Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the flower hall, County Magistrate Feng introduced the county officials to Zhao Shouzheng, starting with the second master He Wenwei.

    "He County Prime Minister, he was born in a guard family in Liaoyang, Liaodong, and was an old juren who failed in many trials. Ten years ago, he was selected as the magistrate of a certain county. The year before last, he and I were promoted to the county magistrate of this county. He is a thoughtful old man.  , he has checked and corrected my shortcomings over the years and never robbed the limelight. I owe it to him to help me manage the business to this day."

    Zhao Shouzheng nodded, thinking that I won¡¯t be cruel to him anymore

    "Bai Shouli is the master of the book. As an official he is very docile. He only obeys his orders and never raises objections."

    Feng Zhixian also introduced Master Bai, the third master of Daoism, and said something that was quite difficult to explain in one sentence:

    "I heard that he likes to take advantage of small things, but he doesn't go too far, but it's best not to give him a chance to make mistakes."

    "Yeah." Zhao Shouzheng looked at Zhao Hao and quickly wrote it down.

    Zhao Haoxin said, these five hundred taels of silver are well spent, and you can make money with just a little less.

    ¡°Then there is the fourth master, Xiong Dianshi.

    "I can't see through this person. Although, like Chief Bai, he keeps a very low profile in front of me and never quarrels or talks much, there are many legends about him circulating in the county, many of which are very outrageous."

    Feng Zhixian couldn't help lowering his voice and said: "It's best not to offend him."

    ??~~

    The layout of the county government has its own rules. There is a moon gate behind the front lobby, second hall, and third hall.

    Inside the gate is the Nei Yamen, also called the magistrate's office. It is where the magistrate's daily office is.

    To the west is the flower hall where Zhao Shouzheng and Feng Zhixian talked. It is the place where the magistrate receives guests.

    A three-suite suite opposite the flower hall across a rockery pool is the "signing room" of the magistrate's office.

    There is a small courtyard with five rooms behind the pledge house, which is where the curtain friends live.

    The status of a friend of the secretariat is higher than that of a master in later generations, between a counselor and a subordinate. The proprietor treats him as a master and friend.

    Therefore, Yu Ben, who arranged the accommodation, originally planned to arrange for Xu Wei and Wu Chengen to live in one hospital.

    Who would have thought that Xu Wei insisted on living in the same courtyard as his beloved writer. Wu Chengen was still supervising the soup kitchen in the north of the city, so he naturally had no way to object.

    At this moment, Xu Wei didn¡¯t bother to unpack his luggage, so he took the old man named Zheng Ruozeng and started chatting affectionately on the kang bunk.

    "Old Zheng, haven't we seen each other for five or six years?" Xu Wei was leaning on the kang, twisting salted fennel beans and drinking a small wine.

    ??Zheng Ruozeng was a scholar of Zizhengdian in the Northern Song Dynasty. After Zheng Yinian, his family studied and practiced medicine for generations, and became one of the most famous families in Kunshan.

    Naturally, he will not be as dishonest as Fatty Xu.  Sitting upright on the kang bed, he said with emotion: "Yes, after the dissolution of the shogunate, I didn't expect that we would see each other again one day."

    "I came to you on my own initiative." Xu Wei said boldly: "If my boss hadn't come to Kunshan to be an official, I would still be happily in prison."

    "They say you have a brain disease. It seems the rumors are true." Zheng Ruozeng laughed and said, "Are you still addicted after being in jail?"

    "Of course, not only do I have no one to bother me, but I also have wine to drink, meat to eat, people to serve me, and people to write novels for me. Not to mention how happy it is." Xu Wei put a handful of beans into his mouth, closed his eyes, and started chewing with enjoyment.  .

    "There are still people writing novels for you?" Zheng Ruozeng didn't believe it.

    "Don't believe it, I'm the idiot who made your brother-in-law miserable." Xu Wei couldn't help but let out a sigh after finishing the beans.  "Cool!"

    Zheng Ruo and Gui Youguang once studied under Wei School, a great scholar in Kunshan. Later, they married the two daughters of Wei Xiang, the younger brother of Wei School, and became brothers-in-law.

    "Wu Sheyang." Zheng Ruozeng suddenly realized and couldn't help but said overjoyed: "It's great that he's here too. Every time Zhenchuan writes, he says he owes Mr. Wu a lot and doesn't know how to make up for it."

    "Hey, it's easy, let him stop being an official." Xu Wei smiled half-seriously: "Anyway, that breaking the general sentence is just a decoration. It's better to resign and come back and work as a staff for my employer."

    "Huh?" Zheng Ruozeng couldn't help laughing and said: "It's inappropriate to leave a sixth-grade official and come back as a staff member?"

    "That's right, he's addicted to officialdom." Xu Wei took a sip of wine and didn't mention it again.

    Gui Youguang was in dire straits in the examination room. He only passed the provincial examination five times and failed the general examination eight times in a row. Until he was nearly sixty years old and won the Jinshi, he naturally cherished it even more.  Even if his career is not smooth for a while, he will not give up easily.

    "How about you apologize for your brother-in-law?" Putting down the wine cup, Xu Wei suggested again: "Old Wu just needs someone to help share the burden. He is too busy to write a book."

    "Me?" Zheng Ruozeng pointed to his nose, dumbfounded: "I'm sixty-five."Now that I'm alive, let me enjoy two days of peace and quiet.  "

    "You have changed, Old Zheng. Back then in the shogunate, you did whatever you were told and never complained." Xu Wei sighed.

    "Yes, it has changed." Gui Youguang admitted it without hesitation. Looking at Xu Wei, who almost looked like a different person, he said, "Isn't it the same for you? The most elegant and talented man in the world has now become an inhumane person.  Big fat guy."

    "What's wrong with fat people? Don't discriminate against fat people." Xu Wei puffed his beard and glared, then said with a smile: "But I really advise you to have a good chat with my young boss. He may be the soulmate you have been waiting for half your life."

    "Oh, really?" Zheng Ruozeng recalled carefully and said uncertainly: "Could it be the boy who held the umbrella for the county magistrate?"

    "He has good eyesight." Xu Wei praised: "I heard that he is writing a book "On Sea Power", which coincides with some of your views in "Mao Hai Tu Bian"."

    "What about?" Zheng Ruozeng asked with interest.

    "For example, you said, 'If you want to sail the ocean, you must first fight the ocean.'" Xu Wei said in a deep voice: "He believes that the purpose of the navy is to fight, and the ultimate goal is to gain control of the sea and control the ocean."

    "Really?" Zheng Ruozeng's eyes lit up and he said, "It's rare to see him. I'll definitely ask for advice someday."

    "Yes, ask him for advice." Xu Wei nodded like he was pecking rice, showing a successful smile.  "That kid knows so much, he knows everything about astronomy and geography, and he can even teach people how to write novels."

    He had seen the longing look in Zhao Hao's eyes towards Zheng Ruozeng, and he felt that as long as he brought Old Zheng to Young Master Zhao's lips, he would definitely not be able to run away.

    ¡°Hey, I¡¯m sorry, Old Zheng.  Only by finding a new villain can you be liberated

    "Don't seduce me, it's useless." Zheng Ruozeng was very familiar with Xu Wei, and knew all about his flirtatious nature.

    After laughing and scolding, he said seriously: "But let me ask you, is the magistrate determined to control the water?"

    "Is this" Xu Weixin said, Mr. Zhao shouldn't be so persistent, right?

    "Hahaha, there is no need to doubt Mr. Kaiyang!" But Zhao Hao walked into the room with a loud smile.  Just because of your name, I can¡¯t let you run away.

    Mr. Zhao had accompanied his father to hand over the affairs to Zhang Zhixian. He was already sleepy to death, but thinking that Zheng Ruozeng, whom he missed so much, was still left in the Yamen by Xu Wei, he resisted his tiredness and came over to hook up:

    "In a few days, you will see my father's determination!"

    ps. The third update, I am very proud to have completed the basic update after working on the outline for a whole day.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
