Scholar and old attack

From this day on, Xu Shuizhou would come to deliver food every day, and every time he delivered food, he would help Jiang Jingyuan to calculate the account for an hour. In addition, Jiang Jingyuan's own speed is not slow, and the account will be calculated on the tenth day.

Because Xu Shuizhou delivered meals to Jiang Jingyuan every day, some officials in the household department wanted to invite the newly appointed Shangguan to dinner, but they couldn't find a chance.

Chen Dongyang, the Qing official of Datong, especially wanted to invite Jiang Jingyuan to dinner, thinking that Jiang Jingyuan also came from Datong, and there was something to talk about when the two got close.

But every noon, Xu Shuizhou came, and he didn't want to disturb the young couple having lunch. He wanted to wait for Xu Shuizhou to leave, and then he would come to the door, but once he went in, he couldn't come out until he was on his way out.

At night, Jiang Jingyuan went down ahead of them again, and he couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.

How could it be possible for Chen Dongyang's petty tricks to hide from other colleagues? He looked at Jiang Jingyuan's office eagerly at this meeting, and couldn't help but tease him.

"Master Chen, don't look at me helplessly, our Master Jiang has a wide range of vision, I'm afraid we might look down on us."

Luo Xiangrong, a Langzhong in Shuzhou, was a little yin and yang, and he couldn't understand Chen Dongyang's hot face and cold butt.

According to the past, any superior official who takes office has to invite the subordinate officials to a meal, not to mention the best high-rise building in Kyoto, and the second-best Feihongju. Not a word was mentioned.

He is still Taifu Gu's closed disciple, and he doesn't understand this bit of human sophistication, so he might be a bad mess in the officialdom in the future.

Seeing Chen Dongyang rushing to airs at this moment, it is inevitable to pour cold water on him.

Chen Dongyang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize what Luo Xiangrong was complaining about. After thinking about it for a while, his old face smiled. This Luo Xiangrong is usually a little bit good at cheating. Seeing that Jiang Jingyuan hasn't made any movement after ten days in office, he naturally looks down on him.

After all, the Shangguan didn't need to invite these subordinate officials, but the Shangguan had to invite the Shangguan's Shangguan to dinner, which was a bit intriguing.

But Chen Dongyang is nearly sixty years old, and he can return to his hometown after staying in the officialdom for a few more years. He doesn't have much extravagance in this life, he just wants to do a good job as an official for the remaining years.

It is very necessary to please the superior. After all, the new official has three fires when he takes office. If he is not pleasing to the eye, he will be demoted or assigned to a different place. His old bones can't afford it.

"Old Chen, don't worry about it. Didn't you see the officials from the top and bottom of the household department are all looking around? Whether Mr. Jiang's position can be kept will wait for the next few days."

As soon as Jiang Jingyuan took office, he was assigned a matter by Master Shangshu. No one in the entire household department knew about it, and even the other six departments were inquiring about it openly and secretly.

That's right, Jiang Jingyuan sat in the position of Hubu servant at such a young age, so many people watched eagerly, waiting to see how miserable Jiang Jingyuan would be when he fell down.

In addition, the emperor threw a lot of temper on Lord Shangshu in the court, satirizing Lord Shangshu overtly and secretly for being stupid, can Lord Shangshu not be angry?

This anger needs to find a punching bag, whoever is young is in his eyes.

Chen Dongyang's heart skipped a beat, these days he was thinking about flattery, but he forgot about this important matter, feeling a little panicked in his heart.

He didn't want to be dismissed from office so early and go home so early, so he put it on hold for the time being and waited until Jiang Jingyuan gained a firm foothold in the future.

The people below were talking about Jiang Jingyuan, and Xu Shuizhou was no exception. Looking at Jiang Jingyuan, who was squatting at his feet and gently massaging his hands, he was a little dazed.

The sunlight outside the house hit the two of them, stretching the silhouettes long. Jiang Jingyuan's fair side face was dripping in the sunlight, and his eyelashes were printed with a layer of brilliance.

"Aren't you going to invite people from the household department to dinner? I figured it would cost me a few hundred taels to climb a tall building. The family can still afford it."

Xu Shuizhou knew that people in the capital paid more attention to face, no matter how clean Taifu Gu's family was, they still had dozens of servants and several good horses.

He had also inquired that when a Beijing official took office, no matter how big or small he would entertain guests, a senior official like Jiang Jingyuan should treat guests even more.

Now it is silent, which is controversial for no reason.

"No, please save the money to buy a house. You can't live in the teacher's house all the time. Besides, didn't you say you want to start a newspaper office? It would be nice to save the money to do something meaningful."

Without raising his head, Jiang Jingyuan massaged Xu Shuizhou's plump hands. Even though they were chubby hands, they might be doing something.

There are only a few people in the world who can dial five abacus with both hands. His husband's hands are precious and must be taken care of.

It was a pity to let him work in the fields before.

Xu Shuizhou was a little nah, he just said it casually that day, but Jiang Jingyuan really listened to it, his lips were slightly pursed, and before he could speak, Jiang Jingyuan asked first, "Are your hands still sore? Bubble."

Xu Shuizhou moved his ten fingers, and the soreness at the joints disappeared a lot, and he moved much more sensitively. He quickly raised his head and smiled, "It's not sore anymore, it's very comfortable."

"I went to see a few houses that were too cheap, and too expensive."

In fact, according to Xu Shuizhou, it is enough to buy a house in the suburbs of Beijing. Anyway, there are not many people in the family, but thinking about Jiang Jingyuan, a dignified third-rank official, living in the suburbs of Beijing, not to mention safety, I am afraid that I will laugh at others.

"Then let's put it aside for now. You should prepare for the newspaper office first, but wait for the reporter to wait. I have arrangements."

Jiang Jingyuan doesn't worry about where he lives now, and he doesn't panic in his heart. He knows that Xu Shuizhou can't be idle. The little industry in Wutong County can't hold him back for a long time. When he comes to this capital, he is really afraid to find something to do for him. He is bored.

Xu Shuizhou thought for a while, knowing that A Yuan was thinking of him, and smiled sweetly, the dimples were like candied fruit wrapped in candied fruit, sweetening into the pit of the heart, "That's fine, as long as I don't get bored at home."

"Mo Mo and Qiqi are learning to walk recently, and they may be tormenting others at home, so I can only hide here for a while."

Xu Shuizhou didn't want to stay at home for a long time. Seeing the savings in his family decrease day by day, he couldn't help but feel a sense of insecurity in his heart.

It may be that he grew up poor and has an urgent love for money.

Jiang Jingyuan gently placed Xu Shuizhou's head on his shoulder, allowing him to rest for a while, and said softly, "Thank you, I will teach them to read and write when I go back today, and when I can read, I will lock them in the study."

Xu Shuizhou was almost laughed at by Jiang Jingyuan, he leaned on Jiang Jingyuan's shoulder and smiled lowly, shrugging his shoulders, "How can you be such a father, you want your children to read books before their first birthday Literate, can you understand?"

Xu Shuizhou said scolding words, but actually there was a deep smile on his brows and eyes.

"Why not, anyway, when they were in your stomach, they were listening to me reading, maybe they really learn quickly."

Jiang Jingyuan put his arms around Xu Shuizhou's waist, and the two sat on the steps of the public house, looking at the red peach blossoms outside the window.

A gust of wind blew through, and a few peach blossoms blew in, and fell beside the two of them, reflecting the spring sunshine, I just felt that the years were quiet and beautiful.

"What about the ledger? There are so many corruptions. From top to bottom, there are not a few clean ones. This is because some corrupt officials were wiped out last year. It is conceivable that our Ming Dynasty is rotten to the root. "

The two leaned together quietly for a while, but Xu Shuizhou was the first to break the beauty between them.

It hurts his heart when he thinks that the country he thought was prosperous and prosperous has rotted like this.

When he was in Wutong County, he couldn't bear the crisis at all, but now when he comes into contact with the general situation of the country, he really has a huge sense of fear.

Can the country be saved after it has rotted like this? Think about the generals guarding the frontier who have no medicine for injuries, no food for war, and even winter without a cotton coat, just relying on cold armor to resist the wind and cold.

Even when a soldier died fighting for his country, he couldn't even eat a hot mouthful before he died, and his heart was aching for a while. Is there anyone willing to protect such a country?

However, whether it is Wala, the Kingdom of Jin, or even the people on the grassland, they are a group of robbers who can only burn, kill and loot. It really made them break through the frontier and come straight to Kyoto. His family, his children, and his husband finally died. Will only die under their iron hooves.

Jiang Jingyuan raised Xu Shuizhou's worried face, and gently placed a wet kiss on his forehead, "If the sky falls, there will be a tall one to support it, don't be afraid, I will protect you forever with me."

Jiang Jingyuan regretted letting Xu Shuizhou get in touch with these dark sides at this moment. If he had known that he would be so worried, it would be better to let him live a carefree life.

Xu Shuizhou took Jiang Jingyuan's hand with his backhand, interlocked his fingers, and raised it in front of the two of them, "As you said, everyone will prosper, and everyone will lose. I want to accompany you on this journey."

The road to reform is not early, and those who proposed reform throughout the history have no good end in the end, but he wants to accompany his A Yuan crazy to save this country that has been corrupted to the bone.

"No rush, let's take it step by step."

Jiang Jingyuan smiled and nodded Xu Shuizhou's small nose, and couldn't resist rubbing his nose against Xu Shuizhou's.

"Master Jiang, there is an urgent note below. Lord Pan and Master Shangshu are not here, so I can only ask you to make a decision."

It was lunch time at this time, and no one with a little ability in the household department was there. Jiang Jingyuan was the only highest official left, and there was a soldier waiting outside the door who was in urgent need of [-] li. Not sure about paying attention, so I had to ask Jiang Jingyuan for advice.

Because he was too anxious, this person didn't even think about knocking on the door, he just pushed the door open and entered, just in time to see Jiang Jingyuan gently rubbing the tip of Xu Shuizhou's nose, the two people's hair fluttering in the breeze, their brows collided, and they were all charming.

Wu Xiaoxuan, a doctor in Yunzhou, blushed, was stunned, and hurriedly stepped out and coughed, "Master Jiang, I didn't see anything."

Xu Shuizhou hurriedly pushed Jiang Jingyuan away, blushed and lowered his head, pretending to straighten his clothes.

Jiang Jingyuan looked natural, got up and walked towards Wu Xiaoxuan, and asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

"It's about the tea mountain in Yunzhou. People from the two villages fought, and someone burned a tea mountain. The local government organized people to put out the fire and only kept a small piece. The important thing is that the tea mountain grows Pu'er tea. Now this The thing is that there is a lot of trouble in Yunzhou, the key household department and the grassland mutual market have signed a contract for this tea long ago, and if the delivery cannot be delivered at the due date, I am afraid that the two countries will fight each other."

When Wu Xiaoxuan heard Jiang Jingyuan's words, he quickly recalled the shock just now, and told Jiang Jingyuan the importance of the matter.

Jiang Jingyuan frowned, and quickly wrote on the notebook.

The author has something to say: Ah, I also want to add more, but I have to get up at [-] o'clock every morning to buy vegetables and cook, and then go to the hospital to deliver the meals. At noon, I will cook and stew soup again. of.

After shaving all the big bones in the afternoon, my hands were trembling.

I used to look after my dad in the hospital, and I could still write while he was sleeping, but he had an operation and couldn’t move. I was in the hospital and he was too embarrassed to let me carry shit, so my mom had to go, and I came back to cook.

I didn't really think it was so difficult to cook at home before, but now I have experienced it, it is really tiring, and my mother is really great.

Now I follow the steps until I am woken up by the earthquake, and I can go shopping lightly. If I go late, there will be no fresh vegetables and meat in the supermarket...
