Chapter 241: Political Tasks
Chai Jun nodded and did not continue to talk about this topic. He added, "Lord Qin has a very good official reputation and is also very capable. You are related to my second aunt by blood, and you will go to the capital in the future to find me in the mansion of the eldest princess of Nanyang. ”
He was actually willing to be close to the Qin family because of Chai Qingyan's relationship. This made Qin Ru very happy, and he hurriedly agreed.
Hearing these two cousins talk about the Qin family at the same time, Xu Lanyin was secretly sad. They are relatives, but they dare not recognize each other. Especially this cousin Qin, he flatters Chai Jun so much, it must be because of his aunt Chai Qingyan, right?
At the end of the Shen period, it was time for the teahouse to close. Liu Zhaohou just didn't leave, he wanted to live in the teahouse and continue to play. Later, a few people who looked like big officials came, and Xu Lanyin only knew Qin Che. I don't know how those people persuaded him, Liu Zhaohou was extremely reluctant to go to the post station with Chai Jun to rest.
When I got home, I actually saw Xu Ershi coming. He was sent by Old Man Xu to deliver the letter, Xu Lanzhou passed the county test, and his ranking was relatively high, eighth place, and he would go to Fucheng to participate in the government test at the beginning of next month. Since the Qin family is a woman and a widow, it is not easy to accompany him, so Xu Dashi will accompany him.
This is really good news, Xu Lanyin is overjoyed.
Xu Ershi's smile was even bigger, and he said, "I have already handed over the letter written by Master Min to Master Tang, and he asked me to write a few words," Xu Ershi's face was a little red, and he smiled again, "He assigned me to Zhaofang, who was specifically responsible for the defendant's filling out of the form and sorting out the confession transcript......"
He also came to Xu Lanyin and instructed her, "Sister, tomorrow you will come to see me play chess, I like to listen to you." ”
Xu Lanyin smiled, "Definitely." ”
Xu Lanyin went home, and Shopkeeper Wu and others began to decorate tomorrow's competition venue.
Xu Lanyin noticed that he was wearing a robe today, which was blue, which made him even fairer and more delicate. The hosta with her hair tied up, smiling and stretching her eyebrows, has a bit of the temperament of a white-faced scholar. It would be better if the eyes were more calm, not flashing, and the body not swaying at will.
She laughed, "Well, yes, pretty handsome." ”
Xu Ershi blushed and said with a smile, "This is all thanks to the blessing of my sister and second aunt, grandma and my father and mother are very happy, thank you." Oh, these are the two pieces of silk rulers that my mother bought for Sister Yin and Brother Ting, and my grandfather and grandmother also asked my mother to make two silk caftan and two pairs of mille-feuille shoes for Brother Zhou. ”
Because of the ugliness of the words, such a hard relationship was not divided into six rooms, but was divided into second-class recruitment rooms.
Xu Lanyin smiled, "Oh, congratulations." ”
Xu Ershi pulled the brand-new clothes on his body and said, "I'll go on an errand in a few days." My mother also made me a few silk robes, and my grandfather and grandmother also asked me to do a good job, and I should be worthy of my sister's help. ”
Xu Lanyin no longer cared about the gifts they gave, and knew that this was the unique thinking of many ancients, but she was not very happy.
She lost the interest in talking, encouraged Xu Ershi a few words, and finally said, "Let Yang Zhong accompany Brother Ershi to have a good time in the provincial capital for two days." ”
Xu Ershi's personality is a bit like Gu's, a little smart, and he likes to take advantage of small things, but he is not a big traitor, and his relatives will still help each other.
Xu Ershi's ability to be a scribe has nothing to do with Xu Lanzhou's money, but the gift to him is the thickest. Xu Lanyin repeatedly explained that it was the Qin family who asked her to do this, but the Qin family did not have a penny, only the word "thank you".
Xu Lanyin believes that her ruler must have been given by the old lady, otherwise she didn't even have this ruler, and some were just "thank you" on her lips.
Xu Ershi said it so generously, he must not think that there was anything wrong with this matter, and he also felt that it was right to give a generous gift to the eldest son of the second room.
The next day, Xu Lanyin, Xu Lanting, and Min Jia got up early in the morning, ate quietly, got up early in the morning, and went out quietly.
Thinking that Zhao Xingchen would cry when he got up, Min Jia couldn't bear it. said, "Wouldn't it be okay to lock the little star in the backyard?" ”
Xu Lanting also said, "Yes, if the door is locked, he won't be able to get out." ”
Xu Lanyin didn't like him very much, but she didn't hate him very much, so she stayed away.
Xu Lanyin asked Ding Gu and Yang Zhong to accompany him to drink in the outer courtyard. He also quietly instructed Yang Zhong to take Xu Ershi to the most prosperous Huangshi Street and several famous yamen in the past two days, never go to Qingqu Street, accompany him to eat, drink and have fun, and buy some things to send to his hometown, and send him back to his hometown in two days.
Xu Lan didn't tell the old man Xu and his wife about opening the teahouse, for fear that the old man would know that the teahouse was not the Xu family's trouble, which would make people upset.
Xu Lanyin lifted the curtain, the sky was not bright, and there were still a few stars twinkling in the sky. The cool morning breeze cleared her mind a little more, meditating on what procedures were there today, and if there were any things she hadn't thought of......
didn't pick up Wang Sanni, she, Ding Xiaoran and some employees of the tea house all rested in the tea house yesterday.
When I arrived at the teahouse, I found that Min Can, his two sons, and Qin Ru had come.
Xu Lanyin's excuse for not letting Zhao Xingchen go was that there were many people during the game, and she was afraid that he would be abducted by the photograph if he was too young.
Xu Lanyin said, "What should I do if he is locked in the house and he cries?" It will affect other people's games. ”
When they heard that it would affect the game, the two children were silent. Drowsiness hit, and they fell asleep in the car again.
Her expression also became serious, and she nodded again and again to discuss with Shopkeeper Wu and Wang Sanni.
Around the hour, a chief referee and eight referees came.
Wang Sanni gave them the referee's badge to wear. The badge is a small round wooden plaque with the word "cut" engraved on it, which is hung on a cloth belt and put around the neck. The chief referee's wooden card is purple, and the referee's is brown.
Min Can said to Xu Lanyin, "Lord Qin asked me to tell you that Liu Gongzi is a nobleman. Because he came to participate in the game, officials such as the political envoy Li, the commander Xu, and the Xuezheng Liang will all come to watch the game. You have to prepare tea soup and refreshments, don't make a mistake, Qin Gongzi and the second child of my family are at your disposal. In addition, Master Zhou and I will not present the award, please Lord Li, Lord Xu, and Lord Liang present the award, and then ask Lord Qin to say a few words of congratulations......"
Min Can said a lot of words, which means that this is no longer a simple teahouse chess game, but a political task, and only success is allowed, and no accidents are allowed.
Xu Lanyin didn't expect that a non-governmental competition held by her family attracted such important government officials, and the scale became the Olympic Games in her previous life, and it was self-evident that it was widely advertised. She looked around, and outside the house, there were many soldiers and servants in formal or civilian clothes patrolling.
Qin Hongyu and Min Nan put the badge around their necks, their excited little faces were flushed, and they had to pretend to be very serious. It's the first time they've been involved in such a meaningful event, and it's amazing.
Min Can laughed when he saw his daughter's appearance. He has three children, and his favorite is this precious girl.
