At dusk, a red sun hangs on the thin branches, and the sunset shines on the river, floating and golden.

The red sun is like a little girl's red face, and the sky is full of colorful clouds, fiery red, golden, silver-gray, like the silk of a fairy.

Yunxi County is like an ancient giant beast, quietly crawling on the ground, and the afterglow spreads a golden halo on her.

Pedestrians on the streets of the county town were in twos and threes, and at the gate of the city, Xu Fugui and they stepped on the stone road.

They looked down and saw red confetti from firecrackers scattered on the stone pavement, colorful flags fluttering on both sides of the street, and slogans on the walls outside the shops.

Obviously, today's Yunxi County is also ushering in a carnival, which is much larger than Xujia Village.

Without stopping, they went straight to Chen's Mansion, where there were more red confetti in front of Chen's Mansion, piled up in a thin layer, and there were several big red lanterns hanging under the eaves.

The black door was open, and when Aunt Chen saw them, she hurriedly welcomed them in warmly.

"Where's my dad?" Walking into the Chen Mansion, Jiazhen asked with a smile.

"Sir entertains guests in the hall."

Jiazhen sighed, "Then let's go to the backyard, Fengxia, be quiet, don't disturb the guests." ”

Feng Xia nodded, turned her head and covered Youqing's mouth, "Did you hear it, my mother asked you not to speak." ”

When he came to the backyard, Xu Fugui had just sat on a rattan chair, and Chen Liping, who was carrying a long robe, hurriedly walked over.

"Daddy."

"Grandpa."

Chen Liping waved his hand, said hello to them, and then came to Xu Fugui, "Fugui, come with me, I can't resist it." ”

Xu Fugui looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"You come with me first."

got up and followed Chen Liping towards the hall, and on the way Chen Liping said: "Those big bosses are coming to the door again?" ”

"Again?" Xu Fugui frowned.

Chen Liping nodded, "I told them earlier, I don't know about the marriage between the county seat and the director, but they don't know where to find out, and they came directly to me at home today." ”

"I want to give a gift to the county magistrate through your relationship, they have been friends for many years, and I am not refusing, nor is it refusal."

"Alas, Fugui, you don't know them, you can just open this mouth."

Xu Fugui chuckled all his life, smoothed the folds on his shirt, and strode into the hall.

As soon as I walked in, good fellows, there were several people in their fifties sitting on the Taishi's chair.

They generally wore black silk robes, held canes in their hands, and wore jade wrenches on their thumbs, and they knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people.

After they saw Xu Fugui, they were stunned for a moment, then stood up with a smile on their faces, and arched their hands: "It turned out to be Fugui, come, sit down." ”

"The Xu family has a unicorn, we used to look away, but now it seems that the Xu family is going to prosper again."

"Brother Chen, you have found a good son-in-law, we can't envy this kind of luck."

Before the butts sat down, a bunch of good words came out of their mouths, and they were enthusiastic as if they knew each other well.

Xu Fugui sat down with a smile and greeted them modestly, since they were not in a hurry, he was willing to talk to them.

Chen Liping looked at the faces of these people and couldn't help snorting coldly in his heart.

When Jiazhen married the Xu family, these people didn't know how to laugh at him for having a second-rate son-in-law.

It's good now, seeing that Fugui is about to get up, they have come to the door to stammer, this is the human heart!

However, Chen Liping is also quite useful, and looking at Xu Fugui is more pleasing to the eye, and he does not have the feeling of disgust before at all.

After greeting for a while, it wasn't until the sunset was hidden behind the mountain that someone couldn't help but say: "Fugui, don't hide it, this time we came with a request." ”

Xu Fugui looked at them with a smile, "To put it in detail, you are all my elders, and if the kid can help, he will definitely not refuse." ”

When these big bosses heard this, they were touted again, and good things continued.

"Ahem, that's the case, I heard that you have a good relationship with Du County and Director Zhong?"

"Sort of."

These people looked at each other excitedly, and said tentatively: "We also heard that Du County and Director Zhong are going to get married in a state-run hotel tomorrow?" County Magistrate Du still asked you to handle the marriage? ”

Xu Fuchu nodded again, "That's right." ”

These people were even more excited, and asked: "That's the case, Fugui, County Magistrate Du's marriage is a major event in the entire Yunxi County, can you let us also go and be happy?" ”

Xu Fugui shook his head, "I'm afraid this won't work, County Magistrate Du said that he would do it small, and he would only invite insiders." ”

"Yes, yes, we know that Du County is a high-spirited and bright festival, and we don't want to work hard and lose money, we really admire it, and we don't want to disturb the county magistrate, just thinking about whether we can give the county magistrate a thin gift."

These people looked at him worriedly, they desperately wanted to get in touch with Du Yuzhi, since ancient times, only with the support of those in power, they businessmen had room to survive.

Xu Fugui's fingers tapped on the table, and just as he was about to speak, these big bosses suddenly took out a few boxes and put them on the table.

"Fugui, I heard that you love tea, this box of Longjing tea is not worth much, you can take it back and taste it."

"Hehe, I have a foreign cigarette here, I heard what it's called, I'm old, I'm not used to it, don't dislike it."

"Coincidentally, I have two bottles of foreign red wine here, and I can't get used to drinking them, Fugui, I'll give them to you."

"These things, I originally asked Brother Chen to hand them over to you, but I didn't expect to see you today."

Looking at the flattering smiles of several people, Xu Fugui looked at them with a smile, and in their apprehensive gaze, he nodded lightly.

"Cheng, you want to congratulate the county magistrate, I have no reason to stop it, I will go to the state-run hotel tomorrow, and I will accept your congratulatory gifts on behalf of the county magistrate."

These bosses were relieved, smiled from the bottom of their hearts, bowed their hands again and again, and said good things flatteringly.

"It's not early, then we won't bother anymore, so let's leave first."

Chen Liping stood up and symbolically reserved them for dinner, but these people politely refused and left with their long shirts.

They have to hurry up and count the congratulatory gifts they will prepare tomorrow, and whether they can get in touch with County Magistrate Du depends on this time.

Chen Liping looked at their departing backs and shook his head, if he didn't have a son-in-law to mention it, I'm afraid he would also be one of them.

Who would have thought that County Magistrate Du would deliberately accept their congratulatory gifts and then use this to clean them up?

In the hall, Xu Fugui picked up the two foreign cigarettes, and as soon as he got his hands, he felt that the weight was wrong.

When I opened it, it was a cigar on the surface, and when I took out the cigar, there were a number of gold bars inside!

Xu Fugui held his breath, quietly put the cigar back, and checked the Longjing tea and foreign red wine, which also contained a number of gold bars.
