In Chaoge City, lanterns were decorated, and busy humans hung peach charms to ward off evil spirits in front of the door to seek good luck.
At the end of the year, every family is busy, every household has a surplus of food, and there are many rewards from the nobles. For a while, the people all think of the king's good deeds.
Jiang Shang in the fortune-telling parlor also closed down his stall early. As soon as he entered his house, he saw his elder brother Song Yiren who had come to deliver New Year's goods.
Song Yiren, who is now working in Yang Ren's house, has become more and more like a doctor now that he has an official status.
Jiang Shang politely took the grains, some mutton and pork, and chatted with Song Yiren for a while, before Song Yiren left.
Jiang Shang became a laughing stock in Chaoge City because of his marriage dispute with Mr. Ma. He could not leave or enter. For a while, people forgot about this incident.
"Jiang Shangke was at home!"
As soon as Song Yiren was sent away, Jiang Shang heard a familiar voice. When Jiang Shang opened the door, he saw that it was Xia Zhao, the lower-ranking official of Prime Minister Bigan's Mansion.
After the two parties met, they realized that Bi Gan was thinking of Jiang Shang and wanted to recruit him as a minister. However, it would take some time for him to become a high official.
Perhaps because he was heartbroken, Jiang Shang did not accept this job and shied away, so Xia Zhao could only leave in anger.
But before leaving, Xia Zhao put a box of tea leaves in front of the table and said, "You have a plan for governing the country. Compared with you, I am like a fluorescent light. If you continue to be decadent, even if you are compared to me, you will be like a fluorescent lamp."
You will also be disappointed.”
Jiang Shanggong cupped his hand and didn't say much, but he accepted the tea leaves.
This tea is a rare product in the palace, even if there is not much available from Yabi Qian, this box shows his care.
…
On the other side, an uninvited guest came to Su Hu's house.
"Doctor Su, Pindao's official status..."
"Mr. Shen, if you want to be a general, you can go to Xiao'er. But I want to be a doctor. Please forgive Su for being unable to do anything."
The person who came was none other than Shen Gongbao, who came to sue for an official position.
Su Hu was in trouble. He naturally knew that Shen Gongbao was extraordinary and had helped Jizhou many years ago, but now he was just a pigherder. Although he was appreciated by the king, he was ultimately a loser.
Now that both father and son are trapped in Chaoge City, how can they return to Jizhou?
"Don't disturb Dr. Su. I can protect the doctor from returning to Jizhou, but..."
Su Hu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "If you can allow me and my son to return to Jizhou, you will be Jizhou's great benefactor."
Shen Gongbao laughed and said, "You only need to do this, this, and this."
While whispering, Su Hu was a little confused, "That's it? Can the two of us return to Jizhou?"
"nature!"
Shen Gongbao definitely provided guarantee, which made Su Hu a little confused, but he still issued such an order.
So Chaoge City, a large herd of groaning pigs, was sent directly over.
These pigs are fat and strong, and they are usually Su Hu's treasures. Even if he is a human king, if he wants to take a bite, Su Hu feels distressed for a long time.
But in order to return to Jizhou, Su Hu also worked hard. However, according to their official positions, doctors, big and small, all received New Year's gifts from Su Hu.
Especially the important officials in the court, Shang Rong, Bigan, and Huang Feihu, all had dozens of pigs in their homes. This made the important officials in the court confused, but Su Hu made a fortune raising pigs.
It's just that when Su escorted the pigs, one family was left behind.
And this family is the palace. Yes, Su Hu is about to walk around Chaoge City. Such a costly gift, but the Wang family from the palace is left behind.
The government affairs stopped early, and Di Xin, who had a rare leisure time, also had a complete sleep. He was really tired over the past year.
"King!!"
An attendant disturbed Di Xin's dream. Di Xin was a little unhappy. He half-opened his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"
After that, the attendant told the story about Su Hu sending pigs all over the city, and the attendant vividly said that each of the three important ministers in the court had dozens of pigs.
"Hmm? Is Su Hu rich? How much will he give to Gu?"
Considering Su Hu's hard work over the past year, maybe the pigs were raised well.
"Reply to the king, I didn't send it!"
"Um?"
Di Xin suddenly woke up and said fiercely, "Not even one was sent?"
"Not a single one was delivered!"
"Bold!!"
Di Xin suddenly stood up and cursed, "On weekdays, I want to come all the way, but I push back and forth. I said it was raised during the New Year, and it is not suitable for consumption now. What is Su Hu going to do? Come on!!
The guard is calling!!”
…
After a while, Su Hu was full of stench. It was obvious that half of the gift had been given. Di Xin, who got the news, invited him over.
"Your Majesty, Su Hu, pays homage to the King!"
Di Xin looked at Su Hu, who smelled like pork, and frowned.
"Su Hu, I heard that you sent most of the pork to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Why didn't you pay tribute here?"
When Su Hu heard Di Xin scolding him, he was not panicked at all, but felt very relaxed.
"The king is a wise king who cultivates virtue and is the wise master of Chaoge. The king's thoughts are all for the overall consideration of the human race. That's why he asked his ministers to raise pigs. Now that the pigs have been raised, the civil and military officials of the dynasty should
I understand Your Majesty’s generous heart, and by giving away the pig this time, I am also acting according to Your Majesty’s will, and it is definitely not the result of my own selfish desires.”
"Um?"
Su Hu spoke conclusively. He first praised Di Xin highly, and then acted according to his will. He completely shied away from the matter of giving away pigs, and made Di Xin, a mute, eat Coptis chinensis, which made him feel unspeakable pain.
.
"How many more do you have in your hand now?"
"Go back to your Majesty, there's not even one left."
"There's not one left?"
"No more, here's the gift list!"
Di Xin looked at the long list of gifts. Even Jiang Shang who went to the field had twenty kilograms of pork, but Di Xin didn't even come in.
"You! Su Hu! You are so brave!"
Su Hu listened to the furious Di Xin's voice and just lowered his head in a respectful manner. As for the rest, he didn't show a trace of his intentions.
Di Xin was like hitting a marshmallow, with a completely hard fist that couldn't help the feeling.
A feeling of boredom arose spontaneously.
Di Xin now hates him very much, never wants to see him again, and tells him to stay away.
Just when he was about to give the order for Su Hu to go back to Jizhou, he was upset.
[Activate without desires and demands! Avoid emotional harm!]
"Um?"
At this time, Di Xin's divine light flashed, his mood returned to normal instantly, and a black energy floated over Su Hu's head.
The black energy that entered Di Xin's body was directly dissipated without desire or desire.
"Su Hu, who gave you the idea?"
Su Hu did not dare to say anything, but lowered his head very low, and a drop of sweat fell to the ground. It was obvious that Su Hu was very nervous.
"It must be Shen Gongbao."
When Di Xin saw that Su Hu was silent, he directly said his name. Su Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and it was obvious that Di Xin guessed it correctly.
"You're eloquent! Use whatever means necessary! Haha, I really want to see him this time."
"Here comes! Please apply for Gongbao!"
Su Hu was even more frightened, and the Taoist King's order was immediately sent out.
