The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Second more.

——

The layout of the official temple is one large, two small and three courtyards.

The courtyard in the middle is the largest and is used by Xunzhen. The courtyards on both sides are smaller, one is where Xiang Zuo and Zuo Shi work, and the other is where wanderers stop.

——Yuyu is dispatched by the county and cooperates with the county and township to maintain public order. It is like a county-level security inspector, who is usually responsible for more than one township. Like a smaller township, a wanderer may be responsible for two or three townships, so It is necessary to constantly inspect the townships and pavilions. Strictly speaking, he does not have a fixed office location, but people are not iron-clad, and it is impossible to inspect every day, so he has a small courtyard in the township. Even work with a break.

Le Jin entered the main courtyard from the back door, and saw a saber officer wearing a crown and black clothes just came out of the hall, and walked out of the courtyard with his head lowered. Le Jin glanced at it, turned to the front of the hall, and climbed the steps. There was only Xun Zhen in the hall, kneeling in front of the desk, writing on a slip of paper. Le Jin took off his shoes at the door, gave Xun Zhen a bow, and said, "Zhenzhi, are you busy?"

"Wen Qian? ..., are you up?"

"Ashamed, ashamed. I'm a little tired from the journey these days, and I've slept until now."

"I know you're tired. Yesterday, after you fell asleep, your snoring was so loud that I couldn't sleep for less than two hours. There are cakes and soups left on the stove for you to eat. Is it?"

Le Jin sat down on a couch beside the desk and replied, "Last night, I drank a little too much. I had a headache and no appetite to eat. When I was washing my hands, I drank some well water from a ladle. The well water in the courtyard is good, sweet and delicious." He asked, "When I first entered the courtyard, I saw a small official go out with his head down and absent-minded. Is there any embarrassing official business?"

Xun Zhen didn't answer first, and said, "Wait for me for a moment, and wait for me to finish writing this letter." Dip the pen tip in ink, and carefully continued to write a few lines on the bamboo slip, one stroke at a time, and the last two lines were written separately. Said: "I bow down to the ground and worship again", "Follow the feet of the loyal horse".

Le Jin sat beside the couch and couldn't see what he wrote, but he could see the general format and asked, "Who is this writing to?"

"Yang Zhai has a friend whose surname is Xi and Zhong. I'll write him a letter and invite him to visit the village when he has time." Xun Zhen washed the pen, put it on the pen stand to dry, and put away the slips. The seal was sealed and put aside first, and then he took up the question from Le Jin just now, saying, "It's not an embarrassing official business. The official just now was Huang Xiang, the village chief of the hometown, and he came to say goodbye to me. "

"Farewell?"

"There is a big surname in this township, the Gao family. Huang Xiang had a conflict with Gao's family, and there was a dispute, so he went to the county lord two days ago and asked for his resignation. The county lord arranged for him to go elsewhere."

It is not uncommon for local surnames to force away a chief official, let alone a village chief. Le Jin was not surprised. He nodded and said, "So that's the case." He asked Xun Zhen, "Then when this Huang Xiang leaves, isn't there a vacancy for the village chief?"

"Huang Xiang brought the order from the county lord and asked me to recommend someone."

"Is there a choice?"

Xun Zhen put her hand on the table, leaned slightly towards Le Jin, and said with a smile, "I think Wen Qian is good for you. Would you like to be a county chief?"

"Zhenzhi, don't laugh."

Xun Zhen laughed and said: "I am indeed joking. Wen Qian, you are both civil and military, knowledgeable, and brave, how can you be a village chief who fights for food? ... I told you yesterday, I have something to discuss with you today, do you remember?"

"I'm here for this matter. Zhenzhi, what do you want to discuss with me?"

"How many days are you going to stay with me? When are you going to leave?"

Le Jin thought to himself, "Why does this sound like chasing people? But it doesn't sound like the style of chastity." Xun Zhen had always treated him warmly, and suddenly asked such a sentence, no wonder he was puzzled. He said: "I was going to stay a few more days. But if you are inconvenienced, I can leave in the afternoon."

"Eh! That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask you, who else is in your family?"

"My parents are all there, and I have a brother."

"Oh! ..., you still have an older brother." Xun Zhen thought, "Don't you remember that Le Jin has an older brother?" Then she thought, "Maybe she died early, maybe it's just an ordinary person, so I don't know about it. The history book does not contain it." He thought again, "It's a good thing that he has an eldest brother, and it's good for what I want to say next." He smiled, "Wen Qian, I just asked you if you are interested in the post of county sergeant. But one thing is not a joke."

"what?"

"I really want you to stay. . . . Would you like to stay in this hometown and serve me as Sasuke?"

"Stay..." Le Jin was completely unprepared. Hearing Xun Zhen say such a sentence, he was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Stay in this hometown?"

"You can also see that I am a township now, and although I rule only one township with more than ten thousand people, it is not easy to manage well. The few people around me, such as Ayan, Xiaoxia, etc., Most of them have the courage and do not understand the documents, Wen Qian, you are both civil and military, I really want you to stay and help me."

"This,……."

While paying attention to Le Jin's expression, Xun Zhen pretended to laugh and said, "Wen Qian, I'm not forcing you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to! I also know that this village is too small, I'm afraid it won't be able to keep you. This great talent. If you have any ideas, feel free to say them."

Le Jin has been crowned, and it is the age to be a professional. He also had the idea of ​​becoming an official when he was in the village, but because he was not a high-born, and he had no famous teacher as a signboard, he was silent and unknown to the villagers. Although he had this intention, no one recommended him.

However, when he heard Xun Zhen's words at this time, he was not happy, but hesitated.

He thought: "Zhenzhi treats people kindly and sees me like old friends. Although we haven't been together for a long time, the two of us are opportunistic in our words and congenial. With his personality, if I stay, he will not hurt me. And since the eldest brother is at home, I don't have to worry about my parents. From these two perspectives, it's okay for me to stay here. .

"Only Zhenzhi now has an order for the township, and to govern the land of another township, there are only five or six officers, and most of them are fighting food and assistant historians. - What can I do if I stay? Zuofei, I wish, Zuo Shi is not as good as Xiang Zuo. Is it possible to be a guest who has a leisurely meal?" This is not what he wants.

Although he was born in a poor family, he dare not say that he has far-reaching ambitions, but he also has some ambitions. When he was very young, he envied the spectacular scenes of the county magistrate and the county governor traveling. Black Ribbon, for the county's guard, I wish it was enough!" With such an ambition, he definitely didn't want to be a guest at leisure.

He pondered and said nothing. Xun Zhen didn't rush him, just waited quietly for him to make a decision. He was thinking, and Xun Zhen was also thinking.

Xun Zhen noticed his expression and thought: "Wen Qian came back sooner or later, just in time for me to move to the township Youzhi. If I were still in Fanyangting, I wouldn't dare to say this about leaving him. Today, I have rank for the township. Although the township is small, none of the clerks in the monastery are in the stream, but at least I'm "in the stream" and can wear a seal. Some 'powers' can be regarded as the official start of the official career. More importantly, with my 'Xun' name, maybe I can impress him?"

Le Jin just pondered, his expression changed. Xun Zhen thought again: "I also know that it is a bit reckless to speak rashly today, but if I can't keep him this time, his home is in Yanzhou, hundreds of miles away from Yingyin, and I want to see him again after he leaves. I don't know when."

In future generations, not to mention hundreds of miles, thousands of miles are also coming, but in the present, a few hundred miles is a long distance. Just like Le Jin's funeral this time, he walked on foot for more than half a month, even on horseback, for several days. ——If I can't keep him this time and let him go, the next time we meet is really far away.

Xun Zhen's reckless move was also a last resort. He sighed and thought, "I'm just helpless."

When Le Jin thought about it at first, his body relaxed without realizing it, then he straightened his waist again, his brows stretched out, and turned to look at Xun Zhen. Xun Zhen knew that he had made a decision, with a smile on her face, she was worried, and asked, "Wen Qian, how are you thinking?"

"Jin and Xunjun, although this is only the second time we meet, but Xunjun treats me like a heartless heart, donating money and horses, **** and pushing food, every detail. Jun's kindness and kindness cannot be ignored by Jin. " Le Jin's words were serious and formal. Xun Zhen roughly guessed his decision. Rao was deeply saddened and couldn't hold back his joy. He smiled happily, "Wen Qian, did you promise to stay?"

Le Jin nodded, bowed down on the couch, and said, "Although Jin is short-witted and mediocre, he will not abandon him, and I would like to serve you."

Xun Zhen was overjoyed, jumped up from the couch, walked around the desk, helped him up, and said with a smile, "I only hate that I met Wen Qian too late!"

Yue Jin took so long to make a decision, and Xun Zhen knew that he must have weighed the pros and cons and fought a lot of contradictions. However, he didn't even think that he would be able to bring joy into the waist with a single word. No one is stupid. If there is no benefit, who would be willing to agree with each other? ——It's enough to know these things, no need to say them. He thought: "Wen Qian agreed to stay, as I expected, 80% of the reason should be because of my Xun clan's name. . . . Having a background from an aristocratic family really takes a huge advantage."

He guessed a good point~www.novelmt.com~ In the end, it was his "Xun's" origin that made Le Jin decide to stay.

The Xun clan is a famous family in the world, and the current county governor has a clan relationship with them, and Le Jin recalled that Zuo Shi, who reported the news yesterday, said: The county lord also appreciates Xun Zhen, and he deliberately promoted Xun Zhen before he made great achievements. For the master of the door. ——Not only is the county governor for his family's marriage, but also has the appreciation of the county magistrate. He was born in a famous family, and is a weak and handsome man. Although Xun Zhen is only in the township now, he has an unlimited future.

Looking at Le Jin in turn, he came from a humble family with no background or background. Instead of struggling to find opportunities, it is better to attach himself to the big tree of the Xun family. ——This is also a common method used by scholars from poor families. The old officials were the lower officials of the past; the disciples were mostly poor men who came up to them. Once you connect with aristocratic families, you will not only easily gain fame, but also easily get opportunities in various recommendations such as Xiaolian and Maocai.

The aristocratic family is powerful because of the large number of disciples, and the disciples have grown steadily because of their attachment to the family. For both, the best of both worlds.

Xun Zhen and Le Jin met and smiled.

After Xun Zhen was apprehensive, she suddenly relaxed. Holding Le Jin's arm, she looked at him with a smile, a little smug, and she thought with a sense of accomplishment, "Isn't it as difficult to recruit a 'famous general' as I imagined?" Thoughtfully, he turned his head to read the letters written on the desk, his smile lingered for a while, and his pride suddenly flew away, "Alas, it's not difficult to recruit a 'famous general', it's because Le Jin came from a lonely background.  …, recruiting a 'strategist' It's so hard!"

Since he and Xi Zhicai met once at Xun Yu's house, they have never seen each other again. Although they exchanged letters with each other, they always felt that there was a gap between the two of them. Xi Zhicai was always polite. . He wanted to further develop the relationship between the two, but he couldn't, which was really a headache for him.

Someone came in from outside the hospital, walking in a hurry.
