Chapter 25 How to fill the hole?
Yang Zhiyuan was indeed tricked!

Today is the first day of his appointment, the county magistrate took the initiative to greet him after learning about it, and the county magistrate, Dian Shi and county lieutenant also all arrived.

When Yang Zhiyuan took the first step in the scientific examination and got his name as a child, the chief examiner was the county magistrate's father.

It's been a long time, the old county magistrate has already retired, and this county magistrate Fang Qingyuan also became the parental official of Qingcheng County after he won the honor of Jinshi.

As one of the few people in Qingcheng County with a Jinshi reputation, Fang Qingyuan is naturally willing to win over Yang Zhiyuan.

The person who can win the title of Jinshi can be said to be selected from tens of thousands, or tens of thousands of people. The county magistrate Fang has already known Yang Zhiyuan's wealth background, but he didn't bother to investigate it.

The person who passed the Jinshi examination came here to be a ninth-rank sesame official, calculating with his toes, and he didn't have any backing behind him.

What's wrong with such a person to win over and make friends with?If Yang Zhiyuan is capable, he will have one more helper. If Yang Zhiyuan is a pedantic person who gnaws at books, and even more incompetent, looking for trouble, then he doesn't need to do it himself, someone will take care of him .

So County Magistrate Fang is very close to Yang Zhiyuan today, calling him his junior in the name of his father who was Yang Zhiyuan's examiner.

Fang Qingyuan's praise and closeness made Yang Zhiyuan ecstatic, and he repeatedly kowtowed to Fang County Magistrate, promising to work hard and down-to-earth in the future, and he would not erase the county magistrate's title of "junior brother".

Fang Qingyuan was very happy to hear it, but the county magistrate and Dian Shi were not happy.

The reason is actually very simple.

First, the county magistrate is older than the official of the master, and the official position of the eighth grade, the monthly salary is one stone and one bucket of rice more than the master; Every time County Magistrate Fang praised Yang Zhiyuan, the county magistrate's face burned.

The reason for Yang Zhiyuan's displeasure in the history of the classics is even simpler.

Because he is the follower of the county magistrate, although he is a Dian Shi, but this position is actually dispensable, not to mention being an official of the imperial court, but a chicken rib set by each county according to the personnel. This Dian Shi flattered the county After Cheng Cheng, he also got the promise of the county Cheng to find an appropriate opportunity to promote him to the master book and become an official court official.

Dian Shi was very happy, but who would have thought that Yang Zhiyuan suddenly appeared, completely shattering his dream.

If there is no killing, there will be no harm, and if there is no greed for fame and status, there will be no birth of conspiracy and calculation.

There is never any need to discuss in advance, and the county magistrate and Dian Shi just exchanged glances, and the two went to praise Yang Zhiyuan one after another. It was Yang Zhiyuan who greeted the county magistrate in person to thank him, but was entrusted by the county magistrate. With this little trick, Yang Zhiyuan invited all the people in the county government to dinner.

County magistrate Fang also knew that the county magistrate was deliberately playing tricks, but he also wanted to see how Yang Zhiyuan would deal with it, so he agreed without hesitation.

Yang Zhiyuan felt very bitter. When he mentioned that there was an orphan at home, the county magistrate sent someone to pick up Sanskrit directly.

Bite the bullet and was carried to a luxurious restaurant in Qingcheng County, Yang Zhiyuan was already dizzy without a glass of wine.

what to do?No money!

This day is going to be a big shame!
Although Fanyin didn't know what happened to Yang Zhiyuan, she felt from the bottom of her heart that her father had been tricked.

Without saying much, he went back to the house and put on a clean robe, wiped his hands and face, hid his baggage with money and followed him out of the house.

Sanskrit did not bring any silver, because the rest of the money was scattered copper coins, heavy, heavy, and occupying space. The key is that this person has already said that she is inviting all the people in the county government to eat. Bringing it is not enough to pay the bill, so it is better not to bring it.

"Why are you a little bald man?"

The yamen servant took Sanskrit to the restaurant, and he couldn't help but ask out his curiosity. He wasn't interested in Sanskrit, but was curious about the private life of the new chief lord. The fire of gossip was burning, anyway, it seemed that It's a little girl of seven or eight years old, so it's okay to ask.

"I'm keeping filial piety for my mother." Sanskrit replied very clearly, "It will be three years in a few months."

"Shouxiao...then how old are you?"

"Ten years old."

The two chatted while walking, the Sanskrit voice was long and thin, and they could talk even more. They weren't liked by people, but they weren't disliked either. They chatted with the yamen servants along the way, and also asked about some interesting things in Qingcheng County. things, as well as famous doctors and temples.

Yang Zhiyuan's face was bitter.

He originally thought that since he came here bravely, he might as well have a drink, and use the excuse of being drunk and unconscious to escape the bill for this meal first, even if no one pays the bill, even if he owes it first and then pays it back in the future. Okay, at least this day, I will round my face first.

But who would have thought that the yamen servants drank heavily and ate meat downstairs, while county magistrate Fang, county magistrate Wu, county captain Zhang, and Sun Dianshi didn't drink at all, and only ate light dishes in the private room upstairs. , sipping light tea, talking about greetings.

How can you pretend to be drunk?drunk tea?Isn't that obviously just pretending!

Yang Zhiyuan wanted to cry in pain, but County Magistrate Fang was in high spirits, and from time to time he would discuss some Jinshi subjects with him, discussing current literature and politics, citing scriptures and classics, which was a great joy.

The county magistrate and Dian Shi waited to see Yang Zhiyuan make a fool of himself, and the magistrate was bored.

He is a rough person in charge of law and order in the county, how can he hear things that he is used to?Seeing the smirks on the faces of Wu Xiancheng and Sun Dianshi, he had no intention of intervening other than a cold snort.

These literati just don't have a good fart in their stomachs...

Lieutenant Zhang poured all the big bowl of tea into his mouth, and there was a crisp sound of "clang" when he put down the cup, which made Fang county magistrate stop, and reprimanded:
"You bastard, this is the Junshan Silver Needle that I specially brought. Even my old man hides the special quality tea that he secretly tastes. Letting you drink it like wine is really a waste!"

The two have been friends for many years, County Magistrate Fang scolded with a smile, County Captain Zhang was not angry, and replied:

"It's up to you to taste these things. No matter how good the tea is in my mouth, it's not as good as spirits, and it's not even as good as a copper-and-a-jar of watered wine!"

"You, you!" Magistrate Fang was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry, and Yang Zhiyuan echoed:
"Everyone has their own preferences. County Captain Zhang is a passionate person. Don't talk about others, just talk about me. No matter how good the food is for me, it can't compare to a bowl of noodle soup made by my daughter."

"Oh? How delicious are the noodles made by Mr. Yang's daughter? I wonder if there is a chance to try them?" Delicious noodles? Well, Zhiyuan is also a lucky person, not to mention noodles, I can't even have a bowl of water served by my son."

"That's your brat who needs a beating. Take a few big ear photons, not to mention serving water, you can do it honestly!" Zhang Xianwei's words made Fang County magistrate angrily wave his hands, "You just don't want to Wait at the table with me to taste tea and discuss elegance, hurry up and drink your wine!"

"This is what the county magistrate has said. Brother Zhiyuan, don't blame me for being rude!" Lieutenant Zhang got up and went out with a smile. Prisoner released.

As soon as Lieutenant Zhang went out, he saw a nun stroking his bald head, and when he hid in fright, he saw the yamen servant nodding and bowing to greet him.

"Who is this? Aren't you going to pick up Master Yang's daughter?" County Captain Zhang scolded, and the yamen servant quickly laughed, pouted his mouth and eyes, indicating that this was Master Yang's daughter.

"My name is Yang Huailiu, what's your name?" Fanyin saluted politely, Zhang Xianwei looked at her with wide eyes, the girl is a little nun?What happened to Yang Zhiyuan?
The flames of gossip spread here, and County Captain Zhang lost his desire to drink, so he sideways brought Sanskrit into the house and yelled, "Yang Zhiyuan, is this your daughter?"

Lieutenant Zhang Xian had a loud voice, and everyone's attention was drawn to him with his shout.

Fanyin looked at Yang Zhiyuan. After the father and daughter looked at each other, Fanyin saluted everyone, and then stood behind Yang Zhiyuan.

"This is my daughter Huai Liu. After my wife passed away, she voluntarily shaves my wife and honors her filial piety, fulfilling her responsibilities as a son-in-law. I only found out about this when I returned home this time. I'm ashamed!" Yang Zhiyuan's words were not just greetings.

County Magistrate Fang nodded repeatedly, looked at Sanskrit carefully, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What a filial daughter!"

"Master Xie County Magistrate, praise!" Fanyin's answer made Fang County Magistrate startled, "How do you know that I am the county magistrate?"

Sanskrit looked at Yang Zhiyuan, and asked if he could say it. Yang Zhiyuan waved his hands without hiding it, and said, "You can say what you think, you little girl, how can the county magistrate blame you?"

"I haven't said anything yet, I'm going to find a step for my daughter first!" Wu Xiancheng seemed to be joking, but his words made Yang Zhiyuan a little embarrassed.

Magistrate Fang ignored the two of them and just looked at Sanskrit.

Fanyin said seriously:
"You are sitting at the main seat, wearing a blue robe, with a picture painted on it, and the teacup you use is carved with celadon, which is different from the ones used by other people. Of course, you are the county magistrate!"

"Hahaha!" Fang Qingyuan laughed heartily, "Junior Brother Zhiyuan, you are such an amazing girl, you can actually tell my identity from the color of the clothes and the drawing, let alone a child, I'm afraid I'm just an ordinary person Don't even know."

"Magistrate Fang made a joke." Yang Zhiyuan's face was also full of joy, and he didn't expect Fanyin's observation ability to be so strong.

"How can this be a joke, this is her skill, and you taught it well!" Fang County magistrate praised a few words, but Wu County Cheng took it over, "Master Yang is indeed a good educator, even my own It takes a lot of painstaking effort to teach the daughters of the officials to memorize the colors and patterns of official clothes by heart!"

Magistrate Fang's expression fell, and Yang Zhiyuan frowned slightly. These words were harsh, as if he had ulterior motives and deep scheming, so he didn't know how to answer them.

Fanyin frowned, and looked at Wu Xiancheng, it seems that this is the person who dug a hole for her father...
