There were many people in front of the yamen of Cangshan County, Yu Zhushu stood in front, Niu Dazhuang and Niu Shan stood beside Yu Zhushu. Yu Zhushu was very worried that there was a case of human trafficking in the county. I didn't solve the case, but the county commander got the person back, doesn't this show that he is very conscientious and incompetent.

Cangshan County is a medium-sized county, and according to the system, there should be one person in the county, which is the grade from the eighth grade. However, since the previous county minister returned to his hometown, the position of county governor in Cangshan County has always been vacant. At present, the main book is only a grade under the ninth grade, which is three levels lower than the county Cheng. For a long time, Yu Zhushu wanted to be a county official, but if he wanted to be a county official, he must be recommended by the county order. Therefore, he is usually respectful to Yuan County's order in the main book.

Yuan Xianling is upright, and what he hates most is people who don't do the right thing and try every means to pull connections and engage in drilling. Yu Zhushu has never found a breakthrough to get closer to Yuan County's order. This time, Yuan County ordered him to return to his hometown and province, and all the big and small things in the county were handed over to the main bookkeeper. Yu Zhushu wanted to behave well, but he didn't expect such a case to happen, how could he not worry about his future.

Contrary to Yu Zhu's apprehension, Niu Dazhuang and Niu Shan were very happy. Niu Tianci was recovered, and Niu Tong also got the punishment he deserved. In the future, they can live a down-to-earth life, how can the two of them not be happy. The two of them tiptoed into the distance, hoping that the county order would come back soon.

The carriage of the Yuan County Ling family stopped at the gate of the county office, and Yan Hui was the first to jump out of the car and run over.

"Daddy, Grandpa, I'm back. It was the county lord who rescued me. ”

Yan Hui threw himself into Niu Dazhuang's arms, he really missed his father and mother, and he missed the villagers. Yuan Xianling's family smiled and watched the reunion of father and son, and nodded again and again.

"I'm waiting to meet the county honor, the county lord has worked hard all the way." Bow before the main book.

"Hehe, Brother Zhengqing is really hard. This county is not in these days, thanks to Zhengqing's diligence, this county can feel at ease. Yuan Chong said with a smile to the main book.

The full name of Yu Zhushu is Yu Zhengqing, and Yuan Chong is usually called Yu Zhushu. Today's Yuan Chong directly called him by name with the word "virtuous brother", which seems very unusual in peacetime. Yu Zhushu was even more apprehensive in his heart, and his mouth replied indiscriminately: "Don't dare, don't dare, the county has won the award." ”

Yuan Chong walked up to Niu Dazhuang and said with a smile: "This is Niu Dazhuang?" ”

Niu Dazhuang hurriedly pulled Niu Tianci to kneel down and replied: "It is the grass people." The county lord rescued my family and was the benefactor of my family. The grass people's family is grateful, and kowtows to the county lord. ”

"Oh, no need to be polite, please get up. This is the head of the Niu family, Niu Shanniu, the old man? ”

Niu Shan arched his hand and said: "It is the grass people, and the grass people thank the county lord." The kindness of the county lord to my Niu family is unforgettable for the whole grass people. The grass people have already set up a banquet in Songyue Tower, and they want to invite the county to condescend. First, I would like to thank the county for saving my family. Second, to wash the dust for the county. I hope that the county will not shirk. After saying these few words, Niu Shan's face was covered with sweat. These words were said by Niu Shan, who taught Niu Shan in the main book, otherwise Niu Shan, a rural villager, would not have said it so satisfactorily in any case.

"Haha, my husband is polite. Although the county does not want to disturb the villagers, but the so-called elders give it, it is impossible to resign, and the county is better to be respectful than to obey it. In addition, the county has a matter to discuss with the old man and the Niu family father and son, and I hope that the old man will agree. ”

"Ken, Ken. The county is respected, but there is a sending, and the grass people must obey and must obey. "Niu Shan is almost out of words. When the poor people saw the county order, it was like seeing the emperor, Yuan county order was so polite, and Niu Shan was proud and nervous. I don't know what I'm talking about, I just need to nod my head and say yes.

Yuan County's family was in front, and Yu Zhushu and the Niu family went straight to Songyue Tower. On the way, Yan Hui jumped directly on the back of Yu Zhu's horse and said to him: "Lord Zhu, if the county lord asks you to recite poetry in a while, you must be very excited and admired." The etiquette should be thoughtful, and the county should be regarded as the appearance of the division commander. Then he drank three cups with the county honor, and then read the poem with emotion. Don't ask me why, just know what's good for you. Remember, this poem is called "Village House". ”

Looking at Yan Hui, who was sitting in his arms shaking his head and teaching himself to memorize poems, Yu Zhushu didn't understand what benefits he could do by reciting a poem. But this poem is really good, much stronger than what Yuan Xianling wrote.

Songyuelou is the largest restaurant in Cangshan County, and it is the richest man in Cangshan. When Yuan Xianling and his entourage came to the door of the restaurant, the chubby Wan Yuanwai led a group of shopkeepers waiting in front of the door. Together with them, there were also celebrities and scholars from Cangshan County who greeted Yuan County. It's not that Niu Shan has such a big face, but these people want to take this opportunity to get close to Yuan Xianling.

"Oh, the county is here, and the grass people are far away, forgive their sins." Ten thousand people walked on short legs, personally helped Yuan County to dismount, and greeted everyone affectionately. It is said that the trader is exquisite, which is true. Don't look at the fat like a ball, but the mouth is sharp. talked and laughed in all aspects, both flattering Yuan County's order and not snubbing others. After his jokes, the atmosphere of Yuan County's party became obviously warm. Yan Hui looked at Wan Yuanwai and secretly praised in his heart: talent, what a talent.

The best private room in Songyue Tower has been arranged, everyone is humble and asks Yuan County to make the first one. It is rare for thousands of people to pour wine in person. During the banquet, everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer. It can be seen that Yuan Xianling is in a good mood today. The wine is dry, and the conversation and laughter are lively. From time to time, he glanced at the main book. Yu Zhushu carefully checked his dress. Very good, wow, there's nothing wrong with it. Just when he was scratching his head, his leg hurt. I saw Niu Tianci standing beside him and winking at him.

"Poetry." Yan Hui only said this one word. Yu Zhushu suddenly realized, stood up and coughed, everyone knew that he was going to speak, so he stopped his cup and looked at Yu Zhushu without saying a word. Yuan Xianling smiled slightly, put down the wine glass, and leaned back on the back of the chair very proudly. Yu found that the eyes of the county lord were full of encouragement and appreciation. Yes, it is indeed encouragement and appreciation. Yu Zhushu is very excited. He is so dedicated, and he was taught to memorize poems by a milky child, didn't he just want to win the appreciation of the county lord? This has not yet memorized the poem county order The Lord values himself so much, how can Yu Zhushu not be excited. This happiness came too quickly, but it takes some effort to succeed.

Yu was blessed to the soul of the main book, and said with a lofty spirit: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's county respects the return to the government and solves the big case alone, which is really hard work. Since the county lord came to our county, he forgot to sleep and eat, and worked diligently. We spare no effort to seek the well-being of the people of our county, and we are all grateful for the kindness of adults. Today, just drinking is boring, and everyone here is the elite of our county. Why don't I follow the example of the sages and use poetry to accompany wine, and take spring as the theme? ”

Everyone praised it, and Yuan County's order applauded even more. A few scholars jumped out first to show themselves. For a time, spring flowers and green willows, evening breeze and bright moon, all kinds of gorgeous words emerge in endlessly. Ten thousand people are very good at coming to things, and they order people to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and one person finishes reciting. Ten thousand people asked someone to write it down, and he was going to decorate the façade with these ink treasures. Of course, he most hoped that Yuan Xianling would also leave a handwritten ink treasure, which was something he had begged for a long time and had not gotten.

Yuan Xianling commented on everyone's poems with great interest, and everyone thanked them again and again. No matter how good the poem is, it is the most important thing to be remembered by the county magistrate. Yuan Xianling took the time to glance at Yu Zhu's book, and almost didn't have fun. I only saw the mouth of the main book, and it was about to go to the back of the head, which obviously looked down on everyone's poems.

A young scholar who had just received praise from Yuan County's order was very unhappy when he saw Yu Zhushu's expression. Chong Yu arched his hand in the main book and said: "The student looks at the master of the master book and seems to have a good work, and he also asks the master of the master to give advice." ”

Yu stood up and said proudly: "This official is only a shallow learner, but he is obsessed with a swan song. This poem is not my work, but Yu Mou thought that the author of this poem was only eight buckets and had a noble character. No one in my county can stand out from it, and you will listen carefully. ”

"The grass grows and the warbler flies in the February sky, and the willows are drunk with spring smoke. The children returned early from school and were busy releasing paper kites in the east wind. ”

In the main book, the mood of the poem "Village House" is vividly expressed.

"Good. Good poetry, good poetry, really good poetry. Niu Shan clapped his hands and applauded. If you don't applaud him, you can't do it, if you don't applaud Yanhui, you will pinch him.

The scholars who were still immersed in the artistic conception of poetry seemed to be awakened, and praised each other again and again. The young scholar respectfully asked the master bookkeeper: "Master bookkeeper, student Meng Lang." I wonder which masterpiece's masterpiece this is? ”

Yu Zhushu picked up the wine glass with both hands and walked to Yuan Xianling. He could see it clearly, Yuan Xianling's eyes looked at him brightly, and his eyes were as warm as a person who had been hungry for eighteen days when he saw a meat bun.

"The county lord has always admired the talent and learning of the county lord. It's just that adults have a noble character and don't like to listen to people's flattery. But since I heard the poem "Village House" that adults came to me, I felt that the other poems were indifferent. Every time I recite this poem, I can't help but hit the wine festival, and my heart is fascinated. My lord, I am willing to be a disciple of an adult, and I can learn the talent of an adult, and I have no regrets even if I die. Sir, my disciple toasts you three times. Everyone just woke up, it turned out that this was the masterpiece of the county order, and everyone rushed to toast to the Yuan county order. Words of beauty poured out like a tide.

After Yu finished speaking, he drank three glasses in a row, bent down to hold the empty cup, and looked at Yuan Xianling with eager eyes. That expression even Yan Hui couldn't stop secretly praising it: It's too realistic, it's definitely acting in its true colors. If Yu Zhushu lives in modern times and acts in movies, he can definitely come back with seventeen or eighteen little golden figures.

Hahahaha. Yuan Xianling laughed and stood up, lifted his hands up in the main book, and said, "Zhengqing has praised it, and it is too humble. You and I belong to colleagues, this master-apprentice relationship is really inappropriate. You and I have similar interests, and in the future, you and I will learn together in poetry. Zhengqing, the position of the county has been vacant, and a few days ago I thought about recommending you to Shangfeng for this position. With my recommendation, it should be fine. In the future, the affairs of the county will depend on Zhengqing and a lot of hard work. ”

Yu Zhushu almost knelt down for Yuan County, but this time he was really emotional. patted his chest and expressed his determination, as long as Yuan County's order was given in the future, he would never say anything to Zhengqing. Yuan Xianling patted Yu Zhushu's shoulder and smiled very proudly. Everyone stepped forward to toast and congratulate the main book. Yu was full of pride, and when he sat back in his seat, he picked up Yan Hui and whispered: "Big nephew, uncle has to thank you, you are uncle's lucky star." Come, big strong brother, let's have a drink. ”

Yuan County Ling is very proud today, and a song "Village House" is properly signed with his name. I believe that it won't be long before his Yuan Chong's talent and fame will spread all over Jizhou and Dayan. This is a thing that has been celebrated for the ages, and this honor can satisfy him more than being a county magistrate.

Yuan Xianling raised his glass and walked in front of Niu Shan and Niu Dazhuang.

"Uncle Niu, Niu Cunzheng, there is something to discuss with you in this county. Niu Tianci is young and courageous, wise and brave. This time he was able to crack a serious case in one fell swoop, and Niu Tianci made great contributions, and the county will meet the court to commend him in the future. This county saw that this cow was gifted and intelligent, and he couldn't bear to bury talents in the mountains and fields. Therefore, I plan to accept this son as an apprentice, I don't know if Niu Lao and Niu Village are right? ”

The eyes of the people next to him were red with envy. A good thing like being a disciple of the county order is as rare as gold falling from the sky. Everyone envied Niu Tianci's good life, and wondered what he had done to make the county order so important. They all exchanged heads, and even more, they asked Yuan County's followers about it, and then they understood what was going on. The eyes of everyone looking at Niu Tianci changed.

Niu Shan and Niu Dazhuang were speechless by this surprise, and they knew how to nod. Or ten thousand people are clever. Pulling Niu Dazhuang and said: "Brother Da Zhuang, hurry up and agree, this is a great thing, others can't ask for it." Lord County, my Niu brother is so happy, you see that he doesn't know how to speak. The county is not strange, the grass people are ready to deal with affairs, which makes me give my nephew a gift to worship you as a teacher. ”

Niu Shan and Niu Dazhuang reacted at this time, and they made a toast to Yuan County's order, and they were very busy. There is a way that is easy to add to the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Yu Zhushu understood that his blessing was brought by Lao Niu's family, and he had to consolidate the relationship at this time, so he took the initiative to ask to be a witness. In other words, he is the only one who has the qualifications to be a witness on this occasion.

Niu Tianci performed the apprenticeship in a proper manner, and officially worshiped Yuan Chong as a teacher. Everyone looked at the white and chubby little boy, pouting his ass and saluting, and they all liked it.

Niu Tianci respectfully offered tea to the teacher, and Yuan Chong took a symbolic sip. Touching Niu Tianci's head with a smile and instructing, what he said was nothing more than some words of encouragement such as being diligent and hardworking. Yu Zhu, who acted as a witness and master of ceremonies, asked Niu Tian to give tea to his wife. Niu Tianci knelt in front of Mrs. Yuan with a teacup.

"Master, please use tea." Hey, when is this girl going to sit on my wife's lap? Niu Tianci whispered at Yuan Yuannunu, "Sister, you can't sit there, come down quickly." ”

"No, I don't, I'm just sitting here." Yuan Yuan twisted her waist and shook her head, but she refused to leave. Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw it.

Mrs. Yuan took the teacup with a smile and took a sip, then pulled Niu Tianci to her side and said, "Tianci is good, my Yuan'er is a little naughty, you have to take care of her more in the future." ”

"Mother, Brother Tianci will be a member of our family from now on, right?"

Everyone couldn't hold it back, and they had to laugh at the little girl's words. Taking advantage of this, Niu Dazhuang said to Yuan County: "County Zun, the grass people plan to build a village after spring ploughing." When the village school is completed, we will have to trouble the county lord to help us find a few masters. ”

"This is a good thing, and the county will definitely support it. But I don't know where the cost of building a village school comes from? ”

"There are some public stalls in the village, and the big head is out of my house. In the future, the master's bond will be shared equally among each family, and the poor families will pay in the village, and it will be up to me to pay if it is really not possible. Niu Dazhuang patted his chest and said. This is a matter of showing his face, how can he not be proud, Yuan Xian Ling nodded with a smile in agreement.

"Oh, Dazhuang, how can such a righteous act be without my brother and me. My brother will give you two hundred taels of silver. "Thousands of people are rushing to perform. He can see that this Niu Tian has been given the eyes of the county order, and there will be a commendation from the imperial court. In the future, it must be easy to take a show or something, and the future is limitless, so we must get closer to each other at this time. Wan Yuanwai reminded the others of this, and everyone donated one after another, and some recommended themselves to be masters. After a cursory calculation, the village school of Woniu Village may become the largest village school in addition to the county school.

"Well, your good deeds deserve to be commended. On the day when the village school in Woniu Village is completed, the county will definitely go to cut the ribbon. The names of those who donor will also be engraved on the monument for future generations. Yuan County's words made everyone even more excited, and they told their names and pledges to the main book. A wine feast was over.

At the time of separation, Yuan Chong said to Niu Tianci: "Tianci, it is a good thing that you are brave and jealous of evil as a young man. But you are too angry, and if you are brave and ruthless, you may incur disaster in the future. I will give you a few enlightenment books for the teacher, and when you get home, you will first ask the nearby master for advice. If you don't understand something, you can come to the teacher's house. As a teacher, I will guide you carefully. These texts for enlightenment should be memorized by heart, and the meaning of them should be understood. Work hard, and wish you a brilliant future and a prosperous journey. ”

"Yes, the disciple must follow the teachings of the master."

Everyone said goodbye, and Wan Yuan quietly grabbed Niu Dazhuang and said: "Brother Dazhuang, my brother wants to build a courtyard in your village, and my brother wants to be a neighbor with you." Brother, you can help your brother plan. Niu Dazhuang saw his son nodding at him, so he happily agreed.

Yan Hui agreed that Wan Yuanwai had a useful intention to settle in Woniu Village, and he took a fancy to Wan Yuanwai's ability and his business channels. He knew that he would not be able to accumulate a lot of wealth quickly by relying on a small fight in Woniu Village alone. It can only be done with the help of businessmen, and Wan Yuanwai is the first partner.

A month later, the imperial court's commendation of Yanhui came down. Because Yan Hui was too young, this commendation fell on Niu Dazhuang. He was given the position of a sixth-class pavilion chief. To put it bluntly, he is a big village official, in charge of five villages, including Woniu Village. This position is not paid, but there is an official uniform issued by the government to wear. Although it is not in the stream, it is also considered an official and has some rights.

Niu Tianci got the reward of entering the county school without examination, which means that as long as he is not very stupid, he can go directly to the county school to study when he reaches the age. That's why everyone calls him Xiao Xiucai. In this way, the name and deeds of Niu Tianci gradually spread in Cangshan County. It can be said that Niu Tianci, as a disciple of Yuan County's order, has the name of young courage and perseverance, and he can basically walk sideways in Cangshan County.
