The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

dark place

Jia Lian gave Xing'er a wink, and Xing'er pointed at the yamen servant and scolded: "I think you want to be imprisoned! You don't even know who my young master is, and you dare to yell like that." Yes. Let me tell you, even if Zhang Hongde met my second master, he would have to be respectful, not to mention you little fellows. Go, tell Mr. Zhang, and say that Mr. Lin’s nephew has come to Xingshi to question him, and let him hurry up Come out and welcome!"

This officer is called Li Da, and he is used to showing off his strength by relying on people behind him. It was the first time he saw someone who was more arrogant than himself, and wanted to turn his face on the spot, but was stopped by an obviously older officer, Liu Er: " Don't worry, I don't think they are ordinary people, they speak a Beijing accent, maybe they belong to some yamen son. If you want me to say, let's report to the county magistrate first, and ask him to come out and have a look, if it's really that kind of bluff , when the time comes, you will vent your anger."

Li Da saw that Jia Lian brought 200 people, more than the people in his own county government, and he didn't dare to really confront him. When he saw someone passing the steps, he shook his sleeves and said, "Forget it, just give me one." face."

Liu Er said to Jia Lian and the others with a smile all over his face, "Please wait here, and I will go in and report back."

Jia Lian sat on the horse and didn't even give him a look. Xing'er handed over a post: "Okay, we won't make things difficult for you, but my son is not very patient. If your master comes out late, maybe my son will tear it down. Your county government is gone!"

After receiving the post, Liu Er glanced at it, and saw that the post was filled with a satin purse with exquisite embroidery patterns. He wondered what the origin of the other party was, even a post made so many flowers?

He knew that the county magistrate had appointed him to be in the Houya, so he hurriedly ran to the back, and when he reached the gate of the Houya, he was stopped by the doorman: "Oh, you idiot, you don't know what to do. See if you can get in there, and run in?"

Liu Er is also in his early thirties this year, and he was naturally angry when he was insulted by a half-teenage boy.It's just that he knew that the county magistrate has always favored these little servants, so he was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but he still smiled and said: "I'm sorry, brother, I'm impatient. It's really urgent. A few people came outside Dressed up as a wealthy son, with a mighty 200 people, he wants to see our grandfather in front of the county government office. People have said that if the grandfather doesn’t leave quickly, he will tear down our county government office.”

Hearing this, the boy was furious at once: "Where is the bastard, he is so bold, and even demolished our county government, I'm afraid they are tired of working! I think the older you are, the younger you are. You also take the big words of a thief who doesn’t know where, and you take it seriously! The grandfather is eating at the moment, disturbing his interest, can you take the responsibility?”

Liu Er was really in a hurry: "Oh, my little ancestor, it's not that I'm alarmist, the person here is really unusual. Look, this post, let alone our Qingshan, is that the whole Huguang can use such a post There are not many people there."

The boy's eyes were really bright: "Hey, it's a waste of good satin for a post purse. If you have this, don't take it out earlier. That's all right. I'll report it to the master. If it's nothing Useful, watch your errands."

"Yes, yes, thank you, little brother." Liu Erbei smiled.

This time, Liu Er didn't make Liu Er wait for a long time. The magistrate Zhang Hongde came out in a hurry after the boy went in. He was busy buttoning up his buttons as he walked, and there was even a rouge mark on his exposed chest, which was very voluptuous.Liu Er took a look and quickly lowered his head.

Zhang Hongde approached and asked, "Where is the visitor?"

"It's outside the yamen!" Liu Er replied cautiously.

Zhang Hongde reprimanded: "You bastards, wouldn't you invite them to drink tea in the front yard first?"

Now, the other party came aggressively and didn't reveal their identity, so how dare I invite them in?Liu Er was full of grievances, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.Alas, if I knew I shouldn't be greedy for petty profits, I would stop studying after two years and come to work as a laborer.There is not much oil and water on weekdays, not to mention, it also delays the progress of the children and grandchildren.If he had made up his mind to study hard at the beginning, he might not know who the county master is now!

However, Liu Er only dared to repeat these words in his heart, and did not dare to show them on his face.

Zhang Hongde ran out in a hurry, and saw Jia Lian sitting on the tall horse at a glance, he thought that he really deserved to be a son of a prince, seeing that the horse was so tame, he stood there motionless.Unlike my little pony, who gets angry at every turn.

Seeing the official uniform on his body, Jia Lian squinted and asked, "Are you Zhang Hongde?"

Zhang Hongde said with a flattering smile: "It's the lower official. I don't know that Second Master Jia came from afar. If he fails to welcome him from afar, he should be punished."

Jia Lian snorted coldly: "You really should be punished. It's just a few thieves. It's been a long time since the chief envoy's paperwork has been issued, and I haven't seen you catch anyone. The young master couldn't swallow this breath. Today, I personally brought People are coming."

Zhang Hongde felt a "thump" in his heart: They must not be allowed to go to Qingfeng Mountain, at least not now.Quick calculations in his mind

After a while, he said with a smile on his face: "It's not that the officials are incompetent, but those thieves are too cunning. It must have been very hard for the brothers to travel long distances. Why don't you go to the county government office to take a rest and wait for dinner After resting, how about we go to suppress the bandits?"

"No one will tip off the thief, right?" Jia Lian raised her eyebrows and asked.

Zhang Hongde hurriedly replied: "Absolutely not. If anyone dares to do such a thing of eating inside and outside, see if I don't take his skin off."

Jia Lian sneered in his heart: You must be the one who eats inside and outside!

He said with a cold face: "What time is it, are you still in the mood to eat? If you don't catch the thief for a day, I will have nowhere to vent my anger. I will go to suppress the bandits first. If you don't catch the thief, who will be in the mood to eat!" "

Lin Ming who was standing next to him hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Forget it, Second Brother Lian, I think what Master Zhang said is right, let's go after eating and resting. We came here on horseback, brothers They are all walking, and they must be tired and hungry after coming all this way, we can’t let everyone work on an empty stomach.”

Jia Lian pretended to ask for a moment, and then agreed: "Okay, that's it first." Then, he dismounted first.

Zhang Hongde hastily ordered the guards: "Hurry up and inform the back kitchen to prepare food for these brothers, and then go to Juyuan Building to order a table waiting for the noodles to be delivered. I want to treat Jia Erye." Then he gave himself His confidant winked.His confidant knew it, and when everyone else was walking into the county office, he retreated, went in through the side door, led a horse out, and galloped out of the city.

And all of this has not escaped the eyes hidden in the dark.
