Chapter 33 Uninvited guests
Chapter 33 �
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Zhou Mengchen has been cleaning the Yangjiyuan these days.
To be precise, it was not Zhou Mengchen who was cleaning, but Zhou Mengchen was in charge of others cleaning.
At this moment, Zhao Jiu had already repaired a three-room building.
"These three rooms were originally lived in the main hall management office of Yangjiyuan. They were quite solid. They had already opened all of them according to the adult's wishes, opened more windows, and brushed out the blackboard." Zhao Jiu said while pointing to Zhou Mengchen.
In fact, Zhou Mengchen tried hard to decorate this room into the appearance of a later classroom.
He is essentially a classroom.
Zhou Mengchen knew that Feng Li and others would definitely have many questions to ask today. Where is it more convenient to talk about these, so it is naturally such a classroom. Although no matter how hard Zhou Mengchen tried to arrange it, it would give people a kind of style, as if it was a literacy class and literacy class that was rebuilt in the 1940s and 1950s, in the midst of war, in which the ruined temple was transformed into a literacy class and a literacy class.
Zhou Mengchen closed his eyes and seemed to imagine that this place was the center of the Beijing-Shanghai Metropolitan Center. He was the main lecturer of this academic conference, which was full of for a moment. This was the treatment that his tutors had not lacked. He just opened his eyes and looked at a dilapidated wooden house. Although he tried his best to open the windows, the visibility could not be compared with the classrooms in later generations.
Zhou Mengchen felt a silence in his heart.
Sure enough, there are some places that can never be returned to.
Just when Zhou Mengchen was sad, he suddenly heard someone come to report and said, "The county master is here."
Zhou Mengchen felt aroused in his heart and said to himself: "County Master, why are you here?"
During the busy days, Zhou Mengchen almost forgot that he had the superior of the county master. Of course, this is also related to the special situation in Jiangxia County. In Wuchang City, the things that Jiangxia County can manage are pitifully rare, let alone, now this county master is a master who only loves money but not affairs.
In the past or two months, he has not come out to do anything. Even if there are some things, the master will come forward to discuss with the people below. If it were not for the court's regulations, each county magistrate would have several days of resignation, that is, the county magistrate would sit in the hall and wait for the people below to complain.
That is, the kind of TV series that seem to be a county magistrate who is deciding the case all day long does not exist. The day of the revenge is usually the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Of course, the county magistrate can also make temporary changes according to his own wishes, but there must be enough days every month, which is the court's rule.
Of course, in remote places, maybe the county magistrate will do it. But in Wuchang City, even if the county magistrate Wu is pretending, he must do his best.
Zhou Mengchen believed that if possible, the county magistrate would not even be willing to attend the court on the day of revenge, so he would have to suddenly go out to see the Yangjianyuan?
Zhou Mengchen thought with his toes, and everyone knew that the visitor was not good.
It’s just that the people who come are good or bad, and the rules in the officialdom cannot be abolished.
Zhou Mengchen immediately welcomed him out.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the county master came with the Six Houses of the County Government Office and dozens of yamen runners in a sedan chair.
Zhou Mengchen naturally saluted from afar and said, "I pay my respects to the county master. I don't know that the county master has arrived, and I have missed the welcome. Please forgive me." At this moment, Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "Uncle Feng Shi and others will come over in a while. How should this situation be fixed?" Then Zhou Mengchen thought again, "I think Uncle Feng Shi can understand it, so I have to let him down." Zhou Mengchen cheered up and dealt with the uninvited guest in front of him.
The sedan chair leaned forward, and the county magistrate walked down in all directions, wearing a government official, and walked down steadily. Zhou Mengchen, who ignored where he was keeping his ceremonial posture, looked up at the Yangjiyuan.
Although the gate of the Yangjiyuan is still very dilapidated, it is much cleaner.
After all, being inhabited is two different states:
In the past few months, about five or six hundred people have lived in the Yangjiayuan. Although there are many elderly people and children, they cannot do heavy work, but they can still do cleaning. In addition, the number of people has increased, and the houses that have been repaired one after another have gradually become popular.
The county magistrate had never been to the Yangjianyuan before. But he had also inquired about it.
As he inquired about the situation, the Yangjiyuan was completely ruined. Now this way makes the county magistrate feel very painful.
In his opinion, Zhou Mengchen would rather spend money on these poor people than respect him. The money he spent in the Yanggongyuan was clearly his money.
This is his money.
The county master looked at Zhou Mengchen, and there was a flash of cold light, but he immediately restrained himself and smiled with Yangqiu, "Okay, okay, okay. Zhou Xianxian is indeed a young talent in Wuchang Prefecture. He lives up to the expectations of the county master. This Yangjianyuan has indeed made great progress."
Zhou Mengchen secretly looked at Huang Zhubo who was standing aside, but saw Huang Zhubo's face turned cold and knew that things were not good. But the county master said this, and he didn't want to reply, saying, "I thank you for the county master for the praise. This is what my subordinate should do."
"Let's go, let Nephew Zhou take me to take a look, and the Yangjiyuan." The county master asked Zhou Mengchen to cross Huang Zhubo and followed him.
In the officialdom, the order is the most important. Who is in the position of the person, and you cannot be mistaken. If you sort it in daily life, Zhou Mengchen's qualification will only fall at the end. After mentioning the county lord, it seems that it is the favor of the county lord, but Zhou Mengchen felt a chill.
Zhou Mengchen knew very well about his relationship with the county magistrate.
A grace without reason is a disaster, not a blessing.
But Zhou Mengchen asked about his actions, and he seemed to have nothing to criticize. He kept wondering where the county magistrate would attack.
After all, Zhou Mengchen couldn't sit still, and his heart was filled with thunder. Even if he tried his best to restrain himself, he still leaked a trace of starlight and was seen by the county magistrate.
The county lord smiled more and more kindly, like a fox biting his prey.
The county magistrate chose to come here today, but he was prepared.
He had already asked Master Liu to prepare a lot of methods to make Zhou Mengchen clearly arranged it.
However, he didn't dare to start it easily.
He has to wait for an opportunity.
Because in his information, the friendship between Zhou Mengchen and Fengcheng Hou Shizi was fake, and the friendship with Feng Li was real.
The county magistrate is not afraid of Feng Li.
As the saying goes, tea is cold when people walk away.
Yes, Feng Li's uncle is not studying in Wuchang now, but has reached the center. If power alone is greater than before, it can be considered a step-by-step rise. But no matter how powerful the power is outside, it is impossible to reach it.
But Feng Li is a trouble after all.
People like Feng Li have a wide network of relationships and extensive communication, but the county master also understands that although this network of relationships is wide, if you really want to do things, it is not just a word that can make others do things, and it will cost you.
If the county lord moves Feng Li, the backlash will be unbearable for the county lord.
But if the county master touched Zhou Mengchen, what price would Feng Li be willing to pay to save Zhou Mengchen? This was something that the county master could not have imagined.
This is also the reason why the county magistrate hesitated.
However, the county master heard about it and made the county master feel relieved.
This news was nothing else, but the person who secretly followed Zhou Mengchen to reply to the county master, saying that Zhou Mengchen went to visit Feng Li, but in less than a cup of tea, he was sent out by Feng Li.
Whether the relationship between people is close or not can be judged by whether the two people are intimate or not.
The county master had inquired about the lack of frequent contacts between Feng Li and Zhou Mengchen, and it was only a few times. It can be judged by the time of contact. For example, this time, Zhou Mengchen went to see Feng Li, and was almost sent out as soon as he entered. It should be noted that the ancients had certain rules for hospitality. There were definitely no guests who had just arrived and the tea had not been cold.
If so, it only means that the friendship between the two parties is very dull.
Of course, it may also be that the relationship between the two parties is very close, so close that it is not restricted by common etiquette.
The county master also thought about this possibility.
But he immediately denied it because no matter how he thought, he felt it was impossible.
The reason is very simple. In his information, Zhou Mengchen and Feng Li first contacted each other, that was in the county government. It was only a month or two. How could the two be so close? It was impossible to think about it.
The reason why the county priest has always been polite and never takes action is because of Feng Li. Now that I know, it is very likely that Zhou Mengchen and Feng Li are just ordinary friends, so I will naturally take action.
The county master felt that he was sure of winning and relaxed more and let Zhou Mengchen be his tour guide, as if he was here to visit the garden.
Speaking of which, there are some things that are quite impressive in the Yangjiyuan. The entire yard is divided into three parts. One part is the current work area, which is the place used to produce water clocks. Under the auspices of Cheng Guangde, the Yangjiyuan successfully passed the explosion of the water clock. Now there is no need to be so anxious. Today, Zhou Mengchen also has guests. They are also stopped for a day and cleaned up. With several woodworking lathes, it is also interesting. Other places are not visible. The other part is the houses that have been repaired to live in. Some of this part are the residences of the elderly and children, and the rest of the craftsmen. In addition, there are newly cleaned classrooms, and the rooms of Zhou Mengchen and Cheng Guangde, which are also the offices of two people.
Another part is a place that has become a completely ruined place. It has no value for repair. However, the ruins are full of grass and trees, and there are also paths that people walk around, which feels a bit winding and secluded.
The county master walked around the yard, seemed satisfied and said, "Okay, I know that Nephew Zhou is a good person. It's worth my attention. However, I'm also visiting the yard, and the situation depends on it. Let's talk about the serious business."
