Unlike the Central Plains, there is no such thing as a male and female defense. Tian Xiuwen walked out, and after a while, the courtyard in the back hall was full of people. Tian Dou's introduction, the second brother and sister, the third brother and sister, the daughter-in-law, the niece and daughter-in-law, there are more than a dozen people, this is not counting the girls in the boudoir, this is the orphan and widow. Although he is full of loyalty, he is accused of treason.

Chen Lu only felt that the fire was colliding upward, the Celestial Empire was established for decades, and it has been more than ten years since the land was changed here, and there is such a thing? Gu Dashuai said that this place is a paradise on earth.

At this time, everyone asked Tian Weng if he was safe, and Chen Lu said that the old man was fine. Eighty-two years old, the backbone of this family, as soon as he is gone, the sky will fall.

Chen Lu asked hatefully, "Where is the master you are talking about?"

Tian Dou waved his hand and asked these people to go back. Without waiting for her to speak, Tian Xiuwen said, "Mother-in-law, the big tooth of the inspection center is here." ”

Tian Dou said please, and Chen Lu returned to the living room. A soap official in his thirties was sitting on the main seat, and Tian Xiuwen was pouring him tea.

Si Daya spoke politely: "Tian family, don't be polite, I'm not coming back." As he spoke, he slammed into the gaps between his big buckteeth, and the spit was spraying like a watering can.

Tian Dou asked with a smiling face, "Is there something wrong with the poor master today?"

"It's not a big deal, Master Chu said, there are guests in your house, is it that Zun Weng has found someone to bring silver, let me come and have a look." ”

Chen Lu watched in the hall for a long time, but he turned a blind eye, didn't he know the official uniform? Chen Lu was very angry, and he didn't speak, walked over, pulled him along, and said to Tian Dou, "Please sit on the main seat, old lady." ”

Si Daya glanced at Chen Lu angrily, and found that he was indeed sitting in the wrong seat, so he wanted to sit in the guest seat, but Chen Lu had already sat in the first place. This time, Chen Lu completely understood that this little soap official had no knowledge, and he really didn't know the official uniform.

Seeing whether he was sitting or standing, Chen Lu was playful and said, "Hey, brother, what you said is really accurate, people with big teeth are different, and people with buck teeth are even more unusual." Brother, you are this. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb and compared. Si Daya listened to him with big teeth, felt uncomfortable, looked at him and gave him a thumbs up, thinking that Chen Lu didn't know himself, and said, "Who are you, I don't know you." ”

Chen Lu said: "I just said that you were accurate, but you are confused again, I was sent back by Tian Weng, there is nothing else, send silver." ”

Si Daya's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's not my credit, in our nine towns and eighteen mountains, every fly that flies in knows it." ”

Chen Lu pretended to be surprised and said, "Wow, so powerful, you guys." "Raise a middle finger.

Si Daya said, "What does this mean?"

Chen Lu said: "It's a pity that you are also from the Celestial Empire, and you don't even know this, this is the most powerful meaning." ”

"Ao, I'm lonely, so how much silver did you bring for the Tian family?"

Chen Lu said, "One hundred taels of silver, twenty taels of gold." ”

"Ah, so much!" Xiang Tian Dou arched his hand and said, "Seeing that it is getting dark, I have to go back." "After that, I took my leave.

Of course, Tian Dou knew that Chen Lu was ridiculing him. After he left, Tian Dou said: "Come on, he believes it is true, go back and tell Master Chu and Master Qin, they will soon come to the door to ask for silver." ”

Chen Lu said, "Do you owe them any money?"

Our tea garden has been confiscated, but we can lease it, twelve taels of silver a year, half of which is still missing. Then there is the repair of the text, the one-year service fee was not paid, and it was paid in advance by the inspection at that time, and it was more than ten taels with interest. ”

"Didn't the old lady say that he would not reach service age until next year?"

Dou saw that although he was an official and called Tian Weng's friend, he came here to talk nonsense, although he had no malicious intent, but he didn't say anything serious, and he also provoked the plague god of the inspection center. So he reluctantly explained: "This year, the imperial court is going to march south again, and at the age of fourteen, he will join the army, and when he arrives there, he will be fifteen years old." This is the only seedling in our family, and we admit how much money we have, but we don't want him to serve. ”

Chen Zicheng, who is really good at calculating and not calculating, expressed his convincing, and he was just about to speak, Dou said: "The adults haven't said what the family has asked you to do? The poor woman doesn't dare to keep you, the old man will come in a while, you better leave quickly." Whether you are an official or a citizen, you have to listen to Master Chu here. ”

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, but understood, he didn't say anything serious, he asked long and short questions, which annoyed others, and said: "Old lady, I have just told that big tooth, but the numbers are wrong." ”

"Oh, it's really a lot of money, I thought you were entertaining him. I know, how can there be so much money, but my lord, you hooked out other people's gluttony, you put down your things and leave, I won't leave you to eat. ”

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and stopped outside the courtyard. Two officers burst in with a sentry soldier, and without even saying hello, they went straight into the hall.

Tian Dou took Tian Xiuwen to welcome him in, knelt down and kowtowed. Chen Lu looked at the costumes of these two people, one was wearing a embroidered patch, the patch was missing a corner, and the other had no patch, and he couldn't help but want to laugh. These two perverted masters, one is a deputy hundred, and the other is the president. The deputy hundred households are the lowest rank among the military attachés, and the general is always a general flag commander.

Both of them are in their fifties, and Master Chu is straight to the point: "Is there someone from Dalu River?" ”

Chen Lu saw that they were full of authority, and he couldn't help it, and laughed loudly. Si Daya said, "That's him." Don't laugh, the lord is running an errand, have you lived enough?"

At this time, Tian Xiuwen lit a candle, and the two masters found that there was still a person standing. Under the candlelight, Chen Lu's red heron was supplemented. Of course they know, this is a six-rank official, and a six-rank official can only wear a green robe, this is a Qincha costume, and the official is one level older.

Chen Lu usually only wears a green robe, but these few times it was because the green robe was too old that he wore this Qincha costume. The two of them muttered, how could there be a chagrin here? They didn't receive any tickets or rollovers.

They were a little skeptical, although they didn't dare to slack off, but they didn't kneel down and kowtow, just made a gesture, and said without humility or arrogance: "I've seen adults." ”

Chen Lu said: "You are a master, my old man thought it was Gu Dashuai, but it turned out to be the two of you! Or if you have no one in your eyes, my big green horse is outside, don't you know the official horse?"

When Chu Baihu heard this, he didn't look like an official! This was probably a water-injected pork. So he asked, "Dare to ask which yamen your lord belongs to? What is your business here? Why haven't we received a ticket or a rollover?" ”

"Why are there so many questions? Why are 100,000 thousand? What rank are you? Dare to say that you have received a roll-on order? My old man told you, you don't need to ask me, I have nothing to do with the yamen, I am just Tian Weng's messenger, and I can't talk to you. ”
