On the side of the road, under the gatehouse with the plaque of "Yi Cheng Office" hanging, Mr. Yi Cheng is playing chess with an old man with frost on his temples. If ordinary people play chess, they are all deep in thought and silent, but these two people have a style of painting. It's very different, it's a battle of wits and bickering, quarreling and quarreling, a game of chess is very lively, but it's not angry, at the end of the fight, one person slaps his thigh, the other wipes it on the chessboard, and then points to each other and laughs .

It wasn't until this time that Master Yi Cheng and the old man noticed that there were two more figures beside them. When they looked up, they saw two youths in green clothes, one elegant and elegant, gentle as jade, graceful like the wind under a pine tree, and poised like a morning glow, The other one was carved in pink and jade, with bright eyes and a smile, she was indescribably cute.

Completely unfamiliar faces...

Master Yicheng scratched his head in doubt, "I don't know the two of you..."

Just as he was asking a question, a group of piglets ran out from the post office. They had fat bodies and short legs, but they ran like galloping horses. Lin Yuan pulled Tong Xuan aside, The eyes almost fell to the ground.

It lasted five years, but they didn't know that the post office in this country could run out of pigs. Emperor Jingyuan in the past, and now Lin Yuan expressed surprise.

It may also be because of the momentum of the pigs running...

Mr. Yicheng was obviously used to it, so he said helplessly, "Ah, why did you run out again?" He picked up the whip that was at hand and followed.

The white-haired old man didn't care about the farce that was going on every day, but stared at Lin Yuan for a long time, feeling unbelievable in his heart, and wanted to ask a question, but when the words came to his lips, he took them back because he felt abrupt.

Although Lin Yuan noticed the expression on the old man's face, she remained calm, she just pointed at Yi Cheng's back and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, this..."

The old man first introduced himself politely and said, "My surname is Hu, so it's good if you call me Hu Yuanwai", and then explained, "According to the regulations set by the Tai and Zu, the expenses of the post station do not need to be distributed uniformly by the national treasury. The nearby supply does not need to be silver taels, but can also be converted into specified silver taels. In order to save trouble, the local government exempts part of the tax from the rich households as an exchange.

It also ordered the rich households relatively close to the post station to supply directly. Chongyang Station is located at the border of the three cities, and it is supplied by twenty wealthy households in the three cities. When the offering was made, all the slaves were ordered to come with pigs and sheep, and the wealthy households in the other two cities competed to follow suit, thus leading to today's situation. "

It's all about saving trouble...

Lin Yuan shook her head, smiled without saying a word.

From the conversation, Lin Yuan could hear that the old man must be an official and gentry living in the countryside, and it was very likely that he held a high position in the Jingyuan Dynasty. This face in front of me.

Regardless of whether this person has met the saint before, it is not suitable to travel in men's clothing in the future.

After Lin Yuan made up her mind, she cupped her hands to thank the old man, and said to Tong Xuan, "Let's go ahead and have a look."

Member Hu stood staring at Lin Yuan's back for a long time, and finally caught up and said, "I don't know why the two sons came here, maybe the old man can help."

Just as Tong Xuan wanted to tell the whole story about the opening of the restaurant, Lin Yuan answered first, "The two of us passed by here, and we were tired from walking, so we wanted to find a restaurant for a cup of tea. Does Mr. Hu know where there is a restaurant?" It was only when I said this that I remembered that the old man in front of me was probably the member Hu who "stayed at the house of member Hu" in Jiang Xun's travel notes.

Sure enough, he listened to Hu's nonsense, "I'll tell you the truth, my son, although this place is a transportation fortress, there are no inns and restaurants. If you don't mind it, please come and sit down with me."

Lin Yuan gave a deep salute, "Then I thank the staff."

When you arrive at Hu Yuanwai's house, you must follow Hu Yuanwai's words --- why is there no restaurant in such a good location?

☆、Chapter 25 Thank you Hu Yuanwai

Walking into the main room of Yuanwai Hu's house, I saw two scrolls hanging side by side on the middle wall, with the characters "loyalty" and "filial piety" written on them respectively. They were extremely vigorous and powerful, and must have been written by Yuanwai Hu.

When she was seated, Lin Yuan noticed that the inscriptions on the two pictures were "Hu Yu".

Hu Yu...

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and it turned out that this person was Hu Yu, the county magistrate of Xincheng who had written thousands of words to her.

In this eloquent memorandum, Hu Yu used extremely fierce and straightforward words to criticize Emperor Jing Yuan for being "unplanned but arrogant and determined to go his own way". Fighting for the general and the king of Qin, until the imperial army was defeated again and again, the Qin army approached Gyeonggi step by step, "Why don't you wait if the country is not destroyed? Does your majesty want to be inferior to the king of Qin?".

Lin Yuan was furious and horrified after reading the memorial.

What is outrageous is that, as a courtier, Hu Yu is so ignorant of the emperor, and what is horrified is that a small official like the county magistrate can see her intention to abdicate.

How to deal with Hu Yu has become a thorny problem.

According to the investigation of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Hu Yu is an extremely honest official, and has a high reputation in Xincheng County. Lin Yuan cherishes him very much. Those near-swearing words in the sentence made Hu Yu even more angry, and finally could not swallow his anger. Although he passed the memorial to the cabinet and copied it to the corridor of the Sixth Division, in the end the Ministry of Punishment sentenced Hu Yu to hang. Lin Yuan did not approve, but sent Hu Yu The sentencing report of the Ministry of Punishment was on the desk for several months. When I remembered it, it was already three months later, and I finally decided to visit the county magistrate in prison first before making any plans.

At that time, the light in the prison was extremely dim, and the conversation between the monarch and his ministers was only a few sentences. Lin Yuan had already forgiven the direct minister, and decreed that he should be dismissed from his post and issued his original certificate.

Unexpectedly, a year later, he became a guest in Hu Yu's family.

Hu Yu ordered the maid to serve tea, and then said to Lin Yuan, "My lord..."

Uh, the old man's eyes seem to grow on Yuanyuan's body.

"Member Hu," Tong Xuan interrupted Hu Yu, "I don't know something, can I ask you a question or two?"

Hu Yu stroked his beard and smiled, "What's the matter with you, just tell me."

For Yuanyuan, the son is long and the son is short, but for me, I just say you.

Tong Xuan disliked Hu Yu even more, and simply stopped using honorific words, "Chongyang Valley is the border of the three cities, and there are many merchants passing by every day, why is there not even a single restaurant?"

Hu Yu chuckled, "To be honest, except for the two official lands of the delivery office and post station in Chongyang Valley, the rest of the land is the land left by the old man's ancestors. In other words, it is all the old man's family property. To open a shop, you have to ask the old man if he is willing to do this business."

So the reason why there is no shop here is very simple - because you are always unwilling? Sure enough, Arita is self-willed.

Hu Yu saw Tong Xuan's thoughts through her face, and he laughed again, "You are right, the carriages and horses at the delivery station and the herds at the post station are already extremely noisy. To be quiet? So no matter who it is, the old man has let him run into trouble."

...In this way, Yuanyuan and I have made a trip in vain.

Tong Xuan couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, he pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak.

Hu Yu narrowed his old eyes, "Why, you little servant, don't you have some plans?"

"To tell you the truth, I am indeed a small cook." Tong Xuan had no time to care about the title of a small servant, and said truthfully, "I used to work as an apprentice in a restaurant, but later encountered an accident, resigned from the restaurant, and planned to open a small restaurant by myself I'm raising a family, but I can't find a suitable location, so I thought..."

"Thinking of me opening a shop in Chongyang Valley?" Hu Yu's eyes narrowed even more, "Did the old man guess right?"

Tong Xuan nodded honestly, "Yeah." Then he lowered his head, "It's just that after hearing what you said just now, all my hopes have been dashed."

Hu Yu laughed loudly, "Sure enough, the old man is right", and turned to look at Lin Yuan, "I don't know if the young master also has this intention?" Speaking of this, it occurred to me that the young man said that he was a cook, so he must not belong to the young master. Slave, since the two are not in the relationship of master and servant, then "Young Master and this kid?"
