Chapter 96 1 Voice Dad
The magistrate was straightforward this time, pressed his forehead, and said: "If you have any special skills, let's talk about it."
The class leader hurriedly reported several well-known plays, and deliberately avoided plays about poor scholars and rich daughters.
The county magistrate shook his head after hearing this: "I've heard of it all. Everyone who is doing it, if you have any favorite jokes to talk about, it can be regarded as helping the official staff."
The county magistrate spoke, and suddenly one after another voices resounded in the hall.Some smart people picked out a scene to praise honest and honest officials, such as the Bao Gong case, Di Gong case, and Hai Gong case.It is all officials who punish evil and promote good for the people.
The magistrate of the county listened to it for a while, but he didn't meet anyone who was satisfied.At this time, a delicate voice came from the gauze tent on the second floor: "How about "Wang Baochuan"?"
The county magistrate raised his eyebrows: "There is nothing new about it, just Wang Baochuan."
The magistrate is straightening his body, which means he is going to listen to the play well.
Seeing that the performance of the county magistrate was finally normal, the class leader was relieved, and hurriedly went to the backstage to greet and sing Wang Baochuan.
Li Ji didn't know what this Wang Baochuan was talking about, but he could somewhat guess it.The county magistrate said that he would think of Li Yan because of watching this opera.
The props on the stage are all placed properly, and soon the show will begin.
After only watching the beginning, Li Ji lost his interest.It was another scene between a rich lady and a poor scholar. Li Ji only cared about eating melon seeds and drinking tea, squinting his eyes, and took a nap.
I don't know how long I slept, and when I woke up, I heard soft crying beside me. Li Ji opened his eyes and looked over, slightly stunned, the county magistrate was crying.
Li Ji looked at the stage, and the rich daughter who was originally surrounded by gold, silver, pearls, hairpins, brocade clothes and satin changed into a patched linen dress, and she seemed to be digging wild vegetables with a basket in her hand.
I also sang that I was unlucky today, I only dug up two wild vegetables, and cooked a bowl of soup, but it was enough to satisfy my hunger.
Standing by the stove, the opera singer looked miserable, but also faintly filled with longing, and the tone of his singing was full of missing his missing husband.
In a blink of an eye, the actress was going down, and Xue Pinggui in military uniform was about to enter the stage.
The county magistrate stopped: "Let's go here."
As soon as these words came out, the actors on the stage knelt on the ground one after another, for fear of offending the magistrate if they sang badly there.
The magistrate of the county said: "I heard people say it twice before. I thought it was different, but now I can't see it. This Wang Baochuan gave up his wealth and wealth and suffered in the cold kiln, but in exchange for 18 years of trust. His love is deep and righteous." , became the son-in-law of another country in a blink of an eye. It is better to say that it is a tribute to the deep love between their husband and wife than that a heartless man ruined the girl's 18 years of youth. This play will not be sung in the future, and there is really nothing to sing about."
After saying this, the magistrate wiped away the tears from his eyes, and said to Er Gouzi next to him, "Chang'an, you and your mother have suffered a lot of crying over the years, and only by looking at it from the sidelines can we know that I was I'm so sorry for your mother. Now your mother is still a lonely grave in the mountains, lonely. Tomorrow will be a good day. Your mother's only wife at that time will naturally enter our Shen family's ancestral grave. I can't leave because of business. Dutiful son, personally escort her to the ancestral grave for burial."
Thinking about it, the magistrate said again: "I have been busy with official business for so many years, and I didn't even go back to my hometown. I feel guilty when I think about it. This time, you go back and bring a few taels of silver for the clan's repairs. You should also follow along carefully. Brothers in the clan know each other, this is the real recognition of the ancestors."
Er Gouzi nodded, according to what he said before, no matter what the magistrate said, he just nodded.
Seeing Er Gouzi nodding, the county magistrate sighed again: "All these years, you mother and daughter have suffered so much, I am sorry for you."
These words are not only the true words of the county magistrate, but also words for the people present.Let them believe that the county magistrate felt guilty about his dead wife because of watching opera.That's why he sent his son out when he was just found.
Li Ji comforted her and said: "Madam can remember you like this, she has seen it underground. Now she has been alone in that mountain for too long, it is just right to enter the ancestral grave of an adult and be with her family. Two... The eldest son goes back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and pays homage to the ancestral temple. After that, he will no longer be a child without a father."
Li Ji's words followed the words of the county magistrate.If a person recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, he has to defeat his ancestors before he can count.Afterwards, it is only natural to go to repair the house for the clan and get closer to the clan.
Having said that, the magistrate is not in the mood to go to the theater anymore.He left with the two of them.
When the county grandpa left, everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.I really don't know if it was the wrong wind that sent the ancestor of the county magistrate here.If you come with a smile and leave with a smile, it is a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation.But now like this, I happily brought my son and guests to watch the show, but I was not satisfied after watching two shows in a row, so I left directly.
If it weren't for the magistrate of the county showing no signs of anger, the troupe leader might pack up his things and run away tonight.The county magistrate in this county is heaven, if he offends the magistrate, is there any way out?
The actor who just got off the stage came down from the stage and gently asked the head teacher: "What should I do?"
"What else can I do." The head teacher thought about it, this lack of anger should mean that there is nothing serious, "Continue to sing the play today. But don't sing those plays by Miss Scholar. Change it... Let's make a public case. "
The female lead, Wang Baochuan, frowned slightly, and said, "Father, I was only free for this day a few days in advance. You don't intend for me to play."
This actress was bought into the theater troupe since she was a child, and was brought up by the troupe owner from a young age.The actors brought up in this troupe from childhood are all called the troupe's father, the troupe's wife and mother.It's somewhat similar to the brothel and willow lane, and it's a habit in the lower class.
This actress is at a time when she is popular recently, and she is often invited by big families in the county to sing operas, which is the time when she is in demand.The limelight is now in full swing, and if it can support a play to sell tickets, it is the treasure of the theater troupe.
The class leader was also polite when confronted: "Isn't the county magistrate not listening to it today? This lady scholar stopped singing for now. Just to be on the safe side, we will talk about it in a month or two. You go and think about it first. Can it still hurt you?"
The heroine also knew the head teacher's concerns, but she was somewhat unconvinced in her heart.I thought today was lucky, and I was able to serve the county magistrate for a while.I thought that after singing the play, I would get a lot of rewards. If I got the appreciation, I could go to the county grandpa's mansion in the future, and even be included.As an actor, how many people don't want to have a good way out?
"You still love me. I think Dad, you care about your recent son. It's a pity that people look down on our small family, and I don't know how long we can stay." Of course, this son does not refer to the real son. .It can only be said that the leader of the class recently cares about him as much as his own son.
Recently, the troupe came down from the provincial capital to perform a few plays, and the shows were almost full.Borrowing is still a ready-made venue here.
The greasy-faced Xiaosheng is more popular than Huadan and Tsing Yi. Many people invite him to sing at home, but he always chooses someone.
The troupe owner deliberately dug him into his troupe, but the gap between his own troupe and others' troupe was too great to compare.The only card the boss can play is how good he will be in the future.But he was also a baby in the original theater troupe, and the current troupe leader is only greedy.
"Are you still jealous? He is a young student, and you are a Huadan, so he can't take your job. Go take off your makeup and have a rest. You've been exhausted recently."
It is the time when you are popular, you have to take advantage of your popularity to earn more money.Before becoming a master over the years, it is possible to be pushed down by a newcomer at any time.
The three of them walked back in the carriage again.Li Ji picked up the curtain and looked out, it was a familiar street.There are only three streets in this county, and this street is the place for eating, drinking and having fun.Seeing that the restaurant in front of him was the one where he met the magistrate for the first time, Li Ji smiled and said to the magistrate:
"Look, my lord, that's where we met Dao back then. At that time, I didn't know that you were the magistrate of the county, and you said a lot of nonsense."
The magistrate looked up at him: "That's when I admire you the most."
Li Jiqian smiled and said: "It seems that I can see my original appearance now? I just say it nicely."
The county magistrate shook his head: "If you didn't hang out with Chang'an, I would appreciate you more."
Li Ji didn't know which string was wrong, so he suddenly said, "Then it's fine if you don't appreciate me."
The county magistrate threw a slap in the face, Li Ji didn't admit his mistake, but said: "It doesn't matter what you think of me, as long as Er Gouzi is nice to me."
After finishing speaking, Li Ji picked up the snack and handed it to Er Gouzi's lips. Er Gouzi's eyes fell on the two fingers holding the snack, and he stuck out his tongue and put the first and fingers into his mouth.
Li Ji was just angry with the magistrate, why would Er Gouzi give face like this?He hurriedly pulled out his fingers, his face was hot, he straightened his back after thinking about it, and smiled at the magistrate.
In the eyes of the magistrate, the smiling face is a pure villain's success, which cannot be seen at all.
The county magistrate turned his eyes away from these hot-eyed things, but he felt funny that he didn't come.
The carriage went all the way back to the county grandfather's mansion.After returning to the mansion, looking at the welcoming girl Li Ji, he couldn't help but think of what he saw at the county magistrate's mansion yesterday, and it was more pleasing to come here.
Today's scene where the county magistrate is in the troupe, I believe it will soon spread throughout the county.The common people may not know it, but those who have a head and a face, I believe they have got the letter.
Now there is a golden phoenix flying out of the small village. An inconspicuous little village girl is actually the wife who has been loved by the county magistrate for more than [-] years and has always been devoted to her.
Many people paid attention to the Li family in the village, and considered whether to send some gifts to these people, so that they would say a few more words of kindness when they met the county magistrate in the future, and there would be more opportunities in the future.
What made them worry was that the Li family didn't treat Li Yan well, it could even be said that they were unfeeling, otherwise Li Yan wouldn't be able to dig a hole in the mountains to live alone.
In Gaomen, everyone has their own way of information, if everything is one step behind others, then there is no possibility of climbing up.
Although the Li family treated Li Yan badly, Li Yan's son, the county magistrate's only son, was also taken in by the Li family. Wasn't Li Ji honored by the county magistrate as a guest of honor?Zhao Ruyue, who had said bad things about Li Yan before, was also directly pointed out to the county magistrate as a concubine by the magistrate because of his relatives.
It can be seen that Li Yan's influence on the county magistrate is not small, so that the county magistrate's love for the house and the black face of Li Yan's relatives in Li Yan's family have all accepted it.
In this way, other relatives may also be remembered by the county magistrate, so it should be beneficial to show affection to them.
These people were not sure, so they simply found a time to meet up with the county magistrate to hear what the magistrate meant.If the county magistrate nods, then everyone can taste the sweetness together.
After hearing what they said, the county magistrate blamed them for being troublesome.In fact, he really thought a lot.
Now that there is a beautiful concubine in her arms, how could the county have no other thoughts?How furious was the magistrate that day? The magistrate saw it, and in the blink of an eye, he personally gave Zhao Ruyue to him as if he hadn't seen it.
Looking at the dowry given to Zhao Ruyue by the magistrate, it can be seen that the magistrate is sincere in his love for Zhao Ruyue.
This Zhao Ruyue is just Li Yan's niece with a different surname.The appearance is like this, and the family's family must be more concerned by the county magistrate.
The county magistrate thought so, and when he saw the people coming, he felt it was an eyesore. Their arrival was simply to share a spoonful of the pie, which made the county magistrate lose the opportunity to seize the opportunity.
But at this time, you can't hide the thoughts in your heart. If you deliberately mislead them for your own selfishness and enjoy it for yourself, then it will be difficult to be a human being in the future.
In this way, even if the county magistrate is unwilling in his heart, he can't show it on his face.He could only say: "Where do we need to make troubles? Our county magistrate values friendship. If he can love his wife for 20 years, he will naturally open his heart to his wife's family."
A group of people were waiting for this ready-made sentence, and with this sentence, they could all feel relieved.
"After hearing what you said, we are relieved. Mr. Shen usually doesn't get in, and we can't get close if we want to. Without close, I always feel uneasy in my heart, and we can only look at it from another place." Take it. Otherwise, we won’t even be sure if you have something in your heart, and this official will not be stable.”
As soon as the words were finished, I saw a servant rushing over, holding a brocade box in both hands, it didn't look big, but it was very delicate.
The county magistrate was having a banquet, and he felt ashamed to see the servant like this.He frowned and said, "Why are you panicking? Don't distract the interest of the adults."
The servant lowered his head very low, wanting to cry.He said in a trembling voice, "My lord, just now the officials from the county magistrate's mansion came over personally and sent back the hair crown that you gave to the Uncle Shen's family, and left a message."
This hair crown was chosen by the county magistrate at the time, so the magistrate did not recognize it.
"What?" The county magistrate felt a little uneasy.
The servant trembled and said: "My lord said... my lord said, you can see if this box can, can it hold your lord's head."
The county magistrate stood up suddenly, and broke out in a cold sweat at that moment.
Just now, he was full of calculations, but now there is only a blank mind.
This is the most obvious warning, anyone can see it.And it was at such a time that he specially chose to come here when a group of people came to discuss with the county magistrate.Is this a warning to the county magistrate, or is it a warning to everyone present?
Everyone had cold sweat on their foreheads, and they were even glad they didn't pretend to be smart enough to give gifts to Li Yan's relatives.Looking at the performance of the county magistrate today, if he really did that, this official has done it.
The county magistrate turned his head around a few times, and finally waved his hand vigorously: "I see, let's go down."
The county magistrate slumped back to his seat, picked up his teacup and didn't drink it, just watched in a daze.After a while, he drank the wine in the glass and let out a long sigh.
Then he raised his head and said to the crowd: "Obviously, the county magistrate doesn't like this kind of closeness. What to do in the future still needs to be carefully considered."
As soon as the county magistrate finished saying that he could go to give gifts, he was slapped severely by the magistrate in the blink of an eye. One can imagine the complicated mood at this time.
But the other party happened to be the magistrate of the county, and the immediate boss of the county magistrate.What else can the county magistrate do?Can only suffer.
With such an announcement, the officials of all sizes in the county, as well as those businessmen who were about to make a move, calmed down and stopped their thoughts.
In normal times, the magistrate would not use such a cruel method.Because although this works, it is easy to chill people's hearts, and most of the usual warnings are circuitous.If it weren't for fear that they would give gifts to please the group of people in the village, thus exposing Er Gouzi as the son of the county magistrate, the county magistrate would not have made such a bad move.
Now that those people are calmed down, the following things will be easy to handle.
The county magistrate loaded Ergouzi and the things he had prepared immediately into three carriages in advance, and drove them all along the path to the woods on the roadside outside Li Ji Village, blocking them with bushes.Just waiting for the two to go back, these things will be shipped back together.
In the afternoon, I talked to the magistrate again, explaining all the details before and after. Basically, it was the magistrate who said, and the two listened. Occasionally, Li Ji interjected, and Er Gouzi nodded the whole time, saying what is what.
Waiting for everything that can be thought of to be arranged is equivalent to Li Ji and Er Gouzi's return to the village.
From now on, when the county magistrate sees Er Gouzi again, he can only look forward to two or three days a month.
After finishing speaking, the county magistrate didn't know what to say.
The six eyes of the three were relatively silent, and there was a stalemate for a while.
The county magistrate looked at Er Gouzi, struggled for a while before mustering up the courage to say: "Chang'an...I, can I hear you call me daddy?"
This question was asked cautiously, Li Ji felt sorry for the magistrate when he heard it.
Li Ji poked Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi had some doubts on his face, held back the anticipation of his four eyes for a long time, and then opened his respectful mouth:
"Sound father."
……
"Pfft." Li Ji couldn't hold back his laughter, and then the maids and servants who were serving couldn't help it anymore.Although it seemed a little too much to laugh at this time, Er Gouzi really spoke amazingly.
This is Er Gouzi, and it is impossible for others to understand it like this.
Er Gouzi heard them laugh, and said strangely: "This name is so weird, is it the same as Er Gouzi's name? A bad name is easy to support."
"Stop talking." Li Ji put his hands on his forehead, almost crying from laughter.Laughing is laughing, but Li Ji knew that at this moment, the magistrate of the county was about to cry.
The county magistrate saw that everyone around him laughed, and Er Gouzi's words were really cute, with a smile on his lips, and he felt a little bitter in his heart.It can be regarded as dumbfounding.
"Forget it, it's not time after all. Chang'an, from now on, only I can call you Chang'an. If you want An'an to live in the village for a day, you can only be a second dog, not my Chang'an." After the county magistrate finished speaking, he felt a little melancholy, "If I hadn't become the county magistrate, I would have liked to live in that valley with you. Anyway, my son is in front of me, and my life is comfortable."
The county magistrate stood up and said, "You guys should rest earlier, tomorrow's play will continue, so save your energy."
The sun has just set in the west, and there is still plenty of sunshine.The two of them couldn't sleep so early.
At this time, the people in the mansion basically knew the tricks of the two, and they just ignored the shameless relationship between the two.Anyway, the magistrate of the county didn't object, so those servants just look at it.
I went to the bamboo forest to play with the birds for a while, and then went back to the yard to take a bath.
This time, based on the principle of saving, only one wooden barrel was used. The wooden barrel is very big, and it will not be crowded if two people squeeze into one.Li Ji acquiesced to Er Gouzi's filthiness, and felt the other person's presence in the bathtub, Li Ji even hugged Er Gouzi back with his hands.
"To be honest, are you pretending to be stupid?" asked immediately.
"What?" Er Gouzi didn't understand.
"It's your father. You must be pretending to be stupid on purpose. You should understand what your father means." Li Ji's tone was firm.
These days, Li Ji used "your father" when referring to the magistrate in front of Er Gouzi, and he had explained to Er Gouzi many times what a father is.Even if Er Gouzi can't fully understand the word, the most basic concept is there.
Therefore, when the county magistrate asked him today, Er Gouzi should have known the county magistrate's intention.It's just that he didn't want to call him daddy, so he made a ridiculous joke about calling daddy.
Er Gouzi didn't want to lie to Li Ji, so he was silent for a while before saying, "Yes."
Li Ji patted Er Gouzi on the shoulder: "I'm just asking casually, so don't worry about it. It's up to you to decide whether you want to bark or not. Don't think too much about it."
Er Gouzi nodded, stretched his head towards Li Ji, and placed a light kiss on Li Ji's lips: "I will get used to this as soon as possible. If you say it's a good thing for me to have a father, that's a good thing."
"good."
Because there will be something to do tomorrow, and it will be very tiring if not done, Li Ji rejected Er Gouzi's intentions, and lay down on the bed to rest after taking a bath.
The next morning, it was time to move Li Yan's grave.In fact, it is hard to say where it will be moved. For the time being, please go to the county grandpa's mansion and put it in the ancestral hall for worship.
Find a place with good geomantic omen on the date of death, and it will be the future home of the magistrate and Li Yan.
The two of them were surrounded by a group of grooms in the morning.Er Gouzi is a filial son, although he doesn't need to wear hemp and filial piety, he still has to wear plain white clothes.Although it is plain, but the material is good, even without the bejeweled hair crown, it looks very energetic.
Li Ji is not a filial son, but he has something to do with Er Gouzi, and he also called Li Yanniang, and he also changed into a moon-white dress that is close to white.
The author has something to say: the latest update is very strenuous...and it was updated close to the early morning
Sorry everyone, I will adjust as soon as possible and try to restore the update before 10 o'clock, okay?
