Chapter 2228: People are doing it, people are doing it
The war in Youbei did not affect the lives of some people in the mainland of the Han Dynasty.
It's like a touching ballad, which makes all the listeners shed tears and move their faces. However, if you are far away, you can only see the singer's mouth opening and closing, but you can't hear what is being sung, or even the singer can't be seen, and
Why is there any emotion?
"I said, this batch of goods of yours, haha, it's impossible..." The middle-aged man in gray clothes shook his head and pointed at the lacquer box placed on the desk, "...Look, it's all broken.
So deep..."
The Han Dynasty liked to use lacquer boxes, but not all lacquer box boards were made of perfect materials. There must be some lacquer boxes whose boards were spliced or repaired. Therefore, if the craftsmanship is not paid attention to, it is easy to form uneven or convex surfaces on the paint surface.
It's rupture.
This is a problem of craftsmanship, but it is also a problem of people.
But some people think it's not a problem.
"This... doesn't everyone have this? If you don't believe me, I'll go find the Wang family for you. They also have it! I'm not the only one like this..." The boss in green clothes said with a smile, "How about this on the table?
How about a few, if you don’t like them, I’ll change them for you..."
The man in gray clothes rolled his eyes, "These are the ones I randomly dug out of your batch of goods in the warehouse... You only exchanged these few, is it interesting? These are what the imperial court wants!"
"What the imperial court wants is right, but isn't there a hierarchy?" The shopkeeper in blue clothes smiled and stepped forward, "Don't embarrass me, brother... Look at where the nobles use this, they all have it."
It's good, isn't it? These... haha, they look a little bit broken, but they can still be used normally..."
"Did you break this piece of shit two years ago? It's been two years and you haven't thought about changing it?" The man in gray clothes said dissatisfiedly, "Look at the Zhen family's, how good it is.
That paint surface is like a mirror. How can I put it? The light can judge people!"
"This...it can be changed, but it costs money! Brother, my small business is not easy. Where can I get so much money to change the craftsmanship? Besides, if these can't be sold, brother, where will I get the money?
Improve the craftsmanship?" The shopkeeper said with a smile, "And don't you think this is just a wooden bean plate? Put the dishes on it and eat it, who cares whether the noodles are broken or not? It doesn't affect the use, it won't affect it at all.
...Besides, if you don't like this bad thing, you can go with your own good ones if you have money..."
"That's what I said, but someone has an opinion..." The man in gray clothes said lazily, "Last time, someone said it in front of Xun Lingjun, saying that the new plates were all broken...
It’s hard for me to do it..."
"Then... well, what did Xun Lingjun say?" The shopkeeper's expression changed and he asked cautiously.
The man in gray clothes glanced at the shopkeeper, "You are stupid. If you really said something, I wouldn't be here..."
"Yes! Yes, yes! I still feel sorry for my brother! I am loyal!" The shopkeeper gave two thumbs up and praised, "You said those guys have nothing to do after they are full. Why are you so excited? Isn't it just that the plates are a little bit broken?
?Whose plate will not break after being used for a long time? Huh? Besides, isn’t this all for me... By the way! Aha! I thought of it!』
The shopkeeper was startled, and Huiyi was startled, "What are you doing? The sound is so loud!"
"Brother, I thought of it! This will definitely shut up those troublesome guys! They won't even let out a fart!" The shopkeeper's face was full of excitement, and the flesh on his face was shaking.
"Oh?" The man in gray clothes blinked, "Tell me about it?"
"Let's just say that among our batch of goods, the ones that are broken or have gaps are all done "on purpose"..." the shopkeeper said mysteriously.
"On purpose? Are you hysterical?" Gray Clothes raised an eyebrow and said dissatisfied, "Who would believe you?"
"Don't worry, brother, just listen to what I have to say..." The shopkeeper smiled and didn't care about the sarcasm in gray clothes.
The man in gray clothes chuckled, "Okay, you say it, you say it!"
"What I mean is...Didn't Mr. Cao ask for frugality before?" The shopkeeper winked, "Xun Lingjun also said, be simple and don't be extravagant..."
"Ah, that seems to be the case." The man in gray clothes nodded.
"So!" The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Look, isn't this just right?! These wealthy people are "frugal"! They are "simple"! It is to remind these little officials,
Don’t forget Cao Gong’s admonition, and don’t disobey Xun Lingjun’s teachings!”
"Ah?" The man in gray clothes was stunned.
"Brother, in order to better let these little officials understand this truth and put it into practice, you specially found a batch of plates like this, which are broken but not broken, broken but established, and advocate frugality and the pursuit of simplicity! How about it?!"
The more the shopkeeper talked, the more excited he became, "And those minor officials who have objections can't realize that I am so attentive. It's really stupid and unreasonable!"
"Hiss..." The man in gray clothes pinched the beard on his chin and said nothing.
"In this case, what opinions can they have? How dare they go to Xun Lingjun and say anything?" The shopkeeper laughed, obviously very satisfied with his own wisdom.
The man in gray clothes frowned, "You say it was specially made? Isn't it a matter of the quality of the plate's craftsmanship?"
"Absolutely not!" the shopkeeper said resolutely, "This is done intentionally, just to fit in with the people and pursue simplicity! And it was my brother who worked so hard and went through so much trouble to find me like this. I didn't even know it at the beginning.
I am willing to do it because I made it specially for Cao Gong’s order. This is specially made! This is brand new! Special craftsmanship! Brand new special craftsmanship! 』
"Wait, what kind of craftsmanship?" The man in gray clothes couldn't react for a moment.
"Ragged, uh, no, shabby, no, old craftsmanship!" said the shopkeeper.
"Broken...made, old craftsmanship?" The man in gray clothes seemed to be a little moved.
The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said: "Exactly!"
The man in gray clothes swallowed, "Specially made? So..."
The shopkeeper smiled happily, "Of course, it's specially made, the price...ah, haha, hahaha, of course, I have the final say, I have the final say! I just need to earn some money to support my family, really."
I just support my family... Really, I know this. I have been honest since I was a child. I have never lied to anyone. I have never told a lie in my life..."
……(?▽?)/ヾ(^▽^ヾ)……
"I really didn't lie to you!" An impatient voice sounded, "Really, really, absolutely true! What do you think I would do if I lied to you? I can't eat two more bowls of rice if I lie to you!"
Then he looked at the person opposite who didn't seem to believe it, and then said, "Really! Take a look, I have written it all down, and I will definitely report it to you! No problem, remember it all, remember it, never forget it!"
This is a semi-large official house. There are three big characters hanging high outside the house, "Zhiyin House".
The waiter in the room waited for the person who had just arrived to leave, then breathed out, "Hey! What's going on!"
"What's the matter? What's wrong!" Another clerk in the room responded casually.
"Isn't it?" said the young official, "I don't even have a name, so what's the use of telling me? You still have to ask me to write it down, so what's the use of writing it down?"
"Isn't that true?" The second clerk also sighed, "We just make a living, do you really think we can take care of things? If you don't talk to people who can really take care of things, if you don't talk to us, these people are stupid.
What?』
"More and more people are coming here? Can't we live a peaceful life for a few days?" The clerk sighed, then pointed at the talent record on the desk and said, "What should I do with this? I still have to cut it with a knife.
My knives are all dull..."
The clerk Yi said nonchalantly, "What else can I do? Just cut it as usual. You can write again after you cut it. Do you still want to burn it? What a waste... Then, use my knife later."
, I just sharpened it yesterday so that... uh, someone is here..."
The new arrival stood at the door and stared at the clerk in the room.
"Excuse me..." Xiao Li A had a habitual smile on his face, "What's your surname?"
The visitor cupped his hand and said, "Under the guard tent of the Western Region's capital, Sima Gao Wutong, the forward of the left route army!"
"Oh, oh, I've seen Gao Sima..." Little Lier Yi greeted, "Gao Sima, please come in and sit down. Ah, I'm really sorry. This place is shabby and the hospitality is not good. Please forgive me..."
"Yes, please forgive me, Gao Sima... Well, Gao Sima, why don't you drink some water first?" Xiao Li A pretended to push the water bowl and jug that were originally placed in his hand forward a little.
Li Jia dared to swear on his *** that he really just pushed forward a little bit, at most the width of a ***. He originally thought Gao Wutong would say no, but he didn't expect Gao Wutong to do so.
He nodded and said, "Thank you, I just happened to be thirsty after leaving!"
There wasn't a lot of water in the small pitcher, so Gao Wutong drank it all in two or three gulps.
Officer A subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling that his throat was a little dry, and secretly regretted why he didn't take a few more sips just now...
"Ahem..." Little Li Yi coughed twice and drew Gao Wutong's attention, "I wonder what happened to Gao Sima today?"
"That's right!" Gao Wutong said seriously, "Lieutenant Chang from the rear camp of the Zuo Army deducted 30% of my men's military pay for no reason! Last year, we said we would reissue it this year, but this year I went, but it turned out that it was no more!"
"It's Chang again..." Xiao Lijia muttered.
"What did you say?" Gao Wutong asked.
Officer A quickly smiled and said, "Nothing, nothing, I mean... sometimes the calculation may be wrong, and this will happen..."
Gao Wutong nodded and said, "I thought so before, so after I went back, I reported the number of people in our army and the accounts."
"Hmm, what happens next?" asked the young official Yi.
Gao Wutong slapped his leg, "But he said he didn't see it! I asked them to look for it, but they said they couldn't find it!"
"Uh, this... things in the back camp are complicated, maybe I really haven't found it..." Xiao Li Yi said, "Then Gao Sima, you should go to the captain of the back camp... If that doesn't work, you can go to General Wei, he is
Officers……"
"I looked for it too," Gao Wutong said, "I couldn't find it!"
"What...what do you mean not found?" asked the young official.
"He's just not in the back camp." Gao Wutong said, "I asked his subordinates, but his subordinates didn't know where he was. Then I asked the people in the back camp what to do about this matter? They said that you should handle it..."
"This... there may be some misunderstanding..." Officer Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "We are both just here. Seriously, I will never lie to you..."
"This is true, absolutely true..." Little Li Jia also said with a wry smile, "Gao Sima, you don't know, we have just arrived here not long ago, and we can only live in this small house. Even
You have to drink water yourself..."
"Eh?" Gao Wutong cupped his hands, "Well, I'm sorry, I just drank all your water..."
"No, no, that's not what I meant," the clerk waved his hand and said, "That's really not what I meant. I mean, we can't help... We really can't help with this matter..."
Gao Wutong frowned and asked, "Then why do people in the back camp say they want to deal with you?"
Officer Yi shook his head and sighed, "It's not just people from the back camp, people from all over the country and everywhere are asking us to come to them..."
"Why?" Gao Wutong asked.
The little official was beating his chest and feet in pain, "I don't know what God said, we can directly communicate with the superiors and subordinates, and communicate with God, so we can take care of big and small things... Gao Sima, tell me, if we really have this ability,
Will we still stay in this small room? We really can’t control it, really, really, I’m not going to lie to you..."
"..." Gao Wutong didn't know what to say for a moment.
Officer A and Officer B looked at each other holding hands, with tears in their eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved. We didn't eat other people's rice, we even had to fetch the water we drank, and as a result, we had to endure so many hardships every day.
I feel wronged, I have so many things to do, and I have to be scolded from time to time. It is really impossible to live these days...
"Ahem..." Gao Wutong broke the silence, "Then what can you do?"
"Ah? We? Um..." Xiao Lijia blinked twice, "We can only take a note at most?"
Gao Wutong nodded and said, "Then just remember it! Really remember it!"
"Huh? Ha?" Little Li Jia didn't understand.
"I just saw it, what are you pretending to write on the wooden slip that is already full of writing?" Gao Wutong twisted his neck to the side and gestured to the wooden slip on the clerk's desk.
"Uh..." Xiao Lijia grinned, "This..."
"It's not your fault if you can't control it, but why don't you do it well if you can do it?" Gao Wutong said, "Forget it, I get it... Anyway, I said this, you can figure it out yourself.
……I am leaving!"
Gao Wutong stood up quickly, touched his hands as a salute, and then left.
"Ah..." Officer B frowned, looking at Gao Wutong's retreating figure, and then turned to ask Officer A, "You said... what are we going to do about this matter?"
……(*T_T*)#(*T_T*)……
"What should we do? What do you think? What can we do?" A scribe waved his sleeves and said, "Coax him to leave! Really, you can't settle such a trivial matter, so what else do you need to do? Ah?!"
"Dare to ask Dali Si Zheng, so about this case..." A clerk asked cautiously, "How should it be handled?"
"You still ask how to deal with it?" Dali Si was blowing his beard, "You still need to ask!? No! This belongs to the Xiahou family! How many heads do you have?"
The clerk held his head and left.
Dali Temple turned around and laughed with his colleagues: "This Xiahou family has really weird habits. Who are you? Tsk! Hey! He is really young and ignorant, and he doesn't know how to cover up... He has been accused again and again.
It’s not easy for us to come to your door...』
"Exactly, exactly." Another person said with a smile, "But on this occasion of beautiful mountains and clear waters, in the wild...hehehehe, it must have a different flavor..."
"Oh really?"
"Hehe, haha..."
When several people were laughing and discussing where they were most comfortable, the clerk just moved back slowly and said, "Report... I report to the master of Dali Temple, this, this enemy."
Don’t want to leave…』
"What?! Are you going against the will of heaven?!" Dali Si Zheng slapped the table and stood up, "You bastard! You can't handle such a small thing! Lead the way! I want to see what kind of killer talent he is,
You don’t even listen to kind words!』
As soon as Dali Temple walked into the side hall, he saw a person with a face full of sorrow and was about to rush towards him. He quickly shouted and asked the yamen servants and others to hold the sufferer, and then he stood firm and stepped back.
Leg, asked very seriously: "You are the one who wants to sue General Xiahou's third son? What are you going to sue General Xiahou's third son?"
The sufferer cried loudly, "Yes! I want to sue the third son of Xiahou! Xiahou... my wife, who was out of the city... was killed by this little beast..."
"Shut up! Speak evil words!!" Dali Si looked serious and serious, "How can Dali Si, a majestic Dali Temple, roar in court at will? If someone comes, slap him twenty times first!"
As soon as the order was given, a government official came forward and held down the sufferer, and slapped him twenty times fiercely.
"Well... remember, don't say bad words... tell me again... what happened?" Dali Si was slowly stroking his beard.
『@#@……』
How could the sufferer, whose cheeks were swollen and bruised, speak clearly?
"Ah, I can't hear you clearly... Let's go back first and come back when you can explain clearly..." Dali Si said with a smile.
The sufferer shook his head wildly and refused to leave.
Dali Temple's face slowly changed, and he grabbed the complaint that had been recorded by the clerk on the side. He glanced up and down and said, "I said... you said that your wife is pure and kind, so why are you running out of the city when you have nothing to do?"
?Huh? Oh, visiting friends. Would a woman from a good family go to visit friends casually? Huh? Well, even if it is to visit friends, then what do you want to do if you don’t go home quickly after visiting friends and hang out outside the city? Hmm?
?You are still wearing red and green clothes. Did you hear something that meant you wanted to seduce the third son of General Xiahou? After the peace treaty, he was not satisfied with seeking money, so he wanted to assassinate the third son of General Xiahou! The hairpin on his head was the weapon of murder! This man
The evidence is complete, but you dare to confuse right and wrong and falsely accuse the third son of General Xiahou?!"
"Originally, I thought you were a first-time offender, and I intended to reduce the sentence, but you actually didn't know what was wrong and insisted on making false accusations! It's really unreasonable!" Dali Temple was tearing the complaint to pieces casually, "Come here! Give me a heavy punishment of twenty, and then go out with someone! To set an example to others."
!』
The officer shouted loudly, then came up and pushed the victim to the ground, and immediately executed him.
"Huh!" Dali Sizheng glanced sideways, then ignored it, flicked his sleeves and walked back unsteadily.
"How's it going?" My colleague asked, "Is it done?"
"Of course it's done!" Dali Si Zheng said proudly, "Back then I was keying... uh, studying and refining the documents diligently, how could I not be able to deal with such a trivial matter?"
"awesome!"
"Hahaha……"
While they were laughing and chatting, suddenly a servant staggered in with sweat on his head, stained with blood and mud, and threw himself at the foot of Dali Temple. "No... it's not good... my mistress is out... going out for an outing... in the forest."
Zhongping... met Xia, Xiahou..."
Dali Sizheng's smile froze on his face, and he suddenly felt that his eyesight went dark and he fell backwards!
