Chapter 032: Good News Descends from the Sky
Song Genhai returned to Qingyuan County one step ahead of Cui Geng.
After entering the city, he first asked his henchmen to take two people to the livestock market to dispose of the mules, and the rest of the fast arresters continued to escort Lin Sanlang and others back to the Yamen prison.
As for himself, he naturally went straight to Chongwenfang.
……
Chongwenfang, Song Mansion.
After listening to Song Genhai tell the ins and outs of the whole matter, Song Wen's brows were already twisted into a pimple, and his face was gloomy and he got up angrily, and scolded: "Idiot! This woman is a short-sighted fool! Didn't I warn her a long time ago not to provoke Cui Erlang and not to fight Cui's Liquor Shop recently? It's good now, I didn't take advantage of it, not to mention, I was arrested and stolen by someone, and I was escorted back to Putian County. ”
Since Song Wen ordered Hu Zeyi to be assigned by the county, he had already dispelled his desire to covet and occupy Mulan Spring Wine, but it didn't mean that he didn't pay attention to Cui Geng and Cui's Liquor Workshop. Because whether Mulan Spring Wine can be selected as the royal tribute wine is directly related to whether Qingyuan County can be promoted to Shangxian County by the decree of the imperial court, and it is also related to whether he, an old official who has been working for decades, can successfully enter the stream with variegated colors, and the real carp jumps over the dragon gate and becomes the Qingyuan County Lieutenant of the Nine Grades of Official Residence.
So these days, not only did he not embarrass Cui's Wine Workshop, but on the contrary, he secretly took care of the woman Mei Ji and asked her not to fight the idea of Mulan Spring Wine again. In his heart, no matter how much black-hearted silver he earns, it is not as tempting as a variegated county lieutenant to become a county lieutenant of Qingyuan. In other words, at this stage, whoever destroys Mulan Spring Wine and successfully becomes the royal tribute wine is infringing on his interests, and he is the enemy of Song Wen!
Therefore, when he heard that Mei Ji didn't know the seriousness of his own future, and secretly teamed up with Xue Songnian, a dog, to imitate Mulan Spring Wine to make fake wine, could Song Wenyan not be angry?
Song Genhai has always been afraid of Song Wen, and when he saw his uncle furious, he had to continue to bow down and not dare to raise his head.
"Hmph, you're an idiot too!"
Song Wen glanced at Song Genhai fiercely again, and scolded: "You know that Mei Ji is my daughter-in-law, why do you still let the people from the Putian County Government escort her away?" So many catches under your hands are decorations, and the guys in your hands are all burning sticks? ”
Song Genhai wanted to come to invite merit, but he was reprimanded in vain, and he was bitter in his heart, and said: "Uncle, wronged, when my nephew received the anonymous report letter, he had already set off as soon as possible, but who knew that it was still a step slower to hurry." When they arrived at Xiantan Village, the people of Putian County had already controlled the scene. It's a great luck that my nephew was able to snatch that liar from them who pretended to be a relative of the government lord! ”
After that, I also weakly added in my heart, compared with the straight knife and corner bow in the hands of the Putian County Ya Catcher, are those sticks in our hands just burning sticks?
There is a way to know that the son is not as good as the father, and the nephew is Uncle Mo Ruo, how can Song Wen not be clear about Song Genhai's careful thoughts?
In terms of merit, Mei Ji naturally does not compare to the weight of a liar who pretends to be the wife and brother of the government to join the army. The record of the government joined the army, Lord Shen, Song Wen knew, and said that he even had to pay tribute to the people of Dongwenghu County. If this liar is used to sell Shen to join the army, then Dong Weng will have to earn the favor of adults in Lord Shen.
But his nephew doesn't know the real relationship between Mei Ji and himself, and it's not as simple as a righteous daughter. Thinking about Mei Ji's waves on the bed, and the amorous style when she was with her at night, Song Wen's heart was itchy again.
It would be a pity if it was caught like this. But he is just a Qingyuan household Cao official, and he doesn't have such a big face at all to let the Putian County Ya release people. Not to mention that he is in front of the six-grade Putian County Order, even in front of He Xu, the Governor of Putian County, he is not enough.
After a period of confusion, he stared at Song Genhai and asked, "You said that the person you caught was a liar pretending to be Lord Shen's wife and brother?" ”
Song Genhai snorted, nodded, and said, "It must be, that's what the anonymous report letter says." ”
Song Wen was still a little uneasy, and asked again: "Are you sure?" ”
"It's like a fake!"
Song Genhai gritted his teeth, nodded again, and said, "And when I was in Xiantan Village, the head catcher in Putian County almost started a force with me in order to bring this person back to Putian County. If it weren't for the fact that the county lieutenant of their family wanted to take down this liar and marry a good record to join the army, why would they have to mobilize the people so much, and they would not hesitate to draw their swords against me, with a posture of ambition? ”
Song Wen didn't come to the scene in person, but when he heard Song Genhai say this, he also agreed a little, bowed slightly, and said, "According to what you say, this is indeed the case." ”
After that, Song Wen had a little more luck in his heart, and secretly said, it seems that there is still room for maneuver in Mei Ji's matter.
Because he knows Dong Weng Hu Zeyi's temperament very well, as long as he uses the matter of Lin Sanlang pretending to be a relative of Lord Shen to ask Hu Xianling for credit, the other party will be happy. For Dong Weng, it is a great achievement to be able to have a good relationship with the adults who have joined the army to see the record.
At that time, as long as Dong Weng is happy, then it must not be difficult for him to come forward to ask someone from the Putian County Ya. And Mei Ji only participated in the counterfeiting case, but not to death, and he is from Qingyuan County, Dong Weng Ken opened his mouth to the Putian County Ya, and believed that the Putian County Ya would definitely sell this favor to Hu County.
To be honest, whether it is Mei Ji's silver or Mei Ji's body, Song Wen is reluctant to do anything.
After a little combing, Song Wen's messy clues became clearer, and his mood improved a lot.
Immediately, he patted Song Genhai on the shoulder, and rarely praised: "You did a good job in Xiantan Village. Finally growing, my uncle is very pleased! I'll go to the county office to find Dong Weng first, and you stay in the house, and stay here for dinner!" ”
If it is placed in normal times, Song Wen rarely praises his uncompetitive nephew, let alone let him stay at home for dinner. Today is finally a rare one.
However, whether it is praise or staying for dinner, it is not what he wants, because these are not the focus of the first time he rushed to report!
The point is, since you have come to invite merit, what about the reward???
He watched his uncle go out of the flower hall as soon as he lifted his robe and legs, and was about to run to find the county magistrate, but he put aside the most important thing, and couldn't help but say depressedly: "Mother, I made a package ticket with the brothers and asked for merit and rewards for the big guy, and my uncle won't go to the county magistrate to invite merit and reward by himself, right?" Well, my uncle can do this! ”
……
Chongwenfang, where Song Wen's mansion is located, is very close to the county government, and about 100 steps to the left is the Qingyuan county office.
Song Wen soon arrived outside the county office, and as soon as he entered the gate of the county office, he collided with someone, and was about to open his mouth to scold and look up, but saw that it was the old servant of the Hu County Ling family.
"Ah, it's Song Hucao, the old slave almost fell apart!" Hu Zeyi's old servant and Song Wen have known each other for many years, and since Song Wen became Hu Zeyi's staff, this old servant has been serving Hu Zeyi's daily life and eating by his side, and has won Hu Zeyi's trust. Changed to an ordinary petty servant, Song Wen would have already been reprimanded.
Song Wen also rubbed his chest that was a little painful, and asked with a smile: "You are in such a hurry, why are you in such a hurry?" By the way, can Dong Weng be in the inner house? ”
The old servant said: "Here, there is a guest at home today, no, the master asked me to go to the Drunken Immortal Building to book a private room, saying that he wanted to entertain this distinguished guest later!" ”
Oh?
Song Wen was slightly surprised, what kind of guest could make Hu Zeyi so grand? actually had to be specially entertained in the Drunken Immortal Building. So he asked the old servant.
"Well, it is said that he is an official from Chang'an, and it is said that he is still the same year as the master!" The old servant said.
The same year as his own Dong Weng?
In the same year, it is the same list, and the meaning of the same year.
Or an official from Chang'an?
Song Wen raised his eyebrows, he knew that Hu Zeyi was a jinshi in the last years of Gaozong Xianqing, and this qualification was already in the same year that he was an official in Chang'an, which showed that his rank was only higher than Hu Zeyi. Being able to come all the way from Chang'an to visit Hu Zeyi shows that the friendship is not shallow. No wonder Hu Zeyi entertained the other party so grandly.
Immediately, he asked in a low voice: "What, this Dong Weng from the same year came all the way to visit Dong Weng, could it be something big?" ”
The old servant said: "I didn't hear it clearly, but it seems to mean that the Mulan Spring Wine of Cui's Wine Workshop in our county was selected as the royal tribute wine." Dong Weng seemed to be very happy, no, he hurriedly sent the old slave to the Drunken Immortal Building to set up a banquet...... Okay, let's stop chattering with you, I'll go on an errand first! ”
Song Wen had fallen into a state of stupor at this time, and he didn't even bother to say hello when the old servant left.
Soon, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha, keep the clouds open and see the moon, I Song Wen has been boiling for so many years, and I finally waited for the opportunity!" Mulan spring wine was selected as the royal tribute wine, haha, it was done, and the variegated entry into the stream was done, hahahaha...... Qingyuan County Lieutenant... Song County Lieutenant!! ”
After laughing, Song Wen didn't care about his manners, hurriedly ran into the county office, and went straight to Hu Zeyi's inner house.
……
……
At the same time, the Drunken Immortal Building.
is still a Tianzi private room, or Cui Geng and Cao Yuechan.
It was Cao Yuechan who arrived here one step ahead of Cui Geng.
As soon as Cui Geng came in, he sat down and asked directly, "Miss Yuechan, why are you in such a hurry to send someone to invite me here?" ”
Speaking of this, Cui Geng remembered the scene where the two met for the first time here a few years ago, and teased: "You won't invite me to see your reconciliation again, right?" ”
However, Cao Yuechan didn't care about his ridicule, but went straight to the point, and said directly: "I promised you the last time I joined forces with the silver number!" I invite you to come here today to discuss the details of cooperation. ”
Rise?
Cui Geng was stunned for a moment, and said in some surprise: "Agreed so quickly?" Could it be that Miss Yuechan knew that I had solved the matter of cottage wine in Xiantan Village this morning, and felt that Cui's efficiency was too high, and that it was too difficult for a partner like me to be early? ”
As he spoke, he was in a good mood after solving the problem of cottage drinking, and he habitually began to play tricks again.
Who knew that Cao Yuechan actually did not sarcastically deny his poor mouth, but nodded unprecedentedly, and said: "That's right, I have heard a little about the fake wine in Xiantan Village, and I still praise Cui Shaodong's skills." However, Miss Ben is able to admit to you so happily not because of this matter, but also because I received a rumor an hour ago. Of course, for your Cui family, it is a great thing! ”
"Oh?"
Cui Geng saw that Cao Yuechan was getting more and more serious, and he also put away his playful attitude, sat up in a precarious position, and asked, "What is the rumor?" ”
Cao Yuechan said: "Congratulations, your family's Mulan Spring Wine has been approved by the imperial court and has officially become one of the imperial imperial wines, ranking ninth among the imperial tribute wines of the Tang Dynasty!" Since then, there has been one more of the eight royal tribute wine merchants! ”
"What? This is... It's true? Cui Geng didn't have time to digest this good news for a while, and wondered, "This Dong County Cheng hasn't sent me a message yet, will this news be ......?"
Cao Yuechan said again: "The news can't be fake, it came from the mouth of our Cao family's friends who served as a secretary in the Quanzhou Mansion. He sent a message saying that early this morning, Dong Xiancheng arrived at Quanzhou Mansion with the imperial court honor guard who was responsible for delivering the decree and giving the plaque. It is estimated that I will stay at the post house in Quanzhou Mansion today, and I will leave for Qingyuan County tomorrow. At the same time, there are also several adults from the Quanzhou Mansion, who will also come to Qingyuan County in person! As for why Dong Xiancheng didn't send you a message as soon as possible, he should want to surprise you, right? ”
Speaking of this, Cao Yuechan got up slowly, looked at Cui Geng with rare appreciation, and said: "You really surprised me, you made Mulan Spring Wine famous in a short period of time, rebuilt Cui's Wine Workshop, and successfully made Mulan Spring Wine a royal tribute wine!" Not only have you reinstated your family business, but you have also brought your Cui's Distillery to a glory that was unattainable in the past! So, I have reason to believe that it would be a wise move to work with you on the Silver Horn! ”
Cui Geng was silent for a moment, and after digesting the sudden good news, he slowly looked up at Cao Yuechan, who was beautiful and vulgar, but Cao Yuechan, who had an uncontrollable aura of a strong woman in the shopping mall, was slightly moved, and couldn't help blurting out: "Qingben is a tender daughter, but why is she a man in a war horse?" ”
When Cao Yuechan heard this, her slender body trembled suddenly, but she quickly regained her composure, frowned, and replied in an incompromising tone: "Cui Shaodong, it's okay to talk about business!" As for the rest, no need to talk! ”
Well, Cui Shaodong's first confession, failed!
Cui Geng touched his nose with a smile and said, "Uh...... Continue to talk about business and cooperation! ”
