Chapter 176 The Story of a Small Town

April 26, 11th year of Zhenguan. The team of Jiang Zhixuan, the champion of the new department, finally arrived in Huayin County.

It's getting late, and you can't get home at dusk. Therefore, after discussing with Jiang Zhixuan, Xiaoxiao decided to stay in Huayin County for one night. According to the system, the new champion returns to his hometown, and the post stations along the way will welcome him. The official post station in Huayin County is no exception, and the post station got the news early, boiled hot water, and prepared wine and food. Just waiting for the new champion Lord Jiang and her wife to "> to check in, I heard that Mrs. Jiang "> pregnant with Liujia, and he even specially invited two experienced old mothers to wait in the post station.

I didn't expect to wait left and right, but I couldn't wait for the team of Zhuangyuanlang. It wasn't until it was dark and quiet that Lao Yicheng remembered to send someone to inquire, why Zhuangyuanlang's team hadn't arrived yet, couldn't something happen on the way? But no, near Gyeonggi Province, the law and order situation has always been good, and I have never heard of any strongmen. Besides, I heard that this time Zhuang Yuanlang returned to his hometown, and there were royal guards to escort him. Which thief ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to fight the idea of the champion?

He was wrong, and a lot of people were thinking about it. It's just that it's not the strongman he imagined. Or rather, a strongman in another sense......

When Xiaoxiao and Jiang Zhixuan's driving team was nearly two miles away from the gate of Huayin County, they saw several groups of people standing scattered on the side of the road. The first group of people dressed in soap clothes and soap boots were a group of officials from the county government of Huayin County, and under the leadership of the county order of Huayin County, they went out of the city to greet Jiang Zhixuan, the new champion, and his party, hoping that Jiang Zhuangyuan could go to the official office of Huayin County to rest. Now Jiang Zhixuan has three yuan in a row, ranking first in Zhenguan's eleventh year of scientific examination, and it is ironclad that he will soar in the future. As the parent official of Jiang Zhuangyuan Sangzi, the current county magistrate of Huayin County will naturally not let go of this opportunity to curry favor now.

The other three groups of people are the first three restaurants in Huayin County to cooperate with Ai Xiao Farm: Qingyun Lou, Ruyi Restaurant and Folaiju, these three restaurants, since the establishment of Ai Xiao Farm, have maintained a very good cooperative relationship with Ai Xiao Farm. At the beginning, the three restaurants were all based on the face of Li Rusong, the county magistrate of Huayin County at that time, and took care of the small love farm.

Then, as the supply of high-quality products of Aixiao Farm became more and more abundant, and the business of the three restaurants became better and better, at this time, the three restaurants have sincerely cooperated with Aixiao Farm. Recently, as the fame of Jiang Zhuangyuan and the little female Bodhisattva spreads more and more, more and more guests come here. So that the three restaurants are in short supply. At this time, Jingshi's Zuiyue Tower was completely sealed because of its involvement in the assassination of Empress Jin Changsun. There was a somewhat oversupply of products from the royal farms. Therefore, this time, I heard that the owner of the farm returned to his hometown, and the owners of the three restaurants all went out of the city to greet him, hoping to invite Xiaoxiao to their restaurant to rest and discuss the matter of increasing supply by the way.

Xiaoxiao and Jiang Zhixuan were a little overwhelmed by this situation, and the local government welcomed them warmly, and they couldn't go if they didn't go; The three restaurants are the biggest customers of their own farms, and it is a bit inappropriate not to go. Therefore, the husband and wife made a difficulty, and finally discussed, so they had to divide into two, Jiang Zhixuan went to attend the welcome banquet prepared by the Huayin County Ya, and Xiaoxiao followed the proprietors of the three restaurants to Folaiju for dinner, to Ruyi Restaurant to discuss supply matters, and finally went to Qingyun Building to rest.

In this way, Xiaoxiao is really going to be tossed enough, the three restaurants are located in three different parts of the county, and running back and forth is really a specific test for her, a pregnant woman. But if you don't arrange it this way, you can't do business, and you pay attention to everything. The three restaurants were already a little unconvinced. If Xiaoxiao chooses only one or two of them, the other proprietors will definitely have ideas in their hearts...... Although they do not dare to make any outrageous moves now, there will certainly be negative protests. For example, delaying payment or something......

Before parting, Jiang Zhixuan asked with some concern:

"Madam" >, you have to travel to three places overnight, you are not in good health now, can you bear it? ”

Before Xiaoxiao could answer, the proprietors of the three restaurants surrounded him and bowed and promised:

"Please rest assured, Lord Jiang, the villains will definitely try their best to take care of Mrs. Jiang" >, and will not let Mrs. Jiang > suffer a little tired! ”。

Jiang Zhixuan was noncommittal, whose daughter-in-law and children were distressed, what these businessmen said was very easy to listen to. Until Xiaoxiao smiled at him:

"The husband will rest assured that he will go with the county lord, if the concubine is tired, she will go back to Qingyun Tower to rest. After the banquet over there, please come over early......"

Jiang Zhixuan relaxed a little, and turned around step by step to go with the Huayin County Commander. After walking not far, a county official quietly approached the county order:

"My lord, where is the banquet scheduled later? The subordinates have prepared two venues, one is the most famous fireworks place in the county, Qunfang Building, and the other is in the county government office! ”

The county lord looked back at Xiao Xiao, who was still looking at his side, shrunk his neck, and slapped the little official's head: "Looking for death or what?" Won't you go farther? ”。 As he spoke, he beckoned again, and called the little official to his side:

"Go to Qunfang Building first, see the reaction of the champion Lang, if the champion does not like it, then immediately turn to the county government office, your ...... Got it? ”

"Hay. The little one understands! ”。 The little official nodded hurriedly, turned around and went to arrange.

Here, Xiaoxiao Mu sent her husband into the city gate surrounded by a group of county officials, and then turned around and smiled at the proprietors of the three restaurants:

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's also set off, today, Xiaoxiao is going to disturb you!"

The proprietors of the three restaurants didn't dare to say: "It is our honor to be able to > the saddle before and after the saddle for Mrs., why bother to say, Mrs. "> polite!" ”

Xiao Xiao smiled lightly, no longer answered, and turned to get into his carriage. A man from Ruyi Lou wanted to come over and lead the horse for the small carriage, but as soon as he took a step forward, he was angrily shouted back by a royal guard:

"Mrs. Jiang" > everything that should be done is our responsibility, and you only need to lead the way in front! ”。 The guys and proprietors of several restaurants were surprised, what are these people doing? How can you be so arrogant?

Xiaoxiao listened to the guard in the carriage, and remembered that he had not confessed. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and smiled apologetically at the three restaurant proprietors: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Ben" >These guards are all royal guards, and they are ordered by the queen to escort me back to my hometown, and it is also their duty to act rigorously!" ”

Several restaurant proprietors and their men listened. Qi Sheng sighed in his heart, and then bowed respectfully: "The villain understands ......." Several proprietors were a little puzzled, although this Mrs. Jiang "> the owner of the royal farm, but according to common sense, she is just a steward of the royal family, why is there a royal guard to escort her?

Then, they suddenly remembered some rumors they heard a few days ago: the current queen mother was assassinated in Zuiyue Tower, this Mrs. Jiang "> sacrificed herself to block arrows for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Jiang Zhuangyuan angrily collided with the queen's car, hit the right one, and saved his wife and young son and His Royal Highness the King of Jin. At this point. I'm afraid these rumors are true. Only in this way can we explain the reason why these royal guards escorted Mrs. Jiang "> her party.

Chen Dongzhu of Ruyi Restaurant has some apprehension and expectation in his heart: if this matter is true, then the rich and noble Zuiyue Lou will definitely not be able to open, can he trust Mrs. Jiang to "> the relationship and take the Zuiyue Lou over? Thinking like this, the smile on his face became even more earnest......

Eating is just a formality, and it can be said that the proprietor of Buddha House is more concerned about a small attitude. Mrs. Jiang "> willing to go to Folaiju for such a visit, which means that her restaurant is in Mrs. Jiang's >, and its position on the royal farm is still stable. But having said that, after arriving at Folaiju, Folaiju still served a table of elegant and light meals, which made Xiaoxiao have a great appetite, and even ate half a bowl more than usual. After all, it is one of the three major restaurants in Huayin County, and the few dishes made casually are much better than those ordinary teahouses and restaurants.

After eating, Xiao Xiao came downstairs and was about to board the carriage. But I saw that the proprietor Chen of Ruyi Restaurant had already waited at the door with four people, and said to Xiaodao with a smile on his face:

"Mrs. Jiang" >, and the carriage was bumpy. The villain specially ordered someone to prepare a pair of sliding rods, which are much more comfortable than the carriage, please take a seat! ”

Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of his finger and saw a chaise longue of the kind she had invented. On the legs of the chaise longue, two long poles are firmly tied with ropes. There was even a veil on the chaise longue, and people sat inside, and people outside couldn't see the situation inside clearly.

This kind of sliding rod has been seen in some tourist areas by later generations, and I have also sat on it. It would indeed be much smoother than the carriage, so she only hesitated a little and sat down. Chen Dongzhu was overjoyed when he saw this, and was about to command a few men to lift the sliding rod and hurry. But I heard a royal guard say in a voice:

"Mrs. Jiang" >, let's carry it by us, we who practice martial arts, the road is more stable! ”

Xiaoxiao knew what he was worried about, so he couldn't refuse, so he had to say loudly: "In this way, there will be Lao Qin in charge of ......." It turned out that the commander of the guard was also surnamed Qin. However, this Qin commander is not Qin Shuang, but just happens to have the same surname. The surname is Qin Zhengyi, and this name was changed last year. Because this Qin commander is thinking about going out to fight the mountain guards......

Xiaoxiao sat on the sliding pole, carried by four royal guards, and walked smoothly towards the Ruyi Restaurant. The rest of the guards and the maids and servants sent by the Li Mansion followed closely, and the proprietors of the three restaurants rushed to the Ruyi Restaurant to set up.

At the same time, Jiang Zhixuan, the new champion, accompanied by the embarrassed Huayin County Magistrate, had just stepped into the flower hall of the Huayin County Government Office......
