It's still cold in Huashu in February, and the caravans at the gates bring the breath of early spring to Aino Castle.

Zhang Wenjin left and went to Suzhou, and his official position was still different, but his official rank rose by one level, from the fifth grade to the fifth grade. Outside the south gate, there were few people who came to see him off, looking back at Huiye Mansion, Zhang Wenjin was full of sorrow, sad and sad, sad and sad.

Feng Daoliang beside him persuaded: "My lord, Suzhou is in the south, and this is just in time for spring, which means that your future is bright, and the time is not early, let's set off." ”

With a long sigh, Zhang Wenjin got into the carriage behind him, lowered the curtain, Feng Daoliang had already abandoned his post and followed Zhang Wenjin to Suzhou to take up his post. Seeing Zhang Wenjin get into the car, Feng Daoliang said hello, and the eight carts were escorted by more than 20 dart masters, and the carriage slowly left Huiye Mansion in the sound of "squeak" wheels.

Sending away the old people to welcome their relatives, the new successor of Huazhou Sima Fang Shishu, Chuzhou is Shangzhou, Sima official rank from the five grades, here to Huazhou Tianzi Jiaen Jin official level, also under the five grades, and Jiang Anyi's official rank. Jiang Anyi, who stood outside the east gate to greet Fang Beijia to take office, was inevitably a little uncomfortable in his heart, what if this Fang Beijia was the same as Zhang Wenjin, relying on his official rank to fight for power, he squeezed Zhang Wenjin away, if he fought with Fang Shishu again and reached the ears of the Son of Heaven, how would the Son of Heaven see himself.

Hua Sicheng saw Jiang Anyi's solemn face, and laughed softly: "Anyi, have you heard of this Fang Beijia?" "Hua Sicheng's performance appraisal at the end of the year is flat, just suitable for two years of minor adjustment, and the ministry has been promoted to a higher level, and now he is Sima under the sixth grade.

Jiang Anyi was a little surprised, Fang Beijia is Sima of Chuzhou, Chuzhou and Huazhou are one south and one north, far apart, how could Hua Sicheng know him.

"This Fang Beijia was the county magistrate of Dunguan County, Huazhou more than ten years ago, and Hua has heard of Fang Beijia's reputation." Hua Sicheng said with a smile: "At that time, Lord Fang was less than forty, and now he should be over fifty years old." Anyi, don't worry, Fang Beijia is a loyal elder, and when he was appointed as the county commander, the official reputation was very good, and the local people were deeply favored by him. ”

On the official road, several dilapidated carriages stopped on the road, and an old man got out of the car with the help of the servants, and someone knew Jiang Anyi and reminded him softly: "My lord, that old man is the one who took office." ”

Jiang Anyi's heart sank, the officials were all noisy when they took office, and when they came, they were also more than a dozen horses swaggering, but they didn't expect this Fang Bei to come from the ground in a light car. With everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Jiang Anyi saw that Fang was not in his fifties, his beard was already half white, wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, his face was quite ruddy, his clothes were plain, and his fur fur was a little hairless, and he looked like he was a little old.

Fang Shishu spoke in a thick voice, smiled and saluted everyone, and said: "Disturb everyone, it's really uneasy, the old man is also half a Huazhou person, and he has to pretend that you will take care of it in the future." ”

A cold wind blew, Fang Shishu shivered, and said self-deprecatingly: "After leaving Huazhou for more than ten years, I actually forgot how cold it was here, and I thought that February in Chuzhou was already the season of spring flowers." ”

Jiang Anyi took off the fox fur on his body and put it on for Fang Shishu. Fang Shishu looked at Jiang Anyi seriously, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Lord Jiang is young and promising, and it is really fortunate to see him today." The old man and the teacher Yu Zhijie are in the same department and the first, and they are also your elders, and the old man has received this heart. ”

When he came to the government office, he checked the documents of the ministry, and the official seal was sent to the small official, and Fang Shishu took office.

The officials saw the salute again, Jiang Anyi also got up and made a bow to Fang Shishu, Fang Shishu returned the salute, and everyone sat down again to talk.

Jiang Anyi briefly introduced the situation in Huazhou, but Fang Shishu asked very carefully, and originally thought that the officialdom would be quick to talk for more than half an hour. After Fang Shishu finished asking, he arched his hand and said to Jiang Anyi: "My lord, Fang Mou heard what my lord said, in addition to daily official business in Huazhou this year, there are three major events: one is to combine taxes into one, the second is to tax the border city, and the third is to guard the border by the army. ”

Fang Shishu's words paused, as if thinking about the weight of three things, Jiang Anyi smiled: "Lord Fang has just come to take office, if you have something to say, let's talk about it tomorrow, it's not too early, Lord Fang will go to the other mansion to settle down first, and I will pick up the wind for Lord Fang tonight." ”

Fang Shishu stood up with a loss and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Fang is easy to get carried away when talking about official business, everyone, see you in the evening." ”

The banquet is set in Qixian Building, since Guo Huaili showed a simple extreme in Qixian Building, Qixian Building quickly became popular in the restaurant of Huiye Mansion, and the originally cold courtyard can not find a place without booking in advance, who doesn't want to experience the ultimate enjoyment.

At the right time, several carriages stopped in front of Qixian Tower, Jiang Anyi jumped off the horse, Tang Jie stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the horse, Fang Shishu got out of the carriage and came to the front of the building hand in hand with Jiang Anyi. The front of the building was already full of people, all of whom were famous squires and celebrities in Huazhou, the old lady of the Ning family, the male Huazheng of Zhenxi, the shopkeeper He, Hu Shang Aoli and others, and of course, Guo Huaili was also indispensable.

The Son of Heaven rewarded the squire of Huazhou for disaster relief, and Jiang Anyi erected a two-zhang high stone tablet at the east gate, and engraved the names and surnames of the disaster relief workers and the amount of money donated on them for people to see. This practice greatly alleviated the contradictions between Jiang Anyi and the wealthy squires of Huazhou, especially the gloomy departure of Zhang Wenjin, which made many people see the situation clearly, and they still have a future with Jiang Tingshi.

Jiang Anyi introduced Fang Shishu one by one, "This old man Ning, when the snow disaster, donated all the food in his family, long live the book of praise 'urgent justice and righteousness'; this is the male Huazheng of Zhenxi, known to Master Fang; the shopkeeper He is the largest merchant ...... Huiye Mansion."

Walking into the building, Fang Shishu was shocked by the scene in front of him, the tables and chairs were placed neatly and consistently, even the direction of the chopsticks was reversed, there was a little girl wearing pink clothes at the dining table, serving food and water was very thoughtful, and there was a row of girls in the same costume standing in the corner, seeing them come in, two people immediately stepped forward and smiled: "Uncles, please come with me." ”

Upstairs, there is already a large private room, the three tables in the shape of a character are equally spaced, the high-backed chairs are like flower petals, and the dishes on the table are like stamens, which is comfortable to see. The two little girls who greeted the road pushed open the door, and there were six little girls in the same costume floating in Wanfu, and said coquettishly: "See all the masters, please come in." ”

Fang Shishu's face was a little ugly, and he said to Jiang Anyi beside him: "Lord Jiang, it is officialdom etiquette for you to invite me to dinner, Fang Mou is inconvenient to refuse, why do you still make so many little girls, what does this mean?" Fang doesn't like to eat flower wine, let them go down. ”

Hua Sicheng behind him smiled: "Fang Gong, you don't know, these little girls are invited by the upstairs, just like downstairs, the ones who pour wine and hand towels for us are not what Fang Gong thinks." Besides, these little girls are all little girls raised in the Salesian orphanage, and Master Jiang asked them to come to the restaurant to do things so that they can earn some copper money to support themselves. Fang Gong, don't underestimate these little girls, they are in demand in Huiye Mansion now. ”

Fang Shishu said unconsciously: "Lord Jiang, Fang is reckless, don't blame." I heard that it was Lord Jiang who asked for the reopening of the Salesian orphanage, which was very meritorious, but I didn't expect that the adults were even more worried, not only to support the orphans and widows, but also to let them support themselves, admiration and admiration. ”

Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "Gong Fang, you are an elder, just call me by my name and call me Anyi." Fang Gong is a square person, and he is a model for younger generations and others to learn, I can't admire it, how dare I blame it. ”

Everyone, you let me sit down, don't talk about business at the wine table, talk about some wind and snow, literati and elegant things, and when the wine is full, everyone will inevitably make a wine order, tell a joke, and this meal will be eaten until the end of the day.

Guo Huaili and Jiang Anyi are in the same place. asked a few words about Yan'er's situation, and when he learned that there was no news, Guo Huaili said sullenly: "Xiao Yan'er is such a well-behaved girl, how could she run away with someone?" I knew that you should have taken her to work with her and found a good in-law for her. ”

The two sighed a few words, Guo Fatzi threw his worries over, and said: "Anyi, now Qixian Lou has my thirty shares, and if you want to treat you, you have to take care of your brother." By the way, I have eaten the dishes of the restaurant, it is not as good as your craftsmanship, your cooking skills are really amazing, but it is a pity that the stone returned to Pingshan Town, otherwise I would have pulled him to teach the chef of Qixian Building. ”

"Qixian Lou's business is very hot, just spend more money to hire a few good masters." Jiang Anyi knew that Guo Huaili was delicious, and he obviously wanted to eat the dishes he made, and suddenly remembered a miscellaneous book he read recently, "Wen Dingye Talk", which introduced the interesting stories of placing charcoal fuel on the lower layer and cooking food such as soup and meat on the upper layer, and there were similar episodes in the memory of the demon master. There are many cattle and sheep in Huazhou, which is suitable for this way of eating, if it can be implemented, the herdsmen in Huazhou will be able to earn more, but no one uses this ancient method.

As soon as he told Guo Huaili, Guo Huaili's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Anyi, you are clever, or you can make a show and ask me to try it out with you." ”

Jiang Anyi didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he just rode forward. Guo Huaili saw that Jiang Anyi didn't answer him, it seemed that he wouldn't get that "Wen Ding", he was so greedy by him that he couldn't stop there.

With a roll of his eyes, Guo Huaili caught up with Jiang Anyi and said, "Anyi, the honey fruit sold well last year, and many Hu merchants came to order. It's just that you didn't think about it at the time, and you scattered the recipes everywhere, and the method is not difficult, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell at a starting price this year. ”

Jiang Anyi frowned, he really didn't think it clearly at that time, although he helped the people for a while, I am afraid that he will not be able to help in the future. And last year's honey fruit sold well, this year the people will naturally have a variety of melons and fruits, more fruits, but the amount of honey is limited, no honey made of honey fruit can not be preserved, if you put brown sugar into it, the color is ugly, I am afraid that it will affect the quality. Moreover, the people are all planting melons and fruits, and they are afraid that the grain production will be reduced, and they do not know whether the tuntian can make up for it.

Guo Huaili saw that Jiang Anyi was worried, and said with a smile: "Anyi, I plan to sign a deed with the fruit farmers first, and purchase the melons and fruits at the market price after they are ripe. ”

Seeing Guo Huaili's narcissistic look, Jiang Anyi smiled and said: "If you can solve my troubles, Wen Ding, I will find a way to make it, but Brother Guo, I want to remind you, where do you come from to make honey for melons and fruits?" ”

Guo Huaili smiled mysteriously and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”(https:)
