Wu used the three of them to take turns to draw a lottery and handed it to Zeng County to open it

Zeng County's order unfolded, and above it was a literati surnamed Su, a literati surnamed Zhang, and a literati surnamed Jiang.

After Wu Yong and them also read the above information, they said, "Okay, then let's visit these three tomorrow first." ”

Zeng County Commander asked: "Do you want me to show you the way tomorrow?"

Wu Yong hurriedly refused: "No, you can arrange a servant for us at that time." "For now, they still have to get the prayer slip done first, and if they can send it out overnight, it would be better, if not, they can take it with them and hand them out when they get to the door.

Zeng County ordered people to send them pen and ink, Wu Yong handed over these three pieces of information to Huang Guan, he had the best words among the three of them, and this task of writing a prayer post was naturally handed over to him.

Huang Guan did not shirk, took the pen and ink and began to write, while Wu Yong and the scholar went to the side to discuss what gifts to give to the literati tomorrow.

Wu Yong: "Otherwise, let's prepare according to the gift you prepared for the county magistrate this time." "The county magistrates can accept it without hesitation, and there is no need to burden those three literati to accept it.

Scholar: "But don't we have to come to their liking?"

Wu Yong: "These three pieces of information don't indicate what they like, instead of speculating, it's better to be decent and not make mistakes." Wu Yong looked at Zeng County Ling and asked for his opinion.

Zeng County Ling also agreed with Wu Yong's statement: "Well, those literati are all a little temperamental, and it is useless for you to deliberately curry favor, so it is better to prepare according to the number of etiquette." ”

The scholar was persuaded: "However, everything I prepared before was prepared on the mountain, and I don't know if there is a place to buy it at the bottom of the mountain." ”

Wu Yong: "The things on the mountain are all purchased from the bottom of the mountain, so let's go out for a walk later." ”

If they can't find it, they'll have to go back to the mountains again.

The scholar thought about it, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, we'll go to purchase it when Huang Guan finishes writing." ”

Seeing that they had discussed here, Zeng County Ling asked, "Where do you plan to stay at night later?" Do you want me to arrange it?"

Wu Yong saw that Huang Guan had already written: "The three of us will discuss it, and if there is a need at that time, we will come to trouble you again." Wu Yong plans to take them to live in Zhu Gui's branch in the county seat, where they are all their own people, so they don't have to worry about safety or anything.

Zeng Xian Ling waited quietly on the side.

Wu Yong explained the next arrangements to Huang Guan: "We will go out shopping now to prepare gifts, and in the evening, we now have two choices, one is to live in the restaurant branch opened by Zhu Leader in the county seat, and the other is to obey the arrangement of Zeng County's order." ”

Huang Guan had no objection to the fact that they were going to buy gifts, as for the arrangements for the evening: "Let's go directly to the branch opened by Zhu Touling to live, so don't trouble Zeng County." ”

The scholar also agreed: "If the Zeng County Decree arranges for us to live in his house, won't we have to meet Mrs. Zeng again." ”

The two thought of the treatment at noon, although they felt a little embarrassed to refuse Zeng County's order, but they were able to avoid his wife's words, and they still strengthened their thoughts.

Wu looked at them with a smile: "Okay, then you go and talk to him yourself." ”

The scholar and Huang Guan went directly to refuse the request of Zeng County's order, and took Wu Yong away directly.

Zeng County ordered them to send them outside, and he was also a little embarrassed: "You can come over again next time if you need to, I will keep it a secret from my wife." ”

Wu used them to stop Zeng County's order: "It's still bothering you today, we will come back if necessary, and tomorrow you can ask the official to come directly to the restaurant to find us." ”

After sending Wu Yong and the three of them away, Zeng County ordered someone to inform his wife, so that she didn't have to prepare at night.

Although Mrs. Zeng felt a little regretful, she still wouldn't waste food in the end.

After Wu Yong and them left the county office, they first went to Zhu Gui's branch to book a place to stay tonight, so as not to run out of empty rooms by then.

The shopkeeper of the branch was still quite familiar with Wu Yong, and knew that they were going out for a walk, so he asked, "Do you need to arrange a carriage to pick you up later?"

Wu Yong shook his head and refused: "There are a lot of things on your side, don't worry about our side, we will find a way to come back by ourselves when the time comes." ”

There were indeed a lot of things for the branch manager, so he didn't insist anymore and watched Wu use them to leave.

Wu Yong told the scholar: "From now on, we will listen to you, and you will go wherever you want to buy it." ”

The scholar nodded solemnly: "Then you follow by yourself." ”

The scholar selected the gifts to be sent out tomorrow according to his own standards, Wu Yong and Huang Guan were just responsible for carrying things, fortunately there were things prepared by the scholar before, and they spent an hour to complete the gifts, and then began to walk back: "Go back and distribute the gifts, and it is best to wrap them when the time comes." ”

All three of them carried their things in their hands and began to walk back.

When they returned to their place where they were staying tonight, the shopkeeper had arranged for someone to keep an eye on when they would return, and as soon as he received them, he led them to the resting place which the shopkeeper had arranged for them, where they could tidy up their things.

Wu Yong thanked Xiao Er: "Please go to the kitchen for us to call dinner." Wu Yong took out a small silver ingot, "Remember the excess first." ”

Xiao Er nodded and went down to arrange, and Wu Yong began to organize the things, divided the things they bought into three equal parts, and then packed them in specially bought and packaged paper.

Seeing the formation of three gift boxes of the same size, the scholar breathed a sigh of relief: "We can visit tomorrow as long as we bring them." ”

Wu Yong nodded: "Yes, I don't know if the Zeng County Order handed out the post?"

Huang Guan: "It's okay, even if we don't hand it out, we can visit, it's just a big deal to spend more time." ”

The scholar folded up the three gift boxes and pushed them into the corner: "By the way, are we going to go in a carriage or on a horseback tomorrow?"

The scholar was mainly worried that Wu Yong would get motion sickness.

Wu Yong: "Let's take the carriage, my motion sickness has improved a lot, as long as the road is not too bumpy." This also has a lot to do with the improvement of Wu Yong's physical fitness, and some discomfort and patience passed.

Scholar: "Then we still have to talk to the shopkeeper in advance, by the way, master, didn't you say that you would pick up Xiao Hei and Songguo when it was dark?

Wu Yong then thought of what he had forgotten before: "It's okay, if I don't go back, Leader Zhu will naturally take care of Xiao Hei and Songguo." "It's not like he hasn't fostered Xiao Hei and Songguo over there before, and he knows what to do.
