Cheng Tingzhi's family first moved their belongings to the governor's Yamen. After arriving at the governor's Yamen, they discovered that Governor Sun's family had not moved out yet.
This made Cheng Tingzhi feel helpless.
Logically speaking, Sun Fu's transfer order arrived in Fuzhou at least half a month or even a month in advance. He himself stayed in Fuzhou to wait for the transfer. This was naturally no problem, but his family should have moved out early.
The governor's office is the right one.
But Sun Fu didn't move away.
Now, the new governor has to drag several cars of belongings to find another place to live in the city, which is really not a decent thing.
This is not a big deal, but it is not a trivial matter either. At the very least, it will clearly tell officials in Fuzhou and even Fujian that the old and new governors are at odds.
Sometimes political battles are so plain and simple, without many high-end operations.
Governor Sun apologized and said: "I almost forgot that my family insisted on going north to the capital with me, so they stayed at the governor's Yamen and did not leave. Otherwise, my dear brother Mingli would go in first and squeeze in. I asked my family to move to the guest room first.
, free up the room for Xiandi’s family.”
Cheng Tingzhi shook his head slightly and forced a smile to Sun Fu: "There is no need to be so anxious. Sun Shangshu will stay here for now, and I will find another place to stay temporarily."
Are you kidding me, your family has lived in a place for several years, and you don’t clean it for a few days, and then you let us move in?
Cheng Tingzhi naturally refused.
As for the word "下官".
Sun Fu now worships the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and leads the prince Shaobao.
This minister of the Ministry of Industry is a second-grade official.
However, the Crown Prince Shaobao holds a first-grade official position, and his rank is indeed higher than that of a second-grade governor.
That's why he calls himself a lower official.
However, this sentence is somewhat gritty.
Fortunately, Shen Yi was present for this embarrassing scene. He glanced at the two governors and said with a smile: "Well, don't rush to eat this meal now. The governor's office should have a lot of things to hand over. You two
Zhongcheng will go and have a brief communication first, and I will arrange a place for Cheng Zhongcheng’s family to stay. Once the arrangements are made, it won’t be too late to have this meal.”
Facing Shen Yi, the former and current governors wanted to give him some face, so they both nodded in agreement.
Shen Yi waved his hand to call Jiang Sheng over, and then said: "Go to Miss Ye and tell her to arrange a better house, one close to the governor's office. Explain to her."
Mr. Shen paused and continued: "The new governor lives here."
Shen Yi can find a place to live as long as he has money, but after all, it takes time. If he wants to find a suitable place to live in a short time without causing the Cheng family to lose face, he must rely on these Fuzhou
of local snakes.
Of course…
According to the emperor's wishes, the properties of these Fuzhou nobles will be managed through Miss Ye in the future. Taking this opportunity, she can also have some relationship with the first constitution of Fujian in the next six years.
Jiang Sheng nodded quickly and quickly went down to deliver the message.
Shen Yi did not wait at the governor's office. Instead, he looked at the four members of the Cheng family and said with a smile: "Mrs. Cheng, you two young masters, my subordinates are here to look after these luggage. Find a place to live and estimate how much it will cost." During the meeting, I will take you to the city for a meal first."
Although Mrs. Cheng was a little angry because she couldn't live in the governor's Yamen, she still managed a smile and said to Shen Yi: "Scholar Shen, you are going to have dinner with Sun Shangshu and others later, so you don't have to accompany our family. We can just walk around the city and find a place to eat."
"If you eat with them, you probably won't be full."
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "I'd better find a place to lay my head."
After that, he led the Cheng family to find a restaurant for dinner near the governor's office. There were five of them. Mr. Shen ordered six or seven dishes. They all sat down. They hadn't finished the meal yet. Jiang Sheng became angry. Panting, he trotted all the way to Shen Yi.
"Mr..Gongzi."
Shen Yi glanced back at him and asked, "Has the message arrived?"
Jiang Sheng raised his finger and pointed outside, and saw a young woman in a blue dress standing outside the restaurant. The woman put her hands in front of her and waited quietly at the door of the restaurant.
When Shen Yi saw this, he just said "hmm", then ate his food calmly, glanced back at Jiang Sheng, and asked, "Would you like to sit down and eat something?"
Jiang Sheng glanced at the Cheng family and quickly shook his head: "The villain is not hungry."
He has been running errands with Shen Yi for two years. During these two years, Shen Yi did not treat him as a human being. Sometimes they would have dinner together, but now that there are outsiders present, Jiang Sheng will not break the rules.
Shen Yi nodded, smiled at the four members of the Cheng family, and said, "You guys eat slowly. I've probably found a place to stay. I'll go ask."
After that, he stood up and walked towards the door of the restaurant.
The woman at the door is none other than Ye Chan, the eldest daughter of the Ye family.
Ye Chan's heart skipped a beat when she saw Shen Yi getting up from his seat.
It's not like lovers bumping into each other randomly.
But fear.
Because of the conditions proposed by the Fuzhou gentry to the court, the court has not yet responded!
In other words, the wealth and lives of more than a dozen Fuzhou nobles, including the Ye family, are in the hands of this young man in front of them!
Last year, Ye Chan had already seen the methods of this young imperial envoy.
In her heart, she had a natural fear of Shen Yi.
Seeing Shen Yi coming out, she quickly leaned forward and said, "I've seen Imperial Commissioner Shen..."
Shen Yi glanced at the woman in front of him, his eyes rarely paused for a breath, and then he slowly said: "I am appointed as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. From now on, you will call me Bachelor Shen."
Ye Chan was very obedient and immediately lowered her head: "Yes, Bachelor Shen."
Mr. Shen paused for a moment and asked: "Miss Tuoye has found a place to live. I wonder if she has found it? If not, I will find someone else to help."
Ye Chan took a deep breath and lowered her head quickly: "Scholar Shen, I have found my concubine in the house. She is just opposite the governor's office. I will take you there when Scholar Shen has finished eating."
"There's Miss Lauye."
Shen Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I estimate that I will live here for ten days and a half, and the rent will be calculated as one month. I will pay it to Miss Ye later, so I don't have to ask the governor and his family for it."
Ye Chan's voice trembled a little, and she lowered her head deeply: "Scholar Shen, it is my honor to be able to find a place for the governor to live in. I absolutely cannot ask for this rent."
Shen Yi thought for a while and then said: "Well, you don't have to accept it, but the new Governor Cheng will probably force it on you. Then you can accept one or two taels as a token, otherwise this matter will probably not go well. past."
Shen Yi reminded: "The newly appointed Governor Cheng is an honest and upright person."
Ye Chan was stunned.
Cheng Tingzhi knew that she knew.
It turns out that I have been serving as chief envoy in Fujian for two or three years. I heard that I still collect the money that I should collect, but I just don’t have any sense of presence...
But when she heard what Shen Yi said, she thought thoughtfully, lowered her head and said, "Yes, thank you, Bachelor Shen, for the tip."
In this way, under the leadership of Ye Chan, the Cheng family quickly arrived at a large house located opposite the governor's office. This house should have been vacated not long ago and had been cleaned and tidy.
The two young masters of the Cheng family and their youngest daughter were looking around in this house, and it was obvious that there was something novel about it.
This is the disadvantage of being poor and raising a family.
Shen Yi looked at Cheng Tingzhi's two sons who were full of curiosity about the mansion and felt a little worried.
He knew Cheng Tingzhi's temperament, and there would probably be no problems. But if those people couldn't attack Cheng Tingzhi, they would probably start with his family members.
Shen Yi had seen how majestic the governor's son was in Lin'an Mansion.
As for the two somewhat "poor" young masters of the Cheng family, they suddenly transformed into the governor's sons and came to the governor's territory. It is still unknown whether they can resist the temptations in all aspects.
After settling down the Cheng family, Ye Chan came to Shen Yi and bowed respectfully to Shen Yi: "Senior Scholar Shen, at the end of last year, I waited for the Fuzhou gentry to make a request to the imperial court. It is unknown..."
"I will tell you about this matter in two days."
Mr. Shen stretched his waist and said, "But there is one thing I can tell Miss Ye. As long as you abide by the law and obey the court's arrangements, Shen guarantees that all of your families will be safe and sound."
Ye Chan breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "Scholar Shen has just returned to Fuzhou. Do you want me to find you a place to live?"
"That's not necessary."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "I have a residence in Fuzhou."
There is a newspaper office in Fuzhou, and Shen Yi's residence has already been arranged.
He looked at Ye Chan: "The two governors want to treat me to dinner. Miss Ye, thank you for your help this time. Let's talk next time?"
