Chapter 30 Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions

After more than ten days, he set foot in Fucheng again, and Wang Fulin was no longer cramped when he came last time. Because the eldest sister Wang Yuanguan had instructed him before, as soon as he entered the city, he first asked Jinbao to take Qiu Feng to the Majia Inn in the county town to settle down, and he and the two palanquin men went to a small house attached to the Xu family's compound in Doosan Street to post in front of it.

Because his trip came so suddenly, Wang Yuanguan was startled, and hurriedly asked his mother-in-law to invite him in. As soon as the sister and brother met, she hurriedly asked, "Why did you suddenly enter the city again?" Did my father and mother come back with a letter and say something important, or did something happen to Erniang's little sister? ”

"Eldest sister, although my father and mother didn't bring the letter back, they must be fine, and the second mother and the younger sister are also very good." Wang Fulin looked at Wang Yuanguan's anxious appearance, and hesitated a little whether he should come to say hello to the eldest sister first, but in the end he still said honestly, "This time I entered the city because Wu Lichang in Qianqiu came to inform me, saying that the county government sent my father to be the grain chief." ”

"What?" When Wang Yuanguan boarded, his willow eyebrows were upside down, and his face turned white. But she got married after all, not like Wang Erniang, who had a direct attack like a charcoal, and endured it again and again before saying word by word, "It's too much to deceive people!" ”

"Since my father is not here, of course I have to go into the city and deal with the new Zhao Si official in the house." When Wang Fulin said this, he comforted Wang Yuanguan and said, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I have my own opinions on this matter, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Little brother!" Wang Yuanguan was anxious, "Although I am married, I can't ignore my father's affairs." Even if your brother-in-law hasn't gone to school yet, I often follow my mother-in-law to see the old lady of my family......"

"Eldest sister, I went to Mr. Nanming's house when I came, although I didn't see Mr. Nanming, but the second master has promised not to stand by. All in all, you listen to me first in this matter, and don't bother my brother-in-law and others. Wang Fulin had to come up with the same trick as he did against Wang Erniang, seeing that Wang Yuanguan really showed a surprised and happy expression, he had to add oil and vinegar, and finally let the eldest sister rest assured.

"No wonder the second master came to see me after entering the city last time and brought a gift. He was an elder, so I went to see him. Wang Yuanguan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Wang Fulin, "Little brother, my father has been away all these years, and you used to only care about studying, and your mother and two younger sisters were in charge of the family. Now that you're assertive, I can finally feel at ease! If there is anything, don't give a letter. ”

"Yes, yes."

Lian Sheng agreed to the eldest sister, Wang Fulin pondered for a while, and learned that his brother-in-law Xu Zhen went out to meet friends, and he went to meet Wang Yuanguan's mother-in-law Ke Shi, and then said goodbye and left. This time he came to visit, and the two palanquin drivers were waiting at the door, and at this moment he came out and got on the sliding pole, and when he was about to leave Doosan Street, a group of people gathered around the two sedan chairs to meet him.

Although the street was spacious, there were two by four people in the group carrying a large sedan chair, and the people who followed him were hugging each other, so he came down and ordered the two sedan chair drivers to give way. Who knew that when he was about to stagger by, an old voice suddenly came from the sedan chair in front of his head.

"Stop."

It was just a small sound, and the group of people who were moving immediately stopped. Wang Fulin saw that the curtains of the four-person sedan chair in front of him were lifted, and it was vaguely visible that there was an old woman with gray hair sitting inside. He didn't know who the other party was, but it was not strange for many people to go out to salute, so he bowed and called the old lady.

This year is not like the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the clothing is all strict, and now as long as there is money, the old lady is called casually, and the golden clothes are worn casually even by the slaves, and the grade has long been confused.

Hearing his salutation, the old woman in the sedan chair asked with a smile: "Dare to ask, but Wang Xiaoxianggong?" ”

Wang Fulin hadn't been in Fucheng a few times, and he was recognized by a stranger when he walked on this Doosan Street, he muttered in his heart, but asked politely: "It's the student, I don't know who the old lady is......"

"The old body belongs to the Xu family on Doosan Street, and your eldest sister is also common on weekdays, after hearing about you before, I have been quite curious, but I didn't expect to be able to meet today."

The old woman in the sedan chair was the old lady of the Xu family, Fang, she paused here for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I wanted to invite you to sit at home today, but I saw that you were dressed in dust, and I thought that you had not been in the city for a long time. I wonder if I've already decided on an apartment? The old body in the coming day is so good that people can post. ”

"It turned out to be the old lady of the Xu family." Knowing that this is what my sister said about the old lady of the Xu family, Wang Fulin immediately bowed again, and then smiled, "Thank you for your concern, I still live in the Majia Inn on Heng Street in the back of the county. ”

"Okay, then it's settled." After the old woman bowed her head, she lowered the curtains, and the group set off again.

And when the four-person sedan chair passed in front of Wang Fulin, he only saw that the curtains were also moving slightly, as if someone was quietly looking at him through the gap, and he suddenly deliberately teased and smiled back. Seeing that the curtain was immediately closed, I don't know if the people inside saw it, but there was a faint voice of a young woman talking inside, obviously not alone. He didn't pay attention to it, and when he passed, he said hello to the sedan chair man, and left in the opposite direction of the group on the sliding pole, but he thought about it in his heart.

He didn't think about the Xu family's attitude. The Xu family is so polite to him now, maybe because the eldest sister can be a person, but in the final analysis, he has cleared his reputation and established a good relationship in Shexian Shilin.

The question is, why did the new Zhao official in the Yamen Room of Shexian County dare to send his father, who was not at home, as the grain chief?

After a while in a pastry shop in Fucheng, he entered the county seat of She County from the Desheng Gate and the outer gate in the east, but Wang Fulin did not go to the Majia Inn to meet Jinbao Qiufeng first, but came to the county government from the county front street, and posted a post asking to see Ye Junyao, the commander of She County, intending to take advantage of this to throw stones and ask for directions.

Anyway, in the eyes of others, he is only fourteen years old, although he has gained a bit of fame before, and it is natural to be reckless and impulsive, so it is not surprising that he has been wronged and finds the county master to call him Tianqu.

After Menzi read his post, he politely returned it with both hands: "It turned out to be Wang Xiaoxianggong, you are really unfortunate to come, Tangzun went to Huizhou Mansion in the afternoon, and he has not come back until now." If you are really in a hurry, the small one will help you hand it in first, and after Xing Tangzun looks back and sees it, he will summon him. ”

Although the words were respectful and polite, the middle-aged Menzi's eyes were a little erratic. Wang Fulin knew that this was a request for a door bag, but he pretended not to know. It wasn't until a palanquin driver came up next to him and whispered a reminder that he hesitated to take out a dozen coins from the money bag. Seeing this scene, the man suddenly reached out to take it without smiling, glanced at it, put it in his arms casually, and nodded with the post.

"Wang Xiaoxianggong rest assured, the small ones will definitely be sent in."

When Wang Fulin got on the slide and went away, the middle-aged man spit on the ground with disdain, and sneered with a cold face: "I thought it was terrible to take the exam?" Send me away for more than a dozen dollars, thinking that I am called Hanako! What the hell, relying on your idea, Lao Tzu will drink the northwest wind! ”

He had just thrown the post on the ground, and a middle-aged man happened to come out of the county office, it was Zhao Wuye, the leader of the Zhuang class. As soon as Zhao Wuye saw Menzi's move, he knew which one did not stuff the door bag when posting, and immediately asked with a smile: "Lao Xu, who just came?" ”

Menzi Lao Xu turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw this person, he who was still gloomy just now, quickly folded his smiling face. Menzi is a heavy service, and the third-class government service is also a heavy service, but the wages are different. Menzi is paid two taels of silver a year, which is far less than the three classes of officials, but the door bag is oily and watery. But Zhao Wuye is not only in the establishment, but also the role of the leader, so he doesn't dare to offend. Now that people have seen this scene, he immediately added fuel and vinegar to say that Wang Fulin was stingy, but he didn't expect Zhao Wuye to stare at him for a while, and suddenly stepped forward to pick up the famous post, and he couldn't get down a little face.

Zhao Wuye casually flipped through the name post, and saw that it was indeed signed by the student Wang Fu Lin Baibai, and there was a piece of paper in the middle, he picked it up and looked at it, and immediately smiled. Seeing Lao Xu standing there with a gloomy face, he casually closed the post, but handed over the piece of paper first: "See for yourself, you almost lost half a tael of silver." ”

"Huh?" Lao Xu was stunned when he heard this, and when he took it over, he saw that it was the cake coupon newly launched by the most famous pastry shop in Fucheng this year, he looked embarrassed, and saw that Zhao Wuye smiled and handed back the name post, he hurriedly accepted it, but muttered in his mouth, "It's really a showy and talented, where are so many famous people?" How can this thing be affordable! ”

Zhao Wuye also thought so in his heart - in the end, he was a talented man, and he gave a door bag and twisted and pinched, almost wasting money!
