Chapter 23: Reflection
When Xu Liang heard that Feng Suqin wanted to help him speak, it was actually Feng Daolin, the former Jianchang Dian Shi, he looked at Feng Suqin in a daze, and his heart turned a thousand times.
Before coming to Jianchang to take office, Xu Liang listened carefully to Senator Huang's suggestions. Although Huang Weizhong did not clearly point out what he wanted to do. But the implication of the words is to ask Xu Liang to help make the original history Feng Daolin stink. Xu Liang has been thinking about these things these days.
Obviously, Huang Weizhong was instructed by the high-level to try his best to lead all the problems to the dead county and the history of the county after the arrival of the court, especially the original history Feng Daolin, according to the division of duties and powers, the history of a county itself does not have the right and obligation to mobilize troops and horses out of the county to meet the enemy, unless in this county, the county magistrate, the county Cheng, and the lord Bo are all killed in battle, and the history of the county, as the fourth in command of the county, can he personally lead the troops into battle. Then, when the magistrate of Jianchang County, the county magistrate, and the lord Bo were all alive, no matter what you say, it was not the turn of a county to be in charge of the history of sending and receiving official documents. However, Feng Daolin came out, not only came out, but also led his troops out of the county seat, but also fell into the ambush of the water bandits, and the whole army was annihilated.
What is there in this is something that is worth the interest of the court. Judging from Xu Liang's understanding these days, the Jiujiang branch guarded the road, the Jiangxi political envoy, the command envoy, the Jiangxi governor's yamen, and even the military department, all hoped that the big things would be turned into small things. The perfect result was that the local officials in Jianchang took all the blame. To put it more directly, it is to put the responsibility on the dead county and the canon.
After Xu Liang came to Jianchang, although his work was not smooth, especially the old qualified official house owner Gong Deyan and the household owner Qian Yi, he had a lot of complaints about his parachute into Jianchang County. And the text that the court is about to arrive in Jianchang has also arrived in Jianchang County. At this time, not to mention that he has just arrived in Jianchang County, his foundation is not stable, even if he has been an official in Jianchang for many years, his roots are deep and leafy, for the sake of safety, Xu Liang must not stand out for a dead classic history, and provoke a commotion in vain.
There is a way to know that the practitioner is a handsome man, and Xu Liang's experience in dealing with things in later generations tells him that it is the best policy to follow the trend.
However, if you don't die, Feng Daolin has a relationship with Feng Suqin, and Feng Suqin just asks for her head.
It's embarrassing, it's really embarrassing.
Feng Suqin saw Xu Liang standing there, her face was cloudy, her brows were furrowed for a while, her eyes were floating for a while, but she didn't say a word for a long time, and the glimmer of hope that had just been aroused gradually sank.
"Master Xu, what's wrong?" She asked nervously.
Xu Liang saw Feng Suqin's look of anticipation, and a trace of unbearability flashed on his face, but then he became resolute again, he welcomed Feng Suqin to the house and sat down, only then did he consider the words and said slowly: "Miss Feng, I just arrived in Jianchang County, and many situations are not very clear, I will definitely verify what you said." Seeing the disappointment on Feng Suqin's face, he hurriedly said, "But don't worry, once I verify it clearly, I will definitely intercede for you in front of the county lord." ”
Feng Suqin is a person, although she was a child, she didn't know the taste of the world, but in the past three or four years, she and her mother have been displaced, tasted the bitterness and warmth, and the words and deeds of others are the clearest, seeing that Xu Liang said sincerely, but the meaning of the words was very obvious, he was disheartened at the moment, smiled miserably, got up and said: "It's the people's daughter who is abrupt, Xu Gongzi is now a county classic, everything is sensitive, and he is far more thoughtful than the people's daughter, and the people's girl rashly gave Xu Gongzi such a big problem as soon as they met. It's mine, it's not. In this case, please take care of it. ”
After speaking, she bowed slightly, and then withdrew with a gloomy expression.
Xu Liang opened his mouth slightly, raised his hand to stop her, and finally put it down. Feng Suqin said in just one sentence, and his address to himself changed from Xu Gongzi to Xu Daren in a blink of an eye, and the disappointment and alienation in his words, how could he not hear it if he was a human being in two lives. Xu Liang was sad, but he was resolutely abnormal.
Seeing his beloved girl leave sadly, Xu Liang could only sigh. Since the crossing, after experiencing so many things, Xu Liang suddenly woke up, this world is the same as the world in the previous life, there are joys and pains, there are smooth sailing times, and there are also unsatisfactory difficulties.
Xu Liang was a thoughtful person in his previous life, and he was the best at judging the situation. To do anything, you must think about it in advance, what are the chances of success, and how big the loss is if you fail. As in the previous life, before the start-up of the chemical plant, a process risk analysis must be done before feeding, and the risk will be signed off before the start-up is within an acceptable range.
A few days ago, Xu Liang was so lost and hesitant after failing to seek an official position in Nanchang Mansion, Xinghualou fell ill overnight but had no money for treatment, and almost died in the inn. Every time he thought about it, Xu Liang was scared into a cold sweat. After this incident, Xu Liang found that he was still too impulsive to do things, and his foundation was still too shallow, just like a boat in the river, when the wind and waves were calm, he couldn't see it, and when the wind was surging, and when the big waves were surging, there was a chance that the boat would capsize.
Therefore, after Xu Liang got the approval of the Jiangxi Political Envoy, he secretly swore that before his strength was not grown, he would never go sideways and forcibly do things that were beyond his ability.
Xu Liang returned to his rented accommodation. The iron head reported a not-so-good news, and there was not enough silver. Xu Liang had a headache when he heard it, and after coming to Jianchang County as a pawn history, Xu Liang really understood how low the officials of the Ming Dynasty were. Take his unqualified and non-grade classic history as an example, the silver stipulated by the court is five stones of rice, that is, about 500 catties of grain, and if it is converted into cash, it will be a little more than one or two.
Xu Liang once again felt that his foundation was shallow. He thought about it and still couldn't think of any good way, so he asked Tietou at the moment: "Ah Tie, how much silver do we have on us?" ”
Tietou said: "Young master, plus some gifts from the scribes of several yamen when you took office, it will be twelve or three taels." ”
Xu Liang asked again: "Then how long can we use it?" ”
Tietou scratched his head, counted his fingers and said: "Young master, the monthly rent of our house is four dollars and four, according to this calculation, we can live here for three years without eating or drinking......
Xu Liang slapped his forehead, and secretly said that he really shouldn't ask him a fool.
At night, the sky is full of stars and a gentle breeze.
There was a knock on the door, Xu Liang opened the courtyard door and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss Feng? ”
Feng Suqin tightened her skirt and said, "Xu ...... My lord, the folk girl is visiting late at night, please ...... if you are disturbed."
Xu Liang interrupted: "Miss Feng, why should you and I be so polite, just call me Xu Liang." Come in. ”
Wait for Feng Suqin to sit in the house. Xu Liang said: "Miss Feng is here at this time, but is there something wrong?" ”
Feng Suqin looked at the small room, although it was quite clean, it was difficult to hide the old and shabby. It seems that although Xu Liang has become an official, his life is not good.
She couldn't help but feel nervous again when she thought about the purpose of her visit. She raised her eyes to look at Xu Liang and said nervously, "Xu ...... Liang, the ...... of the people's daughter"
Xu Liang glared and interrupted: "Miss Feng, you and I have known each other for a long time, and they can be regarded as friends, you call me Xu Liang, but you call yourself a people's girl, it sounds very weird." In this way, if you call me Xu Liang, I will call you Suqin. ”
Feng Suqin was stunned when she heard this, and secretly said that there was a man who called other girls by their names, but how could she hear him blurt out his name, but her heart was full of joy.
"Okay then." Feng Suqin blushed, and then said: "Xu Liang, there is a way that people die for the greatest, and for those who enter the earth, let alone for the children of people, if they don't bury their deceased parents well, wouldn't it be a great unfilial piety?" Su Qin came here today, or ask Xu Liang for you, for the sake of our acquaintance......"
Xu Liang stood up after hearing this, waved his hand and interrupted: "Suqin, you don't have to say it anymore, I know what you mean." He walked around the house twice, looked at Feng Suqin apologetically, and said sincerely: "Suqin, I won't say anything about it, Lord Feng, I really can't do anything about it." ”
"But ......"
"Suqin!" Xu Liang accentuated his tone, "Although I am now the official of Jianchang County, firstly, I have just taken office, and I have no connections or foundation at all, and secondly, this matter of Lord Feng was ordered by the Holy Majesty to be thoroughly investigated by the current saint, and the text of the Xing Department has already reached the county office, and others will never dare to interfere before the arrival of the investigation of the case." ”
"Is there no other way?" Feng Suqin heard Xu Liang say this, she was very smart, and she also understood that Xu Liang was telling the truth. I just thought of my uncle Feng Daolin, and I felt sad, and I sat there and shed tears.
Xu Liang felt a pain in his heart, stepped forward a few steps, held her two slender hands, and comforted her softly: "Suqin, don't worry, as soon as the Qin mission arrives, I will make up the Qin mission and return it to you as soon as possible, so that Lord Feng can settle down as soon as possible." ”
Feng Suqin listened, her heart was a little relieved, her hands were grabbed by Xu Liang, she blushed and struggled, feeling that Xu Liang held it tighter, and said writhingly: "That's it, Xu Liang, thank you, you, you can let go." ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Liang stretch out his hand and take Feng Suqin to his chest, so shocked that Feng Suqin screamed, her pretty face was hot, her eyes met Xu Liang, and she said, "You, what are you going to do?" ”
Xu Liang stared at Feng Suqin, stroked her long soft hair with his hand, and said affectionately: "Suqin, don't hide it, as soon as I saw you that day, I fell in love with you......"
Feng Suqin only felt that her heart was beating like a deer, and when she heard her sweetheart say it so bluntly, she was happy in her heart, and her panic and worry in the past few days were a little lighter, and she buried her head in Xu Liang's chest and said in a low voice: "Actually, Suqin, I can't forget you for a long time......"
Xu Liang was overjoyed in his heart, his hands were hugged tighter, only to feel that there were two soft balls tightly on his chest, his heart rippled, and he sniffed the unique fragrance of the girl on her body, and said softly: "When you left the Xu Mansion in one breath, I chased after you, but I didn't expect you, a weak woman, to walk so fast, and they didn't catch up." ”
Feng Suqin twisted her head, looked up at Xu Liang shyly, and said angrily: "Who made you talk about me like that!" I couldn't get angry, what if I didn't leave. ”
Xu Liang patted her lovingly and teased her: "What's wrong with me saying that?" Oh, people just saw that you looked good in your clothes, and they were kind enough to give you away, but they didn't know where to offend you again. ”
"You're just wrong!" Feng Suqin didn't comply, pinched her pink fist, and slapped him lightly, "At that time, I was down, but I could also support myself, who wants you to be an outsider to send this and that!" ”
Xu Liang laughed and said dotingly: "Okay, it's me who is wrong, and now I can't compensate you." Suqin is obedient, don't be angry. Ouch, what are you hitting me for? ”
Feng Suqin thrashed again, and said with a red face: "Who is your obedient?!" ”
