Chapter 18 Miserable
Xiao Ding saw that Hu County's order was going around and around and didn't mention the matter of rewarding silver, so he took the initiative to mention it.
Hu Xianling was still unhurried, and said with a smile: "Oh, the reward is right, don't be in a hurry first, don't be in a hurry first." ”
Xiao Dingxin said that you are not in a hurry, but I am in a hurry!
I only listened to Hu County's order and continued: "Tian Zhuangshi, it's noon now, why don't you make a few good dishes in the county today, let the kitchen cook a few good dishes, and how about a few cups of drinks with the two strong men in this county?" ”
Talking nonsense with your eyes open! It's already afternoon now. Xiao Ding ate four bowls of wontons, how could he still have the heart to eat again?
"My lord, Xiaomin just wants to go back after receiving ......the reward," Xiao Ding said.
"Ah, haha, don't be in a hurry, I don't think you have to call me as an adult, today you and I hit it off at first sight, how old is the foolish brother you are, if Brother Tian Xian doesn't dislike it, you and I will be called brothers, what do you think?" Hu Xianling smiled.
"No, the identity of the adult is noble, and the villain is a rural villager, how dare he climb with the adult! The villain just wants to go back after receiving ......the reward," Xiao Ding refused.
"Hey, what is high or not climbing, the foolish brother has never disliked Brother Tian Xian. It's decided, if you refuse, you will dislike the foolish brother! Hu Xianling pretended to be angry and said.
Xiao Ding had no choice but to nod and agree: "Yes, my lord......"
"Why are you still called an adult?" Hu Xianling frowned.
"Ah, it's Brother Hu, the younger brother has seen Brother Hu!" Xiao Ding gave his hand back to give a salute.
"Hey, that's right, Brother Tian Xian doesn't have to be polite! You and I will be a family from now on! If there is anything embarrassing, just come to find the foolish brother......" Hu Xian Ling still wanted to continue to blow nonsense without shame, Xiao Ding interjected on the side:
"Hu, Brother Hu, my reward ......" After speaking, Xiao Ding looked at Hu County Order with a blank eye.
"I said Brother Xian, we are all brothers, so I'll forget the reward!" Hu Xianling said shamelessly.
Never mind? MMP, going around in circles with Lao Tzu for a long time, it turns out that I am waiting here! This old fox! He has the appearance of a harmless scholar who is harmless to humans and animals, but his heart is more cunning than a fox, and he has a human face and a beast's heart! Xiao Ding was so angry that he almost smoked.
But he didn't dare to have a seizure, so he had to continue:
"Brother Hu, as an official, don't lose your trust to the people! I can't help you fight this wolf for nothing, look at my wounded ......."
"Well, what Brother Tian Xian said is also right! Foolish brother can't lose Tian Xian. Why don't I take the two of you to Xiangmanlou to drink two cups of crushing shock? That's the largest restaurant in Luoxia County! ”
"Brother Hu, I don't drink, I want to reward silver ......," Xiao Ding said with a bitter face.
"Why don't you take the foolish brother to Qunfang Pavilion to find two little beauties to accompany you to be happy? I see that the virtuous brother is strong and strong, and he must be ......," Hu Xianling said with a lewd face.
"Brother Hu, I just want to reward the silver ......," Xiao Ding interrupted Hu County's order.
"Brother Xian, I have an ancestral ancient inkstone, which is a good inkstone, and the ancestor Hu Yan once ......," Hu Xianling said as if he was very reluctant.
"Brother Hu, I want to reward silver ......," Xiao Ding said.
"Brother Xian, you are really stubborn! By the way, Brother Xian, I see that you are young and promising, handsome and brave, I don't know if you have ever been married? I have a younger wife, gentle and virtuous, with a very beautiful face, who has just passed this year. If you want to ...... it," Hu Xianling said with a cheap look.
"Brother Hu, I already have a family, I just want to reward the silver ......," Xiao Ding said.
"Alas......, Brother Xian, you don't know anything, in fact, I don't have a lot of money on my hands! Otherwise, my side Sun Zhutou was injured at home, and there happened to be a vacancy, and you are strong in martial arts, so you are worthy of this position, it is better for a virtuous brother to come to me on an errand, but it is much more productive than you farming at home......" Hu Xianling said with a helpless look.
It turns out that going around and around, this is the real purpose of Hu County's order. Winning over talented people for their own use is a must-have skill for every official. Otherwise, even if you are an official, you will not be too promising.
"Brother Hu, I'm just a local bun in the countryside, I can't get on the big table, I just want to reward the silver...... "That's two hundred taels of silver, how can you say don't want it!"
"This ......" Hu Xianling was also a little speechless this time, he didn't expect Xiao Ding to be so stubborn, and he didn't get on the road with all kinds of temptations. It stands to reason that an old man in a poor country can have the opportunity to enter the county government as an errand, which is a good errand that cannot be sought, much better than two hundred taels of silver! After all, there is always a time when the silver runs out, and the errand is paid every month. Could it be that this kid is really a fool?
Xiao Ding didn't think like this, and said in his heart, when I go to your hands on an errand, I won't do this kind of thankless thing, I will be managed every day, and if I don't do it, I will become a black pot, how can I be at ease in my own home. There is no money at home, you can earn it, why be constrained all day long!
Hu Xianling thought for a moment, and saw that Xiao Ding did not have the slightest intention of relenting. He rolled his eyes and continued: "Brother Tian Xian, you said that if this wolf doesn't eat meat and takes it out and sells it, how much silver can it be sold?" ”
Xiao Ding didn't have an accurate number in his heart, and he heard Zhao Laixi say that if he got it to the town, he would sell it for five taels at most, and if he got it to the county and met a rich buyer, he might be able to sell it for ten taels. Xiao Ding thought to himself, if the county order is taken out and sold, others will definitely have to give the county order face, and it may be multiplied several times.
So he replied: "If Brother Hu goes to sell, he can sell more, and it is estimated that it should not be a problem to sell fifty taels of silver." ”
"Can you sell it for fifty taels? Not bad, not bad! Hu Xian Ling took a sip of tea and said, then turned his head to his little servant and ordered: "You go to the account room to get fifty taels of silver, and reward me with my virtuous brother!" ”
"Yes, sir." The little guy said yes and turned to go down.
Xiao Ding's eyes widened on the side......
Your grandmother is a bear, isn't it two hundred taels of silver? How do you only take fifty taels?
"Brother Hu, the text of the list says that there is a reward of two hundred taels ......," Xiao Ding reminded.
"Oh, that's right, the list says that there is a reward of two hundred taels, but that's killing or capturing two wolves. Brother Xian, you only brought one today, and it is uncertain whether the other wolf is dead or alive for the time being, so I have to give Brother Xian a wolf's reward first. Hu Xianling looked at Xiao Ding with a smile.
Seems to make a lot of sense! Who let himself eat another wolf with greed! Now even if Sun Zhutou is here, he can't prove the other wolf.
"But, shouldn't a wolf have a hundred taels?" Xiao Ding continued to fight.
"Yes, he who kills one shall reward you with a hundred taels. However, Brother Fool has now decided that this dead wolf Brother Fool doesn't want it, you can still take it away and sell it for fifty taels, which is also the price you said just now. A wolf plus fifty taels is exactly equal to your bounty, and you can't go wrong! Hu Xianling said without changing his face, and he also looked very reasonable.
Xiao Ding couldn't wait to be able to slap himself twice, make his mouth cheap, and say that it was worth fifty taels, but he fell for this old fox!
Your grandma's bear! MMP! You're a fairy board! Enniang's feet! Stinky your mother! ……
Xiao Ding almost scolded all the curses that came to his mind, and he hated Hu Xianling, the old fox. Xin said that his name should not be called "Hu Tu" (confused), but should be called "Hu Li" (fox).
I was miserable by him this time!
