a few people who don't know why the Zhejiang Ti Society asked Xu Yuanzuo to pass the examination.

Among them, there was a master who came to congratulate him on behalf of the county order, and seeing that there were many opinions, it was a good opportunity to show his image, so he coughed lightly, stood up, and said: "Wen Heng only transferred Xu Gongzi alone?" He was afraid that others would not know the meaning of "Wen Heng", so he pretended to be asked for advice, and explained to the left and right in a low voice: "Wen Heng is the nickname of the great master, and he is the master of learning." ”

The two officials looked at each other again, but shook their heads and said, "The two of us are only responsible for passing orders to Xu Yuanzuo." ”

Old lady Shen didn't know where she glanced at her son Shen Benjing. Shen Benjing hurriedly came out with a smile and said, "The two officials sit down, the journey is tiring, and drink tea." As he spoke, he put two pieces of silver into his hands.

The official knew the weight, so he sat down and drank tea according to his words, and said kindly: "I don't know if I have mentioned other people, but I haven't seen any other signs sent out." (To be continued......)
