Chapter 20: Guo Fengxiao
When the people walked away, Xu Shu and Chen Yi came in. The two of them heard it well outside, and Chen Yi said angrily: "These people don't know how to lift, please give an order to the eldest brother, and the younger brother will order the people to clean up their house, and see if they are still arrogant!" ”
"Nonsense!" Xu Chu said, "The Yellow Turban Thief is our current enemy, how can he be so messy?" ”
Xu Shu echoed: "Zhong Kang is right, if you don't win over the powerful in the county, it is impossible to resist He Yi's department with just five hundred people in the military camp in the west of the city. And once he is angry, the notoriety of Zhongkang's tyrannical administration will spread, and it will be difficult to win people's hearts again. ”
Xu Chu couldn't help but be discouraged when he heard this, and said: "Yuan Zhi, it seems that you and I think things too simply, Pang Shang and his henchmen are determined to hold my lifeline and let me be constrained by them." ”
"Shu is incompetent, which disappoints Zhongkang." Xu Shu said ashamedly, "But please bear with me for a few days, we will think about it in the long run." ”
It had to be like this, Xu Chu looked around, and suddenly said: "The county government is empty, and there is no trace of popularity, it is too unusual." Ayi, I will go to the barracks later, and pick some shrewd and capable people to add errand boys, no matter what Pang Shang does, the affairs of the county will always be taken over slowly. After a pause, he wondered, "There is another thing that is very strange, since there are so many vacancies in the county, where are the seals of these official positions stored, are they in the county Taishou Mansion?" Then my county order has become an ornament. ”
"Well, I also find this strange." Xu Shu muttered: "According to the usual practice, most of the official positions in the county are appointed by the county order, and the Taishou Mansion will not overstep its bounds, maybe the county is not at ease with us." ”
Chen Yi suddenly slapped his head, "Xun Jun handed over a large package to the junior brother and Gong Yan for safekeeping yesterday, saying that the things inside are very important, so it must be ......."
When Xu Chu heard this, he kicked Chen Yi's ass hard, "Why don't you go and get it quickly!" ”
After a while, Chen Yi brought the package.
Looking at the dozen or so ribbons neatly placed on the table, Xu Chu was slightly shocked. Xu Shu couldn't calm down, and said, "Zhongkang...... Xun Jun's kindness must be remembered in his heart. ”
Xu Chu nodded heavily, these seals are too important. A seal ribbon means that he can appoint an official position, and it also means that he can attract a talent, Xu Chu recalled Xun Yu's appearance in his mind, and said in his heart: This trust and kindness can only be repaid by guarding Yanling County.
At that moment, he took out the seal ribbon of the thief Cao and the main book, and turned to face Xu Shu and Chen Yi. Seeing this, Xu Shu took three steps back and slowly bowed down. Chen Yiqi said: "What are you doing here? ”
Xu Chu saw Xu Shu's movements and understood that in Xu Shu's eyes, these seals represented the majesty of the Han Dynasty and were sacrosanct. Xu Chu, who was infected, suddenly felt that the seal ribbon in his hand was much heavier.
"Ayi, you do the same. Now that the Han is getting weaker and weaker, we need to stir up our efforts and live up to this heart! Xu Chu's heart was agitated, and Xu Shu's solemnity inadvertently ignited his blood.
Seeing that Chen Yi also knelt down, Xu Chufang said solemnly: "Yingchuan Xu Shu, Runan Chen Yi, today you two are the main bookkeeper and thief Cao of the county, I hope to live up to the grace of the court!" ”
The two of them replied, "Oh! ”
Xu Shu stood up, his eyes were moist, Chen Yi saw it, and finally couldn't help but urge him to say: "Big brother, you look at Yuan Zhi, it's too ...... It's too young a daughter. ”
Xu Shu sighed: "In his early years, he studied hard in order to advance his body, but because of his father's early death, his family was in the middle of the road, so he had to imitate the heroic act of killing people for his friends, trying to make a name for himself." Now I have got what I wanted, although it deviated from my imagination in the past, but I couldn't control my emotions in the end......"
Xu Chu knew that the Eastern Han Dynasty implemented the probation system, and the appointment of officials was operated by bottom-up recommendation. Therefore, the families that have been officials for generations recommend each other for places, so that Xu Shu, a poor son who is dedicated to serving the country, often regrets it for life. In addition to probation, you can only rely on military exploits to change your fate, such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, if you have meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, you will be promoted exceptionally. But later, the imperial court laid off personnel, so that most of the people who were rewarded for their military exploits went into the wilderness, the most famous of which was Liu Bei.
Not long after Liu Bei was appointed as An Xiwei, the county governor came to inspect, what a brilliant person he was, he knew that the post supervisor was black, and he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being laid off if he didn't bribe one or two. So I went to the place where the superintendent was staying to ask for a meeting, but I didn't expect that the other party wouldn't even give me a chance to meet. Liu Bei was furious, tied up the superintendent, beat him and abandoned the official and left.
Therefore, in the eyes of many descendants, Uncle Liu Huang, who is extremely guilty, is actually a person with a temper and dares to act.
Off topic.
To get back to the point, the main bookkeeper is responsible for managing the documents and consultants, and the thief Cao is the master of the thief guard, and it is indeed appropriate to arrange Xu Shu and Chen Yi to take charge. The problem is that the county's heroes are not subject to Xu Chu's control for a day, and everything else is empty talk.
Xu Chu and the three of them muttered for a while, and couldn't think of a good countermeasure for a while, so they arranged for people to sort out the place where they lived first, and then moved into the county government to live. It was not until the evening that it was over, Xu Chu was about to rest, and Chen Yilai reported that Zifan had come to visit with a guy who looked like a son.
Xu Chu has been in Yanling County for a short time, and he has never made friends with any sons, so he asked: "Do you have a name?" ”
"Yes, he said it was called Guo Jia."
“……”
"Big brother, what are you doing in a daze?"
"Oh oh, quick! Come out with me to meet you! ”
It's clear that the other party's name is like thunder, but I still have to pretend that I don't know it, and this kind of experience is just for me. Xu Chu said in his heart: Xun Yu is really my nobleman, he just helped a lot, and now he has invited Guo Jia again, it would be great if Guo Jia could be left.
"County gentleman, what are you thinking?" At that time, Guo Jia had already sat down with Xu Chu in the county office, and Guo Jia saw Xu Chu staring at him, his eyes were empty, so he asked each other.
"Ahem, I was impressed by Mr. Fengxiao's demeanor, and I lost my mind for a while, forgive me."
Guo Jia is very good-looking, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, a fair complexion, bright eyes and bright teeth, sitting in the banquet, like a beautiful son in the turbid world, with a graceful demeanor.
"The county gentleman has won the award, and he is ashamed." Guo Jiajian raised his eyebrows, suddenly clasped the teacup lightly with his hand, and said with a smile: "I am presumptuous, can the county gentleman have wine?" This tea is too bland. ”
It's hard to serve.
Chen Yi, who was standing on the side, hurriedly apologized when he heard this: "I was negligent, sir, please wait a while, and then go and get the wine." ”
Guo Jia chuckled twice and said, "Thank you." He pointed to Chen Yi's back and said to Xu Chu, "This gentleman is very shrewd. "It's about Chen Yi in order to avoid Chu embarrassment, and he preemptively took the wine first.
In a few words, Xu Chu had a preliminary understanding of Guo Jia. He is not like Xun Yu, Xun Yu is upright and upright, and he maintains the demeanor that a celebrity should have anytime and anywhere; Guo Jia is informal, a little frivolous, and a little jumpy. Such a person either does not understand etiquette and is used to acting arbitrarily, or he has a natural personality and does not like to be pretentious.
Of course, Xu Chu knew that Guo Jia was the latter, and said: "Sir, don't call me a county gentleman, it looks rusty, just call Xu Chu the words." ”
Guo Jia bowed his head and said, "Okay." Then please don't call me Mr. by word, it looks like a big year. ”
