The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 193 What Did You Win?
Half a month later, near Donghua Gate, Dongchang Yamen.

East Factory supervises Jinyiwei.Jin Yiwei only handles Qin cases.

The function of Dongchang is much larger than that of Jinyiwei.The imperial court will try major cases, and Dongchang has to send people to hear the trial; Dongchang must read the border newspapers and pond newspapers of the Ministry of War, and the residence newspaper of the General Administration Department.

Even the living conditions of ordinary people, the price of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, Dongchang has to check and record one by one.

Chang Feng led Liu Jin to the gate of Dongchang.

Liu Jin looked up and glanced at the four-character gold-plated plaque of "Dongji Incident Factory".

Chang Feng said: "I have a part-time job in the East Factory, if Li Guang wants to touch you again, he has to weigh it up."

Liu Jin looked at Chang Feng with grateful eyes: "Master Chang."

Chang Feng patted Liu Jin on the shoulder, and interrupted him: "Don't say anything out of sight."

"We are all from God Wynn. God is gone, we have to help each other. "

Chang Feng led Liu Jin to the Dugong's duty room.

Qian Neng was sitting in the value room drinking some wine.The appetizer is very simple, it is a plate of preserved eggs.

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Boss, I brought Liu Jin here. From now on, my old nephew will depend on you to take care of me!"

People in Jinyiwei all called Qian Neng "the boss" to show their closeness.

Liu Jin knelt down and kowtowed to Qian Neng: "Subordinate Liu Jin, pay homage to Duke Du."

Qian Neng said with a smile: "Please hurry up. We are all from our own family."

After exchanging pleasantries, Qian Neng pointed to the preserved eggs on the plate: "Chang Feng, sit down and taste the preserved eggs that bastard Wang Shu entrusted to me."

"Wang Shu is really shabby. He said in the letter that I don't have any eggs, so he sent preserved eggs so that I can make up my body."

"Haha, it's a joke. I want to supplement my body, but I also eat tiger eggs and bear eggs. Do I need to eat preserved eggs?"

Chang Feng is unrestrained in front of Qian Neng.He was not polite, sat down, reached out and took a piece of preserved egg, put it in his mouth, chewed it: "Well, it's really delicious."

Qian Neng asked: "Liu Jin, is the injury on your back healed?"

Liu Jin replied: "Thank you, Dugong, for your concern. I'm already recovering."

Qian Nengdao: "Eunuch Li's attack was too harsh. If Princess Wanping hadn't stopped it in time, maybe you would have died."

The relationship between Qian Neng and Li Guang is similar to Shang Ming and Liang Fang.The two sides have always been on the same page.

Chang Feng interjected: "In the future, Liu Jin will have you as a big backer, so no one else would dare to touch him."

"Who doesn't know that my master's seniority in the palace is second only to Eunuch Xiao."

Qian Neng said with a smile: "You are the only monkey who can talk. Liu Jin, from now on you will be the right foreman in Dongchang."

"According to the calculation, you are sitting in the fifth position in the East Factory!"

Liu Jin is thankful again.

Chang Feng got up: "The emperor gave me a thousand mu of land in Huangzhuang in the western suburbs. I have to go there and hand over the land."

Qian Neng praised: "Look. In the entire court, who can be more favored than you. The emperor bestowed the family slave Huangzhuang Tianmu, it's amazing."

Chang Feng came out of Dedongchang.Twenty brocade-clothed guards followed on horseback.

A group of people came to Huangzhuang in the western suburbs majestically and mightily.

The steward of Huangzhuang is a young prisoner in his 50s named Qiu Ju.

Qiu Ju cupped his hands towards Chang Feng: "Chang Tongzhi, I have prepared the field booklet for you."

Chang Feng returned the salute: "There is Mr. Laoqiu."

Qiu Ju took out the field booklet.Chang Feng took it, signed his name on it, and pressed his fingerprint.A thousand acres of Huangzhuang land is in hand.

The land in Huangzhuang is all high-quality cultivated land with fertile soil.A thousand mu is worth at least two or three thousand taels of silver.

Chang Feng is very proud of this reward.

Emperor Hongzhi was a thrifty emperor.When rewarding officials, most of them are symbolic rewards (except for foreign relatives).

Such a real reward of a thousand acres of land is extremely rare.

Qiu Ju led Chang Feng to look at the thousand acres of land.Patiently explain what crops to plant in what season.

Chang Feng discovered that there were about [-] acres of gourds planted next to his own land.

There are molds on the gourds.A group of farmers are picking gourds.After taking down the gourd, if you are not satisfied with the shape, just crush it with one foot.

Chang Feng asked Qiu Ju, "Whose land does that belong to? Why are there so many gourds?"

Qiu Ju replied: "It is the land of the two uncles of the Zhang family. The two uncles have been fond of playing gourd since last year."

"The servants of the Zhang family set aside a hundred acres of land for growing gourds. Each gourd is covered with a mold."

"Don't worry about planting too much. After one season, at most two or three gourds with beautiful shape and firm skin can be produced on a hundred acres of land."

Chang Feng asked, "What about the rest?"

Qiu Ju replied, "Just crush them all."

Chang Feng sighed: "For two or three gourds, one hundred acres of gourd land is set up. It is really extravagant."

"If wheat millet is planted, at least twenty families can be fed."

Qiu Ju said with a smile: "Yes. The two uncles are famous for their playfulness, and they don't spare money."

Chang Feng rode his horse back to the mansion.There is a mule tied to the horse-tying stone at the gate.

Chang Feng recognized that it was the mule of his prospective brother-in-law Huang Yuan.

After entering the mansion, Chang Feng asked Liu Xiaoyan who was embroidering women's red under the pomegranate tree in the front yard: "Huang Yuan is here?"

Liu Xiaoyan replied: "Well, here we are. We're fishing with Tangtang by the pond in the back garden."

Chang Feng frowned: "Isn't it just getting along alone? I haven't passed the door yet, so I will suffer again."

Liu Xiaoyan replied: "Don't worry. Ninth Sister brought a little maid and watched them from across the pond."

Chang Feng came to the pond.

Huang Yuan has always been a scholar and attaches great importance to etiquette.He was not next to Chang Tian, ​​but separated by three feet.Holding a fishing rod in his hand.

Chang Feng patted Huang Yuan on the shoulder, causing Huang Yuan to tremble in fright: "Ah! It's Brother Chang."

Chang Feng laughed and said, "You have no ghosts in your heart, what are you afraid of?"

Chang Tian gave Chang Feng a white look: "I'm afraid you will scare away the bastard who was about to bite the hook."

Just as he was talking, Chang Tian's fishing rod trembled, and he caught a bastard that weighed a pound.

Chang Tian took off the hook for Wang Ba happily: "Today I caught three, and you caught two. You lost."

Huang Yuandao: "The princess is skilled in skills. The students are willing to bow down."

Chang Tian held his head up like a victorious general, and threw Wang Ba back into the pond to release him.

If Wang Ba could speak, he would definitely sing a few words to Chang Tian: Listen to me, thank you, because of you
Chang Feng sat next to Huang Yuan: "You will take the Beizhili Township Examination in five months. How are you preparing?"

Huang Yuan said modestly: "I don't have a bottom in my heart."

Chang Feng said with a smile: "It's okay to be unsure. You have to get a title in the township examination, and you will be listed on the apricot list and the gold list next spring. Only when you have the honor of Jinshi can you marry Tangtang."

When the eldest brother talked about marriage, Chang Tian blushed shyly.She got up: "I'll go to the kitchen to see if the old hen stew is ready. My sister-in-law said that tonight the stewed hen soup will nourish your body."

After Chang Tian left, Chang Feng said to Huang Yuan: "The emperor just gave me a thousand mu of land. The land cannot be transferred to others."

"But the annual harvest can be handled by yourself. When the two of you get married, the annual harvest will be given to you."

"It's all part of my dowry to Tangtang."

Huang Yuan said: "Thank you, brother."

Chang Feng said, "It's all said to be a dowry. It's not your turn to thank her. You just need to be nice to her."

"If she suffers even the slightest bit of grievance after marrying you, be careful that I'll take your skin off."

Huang Yuan smiled wryly: "You are not the only one who said he wanted to pick my skin off."

Chang Feng asked: "Oh? Who else?"

Huang Yuan replied: "Of course it's the two uncles of the country. The two uncles of the country went to the Imperial College the day before yesterday, and dragged me to drink."

"As soon as I raised the wine glass, they threatened me that if I treat the princess badly, they will skin me. Skinning me is not counted, but my egg yolk is squeezed out to feed the flies."

Chang Feng laughed and said, "These two live the king of Hades."

At night, after the family had dinner, Chang Feng and Huang Yuan discussed art making for a while.

Chang Feng found that his own understanding of the scriptures and the gorgeousness and accuracy of the words used in the article were far inferior to that of his prospective brother-in-law.

Huang Yuanzhongju should be like searching for something.

If nothing else.In the spring of next year, Chang Feng and his prospective brother-in-law Huang Yuan will step into the gate of the Gongyuan and participate in the Chunwei Examination.

He said with emotion: "It seems that next spring, I will be your foil."

Huang Yuan said modestly: "Brother Chang is too famous. I don't know if he will be named on the Guibang this autumn. How dare I expect Chunwei?"

At the moment of Haishi, Chang Feng sent Huang Yuan out of the mansion.

He sat on the deck chair under the pomegranate tree in the front yard and looked up at the stars in the spring night sky.

Chang Feng's birthday is in autumn.After this autumn, he will officially enter his thirties.

Compared with the vast galaxy, ten years may be just a moment.

For humans, ten years is a long time.

In the past ten years, Chang Feng has experienced many officialdom battles and court intrigues.

He has done good things, and he has done bad things.Has been cruel, but also kind.

After going through so many things, he rose from a general banner of housekeeping to Zuo Tongzhi, and became the actual controller of Jinyiwei.

Chang Feng thought to himself: I don't know if my father has a spirit in the sky and knows my current identity.Will you be proud of me or worried.

Day and night alternately, the pomegranate trees in Changfu bloom, fall, produce fruit, and bear fruit.

In the blink of an eye, it was the autumn of the eighth year of Hongzhi, and the pomegranate fruit had already opened its mouth, revealing a belly of bright red children and grandchildren.

Chang Feng finished attending the morning court.He didn't go to Jinyiwei, but returned home.In a hurry, Madam Nine changed him into casual clothes.

Chang Feng urged Mrs. Ninth: "Quickly fasten my belt. I have to go to the Qingsong coffin shop. Today is the day when the results of the provincial examination will be released."

Turning around, he saw Chang Tian standing at the door.

Chang Feng asked: "Tangtang. I'm going to Huang Yuan's house, and I'll wait for Zhongju's happy post with him. Why don't you come?"

Chang Tian said shyly, "I won't go. Brother, you go. If he wins, remember to come back and tell me."

Chang Feng came to the Qingsong coffin shop.On that autumn night ten years ago, he started the road to promotion step by step after laying the old cripple in the green pine coffin.

Ten years later, the old cripple has become his in-laws.Things in the world are really elusive.

Huang Yuan and the old cripple were already waiting at the door.

The results of the township examination are released. If the new imperial examination candidates live in the capital, the newspaper will report before noon.

The three of them waited from early in the morning until Sangan at sunrise.

The old cripple said: "Let's go back to the house and wait."

The three of them went back to the coffin shop.A tea table was set up among a pile of coffins and paper bundles.

Huang Yuan was uneasy.When going to get the teapot, he accidentally hit his head on a large nanmu coffin.

As soon as he was in pain, he missed and "cracked!" The teapot fell to pieces.

Huang Yuan scolded: "Unlucky."

Chang Feng said: "It's wrong. This is a good omen, coffin coffin, promotion and wealth. Added a piece of peace!"

The old cripple swept up the fragments of the teapot all over the floor.After making a pot of tea, the three drank tea and continued to sit and wait.

From three shots in the sun until almost noon, no newspapers came to the door.

Chang Feng had no choice but to comfort Huang Yuan: "You are still young. It is not a bad thing to fail the provincial examination for the first time. After three years, you will definitely pass."

Huang Yuan asked cautiously: "Then, will the marriage between the student and the Princess be delayed until three years later?"

Chang Feng said with a smile: "So you are worried about this, kid. Keep your heart in your stomach. Regardless of whether you win or not, I will arrange your marriage in the spring of next year."

The old cripple said: "Forget it. It seems that the newspaper will not come today. Master Chang, I'll make lunch."

"Don't think that I'm too poor for wine and vegetables here. It's hard to come here and leave after lunch."

Chang Feng rolled up his arms and sleeves: "I'll cook with you. I haven't been in the kitchen for ten years."

The three of them were washing rice and choosing vegetables in the kitchen.Huang Yuan couldn't hide his disappointed expression.

Chang Feng picked up the wooden barrel and poured water into the pot.Suddenly he seemed to hear the sound of gongs and drums.

Chang Feng put down the bucket: "Listen, what's the sound?"

Huang Yuan's eyes lit up: "It seems to be the sound of gongs and drums."

The sound of gongs and drums is getting closer.The three came to the door of the coffin shop.

I saw two newspapers, one fat and one thin, happily walking over.Followed by a dozen guards beating gongs and drums.

People all over the street gathered around and stopped to watch the excitement.

Fat Baozi walked to the door of the coffin shop and shouted: "Is this the treasure house of Master Huang Yuanhuang?"

Huang Yuan hurriedly said, "I'm here!"

The fat newspaper held up a wedding invitation: "Congratulations to Mr. Huang Yuanhuang, the No. 10 sub-yuan in the Beizhili Township Examination of High School."

Huang Yuan accepted the wedding invitation.He caressed the wedding stickers like he was carrying Chang Feng behind his back, stroking Chang Tian's tender hands in Chang Mansion.

After a while, he laughed loudly: "Hey, good, I've won!"

It's too late, but it's fast.Before he finished speaking, the fat reporter swung his arms round, "Crack!" and gave Huang Yuan a big fight!

Huang Yuan was stunned.

Chang Feng and the old cripple were also stunned.I've never heard of the custom that after being elected, the newspaper will slap the new recruits to the National People's Congress for a fight.

It doesn't count if the fat newspaper has finished slapping Huang Yuan.His forehead was furrowed into the word "well", with a ferocious expression on his face.

Then he held his breath and roared angrily, "Bastard, what did you hit!"

Huang Yuan turned pale with shock: "Huh?"

Fat Baozi swung his arms again: "Your name is Huang Yuan, right?" Before he finished speaking, "Crack!" It was another big fight.

Two consecutive big fights made Huang Yuan stupid.

Chang Feng came to his senses and grabbed Fat Baozi's neck: "It's fine if you announce the good news late, and beat up the new imperial examiner?"

"I can't deal with you! I am Jin Yiwei Zuo Tong and knows Chang Feng!"

Chang Feng pinched Fat Baozi speechless.

The thin newspaper beside him couldn't laugh or cry: "You are Master Chang of Jin Yiwei? Master Chang, you have misunderstood!"

"Today, our brothers were in charge of delivering the happy news to five households. Two of the new recruits were extremely happy and sad, and were fascinated by the happy phlegm."

"That's why we delayed to announce the good news to Mr. Huang."

"Slapped Master Huang in the face, called him a beast, and asked him what he was hit with. It was because he was afraid that he would also like to phlegm."

"We really have good intentions!"

Chang Feng couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this explanation: "What else is there?"

After speaking, he let go of the fat newspaper.

Fat Baozi and thin Baozi knelt down: "Master Chang, we really have no malicious intentions."

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "I misunderstood you all. Get up quickly."

Fat Bao was so courageous that he stretched out his hand in front of the treasurer of Jin Yiwei to beg for a reward.

Now that Chang Feng's family is well-off, he poured out four golden beans from his purse and gave two gold beans to each of them.

The fat reporter shouted: "Thank you, Master Xi, for the reward! I wish Master Huang will be on the apricot list in succession, and go straight to the gold list in the imperial examination!"

Huang Yuan smiled and said, "I would like to borrow your good words."

After sending away the newspapers, all the neighbors on Fulu Street who specialize in the business of dead people sent wine, food and congratulatory money one after another.

Fulu Street is full of joy.Among these low-ranking neighbors, there finally came out a master Juren
