And said that Xu Ang fell asleep, woke up early the next day, got up early in the morning, hastily ate breakfast and sat on the mirror hall in official uniforms, and waited until noon no one came to beat the drum and sound grievances, so he found Qi Niang to play double land in this hall, but Shen Li is very boring, many things in the county office are back and forth to report to him for instructions, Shen Li came, Xu Ang was beaten by Qi Niang every time, and the one who lost was called a miserable, Xu Ang looked at Shen Li how he was like a broom star, simply threw the dice, and stopped playing.

No one came to complain, Mr. Xu was bored and wandered around in the county office, and the officials of the county bureau looked at it, this new official took office, not to check our work, so they rushed over to Xu Ang for instructions, one is to show that he is serious about his work, and the other is to be familiar in front of the county master, yesterday the two cases were broken badly, Xu Ang is young, if he is promoted in the future, there is such a backer, it is also amazing, everyone comes to ask this and that.

Xu Ang was originally playful, and he was even more bored by this trouble, Chen Liang didn't know where he and Jiao Cheng were going at this time, so he found a reason to pull Qi Niang out of the county office, and the two of them each led a horse, went out of the county office, and walked south along the Slender Water River, but they were very interested.

Walked for a while, it was the afternoon, the weather was a little hot, I felt thirsty, I saw a hut under the embankment in the distance, I walked over, living in the hut is an old couple, about seventy years old, Xu Ang and Qi Niang went up to ask for water to drink, the four of them chatted happily under the tree in front of the house, knowing that the old couple are more than seventy, there are no children at home, there are four daughters, none of them have never married far away, they come over when they are free, but they have to enjoy their families.

"Old Sun! There is no water this year, and the harvest must be much worse! Xu Ang saw that Sun Laoweng was repairing the fish basket, so he asked

Old man Sun smiled and said, "Where! As the saying goes, the fish in the rising water, the shrimp in the receding water, although the fish is a little less, but the shallow water will have more shrimp, and it will not be harmful. ”

Xu Ang was happy in his heart, this old Sun was relieved, and said, "If you are so old, you still work by yourself, if everyone is like this, then there will be no beggar in my Great Zhou, and your old spirit is worth learning!" ”

"Others say that I work hard to be greedy for that money, but young man, you have a deep understanding of me!" Old man Sun glanced at Xu Ang with appreciation.

Xu Ang was also happy to laugh, and walked around the outside of the house when he was fine, and suddenly saw something similar to an account written on the wall with charcoal, and there was a poem in it

A cut of May Lawle

Over the years, he has been busy in spring, summer and autumn, and now in the cold winter, he is not idle. There is bitterness and happiness in the hard-working livelihood, and he does not admire wealth and wealth, but only loves small buildings.

Sore muscles and bones, sweat and rain. Win a bumper harvest, no worries about food and clothing. After a cup of wine at dusk, a dream is exciting, and the birds are noisy.

Read carefully, this word and Yi'an Jushi's "a cut plum" rhyme, but the artistic conception is completely opposite, in this world to see such a word, it is really fate! There is a line of smaller words underneath

The cat plays with its tail, entertains itself, relieves loneliness, kills boredom, and also replies to the world, laughing at my hard work is for greedy money, and I work hard as a country, for my family, children and grandchildren to reduce the burden, and enjoy myself.

When Xu Ang saw it, he was suddenly quite surprised,

"Mr. Sun, your words are really fun, the kid likes it very much." There are few literate people in this world, and those who can write poems and lyrics are also considered talents.

Old man Sun laughed and said, "Entertain yourself, let you see and laugh." ”

Xu Ang thought in his heart, there are so many things in this county office, now there are few talents, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, it is better to trick this old man into the county office to do things, then he is experienced, and he is also happy! So he identified himself and explained the meaning of his invitation.

When Old Man Sun heard this, he saluted Xu Ang and said

"I've seen the county magistrate, Old Man Sun, I also did some things when I was young, rich and rich, and my family has been in the middle for more than ten years, but I am used to life here, and my brain is not very good, I can only do some physical work, so I think it is exercise."

Xu Ang listened, isn't this? Talent! Where can you recruit them with just a word? I can't say that I have to look at the thatched house three times, so I just said a lot of things in that dead skin, but Old Man Sun didn't speak.

It's not that Xu Ang is too handsome and will put too much pressure on his subordinates, it's just that he doesn't understand Old Man Sun, this fishing is such a lucrative job, but it is cheaper and more expensive and high-income than contracting fish ponds. It's not a wasted effort. Based on the author's understanding of Old Man Sun, if he gives a hundred taels of silver a year, maybe it will be done, but he can't tell Xu Ang.

Xu Ang kept lobbying on the side, and the other three people also found it interesting to see that he was so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, and they did their own things with a smile on their faces, and after a while, Old Man Sun said

"Xu County Order, the old man is old, and he is really not enough, if you really lack talents, I will give you a way. In this mountain plain county, the king of Qi likes talents the most, and he is the prince, many talents come to join the king of Qi, many of them are also talented and learned, you, go to the vicinity of the palace of the king of Qi to recruit talents! ”

When Xu Ang heard it, yes! How did I not think of that? Yesterday, the king of Qi still wanted to recruit me, so I know that I have already been favored by the emperor, and there is a prince there, and now there is a shortage of talents in the county, especially the master! That's a great idea, go back and prepare now! Tomorrow I will go to the Qi Palace, dig the foot of the wall!

Thinking of this, Xu Ang jumped up and patted his thigh

"Mr. Sun really has a great idea! I like this thing the most, as long as the hoe is well wielded! There is no wall that can't be dug down, and the courtyard of this Qi palace is the Great Wall! I'll dig him down tomorrow too! Xu Ang said unashamedly.

Old man Sun saw that he was funny, so he returned

"I hope that the Great Wall of the Qi Palace, you dug it down, not cryed down."

When the four of them heard it, they all laughed. After talking a few more words, Xu Ang was absent-minded, thinking about how to dig the foot of the wall, so he said goodbye and returned to the county office.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the county office, he called Shen Li to come over and asked him about the lack of county officials in the county office and the standard of Yulu, Shen Li was very clear, 1510 said, Xu Ang returned to the room alone after listening and thought for a long time, how to dig the foot of this wall, and it didn't take long for a voice to come from the backyard

"There it is!"

(Author's note: This poem "A Cut of Plums" was filled in by my grandfather, and the following words were also written by his old man.) I was brought up by my grandfather since I was a child, and I learned the ability to write poems and lyrics, but I didn't learn the ability to drink at all, but I didn't fight anymore. If the book is good, show it to my grandfather when the time comes, if it's not good, hehe! Then don't get in the way of my old man's view. ）
