No one was around, the night was quiet, Hu Zongxian tidied up his instrument and walked faithfully up the steps of the Qinzai Yamen.
“Stop! Who are you? What is the purpose of coming here late at night?” The gate guards in front of the Qinzai Yamen stepped forward and asked.
These guards are all Zhao Wenhua’s family slaves from the capital, usually in the capital to rely on the power of the Yan Party are also accustomed to the mighty, my master came to Jiangnan as a minister, that is on behalf of the emperor, that must be the first person in Jiangnan ah, this road to flatter my master’s nobleman that is countless ah, the prime minister in front of the door of the seventh grade officer is not just a word, if you want to ask to see your master, you must be our brothers to please the line, otherwise we do not give to the fellow countrymen. We will not give to the compatriots, we do not inform, you do not want to go in.
“I am the Zhejiang inspector Hu Zongxian, have something to see the imperial inspector Zhao Taoshi.” Hu Zongxian went forward and arched his hand.
“So it’s Lord Hu, it’s not a good time for Lord Hu to come, my master is asleep, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
The door son waved his hand, his mouth shouted Lord Hu, but there was no intention of moving to inform inside at all.
Hu Zongxian’s look of disquiet flickered away, looking up with a smile, without a trace, he stuffed a fifty taels silver fruit into the hand of the leading door son, saying with a smile, “Please be accommodating, I have something important to report to Lord Zhao, please inform me.”
The leading doorkeeper looked down and saw the amount on the silver ticket, and a smile immediately bloomed on his face like a chrysanthemum.
Fifty taels of silver cheque, this Imperial Inspector Hu is really generous, worth half a year of his monthly salary.
To be divided into ten taels for his men to drink, he can still fall forty taels it, haha, the family’s new concubines see this silver, will not be able to make every effort to serve me ah, Hu Royal Secretary is really my God of Wealth ah.
“Since there is an important matter, that small can not dare to delay, my master often educate us that the state affairs are more important than Mount Taishan, do not dare to delay, small this is to go in to report, Hu Royal Secretary wait a moment. What are you guys waiting for, don’t you hurry to invite Lord Hu to the concierge and serve him with tea and water.”
With the silver good work, the leader of the door with a warm face will be Hu Zongxian invited to the gate room to serve tea and water waiting, he personally jogged all the way to the yamen inside to report Hu Zongxian came to visit the news.
Soon, Hu Zongxian in the gatehouse heard a footsteps in the courtyard, thought it should be the door to report back.
Lord Zhao receiving himself is not a problem, the problem is how to convince Lord Zhao to trust him.
Hu Zong Xian while getting up to meet the door son, while in the stomach will persuade Zhao Wen Hua’s belly again over the draft, in the future to come to visit Zhao Wen Hua more often, can not offend these door son.
“Haha, heard that Meilin visit, this official is overjoyed, a moment out of bed in a hurry, not neatly dressed, Meilin do not blame ……”
A laughing voice from the door, and then Zhao Wenhua figure in pajamas appeared in the mouth of the group, the shoes on the feet are not worn, like slippers shuffling, obviously, Zhao Wenhua is a good person. Slippers like shuffling, obviously already on the pain, after hearing the door son reported the news of Hu Zongxian’s visit, even the clothes are too late to wear to come out to welcome.
“The next official pays a visit to Zhao Taoyuan, Zongxian what virtue and what ability, disturbed the adult rest, but also to thank the adults personally pajamas inverted shoes go out to meet ……”
Hu Zongxian saw Zhao Wenhua even personally came out to meet, or pajamas inverted shoes to welcome, can not help but a big surprise, moved, bowed the His body made a long bow, and his tone was a little bit grateful.
See Hu Zongxian unexpected and touched look, Zhao Wenhua can not help but smile, not in vain after he just received the news deliberately undressed to change into pajamas out to meet, this is not to receive the effect of it. Ancient Cao Cao’s backward walk to welcome Xu You, today I have Zhao Wenhua pajamas backward walk Hu Zongxian, in the future is not a piece of singing a thousand years of good news.
“This official is new to the country, the things of Jiangnan is not familiar with, the thirst for talent, Mei Lin came to visit, this official is eager to do it.”
Zhao Wenhua enthusiastically went forward to pull up Hu Zongxian’s hand, gently patted and caressed twice to show closeness.
“Adults seek the virtuous as if thirsty, the next official, although unscrupulous, but also willing to offer his life in return for adults pajamas inverted shoes to welcome the grace. The next official to Yingtian also have a few months of time, for Jiangnan customs, military and political affairs is also quite familiar with, what want to understand, adults despite asking, the next official know everything, say everything.”
Hu Zongxian gratefully bent over and said, with the air of a woman who pleases herself and a man who dies for a friend.
As for whether Hu Zongxian was truly grateful or falsely grateful, no one knew except Hu Zongxian himself.
“Come, come, Meilin, I brought a jar of pineapple tea from the capital, let’s go to the study and talk over a drink.”
Zhao Wenhua reached out and pulled Hu Zongxian’s arm towards the courthouse, saying enthusiastically as he walked.
Zhao Wenhua raised his foot over the threshold, pajamas under a cut trousers exposed, followed by Zhao Wenhua behind Hu Zongxian naturally saw, but Hu Zongxian this as if it were blind, not at all surprised, the face of the excitement did not change in the slightest, because in the Zhao Wenhua door, he bowed to pay tribute to the time he had already seen it once.
This kind of silk trousers is the official clothes and the regular clothes worn inside, if the night to go to bed, it must be the first to take off the official clothes regular clothes, and then take off the trousers, and then change into pajamas, no one will be wearing trousers and then set of pajamas, so that sleep is also too difficult, does not conform to the common sense.
“Buddha jumped over the wall pro rehash, a thousand gold is hard to get one or two tea, I didn’t expect it to be the world famous pine roses tea, then the next official today is blessed with a mouthful. To be honest, the next official when the name of the pine tea to buy tea at the generous monk, but unfortunately the generous monk made a limited number of tea, has long been sold out, there is no remaining tea to sell me, so has not been able to taste the taste of the pine tea, so that I deeply regret, I did not think that thanks to the adult’s blessing, today’s dream come true.”
Hu Zongxian said with a face of surprise and gratitude, looking as if he had long admired the name of Songluo tea and got his wish today.
In this regard, Zhao Wenhua was quite pleased, this is the right thing to do, just now Zhu Pingan’s reaction to the pineapple tea was too bland, so he did not have much of a sense of achievement. Hu Zongxian’s reaction was much more on point, allowing Zhao Wenhua to find a full sense of accomplishment here.
“Hahaha, Meilin taste it later, if you like it, when you leave, I’ll send you half a jar of pineapple tea.”
Zhao Wenhua laughed boldly and said.
“This pineapple tea is hard to find thousands of gold, adults can get a can must not be easy, gentleman does not take away people’s love, the next official will not be ashamed to receive.”
Hu Zongxian gratefully excused himself.
“Hey, words can not say so, the so-called good bow gift shooter, BMW send heroes, Song Luo tea such as meet the master, it is not in vain it came to this world one time. Just now I left ZiHou to taste the tea, also want to find a bright master for half a pot of pineapple tea, but unfortunately, although ZiHou is full of talent, but is not good at tasting tea, and can’t appreciate the deep flavour of the pineapple tea hidden inside.”
Zhao Wenhua laughed and enthusiastically pulled Hu Zongxian into the study.
This means that Zhao Wenhua did not manage to pull in Zhu Pingan, Hu Zongxian’s eyes lit up when he heard this, then he himself is the first person.
Good and good!
