Chapter 28 Dun Guyi's Collection of Axillary Reporting Teacher's Family Feelings
But it was said that it was approaching Chongyang at that time, and the Nanwei Township Examination was released.Mr. An was just getting a copy of "Jiangnan Xinke Weimo" and was reading it there. He heard the commotion in front of the county government office, and then he heard nothing, but he got used to it and didn't care about it, so he still read the article.Suddenly Dai Qin ran in in a hurry and said, "the imperial envoy is here to pay homage." Although Master An is calm, he can't help but be surprised.I said in my heart: "Is it true that the imperial envoy came to urge the official Xiang to come?" Reached out to take the notebook and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be him! Just say 'Master Wu' and 'Master Wu', I will think about it again I'm sorry who it is!" Because he got up slowly and left his seat, he said, "Come in, please." Seeing that Uncle Nawu came in all dressed up, he first saluted Mr. An with a flag and greeted him, and got up, Another foreign official's salute was made, and he bowed three times.Mr. An also returned the favor with half a courtesy.Uncle Wu got up, walked closer to look at the master's face, and said, "Teacher's face is not bad. It's just that such a trouble happened!"

Let's have some tea for a while.Uncle Wu opened his mouth and said first: "The teacher's letter has been received by the student. Because there is a few taels of silver that can't be turned around, someone sent it, and immediately sent it to the court here, and now I have brought it here." Then he asked: "Teacher's letter." How is the official project now?" Mr. An said that it was inconvenient to mention the young master's arrival, and he replied, "There are some clues." Uncle Wu said, "The disciple brought ten thousand gold for the teacher, and it is on the big boat behind. Send it to the mansion." Master An hurriedly said: "It's too much, too much, it's absolutely useless. Although you are a convenient family, besides, you and I have a friendship, but you are on a mission, so there is a lot of money ?”

Uncle Wu said: "This is not the intention of the disciple alone. Before I followed the teacher's letter, and before I saw the Beijing News, I followed the urgent letters of Guan Zijin and He Maizhou, and I knew that the teacher was not happy. The disciple immediately wrote letters to the fellow disciples who had received the kindness of the teacher, and sent them a number to teach them to do their best. Because the disciples were shortly away, and they couldn't send their own people to come, they told them to stop sending letters. , transfer the money to Beijing, and hand it over to the student’s home. When he was in a hurry, it happened that there was Fu Zhou, the current master of Hangzhou weaving, who was the brother-in-law of the student, and he had [-] silver from the student. After using his money, it will be returned by the disciple's home in Beijing. Half of the ten thousand gold will be used as the disciple's dedication, and the other half will be used as the collection of all the disciples. In the future, they will be remitted to the disciple and then withheld from the disciple. The same is true. At this time and In response to the teacher's urgent need. The teacher only needs to pay a reply letter when he receives their letter, and the matter is over."

Master An said: "If I'm not polite to you, your eldest brother also sent a few taels of silver, and another two or three thousand gold is enough. It's useless to have too many of these things. Besides, both the giver and the recipient should feel at ease. "Uncle Wu said: "Teacher, these disciples are now standing up to plants, and even leaning on their backs to save money, dress and eat. Don't they come from the master's school? Anyone should 'drink water and think about the source, and the tree thinks about the root'. The disciples are grateful The deepest thing is to make an initiative. For example, the elder brother respects his teacher Wan Jin. Could it be that the teacher agrees with him? Besides, there is a presumptuous joke among the students. I’m afraid I’ll have to prepare a few thousand silver in the future to pay for compensation!”

When Master An heard this, he laughed dumbly.Seeing that he had done it so well and said it so earnestly, it was hard to push back, so he said, "I said you are nothing, that's all. I also agree with you that you can't say 'but it's disrespectful', but it's 'you are ashamed of it." ' up".Uncle Nawu was humble again.After speaking, he winked at his family, and the family left early, even Dai Qin and others greeted him.Knowing each other, they all hid outside the courtyard gate, sat down, drank tea, smoked and chatted.

But he said that when the master of Dianshi saw the imperial envoy came to pay his respects to him, he didn't know how to compliment him.I hurriedly changed my gown, made a pot of tea, followed a yamen servant, and personally delivered it for the servants to drink, and also to inquire about the news by the way.Who would have thought that everyone would sit blocking the door and not be allowed to go in.While serving tea, he strikes up a conversation and wants to sit together.Dai Qin stood up first and said: "Master Hao, please ask Mr. Zhi. It's not easy for us to sit with you here; if we sit with you, the master will be angry if he knows it. There is tea here, so don't bother Mr. Hao." Looking at the situation, the historian expected that he couldn't get in, so he had to play around for a while, and gave the pot of tea to the bearer to drink.

But he said that Mr. an had something to say when he saw Mr. Wu dismissing people.He said in a low voice: "I am here not specifically for this matter. Now I am ordered to visit an official business here, and I have also visited some situations along the way. I dare not prove it, so I come to ask the teacher for instructions. The teacher must know for sure." "Master An hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?" Uncle Wu said: "hetai here was read by the censor, saying how he treats his subordinates to be respected as virtuous, and honesty is useless; acting for longevity, greedy for bribes Stolen goods; embezzlement of money and food, stealing and reducing labor materials; resulting in short-tempered officialdom, decadent customs, etc., are very involved. This matter has a lot to do with it. For the first time, some students have no idea, so they ask the teacher for advice."

When Master An heard this, he sank for a moment, and said, "Kezhai, since you regard me as an old horse who knows the way, I don't have a few words, I'm afraid you don't believe it." Because he said: "Not long after I arrived here, I went to Gaoyan, Pizhou to arrange two matters. I don't know the whereabouts of Hetai. As for my being enlisted, it was a matter of public service, and there was no restraint in it. Now that you have come here under orders , I think that the laws of the country must be adhered to, and the state system must not be disregarded; one must be careful in observing things, but one must be careful in one's intentions. What do you think, my dear brother?" Mr. Wu felt that Mr. An was infinitely oppressed by that Hetai. Naruto?Unexpectedly, he didn't have a single word of complaint, and he admired the teacher's knowledge and elegance even more.Said a few gossip, got up to say goodbye.Master an said: "I can't watch you go, and it's inconvenient to send someone to your mansion for a long talk some other day." As he said, he sent it to the gate of the courtyard without looking out.

But he said that the county magistrate of Shanyang County had received the letter and sent someone to inform Hetai early on, saying, "The imperial envoy is in the county to have a long talk with Mr. An." Hetai was surprised.Just when I was about to ask questions, I heard the sound of cannons at the front door. The imperial envoy had already arrived at the door, and quickly opened the warm pavilion to welcome them out.Seeing that the imperial envoy was still full of spring breeze, he said, "I just looked at my teacher, and I came a step late." He came in all the way and sat down.But he never talked about official business, the most important thing was asking about the Huai'an plaster shop?Is it true in the shop of Zhuli Ditan Wan?Hetai had no choice but to agree.Yin pretended to be confused and asked, "Which teacher did you say just now?" Master Wu said, "It's the Anling who was admitted." Hetai hurriedly said: "This Mr. An Shuixin is seasoned and sophisticated. He is the number one virtuous person here. Unfortunately, the official luck is normal, but he can meet such an unfortunate thing. Now we are all planning for him, and it is easy for everyone to do it. It has become a number, and we can ask for a reply in a few days. Master Wu said: "I don't dare to bother you. His elder brother has already changed his property from Beijing, and he can probably settle his business. Besides, my teacher is meticulous, so he may not dare to accept your trouble. "Hetai was disappointed after hearing this.The imperial envoy sat for a while, then took his leave and entered the mansion.

At that time, the official ship had arrived, and several accompanying officers also rushed over.Those local officials and imperial envoys are all invited to be together, and the public will see each other.The entertainment is over, take a little rest, eat something, and send out a corner of the document early, mentioning the civil and military patrols, gatekeepers and accountants of Hetai.As soon as he got it, he sealed the door and stayed up all night for interrogation according to the traces of the money that the speaker pointed out.It has always been said: "Human affection is like iron, and official law is like furnace." What's more, the accompanying officers are all shrewd and capable personnel who have tried cases for a long time.While the imperial envoy was writing, he still used name stickers to invite Hetai to come and speak.

After a while, Hetai arrived, and the imperial envoys still treated each other with courtesy.After letting him sit and delivering tea, he sent him the statement sent by the court and the censor, his patrol and servant's confession.When Hetai saw it, he just woke up like a dream, and he was so frightened that his face was as golden as paper, and he was dumbfounded.See also the words "If there is stolen money in the trial, the decree will be issued and dismissed, and all the governors of the Nanhe River will be temporarily appointed by Wu Ming'a".He read it in a hurry, took off his hat, knelt up and met his head, said his name and said: "The prisoner talked about Eryin, he was so confused, he failed the grace of God, but he asked for a heavy punishment and a fine to pay for it." A decree of "fine money to pay and help workers".It was only because the imperial court was well aware of the generosity of the governor, and the atmosphere at that time was simple, and the governor did not shy away from the name of richness. Whenever he was convicted of a crime, he would ask for a certain amount of money to help the workers and pay, and also to lighten the crime. That's why he did this. move.Get up and put on your hat.Wu Daren said: "My lord, please make a personal confession. Even if you admit that you have been fined, you must have a certain amount, so that it can be recorded in the confession." Na Tan Eryin said: "The prisoner intends to try his best to please one hundred thousand silver to the treasury." Master Wu said humanely: "My lord's kindness is willing to repay, so I don't want to say more; but the sacred will is very strict, and the case is serious, and the cases in recent years have a certain appearance. You have to make your own decisions and don't make mistakes." He promised two "yes" and went down to write a personal statement.

For a while, the Chinese army in the capital had already sent India over, and Mr. Wu paid homage to India to accept it.So he wrote a letter to Weishanyang County to serve Mr. Qianyinhetai. This Chinese is called "looks like it."It turns out that Hetai's surname is Tan, his name is Eryin, and his name is Yufu.Then some bitter people pointed to the names of the old and new river platforms and compiled a couplet, saying: "The moon is bright toward the sun, the sun and the moon are in the sky, and the sky has eyes; jade is inlaid with gold, and the jade and gold are full of ground without skin."
