Chapter 12 Straight to the point
After lunch, Han Mu waved his hand and said, "Go, prepare the county order honor guard!" ”
Zhao's main book: ......
He couldn't help but look at Gu Junruo, hoping that she could stop him.
Gu Junruo thought about it for a while, and didn't stop him, but said, "I'll go with me and give the next post to the Yue family." ”
Han Mu: "Why did you go to Yue's house first?" Didn't Master Zhao say that the Zeng family was the first in Yixian County? And the Yao family is the son-in-law of the Zeng family, can't we buy grain through the Yao family? ”
Gu Junruo: "Then are you willing to borrow grain from the Guantian and Yao families in Yi County?" ”
Han Mu directly refused, "I don't want to." ”
"That's it," Gu Junruo said: "The Yao family has already set their conditions, don't you want to, go to see them at this time, and rush to find humiliation?" ”
Gu Junruo took a piece of silver and handed it to Master Zhao, and said: "If we enter the Yue family, everything will listen to us, if we talk well, we will have dinner at the Yue family, this piece of silver will not be used, if the conversation is not good, when the meal is almost time, you will ask people to go to the restaurant to order a table of wine and food, and if you want the best table in the best restaurant, just say that it was called by the Yue family." ”
Master Zhao stretched out his hand to take it, he was still a little dazed for a while, and when he looked up and saw the deep meaning in Gu Junruo's eyes, he woke up with a stirring spirit, and couldn't help but bow down and respond: "Yes." ”
Han Mu pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Your trick to sow discord is too inferior, what if the Zeng family and the Yao family refuse to be fooled?" ”
"Anyway, we have to eat at night, and this piece of silver is not unjust."
Han Mu thought about it, and both of them left arrogantly.
Zhao's main book, which is holding the silver in the back: ......
Didn't you say there was no food?
Can such a large piece of silver buy wine and food compare with grain?
In a big restaurant, such a piece of silver is only enough for one meal, but if you buy rice and noodles, you can eat them for at least a month, right?
He also saw that the two of them were masters who didn't know the value of firewood, rice, oil and salt, Gu Junruo looked stronger than Han Mu, but it was not much stronger.
Master Zhao arranged a guard of honor for the two of them.
The officials had just eaten a full meal, and it was when they were full of enthusiasm that they quickly set up the honor guard of the county order for Han Mu.
Han Mu glanced around, nodded with satisfaction, and then helped Gu Junruo into the sedan chair first, he entered last, and the husband and wife sat opposite each other.
As soon as the gongs and drums struck, a melodious "Qi-" sounded outside.
The sedan chair swayed and lifted up.
Han Mu frowned, and whispered to Gu Junruo: "It's better to ride a horse." ”
Gu Junruo also replied in a low voice, "Then let's ride a horse next time." ”
She also felt uncomfortable sitting in a sedan chair, and the last time she sat in a sedan chair was when she got married.
Thinking of this, Gu Junruo glanced at Han Mu, but she was the only one in the sedan chair at that time, and the sedan chair was also spacious, not as crowded as it is now.
The narrow sedan chair looked a little hot, Han Mu lifted the corner of his clothes and fanned the wind, looked Gu Junruo on the opposite side up and down, and asked solemnly, "Are you rich?" ”
Gu Junruo knew what he was asking, when he was immediately sent out of Beijing to take up his post by the Holy Judge, the Jiang family attached a condition, except for the necessary entanglement, the husband and wife were not allowed to carry more gold and silver.
In the words of the Jiang family, this release is a punishment, it can be seen whether Han Mu is truly repentant, if he doesn't make some requirements and only does a general release, it is just to let Han Mu take advantage of the Han family's momentum to go to the place to be happy and happy, where to get the effect of punishment?
So even she can't bring too many things.
Gu Junruo glanced at him and said, "This is Xiaochan's, and there are only two yuan, so if we can't borrow food, we can only borrow Xiaochan's money to buy some food to survive." ”
Han Mu opened his mouth wide, and after a while, he said, "I'll go back and ask Xiaobei to see if he has any money." ”
Gu Junruo felt that Xuan, when they left Beijing, they were searched by the chamberlain and palace maids sent by the palace, she and Xiaochan were not very careful because they were female dependents, and Xiaochan was her maidservant, so there was an excuse to leave these two pieces of silver.
Xiaobei estimates that it is difficult.
The Jiang family couldn't wait to strip Han Mu of all the clothes on his body, how could they let them hide the silver and leave the capital privately?
Yixian County is so big, and Yue's house is not very far from the county government, and after shaking for a while, the sedan chair stopped.
Han Mu couldn't wait to go out, and took a deep breath, feeling much more comfortable.
He opened the curtain to help Gu Junruo get out of the sedan chair, he looked up at the door of Yue's house, lowered his voice and said to Gu Junruo: "It's useless for you to send that post, no one came out to greet you......"
After finishing speaking, the door of Yue's house opened, and a middle-aged man led a young man out quickly, and when he saw Han Mu and Gu Junruo standing next to the sedan chair, he immediately greeted him, "But the newly appointed county magistrate?" ”
Gu Junruo lowered his voice and said, "Isn't this useful?" ”
The two of them raised their faces at the same time to look at the middle-aged man, and at the same time showed a smile, Han Mu said with a decent chin and said: "Han Mu, the new county commander of Yi County, this is Neizi." ”
The middle-aged man immediately saluted, and at the same time introduced himself and the young man behind him, "Xiaomin Yuetai, this is the dog Jinghe, Jinghe, don't come up to meet the county monarch soon." ”
The young man with a cold expression stepped forward, saluted Han Mu, and said lightly: "Meet the county monarch." ”
Han Mu waved his hand casually: "No need to be polite. ”
He looked left and right and asked, "Are we going to talk here?" ”
Yue Tai seemed to have just reacted, and hurriedly turned sideways and enthusiastically invited them in.
As soon as he entered the front yard, Yue Tai asked people to invite Mrs. Yue, and he said apologetically to Gu Junruo: "Please don't blame Mrs., I really don't know that Mrs. came to the door, and there was a loss of welcome, and there was a loss of welcome." ”
Han Mu said, "Let her come with us, you don't have to ask Mrs. Yue to come." ”
"This ...... Isn't that right? ”
"What's wrong?" Han Mu said: "Anyway, the things to be discussed can't be separated from her, let's go, where is the front hall of your house?" ”
Yue Tai didn't expect Han Mu to be so direct, he turned sideways for a moment, and hurriedly invited him to the front hall.
The young man who had always looked cold also glanced at Han Mu, then turned his head to look at Gu Junruo, and he didn't know what he thought, he also smiled and followed them.
When they arrived at the front hall, everyone sat down in turns, Han Mu glanced at Gu Junruo, and when he saw her nodding slightly, he went straight to the point and said to Yue Tai: "Master Yue, you have also seen that the situation in Yixian County is now when the gentry and township elders are needed, and I came to borrow food today......
Yue Tai never expected Han Mu to be so direct, and after a pause, he hurriedly said: "My lord, I heard that the imperial court has a relief policy for the affected areas, alas, don't you know, my Yue family was also seriously affected by this flood, and there are still so many long-term tenant farmers to support, and now they can't make ends meet." ”
Han Mu: "I naturally know that Master Yue is difficult, but I also know that your family will definitely be able to borrow me some food, the Ming people don't say secret words, I can repay you the borrowed food, even if the court doesn't give relief to the grain, my Yong'an Hou Mansion will not be repaid." ”
