In the afternoon, he continued to lie on Lin Qing'er's bed, eating his sister's newly peeled lotus seeds, and drinking Sister Lin's chrysanthemum tea, Wang Xian couldn't close his mouth comfortably.

It wasn't until Daddy came back that he ruthlessly exposed his ugly face of pretending to be injured and sympathizing, and his treatment plummeted. was kicked by the old lady to the east wing and went to sleep with Wang Gui. Originally, Lin Qing'er planned to take care of him all night......

Wang Gui's earth-shattering snoring, Wang Xian didn't close his eyes, and he didn't know how his sister-in-law fell asleep in this environment.

When he got up in the morning, Wang Xian asked, "Why are you grinning at night?" What are you dreaming about? ”

"Where?" Wang Gui sneered, and then couldn't help but say it again: "I have done it according to what you said, I feel like a god, I have never been like this...... Stimulated ......"

"Hehe......" Wang Xian laughed dryly, and said in his heart that the two guys who only knew how to make trouble in bed were replaced by cheating in the reeds during the day, and they were not happy.

After breakfast, Wang Gui went to work, and the old lady took Yinling and Lin Qing'er to the market, only Dad and Wang Xian were at home.

Lao Wang held the teapot in his hand, picked his feet, and said triumphantly: "What's the matter, your father's strategy is not worse than Zhou Gongjin, right?" ”

Xiao Wang immediately praised his father in a daze, and asked, "I heard that before Li Sheng left, he talked with Wang Ziyao for a long time. Dad, Wang Ziyao won't interfere, right? ”

"You're very well-informed." Daddy looked at him; "It's good that Li Sheng doesn't look for Wang Ziyao, now he has to squeeze out his bone marrow."

"Dad said that Wang Ziyao wouldn't help him? Will only blackmail him? Wang Xian was surprised.

"Hmph...... Daddy took a sip of tea and said proudly: "Without Lao Tzu singing white face, what is the use of Prince Yao's red face?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Xian glared and said in disbelief: "It turns out that Dad and Uncle Wang are a partner!" ”

"You kid is really faceless and skinless, just now he was called 'Wang Zi Yao', and now he is called 'Uncle Wang'." Dad laughed and scolded: "Do you think that the running officials in the province don't cost money? Saying that, he sighed and said: "The scribes in the Ministry are dark, if they don't put things in place, just wait to go to Yungui and die." But Lao Tzu is a criminal name, if you want to deal with the criminal department, there are still some doorways. On the side of the ministry, only Wang Ziyao can exert his strength, otherwise how could Lao Tzu cheapen him for nothing? ”

"Why did Daddy deny it when the prince brought it up that time?" Wang Xian thought about it and wondered.

"Asking such a stupid question!" The old man was so angry that his beard curled up and said: "I didn't know that Lu Dao could check Li Sheng to death at that time, what should I do to ask Wang Ziyao?" Do you think his nickname of 'Wang Papi' is fake? If you can't see real money, how can you do things for me? ”

"......I see," Wang Xian scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Daddy is really a last resort!" ”

"That's it!" Daddy was just about to brag about himself, when he suddenly heard footsteps in the alley, so he stopped.

Sure enough, there was a knock on the door outside, and my father opened the door to see that it was Qin Shou, a white servant in the county.

"Kowtow to the old man," Qin Shouye saw Wang Shouye, and hurriedly made a gesture to kneel, Wang Shouye helped him and said: "What are you kneeling blindly, I'm not an official yet." ”

"That's not a sure thing." Qin Shou said with a flattering smile, and finally made a bow.

After Dad let him in, Wang Xian had already changed to a lying position, and Qin Shou saluted him again, stood aside and said respectfully: "The villain is here to report to the little official." ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Xian asked.

"Today, the lord announced in the hall that in view of the urgency of the task of paying taxes on autumn grain, he ordered Zhang Warden to act as the secretary of the house. His vacant position as a warden is no longer based on seniority, but is contested by the scriveners of the household, and whoever can complete the tax task the fastest and best will be the pawn! After a pause, he added: "The lord also deliberately emphasized that it does not matter whether it is a bureaucrat or a non-bureaucrat. ”

"......" Wang Xian was silent when he heard this, and listened to Qin Shou continue: "After learning the news, the house exploded, from the original avoidance of collecting taxes in the countryside, to now there are more wolves and less meat, and the seven grain areas are not enough to divide at all...... Zhang Sihu asked the villain to ask, is it safe to raise his body and give Shangxinxiang to others? "The ticket card to Shangxinxiang to urge taxes is still in Wang Xian's hand, and Zhang Sihu can of course re-issue, but his brain has not yet entered the water, so he has to ask Wang Xian what he means first.

"Zhang Sihu wants me to make Xian?" Wang Xian frowned.

"I don't mean that, I should just ask." Qin Shou shook his head and said.

"You reply to Zhang Sihu," Wang Xingye said: "It is said that Wang Xian is slightly injured and can't go to the battlefield, even if he is lying down, he will do his errand well!" ”

"......" Qin Shou this Khan, looked at Wang Xian again.

"Naturally, listen to my father." Wang Xian smiled bitterly.

"Okay, the villain will pick up the petty official tomorrow morning." Qin Shouha said.

"No, you don't." Wang Xingye said seriously: "You go to Xinxiang tomorrow and tell Chao Chengcheng that 'paying taxes according to law is the obligation of the people of Ming, and I believe he will pay taxes as soon as possible with quality and quantity'." ”

Qin Shou is this sweat, but how dare he ask again, he should leave.

After Qin Shou left, Wang Xian said a little unhappily: "Sima Qiu, this guy really treats me like a donkey who pulls the mill!" ”

"You can't blame him this time." Wang Xingye shook his head and said, "I asked the prince to stop you." ”

"Huh?" Wang Xian was surprised: "What do you mean by Dad?" ”

"Relying on the boss to get on the top, no matter how you say it, it's disgraceful, and you are a newcomer, so there will be endless troubles after going up like this." Wang Xingye said: "It's better to have a 'fair competition' to make a show, and if you don't highlight your skills, how can you convince the public?" Saying that, he sneered: "Besides, I was going to repair that Chao Tianjiao, and now I will beat the rabbit with grass, and I won't delay." ”

"Daddy is really a good ......trick," Wang Xian couldn't complain, the old man was calculating all day long, whether he was tired or not, "The child will wait and see." ”

"Well," Wang Xingye nodded, "It's all arranged here." You can recuperate at home with peace of mind, and go to Nanjing tomorrow for your father, and strive to finalize the errand......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wang Xian is now a little superstitious about his father, since he let him wait and see what happens, he will not listen to what is going on outside the window, and read at home with peace of mind.

Lin Qing'er was a little nervous at first about living under the same roof as Wang Xian, but seeing that he was very polite to him and did not have any frivolous behavior, he gradually relaxed his heart. Seeing that although he was already an official family, he worked hard every day, and he was even more happy, so he pressed his shame, sat down with him, and explained the classics to him.

Wang Xian is in the country, and his understanding can only be said to be ordinary, but his memory is excellent. It's no wonder that if you can take the test, which one has a bad memory? It took him half a month to memorize the Analects. Now Lin Qing'er took the "Analects and Chapters" and broke it for him. Wang Xian was drowsy every time he heard it, but when he saw her delicate face like a flower and showed a faint look of disappointment, he continued to beat his spirits, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "This is also a kind of beauty!" ’

Because he was afraid that he would be greedy and chew too much, Lin Qing'er only spoke ten sentences a day, let him understand it thoroughly, and then memorize Zhu Xi's annotations. The next day, you must be able to speak it out and memorize it completely, and then you will continue to speak.

Although Wang Xian studied seriously, he never forgot about collecting taxes, and Wu Wei came to see him these days, saying that the heads of the six grain districts were all senior clerks or guys who had a close relationship with Zhang Sihu. These people no longer come to the Yamen to report, and they are soaking with the grain chief of the district for twelve hours a day, urging them to pay their taxes as soon as possible.

However, because of the re-revision of the Yellow Book, the tax was 20% more than the original, which made the grain chiefs dissatisfied. They seem to have negotiated until the government gives in and agrees to collect taxes according to the original standard, which is not going well for all the people.

But there are exceptions, and that is the road to Sanshan Town to collect taxes. After He Chang was arrested, the two deputy grain chiefs fought each other in order to compete for his position. The clerk's office that went there to collect taxes announced that whoever could collect more than 20 percent of the tax would give the position of grain chief to whomever he could. It's just that the deputy grain chief is not coaxed, a little secretary has no evidence, how can they believe it?

However, the clerk's office has a lot of energy in the yamen, and it is working on this matter in full force, and it is said that the application is about to be completed......

In short, the most unsuccessful thing is Wang Xian's road, Wu Xiaofat's words, he is quite dissatisfied with him occupying the pit and not. That means, it's better for you to not let me try it than to waste it in vain, right?

Wang Xian pretended to smile deeply and said nothing, but in fact, he didn't have any bottom in his heart. It wasn't until the evening two days later that he was bored from studying, and told Lin Qing'er and Yinling a joke: "Zhu Zi said that there are seventy-two sages under the saint's door, may I ask my sister, I don't know how many are people and how many are children?" ”

Lin Qing'er thought about it carefully for a long time, shook her head and said, "It's not in the book." ”

"Why not? In the Analects, it is clearly stated that there are 30 adults and 42 children. Wang Xian's face said, "You don't know."

"How so?" Lin Qing'er was strange, she was familiar with Jingyi by herself, and she didn't remember this stubble at all.

"In the chapter of "Sitting", it is clearly said, 'There are five or six champions, and six or seven boys', five or six get thirty, six seven and forty-two, and the total is exactly seventy-two sages." Wang Xian said with a smile.

"Ah......" Lin Qing'er was stunned, and immediately understood, covering her mouth and smiling and rolling his eyes: "Net nonsense, if I were a gentleman, you would have to play the board!" ”

Yinling saw the two of them laughing, but she didn't understand at all. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she jumped up and said, "I'll open the door!" ”

When she opened the courtyard door, she saw a tall white-haired old man, standing at the door with a restrained face, followed by two long-term workers who carried the burden.

"May I ask if this is the family of the king of the house?"

"Yes," Yinling nodded and asked, "Grandpa?" ”

"The old man Chao Tianjiao, who is the grain chief of Shangxinxiang, has come to meet Wang Xiaoguan." The high-minded Chao is fair, and he is very polite.

"Ah, you're Chao Tianjiao?" Yinling Xing's eyes widened, and she lowered her face and said, "My brother is not at home, but let justice run in vain!" ”

"I wonder when Lu Dao will come back?" Chao Tian said anxiously, why is this so familiar?

"This is not counted, it is possible to have as little as three or five days, or as much as ten days and half a month." Silver Bell replied in a childish voice and unhurriedly.

"Then it's not a delay...... Chao Tian said anxiously: "Can't you go and find it?" ”

"I can't find this, my brother has a wide range of friends, it is possible to fish with people in Fuchun River, or he may go to Xianxialing to find his brother to gamble money, every time he returns with fun, we can't find it." Yinling smiled and said, "There are only two sisters in the family, so I won't invite a few masters in!" "Say the slam and close the door! (To be continued)
