Rushing to the military room early in the morning, Wu Yan was thinking about how to spend this boring day. Cao Jinren hurriedly walked in, and asked, "The letter from yesterday was delivered to the county guard's mansion?" ”

Wu Yan looked up and was stunned, "Since I sent it over, why do you have this question?" ”

"Look again, did you not put the paperwork in the envelope?" Cao Jinren's tone was a little unkind, and he said angrily.

Squinting his eyes and thinking about it, he looked for the table again, and Wu Yan said affirmatively: "I must have put it in, and I still signed it on it." ”

"Hey, why did the word come from there this morning, and it was an empty envelope. This is the document for the disbursement of money and rations for the army this month, and yesterday was the last day of reporting.

In this way, what to eat and drink this month. Cao Jinren almost roared, his face was red, his ears were red, and the green tendons on his neck were bulging.

Wu Gen said coldly: "You were also on the side yesterday, and you can see it clearly, the official document was indeed put in, how can it be on my head." ”

"It's hard to make a big deal with a shaft." Cao Jinren was furious and slapped the table hard.

Hearing the quarrel between the two, Bi Hua, who was outside the house, hurried in, "Two, two, calm your anger, why do you have to do this early in the morning, but what happened." ”

Cao Jinren closed his mouth at this time, hurriedly redrafted an official document, and hurriedly went out.

Bi Hua sighed, "Wu Gan, you don't have to care, Lao Cao is so temperamental, otherwise he would have been delegated to a real job a few years ago." It's just that why it's so noisy. ”

Thinking that the matter of this document could not be concealed after all, Wu Gen retold the origin of the matter. After hearing this, Bi Hua frowned, stroked his beard and thought about it, "It's not that there is no room for turning around in this matter, as long as you find a familiar county official and make up a document."

But where the original paperwork went, that's the most important thing. After all, this matter of money and food doesn't matter if it looks important, but if it is detected by someone with a heart, it can be used to deduce the head of the soldiers around Dingyuan City and the station. The matter must also be reported to the higher authorities, and the investigation must be carried out as soon as possible, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

Wu Gen was also confused, thinking carefully about yesterday's trip, he didn't encounter any special things and people. Suddenly, Wu Yan remembered that yesterday's documents were placed on the table, and he happened to be summoned to discuss the matter. It is only at this time that the envelope may have been tampered with.

After repeating his speculation, Bi Hua sighed: "There is such a possibility, but who would do such a thing." Forget it, I'd better go and report it first, and it would be nice if I chased it back. You can rest assured for the time being, and when I see the captain, I will defend you. After all, if something happens, I, the person in charge, can't escape. ”

Seeing Bi Hua say this, Wu Jian was helpless. After coming for such a long time, Captain Yuwen has not seen him once, and he has long forgotten about himself as a model in the army.

In the afternoon, Cao Jinren came back with a black face, ignoring Wu Gan. Bi Hua happened to push the door in at this time, "Lao Cao, where have you been this morning, you can't find it, how is the paperwork?" ”

Cao Jinren was stunned for a moment, looked up at Wu Gan, his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, but when he turned his head, his tone was already calm, "It's okay, I have a fellow villager who happens to be in the county guard's mansion, and I asked him to make up a document and handed it over." ”

"That's very good." Bi Hua also breathed a sigh of relief, "No matter what, just don't miss the distribution of food and salary, otherwise those who kill talents in the major battalions will not swallow us." ”

Seeing that the matter was revealed, calm was restored in the counselor's room again, but Wu Jian always felt that Cao Jinren was secretly looking at him from time to time.

On the third day, Bi Hua brought bad news.

Because of the loss of the paperwork this time, Wu Gen was transferred to Fa Cao, to put it bluntly, he was a messenger, and he could no longer stay in the counselor's room, and was transferred to a hut in the first courtyard, adjacent to the stable. But it was quieter, and he was the only one in the room.

Wu Yan was a little confused, if such a big thing happened, shouldn't he drive himself back to the Xiang Army, why did he stay in the mansion.

Every morning, I saw Wu Gan washing the horses there, and from time to time someone passed by, all whispering

"I heard that this is the model in the army, but he was demoted here and became an errand runner."

"What kind of bullshit is a model in the army, it is a model of washing horses, a bandit-born prodigal, occasionally defeating a waste of the Great Xia Kingdom, he doesn't know the height of the sky, the brothers kindly invited him to drink and pull a stinky face, he deserves to be unlucky."

"Hehe, a model for washing horses, it's quite appropriate, so can I be a model for drinking."

"Haha, that's natural, Brother Tai's alcohol consumption is famous in Dingyuan City."

For these ridicules, Wu Gan'an ignored them all, and diligently sent letters every day, almost touching the entire Dingyuan City. Sometimes, they have to travel far away to other counties and deliver official documents in Fuzhong. But there is a place in the city that cannot be visited.

That is the area in the south of the city around the Drum Mountain, where the mansions of the nobles in the city are located. Because of the beautiful scenery and the mountains and rivers, the nobles built private houses here.

On weekdays, unless a noble person is called, if a person below the middle of the city trespasses here, he will be punished with a cane or sent to prison, and if there is anything wrong, he will lose his head.

On weekdays, when he has nothing to do or rest, Wu Gen often goes to a secluded tavern in the south of the city and drinks some silently alone. The window of this tavern faces the Drum Mountain, which is the perfect place to see the mountain from afar.

At this time, the Drum Mountain, Saga, green, and waterfalls rushing, is the best time of the year.

From time to time, there are nobles, bringing friends and friends, or walking with a cane to enjoy the scenery, or singing with their feet, wandering in the lush shades, shuttling through the ethereal clouds.

There are also female dependents who travel together, dressed brightly, like flowers dotted with greenery. Here, these nobles finally did not need to be followed by slaves, and they seemed to be a little arbitrary.

I have come to the tavern many times, and even the shopkeeper knows its habits, and Wu Jian is generous every time, as long as possible, he will leave a place near the window for him.

On this day, it was rare to rain in the city, Wu Gan finished his errand, stepped on the twilight and came to the tavern again, and sat in the seat he was accustomed to.

The drizzle outside the window hit the bamboo leaves, dripping, and when half a pot of apricot blossom wine was about to go down, Wu Yan gradually became a little confused. Suddenly, the wind and rain became louder, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Wu Yan suddenly woke up.

"Shopkeeper, please warm a pot of wine and serve a plate of peanuts." A gentle middle-aged man's voice came.

Rubbing his eyebrows and drinking the residual wine in the cup, Wu Jian didn't pay attention to the movement behind him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhu, you haven't been here for a few days. Unfortunately, peanuts are available today, but the wine has been sold out. The shopkeeper greeted him warmly.

"It's a pity to have such a soul-breaking rain, but there is no apricot blossom wine, and I am full of sorrow and just waiting for the wine to be poured." The man was not angry, but joked with the shopkeeper.

Wu Yan turned his head to see that an elegant middle-aged man in a green shirt with a gentle face was talking to the shopkeeper. The man was holding a tung oil umbrella, and the hem of his clothes was already wet, and it seemed that he was also a good drinker, and he walked not close.

There is a square aura hidden in this person, but it is also warm, which makes people feel close at a glance. Seeing that there was no wine, the man said a few words and prepared to leave.

"This gentleman, there is half a pot of residual wine here, if you don't dislike it, why don't you come over and have a drink." Wu Gan suddenly felt ripples in his heart and opened his mouth to greet.

The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled warmly, and walked to Wu Gan's side, "Thank you little brother for the invitation, this night rain has hooked my wine bugs." Since this is the case, he will be shy and ask for a glass of wine to drink, and the wine money will naturally be paid. ”

"It's okay, it's Mr. Wu Gan today, and Mr. will make up for it next time, so I'll make a little cheaper." Wu Gen smiled and let Xiao Er put on the dishes and chopsticks and wine glass, and poured a glass for the man.

The two drank a cup of wine, and the man stopped for a while, as if he was reminiscing about the taste of wine, "Intoxicating people are not outside the rain and wine, the rain is the sound of the sky and the wine is sad, and sure enough, the apricot blossoms on a rainy night are endless, mellow and gloomy, such as drinking nectar." This little brother, I am here in the west, the surname Zhu is not displayed, today I thank the little brother for the kind invitation. ”

It turned out to be a teacher, Wu Gan's heart moved, raised his wine glass and said: "Although Wu Gan doesn't know a few big characters, he is the most respectful Mr. in his life, this glass of wine, I will clean it first." He raised his head and drank it down.

Lack of literacy has always been a hidden pain in Wu Gan's heart, in the past, when he was in the camp of the Xiang Army, there were a group of fighting men around him, but he didn't feel anything. Since entering the school governor's mansion, he can't even prepare a document, so he can only be a model for washing horses. Although I don't care about it on the face, I have been haunting it in my heart.

"Hehe, the little brother is cunning, this wine is to be invited back, if you drink one more glass, I will suffer more losses." Looking at the proud Wu Gan, the man smiled and quipped.

The sound of the rain outside the window gradually faded.

In the dimly lit tavern, Wu Gen and Zhu Buzhan sat opposite each other, raising their glasses and drinking, smiling and smiling.

After drinking three cups, Zhu Buzhan picked up a peanut with both hands, put it in his mouth and chewed it, "Why does the little brother drink alone, I see that you look depressed, but what is the difficulty?" ”

"Sir, just call me Wu Gan." The other party is as gentle as jade, Wu Genshao is a little restrained when dealing with such a person, "Mr. doesn't know where to open a school." ”

Zhu Buzhan smiled slightly and pointed to the side of the guide, "There is no other way to grow in life, you can only teach to make a living, and you can teach here." ”

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, the south is where the nobles live, could it be ......

Just wanted to get up, but was stopped by Zhu Buzhan, so he had to sit down carefully and asked tentatively, "Mr. is a nobleman." ”

"What a nobleman, a nobleman, is a teacher, just stained with some ancestral light, don't be in a bad mood for drinking, come and come, drink another drink." Zhu Buzhan didn't care, he actually poured a cup for Wu Gan, and motioned to drink it first.

Wu Yan was in a daze at this time, what a nobleman, for the first time in his life, a nobleman poured wine for himself, and he was busy getting the wine glass, and accidentally, the wine glass fell on the table, and he hurriedly took the sleeve to wipe it.

Zhu Buzhan smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's just that I don't have to tell my identity, otherwise I won't be able to drink here." ”

Wu Yan nodded again and again, suddenly blessed his heart, and said: "Sir, I don't want you to invite you for the next drink, can the kid read with you, and often hold the pot for Mr." ”

Zhu Buzhan smiled and didn't answer, Wu Gan, who was watching, felt furious in his heart, and waited for a moment before he spoke: "Wu Gan, but what kind of model Wu Gen is in the army?" ”

"Ahh Wu Gen is now extremely disgusted by the word model, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't know what the other party meant, so he had to say in amazement: "It's the kid." ”

"Hahaha, I'm not fortunate enough to be able to drink with the model. You became famous in a war and protected the majesty of Zhao State, which is really worthy of the admiration of the people, but I never thought that you would be so young, it is really terrifying in the future. ”

"Mr. said that he was joking, he was just a rough man, it was okay to fight and kill, I really didn't dare to call myself a model, don't laugh at me anymore."

"Tomorrow you can enroll."

"Hmmm! Well? Tomorrow? ”

Wu Yan raised his head with a look of disbelief.
