The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 288 Sima Heyu
Tang Weiting, Young Master Tang, actually invited friends out to play today.

But suddenly received a message that the new county magistrate has arrived, and people found out that the new county magistrate arrived last night.

It was still on the 30th night of the new year, and they arrived in the middle of the night. Although it was very lively last night, they arrived in the middle of the night, and they were a little unnoticed!
If it weren't for the Tang family's eyeliner in the yamen, it really wouldn't be possible to see the parents and officials here without anyone noticing.

Tang Weiting regretted that he had an appointment with a friend before, and he couldn't go to the Yamen alone to meet the county magistrate, so he could only invite him to come here for fun.

Although it would be cheaper to entertain parents at his own place than friends.

However, they all have mutual interests, so many people meet the parent officer together, and they can know what kind of person the parent officer is in their own thoughts.

Although Tang Weiting got a little news, the county magistrate who came this time is also a force in Kyoto, I just hope that he is not someone who is against them.

County magistrate Sima Heyu was suddenly summoned back to Kyoto, and came to the south from their northern grassland. After spending a day in Kyoto, he had to bring his family here again before he had time to rest.

Every day after the first day of the new year, he knew it would be very busy.

He is a rough man who works hard, but he can barely bear it. His wife can't stand the long-distance travel, and she is sick all the way. The gatehouse is closed on the first day of this year, and no one is allowed to visit.

Originally, I thought it would come quietly, no one would know, but it happened that during the New Year, the whole family had a rest for a few days, but they didn't expect the well-informed Tang family to invite him out here to enjoy the scenery by the lake.

County magistrate Sima Heyu had no choice but to leave his sick wife behind, let the people around him watch over him, and come out to the banquet.

He didn't know that when he went out to a banquet with someone, after he left, his daughter also ordered someone to rent a carriage to play.

His daughter, Sima Roumei, is actually his youngest daughter. He has a wife who gave birth to two sons, the oldest is 11 years old and the youngest is nine years old.

Because his wife is a bit weak and cannot accompany him all year round, he can only take another concubine.

He is a very strong man, a northern man with strong vitality, if it is not too much business, how can a woman and a concubine be enough.

The concubine was also very upbeat, and gave birth to a one-year-old son, and this time she also followed him.

Although the main wife is weak, his sons and daughters are all strong, and the daughter is also strong.

The county magistrate Sima Heyu used to be the county magistrate in the north, and his sons and daughters also learned the skills of horseback riding and archery.

This time, he was sent here to the south as the county magistrate. I don't know what the officials think, but he can only obey, and it may be the result of family activities.

The county magistrate Sima Heyu felt that the family was becoming active, not only wanted to hold the north side tightly in his hand, but also extended his hand to the south side. He was the first bird to stand out.

It is even more important to come here. As for why so many counties and cities in the south will come to Xinxian.

When I came to Kyoto, I had a long talk with my elders, and I already knew some things that the family wanted to do.

That is the Tang family, who is as rich as a country, and they are stationed in this county.

As for the family and the people of the Tang family, are they enemies or friends?

In the past, the members of the Tang family were only imperial merchants, and they did not stand in line or have any relationship with any officials of the imperial court.

The county magistrate Sima Heyu received an order to make friends with the Tang family and use his potential to help their family members obtain higher positions.

As for whether they will become relatives in the future, and whether the two families will get married, this is exactly what they began to consider.

I also know that the Tang family is already a family that many rich and noble families have reached out to.

As for the ministers of the palace, the members of the Tang family all became friends or relatives of these people without being very mysterious.

Sima Heyu, the county magistrate, rode a horse with only one entourage and dressed casually, not in official uniform.

Their family just arrived yesterday, and they haven't visited him next time, especially the master, and the other subordinates haven't visited yet.

I have been watching from the street, and my heart was heavy before I came. I haven't seen the scene on the street clearly in the middle of the night last night.

Looking at it this way, this remote county is still relatively prosperous.

When I came here, in order to get there quickly, I looked at the route on the map and heard that there are two ways to get here directly.

However, there was a road that was a little more remote and not so peaceful. For the sake of safety, he took a safer road.

Fortunately, nothing happened to him on this safe road. When he came to the county seat in the middle of the night, there were also gatekeepers guarding the city gate. The family was let into the city gate.

To be honest, if Sima Heyu, the county magistrate, hadn't come here with responsibility, he wouldn't want to leave his hometown with his wife and children.

Even if there are people in their family in Kyoto, and there is a high-ranking person, as the court order, he has to carry out the order.

I also heard that the previous county magistrate had already passed the assessment when he went back, and he would not be issued. He stayed in the capital and was promoted.

His elders told him that it is much easier to work here than he was in the grassland. At least he has a higher future here and more money to earn.

The county magistrate Sima Heyu didn't think too much about it, he felt that he left his hometown and came to a strange place, and he had to get acquainted with people slowly.

Even if he is a parent official, he still has to be listened to by the people below. More importantly, if the wealthy and gentry on one side don't show face and don't cooperate, it will be difficult for the people above to deal with it.

Still a little irritable, a person who is an official has to cater to others, and he has to do it if he doesn't want to do it.

County magistrate Sima Heyu appeared by the lake, and Tang Weiting and some friends greeted him.

They are a group of rich and noble masters and young masters. Although the clothes in front of them look good, the decorations are not their southern attire, but at first glance they are northern attire.

What's more, his tall and mighty face, if it wasn't for the people sent to welcome him back, they couldn't believe that the person in front of them was the one they said they would welcome.

Tang Weiting had heard the news a long time ago. He was dressed in a low-key way, and he didn't know it, because the other party was dressed in ordinary clothes and would look down.

This kind of officials who don't wear official uniforms and gather with them already means that they make friends as friends.

How you think about this meeting depends on how the other party behaves.

Tang Weiting was very polite and greeted with a smile, and the others followed suit.

I was going to call the county magistrate Sima Heyu, so let's introduce each other here.

County magistrate Sima Heyu waved to them, motioning them to find a place to talk.

Tang Weiting, his friends and his entourage invited Sima Heyu, the county magistrate, to board the big ship, entered the cabin, and started the introduction.

After listening to their introduction, County Magistrate Sima Heyu nodded and said:
"Today we meet as friends, there is no need to be so polite, my surname is Sima and my name is He Yu."

County Magistrate Sima He Yu spoke so casually, without putting on airs at all.

Among so many people, only Tang Weiting fully knows his identity, and the others only know what they see now. The county magistrate Sima Heyu's simple attire may be a poor scholar from the north, or an official from a family. .

But now that other people are parents, even if they have other thoughts in their hearts, they will not show it on their faces.

The county magistrate Sima Heyu's bold personality was revealed. Although he was not familiar with these people and it was the first time they met, he still had to meet those who had to deal with them.

Tang Weiting gave him the opportunity to meet so many rich men at once, which made it much easier for him to start work in the future.

The county magistrate Sima Heyu wondered if there were people who made things difficult for him when he first took office. When some work had to be carried out, someone tampered with it, so it was really troublesome for him to do things in this county.

It takes a long time to get used to this job. If he can't get used to being squeezed out, then his official career and career will really fail the family's expectations in the future.

County magistrate Sima Heyu didn't have the airs of an official. Tang Weiting and his friends felt that this guy had a straightforward personality, which shouldn't be the character of an official.

But they also know that some people have family backgrounds.

Even if I am not so scheming in my work, have family support from above, and my own ability is not very good, I will not be too unlucky.

Unless there are other spies by his side, specially to get him down.

When Tang Weiting thought this way, he thought about the county government. Besides the master, there was another county magistrate with a higher official position.

As far as he knew, there were some other officials who most wanted to get the position of county magistrate. After Meng Li left, it was the county magistrate who had been constantly active, and asked some subordinates to jointly apply.

It's a pity that he was not in the line of County Magistrate Meng before, but he couldn't beat County Magistrate Meng later, so he could only wait for the opportunity with his tail curled up.

It was not easy to find out that the county magistrate Meng was gone, and the scope of activities of the county magistrate was not limited to his subordinates, but also invited them, the rich men of the county, and various gentry to a meeting.

Tang Weiting felt at the time that if the county magistrate was really in charge, it would be necessary for them to hold a meeting.

However, the letter of appointment has not yet been issued, and no one knows who the next parent officer will be. Although they expressed their support for him under the activities of the county magistrate, they dare not speak nonsense.

Although rich people don't know about the officialdom, it's not something they can talk about.

It may be possible to buy officials, but higher officials need capable people to guide them.

The Tang family was the first to know who the next county magistrate was, and they received a letter from the capital.

Only one day later, the county government also received a list of the next officials.

After Tang Weiting and his family knew about it, and later when the county government found out about it, some people who were a little bit more informed also knew about it.

The county magistrate, who had been active before, knew that the county magistrate was not him. After being disappointed, he felt very humiliated, but he was also very lucky. Except for the county magistrate, who was downgraded, the official positions of other people in the county government remained unchanged.

Even so, the county magistrate was also very unhappy, so he asked some on-duty personnel to be on duty, and some people were on vacation.

No matter when the county magistrate appeared, they pretended not to know and did not welcome them.

During this happy new year, I thought so. Some people suddenly came to the county government in the middle of the night. Everyone in the Tang family knew the news, and so did the county magistrate and some officials.

But they were threatened, saying that they would give the county magistrate Sima Heyu a slap in the face, since it was a holiday anyway, and he would not start work unless summoned.

County magistrate Sima Heyu knew that some people would not be happy that he, who was airborne, came to this strange place.

When he found out that in addition to guarding the position, the on-duty staff was also on vacation for one or two days.

The county government was quiet last night, and it was so quiet this morning, but he was not annoyed. The Spring Festival is already on holiday now, so there is no need to let them come back.

He was thinking of taking a break these few days. Those who should be seen will be met, and those who don't want to see him will be seen in the future.

The county magistrate Sima Heyu said that when the Tang family was going to meet that day, even if they were very tired and sleepy and hadn't had a good rest, they attended at this moment invited by others.

This was a good opportunity to get to know others. At that time, the elders had already said that they must never turn against the Tang family.

Sima Heyu, the magistrate of the county, also knew that he knew what he should know about being an official these years. Many things required money, especially doing things for the people.

It's okay to be powerless. If you have to, you may need the support of these rich people.

The county magistrate Sima Heyu actually didn't have much ambition, he wanted to live in his hometown all the time.

But there are also some responsibilities, and those who need to obey orders must also obey orders. I don't understand one reason why the family members work so hard, just because he is the county magistrate in this county, and just to make friends with the Tang family?

The county magistrate Sima Heyu fully knew something. The Tang family had properties all over the country, just like their grasslands.

Some don't understand why it must be in this county, but the elders can't explain clearly, and the reason is not very clear.

The elder Sima Heyu, the county magistrate, just explained that a certain family began to pay attention to Xinxian County.

When Sima Heyu, the magistrate of the county, heard about this family, it was a member of the royal family and could be named as the emperor. Why did some people pay attention to Xin County.

After inquiring about it later, the focus on Xin County was only for a certain person.

At that time, Sima Heyu, the magistrate, thought he was from the Tang family, because there were also people from the Zhao family who married into the Tang family.

I just thought it was a reason for him to befriend the Tang family.

But what the elders said was not the reason, and they couldn't find out for a while.

The county magistrate Sima Heyu came here with this responsibility, and also wanted to know some news from these rich men and sort out the news in his mind.

He listened to the southern language songs, and when he spoke the language with these rich men, it was a bit difficult for him to hear what others said, and it was also a bit difficult for others to hear what he said.

The main reason is the dialect. The language in the north is different from the language in the south. For example, the language spoken in this county is different from the language in other counties.

People from outside will rely on guessing, unless people who are proficient in multiple languages ​​can understand it at once.

Tang Weiting went to Beijing to study and had contact with some northern students. Like him, there were also a few who went to Beijing to study. It was easier for them to communicate with the county magistrate Sima Heyu.

Others can't understand and can only wait for them to translate.

Tang Weiting had no choice but to act as an interpreter on both sides. Apart from eating, drinking and chatting, they met the county magistrate Sima Heyu this time, and they behaved very politely. Of course, they would not ask questions if they were not in the official circles.

If they want to know, they can check it themselves. This meeting, both parties had a great time, and the men drank a lot of wine.

There are women around him, and they are very happy.

County magistrate Sima Heyu was also relaxing, and there was a woman sitting beside him, but he didn't look at it with that kind of lewd eyes.
