Chapter 288 Sima Heyu(1/2)
Mr. Tang Weiting, actually asked a friend to come out to have fun today.
But I suddenly received a message that the new county magistrate came. People asked about the new county magistrate and arrived last night.
It was still the 30th night in the New Year, and although it was very lively all over the night, they arrived in the middle of the night, and it was a little unaware of it!
If the Tang family had no eyewitness in the yamen, they wouldn't have seen the parents here without knowing it.
Tang Weiting regretted having made an appointment with a friend before and could not go to the yamen alone to meet the county magistrate, so he could only invite the adults to come here to have fun.
Although it is cheaper for friends to entertain his parents and officials in his own place.
However, they all have interests. So many people meet their parents' officials together, and they can also know what kind of person the parents' officials are in their respective ideas.
Although Tang Weiting received some news, the county magistrate who came this time was also a force in Kyoto, and I just hope that it was not the one who was right with them.
County magistrate Sima Heyu was suddenly summoned back to Kyoto, and came here in the grasslands in the north. After a day in Kyoto, before he had time to rest, he had to bring his family here.
He knew that he would be very busy every day after the first day of the Chinese New Year.
He was a man with a rough mine and could only bear it. His wife couldn't stand the long journey and was sick all the way. She closed the doorman on the first day of the New Year and refused to come in to visit.
I thought it was coming quietly, but no one knew that it was happening that during the New Year, the family was resting for a few days, but they didn't expect that the well-informed Tang family invited him to come out by the lake to enjoy the scenery.
County magistrate Sima Heyu could only leave behind his sick wife and let the people around him watch it and come out for a banquet.
He didn't know that when he and someone came out for a banquet, after he left, his daughter also ordered someone to rent a carriage and play.
His daughter Sima Roumei is actually his youngest daughter. He has a wife who has two sons. The oldest is eleven years old and the youngest is nine years old.
Because his wife was a little weak and could not be with her for many years, he had to take another concubine.
He is a very strong man, a northern man with strong vitality. If it weren't for too much business, how could a woman and a concubine be enough?
The concubine was very committed to giving birth to a son who was over one year old, and this time she followed him.
Although his wife is weak, his children are very strong and his daughter is strong.
County Magistrate Sima He Yu was the county magistrate in the north before, and his children also learned the skills of riding horses and shooting archery.
This time he was sent here to be the county magistrate in the south. He didn't know what the official thought, so he could only obey. It may be the income from family activities.
County magistrate Sima He Yu felt that the family was beginning to become active. Not only did he want to hold it tightly in his hands in the north, but he wanted to reach the south, he was the first to stand out.
He came with great responsibility, as for why so many counties and cities in the south come to Xinxian.
The elders who came to Kyoto had a long talk with him and already knew what some families wanted to do.
That is the Tang family, which is rich enough to rival a country. They are stationed in this county town.
As for the family and the people of the Tang family, are they enemies or friends?
Before, the Tang family was just an imperial merchant, and they did not stand in line or had any relationship with any officials in the court.
County magistrate Sima He Yu received the order to get along with the Tang family and use his potential to gain a higher position for their family members.
As for whether they will become relatives in the future and whether the two families will marry, this is exactly the issue they began to consider.
I also know that the Tang family is already a family that often brings out their hands to many wealthy families.
As for the imperial ministers, the people from the Tang family were not very mysterious and became friends or relatives with these people.
County Magistrate Sima He Yu rode a horse and just brought a follower. He was dressed casually and did not wear official uniforms.
Their family just came yesterday and haven't met him next time. They are even more of the master, and their other subordinates have not met him yet.
I kept watching from the street, and I felt very depressed before coming. I didn’t see the scene on the street clearly in the middle of the night last night.
After watching this, this remote county town is still relatively prosperous.
When I came here, in order to get there quickly, I looked at the route on the map and heard that there are two routes that can reach here directly.
There is a relatively remote road that is not that peaceful. For the sake of safety, he took a safer road.
Fortunately, nothing happened to him on this safe road. He came to the county town in the middle of the night, and there were also gatekeepers guarding the city gate. After their arrival, the gatekeeper asked, he read the presiding summons and respectfully put their family into the city gate.
To be honest, if the county magistrate Sima Heyu had not come with responsibility, he would not want to leave his hometown with his wife and children.
Even if their family is in Kyoto, and there is a high-powered person, as a court official, he has to execute orders.
I also heard that the previous county magistrate had already passed the assessment when he went back and would not be issued. He stayed in Kyoto and was promoted.
His elders told him that it was much easier to work here than to be in the grassland, at least there was a higher future here and more oil and water to make.
County Magistrate Sima He Yu didn't think so much, and felt that he had to slowly get familiar with people after leaving his hometown and coming to a strange place.
Even if he is a parent, he must listen to the people below. More importantly, if the rich gentry on one side does not give face and cooperates, it will be difficult for someone above to deal with it.
I am also a little irritable. An official still has to cater to others. He doesn’t want to do it but has to do it.
County magistrate Sima Heyu appeared by the lake, and Tang Weiting and some friends greeted him.
Their rich and wealthy masters and young masters saw that although the dress in front of them looked good, their makeup was not the dress of their southerners, but at first glance it was the dress of the northerners.
He also had his tall and mighty face. If it weren't for the person sent to welcome him, they would have a little bit of no confidence that the person in front of him was the one they said they wanted to welcome him.
Tang Weiting had heard the news long ago that he was dressing in a low-key manner, and he didn't know, because the other party was dressed very normally and would look down on him.
This kind of officials who did not wear official uniforms and gather with them already means that they were making friends as friends.
The idea of meeting depends on how the other party ishaves.
Tang Weiting welcomed him with a very polite and funny look, and the others also clasped their fists.
Just as I was about to call the county magistrate Sima Heyu, everyone will introduce each other here.
County magistrate Sima Heyu waved his hand to them and signaled them to find a place before talking.
Tang Weiting, his friends and followers asked the county magistrate Sima He Yu to get on the big ship, enter the cabin, and start the introduction.
County Magistrate Sima Heyu nodded and said:
"We meet today as friends, so you don't have to be so polite. My surname is Sima and He Yu."
County Magistrate Sima Heyu spoke so casually that he did not put on airs at all.
Among so many people, only Tang Weiting knows his identity completely, and the others only know what they see now. The simple outfit of county magistrate Sima He Yu, I wonder if he is a scholar with poor people in the north and an official from his family.
However, now others are parents, even if they have other thoughts in their hearts, they will not show them to their faces.
County Magistrate Sima He Yu showed his generous personality. Although he was not familiar with these people and had the first time meeting, he still had to meet someone who had to deal with him.
Tang Weiting gave him the opportunity to build it and saw so many rich people all at once, which was much easier for him to start his future work.
County Magistrate Sima He Yu didn't know if there were any troublemakers who had just taken office to make things difficult for him. Some work had to be done and some people were tampering with it, so it would be really troublesome for him to do things in this county town.
It takes a long time to adapt to this job. If he can't adapt to being squeezed away, his career and career will really fail the family's expectations in the future.
County magistrate Sima He Yu did not have the airs of an official. Tang Weiting and his friends thought that this man was straightforward and should not be the personality of an official.
But they also know that some families have backgrounds.
Even if I am not so scheming in doing things, and have family support, I am not very capable and I will not be too lucky.
Unless there are other spies around him who specialize in getting him down.
When Tang Weiting thought so, he thought about it for a while. In addition to the master, there was another county magistrate with a higher official position.
As far as he knew, there were some other officials who wanted to get the position of county magistrate the most. After Mengli left, they kept moving around. They found some subordinates to apply together.
It’s a pity that he was not the magistrate of County Meng before, but later he couldn’t beat the magistrate of County Meng, so he could only wait for the opportunity with his tail rolled up.
After finally learning that the county magistrate Meng had left, the county magistrate's activities were not only his subordinates, but also invited the rich men and gentry from the county town to hold meetings.
Tang Weiting thought at the time that if the real county magistrate took office, it would be necessary for them to hold meetings.
However, the appointment letter has not been issued yet, and no one knows who the next parent is. Although he expressed his support for him under the county magistrate's activity, he dared not speak nonsense.
Although they don’t know anything about the officialdom, they are not something they can discuss.
Maybe you can buy an official, but higher officials need someone with ability to guide you.
The Tang family was the first county magistrate to know who the next county magistrate was, and received a letter from the capital.
Only one day later, the county government also received a list of the next official.
After Tang Weiting and his family found out, when the county government learned about it, some well-informed people also knew it.
The county magistrate who had been active frequently before, knew that the county magistrate was not him, but was disappointed and felt embarrassed, but was also very lucky. Except for the county magistrate, the official positions of other people in the county government have not changed.
Even so, the county magistrate was very uncomfortable, so he asked some on duty staff to be on duty and some people were on holiday.
No matter when the county magistrate appears, they pretend not to know and do not welcome them.
I thought so when I suddenly came to the county government in the middle of the night. Everyone in the Tang family knew the news, and the county magistrate and some officials also knew it.
But they were threatened and said that they would give county magistrate Sima He Yu a warning. Anyway, it was a holiday and he would not start work without summoning.
County Magistrate Sima He Yu knew that he had arrived in this strange place and must have some people who were not happy.
When he found that in addition to guarding the position, the person on duty had a holiday in the past or two days.
The county government was quiet last night and was so quiet this morning, but he was not upset. The Spring Festival is already on holiday at this moment, so there is no need to let them come back.
He was just thinking of taking a break in the past few days and meeting the people he should meet, and those who don’t want to see him will also meet in the future.
To be continued...
