Surrounded by all the officials, Fu Zhixing and Yan Hagi got into the first carriage, the four maidservants of Ear Grass, Wheat Bird, Xiaocao and Camelina sat in the second carriage, the luggage and belongings were stacked on the third and fourth carriages, the four sturdyly tied bandits got into the fifth carriage, and Han Fei took two guards to guard it personally.
An hour later, the carriage arrived at the post station, and when Yan Hagi got out of the carriage, he could see that the post station had been temporarily repaired, and that the red lanterns and colored flags were hung outside; The prefect stepped forward and said, "Because of the haste and inconsiderate things, I also ask the lord and the county lord to forgive me." โ
"It doesn't matter." Fu Zhixing took Yan Hagi to the post station.
Yan Hagi was a little surprised, she thought that this prefect would take them to live in his private house, but she didn't expect to settle them down, don't tell her that this prefect doesn't have a private house. The prefect of the road is quite honest, and he can afford to buy a private house, this prefect has a fat head and big ears, if he doesn't have a private house, who will believe it.
And the fat prefect doesn't seem to be an honest person, so he didn't invite them to live in a private house, definitely not following the law, there must be other reasons.
After more than a dozen steps, Yan Hagi thought about it briefly, didn't say anything, and led the maidservant girl to the backyard to settle down after entering the post station; Fu Zhixing listened to these officials report on government affairs in the front hall, and the fat prefect had a lotus tongue, boasting about his small political achievements, while boasting, he also looked at Fu Zhixing's face carefully, hoping to get the praise of this minister, who knew that Fu Zhixing looked indifferent, as if he hadn't heard it.
But Fu Zhixing didn't stop, he could only continue to speak, the more he talked, the more weak his heart became, and in the end, he closed his mouth and lowered his head to listen to the reprimand.
After being quiet for a long time, Fu Zhixing glanced at the officials and said lightly: "Those four water bandits will be put in prison first, and then you can retire in a few days." โ
In a word, they were sent away.
The officials retreated uneasily and stood outside the post station, not knowing where to go. So all eyes fell on the fat prefect, "My lord." "He's the biggest official here.
The fat prefect touched his three-layer fat chin, "Let's go to the teahouse and sit down, and discuss how to entertain Lord Qincha next." โ
The group went to the teahouse to sit down, and the fat prefect drank three cups of tea in a row before saying, "Let's talk about it." โ
"You can send a few beauties to adults." Heroes are sad to pass the beauty level.
"You can also send antiques." Literati love elegance.
The gossip is to send things to Fu Zhixing to curry favor with him. At this time, a small official said: "My lord, I heard that Lord Qincha stayed in Xucheng for five days, and the prefect of Lu invited Lord Qincha to stay in his private house. โ
The fat prefect was stunned for a moment, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" "No wonder Lord Chincha is unhappy.
The little official looked aggrieved, he didn't think about it before, and then he ...... The little official's neck shrunk and muttered in a low voice: "Your Excellency, you didn't ask earlier." โ
"When officials go out of Beijing on business, they all stay in the post station, this is the rule, how dare Lord Qincha give up the post station and live in the private house of the magistrate? We should present it to Your Majesty. This is the name of an official who has a slightly stiff brain and does not know how to be flexible.
The fat prefect glanced at him, no wonder he had been doing it for more than ten or twenty years, and he was still sentenced. The fat prefect ignored him and asked the petty official, "Is your news accurate?" โ
"The lowly brother-in-law is on an errand in Xucheng, it is said that it is because of the Lord of Rongfu County, the post station is simple, and the Lord of Rongfu County is uncomfortable." The petty official replied. Without knowing it, Yan Hagi inexplicably carried the black cauldron once.
"My lord, I heard that although Lord Qincha is the son of the prince, he only has the wife of the lord of Rongfu County, and there are no concubines in the house, and Lord Qincha never goes to a place like Goolan Courtyard." Another minor official interjected, "The lowly brother is in the capital. "Although he is only a seventh-grade petty official, he is also a Beijing official. He moved out of his brother to convince the prefect that what he said was true.
The fat prefect touched his fat chin, "Let the restaurant send a table of good wine and food to the post station first." "Lord Chincha has already moved into the inn, and if you want him to move out, you have to think of another idea.
In the post station, Yan Hao finished bathing, and Fu Zhixing was wiping her hair with a handkerchief. Yan Hagi inserted a piece of watermelon with a toothpick and fed it to Fu Zhixing, "Shall we go out for lunch later?" โ
"They should ask the restaurant to bring the food and drinks." Fu Zhixing smiled lightly.
"Where are we going in the afternoon?" Yan Hagi asked.
"Have a good rest this afternoon, and tomorrow I will take you to the mountain to soak in the hot springs." Fu Zhixing still remembers that before leaving, Yan Hao wanted to go to the hot springs.
"Okay." Yan Hagi smiled happily.
Ercao walked in, "Shizi, young lady, someone outside has brought a table of wine and food." โ
"In the antechamber." Fu Zhixing put down the veil.
Yan Hao's hair was half-dried and simply pulled up with an orchid-headed hosta. The couple went out for lunch, and the fat prefect was quite willing, with ten dishes and four soups. Fu Zhixing and Yan Hao will never be able to eat, but there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, even if the two of them don't care, Han Fei and the others don't dare to eat at the same table with them.
"Here, have a bowl of chicken soup." Fu Zhixing scooped a bowl of chicken soup and put it in front of Yan Hagi, as for the fish soup, Yan Hagi wanted to vomit when he smelled it now.
"This crispy duck is good, you can taste it." Yan Hagi sandwiched a piece of duck meat for Fu Zhixing.
The couple ate lunch sweetly, but ten dishes and four soups, only four dishes and one soup were moved, although Han Fei and the others would not dislike it, but the two didn't want others to eat their saliva.
After lunch, I took a walk near the post station to eat, and then went back to the house to take a nap, and woke up from sleep, Yan Hao was about to pull Fu Zhixing to play backgammon to kill time, and the ear grass came in to report, "Young lady, the prefect's wife asks to see you." โ
Fu Zhixing curled the corners of his lips, "This prefect is interesting, and he sent his wife to the door so soon." โ
"Shall I see her?" Yan Hao was afraid that he would ruin Fu Zhixing's affairs.
"Yes." Fu Zhixing smiled lightly.
If it is Yan Hagi, he changed his clothes and went out to meet the guests, the prefect's wife and the fat prefect are very husband and wife, and they are also round and round, and when they see Yan Hagi, they salute enthusiastically and say: "Say hello to Mrs., Mrs. Wanfu." โ
"Mrs. Yang doesn't have to be polite." Yan Hagi politely said.
The guest of honor sat down, the maid served tea, and Mrs. Yang tasted it, "This is Longjing before the rain, it's really good tea." โ
"I brought it out from Beijing, if Mrs. Yang likes it, I can give some to Mrs. Yang." Yan Hagi is generous and authentic.
"Thank you, ma'am, then you're welcome." Mrs. Yang owed. Not seeing the outside is also a way to get closer.
After a few words of gossip, Yan Hagi learned that Mrs. Yang was a local, and said with a smile: "I first came to Jiangnan, and I am not familiar with the customs of Jingzhou at all. โ
Mrs. Yang immediately talked about the various scenery of Jingzhou, "If Mrs. likes it, I can accompany Mrs. to take a look around." โ
"If necessary, I will definitely trouble Mrs. Yang." Yan Hagi didn't completely refuse.
Mrs. Yang thought she was asking Fu Zhixing what she meant, but she didn't insist, "It's my honor to serve my wife." โ
