Immortal of Book and Sword Chapter 50: New county magistrates and weirdos
"His name is Ma Zhong. He is a three-ranked scholar. He is forty-five years old this year and has been a magistrate in many places." Wang Song's news at home was relatively well-informed, and Chen Guhong stared at him and laughed Said.
"And this time I came to our county magistrate in Chengyang." Chen Guhong smiled and said.
"What's wrong?" Wang Song noticed the difference between his friends and asked.
Although Chen Guhong told Wang Song at the time, Wu Xiude was dealing with him. But it didn't say that the county magistrate was also involved. Chen Guhong then told the county magistrate.
"What a great job?" Wang Song was dumbfounded, feeling incredible. Then Yang Tian sighed: "Guhong, Guhong, I advise you to wait until the county magistrate is replaced before you go to the county to try."
"I can't wait that long, let alone the next county magistrate doesn't know if he is afraid of the Wu family." Chen Guhong shook his head and said.
Actually dealing with this county magistrate, Chen Guhong had a scrutiny in his heart, so it was hard to say it.
"Hey." Wang Song shook his head and lamented.
"Let's go, didn't you mean someone can protect me?" Chen Guhong smiled slightly and said.
"Even the county magistrate will deal with you, there are birds to use." Wang Song muttered.
"It's natural to go straight to the bridge." Chen Guhong smiled.
"Hey." Wang Song sighed, frustrated, and ordered the slave to leave.
"Drive!" The wheels rolled forward in the voice of the domestic slave. Chen Guhong glanced at the county magistrate's honor guard, put down the curtain and sat back in the carriage.
Closing his eyes, quietly concentrating, accompanied by the sound of wheels, a sense of absurdity emerged in Chen Guhong's heart.
"The wheel of history, roll forward."
walked for about an hour, and went to the hut on the way. The carriage went from inside the city to the outside, and finally came to a small village in the country. There is a mountain in the west, and the water on the mountain rushes down into the flat ground, and then flows eastward into the distance.
is a small village located in the south of the creek, at the foot of the mountain. There are many paddy fields in the open land. In the summer, rice is still green.
The water in the rice field is clear, there are leeches swimming, frogs calling, and many snails.
A small road was repaired in the middle of the rice field, and the carriage was walking on it, looking at the green outside, listening to the frog's call, feeling relaxed and happy.
"What a laid-back and novel countryside." Chen Guhong opened the curtain and scanned the surroundings, and gave a compliment.
"It's boring, it's not as drunk as the brothel in the city." Wang Song curled his lips and said. Then he said: "However, literati, gentlemen and weird people have always liked this countryside, so there is no way we can only come here."
"Who is the talent we want to meet?" Chen Guhong was full of curiosity about the person Wang Song said.
"Weirdo." Wang Song said with a curled mouth.
"What a weird method?" Chen Guhong couldn't help asking.
"He is a genius. He was studying at the age of five, and he was already rich at the age of eight. He was a scholar at the age of eleven." Wang Song said.
Chen Guhong's admiration was beyond words after listening. There is no primordial mystery, and it depends on true talents. What kind of smart person is this?
Then, Chen Guhong sat in a precarious manner, showing the color of listening, and waited for the following. But Wang Song didn't say a word anymore, Chen Guhong couldn't help asking: "Next."
"There are no more." Wang Song said with a curled mouth.
"What's not the following?" Chen Guhong was full of question marks.
"Since he was admitted as a talent, he has given up on continuing to gain fame, farming in spring and summer, and harvesting in autumn and winter. When people ask him why, he just smiles and doesn't answer. Do you think this is a weird person?"
Wang Song said slowly.
"It's really strange." Chen Guhong nodded slowly after listening, but a subtle emotion emerged in his heart.
The carriage continued to walk, and finally passed through a large tract of rice fields and came to a flat ground. Many houses stand on the flat ground, including earthen houses, stone houses, and blue brick and black tiled houses.
There are children playing around at the entrance of the village, and there are also elderly people enjoying the sun.
"Wow!" A few rusty dogs rushed out of the houses, smelling strangers.
Several jolting children also noticed the carriage, showing a timid look, and they dispersed in a rush, and went back to each house. Only a few old people were still there, and one of them walked up slowly.
At this time Chen Guhong and Wang Song got out of the carriage. The old man folded his hands to the two and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the two sons coming to our Majia Village?"
The old man's coarse blouse, his hair sixties, and the dense wrinkles on his face and hands, plus the patches of old age spots, look very unbeautiful.
But the tone is neither humble nor overbearing, it seems to be a scholar.
Chen Guhong and Wang Song noticed this detail and looked at each other. Wang Song asked with his hands: "Lao Zhang, let's find Ma Zhong, Ma Xianggong."
"So you are looking for my son." The old man appeared in a daze.
"Your son?" Wang Song's eyes widened, and Chen Guhong was also very surprised.
"It's my only son." The old man smiled, then bowed to the two of them and said, "It's a pleasure to have a friend from afar. Two please." After that, the old man led the way.
Chen Guhong and Wang Song looked at each other, abandoned the carriage, and followed the old man on foot.
Soon a group of people came to the door of a small yard. From the outside, the yard was mottled with the years, and there were a lot of moss growing on the walls. It was quite a few years old.
The gate of the yard was open, and the old man arched his hand again and invited Chen Guhong in. The outside of this small yard is inconspicuous, but inside it is good.
There are guest rooms on the left and right, and the main building to the north. There are two pine trees planted in the yard. Under the pine tree on the left, there are two children playing around, and an old woman is watching over them.
Hearing the movement, the old woman walked up with the two children.
"This is my wife, these are my two grandchildren. Ma Nong, Ma Geng." The old man introduced.
"Mrs. Ma." Chen Guhong and two saluted the old woman.
"You're welcome." Madam Ma smiled. "I have seen guests." The two children who are only eight or nine years old ~ IndoMTL.com ~ bowed to Chen Guhong and Chen Guhong.
Chen Guhong and Wang Song also nodded, and the two sides knew each other.
Chen Guhong asked the old man: "Dare to ask the old man what is called?"
"Call me Lao Ma." Lao Ma smiled very heartily, and then greeted Madam Ma: "Go and prepare wine and food."
"Okay." Madam Ma smiled, holding the children's hands left and right, and went to the kitchen.
Lao Ma is very polite and has a reading temperament. Chen Guhong and Wang Song were not easy to refuse, so they obeyed. Soon after, Mrs. Ma came back, carrying a bowl of peanuts, a bowl of broad beans, some fruits, and a pot of wine.
"The countryside is simple, no wonder." The old horse invited the two to sit down on the stone table in the courtyard and laughed.
"You're welcome," Chen Guhong said repeatedly.
drank a sip of wine and ate some peanuts. After talking, Lao Ma also learned that the two were from the county seat. Lao Ma asked: "The two sons who came from a long distance are looking for the old son, but what's the matter?"
"Guaranteed!" Chen Guhong confided.
"Guarantee?" Old Ma was a little surprised, and asked, "It is true that some people seek insurance from their old sons, but they are all children of nearby families. The two live in the county, and there are many talented men, how did they come here? This country."
"It's a bit difficult." Chen Guhong smiled and said.
"Okay." Lao Ma didn't delve into it, and laughed: "But my son is in charge of the guarantee. His temper is a bit weird. If it doesn't happen, the old will apologize to the two on behalf of my son."
Speaking, Lao Ma is deeply impressed by the two of them~IndoMTL.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~IndoMTL.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read.
