Chapter 5 Understanding

Seeing an outsider coming, Lu Shi didn't know what to call him, but just stood up politely and nodded to the man as a courtesy.

When Zhang Laoshi saw the person coming, he smiled happily and asked the guest to make a fool of himself, and joked without saying goodbye: "Okay, you brother, I haven't come for a long time, but I'm making fun of my brother here. Isn't this a villain complaining first or something? At this time, he came with a dog nose. Since he smelled the smell, he wouldn't come and eat together?"

At this time, the little girl who was hiding behind her mother cheered and flew over like a butterfly. A man suddenly plunged into the man like an iron tower. The man threw down the things in his hand, picked up the little girl and held it in the air, raised her face, and smiled happily, "I haven't seen you for two days, I want my goddaughter to die. Come on, kiss me one of my godfather."

Xiao Ya giggled and kissed the man hard on the face. At this moment, the little girl regained the innocence and liveliness that the little girl should have.

After the father and daughter laughed and made a fuss, Xiao Ya proudly handed the leftover chicken leg bone to the man's mouth, and said happily in a tender voice: "Godfather, I still keep chicken leg for you, just wait for you to come, eat, eat quickly." Xiao looked proud.

The man bit the whole bone in his mouth in one bite, chewing it, and said vaguely: "Goddaughter is so filial and fragrant."

Xiao Ya giggled even more happily, looking satisfied.

Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron and went forward, "Brother, don't blame your brother for not calling you. I heard that you had done a job early in the morning, but I thought that I couldn't separate myself. The guests at home didn't dare to call you as a companion, for fear of delaying the official's dispatch, and I was blamed for causing trouble for you for no reason. Your brothers have been together for many years, and they also know the other party's temper. What else can I get picky about? Come on, hurry up and sit down to have a meal." While saying that, I asked several children to bring a stool to the man and brought the bowls and chopsticks.

Several boys called him uncle while bringing him a stool. It seemed that no one was too familiar with him.

When the man heard a guest, he quickly put down Xiao Ya, bent down and walked into the room. He swept his eyes and saw a short hair and tall Lu Shi standing there. Although his clothes were tattered, he did not show any desolation. He just held his hands in front of him with a refreshing smile, looked at himself with a calm smile, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him, "But I don't know which master from the temple came to my brother's house. I, Zhao Dahai, have politeness here." Then he clasped his fists and bowed deeply, without any pretentiousness.

When he heard the sound, he knew that Zhao Dahai was a straight man. Lu Shi hurriedly stepped forward and replied with a smile: "I dare not be a master. I used to make a living in Buddhism. The rules and regulations were too rigid. I couldn't stand the temptation of this colorful world. I left the Buddha down the mountain, but now I don't care about drinking and meat. I ran to the Zhang brother's house for dinner, laughing at me."

A plain sentence brought everyone's heart closer. Zhao Dahai was stunned when he heard it, and then laughed: "You monk is really a monk, and you are very interested in my heart, Zhao Dahai's spleen and stomach. Come on, I don't know if the monk may be wine or meat?"

"Yes." Lu Shi also liked it, so he did not shirk off his pretentiousness and answered with ease.

"Hahahaha, let's have a good time to drink it together because you gave me the chicken legs." As he said that, he took out a paper bag from his waist and collapsed on the table. He opened it and it was indeed half a sauce-fried pig's trotter, and then he took out a mud jar from behind and put it on the table.

Zhang Laoshi quickly drove away the child whose eyes were tied up by pig's trotters and hair. He called his wife and found a few thick bowls. Zhao Dahai patted the mud seal. Lu Shi was also a wine man in his previous life. He smelled it and knew it was good or bad. He praised the good wine. Zhao Dahai was even more proud of it. He picked up the wine jar, and everyone's bowls were full. Without saying much, he stood up to meet Lu Shi and drank it in one gulp.

Lu Shi was not polite, he was completely clean.

"Okay, happy, people like brothers should have returned to secular life long ago. How can we suffer in that small temple?" Zhao Dahai patted Lu Shi's shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhao Dahai's hand was very strong. Lu Shi endured the enthusiastic slap, but it did hurt, so he had to grit his teeth and smile without saying a word.

Everyone officially sat down. Zhao Dahai held the little girl on her legs and hugged her in her arms. He reached out and pulled another chicken leg to give it to the child. The little girl had the power to take advantage of her godfather and ate it carefully.

At this time, Lu Shicai looked at the man carefully. Seeing that Zhao Dahai was 1.9 meters tall, he was considered an alien in this era. He was strong and wore a white postman's costume. He had a wide-brimmed felt hat on his head, and a big eyebrows and big eyes. He let his goddaughter hide directly. However, he was careful in the thick and rich, and he also deliberately or unintentionally avoided his goddaughter's little face, for fear of being thorny to the child. When he looked back at his daughter, he looked full of love and tenderness.

At this time, the aunt Zhang Jiapo stepped forward to thank Zhao Dahai and said, "Come on, it's a waste of money every time. Wouldn't you take your brother and sister-in-law as the boss?"

Lu Shi glanced at him and saw that the man threw the things on the ground were half a small bag of food, about twenty pounds, which was a valuable gift at this time.

"My sister-in-law is so careful. Today, the official came to the post station. I am quite satisfied with the reception. The rest of the rest, I am a single man, always go to my brother and sister-in-law's house to eat and drink. Keeping the rest is cheaper for those mice. It's better to fill the children's stomachs. Alas—After some hospitality, I don't care about the families."

Lu Shi knew that in the Ming Dynasty, although the post station was a public office, in terms of rank, it was less than the ninth rank, and it was not as high as the rank, and it was also not in line with the current officials. It was bullied by people. Therefore, no one was willing to manage the post station. However, the Ming Court stipulated that the post station was managed by the local government, which was to manage the food, drink, defecation, and sleep of officials at all levels, but the cost was borne by the attorney. Because the local government in the Ming Dynasty did not have this money and grain funding, the required fees had to be solved by themselves, but the post station was still rich, because after all, it was an official hospitality place, and the person on the upstream could not be received or was not well received. After all, it was the local officials who were at a disadvantage. If a big man was not well received, an unhappy person might also cut off the future of the local officials. Therefore, the amount of money spent on the post station every year was also a lot of money.

Not only that, local stations have an advantage, not only are they rich, but also - levy.

As long as you have reception tasks and names, you can force the people to contribute money and work. If you come from the superiors, you will naturally not pay to invite people to dinner, so you will find the people to stand. If you have money, you will pay, and you will not have money? It doesn’t matter. You must believe that as long as you are a human, it will be useful. You can do any porter or sedan chair.

In fact, according to regulations, if past officials want to use the station, they must be official and can be presented with the right performance, otherwise they shall not be used casually.

However, there are policies and countermeasures at the top, and there are ways to eat and drink for nothing anyway.

There were not many people in the Diaopingshan Post Station, so Zhaotou and three post station patrols were invited to entertain merchants and stayed in a room and helped to get some small money for food. In addition to giving the filial piety to the superior, he could also give a few big money. Zhaotou was not too stingy, but he usually gave everyone a few pennies, which was considered a helping hand when there was no food and salary.

If someone comes to the top, you can also pay some extra money.

One was rough and the other was deliberate, so after a while, Lu Shi talked with Zhao Dahai in an extremely speculative manner. He laughed for a while, but he forgot the initial depression.

Seeing that everyone was talking about the speculation, Zhang Houshi stood up and formally introduced his good brother to Lu Shi.

The postmaster Zhao Dahai, the postmaster of Yulin, was the one from Yulin Mansion who defeated Xiaoyin to inherit the title of the 100 households of the ancestral garrison. However, the current ones are no longer different from the time of Hongwu Ye. There is no money or grain distribution. It has become a real name for a false job. It is just a fool. Now he is just a job as a postmaster. After both of his parents died, he is left with only one person. The house has no tiles and no ridges of land. He is still single. Some people of good deeds have introduced a few women to him. However, he is used to cumin and does not want to marry again. He lives in the backyard of the postmaster and truly regards the unit as his home.

The station usually requires carpenters to repair and repair, so after a while, I met Zhang Laoshi, Zhang Laoshi and kind, and had a good look of a brother. The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family is enthusiastic and often squeeze and wash Zhao Dahai. So Zhao Dahai comes to Zhang's house from time to time for dinner and recognizes Zhang Laoshi's little girl, but he doesn't have to wait empty-handed every time he comes to eat, and he brings some things to help the Zhang family.

However, Zhao Dahai was very good at using a flower gun, and he was eager to be righteous. He often contradicted his superiors and stood up for the villagers in the countryside. He was very reluctant to like it. It was just that there were rumors that there were many contacts with the nearby several kanzis, so the county and the township had no choice but to do anything about him. However, for this reason, kanzi did not come to the village to plunder, which was a return to peace in the countryside.

After Zhao Dahai finally introduced himself, he looked at Lu Shi. Lu Shi just smiled and said, "Brother, don't look at me. I'm just a monk who threw away his certificate and went down the mountain privately. I'm not going to be lonely." This is not Lu Shi concealed it, but the encounter is too bizarre. If you really say that you are a time traveler who can't go on the future, it will definitely be counterproductive. You are either beaten out as a madman, or you think that you are too fake and dishonest and cannot be dated. It's better to hide your shortcomings like this, and it will be more straightforward.

Zhao Dahai was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "Okay, I'm also a cheerful person. I won't ask anymore. Just drink and eat meat. Come on, boys, don't you have much food, and you won't be on the table to satisfy your cravings? After a while, the little girl will eat it all."

So a group of boys shouted and rushed up, and there was a war on the table.
