Chapter 26 is a hindrance
Cui Ling only learned about Wen Zhesang's identity early in the morning of the second day. Xie Yikou didn't catch her clothes last night, so she didn't see the clues, and when she got up early in the morning, she saw people who came and went either called Wen Zhesang "adult", or directly called her "county order". At this time, Cui Ling woke up like a dream.
But think about it, looking at Qingfeng County, there is the ability and means to save Sister Qiuhe, and she can still protect her safety, if you think about it, is it only this newly appointed female county magistrate? And when she was still in Shangfu, she heard that the county magistrate helped the private households to compete with the rich.
She also had a family in the past, but later her father and mother had to sell her to the Shang family for a living, so that she could have a bite to eat. But she still remembers that if it weren't for the Shang family's bullying and trickery to occupy her family's land, making her father a tenant, and later raising the rent...... How could she become a subordinate who lives by looking at people's faces? Her father and mother would not have been born, sick and dead, and she couldn't even see them for the last time.
Cui Ling blinked her sour eyes, didn't she regret what she had done? She pulled her clothes, hesitantly walked to Wen Zhesang, and said: "The slave maid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I don't know that you are the county commander, there was a lot of abruptness yesterday, and please forgive the slave and maid." ”
She was apprehensive in her heart, raised her head slightly, and saw Wen Zhesang's smiling eyes, "You are not a subordinate in the yamen, so you don't need to call yourself a 'slave'." Speaking of which, you helped me by mistake in Shangfu, and besides, you are Qiuhe's friend, no matter what, I can't watch you fall into Shang Nanjue's hands. ”
Cui Ling was used to listening to the commanding tone of the masters, and when Wen Zhisang spoke to her calmly at this time, she was even more embarrassed. "Yes, yes, I can help adults, it's a slave, it's Cuiling's blessing. I just don't know when Sister Qiuhe will come back, I want to ...... Meet her. ”
"In another decade or so." Wen Zhesang said, "I have asked Lu Zhi, in order not to implicate the innocent, he has already confessed to you, presumably Shang Nanjue is looking for you everywhere." However, he will not come to the yamen, and you can stay in peace, just to avoid extraneous complications and inconvenience. ”
"Yes, Cui Ling knows." She knew that she was stupid by nature, and she was not the material to use her brain. So she only listened, only did, and beside her, she didn't think about it.
Wen Zhesang saw that she was so honest, she felt a little distressed, she called Dongxue, and said to Cui Ling: "Although it is inconvenient to go out, but the yamen is not small, if you are bored, you can let Dongxue accompany you to walk around, scatter your heart, and relieve your boredom." ”
Dongxue also said: "That's right, I've been bored lately." There are few women in our yamen, and the adults are busy all day long, and there is no one to talk to me. You girl came just in time! Let's go, I'll show you around! ”
Cui Ling paused, then let go of her strength, and let Dongxue drag her to wander around.
The two of them drifted apart, and Xie Yikou walked to Wen Zhesang's side, "My lord, it's time to go out." ”
Wen Zhesang retracted her gaze and pressed her eyebrows, this early in the morning, she actually felt a little tired. Dealing with this mess in Qingfeng County is really a laborious matter.
"Let's go, go early and come back early. By the way, tell me about Lu Zhi, you didn't tell me in detail last time when you were secretly protecting Cui Ling, but now that he has arrived at the Yamen, I need to know his details. She said.
Xie Yikou nodded and followed, considered the words in his heart, deleted and deleted only the important information, and said, "My lord, Lu Zhihe...... He used to be a snitch, but he specialized in robbing the rich and helping the poor, and I met him in Pingshui and felt that there was a fate, so I became friends. He suddenly disappeared without a trace a few years ago, and I didn't expect to see him here again. ”
Wen Zhesang stepped out of the yamen, "Isn't he doing things for the Shang family now?" I'm afraid it's no longer a thief who robs the rich and helps the poor. ”
Xie Yikou's face changed for a moment, Wen Zhisang sighed, and said to himself: "I believe in the eyes of people, if he has any tricks to be held by the Shang family, for the sake of him saving Cui Ling and being able to stop the precipice in time, it is still worth helping." But the gentleman on the beam has broken the law after all, so you still persuade him to ......"
She used to frown when she thought, and there was an inscrutable sadness between her eyebrows. Xie Yikou inadvertently turned his head and saw it, and inexplicably wanted to help her smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows, but he was still sensible, afraid that if he really did that, he would become a disciple in Wen Zhesang's eyes!
Xie Yikou touched his nose and saw that there was a candy seller on the street, so he rushed over and scared the vendor down.
"You, you......" The peddler bit his tongue and couldn't hold back a word for a while.
Xie Yikou pointed to a candy man in a goose yellow skirt and asked him, "How to sell this?" ”
The peddler trembled and stretched out his hand to compare the numbers, Xie Yikou took out five copper plates for him, and returned to Wen Zhesang with a stick of a candy man, "My lord didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food this morning, and there is still some way to the school, so you can't go hungry." ”
Wen Zhisang felt novel, she didn't expect that she would receive such an unpretentious gift as a sugar man. She is the daughter of Shangshu, and she has been a playmate with the saint since she was a child, and she has received a lot of good things in the past. However, she is in this strange Qingfeng County, almost those valuable pearls and jade, silk and satin, she holds the sugar man, like a cloud on the edge of the sky.
"Thank you, that peddler is so skillful, so delicate." She smiled with a smile in her eyebrows.
Xie Yikou's heartstrings suddenly relaxed, this person is really not suitable for frowning, and he still looks good when he smiles.
Wen Zhesang is going to Taoli Academy today to meet with Master Zeng and Master Fang. Because Master Fang has been out of the mountain for half a month, the school still hasn't recruited the master next to him. She knew that there must be Master Wei's handiwork in this, but she had to make it clear in person after all.
Reading aloud circled in the Taoli School, and it turned out that the students were all studying hard after knowing that the school would not be suspended. There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant. In the past, the school could not be run, but these students could not see the future, so they naturally slacked off. Now that I can stabilize and study, I am full of enthusiasm and sincerity.
Zeng Fuzi is now on the back line, and after Fang Fuzi arrived, he pushed the affairs of the school to him. Although Master Fang was one head and two big, as soon as he saw that Master Zeng was coughing and chest tightness at every turn, he only felt that if he didn't take over these errands, he would inevitably feel guilty in his heart.
On this day, Master Fang was teaching, and Master Zeng was idle and personally made tea and waited for Wen Zhesang and the two. Just as he squinted and listened to the students reciting Mencius in their eager voices, the two stepped in against the warm spring breeze.
Zeng Fuzi welcomed the two of them in, and said straight to the point: "The old man is really ashamed, he didn't do anything he told the adult, so he could only ask the adult to run this trip himself." ”
Wen Zhesang: "Master, tell me the specific situation first, I am also curious why the gentlemen in the county are reluctant to come to the school to teach. "At the beginning, Master Zeng told her that as long as Master Fang was willing to come to the school, he would be able to move some of the gentlemen. But the current situation is really not optimistic.
Zeng Fuzi looked ashamed and said: "Alas, it's Mr. Wei, what kind of rich family school is he going to rebuild, he is highly respected, and those rich people are rich, so don't you attract a large number of people?" There are also some who have received the favor of Master Fang, but the other master feels guilty, although he did not cater to Mr. Wei, he did not dare to come to our school. There's really no way. ”
He is also forty-three out of forty, and he was once a face-to-face figure in Qingfeng County, but now he can't even do such a trivial thing. It's a shame to be old!
Wen Zhesang's expression was slightly stunned, what kind of rich school is not rich school, she didn't even hear any news. And that Master Wei insisted on proposing such a thing on the premise of knowing that she had the heart to run a school, which shows that he relied on the old and sold the old, and did not take her in his eyes at all.
She can tolerate the arrogance of an old man, but she can't let him play right and wrong under her nose.
She thought for a while and said, "Master Wei and the rich are both prosperous and loss-oriented. I didn't expect those rich people to be too busy to take care of themselves, and they still had the mind to participate in the affairs of Master Hewei. ”
Zeng Fuzi was ill and didn't inquire much about outside matters, so he hurriedly asked the reason for her words.
"My lord issued a notice half a month ago to support private households, and those rich families are having a headache." Xie Yikou sneered. "If you want me to say, why is the old man old or something, it is better to beat him with a sack. Or, I'll tie him up and see if he dares to make a wave. ”
Zeng Fuzi was dumbfounded, "This ...... This...... It's really unseemly! He glanced at Xie Yikou, who had a fierce face, and felt that this person had indeed done such a thing. Mr. Wei is dignified, and the students are all over Qingfeng County, this little brother's proposal is really not feasible. ”
Xie Yikou snorted coldly, if it was the past, he wouldn't have tied up the old man directly? Now that I've changed my identity, it's hard to do what I used to do.
"I wonder what the master thinks this matter should be handled?" Wen Zhesang threw the question to Zengfuzi.
Zeng Fuzi shook his head regretfully, "If the old man has a way, where will he bother the adult?" ”
"Since that's the case......," Wen Zhisang said coldly, "When the rich families fall, naturally no one will support Master Wei anymore." ”
Since the Taoli Academy left, Wen Zhesang did not go to find Master Wei. Xie Yikou saw that she was troubled, and couldn't help but want to tie up Master Wei. A lot of people are old, and they don't know what they're tossing.
"My lord! My lord! ”
On the way back to the Yamen, Jiang Weixi ran to him, panting and said, "My lord, something is wrong!" Today, an aunt in Shantang found a baby at the back door of Shantang, and she suspected that someone deliberately abandoned her parent, and she was waiting at Yamen! ”
Wen Zhesang asked him as he quickened his pace, "Have you found anything that can prove the identity of the baby in the place where the baby was found?" ”
"It's just a swaddling cloth embroidered with a longevity, and nothing else. I don't know when it was thrown in Shantang, but fortunately it was spring, and if it was a cold winter, the child would have frozen to death! ”
