Chapter 90: Thrifty
Wu Liangjia thinks that what Mo Xiaofei said is inappropriate, the previous rules were not like this, if Su Maolin was treated like this, he would definitely think that Mo Xiaofei did it on purpose, and in the future, the county government would report to the government if there was anything that could not be decided, but it would not be so easy to pass.
Wu Liangjia said, "My lord, Su Maolin came here to have something to do with Zhang Ping, you didn't give him face, he was already very uncomfortable in his heart, if he was sent to settle down like this, I think Su Maolin would hold a grudge." ”
Zhang Ping's matter has been closed by the county government, and this matter has already offended Su Maolin, so he is not afraid to let him deepen his impression of himself, anyway, he will definitely not be able to go all the way.
Mo Xiaofei said, "Do as I do, I am not targeting Su Maolin, no matter how big or small officials come to Wuxian in the future, they will follow this rule." ”
After the Wu Liang family left the study, Qiu Min came in.
Helpless, cold at home, what can a girl do.
She came to defect to Mo Xiaofei, she has made up her mind, this man has avenged his father, and he can't do anything too much.
"Adult ......"
"Don't call me sir, Qiu Min, I still like to hear you call me young master."
Qiu Min slammed and fell to his knees in the depths, "Young Master, if the young master doesn't dislike it, Qiu Min is willing to dedicate himself to the young master to repay the young master's great kindness." ”
Qiu Min has nothing, although she has some silver on her body, it is all given to her by Mo Xiaofei, except for a bed in the house, other things have already been moved by Zhang Ping.
At this time, there was only Mo Xiaofei in his heart, Qiu Min really couldn't think of where to go, and he didn't know where he would go, and Qiu Min didn't want to stay for a long time, so he just wanted to repay Mo Xiaofei and then find a way out.
Qiu Min's posture is not bad, if he dresses up, he will inevitably be like a flower after he is over eighteen, saying that Mo Xiaofei has no flowers and intestines is obviously not, people are not romantic teenagers, and it is Mo Xiaofei's impulsive age, this body that has not tasted wind and rain.
But Mo Xiaofei is not a person who takes advantage of people's danger, Qiu Min's affairs are all based on Mo Xiaofei's sympathy and appreciation of Qiu Min's character, and he does not try to trade Qiu Min as a cargo.
Mo Xiaofei stepped forward to help Qiu Min up, looked at her complicated expression, and said, "It's not that I dislike it, to be honest, you're very good, but I'm not a greedy person, so don't mention what happened just now, you don't have to repay me anything, as the magistrate of Wuxian County, eliminate violence and peace, these are all things I should do." ”
Mo Xiao looked at Qiu Min and said, "What are your plans in the future, if you need to find an errand or find a mother-in-law, I can help you find it in Wuxian." ”
Qiu Min shook his head shyly, "Young Master, if the young master can't look down on Qiu Min's appearance, can you let Qiu Min serve the young master left and right for a long time, Qiu Min is now alone, I hope the young master can take it in, Qiu Min will definitely be able to help the young master clean up, cook and make the bed, when the young master wants Qiu Min's body, the young master just speaks." ”
After finishing speaking, Qiu Min lowered his head.
Yes, it is not easy for Qiu Min to be a little girl, if she doesn't take care of her, maybe she will live on the streets, maybe she will be abducted, and she may fall into the land of fireworks.
Mo Xiaofei stroked Qiumin's shoulder, "Okay, stay, I have a house on the street but I haven't lived in it for a long time, and now I live in the backyard of the county government, and you will treat this place as your home in the future." ”
Let's talk about Su Maolin, the same acquaintance, because the speed of arresting Zhang Ping was very fast at that time, the person who asked Su Maolin for help was Zhang Ping's wife.
After Su Maolin heard the news, he was not in a hurry at all, and told Zhang Ping's wife that if Zhang Ping told his relationship with him in the county office, the magistrate of Wuxian County would not treat Zhang Ping well.
Su Maolin saw that Zhang Ping's mother was still not at ease, so he told her that he would take a day to inspect Wuxian County, and mention this matter at that time, believing that the magistrate of Wuxian County would give face.
The magistrate of Wuxian County has just been replaced by a new person, Su Maolin thinks that it is still necessary for him to meet, although this person is not installed by the prefect Lu Renyi, but he may get some benefits from getting acquainted.
Su Maolin is Lu Renyi's subordinate, but his life is not very good, and he is very aggrieved, the big and small affairs of Chengzhou Mansion are all caught by Lu Renyi, how can he say that he is also a deputy, he only does things every day and does not see benefits, which is really a nest.
So Su Maolin simply fully cooperated with Lu Renyi, only did things without seeking benefits, and went to the counties of Chengzhou to inspect in his spare time, which was also a means of collecting money, and it could also satisfy Lu Renyi, and he would naturally have his own benefits if he could be promoted in the future.
On the way, he heard that Wuxian County had closed Zhang Ping's case, Su Maolin suddenly started a fire, how could it be reasonable, whether Zhang Ping didn't tell his relative, or the magistrate of Wuxian County didn't give him face, if it was the latter, he simply thought the opposite.
It is already a potential rule in the Qing Dynasty for officials to protect each other, and if you take care of my people, I will also take care of your people, and everyone has money to make money together.
Even the three factions of Shen Yanyun, the Great Prince Licheng, and the Prince Ben Erqing also cooperate to a certain extent, although the contradictions between each other are enough to fight with life and death, but the united front between the domestic officials of the Qing Dynasty will never change.
Obviously, in Su Maolin's view, the magistrate of Wuxian County has become an alternative, if he knows about his relationship with Zhang Ping, and he is still so nonsense, this person is simply guilty of the taboo of officialdom.
So can Su Maolin not get angry, tell his subordinates to speed up and rush to the county seat of Wuxian overnight.
This night was the last inspection Zhu Laifu guarding the city gate, since he was not an official, he was squeezed out enough, who let the past when he was in office to be used to being a prestige, become an ordinary officer, can other officials respect him.
Let him do all the dirty work, and Zhu Laifu is not easy to lose this errand, and now in this world, only by selling to the emperor can he have a stable income.
Hearing the sound of a carriage, the sleepy Zhu Laifu lifted his spirits, and soon someone knocked on the gate outside the city gate, "Open the door!" Did the people inside hear it? ”
When it was about to arrive, I don't know if there was already a curfew in Lu Dao, Zhu Laifu was very angry in his heart, and he endured some grievances on weekdays, and he didn't let people sleep so late.
Zhu Laifu shouted, "Enter the county seat again tomorrow morning!" It's already a curfew! ! ”
", who's stinking in there! Open the door now! When the people outside heard this, they didn't have a lot of temper at all.
Hey, this person is still on top, damn, Zhu Laifu held the handle of the knife with his palm, and with the other hand, he pushed open the lock of the city gate and knocked the door, he was in a bad mood, Zhu Laifu now had the urge to beat people.
The door opened, and Zhu Laifu looked out suspiciously, seven or eight servants were standing outside, and there was a luxurious carriage behind him.
Zhu Laifu's anger just now subsided, and he asked, "How many are ......?"
"Damn, don't you know your dog's eyes, we are the officials of Chengzhou Mansion!"
"Yo, it turned out to be the poor brother of the government office, forgive Zhu for his clumsy eyes, just now you also reported to the house, I know that Lu Dao is the poor master of the government office, I opened the door early, hehe."
Zhu Laifu accompanied the smiling face, but he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was a slap.
Syllable! Zhu Laifu covered his face and was stunned.
"Damn, the foul-mouthed guy is you, Lord Tongzhi of Chengzhou Mansion is in the carriage, what kind of green onion are you, you dare to put on a score, get out of the way!"
Zhu Laifu stood on the side of the city gate with some fear, the carriage slowly drove into the county seat, and the officials behind him trotted behind, shaking his head vigorously, Zhu Laifu thought, hey, why did Lord Tongzhi enter the city so late, no, he had to report to the iron inspection immediately.
Mo Xiaofei received the report from Tie Erlai, and quickly thought that even if he went to Wuxian, it should be daytime, how could it be night.
And the person has arrived, but he didn't come to the county office, it seems that he must have known his own treatment of Zhang Ping, and he was dissatisfied, and he arrived without stopping.
However, Mo Xiaofei didn't know Su Maolin at all, and he really didn't know what way he had to restrain himself, wasn't he just a fellow acquaintance, and he was not a prefect, so he could completely disobey him.
Mo Xiaofei didn't want to wait for Su Maolin to come to the door, it was better to take the initiative by himself than to be led by others.
So as soon as the morning dawned, Mo Xiaofei led Tie Er to the inn where Su Maolin and the others stayed, Tie Er quickly inquired about the room where Su Maolin was, Mo Xiaofei walked over alone, stood outside the door and said, "Mo Xiaofei, the magistrate of Wu County, came to see Lord Tongzhi." ”
"Okay, okay, you're finally here, the official has been waiting here for a long time, Mozhi County, last night the official entered the county seat of Wuxian, you didn't greet the official at the first time, you are guilty of disrespect!"
The voice in the room rang out, and the tone was extremely unfriendly.
Mo Xiaofei understands that from this moment on, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, every word he says may leave Su Maolin with a handle to ask for guilt, and he is here to find fault.
Mo Xiaofei said respectfully, "My lord, the lowly duty is wronged, the person who guarded the city gate last night only went to the county office early this morning to report to the lowly office, and the lowly duty went to the inn after hearing the words. My lord, I thought that the adults must be tired of traveling, so I specially arranged a new residence for the adults, hoping that the adults could move. ”
"No need, this inn is good, come out to inspect it, you can't move the people, and naturally you can be thrifty......"
"My lord, aren't you interested in knowing the place where the Dao is arranged, Fuxin Pavilion, the place where the girls in Wuxian County are the most beautiful, the wine is the most beautiful, and the songs are the most elegant."
Mo Xiaofei interrupted Su Maolin's words and told Su Maolin that the Fuxin Pavilion was the Qinglou.
"Ahem, ahem."
After a dry cough in the house, Su Maolin opened the door and walked out.
looked at Mo Xiaofei and said solemnly, "Since Master Mo is so attentive and has already arranged it in advance, the official has no reason not to go, I think Master Mo must have given the silver, if you don't go, it is not in line with the principle of frugality of the official, let's go." ”
