When I approached Shazhou County, I saw red cloaks and brocades hanging on the city walls from a distance.

When I approached some city gates, I saw a large couplet hanging from the high city gate, saying:

The clouds rise and the sandbank work hard, and the terrain is the top scholar.

Three Yuan and the Mo Shangxin, eight-sided golden toad palace and osmanthus!

The couplet is written in an average way, but it is many times larger than the couplets posted by ordinary people. It has a red background and is bright and dazzling.

By the way, I also boasted about Shazhou County.

When I looked at the city walls again, there were crowds of people and everyone was laughing. People with depression would be infected and laughed when they came.

As soon as Liao Qing and his friends entered the city gate, the crowded crowd was automatically divided into two rows. The fat county magistrate and a group of gentry from Shazhou County welcomed them out.

"Welcome the top scholar back to Shazhou County!"

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!!"

After saying that, the fat county magistrate waved his hands to his left and right, "Play music, play music..."

A group of gongs and drummers next to them started to sing gongs and drums with loud noises, with large and small trumpets all in battle, with gongs and drums being loud and bustling, which was so lively.

...

Xu Jiaojiao and others looked at each other. Is this scene a little exaggerated?

"What's going on? There is no sign on our carriage, so how do you know our itinerary?"

Liao Qing replied, "Maybe we were paid attention to when we left Beijing. The carrier pigeons arrived in Shazhou County one earlier. The two large carriages were of extraordinary color and style. It is not difficult to judge from the time.

"

That's true.

After seeing the information collected by the Lefang Siqin spies that day, if the spies in this industry want to sell the news, it will spread faster than anything else.

Many people are probably concerned about their every move now, with various purposes.

It is not surprising that someone is informed of whereabouts.

People have put forward such a big show to welcome them, and they continue to sit in the carriage carelessly, as if they are embarrassed.

Liao Qing and his group got off the carriage.

The fat county magistrate came up excitedly, "This Yushu is as amazing as a god, and is the top scholar! I have seen it before, seen it, and I have an impression. This time it has made our Shazhou County famous all over the country.

Ah! The top scholar, welcome to return to your hometown to visit relatives, welcome to welcome..."

The gentry and gentry in Shazhou County, behind him, also looked up and said hello.

Everyone's words were filled with flattery and congratulations, and his face looked proud.

Especially familiar faces, etc.

For example, the owner of the pig shop who went to sell pigs in the past, as well as the owners of the neighbors and shops of the He family store, have all come to meet Liao Qing and his wife, and they are all particularly intimate.

They had known each other before, and this made them feel superior to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was kind and insisted on greeting Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao.

It has already booked the largest restaurant in Shazhou County, and it is hard to refuse the kindness.

Liao Qing and the others went there.

During the meal, the county old man learned that Liao Qing's grade was one level higher than him, and a group of people knelt down and saluted in panic.

Liao Qing was so amused that he couldn't care about them half a rank, so he quickly asked them to get up.

In short, the atmosphere was warm. The gentry learned that Liao Qing was going to take office in Hancheng at the beginning of his life, and he gave gifts and other gifts. If there was a rough man, he would give silver notes and other things on the spot.

They were all rejected by Liao Qing.

In fact, if Daxiang Country has this custom, the gentry funded officials who took office in advance, which is considered an investment.

If you have any later, you can ask the officials for help and shelter.

Studying is very expensive, because you are so old but you don’t have any income. Many people even pass the exam and get an official, but they don’t even have the money to take office. At this time, some local tyrants are willing to

Fund you.

The good wind brings me to the sky with its power.

However, people eat soft-mouthed people and have short hands.

Liao Qing naturally didn't want to, and he was not worried about money, so he refused directly, and no one mentioned it again.

This is a tacit thing. Since you can't curry favor with it, then forget it.

Forced will make people disgusted.

There is Qingxi Xujiu behind Liao Qing, and he is indeed not a person who lacks money.

I had a meal suitable for both guests and guests.

Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao and others went to the wine shop in Shazhou County. Xu Laosan was in charge of the wine shop. He had long heard that the top scholar and his wife had returned to the county town and were invited by the county master, so he had been waiting for it.

of.

Finally, I'm back.

The outer edge of Qingxi Xujiu has already been surrounded by a group of people from Shazhou County. They all know that the top scholar and his wife will definitely come to take a look.

There were several floors inside and outside, and some even sat with small stools.

Just wait for the top scholar and his wife to come over to watch the fun.

"The top scholar is back! The top scholar's wife is back too!"

"I haven't seen each other for a year, this is a huge change!"

"No, the top scholar's wife is more beautiful and richer. The top scholar is so majestic and aura, and he has the appearance of an official."

"Right right ..."

Xu Jiaojiao found it funny and nodded and waved her hand to greet the villagers one by one.

Xu Laosan stood at the door and rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Old sister, brother-in-law, you are back..."

Liao Qing smiled and replied, "Hello, Brother Third."

"Third brother!"

Xu Laosan put the sign that was suspended from business outside the door, "I'm sorry, everyone, my family has a great happy event, and the wine shop is closed for the time being."

"Get into the house and talk."

Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing took Mo'er into the front room first.

Che Zhengting and Ji Fu drove a carriage together, and led by the servant of the wine shop, walked into the backyard door and entered the yard.

Inner room.

The group sat down and drank tea.

First, I talked about the business situation in the wine shop, etc.

Everything is good. Shazhou County's business is actually good. It is the best among all the wineries in Shazhou County. However, compared with Qingxi wineries in Beijing, it is far behind. The profits cannot keep up with Beijing.

The tip of the iceberg over there.

In Beijing, we mainly take the high-end route. Shazhou County here has poor consumption capacity, and they are all simple basic wines, which are cheaper.

It's a reasonable thing.

Then,

Xu Jiaojiao asked Xu Laosan, "Brother Third, are you in good health? How are your legs?"

"The body is much better than before, and my legs are more flexible. Erlang will come to me to have a needle or something in a while. It feels good, it's pretty good."

Xu Laosan imagined his life before, and looked at his current life. It was a huge change. He once lost hope for life, but now everything is fine.

Mixed feelings.

"My sister, I thank you. Without you, the third brother would not be today."

As he was talking, the guy outside led Ji Fu and the others in.

When Xu Jiaojiao looked at one of the guys, she was called Hu Zi's child. She hadn't seen him for a year and had a lot of things to come.

"Isn't this the tiger of Duan Qiulan's family? Are you used to living here?"
