Datou couldn't help asking again: "Fourth brother, what else did Mr. Duan say in the letter?"

"He said that on the day of the full moon of Goudan, not only Mr. Gu, Mr. Fei, Juren, Juren Bao and others went there, and several Juren from Ba County, Jiangbei Hall, Bishan and Jiangjin who were going to Beijing to take the exam also went there, and all gifts were prepared, so eight of Changsheng Locks were collected. Changsheng, your father also went there, and your father also gave a Long Life Lock."

Han Xiufeng paused and then said, "There were 16 tables in the full moon wine. My yard was small and four tables were set up. My father-in-law had twelve tables. The county government office, the elders of the road bureau, the family members of the 14 prefectures and county scattered halls, and the relatives and neighbors of my father-in-law, and the neighbors of my father-in-law, and the gifts were collected for more than 300 taels alone. However, people had to go with each other, and we had to go if we had something to do."

Pan Er couldn't help but smile and said, "My father told me the last time he wrote that he would definitely go."

Han Xiufeng smiled and said, "My father-in-law asked your father and Mr. Fei to sit at a table."

"Is that so? My father must be very proud. He can show off his neighbors for a month, hahaha!"

Fourth brother, is there anyone from our Sichuan Gang?" Datou asked anxiously.

"I really don't know this. My father-in-law didn't say it in the letter."

"It's impossible. Even if the Eighth Master doesn't go, the Sixth Brother has to go."

Han Xiufeng knew that he was homesick these days, and when he thought that he was illiterate anyway, he simply took out the letter and looked at it pretentiously, then looked up and said, "Bigou, although my father-in-law didn't mention whether anyone from the Chuan Gang went to have a full moon wine, he mentioned the Eighth Master. He said that the Eighth Master became more and more energetic as he lived, and he could eat three bowls of rice a day."

"The people who make a living on the dock have a lot of appetite. I used to be able to eat half a pot of food!"

Finally, when the news from the Eighth Master was heard, Datou was so happy that he threw everyone away and ran to the backyard. In a blink of an eye, he ran back excitedly and put the wages he had given for more than half a year and the rewards given by others over the past few days in front of Han Xiufeng: "Fourth brother, Mr. Hu just said that he would go back in a few days. Anyway, you want to ask Mr. Hu to send a message to my family, help me tell me about this money, and let him help me deliver the money to Mr. Hu."

This is his filial piety, and money is useless to him. Han Xiufeng was about to agree, and Yu Youfu also smiled and said, "Siwazi, I have more than a dozen taels here. Please tell me about it and Mr. Hu, please help me bring the money to my family."

"Okay, but you can collect the money and this money first. Young Master Hu will leave in a few days."

Datou was ecstatic and just put the money away, "Risenchang" Xiao Wuzi actually walked around the screen wall and walked into the yard, bowing from a distance: "Master Han, the new museum is built in a really grand manner. If it weren't for the plaque of the Chongqing Guild Hall hanging on the gatehouse, I would have thought I had gone to the wrong place."

Han Xiufeng hurriedly stood up to greet him: "On average, it's still incomparable to those guild halls in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"People are so angry that people are so angry. The same is true for the guild hall, so there is no need to compete with others." Seeing that Pan Er was going to make tea, Xiao Wuzi hurriedly grabbed it and immediately took out a letter from her sleeve: "Master Han, I will not go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing. The young one sent you a letter. This is a letter sent by Hanzhong Prefecture, Shaanxi. I am busy today. I will give you the letter. I will not drink the tea." As soon as I heard the place name "Shaanxi Hanzhong Prefecture", Han Xiufeng knew that the letter was sent by Duan Dazhang, the prefect of Hanzhong, Shaanxi, who was the highest in the imperial examinations in Ba County since Shunzhi Dynasty to the present. As soon as I saw Xiao Wuzi away "Risenchang", he quickly opened it to see it.

Pan Er also guessed it and asked curiously: "Fourth Brother, is it Mr. Duan's letter?"

"Well," Han Xiufeng returned to the main hall, put down the letter and smiled: "Mr. Duan has been in office for three years and is going to go back to Beijing to meet him as usual. He didn't know if the guild hall was built. In the letter, he said that if it was built and arrived in Beijing, he would stay at the guild hall. If it was not built, he would live in the provincial hall. He asked me to help him tell Director Zhang in advance so that he could leave him a few rooms."

The prefect was a real high-ranking official. Pan Er said excitedly: "Mr. Duan is a serious fellow townsman in Ba County. There is no way to build the guild hall. Now it has been built, and it is built so grandly that he will definitely let us live here!"

Han Xiufeng was also very excited and couldn't help but smile and said, "This is natural."

Yu Youfu thought how much face it would be to be able to curry favor with the government office, and asked anxiously: "Siwazi, did Mr. Duan say in the letter when he left, and when he would arrive?"

"I said that the letter was written by Mr. Duan on the 26th of last month. He planned to set off on the ninth day of last month. I guess he would arrive in a month, which is just these few days."

"That's how you go slowly."

"Well, this letter was a bit slow, but it was finally delivered before Mr. Duan arrived in Beijing." Han Xiufeng pondered for a moment and explained: "Changsheng, don't go to Mr. Ji and the others later. Don't worry about the invitation of the sages to the temple. Mr. Duan has been here these days, and I'll talk about it when Mr. Duan arrives."

"Yes, yes, yes, we have to wait for Mr. Duan for such a big deal to invite the local genius to the temple."

"Mr. Duan cannot go to Beijing alone. There are at least seven or eight entourages. I quickly clean the top scholar's room inside and buy a few more beds to prevent Mr. Duan and the others from bringing it."

"Not only do you have to buy a few more beds, but you also have to buy two better ones."

"Well, you can watch the purchase, don't be reluctant to spend money." Han Xiufeng thought for a while, and then said, "Uncle Yu, please go and find Manager Wen and others and ask their family if one or two people can help. Mr. Duan finally returned to Beijing once and would definitely invite the adults from the Six Ministry and classmates in Beijing in the same year. We alone would definitely not be able to do it."

"Okay, I'll go now."

"etc."

"What else is there?" Yu Youfu asked back.

Han Xiufeng pondered and said, "Mr. Duan returned to Beijing to hear an interview. I am not only the chief official of the guild but also the alternate inspection. This lack may be made up one day. Once it is filled, you have to take the post. What should we do if we leave? Let us tell Manager Wen and others clearly that no matter who they ask to help, don't leave after coming here. Stay here and be familiar with the big and small things of the guild, but before we leave, the guild only cares about food, accommodation and no wages."

"They are in a hurry to take over your first job, so they don't care about that little wage, they are definitely willing."

"Whether they want to do it or not, we have to make it clear to them first, after all, the guild hall cannot support so many people."

"I know, I'll go now."

Han Xiufeng sent Yu Youfu's eyes out of the main hall, and thought about it and said, "Changsheng, after you buy the bedding, you can go and talk to Mr. Ji, Mr. Zhong, Mr. Ao and others and tell them that Mr. Duan is going to go back to Beijing to meet him."

"I know, I'll buy a bedding first."

"Little Shandong!

"Here," Xiao Shandong ran in from the backyard, held the chair and asked, "Mr. Han, what's the matter?"

"You and Datou look forward to the door and clean the yard by the way. I'll go to Chongwen Gate."

"What are you doing in Chongwenmen?"

“There’s something to do.”
