Shooting the Yamen of Hongzhi County, Duan Zhixian, a local parent official, with officials such as county officials, county lieutenants, and chief bookkeepers, stretched their necks at the yamen and looked at them, as if they were waiting for someone. The people who passed in front of the county yamen saw the posture of their parents and officials, and they all muttered in their hearts, although they were residents of the county seat, it was extremely difficult for them to see and know the county seat. The county lieutenant next to him is already a great figure, who doesn't shy away when he comes out? Now that he appears in unison with a singing opera, are you waiting for your father-in-law? Such a big hit?

"County Weng, is it really this morning? Will it be the afternoon? Seeing that he couldn't wait for a long time, the county next to him couldn't help but ask.

Duan Zhixian still looked at the street, and said, "What I heard with my own ears can be wrong?" It must be in the morning, but why haven't you come yet? Did you send someone out? ”

"It's been sent early, from Guangxing Town to Wunan Town, there are people guarding it. As long as you see the guard of honor, you will rush back to report the news. County Weng, let's say, why are we pestle here? Let's go back to the yali and wait, can't I come out again if there is news? The county lieutenant said.

Duan Zhixian shook his head: "Since I took office in this county, this is the first time I have come down, if I am not more attentive, I am afraid of gossiping, why bother?" ”

When the subordinates heard him say this, they stopped making noise. But the weather in Sichuan is famous, from May to June, that day can roast your scalp smoke, and there is no place to cover yīn at the entrance of this yamen, everyone is just roasting, and it is already a little unbearable.

After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard the county lieutenant smile and said: "This is really enjoyable, our county government is still basking in the sun, and he sat up and down the slider in a few steps." ”

Everyone looked over, and they didn't know which big family in the county went out, but they actually sat on the cool bridge and flashed in the direction of the yamen. Duan Zhixian looked at it and didn't say anything, people have money. Even if you go out to buy food, are you willing to take the slider? But when he saw that the sliding rod had stopped in front of the county yamen. A man came down from the bridge. It's just that he is in his thirties and less than forty years old, not tall, looks a little thin, and wears a collar of green sè single clothes. He shook a paper fan in his hand and hung a pendant around his waist. The inch-long beard was neatly combed, the head was also combed with oil, and there was a sense of grandeur between the eyebrows. It's obviously not the same as the peddlers and pawns on the street.

The magistrate looked at it fixedly. hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "The chief is on patrol, the lower official has missed the distance, and I hope to forgive the sin!" "The subordinates at the back looked at it, isn't this Li Zhizhou? Why do you look like this? All of them swarmed up and saluted.

Li Mo, who knew Zizhou, was originally a soldier of Dingrong, Shaanxi. When he was young, his family was poor and he was good at reading. Later, Jinbang High School, after several promotions, is now out of Zizhou. Seeing that the people in Shehong County had come out, he frowned slightly and said, "I'm not here for official business, why should the public be like this?" ”

Duan Zhixian looked back and said with a smile: "The lower official took office, and it was the first time that Taishou came down, so it was inevitably more grand." The lower official sent people to receive him along the way, and he didn't want the chief to come in a small way, and if there was anything inconsiderate, please ......"

Li Mo shook his fan and interrupted him: "It's okay, I haven't admired the customs and customs of Shehong for a long time, so I came down on a whim to take a look, went to Yujing to burn pillar incense, and paid tribute to the reading platform." You don't have to be like this, you are busy with official business, please go back. If Duan Zhixian has time, how about walking with me? ”

Such a good opportunity to get close to the chief, how could Duan Zhixian let it go? In addition, he had a good relationship with Li Zhizhou, and the relationship was very good, so he nodded again and again: "It's an honor for the lower official, it's almost noon at this time, do you want the chief to have a meal first, cool down in the afternoon, and then go to Jinhua Mountain?" ”

Houtou County Cheng also said: "It's hot and hot, so please have a meal, eat a bowl of tea, and it's not too late to go." ”

"You're welcome." Li Zhizhou saw that they were really enthusiastic, so he didn't say anything more after saying this, and sat down on the slide bar. Seeing this, Duan Zhixian turned around and asked his subordinates to go back, it was hard enough to be exposed to the sun for so long. Seeing Li Zhizhou sitting on the slide bar again, he thought to himself that if I take the official bridge, I will hold it up in front of the chief. If you go with the sedan chair, you will lose your sven and look flattering.

When he was in trouble, Li Mo found out, got down from the slide bar again, and asked him, "How far is it to Jinhua Mountain?" ”

"That's close! From here to the north, it will take less than half a pillar of incense to arrive. Duan Zhixian replied.

Li Mo listened and said to his entourage: "Then you don't have to follow, stop the bridge and go to the bar by yourself." It's hard work all the way, and this money is right to be used for wine. After that, he took half a penny from his bag and gave it to the palanquin man.

Seeing this, Duan Zhixian praised: "Too considerate and kind-hearted. ”

Li Mo smiled faintly, and let Duan Zhixian lead the way, and the two of them went to Jinhua Mountain together. The latter was inevitably swaggering, and took the head for the official to take it back. As a result, along the way, the sun was really poisonous, and Li Zhizhou opened the paper fan to cover his head, which made Duan Zhixian sweat profusely, and kept introducing the customs to his boss. After a while, at the foot of Jinhua Mountain, it was a good thing to go! But seeing the pine and cypress on the mountain luxuriant, lush, pavilions and pavilions half-hidden between the jungle, occasionally a few bells ringing, listening to the ears, I think this is a fairy-like place.

There is a river at the foot of the mountain, the jade belt is general, a bridge is built on the river, Li Mo looked up at the plaque, Feihong Bridge, praised the sentence "good place", and then raised his feet to the bridge.

"The original name of this bridge is 100-foot bridge, because of the sentence 'crane dancing thousand-year-old tree, rainbow flying 100-foot bridge' in Chen Ziang's "Dengjinhua", so it was changed to its current name." Duan Zhixian wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and introduced. In a moment to the front of the mountain gate, I saw an archway very tall, the four characters in the book "Azure Cave Sky", there is everyone's wind, look at the money, but it is Huang Tingjian's handwriting.

Duan Zhixian was about to ask the chief to go up the mountain, and Li Mo asked: "I heard that at the foot of this Jinhua Mountain, in the Fujiang River, there is a 'heron and continent', I don't know where it is?" ”

"Taishou even knows this? The 'heron and the continent' is only going around the mountain, in the center of the Fujiang River, the size of more than a dozen acres. It was uninhabited, and the big families in the county loved its scenery, so they built another courtyard. Usually no one goes, but some time ago, a family came out of nowhere and bought a property. Oh, by the way, Taishou also specially instructed the subordinate officials to make it convenient. "Duan Zhi County Road. In fact, he also wondered, what kind of character came to my flood realm? Do you want to say hello to the state of labor? It's just that I guessed that I might have a relationship with Li Zhizhou, but it was inconvenient to ask in detail.

"Then bother you to lead ahead?" Li Modao.

"Don't you want to go up the mountain?" Duan Zhixian was stunned.

"Jinhua Mountain is here, and I can't run, so why hurry? Let's go. Li Mo smiled.

Duan Zhixian didn't want to ask too much, so he led the way and bypassed the foot of Jinhua Mountain. The Fujiang River is right in front of you. I saw that on the wide river, the water was not prosperous. The surface of the river sparkles in the sun. A fishing boat. The fisherman rocked the oars vigorously, and a few ospreys stopped at the bow of the boat, all of them shrank their heads, and the flat boat sailed by. dàng 起一一卍約.

In the center of the river, I saw an island the size of more than ten acres. It is egg-shaped, and it is a flat and smooth land. In the center, several houses were built. There is little concealment. They are all green tile low walls, which are just exquisite, not magnificent. At this time, it was time to eat, and there was smoke curling from the house, and I thought it was cooking.

Li Mo looked at it for a long time and kept nodding. There is a lot of admiration and yearning. After a while, he said, "In the past." ”

A small pier by the river. Stopped a boat, and saw the boatman, Duan Zhixian was in a hurry, looking around, and happened to meet a local man, who was carrying a few catties of meat, a few pieces of dried tofu, and the other hand carrying a can of wine, and he was in a hurry. Duan Zhixian called over and asked him to drive the boat.

But the man was puzzled: "County Weng, my family asked someone to cut wheat today, and I am waiting for the wine and meat to go back to the pot." If you send the county Weng across the river, won't it be my business? ”

Duan Zhixian seemed to recognize him, and scolded with a smile: "What a solid-hearted idiot!" How much time can you miss if you give us a ride? Besides, my parents in a county, can I let you give it away for nothing? Later, I rewarded you with money and took it back, but I am afraid that your mother-in-law will scold you? ”

When the man heard this, he was still embarrassed, and under the coaxing of Duan Zhixian, he hung the wine and meat tofu on the branch next to him and threw the boat away. Fang walked a few steps, felt that it was inappropriate, and came back to get wine and meat and put it on the boat, which was relieved. Li Mo and Duan Zhixian couldn't laugh or cry, and the latter explained to the chief: "This is a local fool, the most solid-hearted, and his brain is not very open. I have no choice but to scold him, foul language, I'm afraid I'm too respectful to listen, please forgive me. ”

Li Mo chuckled lightly and did not speak. When the group got into the boat, the fool had the strength to shake the boat forward like an arrow, as if it were walking on flat ground. After a while, they arrived at the small island in the middle of the river, the man pulled the board from the boat and set it up, Duan Zhixian helped Li Zhizhou to go down carefully, waited for it to get on the ground, and turned around and said: "Go!" Don't forget your wine and meat! ”

The man refused to leave, and seemed a little anxious: "Didn't the county man say that he would reward me with money?" ”

"Hey! You're not stupid! Duan Zhixian said with a smile. One mō waist, the face sè mutated, broken, this is in a hurry, and I didn't bring any money! Isn't this a disgrace in front of the chief?

Li Mo saw it, grabbed another dozen or twenty coins from his bag, and threw them on the boat, clanging. The man was very happy, bent down to pick it up, and Duan Zhixian said again and again: "It's really that the lower officials didn't think about it, but let the Taishou break the bank." ”

Li Mo pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you doing this? See me outside? ”

"Yes, yes, it's a small thing." Duan Zhixian said with a smile.

The two of them went straight to the house on the island, and Duan Zhixian followed closely behind. On the side of the stone road, there are a few pieces of land leveled out, planting some vegetables and vegetables, Li Zhizhou secretly said in his heart, when will Enxiang learn to nursery? When I got closer, I saw that the hall was wide open, and there was no one in sight. In the courtyard, however, there was a man with his feet hanging upside down on a wooden bar, his head down, his hands in front of Xiōng, motionless. Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head to look, put his hand down to hold the ground, and turned over neatly. When I looked closely, he was a teenager who had not yet shed his childishness.

Li Moguan described it well, and he had already guessed a few points, Duan Zhixian stepped forward at this time and said, "Little baby, where are the adults in your family?" ”

"Thou shalt not be reckless." Li Zhizhou stopped him, stepped forward and smiled, "The little official is polite." ”

The young man took a step forward, bowed politely and politely, and said, "I don't know what the two officials are doing?" ”

"I was tired of the little officials, and I only said that Li Mo came to visit the old man." Li Zhizhou arched his hand.

The young man looked him up and down a few times, turned sideways, and said respectfully: "Since you are an old man, please sit in the hall quickly, and the younger generation will go and invite the adult." After finishing speaking, Li Duan and the two were invited to the hall, and the Sichuan people called it "the hall house" to sit down, and then made a gesture and went away.

Duan Zhixian was suspicious, seeing that this young man was not like a mortal, and his words and deeds had his own demeanor, but he didn't know who the master here was? Why did even Li Zhizhou come to worship? It is strange not to say which local official Zhishi retired and returned to his hometown to retire and retire for the elderly.

Li Mo looked at the hall and saw that although the ground was clay, it was very smooth, and although the furnishings in the hall were simple, they were spotlessly clean. On the north wall there is a shrine with a tablet on it. But it is the most common local "heaven and earth monarch teacher". When I was looking at it, I was ringing. Only teenage years. Very well-behaved, brought two cups of tea to serve, and knew etiquette. Duan Zhixian became more and more suspicious.

I had the heart to ask, but I was afraid that the chief would blame Tang Abrupt. can only hold back and wait for the main master to appear. Outcome. After eating a cup of tea, no one came, and Duan Zhixian was a little angry. It doesn't matter where it came from. I am a local parent official, and Li Zhizhou is the boss, I came to see you in person, what is the reason why you are still procrastinating like this?

Just when he was displeased, he heard the sound of loud footsteps. Li Zhizhou suddenly got up, and he looked at it. He also stood up and looked out. In the blink of an eye, a man appeared in front of him. Dressed in short brown, with sleeves and kùtuǐ and a straw hat on his head, he is completely dressed as a fisherman. Holding a bamboo basket in his right hand, the locals call it "Yu Ba Bag", in which a few live fish and jumped, because the straw hat blocked, I couldn't see the description, only heard the other party said in a foreign accent: "Sit down for a while, wait for me to change my clothes." ”

Li Zhizhou waved his hand: "Yes, Enxiang." ”

Duan Zhixian was shocked at this time, Enxiang? Too much to call for grace? In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, who can be called Enxiang? Either the chief is really kind to his subordinates and calls him a favor, or he wants to try his best to curry favor with the chief and call him a favor. Duan Zhixian read too many meanings from these two words.

First of all, the origin of this fisherman's costume is definitely not small, and he must be a retired member of the imperial court, living in seclusion here. Secondly, Li Zhizhou called the other party "Enxiang", I am afraid that there is no intention to please him, a retired person, what else is worth stammering? Ten have**, this person is indeed kind to Li Zhizhou.

However, since he lived in seclusion here, he should be an official of his ancestral home. But the problem is that all the local officials in Shehong, no matter how big or small, know that there is no such person in their impressions?

Thinking about it left and right, he didn't know the essentials, Duan Zhixian was afraid that he would be presumptuous and abrupt later, so he had no choice but to ask: "Taishou, I don't know if this senior is ......?"

Li Mo sat down and said with a smile: "Senior? Speaking of which, this prime minister is not a senior. I didn't say it to you before, but he didn't want to make a noise, so he had to deal with it in a low-key manner. But since I have brought you, I am compelled to tell you. Grace is ......"

Before he could say anything, he saw that the man had already changed his clothes. When Duan Zhixian saw it, his heart was beating in horror. Because the other party came out in a purple sè single dress! This is not enough to see the identity of the other party, he has a dazzling gold belt tied around his waist! Looking at this outfit, the other party is obviously a high-ranking official above the third grade! The Xichuan origami fan with a jade pendant in his hand also came to the hall and arched his hand: "I, a fisherman in the mountains, how dare I ask you to come to see Zhizhou in person?" ”

Li Mo suddenly looked a little frightened, and bowed his head and said: "If En Xiangruo said this, he made the subordinate officials embarrassed. ”

"Haha!" The man laughed heartily, stepped forward and gently tapped Li Mo's arm with a paper fan, "You are still so serious, I'm just joking with you." I don't know what this official is called? ”

Li Mo hurriedly introduced: "I hope to ask for forgiveness, just because he is my old friend, and he is a local parent official. ”

The man listened, looked at Duan Zhixian a few times, and arched his hand again: "It turned out to be Duan Zhixian." The county weng came to the cold house, there was no respect, but today I caught two fresh fish from the river, and I have ordered the kitchen to make it, and I will invite Li Zhizhou and Duan Zhixian to have a drink of two cups, and I Xu Wei will do the friendship of the landlord. ”

When the magistrate heard the word "Xu Wei", his head was "buzzing", and he was stunned. How? Troubled for a long time? We shot this small temple and actually offered such a big Buddha! This is our highest governor in Sichuan and Shaanxi! In Sichuan and Shaanxi, no matter the government or the people, who doesn't know his name? Oh, my God! The captain has lived under my rule for so long, and I don't even know it!

"Then the lower official can be bothered, I heard that the Tuojiu produced by Shehong is even full of praise for the poet Du Zimei, calling it 'Shehong Spring Wine is still cold and green', I don't know if Xiaguan can have this blessing today?" Li Zhizhou Road.

"It just so happened that when I went to Shehong, I didn't buy anything but this house. It was a good Tuo wine, and a few large urns were prepared. What about today? Not drunk and homeless? Xu Wei said with a smile.

"Dare to disobey?" Li Mo also laughed.

Duan Zhixian didn't seem to have come back to his senses, and stood on the spot, a little at a loss. Xu Wei saw it and said with a smile: "What? Duan Zhixian refuses to appreciate his face? ”

Seeing his appearance, Li Mo frowned slightly and said, "Shehong County, Taiwei Xu gave food, why didn't you say a word?" ”

Duan Zhixian woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said: "Then the lower official will be bothered." Xu, Taiwei Xu, how did you come to Shehong to stay, and I don't know if I will go down? For such a long time, the lower officials have never come to visit, which is really rude! Faux pas! ”

Xu Wei laughed: "Duan Zhi County is busy with official business, I don't want to trouble you." The virtuous name of the county Weng has been heard by Xu for a long time. Under your rule, all industries are prosperous, and the people live in peace. ”

Hearing Taiwei Xu's praise, Duan Zhixian was excited, and said loudly: "Xuanfu Xianggong has repeatedly warned us local officials to be diligent in government and love the people, and the lower officials are just following the instructions of Xuanfu Xianggong!" ”

Xu Wei shook the fan in his hand: "Don't you dare to be, Xu has now resigned from the Xuanfu envoy to be sent to be a fisherman on the edge of your county." ”！。
