Gao Xianda and his group stopped and arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, and stopped going south.

They passed through Zhili from the capital, Shanxi and Henan, which gave Wu Yingxiong a very good face. If they went south, it would be better to go directly to Yunnan to pick him up. The pioneers of the two teams had already met and said that Wu Yingxiong's team was on the way to meet.

During the Qing Dynasty, the capital had moved to the capital, so Kaifeng Prefecture could only be regarded as an ordinary provincial capital. There was neither Kaifeng Prefecture nor Bao Qingtian, nor of course there were no three big gate knives.

The highest commander of Kaifeng Prefecture is the prefect, who is just a small official of the fourth rank. He is smaller than the ordinary imperial guards. He basically faces Gao Xianda and his group, and he has to call him an adult when he meets people.

The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture had already received a rumor, knowing that a first-rank official was ordered by the emperor to lead a team to welcome the prince of Pingxi. Both sides were high-ranking officials who he could not afford to offend. If the reception was good, the promotion would be just around the corner; if the reception was bad, the most likely he would lose his head.

So he sent someone to welcome him early, arranged all the food, clothing and expenses, and arranged a welcome banquet.

Of course, the scale of the banquet was not very large. The first event was led by the governor of Henan Province, accompanied by provincial officials such as the governor, the inspector, the prefect, the Tongzhi and other local officials, and invited Gao Xianda and several core personnel.

Gao Xianda was not very acceptable to the way civil servants drank. They used a small cup of two cents to slowly ate it. Everyone was talking about literary things. Gao Xianda and a group of military generals were all unable to sit still. After eating for a while, they took their leave first in the name of busy military affairs.

This scared the group of people so much that they thought they were not well-mannered. The next day, all kinds of gifts were delivered.

Gao Xianda looked at the gift list and thought it was too expensive, so he could not ask for it, so he ordered someone to return the items.

Who knew that on the third day, more expensive gifts were delivered. It turned out that officials at all levels thought Shangguan felt it was lighter, so they increased their bargaining chips.

Of course, Gao Xianda politely declined.

As a result, on the fourth day, the number of gifts doubled. Moreover, the gift-giver said that these things were just local specialties from my hometown and were not worth much. Please accept them.

In order to prevent these people from sending more expensive gifts, Gao Xianda had to reluctantly accept them.

Gao Xianda looked back and checked these "local specialties", which were filled with rare treasures such as jewelry, jade, high-end cloth such as silk, satin, and some Jun porcelain and Ru porcelain. Among them, there were some good guys passed down from the Song Dynasty, which seemed to be considered antiques at this time.

These things are really "special products" from Henan, but they are not rustic at all, they are all worthwhile things.

Gao Xianda was not interested in these things. Sanjin and Wang Yu looked around and found that there were no items that could enhance their abilities. They were all modern people, and they had no hobbies for collecting antiques, and they also lacked interest.

But Fang Yi is different. She is a local native. She grew up in the Mu Mansion and has a high vision. Unfortunately, the Mu Mansion has lost its family in order to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty over the years. These generals in charge of the family were also very poor and could not afford to wear any good clothes.

So Fang Yi saw these jewelry and cloth, and her eyes were bright. Although she didn't say it, Gao Xianda also understood.

So Gao Xianda had to take these things away and ordered people to find the best tailors and craftsmen in Kaifeng Mansion to tailor a few good sets of clothes for Fang Yi and make some jewelry.

Gao Xianda could only smile bitterly: "I had no intention of asking for bribes, but I couldn't leave me with the bribes. It seems that corruption from ancient officials is related to their family..."

Since they had already collected the things, Gao Xianda thought about it and asked someone to make several sets of Sanjin and Zeng Rou for each of them. Otherwise, it would seem unfair. When they put on new clothes, their temperament did increase a little.

This time Gao Xianda drank with local officials and then drank much more enjoyable.

In fact, it has nothing to do with the gift, but because the Kaifeng prefect has done its homework these days and found out the news from multiple sources.

Zhou Peigong has a relatively sufficient cultural heritage. He talked with all local officials last time. Seeing that they were sensible, he gave them some information.

Only then did they realize that the adults who came this time were all military officers and loved to drink. Last time, everyone talked about the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and songs in a literary way. These adults couldn't understand and couldn't explain them clearly, so they could only listen with a tight face. After a long time, they naturally had to leave early.

Moreover, the Manchus and Mongolian people do not pay much attention to it. Since they are internal entertainment, they might as well bring some generals, singers and other people who accompany them to play to liven up the atmosphere.

The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture suddenly realized and quickly reported the result to the chief officer. So this time, the governor of Henan brought some city defense military officers to accompany him, while the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture brought the captains in the mansion. These are all famous people nearby who can drink.

The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture arranged some beautiful women to accompany him, including the Qing Gongren who is good at singing and dancing, and the top names in Cuiweilou, all of whom were beautiful women with good looks.

Moreover, Henan has a long history and many fine wines. The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture sent people to open several jars of aged Du Kang, and the whole room was filled with wine.

Now, Gao Xianda, the four generals, as well as Zhang Kangnian and several other imperial guard representatives were all excited.

These military officers who accompanied the wine also had good alcohol tolerance and were eloquent. There were also people who had fought wars. They talked about some strange stories in the army and the method of leading troops, which was also very knowledgeable.

Gao Xianda often listened to them explaining the method of leading troops these days, and he was also interested in this and had a very happy chat.

Although these civil officials don’t understand, they have been officials for a long time, and they are extremely skilled in blackness, and they have practiced the ability to support the actors next to them very well. If they don’t say it, they will not understand at all.

So the scene was very lively.

After chatting for a while, the atmosphere gradually faded a little. The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture called out a team to perform dances for everyone.

These people are trained people, and after these days of practice, they cooperate very well. They made these men fascinated.

Among this group of people, the leading dancer was particularly prominent. Her dance posture was not only graceful, but also had a strong sense of power. It seemed that she was not just dancing, but practicing a kind of martial arts. Moreover, her appearance was also very handsome, far beyond other dancers.

Although other women, if you take one out, they are all beautiful ladies, when they are with her, they seem to be dirt and are not worth seeing.

Her charm seems to be more than three kilograms, but she looks younger. And when she dances, she feels more sexy in her bones, but she is not inferior. After watching it, she feels itchy.
