Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

In the Shaohua Building, the eighth child who accompanied Fan Zheng's family restrained his coquettishness a little, and bragged to Fan Baili eloquently.

"Which family's ancestors haven't been rich yet! My great-grandfather, but he led the horse and fell on the pedal for Emperor Wu of Chen's taboo, and Emperor Wu gave him a surname, so he is also a close minister of the emperor."

"Emperor Wen is a good new minister. Great-grandfather was treated coldly. Emperor Xuan remembered his great-grandfather's merits and wanted to reward him. Great-grandfather asked himself to guard Emperor Wu's mausoleum."

"Later, he was eviled by Chen Shubao, the queen master of Chen Dynasty, and sent as a frontier general. When Sui broke Jiankang, his great-grandfather sent troops to rescue him, but was killed by the mountain people."

"The great-grandfather had no sons. Three concubine sons guarded Jiankang. Two died in battle. One was captured by the Sui army. He was favored by Han Qinhu, so he would not be a pervert."

Han Qinhu's original name was Han Qinbao, but he changed his name after capturing a tiger alive. He was Uncle Li Jing, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty.

Fan Zheng laughed straight away.

In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were many disturbances, and weeds grew on many dry mounds.

Emperors, big and small, have few fuel-efficient lamps.

Fan Baili still liked to listen to Lao Ba's lectures on ancient times, and even forgot to eat the jujube in his hand, looking leisurely and fascinated.

Fan Zheng chuckled: "Just in time, Chen Xiande, a doctor of the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry, is coming to Huazhou to inspect the waters. He is Chen Shuda, the son of Emperor Chen Xuan and the younger brother of Empress Chen. Can you also talk about the old days?"

Chen Zuchang's face changed slightly, and then he smiled like a spring breeze: "That's great."

Tsk, there is a story!
However, Fan Zheng was not interested in getting to the bottom of it. The old man was willing to tell Fan Baili that it was his freedom, but he had nothing to do with Fan Zheng.

When people get along with each other, wherever they are as close as a husband and wife, they need to leave a little privacy for themselves and each other.

Your mother-in-law shouted every day: "Say, what did you say to the widow next door?"

It happens that when you talk to people, you do it in public.

One day or two days you can bear it, every day like this, can you live on?

Chen Zuchang was still a bit cautious. He seemed to be telling Fan Baili a story, but he was actually telling Fan Zheng about his background.

Don't care if what he said is false or true, anyway, it's the background, isn't it?
Fan Zheng glanced at Old Ba: "Captain Xuanjie is not young anymore, hasn't he married a wife yet? Are you sick?"

The old eight is almost cursing, which pot is not open, which pot is not open, and whoever has a family still hangs around the fireworks and willow alley every day!

This envoy is a villain!
The widow has a disease, the widow is lustful!
It's really not that there is something wrong with Chen Zuchang, he has been wandering around like that, it's just that he hasn't found a little lady who makes his heart flutter.

It's not that there are any requirements for appearance or family background, it's just a feeling.

After all the years of absurdity, Chen Zuchang is already very resistant to beauty, and he is also qualified to say "pink skull" by pretending to be an eminent monk.

Playing around all day is actually because of the emptiness in my heart.

Du Shengxia chuckled: "My Ruyang Du family, although not a famous family, is also well-known. If Captain Xuanjie doesn't give up, I can invite some young ladies of the same clan to visit Huazhou."

Fan Zheng laughed and said, "At that time, Colonel Xuanjie will be your guide, explaining the scenic spots of Qianlong Temple and the steepness of Mount Shaohua."

If you meet your eyes, it will be a beautiful thing.

Du Shengxia saw that Fan Zheng intended to win over Chen Zuchang, so she opened her mouth to break the situation.

Hmph, who told Fan Zheng to be a single seedling, why not let the county king break the game?

This is the advantage of having roots behind. If you say you want to marry, you can immediately pull out ten or eight young ladies of the same age, and there is always a suitable one.

Speaking of imperial orders, Du Shengxia was depressed for a while.

The men have already passed the third-rank inspection, and the wife is still the county monarch, so it doesn't match, okay?
But there is no way, Fan Zheng's own rank is still a fifth rank.

Chen Zuchang got up solemnly and crossed his hands: "I would like to thank the envoy's wife for your kindness. It's just that I'm a dissolute man, and I'm not a good match for others. I'm afraid I'll miss the life of my beautiful lady."

Du Cai Shengxia waved her hand: "Whether it fits or not, we'll talk about it after we meet."

Fan Zheng was slightly displeased: "Why? Is this official not worthy of thanks?"

Du Shengxia covered her lips and smiled lightly, Lang Jun became naughty again.

Chen Zuchang resumed his unruly appearance: "The lower officials are working for the emperor, and the emperor rewards the lower officials. Isn't that a matter of course? Only by making the emperor's wife care about it is an extra affection."

Fan Zheng was speechless.

Mrs. Gao shook her head three times, her face covered with lead powder showed a flattering smile: "I have seen the envoy, Mrs. Tai, madam, the two yamen, and Captain Xuanjie."

"The women are in trouble, and I beg the king to show mercy and give Huazhou shadow puppets a way out."

Fan Zheng turned his eyes slightly: "Cowhide?"

According to the imperial decree, neither cowhide nor tendons are allowed to be kept privately by the people.

However, the material needed for Huazhou shadow puppetry is cowhide, which has become a deadlock.

The shadow puppets made in the early years have gradually become unusable after years of erosion.

Don't ask if it can be replaced by other livestock skins. How many years of experience have accumulated by others, can they be replaced sooner?

Mrs. Gao's vocal cords were uneasy: "Shadow puppets have been passed down in Huazhou for thousands of years. When they are passed down to future generations, they will know that there is a thing called shadow puppets in Huazhou."

People versus officials, it's okay if no interests are involved, and everyone salutes cheerfully.

When it comes to interests, I'm afraid that people will turn their faces and pull them to the Yamen to walk.

Fan Zheng sighed softly.

Mrs. Gao is a civilian woman who still has this knowledge, but there are many officials who don't care about inheritance at all, and many treasures have been cut off since then.

"I will report this matter to the imperial court. However, you should know that the cowhide is in the hands of the imperial court. What is the reason? Even if the imperial court can accept the request, the production of shadow puppets must be designated by the state government and supervised by subordinate officials."

It is absolutely impossible to say that asking the shadow puppet to take out the entire cowhide is a death penalty.

In case someone was holding rough cowhide leather armor, even Fan Zheng would have to suffer.

Mrs. Gao yelled happily: "Your Majesty is kind, and I would like to do something for the Huazhou Shadow Puppetry. Hurry up! Give the glutinous rice balls from the building to the Yamen for a taste test!"

Lao Ba looked at Fan Zheng in surprise.

It is a thankless task for the governor to submit a mere shadow puppet. It may attract criticism from political opponents, but he does not gain anything.

The days of shadow puppets are not easy, how much oil can be scraped on the legs of egrets?
It is a lack of control, the outflow of cowhide, although the governor may not be dismissed because of this, the examinations will inevitably be affected.

Otherwise, in the 29th year since the founding of the country, the governor said at least five or six changes, why did people not accept this matter?

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Chen Zuchang persuaded weakly.

"A man stands in the world, he does something, and he doesn't do something." Fan Zheng took a sip of the liquor. "The good things passed down by the ancestors should be passed on to the future generations."

"Although it is difficult, the inheritance cannot be broken."

Fan Zheng's family left the Shaohua Building, and several young and old shadow puppets stood outside the gate, kowtowing from a distance.

No matter whether Fan Zheng can do it or not, at least he is the only envoy who is willing to respond positively.

Someone suggested that this matter be sung into the shadow puppetry, but Mrs. Gao rejected it.

"If you enter into singing before something is accomplished, then you can't become an envoy? No!" (End of this chapter)
