Chapter 1003: Heavy over Mount Tai
"There are so many people, such a big place, most of the governors are in charge of me alone, and the responsibilities are heavier than Mount Tai!"
I think that at the beginning, Xie Guang and his brothers succumbed to live on the north slope of the old ranch village, with three thatched huts and no ten dollars, how embarrassed they were! In order to compete for Xie Jinlian's money for medical treatment, the two brothers tore each other apart at every turn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, I am actually Lord Xie, my clothes are divided into Ayaluo, my wife is divided into sizes, I live in the city and countryside, and I live in nine official residences! really responded to that sentence, whoever should be is whoever!
He suddenly became full of poetry, and he didn't think about it, so he blurted out four lines of poetry: "The cold sand and snow, the red river chases the waves and clouds, the young man has a heavy responsibility, and the fire is pure with gold." ”
A cadre of officials large and small in the gold mine hugged each other, carefully accompanying the new chief, and each of them stretched out their ears for fear of missing a word.
Xie Guang Shicheng, even if he was satisfied, he didn't speak with his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, but when he saw the waves of the Chihe River, he turned a bend at his feet, and the river suddenly became turbulent, just like the fate of a person, and also like the passion rolling in his chest.
After a while, Hou Hai, the key to the scattered gold warehouse, applauded and said, "Good poetry, I didn't expect Lord Xie to have such talent, it really made the lower officials admire!" ”
"Tell me about it." Xie Guang pursed his lips and only said three words to signal him.
Hou Hai snapped his fingers and said, "Lord Xie, this is a circular poem, righteous thoughts and reactions are all one, and the artistic conception is different!" What is even more surprising is that an adult blurted out in such a short period of time, which is really rare in the world! ”
When Xie Guang heard this, his mouth stopped pursing, "You still have a little knowledge!" Some of the officials below listened to this, muttered silently, and then praised them.
Master Xie said, "Our old Xie family was the eunuch of the world as early as the Jin Dynasty, and there was a great deal of Confucianism in talking and laughing, and there was no white ding!" It's just that in my generation, I've fallen into unbearable proportions! ”
Someone said, "Where is it, my lord, you are modest, and it is unbearable to jump into the dragon gate like an adult, so what should we do if we have no real skills." ”
Chen Xiaowang also followed to the side, and after listening to it, he tried to reminisce about it upside down, and it was indeed a poem. He secretly wondered in his heart, "I didn't expect this Xie Guang, who usually looked like a scoundrel, but when he saw a woman, he couldn't walk, and he could take out some real things in his intestines." ”
"Chen Xiaowang, what are you slandering the official in your belly?"
Chen Xiaowang didn't understand what Xie Guang meant by this "belly slander", but he couldn't help it, so he replied, "Master Xie, I, I slander you in my belly and have poems in my intestines!" ”
"Bastard," Xie Guang's face turned red, and he pointed at Chen Xiaowang and shouted, "There is no sir!" The official's intestines are full of ...... Wet - isn't that in your gut? ”
Chen Xiaowang knew that he had misunderstood, and said continuously, "My lord, I'm talking about poetry, poetry, and poetry!" ”
Xie Guang sneered again and again, "Performing duties and doing things, the most important rules are Fang Yuan, if I don't take this position, you can say whatever nonsense!" You are wantonly playing with the officials, and you are not very dignified! If I don't kill your stubbornness today, I'm afraid tomorrow you will slander my brother-in-law, the Governor of Xizhou! ”
Everyone knows that this is the first kick of the new official after taking office.
And Hou Hai paid more attention to how Lord Xie was going to deal with Chen Xiaowang. I really can't imagine that the good scenery will change from here. Originally, Master Xie improvised a poem to earn face, which made Chen Xiaowang's slander immediately become a joke.
Chen Xiaowang's face was ugly, which was not his intention. Xie Guang shouted, "How can you make a warehouse history!" Lord Hou, you will take care of him for two days. ”
An outsider official in charge of the scattered gold warehouse was replaced by Lord Xie's fluttering words.
Everyone was in awe, this Master Xie's handwriting was really big and very simple. However, he is the supervisor of this one-third of an acre of land, and he is the brother-in-law of the governor of Xizhou, and he is from a famous family, and it is destined to be another person.
Hou Hai and Chen Guojun had just visited Chen Xiaowang's house at night, no matter how the two provoked and tempted, Lord Hou took his cousin to make a wish, Chen Xiaowang's idea was very right: this cangshi is not easy to come by, except for doing things wholeheartedly, others dare not.
Unexpectedly, wow, unexpectedly, his warehouse history was not easy to come by, and because of the loss of a sentence, he was replaced by Lord Xie.
Hou Hai asked, "Master Xie, I don't know...... What does Master Chen have to take care of? Is it against the lowly position? Lord Chen has a clear eye for doing things, and it is indeed a wise idea to let Lord Chen be the key when he looks at his humble position. ”
Xie Guang remembered that Chen Xiaowang smashed the Shi family, and the complaints behind his second wife's back sounded in his ears word by word, and Xie Guang compared the two, just like his disrespect today.
Master Xie snorted heavily in his nose, "I have a more intelligent idea!" It is better to have a shortage than to have an abundance, and to hold the key...... Lord Hou, you can take care of both. ”
A subordinate reminded in a low voice, "Lord Xie, this is inconsistent with the rules, and the history of Cang and the key cannot be entrusted to one person's ......."
After serving as the manager of the gold mine, Xie Guang had a strong sense of self-esteem, and his eyes widened when he heard this, "What is the law?" Well? You tell the official that doing one's best is not a rule! This official is personally ordered by the Governor of Xizhou, and Lord Sima Su of Xizhou personally arranged to take office, how can you let you teach this official a lesson! ”
He looked around, and in front of these people was the rushing Red River, and on the right of the river, a few dozen paces away, was the eastern border of the gold mines, and the thick wooden fence reached the center of the river.
Facing the river, on the two-zhang high cliff were six melting furnaces, but standing here and looking up, you could see nothing.
At the edge of the steep high ground is a wooden frame, and a hanging basket with a rope hangs from the top. At the bottom of the cliff, two people were digging and loading the basket, and after the soil was full, the people above dragged the basket up the cliff.
Xie Guang stomped his feet and said to the man, "You are here, give this official a 'chapter law', and see if you can fly up the soil here with just your mouth." ”
The man's face was red, knowing that what Lord Xie was dissatisfied with was not the "rules" he said, but the reminder at this moment seemed to not give Lord Xie face.
Xie Guangyi is still unfinished, "There are also big and small rules, but the way to be an official is to employ people, why did the governor of Xizhou appoint this official to be the manager of the mine instead of you?" Hmph, you and I have different identities and responsibilities, and the rules and regulations must be different, so you must remember! ”
The man was just looking for something to say to turn around, when suddenly a dozen reddish-brown clods of earth flew down from the high ground above his head, and the clods of earth flew over the heads of everyone and fell to the river not far away, causing a splash.
Hou Hai stepped to Lord Xie's side in one step, protected Lord Xie's head with his outstretched arms, and shouted at the cliff head with his throat, "Throw it farther away, do you want to hit Lord Xie?" ”
Someone above poked his head out, and sure enough, he changed direction when he threw it again. Xie Guang was shocked, "What kind of chapter is this??" ”
Hou Haidao, "My lord, today is thirteen, two days later fifteen, it is the day of the furnace to melt gold, and the charcoal stove is being repaired above, and a layer of refractory cement is heavily pasted on the bottom of the molten gold crucible. ”
Xie Guang understood, "Tilan is digging the soil to make new cement, and the one thrown down must be burned waste mud,"
Someone said attentively, "Your Excellency is really smart!" But this is a tiring job, if the bottom of the pot is not done well, when the gold water melts, if the pot leaks, the hot gold juice gushes out along the charcoal stove, and the person who burns the stove can't run away! ”
"This happened when Sark was there, and the man who was squatting on the fire couldn't avoid it at all, and his feet were soaked in the golden juice in the blink of an eye! Even those who are on the verge of the stove have been affected! Don't mention that miserable! ”
Xie Guang couldn't help but shake his shoulders and shivered loudly, feeling that a scorching golden juice was attacking from the soles of his feet, burning all the way to his ankle bones. But then, he realized his determination not to be surprised...... It's still not enough for the fire.
In front of everyone, Xie Guang felt a little embarrassed, so he became angry with Chen Xiaowang, who was panicking beside him, waved his hand at him and said impatiently, "You, just go and do this for this official!" Go now! ”
For a Cangshi, who was also appointed by Xizhou and was a sixth rank outsider, he went to do the furnace service in a blink of an eye, and no one dared to express the slightest surprise, for fear of setting himself on fire.
As soon as Xie Guang arrived, he successfully shocked his subordinates.
After sending Chen Xiaowang away, Lord Xie went to the gold panning field again, and he practiced it himself, carrying a gold panning wooden basket full of golden gold and washing it by the river. I found two golden broad beans, which were round and mellow, and people couldn't help but want to take a bite.
When the mine finished work in the evening, Xie Guang personally stood at the gate of the heavily guarded gold mine, supervising the gold miners who were digging for gold through the sieve one by one.
There were no women here anyway, and people lined up next to each other near the mine's only gate.
When it was their turn, they quickly took off all their clothes, shook the sand and soil themselves, and then asked the miners to take the clothes, and one of them took the collar and shook it, and threw it to the other to pinch it. If there is no entrainment, the man will simply raise his hand and throw the clothes out of the door.
At this moment, the naked miner happened to step over a high wooden bench across the door, and just went out to catch the clothes that had fallen, and put them on as he went. People do it methodically and quickly, but in the eyes of Master Xie, it is very interesting.
Xie Guang would never do this kind of thing, even when their brothers were at their worst, Xie Guang also kept the integrity of a scholar, and even went to the Gaoyu brick kiln construction site and dug the foundation with a pickaxe, not to mention this.
Whether a person has an identity or not is the most basic thing to see if he can cover his body according to his own will, rather than being forced to pass through a sieve like an animal like these people in front of him.
If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Zhi was really angry last time, the defect on Xie Guang's left foot that he had protected for many years would not have been seen.
Then he is still the brother-in-law of the Governor of Xizhou and the eldest brother of the second lady Xie Jinlian, instead of going to a remote place like Shaya City to dare to pretend.
Xie Guang put his hands behind his back, and his two hands were in the sleeves of his robe behind him**, playing with two golden broad beans, although there was a sound of "clucking" in the sleeves, no one dared to look at him...... It's a great feeling.
Xie Guang insisted on waiting for Chen Xiaowang, the former manager of the scattered gold warehouse, to come out of the gold melting furnace.
Chen Xiaowang also squirmed past the barstool. Don't look at others and take it for granted, but looking at a Cangshi from yesterday, he was also inspected naked today, and the eyes of all kinds of people focused on Chen Xiaowang's body.
Chen Xiaowang's face was flushed, as if he was being caught by someone, and after stepping over the barstool, he hurriedly ran out of the door to catch his clothes.
Xie Guang was satisfied, and stepped out of the gold mine in a well-dressed manner.
Accompanied by Hou Hai, he first went to the Wentang Pond on the edge of the gold mine to take a look, but did not find Lilan, so someone led the mount to Master Xie and helped him step up and go to the Wentang Pond in Hou Wei Village.
Lilan is really here, she is dazzling, she can be called the leader of the women's middle school in Shaya City, when Xie Guang was a real brother-in-law in the past, he dared to joke with Lilan, and even grabbed Lilan's hand and touched it twice.
But now that his status has been raised, his brother-in-law is no longer a real brother-in-law, and he no longer dares.
He knew that if this Ninth Lady was unhappy and blew the pillow wind from Shaya City to Ranch Village, then he, the fake brother-in-law of the Metropolitan Governor of Xizhou, would not be able to resist it no matter what.
In order to show his unusual relationship with the Governor of Xizhou, Xie Guang slowly raised his hand to the Ninth Lady who ignored him, and the golden broad bean drew two curved golden threads and fell down in front of Lilan.
Lilan stretched out her hand to catch it, turned it upside down, pinched one with three fingers and took a picture in front of her, and said happily, "Man, in a single room, go to someone to rub the back and pinch the feet of the eldest brother, the water should be lukewarm, the pool platform should be clean, and the pulling board and hand towel should be prepared for the eldest brother." ”
stunned Hou Hai.
After soaking in the warm soup pool, Xie Guangcai remembered that he was diligent in mining affairs, and he had been busy all day as soon as he arrived at the gold mine, and he had not even arranged a place to settle down until now.
It's not a town, it's not a city, and there's no post house to rest in. There was a room for the officials to rest in the gold mines, but the other officials walked out of the gate every day with their heads held high, leaving him to sleep in the mine like a watchman.
Xie Guang knew that all the warm soup pools of Lilan should have a special narrow couch for guests with status to lie on, where they could fake sleep, pedicures, cupping, and shaving.
This is also not in line with the identity of Steward Xie, but he still glanced in when he came out.
However, he saw that the ninth lady Lilan was sitting at the counter, and her nails were maniced there without raising her eyelids, and it seemed that the two golden beans in exchange for a special service of a fellow had been cleared.
Xie Guang didn't even dare to say that he would lie down on the narrow couch at this time, for fear of being in front of Hou Hai, and if Lilan refused, he would lose his identity again.
After coming out, Hou Hai said to Xie Guang, "My lord, the lowly family is in this village, the whole family is not hungry when one person eats enough, and the house is spacious and clean, how about deigning to go to the lowly family to rest?" ”
Xie Guang couldn't ask for it, so he followed Hou Hai into the courtyard, and when he entered the door, he saw that there was another person in the house, and his eyes were alert at the age of thirty. Hou Hai introduced, "Brother Chen, this is Lord Xie, the manager of the gold mine. ”
The Chen brother Hou Hai said was Chen Guojun.
When Chen Guojun and Liu Yuru got married, he went to Ranch Village once with Liu Wencheng, the commander of Jiaohe County. But at that time, Xie Guang was falling, Xie Jinlian had not yet started, although he was a head catcher, Xie Guang had no chance to see him. Since that time, Chen Guojun has never appeared in Ranch Village, and Xie Guang also does not know him.
