Chapter 5 Return Greetings

In the decades of official memories in the main book, Dou County is too small and remote to even receive the adults of the state capital, and no Shangguan will think of coming here, even if he passes by, he will rush to the larger county town or post station in front of him.

Of course, the main book did not shrink because of this, and the reception was actually very simple, that is, good food, good drink, and good words, which Dou County County is now very confident.

The main book summoned all the officials of the county government to come to the yamen to greet them, and there were not many people and horses sent by the envoys of the western Zhejiang Jiedu, but the Ma Zhuang people were mighty and extraordinary, and they also carried a carriage.

came to the hall to let An sit down, take a sip of tea, and the man who claimed to be An Xiaoshun politely expressed his intention: "We are here to send a thank you gift on the order of the Metropolitan Governor, and the Metropolitan Governor has received a congratulatory gift from your Dou County on his birthday." ”

Everyone knows that Wang Zhi sent birthday gifts to An Dezhong, saying that he received an order from the state capital to assassinate Shi and let him choose some suitable gifts, and the gifts will be sent to Huainan Province in the name of the state capital, and then sent to western Zhejiang by Huainan Province.

In Dou County, Huainan Province, it is insignificant, and he will receive a return gift from An Dezhong.

Could it be that Wang Zhi knows An Dezhong?

The master bookkeeper and the others looked surprised.

An Xiaoshun smiled: "For every congratulatory gift sent, the governor will return the thank you gift." ”

After that, raise your hand and let people send the return gift in, the main book and other officials can't help but come forward to watch, this is a jade carving ornament, smooth and delicate value, and there are more honest and honest four words on it.

It is very common for high-ranking officials and magnates to receive gifts on their birthdays, and it is also an opportunity for many people to collect money, if it is to express integrity, you can refuse to accept gifts, and it is rare to receive gifts one by one, especially this gift is worth a lot of money.

This kind of gift is not very stylish, and then it is given in return.

The chief secretary and others exclaimed: "An Xiaodu is a real celebrity." ”

Because Ankang Mountain is also a festival envoy, in order to distinguish everyone, everyone calls An Dezhong the governor of An Xiaodu, and An Dezhong is not displeased with this.

It seems that the rumors of An Dezhong's greed and obesity can't be fully believed.

The good tea was poured for the second time, and the newly made refreshments were sent up, all of which were unique snacks in Dou County, and the main bookkeeper was happy to introduce them to An Xiaoshun.

An Xiaoshun was also very happy: "You really have a heart." Unceremoniously tried one by one, and pointed out a few, "This is good, the governor must like it." ”

Of course, the master bookkeeper is not stupid, and immediately ordered the kitchen to make some more decorations.

In any case, it is something that every official is happy to be able to have a relationship with a knot.

Wang Zhi may have done his best to send congratulatory gifts to An Dezhong because of this, but unfortunately his efforts have been rewarded, but he is gone.

For Wang Zhi's regret, everyone will not let themselves regret it, the atmosphere in the hall became warm, and after some laughter and chat, An Xiaoshun said: "I heard that the family of the military commander of Zhenwu Army is here, I don't know if it is possible to meet him?" ”

Do you want to see Mrs. Wu? The master book pondered slightly.

Young Lady Wu must know who is coming, and these snacks must be carefully arranged by her.

Although Mrs. Wu Shao didn't come to the front office, the master didn't think that the front office could hide it from her, and the master didn't want to hide it from her.

"Master An, please wait a moment." The main book did not shirk, nor did he take care of everything, "Mrs. Wu is sick, and Mrs. Wu is also injured, wait for me to ask if it is convenient." ”

Li Minglou had already thought that he would be asked to meet him.

"I said I was here to give a thank you gift." Fang Er said, "An Dezhong ordered everyone who gave congratulatory gifts to return the gift. ”

An Dezhong is not that kind of person, of course Li Minglou doesn't believe this statement, An Kangshan has other plans to make friends and make a wide range of money, while An Dezhong is greedy and stingy, as long as it is something to give, no matter how expensive or low, he wants it, and if he wants it in his hand, he will not want to let him spit it out.

There were many jokes about his greed in that life.

He must be willing to spit it out now to swallow more.

"There are a lot of people who give him congratulatory gifts." Li Minglou glanced at the map on the wall, "In the name of returning the courtesy, his people want to occupy all this half of the southeast." ”

Seeing her waving her hand, Fang Er stepped forward and pulled away a painting on the wall to cover the map.

"You ask people to go out on the street and look for those merchants." Li Minglou said, "Buy the most expensive treasures and come back." ”

Fang Er immediately went out to order, and when he made arrangements, the chief bookkeeper also came in to invite Li Minglou.

"If the young lady is inconvenient, she can not see it." The master bookkeeper told the matter, and suggested in a low voice, "You are a female dependent, why don't I go and ask the Yuan Ye to come back." ”

Li Minglou smiled, although he couldn't see it with his face wrapped, he could hear it in his voice, and thanked the master for taking care of him: "It's just a few steps, I don't need you to explain it to me." ”

The bookkeeper is very pleased, and it is so pleasant to deal with someone who is so considerate of others.

An Xiaoshun drank tea for the third time in the hall when he saw the master book leading a woman in, with a blue sky and white sun cloak covering her head and feet, and a young servant holding a black umbrella beside her.

"I'm injured, Master An shouldn't be scared." She volunteered.

The figure and voice are very petite, not very old, but the momentum is not ordinary, more indifferent than these officials when they see him, it is indeed not an ordinary woman, An Xiaoshun made a judgment in an instant, lowered his eyes and saluted, expressing sympathy for Mrs. Wu's plight.

"Knowing the tragedy here, Governor An Xiaodu was also very sad, and ordered me to see the young lady, also to show respect." He explained his intentions, "Mrs. Wu Shao suppressed the bandits, avenged Wang Zhixian and others and pacified the people, she can be described as a heroine, and she and Wu Duwei are worthy of a match made in heaven." ”

Li Minglou thanked: "I didn't do anything as a woman, but the chief secretary and the adults dealt with it in a good way, so that the people could work together." ”

The chief bookkeeper and others were busy waving their hands, and the hall praised each other and enjoyed themselves.

At this time, the street was also bustling, and there was a chubby merchant who let six people carry the car past.

"This merchant is too poor to afford his livestock." People on the street laughed and joked.

Someone recognized this businessman, who chased Mrs. Wu's carriage and horse at the city gate a few days ago to sell rare treasures: "Let's just say that these things can't be sold in our Dou County, so it's really a loss." ”

When the merchant heard this, he was proud: "Wrong, I am going to send my treasure to the young lady, the young lady bought it, this treasure is too precious, I don't worry about letting the mule pull it, or let people carry it to rest assured." ”

The people on the street were suddenly in an uproar and asked what kind of treasure it was.

The merchant hid and refused to let people look at it: "Mrs. Wu is a fairy figure, and what she likes is naturally a fairy treasure." ”

Saying this, he was a little weak-hearted, and looked at the guard of the young lady Wu who was leading the way in front of him, in fact, the guard only had one request, and he wanted the most expensive.

The crowd coaxed the businessmen to the county office, walking in it was inevitable to be squeezed around, of course Lao Han would not be pushed, the broad shoulders were about to squeeze his own people away, Wu Ya'er held him, the big hat covering his head and face was slightly raised, and he glanced at Lao Han.

Lao Han comprehended his body, scolded a few words, and looked at the two people around him without looking back.

"Just like us, they are officers and soldiers." Wu Ya'er helped him and whispered, looking at the two people who walked over, "They just said a word, and the accent is Fan Yang's." ”

Old Han was shocked, this Dou County not only has their Zhenwu army, but also the people of Ankang Mountain, there are really many small gods and immortals in the city, and there will be no more guards of the Dao, right?
