Master Feng and Huang Shijie agreed on the details again, and they were about to get up and say goodbye. Huang Shijie struggled to keep Master Feng for a meal together, Master Feng shook his hand and said, "I don't dare to stay for a long time, Master Zhang is still waiting for the news below." Say goodbye, farewell!" Master Feng said, got up and hugged his fist at Huang Shijie, turned around and walked out of the hall, and walked out of the Huang Mansion with a strong man.

Da Kui waited anxiously, and finally saw Master Feng come back, and couldn't help but ask urgently: "How are things going?" ”

Da Kui slapped his thigh: "Why can't it be today?" "Ah?" Master Feng was stunned and opened his mouth speechless.

Just as Da Kui was discussing the wedding with Master Feng, Xu Yuan came to report outside the door: "Lord Zhang asks to see Lord Yin of Longping Mansion." Da Kui hurriedly said, "Please." After a while, Yin Xiyuan, the king of Longping Mansion, walked into the room with a smile, and as soon as he entered the room, he congratulated him: "Congratulations to Lord Zhang, hahaha." Da Kui hurriedly invited Wang Xiyuan to sit down, and the two discussed that they became three.

After another moment, Xu Yuan came to report from outside the door: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Zhang, Yin Zhoujihuai of Lin'an Mansion and Li Tian of Lin'an Weaving are visiting. Da Kui couldn't help but look at Master Feng and Wang Xiyuan suspiciously: "I just returned to Longping, why did anyone know that I wanted to get married?" Wang Xiyuan smiled and said: "My lord doesn't know, and it is the way to be an official if he likes it, but there is no generous gift for the lower officials." Da Kui smiled and said, "Lord Wang can come, the official is already very happy... So let's all go to the front hall, and just in time for a banquet to entertain all the adults... ”

Da Kui, Master Feng and Wang Xiyuan went to the second floor of the front hall, and the two who had just arrived also went to the front hall together. Everyone sat down in greetings, and before the stool was hot, Xu Yuan came to report again: "Lord Kuizhou Mansion Yin and several county magistrates are downstairs, please see you." "Da Kui is dizzy, how is this good?

After another half an hour, Xu Yuan reported that someone had come to ask for a meeting. Da Kui had to order: "Everything is invited." It was lively, and in less than an hour, the entire second-floor seat was full. Longping is close to the three prefectures and seventeen counties, as long as the officials who bring the goods either come in person or send someone to give a generous gift. Upstairs are all fourth- and fifth-grade officials, and those below the fifth-grade and gift-giving people are all carrying gifts downstairs by Dong Hu to register and record them one by one, and prepare another banquet to entertain them.

Da Kui got up and bowed with his hands around and said: "This official marries and bothers all the adults to come, Da Kui is very grateful." All the officials present stood up and returned the salute, saying, "My lordship and I should come to congratulate you." The one said: "On the day of your marriage, don't forget to call the lower officials to come and kick with a whip." It is even more outrageous: "Since the adult marries our relatives, how dare I say the word "tired." Da Kui couldn't help but sweat when he heard this.

When the banquet was served, all the officials toasted frequently, and Da Kui responded one by one. After three rounds of drinking, Lin'an Weaving Li Tian got up and said, "Lord Zhang doesn't know where he wants to take his wife to?" Da Kui couldn't help but scratch his head when he heard this, and thought in his heart: "Yes, you can't take Huang Ying to this inn." He smiled and said: "Lord Zhang is an honest official, his sleeves are clean, and the officials are very admired." It just so happens that Xia Guan has a big mansion in Longping, and now he has the right to be a congratulatory gift on the happy occasion of Lord Zhang. As he spoke, he took out the deed that had been prepared from his bosom and walked over and presented it to Da Kui with both hands.

Li Tian's move made everyone present talk a lot, Longping Mansion (Suzhou) and Lin'an Mansion (Hangzhou) are known as heaven and earth, and these two places can be described as every inch of land. As soon as Li Tian made a move, it was a big mansion, and he immediately compared the others. Da Kui couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, Li Tian's move was already suspected of bribery, how should he deal with it as a general political envoy? Master Feng walked over with a smile and stretched out his hand to take the deed, and Yin Zhoujihuai of Lin'an Mansion on the side said with a smile: "Master Li's family has been in business for generations, and his shot is really extraordinary, hehehe."

When everyone saw Li Tian like this, they couldn't help but say in their hearts: "This guy must have kicked the donkey in his head, knowing that this political envoy is in charge of the integrity of hundreds of officials, but he is still blatantly bribeging, isn't it a long life?" But although the officials present thought so, they still followed one by one to flatter the gift list.

Master Feng stepped forward and smiled at each other, and Da Kui couldn't help but feel a little uncertain. Isn't it blatant bribery to accept gifts in this way? Although he thought so, he still couldn't stop thanking him, and all the officials gave them some reasons to leave. These people have been in the officialdom for a long time, so they naturally know that this etiquette is hot, and it must not look good if the general political envoy asks someone to send off the guests at the end of the banquet.

When everyone dispersed, Da Kui couldn't help but sit still. Hurriedly asked Master Feng: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to accept gifts like this." Master Feng smiled and said: "It's okay, the marriage of the adult is the matchmaker of King Wu, how can the officials of Jiangnan come empty-handed?" Da Kui couldn't help but ask again: "That Lin'an Weaving Li Tian actually sent the mansion, but there was some open fire to fight." Master Feng smiled and said, "Don't bother, my lord, that mansion is a stone for asking directions, and this is the order of King Wu." Da Kui suddenly understood.

At that moment, Da Kui summarized the upstairs and downstairs salutes one by one, and couldn't help but be shocked. The gifts given by these officials are not thin, brocade and jade, etc., not to mention, there are nearly 10,000 taels of real gold and silver alone.

Master Feng couldn't help but smile when he looked at the gift list: "These officials all know the proportions, and the gifts they give are just right. Da Kui couldn't help but be speechless, if these gifts are added to brocade and jade, how can this be called just right? But at this moment, Da Kui is not concerned about this, first move and marry a daughter-in-law.

Taihu Lake is known as the name of the five lakes, there are dozens of large and small islands in the lake, the peaks and peaks on the island are called the 72 peaks of Taihu Lake, although it is winter now, it does not hide the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains. There is a small county on the east bank of Taihu Lake called Wu County, which is under the rule of Longping Mansion. Although the county is small, it can be called the land of abundance, the land of fish and rice by virtue of the name of Taihu Lake.

There is a small hill called Dafu Mountain a few miles away from the east shore of Taihu Lake (this mountain is made up by Fenglang), and the ancient cypress of Jinpine on the mountain is evergreen all year round. At the foot of the hill is a large mansion that occupies a very large area and lives next to the farmhouse farm. This mansion is backed by mountains and looks at Taihu Lake in the distance, and the warm sun and winter snow reflect the pink walls and green tiles and eaves buildings, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a blessed land.

Da Kui and Master Feng rode over, and Da Kui sighed at a glance: "My mother-in-law, this house is too rough." Master Feng was puzzled and asked, "My lord, what does this rough gram mean?" Da Kui hurriedly covered up: "Oh, it's nothing, the official just praised this house for being beautiful, let's go." Go inside and have a look."

The two came to the front of the gate, only to see the carved beams and pillars of the gatehouse, and the plaque was hung horizontally under the gatehouse, and the book was written: Zhangfu, two large characters. The gate is two feet high and two feet wide, and the door is painted with vermilion lacquer to swallow the ring of strange beasts. Five bluestone steps in front of the door lead directly to the side of the road, there is a stone lion squatting on both sides of the stone steps, open teeth and dance claws like like wanting to choose people and devour, the carving is exquisite and lifelike.
