A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

"Master Situ? Why is he here?"

Early in the morning can be regarded as the coolest time in mid-September.Jian Ping and Tian Wen walked slowly around the village after attending the morning training in the village.

The entire northwest corner of Jian's Village now belongs to Jian Ping's family.And after the villagers had money, many people began to repair or build new houses intermittently.

In half a year, the scope of Jianjia Village expanded by more than one-third of its area.And these will also be included in Jian Ping's achievements in the future.

Jian Ping's miscellaneous official certification has also come down two days ago. After the county government's report, he got a small "official seal" the size of a private seal, which will be Jian Ping's identity certification in the future.

That small identity certificate belongs to Jian Ping personally, even if he does not become an official in the future, he will be allowed to keep it as a souvenir.In the vernacular, there is no effect that can cause losses to the court.

The identity of a miscellaneous official does not need to stay in the yamen. As long as he passes the twice-yearly assessment, he can continue to enjoy the convenience brought by the official position and a monthly salary of two taels of silver.

Two taels, that's really a lot.

Thinking about helping the court generate nearly 300 taels of income at least every six months, Jian Ping realized more deeply that the current emperor is a good candidate.

I am deeply impressed by the fact that you can do the matter of "buying and selling officials" so openly and confidently that you can't say anything and make selfless contributions.

Not even a set of official uniforms, how perfunctory is it?

So after accepting his fate, Jian Ping silently and tacitly agreed with the county government to make himself non-existent, but he didn't want to feel any sense of existence, and he didn't want to do unnecessary things.

In the morning, He Tianwen walked around the river, and seeing the green shoots that had been green again in less than ten days, he felt a little better.

When I got to the entrance of the village on the west side, I saw two people in long gowns swaying slowly.Two people are riding a horse each, shaking the fan in their hands.

That slow movement made Jian Ping instantly think which role his donkey is more suitable for than those two horses.

Tian Wen's exclamation made Jian Ping take another look at those two people, both of whom looked like they were 50 or [-] years old.

Both of them were wearing black long gowns. To be honest, even at such a cool time in the early morning, when he thought that it was summer now, and seeing this person still wearing black long gowns, Jian Pingguang was shocked. It feels hot just looking at it.

But the two old men didn't seem to notice it, and while talking and laughing happily, they let the horse lead them forward.The fan in his hand was shaking gently, making him look more relaxed.

"The head of the mountain?" Tian Wen pointed to the old gentleman on the right.Although they are all black long gowns, they are not the thick black like black ink, but ordinary gray and black.Because there is not such a strong black, in addition to showing a certain aura of these two people, it will not make people feel that they are too cold and heartless.

The one on the right didn't grow a beard, and had a kind smile on his round face, making him look more like a kind elder.

Jian Ping looked at Tian Wen suspiciously. After all, his so-called teacher was just a former poor scholar.Not to mention the academy, I haven't even been to a small private school.

Tian Wen also knew about Jian Ping's situation, so he quickly explained it for him. "Master Situ's full name is Situ Fan. He was originally the dean of the academy in Peach Blossom Town, but he stopped being the dean a few years ago. He aspired to become a wild crane. But after all, the hill where the academy was built belonged to Mr. Situ. And the current dean is still the son of Master Situ, so out of respect, we call him Master Shan.”

Tian Wen didn't say a word. In fact, the head of the mountain often means the dean.However, everyone also wants to save face, so there is no need to explain this kind of thing that everyone understands too clearly.

"The one next to him looks a lot like Mr. He." Tian Wen quickly introduced the old gentleman on the right, and then looked at the old gentleman on the left with some hesitation.

"Mr. He?" Once upon a time, Jian Ping also had a day when he would become someone else's voice.However, Jian Ping would never deliberately hold up such things that he really didn't know for the sake of face.

Following Tian Wen's suspicious eyes and looked to the left, compared with the amiable person on the right, the person on the left seemed much more serious.

A middle-aged man's beard could not soften the serious appearance of this man, and a pair of sharp eyes looked around from time to time, saying that he wanted to take in all the beautiful scenery around him, but it was more like observing if there was anything To assassinate their people.

The corners of Jian Ping's mouth were lightly raised, and the smile in his eyes was a little bit more.I really have to sigh with emotion, my luck is so good.Do whatever you want, it seems that your bamboo building business can finally start.

While speaking, the two old gentlemen had already reached the entrance of the village, and the distance between Jian Ping and Tian Wen was less than ten meters away.

No matter Tian Wen's status as Tian Wu's elder brother or Jian Ping's status as the village head, it is impossible for them to leave now.

"Master Situ." Tian Wen hesitated for a moment, Jian Ping had already bowed to the two elders with his hands folded.This time and space is very important to scholars, so the status of people like the dean of the academy has naturally improved a bit.

Situ Fan was not surprised that Jian Ping knew him.After all, if you think about it seriously, in the entire Taohua Town, Situ Fan is still a bit thin-skinned.

However, Situ Fan and He Zhong didn't "disrespect the old". When Jian saluted, the two got off their horses and even bowed their hands back.

"Haha, I think this is our newly appointed miscellaneous official in Nan'an City, Jian Ping, the village head." Situ smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, took two steps forward, and stood closer to Jian Ping .

Like Situ Fan, Jian Ping didn't have the slightest doubt that the other party recognized him.After all, Situ Fan is also the head of an academy, and it would be impossible to say that he was not prepared for the trip.

And for such a person with deep gaps in his chest, it would be even more impossible not to make some preparations in advance.

What's more, no matter how small the miscellaneous official Jian Ping is, he still has some weight in a place like Taohua Town.It is not too much to say that now Taohua Town, or even all walks of life in Nan'an City already know the existence of Jian Ping.

Jian Ping looked vaguely at the place 50 meters behind the two old people, where there were two carriages and four servants.

"I don't know that the head of the mountain and Mr. He are here, and it's really rude to be far away."

Jian Ping bowed his hands to the two politely again, Situ Fan still had a smile on his face, but He Zhong, who had always been serious, looked at Jian Ping suspiciously.

"Do you recognize the old man?"

He Zhong is different from Situ Fan. Situ Fan is not only a former Jinshi, but also the dean of the academy, even now he still has the title of mountain chief.

But He Zhong is different. He Zhong has taken the imperial examination for more than 30 years and is only a candidate.And it's still the kind of Juren who ranks at the bottom, and doesn't have much talent.

It is also because of some progress in calligraphy in the past few years that I took a course in teaching calligraphy and painting in the academy.Coupled with the fact that he doesn't like to communicate with people very much on weekdays, even the students in the academy may not all know him.

Jian Ping smiled slightly, actually wanting to say that I don't know you.But since you have chosen to install a bull fork, how could it happen that you don't pretend to be half installed.

"My little brother Tian Wu is studying in the academy. I once heard Xiao Wu say that my master is a model for being rigorous and academic."

Originally, I wanted to talk about my brother-in-law, but I always felt a little weird.So Jian Ping glanced at Tian Wen after the introduction, and then smiled at Tian Wen.

Although Tian Wen didn't say much throughout the whole process, the bland aura made the two old people take a second look.

Seeing the behavior of the two now, everyone is not really uncommon people, so they immediately understood what the relationship between these two people and Tian Wu in Jian Ping's mouth was probably.

People in flower sedan chairs carried people and were praised by others. Even the rigorous Mr. He couldn't help showing a smile on his face when he heard such words.

Situ Fan looked at the junior in front of him with more interest in his eyes.Jian Ping also accepts as soon as he sees it, and doesn't exaggerate it too much.After all, he didn't know this He Zhong at all, so he said more and more mistakes.

"I haven't asked Master Situ and Master He who are here this time?" After Master Situ and Master He said "No" and "Village Chief Jian is polite", Jian Ping spoke again.

Situ Fan took a deep breath when he heard the words, and looked in the direction of the river. "Isn't it because I heard that there is a paradise here in Jian's Village, and I want to find a cool place to escape the summer heat."

Jian Ping made a gesture of sudden realization, but he was not too modest. "Speaking of summer resorts, our Jianjia Village really has a good place to go."

As Jian Ping said, he looked back, and then looked at Situ Fan and He Zhong. "I don't know if the kid has the honor to take the two of you on a tour."

"Hahaha, that's a good relationship. If you follow Village Chief Jian, you can have a good time."

"Then I invite you two to come over here." Situ Fan always called him "Village Chief Jian" and "Village Chief Jian", as if he didn't feel anything wrong.

He stretched out his hand and made a guiding gesture, as if he didn't see the flickering look in Situ Fan's eyes.

"Xiaowen, go back and prepare some tea. I'll take the two old gentlemen around first." Jian Ping patted Tian Wen on the shoulder, and Tian Wen immediately saluted the two old men with a chuckle and said goodbye.

After Tian Wen left, the conversation between the two parties was a little less.Jian Ping led the two old gentlemen, and instead of taking the road outside the village, they went into the village specifically.

When the two of them saw the neat bluestone roads in the village and the neat and beautiful small flower gardens at the door of every house, their shock was no longer as easily concealed as before.

After Jian Ping greeted the villagers along the way, allowing Situ Fan and He Zhong to meet the members of the village protection team passing by from time to time in the village, the solemnity in their eyes became a little more serious.

When Jian Ping led them all the way to the bamboo forest, the shock in the eyes of the two people was a little less, but when they saw the bamboo building looming in the bamboo forest, the astonishment was a little more.

Jian Ping led the people to enjoy the beauty of the bamboo forest all the way, and then walked along the river to see the ten bamboo buildings.Finally, they were taken to a bamboo building in a bamboo forest and facing the river, and the two of them were allowed to rest inside for a while.And the four servant-like people that Jian Ping saw before also followed along.

There are also people from the village guard team coming to patrol the bamboo forest from time to time, so safety is still guaranteed.What's more, because Jian Ping has contracted all the riverbanks on the river section that Jianjia Village can see, he almost uses bamboo fences to tie up the entire Jianjia Village that can be seen.

Under such circumstances, if someone with malicious intentions comes over, it will always make people pay more attention.

The more they looked, the more satisfied Situ Fan and He Zhong were with this place.The scenery can only be regarded as above-average, but it really feels cool to live in this hot summer.

Situ Fan and He Zhong are not very young, and they are also very uncomfortable being made by the heat.But now, the two of them had obviously walked for more than half an hour, but there was only a little enthusiasm in their bodies.

Compared with the scene of sweating all over after a little bit of movement at this time in normal days, it is much better.

After entering the small bamboo building introduced by Jian Ping, the amazement in the eyes of the two of them could not be concealed.The small bamboo building itself is an ordinary small bamboo building.

The first floor is directly shorted as the foundation, and the second floor is where people are treated.There are two rooms, and a living room in the middle with the same layout as a tea room.

I haven't been in the room yet, so I can't see why.But in the middle is a place like a tea room, with a small table and two or three futons.

There is a small table at the back of the small table, on which there is a pot of bright flowers in bloom.Red dots, yellow and purple flowers warmly embellish the original emerald green room with different colors.

"I don't know what kind of tea the head of the mountain and the master like, so I brought some bamboo leaf tea and some scented tea, which are special products of our village, and ask the head of the mountain and the master to try it."

Tian Wen came in with a pot of hot water and two tea boxes.He smiled at the two old gentlemen and didn't directly make tea.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at the two servants who were already standing at the door. "I would like to trouble this little brother to help me find out which of the two gentlemen is more suitable."

When Tian Wen had just finished speaking, he noticed the strangeness on the servant's face at the door.After thinking about it, I can also figure out the key point.

It's not that disgusting, but it is necessary to check whether it is safe.Mr. He may be fine. It is said that Master Situ was a third-rank official before he came back to run the academy.

It is normal for such a person to have a little more awareness of prevention.
