Old things in Nancheng

Xie Liangfu is a member of the King of Seven Counties, and the King of Seven Counties is the uncle of His Royal Highness Bo Cong. As the only second adopted son of the official family, His Royal Highness Bo Cong is very likely to win the championship, provided that he defeats His Royal Highness Bo Jiu.

This task is more difficult, because His Royal Highness Bo Jiu is more favored by the officials.As the uncle of His Royal Highness Bo Cong, the King of the Seven Counties naturally has to contribute to his nephew, so Xie Liangfu's replacement as the magistrate of Yanguan is the result of the operation of the King of the Seven Counties.

Yanguan County is the first county in the Great Song Dynasty. Its status is detached. The official family hunts south. The courtiers and nobles who followed the official family to the south will naturally have friction with the local famous families. There are conflicts of interests and status. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Xie Liangfu It is an impossible task to manage Yanguan County into the territory of the seven county kings and provide external support for His Royal Highness Bo Cong during his term of office.

The land of Jiangnan has never been a political center. The loyalty of the Jiangnan family to the imperial court is not high, not to mention that the official family is not stable, and the war in the north is tight. It is impossible to say that the Jin soldiers will fight across the river one day. Abandoning the Jiangnan family is a certainty. Under this situation, trying to drag the Jiangnan family into the vortex of succession is simply a dream.

Jiang Shangpei showed great sincerity to Xie Liangfu.Two months earlier, we started to crack down on local ruffians and hooligans, worked hard in disaster relief in winter, and called the squires to discuss and welcome them.In February, the streets in the county were cleared up, county edicts were issued, public order was rectified, and the rivers at the city gates were strictly checked. On the tenth day of February, the yamen let the people in the city hang lanterns at the gates of their homes, and the streets were also closed with red silk. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, idlers are prohibited from walking around on the street, and government officials patrol the street day and night.

On the morning of the [-]th, Jiang Shangpei led the gentry and common people of Yanguan County to warmly welcome Xie County Magistrate to take office at the city gate, and the two sides met very politely.

Jiang Shangpei said that the people of Hexian County are looking forward to the arrival of Xie County Magistrate day and night. Xie County Magistrate is a high-ranking official in the court. Under the leadership of County Magistrate Xie, the official county will definitely improve to a higher level.

The county magistrate Xie accepted the gift humbly, even saying that he didn't dare to do it.County magistrate Xie said that Cheng Jiang has been honest and honest since he was a child, and his family has a long history of education. In the future, this official will work together with Cheng Cheng Jiang to benefit the people of Yanguan.Yanguan is a place of prosperous culture and education, a land of fish and rice, and a place of prosperity. The people of Yanguan County are educated and respectful, and work hard. It is my honor to be able to succeed Yanguan.

The official words are full of flowers, harmonious and friendly, the squires admire, and the people look forward to it. The county magistrate Jiang is naturally comfortable. After a brief inspection of the most prosperous West Street, he accepted Jiang Shangpei's invitation and went with a group of squires. Xianlai Pavilion.

Today is Jiang Shangpei's big day, Xie Liangfu's big day, Yanguan County's big day, and Wang Zimo's big day.After Zhu Bo and Wang Zimo met, Wang Zimo and Lin Zhilan devoted themselves to the banquet.

The decoration in Xianlai Pavilion has been completely new, the servants and maids who serve are uniformly dressed in new clothes, the reception process, the planning of wine and dishes, and all aspects, dare not make the slightest difference.

Wang Zimo, who is serious about things, is terrifying, and Lin Zhilan, who has a wide range of knowledge, makes people wonder and stare sideways at this banquet.

Xianlai Pavilion is originally the South Street of West Street. Looking southeast, you can see the mighty Qiantang River. At noon and midnight, the sound of high tide can often be heard from afar, like rolling thunder. Like ten thousand horses galloping, the momentum is extremely magnificent.

Wang Zimo is wearing a lavender gown today, with his hair combed meticulously. He is usually arty and coquettish. He never wears a belt, but today he wears it neatly. His waist is extremely slender, which looks solemn. His small face There is also a light layer of powder on the top, which looks more like a daughter.

Looking at the sun, which was already in the middle of the sky, Wang Zimo waved his hand, and under the shopkeeper Zhang, everyone stood in line according to the pre-rehearsed alignment, bowed their heads and stretched out from both sides of the gate.In the hall on the first floor of Xianlai Pavilion, there is a troupe of Boss Xian, and there are dozens of flower girls waiting to welcome you on the second floor. Those delicate and arrogant red card flower girls, for some reason today, all came to support Wang Zimo, Not a single person with a head and a face was left behind.

The interior of the Xianlai Pavilion has been newly decorated, and colorful flags are fluttering outside the Xianlai Pavilion. Thirty strings of cannons hang down from the third floor, and there are gongs and drums waiting in line. The Boy Scouts with flowers in their hands are particularly eye-catching.

Jiang Shangpei sent a yamen servant over, saying that County Magistrate Xie would come to Xianlai Pavilion in a quarter of an hour. With a wave, the gongs and drums began to play lively and lively, and the colorful lions danced majesticly.

Accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, as well as the thirty strings of ten thousand cannons, which burst out at the same time to ward off evil spirits and exorcise evil spirits, and everything is going well. The people arranged by Wang Zimo, with smiles on their faces, cheered warmly and politely to Xie Liangfu. The boys holding flowers shouted in a childlike voice: "Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome." While shouting, they waved the flowers in their hands neatly, jumping and dancing, full of vigor.

"Jiang Xiancheng, this... this is..." Xie Liangfu's heart trembled a few times because of Wang Zimo's battle, and he suddenly thought that he was returning to his hometown in Jinyi.

"Lord County Magistrate, the people of Yanguan County have always been hospitable and enthusiastic. Why are they not happy when your lord comes here today?" Jiang Shangpei said with a smile.

"Oh! This really makes me feel ashamed and ashamed of receiving it." Xie Liangfu naturally likes such ostentation, but anyone with a little vanity can't be exempt: "Being an official will benefit one party. Today, the enthusiasm of the people in Yanguan, I have the authority to accept it, I only hope that so many people will send me to this official when I leave office, this is a clear proof that I live up to the Yan officials."

"The adults have lofty aspirations, the subordinates admire, and the subordinates are willing to be the pawns of the adults."

"Brother, it's your words to wait for my brother."

In the presence of a large crowd, the two men held hands, but no tears were seen.But those official words made Wang Zimo, who was standing by with his hands down, almost vomit out his disgusting overnight meal.

She has seen these scenes before. When she was in Xingyuan Mansion, she created the conditions for clinging to the powerful. She also saw many officials in the yamen of various states, but those civil officials didn't take her as a prisoner in the prison camp seriously. , The money is accepted, and nothing is done.

Jiang Shangpei's nobleness has always been admired by Wang Zimo, who would have thought that seeing a live version of bureaucrat Jiang Shangpei today shocked Wang Zimo to the extreme.It turns out that anyone can bend their waists, including themselves, Jiang Shangpei, Yue Fei, and officials!

"Master County Magistrate, this son's name is Wang Zimo, and he is the owner of Xianlai Pavilion. Xianlai Pavilion is the best restaurant in my Yanguan County. Zimo heard that Your Excellency is here, so please welcome him."

This was Jiang Shangpei's intention to praise Wang Zimo, otherwise Wang Zimo, a humble man, would not have the opportunity to show his face in front of the grandfather.

"Zimo has met my grandfather, I wish my grandfather a prosperous career and a prosperous official career."

Xie Liangfu saw that Wang Zimo had red lips, white teeth, a face like a crown of jade, a slender figure, and a respectful demeanor, so he accepted Jiang Shangpei's invitation and said, "Wang Zimo, yes."

After only one glance and a word of appreciation, Xie Liangfu left and went into the cabinet with Jiang Shangpei arm in arm.The boy in green and the maid in pink all saluted gracefully. In the pavilion, the red girl on the second floor played a melodious Jiangnan tune.

The gentry gathered, the family gathered, Xianlai Pavilion held a banquet of [-] tables, and the well-trained servants served the signature dishes.The maid with bright wrists served the nobles serving wine and serving dishes, and the flower girls flew to the nobles like butterflies. Leaving aside the official words at the beginning, the Jiangnan literati's romance was fully displayed. There was the poetic girl who flattered the nobles wholeheartedly. There are witty words, with a touch of spring and color in the elegance, and Boss Feng in the hall is singing a graceful tune, with a mellow singing voice with a unique charm, which makes everyone drunk.

In the most elegant private room on the third floor, two tables of the most powerful people in Yanguan County are sitting here. They have already secretly communicated with each other, and they lower their bodies to cater to Xie Liangfu. The south window is open, overlooking the surging Qiantang The river was in his eyes, and it was at noon when the tide in Qiantang was high. As a northerner, Xie Liangfu was surrounded by thousands of horses galloping and roaring with thunder.

The most beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, Yanguan County is dedicated to socializing. Although Xie Liangfu is an official, how can he enjoy such beautiful scenery, beauty, food, and wine?

It feels so good, the people around are relatives no matter what, even Wang Zimo, whom he despises, looks very pleasing to the eye now.Wang Zimo's eyes are bright, his red lips are slightly raised, his hair is black and shiny, and his figure is slender. All the officials in the court regard good manliness as elegant. Xie Liangfu's heart is so moved by such a beautiful figure, even the flower girl beside him is cold After waiting, Wang Zimo was called to serve him personally.

Fortunately, Jiang Shanggui took Wang Zimo in and out of the brothel and flower boat, and he was no stranger to such hints. He didn't show it on the face, and served him wholeheartedly, but he was disgusted in his heart, thinking that he had shown his face too much this time, and unexpectedly got into such trouble.

Jiang Shangpei is an upright person, but he is always from an aristocratic family, and he is no stranger to this kind of activities. He hurriedly used his eyes to signal everyone present to toast and write poems.Wang Zimo was not stupid, bowed and said that she still needs to be considerate outside, so he withdrew.

The banquet did not leave until the mid-day of the moon. Xie Liangfu was so drunk that he simply did not show his ugliness. He resigned from the flower girl that Jiang Shangpei had arranged for him, and his family carried him back to the back house of the county government that had been tidied up before leaving. He told everyone before that he would invite everyone back after a few days.

After sending Xie Liangfu away, everyone looked at Jiang Shangpei, and Jiang Shangpei said: "All the brothers and sisters have worked hard, let's go back to rest first, these days, let's see how the grandfather behaves, and then we will make a fuss."

The Jiang family in Shou Village was originally a century-old family, and there were many officials in the court. Jiang Shangpei was also the county magistrate. During the previous discussions, everyone recommended the Jiang family as the leader. Since Jiang Shangpei said so, everyone went home. It's not easy for them, Rimi laughs.
