Chapter XVIII
It is said that the county official is not as good as the county management, you Xu Caizheng don't care how big an official you are, how much relationship you have between the DPRK and the Central People, in the end, you have already left office and lived on the boundary of Gaoyang County, and the county knows that you can give you face so that you can be stable and comfortable, but maybe one day you can also make your family ruin with reasonable evidence, so it is absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with the county government.
Xu Caizheng regarded himself as high, but the two ladies had long understood this truth, so they called a few children up early this day, and each of them wore a satin dress, of course, Xu Zheng and Xu Jing were new clothes, and Xu Shande's was the old clothes that Xu Jing wore before, but they were all washed cleanly, and it looked like a feeling of oily hair and powdery face, which was the style of today's Song Dynasty scholars.
Xu Caizheng was also very satisfied when he saw the appearance of a few people, after all, what went out of his own door also represented his own face, Xu Zheng and the others were dressed brightly, and their faces were also bright, and then Gao Mang was called to send each other all the way, this battle also looked like a big family. In fact, according to the original meaning of the two ladies, they also had to give the donkey cart at home to a few people to ride, but first, a few young men took the donkey cart a little narrow, and secondly, Fuping Township was not too far from the county seat, so Xu Zheng and others declined the kindness of the lady, took the sticker, and received the usual copper coin, and then embarked on the road to the county seat.
After all, this is the first time Xu Zheng and Xu Jing went out, for fear that there would be a mistake, but Xu Caizheng was much calmer on the side, thinking that back then, he was only a teenager, so he went out to study. Unexpectedly, nothing went wrong, Xu Cai saw Xu Zheng and his party turn a corner, so he led everyone back to Xu's mansion and waited for the four of them to return.
Besides, Xu Zheng and the four of them, Gao Mang and Xu Shande are normal, but as soon as Xu Zheng and Xu Jing came out of the village, they instantly felt the vast freedom of the outside world, and the previous worries and fears all disappeared, especially Xu Zheng, you must know that even if the child is troublesome, he also wants to behave well in front of his parents, especially this is the first time Xu Zheng has come out to do things independently, leading his two younger brothers, and his sense of responsibility suddenly bursts, and he has already thought about how to lead a group of people to shine in the county government, and Gaoyang County has become famous.
Xu Zheng thinks well, but dreams still have to be realized by action, and from ancient times to the present, all actions need to have some material support behind them, for example, this trip to the county government, the most critical items are two, one is Xu Caizheng's handwritten paste, which is a certificate for the four people to enter the county government, and the other is the consistent copper coin, which needs to buy items to worship Fan Fuzi, but Xu Zheng was proud, and suddenly reacted, at present, these two things do not seem to be in his hands.
Xu Zheng carefully recalled what happened when he went out in the morning, and he was called over by his mother to tell him carefully, at this time Xu Caizheng took out the sticker, and gave it to Xu Jing, who was closest to him, and the money was robbed by Xu Shande when the housekeeper took it.
People are like this, when they grow up, they have to have the trouble of growing up, you see when Xu Zheng and Xu Jing are playing in Xu's mansion, what to eat and drink, regardless of each other, but when it comes to doing things, when it comes to their own vital interests, contradictions also appear, handing over the stickers, buying tribute, it is the time to withdraw the right of one of their eldest sons, but now they are robbed of the limelight by the two younger brothers, how can this work.
Xu Zheng immediately stopped and stopped moving forward, Xu Jing and Xu Shande didn't know why, so they also stopped, looked at Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng showed the majesty of a big brother at this time, stretched out his hand to Xu Jing and said: "I'm the eldest brother, this time we should go out with me as the main thing, second brother, what about the worship sticker written by my father, tell me to take it." "Xu Jing is only twelve years old this year, and she doesn't have so much thought about Xu Zheng, I don't know what the purpose of this worship sticker is, but now that Xu Zheng wants it, Xu Jing took out the worship sticker and handed it to Xu Zheng.
Xu Zheng was overjoyed when he saw that the sticker had arrived smoothly, so he turned to Xu Shande again, Xu Zheng also knew that his third brother was powerful and difficult to deal with, so his tone was kinder, and he said: "Third brother, the money we gave before we went out, you see that you are still young now, isn't it heavy to carry the money with you, I see that you give me the money, and I will take it for you." ”
Xu Zheng originally thought that Xu Shande, a four-year-old child, had never known what money was before, but now that he had walked a long way, he should have been tired, and as soon as he said it, Xu Shande easily handed over the money. But Xu Zheng was wrong, since Xu Zheng just now Xu Zheng told Xu Jing to worship the sticker, Xu Shande saw the signs, and now Xu Zheng turned to himself, Xu Shande had already hidden to the side, hiding the usual money behind him, and said: "No, big brother, since you have already taken the worship sticker, you can hurry with peace of mind, and you don't want to fight the idea of money." ”
Xu Zheng was immediately debunked by Xu Shande, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said angrily: "Third brother, before my father went out, he told me to be the leader and discipline you, how can you not listen to me, and besides, the money is not for you, but for Fan Fuzi to buy sacrifices, you just take it, and when the time comes, won't it be spent, what's the use of you holding it?" ”
Xu Shande said with a smile: "Big brother, money is naturally to be spent, but it also depends on what kind of flowering method it is, you take the money, you have your flowering method, I take the money, naturally I have my flowering method." Xu Zheng said angrily: "The sacrifice is nothing more than some fruit paper money, where there are many tricks, third brother, this time going out is extraordinary, the stakes are very high, you don't have to mess around, you give me the money quickly." Xu Shande saw Xu Zheng teach himself, and also twisted his face to the side, and said: "If you don't give, if you don't give, you won't give." ”
The two brothers are a strong temper, seeing that the scene is getting more and more stiff, they are about to start, Gao Mang, who is following behind, is already hesitating whether he wants to run back to find Xu Caizheng to pull the rack to prevent the two brothers from fighting, at this time, Xu Shande made a concession and said: "Big brother, since you want money, I will give it to you, but I can't give it to you, since we are three brothers, we will divide this money into three parts, one for each person, each has his own intentions, and everyone else can't stop it, what do you think?" ”
