Another servant looked at Zhang Ping: "The young master is also from Fengle County?"

It's not true now, but it will be there in two days. Zhang Ping nodded.

The servant bowed and said, "The old man from the family is kind and generous, and he has made many friends. He cannot recognize the young guests who often come and go, so don't be surprised."

Zhang Ping held his oranges in both hands: "Why did the old man pass suddenly pass? It's really shocking and sad."

The servant choked up and said, "The official is not very tough on weekdays. These days, because... I felt a little uncomfortable last evening. Who would have thought it would be..."

The orange seller sighed, "Oh, people of older age often leave as soon as they say they are sad. This way of walking is considered a blessing."

Zhang Ping said: "I was not suitable for a certain dress and was not suitable for condolences. Can I inform you of my address?" He then sent the orange forward.

The servant hurriedly said, "The young master of the Dai family thanked the young master for his wishes, but the young man dared not accept it without permission." Then he told Zhang Ping the address.

Zhang Ping carried the oranges and continued to go to the restaurant. Because Yuanzi had just given Yao Yuanwai's family a while ago, it was not good to give it to Liu Tongyi, so he called some other fruits. When he arrived at the restaurant, Liu Tongyi had already arrived. When he saw Zhang Ping, he immediately said, "Oh, Brother Zhang, why are you so polite? I won't dare to have dinner with you next time." Xiao Xiao asked Zhang Ping to sit down and signaled to the guy to serve the food.

Zhang Ping sat down, and Liu Tongyi saw him put the basket of oranges he was carrying at his feet and said, "Brother Zhang is going to visit the prefect in the afternoon?"

Zhang Ping said: "The Ministry of Personnel will send me to Jingzhao Prefecture to pay a visit tomorrow."

Liu Tongyi said, "Brother Zhang, don't submit a post first?" Seeing Zhang Ping's answer just now, he knew that he really didn't understand the rationality. He also understood Zhang Ping's temper, so he smiled again and said directly, "There is more complicated in the capital. Before the official visit is officially received by the government office, you may go to the master's house to submit a post to inform him."

This time, the presentation of the gift is a greeting. The gift cannot reach the adults. It is a little information to the family members from the gatehouse to the receptionist. Let the adults and the family members of the mansion know that there is a person like you.

"Then the official office will officially visit you. When you leave Beijing, you can say goodbye."

Liu Tongyi only said three bows, which was the simplest number of times she paid homage to Shangguan.

The time when the official office visited was an inevitable process stipulated by the court, it was just a formality. Visiting the residence was the most important thing, which was related to Lord Shangguan’s opinion and attitude. What gifts were given, the words and words of the posts, and the words and words were all crucial. Many officials would call their staff to participate in the details, for fear of mistakes.

Lan Jue originally planned to tell Zhang Ping this, but when he thought about Feng Tai's temper and Zhang Ping's temperament, he felt that Zhang Pingzhao would not follow the rules, and the result should be similar, so he did not meddle in other people's business anymore.

After hearing Liu Tongyi say it, Zhang Ping frowned.

Liu Tongyi smiled and said, "There is nothing to do in the yamen in the afternoon. After dinner, I can go back with Brother Zhang." In fact, after he returned to Dali Temple in the morning, he told Deng Xu about meeting Zhang Ping. Although he only mentioned that he met Zhang Ping by the way, he did not mention the inviting Zhang Ping to drink or stay in his place. However, when Deng Xu heard Liu Tongyi say that he met Zhang Ping at the door, he entered the yamen, and immediately understood, and said, "This kid is really a treasure under Lao Tao. He will always meet in the future. Some places are a little stunned, but they are assigned to Lao Feng. By the way, there should be nothing to do in the yamen in the afternoon, so you don't have to come here. Don't remember the fake."

Liu Tongyi smiled and said, "Thank you, sir." She didn't say more.

Zhang Ping thanked Liu Tongyi. After dinner, the two of them returned to Liu Tongyi's house together. Zhang Ping didn't talk much in the car, and his eyes were often stiff outside the window or somewhere. Liu Tongyi thought he was thinking about sending greetings and gifts to Feng Tai's mansion later, so he just pretended not to pay attention.

After a while, when I arrived at Liu Tongyi's small house, the door was opened in a long alley, which was in the style of Jiangnan garden, which was quiet and elegant. Many flowers and trees in the courtyard were all green and lush.

Zhang Ping had no time to look at her. Liu Tongyi wanted to go to the small hall of the inner garden and have tea and chat for a while, but when she saw Zhang Ping's expression, she led Zhang Ping to the wing room first.

As he went to the inner courtyard, Zhang Ping's eyes were still straight, and suddenly flashed, his expression turned firm, as if he had made some major decision. Liu Tongyi stopped in the corridor: "Brother Zhang asked Quan to rest. If you have any questions, just ask the servants."

Zhang Ping nodded, bowed to thank him, and plunged into the room with the orange, and closed the door.

Liu Tongyi turned back to the bedroom next to her to change her clothes. After a while, she heard the sound of the door next door, and went out to the porch. She saw Zhang Ping wearing a plain clothes that was like a funeral, and she was still holding the basket of oranges in her hand, with a solemn look on her face.

Liu Tongyi said tactfully: "Brother Zhang is going out?"

Zhang Ping said: "Go to Shuangcheng Street and hang paper."

Liu Tongyi was stunned: "Brother Zhang has an old friend passed away?"

Zhang Ping frowned: "I actually don't recognize it, but I want to go and have a look."

Liu Tongyi showed a puzzled expression, and Zhang Ping said truthfully: "I feel dead a little sudden."

According to the news he heard in Fengle County, Yao Yuanwai's trip to the capital may have felt ashamed of Xie Magistrate Xie and wanted to plead for Xie Magistrate Xie in front of Feng Fuyin.

He died as soon as he arrived in the capital...

Zhang Ping thought it would be better to go and take a look. He might see the body while the afternoon passes. It may not be possible to see tomorrow.

Moreover, tomorrow morning, people from the Ministry of Personnel will take him to Jingzhao Prefecture to pay homage to Fengfu Yin, and may have to leave immediately in the afternoon to take office in Fengle County. Maybe there will be others following you, and you may not be able to get free.

Only this afternoon.

Shuangcheng Street is too far away from Feng Fuyin's mansion. It is not appropriate to visit Feng Fuyin for the first time. If the afternoon passes, it will be too late to pay tribute to you in the evening or at night. Yao Junwai's family may not be welcomed. Even if it is received, they can only leave after incense and cannot stay for too long.

Zhang Ping hesitated for a long time and chose to go to Shuangcheng Street. Anyway, he would have to pay a visit to Lord Feng tomorrow, so it would be fine if he didn't go today.

Liu Tongyi's eyes lit up: "Brother Zhang suspected that there was something wrong with the cause of death?"

Zhang Ping said: "I just feel suddenly. I have to know more to judge others."

Liu Tongyi pondered for a moment: "Brother Zhang, don't blame me for being troubled. It would be better for Lord Feng to submit a post to visit him first. Lord Feng must be in the government office at this time. Brother Zhang handed the post to the doorman and submitted it to the door. It won't take long. It's time to turn back to Shuangcheng Street to pay condolences. Brother Zhang can change his clothes in the car. If you are afraid that you can't prepare the gift, don't worry, I'll help Brother Zhang prepare it here."

Zhang Ping immediately bowed: "Thank you."

Liu Tongyi smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you have to be polite." His eyes were shining, "After you said this, I'm a little curious. I want to go to pay my respects with you, don't know if it's possible?"

Zhang Ping looked up at him.

Liu Tongyi is from Dali Temple. If you go together...

Liu Tongyi said again: "I am just curious and have no other intentions. I took the initiative to mention it, hoping that it would not cause trouble for Brother Zhang. If it is inconvenient, then forget it."

Zhang Ping looked at him again and nodded.

Liu Tongyi said happily: "Thank you." He immediately ordered the carriage and horses to prepare, and Zhang Ping and each tied back to the room to change their clothes.

Zhang Ping hurriedly changed his clothes again. Liu Tong leaned against the man and sent a pen, ink and paper, and said to Zhang Ping: "Brother Zhang, either the condolence gifts are prepared by me. Brother Zhang, go to Master Feng's mansion first, and I will wait for you at the west entrance of Shuangcheng Street. Then you and I will go back, so it will be faster."

Zhang Ping nodded: "Okay." He hurriedly wrote the greeting book. Liu's servant had already prepared a gift box for him and placed it in the car. The coachman rushed to Feng Fuyin's mansion. Zhang Ping handed the greeting book and the gift box to the doorman. The doorman took it politely, but asked Zhang Ping to wait. Zhang Ping had to wait. Just as he was thinking about whether it was not good to leave for a while, the doorman came back in the blink of an eye. He bowed politely, and the prefect was still in the yamen and had not returned to the house. He would definitely submit it after returning to the house.

Zhang Ping breathed a sigh of relief and quickly climbed back to the carriage.

The doorman looked at the back of the carriage, thinking, "I don't know which adult man is going to give favors to, but he ran so fast. He returned to the house and picked up the prayer letter and said to the door: "Tell me, the new magistrate of Zhang, from Fengle County, has just come to pay my respects."

The door received the prayer letter, and then transferred to the middle courtyard and then to the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard went to the study door, and served with the servant who was waiting in front of the door.

The servant took it and knocked on the door.

Because Feng Tai is not in the yamen, he is in the mansion at this time.

The servant told the magistrate Zhang of Fengle County to come to worship, and Feng Tai raised his eyes from the letter.

The emperor stuffed Tao Zhoufeng's beloved disciple to comfort him and establish a friendship with the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice's eyeliner implies that Feng Tai would not lead his subordinates? Haha~~ But a small soldier cannot bear to take it seriously.

However, this morning, the Ministry of Personnel has sent someone to inform the person about his arrival in Beijing.

Then, at least I arrived in the capital yesterday.

Well, I haven't seen a post-trip. I deliberately made some lonely gestures and claimed to be noble. I thought this would leave a deep impression on Shangguan. Haha~~ So that's what it means to be wit.

"Master, Magistrate Zhang of Fengle County is here to pay homage."

Feng Tai raised his eyebrows slightly and took Zhang Ping's greeting.

Well, come first to worship? It is so vulgar? It is exactly the same as seeking fame and fame to flatter flatterers. Haha~ Tao Zhoufeng loves his disciples, but that's it.

Feng Tai glanced at the prayer post and threw it to the corner of the case: "This person is outside the door?"

The servant bowed: "Yes." He raised his eyes and peeked at Feng Tai, "But I have to take him with me..."

Feng Tai lowered his eyes: "Forget it, I just say that our mansion is still in the yamen."

The servant breathed a sigh of relief and left the study room.

The carriage was galloping fast, Zhang Ping changed his clothes in the car, rushed to Shuangcheng Street, and met Liu Tongyi. It was in the early days. The two of them took the car to Yinan Lane. Many people looked around at the entrance of the alley, and saw a white cloth hanging high in front of the door. Whispering and crying came out, which must be the residence of the Yao family temporarily. Liu Tongyi and Zhang Ping walked outside the door and said to the servant in front of the door: "I heard that the immortal passing by, come to pay my condolences."

When the servant saw that the two of them were especially Liu Tongyi, he was not as elegant as he was, so he immediately invited him in.

The servants of Liuzhai, holding the mourning ceremony, followed him into the room.

The mourning ceremony was prepared in a hurry by Liu Tongyi. In his opinion, it was very simple. This simple ceremony was compared to the usual etiquette of mourning and communion in the Taifu Mansion. The servants held elegy couplets and boxes entered in, which was so shocked that the servants of the Yao family rushed to report. When Mr. Yao heard the name of Zhang Ping in Fengle County, they felt that the two words Zhang Ping sounded familiar, but the wealthy families who had been in contact with each other seemed to have no surname Zhang. When they had no time to think about it, they were stunned for a moment when they saw two young and strange faces.

The spirit shed has been set up, and Mr. Yao has been moved in. Zhang Ping and Liu Tong leaned against the spirit shed to burn incense. After the filial son gave the gift of thanking guests, Zhang Ping said: "The old man suddenly left the immortal, which is sad and surprising."

The eldest son said hoarsely: "If the children and grandchildren are not filial, they will be able to be filial to him before they can be filial to him, so..." At this point, tears burst out.

Zhang Ping said solemnly: "What's the disease?"

The second son cried and said, "The doctor said it was a stroke and heart blocked..."

Liu Tongyi comforted her: "The official has already reached the Pure Land, but please feel sorry for me."

After thanking me a few more times, Zhang Ping bowed again, "I have a reluctant request, maybe I will come in and pay my respects to the old man?"

Several sons were stunned again, and Liu Tongyi sighed: "The immortal is eternal bliss. He is in the mortal world, remembering his voice and appearance with fragrance, and worshiping him forever, and engraving his heart."

The filial sons' eyes became hot, and the eldest son of the Yao family bowed: "Please come in with the guest."
