Fang Fengsheng thought that Fan Jinchuan would slump for a few days, but he would cheer up the next day.
He can't help but cheer up. The new official is busy with business. In addition to being interviewed by everyone in the county government, he also has to meet with local officials, gentry, elders, teachers, students, etc., and also has to check the local fish scale map Books and household registration books, to understand the distribution of villages, mountains, rivers, fields, customs and customs, etc.
Fan Jinchuan was not idle, and Fang Fengsheng was not idle either. She had to experience what Fan Jinchuan had experienced once, so that she could know the whole Taizhou well.
After all this work, it is already August 14th, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In order to show favor to his subordinates, Fan Jinchuan decided to hold a moon-appreciating banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all the officials in the county government who were registered in the register were invited.
The banquet was held in the county government office, the bright moon was in the sky, the night breeze was cool, and it was a beautiful scenery.
There is wine and food, and they are all colleagues in the weekdays. The county elders are approachable, so everyone is very relaxed. During the banquet, cups and cups were intertwined, laughing and playing, even Liu Xiancheng had to admit that Mr. Xin had good means, and in less than a month, he gathered the people below into obedience.
No, it was Master Fang's good tricks.
Liu Xiancheng held the wine glass and looked at Fang Fengsheng who was sitting not far away.
Seeing her in a green shirt, she looked at the banquet with a smile, and the paper fan shook slightly. If someone drinks with her, they will always come and talk and laugh happily, without any pretensions.
Feeling depressed, Liu Xiancheng poured the wine in the glass into his mouth in one gulp.
What are you fighting for
In this dilapidated place, the dilapidated county government office, there is no oil or water, and there are still many things. I am splinted every day, whoever has the ability will take care of it!
"Come, Master Wang, I respect you!"
Master Wang looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said, "Thinking about it?"
"There's nothing you want or don't want to drink, if you have wine, just drink it!"
The two looked at each other with a smile, and drank all the wine in the cup.
Just when everyone was drunk, Fang Fengsheng left the table instead.
Fan Jinchuan left the table on the pretext of going to the toilet to find her, and saw her walking slowly in the courtyard, thoughtful.
"What is my brother thinking? My brother taught me to hold a banquet to be kind to my subordinates, but you ran away."
"It's nothing, I'm thinking that at this time, the rural examination should be over."
The township examination is in August, and the examination time is usually before the sixth day of the junior high school, and it varies from place to place, but on August 15th, the examination should be over anyway.
"Why did my brother suddenly bring up this matter?" Immediately, Fan Jinchuan realized: "It's all because of my brother, so I took the initiative to bring up this sad thing about my brother. However, my brother don't need to be discouraged. Although I missed this time, the next time will not be so bad." Will win the Guibang."
Feng Sheng laughed, knowing that he had misunderstood, but she was not in the mood to explain.
"Let's go and drink."
By the time the drink was finished, it was already midnight.
Feng Sheng returned to the room, Zhichun and Zhiqiu had prepared hot water.
After taking a bath and washing her hair, Feng Sheng felt a little more comfortable. She only wore pajamas and covered her hair with black hair. She sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed and asked Zhichun to brush her hair.
Zhiqiu came in with hangover soup: "Master, drink some soup to warm your stomach. It's not that the maid said that you are not in good health, and you always drink alcohol to hurt your stomach. Your breakfast is not delicious these days, it's because of drinking."
"I won't drink after a while." Feng Sheng said.
Zhiqiu took a look at her: "You just said it, but never remembered it."
Zhiqiu is really right, Feng Sheng has always had a good temper, especially for the two little maidservants, she loves her very much. Usually, the two of them treat her as no big or young, she never says anything, they are all good and good, but unfortunately they never remember.
However, we can't blame Feng Sheng for not caring about his body. Fan Jinchuan is a dull person, and now he is able to gather the people below because of her approachability.
What is approachable
That is, you can talk about love and poetry, drink in a big bowl, and scold your mother loudly.
After all, the county government is mixed with dragons and snakes. People like Liu Xiancheng can talk about elegance, and the government officials and clerks in the third class and six rooms below can only do what they like.
"Master, you should eat more, you're too thin."
"Am I eating less?"
"It just doesn't grow meat."
"Okay, you little man, I'll rely on the young master to pamper you, right? I don't know when I will be able to do this hair. I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
Feng Sheng lay down on Luohan's bed, but Zhiqiu held her back to prevent her from lying down.
"Can't sleep, be careful of catching a cold. Young master, wait a little longer, it's hot, and your hair will dry soon. Sister Zhichun, hurry up and talk to young master, don't let her sleep."
"What are you talking about? By the way, it's already halfway through August, the Fourth Young Master should have finished his exams, right?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhiqiu came over with a sharp look. Zhichun took a careful look at Feng Sheng, and was relieved to see her calm expression.
"What can't be said? The girl doesn't care, but the fourth young master will find out when he goes back. I'm afraid..."
Zhiqiu pulled Zhichun hard and pulled her out of the room.
The two tugged to go to the ear room, Zhiqiu bolted the door.
"What are you talking about when you're a girl?"
"I just slipped up for a moment."
"I don't think you slipped your tongue at the moment, you are thinking about the fourth young master, or no one will remember, but you remember that the fourth young master finished the exam?"
Zhichun blushed, "What are you talking about!"
Zhiqiu squinted at her: "What are you talking about? Even if I haven't been around the girl for the past two years, I still know what you're thinking. It's fine if you talk about it in front of me in private, and you can say it in front of the girl. Instead of doing this, Don't go with us back then, stay at the Sun's house and wait for your Fourth Young Master."
"Qiu'er, you..."
Zhichun cried.
After crying for a while, she murmured: "I just can't figure it out. You said that the fourth young master is such a good person, how can the girl just leave without saying hello."
"There are so many things you can't figure out in this world. Do you think that girls are like you, who can't move when they see a man?"
"The fourth young master is so kind to the girl. Every time he comes back from the outside and goes to the old lady's place, the first thing he does is to ask Qiutang if he has any good books and paintings, and give them to the girl to appreciate. Stay. You said that the girl left without saying a word, and the fourth young master must be sad... "
Outside the door, Feng Sheng with long hair was standing quietly.
She was afraid that the two girls would quarrel, but she didn't expect to hear these words.
"...Let me tell you, you should give up as soon as possible. What was the situation when the girl married into the Sun family? The girl had a grudge and was in no mood to love. Now that the master is gone, the girl is even more impossible. Our girl's personality is so different. Don't understand? Once you've made a decision, you will never look back. If you are really reluctant to part with Fourth Young Master, you can go back by yourself... "
"I'm not reluctant to part with the fourth young master, I just..."
"Anyway, let me tell you, let me hear you mention this in front of a girl next time, and I will turn against you!"
Zhiqiu angrily pushed the door out, just in time to meet Feng Sheng who was standing outside.
"girl!"
"I see that you haven't come back. I was afraid that you would quarrel, so I came to take a look. What's wrong with Zhichun, why are you crying?" Feng Sheng looked into the door, pretending nothing happened.
"Girl, ignore her, she won't talk and I'll scold her, of course she's crying!"
Zhiqiu pulls Feng Sheng back, and Feng Sheng follows her.
…
Zhiqiu first served Feng Sheng on the couch, then turned to make the floor.
"Qiu'er, come up and sleep with me."
"Girl, my mattress is all made."
"It's laid out and left there."
Zhiqiu took off her clothes, climbed onto the bed, spread out the quilt, and slept on the outside.
Seeing that Feng Sheng kept her eyes open, she whispered: "Girl, don't be angry with Zhichun, she's just a little girl, and she has never seen a handsome man."
"Speak as if you've seen a lot."
"My maidservant has indeed seen a lot. Miss, you forgot that this maidservant grew up in a brothel when I was a child, and you saved me from it. Actually, there are not many good men in this world. They are all greedy and lustful. One thing, another thing in front of my wife when I go home, it looks innocent and harmless, but in fact it's all fake."
Feng Sheng was amused.
Zhiqiu glanced at her: "Girl, do you think of the Fourth Young Master?"
Feng Sheng sighed: "No, don't you all say that I'm not in the mood for love? Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."
After Fan Jinchuan finished studying the Fish Scale Atlas, he went to the countryside to investigate people's conditions on the spot.
He visited every town and every village, and of course he also went to the salt field, but he couldn't see what was inside.
Soon it will be time to harvest the autumn grain, and this time is also the time when the whole county is most vigilant.
Autumn is dry and things are dry, and it is most likely to run out of water. If the field catches fire, the loss is a season of rations. But what I am most afraid of is what will happen, but within a few days, the subordinates have reported fires in two farmlands.
The grains that were close to maturity were lost in the fire, and the farmers cried and cried, saying that God was going to cut off their way of life.
Fan Jinchuan has been up for two days and three nights, his eyes are full of red blood, but he can't do anything, the county government has limited manpower, left and right are stretched.
Fang Fengsheng dragged him back to rest, but he didn't want to. Feng Sheng could only tell him that the matter would be resolved when he woke up from sleep.
Now in Fan Jinchuan's mind, brother Fang Xian is omnipotent, but he doubts how to solve this situation. No matter how pedantic he is, after these days of understanding, he also knows that the fire was not accidental, because he had told the local Lizheng a long time ago that farmers must be careful about fire prevention.
Even specific to all aspects, patrols according to shifts and points must not be ignored for a moment.
So fire is man-made.
for what? Fang Fengsheng had told him before that when autumn was busy, there would inevitably be unscrupulous big households who fished in troubled waters and lost a season of grain. How did farmers live, and they had to pay taxes for the year, so they could only sell their houses and fields.
The rich and powerful invaded the farmer's fields with various means, but on the bright side, they would never let you catch their hands and feet. When the time comes, the peasants will come to the door and lower the price. If they get the land, they will be known as great benevolent people.
"Okay, you go to rest now, I say it can be solved if it can be solved!"
"After the autumn harvest is over, I will have people start clearing the entire county's land."
It was Qing Zhang who caused this incident!
Feng Sheng sighed inwardly, but did not speak clearly.
…
Sun Wencheng walked out of Xiwu Hall, staggering.
"Fourth young master, why don't I send you back with my maidservant?"
"Need not."
Zhou's mother sighed, looking worriedly at his lonely back going away.
Sun Wencheng's brain was in a mess, and the joy of winning the honor list was completely gone. He didn't go directly to the capital to go to Chunwei in February of the following year, just to tell her the good news himself.
He knew that she was not happy here, and he wanted to take her out of here when he became a Jinshi. When the time comes, he will either stay in Beijing or be released, and she will be a filial piety again, and she will always live happily, but she never expected...
It was only a few months since no one lived there, and the Wenqiu Hall was bleak and empty.
Sun Wencheng pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, but was momentarily hesitant to enter the house.
He wandered around the yard blankly, but still didn't dare to go in. As soon as he turned around, he saw the figure of a woman standing not far away.
"Feng Sheng!" He stepped forward excitedly.
"Fourth brother, it's me."
It is Sun Ruhua.
"Why are you here?" Sun Wencheng withdrew his outstretched hand and held it tightly under his sleeve.
"I suddenly remembered my fourth sister-in-law, so I came to take a look. Before she left, I borrowed a book from her, but now I have nowhere to return it."
Sun Wencheng looked over and found that this book was exactly what he had given Feng Sheng back then.
"give it to me."
Sun Ruhua handed the book to Sun Wencheng, seemingly hesitating to speak.
"Is there anything else?"
"Fourth brother, don't be sad, maybe the fourth sister-in-law is not without you in her heart, and she has something hard to say when she leaves?"
"what do you know?"
Sun Ruhua's eyes trembled, and he said in a panic, "I don't know anything. Fourth brother, I'm leaving first."
"What the hell do you know?!" Sun Wencheng grabbed her hand. He has always been gentle, and his behavior like this is enough to prove that he is not at peace.
"Fourth brother, I really don't know what? I, I..." Sun Ruhua was frightened and cried twice, she asked: "Fourth brother, what did the old lady tell you? Why did the fourth sister-in-law leave? ?”
The old lady said that Fang Fengsheng clings to the powerful and powerful, and has an affair with the third prince. This matter was too ugly, and the Sun family couldn't afford to offend the prince, so they could only keep silent. To the outside world, it is said that Feng Sheng is suffering from a serious illness, but she has been recuperating for many years but has not been well. For the sake of the descendants of the Sun family, she is dismissed and returned home.
He also told him, don't tell anyone about this matter, don't ask anyone, keep it in your heart, hide it for a lifetime, the prince is a noble man, if the Sun family provokes him, catastrophe will happen immediately, and the whole family will be lost.
