Chapter Twenty-Eight: Who Doesn't Want to Wear Good Clothes
"Uncle Liu, you have also seen the world, why did the new county magistrate make you so panicked?" , Tang Que didn't notice the change in Liu Lizheng's face after his words, although Liu Lizheng is a scene person, but limited by the limitations of the times, his vision and knowledge are naturally limited, and in his eyes, a county order is a heaven-like existence. On the contrary, Tang Que came through the time, and the media consultation was developed in the later generations, not to mention the county magistrate, the mayor, and even the president of the country can see the shadow every day, and the new county magistrate is coming to inspect in front of him, although he has paid enough attention to the factors of wanting to change his own situation, but he is far from the sincere fear and awe that the county magistrate himself should have. As far as the mentality of the superior is concerned, this is really a solid hard advantage for every traverser.
"The new county order is coming, let's receive it well, Uncle Liu, you are naturally going to go, in addition to that, it is the old master Yan, his old man is a representative of the local culture and education and the elderly in the township, as for me, I am just running an errand", Tang Que casually used iron chopsticks to gently knock the tree pimples in the fire pond, "Uncle Liu, how did you receive the county order in the past?" And what effect you want to achieve, you have to talk about it first."
Liu Lizheng dragged the small pestle under his buttocks back a little, "In fact, there are old routines like this, the loess mat road, the village greets, and the other is the preparation of food, in general, these are the three major pieces", although Liu Lizheng was a little tired of the casual tone in Tang Que's words, but Tang Que's indifference made his frizzy heart quickly settle down, "Uncle has no other thoughts about this takeover, just let the county order stay for a while is to burn high incense."
Tang Que easily understood Liu Lizheng's thoughts, originally, there are so many lizheng in the county, and the new county ordered the adults to go there and not to go there, stay there for a long time, and stay there for a short time, this is all in contrast. Speaking of 1,300 years of time and space, this is actually no different from welcoming the inspection of leaders in later generations.
"If you want to say that it is difficult to do anything else, Uncle Liu, your request is not difficult."
"Is that true?" , Liu Lizheng raised his volume by three points, "It's the county magistrate's own idea to leave or stay, can you still arrange for him?" You're not bluffing me."
"Uncle Liu, you are the biggest within a radius of fifty miles, who would dare to bluff you?" , Tang Que promised in his mouth, but he didn't say anything specific.
That Liu Lizheng was also a smart person, and after a while, he understood what Tang Que meant, "You kid still give me a fancy whistle, don't worry, you don't have to pay for the share of the official this time, how about it, don't say it quickly."
"Then thank you Uncle Liu", after Tang Que's goal was achieved, he stopped selling Guanzi, and laughed in a low voice: "Uncle Liu, you are an old Lizheng, and you should have been in the county government for a long time on weekdays, and the errand officers in the yamen should always be familiar with each other, right?" ”。
"Yes Wow, what's wrong?".
"Isn't this simple, while the county magistrate hasn't left yet, Uncle Liu, you will go to the county early tomorrow to find those familiar people, and ask them to help find the errand who manages the carriages and horses in the yamen, and when the county magistrate inspects us, it doesn't matter whether he rides a car or rides, if there is a small problem, will the county magistrate stay?" The axle is suffocated, and the horse's hooves fall off the palm are some common things, and it is okay for those errand officials, as long as Uncle Liu, your sincerity arrives, and the errand officials have no reason to refuse", when he said the word "sincerity", Tang Que deliberately increased his tone, presumably with Liu Lizheng's cleverness, he could naturally understand the true meaning, anyway, he spent the apportioned money, and don't pay out of his own pocket, what is he unhappy about.
Liu Lizheng didn't expect Tang to have such an idea, "This ......."
"Uncle Liu, have you ever heard this sentence, 'No matter if your official is as clear as water, it is difficult to escape the slippery officials', as long as the 'sincerity' arrives, the errand in the yamen will naturally be able to do it properly, Uncle Liu, you can go with confidence. By the way, you are going to the county seat, and by the way, you will inquire about the preferences of the new county order, so that we can have a good target when we take over the official, and as for the specifics, we will ...... together when you come back, Uncle Liu."
When Tang Que was talking, he heard a sound of kicking in the courtyard outside, and then heard a loud voice coming from outside the courtyard, "Is the sister-in-law of the Tang family here?" Lend me two scoops of the old sour soup in your pickle jar", the sound arrived, and it was Wang Changnian, the famous "mother-in-law" in the village, who pushed the door in.
The reason why Wang Changnian has such a nickname is because his mouth is too broken, and there is no door on it, no matter what he knows, the kung fu of less than two pillars of incense will be known to the whole village.
Wang Changnian walked in with a water scoop shouting, and he didn't see anyone clearly at first, but when he recognized that it was Liu Lizheng who was sitting by the fire pond of the Tang family, a loud voice suddenly stuck the shell.
Liu Lizheng is self-conscious, Su Rili is the least fond of visiting the door, who can welcome him in the village is a very dignified thing, what's wrong today? It's not a festival, and I haven't heard that the Tang family has a happy event, why did Liu Lizheng come to this dilapidated house and sit so close to the unsuccessful boy of the Tang family? Rare, really rare!
Liu ...... Liu Lizheng! Within a radius of fifty miles, for these ordinary villagers, he Liu Lizheng is a day, and he can't help Wang Changnian to be disrespectful, but Liu Lizheng, who got up, just nodded to Wang Changnian who nodded with a solemn face.
"Okay, just do as you say, I'll go into the city early tomorrow morning. After all, it is a big deal for the county commander to come down to inspect, you have a good brain, you will think about it again in the past two days, and strive to get some new tricks out", Liu Lizheng stood up and was about to leave, and stopped again after seeing the old coarse linen jacket Tang Que was wearing, "By the way, you also have to buy the next good clothes, just the three of us take over the official, what is the matter with you dressed like this?" ”。
Hearing this, Tang Que, who was holding the fire with chopsticks, raised his head, and Mimi looked at Liu Lizheng with a smile, "Who doesn't want to wear good clothes?" ”。
Tang Que's look only made Liu Lizheng angry and funny, this kid is simply the best person who can take advantage of him, and he didn't dare to give a little ladder at all, "Okay, you don't have to call it poor, this dress will come out of the money, after all, it is also for the official business of taking over the official", Liu Lizheng glanced at Wang Changnian, who was still bent over, after speaking, he smiled at Tang Xuan: "Brother Tang, I'm leaving." Ah Cheng's money for buying new shirts was sent later, and my sister-in-law bothered a lot, this is an official matter, but I don't dare to be sloppy."
It wasn't until Liu Li walked out of the courtyard that Wang Changnian's bent waist stood up straight, he didn't speak anymore, and a pair of triangular eyes turned around on Tang Que and Tang Zhang's two people, and the scene he heard and saw just now made him unacceptable for a while, and there was curiosity and surprise in his heart, and there was envy, and more anger.
Even the Tang family, a second bastard who is not at ease with farming, can actually participate in welcoming the county magistrate, and he can even mix a new dress that costs nothing, you must know that the apportionment has its own share of the money! What kind of thing is he Tang Shu, a rotten good person, who can afford him? If you want to talk about face in the village, you are much better than him, why is Liu Li about to call him brother, but he doesn't even have a smile on himself? Liu Lizheng, Liu Sanneng, you're really dizzy.
Sent away Wang Wannian, who had an uncertain face, Tang Zhang's served pickle cakes as lunch, helping this year's wheat harvest, his own land rent was also exempted, and his son earned two months of "high-salary" wages to make up for it, the Tang family finally jumped out of the vicious circle of helpless selling grain when the price was low, and being forced to buy grain when the price was high. Although the two husbands and wives often murmured that Dumiao's son didn't look like a rural person at all, and he wouldn't live a careful life, the color on their faces was indeed getting better day by day.
