Chapter 114 The Drink of the Long Night (Part 2)
At the door of Bao's house.
The carriage stopped, and Dr. Bao got off the carriage.
I ran to three families in one afternoon, and the old man was a little tired.
The first one is the head of the house and is really sick.
I thought I could just let my son go to the banquet, but now I dare not do anything about the atmosphere and struggled to get up. Otherwise, I would be wronged by the new marshal's misunderstanding and neglect.
They have been old customers for decades. What can Dr. Bao do if you ask him about him?
It is impossible to go there in person and apply acupuncture in person, leaving two ginseng and Qi-enhancing pills.
The other two families sent their concubines to Guo Jiangping.
I was so proud of myself before, and now I feel more guilty.
If my daughter is still in the prefecture yard, she can still be brought back and cut off her relationship with Jiang Ping; but if everyone is taken away, the relationship will be stuck on her body and can't be pulled apart.
I was scared by myself, and I was so exhausted. I heard that someone asked Dr. Bao to come to the hospital, so I followed me to join in the fun, wanting to take the opportunity to inquire.
Bao Da has been in and out of the state government for the past two days, but they are all in everyone's eyes.
What can Dr. Bao say?
He knows nothing!
It’s not that I haven’t asked the boss.
But the boss and a doctor were all in contact with people from below, and they had no chance to meet several marshals and generals.
Brother Bao kept silent.
These two companies are becoming increasingly unsure.
Others heard that Dr. Bao was still on medical treatment as usual, and they also had the intention to ask for inquiries.
But I heard that three companies have invited them in a row, and two of them have a delicate situation, so everyone has become honest.
It’s better to be quiet than to move, so be at peace at this time.
Otherwise, what should I do if I am misunderstood to form a gang in private?
...
Beijing flavor downstairs.
A carriage was parked and decorated in ordinary ways.
The Guo family's children and grandchildren are all coming out, and they are very rich. The third son and eight grandchildren are already married, and the young grandchildren are still in their infancy.
Mr. Guo glanced at him and pointed at his grandson: "Follow those over ten years old, go back if those under ten years old!"
Manager Guo immediately responded and called a few of his older nephews to come forward.
Mr. Guo Er said, "Dad, the post says to take his children and grandchildren over..."
Mr. Guo shook his head: "There are no female relatives, who can coax your child with you with a baby?"
Mr. Guo San said: "Let the fourth brother stay, and the fifth brother goes... What's the difference between nine and ten years old!"
The fourth brother is the youngest son of Manager Guo, and he is ten years old this year.
The fifth brother is the eldest son of Mr. Guo, and he is nine years old this year.
The grandchildren are ranked together, one, two, and four are the sons of Manager Guo, three, six, and eight are the sons of Master Guo, and five and seven are the sons of Master Guo.
Mr. Guo glanced at his son and turned to his eldest son: "Boss, what do you say?"
Manager Guo was quite surprised and shook his head and said, "No need to do this, you won't be able to reach that point!"
Mr. Guo insisted: "Brother, it will be fine if you are fine... but what if..."
Mr. Guo was frightened when he heard this: "Dad, don't go, nephews, please go, son...
Although the post of the state government is "to bring children and grandchildren", Mr. Guo did not plan to go all over his family.
Mr. Guo was kept in the housekeeper before.
Mr. Guo looked at the second son: "Your brother also said just in case... what if there is no one left at home?"
"Then you should keep the third brother... The third brother can start a family and be more successful than his son..."
Mr. Guo Ershi is a very honest man who becomes stubborn.
Mr. Guo didn't say anything.
Manager Guo understood the father’s intention.
If it really comes, what if... the second child with a soft temperament is better than the third child with a strong temperament.
only……
The father and son looked at each other, with relief in their eyes.
...
Twenty-eight posts, twenty-eight.
It's time to choose.
Family members cannot avoid it.
If you accompany your children and grandchildren, you can consider it.
The eldest son and grandson are indispensable. Marshal Huo has his only son here. If he really only chooses a companion and does not take care of his eldest son and grandson, he will be negligent.
After two days of hard work, I was worried about how much hair turned white.
The inner wife can be used to collect the tears shed in a pot.
But when the time came, the heads of each family still got on the carriage and headed to the prefecture.
...
Outside the prefecture yamen, there are sad winds and rains.
But the state yamen was lively and bustling.
The identities of the elders are here, so there is no need to welcome guests in person.
Huo Bao and Lin Ping'an were not worth enough, so Huo Bao had to come forward.
After all, these people who came are all future "comrades", so they have to feel warm.
Huo Bao pulled Huo Bao and Lin Ping'an took action.
As for Shui Jin, he followed Huo Wu, Ma Village Master, Tang Guang and Deng Jian to the camp.
...
Everyone came to the Chuzhou soldiers.
The leader of the village, Tang Guang's direct troops remained unmoved, and the other 7,000 Chuzhou soldiers were 4,000 Du Laoba's men, and three,000 Chuzhou soldiers were the previous Chuzhou soldiers.
All these 7,000 people were handed over to Huo Wu today.
Huo Wu did not keep it in his hand and said, "Old Ba's man doesn't move, keep it for him. The remaining three thousand people, Shui Jin first practices, and turn around and pick the guards from here..."
Everyone had no objection, and only the head of the village said: "The registered households in Yongyang have more than 10,000 households, and they can recruit soldiers from Yongyang once."
There were 8,000 households in Quyang and 20,000 people were recruited.
The population of Yongyang in the prefecture is more than double that of Quyang, with only 6,000 soldiers and room for recruitment.
Huo Wu nodded and said, "When Juzi and his friends come up, they will go down to recruit soldiers. The first batch of people will be recruited first!"
It is possible to collect 10,000 yuan from the prefecture, but everyone is short of food now.
I can only collect it in batches.
...
At the front of the prefecture yamen, guests have arrived.
Without exception, the few that came first were merchants.
Merchants are the best at looking at their faces and are the most sensible.
Huo Bao stood at the door, just homely clothes, and he was still carrying a mace bag behind him.
Beside him, Huo Bao and Lin Ping'an were standing.
Such a boy, such a dress.
Everyone knows it in their mind that they will not make mistakes, and they all understand that this is the little marshal.
The little marshal personally welcomes the guests?
Everyone became more and more confused.
What does it mean?
Seeing this young man’s handsome appearance and gentle treatment, he was a seed of reading.
So Marshal Huo was born as a scholar?
People don’t feel relaxed, but they are even more nervous.
The reckless man who is happy and angry is terrible, and the cunning scholar is even more unsure.
Huo Bao was just coming out to hold a scene, his expression was faint. When they saw each other's courtesy, they asked people to bring them in.
When Huo Bao saw the familiar face, his expression calmed down.
The Guo family has arrived.
Manager Guo held Mr. Guo in front, while Master Guo San took his nephew behind.
Huo Bao nodded to Manager Guo, then looked at Mr. Guo.
His temples are dyed white and there are two old spots on his forehead. This is Dr. Bao’s cousin. This is the correct way for the elderly in sixties to open it.
Mr. Guo said respectfully: "The little old man has seen the young marshal!"
"The elders don't have to be too polite!"
Huo Bao thought of this title in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, so he helped him with a weak hand.
At this moment, the Bao family's carriage also arrived.
Dr. Bao got off the car, his eyes were red and his eyelids were drooping and his spirits were exhausted.
He was surrounded by his eldest son Bao Baiying, eldest grandson Bao Yuan, and second grandson Bao Xiaoer.
Seeing that Huo Bao was personally welcomed, Bao Baiying quickly whispered: "Dad, Master Xiao Bao is here..."
Dr. Bao also saw it and did not dare to delay, so he quickly accelerated his pace.
"Old Bao, Doctor Bao..."
Huo Bao had seen them, and he greeted them with a smile on his face.
Um?
Everyone looked at the Bao family father and son.
This is not familiar with it!
Go, the two of the Bao family are hiding their own personalities!
Even Mr. Guo, who is a good-tempered man, was secretly lucky when he looked at his cousin.
Only Mr. Guo San, who saw that the Bao family had only the first lineage of Changfang, and no one of the second houses was seen, could not tell what it felt.
Although Mr. Bao is still his brother-in-law and the child of the second wife of the Bao family is still his nephew, Mr. Guo still can't stand his brother-in-law's selfish moral character of hiding when encountering problems.
Dr. Bao was flattered and became more respectful: "I have met you..."
After all, I don’t dare to say his name directly.
Huo Bao personally helped him up and said, "None of them are outsiders, so you have to be polite."
Dr. Bao was almost falling apart, and sweat came out on his forehead.
Why aren't you an outsider?
When did you become an "insider"?
Dr. Bao looked at his son.
Bao Baiying had no expression.
He was a job in the state yamen, and his father was a subordinate family, so he could barely be considered his own.
Everyone looked at the Bao family with resentment.
It turns out that the Bao family has already voted for the new marshal!
Eat alone and don’t be afraid of choking!
Eight merchants have arrived, and twenty gentry families have begun to arrive one after another.
The seven or eight families that came first had their families and children who worked as minor officials in the prefecture yamen.
Now that the new marshal does not need to win over them, they also have the mark of "reverseness" on them. Unless they are cruelly removed from the children and grandchildren involved, that is just a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
These people accepted their fate and were very respectful to Huo Bao, the young master of Chuzhou.
After seeing this, the other gentry despised them in their hearts, but they were frightened by the storm of the past two days and did not dare to appear at this time. They had to pinch their noses and lean down and make small.
Huo Bao saw the reactions of each family and had a small notebook in his heart.
Those who are really used, those who have to be looked at again, those who have no obedience are classified.
...
Chinese people talk about their identities everywhere, and the more important the family, the more they play, the more they play.
Among the gentry in Chuzhou, two families were the leader.
One family's surname is Song, and the head of the family, Mr. Song, was Xiao Jiuqing, who just retired last year and returned to his hometown to retire; the other family's surname is Wu, and Mr. Wu is just a juren, but his eldest son was a Jinshi and is now in the prefect of Hunan.
Mr. Song and Mr. Wu became the last two guests.
The two are about the same age, both of them are sixty years old.
One is a senior official who retired from the third rank, and the other is a senior official named Zhongshun doctor.
If Chuzhou has not changed, these two people will come to the prefecture yard in person and the prefect will also welcome him.
But now half of the young man stood at the door, and he didn't look different when he saw the two of them.
The two old men looked ordinary, and the children and grandchildren following behind were different.
The Song family’s children and grandchildren are all fine, but the Wu family’s faces are drooping.
Too sir!
Huo Bao looked at the two families and was surprised.
Mr. Wu, an old juren who was awarded the title of the title, actually calmly joined Xiao Jiuqing in resignation. Isn’t it said that scholars are the most rules?
However, this old man Song looked calm and composed, with a bit of temperament.
When the two of them approached their house, Mr. Wu's eyes fell on Huo Bao's mace bag, and his brows frowned slightly, obviously not happy with his inappropriate outfit.
Mr. Song also saw Huo Bao's mace bag and said curiously: "I heard that the young master was using the soldiers of Wu Lie. I wonder if I will meet you at first?"
Wu Lie was the posthumous title of the fifth general by Emperor Gaozong of this dynasty.
Seeing the curiosity in the old man's eyes unblocked, Huo Bao pulled out the purple gold mace.
interesting!
Listen to it?
Those who know that Huo Bao uses the purple gold mace are either their child soldiers or are all in Quyang, and not many people know about it even in Binjiang.
Where can I hear it in the prefecture?
This is a person with a heart!
Seeing Huo Bao holding his two maces in his hand lightly, the old man sincerely praised: "Young Master's strength is indeed extraordinary! The remaining soldiers of Mr. Wu Lie will never be buried!"
Duke Wu Lie?
Purple gold mace?
Both families looked at their eyes.
The difference is that when the Song family saw the purple gold mace clearly, their faces became more solemn.
The fifth general is from Chuzhou. He has been living in the city for 70 years, but everyone has grown up by listening to his deeds, and still cannot hide his respect.
The Wu family was questioning, and they just said that they would just talk about the purple gold mace when they took the copper mace. Who should they fool?
Since the fifth general died in the city, his weapons have disappeared. There are rumors that he was taken into the inner treasury by Emperor Taizu of this dynasty. Regardless of whether it is true or false, it has not been released for seventy years.
How do you say it out?
