XXXVIII. New Students
"Calm down, calm down, Mingfu, you can't lift the table, how can you play if you lift the table? It's not good for everyone, it's not good! ”
Diao Xiancheng was anxious and trembled.
"Without them, that's the biggest benefit."
"But you don't want to be in the Ming Mansion, and you don't follow the procedures to transfer troops. The son of a daughter can't sit down, how can the Ming Mansion exchange lives with them. ”
"Why do I think it's very profitable?"
"......" Diao Xiancheng was speechless, "You are the Qipin County Commander, you are the Jinshi Tanhualang, and you are the scholar whose name is remembered by our Empress of the Great Zhou, and the future is limitless, how can you be ruined by them." ”
"Finished?"
Diao Xiancheng cautiously looked at his face, and said tentatively: "The lower official has finished speaking......
Ouyang Rong nodded, grabbed the hilt of the sword and pressed it down, wanting to cut off the head of this "old dog", and the frightened Diao Xiancheng immediately collapsed and cried: "There are still ......"
"Say."
Diao Xiancheng turned his head to block his face and dodge the blade, and said hurriedly:
"If the Ming Mansion is gone, what should I do if there is a corrupt official in the next county order, not only will the grain and silver from the Ming Mansion be lost, but now the disaster relief camps on the outskirts of the city are estimated to be forcibly demolished, and all the hard work of the Ming Mansion these days will be destroyed.
"Mingfu, don't you know, the previous few were all bastards who only knew how to make money, and finally came to you, the lord of the blue sky, and still counted on you to uphold justice, one for one is simply too much to promote them, can't you just spare them so simply......
"So the Ming Mansion must not be impulsive, be calm! If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood......"
Diao County's anxious mouth smacked, and after a meal of explanations, he found that the man in front of him had no movement, he carefully put down his palm, looked up, and saw that the young county magistrate didn't know when his face calmed down, and he was looking at him silently.
"Ming... Prefecture? ”
"Full of mouths, Lord Diao wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"
"......" Diao County was stunned, and the test... What is Research?
But before he could ask, he felt a lightness on his body.
Ouyang Rong had already stood up, lowered his head and quietly patted the ash on the hem of his clothes.
Diao Xiancheng, who escaped death, quietly wiped his sweat, the eyes of the man in front of him just now were really terrifying, and the experience of observing words and expressions over the years told him that if he didn't answer just now, he would really have to move his head...... Anyway, what kind of fairy county order is coming from Longcheng County, you outsiders call this a righteous gentleman?
Diao Xiancheng scolded in his heart, carefully avoided the terrible sword edge around his neck, got up, pulled out the short sword again, and handed the short sword to Ouyang Rong with both hands.
The latter looked at him, took it with the same face as usual, put it in the sheath, and dropped a sentence when he turned around:
"Master Diao is indeed used to kneeling, but there is a sentence just now that makes some sense."
"Dare to ask Mingfu, which sentence is it? The lower officials figured it out, and they could say more about what the Ming Mansion likes to hear in the future. ”
Ouyang Rong squinted at Qin Duwei, Little Junior Sister and Yan Liulang who were coming over, and whispered: "It's too cheap for them to lift the table......"
"Just don't lift the table, just don't lift the table...... Mingfu Takami! Diao Xiancheng nodded with satisfaction.
Ouyang Rong didn't look at him, glanced at the dark night before dawn, and suddenly said loudly: "General Qin." ”
"The last general!"
"Make a fire and make a pot, feed the millet to the horses, and let the brethren have a good meal before dawn."
"Yes!" Qin Duwei didn't ask much, and immediately went to execute.
When Diao Xiancheng heard this, his eyes almost darkened, didn't he say that he wouldn't lift the table? Why do you still gather soldiers and horses to eat "Zhuang Xing Meal"?!
"It's been a hard night, so let's go eat together."
Ouyang Rong whispered to the little junior sister and Yan Liulang, who also looked confused, and then turned around and left alone, without explaining.
At present, whether the table in Longcheng County is lifted or not, it is he who has the final say, and the Liu family and the other twelve families are kneeling to ask for food.
……
Ouyang Rong used to go to the disaster relief camp on the outskirts of the city every morning, and then go back to the government office to work.
Even though so much happened last night.
Today is no exception. After Ouyang Rong left the official office, he subconsciously walked here again.
The relief camps are full of refugees who have been displaced by the floods, and the poor are not qualified to sleep in, and there is no entertainment at night, so they go to bed early and wake up early, and not everyone is like Diao Xiancheng.
So every morning, the camp that had been silent all night seemed to suddenly recover, and it was the busiest time of the day.
Ouyang Rong likes this kind of vitality.
This is the most real pulse of this county in the morning, not the pipa vocal music of Yuanminglou, the drunken gold fans of high-ranking families, and the solemnity of Longcheng County.
At the gate of the camp, he distributed the dates, wheat candy and other snacks stuffed by his aunt to the children passing by, and then went to find a hill where he could bask in the morning sun and sit down, which was actually an old place.
This time, Ouyang Rong found that another group of children were following behind him, and he didn't dare to step forward in fear, as if he was used to it, he waved his hand and took the initiative to call them in front of him.
Ouyang Rong didn't seem to be affected by the accident in the East Treasury last night.
He rubbed his stiff and tired face, turned around and pretended to be serious, "Don't move yet, let me guess...... Okay, are you here to bribe the official again? If you don't learn well at a young age, you still have to grow up, and you can't go to heaven......"
A few of the younger children cowered behind the older ones in fright, and the latter quickly explained with a red face.
Ouyang Rong couldn't help laughing, pretending to frown and sighing: "I said that I didn't take a stitch and a thread, but I came to feed the official with pickled radishes every day, hey, there are bad people in the crowd......"
criticized in his mouth, but the hand of the young county magistrate was not idle, and directly sent them a few bags of pickled radishes with a smile, touching his head here, and caring a few words there, if it weren't for the fact that these children didn't have to study, he would have to send them some homework...... After a while, Ouyang Rong let go of the children with restrained but happy faces.
In fact, this is also a daily routine, and the big ladies and girls in the camp often find opportunities to "feed" since they know that a certain Junxian Ling likes to eat pickled radish.
At first, they all came by themselves, but then they seemed to find that the handsome county commander was a little thin-skinned, and every time he was surrounded and teased by them, he blushed and began to walk around them...... So these ladies were empathetic and asked the children of the family to send them instead.
Ouyang Rong was actually quite indifferent to the kind of government and people in the film and television before, but after falling on him, he found that it was really fragrant.
Just when his thoughts were wandering, someone behind him suddenly shouted timidly: "Master." ”
Ouyang Rong turned his head to look and saw a familiar small body.
"Ah Qing? What are you doing here. ”
The young girl with the tattoo on her forehead is still wearing the old clothes from the past, with a lot of shabby patches, but she is neat and tidy, and her sunburned face is also a little healthy wheat-colored, this is a kind of girl who looks clean as a white cloud at a glance, and only the green water and green mountains that have not been polluted in this era can give birth to such a watery girl.
"Ah...... Ah Qing came to return the old man's clothes...... ...... service"
Under his gaze, the little girl stammered in the first sentence, and then seemed to muster up the courage, raised her little head, and stared at him with big spiritual eyes without blinking, and said crisply: "Listen to them, the master often comes here in the morning, and Ah Qing comes...... But it seems that the master didn't come yesterday, so I waited all morning...... But today's lord is finally here! ”
Ah Qing took a step forward cautiously, lowered his head, and handed over a neatly folded shirt with both hands, which was put on by Ouyang Rong last time when he took off his clothes and misunderstood her, and then he forgot about this dress, but he didn't expect this little girl to come in person.
"There was a banquet at noon yesterday, so I didn't come." Ouyang Rong was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm a little sorry, I've worked hard for you." ”
He took it with both hands, and he caught a glimpse of the sleeves of the shirt as if they were embroidered with some beautiful embroidery, and he smiled a little in his heart.
"It's not hard." Ah Qing blushed, looked down at the upper, and the two were speechless for a while.
Then, the girl with the word "Yue" on her forehead seemed to think of something, and her little face was a little excited:
"By the way, master, the magic prescription you gave, my mother and I give it to my brother every day, and I also listen to your words, ventilate the room, and wrap less bedding...... Now my brother's condition is much better, and it is not as scary as before...... The old host also said that the elder brother had survived, and if he persevered, there was hope for recovery. ”
Ouyang Rong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." In fact, he directly asserted that Ah Shan could be good that day, just to give Ah Shan and his family confidence, and sometimes it is very important to give people a little "life" idea.
Ah Qing also said a lot of words of gratitude, and the two sat on the hillside and chatted for a while, but Ouyang Rong had something on his mind, and Ah Qing was also an introvert, so soon, the atmosphere quieted down, and Ah Qing glanced at the young county magistrate who was a little distracted with a smile, and took the initiative to leave.
Before leaving, Ouyang Rong saw the ribbon on the waist of the little girl's skirt, which seemed to be tied with the bow he had last time.
The hand is quite coincidental, I remember that Liu's mother seems to have mentioned that where Ah Qing works as an embroiderer to support her family...... He thought to himself.
Ouyang Rong looked at the back of the little girl leaving, and sat on the hillside for a while, waiting until the first sun warmed her body, as if some kind of strength had returned, and all the tiredness in her body or heart was swept away.
The young county commander stood up, holding a few bags of pickled radishes, and walked towards Longcheng County, which woke up in the morning light, without looking back.
"Isn't it just playing dirty under the table, who wouldn't be like that. No, a righteous gentleman has been starving to death for so long, so he has to take a bite of 'meat' first......"
