Through the wide open door, I could hear the faint sounds of busyness coming from the mansion. The mansion was not big, but there were several corridors and a garden. However, everyone was busy at this time. Walking through it, you would bump into someone who was doing it. Busy people, these people are preparing to pack their bags for their master.
Zhao Yuanjing has only been in the official position for three years, and his rank is not high. However, in three years, the magistrate can earn one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. Zhao Yuanjing is not a magistrate, and the secret text pavilion is related to secrets, so he cannot get one hundred thousand taels of silver. But even so, it is the same as three years ago. totally different. []
"Three years ago, the Zhao family was just an ordinary farming and studying family. Although the Zhao family has a wide branch and a few direct descendants, most of them were just for food and clothing. After three years of becoming an official, many people came to flatter them.
Now that they have received the transfer order, the Zhao family is very happy.
Dacheng was founded not long ago, but judging from the current situation, this dynasty was prosperous from the beginning.
He is the founding emperor and the ancestor of this dynasty. His achievements are not uncommon. The key is that he is young and promising. He is only twenty-five years old and can rule the world for at least twenty years. There is no shortage of emperor's heirs. Three princes have been born. , the queen has a legitimate son, and the relationship between the emperor and the queen is harmonious. Unless there is a big change, such a dynasty can continue for at least several generations.
Moreover, with the opening of customs, trade with other countries and even the Western Qin (Western Continent) has been established. The annual income is more than six million taels of silver, and the country is booming.
Under such circumstances, whether someone in the family becomes an official is related to the success or failure of the family in the next few decades.
As a civil servant from Miwen Pavilion, Zhao Yuanjing is not considered an important minister, but he will not be ignored. As long as he has made achievements during his term of office, he will be promoted after the expiration of his term. People have expectations for Zhao Yuanjing's career.
It was at this moment that the carriage arrived at the door of the house and the driver shouted loudly: "The master has returned home!"
The housekeeper came out to greet him. Seeing that the master was drunk and asleep, he quickly helped him in. Halfway through, he saw a woman coming out. This woman was very dignified and beautiful.
The housekeeper said quickly: "Madam, the master is drunk."
"I'll help him into the house." This lady, Zhao Anshi, was Zhao Yuanjing's wife. She carefully helped him in.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off ??turning around to the upper room five rooms behind, with parrots hanging on the corridor. At this time, two maids came up to him and helped him inside, and lay down on the bed.
"You're all in good hands." Madam said. She had to clean up and couldn't rest, so she gave the order.
"Yes, madam." The two maids saluted and watched her go away.
In the early morning of the second day, the sun shines in through the hollow patterns of the carved wooden windows, and the colorful light falls on the soft bed. The air is filled with the unique fragrance of the morning. The man lying on the soft bed wakes up at this time.
He drank a lot last night, and his head still hurts slightly. As soon as Zhao Yuanjing woke up from lying on the bed, he couldn't help but rubbed his head and sat up straight.
Thinking of the excitement last night, Zhao Yuanjing couldn't help but shake his head. Most of these people were colleagues, some were close friends and a few were also scholars. Some of them were not in official positions and some were businessmen with some connections.
Now that I have to be transferred for three years, I am afraid that these people will not be able to see each other in these three years. Not only that, even if I am transferred back in the future, it will be difficult to meet them. Even if there are people from the Secret Literature Pavilion, there are still very few people who can truly become important ministers. will be scattered throughout the provinces of the world.
Because of the transfer, the emperor gave me a special leave. I can just go back to Miwen Pavilion tomorrow to bid farewell to the emperor.
Although it was broad daylight, Zhao Yuan couldn't stand up. He just thought about the past. It wasn't until his body felt a little cold that he came back to his senses and wanted to change clothes and go to the ground.
"Here comes someone." He shouted outside with a loud voice.
He seldom drinks alcohol and does not go to the beach very often. It is not that he is old-fashioned, but his upbringing is very strict. His family was not wealthy at that time. Although he went out with friends for small gatherings, he rarely went to such gold-selling houses.
Being a Shangguan is a secret pavilion, a confidential place, and I dare not be so presumptuous.
Thinking that if he went to the front to say hello to his mother, he would have to be scolded by his mother again, he rubbed his aching head and smiled bitterly.
The Zhao family is not the Jinling family, but since he became an official in Jinling, his mother has come to take care of him. In his mother's words, if there is no one in charge of the back house, how can he relax even if he has a housekeeper to take care of him?
Now married, sharing the housework.
"Master." Just as he was thinking, someone heard the sound from outside and came in, his voice was very soft.
"Is it you? Are you and Mu'er back?" Zhao Yuanjing was slightly startled when he saw the person coming in. It was his wife Zhao An who came in.
"Two days ago, Zhao An's parents missed their grandson. Because Zhao An was originally from Jinling and they were not far away, she might not be able to see her parents for three years. Yun took her son back to her parents' house, not wanting to see her in the morning.
Zhao An is dignified and beautiful. She has only been married for less than three years. She is only a twenty-year-old young woman. Although she has given birth to a son, she still looks a bit girly.
When her husband asked, Zhao Anshi said: "My father and mother met Mu'er and stayed at home for two days. I came back yesterday. Besides, my husband will leave Beijing in two days, and we, mother and son, will follow." When you take office, it will take some time to clean up. It is a busy time, how can you not come back?"
Zhao Yuanjing stood up, walked a few steps, and said to her apologetically: "This is a remote county, not as good as Jinling. I'm afraid that you two will suffer a little bit with me during my three-year term."
"Whatever your husband said, husband and wife are of the same mind. My husband has mentioned the matter of external transfer before. Without external transfer, he will not be appointed as a minister in the county or county. Now his wish has been fulfilled. It is too late for me to be happy for my husband, so how can I feel bitter? ?" Zhao Anshi said with a smile, paused, and then said: "I was originally from an ordinary family, but now I have become rich with my husband. As the wife of the county magistrate, no matter which county she goes to, she is better than her original family, so how do you feel about it? bitter?"
Zhao An was born in a local scholarly family in Jinling. He read a lot of books and had some understanding of the current situation. He knew that her husband's transfer was a good thing. Although his life during the three-year term was indeed not as detailed as that in Jinling, at the end of the three-year period, he had to retire. He can come back. Even if he can't be transferred back to Jinling, he will still be promoted to serve as an official in the county.
Although she was reluctant to leave her parents in Jinling, she had no problem following her husband after she got married.
Looking at his considerate wife, Zhao Yuanjing laughed.
"Husband, I have asked someone to prepare some light meals, which can be used after washing up." Knowing that my husband just called someone to help him get up and change clothes, Zhao Anshi had already ordered someone to prepare them: "I saw you sleeping yesterday Xiang, this is rare, I was afraid that I would wake up while changing clothes for you, so I didn¡¯t change them.¡±
Working in Miwen Pavilion, the work is busy, the rules are very strict, and you are cautious and cautious. Even sleeping is not good. This is indeed a fact. Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanjing felt relieved. He went to be the county magistrate, Bailihou, as long as he didn't If something goes wrong, you can sleep peacefully.
At this time, a maid came in with clean clothes and clean water. Zhao An personally served her husband to take care of them, and they went out together.
The two of them paid their respects to the old lady, and were given a few more words by the old lady. Since her daughter-in-law was present, the old lady did not teach them any lessons, but only told them not to be too greedy for such fireworks.
Zhao Yuanjing did not dare to contradict his mother, so he quickly responded.
Next, the couple had breakfast in the small flower hall. The food was very light and refreshing. Knowing that his wife ordered it specially for him, Zhao Yuanjing's eyes became a little softer.
At this time, most of them were on the night of wedding, and the husband and wife saw the first side. Zhao Yuanjing was not satisfied with his wife, but there was not much feelings at first.
As the two had a son, their relationship gradually improved, and now it can be considered warm.
This day has been busy and fulfilling.
Zhao Yuanjing not only bid farewell to the elders in Jinling, but also attended a small gathering held for him. Yesterday's gathering was for close friends. Today, the people he has to contact are all decent people, so be careful and cautious.
After a busy day, when I got home, it was already sunset.
At this time, Zhao Anshi was at home, directing all the things to be taken care of, and all the things brought on the road were packed away. When the smoke was everywhere, the family sat together and had another reunion dinner.
" Seeing that her beloved son has a promising future and that her eldest daughter-in-law is docile and able to run the house, the old lady felt happy but a little reluctant to give up.
"Jing'er, my family has prepared everything for you to use on this trip. Take more people with you when you go out this time. When you get there, you will have to use your own talents for the first time." The old lady said.
Zhao Yuanjing hurriedly accepted the promise, and the old lady gave some instructions to her daughter-in-law, and then asked: "When will you leave Jinling?"
Zhao Yuanjing said: "Mother, I will leave Jinling early the next morning."
Hearing that her son was leaving so soon, the old lady had no choice but to tell him: "Just take care of whatever is needed in the past two days. The place you are going to is a county town, and I'm afraid there are some things that you won't be able to buy by then."
Not only Zhao Yuanjing, but also Zhao Anshi stood up and responded.
The old lady is getting older, and she and her sonThe daughter-in-law talked for a while and then left.
"Husband, you have to go back to the Miwen Pavilion to say goodbye to the emperor tomorrow morning, so you should go to bed early!" Zhao An said when she saw her husband's face looked a little tired.
Zhao Yuanjing was a little tired. The social activities were more tiring than working in the cabinet, so he just rested himself. I won¡¯t say much more.
When it was just dawn the next morning, Zhao Yuanjing woke up, washed himself, and headed for the palace in a carriage.
Entering from the main gate, you will arrive at Danchi Daguangchang.
It was time to go to court, and the cabinet ministers had the privilege and had already gone in to rest. The hundred or so ministers who were not in the cabinet were all standing, gathering together to exchange greetings and talk.
Zhao Yuanjing said hello to several ministers and then entered the Miwen Pavilion. He found that the Miwen Pavilion was a bit lively today. Although it was still a little early, there were some people inside.
These people are all eighth- and ninth-grade officials. When they saw Zhao Yuanjing coming up to say hello, they knew that Zhao Yuanjing would be transferred out for three years. Most of their faces were filled with envy.
Although it is said that people who go to remote counties to serve as officials from outside will only be promoted after three years, in this officialdom, if you take a step early, you will get a step ahead. If you take a step late, you don't know how much you will be left behind.
Zhao Yuanjing came here today, mainly to bid farewell to the emperor. The handover had been completed two days ago, so he just smiled, sat down somewhere, drank tea and waited.
Half an hour later, a chamberlain came in and said, "Where is Mr. Zhao? The emperor has summoned you."
"Yes!" Zhao Yuanjing immediately stood up and responded.
