There are four tables in the lobby, where well-dressed people are eating and drinking tea, and the station counter is located.

There are eight people dressed like Shui Sheng talking with the courier.

"Brother postman, please do me a favor. My wife is still in confinement. If she hadn't gone back to her mother's house for the funeral, she wouldn't be going out this day. My wife can't get wet. Please help me, let my wife come in to shelter from the rain! "

The postman lowered his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to block what was handed over by the other party's sleeve, "Is your wife a family member of an official?"

The hand under the coir raincoat grabbed the postman and forced the things over, "My wife is the young lady of Meizhuang Tavern in Caoliang County, and I don't need a house, as long as I can let her into the hall or the stables to avoid the rain." .”

The postman glanced at the tables in the hall and shook off the man's hand, "Since I'm not a family member of an official, I really can't help."

"Please do me a favor, my wife still has a fever..."

"This is an official post. Ordinary people can't come in. Is it a place for you, a lowly merchant servant, to play tricks? The postmen talk to you well, and still pester you. If you are so troublesome, just beat them out!"

A girl with a snake bun, a golden hairpin inlaid with rubies inserted obliquely, the same style of sparrow earrings, a purple silk brocade shirt, and beaded shoes. Raised high, with delicate eyes, pointed at Zeng Shuisheng and his party with a horsewhip in his hand.

"If you are not the servants of the official's family, leave the station quickly, otherwise, my lady will let the postman throw you all out."

Who doesn't know the rules of the official station?
It's just that if there are no nobles staying in the official post, it is common for the post to accommodate for convenience.

At this moment, the lady made a fuss, and the servant who knew that the master's status was not enough hurriedly left the station.

As soon as he left, he left most of it.

Shui Sheng hesitated, but did not leave.

Knowing that he came late, he honestly lined up behind the three men in coir raincoats.

"My son is Guo Xiucai who participated in the provincial examination in Shangsuzhou. This is my son's certificate of talent!"

A scholar is not an official, but everyone thinks that it is feasible for a scholar to become an official in the county government, and the other party is going to take the exam, and he may be his immediate boss in the future.

The postman was about to take the documents for inspection, when the girl sneered, "But you are a scholar, you didn't pass the exam, and you want to live in an official post, it's wishful thinking."

The bookboy holding the document was blushing, but the girl didn't even look at him, she just looked at a girl in pink who was eating.

"Lingnan rites and music have collapsed to this point, and there are no rules. Sister Yazhu, it's no wonder that your father, who is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, cannot escape the blame, and was demoted to Lingnan by the Holy One."

The girl who was named frowned, and finally said nothing, and swallowed her anger, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the vegetables and stuffed them into her mouth.

From her behavior, anyone with a brain in the hall can see that the status of the elders in the talking girl's family is at least higher than that of Yazhu's father.

Yazhu's father used to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites, so the identity of the elder in the speaking girl's family should be similar to that of Yazhu's father, otherwise the tone of speech would not be so familiar.

The young man who was eating at the next table looked up at the girl who was speaking, "Quiet, please stop saying a few words and hurry over to eat."

Qiao Yu pedaled and walked downstairs, took a seat on the left side of the young man's deskmate, swept Shui Sheng and his party reproachfully, and said coquettishly, "Cousin, quickly let the Jin Yiwei specially sent by His Majesty to protect you drive them out. What if there are assassins among these people?"

"Eating can't keep your mouth shut?"

Qiao Yu pursed her lips, picked up the chopsticks unhappily, and was about to pick up vegetables, but stopped again, twisted the teapot and rinsed the chopsticks sideways.

There was quite a lot of information in the girl's words just now.

All of a sudden, no matter whether they were sitting at the table eating or standing, all their hearts were raised.

The book boy didn't dare to ask any more questions, took back the young master's scholar certificate, and left with a bow.

The other man in coir raincoat didn't know whether he was afraid of causing trouble for his master, or if he was afraid that the master would be troubled by the people in the official post, so he also turned and left.

The third man in coir raincoat behind the two of them stepped forward and handed the ID card to the postman. The postman glanced at it and said, "There is a second-class room in the Dizi house."

The man in coir raincoat still didn't speak, but nodded.

The postman took out the key and handed it to him, pointing to the corridor behind the stairs, "Follow the direction I pointed, the third room on the left."

Qiao Yu frowned, and was about to say something when her cousin snapped, "If you keep talking nonsense, as soon as the rain stops, I'll send you back to Beijing."

The witty words seemed aggrieved and were about to come out, "I'm not worried about my cousin's safety, whoever lives in the office knows what kind of messy handyman..."

The man in coir raincoat who was walking towards the corridor turned to look at Qiao Yu.

The lowered bamboo hat makes it impossible to see the upper half of his face, only a scar on his lip, which is very frightening.

He had an astonishing aura, he was pulling his cousin's coquettish witty words, suddenly his whole body turned cold, and he turned his head to look.

The man in coir raincoat had already withdrawn his gaze, and walked straight to the corridor.

Seeing that the scared quail almost snuggled into the young man's arms, everyone at the table next to Yazhu lowered their heads, not daring to look at them.

How could Zeng Shuisheng understand the changes in the station, he was only happy that it was finally his turn.

He knew that a few days ago, he had not resigned from his position as a yamen servant, and Chen Yuan still had the status of a clerk, so the group of them must be qualified to live in the official post office.

But now, Shui Sheng was not sure.

But, you have to ask to know.

He took out the cowhide package, and carefully handed the letter of recommendation and identity document written by Guan Zhixian for Chen Yuan to the postman.

After seeing it, the postman was a little embarrassed, "The three of you have resigned from your post, and Ms. Chen has not yet taken up her post. Originally, you could live in a third-class house."

He glanced at the people in the lobby secretly with the end of his eyes, and said to Shui Sheng in a kind voice, "Today, the third-class room in the inn housed the servants of the officials and lords. If you and your grandfather can ask the consent of the third-class roommate , but I can squeeze in with them, but I can't talk to you, and I can't make arrangements. It's just Miss Chen..., there are few female guards, those girls can share the same room with their wives, and there is no room for her If you squeeze, she might have to sit in the lobby all night."

"It's okay, we originally thought that we could just come in to avoid the rain, brother postman, you are really a good person!"

Contented and happy, Zeng Shuisheng folded everyone's ID documents and wrapped them in his arms again.

"Go and get people in."

Shui Sheng nodded and ran into the rain.

Just now, Chen Yuan saw the men in coir raincoats retreating, and none of the exquisite or simple carriages drove into the post station, so she guessed that there might be many important people living in the post station tonight.

She has given up hope that she will be able to go in to shelter from the rain tonight.

As a result, Shui Sheng ran over happily.

Before the person arrived, he shouted excitedly to Chen Yuan, who was pulling the rein until his hands were numb, "Junior Sister, Brother Poster is a good man, allow us to go into the hall to shelter from the rain."
