Thinking that the matter of the guild hall was more important, Han Xiufeng simply asked Pan Er to find the Shandong man who could repair old objects first, wrote a letter to Mr. Gu, and sent the letter to "Risenchang". He rushed to the provincial hall to find out if his fellow villagers have returned to Sichuan recently.

Director Zhang asked about his purpose and couldn't help but smile: "Zhixing, you are really a coincidence that you are not as good as you come. Mr. Wu, who was staying in the guild a few days ago, will be led by the Ministry of Rites tomorrow. After seeing him, he will set off for Sichuan. Mr. Wu is out now, and his family is in the guild. I will help you ask if you can let Mr. Gu go with you later."

"Which Mr. Wu?"

"You can't call me master anymore. Now you should call me Lord Wu, Mr. Wu Wenxi and Lord Wu!"

Han Xiufeng murmured: "Mr. Wu's name sounds familiar. Director Zhang, is Mr. Wu a fellow villager in Sichuan? Who is his current position?"

"Mr. Wu is not our fellow countryman. He is from Yizheng, Jiangsu. In the 11th year of Daoguang, he was admitted to the Imperial College Supervisor and was promoted to the assistant teacher. Later, he was successively appointed as the General Secretary of the Chengdu Prefecture of Sichuan, and introduced the promotion of prefecture. He had successively signed the prefecture of Jiading, Xuzhou, and Chengdu. This time he returned to Beijing to meet the prefect of the prefecture of the Taoist and was awarded the flower feathers!"

Looking at Han Xiufeng's sudden realization, Director Zhang leaned into his ear and said, "You have been in Ba County before coming to the capital. I guess you have never heard of Lord Wu. But you have served as the governor of Fujian and served as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and later appointed as the governor of Jiangxi. The cabinet Grand Secretary Wu Wenrong and Wu Zhongtang, who is currently the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, must be well-known. Lord Wu Wenxi and Wu is Wu Zhongtang's younger brother."

Han Xiufeng was so well-known that he exclaimed: "It turns out to be Wu Zhongtang's younger brother. No wonder he has such a smooth career even though he is only a juren, his career is so smooth!"

"I only know that if it were another platform, I wouldn't know how long it would take to take the standby trial after being distributed to the province. Lord Wu doesn't have to worry. He heard from his family that there would be a shortage after returning to Chengdu, and it was a shortage."

"What's the shortage? Shouldn't you go to our Ba County, and shouldn't you sign Dongchuan Road?"

"There are a lot of fat in the East Sichuan Road, but there are even fatter."

Han Xiufeng asked, "Greater Road?"

Director Zhang shook his head.

Han Xiufeng asked in confusion: "Director Zhang, what else can be fatter than Dongchuan Road and Grain Road?"

"Yes," Director Zhang looked behind him and said in his ear: "You forgot where our Sichuan is. Our Sichuan is the country of Tianfu. It not only produces salt but also tea. Compared with the salt tea ceremony, the grain roads, the eastern Sichuan and western Sichuan roads are really not considered fat."

"The salt tea ceremony yamen is responsible for issuing salt entries, tea entries, and collecting salt taxes and tea taxes. This is really a fat and shortage!"

"So there are people in the court who are easy to be officials."

As he was speaking, a scholar in his thirties walked out of it, Director Zhang quickly stood up and shouted, "Mr. Zhang, where are you planning to go?"

The scholar smiled and said, "It's too boring to stay in the room. I plan to go out and have some breathing."

He knew that this person should be Lord Wu's entourage when he heard the accent. Han Xiufeng quickly stood up and bowed. Director Zhang said without any chance: "Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you to him, this brother's surname is Han, his name is Xiufeng, his courtesy name is Zhixing, and his hometown is Ba County. Now it is the first event of the Chongqing Guild Hall. Zhixing, this person is Mr. Zhang, who just told you. Mr. Zhang is both a friend of Lord Wu and a fellow villager of Lord Wu."

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhang, who has long been admired."

"Mr. Han doesn't need to be polite. Although I am from Jiangsu, I can't write two characters Zhang in one stroke. I was a family with Director Zhang five hundred years ago and I am the same family as Director Zhang. I am a friend of Director Zhang, and of course I am also my Zhang Dejian."

"Mr. Zhang really praised me. Please sit down, please use tea." Director Zhang greeted.

Zhang Dejian actually had no place to go, so he simply sat down.

The guild hall is a place to relate the hometown feelings and connect with the countryside. Even if Gu Zhixin is not Mr. Gu’s nephew, he is just an ordinary scholar. If he wants to find someone to go back to his hometown in Sichuan, Director Zhang will help ask if anyone is back. The three of them sat down and greeted him a few times. Director Zhang asked with embarrassment whether he could let Gu Zhixin, a tribute student in Ba County, go with him.

Master Zhang Dejian couldn't do it, so the little master could do it. He agreed immediately, "Since he is Mr. Gu's nephew, he is not an outsider. Moreover, we plan to go by water, so we must pass by Ba County. We have a companion all the way."

After taking the money from Sichuan merchants such as Manager Wen, Han Xiufeng felt that there should be some reward.

Thinking that the master's boss in front of me was the official in charge of salt tea once he went to Sichuan, and the shopkeeper Yu's family happened to be in the tea business. If he could get to this relationship, would the Yu family still be worried about tea? He couldn't help but bow and ask, "Mr. Zhang, are you busy at night?"

"I'm waiting to go back to Sichuan with my adults now, there's nothing to be busy with."

"Since you're not busy, can Mr. Zhang enjoy the glory, go out for a drink and listen to the opera?"

"Okay, I'm worried about how to pass the time."

"Director Zhang, Mr. Zhang is all honored, don't say you're not free."

"Look at what you said, as long as you have wine and a show, I have time every day!"

………

Han Xiufeng ran to the Provincial Pavilion every few days, and could not be familiar with the area where Xuanwai was more familiar.

I first wrote a note and asked a clerk from the provincial museum to deliver it to Manager Yu. Then I found a restaurant with a opera troupe nearby, ordered a large table of dishes, and ordered a few pots of good wine.

When the shopkeeper Yu received the note, he pulled the staff from the provincial hall to ask, confirming that Han Xiufeng was invited by the master of the Sichuan salt tea ceremony who was about to take office. He hurried home to get a stack of silver notes, and the staff of the staff of the club trotted all the way to the restaurant where Han Xiufeng and others were.

"Isn't this the matter between Han? Why do you have time to come here for a drink?" Manager Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked up to say hello as if he was a chance encounter.

Zhou Xingyuan used to be a master. Han Xiufeng had dealt with Zhou Xingyuan so many times and knew that the master was not a good deal. Besides, he had a good chat with Master Zhang just now, so he simply smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Yu, Director Zhang is not an outsider, Mr. Zhang is not an outsider, he is all his own family. Don't pretend, sit down quickly."

"Master Han, Director Zhang, I...I..." Manager Yu was embarrassed and wanted to find a place to get in.

Zhang Dejian looked at Han Xiufeng with a smile, not knowing what he was selling. Han Xiufeng didn't want to keep a lie to a master like him. While greeting Manager Yu, he said bluntly: "Mr. Zhang, this is Manager Yu, and we are also a fellow villager in Sichuan. In the past, they used to do tea business in their hometown, but later all the teas were underwritten by tea merchants in Shanxi and Anhui. He could only go to the capital to do some small business."

How could Zhang Dejian not guess Han Xiufeng's good intentions? He couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out to be Manager Yu, who is indifferent to respect."

"Mr. Zhang, the young man can't afford the word "respective". The young man will pay you a greeting."
