Early the next morning, Li Qing came to the Ministry of Rites, the items needed for the sacrifice were ready, and after a brief greeting, the group rushed to Xiaoling.

Didi sweeps the grave, goes to the grave, burns paper...... Such electronic businesses were all the rage in later generations, and Li Qing only felt that human nature was distorted and morally degraded when he first heard about it, and he never thought that there would be one in this feudal era.

Li Qing was a little speechless, and what was even more annoying was... No tipping.

……

Filial piety.

The altar is set up.

Li Qing cleaned his hands and stepped forward; The sacrificial officials cleaned their hands one after another and stood behind Li Qing, all of them with solemn faces and sad expressions.

After half a quarter of an hour of silence, the Ministry of Rites gave a loud voice with pathos in the matter: "Kowtow, worship~!" ”

Li Qing took the lead in paying homage, and the officials followed.

Then, get up and be silent.

"Prostrate, bow down."

……

After three bows and nine bows, he raised his voice in the middle of the matter, "Fire!" ”

"Pop ......"

There was a burst of firecrackers, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke, Li Qing bore the brunt of it, choking his nose and almost wanting to sneeze, but he held back.

"Deacons, each deacon." The voice sounded again.

Then, more than ten people carried food boxes and placed tributes and tributes in turn.

At the same time, the musicians are in place.

Li Qing and other officials mourned in silence, and after about three minutes, they sang in the middle of the incident: "Prostrate." ”

The crowd bowed down to the ground in adoration.

"Ups and downs."

The crowd stood up.

"Welcome the gods, play music."

Li Qing took out the lines that had been prepared a long time ago and recited them emotionally, mainly to report to Lao Zhu.

The southern expedition to Jiaozhi, the northern expedition to the grassland, the canal, the Western Ocean, and the compilation of the Yongle Canon...... Li Qing narrated one by one, except for the relocation of the capital, and the fourth child specially instructed him not to say it.

Zhu Di's achievements are indeed brilliant, and this series of measures, whether it is the current Ming Dynasty or the future Ming Dynasty, has a very far-reaching impact, even extending to hundreds of years later.

If Lao Zhu is really spiritual in the sky, and his son is so promising, he will feel gratified when he thinks about it...... Li Qing was meticulous and chattered.

~

After the tedious and lengthy ceremony, the officials took out the greetings and put them in small baskets in front of the altar, and then returned to their original positions to stand in silence.

Li Qing carried a small basket into the ancestral hall.

Lao Zhu's ancestral hall was originally only allowed to enter by Zhu Di, the emperor, or Xiaopang, the prince, but the Zhu family did not come, so Li Qing, who could do it, could only do it.

Incense, burn greetings, burn paper money......

Didi's grave sweeper brother Li Qing can be described as conscientious.

The altar table enshrines the old Zhu Ling seat, and the portrait of Lao Zhu on the wall is lifelike, not angry and arrogant.

After burning the paper money, Li Qing looked up at the portrait and was silent for a long time.

Time flies so fast, when I first entered Beijing, the scene of seeing this grassroots genius for the first time is still like yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, Lao Zhu has been dead for more than 20 years.

After a long time, Li Qing whispered to the portrait: "Don't worry, it's good, he... It's also good. ”

……

Back at the Hou Mansion, it was already afternoon, Li Qing simply ate something, asked Xiao Lizi to go shopping, and then took the three daughters to visit the capital.

Although the capital was moved, Jinling was the birthplace of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di still retained its title of Jingshi.

Accompany the capital is also all.

Nanjing city can be much more prosperous than Beijing city, the climate is also very pleasant, just the end of the first month, when the sun is shining, the temperature has been 16 or 7 degrees, the spring atmosphere is rich.

Everything is full of life.

On the streets, there are shops next to each other, and there are all kinds of shops.

The family started buying, buying, and shopping spree.

Ready-to-wear shops, seasonal clothes, Li Qing bought five sets for each of them.

Knowing that the three girls like sweets, Li Qing bought two large baskets in one go, not to mention, the taste is really good, not inferior to the pastries produced by the palace.

After strolling around until the evening, the family returned happily, and the Dongchang fanzi, who was pretending to be a servant, finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked relieved.

People say that Yongqinghou has strong bones, and they have seen it today, don't look at the crutches, the physical strength is abundant, even a few ladies, not to mention it.

Early the next morning, Li Qing went to the Cao Guo Mansion.

"Leaving so soon?" Li Jinglong was a little reluctant.

"Well, time is limited." Li Qing smiled, "When we're done, let's have another drink." ”

Li Jinglong was unconvinced: "The next time you drink, it must be you who vomits." ”

"That's not necessarily," Li Qing waved his hand, "Let's go." ”

"Let's go, let's go." Li Jinglong's face was full of disgust, "I'm busier than a dog all day long, and I haven't seen you ask for anything." ”

"Huh...... See you next time. ”

Li Qing hugged his fists and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Li Jinglong stopped.

Li Qing turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

"When you're old, don't be as presumptuous as when you were young." Li Jinglong advised, "You have to change your temperament of not suffering losses anywhere, occasionally suffer a loss, it is nothing to take soft, and there will be no shortage of meat;

There is nothing wrong with cowardice, live a long time, with your merits, even if you don't handle the case well, the emperor will not punish you, you have to have a rod and scale in your heart, and consider everything for yourself. ”

"Hey, got it." Li Qing sniffed, looked at Li Jinglong, whose hair was already a little gray, and squeezed out a smile, "Take care of your body." ”

Li Jinglong was a little sad, "Well, don't die Jiang. West. ”

“……”

~

Li Qing set off again, still taking the waterway.

Seven days later arrived in the river. West, it took two more days to turn around and travel to Xingan County.

When Wang Yuan, the magistrate of the county, received the news, he immediately put aside all the affairs at hand and came to visit in a hurry.

That kind of diligence made Li Qing, who had been in the officialdom for many years, feel uncomfortable.

Proper flattery will make people feel good, but too much flattery will not make people happy, and that's the case right now.

Wang Yuan's posture ...... It's almost called Li Qing Ancestor.

"Benchin is going to stay here for a while." Li Qing really couldn't stand this, so he interrupted, "Come out of the mansion to tidy up your residence, you should be busy with you, don't delay your official business." ”

"Yes, yes, the next official will do it." Wang Yuan hurriedly bowed his hand, "Lord Qincha wait a minute, it only takes half an hour to get off the official." ”

After that, he went in a hurry.

"Master Hou, what do you need from our family?" Xiao Lizi asked.

Li Qing took out a wad of treasure money, "Let Fanzi find a place to live nearby temporarily, rest for a day, and come to the county government to gather tomorrow." ”

After a pause, "My father-in-law worked hard and lived in the county government with Benhou." ”

"Lord Hou is polite, it is also the duty of our family to run errands for the emperor, why do you have to work hard?" Xiao Lizi's tone was passionate and his mood was agitated.

Li Qing could see that this little eunuch was not pretending, but really wanted to do something.

Who doesn't want to leave something behind?

Eunuchs have no heirs and do not enter ancestral graves after death, so their desire for 'fame' is even greater, even above civil officials.

In particular, the success of Sanbao has given some individuals hope.

What happened to the eunuch?

Who said that eunuchs can't succeed?

Which of the ministers mentioned the Three Treasures and dared to speak lightly?

They are all eunuchs, the Three Treasures can, we may not be able to!

The more people lack something, the more they care about something, the eunuch's crotch is a little shorter, and the waist pole is also a little bit, and the only bit of self-esteem that remains is extremely diagnosed.

They want to be recognized more than the average person!

In addition, the Three Treasures and Jewels have been successfully recognized, and these little eunuchs are full of enthusiasm and strive to be the second of the Three Treasures.

"Master Hou, what do you need our family to do, just tell me, don't be polite."

"yes, okay." Li Qing smiled and nodded, accustomed to it, and casually drew cakes: "Ben Hou is a real person, he has never been greedy for merit, and he works hard......"

Balabala......

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Lizi was successfully cpuded.

Wang Yuan's work efficiency was extremely high, and he rushed over in less than half an hour, "Lord Qincha, the residence has been sorted out, and please move." ”

"Well, Law, please lead the way."

There are three rooms in total, a guest hall, two wing rooms, the rooms are clean, the bedding is also brand new, the east wing room is much more exquisite, the two beds are put together, and the bed curtain is temporarily made.

"I have a heart." Li Qing was very satisfied.

"It's all the business of the lower officials." Wang Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and completed this in half an hour, he mobilized almost all the officials in the yamen, and said reservedly, "The conditions of the county government are limited, and the marquis has been wronged." ”

Li Qing smiled, "It's already good, go and find the gold ingots that burn porcelain to Ben Qincha." ”

"Yes......" Wang Yuan simply agreed, and immediately came back to his senses and said, "Now?" ”

"What, he's not here?"

Wang Yuan said dryly, "Lord Qincha, that... This one...... He is not in prison, and the smuggling matter has been heard from Yu Du before the official is in the matter, but ......

He didn't break the law!

Case-handling pays attention to evidence, he just burned the porcelain and sold it in Daming, and did not go to sea to smuggle it, and it was not easy for the lower officials to take people directly. ”

"I'm afraid I've received other people's benefits, right?" Xiao Lizi's yin and yang weird voice sounded.

Wang Yuan's heart froze, and he smiled stiffly, "Where did my father-in-law start with this?" ”

If you want to put it aside, a person who didn't dare to talk to him like this, he must just go back, but now it is different, although the East Factory has only been established for two years, but the momentum is catching up with Jinyiwei.

Although he was unhappy, he didn't dare to say it.

Xiao Lizi continued to be yin and yang: "Wang Zhi County has any benefits for accepting people, our family will go to investigate, I hope it is as you say." ”

"Uh, hehe......" Wang Yuan smiled a little bitterly, these days, how can a magistrate not take bribes, "Father-in-law can go and investigate." ”

Li Qing asked directly: "If the Japanese Qincha wants to see this gold ingot, can you do it?" ”

"Yes, yes." Wang Yuan didn't dare not agree, "Don't worry, your lordship, the next official will go and ask for ...... Oh no, go get him back. ”

"Well, go ahead and do it." Li Qing's face was pale, and he waved his hand casually.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan felt a lot of pressure, flattered him, and hurriedly went.

"Master Hou," as soon as Wang Yuan left, Xiao Lizi couldn't help but speak, "Let's see, this person has accepted bribes from others, why don't you go and investigate immediately?" ”

The rectification of corruption is also a credit, and Xiao Lizi has made great contributions with one mind.

"Do big things first." Li Qing shook his head slightly, "We are not familiar with each other, this prefect is still useful, and Benhou has something to bother his father-in-law to run in person." ”

"Master Hou, please speak."

"Go to Hongdu and inform King Ning," Li Qing groaned slightly, and said domineeringly, "Let him come to see me." ”

"Huh? This ......" Xiao Lizi was stunned: I knew that Yongqing Hou was awesome, but I didn't expect it to be so awesome, that is the king of the domain, let the family come to see you?

It is true that the Qincha represents the emperor, but it is not so big.

"Go ahead and do it, after returning to Beijing, you will be indispensable for the credit of Gonggong Li."

"Hey, let's go here." Xiao Lizi is also clever, even if he is guilty, he will not be held accountable, and this transaction will not be lost.

Follow Hou Ye to have meat to eat...... Xiao Lizi, who was cpu, thought happily.
