Chapter 606: Must Be of the Third Rank

Chapter 607 Must be a third-rank

"Yu Dun, Liang Qu, you two are going to hunt tigers, remember to plan before you act, don't waste your best years."

"Master, don't worry, I will think twice before I act."

"Shao Qin, how is Zhengang's preparation?"

"Learn what Junior Brother said, it's almost right."

"Okay! Cao Rang..."

A few words of advice.

Yang Dongxiong looked at the moonlight from afar and waved to dismiss his disciples.

"Nothing to do tonight, go back and rest early, don't delay the birthday banquet tomorrow."

"Wait a minute." Xu raised her hand, "I have something to say."

"Master's wife?"

"Go to the main hall."

Everyone moved, and the breeze caused the hanging paintings to sway slightly.

On the Eight Immortals Square Table in the middle of the hall, nine trays were arranged in three rows and three columns, containing two folded clothes, two belts, and two cold sachets on the side, with a faint fragrance.

Xu sat sideways and waved her sleeves.

"One set for each of you. The one on the top left is for the eldest, the second one on the left is for the second, and so on down. Take them yourself."

Yang Xu kneaded the cloth with a surprised look on his face.

"Dragon silk, shark silk?"

Yu Dun recalled.

"Junior brother's?"

Xu nodded: "In May this year, Xiao Jiu brought back a piece of cloth from Xiangyi County. Each of you got one piece of cloth and sent it to me to make clothes for you.

Cut and cut, one set for each season. I made two belts and two sachets with the remaining scraps, all according to your stature. It's just right for the birthday banquet tomorrow. You need to wear something decent so that others know that we are a family."

Xu Zishuai was delighted: "For half a year, I thought that my master's wife had embezzled money, so I didn't dare to ask."

"You're asking for a beating!"

"Hahaha!"

The nine people took their share in turn.

Liang Qu kneaded the clothes on the tray. The sleeves were not made of dragon silk, but shark silk, a translucent gauze that was not too see-through. The gauze covered the outside, but it didn't look like something a man would wear. And when he counted them, there were six sets.

"Master's wife, how did Master's sister's clothes end up in my hands?"

"Who said they were for you?" Xu sat down and took a sip of tea. "You have Dragon Spirit Silk, so why should I make clothes for you? The ones on the tray are for E Ying, Xiao Yao, and Xiao Li."

Liang Qu was greatly disappointed when he heard this.

"No matter how magical the changes of Long Ling Xiao are, how can it be half as good as Master's wife's craftsmanship?"

"Do you think that your senior brothers and sisters' are made by me?" Xu rolled her eyes, "Two sets per person, eighteen sets, I won't be able to make it in half a year."

Yu Dun said with a smile: "Junior brother flattered the wrong person today. The cloth business of the Xu family in Huangzhou is well-known all over the world, and so are the tailors in Huangzhou. When Master's wife got married, several powerful embroiderers and tailors followed her to Huaiyin to settle down. Their craftsmanship is excellent. Most of the cloth craftsmanship in Pingyang Town is all from Master's wife's hands."

"Hiss~"

"I decided the style," Xu added.

"I said!"

"Okay." Xu closed the tea lid lightly, "Try it after you take it. If there is anything wrong, take it back quickly. Leave one night to modify it."

"Okay!"

Coming out of the courtyard, the long corridors on both sides are full of longevity characters.

Occasionally, servants can still be seen moving around, carrying a long table, two potted plants, and a screen to somewhere unknown.

It's so lively.

The courtyard.

Liang Qu put down the tray.

"Come on, come on, come out and try on new clothes!"

Long Yao was curious: "Elder, what new clothes?"

"My master's wife made new clothes for you. Two sets for each person. The top two are Eying's, and the bottom four are yours. We have them all. Oh, wait, Binglin, you don't have any."

Liang Qu saw Long Binglin poking his head out of the wing room and sighed, "Master's wife is partial to one and the other, and we brothers have none."

"Each person has two sets." Long Li smiled with narrowed eyes, "Brother Binglin is too tall to fit in. If the elder really likes it, can you ask Sister Eying to give you one set?"

"That's right, the elder is very advanced and not afraid of the cold. You can wear Sister Eying's summer clothes tomorrow."

Long Eying held the clothes in her hands and cast a look.

"Ahem, stop playing around, go change it and try it on. If it doesn't fit, you can change it."

"If the elder wants to see it, just say so!"

"No!"

Liang Qu said righteously.

A moment.

Long Yao and Long Li pushed Long E Ying out and turned around.

"It looks good."

Liang Qu praised sincerely.

"It's not good to disturb Master's wife so late. Here's the other set. Change it quickly!"

...

The rooster crowed.

The sky was purple.

It was near the beginning of winter, and the early morning was chilly. The fallen leaves on the branches faded completely, and a few scattered leaves were about to fall.

The whole Xu family mansion was ignited with enthusiasm.

A gong sounded, and the troupe in the back garden turned somersaults on the high stage.

The maid carried the pot and shuttled to pour tea.

The birthday party started at noon, so there was no big play on the stage, but only small plays.

Young people gathered in groups of three or two, drinking tea, chatting and eating fruits.

Look around.

There are many new faces in the garden. I don't know which family's children have returned recently. When they meet, both sides are embarrassed.

There are too many people. Even if they have the same surname, they may not recognize who is whose family.

But many people know Liang Qu.

The Great Hunting Club became famous overnight. Many children wanted to say hello, but they were embarrassed and kept looking at him with their peripheral vision.

It's like Jishuibao's only friend is Weihuohu.

Different circles, it's inevitable to feel inferior.

I'm afraid that if I take the initiative, I will get a setback and embarrass myself in public.

Of course, Liang Qu felt that many eyes were not on him, but on the dragon girl beside him.

During this period.

The Huo family, the Chi family and various small families kept coming, including Huangzhou Zhizhou Xu Wanxing and the state officials and state judges.

A few greetings.

State judge Tang Yuyou glanced around and walked straight towards Liang Qu.

"Master Liang!"

"Master Tang!"

"I sent people to look for him a few days ago, but I didn't know that Mr. Liang went to Pengze and never met him."

"But there are some clues about the Zhao family case?"

After the hunting party, Mr. Zhao was arrested and brought to justice, but Liang Qu had no control over it and left it all to professionals.

Not only does it share the merits with Huangzhou officials, it is also more in line with the rules.

After all, Huangzhou is the boundary.

Tang Yuyou shook his head.

"Don't want to say?"

"He refused to tell us." Tang Yuyou corrected, "Fatty Zhao said that he had important news, and he had to see a third-rank official before he could tell it. He also told us to know, which is not a good thing."

Don't say it.

This trick is quite effective.

Tang Yuyou originally wanted to torture and interrogate him, but after hearing this, he reported it to Zhizhou Xu Wanxing, but finally gave up.

After serving as officials for many years, the two of them knew that knowing too much about some things was not a good thing.

When it comes to remnants of the previous dynasty, one cannot be too careful.

The person has been caught, and he will get a share of the credit for nothing, so there is no need to cause trouble.

"Third-grade officer..."

Liang Qu thought about it.

Does this mean Su Guishan wants to take action personally?

Hebo's leader Wei Lin was only in the fourth rank, and Xu Yuelong was in the fourth rank. Except for Su Guishan, there was no one with a higher rank than these two.

Fatty Zhao really has something.

Playing tricks on a third-grade official for nothing will definitely lead to a worse outcome than being tortured to extract a confession.

Tang Yuyou glanced around and saw the wooden box at Liang Qu's feet, and was quite curious.

"What kind of birthday gift did Mr. Liang prepare? It was made of red sandalwood? And it was so wide and flat?"

Unless you have something to ask for, in terms of the relationship between Liang and Qu, a gift of a few dozen taels or even a hundred taels will suffice.

The red sandalwood in front of you occupies a lot of weight, and the carvings on it look like they were made by a master and are quite exquisite.

A single box is worth more than a hundred taels, but it can't contain thousands?

"It's a worthless gadget." Liang Qu waved his hand, "The box was sent for distribution, and the shopkeeper insisted on giving it to me."

"Oh?" Tang Yuyou was surprised, "Master Liang, can you tell me something?"

"When the time comes, Master Tang will be able to tell when the gifts are called."

"We'll see."
