Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2227 People are doing it, people are doing it

  The war in Youbei did not affect the lives of some people in the Han mainland.

It's like a soul-stirring ballad, the listeners are all moved to tears, but when the distance is far away, you can only see the singer's mouth opening and closing, but you can't hear what is being sung, or you can't even see the singer. Why is it so moving?

"I said, this batch of yours, haha, it won't work..." The middle-aged man in gray clothes shook his head, pointing to the lacquer box placed on the table, "...Look, it's all broken like this one deep...」

The Han Dynasty liked to use lacquer boxes, but not all the wooden boards of lacquer boxes were perfect. There must be some panels of lacquer boxes that were spliced ​​or repaired. is cracked.

   This is a problem of craftsmanship, but it is also a problem of people.

  But some people think it is not a problem.

  『This...doesn’t everyone have this? If you don't believe me, I'll find the Wang family for you, they have them too! I'm not the only one like this..." The boss in the blue clothes said with a smile, "Well, if you don't like the ones on the table, I'll change them for you... How about it? 』

  The one in the gray clothes rolled his eyes, "These are some random ones I dug up from your batch in the warehouse... You only changed these few, is that interesting?" This is what the court wants! 』

  『It’s true that the imperial court wants it, but isn’t it also divided? ’ The shopkeeper in the cyan clothes smiled and moved forward, ‘Don’t embarrass me, brother... You see, where the nobles use this, it’s all good, isn’t it? These...hehe, they look a little bit broken, but they can still be used normally...」

  『This shit, did you break it two years ago? It's been two years, and you haven't thought about changing it? "The gray-clothed man said dissatisfiedly, "Look at the Zhen family, the color, the lacquer surface, are like a mirror, how can you say it, the light can be used as a guide to others!" 』

  『This... can be changed, but it will cost money! Brother, my small business is not easy. Where can I get so much money to improve the craftsmanship? Besides, if these can't be sold, brother, where can I get the money to improve the craftsmanship? The shopkeeper said with a smile, "And you said it's just a wooden bean dish, what to eat with dishes on it, who cares whether the noodles are broken or not? It doesn’t affect the use, definitely not at all... Besides, I hate this bad thing, if you are rich, you can bring your own good ones to go...』

"That's what I said too, but someone has an opinion..." The gray-clothed lazily said, "Last time someone said it in front of Xun Lingjun, saying that the new dishes are all broken... It made me It's hard to do...」

  『Then...well, did that Xun Lingjun say something? The shopkeeper's expression changed, and he asked cautiously.

  The gray-clothed person glanced at the shopkeeper, "You are stupid, if you really said something, I wouldn't have come..."

"right! Yep! I still feel sorry for my brother! Brother is righteous! The shopkeeper praised with two thumbs up, "You said those guys have nothing to do when they are full, so why are they so excited?" Isn't it just that the top of the plate is broken? Whose plate will not break after a long time? Ok? Besides, I'm not all... that's right! aha! I figured it out! 』

  The shopkeeper was startled, and Hui Yi jumped, "What are you doing? It's so loud! 』

  『Brother, I thought of it! This will definitely make those meddlesome guys shut up! Can't even fart! 』The shopkeeper's face was full of excitement, and the flesh on his face was shaking non-stop.

"Oh? ”The one in the gray clothes blinked, “Let’s hear it?” 』

  『Just say that among our batch of goods, there are broken and chipped ones, all of which were done "intentionally"..." the shopkeeper said mysteriously.

"deliberately? Are you hysterical? ’ Gray Clothes raised one eyebrow and said dissatisfiedly, ‘Who will believe what you say? 』

   "Don't worry, brother, listen to me..." The shopkeeper smiled and didn't care about the ridicule of the gray clothes.

  Gui Yi let out a hey, "Okay, you say it, you say it!" 』

  『What I mean...Didn’t Cao Gong propose to be frugal before? The shopkeeper winked, "Xun Lingjun also said, be simple, don't be extravagant..."

  『Ah, it seems that there is such a thing. 』The one in gray clothes nodded.

"so! The shopkeeper slapped his hands and said excitedly, "Look, isn't this just right?" ! Those who have desires are "thrifty"! It is "simple"! It is to remind these small officials not to forget Cao Gong's admonition, and not to violate Xun Lingjun's teaching! 』

"what? ’ The one in gray clothes was stunned.

  『Brother, in order to make these petty officials realize this truth and put it into practice, you specially found such a batch of plates, which are broken without breaking, building up after breaking, advocating frugality and pursuing simplicity! How about it? ! The more the shopkeeper said, the more excited he became, "And those little officials who have opinions, can't realize that my brother is so hardworking, it's really elm, unreasonable!" 』

  『Hiss…』The gray-clothed man squeezed the beard on his chin, and fell silent.

  『In this way, what other opinions can they have? How dare they say anything in front of Xun Lingjun? 』The shopkeeper laughed, obviously very satisfied with his wisdom.

  The one in the gray clothes frowned, "You said it was done on purpose? Not a problem with the quality of the plate craftsmanship? 』

  『Absolutely not! The shopkeeper said firmly, "This is done on purpose, just to fit the common people and pursue simplicity!" And it was my brother who worked so hard to find me like this. I was unwilling to do it at first. It was my brother who specially made it for Cao Gong's order, specially made it! This is brand new! Special craftsmanship! Brand new custom workmanship! 』

  『Wait, what craft? 』Grey Clothes couldn't react for a while.

  『Ragged, uh no, worn out, no, old craft! ’ said the shopkeeper.

  『Broken...do, old craft? 』The one in the gray clothes seemed to be a little moved.

  The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said, "That's right! 』

  The one in the gray clothes swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Specially made? So to say…"

  The shopkeeper smiled openly, "Of course, it's a special one, at this price...ah, haha, hahaha, of course, the elder brother has the final say, the elder brother has the final say!" It’s enough for the younger brother to earn a little money to support the family, and it’s really just to support the family...Really, my brother knows, I’ve been honest since I was a child, I never lied to anyone, and I never told a lie in my life...』

  …(▽)/ヾ(^▽^ヾ)…

  『I really didn’t lie to you! "An impatient voice sounded, "Really, really, absolutely true!" What do you think I would do if I lied to you? Lie to you, I can't eat two more bowls of rice! 』

   Then he looked at the person on the other side who didn't believe it, so he said again, "Really! Take a look, I've written them all down, and I'll definitely report them all to you! No problem, remember, remember, never forget! 』

   This is a half-sized official house, with three big characters hanging high outside the house, "Zhi Yin Fang".

  The clerk in the room waited for the person who had just arrived to leave before exhaling, "Hi! What is this called! 』

"What's up? Breaking things! ’Another clerk in the room replied casually.

  『Isn’t it? "Little official A said, "I don't even have a name, so what's the use of telling me?" You still have to ask me to write it down, what's the use of writing it down? 』

  『Isn’t it? ’Little official B also sighed, ‘We just make a living, do you really think we can take care of things? Don't talk to people who can really manage things, talk to us vigorously, are these people stupid? 』

  『Are more and more people coming? Can't you live in peace for a few days? The little official A sighed, then pointed to the record on the table and said, "What should I do about this?" Still using a knife to cut it, my knife is blunt...』

  Little official Yi said nonchalantly, "What else can I do? Cut it off as usual, and you can write again after cutting it. Do you still want to burn it?" What a waste... Then what, use my knife later, I just sharpened it yesterday, so that... uh, someone is here...』

  The newcomer stood at the door, staring at the little official in the room.

  『Excuse me…』Little official A put on a habitual smile,『Your name? 』

  The visitor bowed his hands, "Under the tent of Xia Nai, the capital of the Western Regions, Sima, the forward of the left army, Gao Wutong!" 』

  『Oh, oh, I’ve met Gao Sima...』 Little Official Yi greeted, 『Gao Sima, please come in, please sit down, ah, I’m really sorry, this place is shabby, the hospitality is not good, please forgive me...』

  『Yes, Sima Gao, please forgive me...This, why don’t you drink some water first, Sima Gao? 』Little official A pretended to push the water bowl and pitcher that were at his hand a little bit forward.

   There wasn't much water in the small pitcher, and Gao Wutong drank it up in two or three gulps.

  Little official A subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling that his throat was a little dry, and secretly regretted why he didn't take two more sips just now...

  『Cough cough...』Little official B coughed twice, and drew Gao Wutong's attention, "I don't know what happened to Gao Sima today? 』

"correct! Gao Wutong said very seriously, "Lieutenant Chang of the Zuojun Rear Battalion, deducted 30% of my subordinate's salary for no reason!" Last year it was said that it would be reissued this year, but I went this year, and it turned out that it was gone! 』

   "It's this time again..." the little official A muttered.

"What did you say? ’ Gao Wutong asked.

  Little official A hurriedly said with a smile, "Nothing, nothing, I mean...sometimes the calculation may be wrong, and this will happen..."

   Gao Wutong nodded and said: "I thought so before, so after I went back, I reported the number and accounts of our army. 』

  『Well, what then? ’ Little official B asked.

  Gao Wutong patted his leg, "It turned out that I didn't see it!" I asked them to look for it, but they said they couldn't find it! 』

"Uh, this... this back camp is complicated, maybe I couldn't find it..." Xiao Liyi said, "Then Gao Sima, you should go to the captain of the back camp... If not, you can go to General Wei, he is the chief officer... 』

  『I looked for it too,』 Gao Wutong said, 『I didn’t find it! 』

  『What... What do you mean not found? ’ the little official A asked.

  『Just not in the back camp. "Gao Wutong said, "I asked his subordinates, but his subordinates didn't know where he was. Then I asked the people in the back camp what to do with this matter? They said they'd ask you to do it..."

  『This...may be a bit of a misunderstanding...』Little official Yi smiled awkwardly and said, 『The two of us are new here too, really, I will never lie to you...』

"It's true, it's absolutely true..." Little Official A also said with a wry smile, "Gao Sima, you don't know, we've only been here for a short time, and we can only live in this small room, even drinking You have to fetch the water by yourself...」

"Uh? ”Gao Wutong arched his hands, “This, I’m sorry, I just drank all your water…”

  『No no, that’s not what I meant,’ Xiao Li A waved his hand and said, 『I really didn’t mean that, I mean, we can’t help either...This matter, I really can’t help...』

   Gao Wutong frowned and asked, "Then why do the people in the back camp say they want you to do it?" 』

  Little official Yi shook his head and sighed, "It's not just those in the back camp, but now they come to us for everything from anywhere..."

"why? ’ Gao Wutong asked.

Little official A was in pain, beating his chest and stamping his feet, "I don't know that damned person, who said that we can go straight up and down, and tell the heavens to listen, so we can take care of big and small things... Tell me, Gao Sima, if we really have this ability, we will Will you still stay in this small house? We really can't control it, really, really, I won't lie to you...』

  『…』Gao Wutong didn't know what to say for a moment.

  Little Official A and Little Official B held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, feeling extremely wronged. We didn't eat other people's rice, and we even had to fetch water for our own drinking. As a result, we had to suffer so many grievances every day, and there were so many things to do, and we were scolded from time to time. These days, there is really no way live...

  『Cough…』 Gao Wutong broke the silence, 『So what can you do? 』

"what? us? This..." Lieutenant A blinked his eyes twice, "The most we can do is remember it? 』

  Gao Wutong nodded and said: "Then write it down!" Really remember! 』

"what? ha? 』Little official A didn't understand.

  『I saw it just now, what are you pretending to write on the wooden tablets that are already full? 』Gao Wutong twisted his neck to the side, pointing to the wooden tablet on the desk of the clerk.

  「Uh…」Little official A grinned,「This…」

  『I don’t blame you for what you can’t control, but why don’t you do well what you can do? "Gao Wutong said, "Forget it, I know...Anyway, I also said this matter, you can figure it out...I'm leaving! 』

  Gao Wutong stood up very simply, touched his hands as a salute, and then left.

  『Ahhh...』Little official B frowned, looked at Gao Wutong's disappearing figure, then turned to ask little official A, "You said... what are we going to do about this matter? 』

  …(*T_T*)#(*T_T*)…

  『What should we do? What do you say? What can be done? ’ A scribe flicked his sleeves, ‘Coax him away! Really, you can't even handle such a trivial matter, so what do you need? ah? ! 』

   "If you dare to ask Dali Temple, then this case..." a small official asked cautiously, "How should we deal with it?" 』

  『I still ask how to deal with it? ’ Dali Si was blowing his beard, ‘I don’t even need to ask! ? gone! This belongs to Xiahou's family! How many heads do you have? ah? 』

  The little official left with his head in his arms.

   Dali Temple turned to his colleagues and said with a smile: "This Xiahou's family has really weird habits. How old is this?" Tsk! Why! It’s really young and ignorant, and I don’t know how to cover it up...It’s not easy for us to be accused again and again...』

  『Exactly, exactly. ”The other person said with a smile, “However, at this time of beautiful mountains and rivers, being in the wild...hehehehe, it must have a different flavor...”

"Oh? real? 』

  『Hey, haha...』

A few people were laughing and discussing where the most comfortable place is, just now the little official moved back after a long time, "Report...Report to Dali Temple, this, this wronged person is not willing to go...」

"what? ! Could it be the other way around? ! Dali Sizheng slapped the table and stood up, "You bastard! This little thing can't be done well! Lead the way! I'd like to see, what kind of killer is he, who doesn't listen to good words! 』

Just as Dali Temple walked into the side hall, it saw a person with a sad face about to rush forward, and hurriedly shouted to let the yamen servant and the others hold the sufferer, and then stood firm and stepped back Leg, asked very seriously: "Are you going to sue General Xiahou's third son for suffering?" Why are you going to sue the third son of General Xiahou? 』

  The sufferer wailed loudly, "Yes! I want to sue the third son of Xiahou! Xiahou, he... my wife, who was out of the city... was actually taken by this little bastard...』

"Shut up! Evil words! ”Dali Temple is serious and serious, “Dali Temple, how can you roar at the court at will! Come on, slap your mouth twenty first! 』

   As soon as the order was given, a yamen servant immediately stepped forward and held the sufferer down, and slapped twenty big mouths viciously.

  『Well...remember, don't speak evil words...tell me again...what's the matter? 』Dali Temple is slowly stroking his beard.

  『%%@#@…』

  How could the sufferer, whose cheeks were swollen and his skin was torn apart, speak clearly?

  『Ah, I can’t hear what you said... Well, you go back first, and come back when you can speak clearly...』 Dali Temple said with a smile.

  The sufferer shook his head frantically, insisting on not leaving.

  Dali Temple was slowly changing its face, snatched the petition written by the small official at the side, glanced up and down, "I said...you said your wife is pure and kind, so why run out of the city if you have nothing to do?" Ok? Oh, visiting friends. Would a girl from a good family go to visit friends casually? Ok? Well, even if it is a visit to friends, then what do you want to do by wandering outside the city without returning home immediately after visiting friends? Ok? He was still wearing red and green, did he hear something that he intended to seduce the third son of General Xiahou? After negotiating peace, if you are not satisfied with asking for money, you want to assassinate the third son of General Xiahou! The hairpin is the murder weapon! This person's evidence is complete, how dare you turn black and white and frame the third son of General Xiahou? ! 』

  『Originally, I thought you were a first-time offender and intended to reduce the crime, but you didn’t know what to do and insisted on making a false accusation! It's really unreasonable! ’ Dali Temple was tearing up the petition, “Come on! Twenty heavy responsibilities, and then go out with someone! Use it as an example! 』

  The yamen servant shouted loudly, then came up and pressed the sufferer to the ground, and executed him immediately.

"Humph! 』Dali Sizheng glanced sideways, then ignored it, flicked his sleeves and wobbled back.

"How about it? ’ the colleague asked, ‘Is it done? 』

  『Of course it’s done! Dali Sizheng said proudly, "I think back then when I was keying...uh, I worked diligently on the copywriting, how could I not be able to handle such trivial matters?" 』

"awesome! 』

"Hahaha…"

While laughing and chatting, suddenly a servant was sweating profusely, staggered in with blood and mud, and threw himself at the very foot of Dali Temple, "No...it's not good...the mistress is away...going out for an outing...meet...meet in the forest Xia, Hou Xia...』

   Dali Sizheng's smile froze on his face, and suddenly he felt that his eyes were darkened, and he fell backwards!
