[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

On the second day, I found someone to open up the back house of the county government office and the house they rented and renovate it. In order to let people move in as soon as possible, I didn't pay much attention to the issue of money. Of course, labor in this place is really cheaper than in the capital. There are many reasons, so Wang Xifeng directly waved his hand, as long as the work is completed as soon as possible, money is not a problem.

It didn't take long for the news that the new county magistrate's family was rich and powerful to spread throughout the county, not to mention letting the servants live in such a good inn, but also to live in such a big place. I heard that even the clothes the servants wear are silk and satin, Instead, those who waited and watched the relationship with the gift set were afraid to act.

Jia Lian didn't know, Jia Lian only thought that the original county magistrate of Changzhi County was really good at governing the county, and no one came to please him at all!Such an upright place really suits him!

After all the resettlement matters were straightened out, the work of Jia Lian's county government started. He got up every day to check in. At the beginning, he also fantasized about whether he could make some detective records or something. Of course, he would It doesn't matter if you don't know how to investigate the case.

It didn't take long for him to be disappointed, and he listened to some parents' gossip all day long, dealing with either the owner's shop suing the west's shop for stealing business, or the west's neighbor suing the east neighbor for stealing.

After dealing with it several times by himself, he was physically and mentally exhausted. Sometimes he felt that it was fair, but the two families were still not convinced. When he went back and told Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng could always tell Jia Lian how to deal with it concisely, and then he was very happy. Disdainfully said: "It's such an easy thing to handle, but you made it so complicated."

Jia Lian tried to save his respect, and said righteously: "I have to deal with it fairly, of course it will be more difficult."

"What is impartiality? It's useless for them to deal with these things impartially. It's over with a stick and a sweet date. Forgive me, no one dares to say anything!"

Wang Xifeng's words were easy to say, Jia Lian thought about it for a while and felt that it was the same thing, but he was really stubborn in some places, it would be fine to let him hit the stick, in case he swung the sweet dates too far to appease him. Wouldn't it be more troublesome not to come back?

Besides, it is not too difficult to admit that others are better than oneself in some aspects. Maybe it is easier for Wang Xifeng to deal with these things than himself?

Thinking about it this way, Jia Lian pushed Wang Xifeng, who was sleeping next to her, and said, "Why don't I let you handle it? Are you in a panic?"

Wang Xifeng was about to fall asleep in a daze, but immediately woke up after hearing Jia Lian's words, "What do you mean? How can I, a woman, intervene in the affairs of the government?"

"It's not about the government's business." Jia Lian couldn't hold back his thoughts at all, and sat up and looked at Wang Xifeng who was lying on his side looking at him, and said, "It's right next to the yamen, and let them, the parents, have short things to do. Report it to you for handling, and don't file it with the county government, what do you think?"

"Didn't you say that the county government is all parents' faults?" Wang Xifeng didn't understand anything, although it sounded exciting, but she was still a little sensible, "Besides, if you don't file a record, how can you explain it to your superiors?"

"What are you afraid of? I haven't made any mistakes, so there will be countermeasures. I don't want to sit back and enjoy the benefits. There must be other things that I need to do, but I haven't discovered them yet." Like collecting taxes at the end of the year And so on, he must be a man to do it.

Wang Xifeng's courage and thinking have always been different from women of this era, so after Jia Lian said it was so easy, she was really eager to try it, and asked Jia Lian what he was going to do with great interest.

Jia Lian thought about it, he could set up an unofficial neighborhood committee, but it would change from a community in that era to an entire county in this era, and then supervised by the county government, that is, himself, who would understand by then.Moreover, Wang Xifeng didn't know that she had become the aunt of the neighborhood committee, so let her shine and pass the time by the way.

He has always been a man of strong action, so Jia Lian called all the prime ministers of Zandian County to a meeting the next day. The theme was to set up such an unofficial department to reduce the burden on the government.

A few people naturally disapproved, not to mention that the person in charge was still a woman, but after Jia Lian asked them if they violated the law, they couldn't explain why, and finally they only said: "Then what will the lower officials do? No Maybe not doing anything?"

"Of course not." Jia Lian felt that these people were too naive, and he was the only one who didn't do mediation work, "What are you supposed to do, and you should also assist Madam when necessary. Salary silver, I, a superior, will reward you."

The others had already seen from the handwriting of the County Magistrate Jia's family yesterday that he was not short of money at all. As long as the fingers were exposed a little, it was enough for them to be happy. To put it bluntly, it was all a business, so naturally they stopped talking about rebuttals.

Now that such a happy unanimous vote was passed, Jia Lian arranged for them to write a plan for how to implement it, and then submitted it to him to see if it could be implemented, and then asked someone to find the law of the dynasty from the county government.

"Is this a book?"

Jia Lian picked up a corner of the book that was covered by a layer of dust, and the handwriting on it could hardly be seen, and it was broken from the middle before picking it up, and he was speechless: "Is this how you treat such precious and serious things? "

Zan Dian blew with his mouth, not wanting to lose his eyes, blinked for a long time, tears rolled down his face, leaving traces on his face.Anyway, it was already dirty, so I reached out and used my sleeve to dust off the dust, and said in embarrassment, "Isn't this usually unusable? So it has been piled up for a long time... Hehe..."

"Buy another set and come back." Jia Lian waved his hand in front of his nose, thinking that the county government didn't have much money, and then changed his words: "No, buy some paper and come back, make a new copy, and keep it well in the future. "

"My lord, that money..."

Jia Lian stared, "Of course the money comes from the county government. This is something for the county government."

Zan Dian wanted to say that the county government's money was used in decent places, but he couldn't say that the replacement of law books was not for serious purposes, so he could only say goodbye to Jia Lian with a sad face.

Jia Lian felt that he was showing good face to these people, and even dared to show face to his own request, so he stopped humanity and said: "I will leave it to you, copy it and bring it to me as soon as possible."

There are a lot of laws in this dynasty, and they haven't copied the books for many years. After hearing what the county magistrate said, Zandian felt that the whole person was not good, and looked at the county magistrate pitifully with a mournful face.

His painted face and eyes made Jia Lian's scalp tingle, and he couldn't help shaking his arms, saying: "You won't take it to the county school for students to copy? I still despise your few words!"

"My lord is wise!"

Before Zan Dian, he didn't expect that when the county magistrate mentioned it, he thought it was wonderful. The students were supposed to learn the law, and calligraphy had been practiced for many years, so it must satisfy the adults.Then he left in a hurry.

And Jia Lian looked at his slightly cheerful steps, and felt that if he followed suit, the county government would also be led by him to be young and full of vigor?But looking at a man with a beard like this, he was still a little incapable of accepting it.

Jia Lian was the county magistrate, and Zan Dian brought the county magistrate's request to the county school. The students were naturally very excited to think that the laws they copied could be preserved in the county government.

Then, in less than three days, Jia Lian received the brand new last law bound in a volume with the ink still not completely dry.Seriously praised Zandian and the work efficiency of the students, Jia Lian asked people to carry these things to meet their first readers...

"Jia Lian!" Wang Xifeng looked at the towering law for a long time, and asked through gritted teeth, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"No." Jia Lian patted the law books with ink on them, and said, "Cousin is still waiting for you to take me out of the way? Don't you think it's exciting to think about it?"

"Jia Lian, are you going to have a soft meal?"

"Haven't I always been eating soft rice?" Jia Lian squatted in front of Wang Xifeng, rubbing his head on her lap, imitating Qiao's voice and said in a milky voice: "Cousin, do you want to support me?" ?”

The toes in Wang Xifeng's embroidered shoes moved, and she really wanted to kick this guy away, telling herself again in her heart that this was chosen by herself, and that she was the father of her two daughters.

But before she could adjust her mood, she looked up and saw the eldest sister who was sleeping on their bed in the inner room standing there, looking at her father with an extremely complicated expression that did not match her age.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help covering her eyes, not wanting to see Jia Lian's upcoming expression.

But Jia Lian didn't realize it yet, and she lay on Wang Xifeng's lap as if she was addicted to acting, and while pushing her hand away, she continued: "Cousin, you haven't answered yet?"

"Wow ah ah!"

Wang Xifeng didn't answer, what answered Jia Lian was a sudden burst of crying and howling. Jia Lian looked over and saw that the eldest sister stood there looking at her for some time, and froze immediately.

The eldest sister looked at her father blankly, and said after a while: "I just want to tell you that sister Qiao is awake, but now she can't wait to tell..."

The corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitched, a stiff smile appeared on his face, and he said to the eldest sister, "If Daddy makes you think you just woke up with dazzled eyes, what do you think?"

The elder sister nodded immediately, and said seriously: "Yes." After speaking, she turned and went back to coax her younger sister.

At this moment, Wang Xifeng couldn't bear it anymore, and lay down on the couch, her head accidentally hit the wall, but she couldn't stop her smile. The sound of "hahaha" almost overwhelmed their loud little daughter.

Jia Lian glanced at her accusingly, smiling too happily, right?

It's just that he can't help it now, this man can't stop laughing, he has to go outside and ask the nanny to breastfeed sister Qiao!

Jia Lian didn't care about Wang Xifeng, and when the nanny went to nurse, he called the elder sister to him, squatted down and explained to her: "I was just messing around with your mother. The image of your father in your heart hasn't changed, right?"

"..." The eldest sister looked at her father silently, opened her mouth, and finally said, "Father, please stop explaining..."

"no……"

The eldest sister felt that after going through the scene she saw just now, she had grown up all of a sudden, and she was no longer the naive child she used to be, so she raised her hand and patted Daddy's head lightly, saying: "Father, don't worry, I I won't despise you."

"haha.

Wang Xifeng leaned against the door frame and laughed happily. Jia Lian turned her head and stared at her for a while, then stood up silently, said "I'll go for a walk", and left the back house.

Wang Xifeng and the eldest sister looked at his back together, and then she lowered her head and said to the eldest sister, "Be nice to your father." Even though he sometimes seems mentally retarded.

The eldest sister looked up at her mother and nodded seriously.

As for Jia Lian who went outside with his guards, he just felt that the bustling hawking on the street couldn't drive away the bleakness in his heart, but there were still people who didn't have long eyes and fell in front of him.

Jia Lian was not a person who was sympathetic to women, so naturally he took a step back when he saw the figure, and watched a girl fall to the ground sincerely.

That girl probably didn't expect the county magistrate to be so incomprehensible, it's completely different from what she thought!It's just that it's impossible for someone who has made a big deal to shrink back so easily, so he immediately endured the pain and tried to make a charming expression of pear blossoms and rain, "Young master..."

It's a pity that she probably hasn't practiced her expression in front of the mirror, not to mention the ashes on her face, and her expression is slightly ferocious. The two guards behind Jia Lian immediately blocked each of their arms in front of them, as if the girl sitting sideways on the ground was here. It's like hurting their masters.

And the girl looked at them with some injuries, and tried to stand up strong, but she didn't expect that she fell to the ground with the delicate voice of "ah" just after she stood up, looked at them pitifully and tenaciously, and said: "I am I don't want to trouble you, but now I am injured because of you, son, you don't even want to send the little girl to the hospital, do you?"

Jia Lian is sure, this is to touch porcelain, which is really outrageous for a man who has just been hit.

It's just that there are a lot of melon-eating people around who don't know the truth. As a county magistrate, Jia Lian naturally can't let his reputation be stained, so he said politely and with a bit of arrogance: "Although the young master doesn't understand, it is obviously You don’t fall here by yourself while walking, why do you think it’s because of me, but the young master is not short of medical expenses.”

After finishing speaking, he glanced around, and finally fixed on a somewhat fat lady, took out a few taels of silver from her purse, and begged: "Please send this lady to the medical clinic to see a doctor, and the rest of the money will be used as money." It's your reward for trouble."

The fat aunt didn't expect such a good thing to happen, she immediately took it with both hands, and said with a smile: "Come on, magistrate, I'll send her there right away!"

Then before the girl on the ground could react, she grabbed her thin arm and lifted it up effortlessly.After finishing the work, she still put her legs on her shoulders and said to Jia Lian with her slender waist: "Master County Magistrate, you can go back, the women promise to take care of it properly for you! Take your wife to our shop for noodles when you have time!"
