Chongxi husband and wife who are sick

Si Yun and Feng Heng wanted to find the county magistrate to strike first and cut off Feng Yunjun's retreat. They didn't have any vicious methods, but were upright, so their idea was to make Feng's family what Feng Yunjun did. Tell the county magistrate truthfully and let him investigate.

However, the character of the county magistrate and how to talk to the county magistrate need to be considered.

Therefore, they flattered the county master without seeing them. As the saying goes: Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will win every battle. Even if they don't fight, they must first understand the county master's character and character, as well as other small hobbies.And the person they can inquire about is the second treasurer.

They should have inquired clearly earlier, but because it was a temporary plan, they didn't have time to inquire.And on the way from Cuiyuntang to Mengdieyuan, he didn't ride in the same carriage as the second shopkeeper, so he lost his chance.

The garden party started, Si Yun and Feng Heng admired the flowers in the yard for a while, then walked to the side of the second shopkeeper.

"Second shopkeeper, I don't know if you have time, but I have something to trouble you." Si Yun said apologetically.

The second shopkeeper supported the beard on his chin and laughed, as if he knew their plan, and said, "It's okay, just wait a moment, I'll be right over."

The second shopkeeper was talking to several shopkeepers, some of those shopkeepers were running shops and some were running silk shops, and they were chatting.The second shopkeeper talked to those shopkeepers, and then went to Si Yun and Feng Heng's side.

The winter garden was very big, and the three of them arrived at an inconspicuous corner of the garden. From here, they could see the county magistrate standing beside Boss Huang.At first glance, the county magistrate looked like an elegant middle-aged scholar, but at the second glance, he could see the majesty of a national civil servant on his face.

"You want to know the character of the county magistrate Chen." The second shopkeeper went straight to the point.

Si Yun nodded and chuckled, and bowed, "Exactly, please trouble the second shopkeeper."

"Hehe, it's not troublesome." The second shopkeeper said, "When I asked the boy to tell you this matter yesterday, I had the idea of ​​asking you to seek justice from County Magistrate Chen. If the Feng family is just a group of dull villagers Now, with the abilities of the two of you, Brother Si, they will definitely be able to make them dare not change their minds, and they will be cured."

"However, that Feng Yunjun has misbehavior and is good at reading. If he is really allowed to go to the examination room and get a good name, even if you two have extraordinary abilities, you will be brought into a lot of trouble by that Feng Yunjun. When I grow up, this court chooses officials to focus on knowledge first, and conduct second. Feng Yunjun's knowledge is average. Last time you asked me to find someone to watch him in the academy, and all the news came back was that he was backward, and his character was not good. Whether in public or private, I can't let that kind of person get fame."

"Next year's spring will be in February, and it won't be long before New Year's Day. Before that, we must let Feng Yunjun's true face be known by County Magistrate Chen." The second shopkeeper said, and he smiled: "Don't worry, County Magistrate Chen is a clean person." , honesty, it is thanks to him that Qingshan County can have today's prosperity, and he will definitely deal with Feng Yunjun fairly."

That's it.

Si Yun and Feng Heng heaved a sigh of relief after listening, and thanked the second shopkeeper.Not only to thank him for helping to tell them about County Magistrate Chen, but also to thank Cuiyun Hall for the person who monitored Feng Yunjun.

At the beginning, Si Yun and Feng Heng decided to extend Feng Yunjun's extension, and used gambling debts to pressure Feng Yunjun, to keep Feng's family honest, and to disturb Feng Yunjun's mind.But in the end, he was still a little worried about Feng Yunjun's studies. Feng Yunjun was admitted as a scholar in his teens. If his mood was disturbed and he was admitted to Juren, he would be shooting himself in the foot.

Just like Xueba’s bad mood before the college entrance examination affects his performance, but with his foundation, he can still pass the entrance examination with a good or average undergraduate degree. The admission rate in ancient times is lower than that in modern undergraduates, but there is no guarantee that Feng Yunjun will not pass the exam. , so they found someone to watch Feng Yunjun's study every day. In the past few months, they also occasionally received news from that boy.

Feng Yunjun's grades dropped, and it was difficult to pass the exam.

Si Yun actually didn't want to put all this energy on unrelated people, he just wanted to live a chic and relaxed life, but who would want Feng Yunjun to be evil, it seems that he and Feng Heng are really too kind.

"I called you this time because I have a plan." At this time, the second shopkeeper said again.

Upon hearing this, Si Yun smiled and asked, "What is your plan?"

The two of them were grateful for the second shopkeeper's plan for them. Hearing what the second shopkeeper said at this time, they couldn't help but look forward to the second shopkeeper's preparations.

The second shopkeeper stroked his beard and smiled lightly, and said slowly: "This time the magistrate Chen is recruiting local businessmen to raise money for a new house to be built. Every businessman who has donated money will have the opportunity to talk to the magistrate Chen. If you If you grasp that opportunity well, you will surely be able to tell County Magistrate Chen about Feng Yunjun's evil deeds."

Plainly went up to the county magistrate Chen and told them that they were going to sue, but the county magistrate Chen didn't care about the matter, and it gave people a bad feeling.But if you are familiar with it before going, then you will not be afraid.

Si Yun and Feng Heng immediately understood what the second shopkeeper meant, and thanked him for a while, and then the three went back to the crowd.When the shopkeepers saw the three people coming back, some of them were familiar with them, so they came over to say hello to them, and some of them didn't know them, they just smiled at them. chat.

It doesn't matter to Si Yun and Feng Heng, anyway, their purpose of coming here is not to get closer to these shopkeepers, and it doesn't matter what they do.

I just didn't expect that a shopkeeper recognized him. The shopkeeper came over with a fat belly, and greeted him with a smile as he walked, "Shopkeeper, why are you here? Oops, I was wrong, you deserve it." Here it is. This is shopkeeper Feng Heng, hello, I am shopkeeper Feng of Jixiang Restaurant."

The manager of the fruit wine that signed a contract with your Fengjia Village.

Feng Heng didn't know, but Si Yun remembered it. Shopkeeper Feng's figure was so recognizable that he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.He quickly withdrew his thoughts from deep thinking, nodded and chuckled at Shopkeeper Feng, and said hello, and then he asked Feng Heng about who Shopkeeper Feng was, and then Feng Heng knew that Shopkeeper Feng was the shopkeeper who made the fruit wine in their village .

For a while, Feng Heng's understanding of Shopkeeper Feng became better.

With a familiar shopkeeper, Si Yun and Feng Heng couldn't continue discussing how to talk to County Magistrate Chen for a while, and then chatted with Shopkeeper Feng. What came to mind, Si Yun asked Shopkeeper Feng if he knew about the house that County Magistrate Chen was going to build What is going on, how much money needs to be raised and so on.

It's a pity that shopkeeper Feng took jam and fruit wine to Fucheng to make a voice a few days ago, and he really didn't know about this kind of thing.

Si Yun was a little disappointed. Fortunately, it didn't take long for shopkeeper Huang to slap a few times to attract everyone's attention. He talked about the main purpose of the garden party, and then the county magistrate Chen next to him spoke up, telling them about the content and the second shopkeeper. There is not much money in the county treasury, and the house built this time is a nursing home, which is specially used to house abandoned children and widowed elderly in the county government. Because the county magistrate Chen is too poor, the county government has no money. , he himself had no money, so under the persuasion of the master, he said whether he should let the local wealthy households donate money to build one, and after it was built, he could erect a merit monument for them.

After much deliberation, County Magistrate Chen decided to follow Master's advice.

Due to various reasons such as poverty, patriarchy, jealousy, superstition, and the death of both parents, many children were abandoned and abandoned as orphans, including boys and girls, but more girls, and because they had no children, There are also a lot of orphans and widows for reasons such as lack of marriage or unfilial sons and daughters. These children and elderly people were taken in in nursing homes before, but recently the person in charge of the nursing home approached County Magistrate Chen and asked some questions, saying that The poor can no longer continue to adopt those people.

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Chen took his master to check and found that the nursing home was too dilapidated for people to live in. It looked like it would collapse at any moment.As a county parent official, County Magistrate Chen immediately decided to rebuild the Nursing Home, not to repair it, but to build it.

So, there is today's garden party.

"No, why is the nursing home so dilapidated that it can't be lived in? Isn't it usually overhauled?" Si Yun rubbed his chin and asked.

Shopkeeper Feng knew about this, he clicked his tongue, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice for fear of being overheard: "The previous county lords never thought of taking care of the Nursing Home, and the Nursing Home Even those who have never dared to bother the county magistrate about the nursing home."

So, this is really impossible to hide, so it was reported?

This is too pitiful!

Don't take human life seriously.

But when it comes to this nursing home, Si Yun thought of a way. Since the nursing home is for those orphans and old people, and the magistrate Chen attaches so much importance to this construction project, if there is a way to make the building last longer He will definitely adopt old materials, and he will definitely adopt novel buildings that can accommodate more people, as well as high and low beds, and beds that make full use of space should also work.

But these don't need to be said at this time, they have to be said in private.

Thinking about it, Si Yun looked towards Feng Heng, and found that Feng Heng was also looking at him, his eyes glowed a little, when Si Yun saw it, he immediately smiled, knowing that Feng Heng must also know what he meant.

The two watched shopkeeper Huang leave, and Si Yun left here. Feng Heng explained to shopkeeper Feng that Si Yun had gone to the toilet.After a while, he came back and gave Feng Heng a reassuring look in his worried eyes.

nailed it.

The next step is to raise donations. The County Magistrate Chen was speaking just now, and shopkeeper Huang is going to get the donation boxes, paper and pens. They have to collect all the money, and then record how much each merchant donated, so that they can erect a monument in the future. Let everyone know.

The people don't fight with the government, in line with the idea of ​​supporting as long as it is not too much, the fundraising this time has also gone smoothly.In less than an hour, 2000 taels of silver were raised, enough to build a dignified and sturdy nursing home, and the extra money could be used to buy food for those people.

County magistrate Chen smiled with satisfaction when he saw the number, and the stone in his heart dropped.Shopkeeper Huang accompanied County Magistrate Chen to ask him to lock up the money and titles, and then went back to chat with the merchants.

It's just that the two of them just walked into the room, and when they were about to leave, shopkeeper Huang said to County Magistrate Chen: "Master County Magistrate, there are two people who want to talk to you, saying that they have some ideas about the construction of the nursing home, and they say yes There are good ways to build."

"What?" County magistrate Chen was stunned for a while, and it took a while to digest Huang's meaning. He thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Let those two people come up."

Shopkeeper Huang sighed, turned and went out the door, pinched the hundred taels silver note in his hand, and went looking for someone satisfied.
