Chapter 716: Shu County (1)
It was nearly noon, the sun was blazing, and the sun was shining brightly and almost blazing.
His Royal Highness the King of Shu, dressed in plain clothes, has no tiredness from a long journey, his handsome face is full of energy, his eyes are smiling, and his elegance is unparalleled.
Even if there is Lu Chiqing, who is as gentle as jade, Ye Jingzhi, Sven, and Zhao Qi, who are handsome and likable, they have not been able to take away his demeanor.
His Royal Highness the King of Shu's first appearance in front of the officials of Shu was amazing.
"Xiaguan has seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu."
A group of officials who came to greet him saluted together under the leadership of Liu Junshou.
When the officials of Daqi saw the Son of Heaven and needed to pay a big salute, they didn't have to bow down to the vassal king, just bow down and hug their fists. Thinking that they would live under the King of Shu in the future, the officials should be more respectful when they saluted.
"Excuse me." Sheng Hong said with a smile, and personally reached out to help Liu Junshou: "This is Liu Junshou!" When this king was in the capital, he heard of the name of Liu Junshou. ”
"Elder Lu Ge also praised Liu Junshou in front of this king, saying that Liu Junshou was generous to the people and governed Shu County in an orderly manner. This king will have something to rely on in the future. ”
At the mention of Lu Ge Lao, Liu Junshou suddenly felt that His Royal Highness the King of Shu was a little closer, and he humbled himself a few words.
The officials above the third rank are all in the capital, and among the local officials, the highest official position is the governor of the second rank. It's just that Daqi only has two governorships, one is the governor of Jiangnan and the other is the governor of the northwest.
There are three counties in Shu, and the county guard of each county is the highest official position. In addition to Liu Junshou, there are also Xia Junshou and Zhang Junshou, who are nearly fifty years old. It's just that the other two counties are quite a few days away from Shu County, and Xia County Shouzhang County is not allowed to leave his post without permission and cannot come.
The county guard is an official position from the third rank, which is one level higher than the prefect of the fourth rank. In addition, there are several people who are sentenced to the same knowledge, and the minimum must be the magistrate of the seventh grade to be qualified to come to greet them. Xie Yuanzhou and Mei Zhen also came to greet each other.
There are dozens of large and small officials in Shu County. Sheng Hong also experienced the feeling of holding the moon with the stars today, and his heart was quite happy.
It doesn't hurt to be poor in Shu, in the future, this will be his territory.
Liu Junshou said respectfully: "Please ask His Royal Highness the King of Shu to enter the gate of Shu County!" ”
Sheng Hong happily responded, re-mounted his horse, and led the way majestically.
As the princess of Shu, Xie Mingxi didn't need to show up in front of the officials, and sat in the carriage all the time, steady and unmoving. It wasn't until the carriage slowly moved forward again that Xie Mingxi lifted the curtain and glanced out.
Lin asked with slight interest: "Is His Royal Highness the King of Shu heroic today?" ”
Xie Mingxi stared at the high-spirited figure in front of him, and smiled casually: "Like a peacock with the screen open." ”
Lin snorted slightly, and Gu Shanchang also felt funny: "What kind of metaphor is this." ”
That's a fitting analogy!
The tall figure riding a horse seemed to radiate a thousand rays of light under the blazing sun. Firmly attracted everyone's attention, including hers, of course.
What else can a peacock be if it's not an open screen?
Xie Mingxi chuckled silently and put the curtain on his hand.
……
Because of the many mountains, there are many inconveniences in and out of Shudi, and there is no prosperity and wealth. Compared with the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, it is far worse, and compared with the capital, it is far behind.
Sheng Hong had already been mentally prepared, and after entering Shu County, it was not surprising that he did not see any "rows" of shops along the way, let alone the endless stream of pedestrians.
Mei Zhen rode a horse to Sheng Hong's side and reported in a low voice: "The vassal king's mansion has not yet been built, and Liu Junshou's family moved to the mansion and vacated the county guard's mansion. Please settle down first, Your Highness. ”
The dignified vassal king can't just find a house and move in. However, there are also wealthy businessmen or officials who want to give up their houses...... was pressed back by Liu Junshou.
If you want to dedicate the mansion, it should be him who will dedicate it, where is it the turn of others to dedicate this courtesy?
Sheng Hong nodded slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Liu Junshou's move is enough to show his sincerity and convincing, which is much more pleasing than any foaming at the mouth to show his loyalty.
Xie Yuanzhou also said in a low voice: "These days, Liu Jun has treated us quite politely. It's just that time is short, and it's too late to renovate, so I can only clean it up simply. If there is anything inappropriate or disliked, please forgive your Highness. ”
Sheng Hong smiled: "I've worked hard for you this time. ”
Xie Yuanzhou and Mei Zhen didn't dare to say anything.
A person's temperament and temper can be seen from the details. Sheng Hong's approachability is by no means pretend. It's also very comfortable and smooth.
……
An hour later, the county watchman arrived.
The plaque of the county guard mansion was taken off, and the plaque of the Shu Wangfu was temporarily hung. Now it's time to call it the Shu Palace.
After Sheng Hong entered the house, he went to the main hall first, and formally greeted Liu Junshou and others. Xie Mingxi and a group of female dependents went to the inner courtyard to settle down.
The county guard's mansion will not be far off. In Xie Mingxi's eyes, it is not exquisite, but it is spacious enough. Compared with the Shu Wangfu in the capital, it is not much smaller.
Gu Shanchang must live in the Shu Mansion with Xie Mingxi, and Lin Weiwei, Xie Lanxi and several masters also settled down in the Shu Mansion first.
This time I brought a lot of things from the capital, and dozens of carriages were stuffed to the brim, and it was impossible to set them up properly in half a day. Let's pick the most important placement first, and as for books and utensils, we can leave them for later to be placed slowly.
Liu Junshou is knowledgeable and interesting, and his wife is also a clever person. not only cleaned up the mansion, but also deliberately left a few capable housekeepers.
The leading housekeeper's mother saluted respectfully: "The princess has just arrived, and she is not familiar with all parts of the house. The lady deliberately left a few slaves and maids to wait for the mother's dispatch. ”
Xie Mingxi's eyes swept lightly: "You few, listen to Xianghui's dispatch!" ”
The housekeepers and mothers hurriedly responded in unison.
When she was in the capital, Xiang Hui was the most powerful female official in the inner house of the King of Shu, and when she arrived in Shu, Xie Mingxi had no intention of supporting the jade with her. still Ling Xianghui takes the lead.
Congyu Fuyu was very convinced of Xiang Hui, and he didn't have the intention of competing with Xiang Hui, so he stayed by Xie Mingxi's side to serve peacefully.
I was busy until dark, and then I barely stopped.
The banquet had already been prepared, and Sheng Hong and his entourage and officials drank the banquet.
Xie Mingxi set up two seats in the inner courtyard, Gu Shanchang and his masters sat on one seat, Xie Mingxi and Lin Weiwei and others sat on one table, the banquet was adjacent, and it was extremely convenient to speak.
The county keeper has specially left two cooks, and tonight's banquet is made by these two cooks.
The housekeeper's mother stood aside and smiled earnestly: "The slave is afraid that the princess will not be accustomed to Shudi dishes, so she specially told the two cooks to make the dishes lighter." ”
Everyone: "......"
Which plate of dishes is red, which is also called light?
