Chapter 016: Who is more noble than whom (3) 1/2
Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, pity me, give some collection recommendations......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Judging from his appearance, Deng Ji is a very honest young man.
He is not tall, about 175 cm, and he is slightly obese. He has a round face and small eyes, but he is very attentive.
But perhaps it was the reason for the excessive fatigue, and Deng Ji's eyes looked very empty at this time.
The face was very unsightly, and there was an unhealthy pale. His hair was a little unkempt, and his black cotton robe was crumpled and there were a few less obvious stains. Standing in the living room, he respectfully saluted Kuaizheng: "Little official Deng Ji, meet Kuai County Order!" ”
I was a little dazed in my heart, and I didn't understand what Kuaizheng had ordered when he suddenly found him.
It stands to reason that although Deng Ji is Kuaizheng's subordinate, he has never had contact with Kuaizheng. He himself is not a person who is good at drilling camps and likes to be pleased. At all times, I do my job conscientiously and conscientiously, and I never take other things to heart.
Originally, he was sorting out his household registration in the public house of the county government.
Due to the change of county order, the household registration information of this county must be submitted to the new county order.
The household registration management in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not as standardized as in later generations. Especially after the Taiping Road Yellow Turban Rebellion, household registration management became extremely lax. The last time I sorted out my household registration was when Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou. Since then, the order of Jianyang County has not paid much attention to this, although the county Cheng Wang Wei is very concerned about this, but due to trivial matters, he has taken too much energy, so he has to sort it out sporadically.
Jianyang County is a medium-sized county with a population of 10,000 households and a population of nearly 50,000.
Almost every day, there will be birth, old age, sickness and death. After several years of accumulation, it is not a simple matter to suddenly come up with accurate statistics. In addition, Deng Cai deliberately made it difficult and piled up several years of things for Deng Ji to sort out at once. Deng Ji is indeed very capable, but under such circumstances, it is impossible to complete it immediately. After all, he has been working in the county government for more than three days, and he doesn't even have time to go back and change his clothes...... Even so, he still has to face Deng Cai's aggressiveness every day.
Kuaizheng was also stunned when he saw Deng Ji.
I couldn't help but feel strange in my heart, why did Cao Peng's brother-in-law look so embarrassed?
He seemed to have some of the idea......
Cao Peng is here to ask for sin!
Of course, Kuai Zheng is not afraid of Cao Peng. Even if Cao Peng was Pang Ji's disciple, or even Pang Ji's son, he would not be afraid.
But offending a person for no reason is not a good thing after all.
Besides, Cao Peng did not ask the guilt in person, and his words were very polite and humble. When someone's sister had a conflict with someone at home, he came to pick up his brother-in-law back, which is also human nature. But the problem is that Deng Ji has become like this when he works under his hands. When it is preached, it has no glory on the face. Kuai Zheng is still strange, what is this Deng Ji doing in the public house?
It's not easy to toss yourself like this......
Originally, Kuaizheng was going to call Deng Ji over and let him and Cao Peng go back.
But now, he also became interested, and asked in a deep voice: "Deng Ji, when the county first took office, everything is not clear, and I haven't had time to meet you yet." I heard that you haven't been home for three days, I don't know why? If you have any difficulties, just raise them with the county. ”
Deng Ji's eyes were blank, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.
"Didn't the county order ask the officials to sort out the household registration of Jianyang?"
Kuai Zheng nodded and said, "This is indeed the case...... But I didn't let you go home for three days, did I? ”
"If you go back to the county order, you instructed that you must compile the household registration into a book and submit it to the later day, so that the little officials can only learn shallowly, and they can only stay up all night from Dan to night after day."
Kuai Zheng was stunned and said, "When do I want you to report your household registration later?" ”
After he said it, he seemed to explain to Cao Peng: "Since the younger brother took office, I heard that the household registration of Jianyang County has not been repaired for several years, so he ordered someone to sort it out...... Deng Ji, I said, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, it is difficult to repair the household registration, but it can be repaired slowly, and when will you report it later? ”
"Huh?"
Deng Ji was stunned and said, "But the master said that this is what you ordered......"
"Nonsense!"
Kuai Zheng was annoyed when he heard this, and his face sank, "You mean, did Deng Cai order you?" ”
"Exactly."
"How can this pook do things like this?"
Kuaizheng is really a little angry!
The reason why Deng Cai was used as his main book was that before he took office, he was introduced by the clansmen. I thought about the person introduced by my family, but even if I didn't have great skills, I could be a confidant. After all, the Kuai family is not in Jianyang at all, and if Kuai Zheng doesn't have anyone available, it's not easy to show his strengths. But now, Deng Cai has made him lose face in front of the Lumen disciples...... It's not a good thing that this gets out.
"Brother Xian, this matter ...... The subordinates were messing around, which actually implicated Brother Deng, and he also hoped for his virtuous brother Haihan. ”
Only then did Deng Ji notice that in this hall, in addition to Kuai Zheng, there was also a sick and plainly dressed young man. At first glance, Deng Ji still felt that this young man was a little familiar. When he married Cao Nan, he had met Cao Peng. It's just that because Cao Peng is withdrawn, he didn't pay much attention to it. At this time, when I saw him again, Deng Ji couldn't remember who Cao Peng was. It is impossible for him to think about Cao Peng...... After all, he also knows the situation of his daughter-in-law's mother's family, how can he let a county order be treated like a guest?
Unbeknownst to him, the young man got up and waved his hand seemingly indifferently.
"Why should the eldest brother blame himself, this matter has nothing to do with the eldest brother, the people below are messing around, just turn around and discipline yourself, don't take it to heart."
As he spoke, the young man walked up to Deng Ji and said, "Brother-in-law, let's go home." ”
Brother-in-law?
Deng Ji was even more puzzled, staring at the young man for a long time before stammering and asking, "You, you, you...... Is it Ah Fu? ”
"Brother-in-law, don't you recognize me?"
Deng Ji opened his mouth wide in surprise and stammered, "Ah Fu, why are you here?" ”
Cao Peng smiled, "Brother-in-law, this is a long story, let's go back and talk about it."
My sister had a conflict with Deng Cai's daughter-in-law today and was injured a little...... You hurry up and go back with me, I'll explain to you slowly on the way. ”
Deng Ji was really a little confused!
Is this still his own brother-in-law who is withdrawn and difficult to get close to?
And Kuai Zheng on the side was also stunned when he heard it.
Previously, Cao Peng told him that his sister had a conflict with a wicked woman in the village. Kuai Zheng didn't care...... In his opinion, what kind of wicked woman or the like is not worth mentioning at all. As long as Cao Peng proposed, he could not say a word and help Cao Peng out of this evil breath. But if this is the case, Kuai Zheng may look down on Cao Peng. Fortunately, Cao Peng didn't mention it, and Kuai Zheng certainly didn't ask about it.
Can ...... now
Deng Cai, it's Deng Cai again!
"Brother Cao Xian, you just said Deng Cai, which Deng Cai is it?"
Cao Peng pretended to be stunned and replied, "It's a clansman from Deng Village...... Brother, I just arrived today, and to be honest, I don't know what's going on. ”
Kuaizheng's face was gloomy and he looked at Deng Ji.
"Brother Deng Xian, how many Deng talents are there in Deng Village?"
“…… Well, there's only one brother. ”
"Deng Cai or your brother?"
"Exactly...... But it was born of a half-brother. ”
The ancients used to say, 'Brother and brother'. These four words are left by Confucius Sage, and they are also an important basis for evaluating a person's virtue. Deng is Deng Ji's brother, but he makes things difficult for his brother everywhere. It seems that it is inseparable from the word 'brother and friend'! However, this Deng Ji is gentle and humble, and he speaks slowly, quite a 'brother Gong'.
Inadvertently, Kuaizheng's good impression of Deng Ji has improved; At the same time, Deng Cai's senses also dropped to the freezing point all of a sudden.
"Brother Cao Xian, you go back with Deng Ji first.
After Sister Ling is in good health, the little brother will pick up the wind for you in the county seat...... Deng Ji, you are taking care of Cao Niangzi at home these days, so you don't have to rush back to do things. As for the household registration, you don't have to worry about it anymore, and when you come back, the county will entrust you with other important matters. ”
"Whoa!"
Deng Ji was suddenly overjoyed and hurriedly intervened to answer.
Cao Peng stood beside him, his pale face still looking extraordinarily calm.
Since he came to the county government and talked to Kuaizheng, every word he said was carefully considered. Originally, if Kuaizheng didn't ask about Deng Ji's work, he would also bring the topic to this. I didn't expect Kuai Zheng to be the governor and automatically mention it, which also saved him trouble.
This kind of family is the most face-saving.
Today, I came over with the hat of Pang Ji's student and gave Kuai a face.
Then Kuaizheng will definitely give him enough face......
"Brother-in-law, let's go."
After that, Cao Peng bowed his hand to Kuai Zhengyi, "My lord, the younger brother will say goodbye first." ”
Cao Peng walked out of the hall with Deng Ji, and Deng Ji was still a little dizzy.
He still seems to have fallen into a cloud, and he can't figure it out. My brother-in-law, why did he suddenly appear in Thorn Yang? And looking at the posture just now, Kuai Zheng and him seem to be extremely affectionate. The surnames of these families, Deng Ji also knows a little. It's not the same status, they don't put down their bodies like this...... It has been almost three or four months since I last saw Cao Peng.
Could it be that in these three or four months, the brother-in-law has become the climate?
Deng Jishen followed behind Cao Peng with one shallow foot, and after a while, he came to the gate of the county government.
"Brother-in-law, does Father Wang still recognize you?"
In private, Cao Peng can call Uncle Wang Meng; But on the scene, it is necessary to respect the 'father'.
The father and the uncle mean the same thing, only more respectful.
This is the county government, and Cao Peng's words and deeds must be paid attention to.
Deng Ji and Wang Meng were very familiar with each other, and immediately called out in surprise: "Uncle, don't come unharmed." ”
"Uncle and grandson, you haven't changed."
"Uncle, ...... you are today"
"Hehe, it's a long story, let's go back first.
Your brother has called a doctor, and maybe he should be home by this time. Let's take care of these things first, and then we'll have a good talk. ”
Deng Ji nodded, raised his leg and was about to get into the car.
At this moment, I heard someone next to the gate shouting: "Deng Ji, where are you going?" ”
Deng Ji was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw a young man walking out of the corner gate next to the county office. The man looked older than Deng Ji, and he looked a little older. But at first, it was a little thin, the eyes were a little slender, and the bridge of the nose was high, revealing a caustic and unkind smell.
"Brother......
"How many times have I told you, this is the county government, not the family.
Here, you have to call me to the office...... It's really rude, it's a shame that you're also a reader, and you've really lost the face of a reader. ”
Deng Ji's face flushed, and his breath suddenly became a little short.
He held back his anger and arched his hand: "See Master Deng's book......"
This young man is Deng Ji's brother, Deng Cai.
I saw him holding his neck high and saying with a cold and arrogant look: "Deng Ji, where are you going?" ”
"Back to Master Deng, the little official is about to go home."
"Home?" Deng Cai's small eyes widened, and he shouted: "Which one allows you to go home?" Can you finish what was given to you? ”
Deng Ji's face turned red and he was about to answer.
But I heard a cold voice coming from the gate of the county government, "I let him go home, Master Deng, what is your opinion?" ”
Deng Cai was arrogant, and scolded without looking back: "What are you?" I'm telling you, you don't want to go back until you finish your official duties. ”
After speaking, he realized that the sentence just now was not what Deng Ji said.
So he hurriedly turned around and looked. Seeing this, Deng Cai's face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly hunched his waist and stammered: "The unknown county order is here, the lower official, the lower official ......."
Kuai Zheng walked out of the county office, stared at Deng Cai coldly, and squeezed out a sentence gloomily for a long time, "Master Deng, you are such a big official!" ”
