Chapter 212: Becoming an Official
The Hong family father and son also brought a chicken and four lanterns to the Zhang family.
Two big red lanterns are hung at the door to illuminate, and the two little rabbit lanterns are played by children.
As soon as Zhang Jinzhu saw it, he clamored for it.
Uncle Zhang liked this little grandson the most and took one for him to play with.
Zhang Jinshan is fifteen years old, and his family is telling him about his daughter-in-law.
Brother Hong was the same age as him, and the two quickly talked about going together.
In the evening, a table of good dishes was made, and several men accompanied the Hong family father and son to drink. The three Lilac siblings were honored guests and were also at the main table.
Today's Zhang family is more abundant, unlike before, the delicious food is only for guests and elders, and the others look at it dryly.
The three brothers and sisters lived in Zhang's house with peace of mind.
Hong Da had nothing to do, so he took Zhang Jinshan up the mountain to hunt. As luck would have it, they caught a roe deer on the first day, a wild goat on the second day, and a wild boar in a trap on the third day......
The father and son gave all the wild things to the Zhang family, and Zhang Jiale was broken, and he was very enthusiastic to keep them for a few more days.
There were so many wild things that he couldn't eat, so he left some meat, and most of Zhang Dabao took them to the mountains for takeaway.
The Liu family told the unmarried girls in Liuwa Village and Liujian Village to Brother Hong one by one. Although Brother Hong is lame, he is good-looking and has the skill of making lanterns, and many girls who want to go out of the mountain are still willing.
But Brother Hong has a very high eye, and he didn't even take a fancy to it.
The Zhang family didn't think to tell Zhang Qian to Brother Hong. One is that Brother Hong is lame, and Zhang Qian can find a better one. One is that he knows that Brother Hong likes beautiful girls, and Zhang Qian's appearance is average.
Ding Liren worked hard every day behind closed doors, while Ding Xiang and Ding Lilai followed Zhang Qiancun to play around by the river. Feifei was flying in the sky, and Brother Hong followed from afar.
The people in the village knew that Feifei was the pet of the granddaughter of the Zhang family, and they didn't dare to pay attention to it. Now the Zhang family is the richest in several villages in the mountains, and the son-in-law is the big shopkeeper outside the mountain, so he doesn't dare to provoke them.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Hong Da went back to Beiquan Village once, saying that those people came the day before yesterday.
Not only the senior officials of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also the senior officials of the provincial capital, the prefecture city, and the army, as well as several officials from the county magistrate and the county government all went.
Ding Zhao really became an official and was appointed as the deputy director of the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry, from Qipin.
When the imperial court needed him, he had to obey the dispatch and go to the capital Yu Heng Division and the local martial arts manufacturing bureaus to work. When he has nothing to do, he manages his own business.
I heard that Ding Zhao directly became the official of the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry, even if it was a false title, it was a surprise to Ding Xiang and everyone else. I thought it would be good for him to be a petty official in the Jiaodong Weapons Manufacturing Bureau, but it can be seen how satisfied and valued the imperial court is with this kind of fine iron.
The imperial court asked for this secret recipe and gave it to this petty official, so that Ding Zhao could receive it in the future.
This kind of secret recipe is closely related to the rise and fall of the imperial court, and I dare not give it. If you don't give it, the emperor will deduct a traitor hat for you and kill your whole family, and the secret recipe is still his.
The manufacture of weapons in the Great Li Dynasty was mainly managed by two departments. One is the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of the Ordnance Bureau in the capital. For convenience, there are also weapons manufacturing bureaus in several state capitals. One is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is in charge of the Staff Bureau.
After sealing this official, Ding Zhao will definitely go to the capital to try out weapons with the people from the Ordnance Bureau and the Staff Bureau.
Lilac thinks more, and Daddy's occasional trip to the capital will also be helpful to investigate the matter. Daddy looks loyal, but in fact he is cunning.
When Mr. Zhang heard that his son-in-law had become a seven-rank official, he burst into tears with excitement. He never dreamed that his son-in-law could be an official, or a Beijing official.
"Zhiniang is blessed, she is an official wife."
Liu said with a smile, "My father-in-law is also blessed, and I have a son-in-law who is an official, so you can wait to enjoy happiness when you are old."
Zhang Dabao suggested, "This is a great event, we have to invite a few tables."
Hong Da laughed and said, "Those people still have to stay in Gu'an Town for a few days. After they leave, the villagers of Beiquan Village and the Ding family will have a treat."
It means that if you want to have a treat, you have to leave and then invite them.
Mr. Zhang also felt that he should wait for the officials to leave before please.
Lilac though not
Seeing that scene, I can also imagine how excited the people of Beiquan Village and the Ding family will be. For the first time in so many years, Beiquan Village and the Ding family have produced a court official.
Tao Weng's household registration is not Beiquan Village, so it does not count.
At the end of the next day, Ding Lilai wanted to go to the Baishui River to catch fish. Zhang Jinshan took Ding Lilai, Ding Xiang, Aya'er, Hong Xiaoge, Zhang Hui, and Zhang Jinzhu to the back of the village.
Brother Hong also knew that Lilac was in distress at sea, and every time he came to the river, he would quietly tell her not to go near the river.
Even if Lilac knew that there would be no whales and sharks in the river, she didn't dare to get too close to the river.
She was frightened and a little dizzy.
She sat under a tree two or three feet away from the river bank with Feifei in her arms, and Brother Hong sat not far from her.
Only Zhang Jinshan went down to the river with his trouser leg alone, and the other few people watched by the river.
The blue sky is far away, the wind is beautiful, and the river is flowing from top to bottom.
So far away from the river, Lilac has a sense of security that there is solid land beneath her.
Sitting here, you can faintly see the Yellowstone Mountain in the distance and the mud-walled courtyard and thatched roof on the mountain.
Feifei looked at Jitou Peak and "cooed", especially wanting to invite the little master to his house as a guest.
Lilac wants to go more. There is an aura there, and there is more than one Ganoderma lucidum, and maybe there is more than one ginseng.
But she is now nearly fifty pounds, and it will definitely be more than fifty pounds when she comes back with something, and she can't fly that far away with such a heavy fly.
Even if she lost weight and Feifei was able to move, she didn't dare to start from here, for fear of being discovered.
Unless there is the cooperation of grandpa and daddy, the starting point is Huangshi Mountain.
Now Lilac can only hope that Feifei will go and bring the lingzhi and honey butter incense home.
Lilac turned her back to Brother Hong, pointed there with a small hand and whispered, "Chicken Head Peak, Chicken Head Peak......
For so many days here, as long as there was no one around, she would point there and say these words to the little things repeatedly.
It must be given a reinforcement of the concept of these three words.
Today's luck was not good, I didn't catch a big fish, but I used a fishing basket to make half a basket of small green shrimp.
Zhang Jinshan smiled at Brother Hong and said, "My second aunt is the best at making drunken shrimp, let her make it for you today."
Then he said to Lilac and Dingley, "You are delicate, my father will not let you eat that."
Ding Li hurriedly said, "My sister is delicate, I am not delicate at all." Seeing that Lilac looked at her unhappily, she said, "Sister, don't eat that kind of shrimp, you will beat us if you know."
When a few people went home, Liu cleaned the shrimp several times and raised them in the water to spit sand. Rice wine and white wine, minced green onions, ginger and garlic, chili, coriander, vinegar and other seasonings were also prepared.
Lilac had eaten drunk shrimp a few times in her previous life and liked it very much.
The environment of this world is not polluted, the Baishui River flows down from the high mountains, there are no people upstream, and the fish and shrimp raised must be clean.
In the evening, a small half pot of drunken shrimp is served to the large table, and a bowl is served to the small table.
