Chapter 2 Four Divisions and Six Bureaus

The four divisions and six bureaus are the general name of the private service organizations that specialize in organizing ceremonial banquets, and they have everything they need for the banquet, from tables, chairs, utensils, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, to spices, tables and candles, cups, plates, and bowls......

Among them, the four divisions are divided into, the accounting division, the kitchen division, the tea and wine division and the table plate division.

The six bureaus are: Fruit Bureau, Honey Frying Bureau, Vegetable Bureau, Oil Candle Bureau, Aroma Medicine Bureau and Arrangement Bureau.

Because there is a lot of overlap in the work of the Fourth Division and the Sixth Bureau, it is only necessary to invite one family to hold a banquet, and their appearance saves a lot of energy for the banquet family.

Wen Shu is going to the fourth division of Wang Ji today.

Speaking of Huzi, it is the son of Aunt Li, a pastry shop in the alley, one year older than her, seventeen years old, they grew up in an alley since they were children, and they also grew up together.

I think that at the beginning, because she was in the dead business at home, she was teased by children of the same age since she was a child, and Huzi was one of them. It's just that she hasn't been a cowardly person since she was a child, and whenever someone dares to laugh at her face, she can roll up her sleeves and fight with others on the spot.

Don't look at her small person, not tall, but she can't help but have a lot of strength, plus the anger when she was teased, the children who ridiculed and bullied her were all cleaned up by her, and Huzi, the leader, was even more afraid of her, and since then she has become her little follower.

It can be said that she had an incomparable life before the age of ten, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she dominates the entire Xiaocha Lane, and even the neighboring alleys are very prestigious.

It's a pity that this scenery came to an abrupt end after the age of ten!

After the age of ten, with the great defense of men and women, boys and girls can no longer play together unscrupulously.

As they get older, the boys grow into the labor force of the family and can no longer play crazy all day long. Girls, on the other hand, are detained by their parents to learn all kinds of things, such as female workers and cooking, which are necessary skills before marriage, which need to be practiced and familiarized.

Let's talk about those delicate and quiet girls, who are the mother worms in the eyes of her neighbors, and they can't escape this fate.

Thinking of this, Wen Shu couldn't help but feel melancholy.

While thinking about it, she had quickly walked out of the two alleys and crossed the gate of the north side of the city.

Wang Ji Sisi is a little far away from Xiao Cha Lane, where the coffin shop is located, and when you walk from Xiao Cha Lane, the foot journey is fast for two quarters of an hour, and the foot travel is slow for half an hour.

Wen Shuyin got up early in the morning, and his feet were not slow, so when he arrived at Wang Ji, it was a quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed time.

The steward of the Accounts Department is surnamed Liu, a middle-aged man in his early thirties, with a gentle appearance, a mustache under his lips, and the whole person looks quite elegant.

When Wen Shu arrived, he was looking down to count the calligraphy and paintings in the wooden box, and when he saw her coming, he greeted her familiarly and politely: "Wen Xiaozi is here, just right, today you and Li Qing are responsible for carrying the screen, and we will leave in two quarters of an hour." ”

As soon as he heard that it was carrying the screen, Wen Shu's eyes lit up, and he knew that the salary for carrying the screen was twenty more than that for moving the table, so he responded happily and went to the West House

Who knew that halfway through, he was shouted by Steward Liu: "By the way, a few days ago, the division bought two new sandalwood screens, which are quite valuable, remember to be careful when you two carry them, don't bump into them." ”

"Don't worry, Steward Liu, the kid must pay attention." Wen Shu clenched his fists and said solemnly.

Steward Liu stroked his beard with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go." ”

In front of the West House, Li Qing was waiting there, and was surprised and delighted when he saw Wen Shu coming: "Wen boy, why are you, Huzi, asking for leave again?" ”

"Well, my mother had a head attack, so let me come over and help me for a day." Wen Shu replied with a smile, and said, "Just now, Steward Liu asked me to carry the screen with Brother Li, it's not too early, let's start." ”

"Yes." Li Qing happily slapped her on the shoulder, "You kid has a lot of strength and a careful heart, I was still muttering at the beginning, who will Steward Liu arrange to carry the screen with me, and now that I see you, my heart can be regarded as letting go." ”

As he spoke, he opened the Westinghouse door and let Wen Shu in.

Behind him, Wen Shu rubbed his right shoulder, which was hurt by him, and shook his head helplessly.

"Well, it's those two." After walking a few steps after entering the door, Li Qing pointed to the two screens in the northeast corner and said: "Before we carry it later, let's wrap the four corners with a cotton sleeve and then lift it out, so as to stabilize the committee." ”

"Cheng, listen to Brother Li." Wen Shu nodded repeatedly.

The two agreed, and they began to work together to carry the screens outward, because the two screens were in the inner place, so they had to move the outer screens first.

After such an operation, it was a quarter of an hour before the two screens and some of them were moved to the car.

Seeing that the person who was moving the tables and chairs in front of him was not ready to stop, Li Qing Shi Ran sat down in front of the ox cart, shook his whip and chatted with Wen Shu: "By the way, I heard that the department is going to expand the manpower recently, I see that your kid is sharp in his hands and feet, and he is also diligent in his work, so it is better to go to the Wang Steward and ask, if it is really over, it is not better than you who have been working for others day by day." ”

Wen Shu smiled bitterly when he heard this, but said on his face: "Brother Li is bothered, it's just that the kid's family is riddled with mundane things, and he still has younger brothers and sisters to take care of, so he can't get out of it." ”

Li Qing remembered what Wen Shu once said about his mother's death and his lameness, and there were still young brothers and sisters at home who needed to be taken care of, and seeing that he was not very old, he couldn't help but sympathize: "That's a pity, it's hard for you, you have to support a family at a young age." ”

Wen Shu remembered the nonsense he had made up at the beginning, and only smiled and didn't speak.

Li Qing had long been accustomed to his temperament, so he immediately changed the topic and said some interesting things in the division.

A quarter of an hour later, after Steward Liu had counted everything, the convoy set off.

As the person in charge of moving the screen and also taking care of the screen, Wen Shu went to the Imperial History Mansion with Li Qing and Steward Liu.

It's been three o'clock, the lights in front of the palace of the imperial history are full of people, the streets and alleys are full of carriages, and the house is also full of laughter and noise, and the congratulations are continuous.

As the official of the imperial history, the Wang family's house is not big, there are only two inside and outside, the furnishings in the garden are also simple, only some green bamboo is planted in the corner, and now it is also verdant and eye-catching at this time.

There are many things needed to hold a wine banquet, from tables, chairs, benches, screens, calligraphy and paintings, to cups, plates, teas and bowls.

Wang Ji Si did these things are familiar, and immediately ordered them one by one in order, advanced tables, chairs, benches and other ordinary large items, and then on the screen slightly expensive heavy items, and finally on the fine celebrity calligraphy and paintings and cups, plates, bowls and butterflies.

A quarter of an hour later, as soon as Li Qing and Wen Shu placed the two precious sandalwood screens in front of the outline as Steward Li said, they heard the master of ceremonies outside the courtyard singing loudly: "Lu Shaoqing of Dali Temple is visiting." ”

In the courtyard, Wang Yushi, who was greeting and laughing with his colleagues, lived.

Lu Shaoqing? Didn't you say that I fell off my horse a few days ago and am still unconscious, how can I ......

While thinking about it, the others had already walked quickly to the door, but as soon as they reached the door, they saw a person come in from outside the door.

The person who came came in with his backlight, with a long body, wearing a dark purple cardigan, his head was tied with a black crown and his eyes were like stars, and his gestures showed a calmness that did not match his age, and he was congratulating him with a smile on the corner of his mouth at this time.

"Mishi-sama, congratulations!"

It's not Dali Temple, who is Zuo Shaoqing.

Wang Yushi came back to his senses, and hurriedly changed his smiling face to greet him: "Oh, it's Lu Shaoqing, I recently heard that Shaoqing was injured and in a coma, and the old man has been worried about it, and he is looking for a gap to visit, but he didn't expect that Lord Shaoqing came first, and now he is in good health?" ”

"Lord Lao Yushi is worried, it is good to raise it at home for two days, and I am here to congratulate you on the joy of your grandson and grandson."

"Oh, Lord Shaoqing is polite, please take a seat." Wang Yushi said as he welcomed Lu Yuancheng to sit at the table.

Seeing Wang Yushi coming here with the distinguished guests, Wen Shu and Li Qing hurriedly set up the screen and took two steps back.
