Chapter Forty-Seven: A Hundred Schools of Thought Are Umbrellaed by the People
Last night, the pig demon corpse was transported back to the city and tossed for a night, and the four people who were tired for a day simply washed it, changed into the new clothes prepared by the Wang family, and slept in two by two in separate rooms.
Mei Daojia and Mu Zhicai slept in the same room as usual, although they had freshened up, how could the smell of the demon beast be easily washed off, the smell of blood on Mei Daojia's body could still be settled, and the smell on Mu Zhicai's body was still bad enough after washing, as if it was fished out of a pit, and Mei Daojia had a strange dream all night.
In the dream, he frowned and covered his nose and squatted on the edge of the pit, carrying a fishing rod and putting the hook into the pit to catch the fish in the pit, which stinked and smelled.
In the blink of an eye, the dream changed, and it turned into him sitting on the toilet and sweating profusely eating shabu mutton, in a rage, anyway, all night was accompanied by the smell, which made Mei Daojia in the dream a little suspicious whether he was asleep, fell under the bed, and rolled into the pit.
It was only after dawn that he fell asleep in a daze, and after squinting for a while, he was beating gongs and drums, so it was strange if he wasn't angry.
The winter morning was a little biting cold, and the sleepy-eyed Mei Daojia sat on the bed, tightened the quilt wrapped around her body, and glanced at it, he was alone in the house, where did Mu Zhicai go?
Mei Daojia looked up at the dazzling sunlight outside the house, am I still dreaming?
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a cold wind and the heavy scent of flowers blew in.
Mei Daojia shivered coldly, and Mu Zhicai, who was flushed, walked into the house with the fragrance of flowers, and said with a smile: "Wake up?
"Why is it so fragrant?" Mei Daojia sniffed and teased: "Why is your face so red, the Wang family is going to call you to be your son-in-law, sorry?"
Mu Zhicai had long been accustomed to Mei Daojia, who was a hanger, and smiled, but he looked down and sniffed the smell on his body quite proudly, and said: "It tastes good, the people of the Wang family have smoked it with incense!"
Last night, Mu Zhicai was also choked by the smell of his body, so he got up early and asked the Wang family to boil hot water, soak in a wooden barrel bath, and brush his body up and down with a brush, like shrimp only fished out of a pot of boiling water.
"Fragrant, really fragrant, more fragrant than last night, you hillbilly is so fragrant that you almost smoked the fat man to me!" Mei Daojia, who was dizzy from the smoke, covered her mouth and nose and rushed out of the house.
"Cut, Tu Baozi, you haven't even seen incense powder in your life!" Mu Zhicai took a sip and continued to smell the fragrance on his body intoxicated.
After grooming, Mei Daojia and the others followed the subordinates to the front yard, the courtyard was crowded with people, Xiao Tianyun and Tang Guomin were surrounded by a group of people who looked like squires in the center, and no one noticed the arrival of Mei Daojia and the others.
The squires smiled flatteringly and said flattering words, Tang Guomin still looked impatient for thousands of years, and Xiao Tianyun responded with a smile on his face and bowed his hands one by one.
Mu Zhicai couldn't squeeze in, stood on the edge of the crowd, stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look in, his eyes shining, quite envious of the feeling of the stars holding the moon.
Mei Daojia glanced at Mu Zhicai, with a helpless face, this kind of small scene can make you envious like this, you hillbilly, how can I take you out to mess around in the future!
Mei Daojia didn't plan to join in the excitement, the courtyard was densely packed with plaques sent by the squires, and Mei Daojia, who was idle, stepped forward to take a closer look with her hands behind her back.
The thick and solid logs are made into a plaque with a wide black background, and the convex carved text is painted with gold lacquer, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the atmosphere is magnificent.
Since he was pitted by Lu Jianren because of illiteracy, he had a shadow in his heart, and the things that others gave him with words had to be read carefully first.
"Eliminate harm for the people", "do the right thing for heaven", etc., are okay, they are all common, and there is no one who does not open his eyes to have a plaque such as "Gynecological Holy Hand" in it.
"Senior Brother Mei, how is it? These plaques are all right!" Wang Dafu came out of nowhere.
"It's okay, it's just not enough!"
"Not enough?" Wang Dafu was a little puzzled, and checked the plaque, "It's all made of black wood, it's quite heavy!"
"Portions, portions, not weights!" Mei Daojia gritted her teeth and gestured with her hands, looking like she hated iron but not steel.
"What kind of weight?" Wang Dafu was circled, and it was the first time he heard that the plaque should have a weight.
"Alas!" Mei Daojia rolled her eyes, she is still the son of a rich family, why is she so unreasonable.
"Do you think, Xiao Tang, two senior brothers, you have to rely on this merit to fight for the opportunity to join Heavenly Star City!"
"Just these few plaques can make those big people in the Heavenly Star Sect feel the importance of this demon eradication, and can make them feel the love and gratitude of the people of Tengshan Chong for us?"
"Senior Brother Mei said what to do, Senior Brother, I'll do it immediately!" Wang Dafu figured it out, isn't it just to contribute to Xiao Tang and the others to join Tianxing City, this kind of icing on the cake, who wouldn't be happy!
Besides, if Xiao Tang and the others can join Tianxing City as they wish, his Wang family will also contribute, and if something finds them in the future, they will be embarrassed to shirk it.
The Wang family is a rich and powerful family in Tengshan Chongcheng, but this is just a mundane force, and it is useless in this Tang Kingdom, which respects the cultivation of immortals.
Those sect disciples are so high that they usually can't even see each other, and they don't have a chance to tie up, so they can only hug Xiao Tianyun and Tang Guomin as thighs.
"Get some hundred families to be covered by the people's umbrella or something, it should be possible!"
"Hundreds of families are under the umbrella of the people?"
Wang Dafu frowned, the Wanmin umbrella was given by the people to those outgoing officials who had meritorious service to the local area, but it was not something that their Wang family could get.
"Is it appropriate for a child who has just been born for 100 days?
"As long as it can reflect the people's love for us, whether it is suitable or not, it is not used to cover it anyway!"
Mei Daojia's face turned red, and she understood that she had made a mistake, so in order not to show her cowardice in front of Wang Dafu, she said hard.
"That's okay, I'll go to Wang Xianling to discuss, it should be no problem!" Looking at Mei Daojia's look at yourself, anyway, I gave you an idea, Wang Dafu gritted his teeth and agreed.
Wang Dafu squeezed into the crowd and told him what Mei Daojia had explained to him beside Wang Countyling.
Wang Xianling patted his forehead, looked like he suddenly realized, and confessed to Xiao Tang and the others, and then assigned tasks to the squire next to him.
Each squire took his own family to the homes of the people in the city to collect the materials for making hundreds of quilts and umbrellas, and the poor people were not allowed to take them by force, and gave some subsidies appropriately, so as not to let them do it in winter, donate quilts, and sleep on their own mats.
After collecting the materials, they were sent to the county government, and the county order instructed the officials around him to summon all the embroidery girls in the city to the county office, sew hundreds of quilts and umbrellas for the people, and the wages were paid by the county order.
Looking at Wang Xianling's energetic and exciting assignment of tasks, Mei Daojia had no doubt that this Wang County Commander was pretending to be public and private, and he also wanted to make himself a set of umbrellas for the people.
Let him be, anyway, if he wants to grab the credit, he can't get in the way of Mei Daojia and them, at least these poor people in Tengshan Chong City can get some money to survive the cold winter after the pig demon is raging.
The squire who received the task did not dare to slack off, confessed his guilt, and dispersed with his family to complete his own apportionment.
