Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 258 Admiral is Benevolence and Righteousness
Jia Liu really wanted to have a wedding, because all the money was paid.

Twelve taels, yesterday's one also has to eat eight yuan to come back.

After sitting down, I always feel that something is missing.

I can't say it, I just feel weak.

Seeing an old man at the next table looking at him curiously, he probably wondered who this person was from the Xia family and why he had never seen him before.

"Fellow town,"

Jia Liu smiled all over his face, and said kindly, "You have a long life?"

While speaking, he habitually touched his pocket to loose the cigarette, but found that there was no smoke at all.

The old man's ears were fine, he put down the pipe he was smoking, and said, "This year is seventy-three!"

"Okay, okay, 73, 84, Yan."

Jia Liusheng swallowed back the words, and moved the stool in front of the old man, "You don't look like a 73-year-old, just now I thought you were only [-]."

"you are?"

The old man didn't know how sacred the admiral in casual clothes was. Although he looked young, he had a different temperament, like an official.

Jia Liu made a joke, saying that he was a colleague in the Guoliang Army, and he came to have a wedding today.

"Old man, how many people are there in the family, are you doing well?"

When the admiral was chatting with fellow villagers, the Xia family came over.

It was Xia Guoliang's younger brother who was also the groom's uncle Xia Guodong.

Hearing from his sister-in-law and nephew that the admiral had come to his house, Xia Guodong was both surprised and happy. Seeing that the admiral was sitting in a corner, he hurried over to ask the admiral to sit down.

What the Xia family didn't know was that the admiral valued etiquette the most, he shook his head and said, "Chairman, I won't sit down anymore, the world is big, and my uncle is the biggest, no matter how old I am, the admiral is no bigger than my uncle, you guys I appreciate your kindness, but I can't break the rules."

After all, I saw a few children who were going to accompany the bridegroom to eat the "No. , I think this place is very good, you go to work, leave me alone."

That being said, how can the Xia family really ignore the admiral, this is a distinguished guest that even his family can't invite!
As soon as the incident spread, none of the neighbors in the neighborhood should give his Xia family a high look.

He was still there and wanted to ask the admiral to move. Seeing this, Ma Daquan, the Chongqing garrison, directly pulled Xia Guodong aside, and ordered: "You can sit wherever the admiral says you want to sit. You don't need to invite me any more. You have nothing to do here. Go and do it yourself." That's right."

"Okay, okay, then if the adults need anything, just tell the little one."

Xia Guodong was afraid that the hospitality would not be good, so he hurriedly asked someone to make tea for the admiral, and bring fruit snacks.

". Having more children in a family is a good thing, and it's also a bad thing. What are the good things? They need to spread their branches and leaves, and have more children and grandchildren. In the future, one of the children and grandchildren will always have a future. What are the bad things? I don't have enough food, I don't have enough clothes, But no matter how hard it is, we can’t make it hard for our children, we still have to find a way to let them study, and only by reading and literacy can we be successful.”

The admiral is busy chatting with the guests who came to congratulate him.

Xia Guoliang was a soldier in the green battalion, there must be some friends in the battalion, others are not at home, can these friends not come to support his family?

It is also a normal human relationship.

Someone heard Xia Guodong say that the new admiral of the imperial court was also there, so he came over to greet him right away.

Now it's all right, the admiral's identity was exposed, the old man was so startled that he didn't turn back after taking a puff of cigarette, almost choking.

"Sit, sit, everyone sit."

The admiral is really cute, he not only invites people to sit, but also offers them a stool to sit on himself, this behavior, this style, can make all the battalion soldiers excited.

First, the parents chatted briefly, and the topic of chatting naturally came to the implementation of the recently promulgated reward policy.

Some people didn't dare to speak before, but under the encouragement of the admiral, they suddenly started talking.

Without much effort, the admiral basically had a thorough understanding of the situation of the Green Camp in Chongqing.

The lively, cordial, and evocative scene was disturbed by Cao Guoke, the deputy general of Chongqing Town, who rushed over.

"Bah!"

Deputy General Cao, who was born in a coat in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, greeted the admiral with a flagman salute.

"Get up."

Jia Liu asked Deputy General Cao with a smile, "Xia Guoliang is your soldier in Chongqing Town. If he marries a daughter-in-law, do you have to be the head of the family in Chongqing Town with the gift?"

"Get it, get it."

Cao Guoke hurriedly touched his pockets, but he was in a hurry to go out without any broken silver. Instead, he had a 100 taels silver ticket, which was just honored to him yesterday afternoon.

In front of the admiral, he could only grit his teeth and hand over the 100 taels bank note to the groom officer as part of the money.

How dare the bridegroom officer charge so much money, he stood there in a daze.

"Master Cao's wish, accept it."

Jia Liu laughed, took the silver ticket from Cao Guoke and stuffed it in the groom's hand, then asked: "When will the banquet start, I'm a little hungry."

"Ah? Let's start now, let's start!"

The banquet began soon, and Jia Liu asked Cao Guoke to sit at the table with him, and asked casually about work while eating.

It can be regarded as a happy conversation, which relieved Cao Guoke's hanging heart.

On the way here, I was afraid that the admiral was here to trouble me, but now it seems that the admiral is probably here to fight the autumn wind.

Tomorrow, it is normal to contribute 1000 taels.

It was only when the groom's official came to toast that Jia Liu realized why he was not doing well.

It turned out to be the habitual consciousness of the previous life.

From a first-rank admiral who has no airs at all, to an ordinary big-headed soldier who eats with gifts, at least seven or eight pens will follow, right?
But next to the forehead, there is nothing wrong with a pen.

What is this like?

I wondered if after the Sichuan green battalion was stabilized, I would publish the "Eight Banners Army Daily" or something to publicize the heroic deeds of the Eight Banners soldiers in the pacification of Jinchuan, and by the way, highlight the significance of Jia Jiashikai in this process.

Qianlong could raise Ji Xiaolan, a prostitute, and he, Jia Liu, would definitely not break the law by raising a bunch of pens.

Seeing that the food was about the same, the relatives and friends of the Xia family couldn't let go because of the presence of the admiral, so Jia Liu smiled and stood up to say goodbye to the Xia family.

After he came out, Cao Guoke hurriedly asked the admiral to rest in his official office.

Jia Liu came to this mountain city for the first time, and proposed to take a walk and have a look around, while drinking slowly.

Cao Guoke dared not answer.

After walking for a while, the admiral suddenly stopped, and turned around to ask Cao Guoke who was following behind, "Are you from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Cao Guoke hurriedly said: "Responding to my lord's words, I will be born as the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria Baoyi. My grandfather once accompanied the general Tu Haiping to fight against the Wu thief Sangui!"

In the look, there is a hint of pride in this background.

Jia Liu said "Oh", waved his hands and said, "I won't talk nonsense with you about this, how much money have you been greedy for these years?"

Cao Guoke was stunned for a while, and quickly defended: "Your Excellency has wronged the last general, and the last general has always been an upright official."

Before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the admiral, "I don't want to hear such words. Everyone says that they are clean officials. Why, I'm the only corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty?"

After all, give Vice General Cao two ways.

"The first way, you give me all the money you have been greedy for these years, and then I will kill you; the second way, I kill you, and then take away the money you have been greedy for these years. You choose Well, which way?"

The admiral is benevolence and righteousness, not to say everything, but to give people a choice.
