Chapter 278: Swagger
said earlier that because Jiang Xihu sent Li Jicai over, he was not very ostentatious, so that others did not attach great importance to Li Jicai, and even had a contemptuous attitude.
After all, a woman came over and said that she wanted to be an official, if it wasn't for the boredom of the nobles of the high-ranking family, how could she come over.
The matter in Liangzhou is not very common in most areas of Chu State, so they don't know much about it, and what they know is only a few words, not in their own area, and no one cares too much, after all, the disaster has not befallen their heads.
Most of the people, including the Bird's Tongue, were so close to the capital that they didn't care.
Emperor Gao De was not the pro-named Li Jicai, but let his ministers arrange it, so that his popularity was even lower.
Gao Tianlei, the county magistrate with a bird's tongue, still has some scruples about arranging a peasant official under his hands.
He is a careful and careful person in everything, and after learning about this matter, he immediately checked up and down, sent people to inquire about the news, to see what the top meant, whether he had any opinions on him, and arranged for someone to supervise him.
At the age of thirty, he was an official at the age of fifty, and he worked hard all the way to become a small county master, and it was not easy, and the next few years were related to his promotion, Gao Tianlei was naturally extremely nervous, lest in addition to what was wrong, what little tail was caught, and what kind of little tail was caught, so that the achievements made in the past few years would be in vain, and it would be a huge loss.
It's a pity that Rao is Gao Tianlei spent a lot of silver, but nothing was found, which made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't eat or sleep well for several days, and his hair fell out a lot, and he was very uncomfortable. I just want to wait for this female peasant official to arrive, and then I will see the opportunity to act, and the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it.
Gao Tianlei didn't dare to show too obvious flattery, but he didn't dare to despise it too much, and when they came, Gao Tianlei had already secretly sent people to squat, squatting on the other party's whereabouts, and the traces of the activities of the bird's tongue.
The tongues are not big, and they can't go anywhere.
There are still a bunch of people who follow Li Jicai, and there are quite a few of them. Came to the government to contact Gao Tianlei is a person called Qian Steward, it is said that this Qian Steward is not small, Gao Tianlei received him very carefully, listening to the other party's meaning to build a new house in the rural area in the suburbs, and give them a young lady to live in.
Building a house when you first arrived? It's a bit of a hubble.
Gao Tianlei himself didn't know much about the house in that farming area, and he only sent someone to learn a little bit about it before, but he didn't know what the house had broken down into.
But even if Gao Tianlei muttered a little in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face, after all, he was from the capital, where did he have the qualifications to work against others in a small place, and show his face?
After all, the main lord hasn't shown up yet, has he?
When the lord comes to see him, the county master, then it's easy to say anything. After all, what a shameless woman doesn't know yet!
In Gao Tianlei's eyes, it is not good for a woman to stay at home to support her parents and teach her husband and children. It's definitely not a good thing to come out and mix with men. This preconceived impression also made Gao Tianlei's heart a little more impatient.
However, Lee didn't know anything about it.
Under the arrangement of her entourage, she came to the town of Sparrow's Tongue, and then checked into an inn. The follow-up things may have to be discussed again, after all, breaking ground to build a house is not a matter of one or two days, although I believe in the strength of the money housekeeper, but there are some things she can't leave alone.
After coming to the tongue, the biggest feeling for Li Jicai was one word, "old".
Roads, houses, bridges, and other facilities all exude a rusty feel, as if they have lived for many years, but have not been renovated or torn down and rebuilt.
The old one makes people unconsciously feel a sense of lifelessness, even though it's spring, but still can't feel where it is full of life, as if it is always like this all year round.
Li Jicai didn't like it very much, the place lacked vitality, although the people seemed to be content with a quiet life, there was no turmoil, and nothing major happened.
But it is this feeling of quiet years that makes Li Jicai have a sense of crisis that is about to move, as if as long as he tears off this calm skin, he can see the dark and rotten things below, or maybe it is because the appearance is so beautiful that Li Jicai has dark thoughts in his heart, which is really strange.
Compared to the prosperity of the capital, there is not much to visit here, and the scenic suburbs along the way are much better than the towns, and Li Jicai may also prefer some rural places.
I came here to be a peasant official, yes, to be a peasant official should be honest, close to life, close to the people. Then take them on the path to making a fortune. As for how to make a fortune when the time comes, it will be carefully considered.
Three days later, Biyu and Biluo came to Bird's Tongue to find Li Jicai, Jiang Xihu originally planned to let his two maids stay by Li Jicai's side, help take care of her life, and at the same time play a role of surveillance.
Li Jicai's performance has always made Jiang Xihu very satisfied, and she really did the performance of resolutely standing on his side, which made Jiang Xihu feel a lot more relieved.
Before Biyu and Biluo left, Jiang Xihu also instructed Li Jicai to report any special changes in time, so that Jiang Xihu could deal with them in time.
For Jiang Xihu, Li Jicai is both a friend and a pawn. It was a hand he deliberately buried, and it was already the limit to be able to save Li Jicai from Su Qing's hands at that time, and even they almost fell out. This is something Jiang Xihu didn't expect, but he doesn't regret it, after all, Li Jicai wants to know that it still brings him a lot of benefits, which cannot be erased.
If she can do something between that small side of heaven and earth, she will be considered to have real skills, rather than simply relying on heaven to harvest it, and be lucky. In this way, her value will be even more enhanced.
What the future holds, who knows?
Biyu and Biluo have prepared a lot of new clothes, afraid that they can't buy comfortable materials in this place, ready-made clothes Li Jicai has a quirk, he doesn't like to wear them very much, and Li Jicai likes those clothes that are simple and very rough to work. But this looks like it's not as good as a rough maid, Jasper can see it clearly, if Li Jicai takes care of it carefully, she can still get on the table, but she doesn't like it, so she doesn't force it.
It was early in the morning.
"Miss, it's time for you to get up, the sun is shining on your buttocks, although you say that you are sleepy in spring, but you can't really sleep until this time." Bi Luo took a basin of hot water, pushed open the door and walked in, and found that Li Jicai was still lying on the bed, so she couldn't help but persuade her with good words.
Now that he's an official, he can't be casual anymore, and it's not good for some people to read jokes for no reason.
"Five minutes, five minutes! Get five more minutes of sleep! Li Jicai said vaguely locked in the cabinet, her eyes were still closed, her head was very heavy, and she was so sleepy.
The sleep in the spring is the easiest to sleep, no, no, no, not only in the spring, but also in the spring, summer, autumn and winter.
"What's five minutes? Miss, Miss has already agreed today, I will go in the morning, and the official yamen will go to see the county lord who has seen the tongue. Miss, have you forgotten? This is the first time. ”
"Nothing, nothing, I said nonsense. Ah, when did I not remember? Li Jicai forcefully uncovered a corner of the quilt, and then revealed a head.
"What do you remember? My sister asked me to call you, Miss, you better get up quickly, if it's too late, my sister will scold me again. ”
Bi Luo stretched out her hand and put the basin aside, then looked at Li Jicai on the bed with her hands on her hips, and continued.
"Ouch, no, how could she scold you, rely on it for a while, rely on it for a while."
"The slave can't call Miss, then, then I'll go and invite my sister."
Li Jicai had no choice but to resign himself to lifting the quilt, and then reluctantly got up.
In fact, he wasn't afraid that Biyu would discipline him, but he just didn't like Biyu staring at her and telling her a bunch of truths, and then urging her to do something.
Sometimes Biyu is like that Tang monk, the thief will chant the scriptures, chattering endlessly, and she is a very serious person.
"That's right, miss, get up quickly." Bi Luo saw that her sister who had moved out was useful, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
Sure enough, she is still her own sister, and now she can cure Miss, but if she changes to others, she probably won't be able to take her.
Unlike ordinary women, this young lady of theirs likes to sleep lazily the most, and she also likes to be lazy the most, but when she usually goes to do things seriously, she seems shrewd and capable, and she is very wise.
"Who is the county lord of the bird's tongue?" Taking the handkerchief handed over by Bi Luo, Li Jicai asked curiously.
"The slave maid is not very clear, but I heard my sister say that it seems that the surname of this county master is Gao, and he has been an official here for many years."
"Is it a nice person to get along with? If it's not a good person to get along with, then forget it. ”
Li Jicai doesn't know anything about being an official, these days it is Jasper who is forcibly making up for her, and many things are handled by Jasper without him coming forward.
For the first time in a long time, Li Jicai has the feeling of being a vase.
Sure enough, everyone loves privileges, and if there is privilege, whoever is unhappy and who is uncomfortable, you can like this and that, and do whatever you want. Alas, it's better to walk on the peak of life and be comfortable!
In the past, Li Jicai could not understand what it was like to be born in Rome, and the person born with a golden spoon was different from the person who was born 108,000 miles away from Rome.
It is estimated that after being immersed in officialdom for a long time, will Li Jicai give birth to those dirty thoughts, what dislikes the poor and loves the rich, what money worship, what messy and corrupt thoughts, then she will be bad to the bone from beginning to end.
