Chapter 11: Make a Wish
got the silver ticket and got the benefits, Mo Xiaofei left satisfied.
Mo Xiaofei naturally would not prepare medicine for this corrupt official, and randomly picked up some inferior herbs that could not be cured by eating immortals, and he must not be cured, if he saw that he was about to be angry, he would prepare a special aphrodisiac medicine for him, in short, he would abolish this person.
The three hundred taels of silver tickets naturally had to be confiscated, and Mo Xiaofei was obliged to take it for himself.
Liao Dayong is a real person, but he is also a curious person, he has been guarding outside the county office, and when he saw Mo Xiaofei coming out, he immediately stepped forward to ask.
Mo Xiaofei said with a smile, "Zhang Zhixian appreciates me very much, and he summoned me this time to reward me with silver." ”
"How so?"
Liao Dayong knows Zhang Huai'an, and he has nothing to do, and he is either a traitor or a thief.
"I'm Zhang Zhixian's reborn parents, if he wants his wives to enjoy, he has to give me silver to enjoy, otherwise he won't be able to enjoy it, do you understand?"
Mo Xiaofei said in a circle.
Liao Dayong shook his head, "It seems that you don't understand, what do you enjoy?" ”
Mo Xiaofei didn't dare to say it clearly, after all, Zhang Huai'an's matter was confidential, and if it was spread, Zhang Huai'an would have to slaughter himself.
"Brother Liao, it doesn't matter what you enjoy, the important thing is that although the magistrate promoted me, he didn't arrange an errand for me, I urgently need a job to solve my livelihood, how about it, can you introduce an official to me?"
"You want to be an official! There are only three ways to be an official, if you don't have any conditions, don't think about it in the next life. ”
Mo Xiaofei was puzzled, how could there be three ways?
I heard Su Qingqing say that there are only two official examinations and donations, how can there be one more, there is another shortcut.
Mo Xiaofei asked, "Brother Liao, tell me quickly, in addition to the imperial examination and donating silver, what other ways are there, as long as I can be an official, I will definitely cover you in the future." ”
Liao Dayong told Mo Xiaofei that in addition to these two ways, there is also a method called "Chengyin Sponsorship".
If he dies in the line of duty, his death has made a significant contribution to the state and the local government, and his immediate family members can obtain the rank through the law of Chengyin's sponsorship.
I thought there was still hope, but when I heard Liao Dayong say this, I suddenly became bored again, where to find relatives by myself, the closest person at the moment is a fake cousin, and this road seems to be no fun.
Mo Xiaofei muttered to himself, "Why is it so difficult to be an official, can I only go to the capital to recommend myself as an imperial doctor and flirt with the beauties of the harem." ”
Liao Dayong patted his head, "Oh, by the way, I thought about the harem, and there is one more thing, the Chengzhou Mansion stepped up the requirements to the county government this morning, I heard that the emperor is going to draft girls, and each county will recommend several school-age women to Chengzhou Mansion, and then after the provincial government is selected layer by layer, the most reluctant will enter the palace." Hey, I don't know which family of women in Ludao suffered. ”
Isn't it a good thing to be elected to the palace? Liao Dayong used the word disaster to describe it, which is enough to show that the darkness of the Forbidden Palace is terrible and terrible, and it seems to be the same as what he guessed, this Qing Dynasty is not a prosperous era.
"By the way, your cousin's age meets the conditions, and her appearance is second to none in Wuxian, I think it's ......"
Liao Dayong looked worried, his worries were not unreasonable, who in Wuxian didn't know the beauty of Du Bangyue, when it came to the draft, the county would definitely make a big fuss about it.
Damn, Mo Xiaofei reacted immediately, no wonder Zhang Huaian said so generously just now that the house was free for one year, where can he wait for a year, maybe Du Wanyue will be sent to the palace in a few months.
Mo Xiaofei didn't doubt Du Bangyue's appearance at all, if she couldn't be selected, the queen and the concubine would be laid off.
Hurriedly returned to the steamed bun shop, no matter what, there was still a major harvest today, three silver tickets Mo Xiaofei took out two and handed them to Du Wanyue, "Cousin, you take the silver tickets, or we won't do the steamed bun business, let's do something else with two hundred taels of silver." ”
Du Bangyue had never seen so much money, two hundred taels of silver was enough to build a house on one acre of land in the county seat, and asked in surprise, "Cousin, where did you get so many silver tickets." ”
For an ordinary person to earn two hundred taels of silver, he would have to spend at least two years without eating or drinking.
Mo Xiaofei replied, "The magistrate of the county is rewarded, in addition to these silver tickets, my household registration has also been settled, and I will be a person from Wuxian County tomorrow." ”
was talking happily, when suddenly Mo Xiaofei frowned, "Bang Yue, I have bad news to tell you, I heard that there is a draft girl in the palace." ”
Du Bangyue's originally smooth and smooth face sank, and the atmosphere in the room was suddenly depressed, Du Bangyue's expression was sad, her eyes were blank, and she looked at Mo Xiaofei sadly, and only after a long time did she say softly, "My life is like this, I can't complain about others, if I can really choose, it's not bad, at least it's better than the current poor life, cousin, I'll go!" ”
Mo Xiaofei really didn't expect Du Wanyue to agree!
However, Mo Xiaofei thought about it seriously, Du Bangyue can stubbornly surpass the local rich and argue with the magistrates, but what about the supreme imperial power, who would dare to disobey him.
The sadness in Mo Xiaofei's heart is no one to touch, but he can't see any displeasure from his expression, he has to be calm, so that Du Bangyue can be stronger and more free and easy, there is no regret, nothing to look back on.
Mo Xiaofei said, "Bang Yue, if you run, there is no doubt that you will be able to enter the palace, there are many conspiracies in the palace, traps everywhere, you have to be careful, plant good karma and bear good fruits, don't offend anyone, even if it is a little eunuch, there is still ......." ”
"I'm tired, cousin, and I want to sleep for a while."
Du Wanyue's tone was very cold, Chu Chu's sad eyes did not let Mo Xiaofei see it, and walked towards the inner room with his head down, his steps moving very slowly, as if waiting for something.
Mo Xiaofei was aggrieved in his heart, he just wanted to drink now, in fact, what he said just now was not his true meaning, he really wanted to shout out, save the moon, stay!
But what is happiness, Mo Xiaofei doesn't think that being by her side is happiness, what can she give her now, and what kind of position does she occupy in her heart.
Love words are bitter for life, and a drink relieves a thousand sorrows.
After finding a restaurant, Mo Xiaofei sat for a few hours, and the night had begun to cover the earth.
The guests have all left, and there are only two tables of guests left in the entire restaurant.
"Young man, borrow wine to eliminate your sorrows, can you eliminate your sorrows after waking up, wine is for heroes and heroes to drink, not a tender man like you."
At the other table sat a man in black with long messy hair, his eyes were full of eyebrows, and his drinking movements were also very wild, with a strong body, thick arms, and short black beards.
was originally dizzy, Mo Xiaofei laughed after hearing this, he has been a human being in two lives, how can he not know these truths, do you need him to teach him a lesson.
Who knew that Lu Dao's emotional intelligence was so soft, and he had to be tricked everywhere, Du Bangyue had only known him for a few days, but Mo Xiaofei really regarded her as the woman in his heart and protected her wholeheartedly.
"This uncle, maybe only the ruthless and heartless can have your consciousness. What is love, it is not a burden, a loving life is perfect, you are heroic, you are a hero, so what, your life is incomplete and flawed. What you think is happiness is happiness, don't impose your own thoughts on others, people are different. ”
The man in black glared at Mo Xiaofei with crossed eyebrows, was stunned, and said, "Okay, your opinion is not unreasonable, young man, come over and have a few drinks, I will accompany you to relieve your sorrows, and you will accompany me to release my pride, ha, how about it." ”
Mo Xiaofei twisted the two wine bottles and walked over, he just wanted to vent today, and he drank the same as anyone.
The two of them drank like this, no one asked anyone about it, but they also drank happily, but there was a black mark in the palm of the man in black that was taken into Mo Xiaofei's eyes, although he was drunk, but the professional sensitivity of the old bank made him suspicious.
Mo Xiaofei asked, "This uncle, there is a black mark in your palm, which seems to be emitting from the inside out, could it be poisoning?" ”
The man in black looked at Mo Xiaofei, raised his right hand and shook it from side to side, "Yes, it's indeed poisoned, it's been seven years, and I can't get rid of it by all means, maybe God is destined to do so, I have three years to live at most." ”
The man in black looked like he was in his early forties, not young, but he only had three years to live and was still so free, Mo Xiaofei had some respect in his heart.
Mo Xiaofei said, "If you continue to indulge in drinking like this, I guarantee that you will not live for three years, at most two years." ”
The man in black doesn't seem to take his own body seriously, three years and two years are not terrible, what is there to fear of death, a big bowl of wine and a stomach, the man in black said, "I have lived enough in this life, I have done everything that should be done, even if I can't do it for another twenty years, I can't finish it, don't talk about life and death, manly man, why don't you die and why be afraid of death, come on, come on, drink a big drink." ”
"Two guest officers, it's better to stay in the hotel."
The shopkeeper hopes that the two of them are staying in the hotel, and there are still two people who have not been sent away at such a late hour, and now there are two more people, if they eat and drink for a while, when will they be able to rest.
"It's ...... to stay at the hotel, but I haven't eaten dinner yet, so let's have a few good dishes first." Said the leader of the two.
The shopkeeper was disappointed for a while, the kitchen was long gone, and he was shouldering several duties at this time, so he reluctantly replied, "Okay, please sit down first, two guest officers." ”
"Hey, chief scribe, isn't that the little doctor who prescribes medicine to adults?" Said the other of the two.
"Hehe, it doesn't take much effort to get here, so that we don't disturb the magistrate of Wuxian County."
After speaking, the leader walked towards Mo Xiaofei.
The man in black may have left without saying hello to Mo Xiaofei because of the large number of strangers.
"It's your ......"
After the two sat down, Mo Xiaofei quickly recognized that when he was looking for Crane Dinghong in the pharmacy, he had a relationship with these two people, but the person in brocade who coughed did not appear.
"Hello little doctor, my name is Guo Bocheng, I came to you at this time on the order of my master, your medicine is very effective, and my master's illness has improved greatly."
After a period of greetings, Guo Bocheng asked, "I don't know what Brother Lu Daomo wants, my lord said, I must help you fulfill a wish, don't mention anything." ”
Mo Xiaofei was not far from getting drunk at this time, and Guo Bocheng in front of him gradually became two heads, lying on the table and preaching, "Oh, you can still make a wish, it's really fake, then be an official, I want to be an official......"
