Chapter 267: Lord Admiral is Benevolence and Righteousness
Jia Liu really wants to eat other people's favorite wine, because all the money is out.
Ten taels, I have to eat eight dollars yesterday to come back.
When I sat down, I felt like something was missing.
I can't say it, it's just that I can't get tired of it.
I saw that an old man at the next table was looking at me curiously, probably thinking about who this person was from the Xia family, and why he hadn't seen it.
"Fellow,"
Jia Liu's face was full of smiles, and he said cordially, "Are you old?" ”
I habitually fumbled around and wanted to smoke while talking, but found that there was no smoke at all.
The old man's ears were still good, he put down the cigarette pouch he was smoking, and said, "This year is seventy and three!" ”
"Okay, okay, seventy-three, eighty-four, Yan..."
Jia Liusheng swallowed back his words, and moved the stool in front of the old man, "I see that you don't look like a seventy-three person, I thought you were only fifty when I looked at it." ”
"Who are you?"
The old man didn't know where the Admiral in civilian clothes was, and although he was young, his temperament was different, like an official.
Jia Liu snorted and said that he was a colleague in the Guoliang Army, and he came to drink wine today.
"Old man, how many people are there in the family, is life okay? ...”
When the Admiral was talking with his fellow villagers, the Xia family came over.
It was Xia Guoliang's younger brother, that is, Xia Guodong, the groom's uncle.
Hearing that his sister-in-law and nephew said that the Admiral had come to his house, Xia Guodong was surprised and delighted, and when he saw that the Admiral was sitting in the corner, he hurriedly came over and asked the Admiral to take a seat.
It's just that what the Xia family doesn't know is that the Admiral attaches the most importance to etiquette, shook his head and said: "I won't sit down, Chairman, the sky and the earth are big, my uncle is the biggest, no matter how big my Admiral is, I can't be as big as my uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't break the rules..."
After that, I saw a few children who were going to accompany the groom to eat the "champion banquet" at a table and were playing, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This official is such a big person, and he can't sit at the same table with the children, I think it's good here, you guys are busy, don't worry about me." ”
That being said, how can the Xia family really ignore Lord Admiral, this is a distinguished guest that his family can't invite!
As soon as the matter was reported, none of the neighbors in the neighborhood could look up at his Xia family.
Still there to ask the Admiral to move, Chongqing Garrison Ma Daquan saw this and directly pulled Xia Guodong to the side, and ordered: "The Admiral said to sit wherever he wants, you don't have to invite again, there is nothing for you here, just go and get busy." ”
"Okay, okay, then the adults will give a small command if they need anything."
Xia Guodong was afraid that the hospitality would not be good, so he hurriedly asked someone to make tea for the Admiral and bring fruit snacks.
“... It is both a good thing and a bad thing to have more children in the family. What is the good thing, to spread the branches and leaves, to have many children and grandchildren, and there will always be a good future among the descendants. What's the bad thing, I can't eat enough, I can't dress warmly, but no matter how hard I am, I can't make the children suffer, and I still have to find a way to let the children read, and only by reading and reading can they be productive..."
The Admiral was busy chatting with the guests who had come to congratulate him.
Xia Guoliang is a soldier in the green camp, there must be some friends in the camp, others are not at home, can these friends come to his family to cheer up?
It is also a normal human relationship.
Someone heard Xia Guodong say that the new admiral of the imperial court was also there, so he came to greet him immediately.
Now it's okay, the identity of the Admiral has been exposed, and the startled old man didn't come back with a puff of cigarette, and almost choked.
"Sit, sit, everybody."
The Admiral is really loved by everyone, not only invited people to sit, but also personally brought stools for others to sit on, this behavior, this style, can make a group of battalion soldiers excited.
First of all, the parents chatted briefly, and the natural topic came to the implementation of the recently issued reward policy.
Before, some people didn't dare to say it, but with the encouragement of the Admiral, they immediately started to talk.
It didn't take much effort for the Admiral to basically understand the situation in Chongqing's green camp.
The lively, cordial, and evocative scene was disturbed by Cao Guoke, the deputy general of Chongqing Town, who came in a hurry.
"Horn!"
Vice Cao, who was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, gave a thousand greetings to the Admiral with a flag salute.
"Get up."
Jia Liu asked Vice General Cao with a smile, "Xia Guoliang is a soldier in your Chongqing Town, and someone marries a daughter-in-law, do you have to give a gift to the family in Chongqing Town?" ”
"Want, get."
Cao Guoke hurriedly touched his pocket, but he was in a hurry to go out without breaking silver, but there was a silver ticket of one hundred taels, which was just honored by people yesterday afternoon.
In front of the admiral, he could only grit his teeth and hand over the 100 taels of silver tickets to the groom officer.
How dare the groom collect so much money, stunned.
"Lord Cao's mind, take it."
Jia Liu smiled, took the silver ticket from Cao Guoke's hand and stuffed it into the groom's hand, and then asked, "When will the banquet start, this official is a little hungry." ”
"Huh? This is the opening of the table, this is the opening of the banquet! ”
The banquet soon began, and Jia Liu asked Cao Guoke to sit at a table with him, and casually asked about some work while eating.
It can be regarded as a very happy conversation, which makes Cao Guoke's hanging heart relaxed.
On the way here, I was afraid that this Admiral was here to trouble him, but now it seems that this Admiral is most likely here to fight the autumn wind.
Ming'er is a regular filial piety of one thousand taels.
When the groom's official came over to toast, Jia Liu realized why he had been upset.
It turned out to be the habitual consciousness of the previous life.
From the first-class Admiral who didn't have any shelf at all, to an ordinary big-headed soldier who had a banquet with a courtesy, at least seven or eight pens had to follow, right?
But beside the forehead, there is nothing to do with a pen.
What is this like?
After stabilizing the green camp in Sichuan, I wondered if I would run a "Eight Banners Army Newspaper" or something to publicize the heroic deeds of the Eight Banners soldiers in pacifying Jinchuan, and by the way, highlight the importance of his Jia Jia Shikai in this process.
Qianlong can raise a prostitute Ji Xiaolan, and he Jia Liuyang will definitely not break the law.
Seeing that the food was almost the same, the relatives and friends of the Xia family couldn't let go of their hands and feet because the Admiral was there, so Jia Liu got up with a smile and said goodbye to the Xia family.
After coming out, Cao Guoke hurriedly invited the Admiral to his official office to rest.
Jia Liu came to this mountain city for the first time, and proposed to take a look and slowly drink by the way.
Cao Guoke didn't dare to refuse.
After walking for a while, Lord Admiral suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Cao Guoke, who was following behind: "Are you from the Internal Affairs Office?" ”
Cao Guoke hurriedly said: "Back to the adult's words, the last general is from the Yellow Banner Manchurian clothed collar, and my grandfather once followed the general Tu Haiping to fight the Wu thief Sangui in rebellion!" ”
In his expression, he was secretly proud of this origin.
Jia Liu let out an "oh", waved his hand and said, "I won't talk nonsense with you about this, how much silver have you been greedy for all these years?" ”
Cao Guoke was stunned there, half loud, and hurriedly defended: "The adult has wronged the last general, and the last general has always been honest..."
Before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the Admiral, "I can't listen to this kind of talk, they all say that they are honest officials, why, the Qing Dynasty is not a corrupt official like me?" ”
In other words, give Vice General Cao two ways.
"The first way, you give me all the money you have been greedy for all these years, and then I will kill you again; The second way is that I will kill you and take away the money you have been greedy for all these years. Choose for yourself, which way? ”
The Admiral is benevolent and righteous, not to say everything, but to give people choices.
