When Man Bao lazily came out of the shower, Wu Yue had already changed the sheets and quilt covers, Bai Shan leaned on the bed and yawned, and when he saw her come out, he gave her a seat.
Zhou Man was already a little refreshed after taking a bath, but seeing him yawning, she couldn't help but yawn. She climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt over, lay down and closed her eyes.
Bai Shan pulled back the quilt a little and pushed her, "I still want to talk to you."
Zhou Man yawned and asked, "Say what?"
Before Cui Yuan left, he handed me an article. I read it and thought it was not bad.
Zhou Man reluctantly opened his eyelids to look at him, "Don't you want staff?"
Bai Shan said: "But there are indeed many affairs in a county, and some trivial matters are not convenient for the county magistrate to do.
Zhou Man nodded after thinking about it. Her medical office is small, and sometimes she feels that some things are very trivial and boring.
"Then please!"
"You deserve to be refreshed. I want to investigate further."
After all, the staff is no better than others, and they will be his confidants in the future, and they will probably follow him all the time. Therefore, character and virtue are especially important, and it is best to have the same goal as yourself.
Zhou Man was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, and her eyelids drooped again. She said, "Use it first, and investigate slowly. It's the same as the fourth brother hiring a buddy. First, he will go on the business route twice. Once you get acquainted, you will know what a person is." How is the ability?"
Bai Shan thought about it too.
As soon as the matter in his mind was resolved, Bai Shan felt drowsy too. He blew out the lamp, then lay down and hugged Zhou Man, and fell asleep as soon as he tilted his head.
Although tired, but when the time came the next day, they woke up without being called.
They just woke up and didn't want to get up, the two of them just lay on the bed with their eyes open and talked.
Zhou Man counted the time and said: "I still have to go to Yamen for one day today, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I will have a rest tomorrow, that's great!"
Bai Shan: ...
Zhou Man turned to look at him, "Will your county government let him go?"
"This time the bandit case was a big deal, and people from other states and counties came to watch the excitement, so I decided to only release it for the day after the Dragon Boat Festival, and the rest of the time will be promoted normally."
Zhou Man sympathized with him, "You have to make up a lot of money for the officials, right?"
Bai Shan let out a "hmm", and they need to be rewarded for working overtime on holidays, of course, it's okay if they don't pay them, and they won't resign because of this, right
However, Bai Shan felt that since they worked hard and lost the opportunity to have fun with their families, they should get some compensation.
He is very confident, "The county government will have money."
Because the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, the governor's mansion also sent an official document. He wanted to hold a banquet in the afternoon of the Dragon Boat Festival, and invited the magistrates of all counties to attend.
Some remote county magistrates received official documents two days earlier, and some had already set off for Qingzhou City today.
Although Beihai County was poor, the county seat was not very far from Qingzhou City, so he only received the official document today, and he could go to Qingzhou City on the same day.
Bai Shan made the same arrangement. Not only did he go there on the same day, but he also planned to attend some activities in the county town before going.
He said to the county magistrate: "It just so happens that so many scribes from other places come to our Beihai County, this Dragon Boat Festival event must be well organized."
Fang Xiancheng asked hesitantly: "What do you want to do?"
"Is there a Nuo opera in the county?"
Fang Xiancheng touched his nose and said: "There are some folk actors who can sing and dance, but there are not many."
He smiled awkwardly, "It doesn't seem like your lord is from such a big place as the capital, I'm afraid you won't like their little tricks."
Bai Shan said indifferently: "Let's have fun with the people, go and invite them here, and I'll see them when I finish the trial at noon."
Fang Xiancheng had no choice but to send people out to call the people who occasionally danced in the Nuo opera to the county government.
So at noon, Bai Shan saw a dozen young or old, and only two young and strong Nuo opera troupes.
And those two young and strong were as thin as bamboo poles, leaning against the wall with a carefree look.
Bai Shan was startled.
He has grown up so much and has seen many Nuo operas, but this is the first time he has seen such a Nuo opera performer.
Bai Shan looked them up and down, hesitated for a moment and asked, "What kind of music do you usually dance to?"
"'Meng Jiangnu', and 'Catching the Yellow Ghost'."
Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief, these two pieces are often performed, it's okay, it's okay, he said with a smile: "Then you guys come and play "Meng Jiangnu"."
A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd as soon as he heard it, and when he lowered his head and looked up again, he looked at Bai Shan with a bitter expression, squeezed his throat, and shouted sadly at Bai Shan: "Fan Lang—"
Standing behind Bai Shan, Daji couldn't hold back for a moment, burst out laughing, then lowered his head and tried hard to hold back the laugh, almost bursting into tears.
Bai Shan facing the actors: …
Fangxian Cheng trembled and looked at Bai Shan inexplicably, he just said no, right
Bai Shan walked out of the small living room in a trance, and came back to the main courtyard. He said to the county magistrate: "Let them play "Catching the Yellow Ghost". Is it not difficult to act?"
Fang Xiancheng: "My lord, they just said that the rural areas like to hear them sing "Meng Jiangnu" the most, so they are more familiar with "Meng Jiangnu"."
That's really fucked up.
Bai Shan rubbed his forehead and said: "There is still a day and a half to go, "Catching the Yellow Ghost" is not difficult, they can practice it now, don't worry, their wages will not be lost, and the rewards from the common people and it is all theirs."
Fang Xiancheng immediately asked: "My lord, is there just one play?"
Bai Shan asked sadly: "Can they perform other plays?"
Fang Xiancheng was silent, and then said: "But one is not enough."
"What's the big deal? The main street in Beihai County is just this long. Let them perform it all the way, back and forth." Bai Shan rubbed his forehead, "By the way, get some glutinous rice from the grain storage. Make some small zongzi and distribute some to the people along the way in the future, it is right to have fun with the people."
How to do it, he gave full authority to Fang Xiancheng.
The county magistrate Fang agreed.
Beihai County is not big, and there are not many people in the county seat. They don't need to prepare a lot. They can prepare in one day, which is not difficult for them.
At this time, Zhou Man was also discussing with Wen Tiandong, "Let's make some medicine packs and put them in front of the medical office for people to pick them up. After taking them back, they can be made into sachets, which can repel filth and insects."
Wen Tiandong had no objection at all, and immediately took some medicinal materials from the pharmacy, which were sun-dried mugwort leaves, atractylodes rhizome, kaempferen, angelica dahurica, vanilla, etc., and a large bag of realgar.
Zhou Man asked people to move the table and chairs to the door of the medical office, and then asked them to cut the paper, while she and Wen Tiandong sat on one side of the table and began to pack the medicinal materials.
One or two kinds of medicinal materials can be packed in a paper bag. It doesn’t need a lot. A paper bag the size of a palm is fine. Someone passing by the medical office saw it and asked about it. Hearing that it’s free, he immediately said: "My lord, give me ten, my family has a lot of people."
Zhou Man only gave her one, and said with a smile: "Then they have to get it themselves, I can only get one per person here."
