Chapter XXXVII

Early the next morning, Chen Laoli and Xiangzheng came to Qingque Village together, and asked Han Cheng to go to the county government to sign and draw a pledge, and completely settled the matter, for fear that if it was too late, something would happen.

Han Cheng was naturally happy like this, and without too much prevarication, he got into the donkey cart of Chen Lao's family, and followed the carriage of Xiangzheng and Chen Laoli all the way towards the county town of Mayi.

The seat of Mayi County is in Shanyang, so the county government of Shanyang County is also in Mayi County.

On the donkey cart, in addition to Han Cheng, there was also a big baby and his mother.

Dawa's mother, like Han Cheng, went to the county government together to sign and draw a pledge, and the matter of replacing the land was completely decided.

The Sui Dynasty and the two Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are different, at this time, the pattern of the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties for hundreds of years was only a few years old, the Hu and Han mixed residences, integration, the social atmosphere has been greatly affected, Mayi County is located in the north of the Great Sui, affected even more, the social atmosphere is much more open, and the status of women is much higher than after the two Song Dynasty.

Of course, in addition, there is a more direct reason that Emperor Wen Yang Jian married an extremely talented and relatively strong daughter-in-law, Queen Dugu.

This is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, extremely skillful, Yang Jian got the country, and sat firmly in the country, Queen Dugu did not help.

After Yang insisted on being the emperor, he was still very afraid of guilt, and the pampered young palace man was killed by Queen Dugu, so he could only sulk alone, and he didn't dare to say too much in the face of the strong Queen Dugu.

Because Queen Dugu doesn't like her husband to have more wives and concubines, there are not many three wives and four concubines in the families of Great Sui officials, and even Yang Guang, who is said to be the king of desolation, does not have many concubines in the palace.

Yang Guang was wronged for this.

From this matter alone, we can see the influence of Queen Dugu in the Sui Dynasty.

There is such a strong queen, and in addition to the overall social atmosphere at this time, it is certain that the social status of women has been improved to a certain extent.

According to example, the current mother of Luo Dawa, when her husband has gone out to serve and has no news, and the son at home is underage, she can handle external affairs as the head of the family, and the things she signs have the same legal effect.

The land of Dawa's family has also been regarded as a bag by Chen Lao, and today he went to the county government to sign and draw a pledge, so naturally he couldn't leave Luo Qian's family behind.

Luo Qian sat on the donkey cart, turned his head to look at the open carriage in front of him, and saw that Chen Lao was triumphant, looking happier than eating magpie, so he quickly twisted his head back, and then lowered his head and tried his best to laugh there.

After finally holding back the smile, he turned his head to look at Chen Lao again, and then continued to repeat the previous thing, this kind of operation looked at Han Cheng, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but sniff, his own aunt is quite good at having fun for herself......

The wheels crushed the road, all the way to the entrance of the county town, where there were still a few officers and soldiers guarding, but there was no big soldier like a gate god, maybe on leave, or he may have been transferred to another place to guard the city gate.

There is no need for Han Cheng and Aunt Luo to worry about the formalities, and they have two people, Xiangzheng and Chen Laojiao, who open the way there and get all the formalities done.

The two of them only need to confirm it aloud when the official asks, and then press the red handprint on the paperwork.

On weekdays, the township and the mayor, who look bullish in the township, now come to the county office, and they can't avoid accompanying smiling faces everywhere, and Aunt Luo, who saw this, secretly pouted.

The documents are in triplicate, one for each of Han Cheng, the government office, and Chen Laojiao.

"Don't look at it, can there be anything wrong with the government?"

After Han Cheng took the paperwork, he looked at it carefully, this thing was the most sloppy, if he didn't look carefully, if there were any loopholes in it, it would be troublesome.

As a cook who likes history more, Han Cheng still knows the traditional Chinese characters, which is practiced by reading the kind of history books that are typeset vertically.

The little official who was waiting for Han Cheng hurriedly pressed his handprint, and then Qi Huo, saw that Han Cheng did not press his handprint according to his instructions, but looked at it there, and couldn't help but urge.

"A country boy dares to fill his head here! Have you ever seen pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? Do you know how to hold a pen? Do you write your own name? Still pretending to read the paperwork! ”

Without waiting for Han Cheng to say something, a person not far away who couldn't stand it opened his mouth in a weird way, with a look of disdain.

It's no wonder that this person despises Han Cheng so much, it is really a pitiful situation in this era, the cultural penetration rate is low, and among a hundred people, there is not one who can read and write.

As long as a person can read and write, read a book, and then write some words, he is a fully cultured person.

Otherwise, the founding prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty would not have said such a thing as half of the Analects governing the world.

In this way, the main meaning is, of course, the importance of the Analects and the Confucian way, but it also proves from one side that Zhao Pu, who was not from a very good background, did not read much before making a fortune.

This was still the case when the Song Dynasty was founded, let alone the Sui Dynasty at this moment.

In the Sui Dynasty, the vast majority of those who could read and write were from wealthy families or wealthy families, and ordinary people had no access to these at all.

Han Cheng's dress is like the kind that has no chance to read and write, but at this time, he is holding a document and reading it, and it is normal to be despised by others, but this person speaks too harshly.

Han Cheng looked up and saw the man who spoke looking at him with disdain and disdain.

This person is not very old, only about one or twenty years old, and he is a clerk here.

Seeing Han Cheng look at it, the disdain on this person's face not only did not disappear, but became a little thicker, and after snorting lightly, he picked up the tea bowl in front of him in a posture that he thought was elegant, and drank a series of miscellaneous things such as mutton fat, green onions, ginger, beans, etc., plus the tea brewed with broken tea foam.

This person Han Cheng has an impression, it's not that he has seen it before, but after coming here, the seven or eight officials here are more or less busy with things, only this guy is fiddling with nothing to do, and Han Cheng can't raise the slightest appetite for tea.

And after boiling the tea, he only poured a small bowl for himself, and the rest of his colleagues did not have any share.

With such a donkey-like figure in the flock, it was difficult for Han Cheng not to notice it.

After looking up at this person, Han Cheng didn't say anything, but lowered his head and continued to look at the paperwork in his hand.

The official who originally wanted to urge Han Cheng again, but at this time, he didn't urge him, but stood there and waited quietly.

"Do you have pen and ink?"

After Han Cheng read all three documents and confirmed that the contents were the same and that there were no loopholes, he asked the official with a smile.
