Chapter 609: Capable Officials
Chapter 610 Capable Ministers and Officials
Eyes like needles.
Countless silver needles came from the entire garden, piercing his back and three-thirds of his flesh.
Tickle.
Very fucking prickly.
For the first time, I discovered that the "Eye Consciousness Method" that I was reluctant to close had side effects.
Naked jealousy!
Liang Qu straightened his back and leaned back.
Long Eying elbowed Long Yao who was picking out the ring. Long Yao reacted and reached out to help.
"Don't!"
Liang Qu raised his hand to stop him. He could roughly guess the root cause of the scratching. Even if Xiao Xiu was like this at the birthday banquet, Dragon Girl couldn't help but lift the table in a hurry?
It is better not to add fuel to the fire, but to be merciful and merciful.
A ruined birthday banquet is not beautiful.
"Hahaha."
Xu Zishuai said happily.
Yang Xu, Yu Dun and others looked surprised, and soon realized that Liang Qu was in distress. After thinking for a moment, they understood and raised the corners of their mouths.
Only Long Nu didn’t know why.
"Senior sister, I'll change seats with you."
Zhuo Shaoqin held up the five or six rings in his hand, his intention self-evident.
"Just take your pick!"
"Junior brother is awesome!"
Zhuo Shaoqin smiled with narrowed eyes, passed Long Li and Long Eying, sat on the left side of Long Yao, hugged her and picked out rings together.
Long Eying realized something, looked at the garden, and frowned slightly.
"call."
Liang Qu moved to Long Li's right hand side, feeling physically and mentally comfortable.
The garden is located directly behind the longevity hall.
The place where everyone is seated is in the middle area between the longevity hall and the garden, with a very good view from both ends.
Unexpectedly, Liang Qu's original position was facing away from all living beings in the garden, and he had to bear everything by himself.
Now, when I turn half a circle around the table, I can see the longevity hall in one half and the garden in the other half, and most of my unscrupulous sight is gone.
Nothing else.
Afraid of meeting eyes.
The ferocity of the Great Hunting Meeting is vivid in my mind.
The dog thief hugging him from left to right was certainly hateful, but what was even more hateful was that he couldn't defeat this vicious man.
Sad~
In the longevity hall.
The tortoise shell reflects the light of the candle, making it dazzlingly bright.
After a long silence, the roll-call resumed, but after two sporadic roll-calls, there was silence again. After two-quarters of an hour, the roll-call continued continuously.
"The manager is very considerate..."
Xiang Changsong asked: "Why did Senior Brother say this?"
Yang Xu raised his chin slightly.
"After the junior brother delivered the tortoise shell pieces, he was probably worried that no one would dare to sing. I saw that the manager moved all the people who were originally at the back to the front. The state colleagues, state magistrates and others moved back and waited for a while. The tortoise shell effect fades."
"I listened to it and sang it twice. The gift was quite expensive."
"Birthday gifts are very particular. What kind of person, what kind of relationship, and what kind of birthday gift you give. If it does not suit your identity, you will either be stupid, taken advantage of, or you are asking for help from others."
Xiang Changsong thought thoughtfully: "That's good for both sides. The one who postpones it later avoids the influence and embarrassment. When the roll call is postponed, there is no one behind him, but it is conspicuous. Everyone gets what they need."
"Amazing."
Have a few small talk.
The roll call continues.
Xu Zishuai had nothing to do. He taught the maid to bring the paper, took out the seal he had just obtained, pressed the red mud to cover it and played with it.
Don't say it.
None of the brothers present knew calligraphy, but they could see that the calligraphy was beautiful, and the more I looked at it, the more charming it became.
The remaining brothers and sisters each took out their engraving seals and stamped their names on the paper.
Liang Qu played with it for a while and gave it to Long Yao and Long Li who were interested.
"The white writing is like the clear clouds scattered, the jade trees are facing the wind; the red writing is like the lotus reflecting the water, and the mandarin ducks playing on the waves. Mr. Xu is well-deserved for his reputation." Cao Rang said with emotion.
Xiang Changsong raised his head: "Is this talking about Mr. Xu?"
"Well, last night I knew that Mrs. Xu was a master of seal engraving, so I went to the Xu family library to check it out. After chatting with the old man at the gate for a while, I learned that these words were used by Taizu to praise Mr. Xu. On the occasion of Mr. Xu's return home , Taizu wrote it out in his own hand and framed it, and hung it in the Xu family library."
Hiss~
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
Everything needs a reference, a reference person.
At first, we didn't have a deep understanding of Xu Rongguang's identity as a seal engraver, but after hearing the emperor's praise, everyone felt that his skills were as high as heaven, and he must be a top-notch calligraphy master in the world.
Hu Qi asked: "Senior Brother Cao, what is Bai Wen and what is Zhu Wen?"
"It's basically the difference between positive engraving and negative engraving." Cao Rang pointed to the paper, "If it's dipped in ink mud, if it prints red, it's Zhu Wen, if it prints white, it's Bai Wen."
Everyone looked down and observed.
Red lettering on white background.
"Ours is Zhu Wen?"
"Um."
"Make money, make money."
Xu Zishuai was pleasantly surprised.
I gave a potted plant worth sixty-eight taels, and got a big red envelope of fifty taels, dozens of gold rings, and a seal from a seal-engraving master that the emperor praised!
Happy birthday.
The boat has a junior brother, the food has a natal family, and a gift can still get the money back!
"Is the roll call over? I haven't heard it for a long time."
He looked up towards Changsong.
"Seems to be."
Everyone looked outside the door and saw that there were only a few people queuing outside.
The birthday ceremony started at the 1st hour, and now it has reached 5:00. For more than an hour, the entire gift-giving roll-call process has come to an end, which shows that there are so many guests.
Some people don't even have seats. They come in to give birthday gifts and go out around the screen.
Wait another two quarters of an hour.
Seeing that no one came back, the emcee prepared for the next process.
The steward waved his hand.
The people coming and going are busy but not chaotic.
A round table was laid out in the longevity hall, and the crowd dispersed and sat down according to the seating order.
Long Yao and Long Li looked forward to it.
Then wait for a long time.
Xu Hanping brought a bowl of steaming noodles that was big enough for one person to hug. Xu stood by and picked up a bowl with long chopsticks, scooped up the soup with a spoon, and held it for Xu Rongguang to taste.
After eating, the whole bowl of noodles was taken down and distributed to the children of the Xu family. Some people even took the initiative to ask for it to get some to share in the joy.
There were also noodles on the tables.
Long Li was disappointed and served Liang Qu a bowl and whispered to his ear.
"Elder, there is only one bowl of noodles for the birthday banquet."
"Who said that? It hasn't started yet." Liang Qu laughed, "Longevity noodles are considered 'breakfast'. I'm afraid you will be hungry. After eating the noodles, it's called 'warming birthday'. Wait a while and the dishes will be served. If you are hungry, eat two more bowls to fill your stomach."
"No, I want to save my stomach!"
Long Eying glanced at Long Li.
Long Li sat up straight, looking at his nose and heart.
Fill the stomach.
Gongs and drums were loud in the garden, and the drama began.
Amidst the noise, the eldest son Xu Hanping came to the main table where the masters were sitting with a lacquer tray in his hand, raised the tray over his head, and respectfully served the dishes.
Three times in a row.
The guests around shouted for someone to change.
The maids and servants came in with trays.
"Okay, it's time to start!"
...
The tide was surging.
There were few fishing boats staying at the Shangrao Pier.
The weather was getting colder, and the beginning of winter would come in a few days. The fish catch was decreasing day by day, and the fishermen wanted to catch more nets at the end to survive the cold winter.
Water splashed everywhere.
Quan Guangqin and Quan Yuxuan looked around, confirmed that nothing was wrong, and waved underwater.
The figure floated up, from darkness to light.
Puff.
Quan Linghan emerged from the water, his fins trembling, and he dropped water droplets. He looked around and felt the very different water quality in his gills, and was deeply shocked.
"Is this the Jianghuai area?"
"That's right, Chief Quan, why don't you go ashore and take a look." Long Binglin invited him warmly, "Lord Xu, the leader of the Hebo Office, is waiting on the shore."
There was a moment of silence.
"Okay!"
After a while.
"Chief Quan!"
Xu Yuelong was delighted to see the mermaids in person.
It was less than two years since the establishment of the Pingyang Hebo Office, and diplomatic relations were established with the Jianghuai dragons and mermaids.
What is a capable official!
