Chapter 33: Who's the Fool
"Hey......" Master Huang looked at Xu Qian's figure and sighed, and walked back to the yali, he suddenly remembered what Xu Qian had just said, and smiled, his master stayed in the officer's room most of the time, so he went to sit in the officer's room as usual, but at this time, an errand came in and said: "Master, that Xu Gongzi asked the villain to send something to him." β
Master Huang's face was calm, and he said, "What is it?" β
The messenger handed over a cyan package, and Master Huang was relieved to see that the package had not been touched, waved his hand, and said, "You go down." β
When there was no one around, Master Huang opened the package, and the contents were not unexpected by Master Huang, there was only a silver cake here, and there was also a letter.
Master Huang is not polite, he has lived to his age, if he even twists and turns this kind of thing, then he has lived to the body of a dog for half his life, he put away the silver cake very calmly, and then took out the letter.
The content of the letter is very simple, this is a draft announcement posted by the yamen, all of which are in recognition of Xu Qian's donation of silver.
Master Huang shook his head with a wry smile, thinking to himself: "Praise yourself, this surname Xu is really shocking." But he knew that this was Xu Qian's hope that he would draw up an announcement according to this draft, and now that he had received the money, he couldn't help but do something, Master Huang pondered for a moment, then spread out a blank piece of paper and picked up a pen, polished Xu Qian's draft one or two, converted the format into an official document, and in a moment, an announcement was released.
In the afternoon, when I heard a visitor outside, Master Huang walked to the door and looked at it. I saw a son waiting outside with a few domestic servants, waiting for the reception of Su County's order.
This boy was born quite handsome, behaved freely, and always had a smile on his face.
"Could this person be the eldest son of the Zhang family? It seems that Xu Qian was really right. Master Huang had doubts in his heart, and he didn't step forward to greet him, but just watched from a distance, and couldn't help but compare Gongzi and Xu Qian in his heart. This person is also a chic character, but with a sense of youth and old age, and what about Xu Qian? Xu Qian gives people a naΓ―ve and nonsense look at first glance, but deep down there is an unpredictable feeling. It seems that there are too many secrets on that kid, and there are always people who want to find out.
Thinking of this, Master Huang couldn't help but sigh: "Qiantang is really a place of outstanding people, and there are really many outstanding teenagers. β
He turned back to the chamber and called a scribe and asked, "Who is that man outside?" β
The scribe said: "It's the eldest son of the Zhang family, who came to see the county honor." β
Master Huang nodded, thinking of the Zhang family, he was a little nervous, after all, he was a foreigner, and all the power in this yamen came from the Su County Order, and now he has offended a local gentry like the Zhang family, and the Zhang family may not be ...... in the future
Thinking of this, Master Huang's heart moved, and he said quietly: "Yes, I have a notice here, which is to praise Xu Qian, a good family in this county, for enthusiastically accepting silk, you can post it at the door of the county government." β
The scribe did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly put away the notice and hurriedly went to post it.
Master Huang was a little restless, and went to the door to look again, and found that the young man had already gone to the flower hall of the back office to talk to Su County Ling.
At this time, Master Huang suddenly remembered Xu Qian's words, and began to feel that the kid's words were indeed reasonable. If the Zhang family really repaired the relationship with Su County Ling, it would definitely be a fatal blow to him Master Huang, he and Su County Ling were outsiders to the entire Qiantang County, and Su County Ling was not accepted by the gentry of the county because he had just taken office, so he trusted himself so much, but once he ......
However, if he unites Xu Qian, it will be more beneficial to him, Xu Qian does not have much family background after all, so it can highlight the importance of his Master Huang.
After pondering again and again, although Master Huang's expression was calm, his heart was turbulent, and he waited for an hour, feeling a little irritable, so he called an errand officer and said, "Is that Zhang Gongzi gone?" β
The messenger said: "I am still talking and laughing with Su County Ling in the flower hall. β
Master Huang grimaced and said, "There's nothing to do with you here, go down." He stood up anxiously and put his hands behind his back
, it feels a little bad.
He is clear about the foundation of Su County's order, if Su County's order is not really in line with people's feelings, he will never talk to people for so long, not to mention that this person is still a junior under Su County's rule.
"The surname Zhang has some ability." Master Huang unconsciously knocked on the table, beat with his knuckles, and after thinking for a moment, he heard movement outside, so he hurriedly went to the door to look, and saw that Su County Ling actually sent Zhang Gongzi out in person, while still talking, Zhang Gongzi was flattered and saluted repeatedly, asking Su County Ling to stay, one of these two wanted to leave, and the other wanted to send, but it really made Master Huang guess right.
Master Huang suppressed the resentment in his heart, waited for a stick of incense, and when the young man was gone, he hurriedly went to meet Su County's order.
Su Xian Ling's mood was obviously very good, and as soon as he saw Master Huang, he beckoned Master Huang to sit down, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the little son of the Zhang family was so unsuccessful, but the eldest son was a handsome man, such a romantic figure, this county has not seen it for a long time." β
Master Huang said: "I don't know what he is doing when he comes to find Dong Weng?" β
Su Xian Ling didn't expect Master Huang's complicated mood at this time, and said with a slight smile: "He has solved a big problem in the county this time. β
"But the donation for the renovation of the county school?"
Su Xian Ling nodded and said, "Not bad." The Zhang family raised their heads and was willing to donate five hundred taels of silver. β
Master Huang sighed in his heart, no wonder Su County Ling was so happy, what had never been done, today with the Zhang family taking the lead, the other gentry will definitely follow up, and the Zhang family is generous, it is directly five hundred taels, this is not a small number, and when the donation of each family is gathered together, I am afraid that it will be enough to rebuild a county school.
Although Xu Qian also donated silver, after all, the influence of the Xu family is too low, and it is too far from the Zhang family, the Zhang family represents the gentry, as long as he makes a move, other gentry will follow, and Xu Qian is different, even if he makes a move, I am afraid that no one will respond.
This is the power of the gentry, these gentry have been in business for several generations, and they have already twisted into a rope through the relationship between guΓ² marriage and the same year and classmates, and it is no wonder that the Su County Commander will be so happy.
Su County Ling was full of interest and said many good things about Zhang Shulun.
Master Huang went in and out of his left ear and out of his right ear, and he struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally said: "The student has something to assert, please forgive Dong Weng." β
Su Xianling was in a very good mood: "What's the matter?" β
Master Huang said: "After Xu Qian met the adults in the morning, the students learned that he took the lead in donating, so they specially drafted an announcement of praise and asked someone to post it at the gate of the county government. Now that the son of the Zhang family has come forward to donate again, is he also following this example? β
Su County's face ...... Suddenly it went dark.
His expression was too rich, and he was still proud, but then there was a hint of anger, so that his eyes were gloomy.
Su Xianling is a scholar and an official, but it doesn't mean that he is ignorant of the world.
Master Huang's words made him suddenly think of a possibility, and this possibility made him can't help but snort slightly.
He stroked the bookcase and said slowly, "You posted an announcement to go out?" β
Master Huang hurriedly said: "It's the student's fault, the student...... Student ......"
Su Xian Ling sneered, pressed his hand, and said: "It's not you who is wrong, it's some people who don't know what to do." β
His eyes narrowed, and he said in a flat tone: "Could it be that someone wants to treat this county as a fool?" Okay, good, good, this county wants to see who is the fool in this Qiantang, and the people of the Zhang family are too deceitful. β
Su County's reaction was very great, and there was a sense of shame and indignation, and then he soothed the case and said: "Master Huang, you go and invite Xu Qian and Xu Gongzi to come, the county has something to say to him." β
When Su Xian Ling bit the word please, his tone was very heavy.

It's so bleak and sad to open a new book, I feel forgotten.
