The sun is hanging high, it is unbearable to heat up, and the pedestrians are sparse on the street, and even the birds on the trees are too lazy to yell. They stay on the branches and hide in groups of three or three to drink tea.

"Well, this is so hot in the middle of March, why do I feel that my breathing is not smooth?" The yamen runner Liu Wu held a soap stick in one hand and wiped sweat beads on his head with his other hand.

"Who said no? But this year is really drought! It was rainy last year, and it was flooded, and I don't know how many people died. I heard from the merchants in the restaurant that there seemed to be signs of drought in the inner road. I hope our sacred mountain will not have drought, which will be fatal." Hao Yu, the yamen runner standing on the other side, said while pulling soap and fanning.

"But since Emperor Gaozu, our Tang Dynasty has been really good. This little life has become more and more enjoyable. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to marry a concubine. I wonder what trouble God has caused?" Liu Wu looked at the road in the county, thinking that the county magistrate had been going to Panshan Village for a morning, why didn't he come back yet? It made them bask in the scorching sun at this door.

"Here, come, Brother Fifth." Hao Yu had already stood up solemnly, but the corner of his mouth moved to remind Liu Wu.

Hearing Hao Yu's kind reminder, Liu Wu did not go to see if there was a shadow of a county magistrate on the road, and he stood up solemnly.

He didn't even have time to drink tea, and the sound of horse hooves from the "Tata" came from far away. The county magistrate Liu Yuanshan's horse was slapped in his face, and he didn't care to wipe it off and walked straight in.

Liu Wu took the reins of the horse and was about to take the stable. Liu Yuanshan, who had just walked into the yamen for a few steps, turned around and asked, "Where is the Ming Mansion?"

Hao Yu quickly returned respectfully: "I'll go back to Shaofu and say hello, Mingfu is using tea in the inner hall, waiting for you to come back."

Liu Yuanshan said "happy" softly and walked straight into the inner hall.

"How is the matter done in the Yuanshan?" Li Chuanjiang was drinking sour plum tea with savory taste. On this hot day, I felt sweaty as soon as I walked around. When I saw Liu Yuanshan walking in quickly, put the tea cup lightly, and stood up to greet him.

"When you go back to Ming Mansion, the matter has been completed. Ouyang Yu also agreed, but..." Liu Yuanshan frowned, feeling troubled, and didn't know whether he should say it.

"It's just something, but it's okay to say it. There is no need to avoid it between you and me." Li Chuan and Jiang signaled Liu Yuanshan to sit down first, but he didn't mean to ask slowly at all, so he asked urgently.

"It's just that although Ouyang Yu is wise, he can answer the questions with verbal answers. But after all, he is just a teenager with hair tied hair. It's dangerous to bet on a part of your future. "After a few twists in his mind, he decided to say it out. Although there are two villages in front of Panshan Village this year's annual exam, there should be no big problem. But I can't figure it out if I drag this matter to a teenager.

"It's okay, I believe Brother Wen's words. He and my old friend have been through the court for many years and have been to the court for countless people. They will not harm you and me. Since he is willing to give you and me some advice, we must be on the way forward!" Li Chuanjiang remembered his old friend Wen Daya's conversation with him after seeing the ring, and became more and more sure of his judgment.

The old man who watched the beating that day was Wen Daya. He and Li Jing and 13 others went to inspect and inspect the country in the name of "Ambassador for Promotion and Demotion". The task given to them was: to inspect the wise and unworthy local officials, visit the sufferings of the people, to comfort the old birthday stars, help the poor, and to promote talents who have been abandoned for a long time. Emperor Taizong of Tang told them: to understand the situation in depth, do a good job, and "so that the envoys will come as if I personally see it." The ring that day left some images for Wen Daya, who was the Minister of Rites, and later talked with Li Chuanjiang when they parted.

"This is the best! I don't have to worry so much." Liu Yuanshan thought that Wen Daya was running around in the court, and his experience would definitely be extraordinary.

In early spring this year, there were droughts in many places. Wen Daya was ordered to conduct a secret inspection and happened to pass by Wulang's arena to get engaged. Later, he explained to the county magistrate. Liu Yuanshan discussed some details with Li Chuanjiang and ordered Liu Wu to go to Panshan Village tomorrow to deliver news.

On the other side, after the county magistrate left, everyone returned to the main hall to sit down. The old lady smiled and said, "Halang, you are such a lucky star. We have been having a lot of joy since we came. My mother doesn't know what kind of virtue she accumulated in her previous life. She accepted you as a child in her seventies. This is fate!" After that, the old lady stroked her chest, as if she was extremely happy.

"No need to say that the lucky star is, the eighth brother's head and mind are not comparable to ordinary people. Could it be that some star has come to earth?" When Wulang saw his mother picking up the conversation, he remembered Ouyang Yu's various deeds, and felt a sigh in his heart. The family nodded frequently and said yes.

"Mom, Fifth Brother, stop praising me. I'm just a head, not a master with three heads and six arms. If you praise me, I will take the tiger tail called by Brother Seven to put it on and let you see. Some things were taught by the master before, and I dare not boast about it!" Ouyang Yu really didn't know how to explain his various thoughts and methods, so he could only find a master who was nothing.

"This time the county magistrate came here and asked me to tell my son about his affairs. What he said today, my mother can see that he is sincerely asking for help, and seems to be scruples. As for what he is concerned about, my mother doesn't know. But since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. Liu Yuanshan is not a bad person, and his official title is good on weekdays. If you can, please help him. It will be easy to meet each other in the future, and we will take care of each other." The old lady remembered what Liu Yuanshan said just now and explained Ouyang Yulai in detail.

"Mom, I know. I just don't know how to start, where to start." Ouyang Yu said with a wry smile.

"I heard your adoptive father say something when he was alive: 'It is better to travel a thousand miles than reading thousands of books.' If you don't have any ideas, go out and ask, who in the village doesn't know you now? You may have some gains when you go and ask. Besides, County Magistrate Liu also said that it doesn't matter whether you succeed or not, as long as you do your best. My son doesn't need to have such a big burden." Ouyang Yu admired the old lady from the bottom of his heart. He is really worthy of being the daughter-in-law of a giant businessman in the previous dynasty. His vision, being a person, and doing things are different.

"Mom, what you said is reasonable. When the county magistrate sends someone to explain the matter tomorrow, I will go to the village to take a look. Maybe I will gain something really good!" Ouyang Yu thought about it and said.

The next morning, the weather was still very hot. It was gone the coolness of the past few days. Even the birds and insects were like they were out of strength. It was so lazy that it made people feel bored.

Yun Niang walked out of the kitchen and wiped the smoke from her face. The breakfast was ready. The couple had nothing to do today and wanted to go up the mountain to hunt.

"Hey, Qilang, why are you still sitting there? You're going to pack up your things? Aren't you going up the mountain today?" Seeing Qilang sitting on the wooden chair in the yard, Yun Niang urged her to get up.

"Yun'er, I won't go today. It's so hot. When I arrived in the forest, I don't know how much effort it would take to catch a hare pheasant. I won't go." Qilang looked irritated and was too lazy to move his butt.

"Hey, you guy..." Before Yun Niang finished speaking, she saw a yamen runner coming to the door.

"I dare to ask if this is the Li family? Ouyang Yuke is at home? I was ordered by the county magistrate and the county magistrate to come to find him." A yamen runner in his thirties stood in front of the door and asked. This man was no one else, but Liu Wu, who complained in front of the yamen yesterday. But at this time he asked respectfully. Yesterday, he received instructions from two Minggongs, how dare he beg him?

"It's the Li family, you don't want to stay." Yun Niang turned around and walked back to the main hall after answering.

"Mom, there is a yamen runner outside the door who said that he had been ordered by the county magistrate and the county magistrate to find his eighth brother." Yun Niang looked at the old lady cleaning up in the hall and said loudly.

"Let him come in and have a good tea treat. Your eighth brother thinks he is tired recently. He will get up later today. He will ask Qilang to wake him up in his room and let him come to the main hall as soon as possible." The old lady thought for a while and said.

When Ouyang Yu heard the yamen runners coming, he thought that it must have been sent by Liu Yuanshan to talk. He got up and came to the main hall.

"Liu Wu has met Ouyang Xiaolang, and he came to pass the message on the orders of the two Minggongs." Liu Wu bowed with his fists and looked very respectfully. He lowered his head and looked at him secretly. The house has been old for a long time, and the people in the family have not seen any wealth. He just beat the tiger a few days ago and competed. Is it worth the two Minggongs treating each other like this? He made me humble and dare not be as comfortable as before.

Ouyang Yu looked up and saw that although Liu Wu was respectful, his eyes were spinning. I guess this person had a smart head.

"Brother Liu Wu doesn't have to be too polite, please sit down and talk." Ouyang Yu said with a smile.
