From the next day, Mao Bing saw Zeng Guomin leading a group of thugs, leading a group of people to catch fast, and walked into the Lishui County Ya with a brush, followed by the master Mao Xinsheng, who had good ideas, the solemnity of the official mansion was shocking, and the pomp of the official mansion was enviable. Mao Bing saw that the county commander Zeng Guomin was still sitting in the lobby in that black court uniform, pressing the shocking wood in his hand, Mao Bing couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: "The eldest husband should be like this." ”

Master Mao Xinsheng seemed to see Mao Bing's thoughts, he really wanted to see a joke, he walked out of the county hall and accosted Mao Bing, he said: "Do you think it's pompous?" You should go to Luoyang City to develop, you will definitely be more pompous than him in the future. As he spoke, he pointed to the county commander Zeng Guomin, Zeng Guomin's eyes lit up, and he only showed a smile at Mao Bing. The pomp and circumstance of the official mansion overwhelmed people, and Master Mao Xinsheng struck while the iron was hot and said: "If you know that this is the case, you should go back and study hard, this official position is yours." Mao Bing sighed and said, "Got it." Then he turned and walked home, his steps were very slow, he was thinking about something, studying and becoming an official, this is a natural reason.

The new county was built, the weather was new, and Mao Bing's uncle didn't have to sing anymore to live, he originally made a lot of money as a play, so Mao Bing's third uncle opened a textile factory, specializing in weaving, and hired ten workers. The school in the county seat is "Lishui Academy", which is located in the north of the Yanggang River, where it was originally a high land. The county ordered Zeng Guomin to rebuild the academy, the completed academy is high, there is a large flower bed in the academy, and the southeast of Lishui Academy is the old campus.

In this way, day after day, Mao Bing went to school in Lishui Academy, and every time he went to school, he thought in his mind: "How can I reach the state of the county order Zeng Guo." In fact, Mao Bing also worked hard, and when he was in class, he listened to his master's words very much, and he also spoke actively. However, the master always criticized him and said, "Mao Bing's students did not speak less, but their speeches were all wrong. This made Mao Bing feel very deflated. At the end of class, he complained to his friend Mao Yalei: "The master looks down on people too much." Mao Yalei smiled and said comfortingly: "The main thing is that the master and you don't have the right temper, and the reason why I look down on you is that I bullied your parents and thought you were an orphan." In fact, it doesn't matter, as long as you look at yourself, you are already the greatest happiness in the world. ”

"I heard that the county magistrate Zeng Guomin thinks highly of you, right?" Mao Yalei asked rhetorically. Mao Bing was even more angry, and said unhappily: "People are county magistrates, how can they afford a poor boy like me." Mao Yalei said earnestly: "Then why is he smiling at you?" And still a smile? Then he said: "Actually, you are also an official, but you don't read much." From now on, if you want to be an official, if you want to be a county magistrate, you have to study more. I said aggrievedly, "I also like to read, but I don't have so many books." Mao Yalei was angry, he said solemnly: "There are not so many books, go and borrow them!" If you go to borrow books to read, you will ask who has more books, and you will borrow books to read. I don't believe that Master will look down on you in the future. Mao Yalei looked at me and saw that I had the ambition to study, so he said: "With your wisdom, your talent, and your beauty, you are definitely a suitable successor to take over the position of Zeng Guo." I'm just a common man, I can't afford to be a big official, and I don't need to read so many books, but you're different, you're a talent, and you have great ambitions, how can you be angry with the master, and have the same knowledge as the master? ”

I hate the master, I hate the master, because he looks down on me, but the county commander Zeng people look up to me very much. Since then, I often see the county magistrate Zeng Guomin on the way to and from school, he often takes a group of people to catch fast, and walks together, it turns out that he is patrolling and maintaining the order of the county, that kind of heroic spirit, that kind of solemn bearing, inspires me and encourages me. But I hate my master, and I really want to skip school and walk with the prefectural magistrate.
