0018 Folding fans and bribes

After getting the money, Wen Yi and Xue Dayuan immediately implemented the plan.

Wen Yi is not familiar enough with this era, and he is too young to be trusted, so the job of showing up can only be handed over to Xue Dayuan, who was born as a scholar.

And let Zhao Zhengzhi accompany him with two entourages.

They did not go directly to the county seat, but first went to the village at the foot of the mountain to buy a new set of clothes that fit well, so as to make themselves more decent.

Fortunately, Xue Dayuan didn't cut his hair, otherwise it would be really a troublesome thing. No one cares about ordinary people shaving their hair, and those who read books will be spit on if they shave their hair.

And this time, he was going to visit Gu Yuan as a scholar and the leader of the homeless people.

One thing to say, after changing into a Confucian shirt, his image is really good, and people who don't know still think that he is the gentleman of which family.

The city gate officials of Shanyin County were frightened by him, and let them into the city without even looking at the road guide.

After entering the city, Xue Dayuan first found a shop that pasted calligraphy and paintings, made a small object, and asked the store for a small cloth bag, and put the small object and a gold leaf in it.

Then he went to Gu Yuan's residence, gave the porter a hundred dollars, and successfully delivered the cloth bag to Gu Yuan's hands, and then unsurprisingly got the opportunity to meet.

Xue Dayuan came to the living room in a nervous mood, and saw a young man in his early twenties sitting on the main seat, playing with the small objects he gave him with great interest, thinking that it was Gu Yuan.

It's just that he is sitting sideways in the seat, and Xue Dayuan can only see half of his face - the meaning of this gesture is very simple, disdain to look at you with a straight face.

Xue Dayuan didn't dare to have an opinion, so he bowed respectfully, and stood silently aside with his hands down.

At this time, in the lower left position of Gu Yuan, a middle-aged Confucian in his thirties who was kneeling and said, "Where did you get this gold leaf?" ”

Xue Dayuan inquired about this Confucian scholar and called Sun Haoyin Gu Yuan's staff to handle official affairs and trivial affairs for him.

This is also the norm for most of the children of the scholar clan after they become officials, and most of the things are handled by the staff, who are only responsible for the conversation.

Therefore, Xue Dayuan was also very respectful to him, and first bowed before answering the question: "A certain ancestral hometown is Yangxia, Chen County." ”

Sun Haoyin seemed to understand something and no longer asked this question, but asked, "This ...... Are you the stranger? ”

Although he didn't name what it was, Xue Dayuan understood what he was talking about, and pretended to be surprised:

"This folding fan was obviously made by Gu Langjun, I just took it back from the pasting shop and returned it to its original owner, why does Mr. ask?"

Then he exclaimed: "This thing seems to be simple but actually hides a mystery, this white fan can be painted on one side, and poetry can be written on the other, which is really a first-class elegant thing." ”

"If this flow is out, it will definitely cause people in the world to follow suit, and the day when Gu Langjun will become famous in the world is not far away."

Sun Haoyin was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xue Dayuan in surprise.

Gu Yuan raised the folding fan again to observe carefully, and then laughed and said, "Wonderful, really wonderful." Things are wonderful, and people are wonderful. ”

Only then did he turn around and face Xue Dayuan and said, "Now you can say your request." ”

Xue Dayuan was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that the matter was already halfway through. But he always maintained humility on his face, and told the story of the homeless people preparing to go to Lingnan one by one.

"Originally, we wanted to ask the court for permission, but it would take at least two months for the court to give its will...... If we set off at this time, we can reach Lingnan before August, and we can still catch up with the planting. ”

"If we wait for the imperial decree to be issued, it will already be autumn when we arrive in Lingnan...... At that time, we will have no food and no shelter, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to survive the cold winter. ”

Gu Yuan couldn't put it down, and said casually: "So you just want to go through the door of my Gu family, right?" ”

Xue Dayuan praised: "Gu Langjun is wise. ”

Gu Yuan said: "The resettlement of displaced people is a matter for the imperial court, how can my Gu family overstep the bounds." ”

Xue Dayuan knew that he was asking for benefits, and came up with a reason that he had prepared a long time ago: "Huiji County is a place where the world's corporal clans gather, and famous people such as the prince, the prince of Yu, and the prince of Xie all live here. ”

"Huiji Mountain is a famous painting, and the homeless people are like ink spots on the painting, whoever can remove this ink spot can make a big splash in front of the princes."

"If Gu Langjun can persuade the displaced people to go south to Lingnan, and there are such elegant things as folding fans, he will definitely stand out and come out on top among Tongji."

Gu Yuan's heart was moved, and he said reservedly: "You say so much seems to be for others, so what do you ask for?" ”

Xue Dayuan said: "Many of the displaced people are Xue's fellow villagers, and they are only willing to seek a place to settle down for them, and they dare not have other extravagances." ”

Gu Yuan said in surprise: "Really don't want anything? ”

Xue Dayuan said affirmatively: "There is nothing else to ask for." ”

Gu Yuan finally looked at Xue Dayuan: "I didn't expect you to be a righteous man, but you are willing to come to my house to do things?" ”

Sun Haoyin also reminded on the side: "It's rare for Lang Jun to speak, Mr. Xue should cherish this opportunity." ”

Xue Dayuan said gratefully: "Xie Gu Langjun is important, Mr. Xie mentions." Ran was really relieved, and his fellow villagers had decided to go south with them. If Gu Langjun doesn't give up, he will return from Lingnan to serve you as a dog and horse. ”

Gu Yuan praised: "Sir, true righteousness, okay, I'll wait for you to return from Lingnan." ”

"I will not let Gu Langjun down."

Gu Yuan nodded and said to Sun Haoyin: "Mr. Sun, this matter will be handed over to you, transfer the grain and grass to them as soon as possible, so that they can get on the road as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Sun Haoyin got up to receive the order, and then said to Xue Dayuan: "Mr. Xue, please." ”

Xue Dayuan saluted Gu Yuan again, and it wasn't until he waved his hand that he took a step back and turned around and left with Sun Haoyin.

Out of the lobby, Sun Hao said regretfully: "Lang Jun rarely opens his mouth to keep people, you shouldn't refuse." ”

Xue Dayuan sighed: "They are all villagers, and I can only come here alive because they take care of me, how can I bear to leave them alone." ”

Sun Haoyin said: "This is also where Gu Langjun values you, if you agree to stay, you will be looked down upon." ”

Saying that, the two came to a side room, and it looked like the situation was where Sun Haoyin worked.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Xue Dayuan took out a small cloth bag and said: "I'm tired of Mr. Sun, a little caution is not a respect, and I hope to smile." ”

Sun Haoyin said unhappily: "What are you doing, I will help you for the public and morality, is it for personal gain." ”

Xue Dayuan said in awe: "Mr. Sun, how dare I defile your noble purity with copper stench." However, this is the intention of the 3,000 displaced people, and if you don't accept me, I really can't explain it to you. ”

Sun Haoyin said helplessly: "You are trying to embarrass me, accepting it will make people gossip, and if you don't accept it, you are afraid of disappointing the people." ”

Xue Dayuan said: "Mr. Sun is too worried, this is the will of the people, even if it goes to the sky, no one can say anything." ”

After saying that, he stuffed the cloth bag into his hand.

"That's really...... Alas, pity me, my reputation may be ruined by your hands. Sun Haoyin said as he pinched the cloth bag with his fingers.

I guessed that there were two gold leaves inside, and I was very satisfied.
