lying down

Enjoy all night.

Outside Wulang's wedding room, I saw two people walking lightly like cats, squatting under Wulang's window like thieves.The two looked at each other and smiled, and quickly covered their mouths, but luckily they didn't make a sound.

Silent night, silent.After a while, the red candle was extinguished.There was movement in the room, and the two of them closed their ears for fear of missing a sound.

"Xiang'er..." The voice was tense and stiff.

"Husband." The voice trembled and shyly.

"Then I'm here!" He seemed to have made up his mind.

"En." Almost inaudible.

After a while, there was no movement, and the two under the window were puzzled.It's really strange that there is a bridal chamber so quiet.

"Husband, what's the matter with you?" Xian asked with courage.

"I, I'm thirsty!" the voice was frustrated.

"Hahahaha!" The two outside the window couldn't hold back their hard work and laughed loudly.

I could only hear the noises in the room, and then the door was violently opened with a "bang", and Wu Lang stepped forward with the Panlong Bow in hand, "Dare to listen to me, Wulang, and ask the Panlong Bow in his hand if he agrees!" Talking about wanting to shoot.

I saw two people slipping away with their stomachs in their hands, obviously they were Qilang and Ouyang Yu.

In the early morning of the next day, the family sat in the main room, waiting for Wu Lang and Chu Xiang to come out to offer tea.Seeing that they were bored, Ouyang Yu and Qilang looked at each other and secretly laughed.

Ouyang Yu cleared his throat and learned: "Xiang'er...".

Qilang squeezed his throat and said, "Husband."

"Then I'm here!" Ouyang Yu imitated the valiant and high-spirited look.

"En!" Shiro snorted softly.

After learning this, everyone didn't know what he did last night and who he learned from, they all covered their mouths and laughed.

"Husband, what's the matter with you?" Qilang learned.

"I, I'm thirsty!" Ouyang Yu learned the last sentence perfectly.

Hearing this, everyone laughed heartily and tears flowed out.The old lady snorted, spit out the tea that had just entered her mouth, pointed at Ouyang Yu and scolded with a smile: "Bad boy, what's wrong with learning, let your fifth brother hear it, and you? "

Just as I was talking about this, I heard Wulang coming from the courtyard, still saying: "Mother, I'm here, it's so hot in March, the tea in the room has run out, and I'm thirsty!"

When everyone heard his last three words, they laughed and burst into tears.

"What's the matter with you, what's so funny, tell me to listen to it?" Wu Lang pulled Chu Xiang in, and saw a ball of laughter in the main hall, inexplicable.

"Fifth Brother, it's okay, even I'm thirsty!" Ouyang Yu winked at Goro and said, Goro didn't understand why, his face turned red instantly, and he was holding back very hard, "Stinky boy, your skin is itchy!" Stop chasing and hitting the past.

The whole family laughed and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.After Chu Xiang served tea to the old lady Li Wang, she officially became a bride.

Chu Xiang turned around and walked to Ouyang Yu's side, served tea with both hands, and said seriously: "Uncle, I'm here to help you in the wedding, Xiang'er will never forget it!"

"Sister-in-law, absolutely not! This is what I should do. Everyone in the family knows that I don't like others thanking me the most. If I thank me, I will be born." Ouyang Yu put away his laughter and replied seriously.

"Xiang'er, your eighth brother is telling the truth. Since he came to our house, he has contributed a lot, but he has never asked for a single cent in return. You don't have to thank him!" The old lady said, waving Chu Xiang called to stand beside him.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a person at the door asking: "Is this the Li family? Liu Yuanshan is visiting! What a bother."

"Liu Yuanshan, isn't he the county magistrate? What is he doing here?" Erlang asked strangely.

"Don't be rude, greet him first." The old lady straightened her clothes and walked out first.

There were two people standing at the door, one was Liu Yuanshan, the magistrate of the county, and the other was his son Liu Ziming.Liu Yuanshan smiled eightfold, and bowed his hands in silence.

"Liu Xiancheng, please come in!" The old lady was puzzled, but her face was full of smiles.

Liu Yuanshan sat on the chair, glanced at everyone and said: "Old man, the last time I came was on business; this time it is a certain private matter, but I want to disturb the old lady." After finishing speaking, he sat and cupped his hands.

"The county magistrate is very polite. If you have something to say, just say it. If the old man and his family can help, I will not shirk it." The old lady turned around in her heart, thinking why the county magistrate still asked for a place in our house.

"Old madam, two things happened today. One, because of the ringing a few days ago, a certain child was not good at teaching, and the child was a little arrogant on weekdays, and he was provoked by others. If there is any offence, please return the old man. There is still Wulang Haihan, thank you here! You will be disciplined when you go back." After finishing speaking, they even glanced at Liu Ziming, and the two got up together and apologized to the old lady and Wulang.

"Liu Xiancheng, you can't do it, you can't do it! You are an old man, please sit down!" The old lady had to stand up and help her, "The old saying is good, people don't waste their youth. Young people, sometimes It is inevitable to be impulsive, and it is not a big deal. Wulang also has impulsiveness in this matter, and the county magistrate should not take it to heart."

"The old lady is really a sensible person, and I was moved in my heart. However, my son Liu Ziming really wanted to change his past after the competition that day. After going through that competition, he learned a lot, which benefited him a lot in the future. Tell me, he respects your Balang Ouyang Yu very much!" Liu Yuanshan brought the topic to Ouyang Yu.

Hearing this, Ouyang Yu raised his eyes to look at Liu Ziming, only to see that he was sitting still, with lowered brows, and a serious and respectful face, it seemed that he had really changed a lot, he lost that playful look on his body.Standing up, he replied: "Ouyang Yu can't be praised by the county magistrate, it's just a coincidence, kid."

"Hehe, why not, I have heard about your deeds, Hachiro, in detail. You are a witty and courageous person. Second, some of them will also fall on you. Thank you in advance, hope Ouyang Xiao Lang to help." After speaking, he got up and saluted Ouyang Yu again.

"I would also like to ask the county magistrate to make it clear that if Ouyang Yu can do what he can, he will not shirk; but if it is beyond his ability, the boy is afraid of delaying the county magistrate's important affairs, so he dare not agree. I hope you will understand." Ouyang Yu got up and replied.I thought to myself, I have to agree without saying anything, let me kill and set fire to the fish and meat town, can I do it?

"Hehe, little brother is tight-lipped! I won't let you do things beyond your ability, and I won't let you do things that violate morality and law. I'm asking you to give me an idea. Let me explain in detail." Liu Yuanshan Hearing Ouyang Yu's answer, he didn't know that if he didn't make his point clear first, he wouldn't agree first.What's more, I was instructed by that person and entrusted by the county magistrate to act like a corporal of courtesy.

"I don't want to hide it. Last year, I got a middle school in the county's primary and secondary examinations. This county can be regarded as a clean government and a stable people's livelihood. However, it is more difficult to make progress, and the county magistrate is also worried about it. In our country's law and official laws, all are listed above the middle level. Anyone can be promoted and paid. However, everyone in the Yamen wants to go further. Of course, they will not go at the price of disturbing the people. That would lose the four virtues. It is just that there is no law. , is really an opportunity. Seeing that Ouyang Xiaolang killed a tiger to make a bow and beat a match, and heard that you came up with a lot of ideas for Wulang's wedding, I hope Ouyang Xiaolang can think of a plan to solve my worries. Regardless of the idiom, There must be a big thank you!" County Chancellor Liu Yuanshan did not mention the expert's advice, he wanted to see Ouyang Yu's real ability first.Besides, if you listen to him, you can get a good one.

When Ouyang Yu heard this, he knew about the examination of officials in the Tang Dynasty.The Ministry of Officials of the Central Ministry of Shangshu is the organ in charge of examinations. Under the Ministry of Officials, there is the Department of Examinations.In the Kaogong Division, there are one Langzhong and one Yuanwailang.All officials in the Tang Dynasty, regardless of their position, had to pass certain exams every year, called quizzes.A major exam is held every four years.The quiz evaluates the grade of the examinee; the major exam combines the grades of four years to determine the rewards and punishments.

"It's related to the county government. How can a brat make a fake hand? The county magistrate is too flattering. It's not that the kid doesn't help, but that the kid is only over sixteen this year. He has lived in the mountains for a long time and has never been born. This is the first year he has traveled in the mountains. So he is not familiar with the local conditions. I don't understand farmland water conservancy. There is a saying that 'you don't have a right to speak if you don't investigate, and you don't have a right to speak if you don't do a correct investigation'. Even if the boy wants to help, he has more than enough energy! I'm afraid it will delay the county magistrate and the county magistrate's important affairs." Ouyang Yu didn't have a clue, but the county magistrate suddenly came here to ask for help. I don't know if he is sincere or not. Even if he is sincere, let him make a decision. !

"If you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak? Xiaolang's words are deeply rooted in my heart, and there is great truth in the straightforwardness. From this, it can be seen that Xiaolang is not weak! Let me just say that every year the merit tester Wailang comes here , in addition to regular exams, we also need to visit villages in several counties. This is what Xiaolang calls "investigation", and the results account for a large proportion. The county magistrate and I want to designate Panshan Village as one of the exam villages. Put some effort, help to see what can be done, I will greet the village chief, as long as Xiao Lang says, they will follow what Xiao Lang says, okay?" The county magistrate has delegated power to Ouyang Yu, and said told the truth.

"This..." Ouyang Yu looked at the old lady, he could give it a try.But you also need to be mature and listen to what your step-mother means.

Liu Yuanshan spends his days in the officialdom, so he has long been a genius.Seeing that Ouyang Yu had loosened, he looked at the old lady again.He already understood that as long as the old lady nodded, everything would be fine.

"May the old lady be fulfilled!" Liu Yuanshan hurriedly said, bowing with both hands.

"My son, you should do it. The county magistrate condescends to come here, and he is sincere. The people under our rule should do our best to help." The old lady set the tone.

"Follow mother's order." Ouyang Yu saluted respectfully.Turning to face Liu Yuanshan, he said, "Liu County Chancellor, this kid is exercising the right to make decisions and contribute to Panshan Village, but there are a few things to ask first, one is how long will it be before Yuan Wai Lang comes here for the assessment? Can you tell me the scope of the right to make decisions and implement them? Third, if there is a plan, who will ask for the money and materials needed?" There are three questions connected in one breath, each of which is the key.

"This matter is not urgent. When I go back, I will discuss it with the magistrate. I will send someone to tell you tomorrow, but please rest assured." After that, he stood up and said, "Madam, there is a lot of trouble today, regardless of whether it is successful or not. , I must be grateful for this kindness, and I need to get closer in the future. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving!"

"What the county magistrate said is that the magistrate will not stay any longer." The old lady led the crowd to get up and send them off.

Note 1: "If you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak, and if you don't do the right investigation, you don't have the right to speak." This is the speech of ** in 1931, "Notice on Surveying Population and Land Conditions".

Note 2: For the evaluation of officials in the Tang Dynasty, the detailed appendix "Review and Enlightenment of the Evaluation System of Officials in the Tang Dynasty" contains minor changes due to the needs of the article.Also please forgive me.
