You say forget it and forget it?”Chen did not have a good face on her face, she was furious with this Household Secretary who said her son was gone, it was just rude, but she dared to curse and say that her swine’s son was gone. .
“Heh, what do you village woman want?”The Household Secretary sneered, taking out his usual stance at the county office.
Zhu old man forehead are sweating, this old second family why so unintelligent it, just now it is not easy to let the other household book does not count, now you play what kind of temper ah, this is not their own home, annoyed the other household book master, the loss is still us, how this point of reason do not understand it.
“The village woman is also you can call?”Chen glared hard at that Household Book.
“This Huai Ning County still has a …… that I can t call.”That household book contemptuously swept a glance at Chen, sneered, and assumed a strong stance.
“Lord Feng, Lord Feng rest his anger.”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren crossed over the crowd and stepped forward, bowing to the Household Book, arching to the end, exchanging glances with the Household Book, and then turning around and straightening up to Chen’s face, he said with a serious face, “Sister, this is the official of the Household House in the county government office of Huaining County, Lord Feng, who is in charge of our Huaining County’s Fish Scale Atlas, the Inventory of the Money and Grain Lands, and is in charge of the collection of money and grain for the whole county. Lord Feng has come to measure the land in the lower river on official business, so be careful. If you obstruct the official work, we can’t afford to be offended.”
“Hmph.”Feng Toshu gave a hard cold snort just after his eldest uncle Zhu Shouren’s words fell, flung his sleeves and faced the sky, leaving the crowd with a lofty chin.
“Me, you then cannot call!”Feng Toushu’s attitude was even more infuriating to Chen.
“You ……”Feng Toushu’s face was heavily clouded. It was as if he was a tiger that had been provoked by a rabbit, and seemed about to impatiently reveal his fangs.
“Lord Feng rest his anger.”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren once again stepped forward to bow to Feng Toushu, “My younger siblings are country bumpkins who don’t know any better. Your Excellency do not blame.”
“Oh, it’s Eldest Uncle Zhu ah, why aren’t you at home warming up your books to prepare for the exams, I heard that Lord Liu has high hopes for Eldest Uncle Zhu ah, Eldest Uncle Zhu don’t let down Lord Liu’s trust na.”Feng Toushu as if he just saw his eldest uncle Zhu Shouren, dropped his high chin and looked at his eldest uncle Zhu Shouren in a different light.
“Borrowing from Your Excellency’s auspicious words.”Eldest Uncle Zhu Shouren once again arched his hand. His fingers made a small movement, making a look without a trace.
“Hmm.”Feng Toshu nodded heartily.
The two of them had a great sense of tacit understanding, and everything was unspoken. It was as if they had discussed it beforehand.
“Forget it, for the sake of Mr Zhu’s face this time, let’s forget about it and not bother with you village woman, next time it won’t happen again.”Feng Toushu cleared his throat. Sweeping a glance at Chen. A look of grace was given.
“Many thanks, Lord Feng.”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren thanked him repeatedly, then turned his gaze to Father Zhu and Chen, gesturing with his hands to remind him, “Second brother, younger siblings, why don’t you quickly thank Lord Feng.”
Feng Toushu put up a timely front, waiting for Zhu father and Chen to curtsy and apologise, feeling that the dismounting was almost complete. It was time for the play to cut to the chase.
“Lord Feng?”Chen sneered, then asked. “How many ranks is Lord Feng?”
How many ranks?
Chen’s this question, let put up a stand Feng Toushu could not help but cough, full of official tone of the face a little red, although he said that in the county office is also a little bit of real power, but his own canonical official, in the imperial court do not even have the establishment, which has what grade ah, not into the stream.
“Is there a governor official?”Chen asked again.
Feng Toushu’s face turned even redder, the governor is a seventh grade official, he himself that is qualified to be compared to the county magistrate lord.
“I’m a sixth ranked An Ren personally appointed by the Emperor, your magistrate lord has to salute and greet me when he sees me, yet you have a mouthful of a village woman.”Chen sneered.
Feng Toushu heard the expression on his face bright and dark, in fact, he has always known that Chen’s is the sixth grade An Ren, when the county magistrate sent people to say thank you, he is also aware of it, but he has just deliberately ignored the identity of Chen’s, intentionally, because he has just aimed to give Chen’s as well as Zhu’s father a downward spiral, so intentionally ignored Chen’s sixth grade An Ren’s identity.
Thinking, Chen’s a village woman, can have what insight, their first to come to a downward spiral, pose, estimated that this village woman scared, she herself can not recall her six products Anren’s title.
The first to come to a horse, will they be subdued, and then measure the land to say the next money and food taxes, bluffing them.
As for, Zhu Shouren’s plan can succeed or not, it does not care about their own business, but before the promised twenty two silver is a son can not be missing.
However, never thought, with Zhu Shouren said some discrepancies, this Chen’s is not a general village women.
Now listening to Chen mentioning his identity as a Sixth Grade Anren, Feng Toushu’s face changed expression a few times, then hung a stiff smile on his face, smiling but not smiling, arched his hand towards Chen, salty and salty salute, “Oh, so it’s Madam Zhu, I thought it was some village woman. My humble servant has met Mrs Zhu.”
Although Feng Toushu said he was saluting, he did not have much respect. Sixth grade An Ren and what can be done, just have a ceremonial name, and there is no real power, in vain. If Zhu Pingan was alive, it would be a different story. But now, Zhu Pingan is gone, and you don’t have much backing, and there are no other officials in your family, not even those who have a head in the county, so what do you have to worry about, so you dare to respond to this.
“Hmph.”Chen snorted coldly.
“Mrs Zhu don’t blame me, this measurement of land, my humble servant is also here on an errand. In the past, when Lord Zhu was here, Madam Zhu’s family naturally had no tax worries, but now, the next official has measured the land, so that Madam Zhu’s family’s tax payment can be calculated in the future.”Feng Toushu said with a smile on his face.
“You know my dynasty on the tax is very important, the so-called ‘dare not self-occupation, self-occupation does not take the real person, as much as not into the taken, and for the county officials a year’, overdue, underpayment omission are subject to heavy punishment, not only to confiscate the field, but also punished to do hard labour.”Feng Toushu went on to say, the expression on his face gradually turning serious.
“Paying grain and taxes is a matter of course. Now that Lord Zhu is gone, unless, your family produces another Xiu Cai or Jiu Ren, and has the qualification for tax exemption, otherwise ……”Feng Touwen sneered upwards.
When Master Zhu heard Feng Toushu’s words, he couldn’t help but turn his gaze to Father Zhu, who thought again of his eldest son Zhu Shouren’s proposal that day.
“Who said my son is gone, my swine son will definitely come back.”Chen was enraged and was all set to go up and tickle him, but was pulled back by Zhu’s father behind him.
“Lady Zhu had better save her grief. My humble servant will be busy first, after the measurements are done, when it’s time to pay the tax, I’ll send someone to inform Madam Zhu. Alright, continue measuring.”Feng Toushu spoke impatiently before raising his hand and commanding the magistrates to continue measuring.
“Paying taxes?”
“What, does my family have to pay taxes too?”
Right at this moment, a teenager’s voice rang in Feng Toushu’s ears.
“Of course, paying grain and taxes, heaven and earth ……”Feng Toushu impatiently returned, his eyes inadvertently swept to the sender, could not help but widen his eyes, the words behind could no longer be said, throat hollister outlet as if he was being pinched, the body also followed the shivering up
