Bao Zheng didn't show the slightest surprise, he knew how talented his little sister was in medicine.At the age of eight, the younger sister worshiped under the name of the old man of Luling, a famous doctor. At the age of 12, she was already a teacher.The old man of Luling once told people that his closed disciple was a rare talent who was rare in a hundred years, and he had nothing to teach in just four years.

My little sister is so good!

"This bag contains freshly marinated pork knuckle and a can of beef brisket. It tastes salty and spicy, but it can be preserved for a longer time. The brown cloth is wrapped with some dry noodles, all of which are over-oiled. When eating Just soak it in hot water. If there is no hot water, it doesn’t matter. Sprinkle some seasonings and eat it dry. It is crispy and delicious. It has a special flavor. No matter how you cook it, this noodle cake is very convenient. Stewed pork, beef jerky It tastes very good when paired with this oily dry noodles." Fang Mu said again.

If there is nothing to do, who would want to run away from home? It is good to be at home, but it is difficult to go out!But it's all right now, with the food prepared by the little lady, going out is no worse than staying in the mansion!Bao Xing was so greedy that he swallowed, thinking.

"Just to make your life more comfortable on the way to Beijing, my little sister used up all the small jars of peppers that were saved at home. If we want to eat boiled fish fillets, we will have to wait until next year!" Bao Shan murmured .

As far as what he said, anyone who heard it would feel sour in his heart.

"This is the first time for third brother to travel far away. The more thorough the preparation, the better. You, the eldest brother, why are you so fussy!" The Wang family raised Bao Zheng as his son, and he didn't like to hear Bao Shan's joke-like sourness. After talking, he buried him.

Old Bao Shan blushed, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Aren't I joking? Although this pepper is a good thing, how can it be compared with the third brother?"

"Since elder brother likes it, it's okay for me to take less than three or five catties of stewed meat, and save some wine for elder brother!" Bao Zheng had a serious and serious aura, and he seemed so sincere in everything he said.

However, Bao Shan consciously has seen through everything!His younger brother couldn't... say that on purpose, right? !It seems that he is caring, sensible, loving and modest...

Bao Shan stared at Bao Zheng very sadly, with one meaning in his eyes: third brother, you have changed!You are no longer that upright, honest and friendly third brother! !

Bao Zheng smiled and said nothing, in fact...he didn't understand what the elder brother's eyes meant.

"How can I miss the big brother's share? The stewed beef and crystal hoofs are already in the back kitchen. The beef is spicy and delicious, the hoofs are crystal clear, and the elbow meat is soft. It's the most suitable for drinking, but big brother, can you— —" Fang Mu endured a smile.

"Remember, remember, you can drink at most one glass of wine in three days!" Bao Shan suddenly burst into laughter and nodded hastily.

It's not that he remembers those stutters, although...it's really tempting to drool, he just wants to make people remember him, no, Fang Mu will be happy when he coaxes him.It is said that old children, old children, his current temperament is not like a child.

Two more days later, Bao Zheng and Bao Xing left home with large and small parcels on their backs, and went straight to Bianliang, Tokyo, to go to the Spring Festival in March.Because of Fang Mu's thorough preparation, Bao Zheng and Bao Xing not only did not suffer any crimes along the way, but also made friends with several heroes because of the medicine and food they carried with them.There is no need to elaborate at the moment, and I will list it in detail later.

In the end, Bao Zheng won the No.20 three Jinshi, and was appointed as the magistrate of Dingyuan County, Fengyang Prefecture.After receiving the official certificate, Bao Zheng didn't delay much in Tokyo, Dang even packed his luggage and left Beijing to go home at dawn the next day.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight along the way, and the master and servant finally entered Luzhou City in the afternoon of April 29th.

"Third brother, you have suffered these days. Look at you, you are dark—you have lost weight, yes, you have lost weight!" Even Wang, who loves Bao Zheng like his own son, can't go against his conscience and say that Bao Zheng is black. It's always been this dark!

"Just come back safely! These days, your sister-in-law and younger sister have been restless, worrying about it every day..." Bao Shan patted Bao Zheng's shoulder and said.Fame and wealth are good, but the safety and joy of the family is the most important thing.

Bao Zheng only felt that most of the exhaustion in his body had disappeared, and his whole body seemed to be immersed in warm water, which was warm and comfortable.

After Bao Zheng took a shower and changed his clothes, the meals prepared by Fang Mu himself filled the entire table, most of which were light and easy to digest.When Bao Zheng returned, he didn't have those stewed meat and instant noodles to eat, not to mention eating and sleeping in the open, but it was not much better. If he suddenly ate some fish and meat with thick oil and red sauce, he might hurt his stomach and body.

That night, Bao's family sat around the same place to cleanse up Bao Zheng, who had won the Jinshi. It was very lively.Even the second elder brother Bao and the second sister-in-law of the Bao family, who had never been close to Bao Zheng, laughed heartily and kept saying festive words.

Afterwards, Bao Zheng would follow his elder brother to pay homage to the ancestors, to thank his mentor Mr. Ning, and to meet and chat with his classmates and friends. It was a very busy few days.Next, Bao Zheng will not be idle, he has to decide which ones he wants to go to Dingyuan County with him, and what items to bring, after all, it is not possible to leave Dingyuan County after a year or so.

Fang Mu proposed to go to Dingyuan County with Bao Zheng to take care of his basic necessities of life.Although Bao Zheng didn't express his opinion clearly, he was very happy in his heart. He was used to the delicious food prepared by Fang Mu's skillful hands, so how could he eat anything else?Although Bao Shan and Wang Shi were reluctant to let Fang Mu leave home, they also didn't want Bao Zheng to have no relatives to take care of him, so in a dilemma, they simply didn't say anything.

A few days later, Bao Zheng and Fang Mu bid farewell to their brother and sister-in-law, and took Bao Xing with them to their posts.When they approached the boundary of Dingyuan County, Bao Zheng and the others changed into different clothes, made private visits along the way, and secretly checked the people's conditions.They found that the third class of yamen servants in Dingyuan County acted casually, and most of them looked tired. They might bully the weak and fear the hard, but they were not the kind of black-hearted people.As for Dingyuan's No. [-] bully, Pi Xiong, his reputation is really stinky, he steals and robs women, and he is about to do bad things.

Bao Zheng kept all these in his heart. After he took office, he first called the three classes of yamen servants and scribes to the back hall, and told them one by one what he had witnessed with his own eyes.Before Bao Zheng reprimanded them, these individuals had already lowered their heads, ashamed.

Hu Butou said: "Master, it's not that we want to be such evil officials. When we first entered the yamen, who never thought of serving the country and benefiting the village, but what can we do? Those gentry and bullies, the county magistrate can't take care of them, so we will arrest them." No, I can only watch as I run amok in the countryside, causing harm to the people. After a long time, I will become numb..."

"Regardless of what happened before, from today onwards, this county hopes that you will not forget your passion back then, to seek the well-being of the common people, and to protect the peace and tranquility in the village. If you meet someone who breaks the law and discipline, just arrest him in the hall, and the county will meet himself." Deal with it according to the law." Bao Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices were clear and powerful, and their mental outlook was hundreds of times better than before.

"In that case, then—" Bao Zheng said.

"Xiao Lang... um, it's the master! The young lady said that the kitchen has prepared the meals for the adults, and asked if it's time to start the meal?" Bao Xing came in from the outside and bowed.What came with him was an extremely strong smell of food, which made these yamen servants and scribes secretly swallow their saliva.

This is... the taste of vegetarian roasted cabbage! !

Yes, yes—is it the smell of roasted duck? !This scent is simply amazing!

Why does this meat smell so much like hare meat?No, it's not like it, it's a hundred times more fragrant than my own mother-in-law!

……

These dozens of people turned their heads to stare at Bao Zheng in unison, their eyes were a little brighter than the candlelight at night, and there were only two words written on each piece of rough or white skin - want to eat.

"If that's the case...then everyone stay and have dinner together!" Bao Zheng felt that his face must have darkened again.I don't know if it's still too late to change a group of subordinates...

Of course it was too late! !

As soon as they took a bite, these people had already strengthened their beliefs—obey orders, listen to commands, and follow Master Bao faithfully!

It's a good thing that Bao Zheng doesn't know how to read minds, so he doesn't know how disheartening these subordinates really are, otherwise that black face will probably turn white with anger.

After being entertained by the Shangguan with good food and drink, the yamen servants and clerks had the nerve to be lazy and fish for fish. From noon to evening, they did all the daily work for five days.The Dingyuan county government office became clean and tidy, and the case files and books were neatly stacked on Bao Zheng's desk according to the items. The little official in charge of the gate control greeted people with a smile, and the people passing by were scared and fled away.

"There is a saying in the historical records that food is the most important thing for the people. So, if there is something that can't be solved with one meal, then it will be two." Fang Mu said to Bao Zheng with a smile while eating dinner.

"Nonsense!" Bao Zheng reprimanded lightly, "Don't do this again in the future. Cooking meals for these dozen people is not an easy task. What to do if you are tired!"

"I made my brother worry!" Fang Mu knew Bao Zheng's intentions, she said: "At first, I only wanted to use this meal to bring my brother closer to these low officials, so as to reduce the resistance for my brother, so I didn't I have too many worries, I won’t do it in the future. I will teach the two sisters-in-law of the county government’s back kitchen some dishes, and if there is another banquet, I will ask them to do it.”

"That's great." Bao Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

This season is when there is plenty of rain. Not long after dinner, there are raindrops falling from the sky. Gradually, it forms a light rain. The raindrops hit the glazed tiles and make a crisp sound, which is very pleasant.The remaining heat in the house was blown away by the cool wind blowing from the window, and it was necessary to put a thin quilt on the body to fall asleep.

When it dawned the next day, the sky had cleared up, and the leaves of several green trees in the yard were crisp and dripping, with clear raindrops hanging on them. Several clusters of miscellaneous flowers were bullied by the drizzle all night, and some petals were knocked down on the ground. on the ground.

Fang Mu got up early, breathed the fresh air in the courtyard, moved his waist down and punched, and his body felt more comfortable after a set of punches.After having breakfast with Bao Zheng, she asked the two sister-in-laws in the back kitchen to take her to the places in the city where they bought dried and fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat, and bought some ingredients for her return.

There are not a few men who are dumbfounded by Fang Mu, but they all have brains. Seeing Fang Mu's exquisite clothes, elegant demeanor, and someone following him, his status must be unusual, so they dare not go forward to provoke him.But there was the one who didn't have long eyes and no brains, waving a folding fan to block the way of Fang Mu and others, his slender eyes almost narrowed into a slit when he smiled, and said: "Which family is this little lady, what's wrong with you?" Born so handsome!"
