Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 106

A large round table was divided between the guests and the host, and the county magistrate would sit at the head. Under normal circumstances, the county magistrate should be surrounded by other county officials, and they would sit in order of respect on the left according to their rank.

But today is different.

Isn't today's banquet a celebration banquet specially set up for the heroes fighting tigers? As the protagonist of this celebration banquet, Song Xinglin was naturally invited to sit at the guest of honor on the left hand of the county magistrate, and then to the left, Song Xinglin was sitting together I never thought of letting go of Yu Su's position.

As soon as everyone was seated, the county magistrate immediately beckoned, "Come on, bring me the reward."

Speaking of fighting tigers and rewarding silver, there is still something to say here.

Because several surrounding villages and towns were attacked by vicious tigers, the mayors of these places.The head of the village and the Baojias were bleeding profusely one after another, and they all paid for the evil tiger's punishment.

Three taels for you, five taels for me, according to the last statistics, there are as many as thirty taels, and as the newly appointed parent officer, he is not short of money, after all, no matter how pure he is, he can marry a noble daughter , The family also has some family background.

He has money in his hand, and his wife also has money. This is the first time he encountered such a thing, and the county magistrate Wang was also arrogant. Wanting to gain a foothold as soon as possible, he simply waved his hand and added a dozen taels to it, which led to In the end, the reward order posted on the billboard booth actually had a full reward of fifty taels of silver.

Now that Song Xinglin killed the evil tiger for the people, as a parent and official, he kept his promises, and naturally he had to cash in every penny of the reward, and the county magistrate Wang was also generous, and he cashed it very quickly. Extra neat.

A circle of people sitting around the round table saw a hale and hearty old man in green clothes walking out from behind the curtain of the flower hall with the magistrate Wang waving his hand. The old man was holding a tray covered with a red cloth in his hand.

When other officials met the new county magistrate's steward, they all knew it well;
Only Monk Song Xinglin and Yusu Quezhang were puzzled.

Just when the couple were wondering, the old butler had already approached with a tray in his hand, standing between County Magistrate Wang and Song Xinglin, bowing down to salute with the tray in his hand, calling him master, and respectfully raised the tray above his head. The deputy waited for the magistrate Wang to speak respectfully.

Upon seeing this, County Magistrate Wang gave a hum, waved his hand lightly to signal the old man to get up, without saying much, directly lifted the red cloth covering the tray, and looked at Song Xinglin with a smile.

"Come on, this is the silver reward promised by the county, our young hero will continue."

Following the words of the county magistrate Wang, the five ingots and twelve taels of white flowers and shiny snowflake silver cast by the government yamen suddenly appeared on the tray.

Song Xinglin's eyes were dazzled, but fortunately he still had reason, and he knew he had to politely refuse, "My lord, I'm ashamed of myself."

Song Xinglin has never been a gentleman, and he also likes money very much. In his bones, he doesn't even have the idea that a gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way. After all, silver, who doesn't love money from a legitimate source?want to……

When County Magistrate Wang saw Song Xinglin's refusal, he laughed.

"Hey~ Don't rush to refuse, kid. This is a reward offered by the joint efforts of the county and several villages and towns under its jurisdiction that have been harassed by evil tigers. Since you have hunted this evil tiger and removed this scourge for everyone, reward Silver is what you deserve, be obedient and take it.”

The county magistrate has said so, so why are you being hypocritical?
Song Xinglin didn't play any tricks, refused again and again, quickly stood up and raised his fists towards the county magistrate, "That kid is not talented, so I thank the county magistrate for his kindness."

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, that's right, a man can hunt even a tiger, so he should be more cheerful."

Amidst the compliments and laughs from the county magistrate Wang and the adults around him, Song Xinglin took the tray from the old butler, passed it over, and handed it over to Yu Su beside him.

Song Xinglin didn't notice anything about Song Xinglin's natural appearance, but all the officials present couldn't help laughing after seeing it.

Especially County Magistrate Wang, he laughed most heartily, and even shook his head to joke.

"Hahahaha, unexpected, unexpected, our young hero who fights the tiger is actually a man who is afraid of his family. This is money passed by, will his wife take it in the end?"

Holding the tray, Song Xinglin, who was about to tell Yu Su to collect the money, no matter how thick-skinned he was, his ears could not help but blush under the teasing of the gentlemen.

Wanting to refute a few words, he is not afraid of the guest, but he loves the guest, looking at these joking faces, he suddenly doesn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Yu Su, who was still busy grabbing silver from the tray, thought to himself that this group of fellows who together were almost two or three hundred years old actually bullied their husband-in-law in front of him.

Yu Su quit immediately, instead of being aggressive, he just rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

She didn't pick up the money anymore, she jumped off the chair and walked to the magistrate Wang who was still laughing, and blessed Su's body, and made a not-so-perfect gift.

"Master County, I don't know if there is something I should ask or not."

Yo, it seems that the little wife of this young tiger-fighting hero is not a simple one either.

Look, I'm not afraid at all that my parents and officials don't say anything, but I still want to ask myself a question?
I don't know what the problem is. When the county magistrate heard it, he immediately became interested. He wanted to see what this short, soft little girl could ask. It would be funny. readily agreed.

"Oh? What's the problem, little girl, come and let the county listen to you."

"My lord, you just praised my little brother's ability to fight tigers, he is a young hero, but you don't know how much effort and determination he put in to protect me and kill this vicious tiger.

Speaking of which, if life wasn't difficult, my little brother and I wouldn't need to venture up the mountain to find a living;
Speaking of which, at first we didn't know that the Yamen had issued a reward order to kill this vicious tiger;

My little brother and I brought the evil tiger into the city, but we just wanted to sell it for some money, so that we could buy winter clothes and quilts when it was cold, and buy rice, grain and salt when we were hungry. Going to study and practice calligraphy will also avoid any reward orders in the future. It knows us, but we don't know it. "

What I said is true, all the way through the street before, her family only felt that the little brother who survived the catastrophe held her hand, and kept whispering to herself and swore to herself that he would definitely read and write in the future, and if he said yes, he would not show up again today The danger caused by this illiteracy.

She thought about it too, no, this is a good excuse right now.

After all, who is an official who doesn't like self-motivated children who live in poverty and are still working hard to improve themselves?
Yu Su thinks that she has a thorough understanding of the psychology of these officials, (Bah, you obviously learned and sold it from the perspective of God from many film and television works that pass the time), but she doesn't want to, what she said The words really amazed the people present, especially the magistrate Wang who has a good temper.

At this moment, County Magistrate Wang, seeing Yu Su's eyes shining brightly, couldn't help being surprised, and looked Yu Su up, down, left, and right.

Hey!This little girl is not very big, but what she said is reasonable and well-founded, and even mixed with her shrewd selling misery, no matter how you look at it, this girl seems to have read books and is sensible, but I don’t know Why did she marry a mountain boy at a young age?Could it be the child bride?

But this is not the focus of my attention. The focus of my attention is that this little girl is interesting and smart!

He just likes smart kids!
Little girl, don't look at what she said. She, this is reminding myself that the evil tiger who is still in the hall in front of the county government office is the one they planned to bring to the county to pay back the money. Remind him not to forget It's over!

It protects both husband and wealth, hahaha, interesting, really interesting.
