Chapter 120: Red and Black

It was a crisp autumn morning, and after Tang Cheng got up to freshen up and eat breakfast, he went out as usual and went straight to the state office.

When Tang Cheng arrived at the Ya, the bell had not yet rang, but most of the people in Si Tiancao's office had already arrived first, although it was morning, but after a day's rest and vacation, listening to the voices of these swordsmen and penciers through the window was a little lazy and could not stretch, which was quite similar to the office atmosphere after the weekend in later generations.

"Everyone heard about yesterday's literary meeting", Tang Cheng, who was walking into the office room under the free corridor, heard this sentence inside, and his feet paused slightly, and he had slowed down his pace.

"Jinzhou is such a big place, it's hard not to hear about it", there was a sound of sucking water in the office room in the window, and after the sound of sucking was over, the voice continued again: "Not to mention that there is such a big movement in this cultural meeting."

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that Tang Cheng was so old, since he entered the government, he didn't show his mountains and water, and he didn't even say a few words, he actually had great talent, and if he wanted to say poetry, he actually pressed the other adults hard in the debate. I really couldn't believe it when I heard it yesterday, who didn't know that Ma Beijia was a genuine Ming Jing Kejinshi? ”。

"What's there to believe? Don't drive an adult is a genuine Jinshi, but how many years ago was that? Lao Liang, you inquire carefully, there are still a few people who are willing to turn the book after being released as an official by Zhongjin Shi, so after a few decades, the one that should have been abandoned has long been almost deserted, and when others were cowardly in the past literary meeting, they would not be more serious about arguing, this time when they met Tang Cheng, the dance of real knives and guns, did it show the false fire of Master Ma? ”。

"Lao He's saying this is reasonable", in the official room. Another knife and pencil clerk joined the discussion between the two, "The craftsmen who sell handles on the street still pay attention to not practicing their hands for a day!" There is no difference between reading and schoolwork. How busy should you be every day, you can't afford to eat flowers and wine and be praised by others, and it's strange to have time to read books? In the past, no one dared to take it seriously."

"Whatever he says, Tang Cheng, this kid is a big name this time, last night when the lights were in charge, my brother-in-law in the state school was still running to my house, I thought it was the old mother-in-law and the new mother's mother who had a fight. The brother-in-law is here to move the rescuers. After a quick question, I found out that this little rabbit cub heard that Tang Cheng and I were colleagues, so I came to ask him about the situation. That's what a thing, it's spreading so fast."

"Dechi, look at your unhappy appearance, could it be that your brother-in-law came at the wrong time last night, disturbing the good things that you and your younger siblings spread in the rain and dew? Also! Seeing that he was about to enter the alley, he encountered a 'horse wind', and even a man had to be in a hurry." Lao He's words caused Tang Cheng outside the window to laugh, and there was even more laughter in the room, which also swept away the lazy atmosphere in the room.

After laughing, Lao He continued: "If you want to say that our Jinzhou Wenhui is the leader of the horses, those crazy students in the state school have not been slandered about this for a day or two, and it is strange that they are not excited about what happened yesterday." Not to mention that Tang Cheng is still hanging the identity of Yunxi County School, only after the Yunxi County School is recommended in November, it is time for Jinzhou School to be a classmate with your brother-in-law, and you are honored, your brother-in-law is in addition to gloating. I'm afraid I have this in mind."

"Lao He, I don't dare to admit what you say, my brother-in-law's 'sex' is irritable, but he has always admired other adults", Yang Dechi said solemnly, but his solemn words caused a louder laughter in the room, obviously no one believed his bullshit.

Tang Cheng, who was standing outside the window, heard the words and laughter in the room, and a familiar feeling arose. Although 1,300 years have passed, it seems that the office culture that likes to arrange the boss is the same as the past and the present.

"Lao Yang, you can talk about it", this time it was Lao Liang who answered, "No matter what the ball said, after yesterday's literary meeting, Ma Beijia was completely planted, and the poems and debates on the same topic were both defeated, how can you say this?" Our adult is a good-looking man. Will he still go to the Wenhui in the future? How do you pull it down on your face if you go? ”。

"Lao Liang, what you say is. As long as he is still in another driver's seat, he will have to be the first in the next meeting. Maybe something like yesterday can happen every day? Lao He sneered, "If you want to say that the most unlucky person in the local literature meeting yesterday was Liu Jingwen, who spent a lot of thought and money to get rid of such a result, he is afraid that his intestines will regret it now!" ”。

"Yes, Liu Jingwen didn't have a good 'Sao' this time, those who know understand that his Wenhui yesterday was to tie up the farewell driver, if you don't know, I'm afraid that I still think about what kind of solid relatives he has with Tang Cheng, or I can't make Tang Cheng so popular, tsk, in order to make Tang Cheng popular, he didn't hesitate to use a horse to support his back, Liu Mingshi is a good handful, so bold", Lao Liang didn't finish speaking, and there was already laughter in the office.

"Lao Liang, what you said is too bad, so that Liu Jingwen has to fight with you when he hears it", Yang Dechi still laughed when he spoke, but after laughing, he sighed, "Speaking of Liu Jingwen, we are just fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, his sadness is all at once, we don't know when we will come out."

"What do you say about Lao Liang?"

"Needless to say? With Tang Chengliu's fifth-class position, he is compared with the five-grade horse in the stream, it is really a heaven and an underground, if according to common sense, in a local meeting like yesterday, Tang Cheng met another driver It was too late, let alone such a real knife and real gun, and finally stepped on the horse and stepped on the face of the gutter. ”

Hearing Lao Liang talk about himself, Tang Cheng's footsteps outside the window that Tang Cheng was slow to step on ants became more and more slight, and after a while of sucking and drinking water, Lao Liang continued: "Tang Cheng has been in our Cao for so long, everyone looks like a fool?" Ah, he's not stupid, he's not stupid, so why did he do such a thing? No matter what he thinks, at least one thing is stable, what? He's not afraid of horses, don't drive! ”。

"Lao Liang is right, but if there is a little jealousy in his heart, Tang Cheng would not have acted like that yesterday, and he didn't even save a little face for Lord Don't Drive."

"The ball is not! A few days ago, there were rumors in the yamen that Tang Cheng was the tacit judge of Sun Yuanjun's heart, but I still didn't believe it. How old is he? How could there have been such a young judge in the state ya, let alone our Si Tian Cao, now it seems that eight or nine are not far from ten! Thinking about it, Ma Beijia is the secretary in charge of the state government, Tang Cheng wants to really be the judge of this Cao, as far as the relationship between him and the other driver is concerned, we can be a person if we are sandwiched in the middle. Lean in, you have to commit the taboo of not driving adults. But ignore them as you do now. I'm afraid I can't live the present life. I asked last time I came to Yunxi County, don't look at Tang Cheng's young age, but his scheming methods are not weak at all, and he will live in the future...... It's hard! ”。

Lao Liang's words couldn't be clearer, and the swords and pens in the office room looked back and thought about what they teased Liu Jingwen just now, but it's not fucking fifty steps and a hundred steps! All of a sudden, Si Tian Cao's official room, which was still laughing just now, became very dull, and only sighed one after another, and it became more and more helpless in this dullness.

Tang Cheng's depression and worry about the swords and pens couldn't help at all. Whether he can take over this judgment is still a matter of two words, that is, he can take over without a doubt, and it will not be his turn to say anything before he takes office. Besides, since I joined the state government a few days ago, although these people are colleagues. But for his colleague sitting in an office room, he regarded it as "air", and when he was depressed, did anyone come to comfort him?

If you can't stand up your waist, you have to endure depression like this! Maybe after this depression, I can change the "hair" of snobbery in the red!

Tang Cheng thought like this in his heart, and his voice gradually became heavier under his feet. All the way to the office.

Seeing that it was him who came in, the office room that had been quiet just now became more and more silent, but in this silence there was obviously a misty restlessness, Tang Cheng could obviously feel the peeking glances of his colleagues in the process of walking all the way to the corner of the bookcase.

Ignoring this, Tang Cheng took the yellowed scroll on the bookcase and looked at it carefully as he had done a few days ago, it was still reasonable for Zhang Xianling to say that day, if he wanted to understand the affairs of the yamen. It's a good idea to look at old texts from the past.

As Tang Cheng once again put on this posture that had been consistent for more than ten days, I don't know if it was Lao Liang or Lao He who let out a sigh, and then this sigh sounded everywhere in the huge office room like it would be contagious.

Another change in the official room of the Jinzhou Prefecture Yasi Tian Cao is quiet, although Tang Cheng was also there a few days ago, but because he is an "air", when other knives and pens take care of the business at hand, they will be accustomed to the "sex" "insertion" department to talk, but today is really weird. People are still the same people. The place is still this place, and even the cooking things are pretty much the same. However, the mainland of the official room "inserted" the joke, but there is no half of it.

When the swords and pens were busy with official business, the most common action they did was to glance at Tang Cheng's book case from the corner of their eyes.

Although no one took the initiative to talk to him in front of everyone, invisibly, Tang Cheng has really become the focus of this official room, and his presence and every move may even have the ability to affect the atmosphere of the entire official room.

At this point, Tang Cheng is no longer the same "air" in and out.

About half an hour later, Tang Cheng sat on the ground and was tired, and when he put down his Chinese scroll and was about to take the opportunity to loosen his body in the toilet, the miscellaneous servant who came in from the door of the official room came directly to his book case, and said that Master Chen, who was the military officer of the record, invited him to see him.

According to the routine at that time, as early as the first day of Tang Cheng's entry into the yamen, Chen Bo should have met him, but Chen Bo did not do it, seeing that more than ten days had passed, why did he suddenly come out like this?

Thinking of the discussion he heard outside the window just now and the anomaly in the office room at this time, could it be that he also heard about yesterday's meeting?

"Well, I know, you go first, I'll come later", after finishing speaking, seeing that the handyman was a little stunned, Tang Cheng looked at him with a smile, "Anything else?" ”。

"Ah...... No", after witnessing the handyman go, Tang Chengzhong, who had wanted to go out and relax and loose, sat down again, and after pausing for a while to drink the tea in the cup, he got up and dusted off his bamboo-patterned shirt and went to Chen Bo's office.

Through the wide open carved wooden window, Tang Cheng walked away. A suppressed sigh of relief sounded in the silent office.

"Look, I'm not wrong", it was Lao He who spoke first as usual, "I didn't look at my face for more than ten days, and suddenly sent someone to bring the word 'please', when did we Chen join the army to be so polite to his subordinates?" This is the limelight...... It's really changed."

"Well, got it. You go first, I'll come later", and then Lao He spoke to Lao Liang, and after he first learned what Tang Cheng had just said, he said in a loud voice: "Listen to these words, think about his demeanor again, let's all go." This Tang Cheng's heart is very steady! ”。

At this moment, Xiao Miao, who had always been the least talkative in Si Tian Cao's office, suddenly "interjected" and answered, "Did we go too far a few days ago?" ”。

No one answered, and the sighs resumed. Damn it, this yamen meal is really not delicious!

Chen Bo, the secretary of the Jinzhou Yamen and the military officer, is a middle-aged man in his forties. This person has two biggest characteristics, one is black, and the other is thin, so his facial features are lined very tightly. In particular, a pair of eyes seem to be very focused, in a word, this person looks like the kind of smart person who will shake his whole body at the slightest touch.

The state government is a Cao judge, and there is also a dedicated independent office, not to mention Chen Bo. When Tang Cheng came in, he was looking at a document with a matter.

After making Tang Cheng wait for a while, Chen Bo raised his head, "Tang Lu is here?" Sit, sit down". As he spoke, he waved his hand to dismiss the miscellaneous servants and walked over from behind the bookcase, first covered the door, and then went to get the tea pot to pour water for Tang Cheng.

Entering the door and drying it first, and after the miscellaneous servants left, they were so affectionate, and at this time, seeing Chen Bo to serve tea in person, Tang Cheng unexpectedly remembered the scene when he was in Yunxi County, and Zhang County ordered Zhao Laohudi.

Don't be an official. Being an official is average! Chen Bo's performance at this time was really similar to that of Zhang County's order that day.

"Don't dare to bother adults". The smile on Tang Cheng's face was not inferior to Chen Bo's, and he rushed to mention the tea pot in front of him and poured the tea. After Tang Cheng personally delivered the poured tea to Chen Bo, he asked with a smile, "Why did the unknown adults come to me?" ”。

Tang Cheng and Chen Bodi's conversation lasted for more than half an hour before it ended, and Chen had to say that he was too busy a few days ago to forget about the meeting. And Tang Cheng naturally wanted to say "it's okay", and smiled to show understanding.

After these words are finished, Chen Bo did not mention yesterday's literary meeting, but in this occasion where there are only two people, the smile on his face is really kind, there is a little bit of "black-faced Chen" in the mouth of the knife and pen?

Speaking of which, going around and around, there is actually only one topic he pays attention to - what is the relationship between Tang Cheng and Sun Yuanjun?

As a traverser, although Tang Cheng doesn't like this kind of twists and turns, but since Chen Bo likes it, he can only accompany him, and the biggest thing he says along this topic is gratitude, thank Sun Yuanjun for being able to take time out of his busy schedule to participate in his wedding, thank Sun Yuanjun for his appreciation and transfer him from Yunxi to Jinzhou, etc.

There were a lot of words of thanks, but they were all known to Chen Bo, but at the end, Tang Chengcai vaguely mentioned Sun Yuanjun's wife, Mrs. Sun and Wu Yujun in his words, "If you want to say that Wu Yujun is good at everything, it is too good a woman', Mrs. Sun can't restrain him so tightly, but Mrs. Sun is still counting when she speaks."

Chen Bo was nothing when he heard Tang Cheng talk about Wu Yujun and Mrs. Sun, but when he mentioned Mrs. Sun, the corner of the eyes of the military officer suddenly pinched.

Sun Zhijun is a filial son, after the old lady came over this time, although there were many people who invited him, but for fear that he would not be able to hold back the tired old lady after opening the mouth, Sun Yuanjun refused to see all the places, speaking of which Chen Bo is also a figure with a head and face in the yamen, but until now he has not really seen the old lady herself, Tang Cheng ......

Chen Bo thought about it like this in his heart, but the expression on his face did not move, and he still maintained the warm smile just now, "Yes, Brother Wu is indeed too romantic."

"Man!" When Tang Cheng said this, he looked at Chen Bo and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, but there was a tacit understanding in this smile, only the ghost knew.

Subsequently, the topic changed again, and Chen Bo, who was scolding his face, began to talk about business, and now the biggest business involving Tang Cheng is his work arrangement, after all, Si Tian Cao judged that the division was vacant, and now Chen Bo is in charge, he does not say anything about the specific arrangements, and Tang Cheng has nothing to do like a few days ago.

"Long before Tang Lushi entered the government, I deliberately wanted to reorganize Si Tian Cao's job arrangement, but I was busy with other things a few days ago and delayed, so I will start this matter in the next two days. As for the next few days, you can look for some previous documents and books, so that you can be familiar with Si Tian Cao's things."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, it's okay to arrange it no matter how the adults do."

After saying everything that should be said, Tang Cheng got up to say goodbye, and Chen Bo sent him to the door of the official room.

"In a few days, Sun Yuanjun should come back, this Chen Bo really doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles", when he walked out of the official room, Tang Cheng had such a thought in his heart.

In the official room, Chen Bo watched Tang Cheng disappear through the gap on the side of the door, "This kid is very slippery!" It's just that he is from Honzhou, and Lord Sun is from Shannan Dongdao, and between the two of them...... What exactly is the relationship ......".

Time passed day by day, and seeing that Tang Cheng was still reading the scroll every day after seeing Chen Bo, Lao Liang and Lao He in Si Tian Cao's official room had unconcealed joy in their eyes.

They don't want to be embarrassed by being caught in the middle, so from the bottom of their hearts, they wish that Tang Cheng would be unlucky forever.

Slowly, Lao Liang, Lao He and the others gradually returned to their previous appearance, talking and laughing loudly after business, "inserting" the subject, and Tang Cheng turned into air in their eyes again.

On the contrary, Xiao Miao and Feng Haizhou, who have always been calm in the same office, bury themselves in work every day, go up and down on time, and are much more cautious than before in words and deeds.

Carefully observing the changes in the office, Tang Cheng did not say a word, and continued his seemingly unchanged "air" life.

As he estimated that day, after completely tearing apart the contradiction between the two and presenting it to everyone, at least in the past few days, Ma Beijia ignored him at all.

The days in the yamen were the most stylized, and time was spent in this dull and dreary stylization, until seven days later, the entire state government was again "commotion", and the reason for the "commotion" was that the envoy who had been inspecting the county for a long time was about to return to the yamen.
