Chapter 67: Military Pushing Officials Banquet Colleagues
After Pei He said that, he buried his head in his hand and Wu Xin'an was disappointed when he saw this.
"You didn't go and take a look?"
How could it arouse people's curiosity and be responsible for answering questions and answering questions?
Pei He's eyes remained unchanged from the medical books,
"Don't look at it if you are not polite!"
Wu Xinan rolled her eyes,
"Then you just want to say nothing!"
It’s really tiring to talk to this wood lump, so I’d better go back and listen to the gossip between the old woman and Xiao Cheng’s family!
"I'm leaving!"
"Um……"
Pei He responded without raising his head, until she jumped out of the yard, then looked up.
Wu Xin'an turned home and arrived at the door of the house. Wu Ping from the doorman came up to salute.
"Miss..."
Tighten your eyes while talking,
"Miss, you're back just in time..."
"What's wrong?"
Wu Ping winked behind him,
"There are guests here today!"
“What guest?”
"It's said it's a distant relative at home..."
After a pause, he said,
"I am a relative from my hometown in Jiangxi!"
Wu Xinan frowned,
"Who is coming from my hometown in Jiangxi?"
Wuping responded,
"It is said that it is a distant relative of our family. A cousin who was distant when the old man was alive went out to explore the house many years ago. He has passed away long ago, but he has left an old lady and two sons..."
It's a coincidence that this matter is!
This relative is really far from Wu Xin'an's generation. That distant relative is the cousin of the old man Wu Zheng who came out of the fifth ward. Although his surname is Wu, he is already separated from the mountain.
This Wu Donghao master married Song and gave birth to two sons Wu Ming and Wu Liang. Wu Liang has been struggling outside for many years and has saved up some wealth. He passed away a few years ago. His two sons took over the family's business. They used to live in the capital. Because the business in the capital became increasingly difficult, they simply went south and thought of the Feng Shui treasure land of Suzhou and Hangzhou to find a place.
They bought a house in Zhongqing. Because Mrs. Song first came and heard that the steamed pigeons in Wanghu Tower were very famous, so she asked her family to buy them early in the morning. After buying two, she happened to meet someone from the Wu family. Seeing that the brother had two in his hand, she went up to ask and asked, and the servants there would be a high price to buy them. The servants sent by Xiao Cheng family showed the sign of the Wu Promoter, and when they heard it, they thought to themselves,
"The people do not fight with officials, and it is not easy to offend people when they first come here!"
So he sold one to the servants of the Wu family and went back to Qingzhongli to talk like this. Wu Ming and Wu Liang were angry when they heard it. However, Mrs. Song's eyes lit up and said to her two sons,
"I went back to Jiangxi two years ago and heard that the son of one of your distant cousins was an official in Hangzhou. Coincidentally, this prosecutor's surname is Wu. I don't know if it's our relative. If we take it seriously, wouldn't we have a trust?"
Wu Ming and Wu Liang are businessmen, and they know these things best. When they hear that the other party’s surname is Wu and he is an official, he can get married without a kinship, let alone take it seriously and get married!
After a moment, he sent someone to inquire. Now Wu Hongwen and Wu Promoter in Hangzhou are famous. The family sent out to find out that Wu Promoter is from Jiangxi after a moment of inquiry. The servants went back to do this and this. After such a talk, Wu Ming and Wu Liang were overjoyed and hurriedly urged me to dress up, bring gifts, and came to the door to ask for a meeting in person in a carriage!
Wu Ping is the gatekeeper guarding the gate. If a guest visits the door, he naturally needs to find out clearly. Wu Ming and Wu Liang are visiting the door to show their origins. Wu Ping remembers it in his heart. When the eldest lady comes back, he hurriedly reports to the eldest lady. Wu Xin'an heard it and ticked his mouth.
"This relative is so far away!"
As he said that, he took out a pack of medicine from his arms to give it to Wu Ping.
"This is the pain relief ointment I found for you at Dr. Jin's place. I put it on it in the wet weather, so that your legs will not hurt anymore!"
When Wu Ping saw it, he was flattered and saluted repeatedly.
"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss, you still remember your little injured leg!"
Wu Xinan waved his hand,
"Don't take small things...you don't have to take them to heart!"
She is rough-minded and does not like being gentle and kind, but she is righteous and has a good relationship with her servants. The group of servants in the martial arts family all admire the young lady's brute force, and she always has a reward for her when she meets her. Therefore, she is very attentive to inform her every day, and she is very happy to get along with Xiao Cheng on her back!
Wu Xinan heard gossip in front of the door, but when he entered, he went straight back to his own yard. Due to Mrs. Fu's disgust for her, she thought she would not send someone to invite her out to see the guests. Why should she go out and ask her to be disgusted in front of others? She was happy to be quiet.
When Wu Hongwen came back in the evening, he was happy to hear about this, so he said to Xiao Cheng.
"Our family in Hangzhou has no relatives except for some colleagues and friends. It is a good thing to have relatives walk around. They said they didn't say when did they come back?"
Xiao Cheng responded,
"It was said that I came to visit the master two days later!"
Wu Hongwen nodded,
"It is naturally a good thing to walk more between relatives!"
Xiao Cheng touched the newly obtained gold bracelet on his wrist and said with a smile,
"It is naturally a good thing for relatives to walk around more. I also invited two cousin-in-law to the house to talk to you!"
"Well, just treat them well!"
Wu Hongwen nodded, thought for a while and ordered,
"I won't come back for dinner tomorrow night, you don't have to wait for me..."
"The master will have social engagements tomorrow?"
"Well... the leader of the Japanese pirates made great efforts in the matter before. He had already said that he would have a banquet and had no time to do so. Now he is taking advantage of the New Year to invite everyone to gather..."
"Yes, Master!"
Xiao Cheng nodded with confidence. She has been with Wu Hongwen for so many years. Although she is Jixian and often gets angry with the stingy old woman, what makes her most proud is that her husband Wu Hongwen has never been flirting with her outside, and the couple respect each other as guests.
This is something that no woman can envy. Even the Taigong family has three concubines in the backyard of the house. This is the first thing she has in the Hangzhou officialdom!
The next day, Wu Hongwen got off the yamen and went to Louwai Building with his colleagues and subordinates. The shopkeeper had already received news and greeted him in front of the door.
"Master Wu, the story of you who bravely captured the Japanese pirates and made great contributions has spread all over Hangzhou. The young people were thinking about when the adults would hold a celebration banquet in the store so that the shop would also enjoy your favor, but they waited until today. Today, the young people specially asked the chef on the stove to prepare a banquet to satisfy everyone's food!"
Wu Hongwen said with a smile,
"Shopkeeper, don't talk nonsense. How dare you celebrate the achievements of a small contribution? It's not that people think I'm so happy and wanton. It's just that my colleagues are gathering together before the New Year!"
The shopkeeper said with a smile,
"The Lord has given us the great harm to the people of Hangzhou, but it is a small contribution. According to the smallest view, it is Ying Dashu's special book and recorded it in the palace. Our boss said that this is his account today, thanking the Lord for his hard work!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"Your boss is so flattering!"
The shopkeeper accompanied him to laugh and led everyone to the third floor.
"What a flattery? Sir, I have worked hard and diligently for the country and the people. If the adults had not kept this place safe, how could the small shop have a prosperous business? Some wine and dishes are the only way to express the gratitude of the young people. Adults should be happy and eat and drink well to live up to the beautiful wine and food and the beautiful scenery of West Lake today!"
Everyone sat down here and pointed at the shopkeeper's words.
"The shopkeeper is so good at talking, I will have to have a glass of wine with you later!"
"The young and old man is a vulgar person. He doesn't say very good things. He is all sincere. The adults are willing to give the young man a favor, so he naturally has to accompany the adults to have two glasses of wine!"
So these dishes came up like flowing water, and the best Shaoxing Huadian was served for twenty years. Everyone was still holding a shelf at first. When the shopkeeper gave everyone a glass of wine, he stepped down. After the door of the private room was closed, the group of people immediately revealed their true colors.
The one who took off his official robe took off his official robe, the one who shook his official robe, rolled up his sleeves, tucked his front collar to his waist, and set off his posture.
"Come on, let's plays and saucers!"
He stretched out his hands and wanted to punch. Wu Hongwen also threw away Swen at this time, stood up and stepped on one foot on the stool, took turns to salute everyone, and fucked when the cup was over.
"Thank you brothers for taking care of me so far. I have the benefits of you, so I can't lose everyone's share!"
Everyone said,
"Sir, I am very righteous to my brothers..."
Someone answered,
"The young lady in front got the money and never forgot about us. She is actually the inheritance of the great master!"
"Yes, the young lady can capture Japanese pirates alive at a young age. She is really a woman! "
Everyone praised Miss Wu, that all parents in the world are the same. It is better to praise his children than to praise him. Wu Hongwen is not immune to the common sense. After hearing the flattery of everyone, it was like drinking nectar and jade liquid. The 183,000 pores of the whole body were stretched out, and they were proud and relieved, while saying humbly,
"She was just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse!"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be too humble. How many daughters in Hangzhou's houses are all panic and afraid when they hear that the Japanese pirates are afraid. Only the eldest lady dares to capture the thief alive. This is the only thing that is the tiger father without a dog!"
"Yes! Yes... I'm going to tell you, the young man was shocked when he first saw the Japanese pirate. Such a fierce person could be captured alive by the eldest lady... It's really amazing! It's amazing!"
Everyone was praising her vigorously. Everyone here was a veteran of the officialdom. You can't flatter her assassinate her to flatter her. Isn't it a suspicion of flattery? Praising Shangguan's daughter makes Shangguan smile and squint her eyes. It's the same as praising Shangguan, and people will not be said to be flattered by others. After all, the daughter of Wuda family is fierce and different from ordinary people!
