At noon the next day, Hua Hu took several officials to replace the drums of grievances in the county officials. Attracting a crowd of onlookers, an elderly man asked curiously, "Lord Bookkeeper, what are you doing here?" ”

Hua Hu said casually: "The envoy said that the drum at the door is too shabby, and the people have any grievances to beat the drum, maybe the drum will be broken at once, so I asked me to take someone to change it to a new one, so that it is convenient for everyone to beat the drum and voice the grievances." As soon as his words fell, there was a round of good-natured laughter around him.

At this time, a convoy of five carriages was slowly approaching the street. Seeing a group of people gathered at the gate of the county ya, a middle-aged man sitting in the first carriage hurriedly instructed the coachman: "Stop the car." ”

Hua Hu's sharp eyes saw the convoy parked nearby, judging from the other party's pomp, it should be someone from the background, he quickly pushed aside the people in front of him, and walked towards the convoy quickly.

Before he could approach the convoy, the middle-aged man in the car had already gotten out of the car first, saluted him deeply, and said respectfully: "This official, you are polite." ”

Huahu hurriedly returned the salute and asked politely: "I don't know where Mr. is from, what do you have to do in Sheguo County?" ”

The middle-aged man replied: "In Xiayingchuan Xunyu, he came to join my uncle Xun Yu, I don't know if he is in the county office?" ”

Hearing that the other party was Xun Yu's nephew, Hua Hu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because the person in front of him looked much older than Xun Yu. He glanced at a few carriages parked on the side of the road, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the family of Xun County Cheng, disrespectful, disrespectful." However, at this moment, the county Cheng is not in the yazhong, so it is better for Mr. to sit in the county ya, and immediately send someone to invite Xun Xiancheng back. ”

Xun You originally heard that Xun Yu was not in the county office, and his face was still full of disappointment, but after listening to Hua Hu's words, he immediately said gratefully: "There is a labor official!" ”

Hua Hu made a gesture of invitation sideways, and said politely: "Sir, please come with me!" ”

"Official, please wait, I want to tell my aunt first." Xun You confessed to Huahu, walked to a carriage behind, and whispered a few words to the people in the car before walking back to Huahu's side.

Huahu took Xun You back to the county office, and when he entered the door, he called a government official and instructed the other party: "You go to the military camp quickly and look for Xun County Cheng to come back." ”

The official hesitated for a moment and replied, "Master, if Xun County Cheng refuses to come back, what should the little one do?" ”

After glancing at the convoy parked on the street, Hua Hu said with a smile: "You just need to tell Xun Xiancheng that his family has arrived at the county office, and I think he will rush back impatiently." ”

The two came to the signing room, and after Huahu beckoned Xun You to sit down, he was about to ask someone to prepare wine and food for him, but Xun You politely refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but the family is still outside the house and has not been settled, but it is very inappropriate to eat and drink here." ”

Seeing that Xun You was stubborn, Hua Hu no longer persuaded him, but made a friendship with the other party: "Mr. Xun, I heard that you once assassinated Dong Zhuo, but is there such a thing?" ”

For Xun You, although the assassination of Dong Zhuo was unsuccessful, as one of the participants, this is the thing he is most proud of. He nodded and said, "Yes, it is. At that time, he was a waiter of the Yellow Gate, and after the Dong thief entered Beijing, he made the heavens angry and resentful, and the ministers of the court and the central government were not convinced, so a few people discussed with him, and prepared to kill the Dong thief when he entered the court to see him. It's a pity that Dong Thief has Lu Bu by his side, and Wu Fu, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, was killed on the spot when he was assassinated. ”

"And then?" Although Hua Hu had heard about this, he didn't know anything about it, so he hurriedly asked, "How did Mr. get out of trouble?" ”

"After Dong Thief killed Wu Fu, he took the opportunity to capture people who disobeyed him in the court, and unfortunately he was imprisoned." Xun You sighed and said, "Fortunately, Situ Wang Yun interceded for me, and Dong Thief released me from prison." After being released from prison, he immediately abandoned his official position and returned to Yingchuan, intending to spend his life in Sangzi. ”

Hua Hu sighed, and then asked, "But I don't know why Mr. came to Sheguo County again?" ”

"A few months ago, Han Fujun sent someone to Yingchuan to invite his uncle to Jizhou as an official. Uncle Jia said that Yingchuan was a place of four wars, and it was not suitable to stay for a long time, so he took his family to Jizhou. Who knew Jizhou, only to find that Han Fujun had been cast and scattered, and Yuan became the lord of Jizhou. Xun You pursed his lips and said, "I planned to stay in Jizhou for a while, so I went out to travel around and look for the master to work for him." I never thought that half a month ago, my uncle sent a letter to Zaixia, asking Zai to come here to assist in the state-related order. ”

Hearing that Xun You was also here to assist Han Zhan, Hua Hu couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, because in this way, his hope of becoming a county magistrate or even a county magistrate was completely shattered. Just when he was discouraged and disappointed, he suddenly heard Xun You asking again: "Official, I don't know what your impression of this state-related order is?" ”

Hearing Xun You's question, Hua Hu suddenly remembered that the Xun family and Han Zhan were relatives, and hurriedly sat up straight and said: "Although Sheguo County is seventeen years old, he has courage and insight, if there is a capable person like Mr. to help, sooner or later it will be a blockbuster." ”

Just as the two were chatting, Han Zhan swaggered in from outside with a patch, he wanted to come over and ask Huahu if the drum at the door had been properly placed. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a middle-aged scribe sitting across the table with Hua Hu, he thought it was Hua Hu's friend, and he came here to visit the door, so he arched his hand at the other party and asked Hua Hu: "Hua Master Book, is the drum at the door properly placed?" ”

Hua Hu hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully: "Back to the envoy's words, the drum of grievances has been placed. Seeing Han Zhan nodded, he was about to go out, hurriedly stopped him, pointed to Xun You who was sitting on the side, and said, "Envoy, this is Xun County's nephew, Yingchuan Xun Yu Xun Gongda." ”

"Xun Yu Xun Gongda?" As soon as he heard this name, Han Zhan couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, it seemed that Xun Yu's letter was really effective, and he actually recruited Xun You, but I don't know if Guo Jia came with him. He hurriedly bowed to Xun You and saluted: "Little brother doesn't know that Cousin Gongda is here, how rude it was just now, don't be surprised!" ”

Xun You could still sit still, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen the envoy!" ”

Han Zhan couldn't directly ask the other party if Guo Jia had come to Sheguo County with you, so he could only ask something else first: "Cousin Gongda, I don't know where the family is now?" ”

"Back to the envoy's words, Mr. Xun's family is still outside the mansion at the moment." Hua Hu replied first: "Please ask Jun and Mr. Xun to wait, and I will go and invite the family members of the Xun family in." ”

Not long after Huahu left, more than a dozen men and women poured in outside the county office. Han Zhan saw two beautiful women, surrounded by several maids, walking towards his side. He estimated that it should be Xun Yu and Xun Yu's wife, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Seeing a young man in an official uniform walking towards him, the two beautiful women stopped, wondering in their hearts, could this be the new county magistrate?

Han Zhan walked in front of the two beautiful women, his gaze quickly swept over their faces, and then he bowed down and saluted the elder: "Nephew Han Zhan, I've seen my aunt!" ”

Then, he saluted the young beauty: "Han Zhan has seen his sister-in-law!" ”

As soon as Han Zhan's words came out, the two beautiful women suddenly turned red, and after glancing at each other, they actually covered their faces with the sleeves of their robes and snickered. The maids and housekeepers behind them were also smiling.

Just when Han Zhan didn't know where something was wrong, he only heard Xun Yu behind him say, "You made a mistake." The older one is your sister-in-law, and the younger one is your aunt. ”

When Han Zhan heard Xun Yu say this, he realized that he had made a big fuss, Xun You was six years older than his uncle Xun Yu, and his wife's age was naturally older than that of Mrs. Xun Yu, but he stupidly regarded the older Mrs. Xun Yu as an aunt, and the real aunt as a sister-in-law.

He coughed heavily to hide his embarrassment, and ordered the patch who was standing aside with a smile: "Patch, immediately take Xun Xiancheng's family to the backyard to settle properly." Do you understand? ”

When Patch led everyone towards the backyard, Han Zhan pulled Xun You aside and couldn't wait to ask: "Cousin Gongda, I heard from my uncle that there is another Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao who is also in Jizhou, why didn't he come with you?" ”

"Here," Xun You heard Han Zhan ask, and said helplessly, "But as soon as he entered the city, he got out of the car and left." ”

"Got out of the car and left?" Knowing that Guo Jia had come to Sheguo County, Han Zhan was quite happy in his heart, but when he heard that he left as soon as he entered the city, his heart became nervous again, he was anxious to know Guo Jia's whereabouts, and hurriedly asked, "Does Cousin Gongda know where he went?" ”

"Where else can I go?" Xun You said with a smile: "Feng Xiao likes beautiful women and alcohol, we walked on the road for ten days this time, and we have already suffocated him." Finally entered the city, and he naturally had to find a place to enjoy the beauty wine. ”
