Enter the Room

  Chapter 114

Yuan Yunzhong didn't look sideways, and walked calmly to Song Youliang's altar, and solemnly lit three sticks of incense, then turned around, cupped his hands towards County Magistrate Jiang, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your love! Mr. Jiang's calligraphy and painting" Shuangjue is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River, I have also heard about it, and now it is a great honor to be able to make friends with Mr. Jiang."

   After finishing speaking, he politely smiled at County Magistrate Jiang and said, "Master Jiang, please serve tea here!"

  His handsome eyebrows and slender eyes, his smile is warm and warm like a spring breeze blowing on his face, as if slowly blowing to the bottom of people's hearts, everyone present couldn't help but feel good about him when they saw it, and some even couldn't help but laugh along with him.

   County magistrate Jiang was taken aback for a moment, feeling a chill down his back inexplicably.

   "I'm coming, I'm coming." Elder Song Eleven who was next to him jumped over in three steps and two steps, "I don't know that Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang are coming, but we only prepared the usual Biluochun and West Lake Longjing."

  He courteously invited County Magistrate Jiang and Wang Zhubo to sit down in the Taishi chair next to the building: "Fortunately, the dim sum is good, and it's from Pinxiangzhai."

  During the period, he also winked at Song Jiyun, signaling her to urge the little maids to serve tea.

  Song Jiyun thought for a while, and simply asked the little maids to put the fruit on a plate and bring it in.

  People who watched the excitement outside the building have started talking about it.

   "How does Mr. Yuan know that Mr. Jiang is a master of calligraphy and painting? Look at Mr. Yuan, he is also a celebrity in the south of the Yangtze River, right?"

   "It should be. I've heard people say that many famous people practice Wei and Jin styles, wearing coarse linen and linen clothes, and eating whole grains!"

   "I just said that Mr. Yuan is not simple, how can an ordinary family raise such a handsome son!"

   Song Jiyun shook his head while listening.

  But Hong Xi's voice suddenly came from next to his ear: "Miss Song!"

  Song Jiyun raised his head, and Hong Xi was standing only two or three steps away from her. When the wind blew, she could faintly smell the fragrance of lotus on his body.

  He was standing too close to her.

  Song Jiyun took two steps back calmly, distanced himself from him, and then smiled and said: "Young Master Hong is here! There are many guests at home, so I didn't see you for a while. If there is any negligence, please forgive me!"

"Where!" Hong Xi smiled, turned the white marble ring between his fingers, and said jokingly, "However, Miss Song is really busy. I came here with Master Jiang, and Miss Song was only focused on looking for Mr. Yuan. didn't see me."

  Why does this sound so inappropriate?

  Song Jiyun secretly raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I still neglected Mr. Hong."

   Then he didn't care what he meant, and took him to offer incense to Song Youliang.

   I just don't know why, when she walked in, the few people sitting in the Baosha didn't speak, and their eyes fell on her and Hong Xi.

  Yuan Yunzhong's gaze rushed towards them like broken ice.

  Song Jiyun was stunned.

  Jiang county magistrate already "hehe" smiled and turned to Yuan Yun who was sitting beside him and said: "Maybe Mr. Yuan doesn't know yet? Mr. Hong actually once studied in Heshan Academy like me."

  Yuan Yunzhong's jaw was tense, and he nodded: "I heard something!"

County magistrate Jiang smiled at Grandpa Song Shiyi: "Didn't you just say that you need to hire two teacher teachers who can educate young children? No, as God wishes, another Heshan Academy came. You also Can I ask Mr. Hong to come forward and invite the two of you!"

"Ah?!" Grandpa Song Shiyi seemed to be stunned by the changes in front of him, and then said after a pause: "You are talking about the county magistrate. Mr. Hong is young and talented, and if the Song family private school is to run well, you must trouble everyone. "

   After finishing speaking, they bowed to everyone in groups.

  Hong Xi said a few words of humility, and stepped forward to salute Jiang County Magistrate.

  Jiang county magistrate waved his hand, as if reminding but also dissatisfied: "Young Master Hong, let's go burn incense to Mr. Song first!"

  Hong Xi's ears were burning, and he bowed to say "yes". He glanced at Song Jiyun, and hurriedly went to offer incense to Song Youliang.

  Jiang county magistrate talked to Song Jiyun: "Nowadays the imperial kiln factory uses new porcelain, how should the sacrificial porcelain be disposed of in the past?"

  Song Jiyun said respectfully: "The imperial kiln factory will report to the manufacturing office. After the emperor agrees to replace the old porcelain with new porcelain, it can be returned to the Song family for disposal."

   "Then you have to help Eunuch Wan to speak?"

"Yes!" Song Jiyun said respectfully, "I have already talked to Mr. Wan before, and Mr. Wan has agreed to report to the manufacturing office. If everything goes well, there should be a letter from the Royal Kiln Factory in two or three days. After the imperial kiln factory writes the deed, it can use the original white porcelain used to make sacrificial porcelain to burn other utensils."

  Jiang county magistrate pondered: "It's just right, I'm going to visit Eunuch Wan in a few days. If Miss Song is free, you can come with me."

   Song Cuiyun was overjoyed.

  Eunuch Wan and Jiang County Magistrate, although one belongs to the Twenty Yamen of the Inner Court and the other belongs to the Ministry of Officials. But the Royal Kiln Factory is located in Liang County, and they depend on each other like lips and teeth, and no one wants to oppose each other if they can cooperate. The Song family was protected by magistrate Jiang, so even if Eunuch Wan didn't take care of them, he wouldn't be too embarrassed.

  Especially those officials in the imperial kiln factory who don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, the Songjia kiln factory will definitely go to work much more smoothly.

   She is blessed again and again.

  Jiang county magistrate stood up with a smile, and asked her in vain: "Miss Song doesn't need to be so polite! The Song family is the largest kiln factory in this county, and the county's taxes are still counting on you!"

   "I will live up to the expectations of adults." Song Jiyun has never thought of reducing taxes, and it is good not to pay more.

  The people who listened to the movement of Baoxia with their ears upright saw that one had a gentle smile and kind words, and the other had a crisp voice and a happy expression. They looked at me and I looked at you, and began to whisper together in twos and threes.

   "I never thought Master Jiang would take such good care of the Song family!"

   "Don't you look at who is speaking?" The speaker quietly pointed to Song Jiyun, "Looking at Liang County, is there any girl prettier than Miss Song?"

   "That's right!" Someone lowered his voice and echoed, "I just don't know if Mr. Jiang is married? I'm afraid it will be a disadvantage!"

   "What's the disadvantage?!" Someone winked, "Look at the appearance of the county magistrate, if it were me, I would be willing to suffer!"

   There was a burst of low laughter outside Baoxia.

  Yuan Yunzhong's face was blue.

  He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has sharp eyes and ears. People outside Baoxia think their voices are very quiet, but he hears them clearly.

  His eyes darkened, and he said heavily: "It's getting late, should we get up and go to the grave?"

According to the etiquette, after the people who come to participate in the sacrifice on the July 7th day gather at the home of the mourner, everyone will go to the cemetery to set off a few firecrackers for the mourner, ask the monks and Taoist priests to read a few volumes of scriptures, and the mourner's house will entertain the guests for a meal. After a while, relatives and friends can be separated. The elders in charge of the clan and the brothers, wives and children of the bereaved master need to stay. After discussing the matter of keeping filial piety, the sacrifice on the seventh day will end.

  As for those who are just acquaintances with the bereaved master's family and who come to offer incense to the bereaved master out of etiquette, they can leave when the bereaved master's family leaves for the cemetery.

  Especially people like County Magistrate Jiang and Master Wang, whose status is much higher than Song Youliang, if they can come to offer incense to Song Youliang, it is already flattering the Song family.

   I feel that the writing is not very good, I will change it...
