But the bright moon shines on the ditch

The so-called lice don't itch, An Nineteen is in this state now, no matter what the people arrange, he wanders in the majesty of the "Fox King", showing a bit of ease.As if the more attention he got, the more justified his authority.The deeper the people's fear, the stronger his position in Jingdezhen.

Later, Liang Peiqiu and Wang Yunxian went to Huangjiazhou together, and personally asked the Zhoumin about the situation that night, and it was as good as what was said in the script.

The lights on the beach were not extinguished until nearly dawn. Xu Zhiliu and Xu Fu talked for a long night, and then shook hands with Xu Daren and made peace.The people of the island did not know the inside story, so they naturally believed that Xu Fu had been threatened, and they wanted to cause trouble again, but Xu Fu suppressed them one by one.

Xu Fu, who had lived to a certain age and whose hair was almost half white, was kept silent when asked about it. It was really humiliating, and the local people directed the disaster to Xu Zhiliu. Even the most hated Xu Daren was not so hateful anymore.On the contrary, the people who were once glorious and glorious, fell into the dust overnight beyond recognition, and it is the people who are most unwilling and angry.

With this kind of emotion, there is nothing to say.

As time went on, the rumors became more and more intense, and it was difficult to clear the whites after being stained black.

They walked around and saw people from the Suhu Guild Hall collecting land rent. The local people cried or made noises, but finally they all chose to bow their heads under intimidation.

Liang Peiqiu felt uncomfortable, and wanted to argue for Xu Zhiliu but didn't know how to open her mouth. The facts were clearly in front of her eyes, and the angry scolding and forbearance of the people in her ears kept her from opening her mouth.

Not long after, it came to the Double Ninth Festival, and as autumn entered, the summer scene suddenly went away, and Jingdezhen was rarely bustling again.

However, compared with the festival, a "scandalous event" that day seemed to be more lively.

There are also some literati and poets in Jingdezhen, who are very fond of the custom of planting dogwood and drinking chrysanthemum wine on September [-]th.On this day, men mostly like to climb high to admire chrysanthemums, because "climbing high" means "high school" and "grade", while women participate in chrysanthemum festivals, gather for drinking, appreciate chrysanthemums and compose poems.

It is said that in the mid-autumn season, the autumn is high and refreshing, and it is a beautiful thing to climb high and look far away. The county magistrate Zhang Wensi is keen to create a good reputation among the people. Go to a meeting to appreciate chrysanthemums.

Climbing the heights in the morning and attending a poetry meeting and banquet in the afternoon, the officials and the people have fun together, so happy.

Although Zhang Wensi doesn't have much ink in his belly, he is very good at officialdom, making friends with talented people from all over the world, and being friendly with the people in the villages and towns. Someone poured cold water on me.

The reason is that Mrs. Zhang went to the Guanyin Temple to worship her ancestors. When she was praying for a good harvest, she was bumped by a beggar who didn’t know where she came from, and accidentally fell down. .

It just so happened that there were a lot of pilgrims going to the Guanyin Temple on this day, so it didn't matter if she threw fire, the reputation of the county magistrate's wife was spread.

The common people secretly thought that Mr. Zhang was not strict with the housekeeping, and they only talked about it privately. No one dared to go to one of the parents to reveal it to the officials. Who would have thought that something happened again in the afternoon. Mrs. Zhang actually took advantage of her natal family's power. Her natal uncle had recently been promoted to a high position. Don't look down upon the chrysanthemum wine that the common people worked together to brew.

It should be known that Chongyang is a special day, chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity, and chrysanthemum wine is an "auspicious wine" to ward off disasters and pray for good fortune. The yamen took ten years to hide their daughter Hong and came over.

At this moment, she only drank with a few officials' wives, and did not take her white body into consideration at all.

Most of the people in charge of the Three Kilns and Nine Associations are merchants, usually rich and powerful, how can they bear this uselessness?There was a few quarrels in the hatchback, and I didn't dare to speak too clearly, for fear of offending people severely, who knows Mrs. Zhang is an unforgiving master, and she openly tied up several wives who are in charge of the Sanyao Jiuhui, saying They despised the official power, disrespected the county magistrate, directly arrested people and locked them in the county government prison.

As a result, the matter broke out completely. Zhang Wensi had a few cups of chrysanthemum wine and was being touted by others.

My own mother-in-law is bullying others and bullying others too much. As soon as this word spreads, everyone says that he is the master of Jingdezhen, and his wife's family is a high-ranking official in Beijing. Doesn't everyone ignore him?

Even though Zhang Wensi was a little proud of himself, he was really happy to take advantage of the mother-in-law, but he would never dare to jump over An Shijiu to become the No. 1 in Jingdezhen!Because her hairs were standing on end, the first time she heard the news, she didn't go back to the county government office to take care of the follow-up, but threw herself on the eunuch's door to show her loyalty.

At this time, Xu Zhiliu was drinking with An Nineteen, talking about the customs of the Double Ninth Festival in the town and kilns.

After listening to this, An Jiu realized that it was not easy for the people to brew chrysanthemum wine. The hard work was not shown for the time being. The sincerity of participating in the grand event was the key. Only then did he understand that the first cup of chrysanthemum wine enshrined in Guanyin Temple was a supreme symbol of authority. tribute.

There are still people who don't like it.

He said to Zhang Wensi: "I heard that your wife thinks the chrysanthemum wine is too rough to drink?"

Zhang Wensi broke into a cold sweat and said he didn't dare. He would definitely discipline his wife well after returning home.

An Jiu pretended to be frightened and waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't dare. Later, your wife will ask my maternal uncle to read a copy for me in Beijing. I will have to move my head."

"Elder-in-law, don't say that, you're killing me!"

"Master Zhang is seeing that his wings are hardening now, it seems that I have to talk to my godfather as soon as possible, and arrange the rear route in advance so that I can make room for you."

This beating really scared Zhang Wensi so much that he released the imprisoned wives overnight, and even planned to bring the wives to the house to apologize.

After he left, An Jiu squeezed the cup, savoring the astringent and really rough chrysanthemum wine, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Great talent Xu watched a good show, how do you feel?" Xu Zhiliu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, his voice was cold: "Elder-in-law should know more about Master Zhang than I do."

These words seem to be questionable, but both parties have a tacit understanding, Zhang Wensi's loyalty is true and false, no need for others to say, An Jiu has a steelyard in his heart.

Xu Zhiliu clicked and stopped, neither pretending nor talking deeply, just this sentence, which was neither painful nor itchy, made An Nineteen smile.

"Xu Zhiliu, you really have my heart."

I don’t know if he had two too many drinks tonight, but he couldn’t see clearly now. Seeing that this person was really using him, how could everything he did lately not be to his liking?But my heart is hanging and I can never let it go.

Maybe this is the old saying, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years?How could the young man in front of me be so wild and rebellious!
An Nineteen had some thoughts, wanted to test whether this happened today was a coincidence or man-made, so he left Xu Zhiliu to say a few more words.The two of them twisted and turned, and it was really hard for them to talk.

He didn't wave his hand until he was too sleepy to keep his eyes open after drinking.

Xu Zhiliu returned to the Hutian kiln, and as expected, there was still one person sitting in the room.

Wu Yinzheng was holding the sword, reclining on the couch, flipping through a book of travel notes, and immediately heard the movement, he threw himself in front of Xu Zhiliu and laughed loudly: "It's really interesting to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, I think Zhang Wensi's face is blue when he leaves." gone."

Xu Zhiliu's face was a little drunk, his cheekbones were slightly red, his eyes were still as clear as ever, and he couldn't see any emotion.He went to the inner room to wash his hands and change his clothes. After he sat down at the table, he slowly asked, "Where is Xia Ying?"

Wu Yin didn't speak, trying to show off.

But he couldn't compare to Xu Zhiliu's Shen Jing, he didn't talk, he didn't ask, he just wasted his time.After spending too much time, he couldn't help it anymore, and scolded: "Xu Zhiliu, you are really inhuman."

He added, "We have already arrived in the town in the evening, and we are catching up with the fresh excitement. I see that Zhang Wensi may not have a peaceful sleep this night, and there will be more trouble tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhang's marriage to Zhang Wensi was a low-level marriage. She had always been a domineering master in her family. Now that her mother's family was so prosperous, she did not take Zhang Wensi seriously.

Zhang Wensi wanted to ask his mother-in-law and his family to apologize, and to show his affection to An Jiu, it seemed that it would take some effort.

If Xia Ying doesn't take the opportunity to light up the new official's appointment at this time, then his prestige will be in vain!

"What are you?"

Xu Zhiliu raised her head when she heard the words: "What?"

"You still pretend to be with me!"

Wu Yin sat down on the desk and looked at the young man through the thin candlelight. After washing up, the smell of alcohol on his face dissipated a little, but his eyes were unexpectedly blurred. Darkness makes people see flowers in the mist and is unpredictable.

But he was sure in his heart that this was Xu Dacai who specially asked him to inquire about the new official's itinerary, so as to prepare a nomination certificate for the new official in advance.

The next day, a group of students gathered in front of the county yamen, posing as "the emperor of the Qing Dynasty", and wanted to see how the county magistrate would kill his relatives righteously and complete the glorious image he had created on a daily basis.

Unexpectedly, it was the new official who took office single-handedly!

The low-key and pragmatic attitude of the new official has won a lot of good reputation at once.It can be said that Zhang Wensi made wedding clothes for others, and he didn't get any benefits, but Xia Ying was cheaper.

This day was as noisy and bustling as Wu Yin could imagine, and there were many people in front of the county government office.There are those who watch the excitement, those who come to congratulate, and those who are begging for new officials to call the shots are endless.

Xia Ying made a decisive decision, extinguishing Zhang Wensi's arrogance in one day.Not only that, the next day he had a meeting with the head of the Three Kilns and Nine Associations and the manager of the Royal Kiln Factory to learn about the current situation of the porcelain industry in the town.

All the heads of the family should be careful to keep company, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest. Privately, they hope that the new official will be as good a person as Mr. Yang, otherwise he will be like Zhang Wensi, who will be the same as the eunuch.

Fortunately, Xia Ying is a good official.

He didn't like extravagance and waste, he turned down all the banquets and wine, he didn't want to form cliques and seek personal gain, he vigorously investigated the three kilns and nine associations, and eliminated them one by one from top to bottom.Some of Anjiu's cronies were even turned over to the state government office on the spot, making Zhang Wensi unable to fart a single one. Only Anjiu has been operating in Jingdezhen for several years, and the roots are deep and intertwined, so it is not easy to shake them.

But even if a few lice were caught from him, the big guy would be happy.

The happiest person here is undoubtedly Wang Yu.
