Chapter 607 Must be the third grade
"Yu Dun, Liang Qu, you two are about to join the tiger hunt. Remember to make plans before taking action. Don't waste your good years."
"Don't worry, Master, you will think twice before taking action."
"Shao Qin, how are Zhen Gang's preparations?"
"Image my junior fellow apprentice to say the same thing."
"Okay! Cao Rang..."
A few words of advice.
Yang Dongxiong looked at the moonlight in the distance and waved his hands to dismiss the disciples.
"Nothing to do tonight, go back and rest early, don't delay tomorrow's birthday party."
"Wait a minute." Mrs. Xu raised her hand, "I have something to say."
"Master's wife?"
"Go to the main hall."
Everyone moved around, and the breeze caused the paintings to sway slightly.
On the Eight Immortals square table in the center of the hall, nine trays are arranged in three rows and three columns, containing two folded clothes, two belts, and two cold sachets on the side, with a subtle fragrance floating around.
Mr. Xu sat sideways and waved his sleeves.
"Each person has one set. The top left is for the oldest child, and the second left is for the second oldest. Go down in order and get it yourself."
Yang Xu kneaded the cloth, looking surprised.
"Long Xiao, Shark Xiao?"
Yu Dun thought back.
"Junior brother's?"
Xu nodded: "In May of this year, Xiaojiu brought back one piece of cloth for each person from Xiangyi County and sent it to me to make clothes for you.
Cut it out, one set for each season. From the remaining scraps, I made two belts and two sachets, all according to your body measurements. It’s my birthday party tomorrow, so dress appropriately to teach others that we are a family.”
Xu Zishuai was delighted: "In the past six months, I thought that my wife was being asked to be greedy, so I didn't dare to ask."
"Look for a fight!"
"Hahaha!"
The nine people took their share in turn.
Liang Qu kneaded the clothes in the tray. The sleeves were not made of dragon gauze, but of shark gauze. They were made of translucent gauze, which did not show through the flesh. The gauze covering the outside looked nothing like what a man would wear.
By one count, there are six sets in total.
"Senior Wife, why did Senior Sister's clothes come into my hands?"
"Who said it was for you?" Mrs. Xu sat down and took a sip of tea. "You have the dragon spirit silk. Do you need me to make clothes for you? The ones on the plate are for Eying, Xiaoyao and Xiaoli."
Liang Qu was very sorry to hear this.
"No matter how amazing Long Lingxiao's transformation is, how can he compare to Master Niang's craftsmanship?"
"Do you think your senior brother and sister's clothes were made by me?" Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes, "Two sets per person, eighteen sets, and I won't be able to do it for another half a year."
Yu Dun said with a smile: "Junior brother, I flattered you the wrong way today. The Xu family's cloth business in Huangzhou is famous all over the world, and so are the tailors in Huangzhou. When my junior wife got married, several powerful embroiderers and tailors followed her and settled in Huaiyin. Their craftsmanship was outstanding, and Pingyang
Most of the cloth crafts in the town were developed under the hands of the mistress."
"Hiss~"
"I decided on the style," Xu added.
"I'll tell you!"
"Okay." Mrs. Xu closed the tea lid lightly, "Take it back and try it out. If there is anything wrong, bring it over quickly and leave it overnight to make corrections."
"Okay!"
Coming out of the courtyard, the corridors on both sides are covered with longevity characters.
Occasionally, I can still see servants walking around, carrying a long table, two potted plants, and a screen without knowing where they are going.
It's lively.
Small courtyard.
Liang Qu put down the tray.
"Come on, come out and try on new clothes!"
Long Yao was curious: "Elder, what new clothes?"
"My wife made new clothes for you, two sets for each person, two pieces from Eying on top, and four pieces from Qin at the bottom. Oh, wait a minute, you don't have them, Binglin."
When Liang Qu saw Long Binglin peeking his head out of the wing, he lamented, "My wife favors one over the other, but neither of us."
"One person has two sets." Long Li smiled with squinted eyes, "Brother Binglin is too tall and can't fit in. If the elder really likes it, let Sister Eying give you a set?"
"Yes, yes, the elder has advanced cultivation and is not afraid of the cold. You can wear Sister Eying's summer dress tomorrow."
Long Eying held the clothes in her hands and looked at her.
"Ahem, don't play around. Go try it on. If it doesn't fit you can change it."
"If you want to see it, elder, just say so!"
"In no mood!"
Liang Qu spoke righteously.
moment.
Long Yao and Long Li pushed Long Eying out and turned around slightly.
"nice."
Liang Qu sincerely praised him.
"It's not nice to disturb the mistress too late. There's another one, please put it on quickly!"
…
The rooster crows.
The sky is purple.
As the beginning of winter approaches, there is a chill in the morning. The fallen leaves on the branches have faded away, and a few are crumbling.
The entire Xu family mansion was ablaze with enthusiasm.
A gong sounded, and the troupe in the back garden turned somersaults on the high platform.
The maid carries the pot and pours tea.
It started at the time of the birthday party, so there were no major dramas on stage, and they were all small and situational dramas.
Young people gathered together in pairs, drank tea, and ate fruits.
Look around.
There are many new faces in the garden. I don't know which family's children have returned recently. When they met, they were embarrassed.
There are so many people that even people with the same surname Xu may not be able to identify who belongs to whose family.
But many people know Liang Qu.
The Dashou Club became famous in one fell swoop, and many disciples wanted to come and say hello, but were too embarrassed to do so and kept looking at him from the corner of their eyes.
Just like the Kei Water Leopard's only friend is the Fire Tiger.
The circles are different, and it is inevitable to feel inferior.
I'm afraid that if I take the initiative, I'll be in trouble and be embarrassed in public.
Of course, Liang Qu felt that many eyes were not falling on him, but on the dragon girl beside him.
period.
The Huo family, the Chi family and various small families continued to arrive, including the magistrate of Huangzhou, Xu Wanxing, Zhou Tong, and the state magistrate.
Exchanging pleasantries.
The state magistrate Tang Yuyou glanced around and walked straight towards Liang Qu.
"Master Liang!"
"Master Tang!"
"I sent people to look for him a few days ago, but I didn't know that Mr. Liang went to Pengze and never met him."
"But there are some clues about the Zhao family case?"
After the hunting party, Mr. Zhao was arrested and brought to justice, but Liang Qu had no control over it and left it all to professionals.
Not only does it share the merits with Huangzhou officials, it is also more in line with the rules.
After all, Huangzhou is the boundary.
Tang Yuyou shook his head.
"Don't want to say?"
"He refused to tell us." Tang Yuyou corrected, "Fatty Zhao said that he had important news, and he couldn't tell it until he met a third-rank official. He also told us to know it, which is not a good thing."
Don't say it.
This trick is quite effective.
Tang Yuyou originally wanted to torture and interrogate him, but after hearing what he heard, he reported it to Zhizhou Xu Wanxing, but finally gave up.
After serving as officials for many years, the two of them knew that knowing too much about some things was not a good thing.
When it comes to remnants of the previous dynasty, one cannot be too careful.
The person has already been caught, and he will get a share of the credit for nothing, so there is no need to cause trouble.
"Third-grade officer..."
Liang Qu thought about it.
Does this mean Su Guishan wants to take action personally?
Hebo's leader Wei Lin was only of the fourth rank, and Xu Yuelong was of the fourth rank. Except for Su Guishan, there was no one with a higher rank than these two.
Fatty Zhao really has something.
Playing tricks on a third-grade official for nothing will definitely lead to a worse outcome than torture to extract a confession.
Tang Yuyou glanced around and saw the wooden box at Liang Qu's feet, and was quite curious.
"What kind of birthday gift did Mr. Liang prepare? It was made of red sandalwood? And it was so wide and flat?"
Unless you have something to ask for, in terms of the relationship between Liang and Qu, a gift of a few dozen taels, or even a hundred taels, will suffice.
The red sandalwood in front of you occupies a lot of weight, and the carvings on it look like they were made by a master and are quite exquisite.
A single box is worth more than a hundred taels, but it cannot contain more than a thousand?
"It's a worthless gadget." Liang Qu waved his hand, "The box is for distribution, and the shopkeeper insisted on giving it to me."
"Oh?" Tang Yuyou was surprised, "Master Liang, can you tell me something?"
"When the time comes, Master Tang will be able to know when the gifts are given and the call is made."
"We'll see."
