Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Zhu Pengchun saw that Cheng Erniu started to mess up again, he couldn't help shrinking his head, then looked at Guo Ye reluctantly, and stopped talking.

Guo Ye made Zhu Pengchun's bastard's sad eyes feel his heart shudderingly, pulled Cheng Erniu's arm, and said with a smile: "Erniu, don't do this, we are all brothers in the same class, we must be sincere and united."

Then he said farewell to Pang Feihu, "Boss, it's almost time to open the city gate. Er Niu and I rushed to the east gate first."

Pang Feihu looked at Guo Ye with satisfaction, then nodded and waved his hands, saying, "Go."

Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu immediately left Zaoban Dafang, left the gate of the county government office, and rushed towards the east gate.

Before leaving the house in Yau Ma Hutong, Guo Ye still wanted to ride a donkey to work. Think about it or forget it. Even Pang Bantou went to work on foot. He was a small government servant riding a donkey to work, which was too extravagant and high-profile.

So he and Cheng Erniu jogged on foot and slowly arrived at the east gate.

About half an hour later, the sky was bright, the early sun rose from the east, and a piece of golden light covered the earth.

Squeak... creak...

Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu slowly opened the east gate with great effort, and a ray of early sun shone on them, which made Guo Ye feel good, and his heart widened instantly.

Cheng Erniu yelled at the inside and outside of the city: "Open the city gate, go out of the city, and pay taxes in the city."

Guo Ye heard Cheng Erniu's roar full of Sichuan flavor, and he couldn't help but learn to shout: "Open the city gate, go out of the city, and pay taxes in the city."

He even secretly added in his heart, everything is revived, every phenomenon is renewed, and a new day has begun.

For a while, there was a huge crowd of people leaving the city, and those entering the city lined up in a long queue in an orderly manner, and every person who came in threw two copper coins into the basket.

Repetitive work, repetitive action.

In this way, Guo Ye began his first day of work as a small yamen servant in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Datang Xiaochengguan also had a great time.

In the next few days, Guo Ye's career as a small yamen servant gradually entered a good stage, and he completely integrated himself into the society of the Tang Dynasty.

Within a few days, all the people of Longxi County who have been in and out of the city gate know that there is a happy little yamen servant at the gate of the city.

This little yamen servant is called Guo Ye.

Day after day, Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu continued to get up early and return late, and were always in charge of guarding the east gate to collect taxes.

In the evening of this day, before it was time to close the city gate, Zhu Pengchun ran towards the east gate with great interest.

Seeing Cheng Erniu and Guo Ye continuing to stand guarding the gate on one left and one on the right, he said to them, "Brother Guo, Erniu, pack up quickly and go to Zuixian Tower."

Cheng Erniu didn't want to see the bastard Zhu Pengchun, he frowned and said, "It's not time to close the city gate, how can we get out?"

Zhu Pengchun chuckled, then pointed to the square yam hat on his head and said, "Isn't it up to us to decide whether the time is up? Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, Bantou Pang told you to close the city gate quickly and get drunk." Xianlou will reconcile with him, let me tell you, if you go early, you will have wine, meat, and vegetables, but if you go late, you won’t even be able to eat. You two can figure it out.”

After finishing speaking, he turned around, and ran back with a chirp.

Guo Ye looked at Cheng Erniu suspiciously, and asked, "It's very good, why did Bantou Pang invite us to Zuixianlou for dinner?"

Because Zuixianlou is one of the best restaurants in Longxi County, a meal of wine and food can't be eaten without half a tael of silver.

In his impression, Pang Feihu's family background is just average.

Cheng Erniu was also puzzled and shook his head to express his ignorance, but he had already started to pack the baskets and was about to close the city gate.

Guo Ye also stepped forward to help close the city gate. Since Bantou Pang invited him, how could he not go?

Chapter 17

It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was still on the horizon, but people on the street were returning home one after another like tired birds returning to their nests.

When Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu arrived at Zuixianlou on Chengdong Avenue, Zhu Pengchun was already waiting at the door of the store.Seeing the two people coming, they didn't exchange too many greetings, and led them directly into a large box on the second floor of Zuixian Building.

As soon as he entered the big box, Zhu Pengchun hurriedly found his seat and quickly picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. He looked like a reincarnated starving ghost, muttering while chewing meat pieces and drinking wine: "Boss, they are here, oh... ...Woo...it's delicious, but Lao Zhu starved to death, luckily I didn't let you finish it."

Pang Feihu took a peevish glance at Zhu Pengchun, who was full of greasy mouth like a glutton, and hurriedly called Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu to sit down and prepare to eat.

After Guo Ye sat down, he glanced at the people present in the box, except for Pang Feihu, the team leader, Zhu Pengchun and Gan Zhushou, the fat and thin toutuo, and two new and unfamiliar faces.One was about forty years old, and the other was in his early twenties. They both looked like government servants, but Guo Ye had never seen them before.

After a brief introduction by Pang Feihu, Guo Ye found out that these two men were also Zaoban servants. One was Zhang Xiaoqi and the other was Ruan Laosan. thing.

Because the two had completed the task of urging grain and collecting taxes in the two townships yesterday, they returned to the county government to report on their work ahead of schedule.

Over the years, this matter of going to the countryside to collect food and taxes has always been the most troublesome thing for Zaoban. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoqi and Ruan Laosan could complete the tasks ahead of schedule, and Pang Feihu was in a very good mood.That's why today's meal in Zuixianlou happened.

One is to celebrate the completion of the mission of the two, and the other is to introduce Guo Ye and Zhang Xiaoqi to a few people.

As for the third reason, it is that he has other plans in his heart, but after all, it is because of Guo Ye, who has only been working in the soap class for a few days, but he is experienced in handling things, loves his job and is dedicated to his work, which really makes Pang Feihu love him. .

Guo Ye took advantage of Pang Feihu's dinner to introduce himself and get to know Zhang Xiaoqi and Ruan Laosan again.

Next, everyone was drinking and eating. If they didn't eat and drink, the table full of wine and food would probably be wiped out by Zhu Pengchun, a starving ghost.

Besides, although the Zaoban is responsible for urging grain and taxation, it seems to be a lot of money, but in fact it can't get any extra money at all. It can't be compared with the arresting class. It is a rare amount of monthly silver, sometimes one and a half taels, and sometimes less than one tael.

Therefore, Pang Feihu was able to spend money to treat everyone to a meal in Zuixianlou, which was considered as an extra meal for the brothers. If he didn't eat more at this time, he would be a fool.

After a while, the wind swept through the clouds, and the entire dining table was stacked with empty plates. Except for a plate of sparse peanuts, there were only chicken bones left on the table.

In Guo Ye's words, how could this be a civil servant?

Forgive him and Pang Feihu to be reserved, but they were only half full.

belch……

Zhu Pengchun burped, picked his teeth with chopsticks, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really comfortable to eat, our team leader is really bright. Our Zaoban brothers can have a boss like Pang Bantou, this is brother The blessings you cultivated in your previous life."

Everyone looked at Zhu Pengchun with disdain, but they didn't comment on his words.

Pang Feihu really has nothing to say.

Sitting next to Pang Feihu, Guo Ye raised his glass and said to him: "Boss, thank you for taking care of me these days. I will respect the boss with a glass of water and wine. I am grateful for your kindness."

Pang Feihu laughed, toasted to Guo Ye, and drank it in one gulp, then said: "It's a tacit understanding. Guo Ye, you are a good material, work hard."

Hearing Pang Feihu's words, Guo Ye felt warm in his heart, and just about to say a few more provocative words to Pang Feihu, suddenly——

There was a noise of clinking cups from the private room next door, which made Guo Ye and others' ears ring and their scalps tingle.

"Haha, the roast chicken in Zuixianlou in Longxi County is the most authentic, um, it's delicious!"

"That's not it, you kid think that Zuixian Tower is a shabby old thing on the street? You can't get this meal without half a tael."

"Liu Er is right, but the subordinates think that it is a blessing to be able to work under our Qin Butou, don't you think so?"
