When the official ship arrived at the ferry, the magistrate of Dongcang County, who was standing on the shore, had already come forward to greet him. He led many prominent figures in Dongcang County behind him to greet him and said: "The magistrate of Dongcang County led all the officials in the county to pay homage to your Excellency." , Your Excellency has been traveling all the way, and I have already prepared a few drinks in my humble abode to help you catch the wind and wash away the dust."
Meng Xinghe stepped off the deck of the official ship, "Master Bai, there is no need to be polite,"
Bai Kui took a closer look and didn't expect that the inspection ambassador sent by the imperial court was so young this time. He didn't dare to be careless and said: "Shuang'er, why don't you hurry up and have the carriage come to greet you?"
Bai Ningshuang, who was a little distracted, suddenly came back to her senses: "I know, Dad," she promised, but in her heart she wondered why the officials sent by the imperial court were so young. They were so different from the previous Minister of Rites, and she didn't know For some reason, from the moment Meng Xinghe stepped off the boat, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"Your Majesty, please," the carriage arrived. Miss Bai took a close look at Meng Xinghe. Compared with the handsome and talented scholars in Dongcang County that she usually saw, the young official in front of her was always a little bit different. His attractiveness fascinates women, and since he has become a high-ranking official in the court at such a young age, he is extremely effective in attracting their attention, not to mention the women in the world.
Meng Xinghe had his own mount, which he put on the second boat. Hei Feng brought him from Chang'an. As for the carriage prepared by Master Bai, Meng Xinghe didn't sit on it so pretentiously, facing the invitation of such a beautiful lady like Miss Bai. , Meng Xinghe couldn't find the right words to refuse. Just at this moment, Mengdie and Aunt Yun came over. He smiled and said: "I say, two Bodhisattvas, just walk faster. The carriage is for you." You are ready, do you think you need me to send you up in person?"
The two family members glared at Meng Xinghe at the same time and boarded the carriage with resentment.
Miss Bai still doesn't know what the relationship between these two people is with Meng Xinghe, but judging from his tone, they must have an unusual relationship. She knows that ministers from the DPRK often visit Jiangdu with their families. It seems that this adult is also clichéd and treats Meng Xinghe in a clichéd way. The good impression Xinghe had just established suddenly collapsed. Miss Bai inevitably spoke in a serious tone, "Why don't you get on the carriage, sir?"
"Oh, no, I'm more interested in horse riding," Meng Xinghe said calmly, already turning over and riding on Heifeng's back.
In Dongcang County, no one has ever rejected her Bai Ningshuang. The first time she was betrayed was not a good feeling. Miss Bai also got angry and wanted to punish Meng Xinghe, but Master Bai on the side was afraid of her The daughter broke up something big and skillfully smoothed things over, saying: "Shuang'er, go and see if the adults need anything else. Send two people to help. Dad will take the adults back to the county office first."
Master Bai's eyes were filled with the word "forbearance". Miss Bai nodded silently and rode behind everyone.
"Brother Guinian, this girl is good. In the words of the third brother, she is on point. The places that should be convex are amazingly convex, and the places that should be concave are so charming." Looking at Miss Bai walking towards them, Chai Shaohe Wang Guinian met each other and whispered to each other.
"Brother Chai, what are you talking about? It's so vulgar," Luo Feng and Xue Rengui also wanted to join in the fun.
"Go, go, go. Children don't know much about adult matters. Go get the horse and send two people to guard it on the boat. I will take you to have a drink later," Mr. Chai taught the two children seriously. Zaizi saluted Miss Bai again and said, "Our people are here to handle it, so I don't need to worry about it, Miss Bai."
Mr. Chai confidently touched his stylishly styled hair, showed his snow-white teeth humbly, squinted his eyes and smiled, looking quite honest. He believed that this trick had killed all the young ladies from all the brothels in the north and south. The courtesan's signature move could at least win a kind word of gratitude from Miss Bai, but it backfired. Miss Bai calmly gave the narcissistic Mr. Chai a roll of her eyes and immediately rode away unceremoniously.
Damn it, this little girl is so unscrupulous, she wasted the uncle's electric eye, Chai Shao smashed the spit on the ground, and rushed forward on a mixed-haired horse without grace, leaving a series of ridiculing sounds behind her.
The ferry in Dongcang County is some distance away from the county government office. On the way, Magistrate Bai politely introduced to Meng Xinghe the overall people's livelihood situation in Dongcang County. The county has a population of 3,000 households, nearly 10,000 acres of arable land, and 500 livestock. There were three hundred soldiers serving in the government office. Because it was located on the main waterway of north-south water transportation, shipping and fishing were relatively prosperous, and it could pay tens of thousands of silver coins in taxes to the court every year.
Generally speaking, the political performance of Dongcang County is pretty good among the counties in the Tang Dynasty. However, when Meng Xinghe first arrived, he had no intention of reviewing the political performance of Dongcang County. He only stayed here for one night. Depart tomorrow morning and go directly to Dongdu.
"In front of you is the county government office. The lower official has already asked people to pack up the upper room for you to move in." Pointing to a decent county government office in front of you, Mr. Bai personally led the way.
I got off my horse and arrived in front of the county government office. There were already soldiers standing on both sides. They blocked the civilians who came to watch and did not allow them to get close. The noise was like thunder and thunder, which was quite lively.
Afraid of causing trouble due to the large number of people and worried about Master Meng's comfort, Master Bai immediately welcomed Meng Xinghe into the county government office and said, "Sir, please come in."
Meng Xinghe had never seen such a lively welcome ceremony, but he was not too arrogant and led his subordinates into the county government office under the leadership of Master Bai.
The county government had already prepared meals for Jie Feng Xi Chen. Lord Bai was the host. Meng Xinghe and others were not polite and had lunch first, and then arranged their respective residences.
Meng Xinghe's wing is in the east wing, where guests of honor live. Although Meng Xinghe only stayed here for one night, Lord Bai had already ordered the place to be cleaned.
After everything was settled, the accommodation of the personnel was arranged by Master Bai's master. During the break after lunch, Meng Xinghe, who lived in the east chamber, had nothing to do, so he went to the west to find a few of his brothers to make a decision. Go for a stroll in Dongcang County.
When Meng Xinghe went, it happened that Mr. Chai and Wang Guinian were about to take Luo Feng and Xue Rengui out for fun. They hit it off immediately, changed into private clothes, and all left the county government office to stroll on the streets outside.
After leaving the county government office, the master saw that the adults sent by the court were about to go on patrol incognito, and wondered if he was going out secretly to guard against the people's invitations.
As soon as his mind changed, the master immediately said: "Several adults are going out, so I will send a team to follow them to avoid anything going wrong."
"Excuse me, Master, we don't need it for the time being," Meng Xinghe said lightly. Master, how dare you disobey him? He immediately complained to Wan Fu and walked into the county government office, but he went to report to Lord Bai.
According to what Chai Shao said, when he traveled between Chang'an and Jiangdu in the past, he had stopped in Dongcang County several times, so he was naturally familiar with which places in the county were more suitable for them to go and visit the people.
Yes, it was to visit the people. Meng Xinghe ordered that this time he went out, firstly, not to disturb the people, secondly, not to do evil, and thirdly, not to fight. They were just treated as a group of businessmen traveling between Jiangsu and Zhejiang, passing by Dongcang County to stay overnight. As for what to do, I am afraid that among the five people Except for the two followers who were fifteen or sixteen years old, the other three were extremely familiar with each other.
When they go out to have fun, it is the same no matter which county they are in. In the words of Mr. Chai, the old rule is to eat and drink first, then have fun. However, they just had a sumptuous lunch at the county government office at noon, so they skipped eating and drinking and went straight to The theme of fun.
"Third brother, speaking of fun, there is such a place in Dongcang County. Last time I went to Chang'an for business, I also rested here for a night. The girls are pretty good, but I'm afraid they won't be to your taste. No. I know if Brother Wang is particular about this aspect, otherwise he has no interest." Chai Shao is the most enthusiastic lover of visiting brothels and brothels. He is also a businessman traveling between the north and the south. He will not settle for anything, as long as he has someone I can still look at women who can sleep next to me.
Wang Guinian, a gentle beast, said: "Like Brother Chai, I don't care about stealing jade and fragrance, looking for flowers and asking willows, as long as I have a woman who likes me."
Meng Xinghe glanced at the two of them, but didn't realize that they had met their soul mates.
"Luo Feng, Xue Rengui, don't you two also want to go see your brother Chai and brother Wang and want to end your virginity?"
When a group of old men go to visit a brothel, there is no need to bring two children who have not yet grown up to spoil them. Otherwise, Shi Yu’s wife at home will cry and make trouble if she knows that I have also contaminated his younger brother. Apply family law to me.
The two boys blushed for a while. They wanted to follow the crowd and bravely say "go", but Meng Xinghe extinguished the fire in their hearts with a few words. They lowered their heads and said: "No, I won't go."
Meng Xinghe patted the shoulders of the two boys: "It's okay if you don't go, just walk around with me. I don't go to that place often, so I'm going to quit."
Hearing this, Mr. Chai cast a look of disdain: "Brother Wang, if the third brother doesn't go, I'll go with you. The girl from Fengqilou can't do anything else. Her job is better. I'll give you my satisfaction."
"Really, it's my duty to go to that brother," Wang Guinian also let go. There was nothing unspeakable about the matter, it was entirely out of necessity.
Meng Xinghe's body ached for a while. This Young Master Chai came to seduce him again. He really did what he wanted and would succeed. Meng Xinghe was heartbroken, but he still had to scold Luo Feng and Xue Rengui back to the county government office. , so that he could go there with peace of mind, otherwise he would feel uneasy, so he secretly wrote down the place name that Mr. Chai deliberately mentioned, and he would definitely go there later.
After bidding farewell to Mr. Chai on the streets of Dongcang County, Meng Xinghe led the two young men to wander elsewhere.
"Meng Da, you said that the three of us gentlemen did not buy rouge, gouache, silk and satin, and did not accompany women on the street. We wandered around on the streets of Dongcang County for nothing. It was not fun, so we might as well Go back to the county office and take a good nap,"
After walking for a short distance, Luo Feng said with some resentment. In fact, he should have gone to the brothel with Brother Chai just now. At least what he saw there was much more exciting than here.
Meng Xinghe gave him a slap in the face: "If nothing happens, you can't imitate Lao Xue. You see, I don't have any complaints. You spend a lot of money every day. You want to go to a brothel and end your life as a boy, right? How about I help you and give it to you tonight?" Ask two girls to help you bathe and change clothes,"
"Okay," Luo Feng jumped up happily, "Just in time, my mother wants to find a wife for me, and I'm not afraid of that anyway."
"Hey, I haven't noticed that you are a brat," Meng Xinghe scolded, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself. Xue Rengui and I won't accompany you. I see here, you can move that one by shouting."
"Okay," Luo Feng jumped up happily: "Old Xue, let's go, Meng Da won't go,"
Xue Rengui nodded, and Meng Xinghe was immediately furious.
The two boys have planned this for a long time. It's over, it's over. Another two good young men have been led astray by me. When they go back, they will inevitably get a blank look from all the ladies in the audience. God can tell you that I was really unjust. They have no teachers. Self-taught, can't blame others,
