"Bang bang, bang bang." Just as Chen Qin left, someone knocked on the door again.
Xu Yue frowned, not expecting another interruption.
Which one it was, Xu Yue hesitated.
After all, he had just reached an agreement with Chen Qin, which was mutually beneficial.
These people not only come to give gifts, but also have conditions.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yue finally opened the door.
It turned out that the miscellaneous room Yang Zhen brought more than a dozen officials, and they all bowed to him.
Xu Yue's frown deepened. These people all came empty-handed. What does this mean?
Haven't you seen it? A magistrate registrar has brought a cart full of gifts, how dare you come empty-handed?
Xu Yue's face suddenly turned cold and he was about to close the door.
Seeing that the other person's expression was wrong, Yang Zhen, who was observing his expression, had already taken out something from his sleeve.
What kind of thing is this? It's not a worthless thing to deceive the county, right?
Xu Yue stared at this thing for a few times, and then looked at the officials with doubtful eyes.
Yang Zhen opened the wrapping cloth and said with a flattering smile: "Xuzhi County, I heard that the official's zodiac sign is rat, and he will be born soon. Hehe, the little people pooled their money together to build a golden rat for the official. Please ask Xu Don’t dislike it, magistrate.”
A golden object suddenly appeared in front of Xu Yue. Xu Yue's eyes widened and his saliva almost flowed out.
"No, no, how can this pass?" This was in broad daylight, Xu Yue hurriedly pushed it away with both hands.
Knowing that this was really eye-catching, Yang Zhen immediately wrapped it in cloth and forced it into Xu Yue's heart with both hands.
Xu Yue declined, but finally reluctantly accepted.
Seeing Xu Yue accepting the golden rat, Yang Zhen and other officials exchanged pleasantries and left after a while.
What made Yang Zhen happy was that besides asking for attention, these officials made no other requests.
After Yang Zhen left, Xu Yue held the money rat with a smile on his face and his heart was full of joy.
Lingquan County is indeed the right place to come. This place is so rich, so rich. Otherwise, how could these pawnbrokers give themselves golden rats?
Bang bang, someone knocked on the door again.
Is there someone else coming to give a golden rat or a golden cat?
This time Xu Yue opened the door without any hesitation.
He opened the door and saw that it was Cheng Liang and Li Zhihao.
I was talking about Cao Cao just now, but I didn't expect Cao Cao to arrive.
I wonder what conditions they came with?
After all, these two people have different identities and are not compared to the group of officials just now.
They are all officials, and they are essentially different from officials.
Although his rank was lower than that of Xu Yue, he was still an official in the imperial court.
Cheng Liang is the county magistrate, and Li Zhihao is the chief registrar of Taoyuan Town.
The two of them, one pushing the cart and the other pulling the cart, came to Xu Yue's door with a cart full of gifts.
Xu Yue couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw another cart full of gifts.
It seems that this official with a court background is different, and everyone in Lingquan County must fawn over him.
Thinking of this, his face was filled with a smile and he politely greeted the two of them into the house.
Seeing Xu Yue opening the door, the two of them raised their hands and saluted together: "Welcome Xu Zhixian to Lingquan County. I don't have much, so I brought some local specialties."
After saying that, one of them unloaded the goods and the other moved to Xu Yue's house.
Xu Yue didn't understand what souvenirs were for a while, but he saw that there were quite a lot of them, a whole cart full.
He wanted to ask, but it was difficult to say it out loud. It would be too embarrassing.
Cheng Liang and Li Zhihao chatted for a while and then left.
After Cheng Liang and Li Zhihao left, Xu Yue couldn't wait to open it.
When he opened it, he was stunned.
He has now received four full bags of demon taro powder, enough to feed his family for four years.
The quantity is indeed large, but compared with sweaters, clam oil, glass cups, etc., the value is far behind, let alone compared with golden rats.
I thought they were bringing a golden cat, but I didn't expect that they were actually bringing real local specialties.
Thinking of this, Xu Yue blushed with anger and kicked these local products away with his kick.
"Official, official. Show mercy." Xie Lingmo came over at this time, moving his steps and shouting loudly, "These good gifts can be given away."
"Giving it away, such a rustic thing, is simply making the owner laugh out loud." Xu Yue couldn't help laughing and rubbed his belly.
Xie Lingmo suddenly saluted and asked seriously: "Official, are you the magistrate of Lingquan County?"
"Of course, the magistrate of Lingquan County is your official." Xu Yue was very happy when he thought that he was the master of Lingquan County.
Seeing Xu Yue's self-satisfied look, Xie Lingmo was a little angry. He saluted himself but didn't return the salute.
She suppressed the anger in her heart, looked at these local products, looked at Xu Yue and asked in a deep voice: "Since you are an official and an adult of Lingquan County, should you cherish Lingquan County?"
"But what does it have to do with the demon taro powder?" Xu Yue was still happy for a moment and had not heard what Xie Lingmo said.
Xie Lingmo wished he could hit Xu Yue with a wooden stick to wake him up.
She looked at Xu Yue, wondering why she, an official, was so clueless: "Do you know, official, that demon taro powder represents Lingquan County and is the face of Lingquan County. It is very famous in the entire Chengdu Prefecture, and it is used by several A famous dish?”
"Oh, I understand, official, but it represents the past, not the future." Xu Yue heard this and understood the content of the lady's words.
Xie Lingmo didn't expect Xu Yue to speak like this. She said coldly: "Guanren, it's wrong for you to speak like this. Unless Guanren can come up with something more delicious than monster taro in Chengdu, otherwise Guanren is wasting his money." The reputation of Lingquan County. As an official of Lingquan County, if you ruin the reputation of Lingquan County like this, what do you want the people of Lingquan County to think, what do you want the Chengdu Prefecture to think, and what do you want the Chengdu Prefecture officials to think?"
Xie Lingmo said this in one breath, staring at Xu Yue.
"Madam, you are right, Yue is being rude." Xu Yue saluted, but he couldn't find the words to refute, so he had to do this.
Xie Lingmo glanced at him and knew that he was not convinced: "At least now, demon taro has become famous in Chengdu Prefecture and has become a well-known famous dish in Chengdu Prefecture and the face of Lingquan County. Chengdu Prefecture happens to be Chengdu Prefecture Road. , where the Zhizhi Envoy Yamen is located. Every move of the official is not only seen by the Chengdu Prefecture, but also the roads of Chengdu Prefecture and the Zhizhi Envoy. What the official has to do now is to work hard to maintain this A hard-earned sign instead of screwing up the sign.”
After talking about it later, Xie Lingmo's tone became more and more solemn, and his words seemed to be serious and thoughtful.
"Thank you madam for reminding me, I will pay attention to it after I jump." Xu Yue was impulsive just now and did not expect such a consequence.
Xie Lingmo looked at Xu Yue without blinking, nodded and said: "The officials can come up with a new variety and strive to surpass the monster taro. Only then will the officials be qualified to say how good the monster taro is."
Xu Yue thought for a while, I am a scholar, I am good at talking, and I am even better at criticizing others.
As long as you stand on the highest point of asking for life for the people, you can point out the country, inspire words, and criticize others.
But if you want me to make a famous dish more famous than demon taro, it must be harder than reaching the sky.
I don’t know what Zhao Ping is thinking. Is he really a disciple of the gods?
Zhao Ping, you can just write poems and articles, why bother making utensils?
If you have to make utensils as a last resort, don't cook delicious dishes.
But you not only made Laoshizi's famous dishes, but also made music like "Between Landscapes and Rivers" and "Butterfly Lovers".
By doing this, you have finished all the work in the world. How can you let people in the world live?
If you do this, you will be condemned by everyone in the world, and you will be cursed by everyone in the world.
Xu Yue kept thinking about this and his eyes kept moving.
Xie Lingmo knew that Xu Yue was not completely convinced yet, so he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Maybe he spoke too harshly, officials still have to save face.
Thinking of this, she said softly: "Official, as long as you make great achievements in Lingquan County, the Nu family will always support you."
"Thank you, madam." Xu Yue felt better when he heard that Xie Lingmo did not criticize him again.
Xie Lingmo smiled softly, raised her eyebrows at him, and gave him a flirtatious look.
In fact, Xu Yue's feelings for Xie Lingmo are neither too good nor too bad, they can only be described as average.
Xie Lingmo is actually two years older than Xu Yue, not to mention not as good looking as Xu Yue.
The relationship between the two is actually a marriage between officials, each of them just gets what they need.
Xie Lingmo actually loved Xu Yue deeply from the bottom of his heart. Not only was he a talented person, although he was not completely talented and beautiful, he was still a Jinshi after all.
Maybe others don't know, but she knows it herself.
Deep down, she had some inferiority complex. Not only was she getting older, but her appearance didn't quite match her.
Xie Lingmo felt that although her appearance was a little worse, she was talented. After all, she was born in a family of officials.
Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she had more or less political opinions.
If looks are lacking, of course, talent must be used to make up for it.
Therefore, Xie Lingmo privately advised Xu Yue many times.
But after all, Xu Yue was a Jinshi and an official. He must have felt uncomfortable when his wife often advised him like this.
Xie Lingmo knew that Xu Yue was very face-conscious, and after persuading him, he often comforted him softly, allowing Xu Yue to step down.
Xie Lingmo knew her own weaknesses, and Xu Yue's relationship with her could only be considered reluctant.
What to do, children are the best bond between husband and wife, so she tried her best to have children.
Fortunately, she not only gave birth to a particularly handsome daughter, but also two strong sons, who were deeply loved by the Xie family.
Later, three children came into the world, which somewhat changed the relationship between the two parties.
What Xie Lingmo didn't know was that the flirtatious look she just made almost made Xu Yue sick and vomited.
If she were a charming beauty, Xu Yue would definitely be happy with her.
However, Xie Lingmo had a disheveled face, which made Xu Yue feel very uncomfortable.
Xu Yue originally respected Xie Lingmo for being dignified and generous, but he didn't expect that Xie Lingmo would also learn Yan Shimei's behavior.
Xu Yue didn't like Xie Lingmo very much, so he secretly carried Xie Lingmo to the Fengyue place.
Since Xie Lingmo was not very handsome, and Xu Yue was a handsome man, he thought it was natural for him to be in the romantic place.
To others, the romantic place is like a house flower, not as fragrant as a wild flower, but to Xu Yue, it is a mental and physical compensation.
Seeing those young brothel ladies with both talent and beauty, Xu Yue hugged the brothel red card in his arms and felt that he was mentally balanced.
In the past, Xu Yue always acted for fun, but until one time, he met a woman who made him attracted.
Chunxiang played "Butterfly Lovers" so well that Xu Yue made sure to order it every time.
While Xu Yue was watching Chunxiang's performance, his eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows looked at Chunxiang's peach-like appearance.
Xu Yue didn't like to talk and always looked at Chunxiang with starry eyes.
Although Chunxiang was playing "Butterfly Lovers", she felt like someone was watching her.
After Chunxiang finished playing, she realized that a man similar to Song Yu was looking at her.
She couldn't help stroking her hair and giving this handsome man a wink.
Seeing the charming eyes of this talented and beautiful Chunxiang, Xu Yue suddenly felt that his bones were sore and soft.
He felt that there was a place as hard as iron, and he wanted to have a vigorous battle with the opponent.
The classmate saw that the two of them were in love with each other, and they fulfilled his wish together.
From then on, Xu Yue never had sex with any other woman, only Chunxiang.
When his classmates saw that Xu Yue was so fond of the brothel girl Chunxiang, they were amused and asked him, "Why doesn't Xingyue take a concubine?"
"Concubine, I have no money, I am poor, I am really poor." Xu Yue hurriedly refused while hugging Mei Jiao Niang.
A wealthy classmate whose father was a wealthy businessman looked at him, shook his head and smiled and said, "Xingyue, I am willing to pay this amount of money to let you take a concubine, and it will not be in vain for you to be a young man."
Chunxiang sat on Xu Yue's lap and put her arms around Xu Yue's neck.
At this time, while she was giving Xu Yue some wine with her mouth, she was looking at him affectionately with her watery eyes.
"Xingyue is a scholar and a Jinshi. If you take a concubine, it will be a good story in your life." Other classmates also hugged Mei Jiaoniang and followed suit.
Chunxiang stopped other actions and looked at him with only one pair of eyes. She knew the meaning inside.
Xu Yue looked at a dozen pairs of eyes looking at him, feeling hesitant for a moment.
Classmate Qian has already left. This is not a problem. The key is...
