Chapter 52: The Tiger Skin is Born
The young lady thought about it, it was the two Chu State merchants.
On that day, the king hung a plaque to open the mansion, and many onlookers came, and when he sent the king out of the mansion, he saw two people with good faces, it turned out to be them, and he didn't know how to recognize himself. In the past few days, the news of the opening of the house has spread, and this kind of thing is indispensable for a while.
The young lady thought of this and said to Mei: "In the future, when I come to pay tribute, the officials will make an appointment at one point, and the rest of the people will make an appointment at one point, and it is best to make an appointment in one day." ”
"That's what we want to do," May said. ”
The young lady said, "There are not enough rooms in our house, and it is about to be winter, so let's see if you can vacate a larger house in the front yard for the visitor's family to rest." ”
Mei said, "Okay, I'll arrange it later." ”
The young lady thought that there was nothing to do, so she asked Mei to remember to come in time to call herself in the afternoon, and then let Mei out.
Now that the young lady has just entered the fairy stream, as long as she is not in the middle of the call, she will definitely be able to hear her.
When the young lady returned to the cave, she first went to get three tiger skins, put them in a hemp cloth bag, and returned to the jade bed to play the jackfruit Heart Sutra.
Two hours later, Mei shouted at Miss Mei's voice, so she took her work, carried the burlap bag out of the cave, returned to the house, put the burlap bag on the bed, went out, and saw Mei standing in the courtyard and shouting.
The young lady said, "Stop shouting. ”
Mei saw Miss come out and followed Miss into the house.
The young lady said, "A few adults will come later, so help me change my official uniform first." ”
Quickly changed the official uniform for the young lady, put on the official hat, and went out together to look at the sundial placed in the backyard, it was almost time to apply.
The young lady said, "Go find someone to clean up the living room, and let the chief butler come to see me." ”
Soon after the young lady returned to the house, the chief butler came.
The young lady asked the chief butler how about going to the palace in the morning.
The chief housekeeper said: "When I arrived at the palace, I was about to disperse, but everyone in the palace knew me, and I heard me say that I had something urgent to find the king, and I put it directly into the palace. ”
The officials in the hall also knew that the king had obtained a lot of good things from the strange girl. Ji De thought about the tiger skin scraps he got, and thought that it was really worth it, so he used the leftovers of the national ceremony to make a set of clothes and wear them, lift his spirit, and go home to show off to his wife, women love gossip, and Ji Xiang also knew what happened in the hall.
The young lady asked the butler to prepare to go to the door with her to greet the guests, and the butler said that he had nothing to prepare. She is also familiar with these people, and it turns out that she has gossiped a lot in the palace, and there is no pressure.
The young lady came to the living room with the big butler first, and the four maids were moving the screen.
The two of them helped to move, watching the young lady grab the screen with one hand and lift the screen and put it on the wall, the maids secretly sighed.
After helping to set up the screen, after the maids set up the fruit lacquerware, the young lady led all the maids to the gate together, ready to welcome the adults.
The doorman saw that the young lady and the maids were coming together, and came to greet him.
In ancient times, gifts to officials were generally to hand over the prayer post first, make an appointment with the time, and then bring the gift. If there is no post, the guest goes first, and after the host is sure that the host is at home and can receive the gift, send someone back to come again with the gift team.
The last time Ji De came, he didn't send a greeting post first, and after seeing him was brought in by the people in the house to see Miss, Ji Xiang only took a horse home to lead the gift-giving team, and when Ji De was leaving, Ji Xiang led the gift-giving team and just returned shortly. Moreover, they do not hand over the prayer post to visit directly, and the officials who are worshiped generally do not go out to greet them.
This time, they all handed over the post, and Miss didn't reply to the post of not accepting gifts, so Miss came out early to greet her.
The young lady stood outside the door and watched each other with the passers-by, and the pedestrians stopped one after another, such a handsome junior official is very eye-catching, and the Polymath Mansion is very popular these days. The people don't know what the new yamen is doing, and the two sides are already being demolished, and the movement is also big, so pedestrians want to see this legendary figure with their own eyes.
After a while, there was a sound of people shouting horses and neighing cows, sheep, chickens and ducks on the street, and the first thing that appeared in the eyes of the young lady was a carriage, followed by a group of gift-giving teams, driving cattle and pulling horses, and the young lady remembered that this was a gift from the general's post, two cows, ten horses, and thirty silk. Needless to say, the general has arrived.
Seeing that the general got out of the carriage, the young lady stepped forward to greet her, and asked Mei to lead her into the living room to entertain her first, and she continued to wait.
A guard led the general's gift-giving procession into the gate to hand over to the miscellaneous group, and came back to continue staring.
Followed by Ji Ping's gift-giving team, there were 20 stones of grain, 20 pieces of silk, 5 horses, Miss knew who was coming as soon as she saw the gift, and when Ji Ping got off the carriage and worshipped, she let the apricot lead the way in.
followed by Liu Yu's gift-giving team, Liu Yu observed his words and feelings, and knew that the king liked Miss, so he also came to stammer.
When the young lady saw a team of palace maids holding boxes, she knew that it was him, twenty taels of gold, thirty taels of silver, one hundred pearls, and ten pieces of silk. The young lady asked Peach to lead her in.
Then there is the team led by three carriages, and you don't need to look at the gifts to know that it is three internal histories.
The three internal histories didn't want to come so early, but when they heard that Ji De had already visited Miss, they didn't dare to slack off, so they visited in advance. Their gifts were mixed together, five sheep, five pigs, fifty chickens, thirty horses of silk, and ten stones of grain.
The young lady personally accompanied the three adults to the living room with the big housekeeper and Lan, and when they passed by the kitchen, the big housekeeper and Lan went in to carry the kettle.
The young lady took the three adults into the living room, the general Ji He, the Xiangguo Ji Ping, and the eunuch Ling Liu Yu were already seated, kneeling behind the table and eating fruit.
The three of them met the salute one by one, found a table to kneel behind together, the young lady also found a table to sit down, the chief butler and Lan also arrived with the kettle, and poured tea next to the table and went out, leaving Mei and Xing at the door to wait.
Seeing that she had settled down, the young lady arched her hand and said, "Your Excellency is polite, thank you here." ”
The others also bowed and said, "Your Excellency should congratulate you on the new opening of the mansion." ”
The young lady said: "When the official first enters the officialdom, it is inevitable to be rude, and I hope that you will be Haihan." “
Others said, "Your Excellency is too modest. ”
Ji Ping said: "The Mansion of the Polymath has been opened, and we hereby congratulate your lordship." ”
Liu Yu continued: "The mansion is expanded, and the materials are procured and prepared by the official family. ”
Ji Xia said: "The weather is cold, and the expansion project is expected to be completed in the next year. Adults still have to take care of it."
Ji Ping said: "I want to deploy 30 skilled workers in the Inner History Mansion to speed up the progress. ”
Ji He said: "Xiangguo's move is very serious, and the expansion has started, and my general's mansion has also deployed 150 skilled workers from the Inner History Mansion. "There is a militia in the army, and it is relatively easy to prepare manpower, so the general dares to say.
Ji Huang said: "If these 180 skilled workers enter the project, the progress can be greatly improved. ”
Liu Yu said: "I want to raise 30 carriages for the Inner History Mansion for the expansion of the project. ”
Ji Xia said: "With the help of all the adults, we will try our best to complete the expansion project before the winter next year. ”
Liu Yu said: "When I go back, I will prepare the carriage and strive to use it for the project as soon as possible." ”
Ji Xia said: "Your Excellency, follow an example, and I also want to provide three carriages from the Inner History Mansion. After speaking, he looked at Ji Huang Ji Bai on the right, and Ji Huang Ji Bai said: "Great goodness, if other adults also help me to work on the Inner History Mansion, it will be completed as soon as possible." "At that time, there was a shortage of workers, and they were all self-sufficient.
Ji Ping said: "Tomorrow morning, I will propose to the king that I mobilize hundreds of officials to deploy skilled workers from various provinces. ”
The young lady said: "What the adults said, the officials are very grateful, thank you very much." ”
Ji He said: "Your mansion is small, the place is compact, if there is no place to place it if you are courteous and juggling, it will be a disappointment." After speaking, he took a few sips of tea and continued: "I heard that you have a martial arts arena here, why don't we go out and have a look." ”
Ji Ping said: I still want to discuss knowledge with adults, and listening to your words disturbs my interest. After speaking, he also took a few sips of tea.
Liu Yu was interested in the bear skin, touched the head of the bear skin and said, "Look at this bear skin, put on two eyes as if it is alive." It turned out that he put the string of pearls he was wearing on the bearskin eye, and Ye Ye glowed.
Ji Ping said: "This thing can be a national gift, of course, it is different from ordinary animal skins, but I don't know how to process and sell it." ”
The young lady sat upright and said, "The inventory is limited, and I don't know how to process and sell it." "Miss now has a vajra prosthesis, a Prajna body seed, the Prajna Heart Sutra, and the Jackfruit Heart Sutra have also been practiced, knowing that this is caused by the immortal flow method of the true fire gang wind and dark water, although I can't do it myself, but I already have this knowledge.
Ji Huang said: "The best means of sales is the leather industry, which sells leather all year round, but I have never seen such a good quality of sales." ”
Ji He wanted to go to the martial arts arena to see, and said: "Don't bite the words anymore, there is no singing and dancing to sit and talk, it's boring." After saying that, he took a bite of fruit.
Ji Ping said: "I'll wait for the words to chew the words, and the general can go to see it." ”
Ji He said: "As far as you have a lot of ideas, I still want to ask the adults about martial arts, of course I will go with the adults." ”
The young lady said, "The mansion is small, and you can't enjoy it, so I'll take you out for a walk." So the group got up and went to the backyard to perform martial arts.
