014-Why bother with the dead
That night, the south of Wuyang County was very lively.
Today is Ma Baishan's 72nd birthday, and all the people in the county are here. For a time, there was a lot of traffic outside the Ma family's mansion. Brightly lit.
Yao Yu in the carriage opened the curtain and saw this scene: "This old man is quite good at enjoying it, making such a big show." I don't know, I thought he was a county magistrate. ”
Yao Bao's expression was serious: "Brother, I still think it's better for us not to go tonight, my right eyelid keeps jumping." ”
Yao Yu patted Yao Leopard on the shoulder: "Ann Ah Leopard, where did you get so many suspicious ghosts." Have you prepared the gifts you have prepared? ”
Yao Bao was a little embarrassed, and took out a bag of grain from his arms: "Brother, are you sure this is okay?" ”
"Why not? How precious food is now. How many people are short of this mouthful of food to survive. Besides, I am the county commander, and I am nominally the largest in Wuyang County. I'm coming to attend an ordinary old man's birthday, do I have to prepare a golden pig for him? ”
Yao Bao showed a bitter smile on his face, and said in his heart that this old man is not ordinary, he is the head of the Ma family in Wuyang County.
Seeing Yao Yu's indifferent expression, Yao Bao only sighed and didn't say anything more.
It was Yao Yu, who got out of the car and asked Chen Zhong to park the carriage, and asked how Yao Bao had been investigating in the past few days.
As soon as he heard this, Yao Bao was in good spirits: "Brother and you're right, Wu Kang's kid did go to others behind your back." ”
"It's Sun Anping."
Yao Bao was taken aback: "Brother, how do you know that it is Sun Anping?" ”
Yao Yu shook his head and was happy: "It's not clear what happened, he brought the assassin from Sun Anping." Most importantly, after you subdued the female assassin, this kid went too far. Before I could say anything, he wanted to kill the assassin, but what was it if it wasn't murder? Fortunately, I caught him in advance and threw him in prison. Otherwise, it would be really dangerous to keep such a traitor. ”
Yao Bao was silent, these days, he always felt that he didn't know Yao Yu.
Smart, bold, tough. Before the comparison, it was a complete difference of one day and one place.
Yao Bao didn't understand what was going on, and he could only think in his heart that Yao Yu's ignorance before was all disguised.
Just like Yao Yu said, he deliberately pretended to be unconscious before, in order to fish out the black sheep of Wuyang County and rectify the atmosphere of Wuyang City.
"Don't think about Wu Kang, let's go to the banquet today, remember to eat and drink more later, or the gifts we take will be wasted."
Just as Yao Bao was thinking, Yao Yu had already changed the topic with a smile.
After the two of them waited for Chen Zhong, they went to the Ma family's mansion together.
At the door of the Ma family's mansion, Ma Fu was welcoming the guests and friends who came to the banquet to congratulate him, and after seeing Yao Yu and the three of them from afar, he hurriedly glanced at a servant.
Then, he walked forward with a smile and arched his hand at Yao Yu: "Oh, the county commander is here, making our Ma family shine." ”
Yao Yu pointed at Ma Fu and smiled: "In the end, the housekeeper of the mansion gate, this mouth is good, Ah Leopard, learn more." There is no harm in having a good mouth, and a good mouth can ask the golden foal. ”
Yao Bao replied very seriously, but Ma Fu was a little embarrassed, and this sentence sounded like he was laughing at himself.
There were also several chambers of commerce and family heads present next to them, and when they saw Ma Fu's embarrassment, they sneered in their hearts.
This Yao Yu, I don't know when I die, and I'm still in the mood to joke here, hehe, I don't know if you will be so relaxed when you die later.
Thinking like this, the head of the family asked Yao Yu: "Lord Yao, today is the birthday of Old Man Ma." Everyone is happy to be here, but you can't be empty-handed as a prefectural magistrate, right? ”
Yao Yu glanced at the head of the family who said this, and shook his head: "How is that possible, the old man is highly respected in Wuyang County, and he celebrates his birthday, can I bring nothing?" Leopard, give us our congratulatory gifts. ”
When Yao Bao heard this, he was a little embarrassed to send a bag of grain.
The amount of grain is only one or two catties.
No, when the masters at the door saw it, they were stunned at first, and then laughed.
The head of the family who talked to Yao Yu at the beginning covered his stomach and was the most exaggerated: "It's not Yao County's order, I'm not mistaken, you're really not joking?" This small bag of grain is your congratulatory gift? ”
Yao Yu sighed: "What, can't I give this gift?" ”
The shopkeeper of a chamber of commerce shook his head, with a contemptuous smile on his face: "Lord County Order, if you are short of money, tell me that there are a lot of antiques in my chamber of commerce, or I will lead you to pick them again?" Your bag of grain is really inappropriate as a congratulatory gift. ”
Yao Yu smiled, he looked the shopkeeper up and down: "Oh, yes, you are talking about it, why is it not suitable?" ”
Several heads of the house glanced at each other, but they all smiled and did not speak.
Needless to say, it must be disgusted that Yao Yu's things are cheap, and he can't take them.
Seeing that everyone was like this, Yao Yu also smiled: "You think the things I took are not valuable, so they are not suitable, right?" I don't agree with that, though. On the contrary, the congratulatory gift I took was the most appropriate. Don't you hear that the people take food as their heaven? Although the Ma family has a rich background, they can't escape a single character. What's wrong with me using grain as a gift? Not to mention, how many people and refugees are outside, just short of this mouthful of food to survive. It's not like you, who eat big fish and meat every day, and eat them all with fat brains. If you are peeled and lit, you can burn for three days and three nights. ”
Speaking of the back, Yao Yu was no longer polite, and directly scolded everyone.
Sure enough, when everyone heard this, their faces changed, and they became angry one by one.
Seeing this, Ma Fu was afraid that there would be a conflict at the scene, so Yao Yu left again.
If that's the case, then tonight's master's birthday is meaningless.
With this in mind, he hurriedly stood up and became a peacemaker.
"Guys, guys, what does that mean? Today's birthday is a happy day. Happiness, happiness is the most important thing. ”
Yao Yu laughed and snapped his fingers at Ma Fu: "That's right, it makes sense, the most important thing is to be happy today." Come on, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, I'm going to congratulate the birthday star. ”
After speaking, he led Yao Bao and Chen Zhong into the Ma family's house.
Yao Yu went in with his front foot, and the heads of the house at the door of his back foot scolded.
"Phew, this Yao Yu has stiff wings, and I don't want to think about it, without our support, how can he do this stable county order."
"It's just, I really think I'm a dish."
Seeing this, Ma Fu smiled bitterly: "Everyone, he is also proud, but tonight, why bother with a dead man?" ”
When Ma Fu said this, everyone hummed angrily and lost their temper and entered the house one after another.
