Chapter 635: The Tax Collector's Visit
Jiang Liuxuan raised his eyes to look at Bai Qichang and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Brother Bai?" β
Bai Qichang frowned, still with his usual warm appearance, and said slowly: "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you today, and I will go to the guest house tomorrow to look for you." β
Wang Lucao said slowly: "You can go and get busy, you don't have to worry about us." β
Bai Qichang nodded, bowed, and turned to leave.
Watching Bai Qichang go away, Jiang Liuchu said reluctantly: "Why is Brother Bai always mysteriously coming and going, and I don't know what he has to do." β
Shen Kang thought for a moment and replied: "Brother Bai has lived in Changzhou County for a long time, it's not strange that he has his own affairs to be busy, since he doesn't want to say it explicitly, why should we ask?" β
Wang Lu smiled and said, "I haven't copied books for a long time, and I really feel like I'm taking the exam today." β
Jiang Liuxuan nodded and said, "I haven't worked so hard for a long time, but after a few days, I feel refreshed, and many of the obstacles I felt in the past have also been solved." After a slight pause, he said, "Master, I am really a genius." β
Shen Kang smiled lowly and said, "If it weren't for the guidance of Mr. Qianjiang and Mr. Xiang, how could Wen Si be so clear?" What I have seen and heard along the way is that I have gained insight and improved my studies. β
Wang Lucao nodded and said: "Many truths that I can't understand in the academy will be clear after I come out, the ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books, and this is indeed the case." β
Jiang Liushu felt as if he was full of strength, in the past, he felt sluggish as long as he picked up the book, but now he no longer has that sense of powerlessness, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and copy, Mr. Xiang's words are wonderful, and I really benefit a lot." β
"Hahahaha, if Mr. Haoran and Uncle Jiang meet today's Brother Jiang, they will definitely be surprised." Shen Kang joked with a smile.
"Master, I have been diligent and studious for a long time!" Jiang Liushu straightened his neck and Liu Li Changkui, who was lying, did not blush.
"Hahahahaha......" was another burst of laughter.
And said that Bai Qi often rode back to the city, and he didn't dare to delay on the road, so he finally galloped back to Changzhou City, and just arrived at the gate of the city, he saw the Yamen honor guard, majestic, Wu Xianzun stood at the tuyere, wearing an official uniform and black yarn neatly.
Bai Qichang turned over and dismounted, stepped forward, and bowed: "Lord County." β
Wu Junyu nodded slightly and said, "Standing beside me, Grandpa Sun is coming." β
"Yes." Bai Qichang retreated to three steps behind Wu Junyu and said no more.
Wu Junyu said in a low voice: "I heard that Father-in-law Sun bought a courtesan in Suzhou, this woman is very powerful, not to be underestimated. β
Bai Qichang couldn't help frowning slightly, and in just a moment, he gathered the disgust in his eyes and replied, "Do you need juniors to arrange gifts for adults?" β
Wu Junyu shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not necessary, just be careful and don't offend." β
Bai Qichang nodded and said, "The juniors understand." β
It is said that the world is a man's world, but which man can live without a woman? Even this is the same with the physically defective eunuch, who still has to find a woman to soothe himself without that.
Therefore, the friendship between women in the backyard of officials is also a certain political factor, after all, the pillow wind is such a thing, which sounds soft, but in fact it is indestructible.
Bai Qi often disdains to use pleasing women to achieve his own goals, which is no different from most men, but if the situation requires it, he will not be stubborn because of men's self-esteem and the like.
Wu Junyu is very satisfied with Bai Qichang's transparency, and is also happy to have such an outstanding protΓ©gΓ© in the future, I have to say that having a talented protΓ©gΓ© is a very face-saving thing, such a person is worth hundreds of useless protΓ©gΓ©s, so he is willing to introduce Bai Qichang out.
After waiting for half an hour, from the south side, two people came, the two of them wore brocade clothes and rode horses, but they didn't mean to get off the horse at all in front of Wu Junyu, the horse kicked up the dust and splashed Wu Junyu, who couldn't dodge.
Bai Qichang rushed forward with an arrow step, blocking Wu Junyu behind him, and he was also splashed with dust. Wu Junyu pulled Bai Qichang behind him, and there was no displeasure on his face.
"Where is the Cheung Chau County Order?" Immediately, a person said proudly.
Wu Junyu was tepid and replied: "This official is here." β
The man smiled and arched his hand, "Offended." He said that he was offended, but he did not regret his actions at all, and then said: "Lord Sun has already disembarked, let your people arrange to welcome your lord." β
"Yes." Wu Junyu replied, and looked at the master on the side, the master stepped forward, quietly took out two bags from his sleeve, handed them to the herald, and said with a smile: "Bother the two of you to make a trip, this is my master's little care, please smile." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and arched their hands and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, my lord came to Changzhou this time as a tax supervisor, and I also ask your family to arrange everything, don't annoy Lord Sun." β
The master rolled his eyes and hurriedly thanked him.
When the news arrived, the two turned their horses around and galloped back in the direction they had been.
The master turned around and handed over the handkerchief, Wu Junyu took the handkerchief and wiped his face, and ordered: "Pass the order to the people below, no one is allowed to call the tax office by his father-in-law." You go and arrange a dinner party, invite Miss Yuqing to accompany you, and find a few beautiful Tsing Yi to sing a few scenes of loyalty to the country. β
The master surrendered and hurried to make arrangements.
Wu Junyu wiped his face clean, and whispered to Bai Qichang: "Prime Minister Concierge Sanpin, if you go on a career in the future, you must be careful to deal with these people, some villains are more difficult than adults." β
Bai Qichang arched his hand and replied, "Thank you for your advice." β
Wu Junyu looked at the guard of honor approaching from the distant scenery, and said calmly: "This Sun Hong was born in martial arts, and when he was sixteen years old, he asked someone to enter the palace and go to the imperial horse prison. Hmph, don't think that the Imperial Horse Warden is just raising horses and training horses in the palace and underestimate him. In the palace, if it is said that the celebrant is equivalent to the cabinet in the palace, then Sun Hong's imperial horse supervisor is the military department and the household department, and the imperial horse supervisor is directly twenty-six guards, of which the Tengji four guards are under the control of the imperial horse supervisor, and the procedures for transferring troops and generals in the outer court are "accepting the charm to invite the treasure", and this "treasure" is also in the imperial horse supervisor. β
At the age of sixteen, a teenager is already considered an adult, and he only purified himself at the age of sixteen, no wonder he has so much enthusiasm for women, and you can imagine how distorted and perverted his psychology is.
Wu Junyu continued: "Sun Hong is a commander eunuch in the Imperial Horse Prison, with the rank of the third grade, and the appointment of the Supervisor of the Tax Pavilion is the rank of the fourth grade, no matter which official title he is, in the officialdom, the official must be inferior, and being an official is the same as being a person, and he must learn to bow his head in order to have a day of raising his head." β
