138 escaped
An Chuxia's face also became a little ugly when he heard this, but he didn't expect that before he arrived at the Yamen of Wei County, he heard that the county man who would work with him in the future was such a capable person.
The man fell silent for a short time, and soon after that, Village Chief Zhao said puzzledly: "From the new county order three years ago, I don't know what happened to scare me away, why didn't the imperial court send a new county order." ”
Village Chief Zhao was puzzled by this, An Chuxia really knew.
From being pitted by the old emperor again to coming here, the environment is not good, the geography is poor, and the birds don't to make the county order.
She intended to inquire about the affairs of Wei County, because every time the imperial court wanted to send someone here to be a county magistrate, I heard that three people had been sent here as a county magistrate a few years ago.
One of them died of illness, and then the county magistrate who came to take office was robbed and killed by bandits as soon as he entered the boundary of Wei County, and the last county magistrate who was here three years ago also heard that he went crazy after coming here for a year.
Everyone who was sent here by the imperial court to be a county magistrate, who dared to come to Wei County as a county magistrate after inquiring about these things clearly, and it was not because they thought that their lives had been too long.
Those who have a relationship would rather be transferred to the eighth or ninth grade to be a petty official, and it doesn't matter that they will happen to get sick at this time, avoid this appointment, and wait for the next opportunity.
This is not a coincidence that she bumped into the hard stone of the Pan family, even if the old emperor's heart is not so black, he will not pit her to this place.
If she is transferred to a slightly better place, I am afraid that the Pan family will not agree, after all, she has seen the eldest son of Pan with her own eyes, and the ass that she ordered to spank blossoms.
Mrs. Pan was also forced by her to go to the long street and personally distribute compensation money to the people, and now An Chuxia thinks about it and feels that she was looking for death at that time.
Later, An Chuxia heard a few people say that Chen Xiancheng used a special bucket larger than the standard bucket to collect taxes, and resold the overcollected grain from the people to the large grain merchants in the county who were close to him.
In the early summer, they forgot the time, and it wasn't until the old village chief's family came to call for dinner, that they found that it was already evening.
An Chuxia and Zuo Wang got up and said that they were leaving, but they were left behind by the enthusiastic old village chief and a few other villagers, only saying that there was no reason for the village to let the guests go to the meal.
An Chuxia had to say that there were still a few companions who did not come, but the old village chief did not listen at all, and only said that they would invite him to his house as guests.
The old village chief said so, An Chuxia was not good at saving his face, so he had to order Zuo Wang, who had been beside him, to tell An Zixi to bring Liu Xiang Liu Xue and Wu Pozi's mother and son over.
When the old village chief saw three carriages parked in front of his house, and when they got out of the car and looked at the servants who were obviously maids, Liu Xiang Liu Xue and Wu Pozi, mother and son.
Only then did he really realize that the woman his family was entertaining today was probably not an ordinary person.
At that time, he called Girl Jun just politely, that is, An Chuxia did not avoid this title, and he didn't feel anything.
At this time, the old village chief thought that maybe the woman with extraordinary bearing in front of him was really a famous girl.
It's just that they, the poor county magistrates, have long since fallen, not to mention the girl who studied and became famous, she has never been.
There are not two male showmen with merit and fame, and they still have money in their families and go to other places to study before they are admitted to Xiucai.
Maybe the old village chief said something to his family, and it was obvious that the old village chief's wife and son, and the daughter-in-law were more enthusiastic about An Chuxia.
At the dinner table, the old village chief said embarrassedly: "There are no good dishes in the village to entertain distinguished guests, please bear with me." ”
Several other villagers looked at An Chuxia and Zuo Wang, who were at the same table, and An Zixi refused to let his cousin let him share the table, and volunteered to take Liu Xiang and them to sit at another table to eat.
An Chuxia smiled indifferently, grabbed a chopstick and stir-fried vegetables and said: "What delicacies from the mountains and seas, how can there be our home-grown vegetables, they are tender and delicious." ”
Everyone smiled when they heard An Chuxia say this, whether it was true or not, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively.
The only plate of meat dishes on the table was the old village chief's wife, who reluctantly killed an old hen that laid eggs.
An Chuxia, who was not very greedy, saw out of the corner of his eyes that the two little heads at the door of the hall were looking at them, and the little guy's two eyes were staring at the chicken on the table.
An Chuxia smiled and beckoned to them, and the two five or six-year-old children began to retract their heads in fright.
When the village chief saw this scene, he originally thought that his child would be looked down upon if he didn't understand the rules, but he didn't expect An Chuxia's expression to be displeased.
I saw An Chuxia take the empty bowl used to put vegetables next to him, sandwich most of the half bowl of chicken, and let the old village chief's daughter-in-law who came in to add food to the guests serve it to the two children.
The old village chief's daughter-in-law looked at her father-in-law, and after seeing him nodding, she smiled shyly at An Chuxia and took it.
Most of the farmhouse meals are like this, as long as it is not a woman who is the head of the house, the guests at home will not be served by women and children.
An Chuxia also saw such a custom when he went out to play in modern times. Especially in the eighties and nineties, such customs were even more severe in the south.
After eating, it was already dark, and An Chuxia thought that he would stay here for a night when he stayed to eat.
In order to make room for them, several sons of the old village chief's family went out to find a place to sleep at their acquaintances in the village.
The old village chief's daughter-in-law quietly entered the house and pulled the old village chief out, and after a while, Liu Xiang came in and said to An Chuxia that when she came back from the toilet, she seemed to hear that the village chief's daughter-in-law said to the old village chief that there were not so many quilts at home, and she didn't know what to do.
An Chuxia whispered a few words to Liu Xiang, and after a while, the old village chief's daughter-in-law walked in with a red face and saw Liu Xiang laying out the futon that she had picked up from the carriage.
Said embarrassedly: "In the past few years, there have been more and more harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the village, and the bucket of collecting grain taxes has become bigger and bigger.
I can't even take care of my stomach all year round, and no one has spare money to buy things.
There are few quilts at home, which makes the girl smile. ”
An Chuxia smiled and didn't care about this, she could see that the old village chief's family was good, she opened her mouth to comfort: "These will pass, and good days will always come!" ”
The old village chief's daughter-in-law saw An Chuxia's face, there was no contempt or displeasure, sat down to talk to her about some things in the village, and left when it was too early.
Before leaving, he said to An Chuxia: "I have already let my daughter-in-law heat up the kang, so the girl should rest early!" ”
"Okay, you guys should rest early, too!"
At night in the village, there was no sound except for a few howls from the rhubarb.
An Chuxia didn't expect that his visit on a whim would let them escape.
Originally, the post house where they would stay tonight was broken into by a group of bandits for no reason~
