Chapter 1749 Ban Shilang
But he was too flamboyant. Someone who knew him shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master Bao, where did you get the horse? Such a good horse should be sent to the army for the soldiers to use!"
Horses are military assets, and horses from the northwest are especially valuable. Even if some families are qualified and have the money to buy horses, they are sometimes taken to the military.
The only horse in the Bao family is a female. It is used to breed seeds. It is very precious. However, Bao Baolu is the only remaining son of Mr. Bao, so it is also very precious.
So I begged Mr. Bao to ride on horseback to meet the adults in the capital.
Master Bao agreed, but when he heard the words of the second brother of Hu Yamen's family in the same street, Master Bao became excited and shouted: "Bao Baolu, you rebellious son, come down quickly, or I will beat you to death!"
The sound was like thunder, almost frightening the proud Bao Baolu and causing him to fall off his horse.
Mr. Bao's body went limp and he almost fell down. He was supported by Hu Er, who snorted coldly: "Master Bao, you shouldn't let Mr. Bao ride a horse!"
Are you seeking death by making public statements at this time?
"If you don't have time to ride a horse, it's better to marry Master Bao quickly and have a baby as soon as possible. This is a single seedling in your family, so you don't have to worry about it. Do you want to wait until the next time the bandits come?"
After hearing this, Mr. Bao was grateful: "Thank you for reminding me."
As expected of being an old neighbor on the same street, I always think of his family.
Hu Er chuckled: "As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. With the relationship between our two families, what else can Mr. Bao thank you for?"
He added: "My Hu family has two daughters of the right age. They are both good-looking and good-looking. Do you think Master Bao and Young Master Bao are compatible? I think they are a good match..."
He actually talked about matchmaking to his niece and daughter!
Master Bao is so angry that he shouldn't be grateful to Hu Er. This guy has been a fool since he was a child. He won't talk nonsense to you if there is no good thing.
"Bao Baolu, come home with me!" Mr. Bao stopped watching the fun, twisted his son's ears, pulled the horse's reins, and walked toward the city with several servants behind him.
Dad, let go, let go, dont go back yet. The adults are coming soon. There are many carriages. I heard they contain real money and silver. If you dont see them, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
"What a bullshit!" Mr. Bao was angry, but it would be a shame not to watch this rare lively event. He said in a soft tone: "The reward team must be moving slowly when pulling things. Let's go home first and tie up the horses before watching. Theres enough time.
Hu Er looked at the backs of the Bao family and his son and sneered, Ha, you still look down on the Hu family? His brother is a government official and sees the prefect every day!
However, Bao Baolu is a rare good match. Nowadays, there are more girls than boys in the northwest. If we don't find this good match for the girl in the family quickly, I am afraid that "Bao Baolu" will be snatched away by other women.
Hu Da on the other side was following his brothers, stopping the people watching the excitement and shouting: "Back off, everyone, back off. If you hit the frame of the adults, you will be beheaded!"
Magistrate Hao resisted the lingering power of the autumn tiger and looked at the excited people near the city gate. He regretted letting the big guys come to greet the adults.
What if this scares the horse and causes the adults' car to overturn? !
Fortunately, the soldiers from the post station came to help maintain order, and there has been no trouble so far.
God bless me, may everything go smoothly today, and nothing will go wrong!
Perhaps God was moved. When the reward team arrived in front of the city gate, although the horses were frightened and almost overturned, the adults in the capital did not get angry.
Just because Ban Shilang of the Ministry of Rites said: "I was worried about the city after the war. Now that I see it, half of my worries are gone. I feel very relieved and relieved!"
Many people couldn't understand what he was talking about. It was obvious that he raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears and hurriedly comforted him: "Sir, please don't cry. The city wall of our Xing'an Prefecture looks in tatters, but the city is nice. There are shops and restaurants. Its not much worse than your capital city. Yes, sir, dont cry, our Xingan Prefecture is not that bad. We also have insect attractant and that kind of insect repellent medicine that poisonous insects cannot get on the body. In terms of the ability to kill poisonous insects, it is better than Da Other places in Chu are much more powerful. When you come to our Xing'an Mansion, just eat, drink and sleep without worry, the poisonous insects will not be able to crawl on you."
The common people comforted me with every word, which moved Mr. Ban.
However, Mr. Ban is overthinking it. The people are comforting you because they think it is unlucky for you to wipe your tears as soon as an official comes, as if you are crying in mourning. They want to coax you not to cry.
Ban Shilang continued to move, and said to Hao Zhifu: "Hao Zhifu, the people of Xing'an Mansion can be so happy and kind when they experience war and scourge.
Praise again?
"What do you mean, Mr. Ban? Your Majesty, have you ever praised me?" Hao Zhifu's eyes lit up. When he asked, he almost couldn't restrain his excitement and grabbed Mr. Ban's arm.
Ban Shilang nodded: "Well, when the Jie report from Xing'an Mansion was sent to Beijing, His Majesty praised Hao Zhifu.
Ha ha ha ha!
Magistrate Hao laughed heartily and felt like he was floating. The emperor praised him. Needless to say, he would definitely be promoted to the capital and leave this ghost place in the northwest.
Qi Tong felt sad and congratulated Magistrate Hao with a stiff face: "It seems that your Excellency will be promoted and leave soon. I would like to congratulate you in advance."
Ban Shilang frowned when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Qi Tongzhi, where did you hear this? His Majesty praised you two, but said that you two have experience in managing border towns, and you want to keep them in Xing'an Prefecture for more years." Stay for a few years until the rebels are defeated in the northwest."
"What!"
Heaven!
Zhifu Hao and Qi Tongzhi cried out, their bodies softened, and they fell backwards. They were supported by their masters in time, so they didn't make a joke.
The masters of the two men were covered in cold sweat on their backs, and said with a smile on their faces: "Excuse me, Mr. Ban, but Magistrate Hao and Qi Tongzhi were so excited when they heard that His Majesty praised them, and they couldn't bear it for a moment, so..."
Hehe, hehe, the two masters laughed dryly.
Ben Shilang is also in his forties. He has been an official for twenty years, so he naturally knows why Magistrate Hao and Qi Tongzhi fainted... This place in the northwest is barren and always at war, so no one is happy to live there.
Ban Shilang did not expose them and only said: "It's getting late and the team is long. Quickly arrange people to lure the insects and enter the city."
General Liang was talking to Mr. Xu who came from the Ministry of War in the capital. Hearing this, he said to Mr. Xu: "I will go and make arrangements for trapping insects first. Sir Xu, please go to the tent below the city to rest. I will arrange for military doctors to trap the insects for you." "
Xu Langzhong nodded and was taken to a large tent on the left side of the city gate by Lieutenant General Lu.
The elders of each tribe were also led to other camps to lure insects.
Luring insects is a time-consuming job. By the time all the adults and rewards had lured the insect queen, it was already more than an hour later, the sky had darkened, and it was time to close the city gate.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Magistrate Hao hurriedly asked people to play drums: "Sound up the drums, let's welcome the emperor's reward into the city!"
Dong dong dong!
The soldiers on the city tower immediately beat the drums, and with the sound of the drums and the long and joyful sound of the sheng, they welcomed the rewards and the adults into Xing'an Mansion, just like the joy of welcoming a bride.
Carloads of rewards entered the city under the afterglow of the Golden Crow. After the first cart containing the sacrifices and other items entered the government office, the last carriage pulling the rewards entered the city.
Emperor Jingyuan sent so many rewards that the people watching the excitement were very excited.
