Chapter 86 A wonderful stroke of genius (please subscribe)

Early the next morning, Yi Shuyuan woke up and did not stay in the village any longer. Instead, he left directly and returned to the county town.

When I returned to the county government office, it was obvious that there were many more government officials, and it was obvious that many people had returned.

Before Yi Shuyuan arrived at the library, he saw the door open. He walked over and took a look and found that the chief bookkeeper Wu Minggao was already in the library.

Xiao Diao immediately shrank into the clothes on Yi Shuyuan's chest.

Wu Minggao was looking at the manuscripts on the table carefully, mumbling to himself while reading.

"This word is very wonderful"

"Master Wu?"

Hearing Yi Shuyuan's voice, Wu Minggao looked up and saw Yi Shuyuan walking into the library.

"Mr. Yi, has the night trial of wronged souls been completed?"

"Of course it's already completed. I'm about to take it to Mr. Wu for you to take a look at, and then go to the official office for Mr. Lin to take a look at it."

Not only has this article been completed, but other content has also been followed, and Yi Shuyuan is not just doing it for a living.

"I wonder if Mr. Lin has returned to the county office today? If he comes back, I will send it to him for a look."

Yi Shuyuan walked to the copywriter, and while talking, he sorted out the manuscripts, arranged them in order, and then put them one by one into the cardboard box on the corner of the table.

"That's just right. Your Excellency came back last night. Before he can remember it, I will go with you today!"

Of course Yi Shuyuan had no objections. Although it was unlikely, if Magistrate Lin was dissatisfied, Wu Minggao would definitely smooth things over for him.

——

In the rear courtyard of the county government office, County Magistrate Lin Xiu had just finished breakfast and sat down in the study when a servant came in to report.

"Sir, the Registrar and Mr. Yi are here."

Lin Xiu, whose head was slightly swollen and aching because he had drank a lot during this period, suddenly sobered up because it was so easy to guess the purpose of these two people's visit.

Lin Xiu suddenly beamed with joy. In fact, Lin Xiu himself thought of the county annals article last night.

"Please."

"yes!"

Not long after, the yamen led Wu Minggao and Yi Shuyuan into the study, and the two of them saluted Lin Xiu together.

"I've met the county magistrate!"

"No need to be polite, come and watch the tea!"

With that said, Lin Xiu stood up, walked to the coffee table and guest seat on one side, and stretched out his hand to motion for the two of them to sit down.

"Come, you two, please take a seat."

Yi Shuyuan and Wu Minggao were not polite and sat down together. Lin Xiu looked at Wu Minggao and said.

"Master Wu is here too?"

"As the chief registrar, compiling the county annals is within my jurisdiction. The county magistrate has asked about it before, so I naturally have to come over."

Lin Xiu nodded. It was indeed a matter for the county magistrate, and then looked at Yi Shuyuandao.

"I heard Mr. Wu mention Mr. Yi's calligraphy and said that he is quite accomplished. I often like to cultivate my sentiments through calligraphy. Today I just happen to take this opportunity to ask Mr. Yi for advice."

Now that Lin Xiu is relaxed, he is naturally in the mood to cultivate his sentiments.

Although Yi Shuyuan was a minor official, Lin Xiu considered him to be his confidant, and thought that he would take Yi Shuyuan with him if he was promoted in the future.

Therefore, Lin Xiu did not have any condescending attitude when speaking to Yi Shuyuan, and showed the attitude of a polite and virtuous corporal.

"Your Excellency, the county magistrate, is so complimentary. How dare you give advice in front of your Majesty!"

Wu Minggao's face looked a little strange. It seemed that the county magistrate hadn't realized that Wu Minggao's words about Yi Shuyuan's calligraphy were not exaggerated.

Then Wu Minggao heard the county magistrate say with some expectation.

"Did Mr. Yi bring the contents of the county annals that are currently being compiled?"

I have to say that the allure of being famous forever is really great. After the case was over, Lin Xiu felt a big stone in his heart. Naturally, he was very concerned about the content of this county chronicle that was closely related to him.

On the contrary, it was the Yuezhou Martial Arts Conference, which was difficult to resonate with a pure scholar like Lin Xiu, who was very excited when looking at the mountain and river fairy furnace pictures.

Yi Shuyuan nodded, placed the box he was carrying on the coffee table, and opened the seal to reveal the manuscript inside.

"Please take a look at it, your Majesty the County Lord."

"Okay, let me take a look."

As Lin Xiu spoke, he picked up a piece of paper, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw it at first glance. He immediately took a few pieces and took them in his hand to look at them carefully.

The more he looked at it, Lin Xiu's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly, and the pupils in his eyes gradually diverged, proving that he was emotionally unstable. He looked at the other manuscripts in the paper box, and the handwriting was generally the same.

This is a spirituality that wanders among the words. The more you read, the more you become immersed in it. There is a kind of natural beauty.

As a scribe who has been holding pens for decades since childhood, I often have a unique feel for the art of calligraphy, as long as I don't just muddle along.

This is just like ordinary people looking at works of art. Sometimes they think it’s just like that, but in some people’s eyes you can see the emotion.

Lin Xiu didn't even read the content of this calligraphy in detail, he just lingered among the calligraphy, and for a while he was fascinated by it!

Wu Minggao glanced at Yi Shuyuan, hesitated and chose not to disturb Magistrate Lin, who had been unresponsive for a while, but Yi Shuyuan didn't care anymore and sat quietly aside.

"My lord, here comes the tea."

The servant came in with a tray and a teapot filled with hot tea, finally breaking the calm in the study.

But Lin Xiu still looked at the paper without saying anything. After the servant poured tea for the three of them and put down the teapot and went out, he looked at Yi Shuyuan with emotion.

"I just thought that Mr. Calligraphy has certain attainments, but I didn't expect that he has reached such a level. Just then, Lin laughed and said that he was really overestimating his abilities."

Lin Xiu was somewhat embarrassed when he said this. Fortunately, he was more reserved just now and didn't speak too much. Fortunately, he used "asking for advice".

But even now, Lin Xiu felt his face was getting hot. Fortunately, he had developed his face after being an official for so many years, so he could be calmer now.

"Your Excellency, please take a look at the content of this article!"

There was no excitement in Yi Shuyuan's words. The more he wrote, the less he would feel elated just because others praised his handwriting.

At this moment, Lin Xiu felt different when he looked at Yi Shuyuan.

This calligraphy skill can be called a master, and he can even see ghosts and gods. I never expected that compiling county annals could recruit such a strange person!

Even Lin Xiu couldn't help but think about it again, thinking that the reason why Yi Shuyuan could see ghosts and gods was probably related to the fact that he had reached such a perfect state of calligraphy, or that it was because of his extraordinary spirituality that he was able to practice calligraphy. To this level?

The most extraordinary geniuses in history seem to have had more or less mysterious experiences and left many imaginative stories.

"My lord, my lord? How did Mr. Yi write this article?"

Seeing Lin Xiu's delay in expressing his opinion, Wu Minggao finally asked and brought Lin Xiu back from his reverie.

"Well, it's wonderful. This article is very good, very good! Oh, Mr. Yi, please have tea! Master Wu, too."

Yi Shuyuan didn't say anything, but felt slightly relieved in his heart.

The same was true for Wu Minggao, but what the two of them didn't expect was that Lin Xiu was so distracted that he didn't even bother to read the content.

While the two were drinking tea, Lin Xiu was still holding the paper and looking at it carefully. He even took out all the other manuscripts in the box and looked at them one by one, as if he was admiring some rare treasure of a peerless beauty! Then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly turned to look at Wu Minggao.

"Master Wu, are there two people who compile the county annals?"

It was as if Wu Minggao had long been prepared to respond to Lin Xiu's sudden question, and he immediately answered with a smile.

"After seeing Mr. Yi write that day, the official immediately revealed the list. How can we find another person to mess up Mr. Yi's work?"

"Pah~" "That's so good!"

Lin Xiu couldn't help but clapped his hands, Wu Minggao did such a good job!

Yi Shuyuan couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth. It's true that every superior officer has his subordinates. These two people actually considered this kind of thing at the first time!

Then Lin Xiu seemed to realize something again, frowned and looked at Yi Shuyuan and sighed.

"Asking Mr. Yi to compile the county annals as a junior official is really an insult to his talent, and it is also detrimental to his future. If you mind, you don't need to sign the county annals! It's just that your name has been left in the case file. Oh, what a mistake! "

Lin Xiu had previously thought about finding a way to take Yi Shuyuan away when he got promoted, but he no longer had such thoughts.

Lin Xiu meant what he said sincerely. People like Yi Shuyuan would be recruited as officials even if they failed in the imperial examination and their reputation spread to the court in the future.

However, Yi Shuyuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It means that if I don't mind, can I still sign the county annals?

On the contrary, Yi Shuyuan didn't care about Lin Xiu's previous words.

"Your Excellency, you are overly worried. To be honest, I, Yi Shuyuan, actually think highly of myself. It's just that my gaze is different from that of ordinary people. I have no interest in officialdom. It's even more nonsense to care about whether I have ever been an official."

Yi Shuyuan said this and looked at Lin Xiudao.

"Rather than these minutiae, I would like to know more from you, sir. How do you feel about this case?"

Originally, Yi Shuyuan was a minor official, so there was no need to pay attention to such questions, but now Yi Shuyuan's weight in Lin Xiu's heart was even greater.

Lin Xiu had a smile on his face.

"All I can say is, rejoice! Hahahahahaha."

It felt really good to be the master of Qingtian. He even felt that his body and spirit were getting better during this period, and he was eating well and sleeping soundly.

Yi Shuyuan also laughed. With this sentence, for him, the book was complete! ——
