Chapter 157: Taking office

Duan's mother looked at Duan's father, Duan's father nodded heavily, his son is going to be an official, and they naturally have no reason to hinder him.

By the time Taifu's letter came, Duanmuxiu was ready to set off at any time.

Since Taifu was also resolute and Duanmu Xiu hurried to take office a year ago, Luluo also said goodbye to his mother's family and the red shopkeeper and others, and the two took their children and a few potted plants, rented a carriage, and staggered on the road.

As soon as you get out of town, don't stop you.

"Sister Hong?" The pothos is a little strange, this mighty team of people, is it too big to bid farewell to the battle?

"Sister, our boss has spoken, asking me to go to Mocheng to open a shop, it seems that you can't get rid of me, let's go on the road together!"

The pothos was surprised and delighted, I thought that I would go to a friend who was gone, but now I didn't expect to have a companion.

The Red Shopkeeper joined them with his own goods and a caravan of dozens of people, and the road to office was finally lively.

There are more people, and the journey is not so boring and long, but the carriage still swayed for half a month before coming to Mocheng.

When the pothos heard it, she lifted the curtain and was greeted by the yellow sand in the sky, and she couldn't see the figure clearly three meters away.

This...... It seems to be a lot harder than I thought!

cough cough cough ......

Everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses, the weather was too bad.

It's easy to enter the city and know the county office. The outside is basically gray, and the gate of the yamen is also tightly closed, and there is no one left.

Duanmuxiu stepped forward to knock on the door, and with a cup of tea, the gate of the county government finally opened slowly.

"Looking for whom?" The person who came was a middle-aged man, and he said angrily, in this kind of weather, everyone is nesting in the room to brag and chat, who is knocking and beating outside the door?

Duanmuxiu didn't speak, looking at the dress of the person in front of him, he should be a servant.

According to the content of the teacher's letter, there has been no county order here for half a year, and the master handles official business on his behalf.

took out the official documents he served, and the official only half-dead introduced Duanmuxiu and others, but after seeing the vast number of dozens of people, his contempt was restrained a lot.

I guess I thought it was an unlucky guy at first, but now that I see a lot of people, I feel a little worried.

Duanmuxiu is too lazy to care, now is not the time to care, everyone has been on the road for more than half a month, they are too tired, when they come to the back office, everyone settles up, eats something, washes up and sleeps.

"Master, what do you think of our county order?" More than a dozen officials gathered in the master's room, and it was obvious that the arrival of the county order was beyond their expectations.

After all, the master has been acting for half a year, and everyone thinks that after the New Year, the master will be able to take office as a county commander, after all, the court has no intention of sending people again before, and I don't know why one suddenly came.

"Don't panic, wait until we hear the details of the county order." The master touched his beard and said slowly, to be honest, he also thought that his county order was nine out of ten, who knew that he would bite the gold halfway.

The official who had just opened the door said with some uneasiness: "The new county order seems to have a rich family, and there are forty or fifty people who have just come, not to mention, all the good things in the car, if you don't have a family background, how can you bring so many things to work?" ”

The master frowned, a little dissatisfied with this servant, at this time, isn't it to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige?

The official was obviously a little timid, and when he saw that the master's face was not good, he timidly closed his mouth.

After discussing it for a while, everyone had no idea, and finally they all went back.

After sleeping until dawn, the pothos woke up hungry.

After getting dressed and coming out, the weather is finally good today, and the yellow sand is no longer long.

The cook in the stove room was busy making breakfast, and when she heard that it was the county lady, she quickly greeted her warmly.

"Madame, why did you come to this place? It's dirty, you go back first, and I'll bring you breakfast later. The pothos looked around, the stove room was quite clean, and it smelled like it was steaming buns, so she smiled and nodded and went back.

Duanmuxiu brushed a set of punches in the yard, loosened his muscles and bones, and sweated a lot, only to feel a lot more comfortable.

After breakfast, Duanmu Xiucai gathered all the people from the yamen.

plus the master, there are a total of seventeen servants, plus a family of three cooks, just twenty people.

"Master, you have worked hard, our realm is not good, you came here this year, it is really hard." The master said with a smile, looking very enthusiastic, as if he had been looking forward to Duanmu Xiu for a long time.

Duanmuxiu smiled and responded, it seems that the housekeeper in this house is the man of the cook, their son is a stupid big man, idle at home, the seventeen servants are thirty or forty years old, and there are those in their early twenties, all of whom are faintly headed by the master.

The master looks to be in his forties, with a smile on his face, and he is afraid that he is hiding a knife in his smile.

"This official has just arrived, and I hope you will help me."

"You're welcome, sir."

After getting acquainted, they sent them to perform their duties, but it didn't seem to be anything, except for the four who went to the door to guard, everyone else followed the master.

The housekeeper walked over with a smile: "Master, who are those people you brought here?" ”

Duanmuxiu looked at him and didn't reply.

Knowing that he was asking abruptly, he hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Don't blame me, master, the main thing is that I have to arrange accommodation in this house, and this food is also ......."

Duanmuxiu changed his sitting posture: "How is the cost of this mansion calculated, you can tell me a good story." ”

"Yes," the butler straightened up in front of him and said solemnly: "In the past, it was the county lord's salary, and the servants' income was also a burden on the court, but in the past few months, there has been no county order, and the master has lived in the mansion, and the expenses are naturally borne by the master." ”

"Oh? Who lives in this house? ”

"In addition to the size of the master's family, there are a few officials who are far away from home, and they usually follow the house to eat, which is considered to be the master's burden." The housekeeper said seriously, but Duanmuxiu keenly felt that the housekeeper didn't like the master very much.

This is a good sign, when he first arrives, the officials are partial to the master, and he needs to be loyal to his subordinates.

"You don't seem to like Master?" Duanmuxiu said directly, and the housekeeper was so frightened that his face turned white, and he quickly denied it.

"It's okay, no matter what you think, now that I'm here, I'm naturally in charge of this house."

When the housekeeper heard this, his eyes lit up, but then he closed his mouth tightly, after all, it was a new county order, how to observe it.

Duanmuxiu didn't know that he would believe it all when he said a few words, and waved his hand to go to the back office to see the pothos and the child.

"How?" Pothos has already arranged the bedroom, and it looks a lot more comfortable.

Duanmuxiu took a sip of tea and almost spit it out, it was bitter and astringent, and the tea was too unpalatable. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Re-walking the Ronghua Road: The Blessed Lady Claw Book House with a Black Belly" for the first time.
