By the time Man Bao lazily came out of the shower, Yui Yue had already changed the sheets and quilt covers. Bai Shan leaned on the bed and yawned. When he saw her coming out, he gave her a place.
Zhou Man was already a little energetic after taking a bath, so when she saw him yawning, she couldn't help but yawn. She climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt, lay down and closed her eyes.
Bai Shanze pulled away a little of the quilt and pushed her, "I still want to talk to you."
Zhou Man yawned and asked, "What did you say?"
Cui Yuan handed me an article before he left. I read it and thought it was not bad. I think his ability is not weak, so I want to ask him to be my staff.
Zhou Man reluctantly opened his eyelids to look at him, "Don't you want staff?"
Bai Shan said: "But there are indeed many affairs in a county, and some trivial matters are not convenient for the county magistrate and county lieutenant to do.
Zhou Man thought for a moment and nodded. Her medical department was small and sometimes she felt that some things were trivial and boring.
"Then please!"
"You deserve to be relaxed. I want to investigate again."
After all, aides are no different than others. They will be his confidants in the future and will most likely follow him all the time. Therefore, character, talent, and virtue are particularly important, and it is best if the goals are consistent with your own.
Zhou Man was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, and her eyelids drooped again. She said: "Use it first and examine it slowly. It's just like the fourth brother hiring a man. Go to the trade route twice first. Once you get familiar with it, you'll know who he is."
How is your ability?"
Bai Shan thought so too.
As soon as his worries were settled, Bai Shan felt sleepy. He blew out the lamp, then lay down and hugged Zhou Man, tilted his head and fell asleep.
Although they were tired, when the time came the next day, they woke up without being called.
They just woke up and didn't want to get up, so they just lay on the bed with their eyes open and talked.
Zhou Man calculated the time and said: "Today I have to go to the office for a day, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and tomorrow I have to take a rest. It's great!"
Bai Shan:……
Zhou Man turned to look at him, "Will your county government let me go?"
"This time the bandit case caused a huge stir, and people from other prefectures and counties came to watch the excitement, so I decided to only have one day off on the day after the Dragon Boat Festival. During other times, I will attend the church as usual."
Zhou Man sympathized with him, "You have to pay a lot of money to the officials, right?"
Bai Shan said "Yeah", working overtime on holidays requires rewards. Of course, it's okay if you don't give them. They won't resign because of this, right?
However, Bai Shan felt that since they had worked hard and lost the opportunity to have fun with their families, they should receive some compensation.
He was very confident, "The county government will have money."
Because the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, an official document has been sent from the governor's office. He will hold a banquet in the afternoon of the Dragon Boat Festival and invite the county magistrates to attend.
Some remote county magistrates received the official documents two days earlier, and some have already set off for Qingzhou City today.
Although Beihai County is poor, the county seat is not very far from Qingzhou City. Therefore, he only received the official document today. He can go to Qingzhou City the same day.
Bai Shan also arranged this. Not only did he go on the same day, he also planned to participate in some activities in the county before going.
He said to Fangxian Cheng: "It just so happens that there are so many scribes from other places coming to our Beihai County. This Dragon Boat Festival event must be carried out well."
Fang Xian Cheng asked hesitantly: "What do you want to do, sir?"
"Is there any Nuo opera in the county?"
Fang Xiancheng touched his nose and said, "There are some folk actors who can sing and dance, but there are not many of them."
He smiled awkwardly, "It doesn't seem like you are from a big place like the capital. I'm afraid I won't appreciate their little tricks."
Bai Shan said nonchalantly: "Have fun with the people. Go and invite them here. I'll see them after I finish reviewing the case at noon."
Fang County Magistrate could only send someone out to call people who occasionally danced Nuo opera to the county government office.
So at noon, Bai Shan saw more than a dozen young and old, but only two young and strong Nuo opera teams.
The two young men were as thin as bamboo poles, leaning against the wall and looking carefree.
Bai Shan was shocked.
He has seen many Nuo operas since he was so old, but this is the first time he has seen such a Nuo opera performer.
Bai Shan looked them up and down, hesitated for a moment and asked, "What songs do you usually dance to?"
""Meng Jiangnu", and "Catching Yellow Ghosts"."
Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief. These two pieces were often performed. Not bad, not bad. He smiled and said, "Then you guys come and perform "Meng Jiangnu"."
A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd as soon as he heard this. He lowered his head and then looked up at Bai Shan with a bitter look on his face. He pinched his throat and shouted sadly to Bai Shan: "Fan Lang——"
Daji, who was standing behind Bai Shan, couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. Then he lowered his head and tried hard to hold back his laughter, almost bursting into tears.
Bai Shan faced the actor:...
Fang Xian Cheng trembled and looked at Bai Shan with a speechless expression. He just said no, right?
Bai Shan walked out of the small living room with a dazed look on his face. He came to his senses only after walking to the main courtyard. He said to Fang Xian Cheng, "Let them perform "Catching Yellow Ghosts". This one has no lyrics and is just pretending to be a ghost. It should be
Isn’t it difficult to act?”
Fang Xian Cheng: "Sir, they just said that they like to hear them sing "Meng Jiangnu" most in the countryside, so they are more familiar with "Meng Jiangnu"."
That's really screwed up.
Bai Shan rubbed his forehead and said: "There is still a day and a half. The play "Catching Yellow Ghosts" is not difficult. They can practice it now. Don't worry, the wages will not be short of them. People will reward them."
And it all belongs to them."
Fang Xian Cheng immediately asked: "Sir, are you just going to perform a play?"
Bai Shan asked sadly: "Can they perform other plays?"
Fang Xian Cheng was silent, and then said: "But one is not enough."
"What's the big deal? The main street in Beihai County is only so long. Let them continue acting all the way, back and forth." Bai Shan rubbed his forehead, "By the way, get some glutinous rice from the grain depot, and you can invite people to do it."
Make some small rice dumplings and distribute some to the people along the way, so you can have fun with the people."
He left full authority to Fang County Cheng on how to do it specifically.
Fangxian Cheng agreed.
Beihai County is not big, and there are not many people in the county. They do not need to prepare a lot. They can prepare it in one day, which is not difficult for them.
At this time, Zhou Man was also discussing with Wen Tiandong, "Let's make some medicine packets and leave them in front of the medical office for people to pick up. After taking them back, they can be made into sachets to repel dirt and insects."
Wen Tiandong had no objection at all, and immediately took some medicinal materials from the pharmacy, which were dried moxa leaves, atractylodes, kaempferia, angelica, vanilla, etc., as well as a large bag of realgar.
Zhou Man asked people to move the table and chairs to the door of the medical office, and then asked them to cut paper. She and Wen Tiandong sat on one side of the table and started wrapping medicinal materials.
There are only one or two kinds of medicinal materials packed in a paper bag. You don’t need a lot. A paper bag as big as the palm of your hand is enough. Someone passing by the medical office saw it and asked about it. Hearing that it was free, he immediately said:
"Sir, give me ten. I have a lot of people in my family."
Zhou Man only gave her one and said with a smile: "Then they have to get it themselves. I can only get one per person here."
