Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Song Xinglin had something in his heart. The reason why he came here was because he couldn't find Zhao Butou to help him, and secondly, he was thinking about how kindly the lord treated them and his wife back then. That's why I had the courage to come to ask for it.

Now that all the adults have asked, Song Xinglin was naturally unambiguous, and immediately went straight to the point to express his intention.

He stopped sitting, got up and walked to the desk, clasped his fists with both hands and bowed in a bow, "Returning to my lord, you are wise and powerful, and you have guessed everything. You are not talented. I came to the door all night this time. I really want to ask for something." My lord, you are kind."

"Oh?" Did something really come to your door?Want him to show mercy?
Master Wang raised his eyebrows, curious in his heart, but wanted to hear what this little guy who even ran away to give gifts wanted from himself.

County magistrate Wang was amused, lowered his head and took a sip of tea lightly, nodded and said: "What do you want to ask this county, just tell me."

Song Xinglin hurriedly bowed to the end, "Returning to your lord, the matter is like this..."

Song Xinglin hurriedly talked about the fact that his third uncle came to the door today, and that he wanted to replace the third uncle to redeem and buy the silver. When County Magistrate Wang heard this, he laughed first.

"Hahaha, this county thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this one. It's easy to talk about redemption, but it's a trivial matter!"

County magistrate Wang immediately thought of the headache he was having. To be honest, he wished more people like Song Xinglin would come and send more money to his door!After all, Lifu now expropriates too much, but pays too little money for redemption!
County magistrate Wang welcomed those who took the initiative to hand over the money, and he waved his hand decisively, "This is a trivial matter, it doesn't matter if you fill in the name, don't say that the register is just handed over to the county government, even if everyone has already gone to the construction site After serving, as long as the family members are willing to help him buy it, as long as the money is paid in full, the county will be happy to allow him to go home."

Song Xinglin thought a lot when he came, and even imagined that he would be reprimanded by County Magistrate Wang and kicked out of the house with a big stick.

He had expected everything, except that he hadn't expected such a result, and he hadn't even asked for it!

Is it because adults kindly sympathize with themselves and thus exalt their hands?
Or was he mistaken, the Lord Wang in front of him is also a corrupt official like the previous county magistrate?

County magistrate Wang looked at Song Xinglin's fluctuating expression, and he was amused.

A thousand-mile horse that can be killed out of thousands of horses and horses washed by the waves of the imperial examination Jinshi, can also control a county alone, suppressing the top snakes and not daring to show their heads. How can the county magistrate Wang be a fool?

It's also because Song Xinglin is still young, has little knowledge, and hasn't cultivated well yet.

County magistrate Wang saw Song Xinglin's thoughts almost immediately.

They are not annoyed, but appreciate the sincerity of Song Xinglin.

It was rare for him to be in a good mood, County Magistrate Wang couldn't help but wanted to tease Song Xinglin for a while, and couldn't help but said: "You boy, I'm afraid you think that the county is using corvee to enrich its own pocket behind the scenes, right?"

How could Song Xinglin dare to admit these words, he shook his head in a hurry, "I dare not."

"Tch! Don't you dare? Judging by your expression just now in this county, you are very daring! You even dared to hunt tigers. As for the last corrupt official, there is no guarantee that you will also hunt them, hahaha..."

It was originally a funny sentence, but at the end, County Magistrate Wang couldn't help laughing at himself, and when he looked at Song Xinglin again, he was full of appreciation and encouragement.

"But it's okay, I see you dressed like this, boy, you have already entered school, right?"

Song Xinglin nodded yes.

County magistrate Wang followed suit and nodded again, "Okay, very good! It's good to study, good to study! After entering school and studying, people can understand right from wrong, understand reason, distinguish good from evil, good boy, if it is in the future, it will be true. You have encountered corrupt officials and bullies, even if that person is from this county! This county also hopes that you can be like today, and have the courage to stand up..."

"This is natural." Song Xinglin responded sonorously, just listening to the words of Wang County Magistrate...the taste is not right!
And what the lord said is embarrassing, could it be that the lord also encountered some difficulties?
Song Xinglin couldn't help being concerned, "Sir, what is this?"

County magistrate Wang smiled faintly, and his eyes couldn't help falling on the unclosed account book on his desk case, seeming to be self-deprecating, but also worried.

"Hey! Come on boy, this county won't embarrass you anymore, don't worry, this county is not going to be corrupt, but if it can make the people feel better, it can make... Forget it, you are still young, this county is not as good as you Say what to do."

County magistrate Wang shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself, but actually stopped speaking out of emotion, and the words suddenly turned around.

"Okay, it's getting late, and there are still things to do in this county. Good boy, don't you want to redeem your third uncle with silver as a slave? Hurry up, follow me, this boy, to the county government ahead , Find the master on duty, hand in the money, and the master will automatically cross out your third uncle's name."

Listening to County Magistrate Wang's words, Song Xinglin just followed the gaze of County Magistrate Wang, and hurriedly withdrew it from the account book. He suppressed the doubts in his heart, retracted his spirit, and bowed to Mr. Wang again and again to thank, " Thank you for your kindness, the boy will leave."

County Magistrate Wang admired this very much, for the sake of his uncle begging to see his young boy overnight, he looked at Song Xinglin with a smile, waved his hand lightly, and said in a kindness that he was not aware of, "No need, just go, hurry up Go sometime, finish your work and go home, it's late at night..."

Yes, it's late at night.

When Song Xinglin went to the county yamen with the servant boy ordered by the magistrate Wang, he found the master on duty, handed over the five taels of silver for redemption, and watched the master open it to the Manchuria. The yamen in the mountain village handed in the register in the evening, and the third uncle's name was crossed out with a black pen. Song Xinglin breathed a sigh of relief, bid farewell to the servant and master, and hurried home through the night.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Song Xinglin saw the light coming from his house. He knew that his family members were waiting for him and they were still awake.

He couldn't help speeding up his pace, eager to tell everyone the good news quickly, so as to reassure everyone.

Almost as soon as the door was pushed open, the four people sitting around the small square table with oil lamps in the room hurriedly got up and greeted them.

"How is Saburo? Has the matter been settled?"

"Second brother, second brother, does my father still have to serve in corvee?"

"Second brother, don't I need to separate from my father and sister? Second brother?"

"Little brother, you are back. How is everything? Is everything going well?"

Although Yu Su was annoyed that this guy ignored his request and acted secretly by himself, but compared to the outcome of the matter, his little dissatisfaction was not a problem.

Song Xinglin, who was surrounded in a blink of an eye, listened to everyone's unanimous inquiry and looked at their pairs of expectant eyes. Song Xinglin first carefully looked at his guest, and saw that the other party did not intend to settle the score with him. The stone falling in my heart fell to the ground, followed by others, with a smile on my face, and nodded heavily in front of everyone.

"Well, don't worry, everyone, the matter has been satisfactorily resolved. I personally found Mr. Wang to solve it. Mr. Wang is very open-minded and a good official. He didn't make things difficult. He just asked me to go to the yamen and pay five liang of silver to the master on duty. , I only came home after I saw Third Uncle’s name crossed out with my own eyes.”

As soon as this remark came out, Goro jumped three feet high excitedly, shouting yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes;
Song Xiahe also hugged Yu Su, tears welling up in her eyes, all weeping with joy;

As for his little guest? Under his gloomy gaze, he hugged her helplessly and connivingly, only caring about comforting her second sister, not caring about herself at all;
Only the third uncle, Song Sande, was so excited, his hands trembling, he grabbed his arm firmly, and his mouth was full of incoherent thanks.

"Thank you, thank you, Erlang, uncle thank you, thank you, woo woo woo..."

Song Sande's tears this time were all tears of joy for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

"Erlang, uncle, thank you, thank you! Don't worry, uncle is not someone who doesn't know anything. The money that uncle owes you, including the money that the second girl treated before, even if uncle doesn't eat or drink in the future, uncle will do it as soon as possible. It’s still up, don’t worry, Erlang, don’t worry, uncle understands, yes, understand! Woooooooo..."

He raised his hand and kept wiping away his tears, his mouth was whimpering, and he even secretly swore in his heart that he would look for work at dawn tomorrow, even if it was to carry a big bag at the pier?
In short, he must pay back his nephew's account first, so he can't bother his nephew, and let the child subsidize him, right?Then what has he become!
As for home?

Song Sande was thinking about those cruel people at home, when he heard the voice of his nephew.

"Third Uncle, there is no rush to pay back the debt, but in my nephew's humble opinion, Third Uncle, you'd better not go back, and stay in the city for a few days, and then go back when all the expropriated people have gone to work on the construction site. Not too late."

Song Sande was a little puzzled, "Why?"

"Why?" Song Xinglin raised his eyebrows.

"If it wasn't like this, when I go back, my grandpa and grandma will ask you, how did you get the money for the redemption, and what will you say then? Uncle and nephew are not rich, and I paid five taels of silver because my guest got up early and was greedy for night. I earned it with hard work with both hands, and my nephew will not have a second one, and a third five taels... When uncle you go back like this, the family will force you to ask for money, and the villagers will not go when they ask you why you have your name on it. , have not been held accountable by the yamen, what should you say at that time? Could you tell everyone to come to me? Third uncle, nephew is just an ordinary person, but I don’t have the ability to give everyone this money to cross out the name! "

Hearing what Song Xinglin said, Song Sande suddenly realized, his head shook like a rattle, thinking about it, he nodded frantically again, "Yes, yes, no, no, Erlang, don't worry, uncle listens to you, uncle Listen to you, if uncle doesn't come back, tomorrow morning uncle will go to the pier to look for work, if uncle doesn't come back, definitely not!"

Anyway, he made up his mind to earn money to pay off his debts, and if he doesn't come back, he won't go back. The family is worried, and it must not be worried about his own safety. They are just worried that if they don't return, they are afraid that it will be their turn. Go to the top of the tank by yourself, or you have to bleed and pay money.

Since parents and brothers are ruthless, let them also worry about it for a while.

Song Sande, who finally got his senses, was decisive and sensible for a while.

The important matter on his mind was settled, and he had to do business early in the morning. Song Xinglin took Song Sande and his son to the big car shop and spent ten yuan to open a private room for them. After returning, everyone went to sleep separately.

After a busy day, there was another event in the evening. Yu Su also felt tired and woke up once in the night.

She wanted to get up to get a glass of water, but when she turned over, she found that the person beside her was still asleep with big round eyes staring at her. Yu Su was puzzled, and stretched out her hand to tug on the person beside her, feeling a little worried.

"What's the matter with you, little brother? Why haven't you slept yet? But is there something that hasn't been resolved? Or is it that the third uncle's matter is not settled, and you lied to everyone earlier?"

It's no wonder that Yu Su thinks this way. In fact, my little husband is a good eater and sleeper. Even if he is bullied by the werewolf at home, and even encounters a big tiger in the mountains, he is the one who fights back directly. Will not suffer from insomnia.

What's the matter with him now?
Yu Su couldn't help but care.

Song Xinglin didn't expect that Yu Su would wake up in the middle of the night, and he didn't expect that the little girl wanted to be crooked when she opened her mouth.

He was helpless and funny, and quickly put his arms around him and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, Yuyu, don't think about it, the third uncle's matter is really settled, and I have nothing left to solve."

"Really?"

"real!"

"Cut!", she didn't believe it, if there was nothing wrong as he said, then why couldn't he fall asleep?
Song Xinglin was dumbfounded by Yu Su's concerned and straightforward eyes, and felt warm at the same time.

He couldn't help being amused, raised his hand and scratched Yu Su's snorting little nose and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I surrender, surrender is not enough, I won't hide it from you, Yuyu, I'm really fine, I can't sleep just because ..."

Thank myself for my good eyesight, I obviously didn't want to look at it, but when I accidentally glanced at it at that time, I was caught by myself.

Song Xinglin sighed in his heart, and hugged the person like a big baby, but he told Yu Su what he heard, saw, and even what Mr. Wang sighed at night with Mr. Wang, and he didn't care about her. Do you understand.

Naturally, Yu Su understood. Not only did she understand, but she even had an inexplicable sense of comfort in her heart.

It's not easy, her little husband is finally no longer the reckless man he used to be, his mind has become sharper, his thinking has become mature, it is really not easy to grow up like this.

It is said that reading can distinguish right from wrong, and the ancients did not deceive me.

But what the young man said... Yu Su's mind turned, and an idea popped up in his mind.

She tugged on the sleeve of the little Xianggong, blinked her eyes and said in a sticky way: "Little brother, tell me, with Mr. Wang's appearance, is he short of money... The amount is wrong, to be exact, is the county short of money?" Silver? That's why Mr. Wang is so worried?"

The more Yu Su said, the more she felt that she was right. Before Song Xinglin could agree with her, she continued with sparkling eyes.

"Little brother, think about it, whether it is to strengthen dams, comb rivers, or build canals, these not only require manpower, but also money is indispensable! So many people need food and money; the wood needed for construction Sand and stone also need money; even transporting these things requires money; it is only natural that Lord Wang is anxious to ask for money everywhere!"

Song Xinglin couldn't help but nodded in cooperation with Yu Su, feeling that his guest was right.

"Yuyu, you are right. The seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, are indispensable for ordinary people to live without money. Mr. Wang is carrying such a big plate, and it is naturally the money that has gone to the sea. I just pity Mr. Wang. It's only been a short time since I took office, but when I encountered such a rigid order from the court, I was not happy to transfer the money from above. If the construction period is not completed smoothly, or if something happens in the middle, Mr. Wang has to bear it all by himself. It is too difficult for Mr. Wang..."

It's not easy!

Mr. Wang is worried, the hair of a young and middle-aged person is going to be gray.

Listening to Song Xinglin's emotion, Yu Su inexplicably thought of the gold that she and her little husband secretly obtained and hid at home right now after she got smaller.

"Little brother, tell me, how about we secretly send those to Mr. Wang? We don't come out, quietly..."
