I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 268 Old Fox Pavilion

Arriving at the ferry again, Liu Qing and the other three got off the boat as they said before.

Sima Chong wondered: "Did they deliberately not follow our path?"

Huan Zhen: "Anything is possible. Either it is intentional, and once Wang Ge's journey is blocked, they can get rid of the relationship; or they simply hate us and don't want to go with us. What we can do is to speed up and go, even if Liu Qing and Sima Tao Even if you spread the news that Wang Ge is going to Bianjun, you won't be able to catch up with us."

Wang Tian worried: "Then what if we chase all the way to Xuantu County and deal with Aunt Ge in Bian County?" After the three of them arrived in Bian County, they separated from Wang Ge.

Wang Ge: "The magistrate of Huan County told me that after arriving in Bianjun, first inform the county office of the Quyuanli system."

Everyone was relieved, the border county was indeed in chaos, on the contrary, to protect a person, it was much stricter than other counties, and anyone who wanted to harm Wang Ge would have to be cut alive by the Xuantu County Office.

The third ferry directly leads to the official road.

At the moment of Xuzheng, the four said goodbye to Li Gao, and took advantage of the moonlight to walk quickly.Wang Ge imagined being chased by two wolves behind him, and he didn't feel tired after days.

Fuqu, Tiaodi, Bairong, Ruyi, the four good horses are also throwing their hooves, chasing each other.

In the afternoon of the next day, Weiting.

Wang Weng invited Cheng Shuang and Menxia Shi into the main house, and the old couple were quite nervous. Although they didn't know that Menxia Shi was an official in the county, it was difficult to hide one's bearing. They called back from the stables, and brought the strange gentleman home as a guest.

In order to show the formality, Wang Weng and Jia women carried Hutou's book case to the mat. The straw mat was too old and the case was not stable, so Jia woman grabbed a piece of wood from the Shau Kei in the corner to pad the corner of the case.

"Grandma, show me." Menxia Shi smiled and begged for the wood chips.

Cheng Shuang whispered, "Grandma Weng, let's sit down and talk."

Shi under the door waited for Wang Weng and Jia Yu to sit down before sitting with Cheng Shuang across from the desk.The former looked at the object in his hand. Yesterday, when the steward of the Peng family told the matchmaker, he mentioned a "wooden pendant" carved from whole wood, which was used to hang the sachet. , specially carved for Peng Sanlang's children, was lost later, and the Peng family is still looking for it.

Jia Yu looked at her husband nervously: What happened to the wood chip?
Shi Yuguang, a member of the family, saw it and asked: "Oh, I think this thing is really exquisitely carved, why is grandma willing to use it as a desk corner?"

"Oh, this is an object carved by my eldest granddaughter. She said that there is no need to keep the damaged objects. I threw it in the Shau Kei and forgot about it."

Cheng Shuang looked closer and wondered, "It's not broken, how good it is, the wood chips in it can still be turned."

Wang Weng smiled bitterly: "Actually, there was another reason for throwing away this object. My Age was afraid that her aunt would not let it go, so she said it was broken. This wooden vessel is called Fenglei Lianzhui. It was originally carved during a carpenter competition in Shanyin County. Then The competition was paid by a merchant. Before my eldest granddaughter signed up, I made a deed with the female official in charge of her. If she got the ranking in the competition and got the reward, I would like to donate all the rewards to the refugees in Xunxi Township. If it wasn’t for those who Refugees, if it wasn’t for the rewards for the competitions held by merchants, how could my granddaughter participate in such a wasteful skill competition?”

His subordinate Shi was astonished. According to the news obtained by Huan County Magistrate, Wang Ge's character inspection item in the Craftsman Grand Competition was "Superior Grade".
Wang Weng continued: "Competition, there are winners and losers, it's normal to be eliminated if the skills are not as good as others. But the Fenglei Lianzhu carved by my family's Age was selected, how could it end up in the hands of Feng's shopkeeper in the countryside? My granddaughter When I was talking about this incident, my face was not good-looking, so I asked my Erlang to go to the village. Coincidentally, I found Mr. Feng, and after inquiring about it, I found out that this item was picked by Mr. Xiaolang from Shanyin County in the waste pile and sold to Salesman Feng. Salesman Feng sold this item to Mr. Huan Lang, and he just went around and returned."

Scrap heap?Don't say that Jia Yu is angry when she hears this, all the disciples are angry!
Cheng Shuang deliberately asked: "Weng thinks that the merchant is deceiving others?"

"The object of the competition must be thrown away by the master, and the people below will do as the master wishes."

His family history: "To tell the truth, Grandma Weng, the competition was organized by the merchants of the Peng family in Shanyin County. There is a son of Peng Jia who lost his wife less than a year ago. Dacheli came to Tuyi County to find a matchmaker, and in a few days he will come to Weiting to propose marriage to Grandma Weng."

"What?" Jia Yu was annoyed.

His subordinate Shi knew it well, and said solemnly: "Mr. Peng Sanlang still has a son and a daughter. Mrs. Peng is only one year old. The county magistrate is afraid that Master Wang has already left home, so the steward sent by the Peng family can speak well." Shan Dao, the two elders don't know the situation, if they are persuaded to accept this relationship, it will be hard to go back on their word."

Wang Weng held his wife's hand tightly, so Jia Yu couldn't hold back her words.Wang Weng immediately expressed his attitude: "My granddaughter is determined to be a master craftsman, and she will not talk about marriage until she achieves her ambition. I have already agreed to her before she left home. Her father also meant the same thing. No matter how rich the Peng family is, , has nothing to do with my Wang family, let alone send a steward, even if it is from Pengjia, I will not allow it."

Cheng Shuang praised: "Good! Don't worry, Grandma Weng. When the matchmaker and Steward Peng come, I will also come. If Grandma Weng doesn't want to, just say no!"

On the ninth day of midwinter, four people from Wang Ge entered Xuancheng County.

After sunset, the four people, who were exhausted and exhausted, lodged in Laohu Pavilion.This pavilion is a garrison pavilion, covering a very wide area, with watchtowers and turrets.

The name "Old Fox" was inherited from the Han Dynasty. The pavilion officials took Wang Ge and the others to the courtyard and told them as they walked: "It is said that there is a fox spirit who has practiced for hundreds of years and transformed into an old woman. Just come to the station and knock on the door..."

Wang Ge thought to himself: Why do you have a problem with Chi Xiao?
"Anyone who opens the door will lose their minds. Please politely invite the old fox to come in and listen to the old fox tell some strange things."

Wang Tian: "How strange?"

The pavilion official replied quite seriously: "For example, what kind of enmity did you have in the previous life, what kind of bride did you marry, and how many officials did you have."

Behind him, Sima Chong said, "Chick."

The pavilion official said "Hey": "What's the matter?"

Both Wang Ge and Huan Zhen could not bear to laugh.

Wang Tian: "Hey, I'm farting."

Sima Chong raised his stick and beat him, Wang Tian shouted: "Help, someone is murdering!"

The pavilion official was terrified, and Huan Zhen hurriedly said: "They are just joking, you continue to talk." Then, he gave the other party five copper coins.

"Okay, okay." The pavilion official smiled happily, and then he spoke vividly, wishing that the road to the courtyard would be longer.

When passing by the first gathering courtyard, there was a mess of cursing and crying from the walls on both sides of the courtyard, there were men, women, and young children.

guilty?How many people do you need?
The pavilion official buried his head and walked on the road. Wang Tian was about to ask, but Sima Chong covered his mouth.

"Oh, let go, stinky hands! Pooh, oh."

"Ah, I forgot, I farted just now, and I covered it with this hand."

At this time, a particularly obvious curse came from a wall: "Huan Shi, Huan Zhen, I will drag you to death, worth it! Haha."

The four of them stopped, and a dead person popped up in their minds: Tao Lian!
