Chapter 003 Blue and white winding lotus pattern gourd bottle

After socializing, Lin Zimo returned to the back hall of the government office. On the wine table, he had a preliminary understanding of the characters in Heping South City. Some of them were slightly drunk. As soon as he sat on the armchair to rest, Ji Xiaojuan brought him the Longjing before soaking in the rain. She paid great attention to Lin Zimo's preferences and specially picked dew to make tea for him.

His buttocks are not hot yet, and some of the officials in Guiping City who are eager to give gifts can't wait. One by one, it makes it up and down, inside and outside in a hurry. I didn't refuse, but accepted them all according to the order. I didn't forget that the officials who gave gifts talked about their "hearts" and communicated with them. By the way, they beat them well to make them afraid.

Lin Zimo is very clear that in addition to stabilizing the Xunzhou government, his duty is to cooperate with the imperial army to suppress the rebellion. After all, this has already been mentioned by Han Yong. It's nothing to receive a little filial piety below, and the buttocks of the Ming officials in the world are still clean and are about to be found. He doesn't want his colleagues to feel that they are special and very personable, believing that this muddy water can nourish the muddy fish. As long as you don't feel dizzy, you can still do practical things up and down, even if you can hold the black gauze hat on your head.

Lin Zimo did not intend to punish them. After all, the mistakes made by the former magistrate were not directly related to them, and it was also wronged to be "sit" by others. For the sake of stability and unity in the city, I have the right to put it down and not mention it. I want to see their respective future performance. He doesn't like the three fires of new officials to take office, which makes him restless inside and outside. However, his subordinates will not think like him. Only when they see their boss accept their gifts will they feel at ease, otherwise they will turn around like ants on a hot pot.

Lin Zimo met several colleagues who sent gifts in a row. Suddenly, he felt a little tired, so he stretched out and said to Ji Xiaojuan disapprovingly, "If there is something you like here, just pick a few to play."

Ji Xiaojuan was shocked, and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks in an instant. After all, only two husbands are qualified for this privilege and treatment. If she can also choose the objects here at will, does that mean that the master has some kind of recognition of herself? Ji Xiaojuan's heart beats very fast, and the more she thinks about it, the more she wants to go in the deep and expected direction all the way.

Yang Mengqi, who had free time, knew that there were no outsiders, suddenly walked out and saw the gifts all over the house. She knew that the whole world was playing this set, but didn't pay attention to these things outside her body. She cared about Lin Zimo's health and said, "It's getting late. It's better to rest early. Don't work too hard. You are exhausted. You must have a lot of things to do in the future.

Lin Zimo, who bowed her head and looked at her, suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that my wife can't wait to rest with you for her husband. The night is long, and we have a lot of time. You and I are more affectionate.

As soon as he said this, he immediately made Yang Mengqi, who was nod and lowered his eyebrows, blushed. She bit her lower lip and didn't know what to do for a moment. After all, Cai Yue and Ji Xiaojuan were still standing in the lobby. The two little girl, who had begun to understand, understood the meaning of her master's words, so they couldn't help laughing secretly. For Yang Mengqi, Lin Zimo's words were really "abominable", which not only made her feel shy, but also gave her an impulse to give her two times.

Lin Zimo yawned and inadvertently saw a blue and white lotus pattern gourd bottle in his eyes. When he got up, he looked a little excited and walked straight over. Standing in front of it, he looked carefully and found that the bottle was about 40 centimeters high, five or six centimeters in diameter, and sixteen or seven centimeters in diameter.

It is gourd-style, with small mouth, waist tie, double spherical abdomen and round feet. There is no glazed tire in the circle foot. The whole body is decorated with blue and white, and the blue and white are gray in blue. The upper and lower abdomen are painted with lotus patterns, the mouth is painted with echo lines and covered with lotus petals, the waist is painted with lotus petals and deformed lotus petals, and near the bottom is painted with Ruyi cloud head patterns. The shape is beautiful, the upper and lower proportions are coordinated, the lines are natural and smooth, and the blue and white hair color is light and elegant. Gourd is related to Taoism. The lotus flower is a Buddhist holy flower. The lotus flower painted on the gourd bottle is the embodiment of the unity of Buddha and Taoism at the time of adulthood, so the artistic and cultural value is extremely high.

Lin Zimo, who was thoughtful, received this item exactly the same as the blue and white lotus-patterned gourd bottle he had seen in the Forbidden City. I also know that this bottle is not for civilian use, but palace porcelain. This kind of large object can flow out of the Chenghua court of the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to show that internal and external collusion and corruption have been very serious.

Yang Mengqi noticed that he was silent for a long time, only staring at the blue and white porcelain, and asked strangely, "Fair, is this blue and white porcelain gourd bottle so beautiful? The slave family really doesn't know much, or you can tell me about it.

Lin Zimo, who recovered a little, naturally won't make her feel strange to know that this kind of thing is produced in this era, and the palace royal porcelain is not necessarily all better than the blue and white porcelain used by the people, and the artistic and cultural value is high. He thought more than anything else in his mind, and he knew that the pace of the Ming Dynasty was accelerating. If measures are not taken to stop it, I'm afraid that more people will suffer.

Lin Zimo, who didn't say what he was thinking, replied with a faint smile, "I'm thinking that it would be very good to put this blue and white lotus-patterned gourd bottle in our room. After all, the gourd is homophonic as Fulu."

Yang Mengqi, who didn't think about it, just approached him and looked at the gourd bottle placed on the ground. He really didn't feel so strange. He laughed and said, "I look more and more like an official fan."

Lin Zimo, who sat back on the circle chair, took a sip of tea and shouted with a smile, "Madam, do you really want to wait for the magistrate to go to the room with you to rest? The problem is that the magistrate is considering whether to sit here for a while or go to sleep with the little girl Chu Hanlu.

Knowing that Yang Mengqi was deliberately teasing himself, he showed a light look and said, "If you want to stay here for a while, I will accompany you." If you want to go to your sister's place to rest, the slave family will send you there.

Lin Zimo, with a smile, casually said 'the wife is virtuous'. Seeing that Ji Xiaojuan had not yet started to choose, he reminded again, "Didn't I let you choose what you like? You can choose whatever you want.

"None of the two ladies have chosen yet, so how can I do it?" Ji Xiaojuan, who knows the rules very well, is embarrassed.

Lin Zimo suddenly realized and said in a self-reproachful tone: "It was my negligence. Then ask your wife to choose first!"

"Let our daughter choose first, and the slave family still chooses last." Yang Mengqi, who was very generous, really didn't like these things outside his body and said, "If your father-in-law wants to reward Ji Xiaojuan with a few things, I have no objection. She deserves to be rewarded for serving you so attentively.

Lin Zimo, who was in good spirits, suddenly had a strange idea and decided to come to the family for part of the stolen goods. He thought it was interesting, so he ordered Ji Xiaojuan to invite Chu Hanlu and others to participate in this " grand event". After receiving the errand, she turned around and went to the inner courtyard to find the second lady. Chu Hanlu, who had just fallen asleep, was reluctant to go, but as soon as she heard Ji Xiaojuan say that there was something good to take, she immediately came to her senses and put on her clothes and ran to the hall first for fear that she would run slowly. Cailian, who was still holding a cloak in her hand, was afraid that she would catch a cold and hurriedly followed her out.

Lin Zimo, who was sitting on the chair, saw that she was so positive, so he joked, "There is nothing delicious here. What are you doing here? Now that you have fallen asleep, lie down well. How boring it is to come here without your favorite food and not running for nothing.

Chu Hanlu, who pretended not to hear, was all focused on the room full of novel objects. He had not fully woken up. He yawned several times and once again said without going through his brain: "When I entered the city today, I saw a lot of people who came to flatter Brother Mo. It's good to be an official, and there are often people queuing up to deliver things. Oh... In the future, there should be days when we can't let go of things sent by others.

Yang Mengqi sank his face and scolded, "Dead girl, don't talk nonsense. Our father-in-law is a good official loved by the people. And when you say it from your mouth, how did you become a corrupt official? If you talk nonsense like this again, I will really use the family method to deal with you.

Chu Hanlu, who didn't care at all, pouted and sat down, seeking self-comfort and said, "They are not wrong."

Seeing that there were no outsiders here, and he was not afraid that someone would betray himself, he revealed some mystery and said in a self-deprecating tone, "You are not wrong. I am a corrupt official, but I am also a good official. I don't want to take a penny from the common people, but I like to beat officials and large families.

"Fare, you can spoil her like this! One day, she will be lawless and make a big deal to you. Yang Mengqi, who was a good-hearted reminder, said seriously, "If you ask her, who are you afraid of?"

"They are afraid of you." Chu Hanlu, who pouted his little mouth, hurriedly grabbed the words and said, "You are not afraid of anyone."

"Oak, don't make any more noise. Except for the blue and white lotus pattern gourd bottle left to me, the rest is yours. Lin Zimo, who put down the tea in his hand, put his fingers on a few sets of ordinary gold and silver jewelry not far away and said, "Pray the moon, pick lotus, pick stars, and the rest are all Ji Xiaojuan's."
