Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Everyone was stunned by his attitude!

But the butler was very happy to let people open the middle door: "The master said, just go in directly when you come! No need to notify."

Of course, there is no need to report. Many people need to ask for posts, but this one doesn't need it. Every time there is something to do, even if the adults are taking a nap, they have to be tossed!

"Go!" Shi Hongda beckoned, and entered the gate calmly, riding a horse and guarding the carriage.

Leaving outsiders flicking their eyes, what's going on?

They looked in through the crack of the door, and only saw a young man getting out of the double-wheeled carriage after the carriage entered the yard. The young man's temperament could be seen as coming from a wealthy family!

No wonder the county magistrate didn't see them, there are guests coming!

It's really not an excuse for the housekeeper to perfunctory them!

Yu Juren got out of the car after entering the gate. The clothes are very nice, but you have to be careful when you move, for fear of scratching something!

One must know that the Song mother and daughter had embroidered this dress for a month!

From the most inconspicuous hem of the clothes to the most conspicuous collar, and the cuffs are all embroidered, and in order to conform to his image of just being a filial piety, the color can't be too bright, of course, when visiting during the New Year, it can't be too plain .

This degree is difficult to grasp. The clothes chosen by the Song mother and daughter are a full set of clothes made of smoky blue brocade bought by Shi Hongda, including the Confucian hat on the head and the small leather boots on the feet.

This kind of color is rare, and most people really can't match this kind of slightly ethereal color, Yu Juren is young and thin, but his clothes match him well, like a young man who doesn't know much about the world.

The small face is as tall and straight as a green bamboo, with a slight smile, clear eyes, and a very clean look.

The embroiders are all embroidered with embroidery thread of a color similar to duck egg blue. The corners of the clothes are made of Ruyi pattern sewn by heavy industry, while the collar is auspicious cloud pattern, and the cuffs are the same as the collar.

The two embroidery patterns are both Suzhou embroidery techniques, and they use silk threads instead of cotton threads. Under the sunlight, the brilliance flashes away, adding a bit of fairy air.

Shi Hongda's is dark blue, although it is also a long robe, but it is neat and neat. The sleeves are not wide sleeves, but narrow sleeves, and a wide belt is tied around the waist, which looks particularly round.

But Batu and his son are all in azure blue, and they are full of national colors. Although there are few embroidery, they are all swastika patterns.

The butler was very enthusiastic about their reception, and he directly extended his hand to invite them: "Come into the living room, the master has been waiting since he woke up in the afternoon."

"Thank you, butler." Yu Juren nodded his thanks slightly, and gave Ambassador Shi Hong a look by the way. Before coming, Liu Wenxi specially gave a lot of purses for Yu Juren to use as a reward. This purse was kept by Shi Hongda. Why don't you take it out?

People are great stewards!

You have to give me a big purse!

The so-called King of Hades is easy to deal with little ghosts, if he doesn't keep people well, if he gives you a little shoe one day, he won't know what's going on!

Originally, this work should be done by a well-rounded person like Liu Wenxi, but he had to stay at home to deal with Fu Dazhuzi who came to treat him and call him, so he had to entrust it to Shi Hongda. It was absolutely impossible for the Ba family and his son. Both father and son are so nervous that they can be used as ropes, which are not suitable for such trivial matters.

But Xiao Juren almost got cramps in the corners of his eyes, and Shi Hongda just didn't move at all!

"Please!" The head butler looked at Yu Juren with a funny expression as he entered the door, and also saw Shi Hong glaring at him.

The two who followed were honest people, and they didn't find anything!

He walked in with his head held high.

He didn't give anything to the big housekeeper. The big housekeeper touched his nose and went in with others. He had to say something to the master, and of course, he had to serve the master and receive guests.

The official mansion is about the same size as Xiaoju's house, except that it has one more entrance than Xiaoju's house. The second entrance is not the main house, but a study room and a flower hall, which are used to entertain guests.

The third entrance is the main house and the wing room, while the second entrance has a small courtyard, which is the guest room.

What's more, there is no vegetable garden. Others have gardens. Because it is winter, the trees are bare.

Some people would say that evergreens such as pines and cypresses would look better, but no!

In ancient times, pines and cypresses were planted in ancestral graves or temples, and they would never be planted at home.

Of course they will not go directly to the garden, there is no magistrate there!

When they just passed by, Xiao Juren just took a look, and then entered the flower hall, this is the place where Master Suan Yi entertains guests.

It is said to be a flower hall, but in fact there are only a few kinds of early spring flowers such as daffodils, winter jasmines, etc., and it is very common to see flowers that bloom during the first month of the year in the Northland. This place is too cold to grow plum blossoms outside.

If we have to talk about flowers, there are only snowflakes left.

The flower hall mainly means that the surroundings are carved, the doors and windows, the tables, chairs and benches are all wood carvings, very delicate.

The people that this flower hall usually receives are the distinguished guests of the county magistrate, and this is the first time Yu Juren sees the county magistrate Fang Yangcheng.

Fang Yangcheng is a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance. He wears a stone-blue long-sleeved gown, a sheepskin vest, and a pair of official boots. He has some official prestige. He may have been an official for so long, even if he is not in the yamen. It also has that vibe.

"I have met the county lord." Yu Yuji bowed his hands in salute.

"Young Juren, you don't have to be polite!" Fang Yangcheng waved his hand with a smile, he is an official, so he can't give a salute to Yujuren who has fame but no official position: "Please take a seat, come and serve tea! "

After sitting down and serving tea, Yuju found out that Shi Hongda was sitting next to him, while Batu and Baduo didn't come in at all, and they didn't know where they went.

It's just that I greeted the county magistrate myself, so why didn't Shi Hongda move?

However, the county magistrate, the master, didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to be troublesome when he was younger than Juren, let alone his own side.

"I'm here today to pay my lord a New Year's greeting, and I'll give you a new treat by the way." Xiao Juren took a sip of tea, the taste was good, sweet and sweet, with endless aftertaste, he is worthy of being an official!

Just different from ordinary people.

"Oh? What novelty, can you bring it yourself?" Yu Juren used honorific words to respect the county magistrate, and Fang Yangcheng also used honorific words, which meant that he respected Yu Juren.

Because he is smaller than a Juren, he has received many compliments from the court. With his outstanding political achievements, he has already decided to be promoted.

"There are two jars in the congratulatory gift, please send someone to take them out." Yu Juren didn't say anything, but let him see for himself.

Fang Yangcheng immediately asked people to bring in the congratulatory gifts that were less than Juren.

According to the convention, things that are given as gifts to the door will not be opened on the spot. They will only be opened to have a look after the person leaves, unless the guest insists on showing the gift, but such cases are rare, and whoever gives the gift will be seen blatantly in broad daylight under?

With the eyes and ears of the current emperor, and the speed of news transmission, which official would dare to accept bribes?

Besides, they are not short of money. Throughout the year, even the county magistrate can have an income of about 5000 taels of silver. In addition, although officials are not allowed to engage in business and compete for profits with the people, they have fixed land every time they go to a place. This land is Officials can plant while they are in office. After leaving this position, the land property will automatically belong to the next person.

There are not many fields, but the grain grown is enough to eat.

If you still accept bribes like this, don't say that you are wronged, the court has spent enough to support you, and it is not enough to collect money, then that is your problem.

From the founding of the emperor to the second emperor, he hated corrupt officials to the bone. No one dared to touch this bad luck. Those who dared to do so are now almost rotten.

The imperial court did a good job in this point, and the supervisory officials were blatant, who would dare to be such a rafter?

But Yu Juren dared to open the gift on the spot, and did not shy away from others. This gift must be very cheap, not enough for the word "bribery", and there must be something to talk about.

The gift was carried up quickly, and Fang Yangcheng saw that it was not enough for the word "accepting bribes".

The contents of the two jars are unknown, two pairs of pheasants and one pair of hares. The pheasants are dead and their eyes have been shot through. The rabbits are alive and placed in a wooden cage.

Two strings of hazel mushrooms and two strings of fungus, which are special products of the mountains, and two boxes. When I opened it, I found that there were famous Beijing eight pieces, and the workmanship was very good, not much worse than the ones bought in Beijing.

Xiao Juren didn't prepare any cloth for him, it was too expensive to send silk and satin, and it was too cheap to send fine linen and burlap!

I can only give nothing away, anyway, it seems that this family is not short of cloth and clothing.

The butler personally moved the jar to the table, opened it, and poured it into the large plate next to it. Several orange-yellow things rolled out of it. It smelled like apricot, with a hint of licorice. The smell of medicine.

"This is?" Candied fruit?Fang Yangcheng picked it up and found that it didn't look like it. The candied fruit was always a little sticky because it was filled with honey, so the one in his hand was not sticky, so it was not candied fruit.

"This one!" Yu Juren told him bluntly, it's called Gancao Xing, and told him what his old village head said by the way, not asking for anything else, just a celebrity effect.

As long as it is said that this is a gift for the county magistrate, and the county magistrate eats it and says he likes it, then you don’t have to worry about others thinking about it. Then next year, oh, it’s already this year, and everyone’s apricots will be useful , will not watch it rot in vain.

"I agree!" Fang Yangcheng immediately agreed upon hearing this.

There are not many fruits in the Northland, and there are no special products. Basically, they are naturally raised like mountain delicacies. Some people once wanted to artificially breed them, but unfortunately the results were minimal, especially the cultivation of ginseng, which is simply nonsense!

For 100 years of ginseng, it takes two generations to pay for it. How to live during the 100 years of waiting?Are you going to drink the northwest wind?

Licorice apricot is different, this thing is not afraid to put it, and it tastes good, and by the way, it can keep the common people from spoiling the fruit, and make some money, even if it is only a tael of silver!

Yu Juren is very happy, as long as there is the support of the county magistrate, everyone's apricots will definitely not be wasted in the future!

After the matter was settled, a cup of tea was finished, Shi Hongda got up straight away, and took Xiao Juren to leave!

Speak concisely, stand coldly, and act neatly!

Before Yu Juren could say anything, he was already stuffed into the car. Shi Hongda calmly led him back to the inn, and Yu Juren realized that he was not yet polite to him, and he didn't say that he wanted to invite him to dinner. Woolen cloth!

"It doesn't matter, he doesn't miss that meal!" Shi Hongda lay lazily on the kang, but he could rest.

"How can you treat someone like this? If I hate you, what should I do if I give you small shoes?" Yu Juren pushed Shi Hongda dissatisfied, with such a cold attitude, he must give a bad review.

"He knows my identity, so he won't mind. In truth, he's not as good as me!" Shi Hongda was dissatisfied, he got up and pulled Yu Juren over, rubbing and playing.

"Aren't you a spy?" Why did you let someone know your identity?

"He has a news channel. I don't know why the news came across, but I know it. Don't look at him smiling, his back is thick!" Shi Hongda curled his lips: "They are all scheming people!"

Yu Juren: "...!"

In the evening, they ate something casually at the inn and went to bed. The next day they went out again, settled the rent, went to the academy, visited the head of the mountain, gave the New Year's gift, and then went to the Zhou family and the Wang family.

These two families are the former classmate of the original owner. Xiao Juren is not familiar with them, but the etiquette is in place. The two classmates were very moved when they saw him, and comforted him. After all, they lost their elder brother, and the Yu family will rely on him in the future. Supported.
