Although the Zhengzhou Prefecture Yamen is not very luxurious, but compared to the Cheng'an County Yamen of the year, it is a restaurant compared to the tea shed, a powder wall separates the state yamen into two places, the first is the imperial court yamen of the murderous atmosphere, the back is the inner house of the big trees and chrysanthemums in full bloom, there are two big laurel trees planted in the patio, the osmanthus is in full bloom at this time, the flowers are like a brocade, there is a lobby in the middle, the voices of people inside are like a tide, laughter and singing, more than a dozen official prostitutes blow and play and sing to the rise, seven or eight attendants go in and out, the table is placed with a marigold cup, pour red mash and green sauce.

“…… From the Zhou Bridge to the south, out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Wang's wild fox meat, Mei's duck, chicken and rabbit, Cao's food, what to fry sheep white sausage, steamed chicken skin, batch cut sheep's head, fine powder vegetarian stick...... "A Jingguan who ate a few glasses of wine, described as very fat and red-faced, said that he was rising, stood up, splashed droplets, and the people around him didn't care about being sprayed with saliva, and looked up to hear it.

"What is this, I think it's best to be a plum blossom bun!" The other person wiped his saliva, waved his hand and said, while picking up the fried cake on the table, pointing and gesturing, "Just like this, like a plum blossom, when you eat it, you first knock the tip of your teeth to break the skin, and then suck ......."

When the official prostitutes present heard it, they all covered their mouths and smiled, and said, "What the master said we are all starving to death!" We, the countrymen, have never heard of such delicious food. ”

The next conversation is inseparable from eating and drinking, some people say that Granny Cao's meatloaf shop, some people say that Song Gate Wairenhe shop, saying that laughter only spreads outside the yamen, Zhu Wenqing led Liu Xiaohu to walk through the Sichuan Hall, listening to the laughter inside, and couldn't help but smile.

"Everyone has really worked hard this time!" Zhu Wenqing said with a smile and bowed his hand to everyone.

"Why bother compared to the people?" Liu Xiaohu said indifferently, so that the officials who were about to be polite to Zhu Wenqing hid a little self-satisfaction, and nodded in agreement.

Zhu Wenqing glanced at Liu Xiaohu a few times with some surprise, and then said with a smile: "If you don't dislike it, please go to the back hall to change your clothes?" ”

Liu Xiaohu looked down at his muddy official robe, then thanked him, and followed Zhu Wenqing through the second door, but when he saw the curved threshold of Qingxi, the pavilion Mingxuan was beautiful, and nodded and praised: "Compared with the original county government, it is a different world." ”

Zhu Wenqing led him into his own: "For the people, they don't dare to change." ”

Zhu Wenqing stood in front of the window, looked at the foreground, his mind was no longer here, and he heard the sound of footsteps in the room for a while, turned his head, and saw that Liu Xiaohu had changed into a purple and black robe, tied a jade belt, combed his hair again, cleaned his face, and swept away the previous embarrassment and fatigue.

"Your Excellency?" Liu Xiaohu looked at him and looked at him stunned, so he smiled and called.

Zhu Wenqing came back to his senses and twisted his beard and said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but the boy has grown up." ”

Liu Xiaohu smiled again, knowing that he remembered the events of the year, and listened to Zhu Wenqing say slowly, "Look at the adults walking in the field, the old man You remember that day you and Sister Cao were throwing seedlings in the field, at this time, I think of it, I was in a trance yesterday and ......" Liu Xiaohu's expression was stunned, and his clear eyes slowly dimmed a little, as if the laughter of the crowd echoed in his ears, and the woman who was still dressed as a girl laughed loudly in front of him, throwing out the seedlings in his hand one by one, shining in the sun.

"Cough, Lord Liu, for the sake of you and I who knew each other, the old man dared to ask." Zhu Wenqing's tone sank, and he called Liu Xiaohu back to his senses, and then said solemnly: "Even if you don't have a chance in this life, but for the sake of poor couples, why bother forcing the eldest lady to such a point?" The old man didn't mean to go against the adult, and he imprisoned Cao Dibao, but it was too chilling for the adult to act. ”

Liu Xiaohu looked at him a little blankly, and repeated: "I forced her? I have forced her to ......, but she has forced me to ......"

Zhu Wenqing couldn't bear the displeasure, pulled down his face and said: "My lord, the big lady is a person, don't you know it?" She's just jealous, if you can't bear it, it's okay to take a break, you shouldn't have a family property at all, she is a woman's family is divorced is already difficult to look up in front of the villagers, you are biased and indulgent of the wicked person, forcing the eldest lady to have a home and difficult to return to the Quartet, adult, how old is the old man who is older than you, I have to say, this is not the husband's doing! How can you not be as good as a Master Li who only has a few faces, and he bought your family's land and gave it to the eldest lady at his own expense! ”

Liu Xiaohu was confused at first, then stunned, and looked at Zhu Wenqing in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”

The bluestone pavement leading to the reception hall is covered with mottled sun shadows, and when the wind blows, it jumps happily, and another gust of wind blows, mixed with the harmony of the women in front of the hall: "...... Tender face moth, lightly and evenly...... Before the feast, dancing swallows and singing clouds, there is no lightness...... In the brocade tent, the whispers are thick, and under the silver candles, it is good to look closely......"

"Your Excellency?" Zhu Wenqing didn't see Liu Xiaohu's figure on the side, he hurriedly stopped and looked back, saw him stopped in the middle of the road, looked at the sun shadow on the ground motionless, and knew that Fang Cai's matter must have hit this young man, let alone him, that is, he knew that things were not what he thought, and he thought about it slightly, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, thought about it, walked back, patted Liu Zili a few more times, and his face must be long, and he would punish the concubine if he found an opportunity...... The old man blushed, and he didn't know what to say, looking at the young man's pale complexion, lost his eyes, and felt sad for no reason, his big hand slapped Liu Xiaohu's back and sighed.

"She was supposed to blame my ......" Liu Xiaohu was slapped by this and spit out a few words, and the anger that was originally brought by fatigue gushed out at this moment, burning his throat painfully, and he didn't make a sound.

"That, you go back and ask again, maybe there is any misunderstanding......" Zhu Wenqing patted him, hesitated, and said: "If you have anything to say, there can be no gap between husband and wife." ”

When they said this, a few half-hearted officials poured out of the back door of the lobby, and they came over and grabbed them, saying, "So it's here to slip!" Thou shou, the master, must eat a few more cups! There is no reason to hide! ”

Zhu Wenqing hurriedly changed his expression, laughed and responded, and the few people pulled them in, drunken and staggered into a person who came in through the side door.

"Attention, sir." Su Jinnan bowed over, stretched out his hand to help Liu Xiaohu, who was squeezed, and took a look.

When Liu Xiaohu saw that it was him, he was stunned at first, and he was about to ask, anxiously remembering something, his face changed suddenly, he grabbed his shirt suddenly, and said in a dumb voice: "You can also have this mind......" Before he finished speaking, he was pulled by Zhu Wenqing and pulled forward with a haha. The other officials were already drunk, only to see a young man in a purple silk face and narrow robe standing in front of him, and he was going to the inner house, only to say that it was Zhu Wenqing's son, this Liu Xiaohu was from Cheng'an, and he knew him if he wanted to, so he grabbed him and shouted: "Even if it is an old acquaintance, you have to eat and drink with us first." "Where can Liu Xiaohu carry these people, and he was dragged in.

Su Jinnan stood in place and stopped for a moment, a wry smile appeared on his lips, raised his feet and walked slowly inward, crossed the door of the inner courtyard, and saw a little girl sitting under the big tree and stones looking this way, seeing him coming, he waved his hand with a happy face and said, "The big official is here!" As soon as he ran in, Mrs. Zhu stood under the porch with a few rough girls to greet him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Official, please, we've been waiting for a long time, and if we don't come again, we will eat up this wine of thanksgiving." The eldest girl beside Mrs. Zhu smiled sharply and led Su Jinnan into the hall.

This room has a total of three sizes, in the middle of a wooden lady picture screen, divided into two, in addition to the furnishings are very simple, Xu is because of the move to a month due to the disaster did not care for it, many furniture is still left by the previous term, the wall hung a few landscape paintings, Su Jinnan looked at it, saw that all from the hands of famous artists, I had heard that Mrs. Zhu is a boudoir woman, but love calligraphy and painting, so he sent the brocade box with him, and said: "The future life chats with Mrs. Xie for the banquet. ”

Mrs. Zhu took it with a smile, and when she unfolded it, she saw that it was a landscape map, and she recognized it as the work of the famous Li Cheng at a glance.

After three glasses of wine, Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "Go and invite the old lady and the eldest sister to come, the guests are here, and they have to wait for a long time!" Su Jinnan hurriedly stood up and said that he didn't dare, and the maids in the house all went out laughing, leaving only two personal girls pouring vegetables and wine on the side.

Mrs. Zhu let him taste a few dishes and gossip a little before she smiled and said: "Big official, the concubine heard that the big official lost his wife and didn't marry, and she dared to protect the big official with a matchmaker, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Su Jinnan was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks and was a little confused, and said: "I thank Mrs. for her kindness, it's just, it's just ......."

Mrs. Zhu smiled and asked, "Just what?" Do big officials have a fancy to them? ”

Su Jinnan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Exactly, thank you for your kindness." While secretly regretting it, he knew that he shouldn't have coveted this woman, and he had encountered a lot of things like this forced to talk to the matchmaker over the years, so he couldn't sit down anymore, and was about to find an excuse to leave the table, when he heard Mrs. Zhu laugh and groan: "Oh, that's a pity, it's a pity that Sister Cao doesn't have this blessing." He looked up in astonishment.

"Big official, why don't you think about it again, you also know this eldest sister, and think I can be protected as a matchmaker?" Mrs. Zhu straightened her face, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a cloud sideburn wearing a beaded hairpin slipping by the window, and as soon as her words fell, the inaudible footsteps stopped, and she couldn't help lowering her head and smiling, and then looked at Su Jinnan, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised, seeing that there was no joy on his face, but a trace of sadness.

Cast a shadow on the inside, Lin Saiyu stood in front of the door, because of the light behind her, she couldn't see what her expression was, but she said coldly: "The big official turned out to be playing with the little woman." ”
