MTL - Rise From the Humble-Chapter 1671 dry wood fire

  Chapter 1671 Dry wood and fire

  There was no one around, and in the dead of night, Hu Zongxian tidied up his appearance and walked up the steps of the imperial envoy's office.

   "Stop! Who are you? What's your business here late at night?" The gatekeeper in front of the imperial envoy's yamen stepped forward and asked.

These guards are all domestic slaves brought by Zhao Wenhua from the capital, and they are used to the prestige of relying on the strict party forces in the capital. His master came to the south of the Yangtze River to serve as an imperial envoy. He is the representative of the emperor. He must not be the first person in the south of the Yangtze River. There are countless dignitaries and dignitaries who came to curry favor with their lord along the way. The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door are not talking about it. If you want to ask to see the lord, you have to please our brothers, otherwise we won't let you in. Compatriots, if we don't report, you don't even think about going in.

   "I'm Hu Zongxian, the censor of the inspection and supervision of Zhejiang Province. I have something to call on the imperial envoy Mr. Zhao." Hu Zongxian stepped forward and cupped his hands.

   "It turned out to be Mr. Hu. It's unfortunate that Mr. Hu came. My master is asleep. Let's talk about things tomorrow."

   Menzi waved his hand and called Master Hu, but he didn't make a move to inform him.

Hu Zongxian's unexpected expression flashed away, he raised his head with a smile on his face, and stuffed a fifty-two silver fruit into the leader's hand without any trace, and said with a smile, "Please accommodate me, I have something important to do. Report to Lord Zhao, and please inform me."

  The leader, Menzi, looked down at the amount on the bank note, and a smile bloomed on his face like a chrysanthemum.

  Fifty taels of silver bill, this Hu Yushi is really generous, worth half a year's silver.

Later, I will share ten taels for my subordinates to drink, and I can still drop forty taels. Haha, the new concubine at home sees this money, so she has to do her best to serve me. Hu Yushi is really my God of Wealth what.

"Since there is an important matter, the little ones don't dare to delay. My master often teaches us that state affairs are more important than Mount Tai, and we must not dare to delay. The young ones will go in and report. Hu Yushi wait a moment. You guys are still stunned What are you doing, why don't you hurry up and invite Mr. Hu to the concierge, and serve him with tea and water."

  It is easy to do things with money, and the leader of the door is so enthusiastic that he invites Hu Zongxian to the porter to serve tea and water, while he personally trots all the way to the yamen to report the news of Hu Zongxian's visit.

   Soon, Hu Zongxian in the concierge heard footsteps coming from the courtyard, thinking that Menzi Tong should have returned.

   It is not a problem for Mr. Zhao to meet him, the problem is how to persuade Mr. Zhao to trust him.

  While getting up to meet the door, Hu Zongxian went through the manuscript to persuade Zhao Wenhua again in his stomach. He came to visit Zhao Wenhua many times in the future, so he couldn't offend these doormen.

   "Haha, I was overjoyed when I heard that Meilin was visiting. I got out of bed in a hurry and my clothes were disheveled. Don't blame Merlin..."

A loud laugh came from outside the door, and then a figure of Zhao Wenhua in pajamas appeared in front of them. The shoes on his feet were not put on properly, and he was pulling them like slippers. Obviously, he was already in pain. Hearing the door tell Hu Zongxian After the news of the visit, I didn't even have time to wear clothes before coming out to welcome.

   "The next official pays homage to Mr. Zhao, what can Zong Xian do, disturb your rest, and ask Mr. Zhao to go out in person in pajamas..."

  When Hu Zongxian saw that Zhao Wenhua came out to greet him in person, he was greeted in reverse in his pajamas, and he couldn't help being surprised and moved.

   Seeing Hu Zongxian's surprised and moved appearance, Zhao Wenhua couldn't help laughing. It is not in vain that he took off his clothes and put on pajamas to greet him after receiving the news just now. Isn't this effective. In ancient times, Cao Cao walked upside down to welcome Xu You, and now I, Zhao Wenhua, walk upside down in pajamas and Hu Zongxian. This is a good story that has been sung for thousands of years in the future.

   "This official has just arrived here, and I am not familiar with all things in the south of the Yangtze River. I am thirsty for talents, and Mei Lin came to visit. This official is not satisfied."

  Zhao Wenhua enthusiastically stepped forward to hold Hu Zongxian's hand, and patted it twice to show his closeness.

"Your Excellency is thirsty for talent. Even though this subordinate official is unworthy, he is willing to repay your favor by wearing his pajamas backwards. I have been in Yingtian for several months, and I am quite familiar with the customs of the south of the Yangtze River, military and civilian affairs. If you want to know anything, just ask the adults, and the officials will tell you everything, and you can talk endlessly."

   Hu Zongxian bent down gratefully and said, with the posture of a woman who pleases herself, and a scholar who dies for a confidant.

   As for whether Hu Zongxian is really grateful or fake, no one knows except Hu Zongxian himself.

   "Come, come, Meilin, I brought a can of pine tea from the capital, let's go to the study to drink and talk."

  Zhao Wenhua stretched out his hand and took Hu Zongxian's arm and walked towards the yamen, talking enthusiastically as he walked.

When Zhao Wenhua raised his foot and stepped over the threshold, a section of trousers under his pajamas was exposed, and Hu Zongxian who was following Zhao Wenhua naturally saw it, but Hu Zongxian turned a blind eye to this and was not surprised at all. The excited expression on his face did not change at all, because Zhao Wenhua As soon as he entered the door, he had already seen it once when he bowed to meet him.

This kind of silk trousers are worn under official uniforms and regular clothes. If you go to bed at night, you must first take off the official uniforms, then the long trousers, and then put on pajamas. No one would wear long trousers and then put on pajamas. Sleeping like that is too uncomfortable and unreasonable.

"Buddha jumped over the wall and stir-fried it personally. It is rare for a thousand gold to get a tea or two. I didn't expect it to be the world-famous Songluo tea, so I am lucky today. To be honest, Xiaguan went to Monk Dafang for the name of Songluo tea. To buy tea, it is a pity that Monk Dafang made a limited amount of tea, which has already been sold out, and there is no more tea to sell to me, so I have not been able to taste the taste of Songluo tea. , The dream came true today."

   Hu Zongxian said with a look of surprise and gratitude, as if he had admired the name of Usnea tea for a long time, and today he got his wish.

   For this, Zhao Wenhua was very helpful. That's right. Just now, Zhu Ping'an's reaction to Songluo tea was too flat, which made him feel little sense of accomplishment. Hu Zongxian's response was much more in place, which gave Zhao Wenhua a sense of accomplishment here.

   "Hahaha, Merlin will try it later, if you like it, I will give you half a can of pine tea when you leave."

  Zhao Wenhua laughed and said proudly.

   "This pineapple tea is hard to come by, and it is definitely not easy for an adult to get a can. If a gentleman does not steal what others love, how can a subordinate be ashamed to accept it."

   Hu Zongxian declined gratefully.

"Hey, you can't say that. The so-called good bows are given to archers, and BMWs are given to heroes. If Songluo tea meets the Lord of Ming Dynasty, it will not be in vain to come to this world. I left Zihou tea just now, and I also wanted to give half a can of Songluo tea. Luocha is looking for a good master, but unfortunately Zihou is full of talent and learning, but he is not good at tasting tea and cannot appreciate the deep taste hidden in Songluo tea."

  Zhao Wenhua chuckled, and enthusiastically pulled Hu Zongxian into the study.

   This means that Zhao Wenhua failed to win over Zhu Pingan. When Hu Zongxian heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he was the first person.

   Good good good good!
