Liu Mei put his hands on his head and squinted, "Girl, the sun is really big." ”

Wan Chaoyun, the sky, is going to start to heat again, I just hope that the rain in Lannan County is still so diligent.

The sun hung high in the sky like a fireball, giving off a dazzling light, and before noon, the light was already scorching, as if summer was coming early.

After greeting the old man, Wan Chaoyun, who was trained late, came out of the Wan Mansion and went straight to the county office.

As expected, when she walked to the gate of the county office, all the applicants came, and they were asked by Wangui to line up in four rows, standing on the steps of the county government and looking at it, everyone could see it at a glance.

Wan Che was standing on the steps at this time and was at the end, "Saying so much, this official just wants to express that Lannan County is everyone's home, and it is the responsibility and obligation of every Lannan County person to protect our home." ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded neatly, the voice was generous and powerful, full of vitality, and shouted out in unison, giving people a sense of shock, and inexplicably their blood boiled.

"Now the official has begun to roll call, and if the list of names stands on the right, it will be considered hired." He opened the booklet in his hand, his eyes shining.

Wan Chaoyun bypassed the team, ran to stand next to Wan Gui, swept her eyes, but found that the two catchers from Hexian were looking at her, she was busy raising her head and looking back generously.

Zhou Kang and Lou Mingyi didn't expect that there were girls who were not afraid of them, and they looked so presumptuous, and suddenly they were a little embarrassed, they glanced at each other, both withdrew their gaze, and stood like a stake.

"Uncle Gui, these two are the catchers sent by Lord Zhou?" Wan Chaoyun asked in a low voice.

"Well, the one on the left is called Zhou Kang, although he is also surnamed Zhou, but he is not a relative of Lord Zhou, and the other one is Lou Mingyi, both of them are from Hexian County." Wan Gui replied softly.

Lannan County has not yet conducted a new round of census, is it still according to the previous proportion of recruitment, eighty people will be set quickly, those who were not selected, all showed disappointed eyes, they really need this errand, but ...... The chosen ones are just as good, and they can't say anything unconvinced.

"Come, everybody come over here." Wan Gui raised his voice and said, "We collect thirty families from 10,000 families, and one tael of silver per month." ”

"One or two?!" Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly, "Really? ”

"Naturally, it is written clearly and clearly in black and white, eating and living in the owner's house, one or two per month, eight sets of four-season clothes, but you have to sell yourself to ten thousand families, if you are willing to sign up with me, we also have to pick people, not to accept when you come."

Those new catchers who were included in the yamen couldn't help but talk about it, "We only have ten taels a year, and we go to ten thousand homes for twelve taels a year, and we have food, shelter and clothing, which is equivalent to saying that we can save at least eleven taels a year." ”

Having said that, no one moved, after all, doing fast fishing in the yamen is also an errand, and you don't have to sell yourself when you leave home.

And those who were not selected all bowed their heads and thought, and some of the people they knew discussed with each other, "My father left early, and there are two younger brothers and a younger sister to support at home, and my mother's health has not been good these years, I need silver very much, can you go?" I'm going anyway. ”

"Your family is not happy, my family is not much better, the family has just been separated, my mother is not happy with my grandmother, only a small amount of family property, the eldest sister is about to say kiss, this is not a dowry, the husband's family will look down on me, I will also go, isn't it just selling my body? Anyway, I can't go to the imperial examination, twelve taels a year, thirty-six taels in three years. ”

It was chosen earlier, and Wan Chaoyun expected that someone would sign up, because they needed silver, which was a bit inferior, but this world is so cruel.

Naturally, there are also some people who are unwilling, they leave disappointed, and then devote themselves to other careers, no matter what they use to make a living, they can survive.

For example, the next logging, planting fruit trees, raising fish, making dried fruits, and making fish sauce all require people, and a large number of people.

It's just that outside of her, there are not so many people who have signed up, only twenty.

Wan Gui looked at the list and said, "Girl, there are not enough people, what's the matter?" ”

"Twenty is twenty, you take people to Qingzhou to raise the jurisdiction." Now she had a new concern, she was worried that these people would want to be soldiers after going to the Tizhi Division...... Then she will be busy in vain.

Wan Chaoyun looked at it, and happened to see Chen Zhu'er staring at herself with red eyes in the crowd, so frightened that she hurriedly folded her fan, blocked her face, pulled up her willow eyebrows and ran to the county office.

As soon as he entered the county office, he crashed into a not very generous embrace, the force of the collision was greater, both of them took a few steps back, the folding fan fell, Ma Qirui and Wan Chaoyun both showed surprised eyes.

"Miss Wan, have you met Miss Chen again?" Ma Qirui said funny, in fact, he was facing the door, and Chen Zhu'er stood at the front of the crowd outside the door, which was easy to identify.

Wan Chaoyun glanced back weakly, and immediately turned his head, and the spirit spirit shuddered, "Let's go, I'm afraid that if I don't leave, she will rush in and eat me." ”

"I'm looking for you." Ma Qirui said with a smile.

"What are you looking for me for?" Wan Chaoyun looked up at him, his cheeks like jade, with a shallow smile at this time, and his eyes were staring at him, looking at each other, which was sinking.

Fortunately, Wan Chaoyun was full of concentration, she retracted her gaze and stood farther away.

Ma Qirui found that he was out of shape, and he hurriedly retracted his gaze and looked away, he coughed twice to relieve the sudden embarrassment, "I'm leaving tomorrow, I remember that there is something to hide from you, after all, it's not appropriate, I still want you to know." ”

"What's the matter?" Wan Chaoyun asked curiously, could it be Chen Qian's rebirth?

"In fact, these days in Lannan County, my father and I drew a map of Lannan County, which was originally intended for your father, but I didn't give it." He looked at Wan Chaoyun with an embarrassed face, and his peach blossom eyes showed a cautious light, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hidden." ”

"It's okay, there are a lot of people who can figure it out." Wan Chaoyun was a little disappointed, she thought it was about Chen Qian.

"I know, it's disgraceful for me to do this, count me as a personal favor, and you can ask me for one thing in the future." He said very solemnly.

"Uh......" Wan Chaoyun heard it in a fog.

But the favor of Lord Shousuke in the future, don't be in vain, the pie fell all the day, she blinked her eyelids, "Really? ”

"Naturally, a manly man, it is difficult to chase a horse after a word." He said with a straight face, "In the future, no matter what my future holds, you can ask me for one thing." ”

The light came down from his head, and his facial features, which were as white as jade, were extremely distinct at this moment, and many years later, Wan Chaoyun couldn't help but smile brightly when he thought of today's young man.

"Okay." She laughed, showing her white and neat teeth, and her smile was clean and sweet, like the sun shining overhead at this moment.

Whenever he was upset in his heart, Ma Qirui would think of this smile, and then his heart suddenly brightened, like the sun hitting his heart, illuminating all the black.
