按下后(hou)边。却说前(qian)厅宋(song)御(yu)史先到了,西门庆陪他在卷棚内坐。宋御史深(shen)谢其(qi)炉鼎(ding)之事:学生还(hai)当(dang)奉价。西门庆(qing)道:奉(feng)送公(gong)祖,犹恐(kong)见却,岂(qi)敢(gan)云(yun)价。宋御史道:这等,何以克当?一(yi)面(mian)又作(zuo)揖致谢。茶罢,因说起(qi)地方民(min)情风(feng)俗(su)一节,西(xi)门(men)庆(qing)大略可否而答之。次问及有司官(guan)员,西门庆道:卑职(zhi)只知(zhi)本府胡(hu)正(zheng)堂民望(wang)素著,李知县吏事克勤。其余不知其(qi)详(xiang),不敢(gan)妄说。宋御(yu)史问道:守(shou)备周秀曾(ceng)与执(zhi)事相(xiang)交,为(wei)人却也好不好(hao)?西门(men)庆道(dao):周总兵虽历练(lian)老成(cheng),还不如济州(zhou)荆都监(jian),青(qing)年武举出身,才勇兼备,公祖倒看他看。宋御史道:莫不是都监荆忠?执事(shi)何以相(xiang)熟?西门(men)庆(qing)道:他与我有一(yi)面(mian)之交,昨日(ri)递了个(ge)手(shou)本与我,望乞公祖(zu)青盼一二。宋(song)御史道(dao):我(wo)也久闻他是(shi)个好将官(guan)。又(you)问其次者,西门庆(qing)道:卑(bei)职(zhi)还(hai)有妻兄吴(wu)铠,见任(ren)本(ben)衙右(you)所正千户之(zhi)职。昨日委管修(xiu)义仓,例该升指挥(hui),亦(yi)望公祖提拔,实(shi)卑(bei)职之沾(zhan)恩惠(hui)也。宋御史道:既(ji)是(shi)令亲,到明日类本之时,不但(dan)加升(sheng)本等职(zhi)级,我还保(bao)举他(ta)见任管(guan)事(shi)。西门庆连忙作(zuo)揖谢了,因把荆都监并(bing)吴大(da)舅履(lv)历(li)手本递上(shang)。宋御(yu)史看了,即令书吏收执,分(fen)付:到(dao)明日(ri)类本之时,呈行(hang)我看(kan)。那(na)吏典(dian)收下(xia)去了。西(xi)门庆又令左(zuo)右悄悄递了三两银子与他,不在话下。
