After being cut off from his wealth, Chen Qingshan drank three cups of tea in a row after returning home, and then he still threw the teacup in anger, and then walked to the study and wrote a letter to send it to Fucheng.
Not long after Chen Xiancheng came back, Master Gou Yuantong and five or six officials from the county yamen came to him to discuss the new county order in the yamen.
An Chuxia was taken to the back office where each county order lived, and looked at the chaotic courtyard where no one lived for a long time, and suddenly remembered the young man who did things in an orderly manner.
After coming back to his senses, An Chuxia hooked the corners of his mouth, and looked at Liu Xue who was fishing with a wet cloth over there, An Chuxia walked over to help Liu Xiang remove the clutter in the room.
Liu Xue continued to rub and touch unexpectedly, as for moving things and sweeping the yard, she was unwilling to do it.
Originally, there should be Chen Qingshan, the county magistrate, today to arrange a reception banquet for An Chuxia, the newly appointed county order, but I don't know if I forgot it, or I simply felt that An Chuxia's county order could not be done for a long time, so this link was omitted.
An Chuxia didn't care, it was obvious that even if she cared at this time, no one cared.
No one helped manage the house An Chuxia had to come by himself, and there was no need to make more arrangements for the place to live, where the owner should live, and where the next person should live did not need An Chuxia to arrange, they found a place to live by themselves.
This time, because there were fewer people and more houses, Liu Xiang and Liu Xue chose to live separately when they picked a room in the back row.
Liu Xiang pursed her lips and didn't say anything, she should feel more comfortable and free to live alone.
Liu Xiang ignored her, cleaned the room she lived in, and moved her own futon in.
Liu Xue didn't move at first, but when Liu Xiang tidied up her house, she ran over and asked her to help.
Although Liu Xiang had a good temper, she didn't get used to her, she just said that the adults still needed to tidy up, so she turned the crescent moon door and walked to the main house.
Liu Xue pursed her lips angrily, complaining: "If you don't want to help, just say it, the adults are the first to clean it up, find a reason... I don't know if I'm looking for a better one. ”
But Liu Xiang has already walked out, and even if she hears it, she won't pay attention to her!
Mrs. Wu is still a cook, and Da Zhuang is a part-time janitor to fetch water and chop wood for his mother-in-law Wu.
Zuo Wang and An Zixi chose to live in the west wing by themselves, so that the sun would shine into the room early in the morning.
In this way, the main courtyard is occupied alone in early summer, and when the front and back yards are inserted at night, it becomes an independent courtyard.
It took everyone a whole day to clean this not very big yard, and dinner was bought by An Chuxia and Zuo Wang from the restaurant on the street, which was also considered to be a celebration for moving into a new home.
The next day, the early summer was busy, and collecting taxes was the top priority, which was already approaching October, and according to the imperial court's regulations, before November, the autumn taxes must be collected.
An Chuxia came to the county office early, and no one came when the sun rose.
Finally, when it was nearly noon, a man of forty or fifty years old and dressed in a black official uniform walked in from outside.
When he saw An Chuxia sitting in the office lobby, he looked stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you?" ”
An Chuxia smiled and said, "I am a newly transferred county commander from the imperial court. ”
When the man heard that she was the female county magistrate that someone said yesterday, he hurriedly saluted: "Xiaguan Wang Yong is in charge of the tax of commercial taxes. ”
An Chuxia let him get up with a soft expression and asked, "Do you all usually come to the yamen so late?" ”
Wang Yong saw that An Chuxia's expression did not look like he was angry, so he said honestly: "In the past, officials would come to the yamen early to order the yamen, but now everyone will only come to report and go through the motions when they learn that Chen County Cheng is coming to the county office. ”
"Does Chen Xiancheng often not come to the county office? So where did he deal with the affairs of the yamen? ”
"It's... This ......" Wang Shui Ke looked a little afraid, obviously not wanting to answer this question.
An Chuxia didn't embarrass him, and said something else: "Where did the main book of the county government go?" ”
"The chief secretary of the county government has gone home a year ago, and now Chen Xiancheng is in charge of all matters in the county."
An Chuxia smiled slightly, thinking that the chief secretary of the county yali had resigned, and if he did not report to the authorities in time, someone would be sent from above to fill the vacancy of the main book.
Another way to serve is that there are people in the county government who have a particularly strong ability to do things, and if they are strongly recommended by the county order, they can also report to the prefecture or provincial capital to take up the post.
Only she knows why An Chuxia laughed at this time.
An Chuxia chatted a lot with the king tax in charge of commercial taxation, and talked a lot about some things he could say or he was willing to say in the county government and Wei County.
There were still some things that could not be said, and at noon in the early summer, Zuo Wang was asked to go to the restaurant to buy a table of food and wine, and left Wang Yong to eat together in the front office.
There were a few people who had been in the barracks who had poor drinking, and Wang Yong was soon flattered and persuaded by Zuo Wang, and he couldn't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and said what should be said and what should not be said.
Wang Yong was willing to talk to An Chuxia about some things in the yamen, and that was because he, the tax ambassador in charge of commercial taxes, was now under a name, and the real power had already been taken over by the cronies recruited by Chen County.
Looking at the drunken Wang Yong, An Chuxia asked Zuo Wang to be careful and send him back, so as not to let Chen Xiancheng's people find out that Wang Yong had been in contact with them, she just wanted to find out the situation in the county government from Wang Yong's mouth and didn't want to harm him.
An Chuxia returned to the place where Houya lived, and when she walked in, she saw that the courtyard was cleaned up by Liu Xiang and Wu Po's mother and son, and it was cleaner and tidier.
When passing by the courtyard, she called Liu Xiang and Wu Po in, took out ten taels of silver to Liu Xiang, and said, "You already know some basic words, and you have been learning from me for a while.
In the future, you have to write a good menu of what dishes you want to eat at home every day, and Wu Po will receive money from you to buy them.
It's the same with buying other items, you have to write them down in the ledger so that you know where every money is spent. ”
Liu Xiang pursed her somewhat thick lips, and still reached out to take the silver two: "It's an adult, I will definitely keep the account." ”
An Chuxia said to Mrs. Wu next to her: "Mrs. Wu, tell Liu Xiang what you buy back every day so that she can make it easy to enter the account." ”
"Yes!"
An Chuxia took a look at the cleanliness of the house and outside the house, and took out the copper plate from the purse and rewarded it, Liu Xiang and Wu Po's mother and son each had fifty copper plates.
Don't look at fifty copper plates, it's not much, it's a man's salary, and he may not be able to earn it all day.
Da Zhuang's share was accepted by Mrs. Wu's mother, and after the two of them saluted and thanked them, they saw that An Chuxia had nothing to do with them here, so they wanted to quit and do their own thing.
At this time, Liu Xue, who was standing outside the door and eavesdropping for a while, walked in with a blue face and did not salute An Chuxia, her eyes were slightly red and she looked at An Chuxia with grievances.
An Chuxia's face was calm, but her eyes became cold, she picked up the black tea brewed by Liu Xiang, took a sip gently, and only drank the tea indifferently and did not speak.
