Chapter 18: Restlessness Upon Returning at Noon (10th Month, 70th Month)
Chapter 18: Returning at noon, I was restless
"My lord, don't you like to eat tofu brain? Why did you switch to soy milk? "A servant remembered the change of things just now.
"This, look, you eat steamed buns, you can drink tofu brain, chew it in your mouth together, but this fruit is a little hard to chew directly, I like to drink this soy milk, now there is no such good thing, no better than at home, I want to drink milk at home, what do you think of eating this fruit?"
Zhang Zhong explained what to eat and what to use, and then said: "Actually, you should eat porridge when you eat steamed buns, I don't like tofu brain that only needs to eat porridge, generally speaking, tofu brain is eaten on cakes, I don't put sugar when I drink soy milk, and I don't put leek flowers when I drink tofu brain." ”
"Adults say that the small ones will understand, according to what the adults say, eat smoothly, if you eat the buns and then drink the soy milk, a mouthful of soy milk down, the fragrance of the buns will be gone, adults, the small ones are still the first time to eat this fruit, delicious."
The inquiring officer nodded his head in agreement, as for whether it was really the case, it didn't matter, the adults said that they ate like this, and that was how they ate.
Another official next to him said: "Of course the fruit is delicious, it is fried with noodles, who can eat it in ordinary people?" That is, follow the adults, we are blessed, adults, you can rest assured, we will listen to you in the future, we are not white-eyed wolves, adults are good to us, we will help the adults get things done, adults, what do you say you want to do? ”
"Don't talk about business, it's business when you get to the yamen, don't take advantage of it now to say something else, otherwise don't blame me for not giving you a chance, tell me, if there is anyone in the family, as long as it is a child, I can make clothes for it, and if there are old people, I will send some nourishing medicine."
If there is a person in the family who has to give birth, you must tell me, I can ensure that your child is born more smoothly, and don't hide that someone in the family is sick.
This part of the money yamen won't care, it's up to me, as for whether someone says I'm stupid, then it doesn't matter, I have money, there's no way, isn't it? ”
Zhang Zhong began to arrange family affairs for the officials according to Zhang Xiaobao's practice at that time, Zhang Xiaobao said so at the beginning, if the position of the officials is not good, you will face life and death, you arrest people, people don't resist, usually take care of more, and let the officials feel more stable.
Zhang Zhong said the truth, he didn't think so, he was used to this, but it was different when he heard the ears of the officials, these words were heartwarming, and then think about the officials of Sanshui County, no one felt that the county order was talking and playing.
There was the weak-willed one, and the circles under his eyes were already red, Zhang Zhong hurriedly said, "What are you doing?" When you arrive at the yamen in a while, you will each write a copy of what you have at home, and now you should tell me, have you heard anything surprising? I'm a person who likes to inquire, and I inquire, so I just inquired about the champion. ”
The officials were amused by these words again, and pondered there one by one, when suddenly the officials on a table next to them asked, "What happened to your lordship?" If it really doesn't work, let's rest for two days first, and everyone in the yamen will go out to the mountains to dig ginseng. ”
Zhang Zhong didn't expect the officials to remember this matter, he forgot about it himself, and said: "Fortunately, it won't take a few days for you to see him alive, and you will have to lead him to play at that time." ”
The officials said what they would do, and Zhang Zhong listened there with a smile.
"My lord, I heard about something this morning, there is a person named Zhang Qiang, after he was put back, his family is gone, and he himself cried alone all night yesterday, which makes people sad to say." A servant said suddenly at this time.
"Oh? Family gone? So what is he doing now? Zhang Zhong didn't expect such a thing, and he was also sad for the person named Zhang Qiang.
"I don't know, if you want to know, if you want to know, let's go and inquire, adult, such a person is easy to have an accident, if you can't think about it, forget it if you die, what if you affect others again?" The official reminded him.
"Oh, yes, you eat first, I forgot something, go back and get it." Zhang Zhong didn't have any good way to solve this, so he was going to go to his son to have a look.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were eating there, and when they saw their father come in and mention this kind of thing, Zhang Xiaobao frowned and thought about it.
"Dad, in fact, you can find something to do for the person named Zhang Qiang, that would be fine, let him be a postman, specializing in delivering letters to people, if he can write, it would be better, carry the four treasures of the study, if the letter is sent to which, if the person in that family wants to reply to the letter is illiterate, let him write it."
Now send it to this county, and then send it to several surrounding counties, if they find someone to do this together, then they can send it to the whole state, so that he can make a reputation, and he can also take care of the matter of finding people, as long as he encounters it, he will help contact it.
In this way, when their reputation for sending letters is great, his family may be able to find him, he feels the pain of not having a family, and he will be more serious when sending letters and looking for people in the future, Dad, what do you think? ”
Zhang Xiaobao came up with such an idea.
"Okay, Xiaobao, just do as you say, I'll go back and have someone find him right away, and I'll hand over the letter delivery matters around here to him in the future."
Zhang Zhong said happily, turned around and walked out quickly.
Zhang Xiaobao continued to bow his head and drink soy milk, Wang Juan watched from the side, and suddenly said: "Xiaobao, your mind is not so simple, right?" ”
"Don't always have other intentions, I'm actually quite simple, you think, just think of an idea in such a short time, can you think about other things?"
Zhang Xiaobao said with an aggrieved face.
"Yes, you can, tell me what follow-up is in mind? I'm not going to give you anything to pass it on. Wang Juan didn't care about Zhang Xiaobao's expression at all.
Zhang Xiaobao took another sip of soy milk, and then took another sip of soy milk, and saw that Wang Juan was still staring at him, and finally couldn't help but say: "Okay, I said, in fact, it's nothing, after they have more people, they have to inquire when they send the letter, whether they are active or passive, they can get some news that seems to be nothing."
You know the news, right? It's intelligence, do you still need me to talk about the importance of intelligence? When they develop, we will help them, and the farther they send the letter, the longer our intelligence tentacles will extend. ”
Wang Juan suddenly laughed, and pinched Zhang Xiaobao's face with his hand, "This little brain is turning, when I think of a way to settle people for your father, I am a serious messenger, and I can find his family, but behind this matter, there are still things hidden, just for a short time." ”
"Inspiration, this is called inspiration, it can also be said to be talent, the most critical thing, eat it, it's cold for a while." Zhang Xiaobao felt that this matter was not worth exaggerating, it was just an idea, and it happened to be such a situation.
Zhang Zhong returned to the restaurant again and told the officials about the matter, and the officials expressed their approval, and some of the officials even proposed to let all the people who wanted to find their families join in, so that they could find their families while doing things.
This matter was settled, a group of people had breakfast, burped, and walked towards the yamen, the people on the road saw so many people in the yamen acting together for the first time, and they all stood down to watch, and the people who had just eaten in Jinlailou began to talk about it.
A circle of people gathered around him, listening to him talk about how the officials did not cost money to eat, how the county magistrate spoke kindly to the officials, and how to help a man who had just been released from prison.
These things are all things that the people are willing to hear, especially to help a person who has just been released to find a way, so that many people in the people are moved, and they have to talk about this matter again when they see someone.
When Xiao Xiancheng and Zhan Zhubo, who had stayed up all night, came back at noon, they could hear the words of the people praising the new county order.
"Brother Yong, what happened? It's just one night, why is this what happened to the people? When Zhan Zhubo heard those words praising the new county order, he felt that his heart was not a taste, but more worried, afraid that when the two of them joined forces to drive the county order away in the future, the people would not do it, and when a Wanmin watch was sent, someone would be sent to investigate.
Where did Xiao Xiancheng go to inquire, he also didn't know, the same surprise and worry, Zhang Zhong had only been here for a few days? Counting the front and back, today should be the fourth day, what did he do in four days? And the people boasted of him?
Facing Zhan Zhubo's inquiring gaze, he said directly: "How do I know? After a while, I will go back and ask and it will be clear, the people have a lot of good things to do with officials, and those who should go down are not allowed to go down, so hurry up. ”
Under his instructions, the carriage went a little faster, but he did not dare to go too fast, and if it hit the people, the people would say anything.
After a while, the car finally came to the yamen, and the lord Bo and the county officials came down one after the other, and the officials standing there hurriedly greeted them.
"Qi Ran, is something happening in the county?" Xiao Xiancheng asked at a servant.
"If you go back to your words, nothing happened, but did you hear about something?" The official named Qi Ran said suspiciously.
"Well, it's good that nothing happened, has the county order come?" Xiao Xiancheng heard the officials say this, it was not easy to ask anything else, he couldn't ask why the people all said that the county order was okay? It was clearly jealousy.
"If you go back to your lordship, the county magistrate has already come, saying that you are waiting for the two of you to come back and go to see him, there is something important." The official replied again.
