Chapter 50: The Kind Squire
Wei Hejia did not notice the subtlety of the atmosphere between the three sons, but respectfully waited for Wu Yunlin and the others to approach, then bowed his head and took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to hold Wu Yunlin's horse reins, and asked with the demeanor of a respected squire elder: "My lord, but Lord Wu Yunlin and Lord Wu?" β
Wu Yunlin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's right, this official is the newly appointed Zunyi County Commander Wu Yunlin, presumably you are Wei Hejia Wei Xiangxian, right?"
The official is not wearing an official robe, how does Wei Xiangxian know that the official is the newly appointed county commander? β
As soon as he finished asking, he was relieved, he brought a bunch of soldiers over, can't he see that he is the new county commander, and then his heart is relieved, the old man in front of him is kind and kind, and his hanging heart can finally be let go.
Wei Hejia humbly led the horse to Wu Yunlin, not at all like the old fox who settled Wu Yunlin's group before this, "Although the old man is clumsy, he also knows young talents, Wu Daren is a dragon and phoenix, young and promising, and he is far from being very human at a glance, so the little second child boldly blocks the way and leads the horse, even if he admits his mistake, he can also make friends with talents, why not?" β
Wu Yunlin was very comfortable when he heard this, and his guard was gone, and he said with a smile: "Having said that, the official seal and documents still have to be verified" After speaking, he asked for the official seal from the dumb behind him, and took the yellow silk presented by Wei Qi, extended the official seal on it, and then handed the document and the yellow silk to Wei Hejia together, so as to verify the true body.
Wei Hejia was relieved to see that Wu Yunlin had no doubt that he had stamped on the yellow silk, took the yellow silk and the document and looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he gave Wei Qi and the others a look, and returned the document to Wu Yunlin, and the yellow silk was handed to Wei Qi.
Chen Dao, the county Cheng Chen Dao, the chief bookkeeper Deng Xiang, and the subordinate officials have the history of Xu Lin, the patrol inspector, and the post Cheng also came to salute, which can be regarded as meeting his top boss.
"My lord, it's getting late, and the old man has already prepared a meal at home, I wonder if you can enjoy your face and move to the cold house as a guest?" Wei Hejia petitioned Wu Yunlin and said, "What do you think?" β
Wu Yunlin didn't think too much, and because he was tired from the journey, he felt that he really should take a good rest, so he nodded and said, "Then nag Wei Xiangxian." β
Wei Hejia hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Still holding Wu Yunlin's reins in his hand, he slowly walked towards the Wei family's farm.
In the crowd, Wei Qi looked at the majestic Wu Yunlin and sneered, now he is so majestic, he looks proud, he will feel good for a while, and then he pulled the second and third brothers who were watching the excitement and slowly retreated from the crowd.
Wei Xin originally wanted to break free of Wei Qi's hand, but when he thought of what Wei Hejia said about the overall situation, he endured his unhappiness and let the boss quietly pull him and Wei Xie into a small forest on the side of the road.
After Wu Yunlin and the others walked away, Wei Qi'an calmed down, walked to a strange stone in the small forest, and took out a small burden from behind the stone, which turned out to be a set of four treasures of the study.
"The third child comes here, straight-legged and bent over, I need to use your back as a table to write!" Wei Qi commanded, then untied a small water hyacinth from his waist, handed the burden to the second child along with the gourd, and said: Second brother, you are tired to help me grind. β
When Wei Xie heard this, he immediately ran over happily, bent down on the stone in front of his brother, and Wei Xin pouted, reluctantly took the kettle and baggage, and slowly grinded, he wanted to see what kind of fame Wei Qi was going to make.
After Wei Qi arranged it, he took out the previous Huang Juan from the placket pocket on his chest, and rubbed it on the corner, Huang Juan's side revealed a gap, Wei Qi tore it off, and took out a white silk, which was printed with a bright official seal.
Then Wei Qi put Huang Juan close to his body, and put the white silk on the back of the third child, took the brush from the third hand, lightly dipped it in some black ink, and then held his breath, and put the pen on the white silk to walk the dragon and snake, a big book, in one go, and forged an official document in a snap of his fingers.
After reading the content of the document, the third said on the side that he understood Wei Qi's plan. "My lord, this is the old mansion, and I have sent someone to inform the family to prepare the meal, just waiting for the adults to enter the table." After leading Wu Yunlin and the others into a wealthy farmstead, Wei Hejia stopped at a bluestone compound.
"Well said, well said." Wu Yunlin nodded with a smile, then turned over and dismounted hard, accompanied by Wei Hejia, took Dumb and Zhao Kuo, and led many soldiers into the compound.
He now has no previous fears, only feel that the people of Zunyi County are simple and hospitable, although they suffered a military rebellion not long ago, but this farm is quite rich, it seems that this Zunyi County has also recovered from the plunder early, and it is a good thing that he is an official in governance.
How did the naΓ―ve Wu Yunlin know that the reason why the farm here is rich is because the Wei family took advantage of the vacuum of power after the banditry to build it in the fish and meat township, and every brick and tile here is full of blood and tears of bankrupt farmers.
Wei Hejia obediently led Wu Yunlin to the door of the hall, paused and blamed himself:
"My lord, the old house is narrow, and it can't accommodate the many officers and soldiers of the adults, I wonder if you can move to the next courtyard and sit down? In this way, it is also convenient for the old family to entertain. β
Having said that, Zhou Bingtou, who has a lot of experience, did not nod in agreement, but had an extra heart, after all, they are all veterans, and they are not good at anyone, and they obey their words, so they laughed and said:
"What do you entertain or not, our soldiers are all coarse, and the work is not so fine, since the house can't accommodate it, just move a few tables and sit in the courtyard, and the courtyard is cool in the open air!"
Dumb and Zhao Kuo also persuaded Wu Yunlin: "Yes, master, Zhou Bingtou and they just sit in the courtyard, they are all rough people, and they are more restrained when they enter the house, besides, they are all in the courtyard, and it is convenient to go out and talk about anything." β
His words also implied that he would follow Wu Yunlin into the house to take care of him.
Wu Yunlin didn't think much about it, he was a newcomer to modern times, where could he guess the careful thinking of this group of people, he only felt that his subordinates had said so, so be it, so he agreed.
Seeing this, Wei Hejia wanted to say a few more words to fight for it, but when he saw the dog, he was stunned and said:
"Stunned, why are you still standing stupidly? Didn't you hear what the leader said, let's eat in the courtyard, why don't we hurry up and move the table, we are such a large group of people, how can we be embarrassed to keep Old Man Wei's family busy? β
After listening to it, he also felt that it was a truth, so he replied to the dog first:
"I have a name, my name is Wang Lingzhi, the county lord just got it for me, don't call me stunned."
Then he came to Wei Hejia and asked: "The dog is right, I can't keep bothering your family, where is the table, I will move it, I have the strength!" β
When the dog heard this, he spat at the feet of the stunned man, and scolded with a smile:
"With you, Wang Stunned Wa has become Wang Lingzhi, I'm Liu Zhongshan or Li Tou, I'll you, you're not stunned at all."
At the same time, Zhou Bingtou also shouted at the soldiers behind him:
"Pack up the guys on your body, don't show your tips, it's unlucky, those things don't have long eyes, don't hurt people." The last few words were accentuated by him.
Speaking of which, Wei Hejia would be a little ignorant if he was stubborn, and he was now next to the soldiers, although he had already made a plan, he was still a little flustered in his heart, after all, when he dealt with the soldiers before, those ** people had never been reasonable.
So he pretended to be kind and kind, and apologized:
"That old man is not good for his own hospitality first, and he will accompany him."
