When Li You returned to his residence in the county, he saw Yuan Baoer and Xiaozhu lying on the table in the main room, looking through Li Huan's manuscript and muttering something.
"Master is back." Xiaozhu looked up and saw Li You and greeted him. Yuan Baoer got off the chair and stepped forward to bow to Li You.
Li You walked in and waved his hand: "I don't need to be polite." He then asked with concern: "My place is small and shabby, not as good as your original place. Can you adapt to it today?"
Yuan Baoer replied: "Thank you for your concern, Master. Everything is fine. I just feel peaceful and at ease, which is very good."
Li You shook his head and said, "I'm sorry for you."
"My family is not someone who dislikes poverty and loves wealth. I only hope that the master will take pity on you."
Li You suddenly remembered something, "Now that you have come to my house, you don't need to use your fancy name. What is your original surname?"
There were two blushes on Yuan Baoer's face, he bit his lip and said nothing, and finally said in an almost inaudible voice: "It's written on the deed..."
It’s just a surname. Why shouldn’t this be mentioned at home? Li You was very surprised. He went back to the house and opened the cabinet to look through his birth certificate and look carefully. Oh, his surname was Jin...
Hahaha, Li You couldn't help laughing. His real name is Jin, and his nickname is Yuanbaoer. Together they are Jin Yuanbao.
When Yuan Baoer heard Li You laughing outside, he was so ashamed that he hid back in the house.
Li You opened the door curtain of the west room and went in. He saw the little beauty sitting on the edge of the bed with her head bowed. This was a beauty that only belonged to him. He had an impulse in his heart and shouted: "Madam, don't be angry. I will think of a good thing for you later."
Name, from now on you will be called Jin Baoer!"
So he rushed forward and hugged her, comforted her for a while, and after a while, Li You hugged the beautiful woman and went to sleep.
Jin Baoer said coquettishly: "I need to wash my lower body."
Li You thought, do you want me as a master to fetch water? This is not in line with the spirit of the times.
But he heard Jin Baoer calling: "Xiaozhu, get some water." After a moment, he saw Xiaozhu's face burning like red cloth, his eyes were crooked and he didn't dare to look at the bed. He threw the bucket into the room and ran out quickly.
Jin Baoer whispered to Li You: "Just now, the Nu family noticed that Sister Xiaozhu was peeking outside."
Li You was stunned. He clearly saw Xiaozhu going to the wing to sleep before entering the west room. When did he come over and take a peek? Is it appropriate to be taught adult knowledge at such a young age...
What makes Li You even more hurt is that Jin Baoer still has time to pay attention to this at that moment? This is a disguised form of contempt for him.
In the early morning of the next day, he remembered his mother's instructions and his father's explanation that it was time to visit his uncle today. Li You got up early and went to the county office to ask for leave, planning to go to his uncle's house.
It seems that he has taken a lot of leave recently. It doesn't matter if his colleagues have opinions in their hearts, but God can't bear to see it. As soon as Li You entered the yamen, a disciple came to send a message, and he and Mr. Huang were called to the magistrate's office to discuss matters.
The pattern is still that Magistrate Chen is sitting in the upper position, Master Huang is sitting at the table, and Li You is standing.
Counting it up, I haven't seen Magistrate Chen for several days, but today when I saw this great man, he was not as showy as usual. There was a hint of annoyance on his face, and it was obvious that he was very restrained.
Li You was wary and became more cautious, thinking not to offend his boss.
Master Huang whispered to Li You: "The county magistrate has visited Lu Shangshu twice, but Lu Shangshu remains the same."
It turned out that after the dust-washing banquet, Lu Shangshu had been living in his hometown in the north of the county, which is also known as Shangshu Township in the people's mouth. He claimed that he wanted to build a house under Feiyanji, but Chen Zhixian didn't think much about it. He just said that Lu Shangshu had just returned to his hometown and didn't know.
The county needs to collect rocks for water conservancy projects in Feiyanji.
Both Li You and Master Huang felt that this matter was unusual, but County Magistrate Chen did not take it seriously. He even felt that Li You and Master Huang were making a fuss out of a molehill. A few days ago, he went to Shangshu Township to visit Lu Shangshu. He thought that as long as he explained the interests and benefits, Lu would
The minister should care about his hometown and not hinder water conservancy and give up the idea of building a house under Feiyanji.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shangshu ignored him and did not express his position clearly at all. Yesterday, Chen Zhixian went to Shangpiao Astronomy again). This must be Lu Shangshu’s thoughts on this water conservancy construction project. It is only possible that the time was not ripe so he did not make it clear.
, use the rhetoric of building a house in Feiyanji to give a hint.
But Li You decided to continue pretending to be stupid. A few days ago, he and Mr. Huang both thought that there was something behind this matter. County Magistrate Chen did not take it seriously and ran into trouble with Lu Shangshu twice. Who knows whether the eldest master would feel that there was something wrong with the matter?
He lost face in front of his subordinates and became angry? Based on Li You's understanding of Chen Zhixian's personality, he felt it was very possible.
No wonder Master Huang didn't speak today. No one is stupid.
At that moment, Li You's energy sank into his Dantian, he looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, and he sat quietly and practiced closed-mouth meditation.
"Li You! Tell me!" Magistrate Chen called Li You's name. Mr. Huang had a good relationship with his father and specially invited him to be an aide. He wanted to give face to Li You, but he didn't need to be polite to Li You.
Li You had no choice but to say succinctly: "He must have something up his sleeve."
Chen Zhixian said coldly: "It's a lot of nonsense, the matter has come to this, is it possible that I am so confused that I can't understand it at this point, so I still need you to talk about it?"
Li You was choked and paused for a moment. "Young master, I only said five words. Is it also called nonsense?" Then he continued: "This, with Mr. Lu's vision, his plans are definitely not small. He wants to fly
Building a house under Yanji prevents us from getting stones. Could this be a metaphor for the stone? Please take a closer look at this point."
Chen Zhixian frowned and said: "Are you guessing that the boss wants to take over the stone? Is there any circumstantial evidence?"
Li You lowered his head and said nothing, thinking that I was just guessing, there was no other evidence.
"Ah! I just remembered it." Master Huang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "Lu Shangshu once served as the minister of the Ministry of Engineering and presided over many major construction projects, such as river management, Zhejiang seawall and other matters. He must have worked with some wood and stone makers.
The big merchants in the brick and tile business have close relationships.”
You should have said it earlier... Li You said to Chen Zhixian while slandering Mr. Huang: "There is no need to rush at this time. What do you mean? Lu Shangshu will make it clear sooner or later. Just wait."
County magistrate Chen said: "Construction will start in October, and quarrying and material preparation will begin at this moment. There is no time to delay, so why not be in a hurry?"
I'm more anxious than you are. Li You spoke eloquently and encouraged: "Well, I think that the famous minister Hai Rui of my court is not afraid of the powerful, has a strong character, and is awe-inspiring when it comes to evildoers. This, I might as well learn a little from the sages."
One or two?”
Master Huang spoke again: "Shut up, kid! Don't talk nonsense." He then said to County Magistrate Chen, "Hai Gangfeng is a straightforward man and doesn't know how to change things. I only had one in the Ming Dynasty for more than three hundred years, so I can't learn from him."
He was really afraid that Magistrate Chen would be confused and listen to Li You's nonsense, and go against Lu Shangshu to act recklessly and offend the powerful and become famous. Is it so easy to make a name for himself? It is really not worth offending the Shangshu for a project that is still being planned.
While the three of them were chatting helplessly, a yamen servant called out from outside the door: "Your Majesty! Someone comes to visit you with a title card from the minister's book. Please tell me how to entertain him!"
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!" Li You slapped his hand lightly: "This must be what the minister said!"
County Magistrate Chen dressed up and went to receive the guests in person.
Mr. Huang said to Li You seriously: "Don't say that kind of nonsense in the future to coax the county magistrate. With the current trend, even if Xue Hai Gangfeng learns well, he will only be a county magistrate for the rest of his life and has no hope of entering the capital. How can the county magistrate?"
