Chapter 6 The county magistrate invites you
Rich families don’t have to buy good land, but there are thousands of bells of millet in the book.
There is no need to build high buildings to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book.
Don’t hate the lack of a good matchmaker when marrying a wife, and there is a beauty in the book.
Don’t regret that no one follows you when you go out, there are so many cars and horses in the books.
A man wants to fulfill his life's ambition, so he reads the Five Classics to the window frequently.
It is good to read and wonderful to read, but the life of reading, practicing calligraphy and writing articles is really boring after a long time. Even if there is a little maid like Taochun, Hongxiu Tianxiang, it makes people feel uncomfortable. Shi Wei was very wet and hot in the house. Xu Yan stayed behind to study hard for a month, and his whole body was almost covered with rashes.
That day he was about to go out to wander around, but Xiaoshutong Shuangxi ran over in a hurry.
"Young Master, you must not go out now!"
Seeing Shuangxi look panicked and lost, Xu Yan coughed lightly and said, "What happened?"
"Yards, someone has come to the yamen. I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'm going to take you to court."
Even though Xu Yan was calm and composed, he was also surprised.
He voluntarily donated grain to the county government more than a month ago, which was considered as a favor from the Zhao County Magistrate. How could the county government come to Xu's mansion to get people?
Besides, he didn't do anything that was unreasonable. It was strange, it was so strange.
Xu Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm down his mood.
"Do you recognize who came from the county government?"
Xiao Shutong said with a bitter face: "The Captain Cui who came is an old man from the county government office. He is taking action himself. Master, you have to be careful. I see that he is coming with great force and has bad intentions."
Xu Yan smiled faintly: "I am not afraid of being slanted by the shadows. I have not done anything that is harmful to the world, what are I afraid of?"
After saying that, he swayed his sleeves and walked away.
But Xu Yan walked through the courtyard and came to the flower hall. He calmed down and took a deep breath. Then he swayed into the hall with a robe and clothes.
Captain Cui has been working in the yamen all year round, so he is naturally not a gentleman. He saw him sitting on the official hat chair with a big golden knife, with a cold and unfathomable face.
The maid who served in the hall didn't even dare to show off when she saw him in this way.
Xu Yan walked closer and bowed to Captain Cui and said, "Boy Xu Yan, I have seen Captain Cui."
Captain Cui nodded when he saw Xu Yan coming: "Xu Xiaolangjun is polite. Someone is ordered by the county master to invite Xiaolangjun to the yamen."
Captain Cui has a good attitude. Xu Yan said in his heart.
"I dare to ask Captain Cui, why do you have to worry about your trip?"
"This... I don't know the specific one, but the county magistrate only told me to bring the young man here."
Captain Cui looked embarrassed.
Xu Yan was very good at observing his expressions, and he naturally saw the subtle changes of Captain Cui.
"Can you see the card ticket?"
The so-called card refer to the documents issued by the yamen hall officials, and the yamen runners use this document to arrest the person involved.
The card ticket is a certificate of the yamen runner's case handling, and seeing the card ticket is like seeing the official.
"The county master did not issue a license ticket."
Who knew that Captain Cui gave an answer that surprised Xu Yan.
If you don’t have a license ticket, what kind of family can you live in?
"Captain Cui was joking, right? Since the county master wants to get a kid, he should have a licensed ticket as a certificate."
"Xu Xiaolangjun misunderstood. He didn't say that the county magistrate wanted to take you to court."
Captain Cui waved his hands repeatedly and said embarrassedly: "Did you see that I brought a chain and a rope? If I really want to treat you, would Cui sit here to have tea?"
"That county lord means..."
Xu Yan felt a little confused. What was the reason for this?
Captain Cui waved his hand and said, "Don't ask again by Xiaolangjun Xu. In short, this is an order issued by the county master himself. Just go with Cui."
Xu Yan thought about it secretly and felt that the possibility of Captain Cui lying was not high. After all, it involved County Magistrate Zhao, and even if he used Captain Cui's 100 courage, he would not dare to slander the tiger's skin as a banner.
Since the yamen did not issue a license ticket, it means that Xu Yan was not involved in the case, which is always a good thing.
But it is either a public job or a private matter. It seems that this county master wants to see him because of his private matters.
"Since that's the case, the boy will follow Captain Cui for a while."
It is a blessing or not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.
At this point, Xu Yan really wanted to go to Dinghai County to see what medicine this magistrate sold in the gourd.
Dinghai County is not big, and it took only a short time to come from Xu Mansion to the county government.
Xu Yan had already been donating food once before, so there was not much freshness. He followed Captain Cui around the screen wall and entered the door one after another.
But the two of them walked through the courtyard. As they thought they had arrived at the third hall, Captain Cui stopped and looked back and said softly: "Mr. Xu Xiaolang, please wait here for a while."
Xu Yan nodded slightly and smiled.
Captain Cui quickly walked under an old locust tree, talked to the elegant man in his forties under the tree for a few words, and then stepped back.
"The county master wants to see you in the backyard. There are the county master's family there. It is not convenient for us to go there. You will follow Master He in a while."
Xu Yan muttered softly and said to himself: It seems that Master He is very trusted by County Magistrate Zhao, otherwise he would not be able to enter and exit the backyard at will.
Seeing Master He waiting there, Xu Yan quickly walked up to him and bowed and said, "Boy Xu Yan has met Master He."
Master He gently stroked the beard on his jaw, nodded in praise and said, "Come with me."
Xu Yan didn't dare to be entrusted, so he responded and followed Master He immediately.
They walked along a cobbled path, passed through a moon gate, and came to the backyard.
Xu Yan was thinking about how to answer the conversation for a while, but Master He stopped and twisted his beard and said, "Xu Xiaolangjun, the county magistrate is in the hall, please give me some advice."
Xu Yan looked up and saw a wide and bright house in front of him. The door was open and there were couplets engraved on both sides.
"If you get an official position, you will not be humiliated. If you lose an official position, don't say it's not to use it. The local area depends on one official position. Eat the people's food and wear the people's clothes. Don't say that the people can be deceived, you are also the people."
Xu Yan thought secretly that this should be the third party.
It is completely different from the last time Zhao Magistrate met him. The third hall where he was located this time belongs to Zhao Magistrate's daily life. It seems that Xu Yan's guess is correct. It should be a private matter for Zhao Magistrate to come to him.
Xu Yan bowed to Master He to thank him, then flexed his robe and clothes and stepped into the hall.
The boy walked around a flower and bird screen and saw Magistrate Zhao lying in front of the case with something written.
Xu Yan didn't dare to disturb him and waited quietly.
It was not until the magistrate Zhao put down his wolf hair, that the young man bowed and said, "Student Xu Yan pays homage to the county master."
Magistrate Zhao was in a good mood. When he saw Xu Yan coming, he waved his hand and said, "Xiansheng doesn't need to be restrained, come to our county."
Although Xu Yan was a little nervous, he calmed down and strided towards Magistrate Zhao.
