Chapter 150: Chen Zhixian leaves office
I went home with a stack of notes, manuscripts, and books, and Lotte walked all the way, chanting words all the way in my mouth, even if someone called Lotte, it was as if I had never heard of it.
Lingzi opened the door and stepped forward, he didn't see his master for a long time, but he saw his master standing at the door with a wooden expression, Lingzi's smile immediately stiffened, and he hurriedly took the book in Lotte's hand.
"Lingzi, is the master back?" In the courtyard, Mei Hong shouted.
Seeing that Lotte's face was expressionless, Lingzi called: "Come on, you all come to see the master...... He ...... him, sir."
Hearing Lingzi's shout, Mei Hong and the two concubines in the house ran out in unison.
"Master, he's stunned......" Seeing Lotte's demented and dejected appearance, Ryoko almost cried.
Hearing Lingzi speak like this, Aunt Qin reprimanded: "Lingzi don't have no rules......
Listening to the word "rules" of his Aunt Qin, Lotte suddenly came to his senses, and read aloud in his mouth: "The rules are not followed, but they are only clever and ingenious." The husband is also a rule, and the rules are not to be followed. Can't help but take it without it, and deeply rely on this clarity and coincidence? Taste the ancient gentleman, the circumference is regular, the rotation is decent, this does not have to have this rule. If you don't have to have it, the rules are in the void; And those who cannot do without, the form of rules is real. However, the person who judges the surface of the curve, and the day is long, and the person who gives up and gives up is also ......"
"Sir, what's wrong?" Seeing Lotte's appearance, Concubine Qu lost her voice and was in pain, "When the old man went to the county government a month ago, he was fine, why did he become like this after a month......"
After memorizing an article, Le Cai entered the courtyard and walked towards the house.
"The master is stunned to read the book!" Looking at Lotte's back, Mei Hong also said.
Aunt Qin also read poetry books in the boudoir, and listened to Lotte recite an article and said: "I haven't seen you in January, and my master's knowledge has grown greatly." ”
Concubine Qu said anxiously on the side: "Sister, the master has become like this, do you want to find a Langzhong to take a look?" ”
"Maybe it's because the master is tired of reading, or maybe he thinks of the wonders, and he is immersed in it and can't help himself, let's take a look for the time being!" Aunt Qin said.
In the half day when he went home, Lotte either flipped through the books and read them, or read the words in his mouth, without the slightest intention of talking to his own two-room concubine.
Aunt Qin and Concubine Qu took Lingzi and Mei Hong, two maidservants, looking at Lotte as if they were enchanted, and they all sighed helplessly.
"It's late at night, don't delay your body when you study, rest early." Mei Hong brought water to wash her feet, took off her shoes and socks for Lotte, and put her feet in a wooden basin.
"Hmm!" Lotte just nodded in response, still flipping through the book in his hand.
What is the responsibility of the girl in the room, that is, to warm the bed before and after being served. Now that Lotte was stunned, Aunt Qin and Concubine Qu were not good at sharing a room with Lotte, Mei Hong, who was a girl in the room, consciously undressed herself, got into the quilt to cover the old man with a quilt, and got up to remove the clothes on Lotte's body and helped her into the couch.
Entering the quilt, a body aroma rushed to the nostrils, making Lotte inhale his nostrils and call softly: "It's so fragrant!" ”
Whether Lotte is now awake and turned around, or whether the body fragrance has activated someone's original state, no one knows.
Mei Hong on the side immediately blushed, bowed her head and said, "Master rest early, ...... servant"
"Come here!" Before Mei Hong finished speaking, Lotte reached out and grabbed Mei Hong and dragged her to her couch.
"Master......" Mei Hong struggled.
"You've done it all, you're so shy!" Lotte couldn't help but say that Mei Hongfen increased the intensity of pulling.
Mei Hong is still a weak woman no matter how spicy she is on weekdays, how can she be able to compete with Lotte's brute force, she was dragged onto the couch before she struggled a few times, and was about to say something, but her mouth was covered again.
Maybe it's the taste of knowing the marrow, or maybe it's the shyness, Mei Hong just struggled twice, and then let Lotte do it.
For a full month, Lotte is not close to women, and after a storm, after a short rest, there is a brace.
Hearing the movement in the house, Aunt Qin and Concubine Qu both came to watch, and saw that Lotte was not ashamed on the couch, and the two of them couldn't help but blush and heartbeat.
Taking Concubine Qu back to the room, Aunt Qin said: "The master is fine, he just studied too hard before." ”
"It's okay, the master is the pillar of the family, and we are all weak women!" Concubine Qu sighed.
The wind was calm, Mei Hong asked curiously: "What did the master do in the county government this month, how did he become stupid and stupid when he got home, like a demon?" ”
"Sir, I stayed in the county government for a month?" Lotte was surprised.
Mei Hong was also surprised: "Don't you know?" After a pause, Mei Hong said again: "Today, the maid went to the street to buy things, and I heard that Chen County Ya rushed to the capital to take up his post the day after tomorrow. ”
"Chen Zhixian will leave the day after tomorrow?" Lotte asked again.
"Master......" Mei Hong wanted to say something, but she just sighed. I want to say it, but my master's answer is still three words, I don't know.
In fact, when Lotte moved from the residence of the county official to the county mansion, the Pingyu county government had already begun to enter the state of handover. At that time, the yamen had already received the red edict from the new magistrate to take office, and began to get busy, and the officials began to discuss matters such as the date of receiving the seal and the instrument note; Cleaning the flower hall and repairing the pasting are the business of the workshop.
The ceremonial room was busy with the student office mobilizing county school students to rehearse the "group exercise" to welcome the new officials to take office, this so-called group exercise, which is just a formation of shouting slogans; The barracks were busy arranging security and security work, and other departments, such as household rooms, warehouses, grain rooms, and torture rooms, were busy sorting out case files and fabricating account books
Over there, the new county Taixue entered the territory of Pingyu leisurely, welcoming and receiving in three miles and five miles, and the majesty shook until the gate of the county government before starting the big show.
The main form of the big drama is to receive the seal, and the officials, scribes, errand servants, and deacons of the county all stand in their own positions according to their ranks and shifts. As a dismissed official, Chen Yushi naturally couldn't meet with the new magistrate, so he symbolically made a gesture of handing over the seal and sent someone to send the seal to the new official's foothold.
Here, when the new magistrate took over the seal, he put on a big show to take office.
It's just that when the new and old magistrates were handed over, Lotte was immersed in reading and reciting articles in the county mansion, and in the end he almost went crazy and delayed the lively things.
Suddenly, Lotte had a feeling that this Xinzhi County took office, and the Chen Imperial Envoy did not intend to let himself not see this scene, but he couldn't find a reason for Chen Zhixian to do this, so he couldn't figure it out, so he put on the quilt and went to sleep, after all, he still had something to do tomorrow.
On the second day, Lotte got up early and wrote dozens of posts by himself, and then called Shakuchi, Zhang Biao, and Tu Si, and scattered the written instructions to Zhang Biao one by one, and left Shakuchi and Tu Si by his side, so he arranged like this.
In the evening, the second floor of the Qinjia restaurant is brightly lit, Lotte sits on the main seat, and all the prestige of the merchant gentry in this county are personally present, that is, there is something to do, and they also order their own people who can talk to be present.
Although Lotte resigned as a military attache of the seventh rank on the surface, there is still a title of a student member of the tribute there, and after the invitation, who dares not to give Lotte some face in Pingyu.
Lotte's purpose in summoning these people is very simple, Chen Yushi is leaving office (the title of Chen Zhixian has become history), what to do The big guy looks at it.
Although Chen Zhixian has only been in office for a short year, after all, he is younger, and his face is also thinner, and he can be regarded as an extremely honest official among the previous governors, and he has done all the good things, paving roads, building bridges, and repairing embankments. Although the reconstruction of Pingyu Castle was forced by the fire, Lotte stole the urban planning theory of later generations, but made the reconstruction of Pingyu Castle the most eye-catching political achievement project, coupled with the promotion of a model play rehearsed by Lotte with a female play, together with a group of officials from the road government.
Lotte began to think about saying goodbye to Chen Zhixian. Immediately recalled the memory of his previous life, remembered that in the Tang Dynasty, there was an official named Cui Rong in Huazhou when he was a thorn in Huazhou, it is said that he did a lot of good things, when he left office, the people were reluctant to let him go, stopped on the road, may have used too much force, and actually pulled off his official boots.
Later, this "taking off official boots" later became a ritual. When the officials leave their posts and leave, if the gentry block the road, the official stretches out his stinky feet and takes the initiative to let the gentry take off their official boots. The local gentry who got the boots made a "boot box" to put the boots up, and used paint to paint the "boot box" and nailed it to the city gate, so that people could admire and visit.
This app is indispensable.
In the early morning of the next day, a sedan chair waited in front of the county mansion, and after a short time, the door of the county mansion opened, and Chen Zhixian, who was about to become the imperial envoy, was dressed in civilian clothes and went out under the service of the people around him.
"Master Chen, how can you be willing to leave me......
In the next moment, a crowd of people gathered, and some of them were crying and wailing.
More than a dozen local merchant gentry stepped forward, each holding an umbrella for the people.
Back in the Han Dynasty, when an honest official left office, the local people would write a flowery article to praise it, and the article was often engraved on the stone and stood in a conspicuous place. Later, when a corrupt official left office, he also set up a meritorious monument for himself on behalf of the locals, and if he did not erect it, he would not leave, so in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court ordered that no more meritorious monuments should be erected.
With the ban of the imperial court, in order to express the people's love for the Qing officials, this "Wanmin Umbrella" came into being, and it soon became popular.
Seeing the gentleman eunuch sending the umbrella of the people, Chen Zhixian hurriedly said: "You fellow villagers and elders show love, Chen is really deserved!" ”
Chen Zhixian's voice fell, only to hear someone shouting: "The eldest lord is diligent in government and loves the people, and it is not an exaggeration to wash away the villain's unjust case, even if it is a meritorious political monument!" ”
Everyone turned their eyes over and saw that the person who spoke was Zhang Biao. I saw Zhang Biao come to Chen Zhixian in pain and weeping, almost in pain.
Chen Zhixian rehabilitated Zhaoxue Zhang Biao's unjust case, and the people of Pingyu all knew about it, and praised Chen Zhixian's merits.
"The eldest master spared his own life to rescue us from the fire, just like our reborn parents!"
"Why would the eldest lord abandon me and wait, the little life was given by the eldest lord."
"If it weren't for the boss who rescued my son in the sea of fire, my house would have almost cut off the incense ......"
"Kid, give the old man a mouthful!"
Just as Zhang Biao spoke, a few more crying voices came, and I saw a few more figures in the crowd running forward and crying bitterly. I saw that there were old and young women and children coming together, and the two people walking in the middle were Lotte's helpers Qi Qi and Tu Si.
Chen Zhixian and Yan Zhushu rescued people in the sea of fire, and most of the people in this county knew about it, and where did they know that it was planned by Lotte.
The people of Pingyu spontaneously stood on both sides of the street to send this Chen Zhixian off office.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Nine, ten, eleven, and the people took it off, and they were gone.
Chen Zhixian was taken off more than a dozen official boots by the people of Pingyu before he could walk to the west gate of the county seat.
