After rushing for days, Li Luo felt a little tired for some reason, and then slowed down. Along the way, he picked up some famous mountains and waters, and spent some time touring with his generals. Emperor Wanlong did not
Li Luo was strictly ordered to rush back to Zhuocheng by a certain date. Li Luo felt at ease and stayed for a few days.?? Bi Quge?? w?w?w?.

One day, everyone entered the territory of Qiquan Mansion. Qiquan Mansion became famous for its seven spring pools, and it was not well-known among Dagan.
Li Luo originally wanted to choose a place to take a look, but when he entered the city, he saw that all the shops on the street were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the residents were all beaming with joy, as if there was some happy event.
Yun Wuyan was startled, and after a moment of calculation, he said in surprise: "General, there shouldn't be any big festivals at this time, so why are there so many lights and colorful decorations here?"
Li Luo was also puzzled. Zhu Zhi dismounted and walked into a shop. After a while, he walked out quickly with a strange look on his face and said: "General, General Yun, this is not a festival. This is Qiquan."
The day when the prefect marries his daughter."
Yun Wuyan's eyes turned cold and he said: "A mere married daughter of a magistrate needs such a big pomp."
Zhu Zhi pursed his lips, glanced at Li Luo, and said nothing.
Yun Wuyan glanced at Zhu Zhi and asked, "Is there something else hidden?"
Li Luo nodded and said sadly: "It's not what General Yun thought. This Qiquan Prefecture magistrate loves the people like a son and is very loved by the people. It seems that they celebrated on their own."
Yun Wuyan said "oh" and suddenly remembered the rumors in the army that back then in Quanzhou, Li Luo had donated general grain to a prefect, and it seemed that it must be Qiquan Prefecture.
Li Luo took a long breath and said, "General Yun, let's go and take a look. It's hard to find such a parent-general in Da Gan."
Yun Wuyan responded and said, "Do you want to inform them?"
"No need, we are just going to take a look, don't disturb them, Ni Qing, Zhu Zhi, you two and the lieutenants of the army are waiting for us outside the city. After meeting, we will leave Qiquan Mansion."
"Follow the order." Ni Qing and Zhu Zhi bowed and led the rest of the Sirius Cavalry through the crowd and walked out of the city. The generals were all in casual clothes. When others saw them, they just thought they were wealthy people or wealthy people from somewhere.
He is a businessman, not very eye-catching.
Li Luo and others dismounted and asked as they walked. When passers-by heard that they were going to congratulate the prefect, they all enthusiastically pointed the way.
After walking forward for a few moments, we arrived at the entrance of the government office. Ou Qinghan was hosting a banquet in the back office. The front door was still functioning as a director, but there were also many people gathered in front of the main entrance. They were all in a happy mood, and they were talking loudly together.
.
After turning around the main entrance, Li Luo and others realized why there were so many people waiting at the main entrance. However, the back house was already overcrowded. There was no room for so many banquets in the house. The streets were filled with folks from the countryside who came to congratulate them. Some people
Simply prepare the tables and chairs by yourself, without having to be greeted by the master of the house, call your relatives and friends, and sit down together to chat and laugh.
What's more, he actually brought wine and food, and started drinking by himself without waiting for the magistrate to open the banquet.
From time to time I saw several disciples in wedding clothes walking among the crowd, apologizing to each other. Everyone was kind, and no one was dissatisfied. They thanked me repeatedly and greeted me with the words of Master Shifu. I knew that I was too busy today, but I didn't want to leave.
, stay here to celebrate.
Li Luo originally intended to leave with some congratulatory gifts, but unexpectedly, the people giving congratulatory gifts lined up in a long queue. Li Luo and Yun Wuyan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. In desperation, they had no choice but to queue at the end of the queue. Ou Qinghan's popularity could be seen in the people's hearts.
A spot.
While Li Luo was waiting, wine and food were brought from the nearby inn and restaurant to help everyone in the house greet the folks who came to congratulate them. Everyone in the house did not bother others to respond and took care of it themselves, making it a grand event loved by the officials and the people.
Several people came out of the mansion, who seemed to be Ou Qinghan's direct relatives. They bowed repeatedly and thanked loudly. Finally, they asked the waiter in the mansion to write down the drinks sent by the restaurant. However, people came and went, and everyone in the place just laughed and asked.
For a long time, the waiter couldn't figure out whether the drinks on the table were brought by someone else, so he was running around anxiously.
Yun Wuyan let out a long sigh and said, "General Mo has never thought that there is such a good official in Da Gan."
Li Luo responded and continued: "It is precisely because of officials and people like this that our officers and men are worthy of their blood on the battlefield."
Yun Wuyan nodded, Qiyan smiled and said: "General, we are close to Zhuocheng."
Li Luo understood what Yun Wuyan meant. When soldiers fight on the battlefield, they should serve the country. Few people dare to be so uncompromising and bluntly say that they only fight for the people.
After more than half an hour, it was the turn of Li Luo and others. Li Luo took out the silver from his pocket and took out a neater piece, about five taels, handed it over, cupped his fists and saluted, "Congratulations to the magistrate on your happy event.
"
The guest who welcomed the ceremony stood up and returned the salute, saying with a joyful face: "I am delighted that you all have come from afar, and the house did not greet you well, so please let me know."
Li Luo smiled slightly and said, "I'm serious. Being able to see such a grand event makes my trip here worthwhile."
The doorman asked in surprise: "Aren't you from Qiquan Mansion?"
"Why, people who are not from Qiquan Mansion can't come to congratulate the prefect?" Yun Wuyan said with a smile when he heard this.
The guest quickly replied: "I'm offended, I'm offended, no, I just said it casually."
Yun Wuyan laughed and said: "Excuse me for being presumptuous, please don't be offended, Your Excellency, the prefect has a reputation far and wide. A few of us passed by this place and came here because of his fame."
The guest was stunned, looked at the silver coins that Li Luo put down, and said with a smile: "Since we are friends from a foreign country, please sit inside. No need for gifts. You have come thousands of miles away. We are grateful for this kind hospitality. Please come and sit inside."
"After that, he invited Li Luo and others to come in.
Li Luo smiled softly and said: "I have met the magistrate once. The gift is our intention and it is not too much. You can accept it. I also know that the magistrate is an upright official. Don't worry. The magistrate will not
I'll blame you."
The guest was stunned for a moment, but Li Luo was very popular, and he could tell at a glance that he was either rich or noble, so he had no choice but to nod his head, thank him, and was about to place his name on the gift book. Then he looked at Li Luo with a troubled expression and said:
"Young Master, please forgive me. Your Majesty has said that the congratulatory gifts should not be more than one tael at most. The Young Master's congratulatory gifts are too much."
Chi Li was very surprised and said with a smile: "Not many. There are seven of us. We only have five taels of silver here, which is less than one tael per person."
The guest also smiled and said: "I have thanked you all for your kindness. We have come together, and a congratulatory gift is enough. As long as we have this friendship, the prefect will be satisfied."
Li Luo saw that many people had gathered behind him waiting for gifts, so he didn't say much, exchanged a piece of silver for one tael, handed it over, and said, "It's up to you."
The retainer thanked him profusely, as if Li Luo had given him a lot of respect. Yun Wuyan and other generals were quite touched. It was unheard of to be an official like this. (To be continued.)
