Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

After landing on the shore, Lu Ci told his servants to send the large and small bags and goods home in a while, while he personally took the public inspection and walked to the Shibo Department.

This time, although Lu Ci was still pretending to be an ordinary merchant, he still lined up honestly, but just from the speed at which the line moved forward, he could see the process of this inspection, and the previous situation that always hinted at the horizontal cable. Very different.

Apparently, Lu Ci was used as an introduction, and the Prince Jian Guo personally issued an order to thoroughly investigate the matter of the boatman crossing the passing merchant ships. There was an uproar, and the states also got a lot of news.

Immediately, all the officials of the Shibo Department who knew that their hands were not clean were in danger. At least for a long time, they did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

One is that they are afraid that they will be detained by them under various names, and the merchants who have extorted a lot of property will report and report, which will also attract a thorough investigation by evil stars; The officer sent himself directly to the edge of the knife.

When Lu Ci handed in the public inspection, the city shipping agent who was in charge of the inspection opened it with a straight face. When he saw the name and the place of departure, his expression froze instantly.

He opened his mouth slightly, raised his head stiffly, glanced at Lu Ci, then lowered his head suddenly, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the paper with his gaze.

He was frozen for too long, and he didn't turn a page for a long time. After Lu Ci waited patiently for a while, he felt a little abnormal, so he asked with a smile: "Is there a mistake?"

Facing the smiling face on his clear face, the official shuddered, took a big step back unexpectedly, and said incoherently: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu—"

Although he knew that Lu Ci would return to his hometown soon, he never dreamed that he would stand in front of him alive!

"Yeah." After Lu Ci took it calmly, he said with a smile, "Is there a problem with the public inspection?"

"And, not at all."

Thinking of the great evil god who set off all kinds of turbulent waves standing in front of him, the shipping company in this city was obviously terrified, and how dare they look at this public inspection carefully.

Like a hot potato on the spot, I immediately returned it with both hands tremblingly: "Please, please Lu——"

Lu Ci nodded, took it casually, and stopped him calmly: "Then you continue to work. I'll go first."

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he heard the city shipping agent behind him heaving a sigh of relief.

……

Is he so scary?

Lu Ci couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, so he simply turned around again, pretending to be meaningful: "Don't make any noise."

The other party was like a chicken being strangled by the neck, and his voice fell silent in an instant.

Only then did Lu Ci leave satisfied.

He didn't deliberately scare the other party: if the news of his return to his hometown was immediately known by everyone, wouldn't it be quiet, and he would not even have time to take Di Qing for a stroll?

Now I feel more at ease.

After successfully completing the public inspection, Lu Ci took Di Qing alone, wearing a bamboo hat, and wandered aimlessly in the city of Mizhou where the drizzle was falling.

It stands to reason that it is almost the twelfth lunar month, and it rains in winter again, so the weather is very cold.

But Di Qing and Lu Ci were holding one hand and putting the other in their pockets, they felt extremely happy and felt warm all over.

Lu Ci's hands were also considered warm, but still not as warm as the hottest little raccoon slave.

So Di Qing, who was thinking carefully, cleverly moved to the other side of Lu Ci after the exposed hand holding Lu Ci was cooled by the wind, and held the other hand that was warmed up again. Lu Ci.

Lu Ci's attention was mostly focused on the gradually familiar scenes around him, and he didn't notice Di Qing's delicate thoughts.

He walked unhurriedly, while giving Di Qing a brief introduction to the shops of all sizes around the street.

When he saw Di Qing who was listening attentively, his eyes could not help showing a bit of yearning and envy, Lu Ci's lips curved slightly, and he encouraged him while the iron was hot: "Although Mizhou is not as prosperous as Bianjing, there are also many unique places to visit. .From tomorrow onwards, if you do well in your studies, I will take you out for a walk more often, so as not to be bored in the house all the time."

After saying this, Lu Ci saw, as expected, that little raccoon slave's dark eyes were suddenly lit up with anticipation.

It's just that what Lu Ci didn't know was that the carrot tied in front of Di Qing's face that made Di Qing look so happy was not the matter of 'going out to play' itself, but the words 'bring you more'.

Before they knew it, the two had walked four or five streets.

Along the way, Di Qing was only thinking about the best time to warm his father-in-law's hand with his own hand, and when he didn't pay attention, he asked Lu Ci to buy some new clothes from a few tailor-made shops passing by.

Lu Ci has always been unwilling to carry things by himself. At first, he ordered Zhong Yuan confidently, and later he commanded his servants even more confidently. Now that the things are not heavy, he just stuffed the clothes into the small rucksack that Di Qing was carrying inside.

Lu Ci couldn't help but sigh: This little raccoon slave doesn't know how he grew up. Although he eats a lot, he has grown half a head in half a year... He really envied him.

With this speed, I'm afraid he will catch up with him in less than two years, right?

Lu Ci was thinking about whether he should stop by to buy some goat's milk. When he came here, he inadvertently saw a large red hanging pot hanging high above a door far away.

After three years, although it was a little faded by the sun and rain, Lu Ci, who has seen too many changes along the way, can't help but feel a little kind when he sees familiar things.

Isn't that the same perfume shop that he used to bring Zhu Shuo and Zhong Yuan to frequent?

What satisfied Lu Ci the most was that this perfume store was very interesting. It was obviously the bathhouse he used to go to most often, but it didn't follow suit and change its name like other crazy businesses. Instead, it didn't forget its original intention and used the original name.

Lu Ci put down his vigilance, led Di Qing closer, and said with a smile: "In the past, Brother Zhu and Brother Zhong, I and I used to come here to take a bath. Now that you and I are travel-laden and the weather is very cold, I will bring you here too. Take a shower and go home."

Di Qing naturally had no objection, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He lowered his head and followed Lu Ci to the bathhouse with a blushing face.

However, as the two got closer, Lu Ci finally saw the huge sentence that was written on the couplet-like red paper and pasted on the doorposts on both sides that he couldn't see because of the angle.

Even in broad daylight when most people are still at work, this perfume shop is especially crowded with customers, and its business is much better than other peers.

Before Di Qing noticed Lu Ci's sudden stagnation, he looked up curiously, and subconsciously read out.

Stretching the strokes on the left - "Tianchi Wugou De Wenqu"

The flamboyant and phoenix dancing on the right——"Ordinary people dare to try it"

After reading it, Di Qing came back to his senses, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He stood motionless for a while, then turned his neck stiffly, looked at the expressionless Lu Ci, and his mind began to run rapidly.

... If you pretend you haven't seen it from now on, is there still time?

Just when Di Qing was thinking about how to deal with it, Lu Ci looked back indifferently, and said in a non-negotiable tone: "Let's go, change a house."

Di Qing quickly replied: "Yes."

He didn't even dare to show his breath, and was 'dragged' away obediently by Lu Ci.

Di Qing was 'dragged' into another perfume store with a relatively quiet business, and he skillfully stored the clothes, and bought two pieces from the boy selling soap balls. Lu Ci, who had been silent throughout the whole process, finally asked this The shopkeeper, who spoke a foreign accent, obviously didn't recognize Lu Ci, and only looked at him curiously from time to time because of his handsome looks, said, "I want one for the bather."

"Okay." The shopkeeper quickly calmed down and asked, "Big ones and small ones?"

Lu Ci said without hesitation: "The biggest."

The shopkeeper nodded: "Understood. Please invite the guest officer to go in and wash first, and someone will be sent right away."

Di Qing knew that he had gotten into trouble, so he didn't dare to say anything, even after hearing these enigmatic words, he was still at a loss.

what a big one.The oldest?The biggest?

If it were normal, seeing his confused expression, Lu Ci would have offered to explain for him with a smile.

But at this time Lu Ci clearly saw it, but still looked calm and did not speak.

So Di Qing had no choice but to keep his doubts in his heart.

——Besides, he soon lost his mind and wasted on other insignificant matters.

After a while, Lu Ci, who was used to being served by his servants in the past few years and became more and more dignified, also frankly took off his clothes in front of a few outsiders, only wearing a thin layer of white. Clothes, slowly into the water.

The water temperature was hot, and he had just come in from the wet and cold outside. After slowly immersing his whole body in the water, Lu Ci couldn't help frowning, and it took him a while to get used to it.

At this moment, when he raised his eyes, he saw Di Qing standing by the pool in a daze, wrapped tightly in a big scarf, staring at him in a daze, as if he didn't know what to do. Take a foolish look.

Rao Lu Ci pretended to be angry on purpose, and he was also amused at the moment, and greeted: "What are you still doing in a daze? Get in the water quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Whoa whoa!"

Di Qing woke up just like a dream, but still held on tightly to the big scarf and refused to let it go. He moved slowly step by step into the pool, and then loosened the big scarf covering his body little by little.

Lu Ci couldn't help laughing: "Do you think you are a little lady? The people in this room are all men, why are you so shy?"

With Lu Ci's ridicule, Di Qing's already red cheeks turned even redder.

He lowered his head deeply and did not make any rebuttals. He just shook his heart and threw off the scarf that wrapped his body. Lu Ci felt a blur in front of his eyes. Like a spirit fish, he jumped into the pool decisively and gracefully.

If it weren't for the fact that the landing point was a little bit measured, the water splash that was picked far away from him at the other end of the pool would have thrown him off.

However, after Di Qing entered the water, he refused to come over for a long time, but stayed at the far end, only watching Lu Ci from a distance.

Lu Ci couldn't help but think that the joke just now wasn't good enough, and made the face-saving young man angry, so he said, "I won't say that about you anymore, come here."

Di Qing nodded, then shook his head again.

Lu Ci showed the patient state of coaxing the child, and said again: "Then let me go?"

Di Qing shook his head even more.

Lu Ci raised his eyebrows.

Through the hazy water mist, he observed Di Qing suspiciously for a while, and he always felt that the other party was more embarrassed, at a loss and embarrassed than embarrassed and sullen...

Before Lu Ci could come up with a reason, the scrubber who had been appointed by himself just now and had the strongest hand in this bathhouse had already rushed over.
