Chapter 364 That's their virtue?

Before returning home, each Lizheng received two pieces of meatloaf and some fruits, saying that the county magistrate let them eat on the way and told them to be careful.Lizheng thanked you a thousand times and left happily.

Chen Fan called the county magistrate and magistrate to the office, and handed them several account books.

"This is the accounting since I took office. From now on, Yan Xiancheng will be in charge of the warehouse and keep records of the entry and exit of accounts; Bo Xianwei will be in charge of the overall finances. Take a look at how to keep the accounts. If you don't understand, you can ask. "

Nothing to ask, they've done enough copying and registration these days.

Chen Fan chose the twelfth day to take a rest.

Just after nine o'clock, the carriages came one by one.

There is a very spacious passage between the front yard office area of ​​the county government and the backyard residential area, like a small square, where many carriages can be parked.Entering from the east side door, you actually enter this small square.There is also a main gate in the backyard, and Chen Fan and Zhang Ci stood at the gate to welcome them.

"Oh, how can you trouble me to pick us up in person, it's really a sin." The family members who came said this first.Zhang Ci said with a smile: "Master Chen is very thirsty for talents, so he will naturally treat you ladies and gentlemen with great courtesy."

The officials of the county government are not considered young, and none of the wives of each family is under the age of 28. Their second round of conversation is almost always "Mr. Chen is young and promising, and he has a bright future." There are dragons and phoenixes among people."

In ten minutes, all the family members of the officials arrived.The wives of the deans of several academies in the county also arrived.Chen Fan asked Mo Jian and Qin Zheng to lead them in respectively, while she and Zhang Ci continued to wait at the door.

The restaurant is very big, Chen Fan, the guests are not divided into men's and women's areas for the time being, they are basically chatting on a family basis.

At 09:30, when no one arrived, Chen Fan and Zhang Ci went into the courtyard to find the family members.

Yan Xiancheng's eldest son, Yan Weicheng, is 22 years old and married, and his second son, Yan Zhicheng, is 20 years old.The two came over and saluted Zhang farewell.

Yan Weicheng said: "My brother and I are still studying. I am ashamed to say that we failed to pass the Juren exam last year. The fifteen students under Mr. Zhang's name all passed the Juren exam last year. We admire them very much."

Zhang Ci smiled lightly: "It's also luck, you are still young, and three years from now you will definitely be better than you are now."

Yan Zhicheng said: "Master Feng guided a group of students in Yuanfeng County five years ago, and I heard that those students did well in the exams, and one of them is Tanhualang of Jinke."

"That's right, that's Min Chengli, who was the first to recite the "Xue Er" chapter in front of adults." Yan Weicheng quickly added.

Zhang Ci still smiled lightly: "A man of high art is bold, but Min Chengli is already smart and has solid knowledge, so he dared to be the first to recite it on the spot. Zhong Shuling's instructions are the icing on the cake."

Yan Weicheng said: "We are the rags, maybe we can still look a little better by sewing and mending."

Chen Fan almost couldn't laugh out loud, and there were many people present who suppressed their laughter.

Cao Juyi's son is 27 years old. He felt that there was no hope of studying, so he came out early and opened a bookstore.He said to Yan Weicheng: "Except for those who are very smart and can get ahead in their teens, they usually have to wait until they are over 30 years old. Very few people pass the exam at the age of 20. It is the court's kindness to give them meritorious honor, otherwise every session will not be successful." I have to go to the state city to take an exam. Don't be discouraged, you two, there is hope in three years."

I don't know if these words are comforting or mocking, neither of the Yan family said anything.

There were also several teenagers present, all looking at Zhang Ci eagerly.

Chen Fan smiled: "Today we are all here for dinner, we have a good time eating and chatting. We should talk about studying on the day of studying."

Several people blinked, Yan Weicheng said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, we will ask Master Zhang for advice another day."

After chatting for a while, we divided it into male guest area and female guest area.Chen Fan chatted with the wives and daughters-in-law of various families, and asked about the situation of the academy in detail.

Chaoyun came to report that the Tong family had arrived.

Chen Fan got up and said excuse me, then walked slowly towards the door with Zhang Ci.

Tong's family is a well-established family in Yuanshuo County. They have been a Jinshi and an official to Sima.Tong Sima passed away when he was only in his fifties, and his wife returned to Yuanshuo County with his coffin.My son is also up to the challenge. He passed the exam last year and is currently teaching in the county academy while studying for the exam.

Old Madam Tong Bai Xiliu got out of the carriage, and Chen Fan greeted her.Bai Xiliu didn't salute, but stood up and called "Master Chen" and "Master Zhang" twice.

"This is my son Tong Junlan, Zaixi's 11th year Juren." Bai Xiliu proudly introduced.The Juren son of the Tong family saluted, and Chen Fan and Zhang Ci also saluted back.

"Daughter-in-law Wen Jing."

"Grandson Tong Haotian, 13 years old this year."

"Granddaughter Tong Yiqing, 15 years old this year."

Everyone saluted, Tong Yiqing looked at Zhang Ci shyly, and lowered her head shyly.

Chen Fan sneered in her heart, she didn't know how many banquets she had attended in the past five years, and she had never seen anyone so obvious.

Chen Fan asked Chaoyun to lead them into luck, and there were still people coming later.

Bai Xiliu looked displeased: "Is there anyone who is later than my Tong family?"

Chen Fan understood this time, there are not many scholars in Yuanshuo County, but there are quite a few bad tempered ones.

The Fu family arrived late. A nephew passed the Jinshi exam this year, but it was even worse than those of his own sons.

The old lady Fu is also surnamed Fu, and her name is Fu Chun.Brought the grandkids over for dinner.

Everyone entered the yard and greeted each other.

Chen Fan brought the female relatives to the inner courtyard, and Bai Xiliu and Fu Chun unceremoniously sat in the seats next to Chen Fan's.The county magistrate and the others smiled faintly, found a seat and sat down.

Bai Xiliu looked at Chen Fan: "Master Chen came from the affluent Changping Township to this barren Yuanshuo County, it's really embarrassing for Mr. Chen."

Chen Fan cupped his hands and bowed in the direction of the capital: "By His Majesty's grace, I have been bestowed with the post of county magistrate. I have the grace of the Holy Grace, and I will do my duty faithfully."

I am an official because of His Majesty's grace, you tell me it's difficult?
Bai Xiliu lost her voice.

Fu Chun said with a smile: "Master Chen has come from a long way and is busy with business, so it is inevitable that he can't take care of himself. My granddaughter is pretty smart, so let her take care of Mr. Chen?"

Chen Fan said sternly: "I have many servants and maidservants, and there is no shortage of manpower. Besides, Miss Fu is a millionaire, how can I let her take care of others?"

Fu Chun choked for a moment, and said, "It's to help Mr. Chen deal with some matters, to share his worries."

"You want Miss Fu to be a female officer? I have a teacher, so there is no need to add another female teacher."

Fu Chun was speechless in embarrassment.

Chen Fan looked at Tong Fu's family and asked them to consider the education cause in Yuanshuo County. Is this their virtue?

Bai Xiliu said, "I heard that there is a vacancy for the post of county government office secretary?"

Chen Fan nodded: "The county magistrate and the magistrate have shared the matter, and they did a very good job."

Bai Xiliu said: "The two adults are busy with affairs, it's better to have someone to share them."
