Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Counties

Gan Sui has the emperor's royal pen seal, and the group is safe. When he arrived at the state capital, Gan Sui went to the government to report to the prefect.

"I don't know how many letters I've written, so I can be regarded as sending someone down for me. is still a great talent, which is really a blessing for my state capital. ”

"Thank you for your compliment, this is a document ...... the lower officials."

The prefect took it and said, "Young talents, even the middle three yuan, it is the future life is terrifying." I heard that you are a closed disciple of Master Taifu? ”

"Yes, I was lucky to get the master's blue eyes, and I bowed to the door."

"If you can be valued by Master Taifu, you must be knowledgeable and capable. Thinking about the old man, he got a word of guidance from Lord Taifu, and then he could go to high school, and Lord Taifu's kindness has not been repaid in this life, and Gan County Order can come to the old man if he has anything, if he can help, he will definitely help. ”

"Thank you, sir."

"Now I'll tell you about the inkwell. The ink pool is the place most affected by the ground movement, the early casualties, the damage to the house are written very clearly in the report, I will not say much about these, the next thing to do is that the ground movement has caused an epidemic, although there is medicine now, but most of the patients are still very weak. Both, there are more than a dozen children whose parents were killed or injured in the early stage, and this is not easy to do...... You go to the ink pool first, I will send someone with you, if there is a difficulty, let him go back and forth, so we can discuss it together. Another is the mob that has appeared in the past two months, and there has been no movement in recent days, but it is still necessary to observe more. ”

Gan Sui hurriedly responded, the prefect still had a meal, and Gan Sui was also in a hurry to deal with things, and did not stay long to return to the ink pool.

Inkpool was about an hour's walk from the state capital, and after Gan Sui and Banxia entered the city, they found that the situation was not as bad as they thought. It is now the county council, and together with the people sent by the government, two groups of people have set up soup kitchens around the city to give food to those who are homeless. The food for disaster relief has been sent out from household to family for a long time, and you can survive by saving a little food.

Gan Sui came to the magistrate's yamen, the official at the door guarded, Gan Sui showed him the paperwork, and the official respectfully invited him inside.

As soon as I entered the study, I heard a loud cry.

The little official rubbed his hands awkwardly and explained: "Lord County Cheng was busy for most of the night yesterday, and I slept for a while at noon. ”

"Since he's asleep, don't call him yet, take us to where we live first."

Gan Sui spoke, and the little official naturally didn't dare to say no, and took them into the inner hall.

The official also didn't know much about the structure here, but fortunately, when the county heard that they were coming, he transferred a few mothers-in-law and small servants to watch at his house, and the little official shouted "You Liu" after coming in. "One of the little guys came running.

The little official introduced, "This is the new county magistrate, you should take it with you quickly." ”

You Liu waited here for many days before the main owner came, and began to introduce attentively, "This is the master bedroom, when the ground moved, half of the wall collapsed, and our master made the decision to rebuild it." The furniture here is all new, and our lord said that the new official must have a new atmosphere, and buy some new things to go to bad luck. ”

"Your lord is quite rich."

"That's not an eight-hundred-mile radius, who doesn't know that our master is rich." The little servant said quite proudly, "The money issued by the court is not enough for our lord to have a pair of shoes, but the lord likes to be an official, so he spent money to donate to the official." ”

Banxia then understood that the county man was bought. "There are still a lot of things in the front yard, you go and deal with it first, I'll just clean up this inner yard."

Gan Sui is not polite, and the new official must always have a good understanding of the situation when he takes office.

Banxia learned from the mouth of the little guy that the county was surnamed Wei and his name was Wenyuan. The family was originally a well-known merchant or an imperial merchant, and there were not so many restrictions on merchants in this dynasty, and merchants could also take the imperial examination. In order to replace the lintel, the family invited Da Confucian to teach him to read, this child also really likes to read, but he just can't pass the exam. started taking the exam at the age of fifteen, and he was still a talent at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve today, Wei Wenyuan felt that it was really useless to take the imperial examination in this life, so he discussed with his daughter-in-law to buy an official.

Wei Wenyuan's daughter-in-law's surname is Gao, and her name is Peilan. She is also a strange woman, Wei Wenyuan can only read since she was a child, and she has not married until she is twenty-one. His father is in a hurry, this generation of examinees must be out of play, but you can't delay me from cultivating the next generation, so I urged him to get married quickly. Wei Wenyuan didn't agree, and his father directly locked his study and let him go out to do business.

Wei Wenyuan took the silver before going out, and around the corner he saw that the lone ancient book he had loved for a long time had arrived, and he took out the silver without saying a word. This came out to buy goods, but when I went back, I only hugged a lot of books, which must have been washed by my father. Wei Wenyuan thought about it, he could go to the credit first, and then grind the money given by his mother and then pay it back.

I went out on credit and found that I still knew people. The little girl who used to live next door is now slim. Wei Wenyuan didn't know why he began to blush and heartbeat when he saw the girl, and even the credit was stumbling, but the little girl had now grown into a big shopkeeper, and she gave him credit directly. When Wei Wenyuan took the goods and left, he turned around three times in one step, and the little girl smiled really good. When I went home, I had plans to marry a wife.

This married wife and lived like a fish in water, his wife was a good hand in business, which directly exempted him from the burden of doing business, he just studied hard, and his wife was happy. In order to thank his wife for bringing a good life, he discussed everything with his wife first, and his wife also bought this official with money.

Who would have thought that he was so unlucky, he moved on the spot the next day after becoming an official, and the county order was crushed to death, and he directly became the principal, so busy that he was so busy that he hit the back of his head, and then he understood that it was not easy to be an official.

Banxia looked left and right, the house was very clean, the small courtyard was quite large, and it was very finely maintained, and it was completely impossible to see that it had been affected by the disaster, which showed the ability of these subordinates, this county Mrs. Cheng is not simple, and it is worth making friends.

"I've worked hard for you in the past few days, and now I and the county commander can be busy, so I can't trouble you again. Go back first, and tell your wife that I'm going to visit you tomorrow. ”

The little guy was obviously relieved, they were sent to the county magistrate to help, but if the magistrate was an important person, how could the county lady not give it. They are all born of the family, if they work here, separate the two families, they are not comfortable, and the county Cheng's family is a master who has long been accustomed to it, and it has long been clear that the new county commander has no temperament, and he is also very nervous about being sent over this time, he is afraid that the county order will stay, but he didn't expect Banxia to directly ask them to go back.

"Okay, Madame, let's see if there is anything that needs to be added, we are familiar with it and can help purchase it first before leaving."

Banxia looked at everything and had nothing to add, and took out five taels of silver: "You have worked hard these days, take this silver and give it to a few people to drink tea." ”

The little guy obviously didn't expect that there would be a reward, this county lady looks like she has an average family background, but she is a generous person, she accepted the reward and took someone back.

Anzi was very excited to come to a new place, running inside and outside the house, he was followed by Lu Ying, Banxia was relieved to let him run around, and gave him half a tael of silver, so that he could go to the street to play, but not to the west of the city. I heard that there is a quarantine area in the west of the city that specializes in containing epidemics, and Banxia didn't dare to let Anzi go.

Anzi nodded, and went out with Lu Ying.

Banxia looked at Lu Ying's back and felt that he was quite strange, when he came to the capital to repay the mountain chief's great kindness, he later taught Anzi martial arts, and he began to be willing to follow Anzi and come to this small county, and he is also a very amazing person. However, Gan Sui didn't ask much, so she didn't care, and this Lu Ying was really good to Anzi.

When Gan Sui arrived in the front hall, Wei Wenyuan had already woken up, presumably the little official woke him up just now, and after freshening up at this time, he was waiting for Gan Sui in the study.

As soon as Gan Sui entered the door, he immediately stood up: "Your Excellency, you are finally here." "I almost cried. He was also the first time to be an official, and he encountered this unfortunate natural and man-made disaster. I was tired all night, and I felt more than ten years old.

"Brother Wei has worked hard, I thank you on behalf of the people." Gan Sui said and solemnly saluted him.

"Deserved, deserved." Wei Wenyuan hurriedly pulled him.

"Brother Wei deserves this gift, if it weren't for Brother Wei, the county would never be what it is now."

"It's all as it should be."

"Brother Wei looks very tired, do you want to go back and rest."

"Don't hide it, I really haven't been able to sleep well for more than half a month, and I've been wearing this dress for several days, but the weather has been cool recently, otherwise it will stink. I'm going to take a leave of absence this afternoon and go home and change my clothes. ”

"Brother Wei, come back early tomorrow morning, I'm new here, and there must be a lot of things for your help."

Wei Wenyuan responded, and then handed over the important matter to Gan Sui, and called the master into the house to wait, in case Gan Sui didn't understand something. That's when I went home.

When Wei Wenyuan went home, Gao Peilan was reading the account book in the house, and saw him come back: "This is really strange, you can come back in broad daylight." He hurriedly poured him another cup of tea.

"If you don't drink tea, if you don't drink tea, I just want to wash up and get some sleep."

Gao Peilan hurriedly asked the maid Yuan'er to go down and let the kitchen boil a large bucket of hot water, and then sat down to rub Wei Wenyuan's shoulders, Wei Wenyuan hummed comfortably.

"This is how people live, why can't I think about it like this, thinking about becoming an official."

Gao Peilan knew that he was complaining, this person was addicted to officials, and others called him a county lord who couldn't find the north for a long time. "Why are you back now?"

"The new prefectural commander has arrived."

"How's the people?"

"Young, only in his twenties, but he is kind, and his family background does not seem to be very good. I heard from the officer that he was followed by a small servant. Didn't you arrange people for the inner house, or those people would be given to adults, and it would be a little bit of my heart, what do you think? ”

"I don't have a big opinion......" As she was talking, Min'er came in and replied, "Madam, the people in the county government are back, and the dignitaries have come to talk back to you, do you want to see them." ”

"Hurry up and let them in, what's the matter with them coming back?"

You Liu came in and was about to salute, Gao Peilan said: "Let's talk about it directly, why did you come back, you are not satisfied over there?" ”

"No, no, Mrs. County Ling is a philanthropist, and she doesn't want anyone to serve her if there is no one in the backyard. He also said that he would visit his wife tomorrow. ”

"It's not a proper thing, I should go and see her, or I'll visit her early tomorrow."

"It's okay, I heard that there is a son in the county family, you bring your son, he doesn't always say that no one plays together."

"Your son's bandit nature, don't scare people." Gao Peilan mentioned that her bear son had a headache.

"Children just want to make a fuss. I'll go down and wash first, and I'm really going to get rancid. You're asking the cook to bring me a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and I'll eat and sleep later, and finally get a good night's sleep. ”
