Chapter 581 Xue Xiaobao wants to become a wise man and a wise man
After Qin Shaoyou complained a few words in his heart, he asked again: "Where are your father and your mother?"
An Ziling played with the puppets and replied: "Dad is busy with official duties in the Yamen in front. Mom should be beating my brother at the moment."
"What mistake did your brother make?"
Qin Shaoyou was a little curious. In his impression, An Zizhan was a very obedient child. How could he be treated like Xue Xiaobao?
Could it be that the fifth sister also learned the third sister's problem and took the baby out to beat her when she had nothing to do?
An Ziling sighed and said helplessly: "My silly brother is clamoring to travel with Xue Xiaobao, and he says that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."
Qin Shaoyou was very surprised: "Follow Xue Xiaobao to travel around? Has Xue Xiaobao come to Mianyuan County?"
"No." An Ziling shook her head and told Qin Shaoyou what happened from the beginning.
It turned out that just two days ago, the third sister asked someone to bring something to the fifth sister. There was also a letter in it, but it was written by Xue Xiaobao to An Ziling and An Zizhan.
An Mutong and An Qin didn't take this letter seriously at first. They just regarded it as a normal exchange of letters between children. They were very happy because they felt that exchanging letters would not only help maintain family ties for the next generation, but also
To train the children's writing skills, they didn't say anything about opening the letter without authorization, and just handed it over directly to An Ziling and An Zizhan.
As a result, the two children opened the letter and read it. In the letter, Xue Xiaobao said that he planned to travel around the country to see how suffering the people were and how difficult people's livelihood was.
Xue Xiaobao boasted in the letter, saying that Kong Sheng took his disciples to travel around the country, and in the end those disciples either became philosophers or sages. Now, Xue Xiaobao, as the successor of Confucius, will also travel around and become sages and philosophers.
An Ziling did not take the contents of the letter seriously.
After all, Xue Xiaobao gave her the impression that she was unreliable.
That reliable person will drag her into a competition to see who can pee the most?
But what he didn't expect was that after reading this letter, An Zizhan was moved. He clamored to follow Xue Xiaobao to travel around the world, and even went to his parents to ask for travel expenses. As a result, he was beaten by a mixed doubles team.
Had a meal.
Although he was beaten, An Zizhan did not give up and kept mentioning this matter in the past few days.
He brought it up again today, and inevitably got beaten again.
After hearing the whole story of the incident, Qin Shaoyou felt angry and funny. He said to himself that Xue Xiaobao, a naughty boy, was getting more and more capable of causing trouble. A person in Luocheng could cause trouble in Mianyuan County. It was really awesome.
.
He took An Ziling to find the fifth sister, and sure enough, as soon as he entered the main room, he saw An Zizhan who had been punished to kneel down.
It seems the beating of the baby is over.
Seeing Qin Shaoyou, the unhappy fifth sister finally smiled.
She came up and took Qin Shaoyou for a check, and then she felt relieved after making sure that there were no injuries or missing parts.
Qin Shaoyou handed over the local specialties and then asked about An Mutong's situation.
Mrs. An Qin said, "Come on, come and give me a gift." She accepted the gift, and then said: "Your brother-in-law is stimulated by you. At the moment, he is in the Yamen asking people to sort out information, and he is going to go to the countryside for inspection.
Fan."
"Are you stimulated by me?" Qin Shaoyou was stunned when he heard this.
An Qin explained: "He is very greedy for the Ten Thousand People Umbrella you brought back, and he also wants to earn one for himself."
"So that's it." Qin Shaoyou understood and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that my brother-in-law has such a heart. It seems that the people in the county are about to have good days."
Then he sighed again and said: "Before we took office, bandits and cults were everywhere in Mianyuan County. Coupled with corrupt officials and taxes, demons and beasts, etc., many villages were destroyed, people were displaced, and the fields were destroyed.
Whether it is deserted or occupied by local tyrants and gentry, it is indeed necessary to patrol the area and make statistics and development plans. Our Demon Suppression Department can help with demons, cults and even bandits, but the development of people's livelihood requires my brother-in-law to worry more.
"
An Qin nodded: "Your brother-in-law also thinks so..."
As soon as she said these words, An Zizhan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and said unconvinced: "My father is also going on a tour, why don't you beat him or punish him to kneel, but still support him? You are partial!"
You are unfair!"
Mrs. An Qin was so angry that she picked up the feather duster and continued to beat the baby.
Qin Shaoyou quickly stopped her.
His movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, and he is familiar with the road.
They all come from the experience of helping Xue Xiaobao stop beatings and getting out.
"Fifth sister, don't be angry. In my opinion, it is a good thing that Zizhan has the idea of traveling around to see the suffering and hardship of the people. It shows that he has had the ambition to benefit the people since he was a child. When he grows up, he will definitely be able to
Promise..."
After hearing Qin Shaoyou's persuasion, the anger in An Qin's heart subsided for a while.
An Zizhan nodded repeatedly: "Ah, yes, uncle is right, that's what I think... Uncle, since you can speak, just say more."
His original intention was to hear more compliments, but Qin Shaoyou unexpectedly changed the subject and scolded him:
"Have you ever heard of the story of destroying seedlings to encourage them to grow? Have you heard of it? That's the best. Now you are just like the seedlings in the field. What you have to do is not to patrol around, but to study and practice. Otherwise, you will be like this
If you look like you are powerless, you will be targeted by demons and ghosts when you leave the city and become their prey. By then, not only will you not be able to see the suffering and hardship of the people, but you will also have to risk your own life.
Come on in! Do you think that Kong Sheng traveled around the world and just talked to people with his mouth? Monsters and thieves will not listen to you honestly..."
Qin Shaoyou relied on his [Skillful Tongue], coaxing and intimidating him, to successfully make An Zizhan change his mind.
This child no longer thinks about following Xue Xiaobao on a tour right away, but plans to follow Qin Shaoyou's suggestion and first improve his knowledge and body, and then go to see the suffering of the people.
"That's right." Qin Shaoyou boasted.
An Qin also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You, as an uncle, are still capable."
"The key is for Zizhan to be sensible, otherwise no matter how much I try to persuade him, it will have no effect." Qin Shaoyou did not take credit.
Then he frowned and said with some worry: "But that brat Xue Xiaobao hasn't even read the book thoroughly yet, he wants to travel around the world, and he's not afraid of risking his life to feed the monsters. I have to
Hurry up and write a letter to your second sister and second brother-in-law to ask them to give up this idea of Xue Xiaobao."
An Qin said: "No need, I wrote a letter a few days ago and asked someone to send it to your second sister and second brother-in-law. They should have received the letter by now and started typing."
"That's good." Qin Shaoyou was relieved.
After chatting for a while, Qin Shaoyou planned to leave and climb over the wall to return to the Demon Suppression Division, but he was left to eat by An Qin.
At the same time, Mrs. An Qin also said: "Someday you invite Miss Su over for a meal. You are a big boss, so you should take care of some things."
Am I being urged to get married?
My majestic Tiger of the Demon Suppression Department is actually being forced to get married? If word of this gets out, will the demons and ghosts laugh to death?
Although Qin Shaoyou was helpless, he did not argue with the fifth sister.
Because he knew that although Fifth Sister couldn't beat him now, her mouth could nag him to death. So he just nodded and repeatedly agreed, "Yeah, right," which soon made An Qin feel bored.
No more urging marriage.
When it was time to have dinner, Qin Shaoyou finally met An Mutong.
The two chatted about what they had witnessed during the inspection. An Muchong looked solemn and sighed: "It seems the situation is more serious than imagined. I have to leave as soon as possible."
Qin Shaoyou said: "When you set out, tell me and I will send a few people to protect you."
An Mutong was not polite to him and nodded in agreement.
After dinner and sitting and chatting for a while, Qin Shaoyou just left the county government office and returned to the Demon Town Division.
This time he walked through the main entrance - as it got darker, the people on the road had dispersed, so he didn't have to worry about being blocked.
It's night in a blink of an eye.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
At three o'clock in the morning, in the quiet Mianyuan County, a gong sound suddenly sounded.
