Zhao Mansion
At the spacious gate, I heard the busy sounds faintly from the mansion. The mansion was not big, but there were several corridors and a garden. However, at this time, everyone was busy and walking through it. They were very worried about running into a busy person. These people were preparing for their master's luggage.
Zhao Yuanjing only entered the officialdom for three years, and his grade was not high. But in three years, the Qing magistrate had 100,000 snowflakes. Zhao Yuanjing was not the magistrate, and the Secret Pavilion was in a close relationship, so he could not get 100,000 taels of silver. But even so, it was completely different from three years ago.[]
Three years ago, the Zhao family was just an ordinary farming family. Although the Zhao family had a wide branch and had several direct families, most of them were just food and clothing. After three years of entering the government, many people came to flatter.
The land, shops, slaves and maids all have their own children. Not only did they move their own homes, but their relatives were taken care of, and the clan also had 100 acres of land sacrificed to the tribe.
Now that the Zhao family has received the order to be transferred, the Zhao family is glad.
Dacheng was founded shortly after the founding of the country, but judging from the current situation, this dynasty had a prosperous spirit from the beginning.
Today is the founding emperor. The Taizu of this dynasty is 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. The emperor's descendants are not scarce. He was born with three princes, the queen has a legitimate son, and the emperor and the empress have a harmonious relationship. Unless there are major changes, such a dynasty can last at least several generations.
Moreover, the opening of customs has formed trade deals with other countries and even the Western Qin (Western continent), with an annual income of more than 6 million taels of silver, and the country's momentum is booming.
In this case, whether someone in the family will become an official will be related to the family's success or failure in the next decades.
As a civil servant from the Secret House, Zhao Yuanjing is not an important official, but he will not be a member of the officialdom. As long as he has made achievements during his time in office, he will be promoted after his term expires. People have expectations for Zhao Yuanjing's career.
It was at this moment that the carriage arrived at the door and the driver shouted loudly: "The master is back home!"
The housekeeper came out and saw the master drunk and sleeping, he hurriedly helped him in. Halfway through, he saw a woman coming out, which was very dignified and beautiful.
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Madam, I'm drunk."
"I'll help me into the house." This lady Zhao An is Zhao Yuanjing's wife, so she carefully helped him in.
Turning around the screen, I went to the five upper rooms in the back, with parrots hanging in the corridor. At this time, the two maids greeted him and helped him inside and lay down on the bed.
"You are so happy to serve." The lady said, and she still had to clean up and couldn't rest, so she ordered.
"Yes, madam." The two maids saluted and watched her go away.
The next morning, the sunlight shot in from the hollow patterns of the carved wooden windows. The colorful light fell on the soft collapse air. The fragrance of the morning was filled with the man lying on the soft collapse. He woke up at this time.
I drank a lot of wine last night, and his head still hurts slightly until now. When Zhao Yuanjing, who was lying on the collapse, he couldn't help but rub his head and sit up straight when he woke up.
Thinking of the lively night, Zhao Yuanjing couldn't help but shake his head. Most of these people were colleagues, some were close friends, and a few were scholars. They had not been an official, and some were businessmen with some relationships.
Now I have to transfer outside for three years, I am afraid that these people will not be able to meet in these three years. Not only that, even if I transfer back in the future, it will be difficult to meet. Even if the people from the Secret Palace can truly become important officials, there will still be very few people, and they will be scattered in the provinces of the world.
Because he wanted to be transferred, the emperor gave him a special leave and went back to the Sewen Pavilion to say goodbye to the emperor tomorrow.
Although it was dawn, Zhao Yuan could not stand up. He just thought about the past carefully until his body became a little cold, and he came to his senses and wanted to change his clothes and go down to the ground.
I wanted to change my clothes myself, look at the outer shirt that was smelly of alcohol, and smell the smell on my body, Zhao Yuanjing couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Come." He shouted outside with a loud voice.
He rarely drinks alcohol and doesn't go to Huashang often. It's not that he is old-fashioned, but his family is very strict and his family is not wealthy at that time. Although he goes out for a small gathering with his friends, he rarely goes to such a gold-selling house.
Being a Shangguan is a Secret Palace and a confidential place, and he dare not be so arrogant.
I thought I would come to the front to pay my respects to my mother, and I would be scolded by my mother again. He rubbed his achesy head and smiled bitterly.
The Zhao family is not the Jinling family, but since he was 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 in the back house, he can be relieved if he has a housekeeper to take care of him?
Now I have married and share the family affairs.
"Master." Just as someone outside heard the sound, he walked in, his voice was very soft.
"It's you? Are you and Mu'er back?" Zhao Yuanjing was slightly stunned 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 from Jinling and was not far away, they were afraid that they would not be able to see their parents for three years. Yun took the child back to their parents' home, but he didn't want to see her in the morning.
Zhao An is dignified and beautiful. He has been married for less than three years. He is just a 20-year-old young woman. Although she has given birth to a son, she still looks like a little girlish.
When he saw his husband ask, Zhao An 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. We, mother and son, will follow us to take office. It will take some time to pack up. It is the time of busyness, so how can we not come back?"
Zhao Yuanjing stood up, walked a few steps, and said to her apologetically: "The post of office is a remote county, not like Jinling. I'm afraid that the three-year term will cause you mother and mother to suffer some pain with me."
"What is your husband saying? The husband and wife are united. The husband has mentioned external transfers before. If you don't serve as a county or county, you will not become a minister. Now you are full of your wish. How can you feel bitter if you are happy for your husband?" Zhao An said with a smile, paused, and said again: "I was originally just an ordinary family, but now I am noble with my husband. The wife of the county magistrate is better than the original family in any county. How can I feel bitter if I go to?"
Zhao An was born in a local scholarly family in Jinling. He reads more books and has some understanding of the current situation. He knows that his husband's extra transfer is a good thing. Although his three-year term is indeed not as meticulous as in Jinling, he can come back after the three-year term. Even if he cannot be transferred back to Jinling, he will be promoted and serve as an official in the county.
Although she couldn't bear to leave her parents in Jinling, she would follow her husband after marrying her, so there was no problem.
Looking at his understanding wife, Zhao Yuanjing laughed.
"Husband, I have someone prepare some light meals, which can be used after washing up." Knowing that my husband called someone just now to serve him and change his clothes, Zhao An had already ordered people to prepare: "I saw you sleeping soundly yesterday. It's rare that I'm afraid that I'll wake up when I wake up."
Working in the Miwen Pavilion, you are busy with work and heavy rules. You are trembling and careful, and you don’t even sleep well. This is indeed a fact. Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanjing felt relieved. He went to be the county magistrate and was the Bailihou. As long as you don’t make any mistakes, you can sleep peacefully.
At this time, a maid brought clean clothes and clean water in. Zhao An personally served his husband to take care of him and went out together.
The two of them greeted the old lady, but the old lady gave a few more words. Because her daughter-in-law was present, the old lady did not teach her a lesson, but just told her not to be greedy for such fireworks.
Zhao Yuanjing did not dare to contradict his mother and responded quickly.
Next, the couple had breakfast in the small flower hall. The dishes were very light and refreshing. Knowing that his wife was making it for him, Zhao Yuanjing's eyes became a little softer.
At this time, most of the wedding nights were the first time the couple met. Zhao Yuanjing was not dissatisfied with his wife, but there was not much relationship at the beginning.
As the two of them had a son, their relationship gradually improved, and now they are considered warm.
This day has been busy and fulfilling.
Zhao Yuanjing not only said goodbye to the elders in Jinling, but also wanted to attend a small gathering held by others for him. Yesterday's party was a close friend, and today they were all people who had to be ashamed of face. Instead, they should be small and cautious.
After a busy day, it was already sunset.
At this time, Zhao An was at home, directing to take care of all the things he had taken care of and packed up the things he brought on the road. When smoke was everywhere, the whole family sat together and had another reunion dinner.
The old lady was happy and reluctant to leave when she saw that her beloved son had a future and her eldest daughter-in-law was gentle and could manage the family.
"Jing'er, my family has prepared all the things you use on the road this time. I will bring more people with me when I go out. When I arrive there, I will always have to be able to use my own people." The old lady said.
Zhao Yuanjing hurriedly agreed, and the old lady gave a few more instructions to her daughter-in-law and asked again: "When will you leave Jinling?"
Zhao Yuanjing said, "Mother, I will leave Jinling early the next morning."
Hearing that his son was about to leave so soon, the old lady had to remind him: "If you lack anything, just take care of the things you need in the past two days. The place you are going to is a county town, and you may not be able to buy some things at that time."
Not only Zhao Yuanjing, but Zhao An also stood up to respond.
The old lady was a little older and talked to her son and daughter-in-law for a while, and then she parted.
"Husband, you will go back to the Sewen Pavilion tomorrow morning to say goodbye to the emperor, so you should rest soon!" Zhao An said as he saw that his husband was feeling a little tired.
Zhao Yuanjing was a little tired. The social engagement was even more tiring than his work in the cabinet, so he rested. I won’t say much.
The next morning, just at dawn, Zhao Yuanjing woke up and washed up, and headed towards the palace in a carriage.
Entering from the main entrance, reaching the backcourt of Danji Daguang, it is only flat.
At this time, it was time to attend court. The cabinet ministers had the privilege and had already gone in to rest. Instead of the one hundred court officials in the cabinet, they were all standing, gathering together to greet and speak.
Zhao Yuanjing greeted several ministers and entered the Secret Palace and found that the Secret Palace was a bit lively today. Although it was still a bit early, there were some people inside.
These people are all eighth-nine rank officials. When they saw Zhao Yuanjing coming forward to say hello, they knew that Zhao Yuanjing would be transferred for three years, so they mostly had envy.
Although the external transfer is to be an official in remote county towns, there will only be promotions in three years. This officialdom can be done step by step earlier. If it is one step later, I don’t know how many things will be lost.
Zhao Yuanjing came here today, but in fact, he mainly said goodbye to the emperor. The handover was done two days ago. He just smiled and sat down. He was waiting for a while.
Half an hour later, an eunuch came in and said, "Where is Lord Zhao? The Emperor summoned him."
