Chapter 81: The Dark Clouds of County Anger Disperse (Third Update)
Seeing Cheng Xianling come over to greet and eat, these people who had been waiting impatiently followed without saying a word, they were still satisfied with the food prepared by Cheng Xianling in the past two days, the same dish, as long as Cheng Xianling led the place, the taste was more fragrant than what they had eaten in the past.
Zhou Xihu's uncle Zhou Qi is also among them, he is not like those who come to enjoy the blessings, when others were arranged to get into the car, he found Cheng County Order.
"Enron, you've spent a lot of money in the past two days, right? I can see that you are different from the county orders elsewhere, why don't you find more ways to make money on weekdays? ”
There is an obvious hint in these words, you are a county order, and you have not risen or fallen in a few years here, and your position is stable, why don't you make some money? The county is not without rich households.
Cheng Xianling smiled helplessly, "What the adults said is that it can be the official side, as long as you have enough food, drink and housing, how can you still trouble the people, please get in the car." ”
Send Zhou Wei to Chezhang, Cheng Xianling sighed, and he really didn't know who to talk to, there are still a few people in Sanshui County who can't move, people are Zhishi, you can try it? Some of the business was manipulated by these people, in addition to this, there is also your nephew Zhou Xihu.
Now you see that he is better, it was not like this at the beginning, he caused trouble all day long, and he couldn't be busy cooking for him in the back, where can he get money? Scrape on the people? How much danger does that have? In the first two years of the new emperor's reign, the officialdom was in chaos, and he didn't have the courage to reach out, and the new emperor was in charge, and he didn't dare to make a move in the first two years.
Wait until last year, finally a little looser, before the action, Xiangrui came out, how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, this year another Xiangrui came out, this is good, you can rest assured that you are in charge of the people, send things once during the New Year, the reputation of a good official spreads, no matter how stupid you are, you will not do the self-destruction of the Great Wall.
What's more, there are still masters staring at Zhangjia Zhuangzi, who knows what those two people think? If you really want to do something angry, what can you do if the master is angry?
When he came to his frame, when he got into the car, he glanced at the cars of the other people who were in a hurry to leave, sneered, and flashed in.
The team walked towards a place with all their bones, this time only with two officials and the county officials, and no one else from the yamen went with them, they knew that this time they were guilty, and they didn't want to eat anything delicious.
If you want to eat, it's better to go home, there are some pickles sent by Zhangjia Zhuangzi at home, and I don't know what they put in, the taste is different from other places, not so special salty, but refreshing, and with a smell of umami, just drink it with porridge, that taste, don't mention it.
As soon as Cheng County's convoy moved, it couldn't stop, and it walked for more than half an hour, and the people in the car wondered, the prosperous place of this county has already been walked, is it possible, there are still good hotels hidden in remote places?
As soon as I pondered this, those who had such ideas became excited, thinking of going to a place where there are mountains and rivers around, preferably with a few small bridges, and then getting some gazebos or something, eating delicious foods that have never been eaten elsewhere, talking about the wind and moon, and chanting two lines of poetry, this time it was not in vain.
Thinking like this, they are in a better mood, and they don't feel bored when they sit in the car.
"Uncle, it seems that something is wrong, there is no restaurant here, and even the tea stalls on the side of the road are in tatters, where does Cheng County want to take me to?"
Others don't know the situation here, Zhou Xihu knows, he followed a group of fox friends and dog friends, when he rode a horse, he almost went around the entire county, where there was something, he already knew it in his heart.
"Xiaohu, are you sure? I don't know where it will go if I go down this road? Do you have to go out of Sanshui County? When Zhou Qi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and asked his nephew softly.
Zhou Xihu waved his hand, "I want to go out of the county, go to the middle of the night, there is a village in front of this side, it is said to be a village, in fact, there are only a dozen households, there is not even a river around, and the draft can't dig a well, they all drink the water in a blister in the mountain, and they plant inferior fields, and the harvest is not guaranteed.
The nephew estimated that Cheng County Ling was crazy, and wanted to bring people over there, yes, I don't expect to eat anything, uncle, come, thanks to my nephew who is used to eating the things that Zhangjia Zhuangzi made, and brought some, eat first, otherwise I will be hungry later, and then walk for a quarter of an hour, the vehicle in front can't pass, and I need to get down and walk, Cheng County Ling had better lead a shortcut, otherwise I will climb the mountain. ”
Zhou Xihu jumped out of the car, ran to his own car, took some things, got back into it, put the things in front of his uncle, poured half a bowl of wine for his uncle, and motioned for his uncle to eat.
Zhou Qi is not hypocritical, he can already guess what he will eat when he enters the village, his body is his own, he is hungry or uncomfortable, he picks up the things that his nephew respects and eats them, and Zhou Xihu also eats them.
Sure enough, as Zhou Xihu said, just as the uncle and nephew were eating something, the team stopped, and Cheng Xianling jumped out of the car first and said to everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the vehicle ahead is no longer feasible, it is better to get down and walk, and then walk a little further, and you can reach a good place."
"Really, Cheng County Order, is there a place with mountains and rivers?" A man who had just endured the illusion of hunger asked happily.
"Exactly, just like the poems chanted by Song Gongzi, there is no way out ...... mountains and rivers."
"I'll wait for this to know, Song Jinggong Song Caizi's sentence, it has already been spread over there, and the next sentence is called Liu Dark Flower Ming Another Village, okay, good place, Cheng County Order is better to wait for me to see it."
Without waiting for Cheng County's order to speak, the man started talking, and shook his head, as if the poem was written by him.
"In this case, you adults will have to work hard." Cheng Lingxiang had a smile on his face, raised his hand and led the way, and took the lead with the county and the two officials in front.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's hard to be afraid of, I didn't expect that there would be such a good place in Sanshui County, everyone, please." The man also smiled and waved his hand, acting indifferently, and followed behind, and the others naturally followed.
At first, the road was a little better, but after another two quarters of an hour, there was no road under the feet, and only a faint trace of grass could be seen in the half-withered grass.
Zhou Xihu was guarding next to his uncle, carrying two water bladders on his body, seeing that everyone was still talking about the scenery with great interest, he whispered to his uncle: "Uncle, it's over, Cheng County's order really wants to torture people, this road goes to that village, and you may be able to see people before dark."
Just see, if you really want to think of the place, you have to walk for an hour, thanks to the fact that I brought enough water, I know that Cheng County Ling is not well-intentioned, and my nephew will get you a stick in a while, you can use it as a crutch, don't hold it hard. ”
Zhou Xihu spoke, his eyes looked around, trying to find a suitable branch, he knew that his uncle rarely walked so much, and he was easy to get tired.
Zhou Qi will not doubt his nephew, hearing this, he took a deep breath, prepared to meet the suffering, looked at the water bladder on his nephew's body, and was satisfied in his heart, his nephew is really sensible, he knows that he is distressed and distressed, and he can make some arrangements in advance.
"Xiaohu, I was in the car just now, and I haven't eaten the beef jerky that I think is too dry, did you bring it? I guess when I can see people, I'm hungry. ”
'Bang bang bang! Zhou Xihu patted him in his arms, squeezed his eyes and said, "Uncle, don't worry, you have brought it all, didn't you see your nephew go back to your car when you got off the car?" The nephew not only brought beef jerky, but also wrapped a large scallion pancake and two salted duck eggs in oiled paper.
This is all made by Zhangjia Zhuangzi, but unfortunately there is no hot water, otherwise the nephew's car still has their fried beef pith oil tea noodles, which they gave to their nephew to honor the elders, and the nephew eats now, usually goes to the small shop they opened, the price is cheap, the taste is not bad, this cake is bought in the morning. ”
Zhou Qi's eyes looked over, and sure enough, he found that his nephew was full of money, and he couldn't help but sigh, his nephew was blessed because of trouble this time, and those who can help the people who partner in business to honor their elders will not be bad people.
At this time, he was eager to get rid of these people immediately, go to the Zhuangzi to take a look, thank you, and see what help he could help by the way, and he couldn't just wait for the benefits to take advantage.
Zhou Qi and his nephew Zhou Xihu were ready, Cheng County ordered that he was also full of food and drink just now, and the two fourth-grade officials from the imperial court, Fang Cai, also sent tea and snacks, and they also cushioned some when they wanted to, so they didn't have to worry about being hungry and sticking to their backs.
As for the rest of the people, they are all talking about flowers and trees with the taste of acid reflux in their stomachs, and when the drought comes, the flowers are about to wither, the grass is wilting, and the scenery is not so charming.
Cheng Xianling still had that smile, and he sped up a little as he walked, and everyone followed unconsciously, and a group of people marched towards the legendary village.
******
Zhangjia Zhuangzi here, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who were riding a bicycle asked Steward Wang to find pomegranates to choose seeds, and the two of them went all the way to Xiaoqiao, and from a distance they could see that someone was busy building houses in the plain places downstream, and the foundation had not been done so far, and there was water and sediment below.
"Xiaobao, find an old man who can watch the sky and ask, until now, the sky is still cloudy, hot and stuffy, I don't know when it will rain." Wang Juan looked at the fiery scene and wiped his sweat.
"No, it's going to be sunny soon, you see." Zhang Xiaobao was about to ask someone according to what Wang Juan said, when he looked up at the sky, the sun was exposed over there, and as the sunlight was revealed, the dark clouds seemed to fade.
