In the open space in front of the post station, there was a lot of noise, and the old men made a real noise and almost fought.
Du Shao's eyes never left Cheng Mo, and when he saw him enter the house, he hurriedly prepared hot tea, waited for him to sit down in the chair, and hurriedly brought it up, saying, "Prime Minister, please drink tea." ” Cheng Mo glanced at him, this glance made Du Shao's heart tremble, if he hadn't handed over the news, how could Cheng Mo be blocked here by the gentry Cheng Mo took the teacup and put it on the table, and said, "You go to mediate." ” "No."
This is a test of his ability to do things, how dare Du Shao bow his head and salute what he said.
Cheng Mo drank tea slowly, listening to the louder noise outside, and slowly lowered, and in less than half an hour, Du Shao, Yang Yin, Yang Chang, Zhao Zhen and a few old men came in and saluted together.
Du Shao said: "Prime Minister, the gentry all said that the Prime Minister took the time to come, which was the luck of the people of Hongnong, and they should do their best to be a landlord, and wanted to prepare thin wine, so please appreciate the face."
With their consent, the lower officials gave twenty taels of silver each, and set up a banquet at the post station, which was prepared by the lower officials, and invited the prime minister in the evening. ” I can't see that Du Shao is quite good at doing things and is a co-ordinating talent.
Cheng Mo felt that it was right to recommend him to Wu Yuan.
Yang Yin, Yang Chang, Zhao Zhen and others followed closely and said: "Please also appreciate the face." ” The people who run restaurants in the family all want to invite Cheng Mo to their restaurant to sit and have a glass of wine.
The people present monopolized all the restaurants in Hongnong, and no one refused to give in, and almost fought.
The family did not open a restaurant, and they refused to fall into the hands of these people in vain, and the quarrel became even more fierce.
The old men fought hard and worked hard, if Du Shao hadn't come out in time, I was afraid that someone would have died.
Du Shao pulled the tiger skin to make a big banner and said: "Everyone, it is rare for Hongnong to come to such a nobleman, everyone thinks about how to make the nobleman happy, the quarrel is like this, the nobleman does not say it, how will he look at you in his heart" One sentence calmed the old men, and then put forward suggestions for dealing with them.
The family owner of the restaurant refused to give the benefits to the post station, but most of the people couldn't agree to it.
Cheng Mo asked them to sit down and said, "I was just passing by here, and I was going to stay for one night and leave, but you also saw that my luggage was loaded into the car." ” "Yes, yes, we all know that the prime minister loves the people like a son."
Yang Chang hurriedly said: "The prime minister's reputation is spread all over the world, and the new peace of the Huns, for the country's great merit, I don't know how many people want to see the prime minister's true face, I wait for the blessings of the previous life, only have this opportunity, but also ask the prime minister to look forward to my heart, let me wait for the friendship of the landlord." ” Zhao Zhen snorted and said with tears: "Prime Minister, you are the Huns for the country, you have made official hats and chairs for the people, and you have made great contributions to the country and the people. ” Yang Yin felt a chill in his heart, what kind of virtue did Zhao Zhen have, how could he not know that this kid valued his life more than anything else, how could he eat so fat if he didn't spare his life Cheng Mo smiled and said: "The villagers are so loving, I will stay for a light meal, stay for another night, and start the Ming and Qing dynasties."
He said to Du Shao: "Don't be extravagant." ” Saying all this is just to get out tomorrow.
Yang Yin, Yang Chang, Zhao Zhen and others nodded in agreement, they had already handed over the silver to Du Shao, and Du Shao sent a post guard to buy vegetables and vegetables.
Although Cheng Mo said not to be extravagant, Du Shao also agreed, but how could it be really simple Cheng Mo asked the gentry to come in and speak, and forty or fifty people crowded the hall, many of whom had no chairs, and sat on the small pestle, as if sitting in heaven.
The gentry are nothing more than the following mentality, one is to be able to sit with the current celebrities, former prime ministers, and current princes, even if there are many people, they can only sit at the door, it is extremely glorious; second, you can mention it in front of your children and grandchildren, you have talked with Prime Minister Cheng Cheng, and you can go outside to brag about what Prime Minister Cheng has said; The third is like Yang Chang, who wants to be familiar with each other and build a good network for the reading seeds in the family.
No matter what the purpose is, Cheng Mo treats everyone equally, his face is like a spring breeze, and he listens carefully to everyone's words.
He sat lazily, occasionally taking a sip from his teacup, but saying very little.
In winter, it gets dark early, and before the end of the day, the sky is already dark, and the maid comes in to light the lamp, and Du Shao follows in, saying that the banquet has been prepared, and the prime minister and the gentry are invited to the banquet.
Yang Yin was dissatisfied, and whispered to Du Shao: "Why should Du Yicheng be in a hurry, it is still early, and it is not too late to talk about it for another hour." ” Zhao Zhen rarely agreed with Yang Yin, and said: "I waited for a few lifetimes of blessings before I was able to listen to the lessons of the prime minister, how could I sit down so quickly?"
They all knew that after the banquet was dispersed, there would be no chance to see Cheng Mo, Cheng Mo was in the center of power, even if he said a word, it was a big deal, and they all had their children participating or planning to participate in the imperial examination and take the official career.
It's you who are clamoring to invite the prime minister, and now you're not in a hurry to eat, you old men are too difficult.
Du Shao slandered, looked at Cheng Mo, and said, "Please show the prime minister." ” Cheng Mo was very satisfied that he was so well-behaved, and said with a smile: "Since the banquet is complete, let's talk while eating." ” When he spoke, the gentry naturally obeyed, and everyone nodded yes and got up one after another.
Among the people present, Cheng Mo was the most noble, but he was also the youngest, and Yang Yin was the oldest.
Yang Yin was one step behind him, and when he saw Yang Yin holding a cane, trembling, and looking like he would fall down at any time, he stopped and waited for him, stretched out his hand to help him, and was so frightened that the crutches in Yang Yin's hand almost fell to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "It's a little old man." ” Yang Chang also said: "The prime minister must not, how can my father afford it" The gentry were envious, jealous and hateful, and Zhao Zhen was even more eager to squeeze to Cheng Mo's side, and also let Cheng Mo make a move to help each other.
Cheng Mo's identity doesn't matter if he is really helping or pretending, as long as he stretches out his hand, this matter is enough to be recorded in the family tree, and his children and grandchildren can talk about today's grand occasion.
Yang Yin obviously thought of this too, his shriveled mouth was almost to the root of his ears, and he glanced at Zhao Zhen triumphantly, so angry that Zhao Zhen wanted to hit the wall.
Cheng Mo saw all the small movements of the two of them, and felt in his heart, he was in a high position, and his every move was interpreted by others, he was just a gesture, and in the eyes of the gentry, it was very different.
Du Shao is very effective, the banquet is set up in the courtyard next door, for the sake of fairness, specially let people set up a shed in the courtyard, the charcoal pot is burning vigorously, five large tables are placed in the courtyard, one is in the middle, a Taishi chair is in the center, and the other four tables are opposite each other.
The Wu Dynasty used to implement the food sharing system, each person had a low table, since the official hat chair and the Eight Immortals table became popular, some people began to use the Eight Immortals Table when the family banquet guests, and it began to take on the appearance of modern banquet guests.
In order to avoid disputes among the gentry, Du Shao used the Eight Immortals table, but what he didn't expect was that the gentry quarreled again in order to eat at the same table with Cheng Mo. t1706231537:
