Chapter 30: The Beginning of the Tenure (Part II)
"Who?" A slightly immature voice came from the room, trembling and obviously holding on to the courage to ask.
"But Xiao Jiang-kun? We are friends of Oe-kun! Wen Chou said comfortably.
"Friend, friend back then?" Jiang Xian said on guard. It's no wonder that Jiang Xian is cautious, because he also said that he was a friend of the eldest brother a few days ago, but he came here to insult and bully!
"Ah Xian, these should be Ah Ming's friends, don't you see them waiting outside the hospital for a while, and no one broke in? Alas, after reading for so many years, you don't invite people in quickly. An old voice came from inside the room, although it was a reprimand for Jiang Xian, it was full of kindness.
"However, my mother ......" Jiang Xian still wanted to defend himself.
"But what, why don't you hurry up and invite the distinguished guests in!" The old voice sounded again.
"Yes, Mother." Jiang Xian hurriedly got up and walked out of the door, only to hear a "clang" in the house, maybe Jiang Xian bumped into something in the house because he was nervous.
"Alas!" There was a long sigh of old age from inside the room.
"Squeak" Jiang Xian came to the door of the house and saw the group of people outside the courtyard clearly, but suddenly remembered: "Isn't it the newly appointed Youzhi Wenjun who is here, it is said that the eldest brother was killed in the thief camp with Wenjun!" Looking at the number of people, it was exactly eighteen. Just think about it! Thinking of this, Jiang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard gate and shouted: "But Wenjun." ”
"Exactly, I took the liberty to disturb him, but I became an uninvited villain!" Wen Chou saw a slightly handsome young man walking out of the house, who was about fourteen or five years old a year, wearing a well-fitting robe, and couldn't help but look at Yan Liang, Liu Zhong and others behind him and smiled.
"Wen Jun,...... Wenjun. This young man, hearing Wen Chou say this, wanted to say some kind words, but after all, he was still young, and most of them were studying hard at home, so he had little experience, and his face was flushed and he couldn't find the right words. I just hurried towards the courtyard gate.
"Alas, how can it be a villain, but it is Wenjun who came, and it is a sin that the people and I can't welcome it from afar." At this time, Jiang Mu put on a cane and went out of the doorway of the house.
"Yes, sins and sins, please come in!" Jiang Xian opened the fence door and stretched out his hand to please.
"Mother doesn't have to go out, I'll wait for it to pass!" Wen Chou saw Jiang Mu walking towards the courtyard, and smiled busily. He led the people to the courtyard.
"Wen Jun came to the cold house in person, but he came for my son Amin?" Jiang Mu stopped and asked.
"Jiang Mingjun went to the thief camp with me, but I couldn't bring it back that day, so I felt guilty and uneasy. Please accept my mother's worship! Wen Chou walked in front of Jiang Mu and bowed. Yan Liang, Liu Zhong and others bowed down when they saw Wen Chou, and they couldn't stand and bowed down one after another. Jiang Xian was on the side of the former Jiang mother, seeing this situation, how could he dare to accept Wen Chou's gift, but he couldn't hold it, and he was busy bowing down to Wen Chou. In a courtyard, except for Jiang Mu, who was still standing, everyone else was kneeling and worshipping.
"Alas, what are you doing? Do you want to torment the old woman and me? Don't hurry up yet! When Jiang Mu saw this situation, she pointed to the ground with crutches.
"Dajiang-kun, what a strong man, it should be like this!" Yan Liang said with a deep grin.
"If it weren't for Dajiang-kun, I don't know how many people would be trapped in the thief camp!" Liu Zhong recalled solemnly.
……
"Gentlemen, if you don't stand again, do you want the old woman to kneel?" Mother Jiang heard all kinds of things about Jiang Ming, and she drew the pain of losing her son! The people who could look down and bow down were quite proud of Jiang Ming.
"Mother, although Jiang Jun is gone, we are your son!" Wen Chou said in a deep voice.
"We are your son!" Everyone said in unison.
"I am very relieved to have you say this!" Jiang Mu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a hand towel and said.
"Come and sit down, Ah Xian will pour hot soup for the distinguished guests!" Mother Jiang turned around and walked towards the house.
Wen Chou, Yan Liang and the others entered the house, but they saw that although it was not a four-walled poverty, only a little furniture was neatly placed in the middle, and they were not very rich.
Mother Jiang found a mat, opened it and laid it down, and everyone knelt on it.
"Mother, are those the bounties sent by the governor?" Wen Chou saw that there was a bamboo basket in the hall, which was full of five baht coins, and asked.
"Well, it was sent by Captain Lieutenant in the morning, saying that it was a reward from the county. There are nearly 20,000 dollars! Jiang Mu said.
"Mother, how do you think you can use this money?"
"That's the money! I don't think about it anymore, I just count on Ah Xian to have a good future! Mother Jiang looked at the busy Jiang Xiandao.
"Mother, you are old, I don't see a maid at home, Brother Jiang was fine when he was here, but now I think it's inconvenient," Wen Chou frowned and said with concern.
"Alas, it's a poor family, and it's so exquisite. Besides, if a maid is hired, Ah Xian's cost of going to school will be gone. Jiang Mu sighed.
"Have you ever heard that the rewards in the county have not been distributed yet, although I don't know how many there are, but I think there are these!" Wen Chou asked.
"Oh, is there anything else like this, didn't the chief mention it?" Jiang Mu was surprised.
"Well, maybe when the reward is handed out, the lieutenant will send it to you." Wen Chou didn't do it, he wanted to laugh.
……
After chatting for about an hour, Wen Chou also learned about Jiang Ming's family and the basic situation here.
And some time ago, it was a no-brainer who came to insult the Jiang family! On weekdays, I was most afraid of Jiang Ming, but now that Jiang Ming is dead, I led a few splashes to find trouble, find faults, and show off my might!
"Mother, this is 5,000 yuan, although it is not much, but I will ask two maids to take care of your daily life!" Before leaving, Wen Chou took off a cloak from his horse and handed it to Jiang Xiandao. "If the money is short, someone can sue me!"
"Wenjun, what are you doing? My family has 20,000 yuan, which is enough, so take your money back quickly! Jiang Mu said solemnly.
"Oh, doesn't Grandma want Ah to show her popularity?" Wen Chou said: "Didn't I say it just now, if you talk about reading and learning, it is the best in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, which is thousands of miles away from here, and you need a lot of money!" Please accept it! ”
"Alas, but I'm bothering you Wenjun, if Ah Xian succeeds in what he has learned, he will come back to help you." Jiang Mu listened to Wen Chou's explanation, her eyes were opened, and her pursuit of nature was different, and Jiang Xian was also quite talented in reading. Those tens of thousands of dollars are not enough.
"Uh-huh, mother, Ah Xian go back!" Wen Chou and the others turned over and got on their horses and walked into the distance.
"Wen Chou, what have you done all these years?" Yan Liang Zema asked the ugly question.
"Didn't you do anything, didn't you worry about it for three years like you?" Wen Chou laughed.
"No, it's different, why do you know so much, from all over the world!" Yan Liang was even more suspicious.
"It's just that I read more books during the Ding Worry! There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book! Wen Chou smiled.
"There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book!" Yan Liang muttered in a low voice pondering Wen Chou's words, and couldn't help but walk slowly.
Wen Chou knows a lot, of course, this is not just Yan Liang's thoughts, everyone present was shocked by Wen Chou's talent, during the conversation with Jiang Mu and Jiang Xian, especially when discussing with Jiang Xian, who has read books for several years, there are many words of Wen Crepe, and Jiang Xian has solved a lot of academic problems that have plagued him for a long time!
Originally, Wen Chou didn't show how talented he was with them, but now when he talks to the reader, it is obvious! Moreover, most of them are rough people, they read very little, they are literate, and most of them only read some enlightenment "Urgent Articles" literacy textbooks, so they naturally feel that they are full of ugliness! If Jiang Cheng is here, I'm afraid it will be another emotion, that is, the difference in the way of thinking!
Wen Chou did not leave the Donglin Pavilion, but took out a roll of bamboo slips from a shawl on horseback, on which all the sacrificed personnel of the Donglin Pavilion were recorded!
"Let's go, go to the forest on the left!" Wen Chou looked at the bamboo slip road and took the lead to the left.
"Aren't you going to Yangli Pavilion to visit the Little Five Family?" Wen Ba asked.
"Not only that, Jiang Ming and Xiao Wu are heroes, and all those who have made sacrifices for the township deserve our respect!" Wen Chou said solemnly.
"As it should be!" They looked at each other. is even more respectful of Wen Chou.
In this way, Wen Chou and his entourage went door-to-door to search for the families of the dead and seriously injured. Depending on the situation, leave no money to spare! The most is six or seven thousand, and the least is one or two thousand.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon, and the search for the casualties belonging to the Beisi Pavilion had just been completed, and the 70,000 yuan brought by Wen Chou himself plus the 100,000 yuan brought by Yan Liang and others were only more than 10,000 left.
Wen Chou's move quickly spread all over Shahe Township! The people were amazed, and the displaced people who settled in Shahe Township also had a preliminary sense of belonging.
This is just the first step at the beginning of Wen Chou's tenure!
Wen Chou was about to return to the official temple in the township, but saw a horse flying in the distance.
"Wenjun, Wenjun, the county officials want to see you."
