Chapter Eighty-Three: Crossing the Tang Dynasty and Taking Office
Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty is an ancient city that flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and was named Songzhou because it was overgrown with towering pines and cypresses.
As far as the eye can see, the blue city wall surrounds the ancient city, the city has low houses, many alleys, and the four main streets of east, west, south and north are wide and distinctly scattered throughout the city.
The ancient bridge, the babbling river under the bridge, the teahouse and rattan chairs by the river, the tall city gate in the distance, and the Cangshan mountain outside the city gate......
Yu Yan couldn't help but sigh, as far as her eyes could see, giving people a feeling of staggered time.
"Wife...... Oh no, lady, I feel like I'm going to go crazy. ”
"Why did you say that?"
"As far as you and my current conversation are concerned, it would be strange if this was put in the modern era and not make people laugh off their big teeth. ”
"Husband, have you ever thought about a question?"
"What's the problem?"
Yu Yan smiled shyly: "If we give birth to a child in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan and return to modern times, then how old is our child?"
"Uh......"
"Tell Xianggong that if we really have a child, back to the present, then our child will be at least 1,300 years old. ”
Fang Yu couldn't help but shout: "Ah, is it a thousand years old or a jing?"
She leaned over and whispered, "Do you want a little Chitose?"
He really hadn't thought about it. But what's the matter? He grinned, "I can fulfill the lady's wishes, I must study hard, work hard, work hard, and strive to harvest the fruits as soon as possible." ”
"I'll give you another chance, if you find that there is no gain, immediately drag it out and cut it!" As she spoke, Yu Yan learned from Bao Qingtian's appearance in the TV series and waved her hand, "Come on!
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, let the little ones try again......" As he spoke, Fang Yu suddenly pounced like a hungry tiger.
Yu Yan already knew his actions. She laughed coquettishly, turned around lightly, and said coquettishly: "Where did the wicked person come from, dare to violate the county lady, drag it out, and cut it again." ”
The two chased each other in the streets and alleys, frolicking, and laughing, such a strange scene attracted the curious eyes of passers-by. Playing, teasing, and turning, what made the two cry and laugh was that they were lost.
Dizzy, where is this county magistrate?
For those who are not familiar with life, here, they are almost dizzy. Songzhou, since ancient times, has been the distribution center of commerce and trade, people come and go, the river is endless, the streets and alleys, staggered and horizontal. Where is the county government, they don't know, others know.
"Hey, buddy, where is the county government going?"
Fang Yu inquired about the passers-by, but the passers-by rolled their eyes at the two, snorted, turned around and left. Yu Yan laughed out loud: "Husband, it's not like you to ask someone for directions." ”
"Rub, what's wrong with my words?
"This is in the Tang Dynasty!" Yu Yan smiled, grabbed an elder at random, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Zhangren, the younger generation is rude." ”
"What's the matter, ma'am?"
"May I ask my father-in-law, how do you get to the county magistrate's office?"
The elder pointed with his hand and replied at a very fast pace: "Turn left at the intersection ahead, turn right again, turn left at the first intersection, turn left at the second intersection, turn right at the third intersection, and then turn left at the end." There it is. ”
The two were stunned. We are not afraid of fast speech, but the problem is that he said with a thick dialect accent, and the two of them didn't understand it at all.
Just when the two of them were crying and laughing, they suddenly heard someone behind them panting and said, "Mingfu stops, please come with me." ”
The sound is so familiar. As soon as the two turned around, they saw Zhao Tiangong. Ha, how are you?
Zhao Tiangong gasped and said: "The villain was instructed by Niu Jinda, and he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for the Ming Mansion to take office at the beginning, so he ordered the villain to follow him. I never thought that Ming Fu and his wife were running so fast that the villain almost couldn't catch up. ”
"My brother is really careful. ”
While leading the way, Zhao Tiangong introduced that the yamen was divided into three areas, the front was the public hall for hearing cases, the middle was the office of the staff or attached officials, and the back was the inner hall, which was the residence of the government Yin. There is a back garden for the county to play in his leisure time. The staff and subordinate officials of the yamen did not live in the yamen.
When Fang Yu and Yu Yan stood in front of the government office with the "Songzhou County Office" hanging on it, they were immediately stunned by this majestic momentum.
Fang Yu stood solemnly, with a serious expression, and read out the couplet engraved on the pillar in a loud voice: "Deceiving others is like deceiving the sky, don't deceive yourself." ”
Yu Yan crossed her hands behind her back and read the next couplet in his tone: "Negative to the people is to bear the country, how to bear it." ”
Fang Yu waved his hand: "Heavenly Father, let's go in." ”
"Yes. Entering the lobby, Zhao Tiangong began to introduce:
In the middle of the lobby hangs the gold-lettered plaque of "Neixiang County Main Hall", under the plaque is the warm pavilion of the county trial, and the front of the pavilion stands a seawater screen, and hangs the gold-lettered plaque of "Mirror Hanging".
The three-foot law table is placed on the wooden high platform in the warm pavilion, the table is placed with the four treasures of the study room and the arrow barrel, and a Taishi chair is placed behind the table, which is the arrow frame on the left, and there is a black folding fan on the right. There are two bluestones on the left and right sides in front of the warm pavilion, the left is the plaintiff's seat, and the right is the defendant's seat.
The government sits in the north and faces south, with 98 houses, 3 gates, and 5 wide halls. There are meeting halls on both sides of the lobby, and there are two bungalows on the back side of the lobby, which are soap rooms. There are east and west flower halls on both sides of the three halls, which are the houses of dependents. After the three halls, there is a back garden.
Zhao Tiangong was like a tour guide, taking Fang Yu and Yu Yan on a tour from beginning to end, but he felt that the Songzhou County Office was large-scale, rigorous, deep and strict, and endlessly changing.
Yu Yan smiled and said, "Husband, we seem to be looking at the scenery." ”
Fang Yu nodded, he also felt strange, why didn't there be a single figure in this mansion?
Zhao Tiangong sighed and said, "The Ming Mansion doesn't know anything. Originally, the county magistrate's surname was Sun, and he was afraid of Songtsen Gampo's intimidation and threats, so he had fled elsewhere. ”
"What about the others?"
"The county orders have fled, what else can the others do? The emperor learned that Long Yan was furious, so he sent Niu Jinda to come. But I never thought that I met the Fang County Order. ”
"Get someone for me!" Fang Yu was furious.
"Mingfu, this ......"
"What's the difficulty?"
The officials were afraid of their sin and did not dare to return. ”
"It depends on your ability, as long as you work hard and behave as a man, I can play the emperor and ask him to canonize you as a county prince. ”
Zhao Tiangong was stunned for a moment, and then knelt on the ground with a "poof". You must know that the county Cheng is the assistant official of the county order, and his rank is the eighth grade, and he is also an official of the imperial court. Its responsibilities are to be in charge of the county's documents and files, warehouses, grain and horses, taxation, etc., and there is one person under the wardrobe to assist it in handling official business.
"Thank you for the promotion of the Ming Mansion! They concealed his identity as a meticulous worker, and it was only then that he was saved from death. Now, he has entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility......
With tears in his eyes, Zhao Tiangong kowtowed three times in a row, and only gave up until Fang Yu helped him up.
"Mingfu, go and get the people back immediately. ”
Fang Yu thought for a while, took out some broken silver from his arms, and said, "Everyone give some, quickly handle private affairs, and order them to go back to the mansion to do things on the same day." ”
"Yes. ”
Seeing Zhao Tiangong trotting all the way away, Yu Yan exclaimed: "Husband, don't tell me, this is our home!"
"Get a few slaves and maids to come back and wait, and this back garden is under your control. You can do whatever you like. The rest is under my control, and Madame is not allowed to meddle at will. Don't break the rules. ”
"Yes. Yu Yan made a gesture respectfully, causing Fang Yu to suddenly laugh.
"Husband, give me some money. ”
"Whatever, the back garden is yours. If you love it, you can raise it. ”
- What are you talking about?
Fang Yu thought about it for a while, and seemed to feel that it was inappropriate: "Wife, I think it's still inappropriate." How can there be monkeys in the back garden of the county order. ”
Faint!
Yu Yan pinched his nose and said angrily, "Husband, your English is too bad." I'm talking about money, I'm talking about monkeys. It's really. ”
"Oooh oh. Fang Yu laughed and took out five taels of gold, "Let the lady smile." Buy some furniture and clothes at will, buy a few slaves and maids, and make this place look decent. ”
"What do you mean by a decent pinch?"
"Stupid wife, buy an LCD TV, a computer, a root optical fiber, in this era, how to survive without a computer at night!"
Yu Yan was already laughing backwards. Only then did Fang Yu notice that he had made a mistake, he couldn't help coughing twice, and walked towards the lobby with his hands behind his back.
Yu Yan couldn't help but smile as she walked through again, remembering the role and location of each room, and then came to the lobby.
"What does Madame want?"
"Prime minister, please polish the ink, I want to write a job posting. ”
Fang Yu laughed.
"Xianggong is laughing at me, I can't write calligraphy?"
"I can't write, I don't know what about Madame?"
"You didn't force it out. Yu Yan said, "I remember that when I was fifteen years old, I already secretly liked you." But you want me to learn this, and that, and you want me to learn to play the guzheng and learn the languages of so many countries. Think about it at the beginning, I really loved and hated you, but now I think about it, but it will benefit you for life. ”
"Since the lady remembers me well, how can the lady thank me?" Fang Yu grinned.
Yu Yan said shyly: "Can I serve you well at night?"
"It's a deal. Fang Yu laughed.
I saw Yu Yan lift the brush and adjust her breathing, but she saw that she was beautiful and neat: the Songzhou County Bureau is now recruiting three maids, who are required to be sixteen years old, not out of the cabinet, with good character, enthusiasm, diligence, and good looks.
Fang Yu laughed: "No matter how you look at this job posting, it looks like a modern text, where is this Tang Dynasty written like this." ”
"No, no, no, people have to write. ”
"Then the lady will add another sentence. ”
"What's the pinch?"
"The annual labor and food silver is 3 taels, 3 cents, 3 cents and 9 cents. ”
"That's the money all year round? Why is this number pinched?"
"A groom is only 5 taels, 5 cents, 5 cents, 9 cents. How hard it is for a groom, it can't be more than a groom, right?"
"Did my brother tell you again?"
"yes. ”
Yu Yan nodded, and then added a sentence at the end of the article.
"Husband, I'm going shopping on the street!"
"Go early and come back early. ”
"Got it. She held the notice, went out of the mansion, and jumped up and down the street.
- This milk-milk-bear, it's a dream. A few days ago, I was still wandering around the Potala Palace to hunt for treasures, but today I became a county magistrate in Datang. Who will believe this?
How should this county order be made? He sat majestically on the Taishi's chair, slapped the wood in shock, and shouted: "Come on, this person has committed a heinous crime, and he is heinous, dragged out, and cut down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he burst out laughing. This official is enjoyable. The elder brother said that it was the sixth product. No matter how many officials it is, judge cases impartially, and are not afraid of power, he is a good official!
Even though it is only five months, then you must be a good official for these five months. Haha, the ancestor of the Fang family, called Fang Yu, is an official of the Tang Dynasty. Oh ha!
