Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 491
[Chapter 491 The Wild Fungus That Can Sing (14)]
Aunt Niu thinks about Shan Ling, it’s not that Shan Ling didn’t hear it, Shan Ling is used to the way of talking like Aunt Niu, so she smiled and said, “It’s okay, Aunt Niu, I’m just a little tired, I’ll be fine after a little rest. ”
Then…” Aunt Niu originally wanted Shanling to eat the potatoes, but seeing that Shanling was not in good health, she said, “Forget it, forget it, stop eating, come on, I’ll help you to rest on the bed.” A while.” Saying that, he supported Shan Ling and walked towards the bed.
Shan Ling quickly thanked: “Thank you Aunt Niu.”
“What do you mean by these polite words? We don’t talk about it.” After Aunt Niu helped Shan Ling to the bed, she covered Shan Ling with a quilt and asked, “You , don’t think about anything. Although your son is gone, isn’t there still me? You have a good rest, and I will bring you something to eat in the evening.”
“Aunt Niu…” Shan Ling looked at Aunt Niu gratefully. .
Aunt Niu walked out with a smile, and helped Shan Ling to close the door after going out… Shan Ling smiled a little, afraid that she couldn’t help herself, that’s all, she could only wait until Wu Yong made arrangements to pick him up. , otherwise she can’t leave this place rashly.
Two days later, Wu Yong came to Qishui County smoothly. Once the affairs of taking office were completed, other matters followed. At this time, Wu Yong realized that it is not so easy to be in charge of the county magistrate. There were countless businessmen who ate. When Master Huang was reporting the items one by one, Wu Yong frowned. If he went, he might end up with some words in the mouths of others in the future. If he didn’t go, he would How can a newly arrived county magistrate learn about the local situation? After thinking about it, Wu Yong didn’t know what to do.
Master Huang was thinking, but he didn’t hear Wu Yong’s reaction. He raised his head and asked, “Sir, do you want to go or not?”
Wu Yong turned around and sat down, and asked, “Do you think I will go or not?”
“This…” Master Huang is already two masters, so he is naturally a good person. This is why Wu Yong wants to keep him. For some things, he has to rely on Master Huang. This reason is clear to Wu Yong and Master Huang. , so after analyzing the pros and cons, he replied, “Go.”
Wu Yong smiled and asked, “Why go?”
“Master, if you want to manage Qishui County well, you will naturally go there. Although they are business people, it is inevitable that there are some forces behind them. No matter which way the adults choose to go, it is better to go.” Master Huang said to the newcomer. The magistrate didn’t know much about it. Seeing that Wu Yong was young, he naturally spoke more casually, but he did not indulge himself. The reason why he said this was because since ancient times, officials have been divided into three types. , because everything should be seen clearly and carefully; second, it is difficult for corrupt officials, even corrupt officials, the difficulty is to know what to accept, what to do, who can offend and who can’t, and who to step on. Side; three, mediocrity, people in the world think that the grass is easy, but in fact it is wrong. To be a grass, you need to know how to see the wind and rudder, and when you offend who you want, you have to think about it.
Wu Yong nodded and replied, “Then listen to the master.”
“I’ll make arrangements when I’m young.” Master Huang is smart because he knows what to do. The reason why he is still alive is to do whatever the master tells him to do. He just reminds him if he has anything to do, and never mixes it up. In this way, the money is collected and the people are fine. This is the shrewdness of his master Huang.
After Wu Yong watched Master Huang go out, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He said that there are three fires for the new official to take office. Where should he burn these three fires? If the fire is not good, there will really be problems, that is, as Master Huang said, he must first think about what kind of official he will be, a corrupt official? Wu Yong is disdainful, but if he is to be an honest official, how should an honest official start? This made Wu Yong a lot of trouble. Before he could think about it, Master Huang replied to the schedule for the evening. What confuses Wu Yong is that the first drowning of muddy water is to drink flower wine. Wu Yong doesn’t like that kind of fireworks place, but he has already asked Master Huang to arrange it, so he has to go, so he has to agree.
The sedan chair carried Wu Yong to Linxian Pavilion, which is a famous fireworks place in Qishui County. This place is built on water, with pavilions and courtyards. The pool is full of lotus leaves. The heart of every guest who enters the Immortal Pavilion will bloom this night. During the banquet, the merchants complimented Wu Yong for his youth and talent, and praised Wu Yong to the ground. After a few cups, Wu Yong was a little invincible.
“Master Wu…” The merchants wanted to persuade, but saw Master Huang make a gesture, so they stopped.
Wu Yong was able to come out of the pavilion quietly and enjoy the scenery of the lake. The lotus flowers were fragrant in summer. From time to time, a few fireflies flew by. Wu Yong couldn’t help laughing: “No wonder this place is called Linxian Pavilion, it really makes people feel like they are close to fairyland. .” With that, a gust of wind came, and the fragrance of the lotus was full, which made Wu Yong’s body feel comfortable.
At this time, there was a woman’s laughter…
Wu Yong turned his head and saw a woman in a gorgeous dress standing in the adjacent pavilion. Well, this is the first time Wu Yong has seen such a beautiful woman besides his own mother.
“Girl…you…”
“Young master is being polite. My name is not a girl, but Yingying.” The woman was looking at Wu Yong, and when she heard Wu Yong speak just now, she rolled up the blinds to look at her, but she didn’t expect to be a delicate person. The son, he took the initiative to talk.
Hearing the woman’s name, Wu Yong said dumbly: “Yingying is in the water, the pulse is speechless…” Looking at the girl’s reflection in the water, it turned out to be like a fairy and a fantasy, and Wu Yong was suddenly uneasy.
The woman named Yingying laughed: “Young master is so talented, why don’t you come and have a drink.” After speaking, the woman put down the bead curtain and sat back in the pavilion.
Wu Yong seemed to be fascinated, but he actually walked over like this. Between the wine glasses, the breeze helped him, and he was so drunk that he fell into the woman’s eyes… When he
woke up the next day, Wu Yong had a headache. Cracked, opened his eyes, but he was in his own room, and next to him was Master Huang. “Master Huang…”
“What’s your order?” Master Huang had been waiting all morning, but he didn’t expect Wu Yong to wake up now.
Wu Yong shook his head, sat up and asked, “Why am I here?” “My
lord drank too much last night and fell drunk in the pavilion. It was Master Fu who came back.” Master Huang replied with a smile.
Wu Yong vaguely remembered that he drank a lot, remembered the woman last night, and hurriedly asked, “Where
is Miss Yingying?” “Miss Yingying?” Master Huang looked at Wu Yong in confusion, wondering why Wu Yong suddenly asked about a girl Come on, although I went to drink flower wine last night, there was no girl named Yingying at all. It was not the first time for Master Huang to go to that place, so the girl I was accompanying was familiar to me. Wu Yong asked this question, I was confused by Master Huang.
At this time, Wu Yong also recalled the romantic relationship between himself and Yingying. His clothes were all gone, and his love was silent. Thinking of these, Wu Yong said a little embarrassedly: “Last night, I really drank too much.”
“My lord was drinking yesterday . More.” Master Huang replied.
Wu Yong was afraid that Master Huang would see him like that, so he asked tentatively, “When you found me last night, did you see anyone else?”
“Master, no.”
“Really no?”
“No.” Master Huang shook his head, thinking that Wu Yong looked a little weird. How did he know that Wu Yong met last night, but Wu Yong asked, and he was curious. “Did your lord meet someone last night?”
“No.” Wu Yong shook his head and got up to get dressed. How could he tell his private affairs? Besides, the woman who stayed in that place should not be a woman from a good family. In that case, wouldn’t it hurt your reputation to say it? Although Wu Yong did that, he was not that stupid. It’s just that since last night, Wu Yongzhen has really been interested in the woman named Yingying. He originally wanted to pick up his mother, but he completely forgot about picking up his mother. It is very close, and I often come and go to the Linxian Pavilion. To his disappointment, he went there several times and didn’t see Yingying, which made Wu Yong feel uncomfortable and didn’t enjoy drinking. The people below naturally saw that Wu Yong had something on his mind. They all wanted to curry favor with the new county magistrate, so they tried their best to make Wu Yong happy. The beauties and fine wines didn’t work, so they had doubts, but no one knew it was. What’s going on, or Wu Yong took the initiative to ask the prostitute: “Can you have a girl named Yingying here?”
“Yingying…” The old man’s face was embarrassed, but he quickly put on a smile and replied: “Yes, sir, you wait, I will call you.”
After speaking, the old man shook his fat body, went out. The others looked at each other and smiled, and they all knew the crux of the problem, especially Master Huang, who seemed to have a bottom line in his heart. Thinking of what Wu Yong asked that day, Master Huang knew that Wu Yong must have been tempted by a woman named Yingying. After a while, the prostitute walked in with a woman in red and introduced, “Sir, this is Miss Yingying.”
“Yingying?” Wu Yong knew at a glance that the woman in red was not the woman from that night. Looking again, this woman was a little familiar, and he finally remembered, what is this woman called Yingying, and the day before yesterday, she was called Chunhong, presumably the old prostitute changed her name temporarily to deceive him, Wu Yong was a little unhappy. “Nonsense, she’s not Yingying.”
“This…” The old man’s face was very ugly. She knew that she had offended the newly arrived county magistrate, but if she answered no at the time, she would also be offended. The master gave himself a wink, and the old bustard understood that look, so he quickly slipped out.
No one else dared to mention it, so they sent the woman in red first, and only persuaded Wu Yong to drink alcohol, but they all took Yingying to heart…
