Chapter 19: Yearning

After that, the canteen, dormitory and other places are simple, after all, in Wu Minggao's opinion, the most important thing is the library, but in Yi Shuyuan, it is like visiting a famous place, everywhere I feel extraordinarily novel, a county office, it is really beyond Yi Shuyuan's imagination.

In Yi Shuyuan's opinion, it seemed that the main bookkeeper was not too busy, Wu Minggao took him around for a long time, and then took Yi Shuyuan back to the library again and began to explain some general details of the compilation requirements.

In fact, there is not much content, just copy the previous form of county records, and it is not to copy all the previous county records, theoretically only need to repair these 20 years.

However, the content involved in the work is not limited to the library, and it may be necessary to walk around the county, and even borrow some files and the like, which can be said to be neither as troublesome as Yi Shuyuan thought, nor more troublesome than he thought.

When he was almost done, Wu Minggao asked Yi Shuyuan to familiarize himself with the environment, and when Yi Shuyuan heard this, he first looked at the bookshelf, and then tried the desk, chair or something, but sometimes he would look up at the door, thinking why didn't this master book leave?

Of course, he didn't leave because there was something, and Wu Minggao, who was standing on the side, couldn't bear it anymore in his heart, so he raised it a little twisted.

"Mr. Yi, the poem you wrote last time was almost ......"

Yi Shuyuan put down a book in his hand and looked at the main book.

"I don't know what Lord Wu is referring to?"

Wu Minggao smiled.

"Mr. hasn't paid yet!"

Yi Shuyuan's heart cleared suddenly, patted his head and said.

"Yes, yes, but there is no engraving now, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to make up for the payment without a seal, and I will prepare a seal after a while, and then make up for the adult!"

"Then I'll rest assured, oh, Mr. Yi and now this is familiar, don't go to the restaurant at noon today, I have set lunch in Tongxin Building, it can be regarded as a pick-up for Mr."

"Thank you, sir!"

Everyone has done this, how can Yi Shuyuan not be interested, of course he agreed, and he really wants to try the dishes of Tongxinlou.

"Then I'll go to deal with official business first, and then send someone to invite me before noon!"

After Wu Minggao finished speaking, he and Yi Shuyuan saluted each other, and then left with a smile.

Yi Shuyuan, who stayed in the library, secretly sweated, although he knew that this master book was polite and respectful, but it made him feel something about officialdom, and this officialdom was really troublesome.

No one bothered him, Yi Shuyuan took a few old county chronicles and sat down to read them, and the right to browse them as novels was a novel.

Yuanjiang County said that it is not big or small, of course, there are many things recorded in the county annals, Yi Shuyuan thought that there were not many interesting things, and he thought that most of them were repairing such and such buildings, repairing such and such facilities such as embankments, and what decrees were issued.

But I really opened it and looked at it, only to find that in fact, the county chronicle is also a very valuable book, just look at the title page of a few brochures to understand that the county chronicle covers history, geography, customs, people, culture and education, products, climate and other content, which is a comprehensive summary of the county every ten or twenty years.

Of course, interesting things will also be written down, such as Yi Shuyuan flipping through and actually seeing his name.

"Hey, that's kind of ironic......"

The county chronicle records that more than 40 years ago, there was a prodigy in Yuanjiang County, who could write at the age of four and write at the age of six, and never forgot it, but in the end he ended up stupid after a serious illness, which is embarrassing.

"Huh?"

After turning over his part and passing a few pages, Yi Shuyuan suddenly let out a surprised voice.

"The villagers were lost in the mountains and couldn't get out for a long time, but fortunately the mountain gods helped them get out of trouble......"

The mountain god recorded in the county chronicles appears in the form of a woodcutter, Yi Shuyuan rubs his now smooth chin, and tilts his head sideways to think about the appearance of a person, the possibility that the woodcutter is the mountain god has greatly increased, no, he is!

No, I'll have to go to the mountains in a while!

Yi Shuyuan flipped through it little by little, and unconsciously many books had been spread out on the table.

An errand came in a hurry, but when he arrived at the door of the library, he slowed down, the Confucian student in the room was quietly flipping through the books, and the entire spacious table was almost unable to put down, this Mr. Yi, so attentive!

"Mr. Yi."

Yi Shuyuan raised his head and looked at the door, and the messenger hurriedly spoke.

"Lord Bookkeeper asked me to invite you over, saying that we would go to Tongxin Building together."

"Okay, I'm tired!"

Yi Shuyuan hurriedly got up, he was already hungry.

-----------------

Outside the Tongxin Building, Wu Minggao and Yi Shuyuan walked together, talking as they walked, obviously talking happily, and the shopkeepers outside the building hurriedly stepped forward to greet them politely.

"It's Lord Wu, please come in! Shopkeeper, Lord Wu is hereβ€”"

Wu Minggao raised his hand with a smile and walked into the building with Yi Shuyuan, and in an instant, the sound that could be heard outside became more lively.

The shopkeeper quickly brushed the sense of existence.

"Lord Wu, the upstairs seat is ready, so let the kitchen serve the food?"

"Does Mr. Yi want to use the tea first or serve it directly?"

Wu Minggao asked Yi Shuyuan with a smile, but Yi Shuyuan really didn't want to be too troublesome, he thought it was good on the side of Confucianism, and he couldn't learn the pedantic rules, so he said with a wry smile.

"Hungry in the lower belly, my lord, let's eat directly."

Wu Minggao was slightly surprised, but he still smiled and nodded, and even introduced Yi Shuyuan in the curious eyes of the shopkeeper.

"This is Mr. Yi."

"Oh, Mr. Yi!"

The shopkeeper made a salute, and Yi Shuyuan could only return the salute, can we eat?

After the courtesy was over, I finally went upstairs and sat on the elegant seat by the window, where I could see the school and half of the county government on the left, and the most prosperous street in Yuanjiang County on the right.

Braised river fish, stewed pork ribs, braised water and braised radish......

Delicious meals full of aroma also came up one after another, just smelling the smell made Yi Shuyuan hungry, which is really a hard dish for him now!

"Mr. Yi, we all have official business, and it is inconvenient to drink during the day, Wu uses tea instead of wine, which can be regarded as washing the dust for Mr.!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Wu Ming raised the teacup and drank with Yi Shuyuan, who also raised a cup, but Yi Shuyuan put down the teacup and saw that the other party was still pouring tea, so he directly grabbed the chopsticks and said with a wry smile.

"My lord, if you fill too much water, you can't hold food, Yi is really hungry!"

"Well, let's dine then......

"Okay!"

Just waiting for your words, Yi Shuyuan directly got off the chopsticks after speaking, sandwiched a large piece of pork ribs and put it in his mouth, and suddenly felt that the salty fragrance hit the taste buds, and couldn't help but want to bite the bones, and then tried the braised fish, and at the same time as he used his tongue to sip out the fine bones, the fish was already flowing freely in his mouth.

Yi Shuyuan's movements are not vulgar, but the speed of the chopsticks is really not slow, and he admires while eating.

"It's delicious!"

Wu Minggao looked at Yi Shuyuan with a slight stunnedness, but seeing that his movements were natural and his expression was stretched, he was really moved by the food, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Yi is innocent and free, no wonder he can write such calligraphy!"

"Lord Wu doesn't have to be polite, if you don't eat Yi, you'll finish eating."

Yi Shuyuan was eating delicious food and relaxed, and when he said this, Wu Minggao didn't like it in his heart, he seemed to understand the true temperament of Mr. Yi.

"Okay, Wu will also try it...... Well, today's braised fish is especially delicious! ”

The two no longer stick to their identities and etiquette, and eat and drink together.

The guys in the restaurant who could see this scene were secretly speechless, they had never seen Lord Wu eat so openly, and the two of them had eaten several bowls of rice alone today.

At the end of the meal, Yi Shuyuan was extremely satisfied, and Wu Minggao also felt very comfortable.

On the way back, the chat between the two was obviously much more natural, at least in Yi Shuyuan's opinion, no longer so rigid in etiquette, too respectful, and no longer so tired.

When Yi Shuyuan returned to the library, Wu Minggao also returned to his official case in a comfortable mood, rubbing his satisfied stomach, he hadn't been so comfortable for a long time.

If Wu Minggao's respect for Yi Shuyuan was because of the other party's magic and knowledge, then now he really wants to trade Shuyuan, not the kind of acquaintance, not the kind of superiors and subordinates, not the kind of greedy vanity for the sake of Mobao, but really be a friend!

Or that kind of fresh and natural feeling, which is also a yearning in Wu Minggao's heart.
