Chapter 357: A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats
Yuanjiang County.
Sun Si'er, who was wearing an indigo brocade robe and had a warm jade crown on his head, sat in the back hall of the county government, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand, the old god was sipping fragrant tea, and the two pretty maids were respectfully waiting on the side, and he did not have the slightest sense of crampedness.
"Hahaha. ”
A clear laughter came from the backyard, and an elegant middle-aged scribe wearing a plain Confucian shirt and a three-inch beard on his chin walked out of the backyard quickly, and smiled before saying a word, "This morning, the old man heard a magpie singing outside the window, it turned out that a distinguished guest was coming to the door!"
When Sun Si'er saw the visitor, he also put on a smiling face, and got up to shake his hands: "Sun Jian, grass people, meet Master Ye." ”
The elegant middle-aged scribe stepped forward with an arrow, held Sun Si'er's hands, and said, "Hey, Lord Sun Helm is so polite, but he doesn't take me Ye Kai as his own family!"
Sun Si'er himself was just making a gesture, and he didn't really want to bow down, Ye Kai gave up his hand: "You are too polite." “
After a few rounds of polite exchanges between the two of you, Ye Kaiyi stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit, please sit." ”
Sun Si'er arched his hand, lifted his hem and sat down.
After he sat down, Ye Kai continued to sit down.
Sun Si'er: "Lord Ye......"
"Hey!"
Ye Kai said again: "Call the adult again, the old man really wants to turn around and leave!"
"Okay, Uncle Ye. ”
Sun Si'er reluctantly changed his words.
When Ye Kai heard this title, his heart was ecstatic, and even his eyes lit up.
"I'm visiting ...... this time"
It stands to reason that Sun Si'er called Ye Kai "uncle", and claimed that he should also be changed to a junior, but he felt awkward, and he really couldn't change this mouth, "It is entrusted by the master of my Luo Tang to invite you to Taiping Town with your family as a guest, please set a time, I will inform the rudder of my help, escort you up the mountain along the way, my family is the master, waiting for you in Taiping Town." “
Ye Kai "changed color" and said in a lost voice: "How dare you alarm Lord Zhang, isn't this a torture for the lower officials?"
Sun Si'er faced his exaggerated acting skills, disdainful in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Yes, my family helper regards Luotang Master as a sibling, Luotang Master Gao Tang died early, only the old mother is left in the family, and there is a way that the eldest brother is like a father, so that Ai and my family's Luo Tang Master's marriage, my family helper naturally has to handle it personally." ”
Ye Kai didn't seem to hear it, and he was still "shocked" and muttered: "Lifted, Master Zhang is too elevated!"
Sun Si'er was impatient when he saw that he was still addicted to acting, but considering that this father-in-law who might become a mule, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only get up and arch his hand: "Uncle Ye, please set a date as soon as possible, and I can also reply to Hall Master Luo and my family leader." ”
Ye Kai also got up and said hurriedly: "Don't dare to let Lord Zhang wait for a long time, tomorrow I will handle the official affairs of the Yazhong, and I will leave for Taiping Town early the next morning." ”
Sun Si'er waved his hands: "Then I will go back to Xiangtang to send a message to Taiping Town, and arrange the people who will escort you and Ling Ai along the way." “
"Don't be in a hurry, noon has arrived, why don't you stay and have a few drinks, it just so happens that the old man's house also hides a few urns of old flower carvings, just ask the virtuous nephew to taste and taste. ”
"Next time, next time I come to be the east, I invite Uncle Ye to drink two glasses of my Taiping Town's special osmanthus wine, just today, Master Luo and my family are still waiting for me to reply, I don't dare to let them wait for a long time. ”
"It makes sense, as long as the virtuous nephew is free in the future, he will come to the door to sit, and your uncle's cooking skills should be a must in Yuanjiang. ”
"If Ling Ai and my family Luo Tang Master can really marry for a hundred years, then we will be our own family from now on, and we will have to bother Uncle Ye. ”
"Well said, my own family!"
Ye Kai laughed and personally sent Sun Si'er out of the county office.
Sun Si got into the carriage and waved goodbye to Ye Kai.
Ye Kai watched the carriage leave the long street with a smile, and then quickly resumed his majestic style, but between his eyebrows, there was still irrepressible joy.
He turned around and walked into the county office, and when there was no one left and right, he couldn't help himself, slapped his thigh vigorously, and shouted: "It's done!"
He quickened his pace and headed for the backyard.
"Daughter, daughter......"
Sitting alone in the water pavilion, holding her chin in one hand and looking at Xie Lian in the pool stupidly, the yellow-shirted girl who was full of her daughter's worries heard her father's shout, turned her head and smiled reluctantly: "Father, but what good news has the eldest brother sent back?"
"No, no!"
At this moment, there are no outsiders in the courtyard, Ye Kai can no longer suppress the joy and excitement in his chest, "It's the news from Taiping Town, Zhang Jingluo Lord Zhang, personally invite our father and daughter to Taiping Town as guests!"
"Oh?
When the girl in the yellow shirt heard this, her eyes dimmed, and the grievances between her eyebrows became more and more complaining.
It's a pity that her father, who is quietly in the fantasy of his steady progress, is not in the mood to experience her emotions at the moment, and almost dances to his own words: "The news sent back by your eldest brother is really accurate, and the relationship between Hall Master Luo and Master Zhang is really like a brother!"
"Now it's okay, as long as you can marry Hall Master Luo for a hundred years, our Ye family will definitely be able to get the support of Lord Zhang!"
"With the support of Lord Zhang, the position of the head of the household registration office of Taibai Mansion, your eldest brother is not ready to be captured?
"As a father, he is still in the prime of life, and he may be able to rise to another level. ”
"Our Ye family, who has been deeply cultivated in Yuanjiang County for four generations, is finally expected to go further, and after a hundred years of being a father, we will also have the face to see our ancestors and ancestors......"
The girl in the yellow shirt looked at Xie Lian in the pool without focus, and her mind didn't know where to drift for a long time.
......
"Phew. ”
The rudder gang who drove for Sun Si'er saw from a distance that the Yuanjiang County Lieutenant was leading dozens of officers and soldiers to rampage through the street, as if they were arresting the bandits, so they controlled the healthy horses pulling the cart to the side of the street.
How did he know that the Yuanjiang County Lieutenant in front saw their carriage from a distance, and immediately restrained his officers and soldiers and made way for a street that was enough for carriages to pass.
"Is it Sun Helmsman in the carriage?"
The county lieutenant of Yuanjiang, who was riding on a tall horse, hugged his fists and laughed from afar.
Sun Si'er picked up the curtain of the car and glanced at it, got out of the car and walked over with arched hands: "Sun Jian, grass people, meet Lord Liu...... Lord Liu, is this leading the brothers on a business trip?"
"Hey, I don't know where a thief who didn't open his eyes came from, and looted the furniture of several people, no, Lord Ye instructed his brothers to come out to arrest the thief, this Yuanjiang County is so big, where will the brothers go to find that little thief for a while. ”
"Hey, just a little thief, how can Master Liu be so excited, come to the hall of my Taiping Club to lead people later. ”
"That's a good feeling...... Anyway, I haven't seen Lord Sun Helm for a few days, so let's have a couple of drinks sometime?"
"Okay, tomorrow at noon, White Crane Tower, the little brother will set up the wine and wait for Master Liu!"
"Then it's a deal...... Why are you still stunned? Why don't you thank Lord Sun Helm for saving the legs and feet of your gang of rammers!"
"Lord Xie Sun. “
"They are all their own brothers, and they are very polite. ”
The two arched their hands affectionately and staggered by.
When they were far away, the little brother who followed Sun Si'er sneered and said, "These stupid roe deer are well-informed. ”
Sun Si'er sneered and didn't answer.
"Master Jian, did you say that Hall Master Luo was blinded by eye droppings? What kind of crooked idea did the county order old man make, can the blind man see it?"
Sun Si'er raised his eyebrows, and slapped the back of the speaker's head with his backhand, "Eat the bear's heart and leopard guts?
The little brother who was slapped by him was not annoyed, and said with a smile of "hey, hey, hey": "Hey, there are no outsiders left and right, and it can't reach the ears of the Luo Hall Master." ”
Sun Si'er was annoyed, raised his leg is a kick, and scolded: "Okay, don't learn the senior tongue woman, if my eldest brother is still there, just what you say, he won't cut off your head with a knife, Lao Tzu will follow your surname." “
The little brother who spoke was finally stunned, and the thief looked left and right, and whispered: "Are you kidding?
Sun Si'er sneered: Look at Lao Tzu's face, as if he was joking with you?
The little brother who spoke was instigated and begged for mercy again and again.
Sun Si'er didn't bother to scold him anymore, he came back to his senses and continued to walk towards the entrance of the hall, but after walking out of a distance, he couldn't hold back the burning fire of gossip, and said in a low voice: "Boy, wait and see, Brother Mule may be blinded by eye droppings, but our gang leader is not a foolish character, just Ye Lao'er's careful thinking, he can please us under the hands of our gang leader, Lao Tzu cut off his head and send you a night pot!"
The little brother who was following him with his head buried in his head couldn't help but pout when he heard this.
And say I'm a woman with a long tongue?
It's not all from you!
The upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked!
