Chapter 314 Big Fish (please collect)

The footsteps of the sedan chair suddenly accelerated. Wu Zhi knew that this was officially entering the lieutenant's mansion. This galloping was accompanied by some turns that made Wuzhi dizzy and finally unknown, and then stopped again, and the sedan chair was gently lowered.

"Wu Zhi, here we are." Gao Ming said outside.

This made Wuzhi a little surprised. In his impression, powerful people usually repair the house very large. According to the official position of lieutenant, there must be hundreds of mu in this mansion, but it is obviously impossible to carry a 100 mu manor from the back door to the center so quickly. However, because of Yu Saner's previous words, Wu Zhi instantly understood that in this capital, everything can't escape the word "system". It is estimated that the captain's mansion is also trapped in the system, and it is impossible to build too big.

"Lord Gao, I know." Wu Zhi replied. He originally wanted to call Gao Ming an outsider as before. In fact, when he called Gao Ming just now, he did not raise a rebuttal, but the key to the problem is that now that he has entered the lieutenant's mansion, it is impossible to pretend to be confused. It is obvious that a little lowering a person with an official eunuch * to call him an outsider. That's it.

(In ancient China, it was indeed an official position, such as Yuan Wailang, but in fact, it was not an authentic official position. In the vernacular novel Water Margin, the outsider has completely changed to the name of the landlord gentry. Although this article is based on the history of the Song Dynasty, it is born from the Water Margin, so the outsider is set as the landlord gentry.)

The curtain of the car was suddenly opened, and Wu Da also came out of it in a hurry. Although it was night, there were many lanterns hanging in the house, which also seemed to be brightly lit. Wu Da looked at the opinion and basically saw that this was the second yard coming in through the back door. In this way, it basically entered the core area of the house. If this is the case, the whole lieutenant's mansion is only about 50 mu, so Thinking about it, it's really shabby to be a lieutenant, but it's better for a rich man in the countryside to build a mansion of more than 100 mu at will. Wu Da laughed at the ignorance of the officials in the capital, but his face did not come out.

"Wu Zhi, what do you think we should do? Are you a cook or..." Gao Ming asked.

"I want to meet the old lady first. I believe that there will be no problem with the chef's skills. In addition, I don't specialize in cooking. When I chat with the chef in the lieutenant's mansion, I will definitely show my timidity. I guess they will look down on me and won't listen to me later. On the contrary, I think the old lady may be approachable. If you know what she thinks first, the following things will be much easier. Wu Zhi said.

"Well, I hope so. But I can tell you that this old lady is not easy to deal with, or it won't be so many people..." Gao Ming said that this suddenly stopped, and then he exhaled and continued, "It's nothing. Let's go to see the old lady first, but normally, at this time, it should be the lieutenant chatting with the old lady. At that time, if you can catch up, it will be very beneficial if you can make a good impression in front of the captain by the way. Gao Ming introduced it to Wuzhi.

"It all depends on the cultivation of high adults." Wu Zhi replied.

"It can't be done. You can't call me that anymore." Gao Ming waved his hand in a hurry: "It doesn't matter in front of the servants, but if you call me that in front of the old lady, I guess the old lady will be particularly angry. She hates what adults are called in front of her. Besides, to tell you the truth, I don't have a formal official position. It's extremely inappropriate to call me an adult. Gao Ming's previous words were serious, but the latter words seemed to be a kind of self-humility. It seemed that he also had infinite yearning for the official position.

"Where are you talking about? While there is no one, I will call you big brother, big brother. Have you heard of such a saying that it is called 'the seventh grade officer of the prime minister's doorman'? Your Excellency, you are the younger brother of the captain. Although there is no specific official position, it is better to have an official position than to be called an adult without making any mistakes. But what the eldest brother said is also right. What do you think I should call you in front of the old lady? Wu Zhi asked. Good words have been said, and the horses have also been photographed, but on practical issues, we must listen to smart judgments.

"Well." Gao Ming thought for a moment and then said, "In front of the captain and the old lady, you seem to call me nothing. Try to avoid calling me and don't show that you know my name. In this way, if you and I don't seem too familiar with each other, they will think that you come here with real skills, not by nepotism, and there will be more rewards. After saying that, Gao Ming nodded himself and was obviously very satisfied with this statement.

If something goes wrong, you can also push it clean. This is what Wu Zhi said in his heart. At this time, he felt more and more that he was a smart person, with a fat appearance, as if he was loyal and honest, but in fact, his ability to protect himself had been a little amazing. No wonder that people in this position would be difficult to get to this today without some smooth means. God.

"That's good. Don't worry, I will do what you say. Wuzhi is also obedient. From now on, he will oviate all the names of Gao Ming and pretend not to understand.

Gao Ming nodded. Come with me, let's go find the old lady."

So Gao Ming led the way in the front, followed by Wuzhi, surrounded by some servants with lanterns. These lanterns were very bright, and the yard was like day. Wuzhi thought about why candles could not emit such a bright light. It seemed that the lantern was not an ordinary thing. What the hell is in this? Wuzhi is really interested in making it happy.

"Speaking of which, the old lady still has a good impression on you people from the east. Don't forget to mention that you are from the east to make her have a good impression on you anyway." Gao Ming told him.

"But I don't know why I have a good impression?" Wuzhi felt that it was necessary to ask this clearly.

"Yeally, how do you know that there are so many things sent every year, and they are carefully selected, but it is really difficult to know which one you like. Let me tell you, it's this lantern, which the old lady loves very much. Gao Ming pointed to the hand of the subordinates next to him.

Wu Da thought back and forth in his mind that he did not remember that the east coast was good at making lanterns, but in the southeast, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was very good at this kind of work. No, now that this has been said, it is no longer just a matter of curiosity, but a matter of dialogue with the old lady in detail.

"You'd better be more detailed. In fact, I don't know much about what's being sent on the ground. As you know, this is my first time to the capital..." Wu Zhi said that he stopped, and he was afraid that something would be revealed.

"Yes, yes, it is impossible to know this if you are not a gift-giving official. However, you don't have to feel ashamed. After all, the most important gold is escorted by you personally, which shows that your benefactor trusts you very much. Other things are good, but once the world is in chaos, in the final analysis, the only thing that can be taken is money. Antiques in leisure, gold in wartime, this truth will never change. In fact, what is offered from you is not a lantern, but something burning in the lantern. Gao Ming said while looking at the lantern.

"Oh, I said, our people are all clumsy, and they can make such a fine lantern." Wuzhi echoed with his voice, using the method of repeating smart words to make the conversation continue without revealing any flaws.

"You should also feel that the lantern is extremely bright, even more eye-catching than a candle with a thick bowl. Besides, how can you put a thick candle in such a small lantern? Gao Ming said.

"Yes, yes, I have lived for so many years and have never seen such a bright lantern." Wuzhi can now be sure that the things in the lantern must be unusual, so he boldly broke into part of his words and said something smart but relatively safe.

"What burns in the lantern is the fat of the big fish in the sea. The big fish rushed to the beach from the sea a few years ago and then died. Since it is a dead fish, the fish is extremely fat and full of oil. The oil is extremely anti-burning and very bright, so the officials on your side made a batch of candles and a batch of lamp oil and sent it to the capital. Most of these lamp oil has arrived at the lieutenant's mansion. The old lady liked it very much after watching it, because you also know that people are old and their eyes are not easy to use. The bright light can make her see more clearly. You must remember to say that you made this fish oil, and I believe it will help you a lot. Gao Ming emphasized.

"Oh, so that's it." Wuzhi nodded: "Maybe I'm too ignorant at ordinary times and have never heard of such a thing." Wu Da continued what he just said and simply didn't know to the end. Otherwise, once he heard a little, Gao Ming would discuss this topic with him again, which would be troublesome.

"When you are done, in fact, you should really go back and have a look. I heard that the bones of this big fish have not been wasted. It has been built into a temple. What is it called... Anyway, what is the Dragon King Temple, but this temple has been built extremely weakly. It is said that since its construction, there has always been a tsunami, and it is still the location of the temple. But it's strange. No matter how big the water is, the temple made of fish bones stands still, so although it is fierce, no one dares to demolish it. Gao Ming said this and laughed.
