It happened that Huang Jicheng, the governor of Changzhou, was inspecting spring ploughing in Yixing, and was living in the pavilion, after the two received the report, they were shocked, they had already received the official document, knowing that Yang Yan was appointed as the minister of Zhejiang West Road, but the capital of Zhejiang West Road was Lin'an Mansion, and the headquarters of the peace of chaos was in Pingjiang Mansion, so both of them thought that Yang Yan was either going to Pingjiang Mansion or going to Lin'an Mansion, but they didn't think that he arrived in Yixing, and stayed in the Lake Hotel. Therefore, the two hurriedly prepared a sedan chair and rushed here.

But Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback, who is this Yang Guanren? The local magistrate and magistrate had to rush to the Panghu Restaurant overnight to ask to see him, and it seemed that he was still a big official.

At this time, I saw Huang Zhizhou and Liu Zhixian one after the other, Yijing walked upstairs, saw Yang Yan and immediately gave a salute, and said: "Huang Jicheng, the lowly governor of Changzhou, Liu Bingnan, the governor of Yixing, has seen Lord Qincha and Mrs. Yueguo." The two of them had already inquired clearly downstairs, except for Yang Yan, who else came with them, Mrs. Guo was already a first-class commander, and her status was far above their five-rank Zhizhou and seventh-grade Zhixian counties, so in addition to giving Yang Yan a gift, the two also greeted Ye Muxue by the way.

Because the two local parents and officials came, the wife of the shopkeeper Liu had long avoided it, and the shopkeeper Liu did not dare to sit anymore, got up and stood aside, but when he saw that the two parents and officials saw Yang Yan with the courtesy of their subordinates, and called the minister, the shopkeeper Liu was even more suspicious, and it seemed that Yang Xianggong was really a big man.

Yang Yanzhi has experienced this kind of scene a lot, and said: "Two adults, this is not a public court, so there is no need to be polite." Sit down and talk. ”

The two thanked and sat down, and Huang Jicheng said: "I don't know that my lord and my wife came to Yixing County, and I didn't greet each other, and I hope your lordship will forgive me." The adults are afraid of the inconvenience of living in this restaurant, and they also ask the adults and their wives to go to the pavilion to rest with the officials. ”

Yang Yan smiled: "Two adults, no need. This lakeside restaurant was originally the property of the lady, so it is also a family residence of the official in Yixing, although the place is a little simpler, but the official arrived in Yixing, naturally went home to rest. ”

The two couldn't help but be taken aback, because the location of the restaurant is very good, and the taste of wine is not counted, it is quite famous in Changzhou, Huang Jicheng doesn't know much, but Liu Bingnan is a local parent official, I have heard of it, the legend is that the owner of this restaurant is a mysterious woman, usually rarely appears, it is said that the demeanor is elegant, but no one has ever seen her true face. It's just that someone inquired from the shopkeeper, but it's a rare beauty. Unexpectedly, she was Yang Yan's wife, and now Mrs. Yipin Yueguo.

At this time, I peeked at Ye Muxue, and it was really the face of the country and the city. Unexpectedly, in addition to having two princesses in Yang Yan's family, he could marry such a stunning beauty. In addition to marrying two princesses, it is said that he also accepted several wives and concubines, all of whom are beautiful and beautiful, and the most rare thing is that the two princesses and the wives and concubines get along very harmoniously, and there is no such thing as a little competition for favor. Therefore, I don't know how much merry material there is. The two couldn't help but secretly envy Yang Yan's Yanfu in their hearts.

However, although the government does not deliberately make things difficult for the Panhu Restaurant on weekdays, in addition to the normal taxes every year, the routine tribute is still collected, and the county magistrate will also charter a venue at the Panghu Hotel to entertain guests, and this fee will naturally not be paid by the magistrate himself. However, the Lakeside Restaurant is also very good at coming to things, and this kind of thing has never made Liu Zhixian difficult. But he never thought that this restaurant would be Yang Yan's industry.

Thinking that this restaurant had been under their rule for so many years, and they hadn't found out at all, both of them couldn't help but be a little afraid.

At this time, Ye Muxue also smiled slightly: "Over the years, I have been taken care of by two adults, and there has been a lot of trouble, so that the business of this restaurant is not bad." Thank you so much. ”

The two hurriedly laughed and said, "There, there, Mrs. is too talkative." ”

Huang Jicheng said this to nothing, just normal polite words. But Liu Bingnan's voice trembled slightly.

It turns out that because of the excellent geographical location of this lakeside restaurant, it is not that no one has the idea of beating it, and some people have entrusted Liu Bingnan to come here, spend money to ask him for help, fortunately, Liu Bingnan is not an official who takes any money, weighs the benefits, and feels that it is not cost-effective to do this kind of thing that hurts his reputation for a few hundred yuan, so he refused. Thinking of this, Liu Bingnan's forehead couldn't help sweating, fortunately he restrained himself a few times, otherwise he was afraid that the gauze hat on his head would have been gone a long time ago, and it seemed that some immoral things could not be done. If someone had offered the right price then, wouldn't he be ...... now

Huang Jicheng didn't know what Liu Bingnan was thinking? said to Yang Yan: "I don't know if the adults will stay here for a few days, and when the adults leave, the lower officials must practice for the adults." ”

Yang Yan said: "Huang Zhizhou's kindness is understood by the official, but now the bandits in the Taihu Lake area have not been settled, so he will not work in Zhizhou, and this official was ordered to come to Zhexi Road this time, that is, to eliminate the bandits, this is just near the Taihu Lake, and the official can sit here to inspect, so he will not work in Zhizhou." What's more, it is now the beginning of the spring of the year, and the affairs of the prefecture and county are very busy, so the two adults still go back to the yamen to govern the public, govern the place well, and treat the people of Li with kindness, so as to live up to the expectations of the imperial court. ”

The two of them hurriedly said: "My lord is right, the subordinate officials should abide by the law and be officials with all their hearts." ”

A few more people chatted a few more words, and then the two got up to leave. Yang Yan didn't keep it. Just together with Ye Muxue, the two of them were sent to the staircase. Then the shopkeeper Liu sent the two downstairs.

Huang Jicheng and Liu Bingnan are worthy of being old people who are old in accidents, and in such a short period of time, they are close to the shopkeeper Liu, and their words are very polite. As the saying goes, "the prime minister's seven officials", although Yang Yan is not the prime minister, but it is not the same, he naturally will not live here for a long time, and this shopkeeper Liu is undoubtedly Yang Yan's representative here.

Since it was Liu Bingnan, he knew that the two of them were actually surnamed "Liu" or the same clan, so he immediately changed his name to "brother". Unexpectedly, he could be called a brother and sister to the county lord, which made Shopkeeper Liu flattered.

Sending the two out of the door to the sedan chair, Liu Zhixian also gave him a salute and said with a smile: "Brother, please go back." In the past, the official did not know, and there were many negligences, but in the future, if this restaurant encounters any difficulties and troubles, or someone dares to make trouble here, just come to inform the official, and the official will solve it for you. ”

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, please come back, old man, please come back." ”

Only then did the two sides say goodbye. When the sedan chair was far away, the shopkeeper Liu was blown by the cold wind, and then he came to his senses, it seems that this Yang Xianggong is a great man.

He went back to the middle of the building and beckoned the men to close the door of the shop, and at this time the kitchen had prepared all the meals and was serving them upstairs one by one, and the other men were also placing dishes and chopsticks on the tables downstairs, ready to eat.

Shopkeeper Liu pulled an accompanying servant, pointed upstairs, and whispered: "This little brother, may I ask, what kind of character is this Yang Xianggong?" ”

When the congregation heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You asked my father-in-law, it was General Xiao Yang, who broke the Jin Army back then, and Xiao Yang, who married two princesses. Now he is the Tai Lieutenant of the Great Song Dynasty, the founding prince of Wuchang County, the envoy of Zhenning and Chongxin Army, Yang Yan and Yang Zihao. ”

Shopkeeper Liu's head immediately "buzzed", Yang Yan's name and his various legends and deeds, Shopkeeper Liu had naturally heard about it a long time ago, but he never thought that the husband brought back by his female owner today would be him. Shopkeeper Liu froze down, walked upstairs again, knelt down in front of Yang Yan, and said: "The grass people didn't know that it was the adults who arrived, and they were not polite to the adults, which is really a capital crime. ”

Yang Yan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Old man, what are you doing here?" You are all my Yang family's family members now, you need to be so polite there, get up quickly. ”

Ye Muxue also said: "Old man, don't worry, we don't have so many rules in our family, what we were like in the past, and how we will be in the future." ”

Although Shopkeeper Liu stood up, he didn't dare to eat with them at all, and he must go down to eat with the guys. Yang Yan and Ye Muxue couldn't resist him, so they had to let him go down.

At this time, the meals were ready, and there were only three of them left upstairs, but they were just right to settle down. Ye Muxue smiled slightly: "Xianggong, come and pay for our food here." As he spoke, he sandwiched the dish into Yang Yan's bowl.

Yang Yan smiled: "Don't just give me vegetables, you have also had a bumpy day, so you have to eat more." What is Rying's favorite food, eat more. ”

Because there are many people in Yang Yan's house, every time they eat, a large family sits around, and it is very lively, but such a family of three is even more warm and harmonious, and there is another feeling. Moreover, the restaurant in the lakeside building is really delicious, and Yang Yan is full of praise for it.

Ye Muxue said: "It's not that I'm boasting, my three signature dishes in the lakeside building, sweet and sour fish, roasted snails, and yellow stuffy loach, look at the entire coast of Taihu Lake, and I can't find a second one." It's just that it's getting late now, if it's daytime, you can see the scenery of Taihu Lake, and you can also rent a boat to go boating on Taihu Lake. ”

Yang Yan said: "Okay, when the day is free, our whole family will move here, live for a month, row on the lake every day, and then eat your wine and food here." ”

Ye Muxue also smiled and said, "That's very good." ”
