"Thank you, Mr. Pei." Xia Mingyue also liked this kind of thing very much, so she thanked her.
"Ms. Xia, you're so polite." Pei Chenghe said, "I'm going to take up my post here, but I'm afraid it will be very difficult to get together again in the future. This paperweight can be regarded as some of my thoughts for Mrs. Xia. If Mrs. Xia is free in the future, I hope When I go to Hayazhou for sightseeing and fun, I will do my best to treat you as a landlord.”
"Okay, if I have the chance, I will definitely go." Xia Mingyue agreed simply.
"Then it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Okay, let this guy have the upper hand again.
Fan Pingyang and Feng Maocai glanced at each other, curled their lips in unison, then looked at each other again, nodded slightly, and stretched out their hands.
While Pei Chenghe is talking, it’s best to eat first!
After Pei Chenghe talked to Xia Mingyue for a while, he realized that most of the refreshments on the newly placed table had been lost in an instant, and the remaining ones had been occupied by Fan Pingyang and Feng Maocai. He There was only an empty plate left in front of me!
This can't happen!
Pei Chenghe coughed lightly, "In terms of age, I am the eldest among the three of us. In terms of hierarchy, I am also the one with the highest official position among the three of us, so..."
< br>
Don't listen to the bastard chanting sutras!
Feng Maocai and Fan Pingyang paid no attention at all, and even picked out their ears to throw out all the words they didn't want to hear.
Pei Chenghe, "..."
Since this didn't work, he had no choice but to rob it!
Pei Chenghe made up his mind and rolled up his sleeves.
Seeing this, Xia Mingyue calmly stood up from the table and took two steps back.
Almost immediately, the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling sounded in the sky above the courtyard.
"Master Pei, you are a master. As a governor of the state, you must pay attention to your status!"
"As an elder, you should take care of the younger ones, and you must remember the etiquette, justice and integrity!"
Don't say that!
You didn't listen when I reasoned with you just now, but now I'm using force and you're starting to reason with me again, and you've got everything!
Pei Chenghe didn't pay any attention. At this time, he had completely transformed into a glutton and just kept eating!
When Fan Pingyang and Feng Maocai saw this, they also increased their strength in their hands.
A battle for contention has finally begun.
But fighting is fighting, fighting is fighting, faces can be pinched and bruised, cakes must not be crushed, people can fall to the ground, clothes can be stained, food must not be stained with dust, and everything must be eaten safely before speaking. OK!
So, the three of them competed vigorously while carefully protecting the cakes and eating them. The scene was more lively and funny than watching a circus.
Xia Mingyue watched this scene with interest and laughed out loud from time to time.
Others who were busy in the central kitchen looked at each other in shock when they saw the three big men fighting over a table of pastries.
Could it be that these three people have never eaten pastries before?
No, I can't say that. After all, the pastries made by Madam Xia cannot be bought outside, and you can't eat them even if you want to.
It seems that there is nothing good about being an official. It is not as good as those of them who work in the Xia Ji Central Kitchen and can get a dozen teeth from time to time.
Oh, how pitiful... Everyone shook their heads and sighed, their eyes full of sympathy.
The battle between the three people over the pastry ended when the last piece of pastry entered Fan Pingyang's mouth. After that, the three people had a detailed discussion about who had taken advantage and who had suffered a loss. They complained and complained again and again. Disgusted, he finally sat down at the table and drank tea to relieve his thirst from eating too many pastries.
After tidying up their clothes, the three of them felt quite embarrassed and said, "I made Madam Xia laugh."
"It doesn't matter, it's a good show and it opened my eyes." Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled.
The three of them were getting more and more embarrassed, but when they thought that they were not outsiders, and that Madam Xia was not a place where she needed to be cautious, she just smiled and turned over the embarrassing experience just now.
After the farce, it was time to drink tea and reminisce.
Talking about the interesting stories of Fan Pingyang when he was studying in the county school, the current situation of Jinqiu County, folk customs, and rumors on the streets...
They continued chatting until the sun set in the west, before Pei Chenghe and Feng Mao stood up to leave.
"I originally wanted to go back to the county government office with the two adults, but I just arrived in Jinqiu County today. I want to go back to the county school to see the master and the mountain chief later, and then I will hand over the county government affairs with the two adults tomorrow," Fan Pingyang said. .
"That's fine."
Fan Pingyang arrived in Jinqiu County a few days earlier than expected. He still had plenty of time, so there was no rush.
Pei Chenghe and Feng Maocai saw this and exchanged a few words before leaving.
Before leaving, Xia Mingyue gave each of them a pack of snacks.
In addition to what was on the table today, some newly fried spiced melon seeds and egg yolk peanuts were added.
The two of them thanked each other profusely and left with satisfaction and smiles on their faces.
Even after Pei Chenghe walked out of Xia Mingyue's house, he couldn't wait to take out a few egg yolk peanuts to eat.
Smooth and delicious, very delicious.
tasty!
Pei Chenghe was immersed in the delicious food, but Feng Maocai tilted his head, "Don't you think it's a little strange, sir?"
"What's weird?" After a pause, Pei Chenghe hurriedly tied up his bag of food again, and hurriedly stuffed it into his arms. He stuffed his chest into a bulging pile, and then looked at Feng Maocai warily. One glance.
Anyway, it’s fine wherever it’s weird, don’t bother me with these ideas of eating.
Feng Maocai, "..."
Is he such a greedy person?
As for that!
"Theoretically speaking, when the imperial court sends officials to serve, they will always avoid the official's hometown, in order to prevent the official from having too deep roots in the local area and covering the sky with one hand. In the fish and meat village, Mr. Fan was not only a student of the county school, but also How could he be appointed as the magistrate of Jinqiu County? ”
"You're talking about this." Pei Chenghe didn't take it seriously. "You probably don't know that Mr. Fan is originally from Songzhou, not from Jinqiu County. The reason why he came to study in the first place was because he traveled around to study. When I was in Jinqiu County, I felt that the county scholar was knowledgeable and the mountain chief was kind, so I stayed here temporarily. ”
"So that's it." Feng Maocai suddenly realized, but he said, "But Mr. Fan is serving in the Hanlin Academy. Logically speaking, after two years, when he is decentralized and becomes an official, he will at least be the governor of the state. A person like Mr. Fan who only serves in the Hanlin Academy There are very few people who come to serve after one or two years in the hospital. Is there anything wrong with this? ”
"Furthermore, Mr. Fan's surname is Fan, and the Fan family who is the most trusted around the emperor is also surnamed Fan. Are the two related..."
Pei Chenghe listened for a long time, then reached out and patted Feng Maocai on the shoulder. (End of chapter)
