Chapter 12: Gifts
"I've seen two sergeants!" Zhang Yi stepped forward alone, he held two quite fat big yellow croakers in his hands and handed them to the two with a smile and said, "I went out to do something today, so I came back a little late, please be accommodating!" ”
Immediately, Zhang Erkongzi showed a little smile on his face, and naturally took the fish and ignored Zhang Yi and the four Baiyue people behind him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's really not a big deal to take some benefits with confidence, and there is no tribe in Haifeng that dares to do something!
"Let's go in, don't rush to the night road so late in the future, if you run into a jackal, tiger or leopard, you can't take your life!" Wang Laosan said and looked at the four Baiyue people behind Zhang Yi who were carrying the fish on his back, and snorted heavily before standing back under the wall.
"Thank you both!" Zhang Yi arched his hand and took the lead.
It wasn't until Zhang Yi and his party went away that Wang Laosan looked at Zhang Erkongzi with some confusion and asked, "I said Zhang Erkongzi, why are you so good at talking today when you have been plucked by geese on weekdays?" ”
As the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water, there are also errands on them, and they are the city gate guards who eat the money at the city gate.
Looking at Wang Laosan's puzzled gaze, Zhang Erkongzi's face became complacent, and he found the fish in his hand, wrapped it in a big leaf, and put it on the wall behind his buttocks before asking: "You said that in addition to you and me, how many Han people have you seen in Haifeng City?" ”
"Han Chinese? Naturally, it's the gang of officials and businessmen in the yamen, why do you ask this? "Wang Laosan is a little confused.
However, he admires Zhang Erkongzi, although he is the same as the city gate guard, but there are people above the family, and the money and food in the county government are his uncle, the most important thing is that this person is clever, otherwise he will not fall on him if he goes to Panyu?
"That's right, in addition to these people, there is another kind of person who is a wanderer!" Zhang Erkong looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said: "This little minister is a wanderer, I heard that he is still the son of a certain big man in the capital, and I don't know what happened to be sent to us." But this kind of person, we'd better not provoke it, maybe that day the peak turns around, but it's a flying character, now selling a good one, although it can't set any friendship, but it won't offend people, you just saw that people can be followed by four or five barbarians, which one of these people is not unruly? Can make them honestly carry things on their backs, hehe......."
Zhang Yi naturally didn't know that the two city gate guards were talking about him, and he was now seeing the old bell standing at the door of the house like a clay statue looking ahead.
"Young master, you're back!" Lao Zhong spotted Zhang Yi as soon as possible, and rushed up to him with a cane.
"I said that today I went out to run errands, and I didn't come back so early, you still came out to wait, the wind in Haifeng is strong, if you freeze out at this age, it won't be good!" Zhang Yi put a smile on his face again, helped Lao Zhong into the courtyard, and motioned to a few 'sisters' to put the fish in the courtyard and prepare to see what else to eat in the kitchen.
He hadn't eaten anything except for a little dried fish sent by Yu Sue at noon, and he was already hungry after walking so far all night, and now there were four 'sisters' who sent him back to the city and helped carry things out of courtesy.
But these 'sisters' don't seem to like to spend the night in the city, because of the language barrier, they are just scholars Yu Sue, arched their hands at Zhang Yi, and disappeared into the night.
For these 'sisters', Zhang Yi is not easy to keep, as the old saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want, people don't like the environment in the city, and he can't keep it, the bowl of millet porridge left by the old bell in the pot is just enough for him to enjoy alone, and it saves the trouble of reopening the stove.
has become a streamer, and eating is no longer as particular as before, Zhang Yi began to drink gruel beautifully with a big bowl, which is also one of his few hobbies.
Because only then did he feel that he was alive now, and not a dream!
Lao Zhong had already cracked his mouth and laughed, more than 200 catties of fish could be exchanged for enough food for the family to eat until the New Year, and the most important thing was to go to the county government tomorrow to meet the county order.
"Young master, tomorrow when you go to the county government to draw a mao, are you going to visit Liu County? We've been in Haifeng for a few days, and if we don't go, we can't say it," Seeing that his young master finished eating millet porridge, Lao Zhong's face was full of smiles.
Being able to eat so much means that the young master's body bones are fine, and it would be better if he could eat a little meat when he has a long body.
Speaking of the county commander's surname Liu, as for the name, Zhang Yi is not clear, although in the eyes of many people, he is the emperor of Haifeng City, but in fact, for an official, being assigned to Lingnan as an official is not a kind of exile?
Far away from the Central Plains, far away from the political center of the Tang Dynasty, his situation here is not much better than Zhang Yi!
"Well, it's time to visit this Lord Liu, we are here thanks to his care, at least we are given a small courtyard so that we don't have to sleep outside!" Although he only glanced at it in the yamen last time, Zhang Yi had a very good impression of the Liu County Commander who was over forty years old.
Being able to send charcoal in the snow when you are lonely is naturally extremely rare, and it is even more precious if you don't want to reciprocate.
There should be an element of sympathy, and he could even think that the reason why Liu Xianling took more care of him was probably because of sympathy in addition to his deceased father.
Therefore, Zhang Yi is essentially a type of person for Liu County, the difference is that one is an official and the other is a criminal, after all, it is not difficult for Emperor Tiangao to take care of it a little while he is far away from the scope of power.
There is still a lot of work, and the old and young begin to pick up the catch in the bright moonlight.
There are a lot of fish, Lao Zhong sorted the fish, and then picked out the two fattest ones from them and put them aside, he planned to carry these two fish to the gift tomorrow.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, pointed to the other basket and said, "Uncle Zhong, don't be so troublesome, this is dried fish, you can help me find a cloth bag and wrap it when I go out tomorrow morning!" ”
In fact, it doesn't matter whether the gift is valuable or not, the important thing is the heart, of course, if you can express the heart and be very valuable, it will be perfect. As the leader of a county, Liu County Ling naturally will not lack two fish, so Zhang Yi decided to give him something special.
