Section 14 Striving for fame and fortune

The scribe's surname is Zhao, he has been poor since he was a child, and he was forced to make a living after Xiucai, and married the daughter of Tong Lao Liu, although his wife's dowry is rich, but the appearance is indescribable, Zhao Shuren has never seen a saltless woman, but only with the pair of buckteeth on his wife's dark and shiny face, it is estimated that the saltless woman is not ugly.

Life is thinner than paper, and the heart is higher than the sky. Zhao scribes often compare themselves to Kong Ming in the thatched house, many years of depression, but there is no chance, if the wind and clouds meet, they will definitely meet the weathered dragon.

In the night sky, the moon crawled out of the gaps in the dark clouds, revealing a glimmer of light, and he only felt that his steps became more and more brisk.

In his eyes, his father-in-law Tong Lao Liu is as stupid as a Chu person who buys and returns pearls, guarding the gold mountain to beg for food, such a simple and clear account will not be calculated, and getting rid of those silver mines of other families will indeed collect less filial piety and dividends, but compared with the silver bribed by the prefect Yamen every year, it is a drop in the bucket.

Phew, isn't it just spending money to donate an errand for yourself? The father and daughter have their nostrils facing up all day long, and they don't look at themselves at all. Hehe, I didn't expect that I could do such a big thing, what else will this old man say when the time comes?

While speaking, the Tong family arrived, Zhao Shuyi raised his feet up the stone steps, knocked on the door and went to the back hall to see his father-in-law Tong Lao Liu, who explained the meaning in a few words, and then raised his face proudly, waiting for Tong Lao Liu to get up and personally make a cup of high-quality tea for him.

Let's da, let's go, Tong Lao Liu sat cross-legged on the couch, holding the hookah qia

G twitched his head, the fat on his face shook, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.

"Lord Yue, two stay one, Xu Ping can give Tianda face, what does it mean? You have a good word. ”

Tong Lao Liu didn't say a word, and glanced at him coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Lord Yue, Lord Xu is still waiting for a reply in the county office?"

Tong Lao Liu coughed hard, spit out thick phlegm, knocked the cigarette ash, got up and put on his shoes, and stared at him: "Stupid, who let you be so idle, so uncontrollable, I will be killed by you sooner or later."

Scribe Zhao was dumbfounded, "Why did my father-in-law say this, this is obviously a great thing." ”

"Phew, he can't do things firmly without hair on his mouth, he is a chick less than twenty years old, and he can fight Zhao Wenhua's old fox? Do you know how much silver I give Zhao Wenhua every year? Xu Ping is obviously cut off from people's wealth, and the surname Zhao can give him good fruits to eat? ”

Zhao Shu: "Hehe, my father-in-law was worried about this, don't worry, I have already felt the details of Xu Ping, he is very hard in the background, his father is the second assistant of the dynasty, Xu Jie, and the teacher is Nie Bao, the governor of Fujian."

"Oh?" Tong Lao Liu raised his eyebrows a few times, took a deep breath and said, "I still have to play according to that, but ......, Zhao Wenhua is Yan Ge's godson." It's best not to get involved in this kind of tricky thing, there is an old saying that when immortals fight, mortals suffer. ”

"When it comes to the Yan family, you don't have to worry about it." Zhao Shuyi laughed a few times, his eyebrows were full of color, he stepped forward a few times and said to Tong Lao Liu: "I once overheard the Qiu girl and the family next to Xu Ping, saying that Xu Ping and Yan Shifan, the little pavilion guy, are actually ......."

Tong Lao Liu's eyes gradually lit up, and he laughed a few times and said: "This is still a fart, let's go and meet this Lord Xu, oh ......, by the way, I've been here for so long, and I haven't made tea for you......"

The hall of the county government was brightly lit and full of people, and the chief and patriarch who came to the guild to handle the preparation were surrounded by three layers and three outer floors, and they could only hear the voices of Xu Ping and several scribes working, and they couldn't see the figure at all, and even the Diao county order was squeezed outside.

Tong Lao Liu stepped forward to salute Diao County Commander and asked, "My lord, are these lieutenants summoned by you?" Tsk, you really have a vision, Shaxian County took the lead in banning mines, and the above will definitely reward adults. ”

"Tong Lao Liu, don't you disgust me?" Diao Xian Ling drooped the corners of his mouth and said: "I didn't interfere in this matter at all, our Lord Xu is very capable, these people are all coming at him, tsk, now I understand a little bit why Governor Zhao would suffer a secret loss in his hands."

Tong Lao Liu turned around and found that his son-in-law had long since disappeared, so he complained to Diao County Decree and turned around to look for it, and after a long time, he saw Zhao Shu's hat squeezed out of the lobby with a crooked collar, and he paused and said: "Look, if you don't delay at home for a while, you will at least be the first to mix up, and now it's good, Cao Dascar will become the head of the guild."

"Fuck, he's worthy of it?" Tong Lao Liu pulled off his headscarf, and his rosacea nose couldn't help flashing, "Tell me quickly, if Lord Xu likes something, I'll go and prepare." This time, at least a deputy will have to take the lead, otherwise I don't know what kind of joke will be made of Cao Da Scarla. ”

Zhao Shuren frowned and said, "I really don't know about this, but ......, we haven't had lunch yet."

"Got it, I'll go to Xishun Building to book a few good banquets on the table." When the words landed, Tong Lao Liu had already rushed out.

………………

Zhao Wenhua lay restlessly in the rocking chair with a splitting headache. The moon flowers by the pond in the courtyard bloom three times, and the gorgeous flowers are like the submission of the three years of the first examination of the Ministry of Officials, which makes it difficult to sleep.

Looking at the smiling master beside him, Zhao Wenhua was inexplicably annoyed, this product is like Jiang Gan who stole the letter in the play, he has not succeeded enough and has more than he can lose, and he is specially dragging his feet.

Thinking of Yan Song, who was thousands of miles away, Zhao Wenhua trembled in his heart, if this assessment is in the middle and lower levels, I am afraid that he will be assigned to the wild and remote Qiongzhou.

There is also Xu Ping, this kid is definitely the opponent of the demon star in his previous life, and he actually banned more than eighty percent of the silver mines in Shaxian County overnight, it is incredible, at this rate, he can definitely complete the ban on the silver mines of the entire state capital within half a month, shame, this is his government affairs that have been wasted for three years. What will Yan Song think, what will the officials think, and what will his colleagues and subordinates think?

Damn, it is precisely because of Xu Ping that he seems incompetent.

It seems that he has to use his seventy-two changes to climb over the flame mountain of Princess Iron Fan.

"My lord, the students have a plan to make the work of banning the mine go to the hands of adults." The master coughed lightly and lowered his hand and said.

Zhao Wenhua didn't even raise his eyelids, and said lazily: "Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"Grace kill!" The master said: "Hehe, Yanping has seven counties under its jurisdiction, and in the process of sealing the mines in the remaining six counties, adults may wish to come to the county and provide all the convenience for the Governor's Mansion and Xu Ping, but in the key link of establishing a guild and preparing for it, we must practice it and stamp the prefect's big seal ......, in addition, when everything is on the right track, you can use the stubble to branch Xu Ping and come to him Li Dai Taozhuang."

Zhao Wenhua's heart was shocked, and a bright light gradually appeared in his eyes looking at the distant mountains, and he couldn't help but nod and said: "Yes, don't quarrel with Xu Ping, we are an official, and we should sincerely unite with our colleagues and subordinates to handle the affairs of the court well, and avoid fighting for fame and fortune to attack each other."
