The old man really didn't expect that the two families of Zhang Wang did not occupy the 6,000 acres of land, but only occupied the 4,000 acres of Feng, someone had already said before coming, many people are staring at this side of the matter, and they will not come over as usual, these days are not feeling well, just come to see, I heard that the scenery here is good, there are so many people in the ministry, and it is the busiest time.

"Uncle, you won't be the new county magistrate, will you? The little one advises you to take office quickly, don't find fault here, the Zhuangzi here has been doing things according to the rules of the imperial court, your county government has been repaired, especially the county order and the place where the family lives, the window paper paste is the best, the tables and chairs are also the new ones here, and the kang is also in the partial room, and the firewood is prepared for you. ”

The subordinate took it for granted that the old man was a new county magistrate, a little older, and looked good, so he kindly persuaded him, and at the same time glanced at a farmer next to him, who was also clever and turned away.

The old man thought it was interesting, answered a few times, and asked, "What else is arranged?" ”

"Arrangement? No, there is no arrangement, it is all done by the people, saying that the new county order loves the people like a son, which helped Zhang Luo. "I don't want to say too much.

"No fresh cucumbers? It would be nice to plant some cucumbers in the backyard. The old man said meaningfully.

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, "This ...... Adults take the stability of the world as their own responsibility, and maybe they can be auspicious. ”

"Then what should I do if I come here to take office as a county magistrate?" The old man asked again.

"Naturally, it is to repair water conservancy, protect the people, pave official roads, develop agricultural affairs, raise schools, and speak widely and ask diligently, especially to listen to what the people want, it is not easy to be a good official, it is not easy to say, it is easy to say, such as money, you can ...... You can think of more ways to do it. ”

The next person said smoothly, almost said that he missed his mouth, and took a step back.

The old man looked at this subordinate and said, "Who did you listen to this?" ”

"Of course it's a small ...... The little ones think about themselves, adults, you go to work quickly, work hard, within two years, you will be able to save enough achievements to be promoted, and if you have trouble, you will come to find ...... Find us, the people. ”

After the subordinate thought that the old man was a new county magistrate, he was a little excited, and his speech was not as sharp as just now.

Just when he didn't know what to do next, the Zhuang Hu who had just left ran over with Steward Zhang, seeing that the direction was Shuiyunjian, no wonder he came so quickly.

"Steward Zhang, you're here, just now this old man asked about the six thousand acres of mountainous land." The subordinate finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Steward Zhang should be more calm, after all, he was often hit by the little boy and the little lady, and he was almost to the point of not being alarmed, and waved his hand to the next person, "I know, take someone to busy, don't delay the affairs of the master's family." ”

As the Zhuang households of Zhang Wang's two families left, Ge Yingxi also gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper also gave an order to the Zhuang of the Ge family, and the surrounding Zhuang households dispersed, and when the Zhuang family dispersed, more than 20 people came, and there were also knives hanging on their waists, which felt slightly worse than the few people around the old man, but there were many people, and there were more than just guards around the old man.

Steward Zhang glanced at the people beside the old man, and said to the old man: "This old man, I don't know what to do here?" If it's a small talk, it's better to get into the water and clouds. ”

"Well, go to Shuiyunjian and lead the way, Zhang Yongcheng and Wang Qiao'er haven't arrived?" The old man changed his way of treating the Zhang family's subordinates, motioned to Steward Zhang to lead the way with a calm face, and asked about the head and wife of the Zhang family.

Steward Zhang didn't say a word, he really led the way in front and walked out dozens of steps away, so he slowed down a little, "Uncle is from Beijing?" The lord was studying at home, and the lady was busy planning trivial matters. ”

"Revising? Hum! When is the imperial examination so easy to test? Do you know the rules? The old man asked disdainfully.

Steward Zhang was not angry, he still looked peaceful, "This doesn't have to worry about the old man, Zhang's Zhuangzi naturally has his own plans, come here, go to Shuiyun first, and let him put out the signature dishes." ”

The old man looked at it, it was indeed getting late in the afternoon, and he didn't shirk it, and continued to walk forward, but the other party's butler didn't seem to hear it.

Waiting for the group to come to the door of the water cloud room to enter, there was a slight sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the old man's guard reacted quickly, immediately alerted, and after more than a dozen breaths, he saw two horses and one person coming over there, and the situation was a change of car galloping.

As the distance got closer, it could be seen that the person who came was dressed in tight clothes, and the rope that tied his hair had long since disappeared, his long hair was flying, and he was holding a horsewhip, and he was still whipping.

When he was a few feet away, the man pulled the reins hard, sat down and got up straight, and called out slightly, and the man on the horse pressed the horse's head, and his legs were forked, and he flew directly from the horse's head that stood up.

When he landed, he stumbled under his feet, took out a letter from his arms, forced the ups and downs of his chest, and shouted loudly, "On the order of the little waiting master, I will send a flying letter for the little son of the Zhang family." ”

"Someone, call a doctor, prepare warm tea, and get on a stretcher." As soon as Steward Zhang heard the words of the visitor, he didn't dare to slack off, and told the things that the little boy and the little lady usually ordered, took a few steps forward, and helped the person to come first, and was not in a hurry to answer the letter.

The person who came was indeed tired, if it weren't for Li Xun's close guard, if he was an ordinary person, he would be tired to death on the road, but when he came, he was three horses, and he was tired on the way, and he gasped hard, and shouted that throat, he felt salty in his mouth, and endured and said: "Letter." ”

Steward Zhang took the letter and said, "The strong man has worked hard, wait a while, there is warm water prepared over there for the strong man to brew, and there is warm tea." ”

As he spoke, someone in the restaurant had already taken out the stretcher, and the doctor, who was stationed in the restaurant and was worried that the guests would make a mistake, also rushed over and put the visitor on the stretcher, and the doctor bent over and put his hand on the wrist of the visitor.

Before entering the door, he tilted his head slightly and said to Steward Zhang: "It's just out of strength, it's okay." ”

"Okay, the doctor has bothered a lot, and ordered someone to prepare white fungus bird's nest soup for the strong man to get up and eat." Steward Zhang was relieved that the little boy and the little lady valued this kind of person the most, how could he dare to slack off?

All this was seen by the old man and the people around him, surprised by the reaction speed of Zhang's Zhuangzi, and even more surprised by the way Steward Zhang treated, if the emperor is unwell, he will not have this speed to go to the Tai Hospital to find Dr. Yi, and the doctor can come out of the restaurant? The person who reported the news can eat white fungus bird's nest soup, is the Zhang family stupid?

Steward Zhang glanced at the envelope, hesitated, and said to the old man, "Uncle, please inside." ”

"Why don't you read the letter first? Letter from the little boy, is the little boy Zhang Xiaobao on your Zhuangzi? The old man glanced at Steward Zhang's calmness.

"Don't worry, the fast delivery of the message is the speed of the soldiers, and the letter is not bad for this moment." Steward Zhang said lightly, and as if inadvertently, he handed the letter to a person from the seedling protection team who had just arrived next to him.

The man stretched out his hand to answer the letter, and someone next to him lit a thing in his arms with a fire sickle, and only to hear the 'tom boom' sound twice in a row, and a great flame appeared in the sky.

The old man looked at it suspiciously, didn't say anything, followed Steward Zhang upstairs, just entered a room on the second floor, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and looked down from the half-opened window, and saw that the horse was sitting on a person and came to the bottom of the restaurant.

"Letter from the little boy, four-star express, send it to the old lady quickly." The people of the seedling protection team had already run over, and they didn't need to get off the horse, handed over the letter, shouted, and got out of the way.

The person who came directly dialed the horse and returned to the main courtyard of Zhangjia Zhuangzi.

The old man saw all this, and smiled, "Not in a hurry? How fast is a 4-star express? How many stars are the fastest? ”

"Five stars." Steward Zhang was a little embarrassed and whispered two words.

"Five stars is an urgent report of 800 miles, right? Four-star look at the situation of changing horses and riding, at least six hundred miles, it seems that your little son is fine, otherwise it would not be a four-star, it is indeed not in a hurry, people are fine, with the family business of Zhang Wang's two families, he is not afraid of anything. ”

The old man also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and muttered something in a low voice there, but several people around him heard it.

As the guy brought the dishes one by one, Steward Zhang didn't need the guy to come to the dishes, he personally introduced to the old man, and he saw and heard the old man's demeanor and words, and felt that it should not be the person who wanted to calculate the Zhang family.

The old man did not continue to ask about the Zhang family, and talked to the housekeeper about some of the things that were repaired here, so that he could talk about his opinions, and the dishes on the table were not too much, but he tasted a few bites of everything.

After eating the cold dishes, he just nodded, "It's okay, it's a little worse than some big restaurants in Beijing." ”

When eating hot dishes, he said with satisfaction: "I heard that you have a special seasoning here, you should put some in the dish, and what other dishes are served together." ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, the man brought a plate and sent it over, and when he put it on the table, the old man was finally moved, and the things on the plate could usually be seen at random, but at this time, it could only go to the south, a few straight, thorny cucumbers, and two green round eggplants.

It doesn't look like it's been washed at all, so I guess I took it off and sent it here.

"Where's the sauce?" The old man did like these two dishes, even if the eggplant was not very comfortable to eat raw.

"Uncle wants to eat sauce? The taste of the sauce has changed, come on, send three kinds of sauce. Steward Zhang said, gave a demonstration to the old man, directly picked up a cucumber, rubbed the thorns on it with his hands, put it in his mouth and bit it, and chewed it crunching.

The old man understood this time, indeed, being able to eat cucumbers like this in this season will not make people feel embarrassed at all, others can only envy when they see it, he also picked up one, and was just about to rub and eat, the head of the guard next to him came over and said:

"Adult, the small one also wants to taste it, watching the adult and Steward Zhang eat, the small one is already hungry."

"Well, then take one yourself, you don't have to grab it in my hand, Zhangjia Zhuangzi's ability disdains to use that kind of means." The old man paused for two breaths, and finally made up his mind to speak.

"Your Excellency......."

"Crunch" "It's delicious, I'll eat it when it's cold, and then it's not between the water and clouds, but the snow and clouds, can Steward Zhang agree?" ”

The old man didn't wait for the guards to stop him, he took a bite directly, and said to Steward Zhang with a smile.

Steward Zhang shook his head and replied: "No matter when the old man comes, this place is between water and clouds, even if there is a drought elsewhere, there will be no shortage of water here, the mountain is in the middle of the water on the side, and when it is cold in winter, it will make people burn charred snow and ice here." ”

"Oh? Is the price of food also high? The old man asked.

"It's the same, unless you eat greens, little ...... The small ones say that the signboard is more important. The housekeeper almost said the three words of the little boy.

At this moment, the guy hurriedly walked in from outside, still holding a scroll in his hand, and without waiting for the housekeeper to ask, he said first: "Steward Zhang, the poem written by the master, from today onwards, between the water and the clouds and Xiaoluoshui, every one of our restaurants and pavilions on the mountain must be hung."

When he came, Mrs. said that he asked Steward Zhang to contact the shop in the capital, which is not ours, and he should hang up the master's poems when he spends money, and before the New Year, find people in Beijing and send a post. ”

"Got it, hang, is there anyone you know in the old Bojing? Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi will definitely not snub the old man. "Steward Zhang understood as soon as he heard it, the little boy and the little lady are doing it, and there is an old man in front of him who looks okay, so don't you use it, wouldn't you give a table of dishes for nothing?

The old man's eyes, which had not been completely wide, had finally lifted his upper eyelids to the highest place, and said in surprise: "I see, so Li Xun is also busy?" If you have the ability, don't tell the old man, this matter has been arranged since the drought locust, give the money to the old man, and the old man will help you find someone who doesn't want to help and has to help. ”
