144. Gifts were given flowers

Yuan Rui and his entourage stayed in Jijiazhuang for three days, and then set off south again, this time to the county lord's mansion in Hangzhou.

In the past few days, Yuan Rui took the county lord to worship his ancestors first, and then went to pay tribute to Yuan Rui's parents.

Mrs. Xu specially participated in the sacrifice, and for 20 years, Mrs. Xu had always thought that this friend had died a long time ago, but she did not expect that she had already married and left a son, but in the end she did not escape the catastrophe and died early.

At this time, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but mention the dusty past.

Mrs. Xu, who was still in the Han family before she was married, recognized Miss Hu family, at that time, the Han family, the Hu family and the Xu family were all relatively noble families in the court, and they were all military generals, and they had frequent exchanges with each other.

A few little girls gradually got acquainted with each other, and Miss Han also liked this younger sister more, and the two sometimes even lived together.

Hu Qingwei is a few years younger than Miss Han, she mainly plays with her brothers and sisters, and often follows her brothers to learn art and practice martial arts.

Later, Miss Han married into the Xu Mansion, and Hu Qingwei entered the palace as a female official, and both of them became close to Xining Shengshang, and the relationship became better.

But it didn't take long for that to happen, and there was no more news.

"I really didn't expect that my daughter would marry Qingwei's son in the end, this fate!"

Looking at the two, Mrs. Xu sighed, "We used to talk nonsense together, and we said that if we have children in the future, let them get married, and we can meet often in the future, but now it has come true, I can't think of it, I can't think of it." ”

"Mother, it's all your fault, you have to blame, if it weren't for you, who would look up to this nerd."

"County Lord, no one is wrong, God arranged it like this, no matter how far you run, you can't escape."

"Bah, it's you, I don't know what tricks you played, otherwise who would recognize you."

"That's right when you say that, I really played a trick, you don't remember, the first time I was in the monastery, I knew you couldn't escape!"

"Wow, it turns out that you started beating me up at that time, and you're too bold!"

"It's really not me, you know no, the second son specially asked people to inquire, let me grasp it."

"Hmph, you two are not a good thing."

Mrs. Xu walked in front, listening to the county lord and Yuan Rui arguing there, and the smile on her face became even stronger.

The old man of the Lu family took his family home, and this time he went to Hangzhou, leaving only two mothers-in-law to accompany him.

Before leaving, his sister specially talked to him for a while, Yuan Rui originally invited his sister and brother-in-law to join him, and they began to agree.

But when she arrived in Jijiazhuang, Yuan Qing found out that she was pregnant, so there was no way to go south together.

Now that my sister has a son and a daughter, she doesn't have any special needs in this belly, but when she thinks of the matter between Lu Ergongzi's family, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Sun, Yuan Qing thought about telling her younger brother.

Lu Lao Er, now he has a daughter, born to Mrs. Zhang, he likes it very much, he is a person in the rivers and lakes in his bones, and he has no consciousness about his children and grandchildren.

But when Miss Sun entered the door, the situation was different, and now the two ladies were competing to have a son.

It is said that Mrs. Sun has an innate advantage, but after entering the door, her stomach is also normal, and the first child gave birth to a daughter.

This time in the capital, even Yuan Qing was a little annoyed, and persuaded several times behind his back, but the two of them were not so obvious.

For Yuan Rui's younger brother, she knows more deeply, and he is also a straight intestine, so she doesn't bother with it, for fear that he will have any preferences for his two wives.

Especially the county lord, Jin Zhi Yuye, don't just think about the river and ignore the county lord's feelings.

However, Yuan Qing was a little relieved that there was no such thing as a son between the two, after all, the two inheritances in the future.

This time, there was one more person on the boat, Li Aniu from Lijiazhuang, which was one of the purposes of Yuan Rui's trip.

Yuan Rui had this idea a long time ago, but it was really not suitable at that time, Mother Li was still there, and Li Aniu couldn't travel far.

This time, Yuan Rui specially discussed with Li Zheng, in Lijiazhuang, Li Aniu is to herd cattle, plant fields, and marry a daughter-in-law when he is older to live a small life in peace.

But Yuan Rui always remembered Li Aniu's kindness of reporting the letter twice, and thought that there was a chance to pull a hand to see if he could let this kid come out and make a name for himself in the future.

Li Zheng must be willing, who doesn't know the name of Yuan Xianggong, if Ah Niu can follow him, he will really be able to make some outstanding achievements in the future, and he will help Yuan Rui say a lot of good things on the side.

Yuan Rui arranged for Ah Niu to follow the mountain first, starting from some small things, and slowly learning some reception inside and outside the house. When the opportunity is ripe, let him do some things like buying and arranging.

entered the county lord's mansion, according to the county lord's wishes, the two ladies lived in the main courtyard, Yuan Rui still lived in the courtyard on the left, and the county lord lived in the courtyard on the right.

However, the two ladies disagreed, and Mrs. Xu directly pulled Mrs. Lin to the courtyard on the left, and they also liked the hill very much, saying that they could go around the mountain when they were fine.

Since the county lord and Yuan Rui are married, they must live in the main courtyard, and the courtyard on the right is just for Xiaohe, so it is very convenient for everyone.

The county lord really couldn't resist his mother, so he had to agree.

The family and the soldiers are easy to solve, and there are already many wings in the county lord's mansion, so it is no problem to arrange these more than 100 people, but there is really no place to place the soldiers of the five hundred guards at once.

Han Zhen still thought of a way, the county lord's mansion was originally very large, and the protection of the surrounding area was also very important, so he divided his five hundred people into five hundred teams, and arranged a hundred team in each direction.

He took the remaining hundred-man squad as a reserve and lived behind the main entrance. Not to mention, with such an arrangement, the next step will be simple, the county lord's mansion is originally a palace, and it is relatively easy to arrange a hundred people in one place.

After resting for two days, Hu Honghai came to the county lord's mansion.

When he entered the Hangzhou Mansion, Hu Honghai did not come to the county lord's mansion, and went directly to the Hangzhou prefect Ma Lin and the Hangzhou general Fang Yan.

There was also an acquaintance of Yuan Rui who followed Hu Honghai, Hangzhou General Fang Yan, during this time, he was in a hurry, and he had been looking forward to Yuan Rui coming.

The big ship in the shipyard has reached the most critical time, if Yuan Rui can be on the side to give guidance, at least there will be no big mistakes, he really has no bottom in his heart.

The county lord was not bad, came forward to say a few words, and went out to chat with his mother.

"Congratulations to Lord Yuan first, I'm a little hasty in my preparations, I'm sorry."

Waiting for the county lord to go out, Fang Yan hurriedly took out a small red cloth bag from his sleeve and apologized again and again.

"Lord Fang, don't be polite between us, you also know, I don't lack silver, there is no need to be so angry."

Yuan Rui thought that Fang Yan would take gold or silver as a gift, but he felt that it was really unnecessary.

"Lord Yuan, it is because adults look up to me that I dare to prepare this congratulatory gift, if it is someone else, there is no such opportunity at all, no, I dare to take it out with a cheeky face." Fang Yan opened the red cloth as he spoke.

"My lord, you see, this is Tian Huangshi from Zhangzhou, and it was also given to me by someone else, saying that it is the best to make a private seal. You know that I am a layman, and any official business or something is official, but you are different, Hanlin, Xinke Jinshi, you do need a private seal. I made the decision, and invited Yang Yugui, a more famous seal carving master in Hangzhou, to make a positive seal first, and the others are useless. After speaking, he handed over the red cloth bag in his hand.

Hu Honghai sat on the side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the end, it was a talent trained by the saint himself, and he was an experienced worker, and he could even give gifts so many tricks.

Look at people, first of all, they admit to giving gifts, and they also explain that they are reluctantly attached, and it is your close people who can be qualified to give gifts, so that you have no reason to refuse at all.

Secondly, let's talk about the gift itself, which is the most elegant, you say it's valuable, one or two Tianhuang and one or two gold, you say it's not valuable, that's the stone, carved seals, can be worth more.

Look at the mind again, first find the master to engrave the private seal and then send it, this intention is sincere enough, you don't want it, your own private seal is not good to throw out.

In the end, they also prepared several more for you, some big and some small, so that you can use them however you want, so you are embarrassed to blame him for making his own decisions.

This Fang Yan, there is a master by his side!

Yuan Rui is not as experienced as Hu Honghai, but he also knows that this congratulatory gift is not simple, at least find a master to shoot, it is not something that ordinary people can do, and he also deliberately mentioned his name, which is even more amazing, which shows that this person is more expensive than Tian Huang.

"Lord Fang, if you say this, I really don't dare not accept it, then I won't be polite to you."

Once Yuan Rui understands the situation, he will directly make a judgment, and he will not procrastinate at all, and the people around the saint are necessary.

"Lord Hu, you also know each other, I won't tell you, Lord Hu is my cousin, in the future, he is the person in charge of the sea trade, and now he is a sea ship, whether it is the goods or the strategy of the court in the future, you must look for him."

"Master Hu, I know, I recognize, when I was in the capital, I dealt with Lord Hu. I am very fortunate that I have been under the hands of the prince of Xia Guo for a period of time, and I am deeply cared for by the prince, and I am still grateful! ”

A few people chatted a few more words, and after half an hour, Fang Yan himself first proposed his farewell.

Yuan Rui and Hu Honghai sent Fang Yan back to the hall and sat down, originally Hu Honghai also wanted to say goodbye, the two of them came together, it would not look good if one was left, but Yuan Rui found a reason to keep him, that is, the official business of Haimao.

Here, Yuan Rui hadn't said a word to Hu Honghai yet, and the swaying county lord walked in at this time.
