Chapter 752: The Lucky Minister
Chapter 752: The Lucky Minister
"Captain Liang Heng, it's hot during the dog days of summer and you're sweating like rain. You should pay more attention to washing and changing your clothes on a daily basis. It's okay if you smell, but it's your fault if you stink others when you go out." Bai Yinbin said earnestly.
"Get lost! I go down three times a day and the water is cleaner than all of you put together!"
"A Shui, don't be stubborn. You can't smell this stuff, but others can smell it clearly. It's time to go take a shower. Behind the government office is our big bathhouse. It has been built for half a year. Go quickly." Ran Zhongshi urged.
"I'll ask someone to change the water." Ran Ying raised her hand.
"Are you done yet? Are you going to eat it or not? Freshly baked pastries can't stop you from eating, right?"
"I won't eat it. It's all rotten and sour. It doesn't taste good."
Xiang Fangsu stuffed a few into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks, and pushed the empty box forward.
Liang Qu didn't bother to pay attention and looked at the stunned Ke Wenbin: "Why don't you eat? What, are you jealous even though you're engaged? Are you looking at the pot instead of the bowl?"
Ke Wenbin held the crystal cake and sighed: "My wife may have found it, but how could it be a master?"
Got it!
"A water!"
Liang Qu looked up, and saw the mixed light and shadows, but he saw Xu Yuelong lying on the stair railing, and asked what was going on.
"How old is the eldest elder's granddaughter this year?"
A little recollection.
"Early 30s."
Xu Yuelong gave a thumbs up: "You know how to eat, kid! You like big ones, right?"
The crowd roared with laughter.
"Dragon people have long lifespans, almost the same as me!" Liang Qugeng emphasized with his neck stretched out.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's about right. Bring me a box of pastries. I want to taste whether they are rotten or not!"
"They are sending them off!" Liang Qu looked around and saw Chen Jiechang in the crowd, "Jiechang! Where are Libo and Songbao?"
"Helping out at the martial arts gym."
"Never mind that for now. Please help me." Liang Qu carried a pile of cake boxes. "Send one box to each study on the second and third floors. Take a few more for yourself at the end. Deliver them to their homes after leaving the government office. Also, send them to the homes of Chen Xianglao and Uncle Chen."
"Delivering to the upstairs too?" Chen Jiechang looked up.
The two factions of Xu and Wei in Hebo are clearly divided, one left and one right, and everyone knows it.
“All for free!”
"Row!"
Wei Shao, who had noticed the commotion downstairs early on, did not expect that he and others would also be involved.
Liang Qu turned around and called out to the gathered river officials and river officers: "Come on, everyone! Don't be polite today! Everyone has a share!"
"Don't be shy. Lieutenant Liang Heng has found his wife. Come and eat the wedding cakes!" Ran Zhongshi made way and opened the box.
"There will be no fire in the government office at noon. Eat until you are full. If it is not enough, ask Sir Liang to buy more!"
"it is good!"
"Master Liang is so generous!"
"I wish Sir Liang a son soon! Auspicious signs of dragon and phoenix!"
"What do you mean early? I didn't plan to ask for it! Change the word! Change the word!"
"Um... forever! Yes, forever!"
The entire riverside area was noisy and everyone gathered around, and it became extremely lively in an instant.
Many minor clerks ran out to call their colleagues who were taking over their shifts.
As a clerk, one does not get much money every month. Some of them even work as laborers because they are in debt. They have to spend every penny carefully and cannot afford such expensive things on a daily basis.
Top floor.
Liang Qu held the box and put it on the table.
"Uncle! Did you hear everything that happened downstairs?"
"Hmm." Su Guishan put down the small teapot and opened the square box. "Are you here to ask for betrothal gifts and gifts? Have you set a date? If you have, I will arrange it and submit a letter to the capital immediately!"
"No hurry, no hurry, prepare first." Liang Qu grinned and ran to pour tea for Su Guishan. "I don't want to get married so early. I told Master and Master's wife the same thing. Today I am telling you this good news. It's an important event in life, so how can a young person not discuss it with the elders?"
Dowry and bride price.
The dragon man said no, and Liang Qu was the first to disagree.
Not only do you have to have it, you have to have more of it!
Why not use the public funds? Besides, E-Ying will definitely give it to him.
"Oh, you are quite good at talking, no wonder you were able to deceive the Dragon Princess. Asking the court for money is not enough, and you are thinking of taking some from me? You are so pitiful. I have a big beard, and I am teaching this kid to suck my marrow out of me."
"How can that be possible? I am not Yuan Yuwen who goes back on his word. Until now, Yuan Yang has not been lost. I have exchanged my sincerity for your sincerity. If you can sit down and have a drink in the future, it will be a great honor for me!"
"Alright, your matter is not a small matter, it concerns the exchanges between the two tribes. I have to write a letter to the court, so please don't disturb me."
"Uncle, you are busy. Eat the cakes while they are hot. They are freshly baked and smell good!"
Su Guishan waved.
Liang Qu said nothing, stepped back, closed the door, stretched himself lazily, and felt happy and excited.
OK!
Five hundred cakes are not cheap.
Today's big fuss was because, on the one hand, he was really happy and just wanted to tell everyone quickly that their relationship had been vague before, but now that it was made clear, he felt quite possessive, and on the other hand, he also wanted to cover it up.
He was so close to the dragon people that most of them were under his command. Although he always had the excuse of "saving his life", it was just empty words and no one could witness it.
Now this new relationship is very solid.
Since you are an official, why don’t you look for your “relatives”?
From now on, many things will have a source.
……
In the pond, large clumps of ink were flowing.
The old giant clam moved away.
The fat catfish curled its fins and knocked on the hole to widen it by three points, trying to get in, but failed every time.
too big.
“Can’t Move” could at least stick half of its head out into the pond, but the fat catfish’s head was a circle bigger than “Can’t Move”’s, so not even half of it could squeeze in.
If you forcibly drill further, the entire bottom of the pool will be covered with dark holes, which will inevitably destroy its beauty.
The fat catfish felt lost for a while when he thought that he could no longer serve the gods. He shook his fins and turned around, continuing to expand the underground river as the gods instructed.
The little mirage dragon lay on the pavilion and stuck its head out, looking at the fat catfish's departing back. Worriedly, it grabbed the dragon horns on its head and turned around in circles.
"It's over."
How come after carrying the gods on his back, he came back so big?
This fat guy is really a lucky minister! A treacherous eunuch!
I don’t know what kind of luck I have!
We laughed at it before it evolved, but now that it has evolved, it dares not even think about what it can do!
"I hope Fatty doesn't hold a grudge."
The little mirage dragon looked up at the sky and clasped its claws together.
The days before the harvest are the most difficult, full of pure waiting.
The cocoon was still brewing, the golden light continued to spread, and the [sun] itself did not decay at all, as if it was simply shining everywhere, almost turning into a completely golden cocoon.
In addition, Liang Qu went to the dragon tribe's territory three times a day, morning, noon and night without fail. He even built a vortex waterway between the dragon tribe's territory and the frog tribe. Those who didn't know would think he went to the cafeteria every day.
During this period, the fat catfish ran back and forth, and asked the Toad King who had just woken up to capture some strong men. Before completing the underground river, he built a cave for the toads first.
The fat catfish waved its long whiskers, spreading the black ink to soak everything, and asked the toad what he wanted.
The toad flexed its claws and said seriously, "Golden and magnificent."
The fat catfish pondered for a while and patted his chest.
Mid-September.
The weather was no longer hot. Liang Qu sat on the second floor. The dates between the trees were spreading red spots. Outside the branches was the street. With a slight wave of his hand, the branches passed through the window and dropped a few dates onto the plate.
"Why is E-Ying still not well?"
Liang Qu munched on the dates without any interest. He just felt that the chair he was used to lying on was uncomfortable and not soft at all.
"Boss! Boss! Don't sleep, don't sleep!" The little mirage dragon flew in the air.
Liang Qu turned over and sat up.
"What's the hurry?"
"The Time Bug is moving! It's been moving for a while! It looks like it's about to break out of its cocoon!"
