Chapter 584 Oral Order
"Brother, are you thinking too much?"
When Pei Chenghe said this, Feng Maocai paused and looked sad, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but for some reason, I can't help but think about these things, and I feel very unsure of myself."
He has been following Pei Chenghe for many years. During this period, although the two of them often disagreed, their goals were very similar. Their daily differences were just different styles of work and cognitive opinions.
It can be said that they know each other's intentions and are familiar with each other's way of doing things. It can even be said that they work together to keep the entire Jinqiu County in order.
At this time, Pei Chenghe was transferred, and suddenly someone came who he was not familiar with. He was a little worried about the other person's character and thoughts.
Next, if Lord Fan is related to the Fan family, there is no guarantee that it will be involved in a court dispute. Many times, in power struggles between big families, there will always be sacrifices. If the sacrifice is the interests of the people...
Feng Maocai had a headache and felt more uneasy.
"Look at this tree, all the leaves have fallen off." Pei Chenghe said suddenly.
Feng Maocai looked up and saw that most of the trees on both sides of the street had withered leaves. Even if there were a few that persisted in hanging on the branches, they were swaying under the cold wind.
"Yes, winter is coming." Feng Maocai sighed.
"You said, do the leaves know that in winter, they will wither and fall?" Pei Chenghe said, "If it knows, is it because it doesn't sprout and grow at all in spring, or is it because it is worried about the coming of winter in summer? Are you simply worried all day long and let the original green turn into yellow soon? ”
"This..." Feng Maocai was speechless.
"Brother." Pei Chenghe patted Feng Maocai on the shoulder again, "We haven't even had any contact yet, and you have so many doubts in your mind. How can you do things well in the future?"
"Leaving aside the fact that worrying about uncertain things in advance is a stupid thing to do. Even if the things you worry about will appear in the future, it will not prevent you from doing your part now."
"Then again, I can be transferred and promoted, which is enough to show that the emperor and the officials also see clearly and will not randomly send people with evil intentions."
"What's more, Mr. Fan has been studying in Jinqiu County for many years. If you don't believe it, are you questioning the teaching ability of the county school's headmaster Zhou Shan and several teachers?"
It only takes a moment for a layer of window paper to be punctured.
Feng Maocai was suddenly enlightened and couldn't help but raise his hands to Pei Chenghe, "It's true what you said, I'm the one who got into trouble."
"It's not too late to figure it out now." Pei Chenghe chuckled. "I just figured it out for you. Isn't it considered a credit? Shouldn't you also be grateful and express your gratitude?"< br>
"My lord, what you mean is..."
Do you want him to buy you a drink?
No problem!
After getting drunk, it can be regarded as a farewell for him!
"Why don't you share some of your egg yolk with me? Your teeth are not very good anyway, so you probably can't chew them..."
Feng Maocai, "..."
"No!" Feng Maocai glared at Pei Chenghe fiercely.
"You have bad teeth. If you eat this, your tooth will hurt. If you keep it, it's a waste." "I crushed it into pieces with a rolling pin and washed it with boiling water!"
"What a waste!"
"That won't give the bad guys any advantage."
"Nonsense, I am a good official praised by everyone."
"Slightly, slightly..."
The two of them walked to the county government office together, crushing the yellow and dry fallen leaves floating on the ground, and crushing the afterglow of the sunset all over the ground.
Here, Fan Pingyang was left alone and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Master Fan, do you want to tell me something alone?" Xia Mingyue said with a smile.
"As expected of Madam Xia, your guess is extremely accurate." Fan Pingyang laughed, "To be honest with Madam Xia, the first thing that happened was when I came to take office, Fan Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue came to me specifically and said that his little Sister Fan is currently in Jinqiu County and asked me to take care of her.”
"I thought that although I should help, Mrs. Fan is a woman after all. As a man, it is often inconvenient for me, and Mrs. Fan is close to Mrs. Xia, so I have to trouble Mrs. Xia to help more. If necessary, Please tell me in time so that I can fulfill my promise to Fan Shangshu.”
"As for the second thing, I didn't have a long experience in the Hanlin Academy, so I was sent to Jinqiu County as an official. This happened only because the emperor appointed me. And on the eve of my appointment, the emperor specially sent someone to accompany me. My father-in-law came to send a message, saying that after I arrived in Jinqiu County, he asked me to tell Mrs. Xia something.”
Your Majesty, would you like Fan Pingyang to tell her something?
Xia Mingyue was astonished, but her face was full of respect, "I wonder what the emperor wants to tell me?"
"The emperor said that he had long heard that Lady Xia was a superb cook and the various kinds of food she made were unforgettable, so he wanted to get a taste of the same food from Lady Xia."
Fan Pingyang relayed the exact words of the father-in-law, and then said, "When I first heard this, I was quite frightened. Although the emperor just wanted some food, considering Lady Xia's cooking skills, the food she made must be It will amaze the emperor, but it will be amazing. Whether he is satisfied or not is another matter.”
"Therefore, at that time, I asked the father-in-law who had sent the message to see if the emperor had a preferred taste or an intention to eat. In this way, Lady Xia would be able to have an idea of where to put her efforts."
< br>
"In the end, no matter how I tried to make insinuations, the father-in-law's answer was watertight. He only said that Madam Xia was good at cooking and that the emperor would like her no matter what she did. I had no choice but to play the bitter card and said Madam Xia is not a member of the officialdom, and I am afraid she does not understand this. If she causes unnecessary trouble, it will not be good at that time. "
"My father-in-law was relieved in the end. He only said that Madam Xia is virtuous and virtuous, and is a model for women in the world. She also has breasts, so she can probably guess what kind of food the emperor wants to eat."
"Although there is something in this sentence, no matter how much I think about it, I can't figure out the meaning. It seems that Madam Xia needs to think about it carefully."
"I really couldn't help Madam Xia in this matter. I'm really ashamed..."
Fan Pingyang's face was full of shame, and he even saluted Xia Mingyue.
When he was in the Hanlin Academy, he always revealed his lofty ambitions in words and expressions, so that he could be decentralized as an official as soon as possible and do practical things for the people.
And now that he can be transferred to an official position, and the place is Jinqiu County, which he is quite familiar with, he is satisfied. However, the expected appointment and the reminiscence of old friends are actually mixed with a surprising twist. Such a difficult oracle.
This oral instruction had a wide range of implications, and the outcome was unpredictable, which made his heart even more heavy.
