Chapter 42
In ancient times, county yamen were grassroots institutions, and the classes inside were roughly divided into three levels: officials, officials, and servants. Officials were county magistrates, county magistrates, chief clerks, clerks, and clerks, and ranks were seven, eight, and nine. Although the clerks were not in the ordinary, they were also appointed by the court. Officials were the clerks of the sixth house and the leaders of the third squad. These clerks were directly in contact with the people. Military officials were yamen runners who were sent to the sentencing.
Daxing and Wanping are slightly different. The county magistrate is not the seventh rank, but the sixth rank. The magistrate and the prefect are also higher than the local level, because this place is an important place in the capital, and the county is not a little higher. How can it reflect the nobleness at the foot of our capital?
The three halls of the county government offices, Fan Lin, a magistrate of Wanping County, was tall and big. Although he was a civil servant, he looked like a big and thick. He was wearing a sixth-grade egret and a replenishing clothes. He had no time to change it. He had both chest and back, his sleeves were three feet wide, and his eyes were smiling.
According to regulations, when officials wear official uniforms, civilians must kneel down to pay homage. This is the majesty of the court. The scholars do not need to kneel down to pay taxes when they see county officials. Jia Cong does not have this benefit for the time being.
I don’t know how many times I’ve knelt in the Jia Mansion. Although I feel awkward, I can only curse the evil feudal society quietly. Jia Cong was about to pay a visit, but County Magistrate Fan coughed: “Forgive, Jia Cong, I have heard of you. You are the favorite disciple of Qin Langzhong or the descendant of the Duke’s Mansion. Qin Langzhong was ordered to go on a business trip to solve my urgent need for the Yongding River flood. I don’t have to kneel down.”
"Thank you, the county master." If you can't kneel or not, Jia Cong glanced at me. Luo Xuebang sat down on his chair leisurely, graceful and gentlemanly. He looked arrogant and arrogant when he saw him in the morning. Jia Cong said to himself: "This Luo Xiucai is very good at disguising. Who is his backstage? If he is a lawsuit, he can also be treated preferentially by County Magistrate Fan..."
The profession of litigation sticks is to make money, but they are resentful, the county magistrates, and the people scold them... Well, Fang Tangjing, who is in "The Nine-rank Sesame Official", is a litigation stick, and that is hateful, right? The Dashun Law even clearly stipulates that litigation sticks cannot interfere in yamen cases. If they take charge of lawsuits, they can get rid of their fame. Luo Guoqi will be free from justice and must have a background. No wonder Jia Cong was a little afraid...
His fear was right, but he didn't know that Luo Xuezang had a lot of friends with Shilin in a positive situation. His reputation was that he had talent and good talent, gentleness and vengeance behind his back, and his nature was vicious. I couldn't see anyone throwing the Gua Pi this morning, but I knew it was Jia Cong. When I learned his identity from Fan Lin, Luo Xuezang would slowly take revenge. There were many such people in ancient times. Perhaps, if you just don't listen to a word, he would take revenge on you. A real villain is not the most terrible, the most terrible one is a hypocrite.
Qin Ye talked with Fan Linxu, and Jia Cong donated 1,000 taels of silver to Shuntian Society Warehouse. Fan Lin was overjoyed, but did not show it on his face. He stood up and said, "On behalf of the Wanping elders of this county, I would like to thank Jia Enhou (Jia She, whose courtesy name is Enhou). Tonight, the weather is bright and clear, and there is nothing better than Qin Langzhong and others. I climbed up to the top and looked far away with me? Wanping has encountered a city of war and is covered with scars. We can also pay homage to our ancestors!"
Qin Ye made a thumbs up to Jia Cong to follow. Although Jia Cong had never experienced the officialdom, his mind was clear. Magistrate Fan wanted to take the exam to compare his talents. Unlike Liu Dongsheng's appreciation, the chief examiner of the county examination was the magistrate, and the title of teachers and students would be established next year.
...
Up the city tower, Fan Lin and Qin Ye were talking in front, Luo Guoqi was in the middle, and Jia Cong was the last.
They stood within the battlement of the city wall, and could see the distant mountains, near water, villages, and Lugou Bridge. Because it was evening, the bright moon had not appeared, the stars were everywhere, and the lights of thousands of houses behind them were hidden, so they could not see clearly, and they were better at seeking quietness in the trouble.
Luo Guoqi said gracefully: "The county master, it is better to have a student send out the first couplet and make Jia Zili look at it. He must be the student's junior brother."
Luo Jingshang County Examination was also from Fan Lin Examination, so he naturally had the friendship between teachers and students. After the examination, the students passed the examination and were first-class students in the imperial examination. However, Luo Guoqi failed the two provincial examinations and did not want to waste his time, so he returned to his hometown to become a lawyer. Scholars and juren are the backbone of the local people, and most of the gentry and elders were born among them. Local officials dare not offend them. Once they offend, the government orders are difficult to implement, and can they still hold on to the black hat?
It is said that Luo Guoqi was a scholar, and Jia Congtongsheng was not the case. This move was too much. Magistrate Fan hesitated for a moment, so he nodded slightly, looked at Qin Ye and listened.
"It's better to obey your orders than respect." Jia Cong continued.
Luo Guoqi was proud, not even Tong Sheng, and thought I had given you a face? He had the intention to humiliate him. He knew Jia Cong's origin and was known as a child prodigy, but Jia Cong had no reputation outside, Qin Ye had a wide connection, and Liu Dongsheng was not easy to promote it for him. Therefore, Luo Guoqi showed his vague contempt: "Cong is the king's clan, is it in vain?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ye was displeased and scolded him?
The first couplet of Luo Zepu, who uses someone's name to talk about things, can you understand that Jia Cong is from a clan based on the grace of the king. Can you indulge yourself with the emperor's grace and ancestors? Are you not ashamed?
Moreover, the first sentence separates the person's name, while the second sentence is homophonic, Wang Zong, Wu Zong, a pun, is not so easy to match.
This is a slap in the face! A disguised slap in the face!
County Magistrate Fan did not comment.
Jia Cong smiled slightly and blurted out without thinking: "Luo Wei Xixi, will he die?"
The word Luo is separated for four nights. Are you going to die in four nights? Jia Cong scolded him even more fiercely!
Qin Ye's expression cleared a little, and he thought, "This disciple is still too sharp."
Luo Guoqi's expression changed, and he suddenly laughed and said, "Don't blame me for laughing words." In fact, he was more sure to threaten revenge.
"Where are there." Jia Cong was modest, and the two seemed to be close friends in life.
County Magistrate Fan nodded and said, "Let's write a five-character poem each."
Although today's era focuses on the four books and eight essays, and test poems, it still needs to be tested, called five-character eight-rhyme poems, with the standard rules. However, is it difficult to be able to do eight-character eight-rhyme poems? Just as the Scholars said, if you learn eight-character eight-rhyme poems, whether you write articles or poems, it is a whip, a mark, a slap, and a palm of blood. Because of the sound, rhythm, wording, and exquisiteness, there are all eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character eight-character all in the imperial examination. Cao Xueqin's good writing of "Dream of Red Mansions" is also related to his participation in the imperial examination, but Lao Cao did not go further. After attending the Qing Dynasty sect for a few days, he couldn't stand it, so he stopped doing it and went back to write a miserable and down-and-out study career. Moreover, five-character eight-character poems are just good in the imperial examination, and it is mainly to read the titles of the Four Books and Five Classics.
At present, Magistrate Fan only talks about five-character poems, without specifying sentence patterns and limiting rhymes.
Luo Guoqi floated and opened his mouth: "The clouds scattered and the breeze was warm, and the river water was still cold... I got nothing when fishing, but I had half a day of leisure. The red leaves were floating far away, and I thought about it at this time."
The whole poem is full of leisure and leisure for the rich to live. After all, scholars are scholars.
Fan Lin and Qin Ye looked at Jia Cong again.
Jia Cong's eyes were distant: "The cannon fire broke out in Lugou, and the War of Resistance Against Japan was soaring. The lion roared again now, and the ancient crossing war was a long time ago!"
County Magistrate Fan praised: "The language is concise and the intention is lofty. Langzhong Qin, you, the student, have also become a loving talent! Needless to say, next year, in February of Guiyou, I will come to Wanping to participate in the county examination and go back to review the four books."
"It was Senior Brother Luo Chengrang who gave birth to a young man." Jia Cong was polite and Qin Ye was overjoyed.
Luo Guoqi's face was extremely difficult to see. He was a scholar who was even compared by a child who was not even a child? Where did he put his face? His face was so harsh! His face hurts! Who is the red flower and who is the green leaf, clearly! Luo Xiucai was very resentful!
