Chapter 40: The Adventures of Lu Xiangsheng

040 The Adventures of Lu Xiangsheng

At the age of seventeen, he entered the Guozijian Doctoral Disciple Academy, at the age of twenty-one, he was raised in the first year of the Apocalypse, at the age of twenty-two, he was Lianjie Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and the head of the household department for four years was followed by the Zhili Datong prefect who was released from the four products. Almost in the Ming Dynasty, where there were many prodigies, this resume also allowed Lu Xiangsheng to step into the ranks of fierce men.

A month ago, Lu Xiangsheng, who was in the office of the daimyo prefect, met two brocade guards wearing bullfighting suits. Some people are afraid of Jinyiwei, and some people are willing to flatter Jinyiwei, only Lu Xiangsheng settled in his lobby and waited.

The staff on the side took out the usual red envelope for him, Lu Xiangsheng took it, checked it with his hand, and stood on the side of the hall with a wry smile.

These two seem to be a little different from the brocade guards they see on weekdays, these two sit upright in the lobby, their hands on their knees, but they are also the tea in front of the table. Although the outfit is still covered with a bullfighting suit, it seems to be an uncommon outfit inside. What has changed in the Jingshi?

couldn't help but think about it, Lu Xiangsheng walked in with a smile.

Seeing the group walk out of the back hall, the two brocade guards hurriedly got up and stood sideways, facing Lu Xiangsheng with fists and saluting.

Without waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to sit down, the leader said, "Please Lord Lu to check and investigate." With that, he handed over his identity investigation. Lu Xiangsheng took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was Jingshi Jinyi Wei Baihu Shang Fengtai. Seeing Lu Xiangsheng nodded, he said to Lu Xiangsheng again: "I also hope to check the official seal of Lord Lu." ”

Well? Is this still the Jinyiwei you know? In Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, there are really not many original Jinyi guards who come according to the rules. In the past, most of the Jinyi guards who came down from Beijing just entered the yamen and stopped the introduction of the staff, who do you say is who, how could there have been a process of surveying the official seal.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and the Tongzhi next to him took out the official seal of Lu Xiangsheng's Datong prefect and the name seal of Lu Xiangsheng from the back hall with a wooden support. The leader of the hundred households took out a pair of silk cloth from his arms and checked it, and then officially bowed his hand. When he took back the official seal, Lu Xiangsheng handed over the red envelope, and the two of them looked surprised.

Shang Baihu smiled bitterly and said, "This is not the rule of Jinyiwei now. This time we can't take it. also made it clear to Shangguan that if you see Jingshi Jinyiwei again, don't give any more silver, you can't accept it, and you have to report it to the record. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was even more interested.

"What if you had a drink in the back room?" Lu Xiangsheng asked with a smile.

The merchant hundred-household shook his head even more, "Lord Lu Mo said, my hundred-hundred-household is in the eyes of the brother next to him, if you eat a corner of your wine, these hundred-hundred-households will be replaced." ”

After that, this shook the clothes, and it was said:

"The Son of Heaven pro-army Jinyi Wei passed on the holy word. Lu Xiang was dismissed from the post of the prefect of the Daimyo Prefecture, and entered Beijing on the same day, and the errand left by the Daimyo Mansion was temporarily replaced by the same governor of the Daimyo Mansion, pending the official appointment and dismissal of the Ministry of Officials. ”

"Lord Lu, tomorrow and the next moment, the two of us will wait in front of the prefect's house, please follow the casual clothes, a car and a horse, and the road fare guards have all been settled by the Jinyi guard."

After that, the two of them went straight to the Daimyo Guard without stopping, leaving Lu Xiangsheng who was a little confused.

This is even more confused when it comes to Jingshi.

A newly-dressed brocade guard accompanied him into the Sihai Restaurant, known as the Jingshi Pinjin Grotto, with two large boxes of silver in his hand.

Silver slipped through the counter at the doorway, and two glittering cards and two cloth bags containing a large handful of gold and silver coins were pushed out of the counter. Jin Yiwei handed him the things, arched his hand to signal that these were for him, and then turned to flash.

This is today's big customer, and a woman in Tsing Yi and plain clothes came out from behind the counter, and stood behind him with her hands tied up after giving a salute.

Lu Xiangsheng looked around, smiled chicly, and learned from others to hand the card to the woman behind him, and pinned the gold coin to his waist.

"There used to be wine and food here." Along the way, they ate and drank at the post station, and they all had little oil and water.

"This way, sir." Lu Xiangsheng followed the woman in Tsing Yi through the lobby, and behind it were seven or eight different small buildings. "There are a total of fifteen restaurants in Yangzhou Mansion, Guangzhou Mansion, Shaanxi and Gansu Mansion, two capitals and thirteen mansions, you see, sir."

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned and watched as he walked. Most of these restaurants are private rooms, and there are some seats in the lobby, but most of them seem to be the entourage of dignitaries, holding elbows, roast duck, roast whole sheep, etc., and munching on them, drinking glass after glass of wine with oily mouths, like the hellscape of a starving person.

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng sat down in the Zhejiang restaurant in his hometown, listened to the local sound that he had not listened to for a long time, and watched the flowing water send up rock sugar soft-shelled turtle, roasted whole chicken, pot river eel, red crab choking on the famous dishes of his hometown, and drinking Longshan Huadiao, as if he didn't know where he was.

In the next three days, the various patterns of this huge and well-informed Lu Xiangsheng were dumbfounded.

He watched as a group of people filled out the pieces of paper with numbers they couldn't think of and the numbers that twisted and turned, and threw them into a huge glass box. With the help of the woman in Tsing Yi, he was drunk and wrote down the number of one hundred taels and the number of Jiazi thirteen. Then he was sent to a luxury carriage pulled by tall horses and came to a huge horse farm on the outskirts of Beijing.

With the gold card in his hand, he was invited to the exquisite high-rise.

Leaning on the railing of a tall building, you can see the crowd of people waving notes in their hands on the humble steps downstairs. The tall building was a little deserted, and behind everyone stood this woman in Tsing Yi, next to an unlimited supply of fruits, snacks, tea and wine. A few businessman-looking people seemed to want to come over to talk, Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, and was stopped by the woman in Tsing Yi. Those people also seemed to know the background behind the four seas, and they just arched their hands and dispersed.

Boom~~ The horse pen was released, and ten well-dressed horses rushed out neighing.

Everyone else was applauding, jumping and cheering, but Lu Xiangsheng's hands on the railing were oozing blood. I've heard that there are hundreds of horses. If this is placed in Liaoxi, what a magnificent team it should be.

But when I looked closely, it turned out to be a spring horse for women to ride. He couldn't help laughing tears at his stupidity, sat down relaxedly, and poured his rare Fenjiu glass after cup.

The red flag of the horses rushing to the finish line.

He heard most of them utter vicious curses like cannons, tearing through the pieces of paper that had been sprinkled into the sky and flying like funeral money. But when the horses and the horse master were paraded around the field in the second race, the men wiped off their spits, drank a large bottle of tea for a tael of silver, and once again filled in the numbers they had placed on the blank sheets of paper.

"Congratulations to the lord for winning, you can win three hundred and forty-five taels in a single game." The woman in Tsing Yi said lightly.

"Return the principal, take the rest with me, and take it with me when I leave." This is my own seven or eight years of earnings, and I have won it, why do you want to stay here.

But he broke his promise again.

After another lunch, he was really addicted to it this time.
