Chapter 1267: Predecessor (I)
Yang Huairen and a few of them were invited to a room in the atrium to rest, and the green-robed petty official ordered someone to serve tea, so he gave a salute and retired, "Everyone, let's do it for a while, and the lower officials will invite our Lord Ding from Yujin Garden to accompany a few people to talk." ”
After saying that, he withdrew, Yang Huairen tasted the tea quietly, but his eyes were observing the expression of the black cow's sister-in-law.
Hei Niu's sister-in-law seems to be very bland, and she can't see any changes in her heart, but the more she is like this, the more Yang Huairen and Brother Hei Niu feel curious.
The ghost sister just took a break here in Yujin Garden before entering the city, and she didn't think much about it, and accompanied the black cow's sister-in-law to continue to talk about the shortcomings of their women's parents.
After a while, another low-ranking petty official in a green official robe came, this person was quite handsome, he looked to be in his early twenties, his skin was fair, and even his walking posture looked so polite.
Yang Huairen guessed that this person should be Lord Ding, the official in charge of Yujin Garden, don't look at Yujin Garden is just a place for food quarantine, but because he is responsible for the food hygiene of millions of people in the entire capital, this Lord Ding is still a seven-grade official, which is not small.
Lord Ding saw Brother Hei Niu sitting near the door outside the door, and when he looked at his clothes, he could see that this was a five-rank military officer, and there was a difference of three or six grades between him and his official position.
He walked into the room and bowed to Brother Hei Niu in an orderly manner, and after Brother Hei Niu's fist was counted as a return salute, Master Ding and the others bowed slightly.
When he turned his gaze to the black bull's sister-in-law, his face was suddenly stunned, and then he was a little red, and he awkwardly avoided the black bull's sister-in-law's gaze.
Yang Huairen saw all this in his eyes, and from the time Lord Ding saw the sudden change in the face of the black cow sister-in-law, Yang Huairen immediately figured out why the black cow sister-in-law insisted on coming to Yujin Garden to check the eggs.
Brother Hei Niu also immediately understood something, but he pretended not to know on his face, so as not to embarrass everyone when the matter was explained.
Lord Ding just heard that the subordinate officials on duty said that there was a five-grade military general in Yujin Garden, and he kept saying that he was here to test the quality of eggs, and Lord Ding was curious at that time.
I wanted to tell my subordinates to perfunctory them and send them away, but after thinking about it, a five-grade general, no matter how rude he is, will not use the excuse of checking eggs to make trouble in a place like Yujinyuan, so I came to see what happened.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Butterfly, who was divorced by him.
Lord Ding was a little confused, in the face of Xiao Butterfly, he felt guilty, in fact, the two have known each other since childhood, their fathers are classmates, the two families are world friends, and the two of them can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
Although their father did not officially set an agreement for them to be a baby, when the two families interacted, the parents did not mention it as if they were joking, and the two of them were really a good match, and they could be married when they grew up.
When they grew up, Lord Ding's father really went to the Xiao family to propose, and the two became an unmarried couple.
The original agreement between the Ding family and the Xiao family was to wait for the son of the Ding family to participate in the imperial examination and the title of the gold list, so that the two would get married.
But later, Lord Ding did get the title of the gold list, but because there were many people who won the Song Dynasty and there were too few official vacancies, Lord Ding also used to be idle at home for a period of time.
Later, for the sake of his son's future, the father of the Ding family helped him build bridges and pave roads, and finally met an official who could go to the court.
The father of the Ding family brought his son to visit the door, and he was also appreciated by the official, but what happened later was a bit unexpected.
One of the official's daughters fell in love with the clear-eyed Lord Ding, so she made a suggestion to the father of the Ding family, the two families could be in-laws, and as long as Lord Ding married his daughter, he would arrange a fat difference for Lord Ding.
Lord Ding didn't agree at first, because he and Xiao Butterfly had already had a marriage contract, but the father of the Ding family thought about his son's future, and finally persuaded Lord Ding, and then he dissolved his marriage contract with Little Butterfly, which caused Xiao Butterfly to suffer from the eyes of the world.
Master Ding knew that he was sorry for Xiao Butterfly, and even in his heart, he still had intentions for Xiao Butterfly, but the reality made him have to face such a result.
Seeing Xiao Butterfly again today, she is already someone else's wife, and she brought her own officials to Yujin Garden, just to save face.
It's just that Lord Ding is still very strange, if Xiao Butterfly deliberately used a reason to check eggs to come to him in the Yujin Garden, then her official, that is, this five-rank general, should deliberately find some reason to reprimand him a few words, and give him something ugly so that he can't get off the stage.
But he carefully observed Li Heiniu's expression, as if he didn't know it at all, and smiled at him, looking at him like an honest and honest person, not like he came to trouble him.
Lord Ding was flustered for a while, and he didn't know what to do, just thinking that since people were here to check the eggs, it was better to do things according to their wishes.
"This Lord Li, it is said that there is no precedent for inspecting eggs in Yujin Garden, but since Lord Li insists on asking Yujin Garden to help inspect the eggs purchased by Lord Li, then the lower official will personally take someone to check it, so that Lord Li can rest assured."
Brother Hei Niu, where can't he see that Lord Ding is Xiao Butterfly's original marriage partner? It's just that he has a good heart and doesn't want to make people ugly, so he pretends not to know.
Brother Hei Niu actually didn't want to embarrass others, he wanted to say that you wanted to check, so he went to check it, but unexpectedly, Hei Niu's sister-in-law suddenly said at this time, "Thank you, adult, the woman has never seen how Yujinyuan inspects eggs, why don't we follow and see together." ”
Lord Ding was stunned, unable to figure out why Xiao Butterfly said this.
Yang Huairen saw that the atmosphere was cold, and he hurriedly got up to play the round, "Since my sister-in-law said so, my little brother is also curious, so let's follow Master Ding to gain knowledge." ”
He got up and made a gesture to lead the way, and Lord Ding woke up from his panic, wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and said, "Everyone, please follow the subordinate here." ”
Several people followed Lord Ding to a side courtyard on the side of the main gate of Yujin Garden, where the carriage with eggs had been brought by Hei Niu's sister-in-law.
A few of the officials received their orders and came here too, but they looked at the baskets of eggs on the carriage, but they didn't know how to check them.
Master Ding hadn't been on duty in Yujin Garden for a few years, so he naturally didn't know how to inspect eggs, so he had to order, "Just follow the way you inspect pork, starting with the appearance of the eggs and whether there are any parasites." ”
