Chapter 116

Manager Wu is very reliable in his work.

After Song Jiuyun and the others set off firecrackers, made a dojo, and ordered the banquets delivered to them.

Candied lotus seeds, vegetarian ham, vegetarian fried fish fillets, vegetarian fried spicy diced pork, crispy milk cake... four cold dishes, eight hot dishes, two sweet dishes, there are all these on a large table, and they are all steaming hot when they are delivered. The pastry milk cake is even crispy and crispy. People who don't pay attention have no idea that the Song family also ordered banquet noodles.

The table that entertained County Magistrate Jiang was even more attentive, asking the restaurant's chef to bring the ingredients and cook them fresh here.

One of the vegetarian dishes made Magistrate Jiang full of praise: "I used to eat this dish with a piece of shiitake mushroom, a piece of fried tofu, and some prunes. This time, the mushrooms were replaced with lotus root slices, and the prunes were replaced with Without sauerkraut, even though they are both called vegetarian braised pork, the taste is completely different.”

He also specifically asked Mr. Wang who was accompanying him: "Is this dish a specialty of your place?"

It was also the first time for Mr. Wang to eat it. He smiled and said, "Is it the Song family's private dish? I have never eaten it before."

Magistrate Jiang nodded and took another chopstick.

Hong Xi smiled and said: "When it comes to cooking vegetarian dishes, Bao'en Temple here, which is taught by Longhu Mountain, is also excellent. When the wind is nice and the sun is shining, people from other counties often drive here. Another day when you have free time, I will Let me accompany you to Baoen Temple."

Master Wang also said: "The masters at Baoen Temple are also very good at treating patients and asking questions."

While everyone was talking, a county government official walked in in a hurry.

"The county magistrate, Mr. Wang." The visitor looked anxious and said with clasped fists, "Master Huang, the inspector general, has arrived in person. Mr. Dianshi, please go back with Mr. Wang as soon as possible."

Everyone present was shocked.

Master Wang lost his voice and asked, "What happened?"

According to the third rank of the inspector, the yamen is located in Nanchang Mansion. Mr. Huang has not been to Liang County since he took office.

The visitor took a breath and said: "It is said that Zuo Changshi of Prince Ning's Palace was suspected of smuggling imperial porcelain and was arrested by the governor. But the manager of Prince Ning's Palace who collaborated with him in committing the crime escaped by boat. Master Huang suspected that he would Heading south from Poyang Lake or Changjiang River, we are asked to assist the Inspector to pick up people."

Everyone took a breath and looked at Magistrate Jiang.

Magistrate Jiang frowned, looking a little unconvinced.

The visitor hurriedly said: "The official document has arrived at the Yamen ahead of time."

"It looks like it's true!" County Magistrate Jiang said, but glanced at Yuan Yunzhong and said regretfully, "I'm just serving the bowl!"

He also complained: "This gentleman is the same. If you don't come early, you won't come late. But coming at this time is too trouble-making, isn't it?"

As the head of a county, shouldn't I be thinking about returning to the Yamen as soon as possible at this time? How to receive the Inspector? Why are you still complaining about Mr. Huang interrupting the meal?

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all looked like they didn’t know what to say.

However, Yuan Yunzhong calmly picked up the tea cup and used the bowl lid to brush the tea leaves floating in the tea cup.

Hong Xi, who had been paying attention to Yuan Yunzhong, was thoughtful.

Chief Secretary Wang, on the other hand, had only met Magistrate Jiang a few times before and did not understand Magistrate Jiang's temperament. Seeing this situation, he could only say: "It doesn't matter. Let Miss Song send another table to the Yamen. . No matter how busy you are with official duties, you still need to eat."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Jiang actually nodded seriously, then stood up and said, "This is the only way!"

Chief Wang and others were inexplicably relieved, and they all stood up and hugged him as they walked out.

Mr. Song Shiyi hurriedly summoned Song Jiyun, who was in charge, to come over and see off the guests with Yuan Yunzhong.

The two of them stood side by side by the pergola, one was handsome and dignified, the other was beautiful and graceful. They were like a pair of golden boys and girls who had taken the lead in a beautiful wedding. They were not only eye-catching, but also a perfect match.

County Magistrate Jiang was standing by the pavilion, looking at them with a smile, and suddenly asked the accompanying master to take his name card and give it to Song Jiyun, and told her: "If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me."

There was a sudden explosion in the pergola, and there was a sound of envy.

Song Jiuyun was also very happy.

Nowadays, scholars pay attention to classmates, subjects, and hometowns. Having Magistrate Jiang’s name card is equivalent to Magistrate Jiang’s personal visit. How many things can be done with this!

She thanked him again and again, completely unaware that Yuan Yunzhong next to her was freezing.

Chief Secretary Wang wanted to fly back to the Yamen. When he saw this, he pinched his goatee and told Song Jiuyun kindly: "When you have nothing to do, take your mother to the house to visit."

"Definitely, definitely." Song Jiyun promised repeatedly.

The two of them left in a sedan chair.

The people in the pergola were talking quietly.

"It's the name of the County Lord! If anything happens in the future, can't we just say that the County Lord asked me to go there?"

"To be a county honorary, you must be a Jinshi on the second list. Maybe this post will be useful in Suzhou and Hangzhou!"

"What kind of luck did the Song family have?"

Someone quietly pointed at Yuan Yunzhong.

The voice became softer and softer.

Hong Xi turned the mutton-fat jade ring between his fingers and said goodbye to Song Jiuyun: "Hello, master! I won't disturb you. The batch of porcelain I ordered will be fired in a few days. I'll come to visit Miss Song again."

Song Jiyun smiled and pulled the sullen Yuan Yunzhong to see off the guests.

When the people in the pergola saw him, they stood up and left one after another.

When Song Jiyun and others returned home, it was already late afternoon.

Yuan Yunzhong returned to Yinyu Hall.

Song Jiyun couldn't rest yet.

They also have to discuss the matter of keeping filial piety with Mr. Song Shiyi and others.

Qian wanted to invite Yuan Yunzhong to participate.

Song Jiyun declined for him: "He is also tired, let him have a good rest. We have discussed the father's matter and just tell him. After all, we are not married yet, so we can't bother him with everything."

The two broke up unhappily by the pergola. Yuan Yunzhong stopped talking to her and didn't even look at her.

Mr. Song Shiyi has already talked about the affairs of their family: "You orphans and widowers, since you are thanking guests behind closed doors, the main door and the side door should be sealed. But now the Song family kiln factory still has to rely on the eldest lady to take charge, so the side door is closed." After the seal is sealed, my good wife and two daughters will move to the Dongkua Courtyard. The clan scholars are coming and going, so as not to bump into you."

To the west is the former Song Sanliang residence, now the Song clan school.

Qian thinks this arrangement is good.

Song Jiyun said, "Mom's months are getting heavier and heavier. I want to invite Mrs. Wen and the female doctor to live at home. As for moving, there is no need to rush."

Qian now lives in the main house on the middle road. No matter whether it is the west or east courtyard, she can't be disturbed.

Mainly according to the etiquette, Qian's widow had to move out of the main house.

Mr. Song Eleven did not insist and said, "How about asking your Aunt Eleven to come over and help you?"

A widowed person cannot visit other people's homes at will.

Song Jiyun thought it would be nice to have someone of the same age around his mother occasionally to talk with her.

Sister-in-law Eleven is the wife of Mr. Song Eleven.

She thanked Mr. Song Shiyi.

Song Daliang suddenly visited.

"What is he here for?" Everyone looked at each other.

Today, Song Youliang's Qiqi Sacrifice, Song Daliang and Song Sanliang did not appear from beginning to end.

Song Jiyun thought for a while and asked the boy to invite him in.

He wore a purple-red embroidered green auspicious clouds and flowers straight trousers, his face was red, and he was beaming with joy. When he came in, he bowed to everyone and said with a smile: "I was afraid that you guys would be separated - didn't you say you wanted to split up with me last time? One thing Don’t bother the second master. Since the second master has finished his work, while everyone is here, you can give me a witness and write down the documents for the branching of the sect."
