Chapter 353 Going to the County Government

What a silly boy. After finally finishing the exam, Rokuro still woke up early in the morning and didn't get much sleep. He had to go to the workshop later and was very busy.

Looking at the old daughter-in-law walking around his old son, Gu Erzhu shook his head and made Mrs. Liu happy. He was a lazy father and wanted to bring out lazy children.

In this room, Gu Wenxuan was sweating again after his morning exercise. He took a shower, washed his hair, wrung it dry, and changed into a green shirt. Even his father-in-law came to the door.

Zhou Shushun also obeyed his third uncle. He didn't know what he was busy with. He hadn't eaten yet. His family, Dajiang, had been tidied up early in the morning and he had been reading for a while.

"There's no rush. It's not good to go too early. Generally speaking, the county magistrate will deal with official business before noon every day. They have the right time."

If someone else said this, Zhou Shun might not necessarily believe it, but what his Sanya said was definitely true. Listening to what his Sanya said would definitely be correct.

The cook in charge today is Aunt Fang.

After Zhou Banxia's "dish tasting" practice during her stay in Zhending Mansion, there is no doubt that her cooking skills have improved a step further.

Let’s not talk about the inexplicable summer-cooling products. For breakfast on the table, one of the tofu skin buns is so tender and juicy that it’s so delicious.

Tofu skin alone is very expensive. It sells for forty-two yuan a pound in the city.

One year, just one year.

Zhou Banxia took advantage of a break during breakfast to find out that her father had a lot of ideas. Of course, it wouldn't be surprising even if he knew about it, this was her father.

Mrs. Liu was afraid that Dajiang would be shy, so although she didn't praise him in person, she couldn't help but mention to her two daughters-in-law how much Dajiang had changed when they were dining aside.

In other restaurants, it would cost at least twenty-five cents per pound. Why eat it? It's just to satisfy your cravings once in a while. You might as well sell it.

You can't be careless about marriage. You would rather offend someone than agree easily. It is more appropriate to have a smart book boy with a little skill by your side.

Zhou Shushun couldn't think of a better way to praise it. It was so delicious that he was tempted to ask the cook at home to learn how to cook it, but after thinking about it, he decided against it because he couldn't afford it.

The following words were her mother-in-law's reminder to be careful about certain emergencies in which Da Jiang was plotted to marry when she was out.

If she hadn't stopped him, her father would still be working in the fields before dawn, wishing he could have one less long-term worker and spend less money.

He has a handsome face, and now he is fully grown. He is dressed in a green robe, and he is polite and courteous in every word and manner. He is already a talented person even before he is a young man.

Last year during the wheat harvest season, she met Dajiang when she was delivering meals to the fields. At that time, he was only as tall as her shoulders, but this year he has fully grown and caught up with her height.

Although his Sanya workshop makes tofu skin, the purchasing price for Yunke Lai is only a little more expensive than pork, but it only supplies Yunke Lai.

What's hard to say about Zhou Banxia is that the smart book boy with some skills must have been prepared for it, and now there are several promising candidates training with the escort team.

Her attention at this time was on her mother-in-law.

However, the key is to be cautious.

It seems that he still needs to give a lecture to Dajiang and prepare some self-defense items, otherwise he will end up with a troubled sister-in-law and all the hard work will be in vain.

After having a breakfast that was a waste in the eyes of Thursday, Gu Wenyu also arrived. The three of them got on the carriage and went to the end of the village to meet Zhou Xiucai and then went to the county seat with Zhou Changping. When I arrived at the gate of the city, I paid the entrance fee, entered the city to the county government office, handed in my greeting card, and smoothly saw the master next to the county magistrate coming out to greet me.

The master is also called a staff, not an official. He is a personal staff hired by Wei County Magistrate. He is the number one personal assistant who stays by his side to make plans and handle affairs.

Magistrate Wei is fat and pale, and Master Ding is skinny. It is estimated that this master is worried about the magistrate.

Perhaps it was because the county magistrate and the county captain had "shaked peace" before. The emaciated Mr. Ding is not as thin as he was during the county examination in February.

More or less, he will not look like he looked like he could be easily blown away by the wind during the county examination. He will still be skinny, but at least he will not be skinny and bones.

The county magistrate is also a teacher.

The father-in-law was very pleased that the four newly-minted scholars, especially the court chief, arrived the next day after returning to the village to pay homage to their ancestors.

There was a good chat between "teachers and students".

Magistrate Wei, the teacher's parents, gave instructions to the four students. In the future, as students, they will have fame and honor, and they need to pay more attention to their words and deeds.

For example, you must not discuss government affairs indiscriminately, form cliques, engage in lawsuits, act recklessly, etc.

Regardless of Qinghe County's impressive results in the college examination this year, and not mentioning how to benefit the other party's political performance, this warning was indeed very thoughtful.

The four talented husbands and ministers would not understand his good intentions, so they bowed respectfully, and Gu Wenxuan, who was not stupid at all outside, took the lead in thanking him.

Gu Wenyu dared to say that he knew it best. He had known for a long time that Erlang and Liulang were brothers who were equal to each other, and neither of them had left behind.

His cousin Gu Erzhu is a wonderful man, and the third grandfather's scolding of hob meat is very apt, and he can handle it even if he is a person of any kind.

It's just that the young are better than the old. Erlang is a better person and has a better reputation than his cousin, and Liulang has a father and brother who can speak well, so he naturally has fewer opportunities to speak.

But it doesn't mean that Rokuro is not good at words. He has the most opportunities to hit people since he was a child, but the truth is always on his side, which explains everything.

The brat kid beat up Dalang. He didn't say much, just a few words, but he became a good boy. He was the only one, Gu Liulang, how could he be an easy master to deal with.

It's just Da Lang, who has grown up a few years ago and still has the stupidity to look down on a cousin who grew up under the same roof. He couldn't suppress him when he was a child, let alone now.

When Gu Wenyu was distracted for a moment, and then when he was applying for new documents, Gu Wenxuan had already chatted with the Jiaoyu, the county magistrate, the county captain, Dian Shi and others.

In fact, one of the most important things to do when going to the county government office today is to complete a series of paperwork and other procedures in the "four rooms" of the "six rooms" of the county government office, including officials, households, rites, and workers.

Household posts and waist badges need to be updated, and the tax exemptions and exemptions according to the regulations, as well as the list of household servants, must also be determined.

Although scholars have meritorious status and can enjoy some gentry privileges, such as not bowing to officials before they meet, it is impossible to complete all the procedures on the same day if one of the "one-room" officials in the county government deliberately makes things difficult.

The so-called "The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with." It refers to subordinate staff who are not even officials. It's like changing their waist badges. If the "workshop" says they can't get out today, what can they do.

As long as people are "kicked out" within the stipulated three months, there is nothing wrong with it. Even the parents, officials and magistrates of the county cannot punish the other party openly.

Fortunately, there are few such short-sighted villains, and generally speaking, they will not offend the promising scholar Xianggong. However, it is not strange to be polite to many people in a sedan chair, so why not do it.
