Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

If I write this poem, the coffin board of Li Gefei in Licheng might not be able to hold it down, he will definitely come out to worship me as a teacher, right?

I almost made a fool of myself in front of these people!It seems that the poems of the Northern Song Dynasty and before cannot be used!So, what other poems can be plagiarized?

Ximen Qing pondered for a moment, stood up in the astonishment of everyone, strode to the desk that was set up, and started to write.

Li Qingzhao's eyes lit up, staring at Ximen Qing closely.I saw the beauty in his chest, and he wrote the poem like a snake, and he finished writing the poem on the paper in a short time...

After the banquet, Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu followed Xin Zan back to Xin's Village.The few of them rested for another night before leaving Licheng and returning to Yanggu County.

In the garden of Shuyutang, there was only a pair of words left on the desk, which were poems written by Ximenqing.

Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao stood under the flower tree, looking at the poems on the desk.

Zhao Mingcheng sighed: "I never thought that Ximen Ximen is so humble. It turns out that he is proficient in poetry!" At Zhao Mingcheng's feet, there was a torn piece of paper, which was the poem he wrote not long ago.

Li Qingzhao didn't speak, but still looked at the poems on the paper obsessively, and said softly in his mouth:

"Bu Suanzi Yongmei

Wind and rain send spring back,

Flying snow welcomes spring.

It's a cliff of hundreds of feet of ice,

There are still flowers and branches.

Beauty does not compete for spring,

Only report the coming of spring.

When the mountain flowers are in full bloom,

She laughed in the bushes. "

What kind of person is this Ximen official?

Chapter 37 Back to Yanggu County

The red sun was rising in the east, and the entire Xin Mansion was busy.After Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting, and Shi Yong took their servants to pack their luggage and presents from Xin and Zhao, they bid farewell to Xin Zan and his wife and set off to return to Yanggu County.Invited by Ximen Qing, the hero Luan Tingyu also traveled with him all the way to the south of Yunzhou.

After bidding farewell to Xin Zan who had been seeing him off at Changting, Ximen Qing and others rode their horses south and left Licheng soon.

Not long on the road, Luan Tingyu, who was walking in the front, pointed her finger and turned to Ximen Qing and said, "Your official, Ximen, who is that? She actually came so far early in the morning to meet with the official." See you off?"

Ximen Qing looked up and saw that there was a big willow tree beside the avenue ahead, and a carriage was parked under the willow tree.Standing beside the carriage was a beautiful woman, but wasn't it Li Qingzhao, a layman from Yi'an?

After Li Qingzhao saw Ximen Qing, he waved to him and signaled Ximen Qing to come to her side.

How did this woman come to see me off so far away?Ximen Qing rode forward, and when he came to the carriage, he immediately jumped off the horse and saluted Li Qingzhao with fists.Li Qingzhao smiled sweetly and returned a salute to Ximen Qing.

After the two stood under the willow tree and exchanged a few words, Li Qingzhao took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Ximen Qing.

Li Qingzhao said that after appreciating Ximen Guanren's poems yesterday, he wrote a poem about plum blossoms overnight and specially presented it to Ximen Guanren.If Ximen officials are free in the future, I hope to go to Qingzhou City Return Hall for a while.

Ximen Qing took the roll of paper, put it in his arms, and promised to visit Qingzhou in the future.Seeing that Jiao Ting and others were walking away slowly, Ximen Qing bid farewell to Li Qingzhao with fists in his hands.Riding on his horse and whipping his whip, he quickly caught up with Jiao Ting's team, drifting farther and farther under the rising sun, and disappeared from Li Qingzhao's sight.

Li Qingzhao stood under the willow tree for a long time, until Ximen Qing was no longer in sight, then got on the car and returned to Shuyutang in Licheng.

Ximen Qing rode on the road for a while, and remembered the poems Li Qingzhao sent.He took out the roll of paper from his pocket, unfolded it for a closer look, and saw that it read:

"Jade House Spring

The red crisp is willing to crush the buds,

Exploring the southern branch to open all over the place,

I don't know how much fragrance it contains,

But see the hidden meaning.

The Taoist is haggard at the bottom of the spring window,

Stuffy and dry, worrying and not leaning,

If you want to have a drink, come and rest,

The wind may not be able to afford tomorrow. "

Ximen Qing scratched his head, but he didn't understand what the word meant, so annoyed, he almost wanted to throw it into the stream beside the road.Then I thought about it, this was written by the ancient poet specially for me as a gift to Ximen Daguan, so I have the right to accept it as a souvenir!Ximen Qing put the poem into his arms again.

After leaving Licheng, Ximenqing's team went all the way to Xiaoxing and stayed overnight, heading southwest.After passing through Changqing and Pingyin counties successively, it entered Yanggu County.

On the way, Ximen Qing and others also inquired about the Qingzhou bandit Yu Baosi, but there was no trace of this bandit along the way.After the first battle in Qizhou, Yu Baosi doesn't know where he is hiding now, and he doesn't know whether he will go to Lingzhou to seek refuge in Zengtou City in a few years.

This trip was originally to go north to Zengtou City to make friends with the hero Shi Wengong, but how did he know that he missed Shi Wengong unexpectedly when he got there.But what was even more unexpected was that in Qizhou, he happened to meet the hero Luan Tingyu again.

Along the way, Ximenqing had many long talks with Luan Tingyu, and finally persuaded Luan Tingyu to join his camp, and temporarily served as the head coach in Ximenbao, teaching Zhuang Ke martial arts.

After entering Yanggu County, Ximen Qing did not return to the county seat, but went directly to Ximen Fort outside the city.The newly recruited heroes should not show up in the county too much at this time, it is better to arrange to live in Ximenbao first.

After entering the fort, without taking a break, Ximenqing recruited the head teacher Hong to meet the newly recruited Luan Tingyu and Shi Yong. After everyone met, there was another lively scene.

That night, Ximen Qing held a grand banquet for several heroes, and warmly entertained them. Naturally, they were very drunk again.

On the second day after returning to Ximenbao, Ximenfu, the branch supervisor of Ximenqing, arranged the daily life of several heroes including Luan Tingyu, said goodbye to these heroes, and returned to Yanggu County alone.

After entering Yanggu County, Ximenqing didn't go back to the mansion, but went to the county government for a while.After leaving Yanggu County these days, there must be a backlog of difficult lawsuits, and we, the officials of Ximen, need to talk about things and make money from them!This huge Yanggu County cannot be separated from me, the official Ximen!

Ximenqing met with the county magistrate in the county government office and had a detailed talk with him.Ximenqing reported to the county magistrate, saying that he had contacted the Zhu, Li, and Hu manors in Dulonggang, Yanggu County, and trained the township soldiers together. Thieves.

Recently, thieves and bandits on Liangshan have become more and more rampant, and the magistrate of Yanggu County, which is close to Liangshan, is worrying about this matter.Now hearing that Ximen Qing took the initiative to take care of this matter to share his worries, the county magistrate was overjoyed, and naturally relied more on Ximen Qing.

In ancient times, the government usually only managed the county, and the governance under the county had to rely on the support of various local forces such as local clans and manor landlords.Ximen Qingju, a wealthy local family, was able to help out, and the county magistrate was happy to see the success.

After reporting to the county magistrate, Ximenqing and the county official and others made arrangements, and then left the county office and went straight to the herbal medicine shop in front of the county.

Ximen Zhong, the old supervisor, was working hard in the crude medicine shop, when he saw Ximen, who had been out for a long time, step into the crude medicine shop, he couldn't help but shed a few old tears.

Ximen Qinghaosheng greeted Ximenzhong and the old guys in the store, then called Ximenzhong to the inner room, and asked him about the recent business of the raw medicine store.

Ximen Zhong flipped through the ledger and reported it to Ximen Qing in detail.Since the last time Ximen Qing assigned him to hire a few doctors to consult and treat diseases, the herbal medicine shop's business has been better than before.According to Ximen Qing's distribution, Ximen Zhong reduced or exempted some poor people who knew the basics of their decoction and medicine expenses, which won Ximen Qing a lot of praise.

Because Ximen was loyal to calculations and took good care of his daily life, these decoctions donated did not bring much loss to the Herbal Medicine Shop.On the contrary, the good reputation of herbal medicine shops has brought them more people who seek medical advice.

Ximen Qing looked at the gray hair of the loyal servant in front of him, and was also very moved in his heart.If it weren't for the hard work of these loyal and diligent people, how could I be that high-ranking official easily and unrestrainedly?

Knowing that the crude medicine shop is operating according to his own ideas, Ximen Qing is also relieved.He told Ximen Zhong to go back to the mansion as soon as possible, so that he didn't have to work too hard, and then left the herbal medicine shop.
