Episode 1 (Jiangning [-])

Second place and second place, this is the second year of Liang Jinfeng's appointment as an official. He has been appointed as a privy official, and he goes up and down with the old master and his father every day.

Ever since he was appointed as an official, Why Need to Ask has been very busy this year, and there was a crowd of people everywhere, and officials and family members posted posts to him everywhere, and there were gatherings at both ends of the day.

At night, he took a lotus-colored sticker and handed it to Liang Jin, "Look at this, it's from Mrs. Chen Zhibai and Mrs. Chen's family. It looks like it was written by his wife himself. Wait a few days Didn’t he want to go to Jiangning to transfer his position? Then what kind of "Peony" Bureau run by his wife should I go?"

It happened that Liang Jin was reading the letter on the desk, he took it casually and put it aside. After reading the letter, he gritted his teeth and walked to the couch and sat and hugged him, "Transfer is not dismissal. It's nothing important. You can go if you want." Go, don’t go if you’re too lazy to socialize.”

"Sit farther away, you're still so dishonest even though you're an official." He Needed pushed him, and then moved a little further, "I don't want to go, but I went to the Gathering organized by Mrs. , I don’t want to go here, because I’m afraid of offending others, lest people think that you have something wrong with Mr. Chen, or that there is something wrong with Mr. Chen’s transfer.”

His lips fluttered up and down, like flower petals trembling in the wind. Liang Jin rushed over to kiss her cheekily, and smiled triumphantly after succeeding, "Don't think so much, don't go if you don't want to, most people say you are avoiding suspicion. Qingqing , I will go to Jiangning in a few days, and it will take more than half a month to go, will you feel bored at home?"

Why need to ask, curled his mouth, nonchalantly, "Where is the boredom? There are several adults in the back who set up wine, and there are several rounds of banquets to eat, and I have to buy some gifts this time, so I can't be idle." After finishing, he went to another place Pointing at the newly added desk on one side, "Look, those posts are all piled up into a hill."

Looking at the past with that slender finger, I saw a pile of colorful postings, at least a dozen. Liang Jin smiled, grabbed his hand, held it to his lips and kissed him, "I am an official, but I am troubled." I’m sorry, why don’t you go to Jiangning with me? It’s also your hometown, go back to Mingyue Manhualou to have a look, and then go to the riverside to sacrifice to your mother-in-law.”

"How can this be done?" He Needed to look sideways, and withdrew his hand, "I'm gone, what should I do at home? Besides, you are going to work, so what should I do?"

"You care so much?" Liang Jin's eyes lit up, and he smiled slyly, "Hey, actually, the day I received the order, I told my mother to let her be the housekeeper temporarily for half a month, and I will take you out for a walk."

There is no need to ask about nothing behind him, of course I am happy. After two days of being happy, I have to ask someone to buy a lot of things, saying that I will bring them to the mothers and girls in the Mingyue Manhualou.Liang Jin saw that it was funny, and stopped him with a few words, "Qingqing, think about it, the girls in the brothel earned their youth money in those years, and now that you have grown up so much, is it possible that they are still doing it?" What kind of business? I am afraid that if you marry a long time ago, if you marry someone, if you redeem your body, even if you are a mother, you will all retire, right?"

After thinking for a while, why bother to raise eyebrows twice, with a hint of disappointment on his face, seeing this, Liang Jin hurriedly hugged him, "Let's go and see first, if we can find out their whereabouts are still in Jiangning, then we It’s too late to buy gifts now.”

It had been three days since the packing was done, and the letter Liang Jin received a few days ago said that the local officials had already prepared a separate courtyard for him to stay. The two wives should take it with them.The maids were overjoyed when they heard that they were going to go out to play, especially if they had nothing to do, they happily packed up their things and set off in a few days.

Before leaving, Mrs. Li secretly handed over a letter to He Xuwen, asking him to burn it to his mother and offer sacrifices on her behalf.

Although he couldn't help being curious, Liang Jin had no choice but to refrain from mentioning it when he saw why he didn't want to open the letter.After traveling all the way, they finally arrived at Jiangning on schedule.As soon as he entered the city gate, officials from all over the country came to greet him, except that Liang Jin came here according to the order, and because of his family background, no one dared to neglect him.

The head Zhizhou Mr. Zhang is an old man over sixty years old, with a half-inch gray beard, and he looks like a birthday man when he smiles. Why need to ask?

The judge at the side, Mr. Chen Zhibai, was very attentive, and led the two of them into the house, only to see the word "Jingyuan" on the plaque in front of the door, "This house was temporarily rented by a squire from Jiangning, my lord. Before I came here, I had people clean it inside and out many times. The beds, tables, chairs, dishes and other furniture I used were all newly bought. I also left a few rough servants for the adults and the wife. Order, I hope the adults don't dislike it."

The reason why he is so attentive is not only that Liang Jin's family is well-known, but also because he wants to take advantage of this transfer assessment to fall back to the capital and hope to be promoted again. You're welcome, you don't need to bother so much, I came back with my own slaves, if you don't want to trouble your lord, your lord should take them all back, besides, my wife is not used to having strangers in my house, so it's not easy to handle her They, my lord's will, I will take it."

"Hey, if you're not used to it, it's good to let them watch the door." Chen Zhibai played Tai Chi with him, but he wanted to keep one or two eyes and ears.

Liang Jin quickly dealt with him, "No, no, I came here to assess the achievements of local officials. My lord arranged houses and servants. If it spreads to the capital, I'm afraid we... ah, it's better to avoid suspicion."

Chen Zhibai's side is fine, he took away a group of domestic slaves, and only his own family is left in this strange house, why bother to ask, he feels much more at ease.A group of people walked around the house, saying that it is an ordinary house, but it is not ordinary. Although the sparrow is small and complete, there are lakes and gardens, and exquisite workmanship everywhere. Where can I rent it, even if it is rented, it must cost a lot of silver taels, in order to be able to transfer back to the capital, he has made a lot of money."

"Where is it just for transferring back to the capital?" Walking to the second gate, there is a courtyard with winding paths and cherry blossoms, and the scenery is excellent. Seeing a luxurious ebony canopy bed, it was much worse than the one in his home. The couch, table, and furnishings were all exquisite and luxurious, "This room is good, we will live here, and let Hua Nong and the others choose the rest." , live in whichever one you like.”

After all, he sat on the bed and took a few pictures. The bedding and sheets were all made of Yuhua brocade. He was very satisfied, "Look at these things, which one is not worth hundreds of silver? How much is my salary? His salary How much? How can he afford to buy these things at will? If he has a family to help him, but he came from a humble background, his father only started to be an official, and he was full of money, counting his ancestral property, and he didn't have money to squander like this. I think he wants to I raise my hand when I check my performance."

"Then what do you think?"

Liang Jin got up again and dragged him to continue walking, "It depends on the situation. If it is said that privately doing business in the name of outsiders, there are not many companies in the court who are innocent. If it is corrupt, it depends on the amount. It's not to drive people to death, but to report the truth to the Holy One, and he is the one who decides."

After wandering around for a while, they hugged each other and took a nap. The two got up and had dinner. The end of spring was long, and seeing the setting sun in the sky, Liang Jin wanted to lead him out for a stroll. Before leaving, why did he ask everyone for instructions? "It's good for Dongcheng to follow. The three of Ashi Huanong and Yunshang went out for a stroll by themselves, and asked the two young men to follow, but don't come back too late."

The three of them led the young servant to bid farewell to the two of them happily in front of the house, and went to play by themselves, while Liang Jin led him to the other side.

Jiangning is a land of prosperity, and because of its Qinhuai name, it is also very lively at night. All the merchants and vendors are not in a hurry to close, but they still want to earn some money from the flow of people coming and going.

Liang Jin walked around watching the flowers, and dragged He Ziwen to walk slowly under the bright lights, "It's been so many years, do you still remember the road in Jiangning? It's still not the same as before?"

"Where can it be the same?" Reflecting the various lanterns and candles, He Need asked with a bright smile, "How old was I when I left, I don't remember. Hey, by the way, we don't know the way, what will we do when we go back? "

At the right time, Dong Cheng's head popped up like a monkey spirit, "Young Madam, don't worry, when we arrive at noon, I and a few other servants have already searched the city and drawn a few maps, so we won't lose it." , you just go shopping."

Liang Jin glanced at him sideways, and laughed aloud, "This monkey boy is more careful, go back and reward him!"
