Yang Ze rode out of Guazhou on horseback, traveled more than 20 miles, and suddenly remembered that he took two official documents, one for Wei Hou, but the other for the Beijing Criminal Department, and the official document to Wei Hou was naturally sent by him, but what about the official document of the Criminal Department, should he also send it, the capital is far away from Guazhou!
Not long after he first entered the Yamen, he encountered this kind of thing, he was in a hurry to go out of the city, and no one explained to him, and now he was confused, and he didn't know what to do.
Walk out of seven or eight miles, see there is a post station in front, Yang Ze is overjoyed, the post station is not the reception of officials, especially the messenger has to live in the post station when sending official documents, although it is not late at this time, there is no need to stay, but have a meal, inquire about something, it is always possible.
When he came to the door of the post station, Yang Ze threw his stirrups out of the saddle, got off his mount, and said to a veteran at the door: "This old man, please feed my mount some forage, you can take care of the food here?" ”
There are few people in the post here, the old soldier is idle, he is sitting at the door looking at the scenery, seeing Yang Ze coming, he said: "What is the name of the old man, my old man is so old, if you want to call it good, why do you call me the old man, it is better to simply call me the old man, so it is good!" "This veteran is very interesting, he calls himself an old man, but he still doesn't accept the old man, and he doesn't like others to call him his father-in-law.
Yang Ze smiled and said, "Not old, not old, very young, this big brother, can you help me feed the horse, and I want to be sharp here, eat a little!" ”
The veteran pointed to the front and said, "There is a small town over there, if you want to eat and drink, go to the town, we are a post station, not an inn!" "Sitting at the door, his butt doesn't move, he looks like he ignores it, I guess all civil servants are like this these years, and the post guard is also a civil servant!
Yang Ze said with a smile: "I'm from Guazhou, and I'm going to Linzhou to send official documents to Wei Hou, and eat and drink at the post station, it's quite in line!" ”
The veteran general looked at him suspiciously, and saw that although the clothes Yang Ze was wearing were good, and at first glance he was a child of a rich family, but it was not an official uniform, so he said suspiciously: "Then you take out the official document and take a look, if it is really sent to Linzhou, then I will prepare a meal for you, and help you feed the horses!" ”
Yang Ze took out the official document from the baggage, of course, it was impossible to open the official document and show it to the veteran, but he just let him look at the envelope, mainly to see the seal there!
After reading it, the veteran sighed and said, "Then you come in!" Only then did he stand up lazily, and while leading the horse, he said: "Recently, there are many rich children like you, and there are many people pretending to be officials, and now there is still one living in the store, and his temper is big, and it is very difficult to serve, so don't be like him." By the way, do you want to stay, how many officials are you? We don't charge money to officials here, but if there is no grade, then we have to collect money! ”
Yang Ze said: "I'm from Jiupin, I'm a doctor in the Guazhou Medical Institute." "In fact, he is not really from the ninth grade, but anyway, no one here is pursuing it, just talk about it.
The veteran turned his head, glanced at him, and said strangely: "Are you serious from the ninth grade?" Isn't it a foreign official? I really can't see that at such a young age, there is an official position! "The attitude is a lot better, after all, from the petty official of Jiupin, he is also an official, he is just a pawn.
Yang Ze smiled and nodded, but he didn't explain anything, in case this veteran asked him to see the official seal, where would he find it!
The veteran sighed and said, "It's not important that you don't have skills, the important thing is to have a good father!" He shook his head, drew the horse into the stable, and went to add fodder.
Yang Ze glanced at this post station, not only is it very small, but it is also dilapidated, there is only one main hall, there are several guest rooms on both sides, the doors of the guest rooms are open, there is no one inside, but there is an old woman in the main hall, it seems that it is the wife of the veteran, who is setting up dishes and chopsticks, and it is estimated that she is going to eat.
Yang Ze walked into the house and said with a smile: "Old ...... This sister-in-law, this is to eat, do you have my share? ”
The old woman looked up at Yang Ze, with a surprised expression on her face, a young man less than twenty years old, calling an old woman in her sixties sister-in-law, this is indeed a little wrong, but the old woman didn't care about anything, she didn't know Yang Ze's identity, she didn't know how to greet her, she just shook her head first, and then quickly nodded, and hurriedly walked to the back.
Yang Ze shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know what the old woman was doing, and there was no one else in the room, so he had to sit at the table and look at the food on the table. Very simple meals, boiled cabbage, boiled bean sprouts, boiled chicken hair, and a pot of brown rice, there is not a little oil in the dish, it seems that the life of the post guard is really not very good.
The old soldier came out of the horse pen and went to the back, he spoke loudly, as if he was asking the old woman to cook another dish and serve it, the old couple muttered and muttered, Yang Ze couldn't hear it clearly.
At this moment, a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a gorgeous manner, stepped out from behind, wearing his belt as he went, as if he had just finished going to the latrine. The young man entered the house, and when he saw Yang Ze, he asked, "You also came to this post station to eat?" ”
"Also? Rubbing rice? Yang Ze shook his head and said, "I don't need to eat, according to the regulations of the imperial court, I can eat and drink here for nothing!" ”
"Isn't eating and drinking for nothing just rubbing rice!" The young man sat down on his own, as a matter of course, and wiped his hands on his clothes.
Yang Ze felt a little disgusting, this person seemed to have just come out of the thatched house, but he didn't wash his hands, and sat directly at the dining table.
Suddenly, the young man said, "Whose son are you?" ”
Yang Ze's face changed when he brushed the ground, did you ask such a question, the first time we met, asking this kind of thing, it was looking for a draw!
"Don't look at this station in tatters, but not everyone can come!" The young man said proudly: "You have to have someone with status to come in and eat!" You look like you're also a rich kid, can someone in your family be an official? ”
Yang Ze suddenly realized, after a long time, this is a snob, I want to ask if I am a child of an official family, it seems that who is your father just now, it is not to scold people to find smoke, but he thinks so, this person is a bit of a second character!
Yang Ze pointed to the back and said, "The people inside, I call them big brother and sister-in-law!" After a pause, he asked, "Then who is your father?" ”
The young man's face suddenly showed a proud look, and said, "You don't need to know who my father is, but who my uncle is, you must know, do you know how big an official Lang will be?" ”
At this moment, the old woman came out of it, she brought a big bowl of vegetables, put it on the table, it was a bowl of cabbage boiled meat, the cabbage seemed to be made in advance, back to the pot, and added some meat slices to it, the meat slices were cut very thinly, not too much, but at best this is also a meat dish.
The veteran said to Yang Ze: "Our post station is too close to the town, there are many restaurants in the town, and it is too close to Deguazhou City, whether it is coming or going, they rarely stop here with us, so the supply side is poor, it is estimated that when my old post guard dies, this post station will have to be abolished!" ”
Yang Ze said: "How can the post station be cut at will, brother, you think too much!" ”
The veteran sighed and said, "I hope so, it's always good if it can be cut off!" He pointed to the bowl of boiled cabbage and said, "This is specially made for petty officials, according to the rules set by the imperial court, you have to eat meat!" ”
"Hey, how do you say that, why do you want to eat meat? What about me! The young man was in a hurry, and his eyes stood up.
The veteran glanced at him, and seemed to look down on this young man, he said: "According to the rules of the imperial court, you have no rank or rank, you can only be regarded as the family of an official, and you have to pay for eating and drinking in my station." I'm looking at the fact that you don't have any money, so I let you eat with our old couple, some of them are good, and you want to eat meat, such a pick, why don't you go to town, it's very close! ”
The young man's face was flushed, and he said angrily: "Didn't I have my money bag stolen, otherwise whoever comes to your place, I won't come if you invite me to come!" ”
Yang Ze Yile, just now this strange man who didn't wash his hands in the thatched house also said that coming to the post station to eat is a symbol of status, how can this be just a blink of an eye, just say that he lost his money, and it became too fast!
Yang Ze smiled: "Okay, okay, let's eat, eat without saying anything, let's eat quietly!" He pushed the bowl of boiled cabbage forward, which meant that everyone should eat together!
The veteran couple are very annoyed by this young man, although the post station is small, there are not many people who come and go, but after a long time, they have seen a lot of people and their husbands, what kind of people have seen, it has long been clear that the more capable people, the more low-key, and the more unproductive, the more they are happy, in the words of the common people, they are not afraid of offending this young man, looking at his style will not be a promising, poor and happy.
The veteran and his wife sat down together, they saw that Yang Ze was kind, so they were not polite to him, the veteran lifted the chopsticks, and went to eat the meat, but before he could put the meat in his mouth, the young man screamed again!
Slamming the table, the young man shouted: "Okay, didn't you come according to the regulations, then according to the regulations of the imperial court, how can the post guards eat at the same table with the officials?" ”
Yang Ze only felt tired, is this young man going out for the first time, why is he so ignorant of the world, and he wants to eat, and he wants to pick someone else's, so he didn't eat, so he held on? He said: "This old man, can you stop a little, after eating, you can do whatever you want, everyone is very busy!" ”
The young man was furious and said, "You are a gang, and you dare to despise me, do you know who my uncle is?" ”
As soon as he finished shouting these words, he heard a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and a fast horse arrived outside the door! Immediately the knight did not come down, but cried out, "See, sir...... Master, I want to spoil the little apprentice! ”
The person who came was none other than Fu Bingrong, who had to worship Yang Ze as his teacher. The gate of the post station was open, and there was not much space, and he saw Yang Ze sitting in the house outside the door!
