back to the field

Before Tang Sixian provoked the idle man, he found Qin Zhen appearing at the gate of the side courtyard of the ancestral hall.Qin Zhen seemed to be passing by, but after noticing her situation, he stopped and watched for a while.

The eyes of the two met, and then moved away quickly, as if it was an illusion for a short time.

Qin Zhen returned to the middle hall of the ancestral hall, and saw the official wearing a black horn scarf and a tunic saying goodbye to her father and elder brother.Qin Tian stayed aside, as if he wanted to lead the way for the official.

When most people were still pushing cups and changing glasses, Qin Zhen left the table and went to the middle hall to help serve the dishes.It happened that the official and his servants praised the deliciousness of the fish balls, and planned to inquire about the origin of the fish balls after the banquet.

Concentrating slightly, she went straight to her father and brother, with a relaxed expression, and said in a normal way: "Father, Tang Dalang sells fish balls outside, should we buy more?"

Qin Yu waved his hand: "No need."

I bought more than a dozen catties of fish balls today, as if a large piece of meat had been plucked out of him, but my heart ached for him, even if he wanted to eat fish balls again, he had to hold back.Fortunately, today's guests' satisfaction and praise for the food and drink eased his heartache a little.

Hearing the words, Luoshan official's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked: "I just wanted to ask where I bought the fish balls. From what the little lady said, could it be that Tang Dalang sold them?"

Qin Zhen replied politely: "Exactly."

Official Luoshan pondered for a moment, then smiled at Qin Yu and Qin Ruanlun, "Thank you for your hospitality today, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave now, please stay."

Qin Tian immediately came forward enthusiastically, "I'll see off the officials."

Officer Luo Shan and Qin Tian walked out, followed by Tang Qingman and several villagers who had left.Seeing this, Qin Zhen also turned around and followed out.

As soon as a group of people left the door, they heard a panicked call, and immediately saw three idle men threatening a thin young man, intending to make a move.

Seeing the frowns of the officials in Luoshan, Qin Tiansheng was afraid that these people would leave him with an image of "weak and incompetent and ineffective" in the minds of the officials, so he hurriedly stopped them.

"Li, Lizheng." Li San hid behind the other two idle men, racking his brains on how to resolve this crisis.

"Tell me, who is in charge of Zhenqian Village? Are you?" Qin Tian looked at one of the idlers coldly, and asked one by one, "Is it you? Or is it you, Li San?"

"No, it's not!" Li San hurriedly threw the pot away, "I didn't say that."

The other two idlers glared at him angrily.

"So you are so capable?" Qin Tian laughed back angrily, "Come on, tell me today, besides being the master of Zhenqian Village, how much ability do you have?"

Tang Sixian raised his head, blinked, and his eyes turned red.She choked up and said, "Lizheng, you have to decide for me! They want to beat people, and they want to ruin my fish balls."

For some reason, Qin Tian recalled that his tenant used to put eye drops in his ears, saying that "Tang Sixian" was a thorn.At that time, he didn't have much feelings, but now it seems that this person is really easy to cause trouble!

But when Tang Sixian mentioned fish balls, he changed his mind and angrily scolded the idlers: "You oppress the villagers in broad daylight, what else can you say?!"

"No, we didn't want to hit him, he provoked us first!" The idlers hurriedly defended, but their words didn't have much credibility.

With a flash of inspiration, Li San pointed to Tang Sixian's bamboo basket and said, "Lizheng, you don't know something. Tang Sixian's fish balls are worth a penny. They are just an idea of ​​cheating people's money. We can't see it, so we want to teach you a lesson." Hit him!"

In his opinion, fish balls worth two cents a piece are purely a scam for the villagers. They teach Tang Sixian a lesson, which will definitely resonate with the villagers!

The onlookers felt that the fish balls were expensive, but they could still taste the fish balls on the tip of their tongues after they had just eaten.It makes sense for them to agree that it is expensive from the bottom of their hearts.

"This fish ball, is it really so expensive?" Qin Tian looked at Tang Sixian.

"To be honest, a fish weighing two catties can only be made into a dozen fish balls, and a fish costs more than a dozen yuan. Lizheng can calculate it. Is this price expensive?"

When Qin Tian thought of settling accounts, his head grew dizzy. Although he was in charge of taxes, all matters of settling accounts were handled by the accountant.He can't even recognize a few words, let alone the ability in arithmetic.

Tang Qingman ran to Tang Sixian's side, and said, "Sixian is right, it takes several hours to make a little fish ball, and the two cents are hard money."

"I can also testify about this." Qin Zhen tilted his head and explained to everyone, but he was actually speaking to Luo Shanguan.

The situation gradually favored Tang Sixian, and no one came out to denounce her. Li San and the others were dumbfounded: When did this foreigner become so popular?

Official Luoshan didn't seem to be interested in the affairs of the village. He walked up to Tang Sixian and asked knowingly, "Are you the one who made this fish ball?"

"Yes, I also made the fish balls for the Qin family's banquet today." Tang Sixian immediately behaved well.

Official Luo Shan didn't speak, but thought for a moment, and then asked: "Is this fish ball a specialty of Leping County?"

Tang Sixian thought about it: "It might be possible to develop in this direction."

Official Luoshan stared at her, a smile suddenly appeared on his somewhat melancholy face, he shook his head, with a smile in his tone, and said: "Your words are interesting, you must be selling fish and fish balls at the gate of the city Is it you too?"

Downs was vigilant.If this person is really a person with an official position as Qin Zhen guessed, then when he inquired about her movements, could it be that he was from the urban management?She's on the city management's blacklist, is she going to be wanted?

"Uh……"

Seeing her faltering, Luo Shanguan said again: "I once ate fish balls at a friend's house, and the cook at his house told me that people who sell fish balls at the stall are considered a good day, usually very It's hard to meet. Today I passed by this place when I was going to Hongyan Fairy Cave, and it happened that the Qin family had a happy event, so I had the audacity to have a drink, and it turned out..."

Tang Sixian's heart moved, and she was sure that this was a potential customer who had been amwayed by her customers.So he readily admitted: "I did sell fish and fish balls in the suburbs."

Official Luoshan didn't care about her philistines, so he bought three catties of fish balls from her.

"Three catties are about 75 pieces, 150 Wen."

Official Luo Shan didn't intend to negotiate the price, so he asked the servant behind him to pay.

Tang Sixian counted eighty fish balls for him, "Give them to the officials, thank you for your patronage."

Luoshan official paused, and then asked: "You still sell fish, do you have crucian carp?"

"Of course there are, there are one catty, two catties, it depends on how much the officials need."

"Here are two two-pound ones."

Tang Qingman took the initiative to help Tang Sixian go back to get the fish, because it was not only Luo Shanguan who bought the fish balls, but also Qin Tian.Qin Tian said very generously: "The officials came here. We should do our best as landlords. How can we let the officials pay for it themselves? The three catties of fish balls are my gift to the officials!"

He also bought another two catties for himself.

The Luoshan official smiled and declined: "If I accept it, how is it different from a corrupt official who seeks the people's fat and anointing?"

These words were a tacit approval of his official status, and the villagers who hadn't guessed his identity before were startled.

After he revealed his identity, the remaining fish balls in Tang Sixian's dustpan were bought by Qin Ruanlun's classmates with decent family backgrounds—although Tang Sixian thought that they probably wanted to take this opportunity to make money in Luoshanguan. Show your face in front of people to make an impression.

Official Luoshan said enviously to Tang Si: "I will return to Raozhou City in three days. If you sell fish balls and crucian carp in the county during this period, remember to save some for me."

"Officials can leave your address, and I will send it to you when I arrive in the county in the future."

Officer Luo Shan pondered for a while, knowing that she was asking about his identity, he smiled nonchalantly, and said, "I live in a post house, you just need to find Deputy Envoy Rong."

Tang Sixian remembered that she didn't know who the deputy envoy was, and planned to ask Qin Zhen later.

Officer Luo Shan left, Qin Tian sent him another way, hurried back, and asked the villagers, "Where are Li San and the others?"

"Ran."

Those idlers saw Qin Tian and others busy flattering, so they slipped away.

Qin Tian sneered: "Can they run away to monks and temples? Go gather the strong men and arrest them!"

The villagers felt that Qin Tian's reaction was too exaggerated, and no matter how much Li San and his idlers bullied others, they were still villagers.One of the villagers said, "Lizheng, Brother Tang is fine, is this going to be such a big deal?"

Qin Tian glared at him and said, "Do you know who that was just now? That's Raozhou's Deputy Envoy of the regiment training! A sixth-rank official is bigger than the county magistrate. Li San and the others are under his nose Bullying others, how does the Deputy Envoy of Tuan Lian think of our village? How does he think of me?"

Qin Tian already knew who it was when Luoshan officials reported their family name.

Although he had never met the Deputy Envoy of Tuanlian before, but after dealing with the Yamen for so long, he had also heard that there was a Deputy Envoy of Tuanlian who was demoted three years ago in Raozhou, whose surname was Rong.That's a real son of an aristocratic family. Before he was demoted, Vice Envoy Rong's father was one of the prime ministers, with great power!

Besides, Qin Tian doesn't care whether Deputy Envoy Rong is demoted or not, as long as he still has an official position on him, he will not be able to provoke them like ordinary people.

"Six ranks! Leping county magistrate only has eight ranks, right?"

"Is the deputy envoy of the regiment training better or the Zhizhou better?"

The villagers talked a lot, and at the same time realized that Qin Tian, ​​who was always afraid of trouble, was going to get serious.

Looking at Tang Sixian again, the villagers didn't calculate how much money she made this time, they only knew that her luck seemed to be good all along.Every time someone troubles her, she can turn danger into good fortune. The last time it was Qin Yu who came forward, this time it was Qin Tian.

Some people couldn't help muttering: "This Tang Si is not surnamed Tang, is he surnamed Qin?"

Tang Sixian heard the words, turned his head to look at Qin Zhen, and said solemnly: "Perhaps my ancestors were really surnamed Qin hundreds of years ago, we are family members!"

Facing her serious smile, Qin Zhen gave her a half-hearted smile, and turned back to the ancestral hall.

Tang Sixian hurriedly walked around to her, and asked, "Little lady, what does a deputy envoy do?"

Qin Tian also only mentioned that the Deputy Envoy of Tuan Lian was a sixth-rank official, but she didn't know what the specific position was.

Qin Zhen stopped, changed his mind, and asked, "How can you be sure that I know what the deputy envoy is?"

She clearly still had the same look of wanting nothing, but Tang Sixian was stunned to see the meaning of "You have to admit that I am knowledgeable and capable".

Considering that Qin Zhen only helped her, Tang Sixian gave her face very much, and followed her words: "Because although the little lady is delicate and frail, she has the ability to 'see all directions with her eyes and listen to all directions'! This kind of problem, think about it." It won't be hard for the little lady."

Qin Zhen looked her up and down, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I think this is half true and false."

Tang Sixian regretted that he shouldn't have taught Qin Zhen to "don't believe what others say", but now it seems that he really shot himself in the foot!

The author has something to say: Tang Moujian: Do you want to be so difficult to coax? !

Qin Fuhei: You taught me~
