Chapter 33 Pretentious
People live for their own interests, all the officials in the three provinces and six ministries are like this, Ma Changqing, as the chief secretary at the bottom of the officialdom, does not have too high consciousness, but this is not bad, it is better to recruit talents than to be jealous of the virtuous.
The smile on Ma Changqing's face became more cordial, and he asked Xu Deshan: "Scholars are also people, there must always be a source, I don't know where you are from and where you are from, if I have time, I am willing to come to the door to ask for advice and meet the respected teacher." ”
It is said that raising fists does not hit smiling people, Ma Changqing put his posture so low, anyone has to be polite and give face, but Xu Deshan is not, still cold-faced, and does not salute, and said with his hands behind his back: "My generation of scholars, living in no fixed place, the four seas are home, and now I have no fame, let alone mention the name of my parents and teachers, the day before yesterday, I heard that Fan Xianggong went west, and my county order is virtuous, and here is an incense case, and the county's scholars are called to worship Fan Xianggong, so I came before, but now it seems that the threshold of the county government is too high, I can't tolerate my idle people, so let's just go, and don't bother the master bookkeeper. ”
After Xu Deshan finished speaking, he turned his head and left, Ma Changqing heard it, his head was big, in the Song Dynasty, although he was a doctor who paid attention to punishment, all literati, there were some mistakes in their work, as long as they committed not unforgivable crimes, most of them were just demoted and demoted, and there was never a precedent for being exempted from the end, but what is the way to completely bring down an official, naturally there is, that is, to find problems in this person's life style, of course, at this time, the romance is the so-called gentleman, lust is not a stain, virtue is the foundation of an official's life, If there is a superintendent of the imperial history who knows which official is unethical, even if there is a trace of evidence or folk rumors, he will immediately go to the end and wait for the fate.
Now the situation is like this, the more Xu Deshan does not implement his identity, the more bottomless Ma Changqing's heart becomes, but one thing Ma Changqing can be sure of, Xu Deshan's talking and behaving like this can be an ordinary child? If he is asked to leave like this today, he will tell the outside world about today's situation, and the first person who comes to the door is to supervise the imperial history.
Don't take bean bags and don't use dry food, who said that the officials of Gaoyang County are not officials, and a lot of famous and unemployed people are staring at this position, when the time comes, Wang Quan will really be accused of immorality, and Ma Changqing, the main book, will not escape dry cleaning.
Ma Changqing naturally knew the powerful relationship in this, and hurriedly stopped Xu Deshan and said: "This son, Master Fan's new policy is for the people of the world, since the Lord of my county has invited the people of the world to worship Master Fan, how can he turn the son away, please please hurry up, I will introduce the son to Lord Wang of the county." ”
Xu Deshan listened, still didn't move, turned his head to look at Ma Debiao next to him, this was a naked demonstration, Ma Debiao immediately itched the root of Xu Deshan's hateful teeth, this kind of trick of showing off his might and being a child, Ma Debiao didn't pay attention to it, and simply turned his head and pretended not to see it, Ma Changqing hurriedly bowed to Xu Deshan again and said, "Little boy, please inside." ”
This time, Xu Deshan will really have to make inches if he doesn't go in, and he will be embarrassed, Ma Debiao is looking forward to Xu Deshan not entering, and he just found an opportunity to clean up Xu Deshan, but with Xu Deshan's cleverness, how could he make such a mistake, and immediately returned the salute to Ma Changqing: "Since the master of the book is kindly invited, the kid does not dare to disobey, but the boy still has one more matter, please agree to the master of the book." ”
Ma Changqing said strangely: "Little boy, please speak face to face." Xu Deshan said: "We are nobodies, now the county government is just to worship the soul of Master Fan, and there is no trace of other ideas to make friends with the powerful, and I hope that the master of the book will lead me in, don't be introduced, don't be ostentatious, I will wait for the worship of Master Fan, let me leave on my own, I don't know if the master of the book may be gracious." ”
In the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, what is the most important, what literary and martial arts, what means and skills, all have to be placed in the second place, only one virtue is the most important, what power, money, and beauty, that is what the laity will pursue, what? I am in a high position, with countless money and beautiful women, and I live a luxurious life? Alas, there is no way, this is not to help the people of the world, I tried every means to refuse, but the emperor's favor, I had no choice but to accept such a high-ranking official, I was really uneasy, uneasy.
In fact, not only officials, even the emperor, including Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, are all in yellow robes, and they have to push a few times, and they have to be the emperor as a last resort.
If you want to say that this name is so contradictory, the more you chase him, the farther away he will be from you, but the more some people stay away from fame and fortune, fame and fortune will follow, of course, the relationship between them has long been studied clearly by the superiors of the Great Song Dynasty, and the effect is not so obvious when used by Xu Deshan, a child.
Ma Changqing immediately determined that Xu Deshan was not a thing in the pool, and he would not be the champion in the future, but also the top three, so he hurriedly bowed to the ground, and even said a few words "please", let Xu Deshan to the main position, and let himself in the side position, leading Xu Deshan into the county office.
Xu Deshan entered, Xu Zheng and Xu Jing naturally followed, but Gao Mang behind him couldn't get in, after all, the yamen is not a vegetable market, there are always some rules, this Gao Mang is also interesting, seeing Xu Deshan out of the limelight, although he couldn't follow Xu Deshan into the county government together, but he also felt that there was light on his face and wanted to show his face, so he hugged his fists and arched his hand: "Slow down, sons, I'll wait again." ”
Gao Mang's action was clean and neat, showing the true colors of a veteran, adding a bit of style to Xu Deshan's life experience, so that Ma Changqing had to look at Xu Deshan more differently, Xu Deshan and others nodded to Gao Mang, and then followed Ma Changqing into the county office, and saw Xu Deshan turn around the shadow wall and disappear.
Gao Mang wanted to find a place to rest, but Ma Debiao on the side walked over, looked Gao Mang up and down, and asked, "Are you from the border army?" Gao Mang nodded and agreed, "Yes." Ma Debiao smiled and said: "Since they are all brothers, don't stand outside, let's get to know each other inside?" ”
The Chinese language is broad and profound, in which this understanding has many meanings, usually strangers meet, acquaintance may only be a name to each other, but in the rivers and lakes, this understanding and understanding, there are other meanings, literati make friends with articles, and martial artists, is to meet friends with martial arts, Gao Mang looked at Ma Debiao's provocative eyes, and knew what he was like after entering the county government.
The Great Song Dynasty has never lacked gentlemen with flying talents, and there is no shortage of iron-clad men, especially those who have been soldiers. ”
The man's pride, courage first, Gao Mang's refreshment, even if he didn't embarrass Xu Deshan, but just let Ma Debiao admit defeat, it's not so easy, what grievances, he can only see the difference after two moves under his hand, Ma Debiao turned his head to lead the way, Gao Mang followed behind, and the two also entered the county office, and they didn't know where to know each other.
Besides, Xu Deshan and others followed Ma Changqing into the county office, bypassed the second hall of the lobby, and went backwards, it turned out that this time Wang Quanzao invited many people, and the house was already unable to sit open, so he simply placed the place of worship in the back garden, and now the scene was suddenly much more spacious, and there was some free-spirited artistic conception, and the integral interest added out of thin air.
The back garden of this border county government can not be compared with the mansion of the government in the mainland, and a few willow trees were simply planted and a pavilion was built.
In China, from ancient times to the present, things like seating are extremely important, otherwise how can we distinguish the size and show the priority.
This time the worship activities are the same, the pavilion as the only building in the back garden, naturally as the center point, Wang Quanzao's seat is naturally located in the pavilion, can enter the pavilion and Wang Quanzao sit at the same table, are the county has a head and face, well-known figures, and other tables, is scattered in all directions, the closer to the pavilion, the higher the status of the person sitting, and the farther away from the pavilion, the lower the status of the person sitting.
It can be seen that Wang Quanzao's preparation is still very sufficient, in order to prevent the embarrassment of not having a seat due to the large number of people coming, Wang Quanzao specially asked to prepare a few more tables, and the people who came into the county office, which one did not come to move around and make good friends, so the people who were far away wanted to squeeze forward, and the people who were close wanted to go to the pavilion, even if it was a little crowded, they were willing.
In this way, from the outermost edge of the pavilion, a few tables were vacant, Xu Deshan and the others entered the back garden, and did not go to greet Wang Quan in the morning, glanced around and saw that there was an open space, Xu Deshan ran directly to this empty table, Xu Zheng and Xu Jing were very panicked now, and subconsciously sat down with Xu Deshan.
Ma Changqing looked at it, and smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that a prodigy is a prodigy, whether it is different, and I don't know if he doesn't know how to be polite, or if he really has a background, just this shelf, even if Zhizhou comes, I'm afraid that's it, young man, young man, your intelligence, I can't reach it, but the officialdom is sinister, how can you understand that you are pretentious, don't you think that others are dirty, I want you to be on the rise, but you are like this, it is really difficult step by step, no matter what, young and crazy, there is still a lot of time to indulge, I will say two good words for you in front of the magistrate, it can be regarded as taking care of you, how it is, it depends on your ability.
