After the two of them got out of the bath, the yamen servants rushed to serve old ginger soup to drive away the cold, and a table of farm dishes with fat chicken and cured fish, telling them to eat before going to bed.These were all arranged by County Magistrate Song, but he was getting old, he had to drive through the rainstorm during the day, and waited until night in fear of waiting for his son, and he couldn't hold on to sleep anymore.

Song Shi felt sorry for the love of his father and father, but the disaster was like a fire. As the son of a leading cadre... he had to set an example and take the lead, so he had no choice but to make his family feel wronged.At any rate, his father already knew that he was safe and sound, and his biological mother was even more anxious in the county government, so she had to comfort her when she returned home.

He was thinking about his own family affairs, and suddenly remembered that Senior Brother Huan ran away from home to Fujian alone. The family members didn't know how worried they were, so he hurriedly asked, "Did Senior Brother Huan come from Beijing on leave? Isn't Lingmei just about to go?" Candidate for princess, you should be by your side as an older brother, why did you come to Fujian? Will the marriage be delayed? Doesn’t Mr. Zong Xian blame you for asking for leave right after you started work?”

"The king of Zhou's big wedding is decided by the emperor and arranged by the Ministry of Rites. As an elder brother, I can't do much." Huan Ling smiled, and pushed him a cup of hot winter melon meatball soup that had just been served, indifferently. Said: "I didn't ask for leave, but I went to Tingzhou Prefecture to take up the post. However, from Beijing to Fujian to take office, according to the regulations, I was given a three-month schedule. I resigned from the court on the tenth day of June. Now Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, we can still stay in Wuping for a while."

He looked down at the dishes in the bowl, but glanced at Song Shi from the corner of his eye, wanting to see if he hated the remarriage just like his father, and didn't want to spend any more time in Wuping County.

The chopsticks in Song Shi's hands were about to scare him away, and he pressed the table towards him, and asked anxiously, "Why did you send it to Fujian! We received a letter from home a few days ago, saying that you passed the exam." You became a second-class Jinshi, and you entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate following the teacher's mantle... Could it be that you have impeached some unspeakable person, so that someone framed him so far?"

Huan Ling raised his eyes suddenly, and the shame and remorse that pierced his heart for several months seemed to have calmed down Song Shi's concerned expression a lot, and he smiled a little unconsciously, and replied softly: "I didn't have any grudges with anyone, I just don't want to stay. In the center, I have invited you to come to Fujian."

A censor who inspected the imperial court didn't serve the imperial court well, and went to a state capital in Fujian to be the third in command... Could it be that he felt sorry for him because of the divorce and came here to punish himself?

No, there is no need at all!

In fact, he doesn't really want to get married, he's still young...his body is still young!He is just at the age when he is fighting for his career and studies, and he doesn't even plan to think about personal problems before passing the Jinshi exam!

Besides, if you want to apologize for the marriage, shouldn't you help yourself find a good partner in Beijing?Why did this little brother leave his promising job at the central government and come to the local government as a deputy?

Song Shi really felt the heartache of fans in the entertainment industry, and pressed his chest and asked, "Brother, can you still go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate? No, you still have the title of Beijing official, are you considered an angel? Not to mention the deputy envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, at least Should I donate a Zhongshu?" After all, the status of a Beijing official is higher than that of a pure local official, and if he can still carry the title of censor, it will be an angel descending, and it will not be deliberately suppressed or embarrassing.

No, he resigned his official position and said goodbye to relatives, so he came here cleanly.

Huan Ling didn't regret being moved to a foreign official, but seeing Song Shi's expression of hope hidden in regret, he couldn't bear to tell the truth directly, and replied tactfully: "Grandfather has moved to the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. As the grandson of an important minister, neither the superior nor my colleagues will easily embarrass me."

By the way, Senior Brother Huan is the grandson of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites is qualified to join the cabinet, and others would not dare to embarrass him for the sake of the future cabinet elder.

Song Shi smiled awkwardly, and said dryly: "I actually forgot about the matter of the boss being promoted, brother, don't be surprised."

——He was really hotheaded just now, thinking that Senior Brother Huan should not abandon his future and come to work somewhere, but he forgot that his grandfather was promoted to Minister of Rites, and his younger sister, who was running for the princess election, would soon become a relative of the emperor, It's simply not her turn to worry about him.

He wanted to pour a glass of wine to ease the atmosphere, but Huan Ling grabbed the jug and poured two glasses first. He raised his glass and said, "For this glass of wine, let me make amends to Uncle Shi and Third Brother on behalf of my family."

He drank the wine neatly, but he didn't want Song Shi to force it down and be forced to say the words to forgive his family for what they had done before.He emptied the glass of wine next to him, poured another glass for himself immediately, and said with a smile: "This glass is to congratulate our brothers and sisters for reuniting after more than two years."

This time he gave Song Shi another glass of wine, but before he drank it, he poured another glass and said, "I'm new to Fujian, and I'm not familiar with the place, but this glass is for the uncle and the uncle Brother, take care of me more in the future."

Song Shi finally caught up with him, drank the glass of the farmhouse's self-brewed white wine, and responded with a smile: "Senior brother, why are you being polite to me? But when you first came to Fujian, I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to such a hot and humid climate. We have stored a lot of Huoxiang Zhengqi water in the county government office, and I will give you a few bottles later, drinking it on the way can prevent heatstroke and dampness."

Huo Xiang's righteous prescriptions were downloaded when he was in Guangxi. There are two kinds of prescriptions: liquid medicine and pills, but they can't be made into capsules.He tried out both, and tasted that Huoxiang Zhengqi Water tasted as bad as the ones he had drunk before, so he sent the recipe home.There is an alcohol steamer at home that he made when he was making insecticides. Every year, he makes some Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and when he is done, he will send a few bottles to Huan's family.

I won't send it to Beijing in the future, just give it to Senior Brother Huan Xiao alone.

He drank a glass and reached for the jug. Huan Ling poured it for him with the jug, put another chicken leg on his plate, and persuaded him, "I saw you were too thin just now. I'm afraid it's because of this." Isn’t it consumed by running river workers in summer? Eat more meat and supplements, and drink two glasses of wine. Although this wine is made in the farmhouse, it is a bit mellow after I eat it. You just came back from a tired day and ate too much wine Not good."

Song Shi wanted to argue that he also had muscles, but thinking about the crushing good figure he saw in the ear room just now, he couldn't boast, so he sighed and nodded.

He was afraid that Huan Ling would bring up the marriage again, or say that he was thin, so he took the initiative to ask, "When is Brother Huan going to take up this post? Originally, you, a Shangguan, came to our Wuping, and the county should have a good reception, but it's a pity that you just caught up with me when you first arrived." Flooding, and accompanied me to inspect the river embankment in the rainstorm, now I can only treat you to eat..."

"'Mo Xiao's farmhouse's Lajiu is muddy, and there are enough chickens and pigs to attract customers in good years'. Lu Fangweng also served as the Tongpan of Longxing Mansion. If Lu Tongpan loves the authentic flavor of the farmhouse's wine and vegetables, how could Huan Tongpan not love them?" Huan Ling Put a chopsticks of fried lotus root in his own bowl, and replied with a smile: "I'm still nearly a month away from my term of office. If Third Brother Song doesn't dislike it, I think I will stay in Wuping until September. If you have free time, we can Like in the past...we can still study scriptures together."

Two years later in the Song Dynasty, the Juren examination was also required. It is of course good to be able to get a second-class Jinshi to tutor in studying.But this month there are frequent floods, he has to take the leadership responsibility and take the lead in fighting floods; and this time the flood flooded several villages of fertile fields, he has to take this opportunity to urge the people to replant autumn wheat, miscellaneous beans, and vegetables. Have time to entertain Senior Brother Huan?

It is unknown how many days it will take for the heavy rain to stop, let alone when the water in the fields will recede.Even if it recedes, the fertile soil on the ground is washed away with the water, the land is not strong enough, and the best time to plant rice seedlings is missed. After the flood, locusts are easy to infest... This year, even if the government loans low-interest winter wheat to the people, teach They mix soil with chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the output of crops and vegetables stubbled in autumn must also be reduced. I am afraid that they will have to find big households to solicit food and help the poor to survive the winter.

Where will the autumn grain for February next year come from?

In previous years, when I was in Guangxi, there were occasional torrential rains, but the terraced fields there were easy to drain, and it rained again in May and June. After the harvest, I could replant autumn stubble to make up for the loss.Here in Wuping, there are many mountains and few fields. Now it is the time for the late rice to be filled. If you wash one piece, you will actually reduce the yield. Don't you worry about people?

Over the years, he has been in charge of the work of the county and has suffered from occupational diseases. When he thinks of the hardships of the masses, his heart is so hot that he forgets the sage books without knowing it.

It didn't work though.This time he lost even fifty cents in his account, and could only read the free one or two pages in front of journal articles, or the table of contents and abstracts of papers.

He raised his hand in worry and rubbed the center of his brow.But he didn't want Senior Brother Huan to wait for him to answer. After waiting for a long time, he waited for his sad expression. He was worried that he didn't want to get along with him anymore, so he took the initiative to ask him: "What is Song San brother thinking? Long stay?"

If Song Shi didn't want to, he had no choice but to take office early, and go to the mansion to see what he could do to help him.

Song Shi was staring at the Fujian Autumn Grain search page. He didn't want to prevent him from suddenly asking what he was thinking, and without thinking too much, he said straightforwardly, "I'm afraid that this flood will affect the autumn harvest. Next year's autumn grain will not be easy to raise."

Thinking of the heavy rain outside and the worry and fear of seeing Song Shi's figure at the breach of the levee, Huan Ling couldn't help but frowned slightly. Like him, he reached out and rubbed the center of his brows, and sighed: "It's raining so hard, I'm afraid it's hard for manpower. If it's autumn grain If I can’t collect it, I will write a letter for Shibo asking the imperial court to reduce the autumn grain after I go back. It is true that our Wuping suffered a disaster, and I am not afraid of the censor to investigate, what do you think?”

Yes, what if the court can reduce the exemption?They will have more money to help the affected people, and do a good job in post-disaster relief and reconstruction.

A light flashed in his eyes, he turned off Jinjiang.com, which always loses chains at critical moments, and bowed to Huanling: "It's still senior brother who is thoughtful, I only think about how to grow food, and I almost made a mistake. This matter has to be resolved." Brother please help, our county reports the disaster situation, sometimes the superior does not approve."

County Magistrate Song is an official, and his status is the same as that of a maidservant and wife. Naturally, he is a Jinshi with a low-jia background.Huan Ling was different, he was the No.10 Jinshi in the second class, and he had also been admitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Lord Yushi would always look at him highly.

What's more, he also has a grandfather who is a servant of the Ministry of Rites.

As for Huan Shilang's willingness to be given this face, that's no need to think about it, anyway, his grandson is willing.

Huan Ling immediately restrained his sorrow, and responded to the matter vigorously, and praised his younger brother: "I can only think of the means of communicating and entrusting in the officialdom, but I am not as careful as the third brother who cares about the suffering of the people."

He said again: "When I came here, I asked about the disposition of the inspector censor, Mr. Huang. I heard that he was born in a rich family. He is a bit picky about his diet and daily life. He is also good at poetry and opera. Shiguan, please entertain him." Be more careful."

"..." Tsk, little brother Huan called out again.Looking at him, I have called him Little Senior Brother in my heart for so many years, but I have never said the word "little" in person.

Song Shi pretended not to hear his slip of the tongue, and calmly thanked him: "Well, I have a plan. But Yushi is far away in the provincial capital, and he won't be able to come to Wuping for a while, brother, let's plan where to stay first. But Do you want to live in a government hotel, or in a county government office? The government hotel in this county is pretended by me personally, it is elegant and comfortable, and if you live in it, you won’t want to go to work.”

Although the Fu Hotel is good, it's a pity that Huan Ling is not very convenient to live in.

He laughed and said, "I haven't taken office yet. If I live in your mansion hotel, won't everyone know that I made a detour to Wuping in advance? Let the censor know, but I will be impeached. I'll take the status of your elder brother first." I stayed in the county government office, and I also learned how to be a foreign official from Shibo—I came in a hurry, and I still don’t know what to do in order to judge, and I haven’t found a good teacher. Bad job."

Song Shi just got his help to solve a major matter, how can he see him in trouble?So he volunteered and said: "Brother, don't worry, you still have a month to take office, and you can slowly find an experienced friend. Fortunately, I know all the ways of transferring documents between state governments. I also know something about classes and other things, if you can't find a suitable teacher at that time, I will go to the mansion to help you take a look, and come back when you find a suitable teacher."

Huan Wen was also not polite to him, cupped his hands and said, "Then I thank third brother in advance."

The author has something to say: I love Senior Brother Huan, and I don’t need to write poems when I’m with Senior Brother Huan!By the way, I forgot to mark it in the words. In fact, in the first 13 chapters, the corresponding poems written by the scholars and Shi Guaner when discussing the test questions "Clouds make up for the gaps in Cangshan Mountain" are all found in the "Compilation of Qing Dynasty Zhujuan"
