It didn't take long for the county government to come back in a hurry, and said to Mao Yulong with a smile, "The county lord is in good interest, and he will allow it as soon as he says it, Xiao Xiucai Gong hurry in." ”

Mao Yulong thanked the porter and went inside.

Looking at this kind little Xiucai, who didn't hold a shelf, pinching the half-corner silver in his hand, the porter couldn't help but sigh to the companions around him, "I've been here for many years, and I've seen a lot of noble and lowly ones." I see more of those who pretend to be one step to the sky, such as those who show off their talents. For example, this little Xiucai, according to reason, the young man has the ambition, and he is famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang because of a sick plum garden, and he is looked at differently by the parents and officials of the provincial and county governments. What's more, because of this rebellion, he was put into the eyes of the father-in-law of the town, and he was directly rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, and the loss of 500 taels was not sure what kind of hair would arise in the future. With such a future, for those of us, it should not even look down on the corner of the eye. As a result, if you look at people, when they treat us people, they are polite and don't forget the rules. To tell the truth, only such a person can go far, my vision can't be wrong, this little showman will definitely be able to enter the court as an official in the future and soar to the sky. ”

The companion looked at the half-dime of silver in his hand and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, what the elder brother said is that those who can enter the eyes of your old law and get your evaluation are definitely characters who can't be wrong." ”

The porter laughed, threw the silver horn into the air and caught it, "Know the rules and abide by the rules, such a person can go far, so don't worry, when the shift is handed over, I will exchange this half of the silver for copper coins, how can we divide it according to the rules, I can't say that at night, I want to add a pot of old wine, and have a good time." ”

Passing through the corner door on the side of the lobby, Mao Yulong entered the warm pavilion of the county with a familiar car, and there were already scholars waiting outside the door, seeing Mao Yulong coming, he opened the curtain, "The county lord is waiting for you in the house." ”

Mao Yulong smiled at him and nodded, and then came in.

Entering the warm pavilion, he saw the county lord sitting cross-legged on the kang only in a jacket, with a book in one hand and tea in the other, shaking his head and looking at it, Mao Yulong bowed down and bowed, "The student meets the old parents of the county." ”

The county respected the book and said to Mao Yulong with a smile, "Come on, sit down, don't be restrained." ”

After a few walks, the county respected Mao Yulong very much like people, and there was a sick plum garden incident, which made the county zun look at Mao Yulong with admiration, and the courage and courage of the chaos also let him see Mao Yulong's wisdom and bravery. The appearance of such a handsome talent under his own rule also has a light on his face to this county, and he also attaches importance to it. Therefore, his attitude towards Mao Yulin became closer, and he took out an attitude towards his children and nephews, hoping that in the future, when this little young man is developed, he can borrow some light.

Mao Yulong sat down on the chair against the wall on the ground and said with a smile, "The old parents look more vigorous today, which really makes the students happy." ”

The county respected and laughed, "It's not that the mason you recommended to bring me, I set this ondol, but this difficult winter in the south of the Yangtze River is as warm as spring, and my rheumatism for many years actually feels great, not bad, not bad." ”

It is a great merit to relieve the pain of a person, and it is also the easiest way to gain the gratitude of the person. When Father Zhao and his son were released from prison, Mao Yulong, in order to express his gratitude to the county, also brought the relationship closer, and even promoted the craftsmanship of the pankang for Father Zhao, and took Father Zhao's father and son to give the county a fire kang for the first time, and the result was such an effect, and the county had a good impression of Mao Yulong.

After talking about the benefits of the fire kang, this came to the main topic "What is the matter with the jade dragon today?"

Mao Yulong said solemnly, "The student has been studying for the past few days, and he has encountered a few puzzles, so he has come to ask his parents for advice. ”

Good teacher, of course, is a common problem of people in the world, and when he is consulted, he seems to be knowledgeable, "The first month is the time of idleness, you can still keep your books open, you are really teachable, where do you not understand, and let the old man answer a question or two for you." ”

Mao Yulong said a few questions that he really didn't understand, and when the county respected it for a while, he gushed about his experience, and for a while he was talking about the Tao, and Mao Yulong did benefit a lot.

After talking about an hour, Mao Yulong accepted it when he saw it, so he sincerely requested, "The old parents' high-level arguments really have the feeling of making students feel empowered, so that students can suddenly open up and be better than reading for ten years." The student was cheeky and begged the old parents to make a motto for the student, hanging it at home, and always thinking that it would be a reminder to wake up. ”

Being asked for words, this is even more itchy, the county is interested, at that time readily agreed, got off the kang, Mao Yulong waited and put on shoes, walked to the desk, Mao Yulong grinding, the county spread out the rice paper, a little thought, a big stroke of the pen "diligence can make up for the clumsy" four big words with a wave. Then he taught, "Although you are young and smart, you must not forget to be diligent, learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, remember to remember." ”

While teaching, I took a look at it with a pen, and because I was in a good mood today, I was very satisfied with what I wrote, and then I wrote the nomination seal below.

When I looked up, I saw that Mao Yulong's body was already excited and trembled slightly, his lips trembled and he didn't know what to say, and finally touched the jade pendant on his waist, and finally touched the jade pendant on his waist. ”

Offering a pen is a rule, but also a means of officialdom, this is not a bribe, this is an elegant thing.

The county respected that a poor boy was not worth a few dollars, so he took it casually. After taking the jade pendant, a warm feeling immediately made the county zun's eyes shine, and the county zun has also given and received gifts, and has the ability to appreciate these treasures.

Look carefully, but see that this jade is warm and white, without a little flaw, from this extent, you know that you don't know how many people have to play to be so, and then look at the texture carving on it, it is simple and atmospheric, and it is the object of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, I was very happy, although there is a saying that gold is priceless and jade is priceless, but this object is worth at least one or two hundred taels in the world.

At that time, I couldn't put it down, but I said, "It's over, it's over." ”

Mao Yulong said solemnly, "However, this is just a trophy left by my father to the kid, and it should be given to the county honor." ”

When I heard that this was Mao Yulong's father's trophy, I was even more interested. Everyone knows that Mao Yulong's father followed Mao Wenlong to attack Zhenjiang and was killed, which was really a vigorous legend, so he said with interest, "Tell me, what kind of allusion is here"

Mao Yulong immediately gushed a vigorous legend, a singing and crying war in front of the county zun, with Mao Yulong's experience of listening to the book in later generations, it really made the county zun listen to it as if drunk.

A piece of ancient jade, and then pay this heroic legend, so that the value of this object is sublimated again, and it already has the meaning that it is hard to find.

In the end, the county respected happily and laughed, "This is a heroic talent, the world's elegant things, good, I will accept this jade pendant and bring it with me every day, which can be regarded as being with the hero and serving the national court." ”

Of course, the county was not dizzy when he was happy, and he came here with such a valuable gift, definitely not to preach by himself, a pair of calligraphy and paintings can be compared, and he didn't have something to ask for himself.

So he smiled and asked, "Have you been embarrassed lately, tell me about it, and see if the old man can help you." ”

Mao Yulong carefully blew the ink, "It's not, it's just a little confused, the students are still young, for fear that they won't be able to keep up with the progress of their classmates when they enter the school at the beginning of the year, and they will be embarrassed to the old parents." ”

The county respected and smiled, "It's good to be so motivated, well, if you go to school, you can't go home every day, Boss Qian, you can rest assured, I'll explain, absolutely keep your family safe." ”

Mao Yulong rolled the words on the one hand, and said casually, "Boss Qian has received this education, and his temperament can be accepted, and he will no longer be arrogant, of course, after three years in prison, his subordinates are also scattered, even if he wants to run rampant in Hangzhou again, he will not have that capital." ”

When the county heard this, he couldn't help frowning, thinking about it, it was true, three years later, Boss Qian was actually a wasted person, and there was no hope of his own helper, it seems that he still has to support one, and that Jingjiehu is a good candidate.

Mao Yulong rolled the words, respectfully held it and continued to say indifferently, "Besides, according to the neighbors, Boss Qian has also saved no less than 200,000 silver in the cellar over the years, and it is also a good choice for An An to live a rich urn." ”

Hearing this number, the county honor's heart couldn't help but burst, a waste dog who is useless to himself has a net worth of 200,000 yuan, which is a big number.

Looking at the county lord whose eyes began to blur, the corners of Mao Yulong's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, and then he hurriedly bowed his head and saluted to cover up, "If the old parents don't have any instructions, the students won't bother anymore, so please go." ”

The county zun pinched the jade pendant he had just gotten on his waist, and nodded absentmindedly, "Go, go." ”

Mao Yulong said goodbye and left.

walked out of the yamen, but it was already nearly half of the night, this section was really a singing and a serious study, but the county zun did not leave food, which made Mao Yulong feel hungry. So I walked to a steamed bun shop, just in time for a pot of hot steamed buns to come out of the pot, a big snow-white, overflowing oil, yellow and dripping on the snow-white bun skin, making people want to be slanderous at a glance.

Mao Yulong bought ten unequivocally, and after looking for the things in the bag left and right, he dragged out the county's Mobao under his armpit, and then went home happily.
