Chapter 263: Lord Wang, whose poetry is far and wide
The Department of Taxes is a new department, and it is currently uncertain about its specific functions other than the collection of taxes for business officials.
How this department will be formed and who will be in charge is a question.
It's not clear elsewhere, the work efficiency here in Heishui County is not so fast, and when the people above don't have direct requirements and restrictions, everyone ignores this matter.
How to pay taxes and how much to pay are all questions.
The problem in front of Wang Lanling is not the problem of the official tax department, but the problem of marriage!
Lord Xiao Wang is finally getting married.
When the leaves gradually turn yellow and watermelons can no longer be bought, the time has also entered the ninth month of the lunar calendar.
The people of Heishui County have finished planting and harvesting for the year, and the rest of the time is spent processing various agricultural products to make them easier to store and eat.
I also occasionally go to the field to look at the crops, weed regularly, and occasionally get some fertilizer to sprinkle on it.
Most of the time, I still fiddle with knick-knacks and other things, such as bird cages and slingshots to catch turtledoves and sparrows, fishing rods and nets, make tables and chairs, or decorate broken cars and farm tools at home.
In autumn and winter, many people are idle, especially in autumn afternoons, many people will gather under the sun to talk, chat, smoke and play chess.
This is true not only in Heishui County, but in most parts of the country.
The merchants of Yunshui County and Lingtong County gradually have some customers who are willing to take care of their business.
The language barrier is also gradually merged under a variety of novel cuisines.
There are more and more workers under Wang Lanling, and the monthly expenses are also increasing, and relying on the income of the windmill mill alone is a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, Wang Lanling's money is also increasing.
"Before I know it, I'm going to get married tomorrow......"
Wang Lanling sighed, he was not in Heishui County now, but in Yunshui County.
Zhao Gongru said with a smile: "Is the master nervous?" ”
This is a big mansion in the county town, and it is also the house of the dead governor, although it was given to Wang Lanling, but Wang Lanling basically will not stay here for too long.
After marrying Zhao Wenrou this time, the two will go back to Heishui County.
Wang Lanling has offended too many people in Yunshui County, and there is basically no place for him here in the future.
"Nervous, I don't know a lot of things, I don't understand the rules here, and I feel like time flies."
Wang Lanling sat on the stool, looking at himself in the mirror, feeling a little helpless.
Zhao Gongru and the maids around him all smiled, and Zhao Gongru continued: "Master, I'll dress you up again, and when you dress up, you will follow this tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." Wang Lanling responded, sat in front of the mirror and looked at Zhao Gongru behind him, brushing his hair with powder.
A brother from the Zhao family walked in, and when he saw Wang Lanling, he said, "Uncle, little official, the new shoes are here, you can wear them and try them." ”
"Leave it to me." Another daughter-in-law of the Zhao family took the shoes, squatted in front of Wang Lanling and said, "Uncle, I'll put them on for you to see if they fit." ”
Wang Lanling's shoes were quickly taken off, and then the woman grabbed his feet and put on new leather shoes.
Wang Lanling stood up and tried it, and quickly said, "It's okay." ”
When Brother Zhao saw it, he quickly said, "I don't feel good, it's too short, add some more mats." ”
After all, he is young, and he has only eaten and drunk well for more than half a year, and his body has not yet opened, so he looks like a young master from the outside.
In fact, it's not too short, it's just compared to Zhao Wenrou, just arrived at the other party's shoulder.
Wang Lanling looked at his new leather shoes, the heel was already relatively thick, three centimeters high, which was the kind of heightened shoes.
Soon Wang Lanling was tossed again, putting on makeup, trying on clothes, spraying perfume, shaving his face, and reciting speeches......
When he was working overtime to prepare for the wedding, a subordinate walked in outside the door, and Du Sheng said respectfully: "My lord, there was a congratulatory gift from Heishui County, and according to your instructions, I accepted a piece." ”
"Okay, I got it."
Wang Lanling agreed, the rules he took the lead in opening at the beginning, and now the favors in the officialdom are all one dollar.
Regardless of whether the people of Yunshui County complied with it or not, anyway, the people of Heishui County complied with it at the request of Wang Lanling.
This rule is only for officials, there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom, as long as it is not given by officials, then it is naturally no problem.
For example, if an official lets his son give it, it is not a violation of policy.
If you want to collect money, then you can find loopholes in any policy.
If you don't want to collect money, even if the policy allows, you won't accept it.
Wang Lanling didn't accept the money from Heishui County, but he accepted the money sent by the people of Yunshui County.
These people are not giving him money, they are giving it to the Zhao family.
Du Sheng soon went out to continue to help, today is a very busy time for the Zhao family, and tomorrow will be even busier.
The Zhao family has a wide range of contacts, and the people they know are all over Yunzhou, and this time many people will come to attend the wedding, get to know Wang Lanling, and also catch up with the old Zhao couple.
For example, Wang Lanling has only been in Heishui County for more than half a year, and he has known hundreds of people, and the friends of Lao Zhao and his wife are naturally far beyond this number.
Zhao Wenjian also walked in and said, "Lanling, my mother asked me to ask you, what else do you need here?" ”
Wang Lanling sat on the stool and let Zhao Gongru dress up, and said: "No, it's just that I'm not familiar with many things here, and I don't know anyone who will come tomorrow." ”
Zhao Wenjian said: "It's okay, someone will introduce you when the time comes." ”
"That's fine, is there anything else to pay attention to?" Wang Lanling has learned about the marriage in Heishui County, but Yunshui County is not very familiar with it.
Zhao Wenjian is a married person, and said with a smile: "Nothing, you have a good rest today, get up tomorrow morning and go over there to greet your relatives, pick up Zhao Wenrou in the courtyard, and then take it to the car and bring it here to worship." ”
Wang Lanling was stunned, and quickly said carefully: "This ...... What should I do if I can't hold it? ”
It is estimated that it is a little reluctant to hug it, but if Zhao Wenrou is carried from the boudoir to the carriage, it is really too heavy for Lord Xiao Wang.
Zhao Wenjian was also stunned for a moment, and soon realized the problem, so he said directly: "Then hold hands and walk together, hold your son's hand, and grow old with your son." ”
This was said by the first emperor, and the first emperor said everything, so that Wang Lanling had nothing to say.
"Okay." Wang Lanling agreed, it was naturally no problem to hold hands, just hold it.
It's over a hundred pounds, and it's not a child anymore, what are you hugging......
Zhao Wenjian said with a smile again: "The black eggs, tofu, and fruit wine you transported have all been put in the cellar to be frozen, and those cooks in Heishui County have also been arranged, and they will make the roast duck, roast chicken, braised pork, salted buns, and noodles at the banquet tomorrow." ”
For this day, Wang Lanling has done a lot of preparations.
The skills of many craftsmen are not Wang Lanling's business, but the business of the people of Heishui County.
The people of Heishui County in Yunshui County are all doing similar business, and they have also made some noise.
Wang Lanling took advantage of his wedding day this time to provide an advertisement for those people, so that those who like it will take the initiative to buy a copy when they encounter those food stalls selling food in the future.
"It's troublesome, the journey is inconvenient, when the guests leave, bring some candy and black eggs, and you can use them to satisfy your hunger when you are hungry on the way."
There is nothing particularly valuable in Heishui County, and if there are more things to say, it is ores and sugars.
The sugar industry here is not developed, and the sugar makers are all small workshops, because most of the consumption habits have not risen, and many adults do not like to eat sugar, so there are only two sugar workshops in the county.
In this era, the real main consumer is still men.
Women are proud of their diligence and simplicity, and traditional social morality and the eyes of the rest of the people are restricting this group of people, and they can't stand up for the time being.
In order to marry Zhao Wenrou, a daughter with a bad reputation, the Zhao family has worked hard for many years, and now they can finally marry their daughter with a big belly, and the whole family is relieved.
Zhao Wenjian said patiently: "Tomorrow morning is to pick up people, and then walk around the city, lively, come back at ten o'clock to receive guests at the door, eleven o'clock half to the church to marry, twelve o'clock to eat and toast, after the busy is to send off guests, later go to the back hall to wait for the chat and eat slower older generation, and then get to know each other." ”
"When these are over, that is, five or six o'clock, I will come to stay at that time, and then I will go to see my father and them the next day, even if it is okay."
Wang Lanling nodded, the rules here are a little different from those in Heishui County.
Zhao Wenjian said again: "The gift list is from my mother, and she will give it to you later." ”
Wang Lanling said directly: "Forget this, most of the people who came this time are for the face of the Zhao family, and in the future, Brother Zhao and his uncle and aunt will come to return the gift, it is not appropriate for me to accept this." ”
However, it was not for Wang Lanling, it was for Zhao Wenrou......
Zhao Wenjian said embarrassedly: "It's okay, it's all family." ”
After being told a lot of rules to pay attention to, and at the same time, after lying alone in the wedding room and sleeping, Wang Lanling was helped up by everyone before the sky was completely bright, washed and combed his hair, began to put on clothes and makeup, and pushed him into the steam carriage.
I ate two bites of rice cakes and drank a mouthful of porridge, but I didn't dare to eat more because I wanted to go to the toilet on the road.
Suddenly I didn't want to get married, Wang Lanling felt the coolness of late autumn and felt that there was nothing good about getting married.
But thinking that if he dared to escape from marriage, Lao Zhao Fei strode over, and after splitting himself to death with one palm, he still gave up this sad idea.
The people on the road were all looking at Wang Lanling, but Wang Lanling ignored them.
After arriving at the Zhao family, it was the servants of the Zhao family who came out to greet him.
The servants took Wang Lanling and Wang Lantian, Wang Lanyun, Wang Lanfeng, Du Sheng, Hu Wangxiang and others behind them to the attic where the bride was, and many young girls were looking down on the second and third floors.
Rules, Wang Lanling walked to the door and knocked on the door.
"I'm here to greet you, please open the door."
A cheerful female voice came from the door, and the owner of the voice said with a smile: "Why don't you understand these rules?" How can you say let us open it, and we will open it? ”
Wang Lanling looked dazed, and quickly looked at Zhao Gongqian, the party leading the way.
Zhao Gongqian quickly explained: "There are two kinds of opening the door for our relatives here, if you want to let the bride's friend open the door, either you can kick the door directly and kick the door open, or you can say something good and let the people inside open the door obediently." ”
it!
Wang Lanling is most annoyed by this kind of unclear thing, if he knew that there was still this one, he would directly bring Li Jian to kick the door.
Expecting him, a little kid, to kick the two-meter-wide door open, do you guys have a problem with your brains?
Also, Wang Lanling was speechless when she thought of this, she knew very well what kind of woman Zhao Wenrou was, when did Zhao Wenrou have so many friends?
it! Why do you guys like to cause a little accident? Where the hell do I have so much wit!
Wang Lanling was extremely uncalm in his heart, but after thinking about it at this time, he said to Du Sheng next to him: "Du Sheng, stuff some hearts for the girl inside." ”
Du Sheng understood, and quickly took out the red envelope that had been prepared long ago from his arms, and stuffed a red envelope through the crack under the door.
A dollar!
According to the rules of Heishui County, this is a stepping stone.
After a few seconds, the person inside quickly threw out the opened red envelope.
"Phew! Who's going to want your dirty money! If you want us to open the door today, write a poem, don't you look down on the poetry club? Let's see what you can do! ”
Wang Lanling was angry and panicked, angry that this person was so faceless, and he didn't know how to accept it when he saw it.
panicked that someone else asked him to compose a poem, and he was most annoyed by this.
Wang Lanling raised his head and looked at the attic, only to see that many girls were there happily looking at the side below, so lively.
If there are many women, they will naturally not be shy.
Wang Lanling retracted his gaze, and after thinking for a while, he stood there proudly with his hands behind his back and said, "Okay, let's compose a poem, please ask for a question." ”
As he spoke, Wang Lanling put his hands behind him and quickly hooked four fingers at Hu Wangxiang and the others.
Although he can't compose poetry, he will forget his hometown behind him!
This guy is one of the top few in the high school entrance examination!
On the one hand, Wang Lanling is afraid that others will know that he is uneducated, but on the other hand, he wants to show off very much, and he also likes to write poetry.
The women inside discussed for more than ten seconds, and soon shouted: "Just take the current topic and write a poem, if it is the love of men and women, you can't copy the quotations of the first emperor, and you can't imitate it!" ”
Trough! Wang Lanling didn't know how much the first emperor had said, let alone how many poems he had written!
But after thinking about it, Wang Lanling suddenly remembered a poem!
There is no moment of hesitation, and if you hesitate for a long time, you can't show your strength.
He glanced up at the big girls and little girls in the attic, then closed his eyes slightly, and then looked at the distant scenery of the forest garden and recited the poem.
"The morning is slightly cold, and the autumn is getting deeper."
one-step
"Looking forward to the pretty woman who has nothing to do."
Wang Lanling looked at the door of the big girl and the little girl in the attic.
After looking at those big girls and little girls, Wang Lanling shifted his gaze and took the third step.
"I don't realize that autumn is deep in my dreams, how can I still be for her."
The last two sentences came out in one go, and read out one of the few modern poems that Wang Lanling could memorize.
Hu Wangxiang and others were shocked, it was the first time they heard Wang Lanling write poetry, they didn't think it before, they didn't expect Wang Lanling's writing to be so good!
Look for him next time you write a poem, Hu Wangxiang thought.
The ladies in the gate also chanted Wang Lanling's poem at this time.
"Is this poem from the poems of the first emperor?"
The person next to him quickly said: "Definitely not!" [I don't feel that the autumn is deep in my dream, how can the remaining love be for her] Such infatuated verses are comparable to the first emperor's [If the two love is long, how can it be the morning and twilight]! ”
"Yes! If it's a similar verse, it's impossible that we don't know! ”
These girls often participate in poetry meetings, and they clearly feel the quality of this poem, although it is not neat, but the meaning is indeed very touching, free and easy infatuation and very firm.
"Open the door, this one must be enough." A kind girl said, "When there is a poetry meeting in the future, I must call him too." ”
***
When Wang Lanling and the gentle eldest girl boarded the steam car hand in hand to walk around the city, the poems written by Wang Lanling also reached the main hall of the Zhao family, and many high-ranking people who came to the wedding also knew this poem when they reminisced.
The morning is slightly cold and the autumn is deepening, looking forward to the pretty woman who has nothing to do, and I don't feel that the autumn is deep in my dreams, and the rest of my feelings are not for her.
"Congratulations to Brother Zhao for getting a thousand-mile horse, this Wang Lanling is brilliantly written, intelligent, and favored by the emperor, with the support of public opinion, and the future is limitless!"
"At a young age, the poems are quite good, let him write a few more for us to see in the future."
Wang Lanling's reputation for composing poems simply spread.
Is this a good thing for Wang Lanling?
Obviously not, he has not yet enjoyed the scenery of the first emperor, and he has first experienced the pain of the first emperor's old age.
Ahead, there is no way out...... (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
