    First, they contacted the civil servants in Zhaoqing and bought a small courtyard in the city. After everyone entered the city, they spent one night.  Xiong Wencan had known that Zhao Ru was coming and made an appointment to hold a banquet at the Governor's Mansion the next night.  On the surface, Zhao Ru came to see Xiong Wencan in the name of Nanyang Maritime Merchant, so he could go in and out of the city freely.

    The whole entourage was very hard-working, and Zhao Ru was not polite to Xiong Wencan, and brought more than 20 people to the banquet.  On this day, he was dressed in new clothes and rode a tall horse alone in the middle. Dozens of people avoided the main road and went to the Governor's Palace.  However, the magical temperament of the group of people still aroused the curiosity of the gentry in the city. They asked around about the background of this group of maritime merchants, and they were able to enter the governor's office in a grand manner.

    The Governor's Office is located in the middle of Zhaoqing City, covering a large area.  Before I reached the door, I saw a screen wall more than ten meters long in front of the door. On it was carved, "This hairpin is also called Hu Dui. The 'Hu Dui' of officials above the fourth rank is two pairs."

    The butler smiled.  said.  "Young Master has been in Nanyang for a long time and has forgotten all the Chinese etiquette. The stone drum door pillow is also called "mendang". Its shape is also particular according to the family status. Businessmen's families are carved, and officials' families are plain. With this door  When the hairpins are combined, they are the so-called right match."

    Zhao Ru was also a refugee.  I follow Ning everywhere on weekdays.  I don't pay much attention to these etiquette.  These etiquettes are not very popular in Nanhai Kingdom now.  The higher the level of the Nanhai Kingdom's five-level and third-class system, the smaller the difference in privileges and gradually no one pays attention to it.  Nowadays, people from the South China Sea.  Seems to value money more.  Pay attention to the ability to make money.  Who is talented?  Whoever has money is proud.

    Zhao Ru¡¯s casual words were robbed by this group of people.  It was a bit embarrassing.  He nodded before speaking.  Just go forward.

    Stepping into the gate of the Governor's Office, you will find a wide courtyard more than ten feet long.  Some Western crabapples were planted along the walls of the courtyard.  It also reflects an aura of wealth and nobility.  There is a wall gate on the east and west sides, leading to two stone paved corridors across the middle of the yard.  The end of the corridor.  Xiong Wencan was walking out of the backyard.

    The eldest boy wore a black gauze hat on his head and soap shoes.  Wearing a red large-breasted robe official uniform.  There is a golden pheasant hanging on the red background.  He took with him a great monk and a group of followers.  He stopped under the Yimen with a smile.  Welcome Zhao Ru and his party.

    Zhao Ru was stunned for a moment.  But he didn¡¯t expect that Xiong Wencan would personally welcome him to Yimen.  According to the Ming Dynasty etiquette.  If the other party's identity is higher than yours.  The host came out of the gate to greet him politely.  If you are an equal guest.  The master should wait under the ceremony gate.  Xiong Wencan welcomed Zhao Ruying to the Yimen.  This is a great courtesy to Zhao Ru.

    Zhao Ru smiled, never expecting that he, a humble beggar, would be welcomed into the Yimen by the Governor.  The young man felt a little emotional for a moment, and his feet couldn't help but float a little.  But Zhao Ru has a calm temper after all. Although he is a little proud of his youth, he gradually hides the frivolous look on his face.

    After scanning the courtyard, Zhao Ru led everyone up to bow to the master.

    After being polite, Xiong Wencan took the lead and led everyone through the lobby and the second hall.

    ???????????????????????????????????¡­  Every time there is a clever place, some exquisite screens, stone carvings, ancient bridges and flowing water are placed, using up the ingenuity of Lingnan to make the governor's office look elegant and interesting.

    But whenever you are attracted by this gorgeousness and linger, there must be the solemn plaque and pillars in front of you, reminding you of the majesty and solemnity of this building.  The words "powerful and caressing the southern border, adjusting the cauldron to condense the grains", and the words "you serve your people and anoint the people." are all inlaid with gold and silver, majestic, and make people marvel at it.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  But this kind of wealth is one level higher than the money stolen, and it can be said to be immersed in the bones.  The group of merchants were all like Grandma Liu when she first entered the Grand View Garden, walking slowly and gazing at each other.

    "I just lamented how much money it would cost to build such a governor's office.

    Zhao Ru's deputy looked at it and seemed a little angry. He leaned into Zhao Ru's ear and said, "These corrupt officials don't know how much they have stolen from the people. The drought is already like this outside Mr. eldest son, we still need more money."  Do you give tens of thousands of silver every year to raise this fat pig?"

    Zhao Ru frowned and cursed in a deep voice, "What do you know? Corrupt officials are the best, and it won't be the same for someone else. The Wang Zunde before was not corrupt, so what? A million soldiers in the Ming Dynasty would stick to you even to death."  How much money can he take for himself, why not send it to the capital to support his positionIf you don't understand, just stop talking."

    After walking for a long time, maybe more than a hundred meters, I passed through the wide front office and reached the third hall in the middle.

    The Third Hall is usually the place where important and confidential cases are resolved, and where officials are received and entertained. Xiong Wencan held a banquet here today.  At this time, all kinds of lanterns and silver candles are shining brightly

    The hall is more than ten square meters, and inside it is decorated with high curtains and brocade screens.  There are dozens of hollow copper pillars hanging on them  Other minor officials who were accompanying him became very excited when they saw their boss leaving, and they all came together to respect Zhao Ru.  Zhao Ru raised his eyebrows and reluctantly drank a few drinks, then took his deputy and retreated outside.

    Walking in the courtyard outside the hall, Zhao Ru asked anxiously, "You said this morning that Shading Prefecture had reached the east? Is this news reliable?"

    The clerk nodded and said, "This news cost several hundred taels of silver. It was obtained from an aide of the Wuzhou Prefecture. He said that he had been heading east last month and was already approaching the east."

    Zhao Ru frowned, looked at the brightly lit second hall of the Governor's Office, and sneered, "I'm afraid it won't be as simple as approaching Dongdong."

    A gust of cold wind swept by, diluting the fragrance of flowers and peaches in the room a bit.  The silent monk suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the young man's back.
