I don't know if he is asking. "He?" The men said, "We don't know what's true or false, because we came to ask on the orders of the Grand Master. Since he is your son-in-law, he will take you to see the Grand Master in person to avoid running around." , Feng Su was not allowed to say anything, and everyone supported him.

A night without words.

On the next day, someone from Yucun had already sent two letters of silver and four pieces of brocade to thank Madam Zhen. He also sent a secret letter to Feng Su, entrusting Madam Zhen with asking for those delicate apricots. Make a second bedroom.

During the competition, he was so proud that he met the Jinshi and was elected to the outer class. Now he has been promoted to the prefect. Although he has great talents, he is somewhat greedy and cruel. Moreover, he relies on his talents to insult others, so those officials look at him sideways. In less than a year, his superior found an opportunity and wrote a book about him. He was "cunning in nature, good at compiling etiquette, and he had a reputation of being honest, but he secretly became a member of the tiger and wolf family, causing trouble in the place and the people's life." language.

On that day, I swam to the Weiyang area again, because I heard that Lin Ruhai was the one who was in charge this year. This Lin Ruhai's surname is Lin Hai, and her abbreviation is Ruhai. She is a Tanhua with a previous record. Now she has been promoted to the official position of Lantai Temple. She is originally from Gusu. She has been appointed as the censor of salt patrol. She has only been in office for more than a month. It turns out that the ancestor of Lin Ruhai once attacked the princes, and now he is like Ruhai, and has been in business for five generations. At first, he was only granted the throne for three generations. Because of his great grace and virtue, he was far ahead of his predecessors and received additional favors. To Ruhai's father, he succeeded another generation; to Ruhai, he was born in Kedi. Although he belongs to Zhong Ding's family, he is also a scholarly family.

Because they heard that Lu Zheng wanted to hire a foreign guest, Yucun asked his friends to help them move in and make a plan to settle down.
