Famous? Liang Chuan was stunned. The old guy Li Chengfu didn't give him this thing. He thought that he could just brush his face when he arrived in Xinghua. He didn't expect that it would be so formal and he would print some bullshit name.
"I'm sorry, we don't have names." Liang Chuan said truthfully.
"If you don't have it, get out of here and stay where you can!" The two government officials looked fierce. They were usually government officials in the Zhuang class and seldom interacted with outsiders. Liang Chuan had never seen these people before. If the arrest team might still know each other, many of the government officials must have been to Fengshan and had some contact with them.
"You..." Xin Wubing was impatient. He was most unaccustomed to this kind of dog-eat-dog behavior. As soon as he raised his sword, he wanted to deal with these two bastards wearing tiger skins on the spot. Liang Chuan was immediately frightened. Beating Xue Qing's domestic slave was just a beating. At most, he would be in trouble later. Beating someone from the government was different. It was simply asking for death. Once these two yamen servants called He received help and was moved into a cell. To be able to come out alive was like smoke rising from his ancestral grave.
Liang Chuan was so frightened that he stopped Xin Wubing: "Brother Xin, don't be impulsive. I'll see what's going on."
These dignitaries on the terrace were all flattering each other, and they were complimenting each other with powerful smiles on their faces. These people who are engaged in business are quite enthusiastic, such as Zheng Zuliang, Master Zheng and Zheng Daguanren. They are not bound by official positions and just want to do things conveniently. On the contrary, there are some fringe officials in the county who have no real power, such as the county captain Bo Jiaoyu. There is no one to talk to and compliment them, and there is no enthusiasm to flatter others. They have huge power in their hands, and others can see it. Not on.
The magistrate and the county magistrate were the center of attention, and only had others to flatter them. They sat firmly in the most conspicuous position on the terrace, chatting and laughing with everyone, but their buttocks never moved. There is another type of people who are more popular, those who do not hold high positions in the county, but the common people do not dare to offend them, but in practice they can turn things upside down and kill people, such as several government officials, prison bosses and prison bosses, and the county magistrate. Mr. Master's staff.
These people are also active members. They rely on their worldly connections and their dexterity to be socially active.
Liang Chuan looked at Li Chengfu and saw that the bearded man Li Chengfu had a proud look on his face, and he always looked cheerful when he met everyone. The bearded man with the surname Wu who arrested him last time looked unhappy. People sitting on the chairs in twos and threes went over to greet him. They were lukewarm and had completely different expressions from Zheng Fucheng.
Many wealthy businessmen in Xinghua are followed by their sons or daughters. They bring them to this occasion to see if there is any chance of a good relationship or two. After all, they are not too bad families. If you still can't choose the one you like, then basically There is no place to choose.
Zheng Zuliang wandered around with stones and introduced his son to everyone he met. However, his son was also well-known in Xinghua as a fun-loving and trouble-making person, and the people in Xinghua had long since disappeared.
None of the people on the terrace saw Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan stretched his neck, and it was not easy to shout loudly. It was best to go in quietly by himself, find a seat quietly and sit up. No one paid attention to his small role. Come quietly, go quietly.
"Brother, could you please go say hello to Li Dutou..." After speaking, Liang Chuan put a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and handed a small bunch of copper coins to the gatekeeper quietly.
The yamen officer originally wanted to refuse righteously, but he weighed it and realized, wow, it's a lot of money. It's not bad to make some money by standing all night, and it's not bad to get some wine money. The yamen officer said without expression on his face: "Don't run around, stay here, I'll go and inform Dutou."
Li Chengfu was chatting with a group of people, and while he was talking enthusiastically, the yamen servant leaned into his ear and whispered a few words to him. Zheng Fucheng looked towards the entrance, slapped his thigh, and hurried towards here with an annoyed look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Liang Chuan. Look at my memory. I forgot to ask someone to send you the badge. Come up quickly. You two didn't make things difficult for me just now." Zheng Fucheng's words were quite nice.
As soon as they saw someone supporting them, the two girls glared viciously at the two government officials guarding the door. The two government officials had finished thinking. They had just made a mistake. They were really the guests invited by Zheng Dutou. Li Dutou just said it again. They had finished thinking. They would definitely be accused.
Liang Chuan smiled and said: "No way, you noble Li Futou is busy. You invited us to see the lanterns and you didn't even give us a name. If you want this elder brother from the government office to help inform, we have to go back to Fengshan."
Li Chengfu looked apologetic: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all because I have a bad memory and am used to being casual. I come here as soon as I come. I want to ask for any complicated tricks. Please bear with me. Old Zheng, I'm a rude person." Zheng Fucheng glanced at Liang Chuan, who actually brought two servants and a retainer with a sword. He was stunned and said, "Liang Chuan has never seen you in such a grand display before. Why, do you want to be in the limelight today?"
Liang Chuan had no choice but to walk to Li Chengfu and whisper to him the whole story. After hearing this, he couldn't help but shake his head. This boy was indeed a nuisance. He would cause endless trouble wherever he went. He would trouble Baozheng's grandson in Fengshan and the richest man's son in Xinghua. But if I hadn't invited him here today, I guess there wouldn't have been so much going on. After all, I had a responsibility, so what the hell, just come up and watch the fun.
Zheng Fucheng led several people to the terrace and took the aisle at the back. The lanterns set up on the terrace are even more colorful, with colorful characters, flowers and birds painted on them, which is more pleasing to the eye than the ordinary lanterns on the street. There is a red cloth under the terrace, and there are tables and Taishi chairs. In front of it is a performance stage. The height of the stage is one point higher than the viewing platform, so that it is comfortable to watch.
Liang Chuan sat at the back of the auditorium, in a relatively remote position. The people in front were all chatting with each other. As for him, the back was deserted, and no one paid attention to the back. Everyone knew that the people further back The lower the status, the more valuable the person in front is.
After Li Chengfu brought Liang Chuan here, he said, "You just sit here and take a look today. I'll go entertain the others and come back later to accompany you."
Liang Chuan knew that these were polite words. In this situation, it would be considered polite for Zheng Fucheng to greet him. There was only one chair, and he wanted to give it to Xin Wubing, but Xin Wubing refused, so he sat down. There were some candied fruits for tea and snacks on the table, and Liang Chuan was not polite and picked them up to eat.
Don't talk about the scarcity of materials in this era, and you can have fun even if you have power and money. Let's just say that the tea snacks and preserves on this table are all very exquisite, and the taste in your mouth is awesome. Pipa from Shufeng, dried plums from Yongtai, olives soaked in ginger honey, and fried melon seeds from Fuzhou, the taste is simply not on the same level as those from later generations.
Liang Chuan sat on his seat and ate the food on his own table. The maid who served him would take the initiative to refill the food after the guests had finished their tea and fruit. As a result, Liang Chuan became a breath of fresh air at the lantern festival. No one else would touch the tea preserves on the table. At most, they would just say they were tired and take a few sips of tea to quench their thirst. Who would put all their energy into this golden opportunity for communication? To those little snacks on the table?
Liang Chuan was different. He was just here to watch the excitement, not to flatter others. Besides, he didn't know them, so he wanted to film them wherever he wanted. So he crossed his legs, sipping tea and eating refreshments. The fruit stones, peels and melon seeds on the table suddenly piled up like a hill.
"Sister, please help me get some more tea here!" Liang Chuan said to the beautiful maid standing next to him.
It was also the first time that the maid saw Liang Chuan coming to the lantern festival. They were all amused by Liang Chuan's careless and casual behavior. Her eyes looked like crescent moons when she smiled, and she covered her mouth and did not dare to laugh out loud. She brought the tea and replaced it with one that was completely eaten by Liang Chuan on the table, and kept refilling the tea for Liang Chuan.
"The braised mutton in Jinzun Restaurant is a bit hot, and my mouth is dry. Please help me refill the tea, sister." Liang Chuantian kept eating shamelessly. Zheng Yuzhi stood behind and rolled his eyes in disdain. He had never seen such a shame. When you come to the lantern festival, it’s like you haven’t eaten anything. It’s so satisfying to eat.
The little maid smiled and smiled, she must not be very old, and her voice was even lighter: "Master, don't call me sister, this is what a slave should do." After refilling the tea, she stepped aside and looked at the slight smile on her face. Smile, the people who come here are either dignitaries or famous talents. They are all big shots, but few are as interesting as this person, so greedy and so polite to her.
"Stop eating, everyone is watching, look at the way you eat." Zheng Yuzhi disliked Liang Chuan's style very much, but Xin Wubing was cheerful. This Liang Chuan was really a wonderful person.
"It's no one else's business if I eat mine. You two, don't just stand there stupidly. Be smart and peel off the skin of this loquat."
The two girls stared at each other. There seemed to be many knives hidden in their fierce eyes, and they wanted to cut Liang Chuan alive.
"Huh?" Liang Chuan looked at the unconvinced looks of the two girls, cleared his throat, raised his voice, opened his mouth and shouted: "Zheng..."
Only one word came out of their mouths, and the two girls hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't scream, don't scream, let's peel it, let's peel it..." After saying this, the two girls hurriedly picked up the loquats on the table and carefully peeled them.
Xin Wubing was stunned to see that Liang Chuan had such great magic power just by opening his mouth, making the two girls submissive.
The two girls' hands were so close that they couldn't even peel off the skin of the loquat. Liang Chuan felt tired, so he picked up a loquat and raised it in front of the two girls and said: "You two, watch carefully. You have to use your fingernails to peel the loquat first." Cover it and scrape it for a few times, and the squeezed loquat skin will be separated from the pulp. Once you tear it off, the whole peel will come off. Look, do you see it? I say you two. If your parents died, I guess you They will all starve to death.”
