Chapter 53: Officials

What does Zhilan look like, Xiao Mo has never seen it, since people have reported their names, Xiao Mo had no choice but to say: "Of course I remember, the Zhilan girl who is famous in Luzhou, why did she come to the cold house today?" ”

"Don't dare to be, the slave family is just a dusty woman, and she can't afford to be here!" Zhilan smiled and said: "I took the liberty to come this time, it was really because the adult was busy with official business, and the slave family in the yamen couldn't enter, so I could only come to visit the mansion...... Uh, in fact, I hope that adults can appreciate their faces, and participate in the poetry meeting held by the soft fragrance pavilion the day after tomorrow, in addition to adults, there are also a few talented people in Shenxian County, who have been invited, I hope adults don't refuse! ”

At first, Xiao Mo invited Zhilan to participate in the poetry meeting, a little sudden and unexpected, but when he heard the words later, Xiao Mo was relieved, and now Xiao Mo is in charge of the money and food in Shen County, because Master Lu was sent to the three towns, so the county school was also taken over by Xiao Mo. 【&n】

In ancient times, some poetry meetings were often held among literati, and Qinglou women were also an indispensable part of the poetry club, so many Qinglou, in order to expand their influence, often funded some poetry meetings, soft incense pavilion in Luzhou family to sit big, but also worthy of such qualifications, all year round, every quarter will hold a poetry meeting, in addition, Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang, Shangyuan such festivals, will also hold poetry lantern riddles such a grand event, invite Luzhou talents to participate.

Since it is a grand event, and it also involves official business, of course Xiao Mo will not refuse, it just so happens that he plans to leave Shen County in the next few days, because the news of his own bidding for iron ore will be released in a few days, those squires know it, and they must want to get a piece of the pie, as Shen County people, and they come to take over the mining of iron ore, of course, it is the best choice, but Xiao Mo played a trick, signed the agreement with them, and then planned to leave Shen County, hang them for a few days, and let them hurry for a while.

As for the affairs of Shen County, Xiao Mo had already thought about it, Xu Youzhi sat in the city supervision department, Yan Shibai led the officials to patrol Shen County, and Lin Yiye pushed away all affairs in the yamen.

Besides, after four days, the yamen will release grain, one hundred stones a day, and the people in the county will release grain according to their heads, and the people will not be able to make trouble if they have food, which is also what Xiao Mo has thought.

In addition, Xiao Mo also specially explained to Yu Niang, when the grain was released, she had to take the lead in receiving the grain, and strictly enforce it, and distribute the grain according to the standards of the yamen, so that the people would have nothing to say.

Xiao Mo thought a little too much, and delayed a little time, Zhilan waited for a long time and didn't get Xiao Mo's answer, her expression moved, and she said coquettishly: "My lord, do you want to refuse Zhilan?" ”

The eyebrows frowned lightly, the beautiful woman was coquettish, and was stared at by Zhilan's watery eyes, Xiao Mo felt his body crisp, and he couldn't help but lose his mind.

"Uh......" Xiao Mo was obviously unprepared for Zhilan's coquettish call, and he almost couldn't react, lost his fame, and flowed out of the pig brother's exclusive halazi, but fortunately, before Xiao Mo's saliva came out, Xiao Mo swallowed his saliva back: "Girl, don't worry, at that time, the official and the students of the county school will definitely participate in the poetry meeting on time!" ”

Zhilan laughed at this time, this smile is really bright.

Yang Yanqi couldn't stand Zhilan's behavior for a long time, so she left the hall with a blocked breath, leaving Yu Niang, who also thought that she couldn't compare to Zhilan's gorgeousness, so she lowered her head and felt very aggrieved.

What is this, provoke the fox outside, and bring it home to demonstrate?

After marrying Xiao Mo, Yu Niang's careful thinking also became active, and she always regarded herself as Xiao Mo's wife, and she did this in the Xiao family, and over time, she became accustomed to being Xiao Mo's wife.

Finally Zhilan got up, Xiao Mo and Yu Niang followed the day after tomorrow, sent her out, and when she got into the carriage, Zhilan turned around and said to Xiao Mo: "My lord, last time the poem of Lord Li Fu was still in the slave family, the sentence 'confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other' is extremely wonderful, the slave family sings every day, but it is more and more loved, I don't know if there can be a masterpiece this time?" ”

Xiao Mo shook his head: "Poetry, I'm not very good at it, the last time it was just a chance meeting, oh, by the way, after leaving the Li Mansion last time, Du Shaofu didn't get angry, right?" ”

Zhilan thought for a while, then shook her head and smiled: "The slave family didn't pay attention either, but at that time, everyone was stunned by your verse, and they were very surprised, who still has the heart to be angry?" ”

Then why did Du Shaofu leave Shen County without saying a word? Xiao Mo was puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask Zhilan, after all, Zhilan and Du Teng were not all the way, and the two had nothing to do with each other.

After sending Zhilan away, Xiao Mo turned around and saw Yu Niang's delicate little face, with grievances and dissatisfaction written on her face.

Yu Niang is one year younger than Xiao Mo, in Xiao Mo's eyes, she has always been a little girl, but after talking about marriage with Qiao Zheng, she has to face the fact that she is about to become his wife. ”

Yu Niang, who was affectionately pinched by Xiao Mo, obediently followed behind Xiao Mo, and her face was much better, but the sense of crisis that Zhilan brought her would not pass so easily.

"Ziheng, listen to Miss Zhilan's words, you wrote a poem last time and calmed everyone down, is it true?"

When Xiao Mo heard this, he said noncommittally: "What kind of town is it?" That's kind words, where can I write any poems? ”

In this era, the talents who can recite poetry are the favorite objects of the girls, and the wonderful poems are the sharp weapons of the girls, which Xiao Mo cannot deny, but seeing that Yu Niang also has a look of yearning for poetry talents, Xiao Mo put on a straight face, and instructed Yu Niang: "Don't go out and talk nonsense, I don't know any poetry, when the time comes, what should I do?" ”

Just kidding, sooner or later you are my person, and it is not a waste to be known that I have so much inventory, and then ask me for poetry all day long? Xiao Mo thought shamelessly in his heart, and then lied to Yu Niang, Yu Niang nodded, as if believing Xiao Mo's words, and then said, "That...... Why did Miss Zhilan say that? ”

Xiao Mo turned his head, looked at Yu Niang and said, "Didn't you say it?" That's a polite ......."

"But that's too polite! What is the relationship between the official and her, she ...... What kind of style is she? What does she mean when she comes to our house today? ”

"Uh......"

"Speechless, I...... I told my mother to go! ”

The aggrieved Yu Niang, when she became jealous, she looked aggrieved, her eyes were watery, Xiao Mo looked at Yu Niang's face, looked at it for a long time, and finally 'poofed' and laughed. "You, little head melon seeds, are they full of paste?"

Even the 'official' shouted out, Xiao Mo only saw Yu Niang today, this cottage little widow who swallowed her anger in her own home and was determined to stay for three years, it turned out that she also had her own little temper.

In ancient times, women called their husbands, there were many kinds, such as husband, father-in-law, master, and ordinary eunuchs were like Yu Niang, calling officials. and Xiao Mo have not yet married, and now they can't be called like this, it seems that the arrival of Zhilan has given Yu Niang too much sense of crisis.
