Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

The flames of war that had just subsided were ignited again, and the spring tide that had been gradually receding in the house surged like a tide again.

After a long time, the clouds collected the rain, and the two worms on the couch were entangled together and could no longer move any longer. The woman's knots had disappeared, and she panted slightly and asked in a voice slack to the bone: "Ah Cheng, what's the answer from my family?" Did you send the marriage letter back to the second elder?"

Tang Cheng's hands were tightly intertwined with Li Yingwan's ten fingers. At this moment, his two little fingers were sliding on the woman's two hands. Hearing Li Yingwan's question, he kept closing his eyes and said, "Last night Lin Xuezheng hosted a banquet for Zhang Wensheng, the chief arrester of the county, and I also went to accompany him. During the dinner, I heard that the chief arrester Zhang said that today I have a business trip and I will go to our village for business, so I gave him the marriage certificate, just in time for the tolerance to help bring it. Go down, this will save you a single trip."

The woman nodded, and after resting for a while, she supported Tang Cheng's body and was about to get up.

"What's wrong?".

"I have to tell Lancao'er to call me early tomorrow, and go back to her mother's house when she wakes up." The woman said to Tang Cheng stutteringly: "Grand...father-in-law, and... and mother-in-law... what should mother-in-law do tomorrow?" Into the city."

"Shouting father-in-law, mother-in-law is so difficult?" Tang Cheng first teased the woman before saying: "It's only been a few days since they went back, can't they be so fast?".

"As smart as you are, you still don't understand the old man's heart." The woman pinched Tang Cheng with her backhand and avenged her teasing, "You are the only seedling in the old Tang family. I don't know what you are looking forward to when you get married. I guarantee that they will not be able to live in peace after receiving the marriage letter today. They can't sleep well at night. They have to leave for the city early tomorrow morning to ask Xiangu Liu. In the meantime, apart from Liu Xiangu, the mother-in-law probably won't trust anyone."

Hearing what the woman said, Tang Cheng thought about it carefully, "Well, it makes sense, hey! If you had known this was the case, you shouldn't have let your parents go back a few days ago. Wouldn't it be a crime to run like this?"

"Now that I think about it, it's too late. It's still too early to close the gate of the city." The woman smiled and squeezed Tang Cheng's hand, "My friend, let me get up and go out and tell Uncle Li that he will have a hard time at night." Go back to Zhuangzi in the countryside overnight, and pick up my parents-in-law early in the morning."

When the woman said it the third time, the four words "father-in-law and mother-in-law" came out casually, without any stuttering.

Hearing this, Tang Cheng folded his hands together to wrap around the woman's slender hands, "You have a heart."

"After I have passed the marriage certificate, I am part of the Tang family. I am supposed to be filial to my parents-in-law." The woman raised her other hand and put it on Tang Cheng's, saying, "I am part of the Tang family." When she spoke, besides a little bit of shyness on her face, there was more happiness that her wish had been fulfilled.

Li Yingwan didn't go out to look for the coachman Lao Li in person, after calling the girl to explain, she turned and came back and got tired of Tang Cheng again, "Ah Cheng, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Since the in-laws have been called, why am I still here as Cheng?" Once the shrewd and capable woman showed her little daughter's shyness, it was really touching, so Tang Cheng always liked to tease her like this, "What's the matter, Tell me."

The woman glanced at Tang Cheng angrily, but did not change her words, "I'm thinking of selling this house, and let's buy another house with a larger courtyard, the one with a back garden, don't you scholars I like this! Right now, I bought this house for the occasional trip to the city, but now it seems too small. At present, these people are a little tight. If they get married, they will buy some servants and maidservants. After all, it is not enough to live in. After changing to a big house, I can take over my parents-in-law and my mother-in-law, so as not to be tired from running back and forth like now."

Tang Cheng was really happy that the woman could say these words, but he didn't immediately nod his head in agreement. Based on his understanding of the Tang and Zhang couples over the past year, he didn't need to ask him to know that they would not come. living.

On the one hand, it is because they are not very old now, they have lived in the village for half their lives, and they are used to being busy on weekdays. They said they moved to the city to enjoy the blessings, but suddenly their work was gone, and none of the neighbors knew each other. I'm definitely not used to being idle.Of course, this is not the main reason. The most important thing is that although these two couples look kind, they are actually hard-hearted, especially Tang Shuan.

This is the situation in my own family. To put it bluntly, my son Tang Cheng relies on his wife's wealth to have such a nourishing life. This is enough for the old couple to feel uncomfortable. Come to live in a mansion bought entirely by the daughter-in-law?Let's not talk about what happened that night. After all, Mrs. Tang and Zhang beat this daughter-in-law, and Tang Shuan also pointed a knife at her. Although they are now a family in name, the embarrassment does not mean that If you don't have it, you won't have it immediately.

Another point is that Tang and Zhang's couple really love their son to the bone. Now it is clear that the daughter-in-law is richer. I'm afraid they don't want to cause conflicts between their son and daughter-in-law because of themselves.

Those bastards are not counted, but the real farmer who wants to go to the city will think more and save face, and the current reality that the wife is richer than the son will make Tang Zhang The couple thought more, not to mention the quarrel between them.

After thinking about these things in Tang Cheng's mind, he actually understood that unless he bought the house with his own money, the elders probably wouldn't come to live in it. Come on, although Dad doesn't talk much, once he has made up his mind, it's useless for anyone to say it.

On the other hand, Tang Cheng himself did not intend to let the second elder come here now. It was not that he was unfilial or disliked the parents of the peasant family. It was because he had a deeper consideration. Li Yingwan has a stubborn temper. It's true that you can treat the two elders well if you haven't married yet, but if you really live together and rely on her to support you for a long time, will the woman's attitude change?

No one can say for sure, and Tang Cheng is not prepared to make such an attempt at all. If this happens, it will be a potential rift between family members for a lifetime, and it will be difficult to mend the seams.

His current thinking is that he can earn some money as soon as possible. If he earns more money, he will buy a big house and take his parents over. When the time comes, Tang and Zhang will live comfortably in the house bought by their son, and they will be able to stand up in front of their daughter-in-law. I can stand up and speak stiffly.If the money is really low, try to buy a house for the two elders in the village first. Anyway, it is not far away, so you can go back and take a look if you want to.And the second elder is now in good health, and he is familiar with living in the village, and he tries his best to take care of himself.

Why!It is said that poor and lowly couples suffer from everything. In fact, if a family wants to be truly happy without money, it is really impossible, especially when the elderly on both sides are involved, and the financial disparity between men and women is relatively large.

Lack of money, or lack of money, this question has been placed in front of Tang Cheng since he crossed over, and with the change of his status and circumstances, the lack of money has become more and more. Before worrying about food, what he lacked was only three or five Baiwen, consistent and consistent; but now although his status has changed, what he lacks is money to buy a house or build a house for the second elder, which is not a problem that can be solved by three or two.

"This house is enough to live in, and there is still a need to buy a new house! As for the servants, why do you need so many. Parents won't come over now, so don't worry about it." Tang Cheng didn't want the woman to find out that he never The wry smile from the bottom of my heart disappeared after a sip, "By the way, there is also the matter of marriage, which I have to wait for my parents to come over to make up their minds. After all, it is the Tang family who marry a daughter-in-law, and they have to decide the rules. What do they say? Just do what you want, don't waste your money."

Hearing what Tang Cheng said, the woman with a face full of joy and happiness was stunned, "Ah Cheng, do you still treat me as an outsider?".

"My parents-in-law have shouted, are they going to get married soon or are they outsiders?" Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and pinched the woman's nose, "You just said that I don't understand the old man's heart, why did I commit a crime in a blink of an eye, just because the Tang family As an only son like me, this is my first marriage, so I have to be more considerate of my parents."

Seeing the woman agreeing, Tang Cheng smiled and nodded, "By the way, I have something to discuss with you."

Li Yingwan took Tang Cheng's hand and slowly stroked his face, "Get married and follow your husband, you can decide what you want, and you can also discuss it."

"When you marry, obey your husband, and listen to whoever says something reasonable." The woman's sense of happiness is so strong, which can be clearly felt from every subtle movement of her. Just like happiness, it can be transmitted and contagious, so Tang Cheng naturally felt a sense of happiness in his heart, and the feeling of happiness intoxicated in the aftertaste of physical pleasure was long-lasting and real. "What I want to tell you is Lancao's body deed, I mean let her get out of her family."

Li Yingwan's face was sliding softly against Tang Cheng's hand. When Tang Cheng said this, her face suddenly paused and her brows were tightly wrinkled, but then she returned to normal, " Well, this matter is up to you, Ah Cheng, and it’s worth mentioning specifically.”

Seeing that the woman agreed readily, Tang Cheng was also happy, "Well, when I go to the county government office tomorrow afternoon, I will handle her release document by the way."

"In such a hurry?" The woman said with a smile, "You girl Lancao is really lucky to meet Ah Cheng."

Tang Cheng would not let go of the teasing opportunity presented, "Lancao is lucky, so you are lucky to meet me?".

At this moment, the girl who went to tell the coachman Lao Li came back and said that the meal was ready.

In such an era, it is definitely a big deal for these servants to release a person with a low status. The reason why Tang Cheng didn't tell Lan Cao'er was that he wanted to have a surprise after the paperwork was completed tomorrow. Unexpectedly, the woman Li Yingwan didn't say anything.

After dinner, Tang Cheng chatted with them for a while, and then went to the study.

After his unremitting supplementary work during this period, coupled with the borrowed notes as a guide, the self-study of "Four Books" has entered the fast lane. Twenty chapters of "Analects of Confucius" have been completed, and "Mencius" is now more than half done.

"Fish is what I want, and bear's paw is also what I want. You can't have both. Those who give up the fish will take the bear's paw. Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both. Give up life." And the one who takes righteousness." When Tang Cheng recited Mencius here, he had already stopped reading the books. He also recited the same text aloud in a junior high school class 300 years later. When I recited this famous article again 300 years ago, the memory of that year emerged from my mind so vividly.

A thousand and three hundred years apart, the two time-spaces that never seem to intersect are connected by this passage of text.

Through this passage, Tang Cheng's memories of the junior high school of the later generations suddenly emerged like a dream, and from the junior high school life of the later generations, the relatives who are connected by blood in the two later generations are naturally becoming clearer and clearer.

"Dad, Mom, how are you... are you doing?" Tang Cheng's soliloquy was almost dreamlike, and the scroll he was holding had already slipped from his hand. It is extremely rare that Tang Cheng lost his mind while studying. !Just like this, he sat quietly on the Hu stool, his eyes falling on the empty space in front of him.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the night wind blowing against the carved wooden window outside the house awakened Tang Cheng who was in deep thought. The lamps and candles on the desk in front of him swayed quite a bit due to the night wind blowing in through the window. Desolately, Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and put the lamp in a place leeward, then wiped the corner of his eyes with his back hand, and quietly wiped away the small piece of wet and cold tears.

The next moment, the sound of chanting in the room sounded again, and the sound of reading loudly covered the sound of the night wind hitting the window lattice, and the lamps in the room also returned to the brightness and stability of before, with occasional tiny flickers coming from the stars. Sound, everything just now seems to have never happened at all...

After completing the homework of the Four Books, Tang Cheng got up and moved his hands and feet, and then returned to continue the homework assigned by the old monk Chengning.

Compared with the previous few days, Tang Cheng's writing speed tonight is somewhat faster. Although it is not very fast, he believes that as he writes more and ponders more, his writing speed will become faster and faster.

After finishing all his homework, Tang Cheng went to rest by himself and slept peacefully all night. When he woke up the next morning, the morning sun appeared outside the window, and it was very gratifying to see.

It's another beautiful sunny day!

Tang Cheng still went to the county school in the morning, and the four classes were full, so there was nothing to say. After returning at noon, Li Yingwan had already returned to her natal family, but the expected Tang and Zhang couples did not arrive.

Tang Cheng didn't rest after dinner, but the carriage didn't come back until it was approaching Shangya. After Tang Cheng told Lancao to be more careful, he went out with her body deed and the good letter signed by Li Yingwan.

Tang Cheng had the experience of yesterday, so he didn't arrive early today. When he walked to the gate of the county government office, the bell of the upper government office rang.

Tang Cheng went to the office first, and the county magistrate Zhang came in step by step, smiled and nodded at him, and then entered the office.

"This should be about the matter of recruiting Erlongzhai." Seeing that the county magistrate Zhang was smiling, but the brows were not stretched, Tang Cheng secretly thought.

But it's no wonder, the messenger selected by the tolerance yesterday has already left for Erlongzhai, this matter has too much to do with Magistrate Zhang, so it's no wonder he is like this.

As soon as Tang Cheng sat down in the office, the handyman who was in charge of cleaning and serving tea came in with a cup of tea and a book along with him.

"Taste the freshly boiled Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots." The handyman put down the teacup first, and then put the paper in front of Tang Cheng, "This is from Lin Lushi this morning. Documents".

"Oh, let me take a look." Tang Cheng held the teacup in one hand, and casually flipped through the manuscript with the other. What caught his eye was a fair stroke of lower script with hairpin flowers. Such a thick stack of manuscripts was sent back yesterday afternoon to be transcribed. , I handed it in this morning, hey!This Lin Cheng's hand is really fast, "Lin Cheng's handwriting is good!".

"It's not bad! But this morning when Lin Lushi delivered the papers, he had two dark circles under his eyes." Seeing Tang Cheng looking up, the handyman didn't change his expression, "Listen to the old Qian who is in charge of the West Yard Said that last night when he got up to report for the third watch, he saw that the office room where Lin Lushi was staying was still lit."

It turned out that it was made overnight, so it's no wonder!

While Tang Cheng smirked slightly, he raised his head and looked at the handyman. Judging from his performance yesterday afternoon, he was not a sticky person. Thinking about it, he would definitely not be assigned to the county if he had no winks. Ling waits by his side, but why is he talking too much at this moment?

Although the handyman deliberately kept his tone calm when he talked about Lin Cheng, and the expression on his face didn't change, but under Tang Cheng's deliberate exploration, he still found a deep hidden gloating in his eyes.

After realizing this, Tang Cheng lowered his head and blew the tea foam in the teacup, and did not speak again.

Seeing him like this, the handyman left without saying anything.

After Tang Cheng drank a cup of tea while it was hot, he took the papers sent by Lin Cheng. He didn't read the previous ones at all, and turned directly to the place where he found the wrong data yesterday.

Seeing that the numbers remained the same as yesterday, Tang Cheng smiled, this Lin Cheng is really not smart at all!Since I already knew yesterday that I was deliberately making things difficult for him, I should check the paper carefully when I stayed up all night transcribing the case file, even if it is a small mistake, I have to smooth it out, let alone such a data error like this one?

From this point of view, although Lin Cheng has a bad mouth, he has a shallow mind.He didn't even think of this at all, no wonder County Magistrate Zhang didn't like him, even if Master Yao wasn't involved, County Magistrate Zhang probably wouldn't like such a recorder.

After Tang Cheng confirmed that the error on the case file still existed, he didn't read the others at all. He took a brush dipped in red ink with cinnabar and circled the wrong place, then closed the case file with a snap, and was about to reach out. When pulling the rope to call the handyman, he thought for a while and withdrew his hand.

I got up and took out the paper that I hadn't read when I left yesterday from the wooden cabinet at the back. After reading it carefully, I calculated that the time was almost up, so I sat upright and stretched out my hand to pull the rope.

After a while, the handyman came in, "What's the matter with Tang Lushi?".

"In Lin Lushi's paper, there is a key total number wrong, and I have to trouble you to return it to him." Tang Cheng, who was holding the paper, was talking, but his eyes kept falling on the handyman's face. As expected, when he heard that he was going to withdraw the paper for Lin Cheng again, the look of gloating in the eyes of the handyman became stronger.

In fact, it is simple to say, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty had an inexplicable sense of superiority, which was true for ordinary people who had not gone to school, not to mention the handyman in their eyes. It will be shown on the face, but Lin Cheng's self-restraint... The ancient scholars paid attention to the gentleman who would never give in bad words. Lin Cheng was able to call him Tang Cheng in front of so many people at noon yesterday, obviously he was not a man of self-restraint!

From this point on, it is easy to understand. Although Tang Cheng didn't know the specific reason, but after observing the performance of the handyman these two times with his own eyes, he was able to confirm one thing, that is, the handyman in front of him obviously didn't like Lin Cheng very much. Otherwise, it would not be so gloating.

"Okay, I'll go now." Although the handyman tried his best to keep his face unchanged in front of Tang Cheng, when he took the paper and turned around, the smile that was suppressed in his heart could no longer be restrained from showing on his face, " You have to notify Lao Qian and the others immediately about this matter, Lin Cheng, the idiot, no matter how crazy I see you, someone will take care of you."

The handyman walked out with a smirk in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pinch the paper. Although he was just a handyman, he was still an old man in the yamen. Naturally, he knew that this kind of papers were all numbers related to numbers. If one number is wrong, it means that the previous related numbers are also wrong. This is a document that must be printed by the county magistrate's office and reported to the higher authorities. Returning a wrong number is actually equivalent to saying that the entire manuscript has to be copied again.

Seeing that the day after tomorrow is the time to send the papers to Zhoucheng on the 25th, it means that the recopied papers must be handed in tomorrow, such a thick stack, Lin Cheng, you bastard, just pick it up boil it.

Squeezing the thick case file in his hand, thinking about Lin Cheng's panda eyes when he came to deliver the paper at noon, and thinking about the fact that he would have to continue to work through tonight, the handyman who had already left the room couldn't help laughing anymore speak up.

After the handyman laughed, Lin Cheng naturally thought of Tang Cheng on the way to the west courtyard. The new Tang Lu was not simple, he was young, he was good-looking, and he looked kind, but Xia Tiaozi is shady but he is so old-fashioned, he always takes advantage of the reason, and only pinches people to death.

Thinking of this, the handyman couldn't help but weigh the document in his hand again. Could it be that Tang Lushi saw the mistake in this number yesterday?After all, it's speculation, and the handyman can't be sure, but if he saw it yesterday but deliberately didn't say anything and waited for Lin Cheng to get his way, then this person...

The handyman thought about it, and gradually slowed down the fast pace that he had been walking because he was anxious to see Lin Cheng suffer, and began to think carefully about everything in Tang Cheng's office just now in his mind.

Eyes, yes, eyes!The handyman gloated at Lin Cheng's misfortune just now, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now he calmed down and thought about it, only to remember that Tang Cheng's eyes were on his face when he entered twice...

The handyman suddenly thought of this, and the weather at the end of April couldn't help shivering. Most of the joy in his heart just now has gone. This is the person he will serve every day in the future, and he can't hide from it... …

"We must ask Lao Qian carefully to find out why he punished Lin Cheng so much." The handyman made up his mind, if Tang Lushi had a grudge with Lin Cheng, that would be fine, and it made sense to do so.If there is no grudge between the two of them... I have to find a way to transfer him away, I really can't afford to serve such a person!

At this point, the joy brought by the handyman's schadenfreude has completely disappeared. After sighing "Hey", he turned his feet and went to find the old money to ask about the situation first. When returning the papers, he took the opportunity to give the newcomer Tang Lushi some eye-salting in front of Lin Cheng. If the two of them could really pick a fight, it would be great to drive Tang Lushi away.

After all, after staying in the yamen for more than 20 years, the handyman is too proficient in the way of giving eye drops to people quietly. If he really wants to do this, it is because Lin Cheng's idiot can really be caught on fire and he doesn't know how to light it It's him.

But what puzzled the handyman was where did this Tang Lushi come from?Lin Cheng's father is an old knife pen from the county government who returned home because of his old age the year before last. He can speak in front of Master Yao or Zhao Huhu, but this Tang Lushi came from there. of?Carefully poking around in my heart, have you never heard of a big family with a surname in the county?No, I have to ask Lao Qian and the others about this matter, and we must find out his background.

Even if your official is as clean as water, it is hard to escape my official as slippery as oil.It is said that the yamen is the place where people are trained the most. Although the handyman is not an official, he has been in the yamen for more than 20 years. How many things have he seen?Already refined into a human essence.It is not surprising to have such thoughts and actions, not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in the government compound of later generations, there are also people like handymen, and I am afraid that the number will be even more.

Naturally, Tang Cheng didn't know the changes in the handyman's mood and mind. Now he was also thinking about Lin Cheng. Now he should have received the document returned for the second time, right?Maybe he was yelling at himself in the office?

Tang Cheng didn't care too much about Lin Cheng's reaction. After all, this is a yamen. As long as Lin Cheng still wanted to eat this kind of public food, he didn't dare to make a fuss. I was so angry that I wanted to vomit blood, so I could only endure it.

What Tang Cheng cares about is that Lin Cheng must be subdued this time. If he still refuses to accept after the paper is withdrawn this time, Tang Cheng doesn't mind, and he will not be soft at all for the third or fourth time. Anyway, he was sitting in this seat, Lin Cheng sent a lot of papers, and there were plenty of opportunities.

If it is said that Tang Cheng returned the paper for the first time yesterday to vent his anger, then Lin Cheng also vented his anger yesterday after being deflated. Today this time is purely for another consideration, not only to subdue Lin Cheng, What's more, through Lin Cheng's incident, other officials should have a proper understanding of him.

Not to mention that Lin Cheng ruined his reputation in the yamen before, but just talk about Lin Cheng's actions at noon yesterday. If Tang Cheng didn't fight back, maybe the other knife and pen officials would think of him. In short, nothing good would happen. .As soon as he officially joined the job, he was regarded as a coward. How will he live in the future?

There is power in the yamen, and it is also the most influential place. Most of the people inside are those who favor the popular and trample the black. Even if Tang Cheng didn't think about stepping on anyone, he must let people know that he can't just step on it!

Chapter 86 A small fortune!

Tang Cheng is not a grumpy person. Now that he has made up his mind, he put it aside without thinking too much, and gathers his mind to continue reading the paper.If you want to do business well in the future, familiarity with the county is the most basic requirement.

It took more than half an hour to read a document. Tang Cheng saw that the county magistrate Zhang hadn't called him, and was thinking about taking the time to go out and put Lancao'er in the good document. I saw the handyman leading a middle-aged man in a royal blue satin shirt over.

"Tang Lushi, this is the shopkeeper Wang of Baohe Building. I would like to see the magistrate. Look..." The handyman deliberately tilted his head while speaking to avoid meeting Tang Cheng's eyes. From words to demeanor, he is much more respectful than when he first met Tang Cheng yesterday afternoon. "Shopkeeper Wang, this is Tang Lushi. If you want to submit the name stab to the county magistrate, you must first hand it over to Tang Lushi."

Shopkeeper Wang was surprised at Tang Cheng's youth when he first met Tang Cheng, but he was a businessman for many years after all, and his vision was very poisonous. Many things happen.

The handyman in this county government office is actually the same as the waiter in the big wine shop. They are a steelyard in themselves, and anyone who can make them particularly respectful is either rich or noble.With the eyesight of shopkeeper Wang, it is natural to see that the handyman's care and respect for Tang Cheng is not in vain. From this point of view, the young and somewhat excessive Tang Lushi in front of him is either a powerful person or a tough one. Either way, you have to be careful.

After these thoughts flashed through Shopkeeper Wang's mind like calcium carbide sparks, he bowed his hands to Tang Cheng as a salute, which was a little more polite than the original salute.

"Talk in the room!" After Tang Cheng let shopkeeper Wang into the office to sit down, he opened the lacquered name card. There was not much written in it, but there were three items: name, place of origin and business.

Shopkeeper Wang waited for Tang Cheng to read it, then bowed his body with a smile and said, "This time I'm here to invite the county lord to come to the opening ceremony of the winery, and ask the county lord to write the shop sign."

Tang Cheng heard that Shopkeeper Wang wanted to invite County Magistrate Zhang to support the opening of Baohe Building and write a signboard, and he had already rejected the matter in his heart. With County Magistrate Zhang's current mood, how would he be willing to participate in such a dinner party? .If he just handed in the famous card like this, he might have to suffer a few words.

Since he was working as a secretary, he had to push those who should be pushed for County Magistrate Zhang, and block those who should be blocked.

But even though he thought so in his heart, Tang Cheng didn't show anything on his face, and asked, "Does magistrate Zhang know about the opening of the expensive wine shop today?".

Tang Chengyuan thought shopkeeper Wang was going to say "no", so he found an excuse to push it away, but shopkeeper Wang smiled and nodded when he heard it: "A few days ago, I asked County Captain Zhao to mention it." Once, today is a respectful invitation."

This newly opened Baohe Building is actually related to Zhao Huhu?Hearing this, Tang Cheng didn't ask any more questions, "Treasurer Wang, wait here for a while." After speaking, he took the famous thorn and the invitation card that shopkeeper Wang handed over to Zhang County Magistrate's office.

After seeing the famous thorns and invitations, magistrate Zhang nodded impatiently, but he still nodded and promised to arrive on time after the office was dismissed, but he was not in the mood to see the shopkeeper Wang, so he asked Tang Cheng to send him back to the restaurant at night See you later.

Shopkeeper Wang was very happy to hear that County Magistrate Zhang agreed to attend. He was not unhappy that the county magistrate did not receive him. After all, the social status of merchants is not high these days. Besides, he is not the owner of this restaurant, and Zhang County The reason why Ling agreed to attend was not because of his face.

Having achieved his goal, Shopkeeper Wang didn't stay any longer, and got up to bid farewell to Tang Cheng, but before he left, he took out a red-faced silver clay envelope from his sleeve and stuffed it in Tang Cheng's hand.

The well-crafted envelope in Tang Cheng's hand contained only one or two thin sheets of paper, needless to say, it should be a flying ticket, "Shopkeeper Wang, this is...".

"The opening of the building is just to take advantage of all kinds of happiness." Shopkeeper Wang cupped his hands again and said with a smile: "Excuse me, please me." After finishing speaking, he went out.

Shopkeeper Wang deliberately emphasized his tone when he mentioned "various ways". What does Tang Cheng not understand what he means?Thinking about it, it is the same as the opening of those restaurants in later generations. The relevant departments have to take care of everything that needs to be done, so as not to feel uncomfortable in the future.Although 300 years have passed, in fact, the feelings are different but the reason is the same.

In this regard, Tang Cheng did not push back hypocritically, after all, it is not good to be in the office, and besides, this kind of borrowed money is a smooth ride, if he really insists on not accepting it, he may even let shopkeeper Wang I saw that he had never seen the world.

Tang Cheng returned to his seat after seeing shopkeeper Wang go far away, and opened the envelope, and one of the two pieces of paper inside was a flying ticket worth three pennies.Sanguan money!If it is converted into the RMB of later generations, it is nine hundred, and if the price factor is considered, it is worth one thousand and two.

Holding the flying ticket for three pennies, Tang Cheng was really excited. He was used to being poor since he traveled through time. Now, sitting still, he got three pennies without any effort or risk. How could he? unhappy?His current salary is only three times a month and six times a month. Speaking of which, this borrowing money is equivalent to half a month's salary.This is only the second day of his official entry.

No wonder so many people in the county school have sharpened their heads to find a job in the county government!The civil servants of the Tang Dynasty are really capable!
