Chapter 274
Gu Rao and Bie Ye went to the pier and made an appointment with the boatman to reserve two seats by the window for them at Mao shi tomorrow, and also gave them a deposit.
On the way back from the pier, Bie Ye was still persuading, "Aren't you seasick? We can go slowly in a carriage, there is no need to take a boat."
Gu Rao felt lucky.
"I don't get seasick every time, sometimes I get seasick, sometimes I don't get seasick, besides, we booked a seat by the window in advance, as long as we sit by the window, we don't smell the smell made by other people in the cabin. Strange smell, I won't get seasick."
Bie Ye, "...I hope so."
"But I still think it's more convenient to go by carriage."
Gu Rao doesn't have a long memory, and at this moment she has completely forgotten the pain of being seasick last time.
"It's convenient to take a carriage, but renting a carriage is much more expensive than taking a boat, and the journey is much longer. It will take at least half an hour, so there is no need for that."
When passing by the fruit stand, Bie Ye silently bought some oranges.
He asked Dr. Wu specifically before, and the doctor said that orange peel and ginger can effectively relieve the symptoms of seasickness, so it is better to prepare some of them.
-
The next day, Gu Rao and Bie Ye came to the county seat by boat, first found a noodle restaurant, and ordered two bowls of beef noodles and a bowl of wonton.
After eating, I came to the Yamen.
The yamen guard at their door knew them and greeted them warmly.
"Don't boss, Mrs. Gu, long time no see!"
"Why are you here again?"
"Could something happen again?"
Having said that, he sighed.
"It's a pity that you are late, my lord... No, the previous county magistrate has resigned, and you won't be able to see him."
The corner of Gu Rao's mouth twitched.
"We didn't come here specifically to find him."
The yamen servant smiled.
"It will be more convenient for you to come to the yamen to do business, if the county magistrate knows him." After looking around, seeing no outsiders, he whispered, "Now the county magistrate is not so easy to talk to."
Gu Rao heard something.
"Like?"
The yamen servant stretched out his hand, rubbed his index finger and thumb together, and said, "You guys want to do something, and do it well, without this it would be impossible."
Gu Rao frowned.
"Is he so blatantly corrupt?"
The yamen servant hurriedly whispered, "My aunt, please keep your voice down, if the county magistrate overhears, it's okay for you to be tortured yourself, don't get me involved!"
"I'm just telling you this for the sake of getting to know you well, and I want you to do things more smoothly later. Don't hurt me!"
Gu Rao said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was the one who spoke out just now, and almost got you involved."
The yamen servant waved his hand.
"Fortunately, no one heard it. What are you here for? I'll go in and inform you."
Gu Rao said, "Let me handle the household registration."
The yamen servant was stunned.
"Household registration?"
"Aren't you from this county?"
Gu Rao didn't intend to discuss this issue with him in depth, but simply said, "It wasn't before, but it is now."
The yamen servant thought that she was married from afar, and she would marry a chicken as a chicken and a dog as a dog, so now she wants to transfer her household registration to her husband's name.
In fact, in a slightly more formal family, when the man and woman get married, the wife's household registration will be transferred from her natal family.
Only in the villages, there are not so many particularities. Many couples just pay homage and get married in the village, and pass their whole life like this, without registering in the yamen.
The two have been married for a long time, but they have only come to register now.
Although he couldn't figure it out, it was someone else's business, and he didn't bother to care about it, so he said to Gu Rao and Bie Ye, "Wait for me, I'll report to you."
Gu Rao gave him ten pennies.
"Thanks a lot."
A smile appeared on the servant's face.
"You're welcome!"
"Next time if you have anything to do, you can come to me at any time. We are all acquaintances. I will definitely do my best to help you!"
After speaking, he went in.
Gu Rao looked at his back with a complicated expression.
Bieye asked, "Unhappy?"
Gu Rao nodded.
"Ah."
In the past, when Sunan was the county magistrate, the atmosphere in the yamen was very good. These yamen servants did not dare to accept bribes, because the management of Sunan was very strict.
Now that Sunan has left, the atmosphere here has also changed.
A clean and honest county magistrate, or a corrupt and incompetent county magistrate, who is more popular naturally needless to say, what will happen to the fate of Donghuang County in the future.
She lives in Donghuang County and is likely to be affected.
Bie Ye pressed her shoulder.
"Don't worry too much."
Gu Rao nodded.
"Fortunately, we have money. Even if he is greedy, we can still afford it. If there is no money, today's matter may be difficult."
The yamen servant will come out soon.
"You can go in."
Gu Rao and Bie Ye were about to go in, when the yamen servant came over and reminded him in a low voice, "Remember what I said, everything is easy to do if you have money."
"Be sensible yourself."
Gu Rao nodded.
Although he is not happy with the newly appointed corrupt officials, he also clearly knows that he is just an ordinary person, knows how much he has, the people do not fight with officials, and he does not like corrupt officials, so he has to give money in order to do things.
It was exactly as the yamen servant said.
After Gu Rao and Bie Ye went in, the person in charge of household registration did not directly apply for their household registration. After asking some basic information, they told them that things were a bit difficult.
It was originally a very simple matter, but the person in charge of the registration said that Gu Rao was a slave, and it was difficult to change to a free one.
Even though she had already smeared the deed of prostitution on the man's face, the man still talked a little bit, implying that they should pay the money quickly, with an attitude of not doing anything if they don't pay.
Gu Rao, "..."
What else can she do?
I can only bear it!
At the beginning, ten coins were given.
The person who registered looked a little better. After putting the money in his pocket, he looked at their clothes, and then clicked his tongue twice, "I can't do it today, you can come back tomorrow."
Gu Rao took a deep breath, and didn't bother to go around in circles with him anymore.
"Didn't I already give the money?"
"The matter of changing the household registration is originally very simple. I have been studying since I was a child, and I remember the laws of the Yu country clearly. Do you want me to recite it for you?"
Those who registered did not expect to meet someone who knew the law.
But he wasn't worried.
The county magistrate allowed these bribes to be accepted. After he took them, most of them would be given to the county magistrate, and he could only keep a small part.
He wants to distribute the ten coins to the county magistrate for seven coins, but he only has three coins in his hands, so he can't just forget about it!
So what if you know the law?
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. In Donghuang County, the words of the county magistrate are the law, and they all have to listen to the county magistrate!
If the county magistrate says not to do it, then he won't do it!
"It's not difficult to change your household registration. However, our yamen has a lot of things to do, and what to do every day is arranged in advance. It's normal for you to come late and wait a little later."
"I can't let you jump in line, can I?"
Gu Rao said, "Aren't you free now?"
Those who register take their time.
"Now is my rest time. If it weren't for my kindness, you might not be able to enter the yamen today, nor would you be able to see me."
"If you want to do business, you must register in advance."
