Chapter 280: Gift-giving
This Uncle Zhao arranged two rooms for them, Lin Feng said no, one is enough, he won't stay here for too long, and when he goes to the city lord's wedding banquet, he will leave after communicating with the city lord about the 'school'.
As for the other chores in the academy, he believed that Miao Yuanlong could handle it. This Uncle Zhao is very courteous to the two, and he is more proficient in hospitality than You Liangjun, although he is only a steward in You Liangjun's family, but he also has the cultivation of Jindan, and he has the final say in the teahouse in Jianxing City on weekdays.
Although he is a relative, You Liangjun is also very respectful to this Uncle Zhao, and when Uncle Zhao arranged the room, You Liangjun did not leave, but talked to Lin Feng and them, Lin Feng did not rush people, it is not a bad thing to know more about the customs and customs.
That Uncle Zhao was busy making tea, Lin Feng took a sip and praised it repeatedly, it is worthy of opening a teahouse, the tea for hospitality is different, a mouthful of relish, the aroma is overflowing, although it is not a treasure tea, but in terms of taste, it is undoubtedly the best Lin Feng has ever drunk.
He doesn't know much about tea, but he also knows that this tea must not be ordinary, but he is afraid that it is a variety of tea house treasures.
Sure enough, seeing Lin Feng's admiration, Uncle Zhao opened his mouth and introduced: "This tea is the treasure of the town store of this teahouse, picked from the first buds of spring, and it will be a light rain when picking, and it will be fried with secret techniques, remove the watery, and only leave its fragrance, called water tea. ”
Lin Feng waved his hand and refused, he was short-handed, and he just wanted to meet the city lord when he came over with You Liangjun, and when he lived here, he would help talk in front of the city lord, even if he returned the favor, there was no need for more.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhao didn't say much, and told You Liangjun to treat customers well and turned around to busy with the business in the store.
"I can't drink this tea a few times a year, Brother Lin really doesn't want it?" You Liangjun didn't know why Lin Feng didn't want it, he just felt that it was a good thing, and Lin Feng didn't want it.
Lin Feng didn't explain much, and asked when the city lord's wedding banquet would start.
"In about an hour, my father will come back after giving me a gift, but Brother Lin can stay a little longer. "The son-in-law of a small businessman like You Liangjun is still not allowed to enter the table, and most of them are gifts and remember their names.
"If I want to see the city lord, is there any doorway?" Lin Feng then asked.
"This ......" You Liangjun hesitated to answer, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”
It is okay for a disciple of the Qingshan Sect to enter the table, but it is also impossible for the outer disciples to see the city lord, although you Liangjun did not say that Lin Feng also knew, he did not explain, and when the time came, the city lord who went to clarify his identity and intention naturally would not see him.
A person with the status of a city lord must know that he is a new holy son, and the holy son and the lord of a city are naturally the lord of the city in terms of power alone, but in terms of status, the holy son is more than a step higher than the city lord.
A few people gossiped, and Lin Feng also knew a lot about the current situation of mortals, mortals mostly live in that kind of remote village, but now that kind of village is gradually decreasing, they are all captured and bought and sold as slaves, the mortal next to You Liangjun was bought, only three spirit stones, he has the dominance of a mortal.
Most of the people engaged in the trading of mortals are those subordinate sects of the Qingshan faction, and over the years, it seems that they have become a fixed source of income for these sects, and those sects wantonly grab mortals, and then sell them to the hands of people such as You Liangjun to do some hard labor, and the tea garden workers in You Liangjun's family are all mortals who come from trading.
"The prime of life is more expensive, most of them are about three spirit stones, and the more expensive ones are those female slaves, most of them are about ten spirit stones, and some of them are traded to tens of thousands of spirit stones, I heard that the concubine that the city lord married this time was bought when he was very young, and the cost was as high as hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, how beautiful you think. You Liangjun smacked his tongue as he spoke, and he didn't know whether to sigh at the number of spirit stones or the beauty of the woman.
Hearing this, Lin Feng frowned, sure enough, there were no eggs under the nest, there must also be a part of the city lord of Jianxing City in the transaction of buying and selling mortals, as the city lord of Jianxing City, he was afraid that the bribes given to him by those subordinate sects every year would not be a lot, so would it be hindered for him to let Miao Yuanlong open a school here?
Anyway, how can there be no obstacles, but the scale of the academy in the early stage can't be much bigger, and the city lord shouldn't turn his face with himself because of this.
A few people chatted for a while, and the time was about the same, then Uncle Zhao prepared a few more carriages for You Liangjun, and asked You Liangjun to put the gifts on the carriage to go, You Liangjun first refused, and then after Uncle Zhao's painstaking explanation, he understood the reason why he did this.
Driving a few carriages, several people went to the city lord's wedding banquet together, this time You Liangjun's servant did not follow, but You Liangjun personally drove the horse, judging from his lame whip, he estimated that it was the first time he did this kind of thing.
"I'll do it. Lin Feng couldn't stand it anymore, it wasn't that he wanted to help, he was afraid that You Liangjun would drive the horses and horses crazy like this and hurt the pedestrians on the road.
"Hehe, hard work Brother Lin, it's the first time I've driven a horse, and it just so happens that this horse is not very obedient. ”
Where is the horse disobedient, but you whip the whip and use the cultivation, this horse is frightened by this and doesn't make trouble, even if it's okay, and expect him to pull the goods honestly?
Lin Feng drove the horses in front, and a few carriages followed, the road was a lot smoother, and there was a long queue across the city lord's mansion, all of which came to give gifts, basically several carriages, full of congratulatory gifts wrapped in red cloth.
At the gate of the city lord's mansion, there were three large tables in charge of recording the gifts, and the carriages full of loads passed, and then the goods were unloaded and put into storage bags, and the empty return trip was empty.
After queuing for more than an hour, it was Lin Feng's turn, and the master who recorded the gifts looked up at the gifts on the carriage, lowered his head, and asked coldly, "Name." ”
You Liangjun smiled and said, "Water Tea Teahouse, You Family." ”
"Next. From beginning to end, this master didn't look at Lin Feng and them, and a few soldiers in armor went over to take down the gifts.
You Liangjun nodded and stood aside, getting out of the way for these people to move the goods.
"This master, please help me bring a message for the city lord. Lin Feng stepped out of the carriage, he came to see the city lord, so naturally he couldn't help You Liangjun leave after giving the gift.
"Huh?" The master who lowered his head and 'worked hard to write' raised his head, a little annoyed that someone was actually disturbing his work, and when he looked up, the expression on his face changed instantly, and he got up and said: "It turned out to be an adult from the Qingshan faction, and now the time for the main banquet has not yet arrived, are you here early." He didn't notice that Lin Feng was getting off the carriage.
"It's okay, you can help me bring a word, just say that Lin Feng is visiting. ”
"This ......" The master showed a look of hesitation on his face, he could naturally do something with a word, but an outer disciple of the Qingshan Sect asked him to bring a message to the city lord, which was inevitably a bit too high to look at the identity of the outer disciple.
"Bring the word with you, and if your lord is angry with you, I will bear it. Lin Feng knew what this master thought, and he didn't explain much, the person whose identity could achieve the position of city lord naturally knew.
"Okay. After hesitating for a while, the master still decided to pass the word, after all, he couldn't afford to offend Lin Feng, even if Lin Feng was just a disciple of the Qingshan Sect.
After a while, a loud voice came from inside the gate, "Lin Gongzi came from afar, and Yang missed the welcome." A middle-aged man in a red robe with a happy face stepped out of the door frame, and he was followed by the master who had just gone in to deliver the message.
For a while, everyone present knelt on the ground and shouted 'Lord of the City'.
Only Lin Feng and Miao Yuanlong still stood up straight, Lin Feng bowed his hand, "I have seen City Lord Yang, Lin Feng rashly came to disturb him, and I hope that City Lord Yang will not be surprised." "The city lord of Jianxing City is actually surnamed Yang, and nine times out of ten he is also a member of the Yang family, and the four major families of the Qingshan faction have basically carved up the ownership of the entire Qingshan faction.
"Where is it, Lin Gongzi and other characters are coming, my wedding banquet is even more joyful, Lin Gongzi came in to speak, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Yang City Lord made a greeting gesture, "Please." ”
Lin Feng stepped through the door, followed by Miao Yuanlong, and You Liangjun also got up from the ground and followed behind Lin Feng, his face full of excitement.
City Lord Yang and Lin Feng stood side by side and entered together, the City Lord's Mansion of Jianxing City was not inferior to the City Lord's Mansion of Longhai City, and the interior was full of lights and celebrations.
"The second brother summoned me a few days ago to let me receive you, I guess you should have come to Jianxing yesterday, let people look for it but there is no movement, I have to scold those people later. ”
The second brother in his mouth is the city lord of Longhai City, Yang Zhenhai, Yang Zhenhai's elder brother is Zixin's uncle, Yang Wuji, the great protector of the Qingshan faction, this Jianxing City Lord calls Yang Zhenhai's second brother, could it be Yang Zhenhai's younger brother?
But it shouldn't be pro, although he is the same as Yang Zhenhai as the city lord, but Jianxing City is one level lower than Longhai City in terms of administrative level, and the Nanling Mansion Lord has been vacant, although Yang Zhenhai is only the position of the city lord, but he has the power of the mansion lord, at present, Lin Feng knows that the Yang family lineage, Yang Wuji is the great protector, and Yang Zhenhai is the head of the government, this is the position that the Yang family lineage should have, in other words, the city lord of Jianxing City should be the side of the Yang family.
However, Lin Feng naturally didn't say these things bluntly and provoke others, but changed his words and said: "The city lord's happy day doesn't have to be punished by others, maybe they didn't find out about the city I entered with others." ”
The two of them did not dwell on this topic, and settled Lin Feng and the others, so he called a steward to receive Lin Feng and a few people, the wedding banquet was about to start, and he had to go to receive some other distinguished guests, confessed his guilt, and ordered this steward to entertain him, and left.
