Chapter 81: The county magistrate’s anger disperses

When they saw County Magistrate Cheng coming to greet him for dinner, these people who had been impatient had followed him without saying a word. In the past two days, they were quite satisfied with the food prepared by County Magistrate Cheng. The same dish, as long as the place where County Magistrate Cheng led him to, would taste better than what they had eaten before.

Zhou Xihu's uncle Zhou Yu was also among them. He was not like those who came to enjoy their fortunes. When others were arranged to get on the carriage, he found the magistrate Cheng.

"An Ran, I have spent a lot of money on these two days, right? I can tell that you are different from the county magistrates elsewhere. Why don't you find more ways to make money on weekdays?"

There is a clear hint in this sentence: You, a county magistrate, have been here for several years, and have not been promoted or dropped, and your position is stable. Why don’t you make some money? There are not many wealthy families in the county.

County Magistrate Cheng smiled helplessly, "What the adults said is, for the official, you can eat, drink, and live in enough. How can you trouble the people? Please get on the bus?"

When Zhou Yu was sent to Che Zhang, the magistrate Cheng sighed, feeling depressed and really didn't know who to tell him, there were still a few people in Sanshui County who could not move. If they retired, you can try to move? Some business transactions were manipulated by these people. In addition to this, there are also your Zhou Yu's nephew Zhou Xihu.

Now you see, he wasn't like this at the beginning. He caused trouble all day long and couldn't get busy with food for him. Where can I get money? Scrape the people? How much danger would I have to bear? In the first two years of the new emperor's rule, the officialdom was in chaos, and he didn't have the courage to reach out. The new emperor was in power, and he didn't dare to take action in the first two years. If he was treated as a chicken and killed for the monkey, it would be really not worth it.

By the time of last year, I finally felt a little relaxed, but before I could move, auspiciousness came out, and many pairs of eyes were staring at it. This year, another auspiciousness came out. Now, I can make peace for the people. I will give things at once during the Chinese New Year, and the reputation of a good official has spread. No matter how stupid I am, I will not do the thing that self-destructs the Great Wall.

Besides, there are experts watching Zhangjiazhuang. Who knows what those two people think? If you really want to do something that is angry and resentful for a few days, what should you do if the master gets angry and gets angry?

When I arrived next to my car frame, I glanced at the cars of other people who were anxious to leave, sneered, and flashed in.

The team was heading towards a place, and this time they only followed two yamen runners and the county magistrate, and no one else in the yamen went together. They knew that this time they were suffering and they didn't want to eat anything delicious.

It is better to go home if you want to eat. There are some pickles sent by Zhangjiazhuang at home. I don’t know what they have put. The taste tastes different from other places. It is not so salty, but refreshing, and it has a umami flavor. Just drink it with porridge, don’t mention the taste.

As soon as the county magistrate Cheng moved, he couldn't stop. He actually walked for more than half an hour. Everyone in the car wondered. The prosperous place in this county town had already passed by. Could it be that there was still a good hotel hidden in a remote place?

As soon as I thought about it, those who had a different idea became excited. They thought of a place with mountains and waters around them, preferably a few small bridges, and a pavilion. Eat the delicious food that I had never eaten elsewhere, talk about the wind and moon, and recite a few lines of poetry, but this time it was not in vain.

Thinking of this, they all felt better and they didn't feel annoyed when they sat in the car.

"Uncle, it seems something is wrong. There is no restaurant here, and even the tea stalls on the roadside are in a pile of rags. Where is the Magistrate Cheng trying to take me to wait?"

Others don’t know what’s going on here, but Zhou Xihu knows that he followed a bunch of friends and rode a horse and almost all the entire county. He already knew what was there.

"Xiaohu, are you sure? I don't know where you will go if you go from now on? Could it be that you are going to leave Sanshui County?" Zhou Yu was surprised when he heard this and asked his nephew softly.

Zhou Xihu waved his hand and said, "I want to leave the county, walk until midnight. There is a village in front of me. It is said to be a village. In fact, there are only a dozen families, there are not even a river around me, and I can't dig wells even if I eat water. They all drink water from a water bubble in the mountains. They plant low-level fields. If the harvest is not guaranteed, they will be out of food when they encounter a natural disaster.

My nephew guessed that County Magistrate Cheng was crazy and wanted to take the person there. So, I don’t expect anything to eat. Uncle, come, thanks to my nephew who was used to eating the things made by Zhangjiazhuang, he brought some. Eat first, otherwise he will be hungry later and walk for another quarter of an hour. The vehicle ahead cannot pass, so he needs to walk. County Magistrate Cheng would be better off leading a shortcut, otherwise he would have to climb a mountain."

Zhou Xihu jumped out of the car, ran to the small car he followed, picked up some things, got back, put the things in front of his uncle, poured half a bowl of wine for him, and signaled him to eat.

Zhou Xi was not pretentious. He could already guess what he would eat when he entered the village. His body was his own, and he was still feeling uncomfortable when he was hungry. He picked up the things his nephew respected and ate them. Zhou Xihu also ate them.

Sure enough, as Zhou Xihu said, just as the uncle and nephew ate the things, the team stopped. County Magistrate Cheng jumped out of the car first and said to everyone:

"My dear sirs, the vehicle ahead is no longer feasible. It is better to get down and take a walk. If you walk a while, you can reach a good place."

"Really, County Magistrate Cheng, is there a place of mountains and rivers?" asked a man who had just endured the hunger fantasy and asked happily.

"That's right, just like the poem chanted by Mr. Song, there is no way out after the mountains and rivers..."

"I'll know this. Song Jinggong and Song Caizi's sentence has been passed over there. The next sentence is "William and Flowers" and "Good place to go, County Magistrate Cheng should wait for us to see it."

Before County Magistrate Cheng could speak, the man spoke up and shook his head, as if the poem was written by him.

"In this way, you guys will have to work hard." Cheng Lingxiang smiled on his face, raised his hand and led the way, and took the lead with the county magistrate and two yamen runners to go ahead.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm afraid of something to work hard. I didn't expect that Sanshui County has such a good place. Please, please." The man also smiled and waved his hand, making a statement of inattention, and following him, so the others naturally had to follow him.

At the beginning, the road was a little easier. After another two quarters of an hour, there was no way under my feet. I could only vaguely see a trace of less grass in the half-dead grass. It should be that someone walked by occasionally, and this would happen.

Zhou Xihu was guarding his uncle, carrying two water bags on his back. Seeing that everyone was still talking about the scenery with great enthusiasm, he whispered to his uncle: "Uncle, it's over, County Magistrate Cheng really wants to torture people. When you walk to that village, you may see people before dark.

Just seeing it, I really think of the place, and it will take an hour to walk. Thanks to my full water, I knew that County Magistrate Cheng was not kind-hearted. In a while, my nephew made you a stick, so you should use it as a crutch, don’t hold on."

Zhou Xihu spoke, looking around, trying to find a suitable branch, he knew that his uncle rarely walked so many ways and was easily tired.

Zhou Xie would not doubt his nephew. When he heard this, he took a deep breath and prepared to face the suffering. He looked at the water bag on his nephew's back and felt satisfied. His nephew was really sensible and knew to make money for his family. He knew that he felt sorry for others. He could make some arrangements in advance. When he went to Zhangjiazhuang, he would definitely thank him. Suddenly he remembered something and asked his nephew in a low voice.

"Xiaohu, have you brought the beef jerky that you didn't eat in the car just now? I guess you'll be hungry when you can see people."

‘Bang bang bang!’ Zhou Xihu patted his arms, squeezed his eyes and said, “Uncle, don’t worry, I brought them all. When you got off the bus, did you see your nephew go back to his car? Not only did the beef jerky, but he also wrapped a large piece of scallion pancake and two salted duck eggs in oil paper.

This is all made by Zhangjiazhuang. Unfortunately, there is no hot water. Otherwise, my nephew's car would have the fried beef marrow oil tea noodles, which they gave to my nephew to respect my elders. Now that my nephew is eating, he usually goes to the small shop they run. The price is cheap and tastes good. This cake was bought in the morning."

Zhou Xie looked over and found that his nephew was full of bulging body. He couldn't help but sigh that his nephew was lucky to cause trouble this time. Those who can help the business together to respect their elders will not be bad people.

At this moment, he wanted to get rid of these people immediately, go to the farm to see, thank you, and see what you can do, and you can't just wait for the benefits to take advantage.

Zhou Zui and his nephew Zhou Xihu were ready. County Magistrate Cheng had just eaten and drunk enough. The two fourth-rank officials who came from the court had just sent tea and snacks. I thought they had some stuffed them, so there was no need to worry about being hungry and sticking to their backs.

As for the rest, they were talking about flowers, plants and trees while holding back the smell of acid in their stomachs. When the drought came, the flowers were almost withered and the grass wilted. The scenery was not so charming.

County Magistrate Cheng still had the same smile. As he walked, he accelerated his speed a little. Everyone did not realize it. A group of people rushed towards another village in a storm.

Here in Zhangjiazhuang, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were riding a bicycle, asked the butler Wang to find pomegranates to select seeds. They both arrived at the Xiaoqiao. From a distance, you could see that some people were busy building houses in ordinary places downstream. The foundation was not yet done. There was water and mud underneath. Even if it was drought, they would seep out after digging.

"Xiaobao, please find an old man who can watch the sky. It's still cloudy and stuffy. I don't know when it will rain." Wang Juan looked at the hot scene and wiped his sweat.
