Chapter 433 Hospitality
On the third day of the first lunar month, the Southeast is a habit of visiting the door or opening the door to welcome guests from this day. The outside of the Qian Mansion is lively and the heads are swaying. There are ordinary people and scholars with high crowns of Confucian uniforms.
Qian Yuan and Xiao Qi both followed the habits of their previous lives and had never been superior to others in dealing with people. Therefore, the Qian family is different from other aristocratic families and has a lot of contact with ordinary people. At least the neighbors in the alley came to the door.
The family with fame and fame in Linhai County was even more unfamiliar. Although they had only moved here for less than a year, one of them had a Jinshi on the list and was repeatedly defeated by the Japanese. The eldest granddaughter of the cabinet chief, the granddaughter of the eldest son of the cabinet, was regarded as Guanyin descending to earth, and with the support of Taizhou governor Tan Lun, he naturally had to visit him.
As a result, more than a dozen tall horses were immediately seen, Lu Bin and Hou Jigao smiled and watched the scene, while Qi Jimei's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot!
After a while, Qi Jimei saw clearly that the three families who came to her house should be all scholars, and each family brought a 14 or 15-year-old boy!
It’s obvious that the Qian family has only big and thick legs... So the Qian family’s little sister is now a woman and a hundred families.
Speaking of which, the young girl from the Qian family is already fourteen years old and is almost at the age of getting engaged. Qi Jimei is a little pessimistic... She is still a general manager, and she is already nineteen this year. Is there still hope?
My eldest brother Qi Jiguang is quite optimistic, but my eldest sister-in-law Wang doesn’t agree very much. After all, my literary and martial arts are different... Otherwise, I remember that I have a cousin who is quite polite to my temper!
Thinking of this, Qi Jimei felt chills. I don’t want to live a life like my elder brother!
Qian Yuan was a skilled worker in receiving guests. In his previous life, he accompanied him to see him off with a smile and even pimping, but he was really bored. He didn't need to please him in this life except for a few others.
Qian Yuan was a little impatient when he came to the door, but he couldn't drive him away. At this moment, Tan Lun came.
"Master Tan."
"Brother Zili."
Everyone stood up to salute. Tan Lun guarded Taizhou alone for 32 years since Jiajing. He has made many military achievements, and everyone in Linhai County admired him.
"Uncle, please do a favor." Qian Yuan saw that Lu Bin and others had come out of the backyard. "I made an appointment with General Lu today, and Hou Guerrilla had something to discuss..."
"Go." Tan Lun waved his hand and turned his head to smile, "Mr. Mingtang is an elder, please sit down first... Zhang San, everyone here is Taizhou Junjie. What kind of tea is this? Why don't you go to change to Mingqian Longjing!"
"Oh, there is no need to be like this." Mingtang Gong Liu Xuan was the head of the Liu family of Linhai clan. He was a second-class Jinshi during the Zhengde period. He resigned after three years of office. In recent years, he contributed money and helped Tan Lun a lot.
"Isn't this nephew Tan known as the rebirth of Mr. Tao Zhu?" Tan Lun smiled and said, "Mr. Mingtang is a distinguished guest, and Mr. Tan is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."
Qian Yuan looked at Tan Lun speechlessly, pointing out the previous Longjing... Isn't it just that I was reluctant to give it to you last time?!
Mingtang Gong was nearly 70 years old and stroked his white beard and smiled: "I have a good taste today. I haven't tasted it for many years since I have tasted it."
"Mingtang Duke broke his family and helped the Japanese. Everyone in Taizhou admired him. How could he be so concerned about Longjing in Mingqian?" Tan Lun said this lightly, and looked at Qian Yuan who was smiling dryly.
Unlike other prefectures, Taizhou has been frequently affected by Japanese turmoil since the 28th year of Jiajing. Even in the two years when Wang Zhi and the government lived peacefully, Japanese turmoil in Taizhou has never stopped. Therefore, the large Taizhou households had no resistance to donating property to fight against Japanese turmoil, and replaced it with other places... Three years ago, Qian Yuan threatened to thrust troops to wash the city.
After hearing Tan Lun's words, what else can Qian Yuan do?
I could only use the fat man to make me smile and let someone bring the last note before Longjing... Well, now it's out of stock. Qian Yuan can't be considered a tea tasting. He used coffee to refresh himself in his previous life. Isn't this coffee without coffee, and there is no instant one!
Moreover, Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian have given so much to him in recent years, Qian Yuan has long been used to drinking Songluo tea, which is not very good at later generations.
At this time, Lu Bin and Hou Jigao had already entered the main hall. They were all juniors. They went to the backyard to pay homage to Tan before coming out. Everyone exchanged polite greetings.
"It is reported that General Lu is about to recruit soldiers?" Mingtang asked, "Jinhua, Chuzhou dare not say that I can still help in Taizhou."
Lu Bin is not a sociable and verbal person, he only said: "I am preparing to recruit soldiers in Jinhua and Chuzhou."
"The Lu family was born in the state guards, so naturally the first thing I thought about is Chuzhou." Qian Yuan smoothed out: "The other general of the relatives recruited troops in Yiwu County, Jinhua Prefecture. Taizhou and Jiaxing were all effective in several battles, so they chose these two prefectures to recruit troops."
"Taizhou was invaded by Japanese for ten years, and he is willing to kill Japanese."
"Mr. Mingtang said," Qian Yuan nodded and praised: "Changshui Town, Tongxiang won two great victories, and Taizhou-born guards charged in battle and made great contributions. Who dares to say that Taizhou people dare not kill the Japanese?"
Hou Jigao also said, "What Zhan Cai said is that he recruited 300 soldiers from Huangyan County in Xia and Huangyan County, and most of them were killed by Japanese warriors. Remember how many of the Liang family in Xialiang Township are in the guard team?"
"Liang Wen." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "In this battle, Liang Wen was the one who won the most in the guards, and he was a leader even in the army."
At this time, the servant brought the tea, and Qian Yuan picked up a cup with a little sadness. It was gone before the Mingqian Longjing was delivered this year...
Everyone in the hall tasted tea and praised it. There were so many prefectures in Zhejiang, Taizhou was not outstanding. Hangzhou’s Mingqian Longjing each year did not have much share in Taizhou, and even Tan Lun could not get it. It was only after Qian Yuan went south that he often drank it.
But the outside of the hall is a bit tense. Because the space inside is not large, many children who come to visit the door are outside.
Why are the tensions?
Qian Yuan has a 14-year-old sister who has not yet been engaged... Everyone knows that most of the younger generations who visit the door this time are young men of fifteen or sixteen years old.
It was nothing at all. Everyone was a big family in Linhai family. They looked up and saw each other without looking down. They were even in-laws and classmates, but the problem was Qi Jimei's appearance.
“Meow…”
The backyard was very busy today, and no one cared about it. Xiao Hei was running high and low to the front yard. Qi Jimei quickly picked it up.
It wasn't that much at first, but when the maid next to the little sister came to the front yard anxiously, Qi Jimei went up to chat for a few words... The smell was sour afterwards, and several young men who couldn't hold their breath began to sarcastically.
Qi Jiguang was stationed in Taizhou for more than a year, and then Qian Yuan went to Taizhou last year. Many people knew that the two of them had a close relationship... These young men couldn't help but think about it.
The noise sounded outside the door, and everyone in the hall was stunned. Hou Ji walked out tall and took a look, scolding him a few words... but he couldn't suppress him.
A slutty man was mocking Qi Jiguang's wife Guan Yan, and he talked about Wang's appearance in public... Now the Qian family's guards are quitting, and his young grandmother is also showing up. Are you pointing at the mulberry and scolding?
Qian Yuan, who was walking to the door, heard a few words and couldn't help but shake his head. After all, it was the reason why the civil and military officials were inferior. Although Qi Jiguang and Qi Jimei were good at killing the Japanese, they were still martial artists in the eyes of scholars... Those who were a little older could still cover up their slightest when fighting against the Japanese in the southeast, but these young men were too young.
"Ahem."
A cough sounded, and Qian Yuan's figure appeared at the door.
The guards who were still pulling the strait just now stood up with their hands down. Qi Jimei, who was like a bull who was angry just now, stopped immediately and lowered her head with panting.
As if the sight was actually coming, the young men who were a little proud shuddered and took a step or two.
After several years of experience, Qian Yuan's sword was polished to a bright and sharp edge. It was slightly exposed and shone with sharp edges, making people afraid to look at it.
"Everyone's fine is fined for every month. No matter who, the training will be doubled tomorrow."
Qi Jimei raised her head, but when she collided with Qian Yuan's eyes, she immediately lowered her head.
