Chapter 3487 Extra Mr. Zhuang 3

Mr. Zhuang himself sat in the study for a long time. Finally he sighed, put the dried and knotted brushes on the shelf, tore up the half-written letter and threw it into the brazier at his feet.

He got up and put all the books into the rattan box, then went out to say goodbye to a few friends.

As an aide to the governor, Mr. Zhuang naturally knew many people. Those with lower official positions than the governor, especially the subordinate officials of the governor's office and the magistrates of the counties below, were all very polite to Mr. Zhuang.

After all, he was very valued by Governor Du, and sometimes he could influence the allocation of the counties below him with just one word.

So he has many friends, but not many who can let him say goodbye.

Mr. Zhuang only found a few friends to say goodbye.

They were all surprised and asked: "You are being valued, why do you want to leave?"

Mr. Zhuang gave a wry smile. Since they are good friends, he did not hide it from them and said: "I can't stay here anymore. Dalang's mentality is not right now. If he stays here any longer, he will be finished."

Friends were very sorry and said, "The governor values ​​you very much. There is news from above that the governor may be promoted in the next two years. If you follow me then, you can further use the governor's influence to become a county magistrate. If you step back, you can be by the governor's side."

There are plenty of opportunities for famous people..."

Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said: "I can't ruin my child just for my own future..."

One person suggested: "Otherwise, let my sister-in-law take Dalang back to her hometown, and you stay."

Mr. Zhuang smiled bitterly, "The child is in a bad situation now. If she can't correct herself, she may take a detour in the future. Raising a child is a matter for two people. How can I push the child to her?"

"She has always been gentle, but I'm afraid she won't be able to control the child. What's more," Mr. Zhuang paused and said: "The Du family's child insulted me. The elder one did it for me as a father, Zhang Mu. How could I ignore him?"

Instead of paying for it, what if you send him away and stay in the Du family?"

Mr. Zhuang expressed the dissatisfaction of the Du family for the first time, "Assassin Du is not worthy yet."

The friends sighed after hearing this, and although they felt it was a pity, they still said: "It is true that you treat him as a national scholar, so you can repay him as a national scholar. Since he has no respect for you, it is useless to stay here. It is better to find another good man."

host."

"Yes, with your ability, it's only a matter of time before you get ahead. It's just a matter of time to find another master."

"I heard that a new envoy has arrived in Yizhou. He has a good reputation in the court. Why not give it a try? Then Yizhou is not far from your hometown of Mianzhou."

Zhuang Xun's expression dimmed, and he shook his head and said, "I have promised Governor Du that I will never be an aide to others again."

Friends were surprised and asked, "Why do you want to make such a promise?"

People like Zhuang Xun who have obvious stains on their bodies can no longer enter the official position through normal imperial examinations and can only take a side path. When there is no money and no power, working as an aide is the most effective way.

They knew that Zhuang Xun had always wanted to get ahead, firstly for his own ambitions, and secondly to clear up his own grievances.

Entering the officialdom has always been his goal.

Mr. Zhuang smiled at them and said, "So I can't go to Yizhou, but you can give it a try."

He said: "Chief Du is a narrow-minded person, and there is no virtuous person to help him in the back house. I am afraid that the good times will not last long, so you should leave Longzhou as soon as possible."

Several friends looked at each other and were secretly shocked. They all knew that Mr. Zhuang was used as a reference for many decisions of the governor's office. Because Mr. Zhuang was admonishing him, Governor Du rarely made mistakes. His performance evaluation in recent years has been so good.

nice.

Now that Mr. Zhuang is gone, with the character shown by Governor Du in the past few years...

Several friends sighed and agreed.

As soon as Mr. Zhuang left, several people sighed: "Everyone knows that the greedy man in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion will hold on to him and never let go if there is any benefit. Even if a hedgehog passes in front of him, two of his roots will be plucked out."

"Prince, Xunmei has often warned Governor Du about this matter before. I think what happened this time was probably the slanderous one from the back house."

"What's the point of talking about this now? If Governor Du had a good heart, how could he be blown away by the pillow breeze?" One person said: "I think they are the same species. Neither husband nor wife should blame the other."

"Without Xunmei, let me see what happens to his performance evaluation this year."

"This year can still pass, but it may not happen next year. With the characters of these two people, no one can restrain them. They are just afraid that trouble will happen. It will be better if they are not discovered by then. Once they are discovered..."

"That's all, that's all. Let's not talk about this spoiler. Xunmei is leaving, and we are also looking for some good things for him to practice."

"Whatever good thing it is, either give him a book or give him money. The former is what he loves. The latter, since he can't be a staff member and he will have to worry about his livelihood in the future, so giving him money is the most appropriate thing."

Mr. Zhuang's family was not rich. When he was driven out of the capital, he had little money. They went all the way back to his hometown in the south. When they approached Mianzhou, he felt that he had no face to see his ancestors, relatives and friends, so he turned back. Finally,

Stopped in Longzhou.

He became seriously ill here, and the family had no food at that time. It was his wife who went out to wash people's clothes, so Mr. Zhuang was not stopped from taking medicine, but they did live in poverty for a while.

Later, Mr. Zhuang found work copying books and doing accounting work for others, and his life gradually became better. It was not until he worked as an aide to the governor that his family began to have savings, but they were not much.

At this time, you have to move. Returning to your hometown is an expense, and settling back home is another big expense.

Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Ji calculated their accounts. Seeing Mrs. Ji's sad face, he took her hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I will find a job when I return home."

He smiled and said: "I can read and count, so it's easy to find a job."

Zhuang Dalang on the side suddenly said: "You can be the accountant."

Mr. Zhuang turned to look, and Dalang Zhuang lowered his head and whispered: "Father is very good at being an accountant."

In his memory, the period when his father worked as a bookkeeper was the happiest and happiest time for him. Every day, his father would come home on time, and his mother would prepare meals. Every now and then, there would be a meat dish that they liked.

He goes to school every day. Both his classmates in the school and his friends in the alley all like and admire him. Even his father's employer is kind to him when he sees him and will give him snacks and candies.

He likes his father to be the accountant.

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Look for it when you go back."

They packed up their things quickly, and by the time the governor's office and subordinate officials knew about it, Mr. Zhuang was already leaving.

When Wei Shenjun learned about this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he reached out to grab someone, "Mr. Zhuang doesn't work in the Governor's Mansion anymore?"

The other party knew his plan as soon as he looked at him, "Do you want to invite him?"

Wei Shenjun chuckled and said: "I have long admired Mr. Zhuang's talent and felt that he would be incompetent by being a staff member. There happens to be a lack of a chief clerk in the army. If he doesn't mind, he can come to the army and give it a try."
