Chapter 277: Don't seek to be an official and be a capable official
"This couplet is good for the instrument door, and the writing in the lobby is a little longer?" Wei Qing's main book has a lot of requirements.
Dugu Xinci thought about it and wrote a long couplet:
It is not honorable to gain an official, and it is not disgraceful to lose an official, not to say that an official is useless, and the place depends on an official;
Eat the people's food and wear the people's clothes, the people can be bullied, and they are also the people.
"This is just the right place to do the lobby"
Dugu Xinci also had a hard time paying attention to him, and continued to write about the second hall:
The law is reasonable and emotional, if it can be accepted in three words, there will be no injustice;
Qing must be diligent and cautious, it means that he does not need a penny, he is a good official.
After writing, Dugu Xinci wanted to rest.
"A certain person pours tea for the Ming Mansion, and the Ming Mansion has worked hard for the Ming Mansion, and you still have to make a plaque, and the Ming Mansion will also write a copy for the Yamen of the Ming Mansion?" Wei Qing's main book brought tea very dogged.
"Okay, you can climb the pole, so let's do it again."
The couplet that Dugu Xinci gave to Wei Qing in the main book is:
I came here because of the fate of the people
I have a clear conscience and do not despise the people
Wei Qing's master book praised it repeatedly, admired it for a while, and waited for Dugu Xinci to finish eating a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "If you hang this couplet, they will definitely envy it, uh, it's not good?" Dugu Mingfu can't favor one over the other, and write a pair for them? ”
"Hey, you're using so-and-so as a hard laborer? Okay, if you're idle, you'll have fun writing today," Dugu Xinci smiled as he pointed to his master book.
So, first write a picture to the land shrine:
The gate of the Son of Heaven is abundant every year;
The people of Huyan Tang are safe.
"It's too appropriate, Dugu Mingfu is so well written, the land god, as the master of the earth, is ranked among the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, that is, he can see the good and evil in the world, and he should abide by his own duties, and benefit the people of Li."
Dugu Mingfu ignored it and continued to write.
The couplet of the Yashen Shrine is:
Don't ask to be an official and be a competent official
May the people of Gongsi be good people
Yashen Temple, also known as the Hou Temple, is dedicated to the model Han of the capable officials, following the Han Dynasty founding saint Liu Bang who had been a minister in the county before Xiao He. This couplet shows the ambition of some capable ministers: not to waste the false name of a virtuous and good official, but to be a good person like ordinary people.
Dugu Xinci wrote the couplets of the second hall again:
For politics, you don't have to talk too much, you have to rest, and you have to come out of self-denial;
When the government is in charge, everything is related to the people's livelihood and the national economy
The couplet to the county hall is:
Stand on your heels and erect your back;
Expand your eyes and be at ease
"Dugu Mingfu is a bit perfunctory? I don't know if Du Juan County Cheng and Wen Guyan County are not satisfied? Wei Qing said with a smile.
"Du Juan has put down the poetry book these days, and he is not satisfied with letting him write it himself"
Dugu Xinci ignored it and continued to write:
There is no reason for the law to be practiced;
Reward is only severe, punishment is light.
"This is for the Military Department? Nice, nice"
To do things, don't make trouble, you have to complain, don't complain;
It can be prosperous, but not near, but it can be urgent, and it is not happy
"This is for the county lieutenant's office? Dugu Mingfu is really well written, and the instructions are good? If they want to do things, Mo Shengshi warned them to do things in a down-to-earth manner, not to make trouble out of nothing, and to make some crooked ways; They should be reluctant to complain, and they should not be exhorted to work hard, stand the test, always and everywhere for the sake of the people, and never cause resentment among the people. If they can make profits, they can not be close to profits, they can be anxious for success, and they are not happy about success, so they are required to promote benefits and eliminate disadvantages, but they should not be overjoyed, and they should not be quick to achieve quick benefits. ”
"Where else do you want to hang?" Dugu Xinci didn't bother to pay attention to it and asked casually.
"There is also a deputy hanging at the gate of the county jail, right?"
So the couplet from the county jail also came out:
Those who violate the law deserve it;
I have gone astray
"There's also a pair hanging at the door of the sixth room, right? And the door of the account room must not be bare, and the civil affairs department must also have a pair"
Dugu Xinci is really good-tempered today, so I will write a few more.
At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Department are:
What does it mean to be a good officer? It is enough to avoid the curses of the people;
What is good governance? It's hard to just ask for justice in prison.
East Accounts:
Honesty does not speak of poverty, diligence does not speak of hardship;
Respect what they hear, and do what they know.
Western Ledger Real Estate Union:
A little bit of a hair, a certain name festival;
Every centimeter is the fat of the people.
Cao Fanglian:
Elect officials and promote officials to be virtuous;
Evaluate the performance of the government and balance it cleanly.
Hucao Housing Union:
The household is diligent and cautious;
Taxation and wealth are also equal.
Gongcao Housing Union:
dove workers and materials are finely built;
The passage is opened and the ditch is carefully cultivated.
Criminal Cao Housing Union:
Sentencing according to the law is reasonable;
Punish crimes in accordance with the law and disregard personal feelings.
Licao Housing Union:
Advancing and retreating with one heart is strict, which is the righteous way of etiquette
The article is a common fruit through the ages, who can enter the room and ascend to the church
Bingcao Housing Union:
The horse does not leave the saddle, the body does not unarmour, and the pillow is to defend the country;
The gas can be swallowed, the potential can be discharged, and the Jingbian guards the land to protect the family.
"Dugu Mingfu is really full of thoughts? It's all Jialian" Wei Qing's main book has a basket of good words, and Dugu Xinci wants to write a picture of his flower hall:
I just wish there were few errands in the hall
But there are many good people in the world
"Ugh. Dugu Mingfu's wish is really big? Wei Qing didn't know whether to praise or derogatory.
"One from this backyard too?" Dugu Xinci asked.
"Required"
So Dugu Xinci wrote to the door of the back house:
There is spare time in the busy, climbing the mountain and water;
There are no long things outside the body, cloth clothes, vegetables, food, piano books.
"It's so literate, this is the life you want"
Dugu is kind and slanderous: I know that you are the most leisurely.
Finally, write a couplet from this study:
Don't be shocked to see the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court;
Go and stay without intentionally looking at the clouds in the sky.
"Dugu Mingfu, this is a joint speech? Favor and humiliation are not frightened, and only the Ming Mansion can do it, and they are all mortals, so they can only think about it" There is no trace of Wei Qing's flattery.
"Okay, the couplet is written here, so-and-so's arms are sour, what do you have for lunch? You can't drink alcohol, you have to get something delicious, right? Dugu Xinci threw the pen back into the chair and picked up the teacup.
"Why don't you go to the Star Picking Tower and order a table for the Ming Mansion?" Wei Qing also replied with a smile, I am going to have a full stomach today.
"They're also busy now, so let's clean it up by ourselves, by the way, dog, Xiaoya said what do you want to eat?" Dugu Xinci asked again to send the dog who came back early to Shengpingfang.
"Professor Nalan said casually," the dog replied in a muffled voice.
"Okay, just wait for it, go buy some ingredients and come back, see that the kitchen here is complete," Dugu Xinci ordered.
Ah Gou put away the wood and went to search for ingredients, Wei Qing saw that it was too early for noon, so he went back to the main book hall to wander around, and Dugu Xinci closed his eyes and lay on the chair to pretend to sleep.
At noon, Dugu Xinci was still busy in the kitchen, and just instructed Ah Gou to send food to the Empress Nalan of the Shengdao Workshop, and the people from the Far East Furniture Workshop sent the bookcase over.
Far Eastern Home Furnishing Square is naturally opened by Far Easterners, and it is also the business of Far Eastern Commercial Bank, and it has always been Prime Minister Xie Xiaotian, who naturally understands the temperament of the Demon Wolf Tianxing, and the things sent are simple and generous.
A large bookcase table is about one zhang long, three feet wide, four feet high, made of sandalwood, varnish, dark red and simple, cirrus cloud desks on both sides, and the supporting legs have hollow grids, such a large bookcase looks like a shock.
Five straight-shaped brain, horizontal backrest type circle chairs, Dugu Xinci called it the Taishi chair, the back panel is slightly tilted back, the seat is wide, the legs and feet are high, the shape is concise, upright, intriguing, meticulous and precise, comfortable to feel, three-section partition decoration, the upper section of the basal carved moire; The middle section is the main decorative part, carved with a delicate landscape map; The lower section is engraved with ruyi patterns, and the bottom is carved with bright feet and air, so that the originally heavy and strong Taishi chair has a line of ethereal vision in the eye. The handrail is also made of mortise and tenon lattice, a curved line to form a pattern of yin and yang, rigidity and softness, and the handrail is on the pattern, very ingenious. There are four sides of the waist under the head of the seat of the chair, and the shoulders are slopped, so that the whole chair has clear lines. These Taishi chairs do not have coupon mouths, tooth plates, tooth corners and other decorations, shallow carving of fine cirrus clouds and grass patterns at the shoulders under the girdle, these patterns outlined by the yang line, such as Liangzhu jade carving, delicate and delicate, and the solemn shape of the Taishi chair in contrast, there is a delicate atmosphere in the atmosphere, which enriches the visual beauty.
Nearly these five Taishi chairs made Wei Qing look greedy.
"It's not expensive, it's only twenty times, Wei Qing's main book can buy a set, and let them give you eight folds" Dugu Xinci is also generous.
"A handful of twenty runs? Isn't it going to be a hundred for five? I can't afford it, well, can it be cheaper? Wei Qing shook his head and sighed.
"It's really stingy, okay, if you want to buy it for you, it's 50% off."
"Then thank you Mingfu, these two are placed here, and the case in the middle is put away" Wei Qing helped instruct people to place things.
Five Taishi chairs were set up, four were placed left and right in front of the case, and one was placed behind the bookcase for the master of Dugu Xinci.
Far Eastern Group Home Furnishing Square also sent a set of bookcase supplies, all of which are simple and heavy.
There are boxwood carving pine shaped pen holder, bucket color entwined branches and lotus pattern washing, boxwood carving pen licking, agarwood round carving ape pen grid, purple sand carving "Liansheng Joy" water bowl, red sandalwood copper carved landscape ink bed, red landscape character printing box, Tianhuang stone carving strange beast book paperweight.
Seeing Wei Qing's main book, he sighed, and said good things, good things, good things.
Looking at the rice paper brought in by a few people, and the various brushes and inkstones carried by one person with a burden, Wei Qing's eyes were even greener.
"I'm afraid this set is more than a thousand times, right?" Lord Wei Qing asked timidly.
"Chikan? It's only enough to buy tables and chairs," Dugu Xinci disagreed.
"Anything else?" Wei Qing asked, these five Taishi chairs are more than 100 times, and the big case and the two high ones will not exceed 100 times, right?
Sure enough, another group of men in Tsing Yi came over with a small bookcase, and Dugu Xinci ordered it to be placed under the corridor outside the flower hall, this bookcase was also exquisite, and then there were a few chairs, and two reclining chairs.
This is a bamboo chaise longue, soaked in clear water for a few years, the color turns sandalwood, and then simmered, polished smooth and rounded.
Wei Qing lay down, the recliner was very wide and comfortable, as warm as jade.
"There is a chair, lying on it leisurely, a fragrant tea, the gods do not change" Wei Qing closed his eyes and sighed, almost groaning.
"This kind of recliner is called a leisure chair," Dugu Xinci said angrily, he hadn't laid down yet? Actually let this old master take the lead, think about it and then instruct, "This chair is lying down, you can lie down, that chaise longue can you lie down again?" That's for some."
"Okay" Wei Qing sneered in his heart, this Dugu Ming Mansion still has a habit of cleanliness?
Wei Qing looked at the table again, and also found something extraordinary, the table top was actually made of wood-grain marble, no wonder how many people needed to carry it in?
After some rectification, Dugu clapped his hands with satisfaction, took out two gold leaves, and threw them to the leader, "Take it and get some food for the brothers"
"Thank you, Boss Tianxing, I will leave first" The leader is also from the Far East, so naturally he will not be polite.
"Shall we go to lunch too? Comfortable can't fill your stomach, if you think this free chair is agreeable, you can buy one? It's not expensive, just a few dozen times in general? ”
"Just twenty or so? So cheap? ”
"Of course it's not like this, you can move a handful of this kind of you can give two hundred guan"
"Oh, what's the difference between the twenty runs?"
"This one is made of Nanzhu"
"I know that it is made of Nanzhu, isn't there one in the courtyard of the Ming Mansion?"
"So-and-so is the south of the south, and so-and-so Nanzhu is from Wuyi Mountain, Fuzhou"
"From Wuyi Mountain, Fuzhou? How many bamboos were transported from that far away? ”
"Do you say that the free chair is worth two hundred times?"
"I'm afraid that the freight is worth two hundred" Wei Qing really didn't understand the business experience of his Ming Mansion, as long as this kind of free chair appeared on the market, someone would definitely be able to figure out how to do it, and this was not a complicated thing?
Wei Qing had the idea of imitation just now, he was proficient in carpentry, this kind of free chair is just a novel style, and the process of making it is not complicated, but thinking that this is the business of his Ming Mansion, imitation is not a gentleman's doing.
"Okay, if you can't even get those twenty runs, then it's not difficult to do it yourself?"
"Isn't that okay?" Wei Qing was a little embarrassed.
"What's bad? It doesn't hurt for you to open a workshop to make this kind of free chair yourself, your craftsmanship is still good."
"Isn't this robbing the business of Far Eastern Home Furnishing Workshop?" Wei Qing was puzzled.
"Far East Home Furnishing Square only makes more than 100 pieces of furniture, if you use the bamboo on the South Mountain, counting the freight, a free chair is only about the same cost, you sell a package of ten or twenty times is in short supply."
"Eh, is Ming Fu serious?"
"Nonsense, don't be serious, can you be full of food?"
"So really think about how to do this business?" Wei Qing said tentatively.
"You go and prepare, if you are tight, there is a county party in the county party, and you don't want to take advantage of the county party?"
"Well, you need to think about it, you have never done business."
"You look down on merchants?"
"How so? On weekdays, sometimes people will receive some money for doing something, this is also a businessman's business, right? ”
"Oh, thou art half"
The two chatted and came to the back kitchen, and saw that someone had already started to eat.
"Mrs. Qiu is really elusive? When did you come? ”
"A certain person came with the person who sent the free chair, and sent that kind of chair to Yiqiu Palace" Although Taigong Qiu has to be as white as snow, his teeth are actually very good, and he is happy to eat chicken and chew it.
"What's enough? It has been sent over, three, Dugu Jialuo brought someone to send it in the morning, one of them is specially made for you, how do you not know? ”
"Oh, I haven't returned to the palace yet" Taigong Qiu didn't bother to tell the ghost-like Far Eastern Hou that he had stayed in Xuanyang Fang all morning, but he didn't see if this Far Eastern Hou really obeyed the order and grounded.
"Okay, won't you tell Lafayette that you've been lazy all morning today, so why don't you drink some cold drinks? It's a little hot on this day, so it's a bit hot," Dugu Xinci took out a porcelain bottle from a wooden box.
"Plum wine?"
"It's an ice drink with green plums, and it doesn't smell like alcohol."
"It's really, it's boring, it's not as good as plum wine"
"Let's go back to the county king's mansion in the evening, and have a few drinks with the princess"
"I'll go back to the palace after a certain meeting, you be honest, you'll be running around"
"Where can so-and-so run? You see that so-and-so is so comfortable here, and on such a hot day, why don't so-and-so go out and suffer? ”
"I believe you in this, you definitely don't want to cheapen others if you make this kennel into a golden nest"
"Or too public to understand so-and-so"
Do not seek to be an official and be a capable official, but wish the people of Gongsi to be good people.
