Chapter 373 A boring person and an interesting person

You and I are so affectionate; there are so many feelings, as hot as fire: put a piece of mud, twist one you, and shape one me.

Break the two of us together and mix them with water; twist one you and shape another me. I have you in the mud, and I have me in the mud: I will live in the same quilt and die in the same coffin.

Chen Si and Ruohan are a pair of jade men, and are well-crafted, like heavenly beings. They are even more happy because they are deeply affectionate and affectionate, and they are ten thousand more than other couples. In addition to having a savored melon at night, they are just savored because they are pitying their beautiful ladies, and after three days, they are silent and silent to be in office social engagements, and they are always in pairs with their wives, having fun day and night, and they are really inseparable from walking and dreaming and soul.

However, since ancient times, the hardships and joys are easy to pass. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Zongxian sent three messengers to ask him to meet in Hangzhou quickly, saying that there was an emergency waiting for him to deal with.

Chen Si had originally planned to leave after fifteenth, but was caught off guard, but he did not dare to delay. He told the messenger that he would leave the next day and go to various places to say goodbye. He estimated that no matter what he had to face, he would have to take office in Suzhou. He wanted to take Ruohan with him, but he didn't want his colleagues to laugh at him. After repeated thinking, he decided to go alone.

At night, she discussed with Ruohan and asked her to stay at home first, and wait until the matter settled down before picking her up. Ruohan also understood the righteousness at first, but later she thought that she might not see each other for several months, and the loving couple was as close as a couple. It was the time to mix oil in honey. How could she bear to separate for a moment? What about months? She couldn't help but cry and secretly hurt her heart. She was silent and couldn't let go of her silence. She comforted her softly and kept going until the second half of the night before going to bed.

By dawn, Ruohan had already stood up and packed his luggage outside. She quietly stood up, hugged her tightly from behind and said, "I went there this time, it was purely a must. As long as I settled down, I will take you over."

After being obsessed with him all night, Ruohan was much more peaceful. She whispered: "The important thing is important, please don't worry about me..." As she said that, she looked at Rou Niang who was placing bowls and chopsticks outside, and whispered: "Take Rou Niang with you, so that there is a person to serve..."

"Let her stay with you for your company." Chen Shu shook his head.

"Let her go with you," Ruohan secretly pinched him and said, "I'm right and wrong."

Chen Shu laughed and said, "Look at, who is right and wrong? I think you are still making trouble." Although he wanted to take Rou Niang on the road, he was already ecstatic and feared that he would not be able to control himself and would be in trouble if he could make a life. He simply didn't take anyone, and could give Ruohan a good impression, so he reluctantly gave up his love and decided to go alone.

After dinner, after saying goodbye to his wife, he went to the main house to bid farewell to his father. Chen Si took his forty personal soldiers outside the city and met with the guards sent by Hu Zongxian, and headed to Hangzhou in a mighty manner.

In recent years, I have been to Hangzhou several times, either by boat or riding a horse, or riding a carriage like this time, but the show is not as good as this time.

I saw a team of big red cloaks in front of four magnificent and spacious cavalry, all covered in armor, neatly opening the road in front. There was also a cavalry escorting the carriage behind, and there were two teams of cavalry on both sides of the carriage, with great momentum.

This is the standard governor's pomp. If you keep silent and silence yourself, you will be usurping. But this is the arrangement of the Southeast Governor Hu Zongxian. To outsiders, it is the power of the Southeast Governor Hu, who is conveying his blind date with the hot prefect Shen!

Of course, among them, Hu Zongxian also showed that he did not forget to dig the well when he drank water, and did not forget to be a great benefactor when he became an official.

The team ran all the way and arrived at Xiaoshan Post in the evening. The iron pillar, who had already put on the uniform of the seventh-grade military general, bowed and said, "Sir, let's rest here tonight, and we will arrive in Hangzhou at noon tomorrow."

Silence poked his head out of the carriage, looked forward, and asked, "Why don't you go in?"

"Report to the master, there seems to be some conflict at the door," Tiezhu hurriedly reported: "Nizhi will ask them to give way now."

When Chen Si was pricked up, there was indeed a quarrel. He held Tiezhu's arm, got off the carriage, moved his sore hands and feet, and walked over and said, "Look."

Tiezhu had no choice but to instruct the team to stop for a while, and he followed with two people.

Walking over silently, I saw a fat man dressed as an official, blocking the gate of the post station with a few postmen, confronting a middle-aged man in a commoner. Behind the middle-aged man, a ragged old man holding a shiver of thin and trembling child.

These people were silent at first, but when the inn staff facing him saw a large group of people coming, they seemed to have lost their last trace of patience. The fat postmaster shouted to the middle-aged man: "Go aside quickly and don't be a noble official to enter the post!"

The middle-aged man wearing a coarse cotton coat and a hat on his back turned to look at the grand ceremony after hearing this. His cold eyes even intersected with silence, and turned back as if nothing had happened: "If you give the money to the old man, we will naturally make way."

The official secretary said angrily: "I have told you so many times. We are just running errands. If you have any questions, go to Xiaoshan County and tell our county master!"

"Okay, we'll live tonight. You can go to the county town with me tomorrow." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"Are you wrong? This is an official post. Only the officials of the court can move in by relying on their support!" He said, "You are a tough guy and this old beggar. Don't even think about getting in in this life!"

The middle-aged man said coldly, "Isn't it just a good match? I have it!" Then he took out a kraft paper bag from his arms, and saw in silence that it was a large envelope specially used by the Ministry of Personnel... His letter of appointment was made of this thing.

The Yicheng reached out to get the big envelope suspiciously, but the middle-aged man shrank his hand and found nothing. He couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you going to do?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the man taking out a piece of letter paper with words written from the envelope. The Dahong Pass on it was an inch square, which was exactly the measure of the Ministry of Personnel's seal. He held the paper with three fingers and reached the postman's eyes and said, "Open your dog's eyes and take a look."

The official secretary and several subordinates approached and recited, "I ordered Hai Rui, the magistrate of Nanping, Fujian, to move to Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili..." After reading, he still said skeptically: "It's not a stolen one, right?" It's really not their fault that they had asked this question, but this guy was wearing a coarse cotton coat and a cloth shoes covered with mud. He was holding a big gray mule in his hand, and there was a simple bag and bamboo cage on his back. There was nothing else.

"I can't run away anyway. If you come with me to see your county magistrate tomorrow, you will know if I'm Haigangfeng is real!" Although others are thin, their voices are majestic and thick, which makes people involuntarily surrender.

The postmaster and the person next to him decided, "Forget it, come in quickly, don't block the noble man's way."

Hai Rui snorted and said to the old man behind him, "Let's go in." This time he looked kind and looked as if he had changed his own.

As soon as he finished speaking, the official secretary stopped him and said, "You can go in, but they can't." As he said, he smiled and said, "There are all adults living inside, how can it be done to let this old beggar go in?"

"The old man is not a beggar, but a charcoal burner who can support himself!" Hai Rui said coldly: "He spent a winter, cut several thousand kilograms of firewood, burning thousands of kilograms of charcoal, all hoping to exchange for some money for the Spring Festival! Even if you give him half of the money, you will not be so hungry and cold!" As he said that, he became angry and approached the two of them and said, "But what about you? You haven't paid any money yet, but you still have the heart to see their grandparents begging outside for two days and two nights, neither letting them go in to avoid the cold nor giving them a meal to fill their hunger. Have your conscience been eaten by the dogs?"

Several people were so scolded by him that they couldn't stand steadily, so how could they dare to let it go? The Yicheng secretly called the bad luck and made it aside: "Take them to the T-shirt room, and give them some rice and flour to cook by themselves." As he said, he said to Hai Rui with a depressed look on his face: "I am really unlucky to meet you, the god of despair during the Chinese New Year!"

Hai Rui also looked at the Yicheng with a expressionless face, then handed the reins into his hand, and helped the old man in straight in.

The official secretary said, "Hey! Why are you doing this mule for me?"

"Hey!" As he spoke, Hai Rui had already walked into the gate and could no longer see any trace.

Shen Mo stood quietly not far away, and everything that had just happened was in his eyes. After Hai Rui entered, the official secretary ran over quickly, nodded and bowed, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, please come in."

Shen Mo looked at him with a funny look and said, "Don't you think I'm okay?"

"You old jade tree is in the wind, like a god descending to earth." Yicheng's head was shaking like a rattle, and he smiled flatteringly: "There are such high-regulated guards, so small that they are blind, and they know who you are."

"Who am I?" Shen Mo asked with a smile.

"Your surname is Gu Yue." The official secretary lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "It's the son of our Southeast Governor, right?" Shen Mo almost fell to the ground.

"Bold! You dare to slander my lord!" Tiezhu raised his whip and whipped the Yicheng and said, "It seems that you are not only looking down on others, but also looking dark!"

The official secretary begged for mercy and said, "Good luck, I'm so young that I can't recognize Mount Tai. Whose son are you?"

Asking Tiezhu to stop, Shen Mo replied, "The young master of Shaoxing Promotion Officer." Then he brought the guards to the front.

Looking at the fierce guards who were fully armed and entering one after another, the postmaster covered his hot cheeks and was really crying without tears. He thought that he was indeed a devastating god.

The postman came over and asked in a low voice: "Boss, why are the sons of Hou Tuiguan so handsome?" Xiaoshan is a county in Shaoxing Prefecture. Even the lowest-level officials are familiar with the adults in the prefecture.

"No, Hou Guiguan seems to be transferred to Nanjing in the New Year, and now the Guiguan seems..." The Yicheng thought hard and said, "Sir Chen." Finally, he suddenly realized, kicked his subordinates blocking the way, and chased after him, "Zhuangyuan Gong, Zhuangyuan Gong, please come here, the best cross-agency is here..."

It doesn't matter what he said, but the officials at the station stayed at him heard it. Naturally, they would not miss the opportunity to get to know the famous Shen Liushou. They all started writing famous posts, preparing meeting gifts, and preparing to visit them.

But there were also ignorant people who sent people to ask about which top scholar was, an old servant who seemed to be one of his family, and then asked clearly and muttered repeatedly: "Shen Liushou, Suzhou Tongzhi, Shen Liushou, I can't remember it wrong."

"Which company is unprovincial? Send an old fool to come out and ask for it, and you are not afraid of misleading things." Amid the laughter of everyone, the old servant hunched over and slowly returned to the west to cross the courtyard.

What is amazing is that the guards standing guard at the door looked at him with awe. What was even more surprising was still behind... When the gate of the yard was closed, the old man's shrimp-like waist miraculously straightened. Several girls wearing swords with graceful figures and infinitely beautiful faces came forward and said, "Young Master, are you back?"

The guy who turned into a young master again smiled and touched the girl beside him and said, "It's time to call him uncle..." His disguise technique was like entering a state of transformation, and even his eyes were muddy and silent, as if he was seventy-seven or eighty.

"Uncle..." several girls said in a sweet voice, but after saying that, they laughed happily.

The young man hugged two beauties on both sides and entered the room among Yingyingyan. A woman next to him wanted to take off the disguise on his face, but he reached out and pressed it down and said, "Forget it, it took half an hour to make up last time, it was so troublesome."

"You still want to go out?" The smart girl understood immediately.

"Yes." The 'old man' nodded and said, "But it's not now. I'll go after the third day of the day. I'll go there after all the guests." A light flashed in the turbid 'old eyes', and he said in a slight manner: "Let's see if the top scholar can scare the kang."

"Young Master is so bad..." Another wave of Yingying Yanyan.

He said that he had two ends. When he arrived at the inn, he had just changed into a Yanfu and started visiting guests. Although he wanted to rest, he had many friends in the officialdom and at least he could not be casually guilty. He had to cheer up and receive every visitor tirelessly, listening to their monotonous compliments. Then he also used moderate compliments to ensure that everyone came with a smile on his face and left happily, at least he would not say that he was so clumsy, arrogant and negligent.

After this trouble, it was the third day before the last visitor left. He quietly relaxed his tired hands and feet, leaned on the kang and closed his eyes to rest, obviously exhausted his energy.

Tiezhu came over with a copper basin and said, "Sir, wash your feet."

Hearing Chen Si's nasal sound "um" sound, Tiezhu took off the adult's shoes and socks, and put his feet in the basin. Unexpectedly, in the next second, Chen Si's "Ouch" sounded, and suddenly withdrew his red feet. He suddenly lost all his sleepiness, and he blew on his feet hard and said, "Where do you want bald pig's trotters?"

Tiezhu reached out and tried the water temperature and said, "It's not too hot..."

"You have practiced a bunch of buffalo skin, but you still know the heat and cold..." Silent said in anger: "Hurry up, give me a cool towel to apply." He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: 'Retribution, this is retribution that does not bring Rou Niang.'

Tiezhu hurried out, took a towel and brought a basin of vinegar to give the adult a cold compress and add vinegar to soak it.

Just like this, the silence still hurts with his feet. But seeing Tiezhu's guilty look, he endured the pain and pretended to relax and said: "It seems that this jealousy is really effective and it almost doesn't hurt anymore."

Tiezhu finally felt relieved and silently put his head on the pillow and said, "I'm sleepy, you can go out and rest."

"Yes..." Tiezhu wanted to take the vinegar basin out, but was stopped by silence: "Put the vinegar here, this smell can prevent colds."

Adults have always called headaches and fever caused by wind and cold, "cold". Tiezhu got used to it, so he put down a vinegar basin, held the basin of water, and blew out most of the lights, leaving only an oil lamp against the wall, so that the adults could illuminate it when they woke up at night and went out.

Tiezhu took the basin of water and opened the door and fell into the patio. He looked at the sky outside, which was gloomy, no moon or stars, and was still cold in his jacket. He couldn't help but murmur: "Why do you say I don't know the heat and cold? The water in that basin is hot, and the weather outside is cold, and I think I still know..." After saying that, he was about to pour water into the patio, but then he thought to himself: 'If it doesn't work well at night, it will freeze. It's not good if you slip up at night.' Then he whispered, pouring all the water into the holly bushes under the eaves of the house, and then turned around and closed the door and entered the house.

He never saw from beginning to end that behind the holly bush, a ghostly man in black was quietly lying down... The man in black was of extremely high quality. Even if he was washed, his feet and head were poured thoroughly, he still didn't move.
