Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

Tang Zisheng raised his eyebrows. He guessed his identity. It seems that he is not a person trying to gain fame, "This pie did not drop for no reason, and if you don't pick it up, it will be useless if you drop it."

"I didn't know that I could invite the new magistrate of Cang'er County to take this trip to Lianhua Village with my little trick. I'm really flattered." That's what he said, but there was no joy on Mo Yansheng's face .

"I've just ascended to the position of county magistrate, so I'm short of people under my command, so I'm naturally thirsty for talents." Tang Zisheng spoke in an official tone, as if he didn't mind the sarcasm in Mo Cai's words just now.

Mo Yansheng suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, "Thirsty for talents? What a thirst for talents, but I'm not a good person, so I'm afraid it will be a waste of time for my lord."

"Whether I ran this trip for nothing, the key is that I'm not with you." Tang Zisheng continued to sit leisurely, as if he was sure that he could take this talent praised by others for his own use.

"My lord, we Ming people don't speak dark words. I made an oath two years ago that I would not become an official in Dayu. As a scholar, I can only keep my promise. Please don't embarrass me."

"Naturally, I won't force others to make things difficult for me. Since you have no intention of visiting, today's visit is considered abrupt. Tang will leave now." Tang Zisheng didn't show any anger on his face, but smiled even more.

It's just that this smile scared Fang Muyuan and Chang Bai quite a bit. Seeing Tang Zisheng leave, they naturally couldn't stay longer, especially Fang Muyuan sighed at Mo Yansheng, and then hurriedly walked behind Master Tang with Chang Bai rush to.

I hope you are not angry with strangers.

After everyone dispersed, Mo Liuer came out of the house with a jug of wine, "Why did you refuse, brother?"

Mo Liuer couldn't figure it out, since the young master was the county magistrate just now, the magistrate of a county invited his elder brother to serve in the county government office, it was enough to give his elder brother face, even though his elder brother is a bit arrogant on weekdays, he would not be so rude .

"I just refused to work as a student." Mo Yansheng was in a good mood, picked up the wine in Mo Liuer's hand, and poured it down his throat, feeling comfortable, "Is dinner ready?"

"Ah?" Mo Liu'er was asked about the dinner before she could understand what her brother said earlier, and said, "The appointment is made, I'll go to the kitchen to see."

……

"My lord, my lord Tang." Fang Muyuan and Chang Bai ran over, ready to apologize.

"What else do you want?" Tang Zisheng looked at the two people chasing out from the door of Mo's house, feeling a little strange.

"My lord, brother Yan Sheng is arrogant, if what you said just now offended you, please forgive me." Fang Muyuan apologized for Mo Yansheng.

"It doesn't matter, everyone has their own ambitions. Since he doesn't want to do the work, you can ask Lu Jiaoyu to draw up a new list for me tomorrow. It's already too late. You have to go to the office tomorrow morning. Go back and rest early."

Seeing this, Fang Muyuan and Chang Bai saluted and waited for Tang Zisheng to leave before returning home in confusion.

When Tang Zisheng returned to the carriage, he didn't see Shen Yiran waiting with his face full of displeasure. He said with great interest, "Come here tomorrow and deliver a letter for me."

"Didn't finish today's business?" Shen Yiran leaned on the carriage, and there was a time when Tang Zisheng missed it.

"It's not that it's not finished, it's just that the plan has changed." He didn't want to do work papers, and he naturally had other positions in his hand to give Mo Yansheng his ambitions, "Tang Mo, it's getting late now, go back to the county I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the city gate, so I will transfer to Baihe Village to stay overnight."

"Yes, sir."

-

The next day.

Tang Zisheng was not in a hurry to go back to the county office, so he got up from Mo's house early in the morning and came to Xu's house to help brother Xu with something.

"These herbs look very fresh, and they got up early in the morning to pick them?" Tang Zisheng saw that the roots of many herbs were still wet with mud, and he knew that Xu Qingcheng had woken up early again.

Waking up early was really too difficult for an aspiring young man like him.

"It's cold in the morning, so it's suitable for picking herbs." Xu Qingcheng was unwilling to do things under the sun, "I saw Brother Shen when I woke up early, so what's the matter in such a hurry?"

"It's nothing, let him help deliver a letter to Lianhua Village." Tang Zisheng followed Xu Qingcheng's example and cleaned up the herbs for Xu Qingcheng.

"Lotus Village? Young Master Tang also made new friends in Lotus Village?" Xu Qingcheng felt strange, because when Young Master Tang seldom went out in the county government, how could he still know people from Lotus Village.

"Not a friend, but an interesting person. He used to have a good reputation in the county. Brother Xu, you must have heard of him." Tang Zisheng made a fool of himself, intending to let Xu Qingcheng continue to question him.

"I've heard of it? Which one is it?" Everyone in the county knows it, except for a few famous scribes in Cang'er County, who are the masters of some rich families, but these people don't look like they live in the county. Lotus Village.

"Strange words, in recent years" Tang Zisheng stopped talking halfway, Xu brother's expression was not quite right when he heard the name, and even the medicinal materials he was holding in his hand fell to the ground, it can be seen that this person is not the same as Xu Brother is afraid that there is a holiday.

"But this person has bullied you?"

Xu Qingcheng shook his head, picked up the herbs again, and replied to Tang Zisheng in a muffled voice, "He never bullied me."

After becoming like this, and saying that he had never been bullied, Tang Zisheng turned serious, "I want him to do things for me. If he is really bad, I won't want him no matter how talented he is. Just tell me." , how did he offend you?"

Xu Qingcheng was questioned again and again, and it was hard to hide it anymore. After all, if he went out to ask about this matter, anyone could tell Mr. Tang, "It's nothing, it's just that he was engaged to me before, and he called off the marriage two years ago."

The betrothal book was also a word of mouth of the two elders, and they never even wrote the marriage letter. Later, when the family came to the door to apologize and withdraw the engagement, it also showed their sincerity.

The two families are not counted as feuding over this, but the many follow-ups caused by this incident also caused the two families to break off contact.

Tang Zisheng was stunned, because he knew Brother Xu had a marriage.But he didn't want to be so coincidental that it was Mo Yansheng, but he remembered that Mo Yansheng was 23, brother Xu was only seventeen, and there was a six-year difference between the two of them, this guy dared to divorce his marriage after eating tender grass, no, fortunately It's a divorce.Otherwise Brother Xu would have to marry an old man six years older than him.

"Why did he want to divorce?"

Brother Xu's appearance can be said to be comparable to no other person in the entire Cang'er County, and now he is still disgusted, Mo Yan may be blind to this person.

Of course it's good to be blind, otherwise it would be too late for Xu Ge'er and Mo Yansheng to know that Mo Yansheng was blind.

"If you don't pass the Jinshi exam, you won't get married." Xu Qingcheng said that he was angry because of this point. Since he didn't pass the Jinshi exam and didn't get married, why did he decide to get married in the first place.

Is it possible that if you fail to pass the exam, you will never get married for the rest of your life?I'm afraid there is no infatuated brother or girl in the world who is willing to wait like this.

Tang Zisheng frowned. What was the reason? Xu Geer was rumored in Baihe Village, and the key was because he was divorced. It seems that this stranger is a bit of a joke when it comes to his relationship.

"Does he know that you have a lot of criticism because of this matter?"

Xu Qingcheng shook her head, "After the divorce, our two families have cut off contact. Lianhua Village is also a little far away from Baihe Village, so they probably don't know about it."

"After Mo Yansheng failed the rankings, he spent his days getting drunk. Even the old man I went to Lianhua Village to ask for directions said it was a pity. Since he doesn't care about his reputation so much, if he wanted to ruin this marriage in the first place, he should have asked you to withdraw the marriage. If you want to come to him I don’t mind adding one more article if I get ridiculed.”

Xu Qingcheng was amused by Tang Zisheng's words, "Mr. Tang was joking, he is a famous scholar, how could he be willing to be divorced by a brother of mine? I'm afraid I'm going to get sick."

After all, the status of brothers and girls is different from that of men. Whenever there is a matter of retiring, it is not often that brothers and girls come to the door to withdraw.

"I'm not joking. Scholars should know the importance of fame. He acts like this without considering your difficulties. It can be seen that he is also a pedantic person."

Seeing Tang Zisheng's seriousness, Xu Qingcheng's mind was blank for a while, unable to think of how to respond to Tang Zisheng's kindness, and finally thought for a long time, and only said seriously, "Mr. Tang, thank you."

"There's nothing to be thankful for. I'll talk to Mo Yansheng about this matter. Since he was the cause of the incident, I should give you an apology."

If Mo Yansheng was really a pedantic person, Tang Zisheng would not have said this, and he would definitely avoid seeing Brother Xu in the future.

But after getting in touch with him yesterday, I found that Mo Yansheng was obviously acting wildly and carelessly, but he was confused about this matter, so he naturally wanted to intervene.

"However, if he regrets asking for marriage now, you can no longer agree."

This marriage brought bad things to Brother Xu, and Mo Yansheng looked like a bad match, so Brother Xu couldn't be thrown into the fire.

Xu Qingcheng nodded with a light smile, "Even if Mr. Tang doesn't say anything about this matter, I won't agree to it. It's not like the old saying that good horses don't turn their backs. People have retired, and I'm rushing forward. Isn't it a lack of dignity. "

Speaking of this, Xu Qingcheng suddenly remembered that Mr. Tang seems to be twenty this year, twenty and the crown, men are usually married at this time, at least they should have a marriage contract, "Where is Mr. Tang?"

"I?"

"Well, I don't see anyone around Mr. Tang, but at this age, you should be engaged." Xu Qingcheng asked naturally, but he was worried. He was afraid that if Tang Zisheng said yes, then there would be no relationship between them. possible.

His father taught him since he was a child that he would rather be poor than be a rich man's concubine. The words "wife and concubine" are very different.

Tang Zisheng shook his head, "I used to be foolish and messy, and I didn't want to get married so early and be bound. My parents indulged me because of this, so I didn't talk about marriage. Later, when they were in trouble, I brought Tang Mo here alone Cang'er County is considered to be alone."

"I'm sorry." Xu Qingcheng didn't want to ask such a question, because he touched on Mr. Tang's sad matter, he only blamed himself for being stupid, and couldn't even say a word of comfort.

"It's all over, and there's nothing to be sorry about." The original body's emotions were not conveyed to him, so he said these words, apart from lamenting what happened to the original body, there was nothing sad about it.

However, Brother Xu reminded him that he should indeed consider starting a family.Although he is only twenty in this world, who made him dangle on the verge of running three in his previous life.

-

"Master Tang asked you to come?" Mo Yansheng looked at the uninvited visitor in the yard, but he was not afraid. The sword in the other's hand was not drawn out, which showed that he had no intention of killing him.

Shen Yiran nodded, and threw the envelope between his fingers in front of Mo Yansheng with a strong wind, "Tang Zisheng is now at Xu's house in Baihe Village, so he has to go as soon as possible."

"The Xu family, which Xu family?" Mo Yansheng stopped holding the letter. He didn't know many people in Baihe Village, and he only knew one family with the surname Xu, but...

"Xu Qingcheng's family, if you don't know him, go to the village to find out." Shen Yiran didn't care about the stranger's words or mood, the letter had been delivered, and he had to rush back to eat breakfast.

"Uh..." Mo Yansheng figured out many key points in an instant, and paused for a moment, probably the position he just applied for will be gone.
