Yan Hong approached the door, but saw that there was only a substitute servant in his thirties at the door, squatting next to him to rest, and the water and fire sticks leaned weakly to the side. Seeing that someone was coming, he didn't see it clearly for a while, and said casually: "Fellow, the master is eating, let's come when I want to avenge my grievances." After speaking, I saw that it was Yan Qianhu who was at the post station yesterday, and my eyes couldn't help but widen.

Yan Hong smiled: "It's okay, I'm just going to take a look, it's just right at this time." Dare to ask this brother's surname? ”

The official was of medium stature, and he was also very thin, but his eyes were elf. Seeing that Yan Hong was so polite, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I've seen a thousand masters." The younger one's name is Haiping, and he is the younger brother of my master, because he received the favor of his master when he was a child, so he followed him here and became an entourage. ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "But it's rare." I look at the life of the Yamen in Chun'an County, and it is also very hard. ”

Haiping smiled bitterly: "If you want to see it, come with me." ”

So Haiping took Yan Hong and Liang Rufei into the yamen, but saw that in the courtyard on the left, more than a dozen officials were having lunch. In the distance, I heard a snoring sound of Sili. When I got closer, everyone was holding a large bowl of porridge that was neither thick nor thin, and there was a pot of boiled vegetables and a plate of salted dried radishes on the ground in the middle. These servants all ate quite deliciously.

Yan Hong took a breath and was about to speak, not wanting Hu Baiqi to come out at some point, so he shouted, "Oh, just eat this?" My groom eats better than this! This guy surnamed Hai treats his subordinates too harshly! ”

A young official glanced at the few people who came, and found that it was the guy who made trouble at the post station yesterday, and couldn't help but shiver. But seeing Yan Hong's smile, he was bold again, and complained: "Who said no, two meals a day are gruel and pickles, and I live a miserable life." ”

But he looked at a middle-aged official on the side and said: "Be content, it's good to eat." The grandfather ate these two dishes himself, and the porridge he drank was also scooped out of our pot, without adding a spoonful of rice! His old lady doesn't have more than half a piece of shallots mixed with tofu! In our porridge pot, he also added his own rice! ”

Hu Baiqi said: "This kind of pig and dog food, you might as well go home for dinner." ”

The young servant said, "Go home and eat? Son, you are always full of men and don't know that hungry men are hungry, this should be cut by Master Hai, go home and drink the northwest wind? ”

Another catcher said: "We can't do it, it's okay." That Li Zhuangshi Li Kunpeng, who is a good martial artist, can go to a wealthy businessman and young master to make a nursing home, and he is also fragrant and spicy. The raw ones follow Master Hai, two bowls of dry rice and a plate of pickles for each meal, which is really weird. ”

Hu Baiqi pouted: "He deserves it." ”

Yan Hong said again: "Yesterday in the post station, didn't you pay a fine of sixty taels of silver to the warehouse, you can always buy a few catties of meat and improve it." ”

The middle-aged official said: "Sir, do you think the confiscated silver is for us to eat?" ”

Hu Baiqi said angrily: "Could it be that the one surnamed Hai wants to be swallowed alone? Even if he eats the big head, it's not too much to give you some soup. ”

The middle-aged official said, "How can this be? These are really put into storage, and local roads and bridges are repaired to help the poor. Haiping interjected: "Even our lord has some classmates in the county school, as well as the same year of the township test, sometimes come to visit, see our lord is hard, leave some silver, and the lord also uses it for local affairs." ”

Yan Hong heard what these two officials said, combined with the old man in the small shop, and the thin appearance of Hai Rui yesterday, he concluded that this was true. It seems that Hai Rui is really a monster with two sleeves and a breeze. After all, in the face of Zhang Juzheng's assessment, it is one thing to say "depose the Qing officials and reuse capable personnel", but it is another thing to really face a clean official who does not think about himself at all. Moreover, in his theory of deposing Qing officials, he mainly refers to Qing officials who have raised their own hopes for fame and fame, not Qing officials in the real sense of Hai Jui.

A few people left the group of officials who were drinking porridge and walked to the door of the lobby. I saw that the inside and outside of the lobby were also very dilapidated, and even the county magistrate's official case had fallen off the paint, and the cloth cover on the chair may still be left by the previous county magistrate. Although it is said that the official does not repair the yamen, but looking at the appearance of this house is about to collapse, it is really too much, and I am really worried that the sea pen holder will be stoned to death in the yamen.

Haiping asked, "Sir, do you want to go to the back study?" The grandfather and the lady were accompanying the old lady to dinner, and after eating, they came out to meet the guests. Even if the chief goes in at this time, it doesn't matter, and the master usually instructed us that if anyone comes to fight a lawsuit, we will not restrict him from eating and sleeping, and report it immediately. ”

Yan Hong said: "No need. Hai Dayin is upright and selfless, and he is dedicated to governing the government, and this lunch is a rare time to be friendly, but it is better not to disturb. Haiping, I want to wait for this time tomorrow, come to visit the county government again, and invite Hai Dayin to have a light meal. Please come back. But he said in his heart, Hai Rui has an old mother, but there is also a wife, I don't know how his wife was unlucky to marry such a poor ghost Zhixian.

Haiping said: "This is the good intentions of the chief, but my grandfather has a strange temper and dislikes extravagant arrangements the most." He is feasting on the peak, at most four dishes and one soup. If the chief brings the delicacies of the mountains and seas, I am afraid that the lord will be displeased, but then he will be sad. ”

Yan Hong said with a smile: "Don't worry, although my Yan family is rich, I am not the one who blindly boasts of luxury." We'll find out tomorrow. Besides, if Hai Dayin is not surprised, please ask the old lady and his wife and children to join him. After that, he said goodbye to Liang Rufei and Hu Gongzi, and left the yamen.

Halfway through, Hu Baiqi said: "Brother Yan Shi, do you really want to be close to that sea pen stand?" This kind of guy who doesn't get oil and salt into it doesn't do much good to provoke it. Besides, his background is too low, his position is not a person, what kind of reputation has nothing to do with him, and it is difficult to be regarded as a person in the upper and lower streams no matter what. ”

Yan Hong scolded in his heart, it is really rotten wood that cannot be carved. said on his lips: "Brother Hu, you don't know anything." Today's wealth and wealth are all based on our ancestors and fathers. Although this Hai Rui has a strange temper, he is famous for his own cultivation. Although he is only a county order today, how do you know the future of the future? He wanted to beat you at the post station before, and it wasn't disrespectful to Hu Duxian, otherwise why would he accuse you of being an impostor first? Since we want to do great things, we must also make good friends with such people. ”

When Hu Gongzi saw Yan Hong say this, although he didn't think so, he couldn't talk about it anymore.

When the group returned to the post station, Yan Hong asked Wang Cuiqiao how she was doing? Lu Zhu said that after drinking the medicine prescribed by Li Shizhen, he had stopped coughing and fell asleep. Yan Hong also rested in his room. He called Yan Fu and ordered him to go into the city and procure such things in preparation for inviting Hai Rui to dinner tomorrow. After the order was finished, he couldn't help but get tired and came up, and fell asleep.

When I slept until dinner, I got up to see Wang Cuiqiao, drank the medicine again, and my spirit was already better. When everyone finished dinner, they saw Li Shizhen coming back with a few herbs in his hands.

Yan Hong hurriedly ordered Mr. Li to cook. Li Shizhen didn't care about eating, so she went to give Wang Cuiqiao another number of pulses, and nodded after reading it: "This lady, the pulse is three points better than this morning." It seems that her body is strong, and I am afraid that it will not take three or four days to recover as before. So he reopened a prescription, which was one or two more or less than the one in the morning, and ordered him to grab it again and decoction it. Then I happily went back to the room to sort out the results of today's medicine collection.

At this time, Yan Hong took out the affection of his "younger brother", and served tea and poured water beside Wang Cuiqiao diligently, completely ignoring the displeasing eyes of Lu Zhu and others. Speaking of today's visit to the county yamen, especially the poverty of Hai Rui and his subordinates, Wang Cuiqiao sighed: "Hey, if my sister and my family were framed, but they met this Hai Daren as a parent official, maybe it would not be where it is today." Brother Hong, you will entertain Hai Dayin on behalf of your sister tomorrow. ”

Yan Hongxin said, sister, if you really met Hai Rui, most likely you would not have ended up in such a miserable end. However, according to Hai Rui's style, if it was not Lin Yangqian but Hai Rui who caught Xu Hai today, I think his old man would behead the Japanese on the spot, and he would not ask for any holy decree at all, so you just wait to remarry.

The next day is the day of the treat. In the morning, Dan saw a team of people and horses, swept into Chun'an County, and went straight to the Yamen. At the head were Yan Feng and Yan Fu, followed by Liang Rufei and Wang Ting accompanying Yan Hong. Behind them, there were dozens of temporary recruits, some carrying burdens, some carrying boxes, and the pomp was very large. The last is Liu Lian with eight Jinyi Guard captains to press the formation.

The people of Chun'an were all shocked, and they helped the old and the young to come to the road to watch. I heard that it was the grandson of Yan Ge who came to visit Master Hai, and couldn't help but be amazed: "It is worthy of being the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, such a spectacular, I don't know how much silver it will cost!" "There is also a group of smart people who are snickering in their hearts. Yan Hong saw that they were all happy, and he only said that the people loved Hai Rui, but he didn't think about it.

When he entered the yamen, he saw Hai Pingfei running in to say goodbye. After a stick of incense, I saw Hai Rui wearing the patched official uniform and stepping out unhurriedly. Yan Hong wanted to fly off his horse and salute forward: "Yan Hong has seen Hai Dayin. ”

Hai Rui also bowed as a courtesy: "Yan Huhou, you have to work." ”

Yan Hong said: "Yan was ordered by the governor of Lu Dadu to go to Jiangnan on a business trip, and was forced to disturb Chun'an for a few more days because he was sick with his entourage. Factors to admire Hai Dayin is honest and honest, upright, and admires it very much, so today I take the liberty to borrow this county treasure land and invite Dayin and the old lady and Mrs. family to have a light meal. Please forgive me for being rude. ”

Hai Rui heard Yan Hong praise him for being honest and upright, and his thin face was slightly filled with a little joy, and then he was bland, and said calmly: "Since Yan Huhou has this good intention, as long as he does not violate the etiquette of the imperial court, it is okay for Taizu to leave a legacy." "Please." ”

Yan Hong hurriedly said: "Da Yin, please first." He had expected Hai Jui to say, "So side by side?" He said again, "That's right." Then Harry tugged at his sleeve and kissed the two of them together.

Who knew that Hai Rui nodded directly and said, "It's also made." As soon as he turned around, he really went to the yamen first. Yan Hong was angry and funny in his heart. But it's a small deal for an insurance salesman. So he followed him with a hippie smile.
