Chapter 50 Justice
Wu Song
Wu Song sat on the second floor and looked at the noisy crowd below, with a lot of emotion in his heart. He gradually understood the reason why Shen Qi was rude to Wu Da, which was completely derived from a habit, a habit of driving and enslavement.
Everyone has this kind of evil idea in their hearts, just whether it can be suppressed or not. Of course, most people can't suppress this evil idea when they get to this position, but Wu Song can.
What is the new world and what should the new world be like? The new world should be neither reincarnated by Wu Da or Shen Qi, because they are not afraid of each other, because they are in an equal position. Yes, no one is afraid of anyone, and even others should not be afraid of me. This is an environment maintained by all people, an environment of justice. This environment does not rely on force, but only on a ruling on the stable structure of the world.
Can this world be realized? Wu Song didn't know. This is his ideal, no, it should be said to be a dream. It's too far away.
Pull the idea back to reality. There have been more and more guests at the scene, because the time has come, and official figures have begun to appear. The officials in the county government, even the heads of the surrounding counties or sent representatives, were present one after another. These are no longer the people that Wu University can invite. It was Wu Er who specially dispersed his posts. Wu Song couldn't continue to stay on the second floor and get up and go downstairs to greet everyone.
"Congratulations, Wu Dutou. I don't know when I can see my sister-in-law."
"That's right, Wudu's head must be the national fragrance."
These official people basically don't talk about the topic of Guihua Building, but just talk about Wu Song. Wu Song kept explaining and invited these people to the first or second floor.
After a while, I heard someone in front of the door: "Yanggu County Magistrate has arrived!"
Wu Song was also stunned. Because he did not post to the county magistrate, it is really not appropriate for a small capital to get married and notify the county magistrate. In addition, Wu Song does not want to have a person who can suppress the whole audience more than himself in his own affairs, which is very bad feeling. But the county magistrate came and couldn't drive him out. Wu Song took a few steps to bend down to salute. At the same time, he shouted, "I don't know if the adult has arrived here, and the villain failed to greet him in advance. I hope you can forgive me."
Wu Song bent down to Shi Li just pretend, waiting for the county magistrate to help him too much. It would not look good to say that Shi Li went down in front of so many people, so he deliberately slowed down. Sure enough, the county magistrate stretched out his hand to help him: "Wu Song, why don't you inform me of this kind of thing today? Don't you look down on it? Me?"
"Where, I don't think it's appropriate for adults to appear on such a small occasion as the head of the county, so I didn't send posts to adults." Wu Song's words were very respectful.
"You don't need to call an adult. You see, I didn't wear official clothes or sit in an official sedan chair today. This is not in the government office. I came here today as one of your elders. I heard that your parents are gone. It is always inappropriate for an elder to have such a happy day. So, hey, I'm used to being official. I came here this time to make your engagement more grand, and I can't let the girl's family see jokes, right? Hahaha. Although the county magistrate said this to Wu Song, he did not lower his voice when speaking, but many people present could hear it.
Wu Song knew that the county magistrate deliberately amplified his voice to give himself a long face. He was very happy, so he gave the county magistrate to the middle seat on the first floor. Although this location is not on the second floor, it is indeed much more noble than the second floor. Wu Song was originally going to leave this position to An Daoman and let him be his elder, but there was nothing he could do when the county magistrate came. However, Elder An doesn't seem to have come yet, but it doesn't matter. Maybe there is something official business. I'll just send someone to invite him later.
As soon as the county magistrate comes, the ceremony will officially begin. After all, it is not a way to let the county magistrate wait. So Wu Song said excuse me and went to his brother Wu Da. After looking around, I found that Wu Da was talking with a group of traders.
"Apart from martial arts, you have got the Guihua Building, and you will be the president of the Yanggu Chamber of Commerce in the future. Can you take care of this tax? A man nodded to Wu Da.
"Shopkeeper Liu, alas, it's not easy for me to do this. After all, when it comes to silver, you still need to be careful about this thing. Do you understand what I mean? Wu Da's expression is a little ridiculous to Wu Song.
"I understand, I understand the meaning of martial arts. Brother, I'm sure I mean this, but I don't know what martial arts mean?"
How much? It's up to you. But Shopkeeper Liu, I have to warn you not to make everyone embarrassed. When Wu Da said this, he also raised his eyebrows.
Wu Song saw that this round of negotiations of Wuhan University was almost complete, and the matter was indeed urgent, so he hurried to Wuhan University's side. Brother, the county magistrate is here.
"Ah, I saw it. Aren't you greeting me? It's not easy for me to get in touch with officials. Wu Da immediately stopped talking to him and turned his head to Wu Song.
"Brother, I'm not here to ask you to say hello. I think that when the county magistrate comes, will our reopening ceremony start immediately? It's not good to let the guests wait." Wu Song asked in a consultative tone. He knew that these people around him were all merchants and sellers in Yanggu. If his brother had the power to speak in the Yanggu Chamber of Commerce in the future, he must give him full respect in front of people.
Wu Da obviously thought about it for a while: "Well, you're right, although the appointed time has not come. But this auspicious time actually doesn't matter. It is said that when our mother gave birth to you, the nearby fortune teller also said that you were born disabled according to the date of birth, and these things don't matter. Then go back to accompany the guests, and it will start right here.
Seeing Wu Da's consent, Wu Song didn't say much. He turned around and left, stopped a clerk, and took out two taels of silver from his pocket. You go outside to hire a sedan chair, go to the county government to pick up the county's An Daoman, and say that Wu Song has invited you. Be respectful. In addition, tell him that the county magistrate is coming, and it is not convenient for me to greet him in person. Go quickly."
The man took the silver, put down the things in his hand, and immediately left the Guihua Building to do business.
Wu Song then turned back and sat down beside the county magistrate. The adults have been waiting for a long time. The first thing to do is the reopening ceremony of the Osmanthus Building, and then the engagement ceremony of the villain. Wu Song did not obey the "efather" of the county magistrate's words. First, there is really no title to call, and second, the county magistrate is polite. If he is really so polite to him, he will be shameless.
"Haha, after the reopening, I will definitely come to support you often, and how troublesome it will be." The county magistrate twisted his beard and laughed.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet." Suddenly, there was a sound of maintaining order in the Guihua Building, and the scene gradually quieted down. Wu Dalang stood on a high platform in luxurious clothes and talked to everyone. Wu Da, who stood on this high platform, was a little taller than ordinary people. This high platform is surrounded by wooden wheels that can be pushed. Obviously, it was customized by Wuhan University for this event. Wu Song doesn't know either. Although Wuda stood on the high platform to make up for the lack of height, it looks more funny.
"Everyone be quiet. In Xia Wuzhi, the new owner of this osmanthus building. Thank you, the county magistrate, county magistrates, fellow villagers, and business colleagues, for coming to the Guihua Building today to participate in this reopening ceremony. When Wu Da said this, he bowed around on the high platform, which seemed very sincere. In fact, the opening of a restaurant is a common thing in the business world. Normally, just hang a whip and find a few clerks to shout on the street. After all, Guihua Building is a place for food and ceremonies. There is no need to be so mysterious and go through the scene, but I still feel that it is necessary to invite everyone today.
Wu Da paused and shot the whole audience with his eyes: "My brother Wu Zhi and my brother Wu Song have both died and been displaced. A few years ago, I brought my wife to Yanggu. It was your fellow villagers who did not treat us as outsiders and gave us a place to live here to do some small business, support our family and live. Before my brother came, my Wuzhi could be said to be helpless. Looking back on those days, I always asked myself, without Yanggu's fellow villagers, could I still live to this day and wait until it comes to pros? Definitely not. So today's name is the opening. In fact, thank you. I'm here to thank you all. Wu Da bowed deeply again.
Wu Song was a little moved by the sincere words. Thinking about it, although my brother is not easy to understand and communicate on the surface, and has a good face, and sometimes he is dominious. It seems that he still misses everyone's kindness very much. Wu Song looked up and saw that the guests at the scene were quite surprised by this, but everyone had no reaction and seemed to be waiting for Wu Da's next words.
Wu Da bowed and straightened up: "A few months ago, my brother Wu Song came to me from a foreign country. Even if the two brothers of the Wu family are re-members, the fate of the Wu family has also been changed. So in a few months, our two brothers both made a fortune. He became the head of Yanggu, and I became the owner of the Osmanthus Building. Only Yanggu can give us this kind of transportation. If Yanggu can have this water and soil, we still need to thank all the fathers and elders. Of course, we especially want to thank the parents and officials of this county, the magistrate of Yanggu County.
Speaking of this, the scene began to applaud. Although the applause was due to Wu Da's words, it was actually flattering the county magistrate. Even Wu Song felt a little stunned. Wu Da's flattery has reached the silent state of moistening. The county magistrate must not remember who slapped it below. Even if he remembers it, the source of this kind of praise must be counted on Wu Da. It seems that my brother is already working hard to become the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
When Wu Song was sighing, he suddenly felt that he had been slapped on the shoulder. Wu Er was shocked and almost immediately turned around and punched.
"It's all head, it's me."
Wu Song looked at it. It turned out that he was the guy who had just picked up An Daoman. Wu Song asked in a low voice, "Has Elder An picked it up?"
"No, when we went, Elder An was no longer in the county office. It is said that he left the county government office and came to Guihua Tower within an hour. I inquired again along the road, and there was no news from Elder An. Dude, keep a low voice.
