The position of porter is very important, and Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen attach great importance to it.So far, the people on duty at the concierge haven't made any mistakes, and the news can be conveyed to the masters in a timely manner.

As an official, few people's back houses are as clean as Ji's house.Without concubines, there would be fewer disputes. The officials and wives were very envious, but there was nothing to do.The initiative in these matters is in the hands of the masters. If they are not willing, who can force them to take concubines?There are few men who are not happy to see the success, especially those from poor families. Once they are infected by the colorful world outside, there are few who can withstand the test of wealth and prosperity. It is easy to get lost in it suddenly. , It will even be worse than officials from wealthy households.

Those who did not marry a wife before becoming an official were fine, but officials who married a poor family and came from a poor family chose a variety of paths, some were consistent, and some abandoned the chaff. and discard.

Coincidentally, none of the officials above the sixth grade in the government office of Yingzhou was born in a poor family.This is really a coincidence. Generally, at the level of the government, there are more or less officials above the general judgment who come from poor families.There are a large number of officials below the sixth rank, but several of them come from ordinary people's families.

Ji's family is no different than other families, Ji Xuanhe does not restrict Shao Yunchen to the back house, if no one is named, whoever is at home, the following people will send the invitation to whomever they receive.

This is what Shao Yunchen held in his hand. The Qian family invited their husband and Mrs. Zhen, and if Shao Yunchen accepted it, it meant that Ji Xuanhe would take over.Posts from officials' homes are usually more exquisite. Shao Yunchen opened the outer seal, and the posts inside were the same as the ones he had received before. The color was bright, not pure red. One could tell at a glance that it was not a happy event like a marriage , but it's almost the same.

"Grandpa Qian's [-]th birthday!" After knowing the whole story, Shao Yunchen quickly started to prepare.Birthday gifts are all standard. Ji Xuanhe has been an official for ten years, and he has encountered many such things. Shao Yunchen got started very quickly, and now he is very familiar with it.

As Ji Xuanhe is the top, he doesn't need to be so particular about preparing the ceremony, as long as it meets the specifications.There are rules to follow in dealing with people, Shao Yunchen prepared the courtesy as before.In the Jin Dynasty, 60 years old can already be called a long life.The living conditions are not good, and there are many people who go there at the age of four or fifty.Officials and rich families eat and drink well, and their life expectancy is longer than others. It is not uncommon for those who can pass the sixty threshold.

There are long-lived elderly people in the family, as long as the family conditions permit, it is a happy event.On the contrary, in the homes of ordinary people, it is not necessarily so.Everyone has a selfish side. They say that they respect the old and love the young, but in fact, there is not much that can be done.

Compared with modern society, Jinchao pays attention to filial piety and respect for the elderly, which is more than 01:30 points. Even so, it can't stop the children and grandchildren from muttering in private.It is said that there is no filial son in front of a long-term hospital bed. There is an old man in his family who needs to be taken care of by his children and grandchildren. He has a lot of work during the day, and he has to take time to take care of the elderly and children. After a long time, there is no quarrel at all. It is really worthy of the world. praise.

The word "filial piety" depends on how people think it.Some people regard it as more important than their own lives, some follow the crowd, and some don't.Whichever road you choose, you will reap the fruits of that road, whether it is good or bad, like a person who drinks water and knows it by himself, it is difficult for others to empathize.

King An's initial territory was only a little bigger than Gansu. After occupying Jin'an County, some of the original officials would inevitably be used. Otherwise, King An would not even be able to provide a basic supporting team.Qian Tongpan was an official retained after Yingzhou Mansion was captured by King An. There are still many such officials in Yingzhou Mansion, and most of them are not of high rank.

It is much more difficult for these officials to be promoted than officials like Ji Xuanhe, who originally came from the territory of King An.Fortunately, it was a civil war in the Jin Dynasty, otherwise, after the city was broken, the officials would be the first batch to be dealt with, and it is still unknown whether they will survive.Similarly, because it is a civil war, few defenders of the city have the courage to die with the enemy. After doing their best and obeying the fate, if it still fails, they can still do things for the enemy with peace of mind after the city is broken.

Yingzhou Fucheng was like this at the beginning. After being occupied by King An's soldiers, the damage to the city was not high. After Ji Xuanhe took over, he quickly recovered. If there were no heavy taxes during the war, the lives of the people would not be too much become like this.

Time flies, and it is now the beginning of winter.The temperature in Yingzhou Prefecture is dropping day by day, the Little Ice Age has not yet passed, and the temperature in the city is similar to that in the south of the Yangtze River.I heard from the older generation that the weather in Yingzhou used to be good, and there were not many days when the temperature was below five degrees in winter. Now, don’t count on it. When it is the coldest, it is below zero every day, and the duration is not short. .

At first, Shao Yunchen was not used to it.Whether it is Kangping County or Xilin County, there are earth dragon fire kangs for heating, so you don't have to worry about freezing in the room in winter.Yingzhou Fucheng is different. There is no kang here, all kinds of beds are used, and there is no floor heating. You can only use braziers for heating. If you are not careful, you may catch a cold.

Fortunately, Shao Yunchen was in the prime of life, exercised all the year round, and was supported by Ji Xuanhe with good things from the writer system, so he was not acclimatized.In this regard, both Ji Xuan and Old Master Tong Zhen are better adapted than Shao Yunchen, there is no way, both of them have the experience of living in the south.Old Master Zhen has been in the Southern Academy for more than ten years, how he can live in this situation, he knows well, although he is old, his body is strong, and a small change in the environment will not make him uncomfortable.

Ji Xuanhe has been living in the north since he came to Jinchao, but he is not unfamiliar with the life in the south. This is all thanks to his previous life, and he was not affected by the environment at all. Ji's family all attribute it to his excellent health fact.Since everyone else thinks so, Ji Xuanhe also acquiesces, and he will not make himself uncomfortable if he has a ready-made excuse.

Qian Tongpan's family is not in the government office, he has been operating in Yingzhou Fucheng for many years, and he has built a house outside.During the war, due to safety considerations, he moved back to the official residence. After the war subsided, he moved into the mansion outside the government office within a few months.

On the day of Mrs. Qian's birthday, people came and went.The Qian family has been rooted in the prefectural city of Yingzhou for some years, and they have made many good friends, including relatives, the number of people is not too small.

The official banquet was at dusk, and officials on duty in the government office like Ji Xuanhe were the last ones to arrive.As a family member, Shao Yunchen set off in the middle of the afternoon. He is a married man. Although he is classified as a family member, he needs to pay more attention to rules than female family members when he acts in the backyard of other people's houses. The men sat together and chatted, which was quite fun.

Married men are special, they can sit at the table for female relatives, and the table for male guests can also enter. Of course, they can’t let them occupy all the good things. There are restrictions on both sides. It can be regarded as between female relatives and male guests. place.

Recently, the government office is not busy, and the officials are all on time.Yingzhou Mansion is just a lower mansion. Compared with Xilin County, there are many more officials. Compared with the capital city like the capital, it is not comparable at all.Therefore, as long as the two governments were not fighting against each other, the colleagues who were very face-saving would all be there to congratulate Old Master Qian on his birthday.

Old Master Qian smiled and looked at the children and grandchildren who paid him birthday wishes, their faces were flushed.The Qian family background is not very rich. Since his son made a fortune, his life has become smoother and smoother. He is with his old wife, and there are not many old friends who can live to the age of their husband and wife.Even if Wang An sent his generals to capture the capital of Yingzhou, he was not surprised by his son's dealings. He still behaved as his old master, and God did not treat him badly.

After the children and grandchildren congratulated and presented the gift, the birthday banquet began soon.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Mrs. Qian and the old masters were seated at the main table, and Mrs. Zhen was also invited, so he naturally went to the main table.Ji Xuan set up another table with them. He had the highest official position, so he naturally took one of the two main seats.Under normal circumstances, there is only one main seat at a table. Ji Xuanhe is special. He has a high official position but is young. Whenever he attends a banquet, there are usually two main seats at a table. He occupies one, and the host takes one. Lest he sit alone in the main seat, appearing to overwhelm the host.

Everyone has been used to this kind of thing for a long time, and they didn't feel any awkwardness at all, and their expressions seemed very natural.After drinking for three rounds, Ji Xuanhe couldn't hold back after drinking a full stomach of soup and water. He called the servant woman who was waiting beside him and asked him to take him to change clothes.

The male guests all had banquets in the front yard. The Qian family was not the kind of big house with yards within yards, and it was slightly bigger than Ji's mansion, but it wasn't the kind that could be seen at a glance.Most of the houses are covered in front of the door, which saves visitors from prying at random.There were a lot of people walking around in the front yard, and there were several guests like Ji Xuanhe who came out to release water, but at night, although there were candles for lighting, they were faintly shadowy, and it was hard to see clearly if they were a little further away.At first he didn't care at all, and led Zhile to follow the servant woman who was leading the way.

The yard is so big, and soon arrived at the guest room, Ji Xuanhe was about to open the door to enter, suddenly, he heard a slight noise in the room, so he kept his eyes open, looked at the maid who led the way, and looked at her He looked normal, so he pretended to be drunk, turned around and walked to the next room, found someone, walked a few more rooms to the side, and found an empty guest room.The maid didn't say anything, seeing that the rooms were all empty, she didn't stop her, Ji Xuanhe walked in easily and asked Zhile to guard him.

After Ji Xuan reconciled, he felt very happy.Seeing that nothing happened, he thought he was overthinking, and was laughing at himself, washing his hands with soap in a relaxed manner, when suddenly, a scream pierced through the eardrums and poured into Ji Xuanhe's ears, scaring him almost Throw away the soap in his hand, wash his hands in a hurry, and want to leave this place of right and wrong with Zhile.The maid who led the way was also very obedient. Before many people noticed, she led them to avoid the sight of everyone, and took a detour into the lobby from the side.

This is not over yet, less than a minute later, there is another scream, louder than the one just now, this is really endless.Ji Xuan and his five senses were sensitive, and he could tell that the two voices did not come from the same person, nor did they come from the same place, and that both voices were from young women, so one could imagine the filthiness inside.Although the first scream was shrill, it could be heard to be depressed, and the surprise in it could not be ignored. The second scream seemed to draw people's attention. It could be regarded as being prepared, just to wait for this moment.

In the front yard, apart from the servants, there was not even a girl to be seen.As a maid, if something serious had not happened, she wouldn't have screamed in front of many guests.If you think more deeply, you may think that the person who made the noise is a lady from some house. It's not like this kind of thing has happened before. There are many dirty things in the big family, and this one is not bad.

Ji Xuanhe's face turned dark. He has good hearing. The first scream came from the room he was going to enter, and the second scream came from other rooms.If he entered that room, wouldn't he become a joke for everyone to watch now?Although he didn't know what happened, he could guess that it wouldn't be a good thing.
