After coaxing Mai'er into the room and falling asleep, Zhuangzi went outside to the fire again. It was almost dawn by this time, and he was also very sleepy, and he didn't want to meditate anymore, so he moved the fire to a place. And then! Put the two stools side by side on top of the original fire, and go to sleep.

Before he knew it, the sun had risen, and the sun was shining down from the roof and shining on his face. He blinked and woke up.

Yes! This sleep is good! At least two hours! He had never slept so soundly.

"Hmmm! Not bad! It's good to be an official! In the future, I will never have to worry about food or clothing! ”

Zhuangzi said self-deprecatingly in his heart, got down from the stool, and prepared to practice his fists and feet in the courtyard, moving his muscles and bones.

At this moment, he found the seller standing under the eaves, looking at him.

Yes! The seller is good-looking!

But he didn't dare to see more, and the scene he saw last night appeared in his mind again, which made him very uncomfortable physiologically.

When did this sell go up? Yes! Her martial arts are also good, huh? There was no sound at all?

Zhuangzi thought to himself, he knew that selling a child would not be able to do martial arts. It should have been that she found that she was sleeping soundly and couldn't bear to disturb her, so she didn't make a sound lightly.

"Brother Zhuang!"

Just when Zhuangzi was about to practice boxing, Mai'er screamed and trotted over.

"I'm ready for breakfast! Shall we have breakfast? ”Нёǐуапｇｅ.сОМ

"Breakfast is ready?"

"It's done! I did it a long time ago! Brother Zhuang! ”

"Why don't you have any sound at all?" Zhuangzi asked.

"I saw that you slept soundly, so I walked lightly, afraid of waking you up! Brother Zhuang! It's not too early! You are a town official, and you are going to report to the town office after breakfast! ”

"Do you want to report it?"

"What kind of official are you when you don't report it?" Selling children said angrily.

"I'm also an official? Hey! A small town official is also an official? Alas! Zhuangzi shook his head and said no more.

When he was in the Qin State, Qin Xiaogong and Wei Ying both kept him as an official in the Qin State, no matter what, it was better than being the town official of this Qiyuan Town? The official of the earth is still going to report to the town every day? There's no need for that, right?

If you don't do practical things for the people, what's the use of going to the town every day to report?

Oh! Go get it! It means that when you go to work, you can receive a salary.

Zhuangzi stretched his waist and followed the seller back into the house. Mai'er asked him to sit there and not move, be an official master, and accept her service. The seller brought a clay basin with hot water and a towel in it, and held it in front of him.

"Official! Wash! ”

Zhuangzi glanced at Mai'er and said with a smile: "The official master hasn't rinsed his mouth yet!" ”

The seller's face turned red instantly, and he was embarrassed.

Alas! She sighed and said in her heart: I'm not a full-time subordinate or I'm unprofessional! Why did you forget it? It seems that I heard that I came over with a bowl of water, a bowl, and a towel first, and asked the official to rinse his mouth. And then! It's the face wash that comes to you. If there are two people in the family, one will come with mouthwash and the other will follow with washwater.

Selling the basin and leaving, Zhuangzi smiled again: "Laughing with you!" Where am I an official? Not so particular. Come, come! I'll enjoy the blessings of the official master today, and next time I won't allow it, I'll come by myself with my own hands and feet! ”

"Then what do you want me to do?" The seller whispered.

"Where are you? You're my sister! ”

"Brother Zhuang? I don't serve you, what do you want me to do? Eat for nothing? ”

"Why did you eat for nothing? You help me with the housework, the housekeeper, the housekeeper, enough for you! ”

"Me? I? That's all I do? I? ”

Zhuangzi shook his head and smiled: "You just do this!" ”

After breakfast, I was just about to go to the town office when the door of the courtyard was slammed.

"Townsman! Master! Townsman! Master! I'm Zhang Shan! Zhang Shan! Open the door! ”

The seller ran ahead to open the door, it turned out! It was the official errand last night, that is, the official errand who wanted to worship Zhuangzi as a teacher.

"Is that you?" Selling opened the door and asked.

When the official saw the seller, his face turned red all of a sudden. Remembering that he had seen the body of the seller last night, he was a little embarrassed.

"Hmmm! Morning! Zhuangzi greeted quietly. Ever since he was caught peeking, Zhuangzi has been lukewarm to him.

"Master! It's time to enter the government! You have to go to the town office first to report and put up your name. Zhang Shan arched his hand and said.

"So cumbersome, huh? Are you annoyed? Do you want to report every day and put up a name? ”

"Hmmm! Ahem! This is the rule of being an official! There are no rules! ”

"Come on! Come on! Is this annoying? Don't call me a town clerk in the future! Don't call me Master! I'm not your master, and I'm not a town official! My name is Zhuang Zhou! Oh! And also! What about last night's errand? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Master! Oh! Oh! Zhuangzi! Is it okay to call it Zhuangzi? That official errand? You say Lee! Come on! I sent him away! This man! The mud doesn't stick to the wall. ”

"Come on! Come on! Zhuangzi was a little impatient and waved his hand at Zhang Shan. And then! Walk in front and walk towards the town office.

When he saw that Zhuangzi and the official were gone, he closed the door when he couldn't see it. Go back to the kitchen and wash the pots and dishes.

After the business at hand was done, looking at this huge home, she had a sense of home. And! It's my own home, it's a wood-paneled house. After taking care of the kitchen, she happily walked around the house, familiarizing herself with the environment.

But? After a while, she remembered her brother who had just died, and she became sad again. Poor brother, in order to find food for her, he was beaten to death......

Woowoo......

The seller began to cry.

Under the guidance of the official messenger Zhang Shan, Zhuangzi had to carry out a series of meaningless procedures in accordance with the etiquette system of the Great Zhou. First go to the mayor of the town where to greet a set of almost, and then! Go to the name of the name and sign on it. Then go to the lobby and wait for the mayor to come up to the hall with the other town officials to discuss today's work. The mayor finished arranging the day's work and dispersed. As for whether the town officials do practical things or not, that's another matter, and these procedures must be followed.

When it was time to go to work, Mayor Town walked out of the backstage in a mock manner, and a group of town officials bowed down.

"My own people! Own! The meaning is on the line! The mayor smiled and waved his hand to everyone, and then reminded: "If someone from above comes to check the time of work, you will follow the etiquette system of the Great Zhou, usually!" Cheap! It's all my own brothers! Well! ”

Glancing at Zhuangzi below, the mayor suddenly felt that Zhuangzi was indeed a good person, not as the legend said, this person still knew etiquette! Isn't it free-spirited! Well! As long as you don't go too far, we can live in peace! Anyway! Everyone eats the food of the king of the Song Kingdom. Officer! That's it.

After formalism, there was nothing to do today anyway, so everyone sat together and talked about it. Just like some officials in the past generations, they sat together to drink tea and solve the private affairs that others asked them to do.

Being an official has this advantage, and in the name of being an official, most of the private affairs entrusted by others are done. If you want to do something serious and don't give them a gift, they will push it away with a Tai Chi pusher for various reasons, and they won't do it for you at all.

Zhuangzi had just arrived, sat on the side and listened, first familiarizing himself with the bird nature of each town official. Orthodox Taoists are like this, don't speak first, listen to others, and understand others first.

Before I knew it, it was almost noon. The chef from the town canteen came over and asked how many people were eating in the canteen, so he could go and prepare. Everyone said that they would not eat in the town office, and only a few idle people signed up.

By this time, the town officials began to disperse, and the day's work was over.

"Report!"

At this moment, the shouts of the officer on duty came from outside the door.

Everyone's faces changed, and they could be heard from the tone of the official: something big happened!

"There's another dead man over there in Nishiguchi! Seven or eight ...... died."

The official who reported the incident was so anxious that he couldn't even say anything!
