Chapter 220: Chilling
"I can't leave Brother Jin Fu in vain." Guo Zhang looked up at the sky, it was past noon, and he was afraid that Xiao Zhi would suddenly arrive and bump into it not good-looking, so he smiled and said, "You go back first, after these two days, I will go to see you, but I will bother two cups!" I heard that you were also charged one or two hundred taels of silver at the door, and I have already investigated this matter—these dog minions are really not things! My brother still takes it back, and there are no more places to use silver than elsewhere! With that, he handed back a silver ticket.
Where was Jin Fu willing to take it, because he saw that Guo Zhang still had something to do, he smiled and said, "Let's enjoy people eating tea." ”
After placing Li Xiuzhi's mother and son, Guo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then called Guo De and asked, "What about your Uncle Qin Shi?" ”
Guo De is the youngest son of Guo Zhangtang's cousin, because Guo Zhangtang has never married, so he passed on to him. Since Qin Mengqi came, Guo De pestered him every day to talk about ancient poems and ancient texts, and the two of them were inseparable as if they had forgotten their old friends.
Guo De looked up at his father and said softly, "Yesterday, Uncle Qin Shishu and Xu Shibo took their son to see the flower market. Later, Uncle Qin asked Xu Shibo to send me back in a sedan chair. He said that he would have to delay outside for a day, and he would be back tomorrow! ”
Qin Mengqi is often like this, and it is not unusual, and Xiao Zhi may not come today. Guo Zhang didn't ask again, only said: "What is there to visit in the flower market, do you want to go for a day?" - What about you Xu Shibo? ”
"Xu Shibo" is Xu Qianxue, the former champion, because he walks around diligently in the house, and his family is almost the same. Hearing his father's question, Guo De hurriedly said: "Xu Shibo was ordered to visit a few old gentlemen in the Big Buddha Temple. When I came back, I asked Luo He to go with him to meet the guests, saying that he would come back after a while......"
"Oops, Guo Xiang!" The father and son were talking for a while, and Xu Qianxue's hearty laughter came from outside the second door, "Why did the house change so much overnight?" If it weren't for the two white marble lions at the door, he would have stepped on the wrong threshold in his later life! As he spoke, he came in with the curtain raised, and looked around while bowing his hand, "Ho! The shelves are full of books, the room is full of ink, it's really fascinating......"
Xu Qianxue's appearance is very ordinary, with goldfish eyes, hooked nose, a pair of violent teeth sticking out, blackened and yellow by smoke, a pair of tortoiseshell glasses hanging next to the placket with silk threads dangling and shaking, and the mouse's mustache trembling up and down when he speaks, how awkward it looks. When people see his dignity, they will unexpectedly think: "How can he be a champion with such a virtuous appearance?" "But he is a real first-class jinshi, a champion who knocks loudly, and he doesn't have to say anything about academic articles.
"Sir, sit down!" Guo Zhang patted the edge of the kang, waved his hand again and signaled Guo De to retreat, and hurriedly asked, "Have you gone to Luohe Mansion to meet the text?" How are they? Fu Shixing and Luo He are neighbors, so they should stop by to take a look! ”
Xu Qianxue "snapped" the fire, snorted and smoked a few puffs of cigarettes, and Fang smiled: "Luo He's wife is dead, the funeral in front of him is lively, and the back garden will be unwritten, and the words will disperse after talking for a while." These old gentlemen in Rohe's family are not as happy as the two in the Big Buddha Temple. He also said: 'Even if you don't get it, you won't come to Qidu in vain' - what else does this say? Fu Shixing went there, the shelf is very big, I don't see it! said that Du Mensi had thought about it - in fact, I also knew in my heart, Chen Menglei had already handed over the Dali Temple for trial, and it was estimated that the king would also try the lawsuit of the two of them, he was just avoiding suspicion. ”
"Okay, I'm a university scholar, just waiting to enter the study to Xuan Ma and worship the prime minister!" Guo Zhang pouted and smiled, "I'm afraid the king's tone will no longer be tried." But it's true that he wants to kill Chen Menglei, you must know that there are many unsatisfactory things in the world! Tell you, the king has secretly summoned Chen Menglei. He asked me what to do with it. Do you think that he and Master Fu did the affairs of two people, and there was no proof of death, but it just depends on the king's intentions, and people are good at killing indiscriminately? Chen Menglei is so good at learning, Wang Shang has always loved him, I asked Wang Shangfa to send him to the border, and he will be transferred back after two years of limelight. ”
"This case can't be tried." Xu Qianxue squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Dali Temple interrogated him, and I heard that he only asked one sentence and then quit the hall." ”
Guo Zhang asked in surprise: "How can that be?" ”
"They asked, 'Chen Menglei, why are you an official in Huang Jingzhong's rebel army?' "Xu Qian learned," Chen Menglei said, 'It is the envoy sent by the king in person on the 10th day of October in the ninth year of Xiao Zhi!' —How do you ask any further? ”
"And they scattered?" Guo Zhang couldn't help laughing, and Xu Qianxue said with a smile: "They can't bring the king to Dali Temple to confront them!" The two of them were talking and laughing, and the old king came in with a large stack of red prayer stickers, and respectfully presented them on the table, but slowly retreated.
Guo Zhang knew that this was all sent by the officials of the pavilion election without knowing how many joints, and he didn't want to see it at this time, because he saw that Xu Qianxue was about to resign, so he said: "Take these posts out and return them to them." There are thousands of officials who want to donate, who doesn't want to fill the vacancies? They all begged me like this, and I couldn't do it even if I was a thousand-armed Guanyin - tell them to go to the official headquarters and wait! ”
Xu Qianxue took the post and muttered a little: These donors don't know how much money it took to get to this point. I just asked Guo Zhang to see it, but it didn't work out at first sight. Why should I be a wicked man? He groaned, flipping the letters upside down in his hand. Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter erupted, "There are parents who give their sons such a name!" Xu Qianxue has been studying for many years, but he doesn't have such insight, it is really a big world, and there are no surprises! ”
When Guo Zhang took it and looked at it, he saw that the words "Xu Yu Mao Gong knocked Ming Xiang Wan'an" were written on the top of the post, and he couldn't help laughing, so he asked Lao Wangtou to go out and spread the word: Call this surnamed Xu in, and see you in half a month.
Xu Qian's students were afraid that Guo Zhang would give him any more difficult errands, so he bowed down and resigned. In a moment, a broad-mouthed official walked briskly, dressed as rich and adorned with white pheasants, kowtowed, and reported his name. "Hmm."
Guo Zhang half-leaned back on the chair, forced a smile, played with his post with both hands, and said in an official tone: "Come in!" Are you a donor? ”
"Yes." The official replied with a smile, "The county prince who was donated by Xiao Zhi for 14 years has gradually become the rank of prefect...... Oh, this time when I entered Qidu, my father ordered my brother to bring a good inkstone, dedicate it to the middle hall, and look forward to it......" The official said as he took out a boxy red envelope from his bosom and presented it.
Guo Zhang took it, his hand was pressed down, and he knew that it must be made of gold—but he was not in a hurry to open it. He just casually put the "inkstone" on the table and said: "The prefect's interest is already very good, why do you still have to drill the door?" ”
