Chapter 11: Returnees
"International students? Gentleman? Oh, come in ......."
Xie Yucheng was a little absent-minded about Niu Er's report, he glanced at a villager at the table and asked, "Yuan Fei, right?" A few of you are very good, dare to rush to the front with Commissioner Ben, and count the first ......"
Xie Yucheng said as he lifted the pen, dipped it in ink, and was about to put pen on the book, but he immediately encountered an obstacle: he was stumped by the word "Fei" in the name of this villager, and he had also seen the traditional character of the word "Fei", but when he picked up the pen, he forgot how to write it specifically?
A few villagers at the table were overjoyed, and when they saw Xie Yucheng's appearance, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, what happened to this young official?
I saw that the ink on the tip of Xie Yucheng's pen was converging more and more, gradually converging into drops, becoming more and more round, and becoming more and more full...... In the end, it finally dripped down and fell on the ledger, slowly turning into a big black dot...... Everyone smiled knowingly: I can't think of it, I can't imagine it, this commissioner from Nanjing also knows the habit of writing in the village, and the word "Yuan" in his pen is really round.
Xie Yuzhen thought for a long time, and never remembered the traditional writing of the word "fly" in his memory, and just when he was in trouble, Niu Er had already led a fat man in a long shirt into the house.
The man had a round face, bright eyes, a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a strong bookish smell all over his body.
Xie Yucheng quickly returned to his normal state: yes, the person who came is a returnee, an absolute elite in this era, don't slack off...... Well....... For a returnee, keeping an account shouldn't be a problem, right? This brush word plus traditional Chinese characters is really annoying.
He put down his pen and turned to meet him.
"Special, special commissioner," Niu Er grabbed half a step and introduced, "This is our village's Wenqu star, Chen Qinghua's eldest young master, who studied in the East for three years, and only came back at the beginning of this year." ”
As he spoke, he introduced Xie Yucheng to Chen Qinghua and said, "Young Master, this is Commissioner Xie from the government, and he has great ability...... Hehe, that Liu Daworm only took a look at his face, and he was directly paralyzed, and he even struggled to tie the rope...... Haha......"
"Oh, hello wow, Mr. Commissioner, you solved a big trouble in our village as soon as you made a move, how can you ......be a great nobleman in our village" Chen Qinghua bowed his hand, his tone was sincere, behind his glasses, his eyes flashed with joy.
"Young Master Tsinghua has an overreputation, I'm just at the right time. However, as soon as the young master of Tsinghua came back, he presided over the opening of Zhen and opened the field, benefiting Sangzi, and the heart of a pure child is admirable! Xie Yucheng's words were also heartfelt.
The young returnee in front of him, although he did not have a beard, was a little like a martyr in the photo, and he looked a little worried about the country and the people.
"Young Master Qinghua, it's good that you're here, I'll leave this stall to you."
The two exchanged a few words, and Xie Yucheng couldn't wait to get to the point, pinched the brush on the table, and handed it to Chen Qinghua.
Chen Qinghua was not polite, took the pen, sat down at the table according to Xie Yucheng's prompt, and began to remember the merits for the villagers.
He wrote an authentic Xiaokai, and his handwriting was warm and handsome, compared with Xie Yucheng's insect seal and bird traces just now, it was tantamount to the difference between cloud and mud, and Xie Yucheng's face was hot.
Xie Yucheng didn't have time to feel more when he felt a gurgling sound in his stomach, followed by a dizziness like a lack of oxygen in his head.
Niu Er noticed his strangeness and asked with concern, "Commissioner, what's wrong with you?" You don't seem to look good! ”
"No, it's nothing...... Xie Yucheng hurriedly held on to the edge of the table, and took a few deep breaths before stabilizing his mind. Since yesterday, I haven't eaten for a whole day and a night, and my blood sugar is so low that it even affects my thinking.
It's good not to think so, but when he thinks about it, his stomach looks even more hungry. In order to divert his attention, he looked at the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall.
This is a typical Jiangxi dwelling, with a brick pillar structure, a high hall and a large house, an upper hall and a lower hall, and a patio made of blue bricks between the halls. At this time, the sun was falling from the ridge of the roof, caressing the moss on the green bricks of the patio. Looking at the angle of the sun, it is now nearly noon, about eleven o'clock.
"Special, special commissioner?" Xie Yucheng was outside the object, and at this time, someone beside him called softly.
Turning his head to see that it was the gentle Chen Qinghua, Xie Yucheng smiled: "Young Master Qinghua, have you made good contributions to everyone?" ”
Chen Qinghua looked humble, but his answer surprised Xie Yucheng: "Back to the commissioner, only more than 30 people were recorded, and more than 100 people were not registered, but I asked the housekeeper to do it for me, I want to ......."
"Oh?" Xie Yucheng was slightly surprised, thinking to himself, after all, it is the young master who is impatient to take care of such mundane affairs...... swept away with cold eyes, and saw that there was a middle-aged man sitting at the square table instead of him, sitting precariously, hanging his wrist and waving, looking at him like that, he was familiar with the road, and he was obviously a master of this kind of affairs.
Chen Qinghua saw Xie Yuzhen's eyebrows raised, and his face seemed to be smiling, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
At this time, Niu Er next to him looked at his face, understood Xie Yucheng's thoughts, approached him, accompanied him with a smile, and said softly, "Special, commissioner, Young Master Tsinghua is not a lazy person. I just told Master Tsinghua, I said...... It is said that the commissioner has just been robbed in the mountains, and the entourage has been separated. Now, the commissioner is afraid that he is already hungry and tired, and as soon as the young master Qinghua hears this, he will invite the commissioner to his home to rest for dinner...... So ......"
I see...... This time, it was Xie Yucheng's turn to look at the skinny Niu Er, and then at the honest and sincere Chen Qinghua, he was surprised and moved...... Well, it's very intimate, he can no longer maintain the high posture ......of looking up at the sky at 45 degrees just now, and he has the heart to say a word or two to ease the atmosphere, but at this time, the hunger in his stomach is even stronger, and the words are choked on his mouth. In the end, he only nodded honestly: "Yes, yes, yes....... Thank you for your kindness. ”
Chen Qinghua showed a loyal smile on his face: "The commissioner is polite!" The presence of the commissioner is a blessing to our whole village, and it is too late for all of us to rejoice...... Niu Er, don't you say? ”
"Yes, yes......" Niu Er nodded like pounding garlic, "With a commissioner in charge, we are no longer afraid of the Liu family." ”
"Mr. Commissioner, let's sit at home, please here!" Chen Qinghua stretched out his hand to lead the way.
"Young Master Tsinghua, please!" Xie Yucheng is a good comrade, a person who throws peaches and hugs Li, and he immediately corrected his mentality. Young people, it's better to be straightforward. It is better to die to save face and suffer sin, and it is better to do less.
"Young Master Qinghua, this ancestral hall in your mansion, from the architectural style, has some shadows of the Hui school, the ancestor of your mansion is not a local, right?"
"Hehe, the commissioner is really like a torch, and he can see the origin of my surname at a glance. The commissioner is right, my ancestor was originally in She County, and in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, in order to escape the war, he had to move here. It's been more than a dozen generations...... The commissioner is young, but his knowledge is so extensive, it seems that this Nanjing government is really full of talents. ”
The two chatted and walked out, and Niu Er followed step by step.
"By the way, Young Master Qinghua, this opening of Zhen and opening fields is not something that can be completed in a day or two. I look at the armor protection team in the village, the personnel are uneven, and the usual indiscriminate filling is not enough, not only will it not be useful at the critical moment, but it will miss the big thing. So, I temporarily formed a team to protect Zhenzhen. It's just that there are no weapons and no funds....... I also hope that Brother Tsinghua can take over this matter! Stepping out of the door and coming to the two pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, Xie Yucheng stopped and smiled at Chen Qinghua next to him.
"Oh, the Guardians? Okay, okay, I had plans to reshuffle the team, but I haven't been able to make room for it. When I went back, I discussed with Wang Baochang and a few village elders and took out a charter. Please rest assured, this time, I will definitely weed out the bad elements in the armor protection team and add more offspring with good character to it. For example," Chen Qinghua said, looked at Niu Er beside him, smiled, and added,
"For example, our second brother Niu, his health is a little worse, but his character is not bad, and he also has courage, since the commissioner has appointed him as the captain of the Zhen Protection Team, when he is reorganized, he must be retained......"
When Niu Er heard this, his eyes lit up, and he bowed to the two happily, "Thank you, young master!" Thank you, thank you, commissioner! After saluting, he looked left and right again, and saw that there was no one else around, so he approached and said in a low voice, "Special, commissioner, eldest young master, Wang Baochang is gone......
"Wang Jiagui? Could it be that there is something at home, so go back first? Seemingly...... You have to set up rules well, and you usually forget it, but now that there is something in the village, it is so out of tune, which is not very good. Chen Qinghua said dissatisfied.
"When I returned to the village, he was with everyone, but I didn't find him long after I returned to the ancestral hall."
Xie Yuzhen glanced at Niu Er, saw that there seemed to be a worried look on his face, remembered the performance at both ends of Wang Jiagui's head rat in Zhentou just now, his heart moved, and asked softly: "Second Brother Niu, what are you worried about?" Could it be that you think he will go to Liu's house to report the news? ”
Niu Er nodded again and again, looked left and right, and whispered: "Yes, yes, Baochang Wang is a two-faced person, and now, nine times out of ten, he went to Xikou Town to report the news!" ”
"Wang Jiagui? No way? What is he trying to do? If you want to talk about proximity, which one am I closer to this Liu Daworm...... I think Wang Jiagui is afraid that there is something at home, so he went back first, hasn't his wife been in poor health. Chen Qinghua disagreed.
Xie Yucheng thought for a while and said, "Young Master Tsinghua, in my opinion, we have to increase the number of people and strengthen the supervision ......."
"No......." Chen Qinghua said hesitantly, seeing that there was no trace of a smile on Xie Yucheng's face, he hurriedly collected the smile on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, since the commissioner also said so, I'll ask a team of family members to come over to help when I go back." Don't worry, commissioner, now that the people are in our hands, my aunt will not dare to come nonsense. Oh, by the way, commissioner, are you really going to escort people to Nanchang? Chen Qinghua looked at Xie Yucheng and asked.
"Why not?" Xie Yuzhen looked at Chen Qinghua's eyes and asked with a smile, "A person like Liu Dazhu is simply innocent. I will send him to Nanchang and try him according to law. ”
Xie Yucheng said, turning to Niu Er, "In addition, you have to work hard, Second Brother Niu, you go to Wang Jiagui immediately, if you can't find it in the village, take someone to block him on the way back to the village, remember, if he leads the people of the Liu family here, you will report it immediately, don't startle the snake." ”
"Okay, okay, the commissioner's orders, Niu Er will definitely do it." Niu Ermei smiled and straightened his thin chest.
