Chapter 508 Brothers and Sisters
As the last snow in the 16th year of Qin Wangzheng began to fall over Jicheng, the 16th year of Qin Wangzheng officially entered the countdown.
In a pretty nice house in Jicheng City, Liu Ji looked at the snowflakes falling outside the hall, and felt that the winter in Jicheng was a bit too cold, and now he has something that he never even dared to think about. , but he still felt as if something was missing and not complete enough.
Liu Ji knew that he should feel satisfied. After all, the opportunities he had in the past few years were beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but he did it.
He, Liu Ji, is just an ordinary family in Pei County. Although his family is considered well-to-do, that's all. If he wants to complete the transformation of his identity, only God knows what he should do, but now he is a real official. In charge of the Inspection Department under the Criminal Department of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion of Qin State, although the position is not prominent, the power is extremely heavy.
Probably because no one can share my joy now?Liu Ji withdrew his gaze from outside the hall, especially at the end of the year, without his former friends by his side, even if the food in front of him is more exquisite now, and the drinks are first-class wine, definitely not in Pei County It can be compared with those inferior turbid wines at that time, but after all, it lacks the taste of the past.
While Liu Ji was thinking about his life, the servant who was watching suddenly appeared in Liu Ji's sight.
"My lord, there are two people who say they are from my lord's country, and they come to join us." The gatekeeper reported to Liu Jihui.
"Countryman?" Liu Ji was slightly startled when he heard the words. He had sent a letter to Pei County to invite Fan Kui and Xia Houying to come to Jicheng to seek wealth. The distance between them is even more unimaginable. Can the two of them really come so fast?
But Liu Ji ignored the shock, quickly put on his shoes and said to the servant: "Hurry up and invite someone in, it should be my brother."
Liu Ji's servant was originally the housekeeper of the previous mansion, and he was the best at observing words and deeds. Seeing Liu Ji's eagerness, he didn't understand that the person who came to Liu Ji's face was not ordinary. Fortunately, as a qualified housekeeper, Within the scope of what he can do, this man has always been able to perform his duties very well.
So amidst Liu Ji's eagerness, the servant added: "My lord, don't be in a hurry. The villain has already invited the distinguished guest into the gatehouse. There is everything there, and I will not neglect the distinguished guest."
"You've done a good job. Go ahead and prepare some food, especially the piece of dog meat. Let it be stewed quickly. My two brothers love nothing but this dog meat." Liu Ji nodded in satisfaction. Well, the housekeeper of this big family is different, it can save people a lot of worry.
While speaking, Liu Ji had already walked into the wind and snow. He was frowning in front of the delicacies, but this time he finally found real happiness.
When Liu Ji was in a hurry to greet his brothers and old friends in this foreign land, in the gatehouse of Liu Mansion, two young men were squatting by the stove and whispering something.
"It seems that Brother Liu really posted this time, Xiahou, have you noticed this mansion?" A young man with a short beard, although not considered old, looked out the window with full eyes. It is the color of wonder.
"What's wrong with this mansion?" Another young man who was not tall but had extremely long arms asked back.
"Didn't you see it, Xiahou? This mansion is much richer than the mansion of our county magistrate in Peixian County. Brother Liu's current level must be higher than that of our county magistrate in Peixian County. As for Mr. Xiao, he is even worse. Big brother Liu’s." Fan Kui stroked the wine cup in his hand, it was just the wine utensils used by the gatekeepers of this mansion, but it was much higher grade than what they used and drank before.
And this is just for the servants to use and drink. As the master here, how well-developed Liu Ji should be now.
"Brother Liu is following Prime Minister Zuo after all. Who is Prime Minister Zuo? Do we need to say more?" Although he was only driving a car, he was driving for the magistrate of Pei County after all. Xia Houying was barely an official. With insights beyond that of Fan Kui, when Fan Kui was shocked by the fate of Liu Ji, the big brother, he thought of more things.
"Prime Minister Zuo?" Rao Yi, with Fan Kuai's arrogance, couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard this title.
Back then, Yang Ming led the army from Dongjun to the south, all the way to Pengcheng directly, the aura of the god of war has already spread in Peixian County and the farther Chu, especially the 'elites' of Peixian County , and often talk about the person who made them truly appreciate what power is in the wine shop.
Especially in the past two years, there have been more and more legends belonging to Yang Ming, which makes Fan Kui and Xia Houying the existences that people who are full of fantasies about themselves and the world are fascinated by.
"If you want to go up and get along well, you have to follow the right person. Zuo Cheng is like this to Brother Liu, and Brother Liu is also like this to us." Coming to a strange place, Xia Houying's words to Fan Kui were natural. There are more, after all, there is a local accent in the words spoken by the two of them. This local accent may not be a big deal in Peixian County, but it is an extremely precious thing in Jicheng, which is thousands of miles away. .
"You're right." Fan Kui, who liked to quarrel with Xia Houying, did not refute Xia Houying this time.
"Fan Kui, Xiahou, it's really you two, I just sent the letter not long ago, why did you come here so soon?" Liu Ji, who pushed the door and entered the gate, looked at the two familiar ones in front of him, but they were not very familiar. The handsome face was more of a surprise than a surprise.
"Brother sent a letter to Pei County?" Fan Kui was surprised when he heard Liu Ji's words.
"Yeah, I'm already rich. I wanted to find my brothers. While helping me, I could also let them seek wealth together. I never thought that the two brothers would be together for a long time before the letter was sent." It's already here." Liu Ji closed the door, listening to the familiar local accent, he just felt that the night was completely complete, now that he is well-off, but he can't find anyone to brag about, it's so uncomfortable, but now it's okay I finally got back the feeling I once had.
"It seems that we want to go together. Xiahou and I came to look for eldest brother to seek wealth. The mansion of eldest brother is bigger than our county magistrate's mansion in Pei County. He must have become a high-ranking official. It should be bigger than the county magistrate's mansion." Do you want to be bigger?" Fan Kui asked carelessly.
"Magistrate of Pei County? This is what he is in front of me now." Liu Ji gestured with his little finger proudly.
"What is the position of the eldest brother?" Xia Houying, who is more familiar with the officialdom, couldn't help asking.
"How should I put it? You probably haven't heard of this position. I'm currently in charge of the inspection department under the Criminal Department of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I have a salary of one thousand shi. If you count the rank, you can be regarded as a county-level official." Liu Ji As he spoke, his eyebrows danced with joy, full of his pride.
"It's amazing, it's amazing, it seems that the eldest brother is really developed." Fan Kui has no concept of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Inspection Department, but he has a clear concept of the county. In his cognition, the county guard is already heavenly He's a big character, and now Liu Ji's level can reach the county level, so naturally he can't be more powerful.
"Let's go, I've already asked people to prepare delicious food and wine. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together. Before, I thought I was missing something tonight, but once you come, I don't need anything." Liu Ji He pulled Fan Kuai with one hand and Xia Houying with the other and walked out of the gate.
Soon, Fan Kui and Xia Houying saw more shocks. Before, they just thought that Liu Ji's mansion was really big, but after entering the hall, they saw the exquisite furniture, all kinds of bronze and jade. Only then did they clearly realize that Liu Ji's wealth at this time is really no small matter.
It is indeed at the county level.Fan Kui and Xia Houying looked at each other, and they both saw the extra caution in each other's eyes.
However, as the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. After drinking for three rounds, Fan Kui, who already had a superior, looked at Liu Ji. There was no respect for the county-level senior officials. In the drunken eyes, there is only Liu Ji, his fellow villager, his eldest brother, his brother who used to be able to sneak around together.
"Brother still understands me and knows that I like to eat dog meat the most. No matter how much I eat it, I won't get tired of it." Fan Kuai picked up a piece of dog meat. Although his palm was shaking due to alcohol, he still stuffed the meat into his mouth very accurately. Immediately, he started chewing with big mouthfuls, and there was a chirping sound, which seemed extremely vulgar, but it was extremely pleasant to Liu Ji's ears.
"In this way, I no longer worry about meat. Let alone dog meat, I eat beef, mutton, venison, and even tiger meat." Liu Ji laughed loudly, and now he feels wonderful Extremely.
"But one thing is not good, this dog meat is the most nourishing." Fan Kuai muttered, then ran to Liu Ji's side and asked: "There are many good things in the homes of high-ranking officials, and you should be no exception here, brother? "
"What good thing?" Liu Ji couldn't react for a while.
"Brother, do you have prostitutes here?" Fan Kui smiled lewdly.
"No." In Fan Kuai's expectation, Liu Ji shook his head, and then said: "The prime minister doesn't like people under his command to raise prostitutes. Of course, I can't do things that the prime minister is opposed to."
"Then how boring it must be to be an official." Fan Kui muttered.
While Liu Ji greeted his two brothers, Xue Nu also entertained his 'sisters' attentively.
Between the tall buildings of the prime minister's mansion, as the snowflakes fell, the scenery outside the window became more graceful. I saw Xuenv put pieces of cooked mutton into the jade bowl in front of the moon god, and poured minced garlic and sesame paste into it. He still didn't forget to add: "It's the most delicious to eat like this, my sister will try it too."
Moon God stared intently at the pile of mutton in the delicate jade bowl, especially the smell of minced garlic, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Is this food edible?
It’s still finished, my whole body is sore from the car ride, time is running out, so I post it first, and the typos will be corrected immediately!
