Chapter Fifty-Eight: Entering the Government for the First Time

The steps at the door are relatively high, and the higher the steps at the door, those little ghosts, unjust souls, and so on, can't climb up.

These are customs.

Li Jicai carried the burden as if he was breaking in, but he was stopped by others, saying that he would not be allowed to enter, Li Jicai thought about it, maybe his appearance was not up to par, and he picked a flat burden in his hand.

So she put down the flat shoulder and put it next to the two majestic white stone lions on the left and right in front of the official mansion, and placed it at the feet of the officers and soldiers.

No one should steal it, right?

Then she straightened out her clothes, and then she wanted to beat the drum, and there was a drum at the end of the line, and she watched TV and asked everyone to go up and knock it directly, saying that she had an unjust case.

But she doesn't have a specific person to sue, I don't know if the government will accept it at that time, this in modern times she has never even been to the court, and she has not gone through any formal procedures.

I know that if you want to report the case at the beginning, you first have to write an application, make a record, and then people decide whether to file a case, which is probably the case in ancient times.

But before she could get close to the drum waiting, she was stopped by a man dressed in red and black, who was not an officer or soldier.

Li Jicai considered that he might be a staff member in the government, yes, a staff member.

The staff stopped Li Jicai, and then asked her what she was doing, it was the lunch break, and the county master was not in the front hall now, but resting in the back.

Does she know the rules when she beats the drum?

Li Jicai immediately made a low and small appearance, and then showed that she really didn't understand anything when she came to declare customs for the first time, and asked the official to take care of it, and then she explained her intention, saying that her mother-in-law and old lady were hit by a carriage.

There are a lot of matters left that have not been dealt with, and the old lady does not know whether this will has been explained, and whether the person who hit the old lady has been found and some trivial things.

But the man in black and red clothes waved his hand impatiently and said that these things should be handed over to the clerk, that is, let her go in through a side door next to her, and then go to the person who is in charge of this kind of affairs and ask the clerk.

Li Jicai nodded, and then wanted to rush to the side door, and then the man in black and red clothes was full of energy. was so frightened that Li Jicai was stunned.

He said, "Wait! Didn't I tell you? It's time for a lunch break, so you can't be presumptuous here, saying that you want to go in and find it, and come back when the time comes. ”

Li Jicai showed a sincere look of fear, and then asked when it was?

The man in the black and red clothes seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his patience was completely gone, so he coldly lost his afternoon, and then left without looking back.

She left the direction of the official mansion, not to the official mansion, so Li Jicai thought that he was also off work, so he said so.

These people on duty at the gate, have these officers and soldiers eaten?

Li Jicai's first reaction was to talk to others, that is, to be close to others.

Have you eaten yet? But this question is so abrupt.

What if someone eats it? What's next?

If you haven't eaten it. Wouldn't that be embarrassing, she can't get anything to eat here.

She hadn't cooked for a long time, after Mrs. Fan passed away.

Just after the first seven days, the family has no intention of living, cooking, so I just started the fire this morning and made a little porridge.

Since it's afternoon, then she will go back first, cook some food, and then come back to the government mansion in the afternoon to run errands. Li Jicai didn't know what to do, so he went home and picked up the rest of the vegetables, and then cut a little of the bacon hanging on the wall to make bacon and plum vegetables stewed rice.

The time is short and there is no complicated process, and I used to eat vegetables and rice when I was at home.

Li Jicai put a little chili, the spicy and stimulating smell couldn't help but drool, the color was red and bright, and he tasted it with chopsticks, the flavor of the soft glutinous bacon of the rice and the spices of the plum vegetables and the effect of the volatilization of those spices.

Wow, that taste, it's amazing!

Li Jicai couldn't help but feast on herself, since the funeral, she hadn't eaten any full meals, and today she made this tempting stew, which made her appetite.

Thinking, = this will definitely attract the attention of those officers and soldiers!

Li Jicai was excited, and put all the pot of stewed rice into the vegetable jar, and then there were a lot of washed and clean Chinese cabbage, all of which were vegetable cores, which came out of the snow and were very sweet.

She thought of lettuce, but now the lettuce had just been sown and would not be harvested until May or June, when it would be ready to make lettuce.

She thought that she couldn't do it too deliberately, as if she deliberately brought food for those officers and soldiers to eat, this stewed rice was just a stepping stone, and if they liked it, it would be great.

Thinking that Li Jicai went out with these meals, he fed Xiao Erhei before feeding.

When she walked past the Green Cloud Book Club, she said hello to the janitor and handed him a bento, which she made extra for Li Jiye. Let him hand it over to Li Jiye.

The janitor has not changed, it is the same person. The other party naturally recognized Li Jicai, so he readily agreed, after all, the host said that she was now a guest of their bookstore.

But it's worth it if it's just a villain? The janitor was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and took Li Jicai's lunch with a smile.

When Li Jicai made a bento for Li Jiye, he specially used two bowls, one large and one small, to cover it conveniently. Then she went to the majestic Jianguan Mansion where she had gone in the morning.

What is the attitude of the government about Mrs. Fan's affairs, about the residence?

And how much effort are you going to make? These are all things to consider.

Whether she wants to use the power of the government to catch the murderer or not, this is what she wants to assess.

Because Li Jicai's clothes are simple, and when he comes over in the morning, he carries a flat shoulder and carries vegetables, so it is not very eye-catching.

In the afternoon, Li Jicai did not meet the person in black and red clothes who met in the morning.

She carried a small bamboo basket with a layer of blue cloth on it. Inside are jars, bowls, chopsticks, and vegetables.

Li Jicai, who was not amazing, slowly walked behind the stone lion, and then found a place to sit down slowly.

She found that there were very few people passing in front of the official house, and it stands to reason that this is also a prosperous area, and there is no situation where there are few people.

When passing by the footmen and hawkers and the like passed by, they all hated to trot over, and they had to pretend to be very calm, and Li Jicai felt funny when he secretly turned his head back to look at it.

Those officers and soldiers were still standing upright, and they were all there.

Seeing Li Jicai sticking to the stone lion, he just glanced at her with his eyes, and did not make any inquiring movements.

Although their faces were very serious, looking angry and majestic, Li Jicai didn't know where he got the courage, and he was not afraid of them at all.

In Li Jicai's eyes, the government should be a place that represents justice and the rule of law, she has not broken the law or done anything wrong, why should she be afraid of them?

If it is based on the rule of law, why should we be afraid to avoid it?

In this regard, Li Jicai is a little different from those ordinary people, so it has more or less attracted the attention of individual officers.

After all, there are not many women as bold as her.

Most of the people who can stay in front of the official mansion and not leave are here to do things, as long as they don't make trouble, those officers and soldiers naturally have no reason to expel her.

Therefore, in this short process, both sides got along very harmoniously and calmly, and there was no conflict.

Until......

Li Jicai was not sure whether these officers and soldiers had eaten, but she saw that they were these people when it was almost noon, and then she went home to cook a meal and came back with this group of people, which means that they did not take shifts.

Decisively opened the sealed mouth of the vegetable jar. The fragrance gradually wafted out.

Because the weather is still a little cold, the smell wafts slowly, but the smell of braised rice with dried plum vegetables and bacon still comes out quickly, and the fragrance carries a spicy smell, and the people who stab it can't help but sniff again and again.

Li Jicai's rice was cold quickly, and he specially added some cloth under the jar to keep warm.

Soon, the officers and soldiers closest to Li Jicai smelled it.

The originally tense and serious expression on his face suddenly cracked. What is it? So fragrant? Well?

He was the first, but not the last.

Soon, his companions around him smelled the smell and couldn't stand still.

What's that?!

They haven't eaten yet, so they must be hungry! It's going to be a shift change soon, and my stomach is growling.

Where does the fragrance come from? So exciting?!

The sound of swallowing saliva unconsciously remembered, and everyone was a little unable to stand.

The officials around Li Jicai, who was the first to smell the smell, couldn't stop glancing out of the corner of his eye. He knew that the scent came from this little girl.

Li Jicai was already full at home, so he was not surprised by the smell of the jar when he opened it, and his expression was very calm.

She prepared a small bowl for herself, and then spooned a small spoonful of rice and put it in the bowl.

Then put the spoon in the basket, pick up the chopsticks and start eating in small bites.

Some people have unconsciously fixed their eyes on Li Jicai's body and her vegetable basket.

After all, it's the source of the scent.

Li Jicai ate very slowly, one small bite at a time.

While eating, I couldn't help but be secretly a little anxious, because those officers and soldiers didn't move at all.

Doesn't her meal appeal to them? Or do they not like the taste?

Miscalculated?

No matter how much rice there is, when it is finished, Li Jicai finished eating the rice in the small bowl in a cranky way.

Then seeing that the bowl was empty, I knew that my strategy of using the dishes to attract them had failed, and I couldn't help but be a little discouraged, but this was also something that could not be helped.

She had no choice but to clean up, carefully tie the jar and put it in the basket, and then sat next to her in peace, I don't know if it was her illusion, she felt that those officers and soldiers seemed to breathe a heavy sigh of relief?

After the door of the government opened, she would leave after finishing her business, and come back next time!
